Joules has been sent by his 'boss' with the pay off money. His 'boss' is black mailing Christian with incriminating evidence he has of Christian from a past crime, from which he escaped the blame. Joules' boss is demanding a large sum of money for the evidence.
If the police got hold of the evidence Christian would be convicted of corruption and forgery. Hence Christians need for the documents to keep his name clear. Christian is paying out a lot for this evidence

Age: mid-40's
Actor: Martin Lambert


Christian’s suitcase contains money which is exchanged for this evidence as a pay off. Joules has been sent by his 'boss' to give Christian the evidence.
