You have access to information

that would be very useful to my investigation.

Why are you telling me this?

Cos I think you and I can help each other.

Jared told me it was a new piece of software where I could look

at all my accounts in one place.

He could never have created this.

Did Jared ever deal with the IT guys?

Erm, no, I don't think so.

He usually just gave me his laptop and asked me to ring someone.

Lexie was convicted for conspiracy to commit serious assault.

She only had her boyfriend beat up her dad.

Your father could have died.

Not because of me, Mum. And you both knew that.

It was for your own good.

Having you take the blame may have seemed harsh,

but you had to learn a lesson.

Lexie Noble is now the prime suspect in this murder investigation.

I can't use your evidence against Morris.

I can't help you any more. You're on your own.

What am I supposed to do now?

I don't think they qualify for the grant,

which leaves the path clear for you to buy it.

The community group found a last-minute backer.

She's screwed us over, and I swear to God she's gonna pay for it.

PHONE VIBRATES

My girlfriend's so sick of me asking where she is all the time,

she just sends me these.

Paranoid. Surprised you haven't put a tracker on her.

Oh, I thought about it. Now I just check her satnav.

See you tomorrow. See you.

SATNAV: 'Starting route to 43 Cranmuir Street.'

Kathleen.

Can I, er, get you a tea or a coffee?

No. Kathleen...

..were you and Jared having an affair?

No. Why would... Why would you say that?

Because your address is in the satnav of our car.

RATTLING

Jared asked us to help him with some work...

off the books.

Michael's a web designer.

You made the banking software. Right.

He said he needed to buy himself some time,

that he'd made a mistake

and he didn't want the client to panic.

Did he tell you who the client was?

No. He just gave me the information he needed Michael to input.

Jared kept saying there was nothing to worry about,

but after he was... killed...

We thought we might be next.

There's something that you need to have.

Jared asked us to hold on to this for safekeeping.

OK, look, this... client,

he doesn't know anything about you right now,

and that's good.

So please, please, just keep your heads down.

RATTLING THROUGH HEADPHONES

CRY OF PAIN

MUFFLED GROAN

Are you OK?

It was Jared's.

Don't ask.

OK.

They'll be client accounts.

Don't ask.

DOORBELL RINGS

WOMAN: Is Mrs Noble in?

Yes. We need to speak to her. Can we come in?

Mrs Noble, we need you to come with us.

Do you know who this woman is?

It's... the back of someone's head.

But you agree that's Jared with her?

Yeah.

They clearly seem to know each other.

That street's just around the corner from a hotel,

the same hotel that was on Jared's credit card statement

the date this footage was taken.

Also these. They were on the statement too.

The earrings Jared didn't buy you?

Now, we know she isn't called Sarah Blaine,

because that's a fake name,

but it's just a matter of time before we track her down.

Come on, Lexie, you can't deny there's a pattern here.

You get angry with your dad so you persuade someone to hurt him.

I didn't.

You find out your husband's having an affair.

Those boys deliberately targeted Jared,

and I'd bet money they were paid to do it.

I agree with you, so why haven't you found out who paid them?

You need to think very carefully, Lexie.

If you were involved in any way in Jared's death...

WHISPERS: For God's sake.

..as I'm sure your solicitor will confirm,

a confession at this point will still work strongly in your favour.

I can't confess to something I didn't do.

SOLICITOR: Mrs Noble has been more than co-operative.

Now, given that it's getting late,

and if you have nothing else to discuss...?

Good.

Interview terminated 23:34.

I hid box.

Thank you.

Lexie, are you in trouble?

Erm... I said that I would find something for someone.

It's a... It's a client of Jared's.

What happens if you cannot?

This is not your problem.

Where did you put the box?

No good?

No.

No, look, there's this one account, Previte Holdings,

that I'm trying to access.

It's a Latvian bank,

but there's no company called Previte Holdings

on the Latvian register.

You can just tell this person that.

It doesn't work like that.

What's that?

I've no idea.

Jared left you in shit.

Yeah.

OK, so what am I looking at?

I've been checking the CCTV

round the area Jared Noble was stabbed.

This boy fits the description.

It's the right time,

and he's coming from the right direction.

OK. All right.

Let's get a photo of the other boy out.

Someone's gotta recognise that jacket.

I picked up a new name on the Noble intercept.

Previte Holdings.

Is it one of Morris's shell companies?

If it is, it's not one we've come across.

Has she set it up for him?

Well, according to the tape, she's trying to access it for him.

And I've done a search for Previte Holdings

and it's not registered in any of the main territories.

GUTHRIE CHUCKLES

She's the money man.

If she is, not willingly. That doesn't matter.

If she's his new accountant,

we've got him, and she's going down with him.

So, planning permits, all that?

Yeah, and it can all go through the same company.

You could use CVB Investments, but I think it would be cleaner

if you establish a dedicated entity, separate name.

Like what? What kind of name?

Like... Isle of Eris Services or something like that.

OK. OK, do that then.

Did you want me to set it up?

No, I'll let them do the legwork in Malta.

Just tell them what I want, OK?

You're looking tired. Are you sleeping all right?

Yeah, it was just a late one. My wee girl's not been very well.

I've had a call... DOOR CLOSES

They suggest we go to them.

Condescending wee pricks.

They'll meet where I tell them to meet.

Shipping containers - are you on top of it?

Yeah, it's under control.

First shipment's due in China next week,

next one two weeks after that.

Because this isn't just our money, remember.

And I don't want to be answering to our friends,

you know what I mean? Yeah, you can relax. It's fine.

You still haven't given me the paperwork.

I'll get it to you. Don't worry.

It's all under control.

If it's got nothing to do with the hotels,

why the hell has he bought an island?

All he said was it's a valuable asset.

It looks like he's got that new accountant on it.

The woman.

Lexie Noble?

I'm just relieved he's not planning a new build.

Can't afford that at the moment.

Is occupancy still down? Yeah.

Overheads are through the roof.

Listen, darling, if you're struggling...

I'm not struggling, it's just...

Well, it's been a tough couple of years for everyone.

You need to speak to your dad.

Mum, I'm CEO of the company.

I'm not gonna run to Dad every time there's a problem.

I'll figure it out, OK?

OK. Fine.

Seems we got lucky.

Uniform at Turncross Road brought him in for shoplifting.

The custody sergeant recognised his jacket.

What did he nick?

Rotisserie chicken.

Come on, Nicky.

You're right there, talking to him. Yeah, I know, bro.

I'm a friendly guy. I talk to everyone.

All right, look, you clearly know each other.

I don't know.

Maybe I've seen him around.

We need a name.

HE SCOFFS He's not like a mate or anything.

Yeah? Cos, given you were carrying a fairly large quantity of weed

as well as this stolen chicken...

..not forgetting the fact that you're out on licence...

..you might wanna think again about that.

His name's Connor Ridley.

I think his mum stays on Lochbairn Estate.

Sorry to just turn up. Oh, not at all.

I was gonna call you,

but I'm afraid DCI Royce is still giving me the run-around.

It's not about DI Royce. OK.

I wanna speak to you about Jared.

All right. Er, do you want a cup of tea or something?

I wanna know if you were doing any legal work for him.

No.

Anything to do with incorporating companies, overseas?

It's not really my area, Lexie.

So he never spoke to you about any business in Eastern Europe?

The only time we've ever talked about Eastern Europe

is when we had to organise that bloody awful stag do for Ben.

Where was that?

Vilnius.

Lithuania? Not that I saw much of it.

Spent most of the time wandering the streets of the old town

looking for vodka bars.

What?

Rufus, what?

Well, Jared did duck out for a couple of hours.

Said he was meeting some... lawyer,

somebody that he had dealings with over the phone.

Thank you, Rufus.

Wait, Lexie, what's going on? I'll give you a call, OK?

He's not here.

Last I heard he was away up seeing a pal near Dundee.

Oh, when was this? Couple of weeks ago.

Right, well, if he gets in touch...

Aye, aye, you'll be the first to hear.

Mind if I use your toilet? Hang on! What are you doing?

You can't come in here. Get away from there.

Get away from there! Come here! What are you doing?

All right, all right. Oi-oi-oi-oi-oi!

Stay there. Enough! Get your hands off me, you prick!

You all right?

Aye.

Look, I don't know what you're talking about.

I've told you, I've done nothing wrong.

Is that why you were about to chuck yourself out of the window, aye?

Connor, we know that you were part of an orchestrated attack

on a man called Jared Noble.

Now, the only question is

whether you were the one that actually stabbed him.

It makes it easier if you're our man.

Means we don't need to go and find the others.

You cannae do that.

One in four chance we've got it right.

You reckon the Fiscal will think that's worth going for?

Mm.

Didn't know what was going down till it happened.

A mate just said he needed some bodies,

said he'd give me a score to go and rough this guy up.

Didnae know he was gonna stab him.

OK. What mate, Connor?

Come on.

Everyone calls him Tab. I don't know his real name.

Ma'am.

Oh, brilliant, thank you.

Right.

Meet Michael "Tab" Moray.

Jesus, he looks about 12.

Any links to a particular OCG?

Hmm, no.

Seems like he'll work for anyone who pays.

I'm guessing he was paid to set up the attack.

Jean, do we really think

that Lexie Noble paid for this kid to kill her husband?

It got the job done, didn't it?

You know, if you don't want to build a hotel

we could always do holiday lets.

What was that?

On the island.

There must be cottages or outbuildings or something.

I don't know.

Well, you must have some idea what you wanna do.

You've gone to all this trouble to buy the bloody place.

I don't know, Con. I just told you I don't know.

Maybe we just live there.

SHE SCOFFS

Melyna Jura.

RINGING TONE

'You have reached Melyna Jura Legal Services.

'We are closed at the moment,

'but our opening hours are eight to five, Monday to Friday,

'and Saturday seven to 11am.

'Please leave a message after the tone.'

PHONE VIBRATES

What's up?

Word from our source at Muirbridge.

They've brought in one of Jared's attackers.

Connor Ridley.

And there's another name.

Michael Moray.

According to Ridley, Moray had the knife.

Do we know this guy?

No, I don't think so.

And there's something else.

It seems Mrs Noble hasn't been entirely honest with us.

I've found something.

You lied to me.

You said you were looking after your sick kid

when you were talking to the police. Why?

I... I didn't know what you would think

if I told you I was in the police station all night.

What were you talking about?

I mean, it's DI Royce.

She thinks I'm involved, so...

..my solicitor said she's getting desperate.

It's because they still haven't identified Jared's attackers.

They've already identified two of them.

How do you know that?

Because I know everything.

Do I need to remind you what you stand to lose

if you're messing me about?

Cal, I'm the prime suspect in my husband's murder.

If you want me to share every question she asks me,

I'll do that.

So it's just routine.

It's just the same old shit.

So what have you found?

Well, there's, er...

..this little lock-box of Jared's that he left in the office.

One of the junior accountants gave it to me.

I got it open, and there...

It's got all the bank cards.

All the passcodes, everything we needed.

Show me.

So, all the money ends up in this shell company,

and I think this is the incorporation lawyer

that Jared will have used,

so he'll be our best bet to access the company account.

So all you've actually found is a lawyer.

Yeah, so far.

I've tried calling him.

You won't get anything over the phone.

It has to be in person.

How long for you to get hold of your passport guy?

Two hours. Three tops.

Right, well, get it sorted,

and then get two flight tickets to Vilnius.

What, for me? Why do I have to go?

You're the next of kin.

I'm a suspect in a murder investigation.

If the police think I'm fleeing the country,

they're gonna put me in prison.

Police won't know.

Look, I'm sorry,

I will do everything I can from here, but I've got kids.

I can't take that risk.

Fine.

Then you may as well take her home.

Let's go.

THROUGH HEADPHONES: 'Hello?'

Hiya.

Doris?

Es?

'Esme?'

MUFFLED FOOTSTEPS

Guys, this isn't funny!

PHONE RINGS

Where are they?

CAL: 'Shut up and listen.'

No!

'Be at the airport for 7am.

'Take your passport and your marriage licence.

'No phones, and don't use your own car.

'Aaron will be waiting at departures.

'Now, do you understand?'

'7am.

'Departures.'

No phones.

Yeah, send a unit car, but tell them to hang back.

We're assessing a potential threat to life,

so they mustn't make a move until you hear from me.

PHONE BUZZES

Are you absolutely sure?

Yeah, she was talking about departures.

Right, has she left the house yet? Not yet.

I've sent a unit car.

Why the fuck have you done that? Well, I had to do something.

It sounded like her kids could be in danger.

Jesus Christ, Jibran.

We need surveillance, not bloody uniforms.

She sounded genuinely scared.

Let's not jump to conclusions about the kids' whereabouts.

No, but I heard on the phone...

You didn't hear a definite threat to life.

All we know for certain is she's going to the airport,

which means either she's planning a runner

or she's gonna do a job for Morris, so get your lot out of there.

Subject on the move.

Copy that. Subject has entered the check-in hall.

Alpha One following on foot, requesting further instruction.

Do we want to intercept her?

Not yet. No.

Let's get CCTV up there. We need to see what she's doing.

Aaron! What's going on? Where are they?

Where have they taken them? Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Look at me.

All I know is, you stay calm, get the job done,

and you'll get them back. Understand?

Take this. That's yours.

Let's go.

Freeze. Full screen, top right.

There.

That's Aaron Morris with her. Do we know where they're going yet?

Nothing from passport control.

She's not travelling under her own name.

Right, stay on them.

We need to find out what flight they're planning to board.

We have to step in. I mean, if she's under duress...

You don't know that. We keep our options open.

Yeah, yeah, hi. I'm trying to find out what's happening

with my shipping container.

Hold on, what kind of time lag?

Cos I've been tracking it on your website.

It says it's gonna be there in two weeks.

OK, so how long are we talking?

What do you mean, you can't tell?

Wait, listen, listen. I'm gonna call you back tomorrow.

You'd better have more information for me, OK?

Let's go.

Gate 17, flight BL134 to Vilnius, Lithuania.

Why would Morris be sending her to Vilnius?

I've no idea.

If they're going in person, it's got to be something big.

Alpha One has a visual. Should they intercept?

You can't let her get on that plane.

She is a murder suspect.

Tell Alpha One to stand down.

Contact the Lithuanian authorities and explain the situation.

Tell them we're gonna need surveillance on their end.

You're not serious.

This is my call, OK? We let it play out.

This is nice, innit?

Let's go.

BUZZER

BELL RINGS

Hello.

Lexie Noble.

Oh, I'm Tomas Bantius.

Hello, come in. Please, sit down.

Thank you. Please, come in.

So, how exactly can I help you?

Erm, I think that you knew my husband, Jared Noble.

Are you here on his behalf?

We're here because he's dead.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Erm, I'm organising his affairs,

and there's one company, er, Previte Holdings.

I think that you were the incorporation agent.

If I may stop you there.

My apologies, but before we go further...

..I must ask you to provide proof.

Yeah.

I have my passport and my, er... my marriage certificate.

No.

Your husband should have provided you with a particular item.

It is a matter of security, you see.

Hold on.

Hold on.

She just told you that she's his wife.

Hang on, I...

I have... I have this.

I found it in Jared's things.

Is that what you need?

AARON LAUGHS

Are you serious? That's your security?

It cannot be duplicated, and only the owner knows its value.

And should either party need to send a proxy, it acts as a guarantee.

I'll fetch the file.

Thank you.

The office is registered to Melyna Jura Services.

As far as I can see, they specialise in company incorporation.

Maybe he's got her setting up more shell companies.

You could do that from here. Sir, I have DI Royce on the line.

She said she's been trying to reach you.

It's about a unit car being called into a suspect's residence.

Shit.

Right, erm, put her through to my office.

I'm gonna put you through. Please hold.

This is your fault.

This should be everything you need.

Thank you.

You'll see that Previte Holdings

is currently in the names of two Lithuanian associates,

but they already signed the document transferring ownership.

I just need to date it. OK.

Sorry, what are all these contracts?

Your company has been doing a very good trade in computer chips.

Each time money comes in, I make a new contract.

Different companies, different signatures.

All very convincing, yeah?

How do we access the bank account?

Erm, we... we think that Jared opened a company account in Latvia.

He may have, but the main account is held here in Lithuania.

The bank may be able to assist you.

Is the bank nearby?

Unfortunately, no, and they closed already.

You will need to wait until tomorrow.

Terrific (!)

Aaron, I can't stay here. I have to go home.

You wanna go home without the money?

Let's get a hotel.

Right, you can take the bedroom. I'll take the sofa.

You don't go anywhere or call anyone without me, OK?

OK. Aaron, can you call Cal now and find out if my kids are OK?

Oh, for Christ's sakes, will you stop it?

If you piss him off, this is what you get.

What did you expect?

Just be happy they're still alive.

Would you get in there?

HE CLEARS THROAT

Look, I'm sorry.

Let's go down and have a drink, yeah?

Come on, what else are we gonna do?

Come on, let's go.

Sir, as I was trying to say on the phone,

if there is a threat to life you should have pulled the plug,

cos otherwise, if there's no threat,

then you just let a murder suspect leave the country.

We know exactly where she is,

and if necessary, the Vilnius police can intervene.

She's travelling under a false name with a known criminal.

At what point did you plan on asking them to intervene?

If we pick her up, Morris will know we're watching her.

Now, we are done here.

Sir, with all due respect... KNOCK AT DOOR

Sir, they've checked into a hotel.

Vilnius police are standing by to start surveillance.

Can we get, er, two whiskies?

Not for me, thanks.

Two whiskies. Of course, sir.

Come on, it'll take the edge off.

You look like you could do with one.

PHONE VIBRATES

Is it Cal?

No, it's just some shipping thing.

Look, we'll go to the bank tomorrow, we'll get it sorted.

You'll be back in Edinburgh for dinner.

How do I even know if they're OK?

Cos I'm telling you that they are. Trust me.

Aaron, my little boy is two.

My daughter is seven.

They just lost their dad. I'm all they have.

They don't even know where I am.

I know this is hard for you.

I get that.

Fuck knows I don't wanna be here either.

'Scuse me. Yeah? Same again.

Gonna take a piss. Back in a minute.

You not gonna drink that?

Knock yourself out.

Well, I mean... if it's going to waste...

HE GRUNTS

Call it a night?

Cheers, mate. Good night.

I'm gonna go to bed. Yeah.

Chuck me a pillow, will you?

Good night. Night.

Hello?

'Hello?'

Can anyone hear me?

'Marie, can you hear me?'

What's she doing?

And who's Marie? I don't know.

OK, you need to tell me what is going on.

If you can hear me, he has my children.

Who the fuck are you talking to?

Shit.

I asked you a question.
