All language subtitles for Taggart s03e01 The Killing Philosophy

Morning, madam.

Have you seen this man at all?

Oh, I got stuck in a roadblock.

Some rapist escaped from car stairs.

Please look to my boot. As if I'd keep a
rapist in my boot.

You'd keep three.

Sir.

It's lucky the paper boy noticed the
broken window.

That's his statement.

Statement?

More like a novel.

Just being thorough.

Like your old fella.

What do you make of this lot?

Well, she was obviously entertaining
somebody.

That's for the furniture.

Walter Geist.

A philosophical problem is posed by
these antitheses.

Does the world have a structure, as we
suppose, or are things in it really

unconnected, thrown together only by
chance?

To say good comes from evil.

truth from error, logic from unlogic,
reason from unreason, all this looks not

just unclear and perhaps dangerous, but
is also contradictory.

Yet, good does come from evil in
individual cases.

The upshot is that history has a
structure, depending neither on logical

necessities nor on chance, but on us.

But what exactly does each individual
contribute?

Okay, that's everything for today.

For next week, can you prepare some
questions for criticism of Star?

I'm going to the lock.

Coming?

Just because she'll be there.

He wore a mask.

I think it was made of leather.

The clothes were all black.

They smelled old.

Steel.

He was just waiting for me.

Downstairs.

Waiting.

He turned the lights off at the mains.

And he tried.

He tried.

It's all right. Just take your time.

You must think I'm very foolish.

No.

Mary, a guy escaped from car stairs last
night.

He used to live about here.

We have to know if he's your attacker.

I didn't see his face.

You were entertaining somebody last
night.

The furniture was all moved up against
the doors and windows. He was waiting

me.

Who bought you the champagne and roses?

I... I don't want him to know.

Boyfriend?

Need to know his name, Mary.

I don't want you to.

Is he that important, sir?

Aye, it's important.

Please.

We have to eliminate him, Mary.

You don't believe me, do you?

None of you believe me. Of course we do.

We just want to talk to him.

He's married.

What's his name, Mary?

What made you want to follow him?

Ah, shoes fitted.

They were size 14.

Chief Inspector.

It's the policy of the female and child
unit to believe rape victims. Not bully

them. Suggest they're lying.

Just wanted her name, that's all.

You think she's making it up? About the
masked man?

She could have good reason to.

The furniture, the broken window.

You think she did all that?

She could be covering up for him.

Romantic dinner, he misinterprets the
invitation.

Oh, I suppose that makes it all right.

That was a trip.

Brilliant. You shall see India.

I hardly hear my bed.

It's great to be back.

She's old enough to be your mother.

She inspires me.

What are you writing?

A poem.

Can I read it?

This is rubbish.

Help!

Help!

I can't swim!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Here, catch.

What's going on here?

Here. You and your pal.

Come back here again with the apology.

No one's ever written a poem for me
before.

You are cold.

Would you like a drink?

A vodka.

Large one.

You teach dancing?

I've a pupil in a few minutes, but I
wouldn't worry about it.

What about you?

No, thanks. I've got to go.

See you, Patrick.

What's wrong with your friend?

He's jealous.

Of your technique?

You're very beautiful.

You're very forward. What do you do?

I'm at university.

Kevin, baby, I'm here.

Shit.

It's some kind of accident.

He fell out of a boat.

Hairless. Ground falling from a boat.

Cigarette, son.

No, thanks.

You're looking great today, Kim.

Let's just worry about the heel being
cold, eh, Brian?

How many of you went?

Me and two trumps.

Well, that's great.

Thanks very much.

Peter. Sir.

The boyfriend wasn't the attacker, then?

No. A florist in Rutherland, 60 pushing
40, just about ready to take advantage

of a bus pass.

How did Coldwell get out?

He walked out.

You arrested him four years ago. You
think it's him?

Nah. He wasn't that inventive. He's had
four years in car stairs to invent.

By the way, who's the new boy?

It's Mike Jarden.

Sergeant Jordan's son.

Yeah, who is he?

It's a boy I joined the police force
with.

Retired, no health.

Eastie bones make him a need.

It's a wonder he survived.

Are they all old, the people you teach?

No, I teach children's classes as well.

Much prefer it. They've nothing to
unlearn.

Plus, if an aerobics teacher comes in.

Did you never think of going on the
stage as a dancer?

I did at one time.

My parents were ballroom dancers. It was
all I knew from the age of three.

So when they died, they left me some
money. I took ten years' lease on the

That guy this afternoon.

He never took his eyes off you.

Brian, you're pleased to have lessons.

I'm a businesswoman, you know.

My dad's an advocate.

Lives in Perth.

I'm only here because of him.

And I'm only here because of you.

And I'll have to go.

Why?

I have a husband who waits up for me.

There was a reason I asked you out.

I think we've drunk it.

Another reason.

Well?

I mean, what did he want, pulling all
that stuff out of my fridge?

If he wanted something, I'd have given
him something.

You did?

A sore head?

Well, you saw where his eyes.

I'm not forgetting.

You know how eyes bore through you
sometimes?

I'd recognize them a year from now.

And what about his build?

The average?

I know that's not much help.

But honestly, why me?

I mean, I'm no string chicken.

You were alone.

That's enough for some men.

That's him finished, sir. Okay.

Right, you can go in now.

Do you want to make a list of things
that are missing?

My son would be over like a shot if he
knew about this.

He's in Saudi Arabia.

On an engineering contract.

You should have believed Mary Emery from
the start.

There were circumstances.

Yeah, one of which is you know nothing
about feminine psychology.

So my wife always tells me. It's an
identical pattern.

Entry through a small window, furniture
moved, refrigerated, lights.

It's not Caldwell, it's I'm Sophie of
Bath.

If you think he's a nutter, why don't
you just say he's a nutter?

Look, why would Caldwell come back here?

His parents are dead, he's got no
girlfriend.

Oops.

Oh, maybe he's sleeping rough.

Nobody lives rough and bare then.

Listen to you.

If we believed everything we were told,
we wouldn't be doing our job, and that

includes rape.

It's not fashionable to say so.

I'm not a fashionable man.

I'm not sure.

It's hard to tell from photographs.

It's like...

You know what they say about the eyes
being the windows to the soul?

Well, it's like that.

If you could just stand him in front of
me.

I wish we could do that.

Is that it, then?

I'll be at the library if you need me.

I can't stay off work just because of an
incident like this.

Good for you.

Oh, why do you think so?

He was the brave one coming into my
house.

Yes. It's been said.

If we hadn't wasted valuable time
disbelieving Mary Emery... I don't waste

With respect, I wonder if you truly
appreciate what men are capable of doing

women.

Sergeant Campbell, I may not have been
born into your enchanted sisterhood.

I've got 25 years more experience than
you. I don't intend chucking it away.

It's only me.

Sorry you had to go through it.

There was another.

Aye, but he came off worse.

I hate being in my house now.

I hate everything in it.

Well, I can understand that.

Can you?

It wasn't just my house he wanted.

Well, at least he didn't go through with
it. You can be thankful for that.

It was in his mind.

It's still in his mind. He'll be back.

No.

No, no.

You were chosen at random.

There was nothing personal against you.

I haven't let Bill touch me since it
happened.

Of course, he has his wife.

Maybe it's my punishment.

Who knows?

Look, I want to ask you something.

That musty smell you said he had in his
clothes, Could you describe it further?

It's just... Stale.

Unwashed. What, like he was living
rough?

Could have been.

You know, I used to live near the old
Kirkley line when I was a boy.

Before they closed it down in the 50s.

That was in the days of Steepman.

We all of us need something from our
childhood.

Jim Taggart seems all right.

You know, for a DCI.

Yeah, like a five -car pile -up's all
right.

I mean, we're friendly.

You want to be a detective?

You'd better improve your powers of
observation fast.

Oh, hello.

Yes, I've seen it.

We try to keep our investigations
secret.

This doesn't help.

Oh, don't blame me. I didn't write it.

I just told them what happened.

We'd be grateful if you didn't talk to
anyone about it.

Particularly the press.

Just a minute.

That was my house.

That might have been my life. Yeah, and
supposing this prompts someone to

emulate him.

Glasgow's full of people who like being
hit by cricket bats.

We are asking you.

Okay.

But it's a bad doing the victim has to
apologise.

Hang on a minute.

I've just realised something.

You know... Do you remember I said he
had some kind of a burglary tool in his

hand?

It wasn't a tool. It was a bow.

No, it was.

It was a small one about this size.

Could have been a crossbow.

Oh, maybe.

Are you sure you didn't dream it
afterwards?

You think I went to sleep afterwards?

Annie Gallagher.

Housebreaking.

Same entry and exit technique.

Also putting deer out of season.

With a crossbow.

He's not a rapist, though.

How do you know?

He's an old customer of mine.

Must have stopped him starting. Check
him out.

You think there's any point in it, sir?

These two attacks have happened within a
mile of my house, Jim.

Oh, that'll bring the rateable value
down, eh?

Okay, on your back.

What's wrong?

I don't normally get into relationships
this easily.

Have there been many?

A few.

Married men set in their ways.

I've never been to bed with a woman
before you.

Or a girl.

Or anybody.

Does that excite you?

Yes, of course I do.

What I'd really like to do is spend a
whole night with you.

Wake up.

See you in the morning.

I don't think you'd like it too much.

Will there be a chance?

Any luck, Ernie?

So skilled, Mr. Tiger.

I'll aim and tell you how much time
Bessie went.

I'm teaching the boy.

I'm glad there's something honest for a
change.

What do you see my pair with?

You still on a crossbow?

Crossbow? Nah.

Giving them up.

This is my sport now.

And I've lots of time for it.

Where were you last night at 2 a .m.? I
talked with her wife.

Any witnesses?

Just about some crime.

Why?

Have you had your boys out screwing
warehouses?

They're clean.

Anyway, they got a good enough criminal
education at school.

This is my life now.

Give me time to think.

I've got the error in my ways.

I'd like to have a look at your back.

My back?

Something you wanted to see?

I hope you think so, Nick.

What the

hell is a borderline old stealth
personality

disorder? It means it's capable of
behaving normally and occasionally gets

disruptive.

With this Caldwell out of mind, what
makes you think he isn't?

In the last two attacks, he's done the
run. I think we're dealing with you with

something uncertain.

A Robbie Gannock.

He was in the Territorial Army.

It's good training for creeping around
people's houses without waking anyone.

Lying. Who?

The Sergeant Major in the TA.

Caldwell was in his regiment.

This Lying's a weapons freak.

Guns, swords, crossbows.

That's in Thursday.

Let's check that out in the morning.

We're still on time.

When you're late, don't.

Hans, Dima, come here.

Hans, Dima.

It's a lie.

From the police.

I've always been fascinated by weapons.

Where did you get them all from?

All over.

That was the great thing about being in
the Scots Guards.

You served everywhere else but Scotland.

What's this?

That's a Chinese repeating crossbow.

Do you have any pistol crossbows?

No.

But they're toys, mainly.

Must have some good house security.

You mean electronic gadgets?

They're the best deterrent I know.

Caldwell, the guy... On the run from
Castells.

I know him.

You do?

It was me who caught him stealing money.

Annual camp.

First year I joined the Teddies.

I was responsible for his discharge.

Did he ever train with a crossbow?

Use one?

They have not much use against cruise
missiles.

He'd have had weapons training, though.

Sure.

He would have made a good soldier if he
hadn't gone off the rails.

Have you seen him, Finn?

Once.

He came round and did my garden for me.

Your garden?

This was before Carstairs.

He found out I left near him.

Came round, offered to do my garden for
me.

Said he needed the money.

It wasn't much good, so he just forgot
about it. You trusted him. I trust my

dogs.

I was giving him a chance.

Will there be anything else?

No, that'll be all.

Thanks.

Are they rapiers?

No, they're antique foils.

I used to fence file at university.

Really?

It's my sport.

I'll maybe take you on one day.

I'd like that.

Coffee, sir.

Aye, thanks, mate.

Sit down.

You're the worst part of this job.

Knowing you might have prevented
something.

There are help organisations.

You were just doing your job.

I might have done it too well.

Tiger.

She won't give her name, but she won't
talk to anyone else.

Aye, put her through.

Chief Inspector Tiger.

Miss Watson.

Aye, well, we're not that hard up yet.
No disrespect.

Aye, yes, aye, aye.

Aye, well,

if we need you, we'll be in touch.

Hey, Peter.

Let me read out and thank you. I've got
enough problems with one claim in my

heart.

I don't know why you like coming here.

I like being stared at.

There's no way I can't have you.

I haven't given up trying.

I wouldn't want you to.

That's what makes us rich.

A drink? Yeah.

Wine with larders and a large vodka.

Oh, and a dry white wine.

Let's get carried on. Get pissed in your
room tonight.

Sorry, I'm in trouble.

Oh, Horrigan.

You ought to try going with a woman
sometimes.

Oh, I do.

I just don't like it.

Diane, Diane.

Hello. Hi.

That was well -timed, wasn't it?

Why here?

I want people to look at us.

You have some strange ideas.

Not nervous, are you?

Of course not.

I should, I do.

If you please to know, some of them call
the boats to the lake.

Good. Was he in one of them?

Don't be horrible.

The guy over there has been staring at
me since I came in.

He might go away.

Here, I've got something for you.

You don't have to buy things to keep.

It's unusual.

Who is she?

Mrs. Bruce.

She's a doctor. Well, lost your path.

I came round to look for a cat because I
normally feed it.

One of her windows is broken and her
car's still there.

What are you waiting for?

Mrs. Bruce?

Anybody here?

Haven't checked upstairs yet.

Multiple injuries to the eyes and
throat.

What made them?

Something long, thin, rounded with a
sharp point.

And a crossbow bolt?

Yes, but used for stabbing repeatedly.

You have a sexual psychopath.

Why the eyes?

Windows to the soul.

Destroy the eyes, you destroy the
person.

Husbands in the funeral notes.

Who could do that to someone?

Then go home and sleep.

Am I supposed to identify her hand?

Can you identify the ring?

I'd recognize her face better.

Oh, no.

We don't think that's a very good idea.

She was pretty badly disfigured.

Do you want an identification or not?

On you go.

God bless you all.

The boys stay here. The girls can go and
get some lemonade.

Lemonade?

We led separate lives.

Her practice took up most of her time.

Where did you stay last night?

The Royal Hotel, Edinburgh.

Shareholder's meeting.

It was too late to drive home.

I phoned Anne about 11 o 'clock and told
her.

Was she alone?

Of course.

Did you ever mention any patient who
showed a new attention?

She never spoke about them.

There's not much else I can tell you.

That's all right. We've got plenty of
time.

I suppose it is the same fella who
attacked those other two women.

The crimes are linked, yes.

If it helps, there's a £10 ,000 reward
for whoever supplies the information

leads to his arrest.

Thanks.

I didn't know you liked children so
much.

And when you're adopted, you think of
the love you've never had.

Adoptive parents love you, though, don't
they?

They can never be your real parents,
though, can they?

Both not.

I had an uncle.

He'd left us money and trust for it.

But I only get it when I graduate.

It was a way of making me come to
university.

A very good way.

So, you see, we could go away together.

I'd have enough to look after you.

How much?

About 60 ,000.

I'm married. I have responsibilities.

You don't have any children.

Kevin's like a child.

He needs me. I couldn't hurt him.

So why did you never have children?

Kevin can't do it.

Never has been able to.

And yet you leave my bed to go home to
his.

You have to understand adult
relationships.

I'm trying very hard to have one with
you.

I'm having a dance social tonight. Why
don't you come?

Don't change the subject.

I want people to see us together.

I suppose he turns up.

Very rarely does.

All his work is football coaching.

Why don't we do it right here?

That would make the dead turn.

Hello, Ernie.

What's this?

Search warrant.

Search for what?

To be looking the van for.

Something fishy about me?

He'll be here tonight.

Good.

I still see he's hiding something.

Oh, Ernie will always be hiding things.

It's in his nature.

Down by the river.

I think he sent his son to get rid of
something.

Bestie. Whatever that is.

Probably mother -in -law.

Not quite my scene.

Good idea, these socials, kid.

Life's not all good.

Oh, I disagree.

Or the sailor who falls out of boats.

Another lag of rhyme.

How is your occupation?

I'm a student.

Aren't we all? Of life.

Politics and philosophy.

What are you going to be? A politician
or a philosopher?

I haven't decided.

That's why I'm at university.

If you ask me, there's too many of both.

What this country needs is more dancing
teachers like him. Here you are, Brian.

Why don't you go over and talk to Morag?
She's looking very lonely over there.

Just ignore him.

Are we going to get any time for
ourselves?

Of course we will.

It's really good around here, isn't it?

It's like a talisman.

And I hope it brings me joy.

Can I buy you a drink?

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd come and have a dance with
my wife.

I'm walking home after this.

I thought you were busy.

Go ahead, I'm finished.

Two brandies, please.

That boy was wearing one of my armlets.

Must have got it in Mason's now, Gatsby.
They've taken a hundred to sell.

By the way, where's that one I gave you?

Didn't go in the other way.

There you go.

Chief Inspector, I owe you an apology.

Oh?

A while ago, I said some things.

I didn't know then.

About your wife.

What about my wife?

About her? Well, she's an invalid.

Is that such a hard word to say?

Sorry, yeah.

Can I buy you a drink?

No, thanks.

I'm just going.

Something I said.

What did you find out about Bruce?

He stayed in Edinburgh, right?

With his secretary, Miss... Carol
Marshall.

Separate rooms.

Colleagues say he'd talked about getting
a divorce from his wife, but she

refused.

Oh?

If you ask me, Caldwell's still our man.

On the run for three weeks.

Somebody's protecting him.

Who?

Sergeant Major Lang.

What makes you think that?

He was responsible for Caldwell getting
dismissed from the army.

Then he employs him as a gardener.

Chief Inspector will give you a few
minutes. Oh, thanks very much.

That's all I want.

Come in.

Sir, I've got Mr. Watson, the medium, to
see you. You what?

I realise you're very busy.

Who is that?

Sylvana Watson, the medium.

I've tried to talk to you three times.

It's easier getting through to the dead,
believe me.

What can I do for you?

I was hoping it could be the other way
round.

There's my card.

I'm a professional psychic medium.

I've helped a number of police forces
trace missing persons.

Humberside, North Wales, Yorkshire.

Sylvana?

Is that your professional name?

No, no.

My father was Italian.

My mother a Shetlander.

I've been reading about your escapee
from Carstairs committing all those

terrible crimes.

I thought if I could hold something that
belonged to him or study some of those

crime scene photos, I might be able to
tell you his whereabouts.

That simple?

No, I wouldn't say simple.

Well, I've never had any experience of
your line of work.

What have you got to lose?

A few minutes of your time, and you've
been searching for him now for three

weeks.

There's one very strong feeling I get.

His eyes are very important.

Eyes? Yes.

They somehow matter to this case.

Very strongly.

You see what's about to happen?

Where can I find Sergeant Major Lang?

Thanks.

There's no water.

Hello again.

You won't remember me.

Caldwell, four years ago.

Yeah, Chief Inspector Tagle.

You had another young man with you then.

They left the port.

Damn.

Well, you need to ask me who you've come
about.

Well, we know Caldwell was back in
Glasgow.

We don't know why.

You see, he has no family or friends
except maybe you.

Why me?

You were responsible for his discharge
from the Terrys.

A year later, he's working in your
garden.

We figured he might look up to you as
some sort of father.

Someday he could... You know, give him a
chance.

Why would I protect him?

I'd tell you if he'd got in touch.

When Caldwell came to visit you, did he
show any interest in your crossbow

collection?

No more than most people.

Did he ever use one?

No.

Did you ever pick one up?

Play with it.

He may have held one.

I can't remember.

Very trusting.

The guy that's been caught stealing, you
take him into your house.

Let him look at your collection.

We all have our foolhardy moments.

That be all.

Who looks after your dogs when you're
away on these weekends?

My neighbours.

I have good neighbours.

I have someone coming through who was
involved in an accident.

I think it was something to do with a
car or a cycle.

I have a name, Stuart or Ewart, a
surname maybe.

Nobody know a Stuart?

Well, he definitely knows somebody here.

Someone down in this area?

No?

It's very faint. I'm maybe not getting
his name correctly.

I will come back to him.

I have a mother here.

I think she belongs to you, dear.

I have a very strong smell of gardenia.
Did she by any chance like gardenias?

No.

And now she's asking about somebody
called John.

Or it could be Joan.

No?

Well, she's definitely asking about
somebody with a name like that.

It could be Jim. Do you have a Jim?

He's on this side. He's not on the
other.

I have this feeling he's very close to
you.

So, he's into spiritualism.

More like male menopause.

I know dozens like him.

What are you doing tonight?

Washing my hair.

Tomorrow night.

help defend Scrooge? I'm not that
dangerous.

Sergeant Livingston.

I've got someone we should see. Mr.

Wallet. The sort of guy practising with
a crossbow in Gus Gardenwood.

Would you like a cup of tea?

No. So you've come to check up on me,
then?

Ah, you can see that. Well, you picked
the wrong day.

The messages were rather vague. Well,
sometimes the lines get crossed.

Listen, do they really come through from
the other side?

Well, sometimes they come from this
side.

You're still not convinced.

Well, you have to admit, if you tell an
old lady you're in contact with her

mother, it's a fairly safe bet.

Well, some people need hope more than
they need proof.

When you were in my office, you
mentioned something about eyes.

I did, yes.

Are you aware we have a witness who says
that she can identify the murderer by

his eyes?

No. I know nothing about the case other
than what I've read about in the papers.

Well, she talked to the papers quite a
lot. More than we wanted her to.

And she did mention his eyes.

Well, I didn't read about that.

Listen, Miss Watson.

If you can tell me one thing about this
case, which only I know, I'll start to

take you seriously.

You either believe or you don't.

Oh, yeah.

By the way, for what it's worth, my
mother liked gardenia.

I think it was about here.

Do you know which tree?

Pardon? Which tree was he practicing
against?

Oh, I'm not sure. It could have been
further on or...

Over the other side.

It was about four weeks ago.

And you can't describe him?

Sorry? What did he look like?

Ah, my eyes, they're not what they were,
you know.

I couldn't tell you that.

But he'd on one of those green
camouflage things, you know, jackets.

You're sure it was a crossbow?

My grandson had one. Used to practice in
the garden.

Oh, I know what a crossbow sounds like.

Paul Fraser.

FAS alarm and security services.

Who are you?

Your wife did.

Jean.

Jean.

What's going on here?

You weren't going to do anything about
it, so I got in a firm of wood.

But we've got a guy down at the station
that advises on home security.

Then why didn't you bring him home?

I'm the one with you most of the day, on
my own.

Mr Fraser's here to give us a quotation,
that's all.

All right, quote.

For a simple alarm.

Magic eye, back and front door and
central hallway.

Seismatic sensor to pick up vibration in
windows.

Panic button in bedroom, digital
communicator. You're talking 700?

What do you think this is?

Ockenham Palace.

Small price to pay with this character
of a... Do you know who I am?

Of course he knows.

If I may be blunt, sir.

For a police officer's home, yours is
very vulnerable.

And so is your wife.

Is your business doing well, Mr Fraser?

Especially now, yes.

And they say crime doesn't pay.

The animals, other than man, live by
appearances and memories and have but

little of connected experience.

But the human race...

lives also by art and reasonings.

Irma, it's our coffee.

Alan, what do you think separates man
from the base of animals?

Uh, moral sense.

Can you be more precise?

Um, religious upbringing.

The things we're taught.

You can say anything.

Patrick,

what do you think?

Pardon?

Do you think that's enough?

What about the psychopath?

He doesn't feel guilt.

He has no moral sense.

Yet he's still human.

So how do you define human?

I'd say it's the ability to feel
yourself to be God.

Patrick, please.

You've nothing to say. I couldn't help
what happened.

Who is more important to you?

I'm married to Kevin.

Then why are you with me? I love you.

It's such fun. Why spoil it?

Fun? Is that all?

More than that.

All I want is the right to be with you.

Proper relationship.

Like other people.

You have it.

You didn't know she was living with us.

No, sir.

Bruce was low on her list.

His secretary moved in the day after Dr.
Bruce was murdered.

Who supplied this information?

My wife.

I should have her working here. I'd find
out more.

Well, that's not all.

He's just rung in to say he's off to the
States for a month, tonight.

With his secretary?

Wouldn't surprise me.

Two decoy attacks, and his wife is
murdered.

I know one way to find out. Come on.

Where's Jordan?

I've put him on to studying botany, sir.

You made me jump.

Good job you haven't got a cricket bat.

Just filling the border.

Listen, do you still think you could
identify your attacker by his eyes?

Have you got him?

Don't know.

I want to come down to the station and
see if you can help us.

Just get cleaned up and be right with
you.

Couldn't you have asked me some
questions at home? I'm flying in four

Business trip, what pleasure.

mainly business.

Shield Electronics are looking for some
American investment.

That's why Miss Marshall's coming with
me.

That's why her team with me. You people
have heard the companion ship.

Not our concern.

Some people's.

Those have nothing better to think
about.

Here we are.

Of course, my second cousin was a
policeman.

Well, he was a footballer first, then he
was a policeman.

Jimmy McGavin, do you know him?

Excuse me. What?

No, you stay here. All right.

We'll catch you.

Bad luck.

How do you get the key in the lock?

I put it in your locker.

It's a mortise.

Why?

Isn't it obvious?

You don't think the bomber's going to
come here, do you?

Don't touch that!

You're the one that's touchy.

What kept you tonight?

I was just talking.

To that wee boy, maybe?

Did somebody drive you home?

Don't be silly. What do you think that
is?

Somebody wants to follow me in their
car.

Thank God for that.

What are

you

doing? Making this place secure.

You don't have to go that far.

Wow.

Hello? FAS security services.

Police believe that Mr. Lovett died as a
result of trying to protect his

daughter, who's being treated for shock.

While they're not revealing details of
the attack, they do say that pistol

crossbow was used and that the man,
who's become known as the Glasgow

could strike again at any time. People
living in this area urge to ensure all

doors and windows are closed, especially
at night, and to be especially vigilant

if living alone.

The police have not yet stated whether
the series of attacks and two murders

connected at all with Martin Caldwell,
the 29 -year -old... Tell somebody else.

...who escaped from far stairs a month
ago.

They're after you again. No doubt.

Well, she won't complain.

Why? Oh, a young detective?

Hmm.

Forgotten all about him.

Yes.

Yes, we do sell the state.

So it's odds on if it was bought in
Glasgow, it was bought here.

We are the only stockists in Glasgow.

And you can't remember any of the people
that might have come in to buy it?

The faces.

Couldn't put names to them.

Can you remember anybody that smelled?

What do you mean, BO?

No, you know, stale, unwashed.

Oh, sorry.

Do you remember anybody whose eyes stood
out? A bit of a weirdo. Might have

bothered you.

Have you had something less vague?

I'm afraid the witnesses are vague.

No wonder there's a panic, if that's all
you have to go on.

Listen, I've no right to ask you this,
but would you mind not selling any more

of these things till I've caught them?

I don't want Ned running the book
playing Rambo.

And who'll reimburse me?

I'm relying on your public spirit.

This is my business.

And I can think of a dozen ways to make
it hard for you to run.

He's never here at the beginning of the
week.

He goes to his sister in Linlithgow.

I just come up to feed the dogs.

It's all right.

Doug's like me.

The secret is not being afraid.

Found anything?

Aye. Trees.

I dreamt about them last night.

I'm glad you slept.

If this job's so important, why don't
you put a team on to it?

It's a long shot.

Hate to see good manpower wasted.

Supposing I do find bolt holes in some
tree?

What's it going to prove?

Maybe nothing.

Then that's what good detective work's
all about.

Yes.

He doesn't like people touching those.

Who's people?

I thought we were friends.

You'd mind.

So, you're the Phantom Bowman. I use it
for target practice.

Find me a target.

A behavioral psychologist.

To back up Cobble, psychiatrist, yes.

Very fashionable in America.

We're not in America.

We're the same in places like this.
That's right, Jim.

We cut our teeth on a very different
kind of crime.

Society's changed. Now we have the
random killer, the thrill killer.

We have to listen to psychiatrists. I
might have to listen to them in court.

other place.

It's better than a crystal ball.

I still don't believe it's Cobble. No, I
don't, sir. Everything points to him.

Look. What is this?

I arrested Caldwell in the first place.

He came like a lamb. He said he needed
help. That was a boy in trouble, not a

thief.

And that's not psychology, that's
instinct.

For once, Jim, I think yours is wrong.

You're gonna need a cigarette.

I wish I could always be with you.

There is a way.

I can't.

You can't leave him, yet you want to be
with me.

You'd better make your mind up.

Don't push me. Like I said, there's a
way.

Tell me.

We arranged for him to leave us.

Permanently.

I could do it.

Murder someone.

I've always wondered what it would feel
like afterwards.

I got this idea today. It's crazy. Do
you want to hear it?

What are you going to tell me anyway?

We make it look as though the bowman did
it.

We copy his method.

You was me thinking you were superior to
most boys your age.

I am.

You never taught a teacher in philosophy
that murder's wrong.

It's not society's judgment that's
important.

It's the individual's own choice of will
and intellect.

That's funny.

I'm being serious.

I never heard of that lager.

It's a specialist import.

It's brewed in the Far East.

London suppliers send it to only one pub
in Glasgow.

Those bar.

It's a queers bar.

Each to his own.

Is there women here?

Gays don't necessarily hate women.

All right, you two.

Get down to that bar. Hang about a bit.

Hey.

Try not to look like policemen, eh?

Everyone thinks it'll never happen to
them. You're not alone.

We're working round the clock, so if you
decide to go ahead, we could start work

next Wednesday.

Oh, Kim.

Kim, hang on a minute. Here.

This is Mr. Fraser, FAS Security
Services.

Totally unnecessary.

Obviously, I'm going to have to talk it
over.

I understand.

But I'll pop round tomorrow.

Do that.

I'm doing it for you. It's too
expensive.

And what if he picks this house next?

Follows you home like someone did the
other night?

Some people find me attractive.

Oh, I suppose you'd like that.

Maybe I want him to break in here.

You wouldn't be much help. You'd run and
hide.

Look, Kim, there are some things I can't
do for you.

It's not my fault.

I wish things were different.

In some ways, I envy him.

He could teach you a thing or two.

That's the last time you do that.

What now?

Keep an eye on who drinks those.

Cannabinoids.

I know where they live, what they do.

Cannabinoids.

I'll see you when I come chatting them
up.

Yeah.

You're going to be here.

I'm afraid not.

Look at this one. What's it doing?

We've got experience for you.

What if they don't want to know me?

They will.

Thank you for your letter.

Well, I hope I didn't waste your time.

Where did you get this information about
my dad?

He gave it to me.

He thought you would listen to me. He
wants you to solve this case.

Our friends and relatives do try and
help from the other side.

Well... He did work in the trams.

He had an accident that prevented him
from working.

But how did you know about Glencoe?

Was I accurate?

Well, my old man always said it didn't
become a man to be seen crying.

Only saw him crying once, and that was
at Glencoe.

Sometimes I even surprised myself.

Here are some photos of the last attack.

Will they do?

Well, shall we see?

I see a man.

He watches.

He waits and stakes out his victims.

Always I come back to his eyes.

He has something to do with education.

Perhaps a university.

Hello?

Who's there?

I love you.

Kim!

You're going to die.

Don't do that.

I need you too much.

Thank me.

That wouldn't be a very nice thing to
do, would it?

You've been crying.

No. I've had some thought.

The police always keep information back.

Stuff they don't release about a crime.

Lucky I kept Rick.

I don't understand.

She was the Bowman's second victim.

He broke into her house.

They're here.

He worked at the Woodvale Library.

Oh.

Bo, if she can talk to the press, she
can talk to us.

Or you.

Luke, why do we just drop all this?
We're not getting anywhere. Look, we've

to make this look like the Bowman's
work, right down to the last defect.

Kevin's getting an alarm system for him.
Security beats everything.

Then we've got to do it soon.

He's doing it for me.

Fit you on Tuesday, then.

Glad you managed to persuade your wife.
I'll lay you into secret.

I haven't.

Not bad.

I'm a bit rusty.

You're fit.

Tennis karate.

They must, boss.

Pleased to hear it.

How's the hunt for Caldwell doing,
Peter?

I still think someone's protecting him.

Your chief inspector's a suspicious man,
sinking eye to half of them.

Is he all there?

Most of the time.

You're married?

So?

Difficult in the police force, do you?

Not especially.

People like you and me in sensitive
positions, it can be.

Shouldn't be that way, I know.

We go to the same bar, don't we?

What bar's that?

I think you've got the wrong idea about
me. Oh, I don't.

Unless I'm not your type.

And I can't believe that.

I've got to go.

Thanks for the pencil.

Yes, sir. Sorry.

Come

on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

There's only one Glasgow Bowman.

There's only one Glasgow Bowman.

Who made that? I did.

Get it on me.

Who says?

I say, unmake it now.

Just watch yourself. Do not take me
three hours.

What are you doing? Trying to make him
some kind of hero?

What if his next victim is your
girlfriend, your sister or your mother?

There's only one Glasgow Bowman.

There's only one Glasgow Bowman.

There's only one Glasgow Bowman.

If it's genuine, I'm going to print it.
Not yet.

But he's denying he's a bowman.

I'll give him a flat for him.

It's the biggest thing since manual.

You know what I'd like for one? Seeing
how they ought to work. I'd like to see

my name in the headlines, not his.

Well, catch him.

And that's a promise.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Post office dates, times, always have a
name.

And wood.

And wood?

Thornwood.

You okay?

Oh, don't all crowd round her.

Oh, let her breathe.

You all right, dear? I'm sorry.

Can you get up?

Oh, look, you come with me.

I'll make you a nice cup of tea.

It's very hot in here.

Thank you.

I've just got to open my mind. What's
the worry?

You've come to the right person.

I've had more worries than this place
has.

Kierkegaard asks, is there a science of
morals?

He states, in ethical life I am just an
observer judging actions.

To an extent I am almost a shadow of a
human without concrete individuality.

here he introduces the notion of
concreteness.

I am lost in sensations or in rules.

Only

In religion do I become a real person.

A concrete individual.

Just relax.

I'll pour the tea.

And then you can tell me what's
bothering you.

It's this man.

The normal of the court of everything.

The bowman.

If you knew about some of the men in my
life... Did you say the bowman?

I'm just so scared it might happen to
me.

Do you know...

You've come to the right person.

Do you recognise anyone?

I was his second victim.

His first committed suicide.

He murdered his third.

I suppose I'm proof you've nothing to
worry about.

Tell me about it.

Come on, in your state.

It's better to know.

I'll tell you something. He'll rue the
day he picked on me.

What did he look like?

It was his eyes that stood out.

Just staring at me.

His clothes smelt kind of stale.

Did you take milk and sugar?

Just milk, please.

You see, the army training.

That's how he can creep about without
being heard or seen.

What kind of things did he do?

Raided my kitchen.

Opened a tin of beans, would you
believe?

shifted all my furniture about, put into
the windows and doors.

These men get a sexual thrill out of
breaking into houses.

Oh, heavens, you are nervous.

You were saying...

Good dogs.

Good dogs.

Yes. You remember me, don't you?

Posting the thorn wood.

Green dust on the envelope.

Except for two and two made four.

How long has the granary been closed?

Three years now, Peter.

Part of somebody's overall plan.

I hope you're right.

Sir!

Where are you going?

Coming with you.

Oh, no.

I was on my own the first time I
arrested him.

I'll do the same now.

And if he is the woman?

I'll shout.

Amen.

Hello, Martin.

Mr. Taggart?

How did you find me?

You wanted to be found, Martin.

Otherwise, you'd never have shoved that
letter across that post office desk.

I've done nothing.

Some people think differently.

Suppose I stay here, and only we know.

You can tell them.

You can tell them I'm safe.

I got out to prove I'm cured.

I can live like anybody else.

I know it doesn't look much here, but
given time, I can prove I'm safe.

I don't need that place.

Not anymore.

Martin, you still need treatment.

Five more years.

They won't let me out.

Not ever.

I'll be like them.

Here, I have a chance.

What?

Here?

Living like an animal?

Who would that prove?

No, you come along with me quietly.

You're worth more than living here for a
year.

You're going to give us that?

You tell them.

Oh, I tell them.

Good morning.

Where is he?

Upstairs in bed.

You know what to do.

nothing you can do.

It's done.

You're free of him.

Cupboards!

You said he bought one of those for me.

He engraved them.

You liar!

wearing something he made!

Someone's right here.

You, with me.

There's only one room to my son.

Peter, I'm here.

It seemed all right.

You OK?

Eh? Oh, just tired.

Old Nate at Lewis Barn knew this.

He said it was going to be a nine -to
-five job.

Another 36 hours, then you'll get some
sleep.

This maniac certainly has no respect for
our beauty sleep, Jim.

Oh, I think you and me are past needing
that.

He was still warm when we found him.

No sign of a bolt.

Not on this one. Not yet.

Well, the injury's consistent with one.

Entry and exit wound.

Probably penetrating the jugular,
causing air embolism.

Would he have died immediately?

Not necessarily.

He could have clung on for up to an
hour.

Curiously, there's some sort of
congestion in the mouth that I'd

with asphyxia.

Well, our man certainly likes baked
beans.

He's opened a tin in every house he's
been into so far.

It was his eyes.

They stared right through me.

He wore this mask made of leather.

Army clothes.

Uniform?

Camouflage.

Dark greens, trousers and jacket.

Smells as if they hadn't been washed.

You see, he attacked Kevin in the
bedroom.

Yes.

Kevin tried to fight him off.

And then he came after me.

Brought my knee up like they say you
should.

He ran away in pain out the bathroom
window.

Must have been how he got in.

In a phone tune.

Do you recognise these keys?

No.

They were found beside the bed.

They must be for the old lock.

The front door.

Kevin had them changed because of this
man.

There's something else.

Somebody followed me home on Friday
night.

Did you see who?

No.

It was a coffin that drove off. It was
too dark.

Faster than it.

Any admirers in your dancing school?

There is one man.

He can't, really.

Who's he mean?

Brian Hawke.

I thought you were after this man,
Colin.

I beware.

But, eh, last night, he was in custody.

You're too late.

What's on your mind?

I don't quite believe her.

I'm not sure why.

I thought it was the policy of the unit
to believe every victim of rape or

attempt to rape. That's it?

And you don't believe this one?

Well, well.

I'm glad it amuses you.

This guy turned up.

Redmond was due to have his house made
secure.

Nice timing.

This fellow was a flashy.

A lot of gold jewellery.

Yeah.

He was at my house.

I hear he's a bit of a cowboy.

Listen, you keep the surveillance in
Lowe's Bar.

Mate, you come with me.

Fancy hanging around a gay bar with me?

To hold your hand?

If it would make you feel better.

Well, you'd hardly be undercover with me
there.

That could come later.

For the last time, I don't know where it
is. I came up and fed the dogs last

night, but I couldn't get in because I'd
lost the key.

Your pistol crossbow's missing as well.
Oh, that's back in my room.

Look, I've only ever used my own. In the
garden or up in Gascadon Wood.

Get the police if it's been stolen.

You haven't brought anybody else back to
the house.

Just Patrick.

Patrick? Who's Patrick?

Just a friend from university.

He's straight.

Don't get me it. Look, I'm not lying to
you. I've never lied to you.

You think I do?

Fine. See ya.

Do you always drink that stuff?

I like it.

I'm Pete.

I'm in.

On your lunch break?

No, I'm a student.

Can I see your paper?

Sure.

See, they caught that Coldwell guy last
night.

He says he's not the woman. Of course he
would.

And you?

I suppose there must be a lot of
crossbows in Glasgow.

Must there?

I'm in Glasgow for three days. Yes. Are
you trying to pick me up?

No. No, I don't.

Excuse me, Bob.

Sorry.

Just had a row with someone.

Can I get you a drink?

Yeah. Thanks, sir.

What's that stuff like?

Buy some.

came to save them soon.

If it's Kimmy once he's knowing you, I'd
be merely to warn you.

Want me something?

There'd be no jiff.

But it's you we're wanting, Mr. Long.

How do you know my name?

Mrs. Redmond told us you'd be here.

Olive, did you follow her home on Friday
night?

What, has she been complaining about me
or something?

Why would she?

Where is Kim?

Oh, well, you won't see her today. Your
dancing lessons are cancelled.

All right, so I didn't follow her home.

But still what?

We're all one bloody many.

She teaches you dancing.

Why didn't you just ask her out?

Like any normal man.

What's normal?

Kim's a sport, she'll understand.

She likes men to be attracted to. Fatly
encourages it.

Why won't she be in?

Well, because her husband was murdered
last night.

So this guy has got access to Lang's
crossbows.

He wears army gear.

Did you manage to find out anything
else?

It was embarrassing enough when Lang
walked in.

I'd like him to fly in that one.

I'd have thwarted you.

Where's Alan McMasters?

What does he do?

He's a student at Glasgow University.

Was that right?

Let's have him in.

I think I'd like to put him in an ID
parade.

We haven't got enough evidence for that.

I do.

Look, what's he supposed to have done?

This is a different book.

No.

So it's suddenly aged 60 years.

Look, he's never touched any of these.

How can you be sure of that? Because he
has his own.

What are you doing here?

I had to find you.

We shouldn't be seen together.

He's dead.

Look, people will be here soon. It's my
tutorial.

You can't make plans.

Not now.

A week, maybe a month. I don't know.

But we can't be seen together. Not for a
while.

I've never been like this before.

What's it for?

What's it all for if we can't be
together?

What was it for?

Does murder have to be for anything?

It was a challenge.

Patrick, if you must keep assignations,
I'd rather you didn't use my room.

Now, don't worry.

All we want you to do is look his eyes.

I'll do my best.

Contact lenses.

Maybe a trial.

Do you recognise any member of the
parade referred to by you in your

No.

Sorry.

I've let you down.

Mr. McMaster, before they bring in the
next witness, you can alter your

position.

Bring in the next witness.

Do you recognise any member of the
parade referred to by you in your

I think it could be number three.

Right, you can take your mask off.

But wait there until the witnesses have
gone.

Right, you're off the hook.

For now.

I've really got to speak to him before
he lets me away.

Mrs Rayburn has an admission.

I didn't want to let you down.

The truth is I couldn't see properly
downstairs.

You should ask him to move forward.

Don't you wear glasses?

I'm wearing my contact lenses.

Vanity, I suppose.

It's the first time in a month.

Can I see them?

No, no, can you take them out?

You see, I thought I'd lost the right
one, but I found it when I was hoovering

the chairs in the living room, but I
can't be out of it properly.

They're different tents.

You're talking about hoovering round the
chair.

Then when you hit the fellow with the
cricket bat, was he standing by that

chair?

That's your next question.

Who would have thought they could just
look at it and say, I don't know, when

I? Just hope he is local.

Don't drop it.

Do you think I'm stupid?

It's Annie Gallagher.

Yep.

Watch it slipping.

You alright?

Yeah.

Betty. Hmm?

I'm dead.

I'm a stranger.

What's going on? I want the key to
John's house and the crossbow. I don't

what you're talking about.

I've just been on an ID parade.

I recognised the wife of the latest
victim.

It was her, your dancer.

And you think I had something to do with
it?

When I last had that key, you were
sitting next to me in the tutorial room.

OK.

So what are you going to do about it?

Did you tell the police anything?

No.

Good.

Then you still are my friend after all.

I want to know where that crossbow is.

I don't have it here.

It's hidden.

I want it, Patrick.

You're in a strong position.

You could have anything of me you
wanted.

And you've always wanted me, haven't
you?

Well, now's your chance.

Why don't you demand it?

Too much decency.

It's under the Kingston Bridge.

You two wait here.

What?

What?

Up to your old tricks, Ernie.

At least it's no people.

You go with them. You're smelling to
hide, though.

Peter.

Traced that lens yet?

No, not yet.

Come on, let's get on with this case.

Well, as you know, contact lenses are
like fingerprints.

No two alike.

No, I didn't know that.

It's well established.

I'm surprised more criminals aren't
caught through losing them.

That is use.

Oh, yes.

I don't remember him coming in for a
replacement.

Three weeks ago.

There's your man.

What's he want?

He happened to have contact with him,
didn't he?

Yes.

He's obsessed with perfection, either.
Or after.

Then him.

I don't know. I never interviewed with
Geddeson. You might if you looked.

You got a key.

He had no idea?

Couldn't be.

He was impotent.

Maybe that's how he got his extra
thrill.
