All language subtitles for Taggart s09e03.Death Without Dishonour

With Allied air superiority established,
British troops were able to continue

their relentless push forwards towards
Kuwait City.

Early reports suggest that Iraqi Grand
Forces have taken a terrible pounding,

especially on the road to Basra out of
Kuwait City itself.

As Iraqi forces made their last
desperate escape with anything they

They find themselves ambushed on the
main highway.

With 120 tanks being destroyed and the
surrender of over 20 ,000 POWs, this has

put extra strain on the already over...
How's Nick?

It's quiet enough for a first night.

She's on her way to pick someone up in
Condonis Road.

She'd be fine.

Her father's daughter.

There's no doubt about that.

Should be okay.

What's going on here?

Nicky! Nicky!

But when I'm with you, I know that I'm
free. For Christ's sake,

do something!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We've got a message now for a very
special young girl out there who's been

having a real bad time.

She's been in hospital now for almost
two years.

But I know you're going to pull through,
kid, so... Nicky O'Donnell, me and the

boys would like to dedicate this next
number especially to you.

So stick with it, kid.

We all miss you very much.

God bless.

We hope to see you back at the Grand Old
Opry very soon.

I don't know how to thank you for the
celebration meal, Mrs Taggart. Jean.

Aye, Jean. Why not, Mum?

And Dad?

You're almost family.

He's not family.

Dad? In my book, family means being
married.

Anyway, I thought this dinner was to
celebrate the opening of your wine bar

tomorrow night, not to live in in bloody
sin.

He's under a lot of strain at the
moment.

Look what you've made me do now.

I've never been more embarrassed in my
life.

Jean, I can't approve.

What are you trying to do? Break up the
family?

You spoiled a wonderful meal.

I'll never forgive you for that.

Look, I don't think it's about us living
together.

I think he just doesn't like me, period.

It's been the same with everyone I've
brought home.

Dad's expectations for his little girl
didn't include running a wine bar.

The things I'm wasting my life, that's
what it's all about.

I'm sorry, Matt.

You must think we're... No, no.

Jim has a lot on his mind.

He's responsible for protecting
witnesses in that damn taxicab trial.

I understand. You don't have to explain.

Night, Mum.

We're off back to the flat.

See you tomorrow night, then, Dad.

Bye.

See you tomorrow.

Mr. Strachan, your minicab business was
profitable and expanding.

Isn't that what you said?

Aye.

I was doing okay.

Until O'Donnell tried to muscle in.

Aye.

Not by conventional methods, but by
intimidation and violence, which

serious injury to yourself and a number
of your employees.

My lord, I strongly object.

My learned friend is leading.

We've had no direct evidence that the
accused was in any way responsible for

those attacks.

My Lord, the indictment libels two
charges of attempted murder of Mr

and we've already heard evidence from
this witness. I am merely seeking

clarification.

Objection repelled.

Please carry on, Miss Duncan, but do not
lead the witness.

You say this cab war had got out of
hand, and you, Mr Strachan,

came off worse in this violent tit -for
-tat.

My daughter has been fighting for her
life in hospital for two years, and you

say I came off bestier? It was an
accident. Order!

Please calm down, Mr Strachan. It's in
your own interest. I never started this.

The only thing I'm guilty of is
dissolving the partnership and starting

own. You will refrain from these
outbursts.

This is not the first time that I have
warned you both.

If you persist in this, Mr. O'Donnell,
we shall proceed in the trial without

you, and you, Mr. Strachan, will find
yourself in contempt of court.

Do I make myself clear?

Mr Strachan, there is a recent scar you
have on your face.

Would you tell the court how you got it?

Where would you like me to start?

From the beginning.

I put the day's takings into a leather
pouch.

What time was this?

Around midnight, I suppose.

Just before.

And how much did the takings come to?

The exact amount.

Yes, the exact amount, Mr Strachan.

£900 .32.

Please tell the court what happened
next.

I left the office, locked up, and walked
to my car.

Go on, Mr Strachan.

Three masked men appeared.

They appeared to come from nowhere.

Two of them held me from behind.

The other...

Slashed me across the face with a knife.

He then lunged at my body.

Would you show the jury your other
scars, Mr Strachan?

They left you for dead.

Aye.

They're dead.

And was there a next time?

Two weeks later.

Somebody tried to burn down my house
while my son Tony and I were asleep.

You may button up your shirt, Mr.
Strachan.

Just stop straight.

That goes into the corner.

Hello? Can I help you?

The car park.

Tonight. Eight o 'clock.

Don't be late.

Gunfight at the OK Corral?

Cut a few shotgun pellets. Nothing
serious, thank God.

Got a good description from one of the
drivers.

He's sure the guy's not local.

Any vehicle?

Blackfeet people. That was seen driving
away.

No registration number, but there was
one stolen a week ago from Cathcart.

What we have to bear in mind is, for
security reasons, that if this trial

on for another week... It won't, sir.

Aye, well, the last time you told me
that, Brian, I missed the Rangers match.

I'll never forgive you for it.

That was a different sort of trial, Jim.
We had a lot of surprises sprung on us.

What do you call shooting up Strachan's
office?

Surely O'Donnell wouldn't be such a mug
as to try this kind of intimidation now.

In the middle of the trial?

I believe Strachan was responsible for
Nicky's accident.

He's not going to let up now, sir.

I would have thought that excuse was
wearing a bit thin.

Come.

If O'Donnell goes down, sir, it paves
the way for Strachan to take over his

territory.

That's what this is all about.

Yes, Jackie.

The vehicle that was used in the attack
at Strachan's office.

It's been found in some waste ground.

It's been burnt out, sir.

He was tall, very tall, wore a long coat
and boots.

You mentioned his eyes.

Aye, cold, daring, a right nutter.

Alan, can you do the knee fit really
quickly?

Tall, dark, stranger, cold, searing
eyes.

A right nutter.

I'll do my bit.

Excuse me.

Sorry, we're closed.

Oh, hell.

I could do with about eight pairs of
hands.

Let me help.

That's very kind of you.

You're Australian, aren't you?

You're not going to hold that against
me, are you?

Your place.

Boyfriend and I. We're partnered.

When do you open?

Oh, tonight, hopefully.

Bill. Bill Hamilton.

Alison Tykes. Alison.

Alison. Oh, Matt, let me introduce you
to Bill. I've got a hundred things, my

man. I haven't got time to be sociable.
The baguettes haven't arrived. Leslie

wants to start the salads now, and we
still haven't had the delivery from the

Macpherson's. Can you chase them up,
please?

Get a move on, will you?

Sorry about that.

Bad time.

As you can see, we're up to our necks in
it.

You don't happen to play, do you?

A little.

Well, there's a job going here if you'd
want to.

We've just been let down.

Oh, come on.

Done with you for a few nights.

Couple of lunchtimes, maybe?

Hope you don't mind me asking.

Anything in the courtyard?

No, but we'll catch him, won't we?

We'll get the bastard, won't we?

Yes, we'll get him.

We'll get him.

That was wonderful.

Where did you learn to play the piano
like that?

I was brought up to appreciate music.

Fantastic. I'll see you tonight, then.
Is 7 .30 OK?

Oh, don't worry about that.

We'll fix you up with a tux.

Well, the jacket, anyway.

Thanks.

By the way, can you tell me how to find
the Grand Old Opry?

Grand Old Opry?

There's a country singer there looking
for some band members to go on tour with

him. Nothing definite.

Yeah, well, just so long as you remember
that I've got first claim on you.

How can I forget?

Well, you go out to the main street.

There's a set of traffic lights about
100 yards.

You turn right and it's on the corner.

See you then.

Wish you luck.

That woman's too bloody cute.

Leave Miss Duncan to me.

She'll have my head in the news.

Don't go into the witness box, Mr.
O'Donnell.

You'll give the wrong impression to the
jury.

I strongly suggest... You strongly
suggest not.

You don't have to stand there and take
all that shit, do you?

You're charged with attempt to murder,
Mr. O'Donnell.

It's not like refusing to pay your poll
tax or forgetting to declare taxable

income. You could go down for a very
long time.

I'm sure you understand that.

Oh, yeah.

I understand all right.

Well, is that okay?

I think you put your evidence over very
well.

But he must be prepared for heavy cross
-examination tomorrow.

That doesn't matter to me as long as
that bastard goes down.

If he doesn't, I swear... You'll do
nothing that will play into their hands.

I've told you, Mr Strachan, you must
speak to the fiscal and not to me.

Chief Inspector Mills.

Your office has been attacked.

What do you mean, attacked?

It's been shot up.

You swore if I gave evidence.

Superintendent McVitie assured me that
every prosecution witness would receive

adequate protection.

It's impossible to cover every
eventuality.

If you can't lay down guarantees, then I
refuse to give further evidence.

You're a very lucky man, Strachan. You
could easily be standing in that dog

yourself.

Take him out of here.

We can't afford to lose this case, Chief
Inspector. It is in the public interest

that... I know what's in the public
interest.

You do your job, I'll do mine.

Precisely.

Stay away from my husband, bitch!

You coward!

I'm telling you to fight me!

Sean!

Chief Inspector.

I've changed my mind.

Again?

I'll give you the evidence you want.

Not to me, Miss Gilbreath.

I want you to make your statement to Mr
Taggart.

Carlton Stewart?

Do I look like Carlton Stewart?

Where is the man?

Audition?

Yep.

Audition's Friday.

Darling, there's something I've got to
talk to you about. Not now, Ian. I have

busy schedule.

How do I get to talk to you? Do you want
me to make an appointment?

Don't be sarcastic, Ian. It doesn't suit
you.

How long have you been having an affair
with O'Donnell?

Off and on, about two years.

But his wife never knew.

Dee Dee has a drink problem.

If she knew about us, she didn't care.

Well, she knows now.

Sean set me up in the boutique. Once
this business with Strachan was over, he

promised to leave Dee Dee.

And you believed him?

What happens now?

Well, I make arrangements at the hotel.

We can then go back to your flat and
pick up a few of your things.

I'm not sure I'm ready for all this.

You can't change your mind now.

What about the boutique?

We'll have somebody to keep an eye on
it.

Don't worry.

Don't worry?

I leave you in charge of the business
for two weeks and we end up in a bloody

full -scale war.

That was over two years ago, Dad. Do I
have to go through this again and again?

Next time you want to flex your muscles,
you think. I didn't know Nicky was

driving the cab.

Is that all you can say?

O'Donnell's men were taking liberties.

And how could I get in touch with you?
You were way playing soldiers, for

Christ's sake. Lucky for you, the Gulf
War ended when it did.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a
business to come back to.

It was an accident. How many times do I
have to tell you? You get in touch with

O'Donnell. Give him a message.

Don't ring from here.

You tell him.

Enough is enough.

Tell him I want to talk.

You can't do that. Do it.

Everything all right?

Aye, fine.

Do you fancy a takeaway?

No, for me, thanks.

There's nothing in the fridge.

Do you mind if Tony slips out?

He goes to one of our lads. I wouldn't
have it any other way, Michael.

Will you lay out the sauce?

Last time, Sean.

Give it a rest.

I'm warning you.

I've given you the best years of my
life.

If you think I'm going to let some
tart... Double whiskey.

Billy? What rubber have you picked up
from my husband tonight?

What's he talking about?

How the hell do I know?

Is it done?

Aye, it's done.

No trouble?

No trouble.

Don't play with me, Shanks.

Anything to keep me quiet, is that it?

You're pissing me off, do you know that?

Why don't you send her off on a bloody
cruise or something?

What about your aunt?

If you want to put the fear of God on
people, you've got the right man.

He scares me just looking at him. Can we
trust him?

The man's a professional.

And she's had enough to drink. Just call
her a taxi.

Stop.

Something bothering me, sir.

What's that?

Mrs. Duncan.

Ah, the lovely Michelle.

I've been trying to get a hold of her.

Haven't we all?

No, seriously.

I need to speak to her or the fiscal.

The ambitious Michelle.

I don't know about ambitious.

She's certainly doing a brilliant PR
job.

This trial's turning out to be a
commercial for Michelle Duncan.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm getting a
wee bit edgy. I don't want this case to

go flying out the window.

What's the problem?

Liz Galbraith.

Well, if you feel you must have words
with me, Cheryl, tell me what you want.

And then I suggest you leave it in my
hands.

I'm a friend of the family, Brian.

Ian Duncan and I are old golfing
partners.

Yeah. Dad wants me to do a deal.

Well, you tell him he had a chance.

The token's over.

He's serious.

If he's serious, tell him I want to see
a sign of goodwill.

He must be joking.

What do you think?

Good evening.

Could you tell me where I can find the
dojo, please?

Just through the door and up the stairs.

Thank you, madam.

But, sir, you can't go in. It's windy
tonight.

Hey, punk.

Sorry, Maddy.

Matty.

Matty. You should know better, Michelle.

It's a sport. It's not a battle.

Jack.

I'm impressed, Michelle.

Over -enthusiasm stems from my
childhood, Jack.

Two big brothers taking advantage of
their little sister.

Not anymore.

What can I do for you?

Liz Galbraith has changed her mind
again. She will give evidence after all.

You realise this meeting is highly
irregular, Jack?

Well, yes.

But I had to tell someone this evening.

I'm told this afternoon she was
O'Donnell's mistress.

And she can bridge a number of the
weaknesses in our case.

Why has she changed her mind again at
this stage? Well, you know what they say

about a woman's call.

Well, can you take a detailed statement
from her and get it to the fiscal's

office first thing in the morning?

Yes, yes.

And I think you should apply to have
O'Donnell's bail withdrawn.

It might give the Liz Galbraith of this
world some confidence in us.

I also suggest to the jury that
O'Donnell is guilty.

He'd therefore have grounds for appeal.

I don't want that to happen.

Now, if you don't mind, Jack, I'm going
for a swim.

Unless, of course, you'd like to
continue this discussion in... Well, no.

could be in enough hot water already.

Thank you, Matt.

Do I know him? Who?

You know who I mean.

Know him? Yes.

Have a mushroom pizza? Will that do?

Aye.

That'll do.

Anyone for coffee?

No, no thanks.

I'll give you a hand, son.

He made a phone call.

Who to?

Said it was his girlfriend.

Thanks. And I keep an eye on him.

And Grant.

I want the trial brought on a blocked
end.

That's all I've got.

We're saving.

He promised.

He's not coming, is he? He must have
been held up.

This is his way of telling me he doesn't
approve.

Alice is engaged in a very difficult
inquiry. That excuse is wearing pretty

thin. I'm glad I'm not.

What do you think?

I've got a lot of hard work into the
placement.

I don't think I'm going to pop an eight
-plus, will I?

I wish you well.

Thank you.

Jackie. Jackie did...

How

long do I have to stay here?

Well, until the trial's over.

Then what?

Well, I'll worry about that when the
time comes.

I'm beginning to wish I'd never
bothered.

Well, I worked my way up through the
Northern Territory.

You've heard of the Northern Territory,
have you? Why, yes.

Flating bars.

A little bit different than this place.

More like a... You don't have to tell
me, I can imagine.

I must say it sounds really exciting.

Well, after about a hundred -odd
requests for...

boring to say the least.

Put enough money together though to make
this trip.

Why don't we go out for dinner?

I'm far too busy.

I've had an invitation to go to the
Bahamas in April.

Why don't you come with me?

We'll do us both good.

We never go anywhere these days. You're
so immersed in your damn career.

I would like to have traced my great
-grandfather's house.

He lived there in Glasgow, but I've only
got six weeks.

I'd be pleased to help you. It's not
that important.

Genealogy is a hobby of mine. It'd be no
trouble.

Ladies and gentlemen, Alison and I would
like to thank you all for coming here

this evening, and we look forward to
welcoming you in the near future as

customers, as well as friends.

God bless you all and safe journey home.

Thanks again for coming.

Take care.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

I'm worn out.

Well, it's a way of life you better get
used to.

We're going to make it to the dead
mother.

You're folks.

Yes.

Well, there's still much shit about me.

I mean, I was living together.

You want to know something?

I don't really care.

This is very nice of you, Jack.

No trouble, Jean.

Are you sure you won't stay for a
coffee?

No, it's getting late. I'd better get
off home.

You'll be OK?

Of course.

Jim will be back soon.

See you later, Jean.

Thank you, Jack.

God bless.

I don't want to argue, Jean. I'm running
out of excuses for you.

I don't like Matt.

How could you do this to your own
daughter?

She knows how I feel.

You don't care a damn about other
people's feelings.

You've missed the point, haven't you?

But then you always have.

I don't know why I ever married you, Jim
Taggart.

I thought we employed you to play the
piano.

Well, I haven't had any breakfast yet.
Yeah, well, you should have had some

before you came in.

I thought it came with the job.

That's the only thing that comes with
the job.

I saw him going up the road.

Dad. This is Bill.

Hi.

He's Australian.

Nice to meet you, Mr Taggart.

I want to apologise for last night.

I think it's time I got to work.

See you around, Mr Taggart.

I just want you to be happy, Alison.

Oh, Dad.

This Crocodile Dundee, is it something
serious?

No. He just plays the piano and
hopefully brings in a few customers.

Don't complicate your life, Alison.

Mr Strachan, I want you to tell the
court what the accused said for you.

On the day you told him you were going
to set up your own cab business.

I can't remember.

What do you mean you can't remember?

I can't remember.

Mr Stratton, did you not make a written
statement

to Detective Jardine, signed by you and
witnessed by another officer?

Well...

I said what Mr. Jarden wanted me to.

I think a short adjournment might assist
you, Miss Duncan.

It will indeed, my lord.

Thank you.

What bloody strokes are you pulling now?

Well, come no given any more evidence.

Now you listen to me, Drachen. Mr.
Drachen, a private word, please.

Excuse us.

I'm very disappointed in you.

Yeah? Well, it's not your life that's on
the line, is it? Peter, I need to win

this case badly.

You never change, do you?

You don't give a damn about anyone
except yourself.

You owe it to me out of loyalty.

Come on.

Am I imagining things, Rob? Those two
have got something going.

Result. What?

I'd like to know what your wee secret
is.

It's called charm.

Find out what's causing the delay.

Sir, you get back into court. I'll find
Mr.

Duncan.

Mr.

Duncan!

They're waiting to go home. Can he find
her?

You take a look down that way.

Is he Duncan?

Is he Duncan?

Is he Duncan?

I'll get some milk.

Nice try, Mucker.

But how can something like this happen
in a court overwhelmed by your officers?

I hold you personally responsible, Jack.

I shall hold an inquiry, of course,
Alastair.

Whatever happens, I will not let this
dreadful business interfere with the

course of justice.

Of course not.

There'll be an adjournment in a couple
of days.

Will the Crown Office get their act
together?

Miss Duncan will be sadly missed.

Are you positive her death had nothing
to do with O'Donnell?

I'm afraid not, Alastair.

This is Glasgow, Jack, not Chicago.

I will not be intimidated.

Look at your strangulation.

The wire was thrown over the head in a
loop.

She was a judo expert.

Yes, well, I don't think wire pulled
tightly from behind is in the normal

repertoire of the sport.

Could you break it gently, too, that
there's going to be a recess?

This is turning into a nightmare, you
know that? You're overreacting.

Yeah, well, possibly a few days.

Look,

I don't want her to learn about it
through the media.

Tell her she'll have to stay there for a
few days longer.

If there's any trouble, ring me back,
otherwise I'll speak to you later, eh?

OK.

Bye.

OK, bye.

There's something wrong, isn't there?

Everything's fine.

Mr. Duncan, did Michelle have any
enemies?

Threatening phone calls, letters?

Well, if she did, she didn't tell me.

But she would have mentioned it.

Well, not necessarily. Michelle was her
own person.

Detective Chief Inspector Taggart will
pull out all the snobs.

I will do all that is necessary.

That might not be good enough, Chief
Inspector.

I'm not sure what you mean, sir.

Oh, you will, if you value your job.

Jack, I'd like to be on my own. Yes, I
understand, Ian. There's a car waiting

for you outside.

Let me know if there's anything I can
do.

Who does he think he is?

The man's upset, Jack.

Lucky for him.

Michelle Duncan was seen talking to
Stratton at court.

Brian got the impression they knew each
other.

Would she be having an affair?

With Stratton?

I doubt it.

You don't seem too sure.

Michelle's marriage to Ian was one of
convenience.

He comes of a wealthy family with a
great deal of clout in the legal world.

Michelle was always very ambitious.

She was in a great hurry to become a
successful advocate.

You mean she would shack up with anyone?

Yes. If it would further her career.

I don't see how striking could further
her career.

No.

Neither can I.

Don't talk to me.

But he'll never know.

No one's going to convict you.

Scaring people is one thing.

Durant knows what he's doing, Sean.

What if it all goes wrong, eh?

I should never have let you talk me into
this.

You're looking at ten years.

There's no other way.

Trust me.

What you've got to worry about is Liz.

Liz wouldn't do anything to harm me. I
wouldn't bet on it.

Look, leave Liz out of this. She's my
problem.

Right?

Whatever you say.

How can O'Donnell wield so much power?
After all, the man's only a jumped -up

cab proprietor. Couldn't even call him a
petty villain a few months ago.

I'd like to know who he's brought in
from the outside.

Yeah, but why Michelle Duncan?

We don't know there's a connection.

Well, whoever put the frighteners on
it's had a desired effect.

Disrupted the trial.

Scared off witnesses.

Just make sure Liz hasn't been scared
off.

Oh, damn it.

When am I going to get out of this
bloody place?

So is it?

It's D .C. Reid.

Hi. How much longer do I have to stay
here?

It's all yours.

Well, that's what I came to tell you.
The trial will resume on Tuesday. Has it

occurred to you that I might be next on
the list?

Well, we can't be certain that Michelle
Duncan's death has anything to do with

O'Donnell. It's possible she could have
disturbed someone. Like who?

Who are you trying to kid?

I'm not trying to kid anyone.

Look, Jackie, I like to enjoy myself.

And I like to get out of this
godforsaken hole.

Well, listen, Liz.

I think you should keep your head down
until Tuesday.

Sod off.

I'll call in some extra troops.

I don't want her getting out of the
hotel.

Let's go home.

It's good, isn't it?

Depends what you mean. Good.

Personality.

Yeah?

Liz, how you doing, Sean? Liz, where the
hell are you, love?

I'm not supposed to say.

Come on.

Sean, still love me?

Yeah, sure.

But come on, Liz, you're not going to do
the business on me now, are you?

Look, there's a lot of pressure on me.

I'm all screwed up about things.

You, me.

God, you're a bastard, you know that,
Sean?

I'm at a hotel.

The law's here. They brought in extra
people today.

Just tell me where.

Sean, you wouldn't hurt me, would you?

There's nothing between us that can't be
resolved.

I promise you.

I'm at the Marriott.

Room 630.

Right.

I'll get back to you somehow.

Just play them along.

We'll sort something out.

Liz?

Liz?

Go to your mind.

I should have put him in charge.

Who's cracking?

He's having a bath.

I've just made him a cup of tea.

Well, I'm glad someone's awake.

We've been on 48 hours. So what do you
want, a medal?

This place should have been as tight as
a drum.

The men were tired.

No bloody excuse.

How the hell did they get in?

Glass cutter. Bit of sticky tape.

Climbed a green pipe.

Yeah, spoke to the officer who was in
the garden.

Never saw or heard anything.

How's Tony taking it?

I put him in the lounge.

Calm him down.

We'll go down and see him. About Tony,
sir.

It didn't seem important at the time,
but the other night he made a phone

Told his babysitter that he was phoning
his girlfriend.

She used an outside phone.

Why did you let this happen?

You said we'd be safe.

You gave your word.

I'm sorry.

You think that's enough?

Who did you make the phone call to?

Phone call? What phone call?

What are you talking about?

The night you went to pick up that
takeaway, you made a phone call.

Allegedly to your girlfriend?

Aye.

I'd like her name and number, please.

Wait a minute.

You think I'd set up my own father?

You tell me.

I can't believe that.

Who did you phone?

Come on, Tony.

You could have used the phone here.

I called O'Donnell.

But Dad wanted to make peace with him.

In the end, all this stupid violence.

What did O'Donnell say?

He wanted some kind of gesture.

Goodwill. Is that why your father
refused to give evidence?

Aye.

I'm not going to let you drink yourself
into an early grave.

What do you care?

When have you ever cared about me?

If I have to go away and Nicky comes out
of hospital, she's going to need

someone to take care of her.

Now, I am not going to let her fall into
the hands of some vodka sodden hag who

doesn't even know what day it is.

Why don't you just go?

Move in with her.

Just leave me.

I heard the noise.

Don't be a hurdle.

Fling every bottle of booze out of this
place.

I'll make them coffee.

It was your fault.

It was you who introduced them to that
bitch.

What bitch?

What bitch?

What bitch do you think I'm talking
about?

Or is there more than one? If you're
talking about Liz, that's all over.

Finished. You have no worries.

All over. Finished.

Is that what you think?

So why was he on the telephone to her
last night?

Liz?

You must have made a mistake. He would
have told me.

Sean does not tell you everything.

But he does know where she is.

She's at the Marriott.

Room 630.

Well, can't say it's empty. I've gone
across.

Looks kind of familiar to me.

I think they all look the same.

Well, better get these out in the
streets.

I could help in the kitchen, you know. I
wouldn't be in the way.

Mum, just till you get on your feet.

It's very nice of you, Mrs. Taggart. I
don't want to interfere.

Bill, come to that rescue, please.

I only wanted to help.

Mother always knows best.

Isn't that what they say, Jean?

There you are. I thought you were taking
Bill to Jacob's great -grandfather's

house. Come on, Bill. I know when I'm
not wanted.

Yeah, well, you shouldn't tell Fibs
then, should you?

Yeah, and don't forget Bill's playing
the piano at lunchtime.

There's been a change of plan.

I had her open the curtains.

You

staying

for lunch, Jim?

No.

No, I've got a call to make. Oh, be my
guest.

Pub. Pub.

Restaurant. Anywhere else you think
might get us an idea.

CID? Michael, is that you?

Yes, sir. Look, I want you to go down
and see O'Donnell.

Time to scrub things up.

You know what I mean.

No problem, sir.

Okay. Willie, come on.

Let's go and stuff things up a bit.

You sure you won't join me?

They do a very good lasagna.

Morning. Sorry, we get held up in
traffic.

Right, they're in room 630 on the sixth
floor.

If you want me, I'll be back at the
station.

Who is it?

What got in there?

I don't answer any questions unless my
solicitor is present.

All right, lads, it comes down to that,
will you?

All right.

What do you want?

What Peter Strachan wanted.

And then to the violence and killing.

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

Strachan's dead.

Strachan's dead?

And whoever it is you hired, it's just
for the goat Liz.

Look, I swear I know nothing about this.

Tony tried to do a deal on behalf of his
dad.

Yeah, yeah.

What did you tell him?

I don't know. I can't remember.

I think I rang off.

Listen, I don't know.

You'd better pull this man off that
you've hired to do your dirty work

anyone else gets killed.

Strachan took half my business away, set
fire to my cars, tried to kill my

daughter.

And I swore if it cost me everything I
had... You'd what?

I'd get even.

But not this way.

I swear, not this way.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Using Nicky as an excuse to keep this
idiotic war going on.

I really feel sorry for you, O'Donnell.
You know that?

Come on, Willie.

Let's leave the man to his drink.

He's got something to celebrate.

Where are you going? I'll take my
chances.

Look, this is surrealist. Where would
you go? I don't care.

Anywhere. This is not a good idea.

Look, you're safe here. We can't... Say,
who are you kidding?

Well, let's at least talk about it, eh?

Get out of my way.

Don't let her out of your sight.

I'm the law and the one for love.

What have I done? I told you to leave
Liz out of this.

I did it for you.

For your own good, Sean. You don't need
her.

Look, I know what I need. I don't need
you telling me what to do, okay?

We're both on the same side here. What
are you talking about? This is my

You do what I ask you to do. Not what
you decide to do. What I ask you to do

what I tell you to do.

Okay?

None of your initiative. It's mine.

You do as you're told.

Get me to your rut.

Alison was a nurse, wasn't she?

We had high hopes.

Things don't always work out as you
planned, Jean.

No.

What about you?

Me?

You're well educated.

This Bondi leech image doesn't fool me.

I studied sociology and music.

I walked out on my final year.

That was naughty.

What did your parents think of it?

They would have smacked my backside if
they could have caught me.

They had a big plan for Dennis and me.

Dennis?

Yeah, Dennis. My older brother.

He stayed behind.

Come with?

To Australia.

Why don't you come home for supper
tonight?

Michael.

Sir.

Door.

I've just had O'Donnell's solicitor on
the phone.

What do you think you're playing at?
It's against all the rules and

O'Donnell thinks he's untouchable, sir.
You can't do this sort of thing. The

man's on bail.

With respect, sir, we've got two
unsolved murders in our hands.

If we don't go around asking questions,
then we'll be accused of not doing our

jobs. This is not the way to go about
it.

You do not speak to O'Donnell unless his
solicitor is present, and that is

final.

Yes, sir.

I've been searching all over this
country.

We've got another chance.

I'll take you there.

Only don't mess it up this time.

What happened?

Did you lose your nerve or something?

We're the best of friends, really.

It's just not my day.

The trial resumes in two days.

If we don't track down this lunatic...
There won't be any witnesses left to

evidence. Yeah, I know.

The idea, how can I help you?

Yeah.

OK, yeah, we'll be right down there.

Thanks.

Jackie.

I think we've just had a breakthrough.

Come on.

Jean -Pierre, this is the wrong order.

The garlic bread has got cheese topping.

How can you have salami? It's not even
on the menu.

I am very sorry.

Alison, I need a hand in the bar. I
can't do two things at once. Get Sophie

do that. That's what we pay her for,
isn't it?

Dad.

You wouldn't like to do a bit of
moonlighting, would you?

It's good as that, isn't it?

Better than we could have hoped for.
We're just not geared up for it.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dad. I've got to go. Why
don't you come home for a wee bite?

I don't know.

I remember when you used to do that.

Dad, I've got to go. Another time,
perhaps.

Another time, perhaps.

We don't usually have a problem, you
know.

We get a few youngsters that try it on
now and again.

But that's all.

Are you sure this is the same man?

Aye. It's a good likeness.

And what about the other one?

I don't want to get involved.

Well, you are involved, whether you like
it or not.

Liam Patrick.

One of O'Donnell's drivers.

Aye. Well, some say he's more than that.

How do you mean?

He thinks the sun shines out of
O'Donnell's backside.

He gets jealous when others take an
interest, if you know what I mean.

An interest?

Look, I've said too much.

With this cab warning thing's going on,
it's not safe to be seen talking to your

people.

You, er... You didn't by any chance keep
that broken bottle, did you?

I'll see.

Come on.

You know what? Take your boots off.

I paid you to cook, not nag.

Now I know why you never trained
yourself a wife.

I was up at the early doors waiting on
that damned poacher.

I think I deserve a rise.

It's the pick I don't want to, you know.

What's the matter?

You're not feeling well?

No.

I've several good ones here, Michael.

Shall we call Eamon?

He hasn't reported the incident?

He won't. Not the effort of her, ma 'am.

Have we enough there for an immediate
search?

I'll need elimination prints.

Time.

Bye. I suppose you want pain?

I'm sure we can come to some
arrangement.

There you go.

Tears? No.

What about Friday night?

I think we've got a party coming in at
about... Yeah, seven.

No.

We've arranged for some... Who?

That's okay.

Evenings are out anyway.

No.

Wait a minute.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's your problem, not mine. I know.

See you later.

Why? You hired him.

I'm firing him. We're partners.

We're to talk about things like this. I
just don't like that book. I don't like

his attitude, his manner, his crude
language. I promise you, Matt, if you

embarrass me again like that, you'll
know what crude language is.

CID office, DC Reid.

I want to talk to somebody.

Sorry, could you speak up, please?

It's about the murders.

Miss Duncan and Mr Strachan.

I think I've got some information that
might help.

When... When I was still in the army,

our relationship was perfect.

Perhaps because we had so much in
common.

In spite of the difference in our years.

going to do?

When I left the army, we drifted apart
very quickly.

The marriage became a hopeless mess.

Partly my fault.

And Michelle's career took up much of
her time.

But believe me, Chief Inspector, I loved
her.

Really?

In spite of her indiscretions, that was
something I was willing to put up with.

What indiscretions?

I'm sure she had many lovers over the
years.

Who were they? Do you know?

Her most recent, I believe, was her judo
instructor.

Mr. Kennedy.

Aye, aye, aye.

Let's walk.

We were all in the army together.

Professional soldiers.

Miss Duncan and Strachan? Aye.

We were on reserve commitment.

What does that mean exactly?

Well, you can be called up at any time.

Like in a national emergency?

Aye. Last time was the Gulf.

You fought in the Gulf War?

Almost.

What do you mean, almost?

Well, we were put through a hasty
induction course, given two weeks'

training, put on 24 -hour standby.

We were due to fly out that night.

Go on.

Well, we never left Glasgow.

There was a stand -down at the last
minute. The order got cancelled.

And how did McDuncan crack him, I'm
told?

Captain Duncan was the duty officer.

Stratton was the sergeant.

There was some trouble.

What kind of trouble?

I don't know. I think Strachan was
involved.

Was Strachan and Duncan having an
affair?

I don't know.

You're not holding something back, Mr
Kennedy, are you?

I've told you all I know.

I thought it might be helpful.

Ah.

Duncan and Strachan were in the army
together.

We think they were having an affair.

We'll give you that idea.

A man called Kennedy.

They're all part -time soldiers.

Mr. Target, sir.

Yes, Hamish. I've got an ident on these
prints.

It's an old photograph from the Lansby
murder trial back in 1980.

Now, Durant was one of many suspects.

He was eliminated almost immediately
from the inquiry, but thankfully for us,

this photo remained on the file. Now,
this is all I could put together over

telephone.

Joseph Durant.

alias Mike Spence, ex -SAS, who ensured
at London 1952

convictions for attempted murder, armed
robbery, assault, all to do with

protection gangs.

Last conviction, ten years for murder,
served his sentence in a long linen

prison and was released a week ago.

A week ago?

Not everyone has a job waiting on them,
sir.

Must have bucked the unemployment
statistics for ex -cons, eh?

Last occasion, it took the Met four
months to find him.

He'd been living wild in Buckinghamshire
in a dugout foxhole.

A gamekeeper's dog sniffed him out,
otherwise he would never have found him.

I want your aunt's photograph circulated
to press and television.

And Jackie, get on the long line in
prison.

I want to know who visited your aunt in
the last few months.

I was just telling Bill Alison hasn't
touched the piano since she was at

I like your daughter's choice of music.

She has good taste.

Aye.

Bill's staying for supper.

It was great, really,

something.

I thought haggis was completely
different.

All shapes, guts and everything.

It's good wholesome food.

I've tasted better.

I'll get the coffee.

I

don't

want you.

to complicate Alison's life any more
than it is.

I'm just passing through, Mr Taggart.

I can assure you that Alison doesn't
enter into my plans in any way.

Good.

And please, let's keep it that way.

I've switched the coffee pot on. It
won't take a few minutes.

Are you interested in the police force,
Bill?

No.

I should imagine that the work makes you
become very cynical.

You start to see only the worst in
people.

Has your judgment started to become
clouded after all these years, Mr.

I try to keep an open mind.

But not all policemen are like you, are
they, Mr. Taggart?

That's why innocent people find
themselves locked up for crimes that

never committed.

Because they spoke up for what they
believe in stood up for what is right

I'll get it

I've walked out on that.

I've made a complete fool of myself

Allison

I'm sorry.

There's always a bed here for you, you
know that?

I'm not sure about anything anymore.

Your mum and I will stick by you.

All we want is for you to be happy.

What happened to Bill?

Took him back last night.

Did he um did he say anything?

No, oh I'll sort things out. I promise

Hey

Come here, the other pig.

Jimmy, stop him off!

Sorry, sir. Did I wake you up?

Hello. I'm sorry.

I've made a fool of myself.

We shall study.

As it was always sacrosanct, even my
entrance was frowned upon.

Your wife was called up for the Gulf War
as a reservist?

Yes, she was.

And what about you, sir? I believe you
were in the forces too?

Me? I was much too old for the Gulf.

My army days are restricted to boring
reunions.

Did Michelle keep any records in her
army service?

Records?

Military cases she may have been
involved with.

I don't understand. Why would you want
to look at her records?

We found a connection between your wife
and Peter Strachan.

They were both called up to serve in the
Gulf War.

Now, it may have nothing to do with her
death, but, well, it's something we have

to look into.

Well, you'll find papers in there.

But please, could you put things back as
you find them?

Michelle was...

Very strict about that.

Inside. Come on.

He's about... Who?

The poacher.

I just found some more rabbits near.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's camping
out in the

woods.

The barber of Nesdale Road, Pollock
Shields, was trapped by the crushing

mechanism at the rear of his lorry.

The police say there are no suspicious
circumstances.

Mr. Barber's wife is being comforted by
relatives.

The weather outlook for the next 24
hours... You see, when your kids reach a

certain age, they're off your hands.

Don't you believe that?

If you're interested,

Durant was inside with Danny McAllister.

McAllister was a friend of Liam's
brother.

Okay.

Terry Patrick?

Maybe this is the link we've been
looking for.

That is, if you're interested.

I'm waiting for a fax from Long Lane in
prison.

What do you mean, if I'm interested?

Your mind seems to be on other things,
Jim.

It hasn't gone unnoticed.

Is it a domestic problem?

I'm doing my job, sir.

Well, my door's always open, you know
that.

Got court -martial papers here.

Cases of McDuff, Jones, Pilar.

Some of these go back too far.

Better check them out all the time.

Here's one on desertion.

Don't they shoot you for that?

Aye, and for talking too much.

Here we go.

Company orders regarding Desert Storm.

The planning meetings.

The difficult meetings.

No support.

Sergeant Peter Strachan.

Corporal Derek Kennedy.

It's going to take us months to get
through anything.

No, it won't.

Have you found what you were looking
for?

Sir, eight of these names have been
underlined in red ink.

Why would Michelle do that?

Well, they're obviously of some
significance.

Yes, but what?

Should we get back to Target with this
information, then? Aye, watch me check

out something else first.

More to satisfy his curiosity than
anything else.

Where the hell do I start?

Don't go upsetting him, Michael.

Mr Friel.

CID.

Only chance I get to practice before the
students from the college come in.

You'll know why we're here, Mr Friel.

Aye.

Wondering why it took you so long.

You were having an affair with Michelle
Duncan.

Is that a statement or a question?

Do you mind telling us about it?

Well, you couldn't really call it an
affair.

Michelle had a sexual appetite that was
hard to satisfy.

Very physical.

Strong -willed woman. She used men as if
they were... Dunno.

Disposable?

Aye.

Disposable.

Michelle Duncan loved Michelle Duncan.

The only person she ever truly had an
affair with. Do you know who her other

sexual partners were?

One thing about Michelle, she was always
discreet.

Thank goodness.

Do you know of anyone who would want to
kill him?

All ambitious people have enemies, don't
they?

Taggart.

Jim. Oh, hello, Steve.

Look, there's one here I think you
should see.

I'll be right along.

Well, thanks very much for all your
help.

I don't think there's any more questions
we need to ask you, did you?

I'm happy to cooperate.

There's nothing to hide.

One final question, Mr. Shrews.

You ever in the army?

Me? In the army?

Certainly not. I'm a partisan.

A dustman. His name is Stuart Barber.

Should have been Humpty Dumpty.

I must admit I had quite a job finding
which bit belonged where.

Quite a puzzle, Jim.

A never -dead master of the Rubik's
Cube?

How did it happen?

Mangled up in the back of his own refuse
wagon.

I was inclined to think it was an
accident until about half an hour ago.

Wire embedded in the neck.

With all the blood and bits and pieces,
it was not surprisingly missed.

Do we know anything about him?

Married, three kids, tattoo in his arm.

I think it's his arm.

Yes, right forearm.

Do you want to go home with it?

I would say he was in the army at one
time.

A soldier?

This was in his pocket.

This army connection.

It seemed to be getting further away
from O'Donnell.

Maybe someone's trying to confuse us.

Yeah.

Sergeant Jordan, pick up Chief Inspector
Taggart from the mortuary.

We now have two bodies on Michelle's
list.

A dustman and a cab proprietor.

Both on reserve to go to the Gulf.

What if he and Duncan underlined those
names and not Michelle?

Why?

A hit list.

Perhaps they were all Michelle's lovers.

Kennedy, Michelle's lover?

He'd have more fun with his sheep.

Well, if what Friel told us is true, I
mean the way Michelle treated men.

Am I missing out on something here?

According to Friel, Michelle was some
kind of sexual athlete.

The only love affair she had was with
herself.

I can believe that old thing.

Carson Stewart.

How do I know that name?

You can't say a word that I want to know
when you're with another man.

Do you love me?

Darling, I will understand.

But you're sweeping a little closer to
the phone.

Let's pretend that we're together all
alone.

Oh, love is blind.

Make up your mind.

I've got to love.

Shall I hang up or will you? you tell
him you have to go?

Should I hand or will you tell him he's
got to go?

Hi. Well, you know what they say, Dave.

Don't call us, we'll call you.

That's right.

Good luck, son.

Hey, Dave.

Mr. Stewart.

I'm sorry, I've got all the acts I can
handle.

Unless you can play guitar.

This is one act that you can't book.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Aye.

Step this way.

Van will look after you, Lev. Be back in
a minute.

I barely know the others.

We're thrown together.

Unfit, undisciplined, totally unprepared
to go to war.

Can you tell us why those particular
names are underlined? No.

You don't sound very sure.

The names mean nothing to me.

You must have read about their deaths in
the newspaper.

I only read showbiz publications.

NME, that kind of thing.

My entire life revolves around music.

Look, as I've said, we were thrown
together.

Two weeks intensive training. We barely
got the chance to know each other.

Never in a million years did I think I'd
ever get called up.

Remember a man called Kennedy?

Farmer? No.

Should I? He said there was trouble.

Strachan was involved.

I can't remember.

He must have struck up a friendship with
somebody.

One of them must have been a country and
western fan.

I mean, I've even heard about Carlton
Stewart.

The name's Carlton.

Okay.

There was one guy.

His name was Fallon.

Schoolteacher.

His name's not on your list.

He committed suicide the night we were
due to leave for the Gulf.

Why?

Since he left the army.

He's become older, wiser, more
sensitive.

I don't know, his views on life have
changed.

Changed? Surely we all change as we get
older.

It's all part of growing up.

Adult policemen grow up.

What way did he change?

Fallon couldn't face the thought of
killing a fellow human being.

You mean he was a conscientious object?

Aye. That's why he committed suicide?

Threw himself off the balcony.

Look, I'd like to spend all day
chatting, but I've got more auditions to

if you'll excuse me.

How well did you know Michelle Duncan?

Michelle who?

Captain Duncan.

Captain Duncan?

Didn't know her name was Michelle.

She was your captain, wasn't she?

No.

She was the duty officer on the night of
Fallon's suicide.

Would she have been in charge of this
business of Fallon not wanting to go to

war? Aye.

I believe she presented the case at the
coroner's court.

Look, I'd like to help you, but... We'll
be in touch.

Hey, Mr Stewart.

Could I have your autograph?

It's for my mum.

I'm sure he's holding something back.

Seemed like a nice guy to me.

I don't want to be going down the wrong
road, losing touch with O'Donnell in

this damned trial.

Maybe we're dealing with two separate
killings, sir.

Was there any papers in Michelle's
cabinet dealing with this Fallon

No.

Take me back to the station.

You two, go and pick up Kennedy. Bring
him in. See what he knows about this

fallen business.

What are you doing here?

Well? We're all in reserve with Michelle
for the Gulf.

For some reason, she's underlined eight
of the soldiers' names.

We think it's got something to do with a
suicide.

Really, sir?

Yeah, a conscientious objector named
Fallon.

And what has this to do with the cab
wars?

Oh, we don't know that it is.

And what are we doing about the others
on the list?

I've arranged for them all to be traced
and interviewed, sir.

It's important that this should be
cleared up before the trial restarts.

If there is any connection, we... Sir,
that's the facts from Long Lennon

Durant had only one visitor in the last
few months.

Saw him three times, the last time a
week before he was released.

Well... You're not going to believe
this, sir.

Jackie, I don't have the time.

Liz Gilbraith?

And what does she think she's playing?

Exactly.

We'd better put Jim in the picture about
this.

Mr Kennedy about?

He's over in the stable.

On you go.

What, you're not frightened, are you?

No.

Mr Kennedy?

Mr

Kennedy?

Once again, you don't need a degree in
forensic science to establish the cause

of death.

Isn't this happening a bit too often,
Jackie?

And he's been killed by the same method.

Yes.

Getting rather tedious, wouldn't you
say?

He didn't see or hear anything.

No.

He was good.

He was good to me.

Have you had any visitors, Winnie?

Phone calls?

No.

Have you been troubling him recently?

Aye. But he wouldn't talk about it.

And then there was a poacher.

Poacher? What poacher?

He found rabbit snares in the woods.

This morning he said that... I'm sorry.

I can't help it.

I'm going to miss him.

What did Mr Kennedy say?

About what?

The poacher.

He said he thought someone was camping
out in the woods.

Over. Will do. Over and out.

I want those woods over there thoroughly
set for Durant. I could take these.

Weak. I haven't got the manpower.

Don't argue. Just do it.

Yes, sir.

No, sir. Three bags full, sir.

Yes. Liz?

It's time we met up.

Had a little chat.

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You scared the life out of me, Sean. Do
you know that?

I... I just need some time to think.

Look, Liz, don't go sorry on me now.

I need you.

Yes. I've got to go.

I've got a nasty feeling about her,
Sean.

You're going to have to do something
about her.

She's the only thing that stands between
you and freedom.

Who's there?

Tim Tiger.

Come in.

Look, Liz, don't tell me any more lies.

What lies?

Durant.

The man's a murderer.

How could you do that?

Don't bully me.

Why didn't you tell us?

Tell you what?

That you went to visit Durant in prison.

I haven't.

Liz, your name was on his application
form.

Liam said Durant was lonely.

Hadn't any visitors in months.

His wife left him.

It was a favour.

So now you're a social worker, as well
as a liar. It's the truth.

You put a deal in behalf of Gerante
O'Donnell.

Now, what was the deal?

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

People are being killed out there.

Well, that's nothing to do with me.

Oh, look.

I have got enough evidence.

To charge you of perverting the course
of justice.

I'll give evidence against O'Donnell. I
said I'd do that. I'm not going back on

that. Now, please, leave.

Leave!

Kathy, I want those glasses polished and
on the bar yesterday.

I want you to

leave.

I don't want you hanging about here
anymore.

Whatever happened to... Hi, Bill, you
well? Had a good day?

Stay away from Alison.

You've got nothing to worry about, pal.

I'm leaving anyway.

But why she wants to hang around with a
dead sheet like you, I got no idea.

Oh, have I come at the wrong moment?

Bill, I've spoken to a friend who says
that when she was a child, there was a

family of Hamiltons lived near Queen's
Park.

They owned a bakery.

Now, that fits in with some of the
information you gave me.

I'm going across there now. Would you
like me to check it out for you?

Sorry, Jean.

I've just been given my marching orders.

What if she goes bent on you?

With what she knows?

She wouldn't do that.

You can't be sure.

You've got to do something, Sean. Women
can be spiteful, vindictive.

What is it with you?

We've been friends a long time, Sean.

I wouldn't know what to do if you were
banged up for a long stretch.

Okay.

But I don't want our harm to you here.

Just skirt a little.

Of course.

Now, Liam.

If anything happens to her, don't you
bother coming back.

I didn't get any grandpapa's seat. We're
going to drop him off later on.

Where is Bill?

Um, he's not coming in this afternoon.

I don't understand.

He said he'd do lots of times a day.

I told him I didn't want him anymore.

Tell me I'm not hearing this.

He's screwing up our relationship,
Alison.

Ever since he came on the scene...
You've got to be kidding!

Look, you need to think of a damn about
you.

No blokes like that. Phil is a nice guy.
I like him. That's the end of it.

There's nothing to be jealous about.

Other people notice what they think.

Matt.

Running a wine bar is all about
socialising.

A smile here, a smile there. If this is
going to happen every single time I

smile at someone... Then we're better
off without him. That's what you think.

Oh, I get it.

You want me to do the little woman bit,
is that it?

Right then. If you want me, I'll be in
the kitchen. You can down there on the

wine bar on your own.

Alison. Go to hell.

Don't play a rubber ghost, Tony, son.

Never a big voice.

You better come in.

I'm going to destroy you, O'Donnell.

Just as you destroyed my dad.

Just give me a break, son, will you?

I didn't destroy your dad.

It was you who destroyed him.

It's all falling into place for me now.

It was you.

It was you that wiped out Nicky that
night, wasn't it?

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

What is it with you kids, huh?

All these months I've been blaming your
dad for escalating this bloody war.

All along it was you.

Put it away.

I love Nicky.

I know.

With an accident, I swear.

Well, it's too late for recriminations
now.

What are we going to do then?

Well, for a start, give me the gun.

Tony, son, you're not a gangster.

Neither am I.

Now come on, before it's too late.

Thank you.

What happened?

Put it in the car.

Sean knew I wouldn't give evidence
against him. Somebody's changed his

Who did this?

I've been so bloody stupid.

Who?

Durant.

Liam persuaded Sean to get an outsider
in to do his dirty work.

He told him about Durant getting out of
prison.

Well, where did he get that information?

Liam's brother.

It was, um... It was... It was...

It was Liam who arranged for me to go
and see Durant. I was to offer him 10

,000. To frighten off the witnesses. I
mean, he wasn't supposed to kill

How did Durant get in here?

Sean has a key.

Laz.

Don't worry.

We'll get them.

I'll go through with it this time.

I promise.

Let it go for a while.

Okay. Any luck?

Well, I tracked down two. I'm sure they
were hiding something.

Tony and O'Donnell?

You're joking.

I wanted to scare off Sean's drivers.

I made the phone call, asking to be
picked up outside the telephone box in

Condalas Road.

I didn't know Nicky was driving the cab.

All I saw was the O'Donnell sign on the
door.

You operated the crane?

Aye.

I swear I didn't know it was Nicky in
the cab.

What about this?

Where's Liam?

More than likely on his way back to
Ireland.

I thought he was loyal to you, you right
-hand man.

He was jealous of Liz.

I can't explain. He was just... Liam's a
strange sort of a fella, you know.

Possessive. And you encouraged him?

No.

No.

So...

How do we find your aunt?

Yes, could I speak to Bill Hamilton,
please?

Well, do you know where he is?

I see.

Checked out. OK, thanks very much.

No.

No, no, it's not important. I just
wanted to say goodbye.

When Strangham went out in his own, Tony
started saying Nicky.

I didn't approve.

But the war between us certainly got
worse after her accident.

TD started hitting the bottle.

The world was closing in around me.

I just wanted to get my own back.

Come in.

Sorry to disturb you, sir. There's
something you should see.

You two are going down for a long time.

And I'll let you burn in hell.

These are photographs of the wire
ligatures that killed Duncan, Strachan,

Kennedy and Barber.

So what am I looking for here? The wire
is identical.

The ends cut by the same instrument.

So what is our proof?

We find a hardware shop that sold these
and go on from there.

No, sir.

Either than that.

If you want wire like that, sir, you
don't go to a hardware shop.

Go to a music shop.

Guitar strings.

The bloody guitar strings.

She had left him lost and broken Like no
other had

before And his heart was just a token

Of all the pain it had in view

And his memories were clouded with all
the hurtful things she'd said.

Yes, for all intent and purpose, he
might just as well be

dead.

And some people claim they still hear
him call her name.

Just that thing.

Deep in the night, oh, sometimes right
at dawn.

See, his body died some years ago, but
round here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.

Oh, yes, his body died some years ago,
but round here Mr. Johnson's love lives

on.

Why would Carlson Stewart tell Michelle
Duncan?

Suicide. What was the guy's name?

Fallon. Aye.

Fallon.

God, I have to realise something.

I must be the first police officer to
have asked a murder suspect for his

autograph.

Great. You're on.

All we need to know is when you can
start.

We've got Birmingham, Manchester, one
night gig in London.

Six week tour of the Netherlands.

I didn't get your other name, Bill.

Fallon.

The name's Fallon.

Dennis's brother.

He wrote to me, remember?

Listen, I wrote to you because I wanted
you to know the truth. What really

happened?

He labelled him a coward.

That was a mistake.

Bill, you've got to understand.

We were all keyed up, ready to go to
war.

It was Captain Duncan's idea.

I swear, you've got to be...

Alan told me his younger brother had a
mental problem.

I didn't know he was psychotic.

He wrote to him.

He gave him the names.

A man has to do what a man has to do.

Go to the West.

You're full of bullshit.

Do you know that?

Come and see the show, Mr. Tiger.

Bring the family.

Give me a minute, Michael.

Oh, Nicky, I'm still thinking of you.

And I remember all the little things you
used to do.

Just lately, I've been reminiscing.

I've been missing your kisses. I just
can't get about you.

Oh, honey, come on through.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Every new move, piece of this old heart
dies.

I can't go on.

There's only emptiness without you.

And I just can't hold back on these
lonesome tears from my eyes.

Oh, Nick, yeah.

I'm still thinking of you.

And I remember all the little things you
used to do.

Just lately, I've been reminiscing.

And I just can't hold back on these
lonesome tears from my eyes.

And I just can't hold back on these
loads of tears from the night.
