Original subtitles

Morning. Billy came round again last night and I told him just as we agreed.

Well done, Lou.

Aye. Oh, not again.

Don't even look at me.

Morning. Morning, Dr Payne. Dr Gardner.

See you at lunch? OK, see you later.

There's something wrong with this door.

Duck.

What is going on with it? What is it?

Are you okay?

Stupid darn dog.

Here, let me have a go.

Victim's a Dr.

Roberta Payton, sir.

Works here as a partner.

She, uh, she took a 12 -bore from about 10 feet.

What is this place, a private clinic?

No, a women's health centre. Charitable trust.

How's the victim?

Not good.

She's just gone in the ambulance with one of the doctors.

No. No?

So she opens this door, yeah?

The twine here triggers the gun.

Wipe out.

So we're looking for a bit of a handyman, eh?

When was she last in her office?

It's not her office.

It's my wife's.

This is Dr Gardner, sir.

Can we have a word?

Of course.

What the hell do you want to know about me for?

Arrest these bastards and throw away the key.

We talked to everyone.

Whoever did this is laughing at us. And I tell you what, if you lot don't do

something, I will.

Mr Martin.

Mr Martin!

These are good people that work here, and this lot aren't fit to clean their

boots. Do you have a strong belief in the police, then?

I'm not paid to have beliefs.

I'm not paid to clean.

Are you paid to look after the keys and the mail?

Aye. Then tell me your movements from last night at 5pm until this morning.

We've got over 6 ,000 female patients on our files.

Why so popular?

Well, we have a code.

We don't preach, we don't judge. But you do arrange terminations.

That's just a small part of what we do.

These people don't agree.

Many don't.

This lot are new, though.

They are anti -abortion.

They seem to take the lead from their American cousin.

Why do you say that?

Well, they're specifically targeting us.

How?

Phone calls, pickets, the graffiti, of course.

This is the first letter.

Yeah, I contacted the branch board.

See what they've got on them.

And this was lying on the reception desk.

Could have been there since yesterday.

Have they got anything in particular against your wife?

My wife?

This has got nothing to do with Pamela. It was her office.

Surely this is random.

We're all partners. We stand together. That gun was aimed at your wife, Doctor.

Not you, not Doctor Payton, but your wife.

Think about it.

So are we looking at a professional hit here?

It's hard to say.

I've got something, though.

The gun was reported stolen in 1998. It was taken from a gun club in Ripon.

No prints right enough, but it was recently adapted, sawn off.

And what about the bench?

Standard workbench, brand new.

Not a print on it.

And it's the same with the hooks and eyes.

The string?

Binder twine.

No any farmers with a grudge?

Are there any other kind?

Sir, you got a minute?

Yeah.

This van arrives at the clinic at 2 .34 and then leaves again at 3 .30.

No shots of the driver?

No. Wrong angle.

The van?

Can't even tell the make.

The good news is there's 5 ,000 white vans in the Glasgow area.

Boss.

That's our set -up.

All right, brief me en route.

Mayor. Gaelic for life, boss.

Leader is one Audrey Edwards, local girl. Did a pharmacy PhD in the States.

back here last year to set up the Glasgow branch.

Zero tolerance for baby killers.

Right -hand man is this guy, ex -priest Tony Cunningham. He's got form.

Started off with obstruction, graffiti.

Anything heavy?

Aye. Assault a year back, threatening behaviour six months ago. All of it

around anti -abortion activity.

A man with a mission.

Good night.

Let's go and rattle a few cages.

How is the doctor?

She's going to recover.

I'm glad.

Why the concern?

Beer doesn't take life. We defend it.

So where were you after 11 last night through till morning?

Watching TV.

And then in bed with a cup of cocoa.

Any witnesses there? Yes.

Me.

You'd be Mr Cunningham.

And you'd be protecting abortionists. Tony, just leave it. Todd needs to hear

few home truths. Tony, this is serious.

No, no, no.

Tell you what.

Why don't you educate me? There's a secret holocaust going on out there.

And we...

are going to close down every butcher's shop, masquerading as a health clinic.

And before you ask, I was at Audrey's place last night.

Was that before or after the cocoa?

Both. But please resist colourful interpretation.

I was on my knees, praying for salvation.

Sad but true.

All right, let's get one thing straight.

All of you, if there's anybody here who knows anything about the events at the

clinic last night, this is one plod you're going to find out.

How is she?

Relieved she's still alive, sir.

Just get out of here.

Pam, for God's sake. Philip, Pam told me everything.

I don't want you here.

You said it was just between us.

Get out of here.

Now. I think you should do as she asks, Dr. Gardner.

Excuse me.

What was all that about?

It's a private matter.

There are no secrets now, Doctor.

My wife wants a divorce.

Why?

You really want to know, don't you?

I had an affair, okay?

Actually, it was a fling.

Nothing.

I thought I could talk her round.

But not now?

No.

Not now. Roberta knows.

Why's that?

They're thick as thieves.

Roberta will support Pam.

Tell her she's right to dump me.

I'll still need full details.

You don't give up, do you?

I think it would be better if you left now.

She's in no state to be interviewed. I'm staying.

He's got a point, Pamela.

Roberta's exhausted.

And you would be... Walter Renton. I'm Pamela's father.

Well, I think you and your daughter should go.

Come on, Pamela.

You should go home.

I'll come back in this afternoon.

I'll lead you to the station.

After then.

So, they're looking after you.

An inch either side and I wouldn't be here.

Have you arrested him yet?

Who? The anti -abortionist.

Did Dr Gardner have any enemies?

Did anyone hold a grudge against her?

Pam? No.

No one.

She's a very popular doctor.

When you went into the clinic, the lock on Dr Gardner's door was stuck.

Did she ask you to unlock it? No.

Anti -abortionist did this.

It could have been any one of us.

Right, order in the court. All mobiles off, please.

First thing, I don't want anybody jumping to conclusions.

Now, OK, it looks like these Bayer space cadets are responsible, but we don't

know that for sure.

Statements, Robbie?

Yeah, about halfway through the membership list, they admit targeting

for the past six months, picketing, graffiti, but bulletin envelopes,

murder, blanket denial.

Yeah, well, they would say that, wouldn't they? But, and it's a big but,

Pamela Gardner was the specific target... And poor Roberta got it by

Could it have been somebody else who had a grudge against her personally?

I don't think so.

Take a look at this.

April last year, Atlantic City.

Identical M .O.

The rifle was rigged to go off and the doctor opened his door.

Only he wasn't as lucky as Roberta.

Could just be a coincidence.

Well, the branch file shows that Audrey Edwards learned her trade working with

groups in the States.

And there's a link on Bayer's website to this American site.

That's where I found it.

Okay, Jackie, find out what else this group got up to and call it through.

Stuart, you're with me.

Where are you off to?

To the other doctors.

If this isn't the start of a campaign, they'll need protecting.

All I'm saying is keep a low profile.

Your husband's right, Dr Gardner. He would have a lucky escape.

At least cancel the lecture.

What lecture's this?

We tour local community centres, talking to teenage girls, giving advice on

contraception, sexual health, that kind of thing.

These bare people have been coming along, giving out leaflets condemning

It's Polneth Youth Centre this afternoon.

Well, I would advise you to postpone it, Dr Gardner. At least until we've

arrested whoever's doing this.

I'm frightened by all this.

But if they think they can keep me quiet, they are very, very wrong.

Okay.

Okay, but from now on, we're coming with you.

You're not going in?

Women only apparently.

They're dying and they're like stookies.

Let's hope they stay that way.

It's alright. I'm just... Billy,

I don't want you here. I've got to talk to you. No.

Nurse. Shh.

You need to listen.

This is serious.

Billy. Just look at me. How much more serious can I get?

This is worse. There's things you need to know.

There's something you need to know.

Can I help you?

Please, Roberta.

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Are you sure?

Honestly, thank you.

You've got five minutes.

Thanks, Stuart.

Where's mine?

Thought you had one, sir.

He drank it.

Boss.

Cunningham's gone.

What? He's not there.

Neither is she.

Was everything okay inside?

Aye, Jackie's in there.

We're missing something here.

Hello, can I speak to Chief Inspector Burke, please?

Can I have your name, please?

Payson. It's Roberta Payson here.

Can I ask what it's in connection with? Yeah, I've got some information for him.

I'm sorry, Inspector Burke doesn't seem to be answering. Well, can you tell him

it's important?

No, I've no time.

Look, I'll give you the number. Oh!

You!

Who found her?

A nurse heard the commotion, but she didn't see anyone.

What time was this?

About half an hour after Cunningham left the vigil.

Plenty of time to go over here.

Looks like a broken neck.

Pathologist said death would have been instantaneous.

There's no way of knowing, boss.

I know that, Robbie.

But if these bastards have set me up, they're going to regret it big time.

Let's go.

We simply abandoned the picket.

Right on cue.

I'm trying to help you here, OK?

You think I want this hanging over our heads?

What does Mr Cunningham want?

The worst possible scenario for the anti -abortion movement is that we lose the

moral high ground because a doctor gets murdered.

Tony understands that.

Tony damaged goods and you know it.

He's a tireless worker for the cause.

Where did he go?

I honestly don't know.

We're a voluntary organisation, not an army.

He's not under my control.

Well, you're going to wish he was.

Because if he is responsible for this, I'll make sure you all suffer.

I went back to the HQ.

We had people watching it. You never went near.

I sat on my own for a while, prayed for guidance, read my Bible.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Exodus, chapter 21, verse 23.

Oh, yeah.

Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Burning for burning, wound for

wound, stripe for stripe.

Impressive.

Are you impressed by Exodus, chapter 20, verse 12?

Smarter than you look.

Gonna remind me of that one, Stuart.

Thou shalt not kill, but vengeance is mine.

I will repay, saith the Lord.

I will repay.

Maryhill Police. May I help you?

Hello, can I speak to Chief Inspector Burke, please?

Can I have your name, please?

Payton. It's Roberta Payton here.

Can I ask what it's in connection with?

Yeah, I've got some information for him. God almighty.

I'm sorry. Inspector Burke doesn't seem to be answering his phone at the moment.

Well, can you tell him it's important?

I'll give you his voicemail.

No, I've no time.

Look, I'll give you the number.

Last word.

She knew.

She knew her killer.

He visited Rebecca about ten past four.

Fifteen minutes later, she was on the phone to us and that was it.

And you say she seemed agitated?

I asked if everything was okay, but she said yes, so I left him to it. And he

left the ward about ten minutes later?

Roughly. I was making a cuppa in the kitchen. I looked out the window and I

him getting into a van.

What sort of van?

Quite big.

A white transit van, I think.

So you saw this man leave, but you didn't see Roberta make her way to the

No. I wish I had.

She must have been in dreadful pain. I don't know how she managed it.

All right.

Thanks for your help.

Oh, what shall I tell her visitor?

Of what?

A man turned up about half an hour ago to visit her. He's waiting outside.

She's definitely dead.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'd better go.

Mr Matt, would this face mean anything to you?

Do you know this man, Mr Martin?

No.

No, I've never seen him before.

You sure?

Aye.

Can I go now?

Jackie interviewed him, didn't she?

Yeah.

We'll have to check him out further.

Seems a bit overly concerned for a Johnny.

Billy, it's me.

It's me, Bernie.

I need to speak to you.

About Roberta.

I'm at the hospital.

Billy, I promise I've got your picture.

Call me straight away.

Billy? Billy Dunn, but...

Why do you think this has anything to do with him?

What was his connection with Roberta?

He was Roberta's boyfriend.

I don't understand. Are you saying he's anti -abortionist? No, no, not at all.

But we think he was at the clinic on the night before the shooting.

And he was at the hospital too.

This is awful. I mean, that changes everything.

Aye, we know that.

What could his motive for this be?

Motive?

We were hoping you might be able to help. Can't you see she's had enough of

this? Please just leave her alone.

I'm sorry she's upset, Doctor, but this is a murder inquiry.

Stop treating me like some sort of child, Philip.

You're in shock, Pam.

God knows we all are.

We need to find this man, Billy Dunn.

If there's any way that you can help us.

Of course.

Boss, I'm going to dress for Billy Dunn. Good man.

Do we go right away, sir?

We do. You don't.

Find out just how well the good doctor here knows this guy done.

What, now?

Yeah. I want these two watched 24 -7, whether they like it or not.

Yes, sir.

Until I know different, all these doctors are potential targets and

Take a look at this.

Ferry ticket.

Aye, but look at the date.

He was in Holland the day before the shooting.

The new black health club?

That's Eddie Nestor's new play. Sexy Eddie?

He's in a thorn of knocking shops.

Yeah, well, he's branched out to legit health.

The hell have we got here?

Natasha.

Sorry, Anne. I need a place to stay.

I'm sorry it's yours, Roberta, but that's no reason to jump to conclusions.

Look, this has got nothing to do with Billy. Oh, how do you know that?

Please, Pamela, just calm down. Don't you patronise me.

I'm going to tell them.

Go on, then.

Make a fool of yourself.

You've got no right to lecture me on making a fool of myself after what

done.

Fine.

Do what you want.

I intend to.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude.

Not as sorry as I am.

You must forgive me.

This was a very difficult time.

Divorce was bad enough and now this.

I understand.

No, I'm afraid you don't.

Come on, I'll put on the kettle.

You ready to pump some iron?

Thought you'd never ask.

Well, well.

Matthew Burke.

Haven't seen you since Moses was a boy.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Billy Dunne. And your point is? He's a pal of yours, Eddie. You sure about

I'm very selective about my pals.

Drives a white transit. Been to Holland and back lately. Very flat, Holland.

And now he's disappeared.

And left a load of your calling card on his flat. The club's very popular.

Fitness is, as they say, the new black.

And how does all this fit in with the brothels you run on the south side?

We embrace diversity here.

Aye, we'll embrace this, Eddie.

We want Billy done, and if we have to keep coming back here, we will. With

uniforms next time.

See what your Pilates class make of that.

Inspector Ross!

What do you reckon this place costs?

Two, three million?

Five years ago, Eddie Nestor was selling tan car radios down the barren.

Suddenly, Scotland's answer to Jane Fonda.

Find out where the money came from.

What about you?

I'm with you, as Stuart's doing.

Let me know when you get anything.

Is the broadband be faster than yours?

That's it.

Surely you've got files on these people?

We do.

But this is different.

It's the Bayer group's Scottish chat room. Really?

And you're in plain clothes, I presume?

Yeah, I suppose.

It's just background.

They try and find out who they think.

Enforcer.

I used to laugh at these people. Now I think they might even manage to close

with Dan.

It'll break my father's heart.

Your father?

Yeah, he set us up in the clinic. Philip and I are just employees.

Tell him the truth.

Dad, you should just go home.

I'm not the owner.

I'm a glorified tea boy.

Cheers. If it wasn't for Walter, the clinic wouldn't exist.

Well, you owe him everything.

My wife died in childbirth and I wanted to do something for women's health.

Dad saw the need for a place women could go to.

Somewhere they knew they'd be listened to.

And that's what the clinic does?

It tries to, yes.

Sorry, am I interrupting you? No, not at all. We'll leave you to it.

If you need anything, Stuart, just give us a shout.

Thanks.

Well, it's nice to see you settling in.

They're good people, sir.

I'm no... I'm no bothering you here, am I, Stuart?

No, sir.

This might be useful.

It's the beer group's chat room.

You know, like a kind of virtual pub.

You can drop in.

Have a chat.

Find out what people think.

So I take it you've nothing to report, then?

Not yet.

Do you know what? Then this might help.

If I could get one of them to confide in me, sir... You're here to guard the

doctors. That is your first priority.

Yes, sir. Right, so get off that bloody thing and have a check round the place.

If there's anything else we can do... Actually, there was one thing.

Did Roberta ever mention a club to you?

The New Black?

No, never heard of it. Yes.

It's the new health club.

Pamela and Roberta are both members.

Oh, God, yes.

Wasn't that where Roberta met Billy?

I think it was.

Why do you want to know?

Oh, nothing. It's just background.

OK, thanks for your help. I'll see myself out.

Honestly, Dad, I'll be fine.

I'm going to my bed now anyway.

Now you lock the door behind me.

Good night.

Good night, honey.

I'm sorry. Oh, you're all right.

You're just doing your job.

Do you want a drink or anything?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Sleep well.

Good night.

Pamela! Pam, where are you?

Philip.

Where is she?

The garage.

Dr. Gardner, I'm so sorry.

Don't.

Please, don't say anything.

They killed her.

They killed her right in front of me.

Stuart, you mustn't blame yourself.

Well, who else is there?

Where's the boss?

Down there.

Well, it's good to know this job is still capable of surprise.

What is it?

I've loosened the rope here at the neck.

There are no surface contusions.

All marks are post -mortem. Meaning what?

Put simply, she was killed and then hung up here like a rabbit on a butcher's

hook.

And when did all this happen?

Sometime between one and three last night. I'll know more after the PM.

OK, thanks, Doctor.

OK.

Where's Stuart?

He's, er... He's over there.

He's pretty shaken up, sir. As well he might be.

Don't be too hard on him. Hard?

He was guarding this woman.

Look at her!

Look at her!

I think we'd do well looking at ourselves.

Oh, spare me the platitude. No, we were conspicuous by our absence here last

night, sir.

Stuart was on his own while we were off chasing health club owners. Stuart was

asleep at his bloody computer!

Now get him in a car and take him down the station.

If I talk to him now, I'll regret it.

Look, sir, I can understand why you're angry, but... You and you haven't got

slightest idea why I'm angry.

Would you let me finish for once?

Just once, sir. No.

No, look, I know that I'm as guilty as hell about this, but I was working last

night. I wasn't playing. I wasn't wasting time. I was working, sir. You're

right. You are as guilty as hell.

And now you're emotionally involved too.

Of course I'm emotional.

Pamela died while she was under my protection. Do you want to speak up a

don't think they heard that at the end of the street.

I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry.

I think you'd better take a few days off.

I'm fine, sir. I'm not making myself clear here, am I?

You're off the case. Take a break. Now!

You can't do this, sir.

Actually, I think you'll find I can.

Come on, boss, get a grip. No, you get a grip.

The last thing I need is some greased -up, pole -less wonder in the place

feeling sorry for himself.

He needs a break.

We all need a break. Just don't kid yourself you're doing it for his sake.

subject is closed.

I'm out of here.

See you later.

Stuart, I'll give you a call.

Aye, right.

Right, listen up.

God, he looks hellish.

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him. Have you got something you want to share

with us, Robbie?

Well, since you ask, yeah.

I mean, if we're all supposed to be so damn clinical and efficient, how come

we're not going straight in to lift that religious monkey at bear? Because we

need a watertight case before we move an inch. By that time, I might be too

late. Just remember, Cunningham's not the only one in the frame.

This man, Billy Dunn, we managed to make a link between him and the club owner

Nestle, yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'm pulling in every favour I've got in the sector.

I'm off to see about it just now. If he as much as buys a bag of chips, I'll

know about it. Good.

Jackie, did you check up on why Bernard Martin turned up at the hospital like

that? No, not yet.

Why not?

Because I'm supposed to be getting a match on that twine.

I've arranged a forensic briefing for you at half past.

Well, get on to Martin right afterwards.

Boss, you might find we'd all get on a bit better if you didn't send some of

best men on leave.

Hop in.

Come on.

I'm going your way.

Jackie's right.

You look like shit.

Cheers, Robbie. I feel better already.

Ah, don't worry about all of this.

Burke will calm down.

It's no big deal anyway getting suspended.

Aye, well, it's a big deal to me, okay?

Then I'm not suspended, I'm on leave.

Aye, right.

Listen, they're all blown over by next week. Trust me, I know about these

things.

Stuart.

Make sure you get a good kip tonight, eh?

How am I supposed to sleep?

Okay, ladies, what have we got?

Identical string for both murders.

And there's the ESDA report on the threatening letter.

Have a look at this.

This is the transparency of the letter from the shooting at the clinic.

You can see the word murderers here.

Look at the pattern up here.

I've got a match -up.

It was written on Bayer notepaper.

So... We picked them up now.

No, not yet.

Why? We need more to throw at them.

Last time they ran bloody rings round us.

Surely this is enough.

We're giving them time to sort alibis, hide evidence.

If it was them, they'll have alibis.

Come on, somebody must have seen something that'll help us.

I wondered when you'd be back.

Well, sorry to intrude, Mr. Renton.

You haven't brought your computerized colleague with you?

No. Just myself and Sergeant Reed.

Well, you'd better come in.

Poor Phil. He's in a hell of a state.

Look at him. He's falling apart.

I'm aware of that, Mr Ransom.

I shouldn't think you're too well either.

The time immediately after a murder can be crucial to finding the killer.

We know it's hard, but we need your help.

I can't remember.

What is it I meant to have seen?

Anything.

Anything at all, Mr Ransom.

What about when you left, when you drove out, for instance?

No, nothing.

There was no one.

The road was empty.

No cars or people.

A mini.

What mini?

There was a mini parked outside when I left. What colour was it?

Red. It was a red mini.

You were quick.

I only called you half an hour ago. What are you talking about?

The break -in. It's round here.

When did this happen?

Could have been any time in the last week.

I put the back of the store cupboard.

Nobody noticed it.

Not until today.

Convenient, wouldn't you say?

Anything missing?

Blank paper.

Plus the rifleder files.

But not your car.

I'm not with you.

Dr Pamela Gardner's been murdered.

We found her this morning.

Your mini was parked outside their house last night.

Here we go.

It's parking a crime now. Listen, chum, I've seen your record.

Do you want to make it longer? Why not just lift me now, then, eh?

You know you want, eh? Tony, for God's sake.

Just show it to them.

Meet me outside the gardener's place 12pm tonight.

You'll learn something to your advantage.

So what did you learn?

They didn't show.

I left about 12 .30.

Can you prove it?

I put my car in the garage.

You can check the cameras if you like.

Oh, we will.

Where did this come from?

The website.

Someone wanted Audrey close to that house.

It's a pop account.

We can't trace it.

Maybe you can.

We'll try.

Trace it?

I can't trace it.

You've got rid of the only guy in the department that could.

For God's sake, Jackie, there's a whole tech support team upstairs. Give it to

them. So, you didn't bother lifting them?

No, they reckon they were being framed. Aye, right.

No, looks like they might have a point.

Well, in that case... What's this?

Two years ago, Nestor was implicated in the trial of a Dr Roy Barry.

Yeah, I remember this guy.

He's a GP in Yorker.

I think he got three years for fake prescriptions.

Pharmaceutical cocaine and anabolic steroids.

He was supplying Nester?

Uh -huh. I've checked with the drug squad. They can't prove anything, but

was blackmailing the doctor.

Set him up in a sauna and bled him dry.

Does that say anything about Dunn? No, they know about Billy, but there's

nothing linking him to this.

Well, Roberto was a doctor with access to drugs.

Oh, wait a minute. Let's not jump to conclusions here. Oh, come on, boys.

She's a member of Nestor's health club and she's gone out with Billy, his right

-hand man. Means nothing.

Jackie, sort out that email and get back on to the witness statements. I want

everything checked and double -checked.

I thought I'd just see how you're doing.

Feeling great.

Just great.

There's something that's been worrying me, Stuart.

It's just not like you to fall asleep like that.

I was wondering if maybe you should have a blood test.

Aye, now you are having a laugh. No, no, I'm serious.

I mean, did you feel strange?

I'm not looking for excuses.

I screwed up.

I should just accept it, okay?

Just a simple test.

Might just put your mind at ease.

It'll look as if I'm trying to shift the blame. Yeah, but nobody needs to know,

Stuart.

Will I get it authorised?

Call you?

And I promise you it's just between us.

Fine, Jackie.

Good.

I'll give you a call.

I really don't want to talk about any of that.

It's all forgotten.

Please, Mr Barry, it's important.

He said it started at Nestor's club.

Okay.

Okay, so I went along there one night with a few mates.

Bought some champagne.

There was a hostess.

Got me drunk.

I don't know.

Nestor let me off for the bill.

He knew you were a doctor?

Oh, he knew, all right.

Actually, I liked him.

He was a laugh.

But he just used me.

Three months later, I'm 30 grand in debt to him. And he offered you a way out?

Aye. A way to clear it all.

Forging scripts for pharmaceutical coke.

I'd be amazed at how cheap it is that way.

Did you deal with Nestor direct?

I don't get you.

Do you recognise him?

No. Sorry.

Who is he? You sure?

Never seen him before.

Honestly.

All right.

Thanks for your help.

Mr Barry.

Do you mind me asking?

Why wouldn't you testify against Nestor in court?

Why do you think?

I'd lost my job.

I didn't want to lose my life as well.

Come on,

it's only me.

Is Billy here?

No, he was.

Well, where is he now?

I don't know. He left, but...

Chat Park.

I'm a bit scared of heights.

Upstairs. Now.

Billy Boy.

Good to see you. Hi, Eddie.

All sorted?

Well, it's been a bit difficult.

Really?

Sorry, I'm just smiling here because you told me it was going to be easy.

And quiet.

I know I did, Eddie.

It's a bit of a drop, eh?

Could make a real mess.

You fell.

It's all right, Billy. Relax.

See, I know you won't let me down.

I won't, Eddie.

Honestly. It's just that there's people around that are worried you might be out

of your depth.

That you're making me promises you can't fulfil.

It's going to be fine.

I know it.

Then get on with it, Billy.

And without any publicity.

You know how shy and retiring I am.

Sure, Eddie.

And hey, Billy!

You've got nothing to worry about.

Yet.

Involved? With that club owner, Nestor?

Roberta and Pamela, nonsense.

We've discovered that Nesta corrupted doctors in the past.

My wife and Roberta were not corrupt, believe me.

Mr Gardner, we're just trying to find out if there was any connection between

them and the club. To hell with you! All we're asking is if you ever saw your

wife talking to Nesta. No.

Never.

Now get off my property.

This has gone far enough to insult the memory of the dead like this. Please,

doctor! Get out of my house.

Get out!

If you want to talk to me, you can do it through a lawyer.

Get out!

You know, I don't blame him.

What the hell kind of job is it where you have to ask a man questions like

about his dead wife?

Yeah.

So where do we go from here?

Well, let's bugger all we can do till we find Billy done.

Jackie, yes?

What?

OK, we'll come right back.

Pam and Roberta were both involved in a fatal car crash while they were at

college. So?

Bear with me, sir.

A male student was also in the car. He was killed in the crash.

Roberta was driving, Pamela was in the back seat, but they claimed that the boy

was drunk and caused the crash. They got off scot -free.

So, what are you saying, that they colluded here and someone killed them

revenge or something?

Yeah, well, I suppose that makes more sense than women like them being

with drugs and nester.

Hmm.

Who's the victim?

Thomas Martin.

He was 21 when he was killed.

Now, let's take a reality check here, Jackie.

This is years back. What makes you think this is worth spending any time at all

on?

Because this was a boy's father.

I've been expecting you.

Your Thomas was a school duck.

First in our family to go to uni.

To have a son that was going to be a doctor, it was like... What

happened the night you died?

Well,

they'd all been at a dance.

He was in the car with Pam and Roberta.

He'd been drinking.

They pulled you at the wheel for a joke.

And they crashed.

And that was it?

How did you feel?

Like the future had died.

It's like your life had been... Like your life had crashed.

I met Pam and Roberta at the funeral.

It wasn't their fault. They'd done their best. They were very kind.

So... What did you do?

Me?

I just kind of crumbled.

I'm no strong.

Started on the juice, kept at it for about five years.

Mr Martin, you have no alibi for either of these murders.

Alibi?

They two lassies dragged me out of the gutter. Literally.

The doctors did?

Roberta dragged me out. Pamela... Pamela got me the job.

They helped me to face things.

I owe them everything.

They were wonderful people. I couldn't arm a single hair on their heads.

Mr Martin, I don't believe you. I don't care what you believe.

It's the truth.

The God's honest truth.

It's also true you were a member of the Rippin' Gun Club.

Weren't you?

Well, what's that got to do with it? A shotgun was stolen from that club in

1998.

The same gun that was rigged up to kill Dr Gardner.

You stole that gun.

You stole that gun and then you used it to revenge your son's death.

No! No, you're wrong!

I did steal it, but it was for me.

I was going to kill myself.

I just couldn't go through with it.

The last I knew, that gun was still in my shed.

Do you believe him?

You think my heat button's up the back?

He's at it.

What's this? Something to cheer us up? Certainly is.

Blue binder twine. Yeah, but according to Sheila Crombie, it's 60 % nylon, 40 %

polypropylene. Same stuff as the gun and the noose. Where was it?

Martin's shed.

Life's strength is common as muck. No, not quite.

This colouring batch makes up 2 % of national production.

That makes it very uncommon.

You're going to jail, Mr Martin.

You can't prove a thing. You had the opportunity.

The motive, the murder weapon, and now this. Wouldn't he hurt anybody?

Least of all them.

Wouldn't he? So who would?

Who are you protecting?

We've got a mountain of evidence here, Mr Martin.

Now start talking or you'll be arrested for both murders. Do you understand me?

I can't.

Read on the charges, Jackie.

I can't believe you did it.

He's like a second son to me.

Went to school with my Thomas.

Who did?

Billy.

Billy Dunn.

I knew this would happen, working for that bastard Eddie Nestor. So Billy was

definitely working for Nestor?

Aye.

Driving messages, you name it.

He was trying to go straight, but Nestor had his hooks into him.

There was trouble about prescriptions.

Prescriptions? Aye, drugs. I don't know what. He wouldn't tell me.

Is that why Billy quarrelled with Roberta?

That seemed to be the last straw.

I think Billy took the gun.

I think he killed them both.

I think he shut them up for Nestor.

Dr. Gardner.

You're still trying to take me to my wife of corruption.

But as if so, you can leave now. I'd like to find out why she was killed.

Then at least we agree on something.

Would you mind if we take a look at your controlled drugs register, Dr. Gardner?

Oh, I see.

So they were drugs runners now, were they? Dr Gardner were trying to help.

I know.

I know.

Look, I'm just trying to keep things together here. We appreciate that.

I've no objections.

The CDR's through here.

Morning, Bernie.

Hi, Jo.

Here we are.

Excuse me.

Yes, Robbie.

It's a double entry system.

All checked in, all checked out.

So who all has access to this? Well, all three of us.

But Roberta and Pam too.

What is it?

Is there a date on it? Well, they took care of the ordering.

But I'm sure there's nothing sinister about that.

Good, yeah.

Yeah. Well done. I'm sure you're right.

OK, Robbie, I'll be right up.

Sorry, Doctor, I'll have to go.

DS, we'll go through the records with you. Of course.

Sir?

Something important?

I'm actually running a tad late for an appointment at one of my other

establishments. In!

Methyl amphetamine, 25 to 200 milligrams.

And ketamine, 1500 mil capsules. What on earth have you used this for?

I've never prescribed it in my life.

Pharmaceutical cocaine?

Morphine?

Almost 50 units.

God's sake, what's going on here?

It's absolutely vital that we get the details of all of this correct.

There must be a logical explanation.

Yeah, well, if we get it all recorded, then we can start working out what's

really going on.

Oh, that Billy Dunn.

Must have been on the same plane.

Small world, eh? Don't give me that.

You're practically holding hands.

I was doing some market research in Amsterdam, as I recall.

And on the same ferry.

Three times in as many months. I try to get the odd weekend break away now and

then. This weather fear gets you down, don't you find?

Billy Dunn's working for you. And he's up to his neck in all this.

Those women doctors met him here, didn't they? All sorts of people meet here.

I'm not a dating agency.

Oh, you're a lot more than that, Eddie.

See, we've just spoken to a Dr Roy Barry.

Rings a bell.

Did you not get struck off or something?

You blackmailed him and he's applying you with drugs. I think you'll find

was only one name on the charge sheet. His.

The next charge sheet you see will be for a double murder. Then you'll need to

come up with something more than holiday snaps to make anything stick on me. Oh,

I intend to. Why not ask Billy? Done.

He seemed to be the man with all the answers.

Where is he now, then?

Hanging from my lip.

I'll wipe that grin off your face.

You know, you're looking a bit peaky, Matt.

How no come in and get a full health check?

I bet you'd look great in lycra.

Not as good as you'll look in berlinny.

Well, he's right about one thing, boss.

Until we get to Billy Dunmore's stymied.

Which is why I want him found and quick.

What's all this?

I think you should take a look at this, sir.

As far as we can tell, they've been falsifying receipts.

Hiding deliveries.

And how did you never spot it?

They used to do the audit on a Friday.

My day off.

Pam used to joke it was the only time she got any peace.

All checks out, sir.

It's taken me for a complete fool.

How much is all this worth?

Well, it's impossible to say.

I've gone to the drugs companies. They'll be a couple of days, but

thousands.

Well, at least we're getting to the bottom of this.

Are we?

I hope so.

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

We're doing everything we possibly can, believe me.

Can I confide in you, Inspector?

Afternoon.

knew Pamela for almost 15 years.

I'm not speaking as her husband here, but as a doctor.

Never once did she give me the remotest reason to suspect her of anything but...

But what?

Roberta?

Roberta was wild.

She tried anything, and I mean anything.

If Pam did get involved in something, Roberta would have been the one behind

Well, thanks for that.

Dr Gardner, can I have a word?

I have nothing to say to you.

Nothing.

I just wanted to say how sorry I was.

Well done, Stuart.

You can't just sit at home.

I wanted to find out what was going on, sir.

Look, I can understand your feelings, but please.

Do us all a favour and keep out of this.

Go home.

I think you're making a big mistake here, boss.

We should go in and arrest Nestor now.

And if he just clams up, then what?

Then we kick his arse till he talks.

You start to sound like him.

Yeah, well, it's better than sitting doing nothing. Really?

Well, it might make you feel better, but we'll get nowhere.

Well, then you're stuck either way. Why?

Because if Nestor was using those doctors to get drugs, then he silenced

only two witnesses that would ever speak.

Oh, well, that's why you're wrong.

There's one more witness.

Billy Dunn. Yeah, prepared for you.

I don't know.

Well, we just found his van.

Get in.

Touch anything? No, sir. Right, get the theory I taped off.

No sign of any other prints?

Well, there's none that I can see.

I mean, we will do a full photographic audit.

I can tell you this, though. There's hardly any blood, so he was shot

else, then brought here and dumped.

Killed and dumped? Like Pamela. And the weapon?

Shotgun. Surprise, surprise.

Right above Nestor's club.

Yeah, needless to say, he saw nothing.

You think he's trying to tell us something?

Aye. Cocky bastard, that's what he's telling us. I don't know.

Think he's stupid enough to top somebody above his own club?

Jackie, Nestor got what he is by being violent, not clever. If he was clever,

wouldn't even know his name.

What length is this van?

What?

The van, to here. What length?

Eh, 12, 13 feet.

Inside? Oh.

I'd say 10 or 11.

Get a picture of this.

Something here. Something at the door.

Shelf.

Cigarette? Alcohol?

A comb.

A hair sling?

Wait a minute, they're coming out.

Coin.

L -E -K -E.

Leckie. Where's that from?

I think that's Albania.

It's not alcohol or drugs they're smuggling.

It's people.

Smuggling people.

Mr Martin.

I'm afraid I've got some very bad news.

They killed Billy.

That bastard Nester.

I told Billy, keep away from him.

Mr Martin, I've not got time to pussyfoot around here.

We believe Pam and Roberta were killed because they wanted out from Nester's

clutches. I knew they'd done the same to Billy.

Listen to me.

We think Billy was helping with smuggling girls for his clubs.

I know.

Then help us prove it.

Please. Help us get one step ahead of him and catch him.

For Billy.

There's somebody you need to meet.

Natasha, it's me.

Open up.

Come on, this can't wait.

Billy, tell me not to speak.

Billy's not coming back, Natasha.

Billy's gone.

Natasha.

Do you know this man?

Don't make me see him.

No.

Please, sir, don't. What did they do to you?

Tell me.

I'll deal with this man, I promise.

In Amsterdam, they make us sleep in the van.

Take blue pills.

And when we wake, we were at club.

Club? Yes.

Pink light.

Not a good club.

A bad club.

A club with men.

So how did you end up here?

I get pregnant.

No use for men.

They make me... They make me lose baby.

And then I ill.

Very ill.

Billy, he help me.

He look after me.

I have no passport.

And no papers.

There are many, girl.

Many.

Please.

Don't take me back to him.

Please.

Will you help us, Natasha?

Yeah, it's a bit difficult at the moment.

We're on to something.

Listen, this is important.

Yeah, so is this.

I'll call you later.

Don't bother.

Just forget it, okay?

Yes.

Yeah, that's right.

Listen. I don't care about the budget. I just need the bodies.

I need an address for this Notre Dame.

Look, Scott, this won't take long.

I have got other things to do here, Stuart.

Look, if the guy's not there, I can't do anything.

I need him online.

And there's no other way. You can't just hack into the back or something.

I need five shortwave walkie -talkies right now.

And all the usual crap you give us, eh? Garbage in, garbage out, Robbie.

What the hell are you doing here?

I need a favour.

You'll need a lawyer if the gaffer finds you. Well, you tell him I'm going to

have an address for him.

The person at the heart of Bea who knows the truth.

Notre Dame.

Notre Dame?

Stuart, you need to get out more. I've seen the messages on the website.

There's a group within Bea that wants to eliminate all pro -abortion doctors.

I'm this close to finding out who. Get a grip, son. You're way out of the loop,

believe me.

What's his problem? He's technophobic.

You two, round the back.

Nobody move!

This way.

Are you aborted in your hand, Willard?

Since you ask, yes.

You are systematically importing young girls from Eastern Europe, aren't you?

Smuggling girls?

Where do you think I keep them?

Behind the curtains.

Get a life.

Oi! Get Engelbert, then, here, then tear this place apart.

You're going to regret this, Burke.

I've got powerful friends.

Really?

The city needs men like me. The city needs you like a bucket needs shite.

Careful of the merchandise, darling.

Well?

My lawyers will be on to this in the morning.

No doubt.

All right, Natasha, in you come.

Hey, now, wait a minute.

Don't worry about him. You keep quiet, darling.

Is this the man?

Him. It's him.

He drag girls, take papers, he do it. You stupid bitch. Get him out of here.

Listen, Stuart.

Come on, Scott, five more minutes.

Sorry, mate, you'll have to go.

Quick, keep him talking.

Come on, come on.

Got it.

How's the address?

Great.

All you have to do is fill in the requisition and... you're away.

We discovered that customs and excise were double -checking all vehicles for

fags and booze.

But ten vans got caught in one week.

That's how I got the idea of the false wall.

You bring in 5 ,000 fags, a couple of crates of booze, and you declare it.

Go on.

I got one of my lads to rig it up with a joiner and we tried it out.

So what happened?

It's a nightmare.

The lasses went mental in there.

Screaming, bawling.

We almost got caught.

So we had to be sedated.

Aye.

And that was how it started.

Billy Dunn told me he could get me the gear, right?

What gear?

The wee blue pills.

Amethyl something.

I don't know.

Sodium amethyl. Aye, that's it.

Sodium amethyl.

So Dr.

Payton and Dr. Gardiner supplied them?

I didn't know where he got them from.

It was Billy's gig, not mine.

The supply dried up.

He had problems.

He told me it was political.

What do you mean?

He said it was those protesters.

He knew something.

And then he ends up dead, right above your club. Oh, for fuck's sake.

Listen, I'm no some weenie -affraid -of -bad -ass with the earth hanging out of

his trousers.

Do you honestly think I'd top him and then leave him in the van for you to

Those women doctors were killed for the jobs they did.

And Billy knew who had done it.

So that's it? No, it damn well isn't.

If there's no him, then who the hell is it?

The guy in the nest said it was political.

Yeah, but he could be lying. Why?

Why should he?

There's something else going on here.

I'm going to Bay's headquarters.

I want you to go back through everything.

So what am I looking for? Now, the hell do I know?

What's wrong?

Well?

Where did you get this?

You've been fooling us all along, haven't you?

It's not like that, Tony. You filthy conniving... I

finished

the drugs order.

Thanks. Just hand it in there, would you?

Have you arrested that club owner yet?

We're questioning him now.

Thank God.

Look, I have to tell you, we're not entirely certain that he's responsible.

What do you mean?

I thought he was your prime suspect.

All I can say is that all lines of inquiry are still open.

There's going to be no end to this. I can't sleep for worry.

We're going to sort this, Doctor, trust me.

We will sort it.

I'm over here.

What the hell happened here?

It's all fallen apart.

Everything. Who did this?

Who was it?

It's Tony. He's cracked up.

Cunningham? I thought this place was his life.

We had a discussion about tactics.

He's accused me of selling out.

Why? Why would he say that?

He's obsessed.

Obsessed enough to kill.

We believe in the sanctity of life. That's not what I asked you.

I think... I think he's capable of anything.

Robbie, I want you to dig out Tony Cunningham's file.

What part of the file? Everything.

I want to know everything.

Friends, family, addresses, associates, the lot.

Why are you back on to him? I've just been down at Bay's headquarters.

Cunningham's gone berserk and trashed the place.

There's some kind of split in the group.

Shit.

What?

Just start looking.

Now. Look, we can deal with this. Shut up.

I know why you're here.

They sent you to arrest me, didn't they?

Didn't they? No, they didn't. You're lying.

As God is my witness.

Do not dare take the name of the Lord in vain.

I'm here because of Our Lady.

What? Our Lady.

Notre Dame. You'd be bugging me.

Intercepting my emails, haven't you?

No!

No, listen.

Listen, I'm the enforcer. You're lying, bastard.

You've got to fit me up for this.

For heaven's sake.

It's just me. I did it on my own. Do you seriously expect me to believe that?

Look, I got suspended.

I'm not even on the case anymore. Why are you here? Because you told me you

who the killer was.

I do.

I do.

You've got to tell him.

I don't know, Jackie. He might be wrong.

Have you got anything?

Yeah, Robbie might have something.

What?

What is it, Robbie?

Eh, it's just Stuart. He told me he might be on to the killer. Just forget

Stuart. He knows damn all about this.

The thing is, boss, he was here up at technical support.

He was what? Yeah, he said he'd got a lead on someone in the Bayer group and

that he could get a name off the website.

And you said nothing? Oh, no.

No, I told him to leave.

And did he?

No.

If you let him get involved in something, he has to help me. You'll

Robbie. I mean it.

Come on.

Where's Fraser?

He's gone. I can see that.

I don't suppose you know where.

Notre Dame.

He's going to visit Notre Dame.

Listen, the longer you hold me, the worse this is going to be.

Worse? Who could be worse than this?

I've crossed the Rubicon, brother.

My judgment shall be by a far higher power than yours. Calm down.

Nobody knows about this.

We can just forget all about it.

Liar! You said you were on your own! No!

Why are you doing this to me?

Stop telling the truth!

Any joy? He's gone.

I've got an address.

Me and the boss are going to check it out. You get over to Stuart's flat. OK.

Robbie, I'm the... Let's go.

25 is on the right here, boss.

Stuart.

Stuart, are you in here?

Not a damn.

We don't know if he even got here. He got here all right.

That's his phone.

I'm getting an awful bad feeling about this. I want an all -points bulletin

Find Fraser's car.

Tony, come on!

Come on, Tony, let me out!

Suck it, you!

Ouch. There's no need for this, Tony.

Ouch.

What's she doing?

DS Reid.

Yeah.

Are you sure about that?

Maybe we're looking at this from the wrong way round. How do you mean?

Cunningham's an anti -abortionist, OK?

Now, that's motive for killing the two doctors, but no for Billy Dunn.

Yeah, I don't know. It has to be Cunningham. I mean, he's just kidnapped

Aye, OK. But you know one thing I've never got?

Why do two doctors who have dedicated their entire lives to the welfare of

start supplying drugs for some human trafficking scam?

You sent that letter to Tony, didn't you?

Did I?

Why would you want to do that?

Well, it explains your self -hatred.

This insane personal vendetta of yours. I believe in this campaign.

This isn't personal.

I had to bring you here.

No one would have believed me.

Look at this.

What is it?

It's a medical report from that clinic.

Audrey was a patient. She had an abortion.

Consulting doctor was Philip Gardner.

All the time we were doing this for the cause.

She was doing it for herself.

Killing them for herself.

Sir.

They've got the results on Stuart's blood test the night of Pamela's murder.

What blood test?

Yeah, well, he didn't want me to mention it.

He thought it looked like as if he was making excuses.

But he was drugged that night.

He was out for the count.

That's why he didn't wake him up.

And I thought he was a lazy so -and -so.

So who could have drugged him?

What is this?

Why did you ask me to come here?

What are you doing?

This isn't me, Audrey.

This is you.

You've done this.

You're setting me up.

It was you, wasn't it?

You killed your wife.

Not very effectively.

For God's sake, give me your phone, Tony. No, I want you to see this. In the

name of the mercy of Christ, please.

Do you want another murder in your conscience?

But I'll get the blame.

They'll blame me. I swear they won't.

I believe in you, Tony.

Please, believe in me.

Just give me your phone.

Please.

Yes. Sir, it's me. I'm outside the clinic.

I know who the killer is.

Hurry back up now.

The clinic!

All units to the clinic, now!

She'd opened her own door in the first place.

This would all be finished by now.

And we'd get the blame.

Why?

the retirement fund, supplying drugs to a club owner, helping him with his

product.

Pam found out.

She was going to tell everybody.

I'd have been struck off.

Lost everything.

I knew I could blame you and your organisation and get away with it.

You won't.

I will.

Code 21, officer requires urgent assistance.

GHT clinic, Kelvin Circus.

After you came here, crazed with revenge.

you've done.

You're mad.

I think you'll find you're the one who's found to be

mentally unstable.

Drop it, fella.

Thank God you're here.

She pulled a knife on me. He's lying. Look, she's gone mad.

I can't let her go. Can you get to my drugs cupboard? Please.

I just heard everything you said.

You drugged me that night, didn't you?

No.

Where is this bastard?

You're surrounded.

It's over.

Over here, now!

Give me the knife.

Stuart, leave it!

Please.

Thank you.

Come on.

Let's get you sat down.

So.

So.

I'll feed you to work on Monday.

Yes, sir.

Right.

Was that a well done then?

I think that's about as close as you'll get, mate.

Come on.
