Original subtitles

I love you.

Morning, sir.

Andrew Nye, 39, mechanic.

Married with kids. Was working late.

No witnesses, no CCTV.

Great. Who found the body? His wife. Lived next door. Jackie's with her.

Magnus? Morning.

What, night, Robbie?

No. I was in watching TV, actually.

Oh, my, thank you.

Interesting, though.

It's controlled.

Directive flame.

Intentional. Definitely.

Steady hand, no heart.

That smell gets to me.

Yeah, me too.

Section of throat, doesn't it?

Sir, I've spoken to his wife.

She's very upset.

She's with some friends.

All right, we'll tread softly.

Robbie, you stay here. Give your stomach a chance to catch up.

Well, thanks.

Stuart!

That's the victim's brother, Neil.

Have a wee chat with him soon.

OK. Speak to you later.

Bye.

Mr Nye.

Excuse me.

Is this a DPI book?

Tony Benton.

He co -wins the garage with Andy.

This is my wife, Karen.

Must have come as an awful shock.

We can't believe it's happened.

We came straight over for Mags.

She's telling the kids.

I haven't done that.

Andy was the solid one.

It was always me in trouble.

What makes you think he might have been in trouble?

It's been murdered.

That counts, doesn't it? He didn't have any problems?

Any worries of any sort?

Not that he told me.

Seemed fine.

And he would have told you?

Definitely.

We've always been close.

Sorry.

He was always there for me.

My big brother, you know.

I can't think of anything, really.

It's all right.

It might not be anything.

You said your husband spent most of his time with his business partner, Tony

Benton.

Yeah, they were best friends.

They worked together before they set up the garage.

I think Tony's almost as upset as I am.

Was there anyone else Andy spent time with?

Confided in, maybe?

What about his brother, Neil?

Were they close?

Not recently, they didn't... They'd had a row.

What about?

Neil's a gambler.

He always has been.

He'd rather bet on a horse than do an honest day's work.

And your husband disapproved?

Gave up on that a long time ago.

Neil wanted to borrow some money.

Andy said no for once.

Did he owe someone?

Probably.

Do you know who?

I bet it's not a bank.

Our victim here was strung up so he couldn't escape, then burnt.

Right.

I doubt if one person could have managed that.

Could he have been knocked out first?

Oh, no.

He was still conscious when he was bruleed.

He did seem a bit edgy.

But then again, he's just lost his brother.

It seems, though, you didn't mention them falling out, though, did you? I

just be embarrassed.

Work check, I'm sure.

Anything new?

Yeah, the two killers.

You're sure?

Magnus thinks one of them strung him up. What's the other did the cooking?

So he was tortured to death?

A gold star for you, Stuart.

No, but unless it was random, he was executed.

Yeah, but why?

All right, we'll go through everything. Everybody who knew him, everywhere he

went.

Robbie, talk to your low -life friends. See if they've heard anything.

OK.

Thanks, darling.

Mr. Ross.

Now, why am I not surprised?

Why did you not come to me? Because I knew you'd come to me, Arthur.

This must be a record.

I only started putting the word out about half an hour ago. I can help.

Sure you can.

Do you want to get on my road, Arthur?

But I can help.

Really. Last time you said that and you arrested a corpse. I was misinformed. So

was I, apparently.

They're back.

Who are they?

You're sure it's there?

Yeah, hard to mistake.

Rented a house in Burnside.

Why would they want to kill a mechanic?

He had a garage bill recently.

They had a party the night he died and tortured Burrain apart.

That's it?

Well, the word is they did it, but nobody knows why.

All right, let's go and find out.

Can I come? Be quite something to meet at Callaghan's. This is a murder

son, not an autograph hunt.

You want to make yourself useful, talk to the brother.

We need to know who he owes.

Hello again.

I'm sorry to bother you. Do you mind if I come in? Not at all.

See what I'm doing here? I'm cutting these off.

Why are you cutting them off? Why are you cutting them off? Because it's all

dead and it's useless.

He wanted to keep busy, but your lot won't let him back in at work.

I'm sorry, we're still checking forensics.

Sure you won't have any?

No, thanks, I'll find them.

Copy? Right.

Is that still working?

No, no, it's done.

What did you do?

He fell after one too many.

Have you arrested anyone?

No.

Not yet.

Do Miss and I have any problems or worries of any sort?

Not that I know of.

What about the business?

There's no problem there.

You're sure?

Of course I'm sure.

I just need you to think, is there anything that might have made Andy an

Nobody'd want to kill Andy.

Well, it happened.

Surely he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

No, it's not looking like that at the moment.

So what exactly happened then?

Nobody's told us.

I have a right to know.

Andy was tortured.

It was slow and deliberate.

It wasn't an accident or a joke that went wrong.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

I was battered.

Tony! Daddy!

He's just upset about Andy, darling. It's OK.

I'm sorry. It's a shock.

They really were close.

If you do think of anything, anything at all, will you give me a ring?

I'll see myself out.

Oh, aye.

Kojak meets the A -Team.

Gentlemen.

Mr Callaghan.

I'm D .C .I. Buck. This is D .I. Roy.

Nice wee place you have here.

Yes, isn't it?

We might make the owner an offer he can't refuse.

Come through.

Archie, our visitors have arrived.

Please.

Ah!

Lovely to meet you fellas nowadays.

I'm sorry I'm not with you.

Oh, he means now that we've paid our debt.

You've no idea how many distressing conversations we've had with colleagues

yours in the glory days.

Yes.

We really should stop calling them that.

There's the tea, love.

There we are.

There we come.

Well?

Gentlemen, this is our Auntie Betty.

Come on, sit down.

Would you like something to drink?

Uh, no.

I think I might have a peppermint tea.

Are you sure, Mr. Burke?

Quite sure. And how about you, Detective?

No, he doesn't want one either.

Now, can we get on with this, please?

Of course.

How can we help?

We're investigating a murder.

Where were you yesterday evening?

Why? Where do you think we were?

Your cooperation would be appreciated.

Who were they?

Andrew Nye and Tony Benton. They ran a small garage.

Andy was found murdered in the early hours of this morning.

Do you recognise him?

I can't say I do.

No.

Who did you say the other guy was?

His business partner, Tony Benton.

Do you recognize him, Jed?

No.

Tragic ways, though, hey?

Where were you last night from 7 p .m. onwards?

Tiny, would you mind?

Just helping by.

There's me and Auntie Betty.

There's Archie and Auntie Betty.

There's Auntie Betty doing a bit of a turn.

Past 70, and she can still sing like an angel.

Oh, there's Archie. I'm not here to look at photographs of your relatives, no

matter how talented they are. You asked where we were last night, and there's

your answer.

At Auntie Betty's birthday party.

They look like a nice family.

Like butter with an email.

So do you believe them?

Robbie's checking out the restaurant where they had the party.

So, what did you call me?

Got to cheer you up.

What, you got something in the murderers?

No, but plenty on our mechanics.

The number plates are false.

And where has it been that it shouldn't have been?

It's been flagged for a robbery.

Kelvin Club.

Took out the bouncer's eye? The very one.

Mrs Benton, are you all right? Is Tony here?

No. Why, what's happened?

He didn't come down after you left. He said he was going for a drive, but he

hasn't come back.

Well, he was very upset.

Yeah, but we were going round to see Mags. He promised her. And he's not

answering his phone. He always has it switched on.

Something's happened. I know it has.

Every Wednesday and Friday, that table in the corner.

Andy and Tony always stop at five.

Neil, he'll keep going for as long as they'll pay for him.

Have they been in this week?

No. I'm not surprised.

He had a wee falling out on Friday.

A falling out?

Andy decked Tony.

I'd never seen him as much as with his eyebrows before.

Do you know what it was about?

Probably just a drink talking.

They were all pretty tanked up.

And they've not been in since?

Only Neil.

He wouldn't tell me what the fight was about.

He was too wrapped up in himself.

How do you mean?

He sat over there in that corner all night, nursing a pint.

Kept on saying it might be his last one.

What do you think he meant by that?

Owed somebody.

Said as much.

Actually, he looked pretty worried about it.

Missed a bit.

The restaurant's on the wrong side of respectable, but they swear the

Callaghan's were there.

Oh, right, but they could have paid somebody else to do it for them,

they?

What's all that about?

Tony Benton's disappeared.

Plus, the car our victim was working on was used in the Kelvin Club robbery.

So Benton's run to ground.

That's my thinking, too.

But why?

Guilt? Or fear he's next?

Sir,

Karen reckons the business was straight, and she's adamant that Tony'd been

hurt. No, he didn't touch his neck.

Stuart, tell me you found the brother. Not yet.

The landlord of the pub they drink in says that Tony Benton and the dead man

a fight last Friday.

Well, that's news.

Benton made out they were virtually holding hands.

I don't think Karen's aware of this.

Andy and Tony branch out as the pot of armed robbery.

Andy bottles it, Tony panics, kills him to shut him up.

Yeah, but there was two killers, remember?

Maybe the brother's involved too.

Why do you say that?

He's in debt, which is the motive for the robbery.

Sounds frightening, too.

Could be him and Tony. Just got out of their debt.

So who's he frightened of?

I don't know.

The landlord said he seemed very worried.

All right, you and Robbie go and find him. Bring him in this time.

Sir, Benton remortgaged the house three months ago, raised 20 grand.

It's not looking good, Mr Benton.

Yeah, well, being in debt doesn't make you an armed robber or a murderer.

Yeah, but it might do, though.

I need to know more about it.

The fiver says she doesn't know her house has been remortgaged.

Yeah, well, I don't usually bet unless I know I'm going to win.

Mr Ross!

Oh, go away, Arthur.

I was right, though, wasn't I? The Callaghan's are back.

Aye, they're in town.

I told you. So you owe me.

Give them a birthday party for their auntie Betty so they'll owe you a piece

cake. It's a cover.

Got to be.

You bring me the proof. It'll be your birthday after.

Is that your contact?

He used to be good.

Of what exactly?

Let's just go find the brother, shall we?

We should call the hospital.

We have.

There's no one of Tony's prescription been admitted. I promise you.

Well, if he's not hurt, then he's trapped somewhere.

Let's take a seat, Karen.

But why aren't you out there looking?

Karen.

You think he's run off, don't you?

He wouldn't.

I know my husband.

Well, you didn't know that he'd remortgaged the house, though.

He probably didn't want to worry me.

He told you the business was doing well, didn't he?

It is.

Andy and Max had just booked a big holiday on the strength of it.

Let's talk about Andy for a wee minute.

Now, apart from the business, he and Tony were best friends, right?

Yes. So, what did they fight about last week?

What are you talking about?

Well, the landlord of the pub they both drink in said that Andy hit Tony.

That's ridiculous.

Well, he's got no reason to make it up.

But I would know if they'd had a fight. So what happened to his arm?

He fell. He had a beer too many.

And with that last Friday?

He did snap a few times over the weekend, but...

He said they'd lost a big contract at work, a minicab firm.

Did Andy really hit him?

Where were you when you found out that Andy had been murdered?

We were just getting up when the phone rang.

And how did Tony react?

How did he react, Karen?

He was shocked.

What are you saying?

Nothing. We're trying to help.

By calling my husband a murderer?

Nobody's saying anything of the kind, Karen. That's what it sounds like.

Where are you going, Carmen? To look for my husband.

Mrs Benton.

I see him. You'll give us a call.

Aye.

So where now?

Oh, your man's a gambler, isn't he?

Oh, sorry.

I'm a bit late.

Jackie.

Oh, where are we going?

The D .I. in charge of the Kelvin Club robbery wants to meet.

Might be able to plug a few gaps.

Yeah, well, I might even have words.

I think Karen Benton's right.

Her husband doesn't strike me as a killer.

Well, if not, he's acting bloody oddly.

Yeah, well, he wanted to know how his friend died.

I mean, exactly how he died.

It means nothing.

If it was me, I'd want to know that, too.

Oh, no.

What?

Well, when I told him, he lost it.

How?

He said, those bastards.

You're sure he didn't mishear him?

No.

He's not our killer.

But he knows who is.

Pity we can't find him, we could ask.

Hardly rocket science, Robert.

The bookie's closer to the pub. I don't see you heading this way, Sherlock.

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Mr. Nye.

Mr. Nye, we need to talk to you.

Don't you... Come on!

Mr.

Nye! I haven't got the time, all right?

Why didn't you tell me you'd fall now with your brother?

Because it's none of your business.

Look. I owe someone.

Andy wouldn't help.

End of.

Who'd you owe?

I wish I knew.

Guy I borrowed from got taken over.

Payments looped. I need to get on.

They gave me till tonight and I don't want to get a doing.

Come on.

What did Tony Benton and your brother have a fight about?

That's nothing to do with Andy's death.

We need to know, Neil.

It was over mags.

Andy's wife.

Tony and her had a one -night stand.

Andy found out.

That's what the fight was about?

Yeah. Ross.

Can I go now?

We're not finished yet.

There's others you should strong arm way before me.

Like who?

Tony. Why'd you say that?

Just talk to him, alright?

Stuart, hold on Robbie. Now!

What is it?

My contact, Arthur McGee, is about to be led.

So you don't think our mechanics are your robbers?

No.

Hey, they're not around, though.

I could do with somebody to lean on.

Excuse me.

Hello? So nobody's talking?

Can't say I blame them with this mob.

You know who did it?

Oh, aye.

Probably this much chance of catching them, though.

The whole world knows these guys.

Legendary, in fact.

The Callaghan's.

Sir?

Tony Benton's car's been found at the Erskine Bridge.

He's jumped.

Well, it looks that way. No sign of a body as yet.

If it's the Callaghan's that are after him, I can't say I blame them.

I can hear something.

Arthur?

Oh, no.

You'll be okay now, Arthur.

We'll get you down, Robbie.

So what's so special about this one?

You lot usually couldn't care less.

Well, I hope this body provides some answers.

Doubt it.

Besides, we should have found him by now if he jumped yesterday.

A man goes over there, gets caught in the cross current, bobs around for a

then is dragged back up at high tide.

Are you sure?

He'd have his body by now.

So where is he?

Well, he's hardly been eaten by sharks.

He's not dead.

I didn't want you at the hospital. I don't want you here either.

It was the Callaghan's, wasn't it?

You can't let them get away with this, mate.

They already have.

We can put them away.

All we need is your statement. You'll be protected.

Do you think I'm stupid or something?

You need our help. I need the rest of my fingers.

Did you find out something?

Something about the murder, maybe?

Well, if I'm Arthur, I can't imagine what you've been through.

But there's a wife and two kids need to know who killed her daddy.

Look, I don't want you here. Just please go.

Gentlemen, you're back.

Now, why does that not surprise her?

Hello, boys.

Maybe you'd say that we did this somewhere else.

Ah, she won't mind.

Will you, Auntie?

Appreciate large little luxuries after all the time we've had to do without.

Well, you better make the most of it, then.

So, we weren't there and it wasn't done.

Isn't that the way these things go?

Now, relax.

You're old hands.

So are we.

How about a sandwich?

Passed off will make you whatever you like.

Auntie Betty here has a problem with one of her molars.

So they even cut the crusts off.

Make them into nice little fingers.

Nice touch, don't you think?

Aye. Yeah, that is a nice touch.

You're so clever, don't you, wee man?

Maybe I am.

I certainly know all the answers.

And doubtless you've got an alibi for late yesterday afternoon.

Um... Do you know a cat you can be bothered asking?

Hmm. How very refreshing.

I think we've been here before, haven't we?

I mean, what would I want with two mechanics?

Two.

Why are you talking about two?

Only one of them is dead.

Who's that, sir?

I take it you've heard about Tony Benton's suicide, then?

Grief does strange things to folk, Mr. Burke.

You should know that in your trade.

Robbie.

Oh, er... Just before I go, I know you think you're a couple of clever

but so am I.

And I'm very, very patient.

Understood.

He faked his own death.

Well, it's only explanation.

So he's hiding.

Yeah, but who from?

Us or the Callaghans? Of course, the Callaghans. I mean, we know they're

all of this. We just don't know why.

So Tony Benton's in debt.

Needs a few quid. Starts taking in dodgy motors.

Which puts them in touch with the Callaghans.

Yeah, but it still doesn't explain why they'd kill Andy.

Why Tony would try and disappear.

Any suggestions?

We find Mr Benton in us.

Does his wife know he's still alive?

No, she's still coming to terms with the fact he might be dead.

Then you'll be the bearer of glad tidings, won't you?

Stuart, you found the brother yet? I got away laid with Arthur and his missing

fingers. Shouldn't be taking as long as this, son.

Go on.

Give me your hand.

Are you sure?

No, as sure as I can be.

What am I supposed to tell her?

I'm sorry, I... I don't have an answer for that.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

Look, we know that Tony's connected in some way with this robbery.

The people he's dealing with, they're heavy.

Tony's straighter than I am. He won't even drop litter.

I'm not making this up, Kim.

Neither am I. Tony wouldn't help armed robbers.

So, have you had any more thoughts about the debts?

That makes no sense either.

Tony's not a gambler. He's not a spender either.

Trust be told, he's Mr Boring when money's concerned.

Well, £20 ,000 is a lot.

I know.

I thought I knew him.

Every inch of him.

I always reckoned we were telepathic.

So what's he running from, can you think?

Is there anything that might help us find out?

No.

Tony'll be back.

He wouldn't leave us.

Not like this.

I think you're missing the point.

But he's not dead.

You said so yourself.

No, he's not. But the truth is, he wants you to think he's dead.

You're wrong.

All right.

You need to work with me in this, Karen.

No, I don't.

The man you're describing is not my husband.

I'd like you to go, please.

My daughter needs me.

The boss is going to kill me.

Enjoy your drink.

Can you imagine?

You find the brother yet, Stuart?

No. But his pub serves a good pint.

Exactly. It's the man you're looking for's local.

Which he hasn't been seen in.

You boys for another?

No, I think he's had enough.

Please yourselves.

You're late again.

Only two minutes.

Well, hurry up. I've got to go to the bank.

Makes the boss seem almost cuddly.

Lads, why don't you have a word with Rosie about Neil?

She's Neil's girlfriend, aren't you, Rosie?

She's always attracted to losers.

See? That was worth a pint, wasn't it?

Ross. Rosie, have a wee word?

Look, we really need to find him.

I can't help you.

Neil went off first thing.

Where to?

Not sure.

Knock at the door. These guys just standing there.

Said they were old friends of Neil's.

And were they?

Not that I've ever met.

So where did they go?

Haven't a clue.

And you've never seen them before?

I think I'd remember.

How come?

They're both enormous.

A black guy and a white guy.

Result. Thanks.

My contract wants to meet. Great. Knock.

You're looking for the brother, remember?

You're not going by yourself, Robbie. You just get back to the office, mate.

Boss, Arthur McGee's just called.

How you feeling?

How do you think I'm feeling?

Stupid question.

Did you mean what you said?

You'll protect me.

My boss never says anything he doesn't mean right.

I'll help you get them.

But nothing on paper.

There's no way to come back to me understood.

All right, boss?

I found out I'd been asking around.

Didn't like it.

Did this to show everyone.

Who's everyone?

Everyone.

They want people to know not to mess with them.

For setting up shop?

Big time.

They've got a couple of bookies clubs in the choir.

An armed robbery as well?

Oh, I think that was just a bit of fun.

Guy who owns the Kelvin Club is just someone they don't see eye to eye with.

Is there anyone he'd done?

A dead man.

Andy Nye, was that that?

Well, I've seen it was, but no -one knows why.

The man was just a mechanic.

All right, so what are they up to?

This is nothing.

What do you mean?

There are still some people who won't do what they're told.

You mean they're going to hurt someone else?

Worse than that.

They're going to kill someone.

That approaches.

Copy that.

Victim's arrived.

Repeat, victim has arrived.

I wonder what he's done to deserve that.

I bet it's not even very much.

It's Neil Nye, the brother.

All right, we have to get in there right now. Going around the back.

Copy that. All units, go.

Go!

Police! Nobody move!

Hello,

boys.

Fancy a seat in the stalls.

You all right, Neil?

Aye. Fine, fine.

This is Jed's favourite film.

Although it's a bit too gruesome for my taste.

We heard about his brother.

We thought he could use a treat.

Are you sure you're all right, Mr Nye?

I'm fine.

Honest.

D .C. Fraser will see you.

Make sure to tell the knife officer how hospitable we've been, Neil.

Hello. Fancy a drink?

A spot of champagne, maybe?

Come on, Neil.

Arthur. Gentlemen.

I believe you know Arthur.

Terrible what happened to his hand.

We thought he could use the extra cash.

Isn't that right, Arthur?

Yeah, that's right, Mr. Callaghan.

Very general.

I'll be out in a minute.

Amy?

Where are you, sweetheart?

Amy?

Amy?

Dear, it's Reid.

Just take your time, Karen.

And you're sure she's been taken?

Don't worry, I'll be right there.

Tell her daddy.

He knows what we want.

She was in the garden.

I only turned my back for a second.

And you didn't see anything?

No. What does that mean?

All the cheerful people is everything.

How can I tell her daddy? He's not even here.

We need to think this through.

I don't understand.

What's Tony done to make this happen?

Have you ever heard of the Callagans?

They were in all the papers.

Tony said...

He used to live near them.

Do you think they're taking Amy?

Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry.

We're going to get Amy back.

I promise.

I promise.

I didn't get any sleep last night. I need a drink to sort me out. So it was

Callahan's that took over your debt?

I owed ten grand.

They turned it into twenty.

Did Tony owe them too?

Tony didn't owe anyone.

He got it to help me.

He remortgaged this house for you. Must be a pretty good friend.

Look, what is it, Neil? The one -night stand.

Him and Mags.

I blackmailed Tony.

Said I'd tell Andy unless he found me some cash.

I was really scared.

I know it's no excuse.

And what about the fight?

I needed more.

Tony wouldn't help.

He thought I'd just come out. What did you mean before?

That I should ask him about Andy's murder?

Look. I could arrest you for wasting police time.

You're usual, Neil. Aye.

What do you want? We don't have time for this.

All right.

Before he ran off, he stopped by mine.

He seemed really lost.

He kept saying he was sorry.

What for?

I don't know. I thought it was just grief.

But he kept repeating it.

And what do you think he was sorry about?

It was like he felt guilty.

Don't ask me why, though.

If Tony's feeling guilty, it must have caused the murder in some way.

He knew who the killers were too, remember?

He just kept saying sorry.

That's what the brother said.

What if they killed the wrong man?

How do you mean?

Well, what if it was Andy that wasn't supposed to die, but Tony? That's why he

faked his death.

He knew the Callaghans would realise the mistake and come after him.

Yeah, well, it makes sense.

If he used to live near them, he knows what they're capable of.

Callaghans have shut down their house and disappeared.

She's just a wee girl.

I'll get her back.

Yeah, but how?

If we don't know who the Callaghan's are... Well, if we can't find them, we

to find what they want.

Tony Benton?

How should I know where he is?

I thought I knew him.

But now?

Well, he's still Tony, Karen.

He's still the man you love.

I don't know him at all.

There are people prepared to take my daughter to get to him.

Still don't know why that is, though.

They tortured Andy to death.

Tony did something to cause that.

I need you to concentrate, Karen.

If I ever see him again, I'll do them a favour and kill him myself.

That's enough of that. That'll get us nowhere.

Our primary concern's your daughter, right?

Well, I'm going to be blunt with you.

Tony's going to try and get her back. Do you understand what that means, Karen?

They want Tony.

Not Amy.

They want him dead.

He's going to give himself up to them, isn't he?

Oh, God.

So that's why we need to find him before he manages to do that.

So let's start again.

Where would Tony go if he wanted to keep out of sight?

Think, Cara.

How do you get this timeline up again?

Either way.

You getting anything?

Nothing.

Nope. As far as she's concerned, the only places that Tony goes are his work

the pub.

We'll track him back to the mid -80s. The guy's simply a car mechanic.

I think we knew that, Robbie. Yeah, but before 1985, there's nothing.

You sure?

Records sent this fax through. It proves it. They've nothing on him. No tax, no

national insurance, nothing. He doesn't exist before 1985.

So, Tony Benton is not who he says he is.

Yeah, well, it still doesn't help us find him, though.

Well, if we can't find Tony, we're going to have to find the Callahans.

Robbie.

I'm coming.

Who is it?

Ghost.

Oh, fuck. Oh, the nappa.

Oh, do I smell sausages?

It's all about friends from childhood.

Was there anyone in particular?

I don't think so.

He never mentioned anyone.

Tony never talks about before us. He says his life was just boring.

What? I should know about his friends.

Shouldn't I?

His school.

Yeah.

Maybe.

What about his parents?

I told you they're dead.

Yeah, but where are they buried?

I don't know.

What, he's never been to visit them?

Something else, I don't know.

I'm sorry, Jackie, I can't think. I just keep seeing Amy's face.

Amy's the reason why you have to think. We have to find Tony.

But there's nowhere, though.

The only thing that matters to Tony is home.

Even when we go on holiday, he can't wait to get back.

Home, work and the pub. There's nowhere else. Not in the present and not in the

past, all right?

Time's running out, isn't it?

Yeah.

I'm afraid so.

They're using Amy to get to Tony.

How can he get her back if he doesn't even know she's gone?

See, I think of something.

And we find them.

These thugs even sniff police.

And Amy's dead.

Isn't she?

Look, we'd never made that mistake.

No, of course not.

You know, I could really use a cigarette.

Does anybody in here smoke?

Yeah, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Organic? You in funds or something?

The Callagans know how to look after people.

More than can be said for you two.

Oh, I don't know.

I'd rather have all my fingers than a bunch of posh bangers.

It's how it works.

All right, you give them your loyalty and you get to keep all your limbs.

So, Arthur, you're probably thinking, if I stick in the right side, I'll be

protected, right?

So, uh, how come we're here to arrest you in a murder charge?

What do you mean?

I don't do nothing.

I'm a mechanic.

Your friends Jed and Archie are going to let you take the rap for it.

What? Can't it be nice being a fall guy?

Sorry, Arthur, did you watch some of this?

You know I didn't do it. I wouldn't kill anyone.

You'd arrest someone, Arthur. Might as well be you.

No.

Maybe there's a way out of this, Inspector Ross.

How? Well, maybe if you could help us on another matter.

What? Well, it seems your new employers have kidnapped a wee lassie, Amy Benton.

I don't know anything about that.

Then find out.

Easy choice, Arthur.

Life for murder.

Or you cooperate.

I can't say we'll keep an organic sausages, but at least you'll see

Jackie, look at this.

Sorry, Stuart.

No time.

Karen Benton's gone.

Gone? I've got a funny feeling I know who she'll be, though. Come on.

So, Arthur.

What's it going to be?

Help us get the girl, and we'll see you right, mate. I promise.

The name of God.

I'm no helping.

Mr Callaghan.

Arrest me. I'll go down for it.

It doesn't have to be like that.

Please, just lock me up. We can look after you.

Trust me on this, Arthur. We can put them away.

No way.

They'll kill me.

Where the hell have you been?

Bastards! They've taken Amy because of you. What? Who's taken her? You tell me.

When did this happen? This morning.

The police are talking about you and the Callagans.

Tony, what is going on?

Karen, please.

They've got their daughter, Tony.

It's not my fault.

Really, it's not.

They killed Andy, now they've got Amy.

You must have done something.

It was a long time ago.

Look at this.

It's from the Callahan's trial in 1985.

What, while I'm driving, Stuart?

The information classified.

A Stephen Towne, 17, was the key witness at the trial.

The Callahans went down for 20 years on the strength of his evidence.

And your point?

This Stephen Towne, he was given a new identity.

I was just a young lad who got in with the wrong crowd.

That's what they all say.

It's not my fault.

It wasn't bad.

Just a kid who wanted to be a big man.

Police gave me a new name.

Fresh start.

We always said we told each other everything.

We did.

No, I did.

You didn't even tell me your real name.

I don't know you at all, do I? You do.

You know you do.

All the love between us and Amy.

How can that be a lie?

You left us.

You ran away.

To protect you.

If they believed I was dead, then I let you be.

You could have talked to me.

We could have worked something out.

You don't know these people.

There's no working out to do.

They've got Amy.

There had to be.

You told them I was here.

No, I didn't, honestly.

How did you know?

You told me that home was the most important thing to Tony.

I don't know what you've got planned, but it has to include us.

No way.

You should hear Jackie out.

No. I'm going to get a bag.

Tony, don't. Look, Tony, if you got the Callaghan's, they're going to kill you.

Don't you think I know that?

He won't use that.

My daughter's life in the line.

Trust me, I'll use it.

Tony!

Well, did you want him to get stabbed?

Well, calling for backup might have been a good idea.

So, what now?

I don't know.

If there's a wee girl in danger, I don't know isn't an option.

Sorry.

We're all up against it here.

How does Tony know where to find the Callaghan's?

Yeah. Well, he's going to give himself up to them in exchange for his daughter,

yeah? He's right.

If we can't find them, How can he?

Well, he knows them of old.

This might help.

The detective who got Tony to testify is willing to speak to us.

Ex -GCI, Alistair Dewar.

Super Ali, eh?

All right, Jackie, come on.

So this is where old cops come to dine?

Aye. Makes it all seem worthwhile, doesn't it?

You made Chief Inspector after all. I always knew you would. This is my DS,

Jackie Weave.

Good to meet you. How do you do?

Your boss here was one of my sergeants.

Bit of a loose cannon, but he got there in the end.

Sorry to interrupt your game, are we? No bother.

If you're up against the Carlicans, you need all the help you can get.

I always wondered what happened to Stevie.

Who chose the name Tony?

Oh, he did.

He had some idea he was Tony Curtis.

You know, he was only young.

Vulnerable. Is that how the Carlehans got?

Stevie had no home life of his own.

My God knows where.

Father hit the bottle.

The Carlehans looked after him.

How did you convince him to give evidence?

It took a lot of patience.

A year almost.

Good result, though, eh?

I was a good kid.

Just out of his depth.

Should never have let these bastards out.

Any idea where they might be?

In the old days, they had a loyal circle looked out for them.

I would start there.

And what about the wee girl?

Are they capable of killing her?

How'd you get on?

Complete waste of time.

We're going backwards.

Not necessarily.

Stuart, you're the expert in the file. Any of the Callaghan's old cronies still

around? I did a check. They're either inside or living it up on the cost of

their crime.

Well, assuming they've got a humane bone in their body, they've either got Amy

locked up, but there's someone looking after her.

Sounds logical.

So who would you get to do that?

For a little girl, you'd use a woman.

Auntie Betty.

What have we got on her?

Nothing so far.

We need to organise surveillance.

She can be the key to this whole thing.

We've tracked her to a supermarket.

Stuart's tailing her.

OK, sir. Copy that.

They'll have bought that for their auntie.

We should go in.

No, if Amy's not there, we could make things a whole lot worse.

Robbie, imagine she's a nine -year -old girl.

Anything, Jackie?

No, no movement as yet, sir. Over.

All right, keep watching.

He's right.

Yeah, I know.

It just feels like as if we're doing nothing.

I mean, anything could be happening to that wee girl.

All right, sure, I can see you.

So how's the weekly shop going?

Not sure of what you expect to find from a trip to the supermarket.

Individual chicken pie.

Orange squash.

Madeira cake.

Bin bags.

Tin of peas.

Cabin. Cuddly toy.

Just a minute.

Excuse me.

Jesus, which one do I pick?

Oh, that'll do.

Sir.

Yes, Joe.

She just picked up a copy of a girl's comic.

Stay in her tale.

Thank you, Harry.

We shouldn't just be sitting here.

So what do you suggest?

Will we raid the house now?

No, we don't have the girls in there.

Well, the comic proves that she is. The comic means Auntie Betty's maybe helping

look after her. It doesn't mean she's in there now.

So what are we waiting here for?

Tony Benton to come and reclaim his daughter? That's not going to happen

we're sitting here.

What? When did this happen?

How?

Never mind. You just get yourself back here. Understand?

Auntie Betty's given a slip.

Maybe she's on her way back home.

Or maybe another option's just walked in.

Sir, Tony's been in touch.

The Callahans want to meet him.

Where? They won't say.

That's no use.

We have to be there before him. We have to make sure the area is secure.

You sure that's everything they said to him? That's all he knows.

All right, Robbie, you get back to you after. I need to know where and when.

Be as persuasive as you like.

OK, let's grab a seat.

Oh, don't walk away, mate.

Here, let me get this.

Keep the change, Jess.

Thanks, Robbie.

Nice bit of yin and yang, eh?

What? You and your food.

Me with no appetite.

What do you want?

To eat some humble pie.

They do apple.

What?

I'm going to do something I have never, ever done before.

I'm going to plead with you.

Arthur.

I really, really need your help.

No way.

You're a family.

Kids, I mean.

I've got a daughter and a grandson.

I don't see them much.

But if they needed you... I'd be there.

It's what you do, isn't it?

Sure.

See, this wee girl, she's only nine years old.

Imagine if that was your grandson.

We know the Callaghan have her.

We know her dad's going to trade himself in for her.

It's more than I know.

The Callaghans reckon he's working with you.

This wee girl could get murdered if we don't find out where this meet's taking

place.

The Callaghans won't know it's you.

They go down for abduction, you're free to live your life again.

No, I don't know anything.

And like I said before, even if I did.

I did the right thing coming to you, didn't I, Jackie?

Yeah, well, as far as I'm concerned, you had no choice.

You have to make it all right. I told him you would, that this is the only way

to get Amy back.

And we'll do everything we can, but we need to have Tony here.

We're useless without him.

Maybe he'll call again.

Then I can persuade him.

I can't lose them.

I can't.

You have to keep strong, Karen.

We need to get to Tony first.

But it'll be okay.

I need my family back.

Jackie, can I have a word?

Will you stay here?

Robbie's found out where the meet's going to be. The old Linwood factory

tomorrow. We haven't much time. We need Tony in here right now.

Well, she still doesn't know where he is.

I'll go back and talk to her. There's got to be some way to get to her.

Sir.

How did you manage to get that out of Arthur?

A bit of gentle persuasion.

You have to, please.

But they can help.

Listen, I tried them.

Good.

Okay.

Tony, be careful.

He's going to do whatever it takes to get her back.

Well done.

Jackie. Tony's on his way here.

Good.

Sir.

How are you going to work this?

I mean, obviously we can't let him go on his own.

It's the only way to play it.

But what if it goes wrong?

We could end up losing the both of them.

That's a risk we're going to have to take.

Without us, he doesn't stand a chance.

No, there has to be another way.

I've already said to Karen that it'll be OK.

You shouldn't make promises unless you know you can keep them, Jackie.

That takes some nerve.

Slow walk to your own day.

Only it won't be.

Tony?

Are you receiving me?

Yeah.

Yeah. I hear you fine.

Okay, all units, stand by.

Robbie, any sign yet?

Nothing yet.

Hold on.

Looks like our boys have arrived.

The hell are they playing at?

This feels wrong, Bob.

He knows the risks.

Targets are in place.

Stand by.

Leave me!

Daddy!

Just stay here.

There's a good girl.

We've got them, sir.

Let's go now.

We promise, Tony.

What if they don't let Amy go?

They've got no need of her now.

She's seen enough to testify against them.

A nine -year -old wouldn't stand a chance for their lawyers, Jack. They'd

It's been a long time, Stevie.

Daddy!

It's all right, darling.

I'm here now.

She can go, all right.

You come over here, then she can.

I'll come over when she's free. I don't think so.

Do you?

Daddy! Daddy, help!

Target's got a gun.

I've got clear vision, Robbie.

We can't just do nothing.

What? There isn't going to be a plan. The girl's in danger.

I can see that.

Robbie's right, sir.

We've got to go in.

It is more likely to be harder if we do.

Time's running out, Stevie.

All you have to do is come over here.

Just let her go.

Then you'll get me.

Not before any units have clear sight.

Negative.

It's me you want, not Amy.

Let her get away, and then I'll come over. You're in no position to make

demands, Stevie boy.

Just keep in there, Tony.

That's all you have to do. What?

Archie, I think we've got company.

I thought we said come alone.

I am alone, I swear.

Just let her go.

Please!

Shit, they're sisters.

If they take off, we could lose Amy for good.

All right, let's go.

All you let's go, go, go!

Time to leave, aren't you?

Please! She's an innocent!

So she is.

They're getting away.

Not this time, I'm not.

Robbie!

This is the bosses!

Just get in and build up!

Come on, you see.

Come on, get out.

Come on.

Right now, come on. Did we massage, mate?

We got what we wanted, didn't we, Archie?

You two are finished.

Seeing the fear in his eye, it was worth it.

You don't want that drink?

Come away.

Tony.

Tony.

Daddy! I'm sorry, darling.

I'm so sorry.

Are you all right?

I thought wearing this thing meant it wouldn't hurt.

At least it worked.

It feels like I've been kicked by a horse.

Are you sure they would find out?

You've got my word on that.

As far as the Callaghan's are concerned, you're a dead man.

Thanks. Mark.

All right, copy that, Robbie.

Ah, your old boss is right.

He's a bit of a loose cannon.

Always get there in the end, though, Jackie.

Right, I think I'll go and see if Auntie Betty's got the kettle on.

You're welcome.
