Lima 5 -2, urgent assistance required

I called you an hour ago.

I could be deeper now. Bonnie, go inside
and shut the door. Now!

What, are you mental?

We're flooding.

My ceiling's wonny. Come in. The kids up
the stairs must have left the tap on.

Hello? Chris?

I swapped shifts.

I was there.

I was going to call you later.

D .S. Reid.

How many dads, son?

Four.

No, no, look at me.

Come on, concentrate, my boy.

That's it, come on.

Come on.

Best thing we can do for that boy is
find out who did that. Well, the parents

are Peter and Louise Ferguson.

They got a mobile number from the
Housing Association, but it's dead.

Good paper the walls with these.

Where are they now?

Put out a call, I want them found.

Ah, the boy wonder.

This way.

Need a minute?

I don't want all these people around
when I'm dealing with the children.

I thought we'd just meet in here, so
let's clear the area, please.

Overdoing it?

It's possible.

No obvious signs of trauma on the body.

I'll leave you to it.

Have they managed to stop the flooding?

Yeah, they've shut the mains off.

It's coming from in there, but it's
locked.

Oh.

That's my daddy's home.

I spoke to the neighbor.

Did anybody see him?

I don't know how you've undertaken this.

Jack, you've got a channel.

Yeah, how do you do it? I'm in now.

I can't wait to see it.

That's the best I've ever seen.

Louise, I'm D .I. Buck.

D .I. Roth and D .S. Reid.

Is there someone we can call for you?

He killed himself.

Do you want knives, Louise?

Are you able to talk to us? I didn't
check them.

I should have checked them.

Oh, my God, he can't be dead. Pete was
looking after them. I need to check

I checked them.

What did we get from the house to house?

A lot.

Peter Ferguson was long -term
unemployed.

Pretty much kept himself to himself,
most of him.

Couldn't even describe him accurately.

A recluse?

Might have struggled down the door
office right enough.

I think it's fairly obvious what
happened here.

Dad feels worthless and barely thought
of leaving his family behind him, so he

killed the kids before killing himself.

If you wanted them all to die together,
why was he hanging alone in the

bathroom? And why not take his wife with
him?

Our kids were placed so carefully in the
bed.

They were killed by someone who loved
them.

Well, until we get the post -mortem
results, we do this by the book, right?

We always look to the parents first, so
let's look.

Find out what you can about the mother.

You can't believe it?

That's awful.

Louise, is the cleaner here?

Part -time, is it?

Look, I'm not interested in benefit
fraud.

Only in finding out what happened.

She does four nights.

Do you know her well?

We work in pairs when we clean the
office blocks.

Me and Lou sometimes work together.

So were you working together last night?

Yeah. How long's your shift?

7pm till, well, about the now.

So she left early?

Yeah. She got a message at reception and
she took off.

But you were with her until that time?

Yeah.

OK.

Thank you.

Morning. What can I do for you?

You know Louise Ferguson?

Aye. You took a message for her here
last night.

Aye. Do you have any idea who it might
have been from?

I wouldn't leave his name, although I
suspect there was some kind of job

How's that?

Walked straight out. No intention of
coming back the way she spoke to the

supervisor.

Thank you.

DJ Buck, is it true the whole family
were massacred?

You give me something in the family
history. Looking for divine inspiration?

Somebody could have climbed up there.

The balcony doors were open.

No, this wasn't a housebreaking gone
wrong.

This is personal.

Mr Fox!

Finn!

How's the programme going?

Good now.

Good for you, sir. Thanks.

I've done a good job too on my courier.
Well, you always did like cars. I've got

a flat today.

I've got something else to do, Tony.

Well, many, many congratulations, Finn.
Thanks.

We're ready to bring them out now.

She's not a daughter. It's like...
You're like a slug and that's what you

What do you mean?

Excuse me.

Go easy there. Michael Anderson?

Yeah, Ross.

All right.

What can I do for you?

I understand Peter Ferguson used to work
for you.

Aye, that's right. I had to let him go.
What, over a year ago now?

He's in some kind of trouble.

Well, I'm sorry to be the one who has to
tell you, but I'm afraid he's dead.

Eh?

I thought it was you.

Pete was a good guy.

He said you had to let him go.

I don't want to be killed or dead.

But...

He wasn't up to the job.

I had to let him go. I had no choice.

Have you got any gum?

No, sorry.

That's like a nice drink.

Any more than Pete Ferguson?

Yeah, he was diagnosed as clinically
depressed after he lost his job.

You OK?

Yeah, it's been a long night, Mum.

So? What have we got?

Yeah, well, I spoke to Louise's
colleague, Greg Warren. He was with her

ten. Right. Anything else?

Are we not just wasting our time here? I
mean, everything points to the father.

Yeah, I know what it looks like, but it
doesn't fit the usual pattern. Where's

the suicide note? Well, that's not what
made him snap. He wasn't thinking

straight. No, he'd want his wife to know
why he'd done it. Eh?

We'd all like to nail someone to the
wall for this, Jackie, but we can't

the facts. All right, all right.

Let's see what the pathology report
tells us.

You know, it's easier to win those
battles when you're the same rank.

I'd back you.

Oh, thanks, ma 'am. I'm flattered.

I'm just not sure it's the right time.

Don't leave it too long.

He's stable, but he's ingested a lot of
drugs. He'll be all right, though.

We won't know what permanent damage he's
sustained till later.

Let's start with Peter Ferris.

Suicide.

The scratches on his neck.

I haven't missed anything, don't worry.

Blood under his fingernails confirms he
did it to himself.

It's possible he had a change of heart,
but couldn't get it off.

They were all in fairly good physical
health.

Youngest girl had slightly stunning
growth on her feet.

Indeed, he'd new shoes.

The children all ingested a cocktail of
drugs.

Same with Carl?

No external injuries on the girls, but
there are on Thomas.

See here, some bruises around the mouth
and also some scratches inside his

throat. He didn't want to take the
pills.

How could a father do this to his kids?

Actually, I put Peter Ferguson's time of
death well before any of the children.

What?

I don't know who killed these little
ones, but you can certainly cross Dad

your list.

It's so quiet.

Louise, we just need to know if
anything's missing, and then I'll get

hospital.

Your home's supposed to be a safe place.

They repossessed ours, stuck us in this
hellhole that we're kind of scum.

It was no palace, but it was ours.

Everything we worked for, and they took
it.

It's still standing empty, boarded up.

Such a waste.

If Pete wasn't working, why was he set
out?

He was given evidence at the inquiry.

What inquiry?

Unfair dismissal.

I knew he would never hurt the kids.

Should have been there.

This is Jethro's postman.

Have you got any idea what might have
been in here?

What

is

that?

Where's what?

Where is it?

Is there something missing?

Carla with the kit bag. It was right
here and now it's gone.

I'm supposed to watch his kids for
tomorrow.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

This is everything child protection have
in the Ferguson's.

Also a file in Louise's maiden name of
Harvick.

I want to see my son right now. He can't
stop me.

Actually, we can if necessary.

But let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Louis, I need you to help me. Why should
I? Because you'll get to the hospital a

lot quicker if you do.

Had you and Pete fallen out recently?

No more than usual.

Did you argue a lot?

Things have been tough for us.

These people have to do a job.

Nobody wants to employ a man who'd been
found negligent. He was diagnosed with

clinical depression about six months
ago. Is that right?

He'd been on the happy pill of
everything.

He'd rattle if you took him.

Tell us about Peter.

He slept a lot.

No, tell us about the man you fell for.

Kind.

Funny.

How did you meet?

At school.

Childhood sweethearts.

We used to bunk off together, go to the
park.

Far cry from your life after you had
kids, eh?

You must have longed for the days when
it was just the two of you.

No responsibilities, freedom.

Yeah.

Yeah, all right. There were days when I
wished that we'd never had any kids.

I just think that makes me feel now.

Louise, a report had come to light about
the death of a Molly Roberts.

You think I murdered my babies?

We can't deny her access to her own
child.

Louise Ferguson.

Nate Harvey was suspected of murdering
her toddler, Molly Roberts.

And after inquiries, was found to be
innocent.

A two -year -old child left in her care
died of extensive injury. That is enough

for me. The verdict was accidental
death. No charges were brought of any

More than just the glitzens, Jackie.

Look, it was a toddler.

Hundreds of kids die in accidental death
every year. Children are adventurous.

They're clumsy.

How the hell would you know?

Louise was babysitting. She was 15 years
old.

What if you're wrong?

We allow her access and something
happens.

And what if we deny her access and the
boy dies?

Morning, Doc.

What can I do for you?

I was collecting some samples for D .I.
Maloney.

I heard about last night.

Don't worry. She's fine.

Pretty rough.

Yeah. Tell her I dropped by, OK?

Mrs Robertson?

Sorry I'm late.

I need to talk to you about Louise
Harvey.

Can you tell

me what happened to Molly?

I can't imagine how hard it must have
been for you.

Molly was two years old.

I'd lost my husband and... she was
everything to me.

How did Molly die?

She fell down the stairs.

Broke her neck.

I was that stupid, thoughtless girl. I
put the gate across.

Louise was...

Only 15 years old at the time. He was
recommended to me by a friend.

That was a long time ago.

She's got to live her life.

Have her family.

She didn't have to think about my Molly
every single second of every single day.

There's a part of me that's glad she
knows what it feels like.

Can I ask where you were last night, Mrs
Robertson?

I go to a spiritualist church.

With about 50 other people.

Doesn't make sense. Why would she do it?

You weren't exactly living the dream,
were you?

Where did you say you got this?

Oh, the flat.

Someone sent it to Pete.

Really?

Security camera footage?

That's Greg Warren.

Well, we know who the woman is.

Why didn't you tell me you were having a
relationship with Louise?

Used to be in her dirty little secret, I
suppose.

So you wanted the relationship out in
the open?

Is she not so keen?

Recognise that?

No.

What were you hoping to achieve?

It's not mine.

There's one thing that's screwing a
man's wife.

They're sending him the video.

Why would I do that?

You were hoping to break them up? No. So
it didn't bother you that she went home

every night another man?

I get the best of her. They get their
leftovers.

Not anymore.

It worked out quite nicely for you,
didn't it?

One of the downstairs neighbours has
given me a story, but I think it might

encroach on your investigation, so I
can't use it.

You'd give me this out of the kindness
of your heart.

The family were practically hermits. No
friends, no family.

I can't get a photograph of the kids
anywhere.

So what do you think?

Can you do your old pal a favour?

Sure, I'll do you a favour.

You tell me everything you know and I
won't have you for wasting police time.

And Craig, I'm not your pal.

That little bitch downstairs.

She heard you saying the kids would be
better off dead.

You couldn't afford to give the kids the
life they deserve. That's all I meant.

Is that you in this photo?

Just you having sex with Greg Warren?

You quit your job yesterday.

Why? I'd been working three cleaning
jobs.

My body ached. I'd had enough. Don't you
ever have days like that?

You took a call shortly before you left.
Who was it from?

Telesales.

I thought you quit because you were
planning on leaving Pete.

Running away with Greg, maybe.

You're talking out your arse.

How did Pete react when he found out
about Greg?

Pete didn't know.

Well, I'm afraid he did.

Your boyfriend sent him a DVD in
glorious Technicolor.

No, that's not possible.

Is that why he killed himself?

I tried.

I tried to call it off with Greg. I
really did. I tried.

Doesn't look like you tried all that
hard.

Her whole family is dead. She has one
child left, fighting for its life, and

you're treating her like a bloody serial
killer. She's not being straight with

her. Yeah, well, what about Greg?

You know, some people can't handle
rejection.

Killing her children is the ultimate act
of power. Why would she do it? A new

life. A new man. A mother killing her
children for a man? Oh, come on. Let's

kid ourselves, Jackie. It's happened
plenty of times before.

I don't think Greg's our man.

He seemed genuinely surprised when he
mentioned that DVD.

Let him go. Find out whoever sent that
DVD. They want him to destroy that

family. They could well be our killer.
We should go back to the security guard.

He might give us some more info about
Greg.

Yeah, and Michael Anderson. I've been
looking into this inquiry.

Apparently a workman died, which is why
Pete was tracked.

It's funny he never mentioned it.

Keep me informed.

Oh, and, uh, Louise.

I don't think we can trust her with
Callum.

She's not a killer.

Let her go to the hospital.

Oh, what's this?

Female intuition?

Aye, aye, aye. Why is it we, you two?

We're on the same team here. We were all
there last night, remember?

Janet?

Oh.

I didn't think you were in today.

You OK?

Yeah, I've been better.

Oh, Chris, I'm really sorry I haven't
got back to you. Oh, it's fine.

I'll catch you later.

Chris seems like a nice guy.

He's already spoken for Robbie.

Do I hear the sound of wedding bells?

Yes, Reed.

Great.

Okay, thanks.

They've traced Lou's mystery caller.

And? Michael Ander.

You could do a lot worse, you know.

Anderson? Chris.

If you've got something to say, just
spit it out, Robbie.

I went into your desk.

Looked for gum.

Sorry.

I think it's great.

What, I'll just stick a car seat in the
back, shall I?

Jackie, I... My job's not in the paper
yet, Robbie.

You weren't kidding when you said Pete
wasn't up to the job.

One of your workmen died.

Remember Marcus Pedrini?

21 years old.

Why didn't you tell me?

It wasn't relevant.

I'll be the judge of that.

You blamed Peter?

He was a foreman. It was his
responsibility.

That is quite a burden to place on
someone.

Look, a man died. They could have shut
me down.

I had to make an example of him.

I'm guessing there was some bad feeling
between you then.

No, no, no. Not at all.

Pete felt awful about what happened.

He never forgave himself.

Oh, forgive me if I don't take your word
as gospel.

Do you know Louise Ferguson?

Pete's missus, huh? How well do you know
her? She met us in the pub, maybe

twice.

Someone called her from this office last
night.

Well, there must be some mistake.

Phone records rarely lie, Mr. Anderson.

I think you know Louise a lot better
than you're making out.

He's lying.

Yeah, but we can't prove it.

Greensmith? Security guard.

Come in.

This one's bigger.

Thanks.

They're, er, all in order.

I was about to have a coffee. You look
like you could use one.

It gets to you sometimes, Matt.

You can't help it.

Perhaps it would be wise to get you some
counselling.

Yes, I was breath -fed. No, I didn't
live up to my father's expectations and

thankfully I enjoy regular solid bowel
movements there.

Save you the money.

I meant the universal you.

But thanks for sharing.

It's the mother.

Yeah?

I can't rule her out completely, but
I've got nothing on her either.

Can I in all good conscience deny her
access to her boy?

You think she did it?

I don't know.

Let her see the boy.

Supervised access.

Watch how she acts around him.

Come here.

Baby, I'm here.

Yes, you can listen to me.

You have more in this room than some
people ever have.

And mum.

Ah,

Graham's been having a clear out.

Somebody's home, I can hear music.

Come away, Em.

They're going to love that.

Must have been watching her for months.

I think we might have found our man.

What's she doing in there?

Mrs Ferguson.

Do you know this man?

It's Graham.

He could never do enough for me.

Let's ask Carol. No.

I don't want anyone upsetting him for no
question.

We all want the same thing.

We want to know who did it, and Callum
is the only person that can tell us. Not

today.

Louise! Sir.

Give her a moment.

Hello.

Do you mind if I sit down here for a wee
while?

No one's going to hurt you, Callum.

I promise.

I like the tiger.

Have you seen one of these before?

It's cool, isn't it?

Get out.

Has Callum said anything to you?

Mentioned any names?

No, he's still very disorientated.

The only person he remembers seeing is,
well, a golden angel in the sky.

Excuse me.

Mr. Bosch.

How you doing? Come in.

Come in.

Been having a bit of a bend up.

So, what can I do for you, big man? What
were you doing in the Ferguson's flat?

I wasn't.

I wasn't anywhere near.

You know better than to lie to me, son.

You were seen.

A golden angel.

We were flooding.

Bonnie had gone crazy.

No more than the door, so I climbed up
onto the balcony. What did you do?

Nothing.

I was trying to find a leak.

The bathroom door was locked so I went
to the kitchen to find it but I

Why didn't you call an ambulance for
Christ's sake?

The kids were already dead. But they
weren't, were they? There was at least

of them still alive.

I think I know why you kept your mouth
shut.

What did you steal?

What did you steal?

We found this under the kitchen sink.

Jack. Oh, sorry, ma 'am. I'm just off to
check a file in the Ferguson's.

I won't keep you.

Made a decision yet?

Can I ask you something personal?

You can ask.

Do you have a family?

Kids? No.

Because of the job.

I'm very happy with the choices I made.

You have to make your own.

Jackie, listen, I'm sorry about earlier.

The test, it's none of my business.

It's okay.

Turns out I'm not.

I wasn't meant to be.

What about the security guard?

Boss, I found this amongst Peter
Ferguson's papers. It's a letter he

Anderson complaining about safety
standards on site. Look at the date.

Three months before the accident. So why
would he stand up in court and accept

responsibility? I think I know why.

Where did you get that?

Underneath the Ferguson sink.

Pete knew Anderson was cut in the
corner.

So when the accident happened, it was
convenient to blame Pete.

Anderson's factor.

The one thing Pete clung on to through
this whole sorry time was that he would

get his day in court.

He'd be able to stand up and tell
everyone that he was innocent.

But... But I was sick.

Sick of the hell we were living in.

Michael Anderson offered me 20 grand to
get Pete to accept responsibility in

court.

And what did I do?

I took it.

Told him.

Told him to do it for the kids.

And he did.

Even though it destroyed him?

Sorry.

I still don't understand, though.

The inquiry was all done and dusted, so
why are we still arguing about it?

Stupid pride.

Even after all that, Pete still didn't
want to take the money.

So... It was payday.

I was supposed to be there.

When Anderson brought the money.

But he was late.

I told Callum that he was coming. I told
him to take the bag and stash it under

the sink.

You look

exhausted.

I've just been in with your boss.

Aye.

Like a dog with a bone.

Oh, your colleague just called from
Byron Ward. They want to talk to you

the man you have in custody.

I'll be right back.

This is better. Be good.

New bruising has appeared on Thomas'
arm.

A hand grip.

I thought you were thorough.

That's a pretty big mess in my book.

Deep bruising can take 24 hours to
appear, which is exactly why I double

What have you got?

Clear handprint.

Deep bruise. It was a hard grip.

The thing is...

I don't think you're necessarily looking
for a man.

Right.

We need to focus.

She must be somewhere in the city
centre.

Yep. That's her there.

I got her account blocked.

When was that?

Fifteen minutes ago.

Royal Bank, please. Heading for George
Square.

Where's Callum?

Queen Street Station.

Jackie?

Suspect heading west on England Street.
All units heading west, west on England

Street.

Where are you?

We've got her.

Suspect heading north, north on Miller.

Suspect entering St. Enoch's Underground
Station.

Which entrance?

She's going in the north end.

I'm there.

Did what?

I'll cover the south.

Marine Corps, 10 -8 station, ETA, 5
minutes.

Move!

Move, Ferguson.

I'm detaining you for the murder of your
children.

You do not have to say anything.

Anything you do say...

will be noted please nobody wants it to

end like this

It would be a nice gesture, don't you
think, to bury all the kids together?

Where is he?

Somewhere safe.

He's home now.

Of course it makes perfect sense.

Pills are the usual weapon of choice
when someone kills a person they love.

They think it's painless.

Humane, you see.

I didn't want them to suffer.

I just wanted rid of them.

Exactly.

It's like in the slaughterhouse when
they stun the animals.

They think because the animals can't cry
out that they're not in pain.

It looks like a peaceful death.

But it isn't.

Just like the pills. It just makes it
easier for the one that's watching.

I did the best I could for them.

Do you want to know what it was like for
your kids?

At first they would have been sleepy and
delirious.

But that's the best bit.

Then their vital organs would have
started to shut down one by one and the

would have been unbearable.

A three -year -old having a heart
attack.

I've seen grown men crying for their
mammy.

It's all very well dishing out pills to
wee girls who take them like sweeties

because they trust you.

But Thomas knew you were trying to
murder him, didn't he?

Is that why you struggled?

Is that why you forced him?

while you held him down and rammed the
pills in his throat! Stop it! Stop!

Everything's going to be all right.

I'm going to get you an ambulance, OK?

No.

Callum, it's OK.

You don't need to be frightened anymore.
We know what happened.

Your mum can't hurt you now.

Mum's not going to get on her life now,
is she?

No.

No, she's not.

I missed the talk.

No.

No, you haven't.

I did.

I didn't leave enough pills on me.

Why?

You're better off dead.

Were you hurt?

Mum just wanted to be free again.

Found his dad's body.

That's what made him snap.

Locked the bathroom door so his wee
brothers and sisters wouldn't get upset.

We didn't make the one on Robbie.

We just police it.

Then I'll...
