Yeah. Peter,

you stay away from her, or I'll kill
you!

To Detective Inspector Jackie Reid.

Well done, Jack.

So what time you made, Inspector? What
kept you?

I wouldn't sleep with the board.

I'd also like to welcome Mita Rahi, my
new DS and second.

Have you seen Robin?

Have you got an exact proportion?

Then I'm

I get the witness between the sides to
the other area right down to the bottom

of the street.

Jackie?

He's been stabbed, sir.

He collapsed in front of this couple
over here.

Perfect end to a perfect evening, eh?

Oh, thanks for dropping by, Robbie.

Sorry, boss, just got the call. You're
arse.

Any idea where this dark red stuff is on
the ground here?

Blood? Just checking.

We're through here, gents.

Don't come any further. There's already
been too many people stepping in the

blood.

The dog's a cabber, innit?

Well, I'd break it to the dog, or should
you?

Hi, there.

Got a minute?

Sure.

You've been taking photographs?

It's a college project.

You probably know there's been an
incident over there.

You didn't take any photographs of what
happened?

Just afterwards, all the police arrived.

Can I have the film? You'll get it
returned.

Okay. Our victim's a busker known only
as Jackal. We need solid IDs so we can

inform his next of kin.

Mita, I'll leave that with you.

Now, CCTV taken at the time has given us
numerous witnesses, and we've got more

potential evidence from film that we
haven't developed.

This mob were in the area making a
nuisance of themselves.

Find them. And this man was seen leaving
the concert early, Clark Donovan, head

of appropriations at the city council.

We need to talk to him.

He might have seen something and not
even known it was pertinent.

So let's get to work.

Matt.

I know what you're going to say.

Don't worry. We will treat Mr. Donovan
with the utmost respect.

I don't want to imply that in any way
he's involved as a suspect, just a

witness. I just need a statement.

The press would make this bigger than it
is. Listen, you're preaching the

converted. I just need to know if he saw
anything.

Okay, Matt.

Robbie. You got a minute?

Uh -huh.

Should I not be giving you a present?

So you didn't chip in for the M &S
vouchers?

It's just a wee thing.

Thought it might cheer you up.

Made me laugh.

Thanks, Jackie.

Listen, as soon as this case is done and
dusted, Me and you, regardless.

My treat.

Robbie and I are meeting Mr Donovan
later on. Well, keep it discreet.

Any joy with identifying the victim yet?
Not yet.

But there's a new CCTV image of the
drunk.

I think it's... Baby Doc.

Isn't he the guy involved in... Involved
in everything, Mita.

Benny Dockery and his old man are the
biggest gangsters in this city.

Finally, I might have something in that
scumbag.

Is B .I. Ross around?

No. He'll be back later.

How much later?

Not sure, sir.

Do you want me to call him? No.

I'll wait. Thank you.

You see, wake up.

What?

Look, I'd help you get off this, but
you've got to be honest with me.

You said you didn't have any more left.

I'm sorry.

I kept some.

I need you, Robbie.

You don't understand.

I do understand.

And you don't understand.

You don't need it, pal.

I said I'd let you stay here until you
got assaulted.

Please, stop lying to me.

I want to change.

You know I do.

Remember, you were going to be a doctor.

Get your whole life in front of you.

Trust me, it's not too late.

We can do this.

We can do this.

Guy Ross?

DCI Atkins.

Complaints. I'm afraid you're under
investigation.

Having spent the morning studying your
career, I feel like I already know you.

Wait.

I'm just going to jot down a few notes
while we chat.

I'll keep you.

Sure.

Why exactly am I under investigation?

It was a wee bit melodramatic.

Sorry. We received a complaint that a
police officer assaulted and robbed a

dealer that officer was identified as
you.

That is ridiculous.

Robbie, relax.

I'm on your side.

I'm not about to take the word of a
known drug dealer over that of a police

officer with more than 20 years'
experience.

But we need to work together to clean
this up.

Heavens to Murgatroyd! It's DCI Boyk!

I could have sworn...

They put you out to pasture a long time
ago.

We're just having a wee sampling here.

You know that's our main business these
days, importing vino.

I did, baby.

I like to keep track of your
heartwarming rags -to -riches story.

It's Benny these days.

I need to know, baby.

Sorry, Benny.

If you bumped into a busker last night
at about 10pm...

A busker? Yes, you and your friends were
seen in the vicinity when a violent

murder took place.

I don't remember any busker.

Anyone remember where we were about ten?

I'm sure we'll pitch up on the CCTV
somewhere.

Mind you, it was Big Malky's that I'd do
it.

And we'd been at it all day.

Cheeky wee bastard.

Bit like you, eh?

They're all gone.

I don't believe it.

Everything alright?

Arnie, this is DS Raheem from the other
night.

I left my camera bag in the dark rooms
and somebody's nicked my new lenses.

That's the second time that's happened.

I think somebody's copied the key.

Can I ask, why were you taking
photographs in the first place?

You mentioned a college project.

We're taking shots through the same
street, through the same spot, every

on the minute for 24 hours.

We're using film so we can learn how to
develop and print them ourselves.

So you were there all day and all night?

We took turns, did it in shifts.

Can I see the earlier photographs?

Do you have any taken just before and
just after 10 .15?

Some of the roles are in the dark rooms
too.

I'm not sure which ones we've watched
yet. Can you check?

We really need to see those ones as soon
as possible.

Yeah, no problem. We're booked back into
the dark room tonight.

Hello there.

Clark Donovan.

Oh, thanks for making the time to see
us. No problem.

Hellish business.

Just what the city doesn't need in the
week we launch our knife crime

initiative. There you go, Valerie.

So, how can I help you?

Well, just a couple of questions. It
won't take long.

You left the concert early.

A meeting at the Cochrane Club.

I got the whole first half, the Paris
Symphony.

The second half I wasn't so keen on
anyway.

Ah, you're a Mozart aficionado.

Fanatic. Did you happen to pass the
busker? Is anybody with him? The busker?

that the man who was stabbed?

That's right.

No, sorry.

I didn't walk through the alley. I was
going in the other direction, towards

square. Well, if you do think of
anything, no matter how unimportant it

seem, just give me a call.

No, that doesn't happen very often.

It's usually the other way around.

I've given a woman my card.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Oh, yes, thanks for getting back here.
If he was made of chocolate, he'd eat

himself.

Dig deeper.

Check he definitely didn't turn into
that lion. Why, is he a suspect?

We need to eliminate him from our
inquiries. That means finding out who

meeting what time and why.

Or have you forgotten the basics,
Robbie?

Hiya.

No, I can't.

I said I can't right now.

Just relax, dear, because I am relaxed.

Hello.

Hello.

DCI Atkins.

DCI Buck.

I hear you're interested in one of my
people.

But what is worth?

D .I. Ross is a good officer with
valuable experience.

Damned with faint praise.

We both know this is just some wee nerd
trying to damage a good cop's

reputation.

Well, then I guess it's not important
what I think.

That's right.

It's not.

So, no truth in it, then?

What, complaints?

You joking?

Yeah. I always like to do a bit of stand
-up when one of my officers is under

investigation. No, no truth in it, no.

I need to ask these questions, Robbie.

If I defend your reputation, I'm putting
mine on the line as well.

I'm not asking you to put anything on
the line. I can handle that, Ken. What

you think, sir?

I'm sure it's just the secrets we get.

Don't let that fool you.

He's as smart as a whip and just as
sore.

So this drug dealer, is it possible he's
got some kind of grudge against you?

I don't know. I told you, boss. Don't
even know the guy.

And you're not on drugs?

Me? Well, why is that so ridiculous?

You're addicted to gambling, drinking
and shagging. Why not add smack to the

list and go for broke? I've heard enough
of this. I'm under investigation by

complaints, not you. So with all due
respect, give it a rest.

Jackie, as D .I. Ross is distracted by
this complaints business, you're heading

up the bus for inquiry from now on, OK?

Misha, where are we at with the
photographs?

Well, I thought if we could just look at
it at the timeline, it might help.

On the left is before the murder, on the
right, after. I think you should take a

look at this, sir.

We have Donovan leaving the concert hall
early, like he said, but the students'

photos show him in the alley meeting
Baby Doc. So he was lying.

And they were talking for less than a
minute, because in the next photograph

they're both gone.

So why didn't they admit they saw each
other that night?

And where did they go to after this?

Get everything you can on Baby Doc's
financial dealings. See if we can find

link to Donovan.

Dead man's shoes, eh, Jackie?

You OK?

Yeah, why wouldn't I be?

Robbie, talk to me.

You're all over the place. What's wrong?

I'm fine.

I'm just tired.

And I can do without a complaint
sniffing around.

Yeah, but you've got nothing to worry
about, have you?

No.

Are you drinking?

More than you should be. No, I am not.

Robbie?

Robbie!

I've got myself into some debt.

Gambling? Yeah.

Anyway, I uploaded the new car, but it's
finally out of control, and I owe this

loan shark a lot of money, and... Yeah,
I know.

I was going to lose my flat, Jackie.

Anyway, he sold my debt on to someone
else, and now I've got this company

Client Kind Finance breathing down my
neck. So is that who you've been talking

to all the time?

Yeah, that's right. Look, I've got some
money... Hey, I'm dealing with it, okay?

Right, well, we just have to hope the
boss doesn't find out.

Otherwise, you'll be finished. No, I'll
be fine.

I'm just a bit stressed.

I'll be fine once I've thought it out,
this debt problem. I'll go back to my

self, OK?

G .I. Ross.

How are you?

Bernie.

Don't tell me you were in this place.

Oh, aye.

And a few others.

And who says crime doesn't pay?

I don't think anyone ever said that. Do
you?

I'd love to chat, but I'm meeting
someone.

I've still got the time wrong.

No!

You've got the time just right.

You're meeting me.

I am Clydeside Finance.

I've worked everywhere.

That roll must have been in my camera
bag. They must have taken the film and

took the lenses.

I can't believe another student would do
that. I'm sorry, but I don't believe in

coincidence.

Neither does my DCI. You could be
charged with obstruction, you realise

You think I'm lying?

Did one of you do this?

Me? Oh, it's powerful stuff.

Look, folks, I know it's been a
stressful time for the both of you, but

photographs are really important.

Can you have another look? You might
have missed it.

KT?

Is it?

What's the deal?

I'm a friend of Robbie.

Can I buy you a drink?

You met Clark Donovan that night.

That's right.

You two friends?

Met at a charity do. I was just saying
hello.

And why didn't you mention it before?

Didn't think it was important.

You told me you didn't see the busker.

Yet minutes after this image was taken,
he staggered out the alley and died.

He must have had absolutely no stage
presence, cos I don't remember a thing

about him.

What was he singing?

That might help to jog my memory.

Do you find the death of an innocent man
amusing?

I've got a very thick sense of humour.

That's not a crime, is it?

I think something happened in that
alley, and I think you know what.

And I think that this is a waste of my
time.

Because the Lord Advocate's going to
throw this back in your face and say, no

case to answer.

A boy's dog could have stabbed him for
all you know.

How do you know he had a dog?

What?

I said, how do you know he had a dog?

Well, they've always got a dog, haven't
they?

It's part of the uniform.

I told you he was asking about my
project.

Our project.

He thought he'd find you like something
the council could use to promote the

city.

Really?

24 hours in the late fall, that sort of
thing.

See, they might commission it.

It didn't seem like that to me.

It seemed like he was annoyed about
something.

Like what?

The missing photographs.

They could be very embarrassing for Mr
Donovan.

Were they?

I don't know. I haven't seen them.

He didn't try to buy them off you?

No.

Look, Mickey, this is serious.

An innocent man is dead.

Someone's going to jail for it.

If you don't tell the truth, that's
perjury. You could be joining them.

What if I did see something?

Could you make sure I was protected?

Mickey, protected from who?

A sorry argument.

It was Baby Dog and his gang having a go
at a busker.

This lot?

That's them.

Anyway, I kept walking.

I heard the dog barking.

I turned and the buck was sitting in the
doorway.

The men were gone.

It seemed okay.

I didn't think.

You didn't see who stabbed her?

No.

But it must have been one of them.

Okay.

I've got a witness who can put baby Doc
in the alley at the time of the murder.

Although he didn't actually see who
stabbed the busker.

But if they're all culpable, we can
charge them in concert and still put

away for life. Now, I just need one
corroborating witness to put the nail in

coffin. So go to Baby Doc's crew, find
out if any of them want to turn Queen's

evidence. And Jackie, find a safe house.

Put Mickey Dawson under 24 -hour
protection.

Have a word?

Yeah.

It would appear you haven't been
completely honest with me, Robbie.

I've got you in the stand when the
dealer was attacked.

Yeah? How's that?

Katie was telling me.

Your girlfriend, Katie?

The junkie?

Okay.

Two things.

She is not my girlfriend.

And I do not appreciate you calling her
a junkie.

She's got a drug problem.

And I'm helping her deal with it.

By acquiring more drugs for her.

By trying to get her into rehab.

What's she saying?

No, no, no.

You see, I buck.

I feel I'm going to have to suspend D
.I. Ross until further notice.

I've got Benny Doherty in my sights.

I need every officer I've got.

You don't need Ross.

I doubt the force needs Ross.

I want a reason.

Assault.

Robbery.

Consulting with a known drug addict.

How's that for starters?

Who you want?

I've got a proposition for you.

Keep me informed on that Buster
investigation.

And I'll forget about that 40 grand.

I'll also have a word with that dealer
you battered.

Get him to drop his complaint.

Sorry. No can do.

How come?

Amongst other things, you're a suspect.
We have a witness that puts you in the

crime scene. I never touched that guy.

What's Burt playing at?

Like I said, no can do.

Oh, really?

Well, we'll see about that.

I need to know what Bert's going to do
before he does it.

And if you don't do that for me, you
will regret it for the rest of your

Kitty? Kitty?

Matt, he's been on the radar for years.

They're gunning for him for a reason.

It's a witch hunt. Is that what you're
saying? Matt, I called Atkins in. I know

you're loyal to your people and I admire
that, but sometimes they're just in

enough room in the lifeboat for
everyone.

What? And I'm supposed to just stand
back and do nothing?

No. Concentrate on your investigation.
Let Ross fight his own battles.

I'm not sure this is one you can win.

Bad dream.

It just got worse.

Up.

How did you get in here?

Shh.

You, listen.

This witness, this Mickey, I need to pay
him off.

What's that got to do with me?

Katie.

I've got her.

And if you don't help me, you're never
going to see her alive again.

Burke's setting me up.

I don't know why.

But I'm not about to sit back and let
that happen.

I know you've got that lying wee
arsehole somewhere.

Where is he?

Apart from your marriage, how's that?

No, no, no, no.

I need to talk to him myself.

No.

No, I can't do that.

Are you really going to let poor wee
Katie die over something like that?

Hmm?

Because I'll do it, Ross.

I will.

I'll cut off her fingers, her ears, her
toes, and then I'll toss what's left of

her into the glade.

Scoop's owner.

You never mentioned you saw Benny
Daugherty after you left the concert?

Benny who?

Oh.

What was that his name?

Yeah, I know him vaguely.

Businessman, right?

You really don't know who he is?

Obviously I should.

He's the ranking gangster in the city.

I see.

Can you tell me what you talked about?

You said this was an unofficial chat.
It's beginning to sound decidedly

to me.

Which I have for a few seconds. He
instigated it. I think he was a bit

I just asked him what the occasion was,
that type of thing. So it wasn't

prearranged then?

Absolutely not.

Do you have any business dealings with
him?

Not that I'm aware of.

Well, I can tell you that he's benefited
from various contracts handed out by

the city.

He even used one of his security firms
to protect council properties.

Well, if I knew somebody like that was
behind these companies, I wouldn't have

touched him with a badge pole.

You do realise I don't dish out these
contracts personally, don't you?

Are these manuscripts original?

They're autographs, technically.

It's a musical manuscript written in the
composer's own hand.

I collect them.

I imagine they're very expensive.

They can be, but my collection's very
modest.

No Mozart, then?

Unfortunately not.

Well, thank you for your time. I really
do love your apartment.

It's a bit much, isn't it?

You can tell I'm a control freak.
Everything in its place.

Well, to be honest...

I think that's refreshing in a way.

You know what I love about Mozart?

Every note exactly where it should be.

Well, if I were you, I'd check who's
dealing with those council contracts.

need some quality control.

No, absolutely, I'll look into it.

And one other thing.

Mickey Dawson.

The art student that you saw yesterday.

You didn't happen to purchase any
photographs of you and Baby Doc glad

each other? Like best buddies?

No, I did not.

And next time you want to speak to me,
call my lawyer.

Sir, I finally got an idea on the
victim.

I was desperate, so I checked names like
Jack and Jackson against our database.

Lo and behold, our busker is one Douglas
Jackman, and he has a string of

convictions for assault going way back.

No wonder he preferred the nickname.

Find out if there's any links to
Doherty.

Maybe he knew this guy.

One of his victims.

How the hell could you let this happen?

There was a car outside at all times. We
thought he was safe. Does he look safe?

Where did the shot come from?

From the window.

We're checking the flats across the
road.

How did he know?

He said you'd protect him.

Oh, Christ, get out of here.

You promise?

Come on.

To come forward.

The police believe that the killing of
art student Mickey Dawson may have been

gangland hit.

The shooting occurred late yesterday
afternoon in Glasgow's Southside and

police... It's not a great shot, but I
think you get the picture.

No, I don't.

Explain it to me.

Obviously D .I. Ross has been taking
kickbacks from our friend Docherty.

I think you found your leak.

I don't see Ross in that photo.

It's outside his flat.

I'd need more if I was to believe that
Robbie Ross would think so low.

OK.

Let me make myself as clear as I
possibly can.

He's finished, and you will be too if
you try and protect him.

I'm getting a warrant for his arrest. I
want you two to pick him up. That's a

certain imagery, don't you think?

I told you we were going to bribe him.

I told you we were going to pay him off.

You never said you were going to kill
the boy.

I didn't kill that bastard.

And you bastards know that.

That's Katie.

Where is she?

Katie?

Katie?

Did he pay anything?

No.

So do we think this was linked to the
bus bookcase?

Who knows how many enemies that he had.

The city wants to smash his head in.

This is not a good idea, Robbie.

I want to help.

I need to help. I'm still a cop.

Yeah, but for how long?

Atkins thinks you leaked the address of
the safe house to Docherty.

Did you?

Oh, God, do you know what you've done?

He had Katie.

Katie?

Katie Wallace?

Are you involved with her?

No.

I couldn't bear to see her throw her
life away.

I had to help her. I needed to.

Why?

for a bit of myself in her.

To where is she?

Doc, he took her.

She was helpless.

He killed her.

I want him behind bars for the rest of
his life.

Why?

Do you think you might need company?

He said he was only going to bribe
Mickey, that's all. I swear, I never

was going to kill him.

And that's why you attacked him?

I don't want my first arrest with a D
.I. to be you.

Mickey.

Where is Mickey?

He should be in one of these somewhere.

Do we have him on CCTV?

No. No, that doesn't make sense.

According to his story.

He should be on his way home.

I've just found Annie approaching the
alley.

Annie? What's she doing there?

Where's she going?

Meet her.

Jackie!

Take a look at this.

They lied about who's on that shift.
There's Annie walking away from camera.

It wasn't Mickey who witnessed the
stabbing.

It was his girlfriend.

Why did Mickey say he witnessed the
stabbing when it was you who saw it?

Well, he knew who Baby Doc was.

Knew that he was involved.

He was scared they'd hurt me if they
knew what I saw.

And what did you see?

Just what Mickey said.

They started arguing with the busker.

He didn't know a song they wanted him to
sing.

Before I realised that someone had
stabbed him.

some water for my pal.

I'll get it.

So he was stabbed because he didn't know
what song they wanted?

I know.

It makes you despair for the human race,
doesn't it?

I need to arrange some security.

Stay here and keep an eye on the place
until they turn up.

Sure. You're the boss.

Yeah, well, it's better if you stay out
of it anyhow.

We need to talk.

Have you told the boss what you heard?

No. But I need to know what's going on.

Robbie's got himself involved with
Doherty, but it's complicated.

And you're protecting him?

Yeah, well, until I know if he's telling
the truth.

I admire you.

You have 15 years' experience on me, so
I'll do whatever you think is right.

Oh, Meta, I can't ask you to lie.

To risk your promotion.

But that's what you're doing, isn't it?

Where's the roll of film? I want that
film now. I told you I don't have it.

You think you can blackmail me? Who do
you think you're dealing with?

We destroyed that roll. Stop lying to
me, you little bitch. We both know

on those photographs.

Where's the film? I'm not lying. I'm not
making this... I don't believe you. Why

would he do that? Why? I can explain.

This guy is trying to blackmail us. Shut
it, Donovan.

That's not what you're interested in.

Is it?

Is it, honey?

So the missing photograph showed you get
into the alley moments before the

murder.

Is that right?

Your boyfriend's dead because he claimed
to be a witness to a crime he never

saw.

And do you know why he did that, Annie?

Annie, if I look like a kind -hearted
father figure to you, you need your eyes

petted. Now start talking or you're
going to jail.

I'm serious.

He raped me.

Who?

The busker.

Three years ago...

He raped me when I was on my way home
from college.

I never reported it.

Oh.

I was drunk.

I thought that nobody would believe me.

Well, then, honey, are you saying... I
was taking photographs for about three

hours.

I went back to college to develop the
neck.

That's when I saw him.

I recognised him immediately.

I went home.

It was like I was on autopilot.

I walked into the alley and I stabbed
him.

Just like that.

Right in the heart.

It didn't make me feel any better.

The pain.

The pain I've had for two years.

It didn't go away.

I thought it would, but it didn't.

No, we know you didn't kill the birth
girl.

But don't relax just yet.

What we would like to know is why you
were so keen to get that role of film.

As you're well aware, it is my right to
remain silent.

Well, according to Annie, you were seen
receiving an envelope from Benny

Daugherty. Can you confirm that?

All this is just piercing because the
girl destroyed the role of film.

She said she did.

You tried to buy the film from them and
what you didn't realise is that Annie

couldn't sell it to you because it
incriminated her as well.

So, you're looking at charges relating
to bribery, obstruction and attempting

pervert the course of justice.

You see, there are just some things,
Clark, that you can't control.

Well, I'm sure we can come to some
arrangement.

Well, the only arrangement I'm
interested in... is a signed statement

in which you admit to taking bribes from
Benny Doherty.

Where do I sign?

Benny! You've got a nerve coming here.

From Boulder and Cork at the Chateau
Lafitte, pal. You're under arrest.

I never touched that musket.

I'm detaining you.

The murder of Katie Wallace and Mickey
Dilligan. And I'll recover of a crime

didn't even commit.

But then you never were the brightest,
were you?

Poetic justice of a kind.

If you're going to do what I think

you're going to do, don't.

No.

I have to come clean, Jackie. Look, all
they have is baby doctor allegation that

you attacked them.

Is his word against yours?

I'm giving you another chance.

Take him.

But you understand this.

You've got to change.

Well?

What?

I have a warrant for the arrest of D .I.
Ross.

He attacked that dealer.

And Dockery.

And he's going to pay for it.

Really?

I'm just arrested, baby Doc, for double
murder.

Under the circumstances, I don't think I
make much of a witness. Do you?

You've been trying to put the wrong guy
behind Bars Atkins.

You seem to be missing the point, Buck.
If you think Ross is fit for work in

your department, then your department is
not fit for purpose. You don't have a

case against him and you know it. No
DNA, no physical evidence, and poor

dead.

All you've got is the word of a known
drug dealer and a double murderer.

The fifth girl will laugh in your face.

Now get out and take your warrant with
you.

Don't worry.

I'll be back.

For both of you.

I'll be waiting.

No.

Get back to your work.

TRB.
