Original subtitles

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.
