Original subtitles

This programme contains some strong language

How long has she been out here? A couple of days at least.

Why would you bring her out here? To kill her.

You knew Cal Innes? I'm closer to James,

but Cal and me were in a band together.

What have you done?

The restaurants got into debt and I did something stupid.

Who's Amy Shannon? An old case of Eadie's.

She's suing social services.

It seems there were some disturbing reports that came

from the children's homes where Stevie was placed.

What kind of reports?

Concerns that she was manipulating other kids.

We're a family after all.

You, your mum...

..and me.

Just the three of us.

The dealer said if we hand this over, then we're free.

That's what they said, right?

Come on.

All right, now what?

We wait, I guess.

You should go back to Chloe.

No.

You're not doing this alone.

RECORDING: It must have changed over the years. Lunniswick?

Not as much as you might think. It's quieter now.

OK. That'll be him.

Right, come on.

Bring it over!

OK, stay here.

Come on!

Hurry up!

What's going on there? What are you doing?!

CAR REVS

Go, go, go, go!

THEY BREATHE HEAVILY

Oh, my God.

Now what do we do?

I can't believe you arrested Lana.

She set fire to our crime scene, Alan.

The woman's not well, Ruth.

Plus, Eadie was her best friend.

She was sleeping with her husband for the best part of ten years,

so, you know...

He'd have got on well with Dad!

Anyway, how come you know Lana Mair?

Lunniswick's not your patch. No.

Erm, I know Isobel and Tom. They came up to the kirk for a while,

before they had to move back in with her parents.

Aye, what's the story there? Tom's ill.

Something to do with his heart. Right.

Problem with his job as a welder, something like that. Oh.

Anyway, when he gave up the job, they lost the house

and Arthur had to take them in. What about the daughter?

Jess? Jess is pregnant.

Aye, we'd worked that one out, Alan.

Any idea who the father is?

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

No. They're not saying.

Tosh.

Hey, I'm just dropping Louise at nursery,

but I thought you should know, Sandy called last night.

He says social services in Aberdeen have a number of reports

on Stevie's time in care.

Nothing criminal, but a lot of red-flag behaviour.

Plus, he chased up the taxi firms last night.

We've got a driver who took a woman to Lunniswick last week.

The description he gave sounds a lot like Stevie.

OK. Well, let's bring her in, then.

OK. See you there. See you.

Sorry, I've got... You've got to go. Yes.

But I'll see you later, right?

You will.

Mm.

Oh, wait, wait. I've got a good one.

Go on, then!

CHUCKLING

It's a proper trip down memory lane. Right, wait.

# Downtown, the young ones are growing

# We're the kids in America... #

Nah, I don't remember this.

Me and Mum used to sing it all the time.

Oh, you're just in time.

I'm about to serve up a Terry Special -

named after my second foster dad.

Only useful thing he taught me was how to make a decent fry-up.

I was thinking about the police turning up last night.

Maybe it was one of your pupils.

Maybe you pissed one of them off at school

and this was them trying to...

..I don't know, prank you?

Calling the police and saying that our son is at risk

is hardly a prank, Luke. I know, but it's the sort of thing kids do.

They make malicious calls. Well...

..I haven't pissed anyone off. Mm, that's not entirely true.

You're suing social services.

And?

And they're all part of the same system.

Social work, the council, the police.

You attack one, and the others close ranks.

What the hell are you on about?

Maybe the police turned up last night because...

..someone from social services told them to. It's intimidation tactics.

"You try and sue us, we'll make you out to be a terrible mum."

DOORBELL RINGS

What do you want? We're looking for your sister.

Why? Is there a problem? No. No problem.

We just need her to come to the station and answer a few questions.

Are you arresting her? It's just a voluntary interview.

She's not available right now. It's fine.

Stevie... Stevie... Don't make a fuss.

Come on.

Well? He wants to try again tonight.

Tonight? Why can't they come now? We need to get out of here.

Because there are still police everywhere. Jesus, Hayl!

I know, OK? I know. What am I supposed to do about it?

Hello?

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Hello.

You all right, mate? Can we help you?

Hi.

Erm, Colin.

I'm at the croft up there.

Are you enjoying your holiday so far?

It's great. It's been great.

Really lovely.

Well, I just wanted to call by to ask

if you saw anything strange last night.

What do you mean by strange?

At the cemetery.

Around two?

I saw a car and some people.

Odd, I thought...

..for people to be out.

At that time of night, I mean.

I didn't see anything.

Hayley? No.

We were in bed early.

Right.

Well, I just thought I'd check.

I'll leave you both to it, then.

Enjoy the rest of your stay.

We wanted to go back over some of the information

you gave us yesterday.

You said you hadn't been out to Lunniswick since you came back.

And?

And we wondered if you might want to reconsider that statement.

Why would I want to do that?

Well, because we spoke to a taxi driver

who says he picked up a passenger outside your sister's flat

last Saturday and drove them to Lunniswick.

And the description that he gave us, well...

..it sounded a lot like you.

The name the passenger gave was Bell.

You had a foster family in Aberdeen called Bell.

Terry and Anne.

It's a bit of a coincidence, don't you think?

If you say so.

Did you have any contact with Eadie

since coming back to Shetland? No.

Didn't call her?

Visit her? No.

But you and your sister, you had issues with Eadie.

You blamed Eadie for your mum's death,

is that right?

My mum was an addict.

She died of an overdose.

But Amy believes Eadie was responsible.

That's why she's bringing the case against Shetland social services.

Listen...

..I don't think Amy's ever come to terms with what happened to Mum.

She wants to blame someone...

..and Eadie was convenient.

I just go along with it because she's my older sister.

Your sister's free to go.

Are you OK?

Mm-hm.

So, what was all this about, then? Why did you drag her down here?

We didn't drag her anywhere. We're just doing our jobs, Amy.

Right.

And your little visit last night, was that you doing your jobs?

What are you talking about?

Your officers, barging into my flat and scaring the hell out of my son.

You really don't have a clue?

Come on, let's get out of here.

Guys, what the hell happened at the Shannons' flat last night?

Me and Lorna took the shout.

Yeah. We were responding to reports of a domestic and a child at risk.

But it was nothing. It was a false alarm.

Well, go on, find out who made the call, then. Sure. Will do.

So how did it go with Stevie Shannon? Ah...

Stuck to her guns. Never went to Lunniswick, never contacted Eadie.

She's a funny one. She plays the shrinking violet for her sister

but she was cool as you like with us.

Actually, Billy, any chance Morag could come in,

give us her take on Stevie? I'll call her.

Not that I need a report to know that Stevie Shannon was lying.

Agreed.

That witness you spoke to, the one who saw someone in Eadie's garden...

Chris Burnett. He said it was a young male?

He said he thought it was a young male but it was hard to tell.

Right, can you go and pick him up? MOBILE PHONE BUZZES

I want to go over exactly what he saw. Sure.

Tosh. Cora wants to see us.

Grandad said he wasn't hungry.

What about your gran?

He said she wasn't hungry either. Mm..

Who are you texting?

Erm, just Kat. Gossip from school.

All right? Hey.

Something's going on.

What?

The police held Mum all day yesterday.

Dad's not a said a word about what happened.

Well, why does that matter? They let her go, didn't they? But why?

And why were they up here asking about Dad and Eadie?

Something's not right.

Where are you going? Oh, I've just got some stuff to sort out.

I'll be back later.

Some of the forensics have come back.

As I feared, we didn't get any prints or DNA from the rope.

Fibres? None that we can use.

I mean, she was out in the open for days, Tosh,

what with the recent weather up there.

Do we know what type of rope it was? Bog-standard.

You can pick it up in most DIY stores.

But there was no other rope found at the property.

So maybe the killer brought it.

It's possible.

What about the knot?

Running bowline.

Maritime knot.

Isn't common, but not rare either.

Whoever tied it may have spent some time at sea.

Oh, half of Shetland, then!

Anything else?

Prints were collected at the scene.

Before the fire, obviously.

Kitchen and living room. Three sets in all.

Forensics have matched two of them.

Colin Waite and David Powell.

The third is still to be identified.

Could be Arthur Mair's, from his dinner with Eadie.

Or Stevie Shannon.

Jess?

What are you doing?

I'm just going on a walk.

Oh. Right, OK.

Have you got your phone on you? Mm-hm

Right. Make sure you keep it switched on!

Any news?

Mr Burnett, sorry for the short notice

but I need you to come to the station.

Is there a problem?

DI McIntosh wants to go over the statement you gave the other day.

Right.

Well, we actually had plans.

Is there any chance that we could do this tomorrow? I'm afraid not.

But it shouldn't take long. It's just a quick follow-up.

LOUD, UPBEAT MUSIC

Took your time. Sorry. I couldn't get away.

What's with the new car? Birthday present from Mum and Dad.

Bloody hell!

You're huge.

Aye, and whose fault is that?

And, look, you've got cushions!

Yeah. I wanted to make it cosy for you.

Your tools and your van?

Are you sure about this, Tom?

No use to me anymore.

You don't know that. You might get better, could start work again.

Nah. Not according to the doctors.

I'm not recovering any time soon and I need the money, Keith. I...

Jess is due any day now, and...

..we're struggling, so...

It's the best I can do.

TOM SIGHS

If we can match the unidentified prints to Stevie Shannon,

we've got grounds for arrest.

Well, unless she gives us them voluntarily,

which I very much doubt, I think we're going to need something more.

I put Chris Burnett in interview room one.

He's waiting for you. Great. Thanks.

Oh, they're for me. This way, please.

DOOR OPENS

Mr Burnett, sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm DI McIntosh.

I'm working on the Eadie Tulloch investigation.

I just wanted to go back over the statement

that you gave to DC Wilson on the day Mrs Tulloch's body was found.

You told DC Wilson that you saw someone in Eadie's garden,

is that right? Well, yeah.

I don't... I don't know. I'm not sure.

You're not sure? Well, according to DC Wilson,

you said that you saw a young man trying to hide.

He might not have been hiding.

I mean, he could have just been bending down.

So you did see someone?

Yes. Yes, I suppose I did.

Right.

Erm, what day was this?

It was the day that we arrived. It was Saturday.

And how far away were you? What?

You were outside your holiday cottage when you saw them.

So, from there to Mrs Tulloch's garden is, what, about 50 metres?

Well, yeah. Yeah, sounds about right.

Uh-huh. And what time of day was it?

It was nine o'clock...

..in the evening.

Mr Burnett, I would like you to tell me if the person in this photo

could have been the person you saw in the Tulloch garden that night.

Obviously, this is a young woman,

but given the time of night and the distance... No, it wasn't her.

You're sure you haven't seen this woman since you came to Lunniswick?

I'm sure.

Oh, my...!

What are you doing?!

Get away from that. I know what this is.

I saw you last night at the cemetery. Give me that. No!

This is going to the police!

SHE GRUNTS, HE GROANS

HE GASPS

SHE ROARS

THUD, HE GROANS

Sorry I couldn't be more help. No, don't be. We appreciate your time.

Alex, could you give Mr Burnett a lift back to Lunniswick, please?

Yeah, sure.

All right. I'll see you then.

Bye.

So, Chris Burnett couldn't confirm if it was Stevie Shannon he saw

in the Tulloch garden, but then, at one point,

he even tried to say that he hadn't seen anyone at all.

I don't get it. Maybe he was nervous.

He didn't look like he'd seen the inside of a police station before.

Anyway...

Who was that on the phone? What?

Oh, that? Just...

That was just a phone call.

You were smiling.

I do smile sometimes.

Who was it? All right,

if you must know, it was James.

James Innes? James Innes, yes.

Aye, I went to see him. How was he?

Good. Yeah, very good.

Just had a few drinks, a bit of a chat.

Glad I did it.

Actually going out for a bite to eat tomorrow, so...

What prompted this?

Prompted what? You going to see James.

I kind of got the feeling you were avoiding him. Aye, well, yeah...

Actually, it was Ed suggested that I go.

Ed Tulloch?

Our victim's son?

What? Him and James go way back.

He knew Cal.

I told you all this.

Yeah.

Yeah, you did.

What's with all the boxes, Sandy? Eadie Tulloch's personal papers.

Well, the stuff that survived the fire.

Sandy's still on Eadie's money.

Trying to work out where it all came from.

According to these, the deposits were made decades ago.

That's Morag on her way in.

Oh, great.

Billy, have you got any idea where Eadie got all her money from?

Not a clue.

So, you're from Edinburgh, then?

What?

You live in Edinburgh, then?

That's right.

What do you do down there?

Erm, we own two restaurants.

My wife does.

I help.

Hospitality's pretty hard just now, eh?

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Sorry.

Hayley?

HEAVY BREATHING

Hayl, can you hear me?

He's dead.

I can't hear you very well.

I killed him.

What are you talking about?

He...he got into the shed and I hit him.

I killed him, Chris.

That neighbour from this morning.

Yeah.

Just on our way back now.

What?

That's right, PC...?

Grant.

PC Grant is driving me home.

Be there in ten minutes.

See you soon.

Love you.

Appreciate it. Yeah, you too.

Mr Burnett!

Do you mind if I use your loo?

Erm... Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Come in.

Cheers, guys.

It's just through here.

Just...just at the back there.

What the fuck happened? I don't know. I panicked.

Where is he? In the shed.

What's this?

That belongs back here, darling.

TOILET FLUSHES

I'll explain later, OK?

Come here.

Cheers. I appreciate that. I'll see you out.

Did you mean to leave your shed door open?

I'll get it for you.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

So, where is he?

He was dead. I...

I checked.

Well, he obviously wasn't, and he will have called the police.

We need to go now. Come on.

You get Chloe, I'll get the bags.

Where are we going?

We're going home.

Aw! Do we have to?

OK.

Right, watch your fingers.

Mum's driving me nuts.

The woman is obsessed.

You'd think it was her that was pregnant!

She keeps saying, you know, "When the baby comes this,

"and when the baby comes that," as if it's going to solve everything.

And Dad looks at me like I'm a big disappointment.

At least they're engaging.

Mine just pretend like it's not happening.

And how are Margaret and Roddy?

They're trying to get me to apply to universities in England.

You'd have to pay fees.

Mum says they'll cover them.

I suppose it's worth it to get their son away from

the scheming wee bitch who ruined his life. Don't say that!

Why not? The baby might hear you.

What do you think happened to Eadie?

I don't know.

It's just another reason to get out of this place.

Did you speak to your cousin? Not yet.

We don't have that much time, Ethan. I know, OK?

LOUD THUD ON WINDOW

Jesus Christ!

Colin?!

COLIN PANTS

Oh...

Oh, my God!

Did you find anything?

Aye, but it's not much use to you.

That Eadie's husband?

Aye, that's Robert. He looks like a character.

Aye, he was that.

Him and Eadie were quite the power couple.

Billy?

Ah.

Hauled in for questioning. I'll be the talk of the Isles.

Ruth and Tosh just want a chat.

What's that you've got?

Oh... Oh!

SHE GIGGLES

By God, you were a handsome man.

Where the hell did you get that?

We're going through Eadie's stuff.

I'll take you to them.

Still handsome, by the way.

SHE LAUGHS

You can't think that Stevie would be capable of killing Eadie.

Well, she's just someone we're looking at.

And the reports from her time in care are a cause for concern.

MORAG SCOFFS

I wouldn't place too much stock in those. They're from years ago.

But even so, Morag, some of Stevie's behaviour back then was disturbing.

Well, of course it was disturbing, the start that girl had.

The same thing happened to Amy. No. No, Amy was lucky, comparatively.

She was adopted by a good family,

and she got to stay here with people and places she knew.

Stevie was dragged from her home and dumped on the mainland.

Why were the girls separated?

Eadie didn't feel she had a choice.

When we removed the girls from their mum,

we had to find them temporary foster care.

Amy went with the Parkers,

and right from the first week they were talking about adoption.

It was a perfect match.

Stevie was placed with the Grays,

but they could only offer temporary care,

so Eadie had a decision to make.

And a difficult one at that.

So she gave Amy the happily-ever-after

and put Stevie on the mainland ferry?

It was an impossible call...

..but Eadie made it, and I backed her up.

You backed Eadie's decision?

I did.

I trusted her instincts.

Morag, do the Shannon sisters know

that you were involved in their case?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Sorry.

We just got a call from Lunniswick.

What happened? I was on my way back to the station when I got the call.

It's Colin Waite. It looks like someone tried to bash his skull in.

DI Calder, Shetland Police.

Is he going to be OK? He needs to get the hospital.

Mr Waite.

Who did this to you, Mr Waite?

Sorry, we have to go now.

Who found him? They're over here.

Who was it that found him?

He did. We were in the car and he just turned up, covered in blood.

Sorry, and you are...? Ethan. Ethan Stone.

Yeah, and he's no business being here. Mum! What?

Did he say who did it to him?

He said something about a woman. What woman?

The one from the holiday cottage. Her name is Hayley Burnett.

Hey.

What's going on? It looks like they've cleared out.

Oh... And I think they've packed their car up.

How long ago did you drop him off? It was about an hour ago. Right.

INTERNAL RINGTONE

Tosh? Billy, get an alert out on Chris and Hayley Burnett.

We think they might be heading for the mainland. OK.

There's a good chance they'll head for the ferry, so put a unit

at the terminal, see if we can pick them up. Tosh.

Billy, scrap that. Hayley and Chris Burnett are to be arrested on sight

in connection with a serious assault and drug possession.

The police. What do I do?

Don't turn in. Keep going.

SIREN WAILS

God, they're everywhere!

HAYLEY BREATHES HEAVILY

Hayl...

Hayley!

We're fucked, Chris. We're fucked.

No. No. No, we're not. Not yet. What are we going to do?

First things first, we have to focus on getting off the island, OK?

What about the rucksack?

We'll just go to the Callaghans. We'll say that we couldn't do it.

Just find another way to pay them back.

That man, I nearly killed him. He's going to go to the police.

We'll just say that he surprised you, OK?

You thought that he was attacking you. I don't... I don't know, Hayl.

We'll work it out later. Right now we have to focus

on getting on to that ferry, OK?

OK. How are we going to do that?

Erm...

RUTH: Did we drop the ball here? I mean, who are these people?

Sandy did the initial interview. He said the Burnetts checked out.

But you had a feeling about him, didn't you?

I thought he was a bit off when I interviewed him

but I didn't have him down as drugs trafficker.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS Tosh?

Hi, Billy, have you found them?

Not yet, but we've got bodies at the terminal

and everyone's looking for the car.

I did a quick background check on the Burnetts.

There's nothing there, Tosh. No previous convictions.

But Hayley Burnett's business might be in some trouble.

It looks like her restaurants are in a lot of debt.

OK, thanks, Billy.

Hi, Lorna. We've found the car,

parked at The Harbour Hotel across from the terminal.

The suitcases are here but no sign of the Burnetts.

They're going to board on foot. I want uniforms on that ferry.

It's their only way off the Isles.

Sandy, we're approaching the terminal now.

Yeah, search the ferry from top to bottom.

They have to be... That's him!

Mr Burnett! Stay exactly where you are!

There's nowhere for you to go!

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Come on, Chris.

I'm sorry, I totally forgot.

But we'll only be gone a few days.

I told my mum we'd stay the week.

It's Luke's mum's birthday.

We said we'd take Aidan up to visit.

You'll get the place to yourself.

Plenty of food in the fridge.

You can download a movie if you want.

Hey.

We'll be back before you know it.

I was at the house.

The Tullochs' house.

I don't know why I went.

I just...wanted to see her.

Hold on. When...?

When...when was this?

Last Saturday.

Stevie, what did you do? Nothing.

Nothing!

I just stood outside her house.

Watched her through the window.

I didn't go in, I didn't speak to her - I was too scared.

Amy, the police know that I was there.

That's why they questioned me.

They're going to blame me for killing her.

Listen to me, all you need to do is just tell the police the truth, OK?

They won't believe me.

They've made up their minds. You were not there today.

They were twisting my words, getting me to say stuff.

The police can't blame you for something you didn't do, Stevie.

They can,

and they will.

What am I going to do?

We'll work this out together, OK?

I can't believe you're not coming with us.

I'll come up in a day or two. I just need to be here for Stevie.

I don't trust her, Amy.

She's up to something. Luke, I'm... I'll call you later. Luke...

Bye.

This is what we managed to pull off Hayley Burnett's burner phone.

Did she give you the password? She didn't have one.

SCOFFING, CHUCKLING

Oh, OK.

We can work with these.

Also, we've called Chris Burnett's parents. They're on the way up.

They'll look after wee Chloe for now. Great.

Oh, Sandy, what's going on with the rucksack?

We'll need to analyse some samples. Looks like mostly heroin.

But there is some other stuff, too. How much?

About two kilos.

How much did your informant say was meant to be on the Guiding Light?

Oh, about two kilos of heroin.

How do you want to play this? Er...

Split them up,

compare and contrast.

Let's do it.

DOOR OPENS

Where's Chloe? She's fine.

She's being looked after by one of our officers.

Can I see her, please? Depends on how you answer these questions.

OK.

Let's start with Colin Waite.

He claims you assaulted him.

Said you were trying to kill him.

Is he OK? Well, you fractured his skull, Hayley.

It was an accident.

You hit him twice.

Tell me about the rucksack.

Two kilos - most of that categorised as a Class A substance.

That's the kind of quantity that gets you a long time in prison.

Where did you get the rucksack?

I found it. I found it on the beach.

Lunniswick Beach?

No, you didn't, Chris.

We found a pay-as-you-go mobile phone in Hayley's bag

and read a series of text messages she received.

Who was sending you these texts? I don't know.

Hayley, you're looking at attempted murder and drug trafficking here.

You do not get to say, "I don't know".

But I really don't know.

The phone was sent to me at the restaurant.

Why would they send it to you?

Hayl never said anything.

The stress that she was under...

..trying to keep the business afloat.

Covid was bad,

but then came inflation, cost of living.

I owed the bank 80 grand and they wanted it back.

I had nowhere to go.

I was going to lose everything, and...

..and then my head chef introduced me to this private finance guy.

He said he invested in restaurants.

It goes to show, I mean, these people, they're everywhere.

They look like businessmen.

Really, they're just gangsters.

After a few months, I couldn't keep up with the payments.

That's when they told me that there was a way

that I could make up some of the money.

They told me to book the cottage.

They were supposed to pick it up when we got here,

but then that woman was killed

and the police were hanging about the village.

Eventually, last night, some guy turned up, but...

..Colin...spooked him.

The guy in the car, what did he look like?

Er, he was about my age.

He was big.

Scottish accent.

Bald, but he had a beard.

I heard someone say the name Callaghan. Callaghan?

You're...you're sure about that?

I was...I was just trying to look after my wife...

..look after Chloe.

Listen, Chris had nothing to do with any of this. It was all me.

I will take the blame for all of it.

You just have to let Hayley go.

Not your average drug mules.

No, but you've got to admit, it's a smart cover.

Maybe the Callaghans are getting creative in their old age.

And you're sure they're behind this? Hayley named them in there!

Plus it makes sense.

The reason there was nothing on the Guiding Light

was because the Callaghans got the Burnetts to bring the drugs up here.

What about the guy in the car?

Well, maybe he's working for the Callaghans

and he's their guy in Shetland. Yeah.

I mean, they must have had a local to liaise with the Burnetts, right?

So how do we identify him?

The Burnetts gave us a description. And then there's the texts.

We won't get anything from them. They used another burner.

The messages were short, formal, no names.

We'll send it to forensics.

I'll get in touch with Louden, see if he knows this guy.

All right, what about Eadie's murder?

How do the Burnetts fit in with that?

Yeah, you see, I don't think they were involved.

If anything, I think Eadie's death screwed them up.

It meant that Lunniswick was crawling with police.

Yeah, I agree. I think if we hadn't been up there,

they would have handed over those drugs and gone home.

It's hard to see a link with Eadie's murder.

HE SIGHS

OK, well, even if it isn't connected,

we've got some drugs out of circulation.

Whatever happens, you got a result. Well done.

Thank you.

But it doesn't feel like a result.

We caught some bad guys.

The Burnetts are in their cells,

but the husband says he wants to talk to you.

We've already spoken to him. He says it's important.

I'm off home. OK. Thanks for today.

I want to see Hayley and Chloe. No, not tonight.

Maybe tomorrow.

Please?

Chloe won't know what's going on. She needs to see us.

Look, earlier today...

..that picture that you showed me, the one of the woman....

Yeah, what about it?

It was her.

The one I saw in the dead woman's garden - it was her.

Why didn't you say this earlier?!

Because I wanted out of here.

So now he decides to do his civic duty and speak up.

We're going to have to bring Stevie Shannon in for another interview.

I know. I'll go and speak to Ed.

It might be worth getting a bit of insight into Eadie's time

as a social worker. Do you want me to come with you?

No. You stay here, break protocol, let Chloe see her mum and dad,

like I knew you were planning.

I will give them five minutes!

Tops.

Yeah, yeah.

OK, see you later.

Dad, it's not what you think.

Something happened with Mr Waite.

Ethan and me had to talk to the police.

What did I tell you, son? I...

What did I fucking tell you?! Mum!

I'm sorry, I... I told you... Ethan, get in the car, now!

..to stay...

ETHAN GRUNTS

..away!

Jesus! Tom!

Please! Tom!

No! Stop it!

Leave him alone!

Leave him, Dad!

Tom! What are you doing?!

Come on! Dad, stop it!

TOM ROARS

Ethan, drive!

Oh, God!

Tom?!

TOM GROANS

Jess, call an ambulance.

Are you OK?

TOM GROANS, GASPS

Oh, fuck.

I don't need an ambulance!

So, what are we doing here?

I was hoping to combine our drinks with a little bit of work.

Uh-huh.

But it looks like that's not going to happen.

Hi. Hi. Two glasses of red wine, please.

Actually... Erm, never mind.

Here, do you know an Ethan Stone?

Ethan Stone...? Yeah, yeah.

The Stones have been members of the kirk for years.

You've not arrested him, have you? Yeah.

No! God, Alan!

But I think he might be the father of Jess Jameson's baby.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense.

Isobel Jameson and Margaret Stone are meant to be really good pals,

but I've noticed some friction there recently.

Ooh.

Thank you.

So, is Isobel not too happy about Ethan deflowering her daughter?

It might be the other way round.

Ethan's a nice, perfectly normal kid,

but to Margaret he's the Second Coming. Oh, Jesus.

Teenage pregnancies, family feuds and psycho mothers.

God, you've got a wee Greek tragedy going on at the kirk, Alan.

It's just normal people dealing with the stuff of life,

which you'd see if you came to a service ever.

And why would I want to do that?

Oh, Ruth, because your brother's the minister

and maybe he'd love to see you.

Alan, I know you're good at what you do.

God knows, enough people tell me that you are.

Just, that place, or...

It's still his domain.

You can talk to me about that, you know.

I'm literally the only person you can talk to.

It's just hard being there. Well, find another kirk.

No.

That would be like cheating on you. THEY LAUGH

I'd get over it. Especially if I knew you were getting some comfort.

SHE SCOFFS

Whatever religion gene you and Dad had...

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

..it passed me by.

Sorry.

Yeah, hold that. I just need to take this.

Hello.

Ruth? What are you doing here?

Having a drink with my brother. I thought that was the minister.

Yeah, he wants me to go to church. Short of numbers?

No, I think he's genuinely concerned for my spiritual wellbeing.

Ruth, sorry, I'm going to need to go. That was the hospital.

Kath Peterson's taken a turn for the worst.

Enjoy the wine.

You on your own, then?

I mean, I knew Mum took her job seriously,

and she wasn't always popular in some quarters,

but she never really spoke about work that much.

You think this girl's involved?

Oh, she's just someone we're talking to.

When did Mum work on her case? Around 2005.

Well, I'm no use to you, then.

By that time, me and Mum weren't really talking.

So, er, are you going to go?

Where?

To your brother's church. Oh, God, no.

I think I'm beyond saving.

Ah, it's never too late to repent. Oh, no, don't tell me you're a...

No, no.

We were when I was younger.

Mum was religious.

Well, at least she was up until my brother died.

Yeah, er... that must have been a shitty time.

Aye.

But then...

..weirdly, that's when I started writing.

Don't ask me why, but Craig dying kind of woke it all up in me.

Do you write much now? No.

The pub takes up most of my energy.

Yeah, you need...

You need time to write.

To sit in the water, if you know what I mean. Yeah.

No, I really don't.

THEY LAUGH

Mind you, every now and then something happens and...

..I get a notion to start writing again.

You want another?

No, thank you.

Erm, I have got work to do, so...

..I better be going.

No worries.

But thank you for the drink. My pleasure.

VIDEO: Not a subject I care to talk of.

But you remember that day? I remember it all.

How quiet it was that morning.

The sea was dead calm.

There was no warning, then?

No.

And the last time you saw Craig and Ally?

I stood on the shore and I watched them leave.

And then what happened?

The storm came in that afternoon and hit hard.

Wind like you wouldn't believe.

And I remember the waiting and the dread...

..and knowing they were out there in all of that.

Me and Lana Mair,

we stood on the shore the next morning...

..waiting.

We were with each other when they told us...

..our sons were dead.

RUTH SIGHS

We've got a problem.

OK.

The money in the Tulloch account, the deposits...

..I don't think Eadie made them. I think it was Robert.

I've been through the statements.

We are looking at a series of large cash deposits,

sometimes thousands of pounds,

irregular payments over a 12-year period,

that stopped when Robert Tulloch retired.

So, what are you saying?

Tosh,

the Tullochs had no other income streams, other than their salaries.

No assets, no property,

nothing to explain where this money came from,

which means...

..we have to consider the possibility

that Robert Tulloch was corrupt.

This is a police officer we're talking about,

and one who's not around to defend himself.

Tosh...

..I've checked.

Then check again.

OK.

There is a couple of missing paper statements.

I will try and find them.

Who knows? Maybe there is something on them

that can explain where all this money came from.

And in the meantime...

..don't breathe a word of this to Billy.

No.

KITCHEN KNIFE CHOPS

Hi, darling. Dinner's nearly ready.

I'll be through in a minute.
