Original subtitles

This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting from the start,

and some strong language

What about the knot? Running bowline.

Maritime knot. Who did this to her?

Have you got any idea where Eadie got all her money from? Not a clue.

There is a couple of missing paper statements.

Robert came to see me.

He said, "You can either stand by Ray

"or you can lose David."

Why didn't you report this?!

Sergeant McCabe was here at that time.

You mean Robert Tulloch's pal?

Did you know that Jess had gone to Eadie Tulloch

about putting the baby up for adoption?

No. I didn't.

We arrested a couple of couriers who were bringing drugs in

for the Callaghans and I want you to get me the name.

What if I don't want to?

What if I did something for you?

I want to see my daughter.

ON PHONE: Is that Louden? Hear you're looking for a job.

Cos I might have something on tonight.

SOBS: I'm so sorry.

Look who I ran into!

How are you doing, Ed? I'm fine.

Louden?!

WHIMPERING

Oh...!

RADIO REPORTER: And this just in -

the Met Office has issued a red weather warning for severe gales.

The warning covers the whole of the Northern Isles

and comes into effect this afternoon.

Storm Kyle is expected to last throughout tonight and tomorrow...

TURNS OFF RADIO Where do you think you're going?

I should show face.

You've had a shock, you need to rest.

I'm fine!

Morag! Billy. Don't fuss.

At least have some tea.

Have you heard anything from the station,

about Stevie?

All I know is she's been bailed.

So, where is she now?

Back with her sister.

Let's hopes she stays there.

MOBILE BUZZES

Tosh? ON PHONE: I'm outside.

Can we talk?

What? Now?

What the hell are you doing out here?

Come inside.

Can you get in please, Billy?

I've been going over the Tulloch accounts.

One of the statements was missing,

so I had their bank send me a copy.

Billy, there was an outgoing payment of £10,000 made in May 2001

to a private account.

My account.

It was a loan - from Robert.

For the deposit on the house.

Morag and I weren't long married.

We needed a place.

I didn't have the money...

..so Robert offered.

Why didn't you tell us about this?

It was a private matter, Tosh!

Before Eadie was murdered, maybe it was private.

But after that, you had a duty to tell us.

HE SIGHS

Yeah, fine.

I made a mistake. I... I didn't think.

But what's done is done.

Was Robert Tulloch taking bribes?

Well, we can't account for the money.

Robert had no income source other than his salary.

And these were large cash deposits - thousands of pounds.

Robert Tulloch was a decent man.

I have a witness who claimed he framed a suspect

and threatened their family.

"A witness"?

You mean Gina Powell?

Why would you take anything that woman says seriously?

Because I have to!

If Robert was corrupt,

if the money in that account came from illegal sources,

then the payment he made to you...

I paid it all back, every penny!

It doesn't matter! If you tried to...

If I tried to what?

The statement was missing, Billy.

The one that shows the loan Robert made to you.

It was the only one that was missing.

You better watch your step, girl!

You don't get to accuse me... I'm not accusing you!

Well, it sounds like you are! I have a duty to investigate.

Oh, don't try that with me.

That might work with the others, but...

But you know me - and don't forget, I know you.

I remember you turning up for shifts hungover,

and me having to cover for you

when you're throwing up last night's shots in the toilet.

Look, we all make mistakes, Tosh, you included.

OK.

I think we should stop.

Oh, you're telling me!

Given the circumstances, I don't think you should come into work

until I've investigated further.

And what if I refuse?

Then I go to Standards with what I have,

and you can deal with them.

I don't believe it.

This is ridiculous!

NURSE CLEARS THROAT

How...how is he doing now?

He's stable but unresponsive.

Right.

Do you think he'll wake up?

Right now, all we can do is wait and see.

Yeah.

Do you have a contact number for his next of kin?

Er...

He's...he's got a flatmate.

He'll have the details. I'll give him a call.

Is his phone in that bag?

He didn't have one.

Are you sure?

All he had in his pockets was a wallet and set of house keys.

Ruth? Oh!

What are you doing in here?

I was just looking for you.

You didn't try the manse?

Yeah, well, I was just about to, but...

I just thought I'd come and have a seat.

Everything all right? Yes.

Everything's fine.

You sure?

Yeah. Yeah, why...wouldn't it be?

Mmm?

It looked like you were praying.

No. I was just sitting.

Actually, Alan, I...

..need you to do your...hospital thing.

My thing? What...?

Yeah, you know, the thing you do.

Visiting patients, sitting by the bed and holding their hands,

and that other thing. Right.

Ruth, what's happened?

Nothing.

Nothing...

A kid got hurt. And...he's...

Well, he's... he's not a kid, as such.

He's a young man, and he's in hospital.

And...I knew him.

That's awful. I'm sorry.

Mm-hm.

The thing is, I'm not directly responsible

for what happened to him, but I, uh...

..I sort of feel like I am.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

Which is why I want you to go to the hospital and do your thing.

Well, what's his name?

His name's Will.

Will Louden. OK.

Why don't we go and visit Will together?

What, now? Yeah.

Can sit with him, pray.

Er..

I think we're probably too early for visiting.

You know, I have a little bit of sway with the hospital.

I'm sure we'll be fine.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, obviously, I would,

but I've got work to do, so...

..if you could go to the hospital and do your thing...

..I'll...I'd be very grateful, and I owe you one.

Right? Yeah.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

The forecast says it's not due until tonight.

OK, Mrs Forbes. OK, you stay safe.

Phone has been going crazy,

ever since they issued that weather warning.

Yeah...

I...I heard about Will Louden.

How is he? Er...

Well, he's in a coma.

He's lying in hospital, with big tubes sticking out of him,

and I don't know if he's going to live.

I thought he was in recovery. Yeah. Yeah, he was.

Been clean eight months.

I don't think this overdose is entirely self-inflicted.

You think somebody got to him?

Louden called me last night.

He said he was close to getting a name for Callaghan's contact.

So I went to meet him and he was unconscious when I got there.

Bit of a coincidence, isn't it?

Er... Right.

I need you to get Alex to go to the fish market,

see if he can find Louden's phone.

And if he can't, get him to pull the call records.

And see if there's any CCTV footage from last night.

Has to be cameras up there somewhere. Yes, of course.

Forensic report. Hmm? Cora sent it.

The unidentified print from Eadie's house,

the one you thought might belong to Stevie Shannon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a match for Tom Jameson.

He denied even being at the house.

Well, maybe we should bring him in. Aye, maybe we should.

Right, can you do that on your own?

I've got to go and talk to Louden's flatmate.

Yeah. I can take Tosh when she gets here.

MOBILE RINGS

OK.

DC Wilson.

NEWSREADER: Once again, the Met Office has issued a red...

It's going to be a bad one. Mum, you don't need to...

I heard it on the radio!

What's wrong?

She's het up about the storm. Don't frighten her.

I'm not frightening her! Dad!

Gran, there's no need to worry.

I need to tell Ally.

Dad! I need you in here.

What's the matter?

Why do you let her listen to the radio?

It keeps her calm.

She doesn't seem very calm.

Come on, lass.

Here we go.

What about Ally?

That's OK, love.

Let's go and have a sit down.

It's just the storm, that's all.

And seeing it obviously brings up bad memories for her.

It's not just about her.

You might want to talk to Ruth.

I think she's a bit...shaken up by what happened to Louden.

Did you hear anything from the Tullochs' bank?

What? The missing statement? They were going to send you a copy.

Oh, right.

Did you get it? Uh-huh.

Did you find anything?

I'm still going through it.

Do you want to maybe slow down a bit?

I'd kind of like to get there in one piece.

SIGHS: Sorry.

KNOCKS ON DOOR

When did this happen? Last night.

And you're only telling me now?

I didn't have your number. Look, I was with him all night.

I'm sure that was a comfort.

What ward is he in?

He's in ICU.

There's no way it was an overdose.

He'd been clean for months. Look, Stuart, I'm sorry,

but I need to know when the last time was that you spoke to him.

Why?

Because I think he might have some information for me.

Hold on.

That's why you're here?

You're not sorry about any of this?

I said I was sorry.

Good.

Because it was your fault.

If he did overdose,

it was because of the pressure you put him under.

I didn't force him to help me. No.

You just made it clear that if he didn't, he'd go back inside.

So when was the last time you spoke to him?

He didn't tell me anything.

Do you mind if I have a look in his room?

Do what you bloody like.

So what is this, about Ethan again?

We can discuss that at the station. What's going on?

They want to interview me again. Why?

It's just a voluntary interview.

Right. So he doesn't have to go, then.

Oh, Isobel, it's fine.

It's not fine. It's harassment.

Tom Jameson, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of involvement in the murder of Eadie Tulloch.

What?! You do not have to say anything,

but anything you do say may be... Sandy?

May be noted and used in evidence against you.

Christ's sake!

He's done nothing!

What...? This is a fucking joke!

This is absurd!

MOBILE RINGS

Yeah, DI Calder.

What?

Hello.

It's Billy McCabe.

You arrested Tom Jameson?

That was Tosh's decision.

Well, what did you arrest him for? Suspicion of murder.

When did you last visit Eadie Tulloch?

What do you mean?

When were you last in her house?

You HAVE been in Eadie's house? DOOR OPENS

Er... Once or twice.

But, I mean, last time I was there, probably a couple of years back.

You hadn't been in there recently?

No.

See these here, Mr Jameson?

They're your fingerprints.

The set we took from you yesterday.

They matched to prints we found in Eadie's kitchen.

Now, granted, fingerprints can hang around for a long time -

a lot longer than people think - but not years.

So, can you explain how your prints ended up in Eadie's kitchen?

OK, I went there.

But I was only in the house for about ten minutes.

Now, when was this?

Last week, Friday.

What were you doing in there?

Eadie wanted to talk about Jess putting the baby up for adoption.

Yesterday, you told us you knew nothing about the adoption.

Why did Eadie want to talk to you?

She wanted my help. She said...

..Jess was thinking about giving the baby up,

but she was worried about telling her mum.

Eadie asked if I would talk to Isobel.

Why was Jess worried about her mum finding out?

Baby means a lot to Isobel. It's been...

..a tough couple of years.

We haven't had much luck, I guess,

and she thinks that a grandchild will change things,

for the better. Right. And did you agree to help?

No.

Of course I didn't.

Did you tell Isobel about it?

Why not? I don't know. I...

I knew she'd be angry, and...

..I didn't want to have to deal with it.

God, that must have been galling.

Eadie meddling with your family behind your back,

conspiring with the Stones, manipulating Jess.

Yeah, well, that's Eadie Tulloch for you.

Were you angry with her?

I told her where to go. Is that all you did?

Maybe you decided to hurt Eadie.

Well, it's a reasonable assumption to make, Mr Jameson.

After all, you're a man with a temper,

a man who gets violent when he feels his family's under threat.

Just ask Ethan Stone.

That was different.

How was it different? Ethan was still seeing Jess behind your back.

He was threatening your family in exactly the same way Eadie was.

I mean, I can't even imagine how angry you would've been with Eadie,

after all you've been through.

It's bad enough your health problems mean

you can't provide for your family any more.

You've lost your job, you've lost your house,

having to leech off your in-laws.

Maybe that's why Jess made the adoption plan.

She knew you couldn't take care of her!

Fuck you!

Ah! OK.

See, there's that anger.

Er... I think we'll... we'll take a break...

Er, DI McIntosh?

Can I have a word?

Er... What the hell was all that about?

And you think I'm harsh?!

I was trying to get the truth.

You pretty much ripped the guy's life apart in there.

Yeah. Well, he was lying to us.

And I'm sick of been lied to.

RUTH GROANS

Right.

Tom.

The thing is, what you have to understand

is that we are investigating a murder case here.

So, you lying to us, it doesn't really help the situation.

She's right.

I am no use.

Jess, Isobel - I...

..I can't take of them.

I can't even take care of myself.

I thought about it.

Thought about what?

Just for a second, that's all. But...

..I thought it was a good idea.

The adoption. Oh.

Maybe the baby would be better off somewhere else.

I was all set to hand over my own grandchild to complete strangers.

What kind of man does that?

What do you want?

I need to know what you said to Tosh.

DI McIntosh.

I'm...I'm not comfortable with this.

I need to get on... Gina.

Please.

Right, you.

Thought you might need a wee cup of tea.

So, Tom Jameson claims he wasn't angry with Eadie about the adoption.

In fact, he almost went along with it.

Why didn't he just tell us that?

Oh, Tosh, come on!

He was just worried his wife was going to find out

that he was planning to give up his grandkid.

And as you pointed out - rather brutally, I might add -

the man's lost everything.

Doesnae want to lose his wife too.

And it's not as if suspects lying to us is particularly unusual.

It's what they do!

Don't know why this guy's got you so riled up.

I'm not riled up!

OK!

The baby means everything to Isobel.

What? Well, that's what he's just said, right?

The baby means everything to her.

So, if Eadie was taking that away from Isobel...

Yeah, except Isobel didn't know that Eadie and Jess

were planning anything.

Aye, well, maybe she found out.

Louden's call records.

He made about half a dozen calls yesterday - two to your mobile.

The others, I still need to trace.

But we've got one incoming, received around 9.00 last night,

from a mobile registered to a Lewis Mitchell.

Now, I did a quick check - nothing on him.

He works as a fryer in a chip shop.

The name of the place is... The Coast Chippy.

Yeah, I know it.

Er... Where are you going now?

To find out if Isobel knew.

Do you not think we might want to discuss how we do...?

Or maybe not.

What is it with her today?!

My God!

Hey. What can I get you?

I'm looking for some information.

Ah.

Customer was in here yesterday, guy called Will Louden.

Don't know the name. No? Well...

..got a wee photograph here of him.

There we go.

Nah, never seen him before.

No?

Well, he bought something in here yesterday,

around one o'clock.

Oh, that's when I take my break.

Is it? Mm-hm.

Your name Lewis Mitchell?

That's right.

You see, here's the thing, Lewis.

This wee guy, Louden, he got a call last night

from a mobile that's registered in your name.

Now, I'm just wondering why you'd be calling someone that you don't know.

This guy works over at the fish market, right?

Do you know what? I remember now, I did call him. Right.

I got his number off my pal.

He was going to sort us out with some stock.

Stock that fell of the back of a trawler, do you know what I mean?

SHE CHUCKLES FLATLY

Anyway, aye, I did speak to him, but...

..I don't know, sounded a bit dodgy to me.

Mmm.

So, what is it with this guy anyway?

We think someone tried to kill him last night.

Poor kid.

That's awful. Yeah, I know.

I know, it would be.

If they'd succeeded.

Right. I need to get back to work.

Sandy. ON PHONE: Ruth?

Can you get me everything you can on this Lewis Mitchell, will you?

I'm on it.

Er... But in the meantime, Ed Tulloch called.

He wants to see you.

You got any idea why?

Just asked you to drop in at the Watergaw whenever you had a chance.

All right. Well, I'll head over now.

ISOBEL: Where is he?

TOSH: Tom's still at the station.

Why can't he come home?

Because we're still confirming some of the information he's given us.

He had nothing to do with Eadie. He barely spoke to the woman.

Tom spoke to Eadie last week...

..at her house.

And he only told us that after we caught him out in a lie.

What lie? Why was he round there?

They were discussing Jess's plans to have her baby adopted.

Eadie had been advising Jess and Ethan on how to go about it.

What is she talking about?

I wasn't going to go ahead with it.

I was... I just asked Eadie about it.

I was... I was freaking out.

Mum, it's not going to happen, OK?

I'm going to keep the baby, I'm going to stay here...

Did your dad know?

Erm... No.

He never said that he knew.

Did you know?

Of course I didn't! I was going to tell you.

When? When were you going to tell me?!

Take it easy, Isobel!

When you were in labour or after?

At what point did you think you might let me know

that you were giving away your child?!

I was...scared.

And I didn't have anyone to talk to about it.

Hiya! Hi.

Oh, how come you're not open?

Oh, there's no point. Storm's going to keep everyone in tonight.

Whole town will be dead come six o'clock.

How'd it go with James last night? Oh, yeah, fine.

I warned him - no more matchmaking.

I think he got the message.

Well, like I said, it's not like I was against the idea in principle.

In fact...I was planning on seeing the storm out

with a bottle of rum, if you fancy it.

SHE CHUCKLES

Er... Sorry, Sandy said that you wanted to see me.

Yeah, yeah. Just wanted to get...an update, really.

You know, people are calling about Mum,

asking me what's happening.

And I don't really know what to tell them.

Yes, well, you can tell them that the investigation is ongoing

and that we are hoping for a result very soon.

That sounds a bit vague.

Aye, well, we're doing everything we can.

What happened to Colin Waite, by the way?

I heard someone lamped him.

Yeah, but it's not connected to your mum.

But tell me, how well do you know him?

Colin? I mean...

..I know him.

We were never close.

Colin's a bit...

..you know.

Neighbourly?

Yeah, that's one way to describe him.

SHE CHUCKLES

Yeah.

Mind you, I heard he'd been looking out for Mum the past few years.

It's good of him, given the family history.

What history?

So, listen to this.

I have just been speaking to Ed Tulloch,

and apparently Eadie Tulloch and Colin Waite's mum

were, like, arch enemies.

Well, I mean, that makes it sound worse than it is.

But from what I can gather, they were more like sort of...

..feuding neighbours -

you know, both vying for top dog in the village, so to speak.

Makes you wonder why Colin Waite's looking out for a woman

that his mother clearly didn't like.

Are you OK?

Isobel Jameson did not know

that Jess was planning to have her baby adopted.

Oh, OK. And now I take it she does now?

Yeah, well, it's better she knows the truth.

How did she react?

What about Jess?

They'll survive.

Er, Tosh?

The nursery called to the switchboard.

They're trying to get hold of Donnie?

Oh, for goodness' sake!

Right. OK, thanks, Sandy. I'll deal with it.

Oh, Sandy, anything from the hospital?

Louden is still unresponsive.

But we managed to get some CCTV from last night.

Clocked a few vehicles near the fish market.

I'll track the owners. Mmm. OK.

And any more from Lewis Mitchell?

No record.

No criminal connections.

OK. Er...

Well, let me know when you've traced the vehicles on the CCTV.

Of course.

Oh, and Sandy, could you get me a copy

of that picture of Lewis Mitchell? Sure.

You seen this guy?

Sorry, I don't know him.

Who is he?

Do you think he was the guy that the Burnetts

were trying to meet up with?

The man in the car? That's right.

HE SIGHS

I'm sorry, I didn't see him.

It was too dark.

You arrested Tom this morning.

We did. That's right.

Can I ask why? Oh...

I'm sorry. I can't discuss that with you.

No, of course.

So, tell me, what got you into...all of this?

After Mum died, I needed something to fill my time.

So I thought, "Why not research the village?"

You ever interview your mum?

No, sadly not.

I always intended to, but...

..she passed away before I could get her on tape.

I heard that her and Eadie Tulloch didn't always see eye to eye.

Who told you that?

Oh, just something I heard.

Well, it's not true.

So, there were no issues, then, between your mum and Eadie?

Why does it even matter?

I'm just wondering why you'd bring food parcels

to a woman that your mother hated.

Hang on!

You're not accusing me of being involved in this?!

I'm just asking a question, Colin.

I didn't kill Eadie Tulloch.

I was the one who found her. I called the police!

You wouldn't be the first killer to report your own crime.

Yes, OK, they didn't get along.

And when Mum was alive, I didn't have much time for Eadie, but...

..when Mum died, Eadie Tulloch was the first person at that door.

Despite what had happened with her and Mum,

she came to pass on her condolences and check if I was OK.

Look, she was...

..she was caring, she was kind and she was a good neighbour.

And that's what I tried to be for her - a good neighbour.

That's what I try to be to everyone in this village.

MOBILE RINGS

Nice.

Sandy?

ON PHONE: CCTV from the fish market last night -

clocked a vehicle parked a street away from where you found Louden.

It's registered to Lewis Mitchell.

OK. Well, pick him up and bring him in.

I'll be there as soon as I can, all right? Got it.

Jess made a mistake, Isobel.

It's fine.

It's her life. Her baby.

You don't mean that.

The air feels heavy.

Feels like it did the day we lost Ally.

You remember?

Standing here, all of us,

staring at the sea and willing him to appear.

Not a day I like to dwell on.

I dwell on it all the time.

He died, my childhood stopped.

What are you talking about?

You and Mum fell apart.

We'd lost a son.

I'm just saying things changed. I'm...I'm not blaming you, Dad.

You coped.

They'll...they'll put that on my grave.

"Here lies Isobel Jameson. She coped."

What is it you want me to say?

Nothing.

I need to get back to your mother.

We can't find Lewis Mitchell.

What do you mean you can't find him?

I spoke to him at his chip shop two hours ago!

Well, you must have spooked him,

cos the shop's locked up and there is nobody at his flat.

Och! Well, what about his phone?

We're still working on that.

Who is Lewis Mitchell?

That's him.

Remind you of anyone?

Oh, the Burnetts. Mm. The description of their drug contact.

Yeah, if this guy is the Callaghans' contact and Louden was on to him...

Well, that would make Louden a target. It makes sense.

Mitchell gets to him before I have a chance to talk to Loudon.

Good news is, he can't get off the Isles.

Storm means the ferries are off and the airport's closed,

which means he'll have to hold out somewhere until it's over.

I'll talk to his family, friends.

See if there's anywhere he might hide out.

Erm... What's happening with Tom Jameson?

Oh, shit!

We're still holding him.

It's been four hours. Yeah, I know.

OK, I'll release him.

I'll get someone to take him home.

TOSH: Just bloody do it, Donnie! I don't...I don't know.

I'll be home when I'm home, OK?

Er...

I'm just going to see what's going on.

Hey!

What's going on?

Oh, nothing.

First you're tearing into Tom Jameson,

then you lob a grenade at his wife and daughter's relationship.

You are tearing everyone's head off, including mine.

Now you're ranting at Donnie on the phone.

Something's wrong. What is it?

TOSH EXHALES

I don't want to talk about it.

I suggest you get comfortable,

because I'm not leaving until you do.

Robert Tulloch.

What about him?

I think he may have been corrupt.

Just...hold on.

The money in the savings account?

I can't say for sure, but I think he was taking bribes.

Taking bribes from who?

I don't know.

So you think that Eadie was killed because of these bribes?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

But...that's not the real problem.

What's going on?

I don't ask for much.

And I don't blame you for everything that's happened.

I know it's been tough on you.

I just need to know that you're with me.

I am with you.

You went to see Eadie behind my back.

HE SIGHS

No, I didn't.

She was the one that came to me.

And then you didn't tell me.

No, of course I didn't tell you, cos I knew how you'd react.

Ever since you found out about this baby,

you've just been obsessed with it.

This is our grandchild.

I'm just trying to make sure we're prepared!

No. You're not.

You're trying to prove that you're better than Ethan's mum.

Sorry, Isobel. That was unfair.

I think you need to stay somewhere else for a while.

What?

I've put some of your things in a bag. Your pills are on the side.

What are you talking about?

Where am I supposed to go?

I don't care!

Isobel!

Hey. Yeah, it's me.

Er... I need to get out of here.

So, what exactly did Billy say?

That the money was a loan.

Yeah, well, maybe it was.

Then why not tell us?

And what about the missing statement?

You don't know that he took it.

But what if he did?

If we find proof that Robert Tulloch was corrupt,

we'll have to report it.

That means an investigation.

RUTH GROANS

That means they'll look into all his finances.

They'll find that payment, Ruth... RUTH GROANS

..and when they do, they will look at Billy.

And if he's done something illegal, he's finished!

Why didn't you tell me this before, Tosh?

Come on! We're a team!

I know, I know.

It's just...

..this is Billy, he's...the gold standard.

And he does the right thing, no matter what.

If he is corrupt...

..then what the hell is any of this even for?!

Right, OK, OK.

We can't do anything until we know for sure, OK?

So, tomorrow, you and I will talk to him.

We'll give him another chance to explain.

And what if he can't?

RUTH SIGHS

I don't know. I don't know what we'll do.

MOBILE BUZZES

RUTH SCOFFS

What's wrong? Oh, it's...

It's Louden. He's...

He's not...he's not doing well. Oh.

Actually...

..I was with him all night.

I'm going to go home and get some rest.

Are you going to be OK tonight, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go.

MOBILE RINGS

Look, Donnie, would you just...?

It's Billy.

We need to talk.

Tosh?

Where?

The storm 20 years ago wasn't meant to come this far south.

It was supposed to hit 50 miles out at sea.

So when it diverted, none of us were ready.

Me and Robert were in the station, trying to deal with the fallout.

It wasn't until later in the day, after it died down,

that Robert got the call.

Craig and Ally had gone out the night before.

The boat never came back.

No answer on the radio.

The coastguard were sent out, but there was no sign of them.

I drove Robert up here.

Whole village was on the beach.

Everyone just waiting.

The next day...

..this washed up in a bay a few miles south.

The Lintie.

Ally and Craig?

Their bodies were never recovered.

Robert Tulloch was a hard man.

But when he saw this washed up on the shore...

..he wept like a child.

He asked me to organise getting the wreck off the beach.

I arranged with a team in Lerwick to do it.

But before they started, I searched her.

I thought I could salvage something personal,

something the families could hold on to.

That's when I found it.

Found what?

They were just young lads...

..probably just looking to make some easy money.

There was heroin coming in from lots of different sources.

You found heroin on the boat?!

Kilos of the bloody stuff.

But...hold on,

I looked over the report.

There was no mention of any drugs on the Lintie.

I mean, if you found heroin, why doesn't everyone know?

Oh, Billy!

Robert and Eadie had lost their son, Tosh.

The Mairs had lost Ally, too.

Whole village was mourning.

What did you do?

I told Robert what I'd found.

He was devastated.

I wanted to help my friend.

He asked me... To cover it up?

There was nothing to be gained by making it public.

Those boys were dead.

What good would it have done to stain their memory?

What happened to the drugs?

Robert got rid of them. How?

I don't know.

And I never asked.

I did what I thought was right.

You should have done your job!

Some things are more important.

What, you mean like money?

It had nothing to do with the loan.

Can you hear yourself?!

He asks you to cover up his son's crime,

and then, what, two months later, he loans you £10,000?!

I know it looks bad.

It looks like a payoff, Billy.

It didn't feel that way at the time.

And I paid it all back!

But, aye,

after that, I began to have my suspicions about Robert.

It started with the Ray Powell arrest.

I mean, Powell was no angel,

but there was always something weird about him

just confessing like that.

I met with Gina today.

She told me what Robert did.

I had no idea...

..no idea how bad it was...

..how bad HE was!

I thought maybe he had taken a few backhanders.

But then you found the accounts.

400,000?

What about the missing bank statement?

I panicked.

I took it from Sandy's desk.

I was worried the loan would look suspicious.

Because it was.

It was 20 years ago, Tosh.

And those drugs were destroyed! But were they?

Or did Robert Tulloch sell them on?

Because that would explain where all his money came from.

Did you ever think...

..that if you had reported that

that they might have found where the drugs came from,

that they might have stopped more from coming in?

Who knows how many lives could've been saved?

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I...

I'm sorry, Tosh.

I really am.

TOSH SOBS

That's a lovely house.

Why are you standing outside it?

Well, I thought you might want to reconsider the bottle-of-rum offer.

Oh, did you now?

Or am I crossing a line here?

About ten fucking lines.

I'm sorry. You're right. I should leave.

You'll have to let me out. Oh, shit.

So...were you close with this guy?

Louden? Oh, God, no, no.

Er... I only met him about a month ago.

Brought him in on a shoplifting charge.

Got caught nicking a bunch of stuff from the chemist.

He's...he's got a little girl,

and he only gets access to her every so often.

He said he wanted to smell nice for her.

Anyway, we are in the middle of this case,

and we we're getting nowhere with it, so...

..I checked his file. I saw he was on parole -

history of drug abuse - and...I saw an opportunity.

To turn him?

LAUGHS: To turn him?

OK, I'll stop talking!

Yeah, I mean, he wasn't official.

But I used him.

I said I'd drop his shoplifting charge if he fed us information.

And it's my fault.

You're supposed to disagree there.

What?

You're supposed to say,

"It's not your fault," and I shouldn't feel guilty.

Why? It's not going to change anything.

Oh, I know, I know, I know.

You want to know where I was when my brother died?

I was in a room at the Harbour Hotel, seeing out the storm

with a Dutch girl that I met the night before.

Spent the whole day in bed, stoned out of our minds.

Aw. Such a lovely story.

The point is...

..that's what I was doing when Craig was dying.

Now, did I cause the storm? No.

Could I have saved him if I was back at home?

Probably not.

But do I feel guilty?

Absolutely.

And there is nothing anyone can say to change that.

Mm.

The Croft is just up the way here.

It hasn't been lived in for years, but Mitchell's cousin owns it.

You're sure he's in there? That's his pick-up truck there.

OK. Let's go.

GRUNTING

Oi! Oi!

YELLING

Get your hands behind your back! Get your hands behind your back!

You're under the arrest for the attempted murder of Will Louden.

Move!

Good job!

It's not even on that one!

I know where it is. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Hold on.

Are you sure?

It's not on that album! Mm.

Here we are. This is it.

I don't believe you.

A-ha?

That's it. That's the song.

What can I say? I know my shit. I know my shit.

Just give us it here.

Right, hold that... I'll take a hold... carefully.

CLATTERING

Ah!

What the hell was that?!

Oh, shit! What?

I think it's my gate.

Oh, the lock's broken.

I've been meaning to get it fixed. THEY LAUGH

Do you want me to fix it?

CAN you fix it?

Wow! The doubt in your voice.

What? I didn't think, like, poets fixed things.

Poets?! Poets!

THEY LAUGH

OK. That sounds like a challenge.

All right.

Go on. Get out. Come watch.

I'm coming! I'll show you.

SHE LAUGHS, EXCLAIMS

All right! I'm going for it!

OK! But if you don't make it back...

..I'm finishing the rum!

THEY LAUGH

Right.

SHE SCREAMS, LAUGHS

SHE SCREAMS WITH LAUGHTER

Woo! Oh, my God!

Look at you! Come here. Oh!

LAUGHING: You're absolutely soaking!

It's bad out there.

Oh, my God! I should...

I should probably start back.

Yeah. You probably should.

The Callaghans have kept you busy.

Well, you won't be using this for a while.

Look, I can explain.

Put him in the car.

No, no, wait. I've got information...

..about the Callaghans.

Who works for them. I can give you a name.

My boss in Shetland.
