Original subtitles

-Her name's Lisa Sterling. -Where did you find her?

-Near Loughty Hall. -Richard Loughty. This is my family's estate.

Near the travellers, you mean?

A young lassie is dead and one of yours did it.

-You shut your mouth! -You make me, scumbag.

Hey! Hey!

We heard that Lisa was seeing a traveller boy.

-Matty? -He was stabbed.

Jackson and me are together.

You're not accusing me of anything here, are you?

Fire! It's Rose!

Fire Services are on their way.

-We can't wait! -She'll be dead by the time they get here!

Do not go inside that van!

Lindo!

Where are those fire engines?

Come on! Someone go check!

Come on!

Lindo!

Lindo?

BANGING.

Come on!

GASPING.

BANGING.

Lindo!

COUGHING.

Come on.

You OK? Yeah?

RADIO CHATTER.

-Thank you. -Rose has gone up to the hospital.

Drina's gone with her.

Is, er, now a good time for the lecture

on never, ever doing that again?

Send me an email.

I'm going to give Mac a quick call.

Noah!

You all right?

I'm lucky you raised the alarm.

You saved Rose's life.

Nah.

You did that.

Any idea how it started?

Maybe Rose left the hob on?

She does that sometimes.

Or maybe somebody wanted to hurt us.

Why would they do that?

All the stuff folks are saying online...

I can't believe they ever thought Matty would hurt Lisa.

Were they in a relationship?

He wanted to be, but...

she didn't feel the same.

You must have been close?

He was like a big brother to me.

And Lisa? You get on with her?

When I started college, she used to slag me off.

People thought it was funny.

-Even Matty? -Nah.

He told her to stop it.

Noah?

Come in. It's getting cold.

Is it just the two of you?

Yep.

Are you going to do anything to keep us safe after all this?

We will be investigating right through the night.

And after that?

Thought so.

DOOR BANGS

RADIO CHATTER

Is that what I think it is?

Fits the description from Matty's wounds.

Look at the detail. It's an antique.

But how did it get here?

This whole area was searched inside and out

when we was looking for Matty.

Someone must've ditched it.

Any idea what caused the fire?

Yeah, CFO says arson.

They found traces of petrol on the ground outside

but no obvious causes inside.

Right, well, let's get it to forensics.

We need a definitive answer if that is

our murder weapon.

Right, carry on with the search.

OK? If you find anything else, you phone me straight away.

Actually, boss, can I have a word?

Everything OK?

-In private, please. -OK, walk with me.

I know SPIS are breathing down your neck,

but I was just wondering if everything

was all right with you, personally?

Why wouldn't it be?

No reason. Just checking in, boss.

Go home and get some rest, Lindo.

I think that smoke's gone to your head.

Davis, how are you?

Didn't think you'd be in after last night.

Wow, word travels fast.

Quite the hero - jumping into a burning caravan.

All part of the job, as you know.

Still, sure you're fit to be in so soon?

Why? Are you investigating that as well?

Listen.

I had such a great time with you -

and when this is all over, I was wondering...

Hey! Happy birthday, Monty!

Cheers. You up for a drink later?

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Wonder if I'll be invited?

I had a great time, too.

But we really need to keep our distance right now.

Slightly hard when I've scheduled your interview

for this afternoon.

LINDO SCOFFS

We're so busy with this current case.

I really don't have time to talk about an old one.

Well, you're going to have to.

And right now, I need access to your files.

Here's me thinking you came over because you was concerned.

OK?

Saved what we could.

Police said it's not safe to go back inside.

I'm sorry, Rosie.

Why don't you come and stay with me and Noah for now?

Aye.

Come on.

Forensics have confirmed that the knife

is a match for Matty's wounds.

The question is,

did the killer start the fire?

Well, if they did, Matty's grandmother, Rose,

was nearly the next victim.

But why ditch the knife?

It would obviously be found and draws attention to it.

It's careless.

What if the arsonist and the killer were just two different people?

The killer saw the fire and took an opportunity

to get rid of the knife?

There was no sign of Matty's phone in the wreckage.

I was hoping they'd maybe dumped that, too.

Right, well, we need somebody to recognise the knife.

And seeing as it was found at Rose's caravan,

start with the travellers.

Yes, boss.

Boss?

-Yep? -Got an extra birthday present.

Managed to get behind the VPN.

The abusive comments coming from multiple online accounts

were coming from one IP address as suspected,

and I got a hit.

So, who is it?

Adam Colgan. Lisa's ex-boyfriend.

Pfft. Any chance we could do this later?

I've got a test in ten minutes.

Your VPN gave you away, pal.

We know that you were behind those vile comments

against Lisa and Matty.

-What you on about? -Two teenagers are dead.

One of them's your ex-girlfriend.

The other one you're getting into a fight with.

We can prove you were behind the online hatred,

so you'd better come clean.

OK. Er, I can explain.

Right, well, it better be the truth.

Or else we'll arrest you for wasting police time, and the hate crime.

Er, I was still raging with Lisa.

All right? She said there was nothing going on,

but Matty's always sneaking about her.

It's no wonder she'd cheat on me with him.

Matty was only her friend.

You told the world he'd killed her.

Yeah, before I knew he was dead, I thought he was guilty,

so I posted a few comments.

Then it got out of control - other people joining in.

That's not my fault.

Someone started a fire at Matty's caravan last night.

It wasn't me.

I was here in the library most of the night.

Ask Mr Moss.

No alibi the night Lisa and Matty died, though?

Well, that's because online posting the comments.

Check the time stamps if you don't believe me.

Right, Monty, let's get him into the car.

Let's arrest him for the hate crime.

No, look, I-I can help.

When I was still with Lisa, she...

She said something about her stepdad.

Yeah, he was in tons of debt from gambling.

Lisa found out, said she was going to tell her mum.

No, I've never seen it before.

You sure?

We've all told you the same thing.

It's not ours.

So you have no idea how it ended up underneath your van?

No.

I'm guessing you think it was used to kill my son?

It's a match with Matty's wounds.

Could we show the photos to Rose if she's feeling up to it?

She's staying with Shelley.

But the hospital said she needs to rest,

so now's probably not the best time.

Of course.

Have you, er, spoken to Lisa's parents about the fire yet?

No, why?

You saw the state of Carl.

This was his doing.

He's been hanging around here a lot more often

since Gifford started giving him odd jobs.

Yeah, he's never liked us.

Couldn't get out of here quick enough at Rose's party.

Hold on. Carl said Janine and him stayed to the end of the party

and left together.

No. No, he didn't.

Janine and him had words because he wanted to leave

pretty much as soon as he got here.

I saw him drive off.

-Right. -You showed them up to him at the big house?

Place is full of ancient stuff like that.

Thanks.

My father liked collecting antiques and stuff,

but half of them are in the attic.

But I don't remember seeing anything like that, to be honest.

Do you have any sort of list of collectables?

Pfft, maybe somewhere.

Are they insured?

-Yeah, I think so. -Well, there's bound to be an inventory

with the insurance company.

Could you get that for us?

Sure. Sure, no probs.

Do you have any idea how the fire was started last night?

We believe it was arson.

Arson? Oh, my God, that's awful.

Mmm. You did not see anything out of the ordinary last night?

Nothing at all.

OK.

Thanks.

No-one's owned up to recognising the knife.

But Drina wouldn't let us near Rose,

so come back tomorrow once she's had some rest.

Drina also told us Lisa's stepdad left Rose's party

before her mum, which means he lied to us.

Well, on the subject of Carl, Adam told us

that Lisa found out he was in debt

and she was going to tell her mum.

Got Monty to check out his finances, and it's true.

Just multiple loans and numerous accounts on gambling websites.

Carl didn't like Matty, so...

Could the knife be his?

Let's find out.

Bring him in for questioning, and don't hold back.

Is Carl around?

No. He's at work, why?

Janine, when we told you about Lisa,

we asked you when you left Rose's party.

Carl said you left with him, and you agreed.

Did I?

But we've since heard that he left before you,

and that you had a disagreement about it.

To be honest, I don't really remember what I said.

There was a lot going on.

We totally understand,

but we do need to know if Carl left before you.

Why? Why is that important?

We're just trying to place everyone's

movements that night.

JANINE SIGHS

I told him that we should make an effort,

and he didn't want to stay.

So, where did he go?

He said he was going for a drive.

He likes to clear his head sometimes.

He didn't hurt them.

Listen, Carl and Lisa didn't get on, but he wouldn't do that to her.

Why didn't they get on?

Well...

She didn't like him telling her what to do,

and he said that she showed us no respect.

She stayed out all night,

she wouldn't tell me where she was going,

and he said that she was getting in with the wrong crowd.

-And he meant Matty, right? -Mmm.

She didn't start acting like that until after she met him.

Where was Carl last night around nine o'clock?

He went for a drive.

-That was quick. -Yeah.

Want to know why?

Carl doesn't work there any more.

His supervisor fired him six months ago.

OK.

Well, I'm guessing Janine has no idea.

Where's he been going every day?

I think Jackson already told us.

Mr Hadwell.

We need you to come with us.

SHREDDER WHIRS

All right, all right! Argh!

-Oh! -What's in the shredder?

-No comment. -Move!

What did you put in the shredder?

No comment.

Where was you last night?

No comment.

We heard you went out for a drive.

Did you go anywhere nice?

No comment.

You didn't happen to have anything to do with the fire

last night at Rose Gough's caravan, did you?

No comment.

Why doesn't your wife know that you were sacked from your old job?

Hmm.

Nothing to do with all the debt you're in?

We know about your finances.

For the purposes of the recording,

I am presenting Mr Hadwell with a list of gambling websites.

These were all in the search history of Lisa's phone.

She never had an account - but you do, Mr Hadwell.

When did Lisa find out about your money problems?

She must have been really angry -

watching you play happy families with her mum

while she knew what you was really up to.

Maybe she told Matty all about it,

and that's when you decided to take care of them both?

No way.

I didn't hurt them.

Well, the fact that she knew about your gambling gives you motive,

and you lied to us about when you left the party.

I wasn't thinking straight.

The knife used to kill Matty was found in the fire last night.

Someone put it there.

That wasn't me.

Do you have possession of Matty Gough's missing phone?

-No. -No alibis for the fire,

and both times you just so happened to be out for a drive by yourself?

And we all know how you felt about the travellers, Carl.

And you didn't get on with Lisa.

She never thought I was good enough for her mum.

She wanted it just to be the two of them.

Look, her dad left when she was a wee lassie.

And not once...

not once did she ever appreciate it was me who looked after her.

Sounds like resentment.

I didnae like her attitude.

But I wouldn't do anything to hurt her...

or that traveller boy.

Well, we know Carl's got something to hide -

or he wouldn't have shredded that paper.

So he had motive, means, opportunity,

but no real connection to the murder weapon.

Well, he could have picked that up from anywhere.

But, like Monty said, it's an antique -

just like half of Loughty Hall.

What if it's from there?

Carl could've taken it while working.

He seemed to know his way around.

Yeah, except that Loughty himself said he didn't recognise it.

True.

But he's only been back on the scene recently,

and just because he didn't recognise it

doesn't mean it's not from there.

Have you asked for an insurance inventory?

Yeah, he said he'd get it to us ASAP.

Hmm. Who knows how long that'll take?

Look, ask for a mandate from his insurance company.

-Will do. -In the meantime, let's get a search warrant for Carl's van.

See if we can find anything there.

And let's hold him for as long as we can,

while we see what turns up.

My inbox is crammed full of emails,

with just about every mum in Aberdeen

asking if it's safe for their teenagers to leave the house.

Are we even close to making any arrests?

Sir, we have Lisa's stepdad in custody right now.

We're trying to find the evidence to keep him,

but there was no DNA or prints on that knife.

Two teenagers are dead,

and we are three days in, Cora.

Not to mention an arson attack on the traveller community.

-It's not good enough. -It doesn't help that the SPIS

-are getting in the way. -We both know that that's not the reason

that your team don't have any answers.

Find some!

Detective Lindo.

We're keeping it formal?

Yes, we are.

You know, we're alone,

and as far as I'm aware we're not being recorded.

We need to keep this professional.

Oh!

Is that what was happening at my desk this morning?

Detective Lindo.

When I went through your notes on the Stolthet case,

you knew there was a leak in your team.

I suspected there was when our witness was compromised.

And you told DCI MacMillan about this as soon as you realised?

I moved the witness to another location first.

Why? You didn't trust MacMillan?

I did not know who the leak was at that point

and I didn't want to take any chances.

When you reported the leak to your DCI, did she inform her superiors?

Not at that point, no.

Drinks are on you tonight, Monty - as per tradition.

I never understood this.

If it's my birthday, shouldn't everyone be buying me drinks?

Can't mess with tradition.

Hmm. I was going to ask how it went.

But by the look on your face, I think I can guess.

She doesn't miss a trick.

Well, we've all got a grilling to look forward to, then?

Right, we cannot be distracted by the SPIS, OK?

So just put it out your heads for now.

OK, so, we know that Adam did not kill Lisa and Matty,

or start the fire, cos he's got an alibi for both.

Yeah, Mr Marsh said he saw him in the library

the night of the fire,

and time and date stamps on his social media

show he was at home at the time of the murders.

Lisa's stepdad, Carl, is our most likely suspect.

But we need to tie him to the knife.

And if we wait for the search warrant and the inventory,

well, we're going to have to release him.

OK? And given his behaviour earlier, I don't think that's very wise.

We could search Lisa's house again.

Well, see, I was thinking more Rose.

Well, the murder weapon was found outside her caravan.

For all we know, she could have seen Carl

outside her caravan on the night of the fire.

Yeah, we're going to wait until tomorrow,

and then try again with her.

The travellers seemed reluctant.

Well, that's why we should bring her in for questioning.

Sorry, boss. Bring her in?

Yeah. I mean, I know it's tricky,

but if the travellers won't let us near her,

then she has to come to us.

Does she have a diagnosis of anything?

Alex Nicholls said Rose made it clear she didn't want that.

Look, all we want to know is if she recognises the knife

or saw Carl.

But we couldn't rely on any statement

that she might give.

We could involve social services?

It's a bit of a grey area without a diagnosis, and it'll take time.

Which we don't have - if we want to keep a hold of Carl.

This could really sour our relationship

with the travelling community.

Then ask Nicholls for help.

We should be involving social services before we do this.

I don't know what Mac's thinking.

She's doing what she thinks is right for the case.

What about what I think is right?

Look, Mac is under a lot of pressure with this case and the SPIS.

OK, fine,

but we need to keep on good terms with the travellers.

The system has let them down for years.

All right, let's just see what Nicholls has to say.

And Rose has to come in to the station?

Our DCI's requested it.

She'll be back in a couple of hours.

I'm just not sure you're going to get much from her.

Yeah, we're aware of that.

Well, could someone come in with her?

Drina or Shelley maybe?

Afraid not.

Well, what about me?

As a liaison officer,

would it be OK if I was there?

Can't it wait till Drina gets back?

She's only at the shops.

OK, Rose, this is Mr Lindo, OK?

Let me come with her.

Shelley, I'm going to be there.

She'll be fine.

There you go, Rose.

Aye.

Cora MacMillan?

Rose, the detectives have some pictures

they'd like you to have a look at.

Where did you get that?

Do you recognise it?

We found it outside your caravan.

Outside?

No.

It's in the flowers.

-What did I miss? -They've just started, boss.

Rose, do you know who the knife belongs to?

Er, Lady Annabelle gave it to me.

Annabelle's Richard Loughty's mother.

She passed away a couple of years ago.

That's right, Matty.

Rose, are you saying the knife belongs to you?

Yes, it's mine.

We have a right to be there.

-You know? -She's getting a bit distressed.

A right to be where?

On the Loughty estate?

People think we shouldn't be there, but it's written on the paper.

What paper?

The one in the flowers.

It says we can stay for as long as we like.

Lady Annabelle gave it to me.

You don't believe me, do you?

Maybe we should take a break.

Well...

No, I'm all right.

Are you sure? We don't have to do this right now.

Why is Bart doing that? Why is she sitting back?

Rose, you said Lady Annabelle gave you the knife.

What do you mean by that?

She said I wouldn't...

I wouldn't be taken away again.

Rose was separated from her family when she was a child.

She was placed with a foster family by the local authority

when her parents refused to give up their way of life

and settle down.

I'm so sorry.

Is my mammy here?

Are the bairns OK?

Don't let them take any more of them away.

You're OK, Rose. You're all right.

I think we do need that break.

DI Bartlett, I'll take it from here.

What? Why?

I want to go home!

We need more time with her.

I assured her family that she'd be right back.

Look, we don't suspect Rose of any wrongdoing, all right?

But you have to see it from our point of view.

I mean, two teenagers have been killed

and she recognises the murder weapon?

Right, well, let me take her home,

and you can question her another time.

No. No, she can have a break - but she's staying.

If you do this, the travellers won't trust me - or you - again.

Hmm.

It's very impressive.

Oh, and that problem we had.

It's been cleared up.

Good.

Excellent.

My mother would turn in her grave.

Spoke with Lindo today, which went well,

but there's nothing new to report.

And I've got Bart tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, thanks for keeping me up-to-date.

No problem.

Sir!

There's...

There's something you should know.

Boss.

When you came into the interview room

earlier on...

Oh, for God's sake, Lindo, spit it out.

I saw your email yesterday from the Farrar Centre.

And...

I know it's a cancer facility.

Boss, are you sick?

You've no business looking at my emails.

I didn't mean to.

Well, it's nothing.

-Why, what did they say? -It's none of your business.

-Boss... -Lindo, we're late for our team meeting.

Well, Rose seems certain that the knife was hers.

It's possible Carl took it the night of the party,

used it to kill Matty and then threw it into the fire?

Nothing to contribute here?

Shouldn't have brought her in.

The fact that she recognises the knife

proves the point that it was the right decision.

If we believe that she actually does.

If the knife's hers,

how come none of the other travellers recognise it?

Er, what about this agreement that she mentioned

about her rights to the land?

That's what I'm saying.

She was talking about things that made no sense!

But what if she's not?

What if it's a real thing?

She talked about it like it was written down somewhere.

In the flowers, apparently.

Guys, come on.

Even Nicholls said he had no idea what she was talking about.

This whole thing's ludicrous.

Well, we'll need to interview her again,

after she's finished eating.

That will not be happening.

Rose Gough has been released.

Her family are coming to get her.

Sir, we have to interview her.

Think very carefully about that.

We followed protocol.

There was no diagnosis of a medical condition.

But she's not fit for questioning,

and you can't rely on her statement.

And you knew that because your team already told you.

How could you do that to her?

We made the wrong decision about Rose,

and I was trying to rectify it.

What, by going over her head?!

She's done irreparable damage

to our relationship with the travellers.

She was following a lead,

and maybe she has more important things to focus on.

Like what?

You know SPIS want Mac for what happened with Mallick?

-How do you know that? -It's obvious.

And she's not doing herself any favours

by behaving like this.

And what the hell is going on

between you and Harper Ross?

What?!

Did you go home with her after that night in the pub?

-Wait, what you talking about? -You did, didn't you?

That's why you were wearing the same clothes.

Did you sleep with her?

-Are you seriously asking me that? -LINDO SCOFFS.

Great deflection, by the way.

You know, it was you who told me

we're supposed to have each other's backs, remember?

We really don't have to do this.

Are we going to talk about what happened, then?

I thought we had enough respect for each other,

that you would come to me and not go behind my back?

I did come to you.

I told you exactly how I felt.

I'm your DI, but you didn't acknowledge my concerns.

-Rubbish. -You always listened to Mallick.

Aye, and look how that one turned out, eh?

Yeah, but I'm not him.

So why am I being punished for his mistakes?

Maybe we should get some shots?

We haven't even touched these.

No, I'll go.

Happy birthday, Monty.

♪ Go, lassie, go

♪ And we'll all go together

♪ To pull wild mountain thyme

♪ All around the bloomin' heather

♪ Will ye go, lassie, go

♪ Will... ♪

Sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt.

Just wanted to see if Rose is all right?

Yeah, she is - now that we've finally got her home.

Rose said the knife was hers.

She says a lot of things.

She's not well.

Alex was wrong.

We never should have trusted you.

All we want is justice for Matty and Lisa.

Today, er,

Rose mentioned something about an agreement

between her and Lady Annabelle

that said you had the rights to the land.

You know about that?

She's talking about our legal rights.

We've all had to get familiar with those over the years.

Yeah, especially Rose - after what happened to her.

It sounded like something more.

She said it was written down on paper.

No.

All right.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Are you trying to get rid of Mac?

Good morning to you, too.

-Love that tie, by the way. -Are you?

I'm trying to do my job. That's all.

Hmm. The questions you asked me - you're trying to blame her?

No, I'm trying to find answers.

Davis, you had a corrupt officer in your team.

Your DCI knew about it and didn't report it.

I explained that.

The optics of your department aren't good.

The force have to show they won't tolerate misconduct.

That's why Mallick is in prison.

Sure, but there's still the question of how his actions

were allowed to happen.

You can't blame Mac.

Look, Davis, I don't want to fall out with you.

We need to keep my investigation into your team separate from us.

Maybe there is no us.

Harper said she would be speaking to you later.

Yes, sir. Just got her email.

It would be a good idea to familiarise yourself

with the details of the Stolthet case.

-I will, sir. -Might remind you of certain mistakes

it would be helpful to highlight.

You should start thinking about your own career, Lara.

You're on a good track.

KNOCKING

Yep.

Boss, I need to talk to you about something.

Good.

Because I've been waiting on you.

Do you mind telling me why you took it upon yourself

to visit the traveller site last night?

Alex Nicholls called me.

So, you're in agreement with your partner?

I did not know Bart was going to do what she done.

I would never go behind your back.

Well, you certainly kept your wee visit last night a secret.

Look.

I know how important it is for this case

that we can liaise with the travelling community.

I wanted to smooth things over.

And I thought, if I did, maybe our team would be all right.

KNOCKING

Yep.

The, er, search warrant's through for Carl's van.

You're very wheesht today.

-What? -It means quiet.

No, it means "be quiet".

So it's a verb, not an adjective?

You can say "wheesht",

or "haud yer wheesht".

Hold your quiet? So now it's a noun?

LINDO SCOFFS

The Scottish language makes no sense at all.

No wonder you guys say your head is mince.

-Bart. -Hmm?

Well, the journal found in Carl's van

is a match for Lisa's handwriting.

According to the entries,

Lisa wrote in it right up until the day she died.

There's some pages missing,

but it is a great insight into Lisa's headspace.

It's filled with poems, anecdotes.

And one huge surprise.

Lisa has a boyfriend called Leo.

She writes about him as far back as two months ago.

Well, how can we not have come across this Leo before?

Because no-one else knew about him.

That's the only explanation.

Check out this entry from the day before she died.

"Leo acting so weird lately.

"Keeps going on about some important contract that he needs to find

"because it can change everything.

"He wants to meet in the woods tomorrow at Rose's party.

"Matty says I should say no,"

"but Leo's not getting away with dumping me"

"if that's his plan."

Well, she went into the woods to meet him,

and she didn't come back.

He's got to be her killer.

Well, maybe Matty saw something he shouldn't have

when he followed her.

I mean, especially if Leo didn't want anyone to know who he was.

The entry certainly helps us to understand

what Matty's text from that night meant.

He didn't want her to meet Leo.

But what she says about a contract.

It sounds like the same thing Rose was talking about.

Mmm.

I mean, if there is some kind of contract

that gives the travellers rights,

then Lisa must have known about it from Leo.

Right, hold on.

What was Carl doing with Lisa's journal?

You ripped out the pages in Lisa's journal,

didn't you, Carl?

That's what you put into the shredder?

She mentioned the gambling.

Well, I was terrified that Janine would see it.

I couldn't bear to throw it away.

You read all of it?

No.

I only looked for my name.

Once we knew about your money problems,

why didn't you just hand it over?

Well, I was worried I'd been tampering with evidence.

Please...

I didn't kill her.

I swear.

I didn't kill her.

You're free to go.

Pending further enquiries.

Aye.

If she's busy, we can go to Janine first and update her after.

Lindo?

What's going on?

Nothing. Let's go.

What are you doing?!

Er, I was going to fix the wall in the garden.

No, I mean that. Why the hell have you still got it?

Keeping it in plain sight is the best way.

Don't be ridiculous. Get it moved.

So, have you got any news?

We found a journal that belonged to Lisa.

It was in Carl's van.

Carl admitted to removing some of the pages

where Lisa mentioned him.

No.

Please tell me that he had nothing to do with this?

We don't think that he hurt Matty or Lisa.

Then why would he...?

Janine, Carl's in a lot of debt.

We think that he might be a gambling addict.

Lisa found out about it.

She would've told me.

Well, maybe she was worried that you might not believe her?

Why didn't she talk to me?

Did Lisa ever mention anyone named Leo?

Leo?

She writes about him in her journal, describes him as her boyfriend.

How can there be so many things that I don't know about my daughter?

Carl said that he didn't think that Lisa mentioned

anyone by that name.

Yeah, well, me neither.

She met a lot of people at that cafe, though.

We don't have any members of staff called Leo.

And I can't think of any regulars who go by that name either.

-Sorry. -I know we asked about Matty, but did Lisa ever mention

seeing someone else?

No, not to me.

And how did she seem in the days before she died?

Fine.

Although she had a bit of a falling out with Richard.

-Richard Loughty? -Yeah.

I heard them arguing through the back.

I couldn't make out what was being said,

but she looked upset.

I was just finishing my shift as she was starting hers,

so I never got the chance to ask.

Would you say that you and Lisa were close?

We worked together, but that was about it.

I liked her, though. She was funny.

She used to call me Victoria

because I was always eating the sponge cakes.

She loved that sort of stuff.

No wonder there's no trace of him in Lisa's contacts

or her social media - Leo has to be a nickname.

Yeah, but what's the connection? Why the name Leo?

That's what we need to figure out.

You see, this argument with Loughty is strange.

Gemma said it happened last week,

but Lisa never mentioned it in her journal.

How come he never told us about it?

Detectives, is everything all right?

We just need to speak to Mr Loughty.

Do you mind me asking,

how well do you know him?

Not that well, really.

I mean, he's only recently come back on the scene since his mum died.

You ever see him with Lisa?

-With Lisa? -Mmm.

Er...

I mean, she used to sometimes bring up food

from the cafe to the house, but that's about it.

Is he in some kind of trouble?

Thanks for your time.

I'm sorry, who said I had an argument with Lisa?

Did you?

She was rude to one of the customers.

Told them to get lost when they complained about their food.

That's weird, because we heard she was good with the customers.

Well, she was, generally.

But she must have been in some kind of mood that day.

And I can't have that affecting business in the cafe.

Why are you asking me about Lisa?

You can't think I had anything to do with her death?

Where did you go after Rose's party?

-LOUGHTY SCOFFS. -I had a nightcap with Gifford. Why?

Your family allowed the travellers to live on the estate for years,

without any protest.

My mother and Rose were close.

They kind of grew up together.

Do you know anything about an agreement between them

that gave the travellers written permission to stay here?

No, I've never heard about anything like that.

I'm sure my mother would have mentioned it.

Here's that inventory you asked for.

Thank you.

You wouldn't happen to have any nicknames

or middle names, would you?

-No. -Oh, well.

BARTLETT SIGHS

There's no sign of the knife on this.

-Something is off with him. -Mmm.

He changed the subject quick when we mentioned the land agreement.

Isn't he curious where the idea came from?

Damn.

I left my phone inside.

Soon come back, yeah?

Atlantixa?

He's selling the estate?

To American Investors.

A company called Atlantixa Capital.

They're turning it into a hotel and spa.

He hasn't announced the sale yet,

but Atlantixa have already applied to Aberdeenshire Council

for planning permission.

And this came from Loughty himself?

No, boss.

We had a feeling he was hiding something,

so I did some digging online.

We think that Loughty could be Leo.

He gave Lisa the job at the cafe,

and she used to deliver food to him sometimes at the big house.

So there were opportunities for them to be involved.

The agreement Rose talked about could stop the sale,

because it would mean the travellers have rights to the land.

And we think that that could be what Lisa meant

when she wrote in her journal that Leo found out

about a contract that could change everything.

That sale is worth millions,

which explains why Loughty would need the agreement so badly.

Yeah, it makes sense that Loughty is our guy.

You know, getting his hands on that agreement

could be the purpose of his relationship with Lisa.

Get close to the travellers, and find it.

Also explains why he'd want to keep their relationship a secret.

So what is the link, then,

between the nickname Leo and Loughty?

Er... Well, nothing that we can find yet.

And according to the inventory that Loughty gave us,

there's no connection between him and the murder weapon either.

We're still waiting for the one from his insurance company,

to compare it.

Look... Urgh, I can't believe I'm going to say this.

I think we need to speak to Rose again,

find out where she put this agreement.

I don't think the travellers will let us.

What was all that stuff you were spouting

about looking stuff up online?

-I did. -Oh, yeah?

Was that before or after you snuck back into Loughty Hall

to look for your phone?

It gave us a breakthrough, Bart.

Yeah, it could also get us another bloody SPIS investigation.

Well, look on the bright side.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Wheesht.

Must be serious if the boss turned up.

I wanted to apologise in person for keeping Rose in.

The truth is, this is more than just a job to me.

I care about the victims and what happens to them,

and I'd be lying if I said I didnae take it home

with me every night.

And maybe I did make the wrong decision...

but I was only trying to figure out what happened to Matty

and to Lisa.

Now, we know Rose had nothing to do with it.

We just want to talk to her.

-Please, Janine! -No! You had her diary the whole time!

And the money! We are skint, Carl!

-Wait, what about the baby? -No! -Janine, I love you!

Janine!

Rose, nice to meet you.

My name's Cora.

Oh, that's a bonnie name.

Mm. Thank you.

Look, Rose, you told us about a knife,

that Lady Annabelle gave to you.

You also told us that something was written down on paper,

that gave you permission to be on this land.

Aye.

They're in the flowers.

Boss.

It's empty.

So the flowers Rose talked about was actually an old knife case.

Within that case was a secret pouch, sewn in to hold a letter.

That sewing was clearly tampered with,

as if somebody already opened it.

So Loughty found the agreement and, in doing so, found the knife?

The question is, when did he take them?

If they were both hidden in the box,

then it had to be on the night of Rose's party.

Loughty took it, had it on him when he met Lisa

and encountered Matty.

So Lisa and Rose were the only two who knew

about the agreement for sure.

Loughty was maybe using Lisa to find out where the box was,

then he killed Lisa to shut her up - and killed Matty by default.

That left Rose as his only loose end,

so he started the fire and he chucked the knife in.

And if that is the case,

then Loughty has the agreement and probably Matty's phone.

Yep. We need to bring him in. Now.

Er, no. No.

Not yet.

We don't even have anything concrete.

Look, we can't even prove if this agreement exists,

or if Annabelle gave the knife and the box to Rose.

If we go after Loughty now without enough evidence,

he's likely to get spooked and take off on his travels again.

You know what? I'll put him on the no-fly list, just in case.

Good call.

Right, our starting point tomorrow is his alibi.

OK? Good work, team.

Go home and get some rest.

I wish I could. I've got my interview with Harper Ross.

Boss, I'm going to stay back for a bit,

see if the mandate from Loughty's insurance company comes through.

OK. Well, don't stay too late.

Boss, wait.

I know you got bad news on the phone today.

And I know it's none of my business,

but please, you have to tell Willis.

You are a good detective.

My mother passed away from breast cancer

when I was 11 years old.

When I found the lump, I knew what it was

before I even had the scan yesterday.

I'm so sorry, boss.

You all right?

I want this just to be between us, OK?

I do not want anyone else to know.

Look, you have to tell Willis.

They're trying to make you a scapegoat

for the Stolthet case.

And if you tell them you're sick, then you...

Absolutely not.

I will not use this as a shield.

OK?

If he wants me out, then I will go.

I mean, maybe that's the right thing considering what I did with Rose.

No, no, no, no. Look, we would not be this far in the case

if it wasn't for you.

Boss, please, you can't let him do this.

Why not?

You know, I've given my life to this job,

and this is how he repays me?

-So fight back. -Urgh, God, no.

You know, if this has taught me anything...

it's that...

time is too precious.

OK?

Willis just doesn't want a fuss, so if I demand my pension

and I go quietly,

then I think he'll be happy.

LINDO SIGHS

Come on, boss, please.

My time in the force is up, Lindo.

HARPER: - In the Stolthet case, you had no idea.

DI Mallick's brother worked for the NPA?

None.

DI Bartlett, do you think DCI MacMillan

could've prevented the events that unfolded?

Got you.

He doctored the inventory.

I would say we enjoyed a healthy rivalry,

battling for promotions,

but I liked and respected...

Mr Loughty?

Mr Loughty?

No, no, no, no, no, no...

Request an urgent backup.

I'm at Loughty Hall, and my suspect is dead on arrival.

I repeat, suspect is DOA.
