Well, he's only just
recently forced his way

into the England side, Southgate.

Norden, they call him,
at Aston Villa.

He does everything right.

CHEERING

Grow up.

Bring out the Jager, Rosie,

You can come to the bar

RAPTUROUS CHEERING

England are out.

Tonight... is gonna be mayhem.

Piss off! Why?
Alex...

Why Southgate?! It could have been
Ince, or Adams, even McManaman!

D'you want to get out of here alive
tonight?

Hey... this'll cheer you up.

A wee disco shandy!

Do you know how many police
drink in here?

Don't be a handbrake, Alex,
I'll get rid of it, quickly.

That Rosie, eh? World class.

I don't trust you...
She's all right.

I'll get her to come tonight.

Don't scare her.
She won't anyway.

Not for you, she won't.

Oh, screw you.

Hello, beautiful.

Ah. Iona'll help you.

I don't want Iona. I want you.

He better watch it.

Her brothers'll crush him.

Aye, one for me, too!

'I'm walking amongst
the ruins of an old cathedral.

'Ancient archways
and crumbling spires,

'emerging out of a cliff
on the eastern edge of Scotland.

'It's picturesque,
like most of St Andrews.

'A charming and historic
university town.

'But I'm trying to imagine
something much darker

'and more devastating.

'Because on 27th June 1996,

'a 19-year-old barmaid
named Rosemary Duff

'was found here strangled,
cut across the stomach

'and left to bleed out
into the grass.

'Three boys that she knew
were found leaving the scene.

'Did they stumble across her
on the way home from a party

'like they said they did?

'Were they covered in her blood
because they tried to save her life?

'Or was that all
a clever cover story?

'It's now 25 years later...

'and the murder remains unsolved.

'I'm Bel Richmond,
this is Echoes: The Rosie Duff Case.

'And I'm here to ask.... why?

'Why did they feel this young woman
didn't deserve justice?'

This... This is what passes
for journalism now, is it?

A sultry voice
and a bit of a jingle?

Her angle seems to be
that the original investigation

was negligent. Victim-blaming.

That because Rosie was out
by herself in the early hours,

we didn't prioritise the case.

Well, you were there, was that true?

No! Of course not.

But, admittedly,
it doesn't look good

that we've never launched a review.

Because there's no new evidence.
We'd be going through the motions

because some woke millennial's
found a microphone.

Listen, we underestimate her
at our peril.

She gave the Met hell
over a missing person's case

and the Chief Constable
doesn't want the same for us.

We have to stay ahead of her. Right.

So I put some poor sod on it
for damage control,

with no hope of solving it.

It's good experience
for a young detective.

And, given the angle of the podcast,

I think it would help the optics
if it was a female officer.

Eh...

You got one of those?

DISTANT MUSIC AND SHOUTING

These flats are tiny.

There's no way he hid 50k worth of
stuff in there and she had no idea.

Yeah, women should be more vigilant.

"I really like him, sweetheart,

"but you just make sure he's not
hiding stolen iPads

"under your floorboards."
Right.

Tracey, we're just here
to get your witness statement.

It's not a good time.
Are you OK?

Yeah, yeah.
Tracey!

D'you need help?
No. No, I'm fine.

Come on, let me in.
What is that noise?

Oh. He's here...
we're back together.

Right...
Come on, darling, let me in.

But he came home drunk... Right...

BANGING So I locked him out on the balcony.

Right. We're coming in now, Tracey.

Why don't me and you
have a chat in here?

I've changed my mind
about testifying.

We're with the police. I'm gonna
need you to come inside, please.

What's the police doing here?
We've talked about this.

I'm not gonna help you put him away.

You will be an accessory
to his crimes, Tracey.

I didn't know what he was doing.
You'll have to prove that in court.

Do you really want to go through
all of that for him?

Ah...

Right. Why don't...
we go down to the station, Tracey?

Don't!
Mind your step.

And we can talk about this properly.
I'm not going. Don't touch me!

RETCHES Oh...

SPITS AND COUGHS

Pub?

I need to be hosed down.

Mine's round the corner.

I've got half a bottle of Echo Falls
and some Bacardi Breezers.

What would I need the pub for?

Just... approach the shower slowly.

It hasn't seen a naked man
in some time.

LAUGHING Wait, you don't remember it?

No!
That hen party?

Yeah! They were all
fighting each other.

Hair extensions flying.

I walked in first, and I was
screaming at the top of my lungs,

and they took no notice of me,
and then you walked in...

They thought I was a stripper.
No, they didn't!

Aye! They did! One of them
tried to ride me like a pony.

Best day of your life.

Well, today, I got to wear
your fun run T-shirt, so...

Take it off if you don't like it.

No, no, you'd enjoy that too much.

That's pretty cocky
for a man that smells like sick.

Are you serious?

Nah.

Erm...

Hey, you hear Serious Crime are
putting together a Case Review team?

No?

Unsolved murder from '96.

I've been waiting
for this kind of opening.

I've been speaking to Lees
for so long about DS positions,

it's gotta be me next.

You going up in the world?

If everything goes to plan.

You don't wanna be vommed on

and humped by the riff-raff
for me any more?

I mean, I hope not.

Who are you trying to get away from?
Riff-raff or me?

What's the difference?

You're an arsehole. You know that?

Yeah...

...but I think you like it.

PHONE CHIMES

DS Pirie.

Oh...

Yeah, fine. Fine.

OK. Wow!

Great.

Delighted. Just surprised, really.

Thank you, Sir.
I'll speak to you soon.

Was that Robertson?

DI Lees.

Why was he calling?

Was it the review?

Does he want to meet you?

I'm running it.

What?

I'm running the review. Apparently.

I'm sorry.
Don't...

Don't be sorry.

I don't understand this.
It's...

It's fine.

You're getting up
and you're getting dressed,

so it doesn't seem that fine.

Look. I'll, er...
I'll speak to you later, OK?

I just...

I need... I need some air.

'Nine out of ten murders
are committed by men.

'Two women a week are killed

'And one in three women

'Take that in.

'Every woman I know
has accepted it as a fact

'that she should call a friend
when she walks home at night,

'that she should placate

'That she should have her keys ready

'That it will never be enough?
That we were never the problem.

She had secrets.

'And I...
I think that's why the police

'gave up on her case so quickly.

'A woman who isn't doing everything

'No, Rosie and all the Rosies
deserve better.'

We were friends. We spoke every day.

Friends who wanted
to ride each other.

Maybe, after he got
what he wanted...?

Or maybe he just really wanted
that job.

I've no idea why they gave it to me.
Uh, because you're brilliant.

Phil's brilliant. And he's got
a better success rate than me.

He's worked with Lees before,

and he's been waiting longer
to move up.

So, why did they give it to you?

I'm joking! I did say
you were brilliant first!

I don't have a clue what I'm doing.
Just pretend you do.

Like everyone else.

'Doors closing.'

DS Pirie, DI Lees.

Welcome to Serious Crime.
Happy to have you.

Pleasure to be here, Sir.
Walk with me.

I'll introduce you
to the rest of the team,

but first I want to get you briefed.

We haven't got time to waste
on this.

No, I suppose it'll be
26 years soon, eh?

Yeah.

I gather you're from Fife, Pirie?

Methil, Sir.
You remember it, then?

Rosie Duff murder?
Would've been all over the news.

I was three, Sir.
Three? Jesus.

Well, at least you'll be up with
all the podcasting nonsense, then.

Yes, Sir. Good.

Ideally, we would have
shut the whole thing down,

but we don't have the power.
So just watch her closely,

if she oversteps the mark, then we
can slap her with an injunction.

Watch her closely. Got it.

I've had all your files brought up
and I'm around if you need me,

but I'm across six other
investigations, so...

Get on with it.

Yeah. Get on with it, yeah.

Sir, the team?

Ah. Yeah, where is he?

Mint. Mint!

DS Pirie, DC Murray.

There we are, there's your team.

Constant updates, please.

Murray, mints. I get it.

Yeah. The lads gave it to me.
I was pushing for The Machine.

Wow. The Machine.

Well, I got the department record
on the bleep test,

but you don't get
to choose your own, so...

Oh, will I get one?
You've already got one.

What is it?

Er... I don't think it was you, actually.

No, go on.
It was someone else.

Right... Well, I'd quite like one.

It's not been the greatest time
to be called Karen.

Is this the incident room?

Have you listened to the podcast?

Yeah. It's quite...
It's quite feminist, eh?

And you don't like that?

No, no, no, absolutely.
Do your thing. Fight the fight.

Mmm.

Well, I suppose
we should start at the beginning.

Who was at the crime scene?

What was at the crime scene?

And why?

'Call an ambulance, she's dying!'

You three, come over here
where I can see you!

Still warm...

I'm a medical student. Can I help?

You say you found her?

On our way home.
Why did you leave?

To find a phone.

But you're a medic.
Why didn't you stay with her?

Why didn't one of the others go?

SIRENS

I've tried to resuscitate,
but I think she's gone.

You got an ID?

Rosie Duff... Sir.

Two of them were at the scene...

one of them ran out
right in front of my car.

Thanks, Jimmy.

They said they found her like this.

The one that left
said he was running for help.

Detain them, Jimmy.

I've never seen anything like...

Keep it together, Jan, eh?
For her.

She was strangled.

Ligatures?

By hand.
Is that how she died?

The autopsy concluded that she was
throttled until she was unconscious,

but it was the stomach wound
that killed her.

She bled to death?

Would have taken 20 minutes,
maybe more.

She was just... lying there...

Jesus. Why do that? Cut across
the stomach? Such a slow death.

And why leave her in the cathedral?

I suppose a graveyard
makes some sense.

If you want to get rid of a body,
you bury it,

dump it in the sea, burn it,

you don't leave it in the middle
of a tourist attraction,

right in the middle of summer.
Unless you want someone to find it.

You think that has some
significance? A religious aspect?

I don't know yet.

What was the weapon?

They think it was a kitchen knife.
They didn't find it?

No. Never.

There was another thing -
when they analysed Rosie's clothing,

they found fibres
from the interior carpet of a car.

They moved the body.

There's a second crime scene.
But we don't know where.

OK. So, she's choked unconscious,

moved by car,
laid out in the graveyard

and cut across the stomach...

but there's no sign of a murder
weapon when the police arrive.

Or a vehicle.

Can I have your names, please?

Alex Gilbey.

He's Tom Mackie.
And you?

Sigmund Malkiewicz.
I just wanna go home.

They need to speak to us, Weird,
we're witnesses.

Alex Gilbey, Tom Mackie,
Sigmund Malkiewicz,

I'm detaining you under Section 14

of the Criminal Procedure
Scotland Act 1995,

for the murder of Rosie Duff.
What?

You're not obliged to say anything,
but anything you do say may be noted

and used in evidence.

No, you don't understand.
We found her.

We need to take you to the station
and question you.

You said "detain". You said de...

Wait, what are you doing?

Don't make this harder
than it needs to be.

Stop it.

STRUGGLING

Why are you handcuffing us?
We didn't do anything!

What are you doing? Stop it!

Listen. We didn't see her tonight.

We don't know her. OK?

Didn't see her. Don't know her.

Could you hear me, Weird?

Are you getting this?

Didn't see her. Don't know her.

'Because they were never
charged with the murder,

'legally, I cannot
name the three students

'that were at the scene
of the crime.

'So, instead,
I will be giving them aliases.

'The Historian.
Because he was a history student.

'An eccentric, by all accounts.

'A party-boy
with a penchant for drugs,

'who was suspended from St Andrews
several times...

'..only to become a
university lecturer himself later.

'He could be teaching you,
or your child, or your sister...

'right now.

'Then there's The Artist, the
hardest of the three to research.

'He has no social media presence,

'barely any internet footprint
at all.

'Everyone has a right to privacy, but...

'it does prompt the question...

'does he have something to hide?

'And then The Medic.
Now a celebrated surgeon,

'people put their lives in his hands
every day.

'He's been described
as a prolific man.

'An incessant perfectionist.
A workaholic.

'He's doing a lot of good
in the world.

'And for that,
we should be thankful.

'But I have to ask
what's driving him.

'Is it guilt?'

I'm sorry.

So... they could only hold the boys
for six hours,

so they interviewed them immediately.

Sigmund Malki... Malkiewicz.
Is that right?

Polish, is it?
It's Ziggy.

Ziggy. Right.

Well, I'm Detective Inspector Maclennan,

this is Detective Sergeant Lawson,

and we're going to have a wee chat
about what happened tonight. Hmm?

So, shall we start at the beginning?

We were just walking home
from a party and... we found her.

That's not the beginning, though,
is it?

We watched the match.

Where?
The...

The Lammas pub.

Which is where Rosie worked.
Yeah... I guess so.

And did you see her there?

It was really busy.
Is that a yes or a no?

Just from afar.

Did your friends?

They might have.
Have you ever spoken to her?

I've ordered drinks from her.
So, you knew her?

No...

What time did you leave the Lammas?

Er, 10:30... 11:00-ish.

'And where did you go?'

'To a party.'
'Whose party?'

Some, erm... Some fourth years.

And where was this party?

I...

I don't know.
What time did you get to the party?

I'm not sure.

How long did you stay at the party?
Until we walked home.

Which was at what time?

BUZZING

I'm sorry, what?

Are you on something, Tom?
No.

We'll be testing you,
so you might want to be honest.

Was this party at Scooniehill Lane?

At this address?

He seems to think it happened
at the party.

It is a big house. It's an
abandoned manor, old, dilapidated...

So plenty of places
to sneak away to...

To have sex, do drugs.
Or, you know, kill someone.

I think that, at the pub,
you invited her to the party.

You wrote the address down here
for her.

She turned up,
and something went very, very wrong.

No! She never came.
So you did invite her?

But she didn't turn up.

That doesn't feel very likely, Ziggy.

I mean, you invited this girl
to a party,

and then we find your friends
with her body,

and you trying to flee the scene,
covered in blood.

No, I was... I was getting help.

And then you hide evidence.

I didn't... It...

It fell out of her pocket
when I was helping her,

I didn't realise
I still had it on me.

So you dropped it and obscured it.
Because I thought it would look bad!

This looks very bad, Ziggy.

And your story is, you invite her
to the party, she doesn't turn up,

and you just happen to stumble
across her on the way home.

Accept the cathedral isn't
on your way home, Ziggy, is it?

It adds a good ten minutes
to your journey.

Sometimes we just walk that way!
I don't know...

You do know, Ziggy.

You took her there. Either dead
or alive, you took her there.

No!
Something happened at that party.

Someone else did this.

Were you sleeping with her?
No!

Did you want to?
No.

Maybe she resisted?
And you didn't like that. No!

Maybe it was one of your friends. No.

Maybe they did this,
and you helped cover it up. No!

Why did you kill her, Ziggy?
Why did you strangle her?

I didn't.
One of you did. No!

Or did you rape her?
Didn't want her to tell anyone?

No!
Maybe you argued, huh?

Your hands went up to her neck...
No, I swear!

What did she do to make you so mad,
Ziggy?

Nothing!
She must have wound you up somehow.

No!

I didn't know her, I didn't see her.

I didn't kill her.

He's missing two things - murder
weapon and a second crime scene.

Is there any witness accounts
that place Rosie at the party?

They interviewed everyone
and nobody saw her.

But they must have searched it
top to bottom.

Yeah, they did,
and they didn't find anything.

Not a single hair, a drop of blood,
or any sign of a murder weapon.

Can we go?
It's since been demolished.

Brilliant. Right...

So, the last place she was seen
was...?

CCTV on the high street at midnight.

See? She ducks.
Doesn't want to be seen.

Iona, her friend, said that
she left the pub to meet someone.

One of these students?

Rosie didn't tell her.
She didn't tell anyone.

Why?

Probably her brothers.
Colin and Brian Duff.

Both extremely protective.
And they were there that night?

Mm. Both tough bastards - criminal
records, drunk driving, assault.

Did she have sex?

There's signs in the postmortem.
But no semen.

So, condom, or didn't finish.
Or she could have been interrupted.

Signs of assault? Rape?
Nothing definitive.

It could have just been rough sex.

But, look, this is interesting.

She was cut right across
the abdomen.

No, look below. She has a caesarean
scar. Across her lower stomach.

It's barely mentioned
in the reports.

Rosie had a baby?

But there's no mention of when
it happened, what happened to it,

or who the father was.

Surely an ex would be
the first place you'd look.

Why didn't they investigate it?
I don't know.

But maybe the brothers
can shine a light.

So, get across
the forensics tonight.

Tonight?

Yeah. Well, we'll go
and see the Duffs tomorrow.

Right. OK.

You got somewhere to be?

Just a HIIT class.

Right. Well, I could, er... I could
put one box on one side of the room

and on the other. And you could
run between them, if you like?

And try and beat your time?
I can play some bleeps, if you like?

OK, OK. Yeah, cos you said you
were really good at the bleep test.

Yeah, I'll do my homework.

Was one of the first things
that you said to me, actually.

Hey.
Hey.

How's it going?

All right.

You not going to text me back, then?

I'm sorry, KP. I'm really sorry.

I keep writing things,
then deleting them.

I've been trying to find
the right words.

Well, heh... Anything would've
been better than nothing.

I know.

We've known each other too long
to be falling out over a job.

I-I-I get it now.
It should be you on this job.

It's right that it's you.
What do you mean?

I-I spoke to Lees about it
and he explained everything.

Explained what?

Just what, you know, with the...
the podcast.

All the accusations she's making out
against the police

about gender violence and, you know,

it's appropriate that they got...
Sorry. Wait....

Are you saying they put me on this
because I'm a woman?

Not just that.

And that you've
all been talking about it,

saying that a female has to be
on this because it'll look better?

It's not a bad thing, Karen.

There's a bunch of mediocre
white men in the building

that get promoted all the time,

who cares why we move up,
as long as we're moving up?

I care, Phil. Because I don't want
to walk around this office

with men thinking that I'm a fraud
with a pair of tits.

No-one thinks that, Karen!

Jesus! Everyone knows
you're a good detective.

And a walking, talking PR win
for the service.

I'm not the enemy here, Karen. No...

but you still agree with them.

What the files won't tell you,
but Facebook will,

is that PC Janice Hogg
married Colin Duff in 2001.

PC Hogg, as in,
from this investigation?

The one that found Rosie.
And Rosie's brother?

Small towns are small towns.

And murder cases are very sexy.

They moved into the old Duff
family home after Rosie's dad died.

Hello. Janice.

Oh, no...

What have my boys done now?

It's, er...
It isn't about your boys, Archie.

May we come in?

Aye. Aye, of course. Come in.

Tea or coffee?
No, thank you.

They're taking it seriously, then.
Giving it to some kids.

We're taking it very seriously,
Mr Duff.

I'm DS Karen Pirie,
this is DC Murray.

I'm sorry, Archie.

Thinking about Eileen.

I've let her down.

I lost our baby.

I let this happen to our poor baby.

It's not your fault, Archie.

It's not. She'd know that.

We've detained three people
for questioning.

Who?!

I can't tell you any more than that
at this stage.

You have to. Who?!

I promise, I will keep you updated,
as and when...

Update us now!

If you don't,
we'll find out somehow.

Colin!

Just let Barney do his job.

Colin, we're going to want
to talk to you and Brian

about where you were last night.

What do you mean?

We'd just like your
recollections from the night.

You're going to make us
go through all this again.

I'm sorry. I wish I didn't have to.

Started in the pub. Both of us.

Rosie was behind the bar.

She left at some point and...
and we never noticed.

Brian went off with some girl...

...said he'd come back and get us
after he was done.

When the pub emptied out, that's
when I noticed she wasn't there.

I asked Iona where she'd gone,
she said she didn't know.

Maybe she'd popped out.

What time was this?

Half two.

Iona gave us the keys and said
I could wait in the pub

until Brian or Rosie turned up.

Only they never did.

I fell asleep
in this girl's bed.

I wish I hadnae.

Every day, I wish I hadnae.

Wish I'd never gone wi' her.

How long were you in her house?

Till eight in the morning.

Came back to my dad crying.

Never seen him cry before.

SOBBING

Iona said that Rosie went to
meet someone. But didn't know who.

We know who it was.

You do?
Of course we do.

I saw him talking to her that night.
Little dark-haired one. Pathetic.

Ziggy Malkiewicz.

He was inviting her to the party.

But... why am I explaining this
to you?!

You know all this,
it's in the files.

It's been there for 25 years.

We are going to talk to
Dr Malkiewicz as soon as we can.

Er, Mr Duff, we noticed
from the forensic reports

that Rosie had a caesarean scar
on her stomach.

Did Rosie have a child?
I don't see how this is relevant.

There just wasn't much information
on the reports.

All right, that's enough,
time to go.

Colin...
They don't know what they're doing.

I'm sorry, Mr Duff...
Go on, get out. Get out of my house!

We're sorry to have taken up
so much of your time.

Call the pathologist, Jan. Tell them
to expedite the post-mortem.

We've gotta let those boys go
in a few hours.

We need
every bit of help we can get.

DS Pirie?

Sorry, er...

The, er... The baby didn't survive.
A day or two, maybe.

Oh. I'm sorry.

The father was a local boy,
John Stobie,

just some kid from her class
at school.

Did you ever take a look into him?

Yeah. He was at university
somewhere, I think.

He had nothing to do with it.

It's a dead end.

Thanks, Janice. I appreciate it.

Well, I didn't quite soil myself,
but I was close.

Call Register House, will you?

See if you can get a
birth certificate for Rosie's baby,

and a death certificate, too.

We need to know what happened.

And see if you can track down
a John Stobie.

I mean now.

Yeah, sorry. Just waiting
for my heart rate to come down.

Dr Malkiewicz.

DS Karen Pirie.

Would you like a drink, Karen?

Surgery always makes me thirsty.

Sure.

I'm sorry, just,
you're in there six, eight hours,

and the focus gets you through,

but then you come out and you
realise you haven't eaten anything

since last night

and you can't remember the last time
you had a glass of water.

Well, I'd be a bit worried
if my surgeon was that dehydrated.

Well, if I passed out, they'd just
stick an IV straight in to me.

It's a joke.

I know what I'm doing in there.

Ha-ha.

You haven't returned
any of my calls.

Well, I don't really have to talk
to you. This is just a courtesy.

Well, then, I will offer you
a courtesy right back.

I've been listening
to your initial interview from 1996

and wanted to give you
the opportunity

to add anything
you may have missed out.

Missed out?

Well, it's been a long time.
Perspective can change things.

No, nothing's changed.

You stand by your testimony?

You saw Rosie in the pub, and
then you found her at the cathedral?

That's right.

I've been speaking
to the Duff brothers.

Well, you can immediately
discount anything they have to say.

That's very convenient.

They seem pretty sure
you were involved with their sister.

They're a pair of vicious thugs.
Rosie was terrified of them.

They controlled her life.
And how do you know that?

Well, everyone knew that.

Right.

But you did know her, didn't you?

You were seeing her, weren't you?

I'm gay, Detective.

Married now.

Happily. To a man.

Have you ever had relationships
with women?

Well, there was a time
when I was working myself out.

Rosie involved in that?

No.

You know, I don't think
I want to talk to you any more.

Not without a lawyer.

RADIO CHATTER

SIREN

SIRENS

Right. Nothing incriminating
in the students' house

or the party house.

And all three boys
are maintaining their innocence.

You don't think
we have enough to charge?

No, not yet.

Release them,
but we'll keep eyes on them.

Sir, how can we release them?

They are still under investigation, Janice.

We've got to let them go.

DOOR SLAMS

DOOR OPENS

DOOR OPENS

Register House just sent over a
birth certificate for Rosie's baby.

Does it have a father on there?
Printing now.

Orla Rose Duff,
born August 21st '93...

No dad.

Zoom in to that part.

Adopted?

How can she be adopted
if she only lived a day or two?

Maybe she didn't die...

...but that means Rosie lied
to everyone.

Why?

DS Karen Pirie.

Hi. John Stobie.

Thank you.

I mean, I knew her.
We were friends when we were wee.

You never had a relationship
with her?

Not even close.

We used to walk home from school
together sometimes,

that was the extent of it.

Did you ever sleep with her?

Never.

Is this...

from her brothers?

I don't really know
where it came from, or why.

I just remember one day, they were
waiting outside school for me.

They followed me halfway home,

then,
when there was no-one around...

...they jumped me.

Battered me.

Black and blue.

Did they say why?

They said I'd slept with Rosie.

Got her pregnant.

Wouldn't believe me
when I said it wasn't true.

Did you talk to Rosie about it?

I stayed far away from her
after that.

They broke my nose.

Collarbone.

Couple of ribs.

I'm so sorry.

It's a long time ago now.

I have always wondered, though,

why me?

Why did she tell them it was me?

It sounds as though she was
protecting someone else.

Please!

HELP!

PLEASE!

PANTING

Hm.

You OK?

Yeah...

Yeah.

What was it?

Did you dream I cheated on you
with Dua Lipa again?

No.

That would be so much worse.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Say it again.

Everything is going to be OK.

Sir?

Sir.

Thanks for taking the time.

Not at all, I've been looking
forward to meeting you, Karen.

DCS Lawson was there
the first time around,

so will be an invaluable source
for you.

Thank you, sir.

Rosie's baby...
Getting straight into it, I see.

There's barely any mention of it
in the files.

There's a brief reference to it
in the post-mortem,

but no further details. Why?

Well, DI MacLennan was very good
friends with Rosie's father, Archie.

He wanted it kept out of the reports
as much as possible.

She was 15 when she got pregnant.
He didn't want people finding out,

judging her, for being so young.

Right.

Why wouldn't you look into
who the father was?

The family answered that for us.

John Stobie?

Yeah. A local boy,
as far as I remember.

Rosie told her family the baby died.

It didn't.

There's no death certificate,
we've checked.

It was adopted.

And that local boy?
I've spoken to him.

He can't be the father
because he never slept with her.

How do you know? Have you
looked into him as a suspect?

He's got a solid alibi
for the night she died.

He was away at Leeds, at university.

There's no way he could have
killed her.

And the important thing here is...

Her child is still alive.

And we don't know
who the father was.

No. I don't think that's important -

a relationship from three years
previous? How's it connected?

The lies. Why would she hide it?

She was 15, that's why. Why would
you cover up who the father was?

Maybe he was 17, and knew
the family would press charges.

We should be looking into that!

I'd like to go to Child Services...
Hang on.

I can trace the child...
These things are sensitive.

Ask her to take a DNA test.

The Duff family would disagree.
...I could probably find the father.

PIRIE!

Tracing adopted children should
always, always be a last resort.

We can't just go marching
into people's lives causing chaos!

These things, they have to be
properly considered.

This person could be living
a perfectly happy life,

completely unaware that
their birth mother was murdered,

and that that murder
remains unsolved. But, Sir...

No.

No. We are already
under the microscope.

Anything we do, any slip-up,
it'll be podcasted

and bloody message-forumed
all over the internet...

Oh, sir, that's...
DI Lees is right, Karen.

We have to tread gently.

It's good to know
that we have that option,

should all other avenues
be exhausted.

Have you considered the possibility

that one of the students
could have been the father?

They weren't in St Andrews yet.

No. But two of them lived in
Kirkcaldy. Only half an hour away.

And they were older than her.

As Lees says, that would give her
a good reason to hide it.

I'll look into it, Sir.

Do.

Good work, Sergeant.

We could have done with some
of that thinking first time around.

All right, quick as you can.

I've been hassling forensics
for the report.

Any luck?

Not yet, but they've given us a
heads-up. They found a certain type

of fibre all over Rosie's clothes.

It needs further tests,

but they reckon they're
from carpeting found in a car.

What, over everything?

She was lying on the carpet,
probably in the boot.

She was moved.

Did the students
have any access to a vehicle?

I can find out.

We need to move the car.

How are we going to do that?
They're gonna be watching us!

We don't know that.

That's what they do -
they monitor you.

It's not worth the risk, Zig.
We just got out.

But think about how bad it'll be
if they find it.

Where did you leave it, Weird?

I'm not sure.

How can you not be sure?

I was off my face, Ziggy!
You shouldn't have been driving.

Jeez, arrest me!

Right, the girl -

the one you're driving home -

where does she live?

Well, call her! I can't! They'll be
listening in on the phone.

Don't be stupid!

And I don't have her number.
Where are the keys?

Think I left them in there.

Well, that's one smart thing
that you did.

I just wanna go home.

They said that we could go back
to Kirkcaldy.

You can go to Weird's,
and I'll stay here tonight.

And do what?

I'll go out after dark
to find the car. And I'll move it.

I'll take it back.

'Did you hear about that case'

where someone threw a brick
off an overpass

and it smashed through the
windscreen and killed the driver?

No. What?

They found traces of DNA
on the brick

and then they traced him
through an ancestry website.

Oh.
And didn't you...

No. ..go on some dates... No.

...with that guy from that site?
What was his name?

Rob, and I am not going back there.
Hear me out.

Rosie lied about
who the father of her baby was.

That means there's a story there.

Something is up.

But Lees and Lawson won't let me
go to Child Services

to find out where she is.

So you want to go to
WhatsMyHeritage.com?

That's what it's called!

I know it sounds mad,
but loads of people use them now,

and they have these huge DNA banks

that might be bigger
than the police's.

I don't see how this connects.

Say you're adopted,
like Rosie's child was,

you'd probably be quite interested
in finding out

who your long lost family were.

You'd sign up to a site like that
and send in your DNA.

So you wanna send Rosie's DNA in?

Yeah. See if there's any matches.

If I can find the kid's, then I can
find the father, Rosie's ex,

and I can find out
what Rosie was hiding.

The only problem is,

they don't open up their databases
to just anyone.

No.

Oh, come on,
I thought you liked Rob? I did!

If anything, too much.

It was... intense.

Doesn't sound bad.

He sexted me all the time,
non-stop.

I honestly ran out of things to say.

I ran out of...

...camera angles.
It was exhausting - it had to end.

Come on, take one for the team!

It's poking a bear, Karen.
A horny bear.

OK.

Will you just think about it?

Fine. I mean, I do feel for you
with this podcast lady.

What do you mean?

On Twitter, she's always riling
everyone up. Look at this.

"Fife Police - victim-shaming"
and there's the video.

What video?

In light of these events,
I would like to ask the women,

particularly the young women
of St Andrews

and the surrounding areas,
to be particularly vigilant.

I would also advise against
venturing outdoors alone after dark.

And you should also make sure
that someone knows

where you are at all times.

If at any point you feel threatened
or see anything out of the ordinary,

please contact the police
straight away.

Any further questions?

Your warning implies that
it's up to the women of St Andrews

to keep themselves safe.

I just want to take any measures
we can,

combined with excellent policing,
to keep our daughters,

granddaughters, sisters,
out of harm's way.

You detained three people
and have since released them.

Is that not putting women
in more danger?

As is law in Scotland,

an arrest cannot be made
without sufficient evidence.

Enquiries are ongoing.
Can you reveal their names?

Not until they are charged,
if they are charged.

So you'll protect them,
but not the women of St Andrews?

'We are doing everything
in our power

'to bring Rosie's killer to justice.

'If anyone out there knows anything,
anything at all,

'please do not hesitate
to get in touch.'

Apparently, all the rooms
have Jacuzzi baths.

Head in the game, Murray.

Are you looking for me?

Bel Richmond?

Thought so.
You don't look like golf tourists.

DS Pirie. This is DC Murray.

An expensive place to stay
for a couple of weeks.

Yeah, I'm lucky.
They've been so supportive.

The hotel?
The chain. They sponsor us.

Oh. Great business opp.
A dead girl...

Oh, this is off the record,
by the way.

No, I won't use any of it
on the podcast.

That's right.

Thank you.

Just need to be sure. Yeah.

I'm delighted
you're reopening the case.

Oh, you are? Oh, you seem sceptical
of the police on the podcast.

I have to ask questions.

Sometimes, those questions
aren't very helpful.

Well, I think the Duff family
want them answered.

I can't stop you reporting,
we both know that.

And why would you?
I think the pressure helps.

Very sure of your opinions.

You can't think the original
investigation was well run?

I don't think you know much
about the original investigation.

I know they haven't re-examined
the case for a quarter of a century.

Aren't they supposed to review
these things every few years?

Why didn't they?

Until...

I came along.

If mistakes were made,
I am correcting them now.

Well...

I'd like to help you.

I have done a lot of research.

I've spent weeks on my hands
and knees in people's attics,

going through old boxes of photos, yearbooks,

tracked down friends of Rosie's...

Well, we'll take a look
at all of that.

Oh, no, I'm not sure that...

You wouldn't want to
withhold evidence, would you?

No, of course not.

Right.

Great.

Jesus Christ!

I need to protect my sources,

so you won't be able
to take any of it away with you.

I'll have to supervise.

Yeah, no problem.

Murray'll stay.

I...

Can I just have a minute with you,
sarge?

You can't be serious?

We need to know what she has
so we can be one step ahead.

What if she's got 18 boxes
of flippin' nothing?

Well, then, you've had a nice day in
a hotel room with a charming lady.

You're not staying?
No, I'll kill her.

Oh, she's gonna grill me all day.

And you can't say a thing.

Or you'll kill me. Correct.

Oh, Murray,
don't get in the Jacuzzi bath.

'The person you've called
is not available.

'Please leave your message
after the tone.'

BEEP

Hi, Mr Mackie.
It's DS Karen Pirie here again.

I'm just wondering if I can
get a moment of your time.

I wanted to let you know we're
re-examining the Rosie Duff case

and I'd like to speak to you
about your recollections of that.

HEARTBEAT

BUZZING

Sir, would you like
to have a look at your baby?

You look after yourself, OK?

I'll be back in Kirkcaldy tomorrow.

Love you, bro.

'Police have continued to shock
the residents of St Andrews

'following the discovery
of the body of a young woman

'in the cathedral grounds in the
early hours of yesterday morning.

'The woman, identified by the police
as Rosie Duff, was discovered...'

So, why this case, anyway?

It doesn't sound like
you're from round here.

I went to St Andrews.

People would
always talk about it, you know?

Someone knew someone who knew Rosie,

someone's girlfriend was living
in the three students' house,

someone heard a rumour
about who really did it...

Who was that, then?

Could save me some time.

Trust me, I went down those roads -
didn't lead anywhere.

So...

Why podcasting, then?
What got you into that?

Are you asking me questions
so I don't ask anything of you?

Erm... Absolutely.

Mm. Sneaky.

Doesn't mean I'm not interested.

Er...

It's just a really direct way
of telling a story.

I like that people
who maybe wouldn't read the paper

or a long piece online
might tune in.

I guess that's me, then.
I listen to it in the gym.

As long as you're listening,
I don't mind where.

OK, my turn.

What sort of physical evidence...?

No. No. No. No, you're gonna
have to try harder than that.

Mr Gilbey. Hi, just thought
I'd try you again.

It's DS Karen Pirie here.

I'd really appreciate a chat
if possible.

Er, you can...

you can find me on this number. Thanks.

Celebration?

Sort of, yeah.

I spoke to Lawson and...

...he's moving me up to Murder Squad.

That's great.

I'm sorry, KP.

I'm an arsehole.

Yeah.

But I knew that before.

Yeah, and you used to like it.

OK, Phil.

Look, have you got time for a drink,
now?

No. Not really.

I'm gonna have to drink this
all by myself, which...

is a bit sad.

Yeah.

I'll see you around.

Hey.

It's starting again.

The questions from the police.

The press attention.

The... looks,

the whispers -
and it's worse this time,

because there's the internet.

I think...

we need to do this differently
this time.

What do you mean by that?

I think we need
to tell them the truth.

You started this, Ziggy.

Which is why I'm the one
suggesting that we come clean.

No, not after all this time.

I can't eat, I can't sleep,

I keep on running and running,

thinking it's gonna clear my head.
I'm cracking up!

We're all cracking up, Ziggy.
Yes, but my job needs me lucid!

There won't be work in prison.

We've all got responsibilities.
We've all got something to lose.

I've got a baby on the way.

But we made promises
to each other...

and we can't go back on them now.

It will pass.
Alex, I...

It will pass.

It did before.

Hold the course.

We stick to the story.

I-I just...

...I don't think I can.

Well, you better, Ziggy, OK?

I think it's time to start drinking.

I'm technically on the clock.

Oh, come on!

And driving.

It's Chateauneuf du Pape.

One can't hurt.

Thanks.

I know your plan.

Get me drunk...

lock the door.

Torture me until I tell you
something you don't already know.

Is it so bad to want to enjoy
a glass of wine with our work?

It's heavy stuff.

Where are these from?

Oh... another student.

There's a couple of the boys there,
but nothing that I...

I need to take this.
Wait, what?

I'm sorry -
thank you for the wine...

No, no, wait, what?!

Whose party is this?!
Toad of Toad Hall?

Some fourth years found it and,
apparently, nobody lives here,

so it's all ours!

DANCE MUSIC PLAYING

Hey, drink some water, man.

That Dorothy's all right, eh?
Kind of looks a bit like Rosie.

Maybe chew some gum.
I'm gonna chew on her.

She had a thirst for knowledge

You all right?
Yeah.

I've gotta say something.

You need to stop messing around.
You're either in it or you're not.

And if you're not...

then go and do one, Rosie.

Sarge!

I tried to call -
you didn't pick up.

It's kind of urgent, though.

They lied.
She was at the party with Ziggy.

Where did this come from?

Another student.
Bel didn't think they were useful.

Smells good.
Where you been?

Oh, you know, surgery ran over. Complications.

Go OK in the end?
Yeah, it was fine.

Ah! No. No. You're not running now.

My mind's going...

No, come on, sit down, talk to me.
I've got to, OK? It's...

It's the only thing keeping me sane
at the minute.

Do you really think
it's keeping you sane?

OK! But we're eating dinner together
afterwards, though.

No phones.

But you must remember something
about where you left it?

Well, can you at least try, Weird?

It's a freaking car,
not a contact lens.

SIGHS

All right. All right, I'm gonna go.

No, no, the pigs are out the front.

Yeah, I'll go out the back.
They won't see me.

All right.

All right, bye.

You haven't said anything
in about 20 minutes, Col.

Yeah, there's not much to say.

I know.

I know.

I just want to hurt something!

I know where they live.

The three they caught.
I saw them, going home.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?!

Get in the car.

Col, that was one of them!
No, it wasn't.

See, I told you!

Are you one of them?

It is, Colin, I swear, we've seen
them in the pub, talking to her!

Right, let me out.

Come here. Come here.

Get off!

Get off!

Get in. Get in.

Go, Donnie! Go! Go!

This is huge. I asked him yesterday,
to his face,

"Do you want to change your story,"
and he said no,

he saw her at the pub
and then the cathedral.

But now we know she was at the party
with him. MacLennan was right.

Her brothers were right.

He's been lying all this time,
and finally we've caught him in it.

You knew my sister.
No!

Don't lie to me.

You were seen hanging around
the Lammas bar.

I saw you talking to her,
you and your pals. I can't breathe!

Did she meet you three?
No!

See, I don't believe you.
Where are you taking me?

To make you tell the truth.

No.

Every time you do this,
it gets worse for you.

No, please, stop, stop!
Stop, please!

Climb it.

Climb it or I will kill you.

I don't care any more.

We lost Rosie.

Rosie's dead.

CRIES OUT

Always wondered what was down there.

I did warn you.

No. No. What's down there? No! No!
No. No.

Tell me what happened
and I'll let you go.

I've told you everything!

Why are you still lying to me?

Hold onto me, Donnie.

Why do you think I'm lying?!

I heard you were there,
covered in her blood.

You killed her!

No, I swear, I swear to God.

HE YELLS

DS Karen Pirie, this is DC Murray -
what's going on?

Hit and run. White male, early 40s.

Can we approach?
Ma'am.

DS Karen Pirie, Serious Crime.
Do you have an ID on this victim?

Sure. Here you are.

Is he injured or...?
No, he's...

He's dead.

'Trauma can have a ripple effect.

'At the centre is the victim -

Rosie was in the car with Weird
that night.

Who was she there to see?

I really don't know.

I will kill you with my bare hands.

Colin, your alibi for the time
of Rosie's murder isn't solid.

You don't think that
I'm feeling some consequences?

I felt like
I needed to do something.

They've posted pictures
of Ziggy and Weird.

They've been named on the internet.
So their identities are out there?

You have sabotaged this case
so profoundly

that I am in one mind
to take you off it completely.
