00:12Merit?
00:14Hello?
00:20Merit Lingard!
00:22Is that you?
00:24Did you just...
00:26No!
00:40Hello?
00:46Hey!
00:50I'm talking to you!
00:56I'm an officer at the court!
00:58Do you know what that means?
01:00It means the...
01:02Every police officer in the country is gonna be out there looking for me right now!
01:04Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in?
01:06No!
01:08No!
01:09No!
01:10No!
01:11No!

01:30No!
01:35No!
01:37American!
01:38Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in?
01:39Who's my brother?
01:41Is my brother here?
01:42Have you got my brother?
01:43I swear to God of your fucking dungeon!
01:44Oh, my God.
02:14A hundred percent it gets under my skin.
02:27A hundred percent.
02:28But more than that, you know what?
02:29It just, it confuses me.
02:32Tattie pies, what the fuck?
02:34It's just goodbye, Carl.
02:35It's not.
02:36No, no, no.
02:36Tatties are potatoes.
02:38What the fuck do potatoes have to do with saying goodbye?
02:40Potatoes are fucking food stuff.
02:42What the fuck do Cheerios have to do with saying goodbye?
02:46Cheerios are a fucking breakfast cereal.
02:48You're being facetious, yay.
02:49No, I'm just trying to find a plumber.
02:51Do you have any recommendations?
02:53Not my area of expertise.
02:55Mine either.
02:56It's the need to look up an actual expert.
02:58You eat Scotland so much.
03:01Why did you ever move here?
03:02I'm married into it.
03:04Well, now you can leave.
03:05Finally.
03:06Give us our fucking independence.
03:08How is it you're supposed to actually be helping me, huh?
03:10If your dishwasher breaks, you call in a plumber.
03:12In this scenario, Carl, I'm your plumber.
03:17Half of my life is spent with gross incompetence left, right and centre, and the other half
03:21is in a very, very ill-tempered, jizzed-up teenager.
03:23He's not even mine.
03:25He's not even mine.
03:26I somehow won him in the great coconut shy of divorce, along with some silverware, which
03:30frankly needs an awful lot less polishing.
03:31I didn't know you had a son.
03:38Stepson.
03:40You share custody.
03:42Oh, no, no, no.
03:43Lucky me.
03:43I get Jasper all to myself.
03:47He's not with his mother.
03:49Victoria travels a lot with work, and she thought it'd be better for Jasper to have a...
03:54...strong male figure in his life at this, as she puts it.
04:00Crucial juncture in his development.
04:03Wow.
04:06I have to say, Carl, I'm surprised.
04:09That?
04:10The reason you haven't left.
04:12That's a massive commitment you signed on for.
04:14Don't worry, I fought her on it.
04:16There he is.
04:17The time came to take him to his grandmother's house, and I was just like...
04:21And I couldn't.
04:24I couldn't.
04:25I couldn't leave him there.
04:26Couldn't do it.
04:27Because you care about him.
04:28No, I fucking hate that old bitch.
04:33How old's Jasper?
04:35Seventeen.
04:36Fuck you, tuck me in.
04:39Excuse me?
04:40Teenagers.
04:41They need to hate you so they can leave you when the time comes, but at the same time they don't want to go, so they drive everybody nuts.
04:48Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Jasper's not that conflicted.
04:50You've got a lot going on in your life right now, Carl.
04:53Yeah, yeah, you could say that, Rachel.
04:54Yeah, yeah.
04:55It's no wonder you went to Lally on live TV.
04:59But that's our time for today.
05:03Wow.
05:04I feel like we made a real breakthrough.
05:08Uh-huh.
05:09Tidy bye, Carl.
05:14Cheerio, Rachel.
05:18We need to revisit the crime scene, take another walkthrough.
05:21There must be something we've missed.
05:22And, while you're at it, we have another chat with the neighbours.
05:28We must remember something.
05:38You can't be here.
05:39How long's it been now?
05:40Four months?
05:41You know I can't discuss the case with you.
05:42It's called professional courtesy, even if only one of us is actually a professional.
05:46And only one of us is actually Curtis.
05:49Touché.
05:50I'm going to have Moira move the team to somewhere you can't find us.
05:55Oh, good luck in this fucking Nazi castle.
05:57I tell you what, why don't we actually trade?
05:59You take our primo spot down in the changing dungeon and we come up here into the light.
06:03Keep it up, Carl, and one might get the idea you're trying to sabotage the investigation.
06:08I'm actually trying to help you.
06:09It's just that you are too fucking insecure to accept it.
06:12Why not just tell me what you think instead of being your usual chesty prick?
06:20Shooter was waiting inside for us when we got there.
06:23Just the other day you told D.C. Wilson and D.C. Clark that they should have been waiting outside.
06:28I told them someone was waiting outside.
06:30You used the word shooter.
06:32We would have heard or seen someone come inside.
06:35Not if they came in through the back door.
06:36Especially if they came in through the back door.
06:39There were bins piled up in front of it.
06:40Why would anyone do that?
06:42Because most of the people in those flats used that space as another room.
06:47Inside there was a chair in front of the door.
06:49Meaning that anyone coming in through the back would first have to move the bins and then open the door and then move the chair.
06:53All of which, what, without us hearing them?
06:56But the chair was moved aside and the bins were unlocked over.
06:59Yeah, neither of which is the case when Hardy and I arrived.
07:01I clocked the bins, I clocked the chair.
07:02Why? Because it's part of the fucking job.
07:03Now, the dead man had been in there for a while.
07:05The daughter said she hadn't heard from it for a few days.
07:08Yeah?
07:08So, someone sat there in the house overnight.
07:12Waiting for...
07:13What?
07:14I don't know.
07:15I'm merely pointing out that someone went out, not in the back door, after the shooting.
07:19Also, CCTV shows a guy in McDonald's roughly around about 25 minutes before the shooting starts.
07:24Yeah?
07:24He obviously left and came back before you and Hardy arrived.
07:27Why?
07:28According to you, he got thirsty.
07:29The cup was over there, where the Ford was parked, indicating that he ate his chips and drank his McFlurry.
07:36Over there.
07:37So, depending on how fast he did his eating and drinking, that's another 10 minutes or so before he went to the fucking flat.
07:41Yep.
07:41He could have got back in time to re-enter the fire before you and Hardy arrived.
07:45It's a short drive to McDonald's.
07:46Well, it better be a very short drive, because the CCTV puts a guy in a hoodie dressed in black in the McDonald's at just after 10.15.
07:52He's in there for 12 minutes, which takes us to 10.30.
07:55PC Anderson's body cam puts the shooting exactly eight minutes later.
08:00So, that's eight minutes to drive back to Leith Park.
08:04Eat, drink, beat us to the flat, get into the flat, and then shoot us.
08:07In fact, it is less than eight minutes, because PC Anderson arrived before that.
08:11If you couldn't have been there in time, then you negate your argument that the shitter was already inside before you and Hardy arrived.
08:16Your witness?
08:20So, she saw someone get into the Ford immediately after the shooting and drive away?
08:26Formal witness, but yes.
08:27Towards which direction did she say the car drove away?
08:31Towards the football pitch.
08:32And on which side of the car did she say the person got in?
08:37She didn't maybe go back and ask her, yeah?
08:59Bloody hell.
09:02There were two of them.
09:03Oh, aye.
09:11Hardy.
09:13I, er, brought you up.
09:21For fuck's sake, Rose, stop your grating.
09:24You make me feel worse.
09:27So, what's going on?
09:28How's Carl treating you?
09:30He barely notices me.
09:31Doubt that.
09:31Gives Akram all the good stuff.
09:33Gives me all the shite work.
09:35Such as?
09:36I'm on my way out to Moore.
09:38To look at William Lingard's attack, but I think he just wants to keep me away from the investigation.
09:43He brought you on.
09:44Why would they want to keep you away?
09:45Because I basically blackmailed him into bringing me on.
09:47No one can blackmail Carl.
09:49Why not?
09:49Because he doesn't give a shit.
09:51Trust me on this.
09:52If he didn't want you there, he wouldn't be there.
09:54So, what's your plan for Moore?
09:58I'm, er, taking the ferry.
10:00Oh, not how you get in there.
10:01What the fuck are you going to do over there?
10:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:03Um, I, er, thought I'd, er, first speak to the constable.
10:07Get his perspective.
10:08But his perspective means fuck all.
10:10It's only your perspective that matters.
10:12What's my perspective?
10:13Exactly.
10:14Go see the constable, but only to tell him that you're on the job.
10:18And if he can help with a file or a map, something you don't really need,
10:21just make him feel like he matters.
10:22That way he leaves you alone.
10:24Okay.
10:25Um, and then I can go and visit the crime scene?
10:2716 years past.
10:28Waste of time.
10:28What, you want to get a feel of it?
10:29A feel?
10:30All you're going to feel is, okay, so this is where it happened.
10:34So...
10:35They had somebody right for it, didn't they?
10:37He died trying to get away.
10:39Henry somebody.
10:40Harry Jennings.
10:41Harry Jennings.
10:42Start there.
10:43With the dead guy?
10:44With the dead guy.
10:45With his family, with his friends, with his fucking girlfriend.
10:47You're looking for connections.
10:49This was nearly 20 years ago.
10:50It's probably got nothing to do with Harry.
10:52Probably not, but every spoke leads you back to the hub,
10:54so pick one and make it your own.
10:57Carl will tell you that.
10:58Nero Wolfe.
10:59Whoever the fuck that is.
11:00And what spoke are you going to follow?
11:02What all happened in the weeks after the disappearance?
11:05We don't know what happened.
11:06Well, we don't know what happened to Merit,
11:07but she existed in the world.
11:10She caused ripples with people, institutions, things,
11:12and these ripples, in turn, cause patterns in her life.
11:16It can be useful to see if these patterns change
11:18after one ceases to exist.
11:20Hmm.
11:21Nero Wolfe again.
11:22That one was Carl.
11:25But that would assume that it was somebody already in her life
11:28that took her.
11:28It's a fucking guess, aye.
11:30But that's what we start with, isn't it?
11:32Guesses.
11:32We just happen to call them theories.
11:34Hmm.
11:35Oh, my God.
12:02Come on.
12:32So, there the guy is, sitting in the pub, stark naked, pint in front of him, just waiting
12:58on me to arrest him.
12:59LAUGHTER
13:00God, you must have so many great stories.
13:05Too many, yeah.
13:07Go on.
13:08That's the Royal Regiment of Scotland's 4th Battalion.
13:11Yeah, the Highlanders.
13:12You know military history?
13:14Oh, well, I know that the Highlanders descended from the Seafers, the Camersons and the Gordons.
13:18Oh, well, dear Viola, look.
13:20Oh, can I?
13:21Oh, of course.
13:22Oh, God, they're beautiful.
13:25Where'd you get them?
13:27I made them.
13:28No, you did not.
13:29Aye, I did.
13:31Well, they are beautiful.
13:34Oh, wow.
13:34How does an arsehole like you have for a boss recruit someone as lovely as you, eh?
13:40I'm not so lovely.
13:42I have a dark soul.
13:43Oh, I bet you do.
13:44Mm, multiple personalities.
13:46Even better.
13:47I could use more than one of you.
13:49Unlike the nitwits I've got here.
13:51That's Colin, my eldest.
13:53Nothing more moving than the love between a father and son.
13:56If you say so.
13:57Uh, so there's eight of you on the force over here.
14:01Aye.
14:01Two of them are part-time, though.
14:03Don't suppose there's much crime?
14:05Yeah, a pub fight.
14:06Public intoxication, you know.
14:08I mean, it's an island, after all, you know.
14:10You rob the bank.
14:11Where are you going to go?
14:12So, say, someone breaking into a house to steal this or that and beating someone to a pulp.
14:17That would be unusual.
14:18Very.
14:19Not to mention the suspect getting killed, making his escape.
14:22Guess we're talking about the Lingard here.
14:23Well, actually, I'm more interested in the suspect, Harry Jennings, the boy who broke
14:29into their house and almost beat William Lingard to death.
14:31I know who you mean.
14:33The other robberies that month, there was no violence involved.
14:36None.
14:37Did you consider, then, that Harry wasn't involved in the others?
14:39Of course I did, but there was no one home during the other burglaries.
14:43And, as soon as he was of age, I was pulling that lad off other boys in the pub at least once
14:49a week.
14:50He had what I would call a foul temper.
14:52Harry was easy to piss off, then.
14:54The lad was born pissed off.
14:56He came out of his mother pre-enraged.
14:59So, it was just bad luck, then, that William was home.
15:02Aye.
15:03And that's all it was.
15:05Very bad luck.
15:06And Merritt left right after that.
15:08She got on the heli to hospital with her brother and didn't come back.
15:11She came back one time.
15:14For the funeral.
15:14Aye, for once, you're right.
15:18She did come back to the funeral.
15:20Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
15:22She came back for the funeral of the boy who almost beat her own brother to death.
15:25Harry and Merritt were close.
15:27Well, if they were so close, why would he rob our house?
15:30Because the family were desperate.
15:31Clive Jennings' business had gone bust a year before.
15:34Can I talk to Clive?
15:35Aye, if you're clairvoyant.
15:37He died, what, six years ago?
15:39And the mum, Elsa?
15:40You do do your homework, don't you?
15:42You sure you don't want to come and work for me?
15:43You could train Colin up, eh?
15:45Maybe marry him, set him straight.
15:47No, no.
15:48He's too handsome.
15:50I'd be distracted.
15:53Aye, Elsa's still with us, but she's not a very social person.
15:58Can I always knock on her door, see what happens?
16:00Colin will show you the way.
16:01I can find it.
16:02All the same.
16:04Colin will take you.
16:06He really ate his lunch in there.
16:07It wasn't that hard.
16:08Your mates, the, you know, the ones that came over last time.
16:11They give you the heads up and the old toy soldiers.
16:14I have no idea what you're talking about.
16:17I just love men in uniform.
16:19You really think I'm handsome, do you?
16:21Uh, yeah.
16:23Yeah, you're like a young gay Ralph Fiennes.
16:28Well, cut the straight in him outline.
16:31That's good.
16:32Again, it wasn't hard.
16:36One of these days I'm going to leave.
16:37I can't say I blame you.
16:39You may have noticed that talking to the lane guards and the Jennings is a bit of a sort of subject for the constable.
16:46You call your dad the constable?
16:47Yeah, well, sure as fuck don't call him da.
16:50Have you seen the crime scene photos of the break-in?
16:53Uh, yeah, yeah.
16:54Yeah, I've looked at them.
16:55Why?
16:55What about them?
16:56After your boss requested the case files, the constable went and dug them out the archives,
17:01and he stayed in the office all night reading them.
17:04Yeah, Carl has a brilliant way of motivating people.
17:06Oh, this was more than motivated.
17:08I mean, he was upset.
17:09So I went and had a wee look at the files myself.
17:14Little devil.
17:17And?
17:17I'd never read them before, because, you know, I was just a kid then, but man, it was, it was brutal.
17:23Like, the crime scene photos made me sick to my stomach.
17:27You know how he pretty much caved in William Scott?
17:29Mm-hmm.
17:29Gave him brain damage.
17:30Oh, so there was this tech photo of the room that they found William in, but someone had, uh, circled something that was lying on the floor with a black marker.
17:43Circled what?
17:44A necklace.
17:47Any idea why it was circled?
17:49No.
17:50And you'd think your dad was the one who circled it?
17:55Why?
17:56Couldn't possibly say.
17:57Could you, um, could you scan the photo?
18:04Uh, yeah, I could.
18:05Might make the constable look bad.
18:10Or maybe that's the idea.
18:11Yeah.
18:27Um, exactly what kind of hazardous waste am I talking about?
18:45Oh, um, asbestos?
18:49Uranium, maybe?
18:50I've never really thought about it.
18:53I don't have to worry about.
18:54Yeah.
18:59This place used to be full of men, 24-7.
19:03What was Jennings' business?
19:05You name it, Clive Jennings fixed it, or painted it, or scrapped it.
19:09It's the old Jennings' abode over there.
19:21How did it burn down?
19:23Well, like the constable likes to say,
19:25it all started when a bolt of lightning struck the insurance policy.
19:30Mrs. Jennings, it's Colin Cunningham.
19:33Er, I'm coming in.
19:37Hello?
19:40Ilsa?
19:43It's Colin.
19:45That explains the dead parts.
19:51Ilsa, go ahead.
19:51She's probably at church.
20:02It's Tuesday?
20:03Yeah, I know, but she has, like, a part-time job there as a bookkeeper.
20:07And you're just remembering this now?
20:10Your dad's right.
20:11You are a nitwit.
20:15Rather cutting?
20:15You know, it's, uh, it's not that far from here if you want to drive over.
20:20No, I can't miss a ferry.
20:26You know, in a way, I'm relieved.
20:28I mean, what was I supposed to ask her?
20:31What was it like losing your son?
20:33No offence, but what a place to grow up.
20:37No wonder Merrick ran away.
20:39Everything dies here.
20:42Well, it's not that easy to get away from here.
20:45Merrick did?
20:46No, she only thought she did.
20:47In the end, she died in the same water as Harry.
20:53Yeah.
20:53Mm-hmm.
20:56You've got to go, you've got to go there.
20:57So, close to places June, squats down,
21:00does us, does the business.
21:02And we, although it's in,
21:03we're in the place,
21:05and this wee dog holes in the house.
21:07Spaniel?
21:08We blamed on the Spaniel.
21:10And we're like,
21:11there's no way something that big comes out of Spaniel.
21:13The thing was bigger than the Spaniel.
21:16Evening, Carl.
21:17Evening, Victoria.
21:19So, love,
21:21what happened to my snow globe collection?
21:23Burgled by someone with no taste.
21:25He threw them all in the bin.
21:28But don't worry,
21:29I managed to shield your lovely prince
21:30from his evil clutches.
21:32Oh, thank you, Martin.
21:33The place looks just as I left it, Carl.
21:35Mm-hmm.
21:36Like a mausoleum.
21:37Hmm.
21:39Well, I haven't got long.
21:41I'm back out in the Frankfurt flight.
21:44You let yourself in, it's your meeting.
21:46I let it in.
21:47You know the way out.
21:48Charming as always.
21:49Bye, babe.
21:54You look, we're off.
21:55I nearly died.
21:56What?
21:57This morning.
21:58Hmm.
21:59How's what's his name in duty-free?
22:01He's a fucking pilot.
22:02He's a fucking dick.
22:03Mm.
22:04Okay.
22:05Jasper left.
22:06He's staying with your mum.
22:07I assume she phoned you,
22:08hence this lovely surprise.
22:09Yeah, she phoned me.
22:11What happened?
22:12What happened is you paid him
22:13that fucking voicemail.
22:14No, that's not the reason he left.
22:16He and I made a deal.
22:17A pact.
22:17Things were getting better.
22:18Oh, you made a deal.
22:19Yeah, he needs a father,
22:20not a fucking car salesman.
22:22And then you poke your nose in
22:23and balls it up.
22:24It's like you want to sabotage things.
22:25Fucking amazes me.
22:26And why would I want to do that?
22:27Why would you play him the voicemail?
22:29Because I want him to know
22:30it wasn't his fault.
22:31What wasn't his fault?
22:32The way you are with him.
22:33Oh, fuck.
22:33With everyone, really.
22:34I want him to know
22:35it's not about him.
22:36It's about you.
22:38What, he idolises you
22:39and you just push him away?
22:40Idolises me?
22:41He barely grunts at me.
22:43Oh, he's 17.
22:43He's not exactly going
22:44to recite poetry, is he?
22:46But when you were rushed
22:46into hospital, he was there.
22:48And he never left
22:49until you were out of surgery,
22:50out of danger.
22:54How do you know that?
22:55Mum told me.
22:59Never said anything to me.
23:00Did you ever ask him?
23:04Did you ever think
23:05how scared he must have been?
23:07It wasn't exactly
23:08a picnic for me either.
23:09Did you ever explain
23:10that to him?
23:11It's not the easiest thing
23:11to drop in a conversation, Vic.
23:13I'm not saying
23:14it's easy, Carl.
23:16He's angry,
23:17but you're a stepdad.
23:18Oh, maybe he's angry
23:19because his mother
23:20fucked off to parts unknown.
23:21Or having another conversation.
23:23Oh, I beg to differ.
23:24He needs you.
23:25So when you shut him out,
23:26it feels like a punishment.
23:27I don't shut him out,
23:28for fuck's sake.
23:29Shall I play that voicemail for you?
23:31Oh, I think maybe
23:32I'm better off alone.
23:33That's not about him!
23:34That's my point.
23:36Jasper needs to know
23:37that the problem is
23:37whatever goes on
23:38inside of that head of yours,
23:39not him.
23:40I need to go.
23:48What do you want me to do?
23:49Go and pick him up?
23:50Nah, leave him.
23:51Mum will be driving him mad.
23:52He'll be home soon enough.
23:55But you need to think about
23:56what it is he's coming home to.
23:58Ah.
23:58Oh, sorry.
24:14Not at all.
24:16I was waiting for you
24:17to hear about more.
24:21It was interesting.
24:24How so?
24:24Where did you get this?
24:30The Lingard robbery
24:31and assault file.
24:33My pal Colin sent it.
24:35Colin?
24:37Cunningham's deputy
24:38and son,
24:39in that order.
24:40Also,
24:41my future gay husband.
24:43It's listed as
24:44diamond pendant
24:45on platinum chain
24:46belonging to
24:47Lila Lingard.
24:48Listed where?
24:49On the insurance claim.
24:51But it was in stone.
24:52Not then,
24:52it wasn't.
24:53Merrick came back for it.
24:55When?
24:56On the day
24:57of Harry Jennings' funeral.
24:58Oh.
24:58No.
25:04I wonder why.
25:06No.
25:06I wonder how many
25:07are you passing
25:11Oh, my God.
25:41Hey. Fuck you. Sick fuck. Is this what you want? Yeah, you want me like this? Well, here you are, Critch. Here you are. Hello?
26:06Hello?
26:08Get through there.
26:18Jasper?
26:50Carl is very much an archaeologist of the mind, don't you think? I honestly don't give a fuck.
26:54What is all this? Well, I thought you and I could have had a nice dinner and a talk.
26:58Oh, yeah, because you know how much I love talking to you. Because you need to talk to somebody.
27:02Who's your favourite? Liver. Who told you my favourite was liver? Jasper.
27:08He was fucking with you. It's actually quite funny. Dare I ask what it is that you want to talk about?
27:16Leith Park. What the fuck for? Well, because, as my favourite philosopher likes to say, healing yourself is connected to healing others. Yoko Ono.
27:28Yoko. Not John. Yoko.
27:30A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. He was a tweet to her sincere.
27:36My therapist thinks that I can heal myself by talking about Leith Park with her.
27:40You see a therapist? Voluntarily? Fuck. No, it's department mandated.
27:44Thank God. The world remains as I know it.
27:46What, you think I can heal myself talking about it with you? Oh, good luck, friend-o.
27:50Not with me. Not even with your therapist. With Jasper.
27:54Were you listening to our conversation? Well, it was kind of hard not to.
27:59It's actually easy. You just mind your own fucking business.
28:06Look. Victoria's not wrong.
28:10Okay. The bullet went in here and it came out here.
28:16You can see that.
28:19Give me fucking strength.
28:24The bullet went in here and it came out here after, after it went through Hardy's spine.
28:39Oh. Yeah. Oh.
28:42Hardy slowed it down, which no doubt saved my life. He, meanwhile, is paralysed from the waist down with one good arm and one with half mobility. And as we all know, PC Anderson wasn't quite that fucking lucky.
29:01I mean, Victoria said he was scared when he saw me in the hospital. How's he gonna feel when he hears all of that? How's he gonna feel when I tell him that even if we were armed, it would have come out the same? Probably worse. And you know why that is, Martin? I'll tell you.
29:14Because no matter how many fucking platitudes you find on the internet, the world is a seriously dangerous place to be, where no one is ever safe from one bad surprise ruining their entire fucking life. And do you know why that is, Martin? Because the most dangerous fucking creatures on this planet are us.
29:29Not us.
29:32Now, I'm gonna take a shower. I'm gonna come back and we're gonna sit down and we're gonna eat that fucking liver. Preferably in silence.
29:59Well, I can assume that William didn't see his father on the ferry, huh?
30:05Why can we assume that?
30:06Because we can also assume that William could recognise his own fucking father.
30:10Even after 12 years?
30:12All right, Rose. Come on. Share with us your theory. Share with the class on why you think that Jamie Lingard is involved with his own daughter's disappearance. Come on, I can't wait. Let's go.
30:19Right. I don't know why, Carl. I just know that according to William himself, he saw someone wearing a cap both on the ferry and at the house with the name of Jamie Lingard.
30:29His boat on it? No, he saw someone wearing a cap with the image of a fucking bird, but you, amateur ornithologist that you are, have decided it's the same fucking bird as the name of Jamie's boat.
30:38Have I got that right? Is that right?
30:39You're doing that thing you do.
30:40What thing?
30:41The thing where you disagree just to be disagreeable.
30:43I'm disagreeing with you because you haven't thought it through enough to make me agree.
30:50What about the necklace? Huh? The mother's? The one that Jamie said that Merit took?
30:54What about it?
30:55Maybe Jamie was trying to get it back.
30:57Let me get this straight. He was stalking his own daughter, then he kidnapped and or killed her in an effort to get the necklace back. Yeah? Is that right?
31:05OK, that's ridiculous.
31:07Yeah.
31:08Fuck.
31:09Akron, what are those?
31:10Came from the Crown Office.
31:12You going through them, huh?
31:13Most of them.
31:14Anything good?
31:15The woman seemed to have no life. There's nothing in her diaries.
31:21Stone records.
31:22Well, two and from home and two and from the office.
31:25It's like she went straight home every night. No dinner with the hires up, no drinks at the pub with colleagues.
31:32I miss you already. Look forward to the next time. Same room. I believe that bed brings good luck. Signed, S.
31:47So she didn't always go straight home. Who the fuck is this? There's the name of the florist, but no date.
31:53Yeah, meaning she could have gotten this any time before she disappeared.
31:56I doubt they still have a record of that order.
31:59Maybe someone remembers the card?
32:01From when? Again. Who knows when she got this?
32:04Yeah, but she saved the card for some reason.
32:08Same room.
32:10A hotel.
32:11But which one?
32:12This lot came from her office, yeah? Who packed it up?
32:16Her P.A.
32:19Sabrina Pereira.
32:23Sabrina.
32:26Was this a loo or something?
32:28Shower quarters.
32:29Ah, of course.
32:31Merit had a reputation for being aggressive.
32:33That's one way to put it.
32:35Well, how would you put it?
32:36She provoked people, went straight at them, tested them.
32:39Merit didn't really care what people thought about her, long as they thought she was good at her job.
32:43And did they think that?
32:44They had to, because she was.
32:46Stephen Burns said that she didn't fit in.
32:49Neither of us did.
32:50I think that's why she took me with her, so she'd have an ally.
32:53Against the rugby boys from the posh schools.
32:55We used to joke about them.
32:57Good teeth and bad attitudes.
32:59Was us against them.
33:00Yeah, I know the feeling.
33:01They tried to intimidate you.
33:03Make you feel like a wee cog in their big boys machine.
33:10What?
33:11Are you finished?
33:12Sorry.
33:13So...
33:15Merit was strong.
33:17A survivor.
33:18A survivor?
33:19Are you kidding?
33:20She absolutely thrived on that stuff.
33:23So she could survive, say, in difficult situations.
33:30You think she could be alive?
33:32It's possible.
33:35It's been four years.
33:36And I don't think she'd just up and abandon her brother or me like that.
33:40If she was alive, I would just know.
33:42Because you were that close?
33:43We just always had a connection.
33:45Oh, yeah.
33:48That was never going to happen.
33:50Why not?
33:53Because we weren't batting for the same team.
33:56Speaking of, do you remember this?
33:58No.
34:03You packed it up with the rest of our office stuff?
34:06If you say so.
34:08Any idea who S might be?
34:10You think that's me?
34:12I think it's someone whose name begins with S.
34:15The word someone starts with S.
34:19Could be fucking anybody.
34:20Call the fucking florist.
34:21Ask them.
34:22Oh, we did.
34:23They're out of business.
34:25Could it be someone from work?
34:28Christ.
34:29I hope not.
34:33Is this really all you've got?
34:39So this is just what it looks like?
34:41A publicity stunt and a waste of time?
34:43Who you want to find?
34:44So did the last guy.
34:45Look how far he got.
34:46The last guy fucked up.
34:49At least he wasn't working out of a fucking loo
34:51in the ass end of the station with what looks to me
34:53like a pair of temporaries from a PA pool.
34:56No wonder you were so well-liked.
34:59Just tell me why you think you're going to do any better.
35:01Because I'm doing it.
35:03Shit.
35:06You actually sound like her.
35:08If Merit was seeing someone, I would have known.
35:11All those alpha males and none of them ever tried their luck?
35:14Of course they tried. They all fancied her.
35:16They were probably running a sweepstake.
35:18But she wasn't interested.
35:21When she talked about them, it was like they were beneath her.
35:23She wasn't friendly with any of them?
35:25I don't know.
35:27Maybe Liam.
35:29But only because they worked the Finch case together
35:30and that was more cordial than friendly.
35:33Liam Taylor?
35:34Aye.
35:35He was a good prosecutor.
35:37And happily married.
35:39So he wasn't always panting after her like the others.
35:41Why did you say good?
35:43That was how Merit rated him.
35:44Did she ever express any interest in him?
35:46I asked her about him once.
35:48She said she saw Liam more as a challenge.
35:52But she knew he was happily married.
35:53She would never go there.
35:54So if Merit had a fella, it was someone outside the office.
35:58What are you doing? You're not a tourist.
36:13It's good luck.
36:14Not for the dog.
36:15He said his nose would place twice. Come on.
36:22Ladies and gentlemen, I'll keep this short, being a man of few words.
36:26Yeah, right.
36:28All right, all right.
36:30Um, you should be proud of yourselves.
36:33I know how hard you've worked and I know how little recognition you'll get.
36:38But I would like to say thank you and well done.
36:42And it feels fucking good to win.
36:49It's the wee one's birthday.
36:51Bright and early.
36:56Carl fucking Mork.
36:58Liam Taylor.
37:00In the flesh.
37:01Liam Taylor.
37:02I am Akra.
37:04I heard you were dead.
37:05Only on the inside.
37:06It's funny, we were just talking about you.
37:07Can you, um, hang around for a bit?
37:10After I speak to your boss?
37:11Um, it's Kelly's 10th birthday.
37:12We're having a family dinner, so...
37:14Oh, okay.
37:15Do you still do that weird polar bear routine?
37:17Every morning. Keeps me young.
37:18Yeah, right up until your fucking heart explodes.
37:21I'm glad you're still alive.
37:22Yeah, I'll find you.
37:28You celebrating?
37:29Three convictions and a big money laundering case.
37:31It's not gonna go down well at the golf club.
37:34Who has time for golf?
37:36I don't think we've met.
37:38I am Akra.
37:39He holds my umbrella.
37:41There's something I can do for you, DCI Mork, aside from listening to your tired old routines about the weather.
37:45I miss you already.
37:48Excuse me.
37:49I can't wait for next time.
37:51Same room.
37:53Same bed.
37:54Blah, blah, blah, blah.
37:55Sorry you've lost me.
37:56There was a note that was attached to some flowers that were sent to Merit.
38:00Sent from whom?
38:01Under Myra.
38:02With the initial...
38:03S.
38:05Ah.
38:06I see.
38:07Any idea who that might be, Steven?
38:09None.
38:10And to be clear, Merit and I never discussed her personal life.
38:14Yeah, but you were her supervisor, her mentor.
38:16Yeah, all the more reason.
38:17I had no idea what she got up to outside the office.
38:19What about inside the office?
38:20People have white relationships all the time.
38:22And I'd still expect them to behave professionally.
38:25Yeah, well, if people did what we expected of them, you and I would be out of a job.
38:30Oh, that wouldn't be such a bad thing, would it?
38:34Anything else?
38:35Or would you like to risk another question?
38:41Not today.
38:44Very nice meeting you, Lord Advocate.
38:48Oh, fuck off.
38:57Cup of tea?
38:59You should be sleeping.
39:00And wait for the water to boil this time.
39:02What?
39:06Maybe if you can find me a wee biscuit.
39:08Go to sleep.
39:09Go to sleep.
39:10Go to sleep.
39:11Go to sleep.
39:32Well done, Merit.
39:33Well done, Helens.
39:54Water looks delightful.
39:55I got a shriveled knob just watching you.
39:59You should try it.
40:00Great way to wake yourself up.
40:02Assuming one wants to wake up.
40:04Yeah.
40:05I remember you in those early morning case conferences.
40:08A real ray of sunshine.
40:10Well, speaking of cold and cases.
40:12Aye, okay.
40:14You and Merit Lingard worked the Graham Finch case together, yeah?
40:18We did.
40:19How did you find her?
40:21Ambitious.
40:22Annoying.
40:25She was very focused.
40:26Not much of a team player.
40:28Didn't think much of her colleagues.
40:30She did not.
40:32But I never had a problem with her.
40:34My former PA said that Merit thought of you as a challenge.
40:37Challenge.
40:39Challenge?
40:40Yeah, you know.
40:42A test.
40:44A prize to be won.
40:47Flattered, I guess.
40:48Everyone keeps telling me that Merit loved a challenge.
40:50That she passed all the tests.
40:51That she won all the prizes.
40:52And I'm wondering, well, if she thought of you as a challenge,
40:55did she act on it?
40:57And as she usually got what she wanted,
41:00if she did act on it...
41:01I'm asking, did you...
41:06Did I fuck Merit?
41:07Or vice versa, yeah.
41:08For fuck's sake, Carl.
41:10Change my mind, Liam.
41:11Tell me nothing happened between the two of you.
41:13Tell me you didn't go there.
41:14I don't know what to say.
41:16You say it didn't happen.
41:20Didn't happen.
41:24Fucking hell, Liam.
41:25Carl.
41:28Does Martha know?
41:29Of course not.
41:32Of course not.
41:45As it starts, it was like you said,
41:47Merit got me in her sights for some reason.
41:50Then we went for a drink after work.
41:52We both got a bit pissed.
41:54Then she kissed me and one thing led to another.
41:56It lasted a month.
41:57Took you a month to come to your senses.
41:59It was Merit.
42:00She ended it.
42:02Why?
42:05She just did it.
42:06No...
42:07Mourning, no explanation, no big fight.
42:09Just...
42:10Thanks, I'll see you around.
42:12I kept my distance after that.
42:15So you're married.
42:16She never brought people back.
42:17Where did you meet up?
42:19Hotel.
42:20Which?
42:21Princess Garden.
42:23Did you ever send her flowers?
42:24She'd hated that.
42:25Do you remember any dates?
42:27No, but she always paid.
42:30Oh, I'm looking out for you.
42:31It'll almost likely be a record.
42:33It was a while ago.
42:35Over a year before she disappeared.
42:38None of this has anything to do with your investigation.
42:41The only way Martha finds out is if you tell her.
42:43Doesn't have to go in a file.
42:45So you messed around, she dumped you, you felt played.
42:48And then while I waited a year to kill her.
42:51I don't know if anyone killed her.
42:53You have to be thinking it.
42:54It's an investigation which usually presumes a crime.
42:57The real crime are those fucking Speedos.
43:03Don't worry.
43:04I won't put you in the file.
43:07She used a different name.
43:11She checked in as Lila Graham.
43:14Are you sure?
43:17She had a credit card in that name.
43:20I remember because I made some gag about prosecutors commit fraud.
43:24I bet she laughed her ass off.
43:27She just said,
43:29Now you're safe, you have something on me.
43:43You see, I'm Mark.
43:59This is Marcus, the assistant manager of the hotel.
44:03How are you doing, Marcus?
44:05Detective, as I've said to your associates, I can't help you.
44:09I'm sorry you came out here, but I'm afraid...
44:10Shut up, Marcus.
44:11How long do you keep your guest records for?
44:14Five years, but again...
44:15Shut up, Marcus.
44:16We're currently investigating the disappearance of a woman who may have stayed at this hotel before she went missing.
44:22We know for certain that she stayed here a year or so before that.
44:25So that's four years.
44:27Two Olympics, one World Cup and four Prime Ministers ago, if you please.
44:31You need a warrant.
44:32It's just confirmation.
44:33It's not 50 kilos of cocaine.
44:35Be that as it may, I'm not allowed to release personal information.
44:39That data is all protected by law now.
44:42Data Protection Act 2018.
44:45Thank you, Akram.
44:46Helpful.
44:47As I told your associates, I could lose my job.
44:49Well, you could lose your job if I tell your higher-ups that you're procuring prostitutes for your guests.
44:55I do no such thing.
44:56That you've got a fucking maid who deals oxy off her cleaning trolley.
45:00That is absolutely not true.
45:01I know, it's shit, isn't it?
45:03This is harassment.
45:04Call the police.
45:09Same room six times in the two months before she disappeared.
45:13So all this time they could have been tracking financial history for Lila Graham?
45:17Yeah, but we're doing that now.
45:19What type of person uses the name of her dead mother?
45:21What is an authorised guest?
45:27Someone authorised to sign for room service, bar tab, whatever.
45:32Why would she do that?
45:33Because she was never here.
45:36She's on the computer.
45:37No, it's Lila Graham's name on the computer.
45:39It's Liam Taylor's signature on any evidence that puts merit in the room.
45:43Fucking paranoid bitch.
45:44Except that I'm looking at the record of the last time she was here and that is not Liam Taylor's name.
45:55Who the fuck is Sam Haig?
45:59Well, today's the day, man.
46:01You've had enough time to think.
46:03Now's your chance to answer the question.
46:06Why are you here?
46:08Like they say, the truth will set you free.
46:12But if you don't answer right,
46:15we'll give you another month to think about it.
46:18And try again.
46:38You okay in there?
46:41You okay in there?
46:53First death.
46:55Make it a good one.
47:08It's Sam Haig.
47:13It's Sam Haig.
47:15What did you do to Sam?
47:18I'd love to take you to Benny Beg one day.
47:21That's a great wee crag to get you started climbing.
47:24You said I wanted to learn how to climb.
47:29You're dressed.
47:31Yeah, I have to go.
47:34Everything okay?
47:35Yeah, something's come up.
47:36Well, I'll only forgive you if you tell me when I can see you again.
47:40Well, I'll be gone for a while.
47:42Gone where?
47:43At Moor, for a bit.
47:45Moor?
47:46What is on Moor?
47:48It's an island.
47:49Yeah, I know that.
47:51But what's on Moor for you?
47:52My father.
47:55So how long you be gone?
47:57Who knows?
47:59Who knows? It's code for forever.
48:01Please, I'm not going home to live with my father.
48:03I need to see him.
48:05And then...
48:06And then what?
48:08I'll bring you when I get back.
48:09Which is when?
48:10I don't know. When I get back.
48:12You're a right font of information.
48:14Can't we just fuck without sharing?
48:16Is that what we're doing though, is it?
48:18Just fucking?
48:19What did you think this was?
48:27I have to go.
48:28But you can stay.
48:29Order some room service.
48:30Make a day of it.
48:34It matter.
48:37Fuck you.
48:49What did you do to Sam?
48:58I used him.
49:01That's all?
49:06I was unkind.
49:12Is this about Sam?
49:13No.
49:24But Sam Hague is dead.
49:26Because of you.
49:30Sam's dead.
49:32And every time you give a wrong answer,
49:35you're gonna make things just a bit more uncomfortable.
49:39So from now on,
49:42you might want to really think.
49:45Before you speak.
49:46Before you speak.
