00:01:30Ollison came in late again last night.

00:01:37You're the one who says she's a big girl now.

00:01:39It was near one o'clock.

00:01:41Did you get up and speak to her?

00:01:42Not right, darling.

00:01:52Please.

00:01:53Tiger.

00:02:03Good morning, sir.

00:02:16Strangulation, sir.

00:02:18Jogger found her earlier this morning.

00:02:20Five minutes past seven.

00:02:21Bit cold for that.

00:02:23Aye, but we've had three past years since I'm down here, sir.

00:02:30Morning, sir.

00:02:33Who are you?

00:02:34I'm Detective Sergeant Livingston, sir.

00:02:35I just got here myself.

00:02:36All right, thanks.

00:02:40Strangulation for the ligature.

00:02:42We don't have ligatures in Mary Hill.

00:02:44Young woman, aged about 20, strangled.

00:02:51Lying face upwards in obstetric position.

00:02:54No immediate evidence of sexual assault.

00:02:56Hands crossed on body.

00:02:59Possible weapon, uh...

00:03:01Stocking.

00:03:02No marks of knots.

00:03:03Abrasions on left cheek.

00:03:07Large clump of hair cut from right side of head,

00:03:10exposing scalp.

00:03:13Loose hairs near head.

00:03:15Time of death, 12.25, sir.

00:03:18Our watch broke in the struggle.

00:03:21I made a few notes of my own before you got here.

00:03:27In situ.

00:03:28A reference to our undergarments.

00:03:30Our neck are good enough for you.

00:03:33Must have flung it.

00:03:42Obviously.

00:03:45Ah, be careful.

00:03:47What foot by team's that?

00:03:50Edinburgh University.

00:03:51Sentimental value.

00:03:53Bit old for it, aren't you?

00:03:56Keeps my neck warm.

00:04:01Shite.

00:04:02That's vital evidence.

00:04:03How much longer am I going to be kept waiting here?

00:04:10Hard to say, sir.

00:04:12Wish I'd never found it.

00:04:14Somebody has to.

00:04:20It's empty, sir.

00:04:21Sorry about the accident.

00:04:23Good old way.

00:04:24I took a brief statement from the jogger.

00:04:32You'll probably want to talk to him yourself.

00:04:34Mr. Martin Ingress.

00:04:36He's a lecturer in languages at the African Horn.

00:04:38Bit cold for swimming, isn't it?

00:04:40Detective Sergeant Livingston.

00:04:42Andrews.

00:04:43This way, sir.

00:04:44She's been dead a good six hours.

00:04:45Her watch stopped, luckily.

00:04:46Good morning, Jim.

00:04:52Going to be.

00:04:59Good morning.

00:05:01Hello, Mrs. Tennant.

00:05:02Here, I suppose it's too early for this murder to be in the papers.

00:05:05What murder's that?

00:05:06The Kelvin walkway.

00:05:07The police have been there all morning.

00:05:10No, a man, unfortunately.

00:05:12A woman.

00:05:13They say she was raped and strangled.

00:05:16Did you want something?

00:05:17I want something.

00:05:2320 cansators, please.

00:05:26Ah, well, it's getting so you don't feel safe even in your beds.

00:05:29Box of matches.

00:05:30Eh?

00:05:31A girl's been murdered.

00:05:33The police have shut the whole walk off.

00:05:35Eh, and give us a pie while we're at it.

00:05:37What?

00:05:38Well, I wouldn't have been wanting a cold one.

00:05:42Do you remember that book I bought here?

00:05:43Do you mind?

00:05:45It was about all they bodies found up and down in Scotland.

00:05:49That was a butler.

00:05:50In Glasgow?

00:05:51Aye.

00:05:52No, no Glasgow.

00:05:53London.

00:05:54But he came up here to dump them.

00:05:55Oh, that's just like the English.

00:05:57Aye, is it?

00:05:58No.

00:05:581.23.

00:06:05I think they should bring back...

00:06:06Give them something to think about.

00:06:09Cheerio.

00:06:10Cheerio.

00:06:12And he'll be respectable.

00:06:13Well, wife and kids.

00:06:14I'll bet you anything.

00:06:34Mr. English.

00:06:36English, with an I.

00:06:39Come this way regularly.

00:06:40Look, I've already given details to the young constable.

00:06:43Ah, well, you know these young ones, sir.

00:06:46Every morning.

00:06:47About the same time.

00:06:49Give or take half an hour.

00:06:52Ever find a deep body before?

00:06:53What sort of question is that?

00:06:56No.

00:06:57It must have come as quite a shock.

00:07:01I suppose you're used to it.

00:07:02The police don't see life or death.

00:07:04Only offences.

00:07:07Ah, well, that's the popular belief.

00:07:09Look, I'm very cold.

00:07:12I've not eaten any breakfast.

00:07:13You're at Glasgow University.

00:07:17I lecture in languages.

00:07:18Of the African horn.

00:07:21My wife took an M.E. in sociology there.

00:07:23Gives the odd lecture.

00:07:25What's her name?

00:07:26Tigard.

00:07:27Jean.

00:07:29No, we'll do.

00:07:34You enjoy jogging?

00:07:36I like to keep fit.

00:07:38I believe we're born with so many heartbeats to use up.

00:07:41Why waste them?

00:07:44Do you know who she is?

00:07:46Not yet.

00:07:51Seen her strangulation before?

00:07:53Yes.

00:07:55Always surprises me how serene they look.

00:07:57Almost Buddha-like.

00:07:59Why do you think she was laid out like that?

00:08:00It's not for me to look into the minds of killers.

00:08:03I'd say between 12 and 1.

00:08:06Bails out the time on the watch.

00:08:07Lucky stroke, that.

00:08:09That's allowing for the rise in temperature.

00:08:10Due to asphyxia.

00:08:11That's allowing.

00:08:16What do you think was used?

00:08:18Stocking.

00:08:19Certainly not a hard cloth.

00:08:21And scissors?

00:08:22A scalping like that is unusual.

00:08:26Red Indian.

00:08:28Not many of them in Glasgow.

00:08:33Where are you from?

00:08:35Greenhold Division.

00:08:36Just promoted.

00:08:37Originally?

00:08:40Edinburgh.

00:08:42University.

00:08:42Yes.

00:08:44You're working with Jim Taggart.

00:08:47Good luck to you.

00:08:48I don't like educated people that find dead bodies at seven in the morning.

00:08:58I'm just educated people, sir.

00:09:00You being cheeky.

00:09:01Yes, sir.

00:09:02So you're a flyer.

00:09:06I did my course in Lincoln and Borders.

00:09:08And flew off course.

00:09:11Glasgow's a hard city.

00:09:13I'm aware of that.

00:09:15What public school did that accent come out of?

00:09:19Matthew Kerr's academy for boys.

00:09:21You wait here.

00:09:22I think he was a good man.

00:09:46The best.

00:09:48You've got a good team.

00:09:50He's gone now.

00:09:52A new breed of men, Jim.

00:09:53You know that.

00:09:54But his attitude sucked.

00:09:55Come on.

00:09:57You're too good a man yourself for that personality coming through it.

00:10:00Oh, I have to work with him.

00:10:01He has a good record.

00:10:03I don't care about his record.

00:10:05You're back now.

00:10:06You're back.

00:10:06You and I came up the same way, Jim.

00:10:10A long, slow climb.

00:10:12I know how you feel.

00:10:13I felt that way, too.

00:10:15Graduates.

00:10:16Jumping in where we spent years slogging.

00:10:19That's a new way.

00:10:21Live with it.

00:10:23Oh, Mackey won't come back.

00:10:26You'll never know why he did it.

00:10:28He was your friend.

00:10:30Not his confidant, it seems.

00:10:31It was a personal decision.

00:10:33He was a good copper.

00:10:35A deeply unhappy one, Jim.

00:10:37At least now he's found his purpose.

00:10:39Livingstone's found his to annoy me.

00:10:42Nobody's asking you to marry him, Jim.

00:10:43Work with him on this one case.

00:10:45What, 48 hours?

00:10:47Come in.

00:10:48Excuse me, sir.

00:10:50There's a message from Detective Sergeant Livingstone.

00:10:52They've found the purse 500 yards down the river

00:10:54and they've identified the body.

00:10:56Hello.

00:10:57Hello, Tom.

00:10:58You tell him that boy has had no right

00:11:00keeping it out to this town.

00:11:01And you should be ashamed of yourself.

00:11:03My father never let me in.

00:11:05Here, I'll have a word with her.

00:11:06I don't get this.

00:11:08Billy wants to apologize to her.

00:11:09For what?

00:11:14Billy came home alone.

00:11:15Do you want your breaker?

00:11:39What could have happened?

00:11:52Where is she?

00:11:55Billy left her last night.

00:11:56Mrs. Ballantyne?

00:12:09Yes.

00:12:10For police officers.

00:12:11Are you going to tell them?

00:12:35Oh, no.

00:12:36Billy couldn't have done this.

00:12:41How?

00:12:43It was on the news.

00:12:45Strangle.

00:12:47Well, they left her.

00:12:54Nobody's blaming you, son.

00:12:56Where?

00:12:57On the walkway.

00:12:58On the walkway.

00:13:02The police will want to talk to you.

00:13:04I left her on the walkway.

00:13:07I left her.

00:13:08I grew up with the notion that Glasgow was a depressed area.

00:13:19Don't you insult my green city.

00:13:20I wasn't trying to insult it.

00:13:22Tenements, alcohol and punch-ups.

00:13:24That's what you grew up with.

00:13:25The image everybody carries.

00:13:27Look at that, Angie.

00:13:28Do you see any bloody noses?

00:13:30Were you born here?

00:13:32A mile that way.

00:13:33I remember you coming and giving a talk at Tolly Allen.

00:13:36All about a detective's hunch.

00:13:38How it was still valid even today with computers and forensics.

00:13:41Was that Crawler's course?

00:14:03No doubt.

00:14:06How it was.

00:14:15Not Ridge,anya.

00:14:16No doubt.

00:14:17No doubt.

00:14:18Yeah.

00:14:20Yeah.

00:14:22Mm.

00:14:26Eh.

00:14:27Mm.

00:14:30Oh, .

00:14:31Oh,

00:14:31oh,

00:14:32So, have you finished? Perhaps there's port to follow.

00:14:55Well, Billy.

00:14:56I didn't do it.

00:14:57So why run?

00:14:58I was scared.

00:14:59Of what?

00:15:00Being arrested. I was with her on the walkway, but...

00:15:05But what?

00:15:06I had no reason, did I?

00:15:08No reason to do what?

00:15:09Whatever.

00:15:10Well, who says that's why you're here?

00:15:13It is, isn't it? When my dad told me what happened, then I saw you coming.

00:15:20So, you were just walking her home?

00:15:23Yes.

00:15:24Well, why didn't you walk her all the way?

00:15:25We had a row.

00:15:26And you killed her?

00:15:27No! I left her.

00:15:29I left her.

00:15:30On the walkway?

00:15:31Wasn't he very gentlemanly, was it?

00:15:34I'm not a gentleman.

00:15:35We had a row about going to a disco.

00:15:38I wanted her to go to one, she didn't.

00:15:40Why were you on...

00:15:41This disco?

00:15:42Castor's.

00:15:48Why were you on the walkway?

00:15:50We often walked on that way.

00:15:51We often walked on that way.

00:15:52Because it's dark.

00:15:53Because it's there.

00:15:54It wasn't a serious row. I liked Eileen.

00:15:57Only liked her.

00:15:59She was different.

00:16:00How different?

00:16:02Just different.

00:16:03Different because you couldn't have your own way with her.

00:16:05She's got a filthy mind.

00:16:07Oh, no, Billy.

00:16:09It's not my mind, it's filthy.

00:16:11Can I see your solicitor?

00:16:12I've already explained. That would hinder us.

00:16:14Then I want my dad.

00:16:15Are you set on being difficult?

00:16:18What time did you leave Eileen on the walkway?

00:16:20I don't know.

00:16:21After twelve sometime.

00:16:23Where did you leave her?

00:16:24Gary Oak Road.

00:16:26Can you show me?

00:16:29There.

00:16:32And you didn't walk any further on?

00:16:33No.

00:16:35Why didn't you go to Casters on your own?

00:16:36I don't enjoy it.

00:16:37Why don't you tell us why you're out?

00:16:39You wanted your leg over on the walkway.

00:16:41You're perverted.

00:16:42Oh, come on, son.

00:16:45I was your age.

00:16:46I know what it's like.

00:16:48Well, not all the same.

00:16:49What is it like, Billy?

00:16:52As a man!

00:16:53I can't!

00:16:55I swear to God, I never did it.

00:16:56Do you believe in God, Billy?

00:16:58No.

00:16:59Well, you'd better start, because you're in big trouble.

00:17:04Well, a man has to wait until he's sixty-five.

00:17:07But a woman at retirement age can look forward to living

00:17:10and enjoying her pension for twenty years.

00:17:18She was okay.

00:17:19She was a quiet girl.

00:17:21She didn't care much for the dancing.

00:17:23I wouldn't.

00:17:24Wouldn't what?

00:17:26I don't even know what happened to her yet.

00:17:28What do you think happened to her?

00:17:34My dad said she'd been strangled.

00:17:36What with?

00:17:37That's all he said.

00:17:38Did you strangle her?

00:17:39No.

00:17:40What did you use, Billy?

00:17:41I didn't use...

00:17:42You didn't use what?

00:17:43You're trying to trap me.

00:17:44Use what?

00:17:45Anything.

00:17:46Anything at all.

00:17:47I left her down there.

00:17:48Well, who do you think it was?

00:17:49The Boston Strangler looking about down there in the bushes?

00:17:51I don't know who he was alone.

00:17:52It's the truth.

00:17:53It's a fabrication, Billy, and you know it.

00:17:54You didn't care one jot about leaving Eileen down there strangled, did you?

00:17:58I phoned to apologise.

00:18:00When?

00:18:01After I left her.

00:18:02From a cop box on the way home.

00:18:06It was late.

00:18:07I put the phone down.

00:18:10Are we gonna charge him?

00:18:11He had the opportunity.

00:18:12He had the motive.

00:18:13You mean thwarted sexual desire?

00:18:15That's happened.

00:18:16Are we gonna charge him now?

00:18:19It's all circumstantial for the moment.

00:18:22Well, we can't keep him here.

00:18:23You better find something.

00:18:25If he telephoned on his way home...

00:18:27What for?

00:18:28To apologise for killing her.

00:18:30It would stand in his favour.

00:18:31If the Ballantines remember the call.

00:18:36Ah, take D.C. Grant round with you.

00:18:38See if they do.

00:18:42Hey.

00:18:43Don't jog their memories too much.

00:18:45How are you two getting on?

00:18:52Me and the RAC membership committee.

00:18:56You may have an opportunity, Jim.

00:18:58You may have a motive.

00:19:00You need that murder weapon.

00:19:01This is E.C. Grant.

00:19:02We just want to ask you a few more questions.

00:19:14Have you any news?

00:19:15Not yet, I'm afraid, no.

00:19:16Is there anything you'd like to add to what you've already told us?

00:19:29No.

00:19:31You still think Billy did it.

00:19:34Last night.

00:19:35Do you remember a phone call?

00:19:37It rang.

00:19:38There was no...

00:19:39What time?

00:19:40Quarter to one.

00:19:41You're sure of that?

00:19:42I looked at the clock.

00:19:48What happened?

00:19:49I answered that it rang off.

00:19:53The Dallian's watch ever run fast or slow.

00:19:55What's this got to do, Ian?

00:19:56The time's very important in an inquiry.

00:20:00You're not supposed to be here, Mr. Dalbish.

00:20:02Excuse my partner.

00:20:03You were warned to stay away.

00:20:04At a time like this?

00:20:05It's still subjudicy.

00:20:06What?

00:20:07Your presence here can be construed as...

00:20:09Look, I've been questioned for two hours.

00:20:11Billy's bedroom's been searched and he's never been home.

00:20:14And you've had him there for how long?

00:20:15You've put us in a difficult position by being here.

00:20:17But just because he ran away!

00:20:18You think Billy did it?

00:20:20Look, you've got to end for him.

00:20:21No, we haven't.

00:20:22My boy couldn't...

00:20:25He couldn't do a thing like that.

00:20:28Well, he's killed us, Luce.

00:20:30And you're questioning the wrong man.

00:20:32I came here to help him.

00:20:34You're not even one of us.

00:20:36My God.

00:20:38Now they're leaving it to kids.

00:20:47In there.

00:20:48Are you afraid of the natives?

00:20:50Sorry.

00:20:51Are you the police?

00:20:52Yes.

00:20:53He's inside.

00:20:54I'm sorry.

00:20:55Are you the police?

00:20:56Yes.

00:20:57He's inside.

00:20:58I'm sorry.

00:20:59I'm sorry.

00:21:00Are you the police?

00:21:01Yes.

00:21:02He's inside.

00:21:03What's happening, sir?

00:21:04What's happening, sir?

00:21:05The mints having a go.

00:21:06Mints?

00:21:07Superintended Murray.

00:21:08Personality conflict.

00:21:09He refuses to talk to me.

00:21:10I'm sorry.

00:21:11I'm sorry.

00:21:12I'm sorry.

00:21:13Are you the police?

00:21:14Yes.

00:21:15He's inside.

00:21:16What's happening, sir?

00:21:17The mints having a go.

00:21:18Mints?

00:21:19Superintendent Murray.

00:21:21Personality conflict.

00:21:22He refuses to talk to me.

00:21:23All the same.

00:21:24Is there time for this?

00:21:25Sherlock Holmes at his violin.

00:21:26Who can play it?

00:21:27The same again.

00:21:28Billy's dad was there.

00:21:29He shouldn't have been.

00:21:30He was.

00:21:31And that didn't make it very easy.

00:21:32Where's your scar?

00:21:33No, no.

00:21:34No, no.

00:21:35No, no.

00:21:36No, no.

00:21:37No, no.

00:21:38No, no.

00:21:39No, no.

00:21:40No, no.

00:21:41No, no.

00:21:42No, no.

00:21:43No, no.

00:21:44No, no.

00:21:45No, no.

00:21:46No, no.

00:21:47No, no.

00:21:48No, no.

00:21:49No, no.

00:21:50No, no.

00:21:51No, no.

00:21:52No.

00:21:53No, no, no.

00:21:54No, no.

00:21:55I lost it.

00:21:57You're gonna make a murder squad detective.

00:22:00I don't believe Billy, did it?

00:22:01I do.

00:22:02Well, perhaps you want to believe it.

00:22:04There's a lot of things I want to believe.

00:22:06Like respect.

00:22:07I can't talk to you sir while you're playing on this.

00:22:14What's your drink?

00:22:15Lager in background.

00:22:16You can buy that yourself.

00:22:18Half pint of lager in background, please.

00:22:20Is it in for something, are you?

00:22:22Tiny, Detective Sergeant Livingston.

00:22:24You got that strand, are you?

00:22:27Oh, come on.

00:22:28You should know better.

00:22:41I'd like to work with you, sir.

00:22:43Not against you.

00:22:44Cheers.

00:22:45Well, the phone rang.

00:22:46Of course it's one.

00:22:47How do we know what went through his mind?

00:22:49If only the ground hadn't been too hard for footprints.

00:22:50I still think you're wrong.

00:22:51I'm sorry.

00:22:52Why?

00:22:53Because it is so circumstantial.

00:22:54There was the Detective Chief Inspector Wallace.

00:22:55The bastard man.

00:22:56I worked with him in a dozen inquiries.

00:22:58He used to say that a nose for the truth was a talent.

00:23:00He either had it or he hadn't.

00:23:02The bastard never made a wrong jump.

00:23:03It is six hours, isn't it?

00:23:04Can I go?

00:23:05It is six hours, isn't it?

00:23:06Can I go?

00:23:07Can I go?

00:23:08I'll work with him in a dozen inquiries.

00:23:11He used to say that a nose for the truth was a talent.

00:23:16He either had it or he hadn't.

00:23:19That bastard never made a wrong jump.

00:23:26It is six hours, isn't it? Can I go?

00:23:38I didn't do that.

00:23:56I know, sir.

00:24:08Hey, can I let her in now?

00:24:11Yeah, go on.

00:24:14Come on, beautiful.

00:24:15Yeah, this is.

00:24:16This is.

00:24:17Happy birthday, Mrs.

00:24:19Oh, happy birthday, Mrs.

00:24:20Where's that?

00:24:21Where's that?

00:24:22Hey, look at that.

00:24:23Oh, isn't that lovely?

00:24:25Go, go.

00:24:26There's lockers up if we can see you.

00:24:29Did you hear the police are making house to house in Clyde?

00:24:33It's in the block.

00:24:34Are they?

00:24:35No, they must have missed us.

00:24:36Must have.

00:24:37Hey.

00:24:38Look, I've got to go to school in a minute.

00:24:40Look, dirty floors can wait.

00:24:42Dirty thoughts can't.

00:24:43All right.

00:24:58Where did you take but for your watching day?

00:25:00Brookhill Park.

00:25:02Did you find out?

00:25:03About what?

00:25:05The murder.

00:25:06The murder.

00:25:07No.

00:25:08Only there was a young woman.

00:25:09And she was strangled.

00:25:13You're terrible.

00:25:14Stop it!

00:25:15Stop it!

00:25:16Stop it!

00:25:17Chuck it in.

00:25:18Chuck it in.

00:25:19Chuck it in.

00:25:20You were on the walkway with you last night.

00:25:23So I was.

00:25:24Maybe it was you.

00:25:25Maybe.

00:25:26Maybe.

00:25:27Maybe.

00:25:28Come on.

00:25:29Come on.

00:25:30Look, we should be past this stage.

00:25:33How do you want it to be?

00:25:35The other cleaners, they're always going on about the arguments they have with their husbands.

00:25:48How do you talk about us?

00:25:49Sometimes.

00:25:50And what do you say?

00:25:51That we're happy.

00:25:52That we never argue.

00:25:53And what do you think we're secreters?

00:25:54You're home loving.

00:25:55And loyal.

00:25:56Hey.

00:25:57I know it's not much of your home.

00:25:58Because it's got you and beaut in it.

00:25:59You're in it.

00:26:00I know the beauty, but it's much of a beauty.

00:26:05And I can't, but it's not the beauty.

00:26:06Then I can't do it.

00:26:07They're happy.

00:26:08But we never argue.

00:26:10And we never argue.

00:26:11And what do you think we're secreters?

00:26:14You're home loving and loyal.

00:26:15Eh.

00:26:16I know it's not much of your home.

00:26:18It's got you and beaut in it.

00:26:22One day we've got something in the ground, eh?

00:26:36My gardener?

00:26:37When they lift, they get pissed.

00:26:40Oh.

00:26:41Oh, God, look at the time I need to go.

00:26:47Aye, okay.

00:26:52Hey.

00:26:53Watch you for the strangler.

00:26:55I can take care of myself.

00:26:58Anyway, I'm not likely to walk down there on my own at night, am I?

00:27:02Cheerio.

00:27:05Cheerio.

00:27:07Bye-bye, Bute.

00:27:22How are you going, sir?

00:27:23Nothing to show for it.

00:27:24How's the house?

00:27:25Nothing.

00:27:26Probably don't seem willing to come forward either.

00:27:29All friends and acquaintances checked out.

00:27:30The ones that were.

00:27:31She seemed a quiet living girl.

00:27:32Only the coal merchant's daughter, but she'd died a virgin.

00:27:36What about Tommy Dalgleish, the partner?

00:27:37Billy's dad.

00:27:38Playing castle, too, with friends.

00:27:39What about the people we know?

00:27:40In this line.

00:27:41Sir.

00:27:42Sorry.

00:27:43Sorry, I didn't bring you one.

00:27:44That's all right.

00:27:45Coco affects my ulcer.

00:27:46Good though you had one, sir.

00:27:47Why don't you two go home to your bed?

00:27:48You look like you need it.

00:27:49There's a few petals on the daisy yet.

00:27:51You should relax more, Jim.

00:27:53You play golf.

00:27:54Tennis, sir.

00:27:55No, sir, I'm good, but I'm sorry.

00:27:57Good.

00:27:58I'm good.

00:27:59Well, you look.

00:28:00I'm sorry.

00:28:01I'm sorry.

00:28:02I was a little bit older than you've been there, but I'm not too old.

00:28:05You're not too old.

00:28:06I'm sorry, Dad.

00:28:07I'm playing cards till two with friends.

00:28:08What about the people we know?

00:28:09In this line.

00:28:10Sir.

00:28:11Sorry, I didn't bring you one.

00:28:12That's all right.

00:28:13Coco affects my ulcer.

00:28:14Good though you had one, sir.

00:28:15Good though you had one, sir.

00:28:16Why don't you two go home to your bed?

00:28:17There's some good golf clubs in Glasgow.

00:28:19Some good tennis clubs as well, sir.

00:28:29Uh-huh.

00:28:31Alec McGowan.

00:28:47Oh, all right, all right, I'm coming.

00:28:53Oh, God.

00:28:57It's you.

00:28:59Hello, Wilma. This is Detective Sergeant Livingston.

00:29:02I saw him at the gondola.

00:29:03I remember. Is your brother about?

00:29:05We've been visited.

00:29:07They were the angels. I'm God.

00:29:09Oh, wait here.

00:29:11Oh, could this not have waited till the morning?

00:29:13Just get him.

00:29:15He was here all night.

00:29:19Alec?

00:29:21Alec?

00:29:23Whatever happened to the penny, Dainty?

00:29:25Cost two now.

00:29:27I suppose Matthew Kerr's schoolboys had better things to do with their pocket money.

00:29:31I saved it.

00:29:33To pay for the university education.

00:29:38God, would you look at that.

00:29:40Something not disgusting.

00:29:42Depends on your taste, sir.

00:29:44Depends on having any.

00:29:45Hello, Mr. Taggart.

00:29:46Oh, Alec.

00:29:47Sorry to get you out of your bed.

00:29:48I've already been questioned.

00:29:50Well.

00:29:51You know how these inquiries are.

00:29:53Suspects get interviewed, questionnaires filled out, statements taken.

00:29:57This is Detective Sergeant Livingston, by the way.

00:29:59Hello.

00:30:00Mr McGowan.

00:30:01I believe you were in your bed last night.

00:30:04Most people are, at that time.

00:30:07Not everybody was.

00:30:09I've got to watch my blood pressure these days.

00:30:11High, is it?

00:30:12I can show you my pills.

00:30:14I'm surprised you're not angry.

00:30:17I mean, here we are, questioning you about a murder.

00:30:20Why should we do that?

00:30:21I don't know.

00:30:22I mean, you only raped a lassie.

00:30:24That's not half as serious.

00:30:26Like I said, I've got high blood pressure.

00:30:29Of course, there was that attempted murder, Charles, that was dropped.

00:30:33I held her doing that, so.

00:30:34You nearly choked her bloody life out of her.

00:30:36That was 12 years ago.

00:30:38We moved to Blant to have to get away from people that knew.

00:30:41Now, so far, we've kept it quiet here.

00:30:44Let's hope it stays that way.

00:30:46People don't understand it.

00:30:47I did my time.

00:30:48All I want of they knew is forget it.

00:30:50I haven't touched a woman since.

00:30:53Now, that's the honest truth.

00:30:54Do you know there's a pair missing?

00:30:56Oh, there is.

00:30:57Can you explain it?

00:30:58Well, should I be able to?

00:31:01I can.

00:31:24Thought you hired him, eh?

00:31:26It's really that easy.

00:31:27Where's your place?

00:31:31I've rented a fat meal head.

00:31:33Oh, you could drop me off.

00:31:34You want to get to know Glasgow?

00:31:36My green city?

00:31:37Walk.

00:31:39Walk.

00:31:40Sorry, sir.

00:31:54Can't come any further this way.

00:31:56I always walk my dog this way.

00:31:58Hello there.

00:31:59What's your name, eh?

00:32:00Come this way regularly then, sir?

00:32:02Right.

00:32:03You wouldn't have been down here night before last about midnight?

00:32:06That's possible.

00:32:07Well, try and think.

00:32:09I walked this way about half eleven.

00:32:11Did you see anyone?

00:32:12No.

00:32:13You heard there was a murder down here?

00:32:15I heard.

00:32:16Chief Inspector might want to have a word with you, sir.

00:32:18Okay.

00:32:19What's your name?

00:32:20Michael Boyd.

00:32:21Your address, Mr. Boyd?

00:32:22Flat 49.

00:32:23Knight's Head Tower.

00:32:25Up there.

00:32:26Have you not already been questioned, Mr. Boyd?

00:32:28No.

00:32:29That's funny.

00:32:30Done house-to-house inquiries in that block.

00:32:31Ah.

00:32:32We're out a lot.

00:32:33Ah.

00:32:34Your occupation?

00:32:35I'm unemployed.

00:32:36Ah, out looking for work, I suppose, eh?

00:32:39You should consider joining the police, Mr. Boyd.

00:32:41We could do with some extra hands.

00:32:43Okay, Mr. Boyd.

00:32:44If that's everything.

00:32:45That's everything.

00:32:46Beautiful.

00:32:47Come on.

00:32:48Mitch.

00:32:49Come on.

00:32:50Mitch.

00:32:51Come on.

00:32:52Come on.

00:32:53Come on.

00:32:54Come on.

00:32:56Come on.

00:32:57Mitch.

00:33:05Are you sure you don't want me?

00:33:06Right, sure.

00:33:07If he finds out you went in there on your own...

00:33:09Just wait here.

00:33:27Good morning.

00:33:28What do you want?

00:33:29No athletics this time.

00:33:30I'm not in the mood.

00:33:31I thought you all stravelled in pairs.

00:33:32What's that?

00:33:33I have since linous arms.

00:33:34You like working with your hands.

00:33:35That Mr. Taggart.

00:33:36Does he still think I killed Eileen?

00:33:37Did you?

00:33:38No.

00:33:39No.

00:33:40I had no reason.

00:33:41So you say?

00:33:42See these hands.

00:33:43See these hands.

00:33:44See when I get them and whoever did.

00:33:45I wish you'd said that yesterday.

00:33:46I wasn't given the chance.

00:33:47You had six hours.

00:33:48I suppose you wanted me to break down and cry.

00:33:49Something like that.

00:33:50Have you ever sat in a strange room and been accused of murder?

00:33:51Like you expected to frame up any minute.

00:33:52Who said that happens?

00:33:53It happens.

00:33:54Okay.

00:33:55Maybe you're not the sort.

00:33:56But I'll tell you it's scaring.

00:33:57It scares every other thing out of you.

00:33:58Even sorrow?

00:33:59Look, I'm a coward.

00:34:00I suppose that's why I ran away.

00:34:01You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:02You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:03You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:04You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:05You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:06You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:07You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:08You thought it was all terrible.

00:34:09So you say?

00:34:10See these hands.

00:34:11See these hands.

00:34:12See when I get them and whoever did.

00:34:13I wish you'd said that yesterday.

00:34:14I wasn't given the chance.

00:34:15You had six hours.

00:34:16I suppose you wanted me to break down and cry.

00:34:18Something like that.

00:34:19I suppose that's why I ran away.

00:34:21You thought it was all tough classical talk, did you?

00:34:24You with a posh Edinburgh accent.

00:34:26I can't help the way I am.

00:34:28Why did you come here?

00:34:29Reasons.

00:34:30Look, I don't like the police.

00:34:33I've never had any reason to.

00:34:35I don't mind you though.

00:34:38That telephone call.

00:34:40Did you mention it to anyone else?

00:34:41I should have.

00:34:42If it wasn't just a story.

00:34:44God's truth.

00:34:45You don't believe in God.

00:34:47I'll believe in fairies if you convinced that Mr. Taggart.

00:34:56I want to see a solicitor.

00:34:58We're under no obligation to let you do that, Mr. Inglis.

00:35:01You could apply causing a hindrance to any interview if you wanted.

00:35:04We don't though.

00:35:12You'll only be here a few minutes, Mr. Inglis.

00:35:15I'll have a study group in half an hour.

00:35:17Just tell us why you lied about your movements on Thursday night.

00:35:20Can't one find a body without becoming a suspect?

00:35:30I'm glad you're here.

00:35:31Sir?

00:35:32Look, I said I was in all night because I didn't think you'd bother to check.

00:35:41I went to a club with a friend of mine.

00:35:43What kind of club?

00:35:45It's called the Centaur Club.

00:35:47He came back with me afterwards.

00:35:49Stayed the night?

00:35:50Till two in the morning.

00:35:52He's one of my students.

00:35:54Languages of a horn.

00:36:00What's his name?

00:36:01David Scott.

00:36:02I'd rather you'd...

00:36:03Age?

00:36:0519.

00:36:06The legal age is 21?

00:36:08Yes, but...

00:36:09But what?

00:36:12It's only two years.

00:36:13The legal age is 21.

00:36:15Does it matter, sir?

00:36:18What are you?

00:36:19Some kind of champion of the underdog?

00:36:21No, sir.

00:36:25Member of your study group, is he?

00:36:27Yes.

00:36:30I'd hate him to be anxious.

00:36:37I think you were on fair, sir.

00:36:39If you and me are going to work together, there are a couple of things we'd better get straight.

00:36:43Such as?

00:36:44Number one.

00:36:45You've got five minutes to eat that.

00:36:47Number two.

00:36:48Rank.

00:36:49I just think you were unnecessarily bigoted.

00:36:52A bigot?

00:36:53Me?

00:36:55Listen, I've turned blind eyes.

00:36:57But when somebody wastes my time to protect a wee bit of illicit nookie...

00:37:01I still think you were unfair.

00:37:02Ah, you do, do you?

00:37:04I had gay friends at university.

00:37:11You're not a Mary Poppins yourself.

00:37:13No.

00:37:14Oh-ho!

00:37:15Now we're touchy, aren't we?

00:37:20What'd you take?

00:37:23History and economics.

00:37:24What?

00:37:25I mean...

00:37:26Honours.

00:37:27Used to please Mummy and Daddy.

00:37:29That's it.

00:37:31Tony and the Force didn't.

00:37:33Stay it down, was it?

00:37:34Sort of.

00:37:36Come round, have they?

00:37:37No.

00:37:39My dad wanted me to be a tram diver.

00:37:45Why?

00:37:47He was one to his eyesight failed.

00:37:51Used to come in here with my mother.

00:37:54Sat over there.

00:37:57Two wee people.

00:37:58Not a lot to live for.

00:37:59You were born near here then?

00:38:01A mile that way.

00:38:05Sir.

00:38:07I hope you're satisfied.

00:38:09What about, Wilma?

00:38:11Upset in your Alec.

00:38:12Just a friendly chat.

00:38:13Victimisation.

00:38:15Routine.

00:38:16You've put his blood pressure up.

00:38:17I'll bring it back down.

00:38:21There's a killer out there.

00:38:22Why don't you go and get after him?

00:38:24Two sweet stouts, please, tiny.

00:38:29Out there, there, gentlemen.

00:38:33Hi.

00:38:34Hi.

00:38:35Hello, beaut.

00:38:36There's a girl.

00:38:37All right?

00:38:38I'm just gonna phone my mum.

00:38:39No, you ask her in a hope.

00:38:41Eh?

00:38:42Present.

00:38:44You shouldn't.

00:38:45I think a beaut kind of birthday's soaking you.

00:38:47It isn't yet.

00:38:50This is an expensive one.

00:38:52I know.

00:38:53You shouldn't waste your money.

00:38:55Well, try it on.

00:39:02Smell.

00:39:04Sushi.

00:39:07Where'd you get it?

00:39:08In town.

00:39:10I saw a policeman down there.

00:39:12What about?

00:39:13That murder.

00:39:14Did you find out anything?

00:39:15He's gonna send an inspector up to see us.

00:39:17Why is?

00:39:18Because I told him I walked boot that way.

00:39:21What do you want you to go and get involved for?

00:39:25Would you go along with something?

00:39:26What?

00:39:29Just say it was half a living I was down there, okay?

00:39:32Well, it was, wasn't it?

00:39:34Look, just say.

00:39:35It's like a minute.

00:39:36You're not going to have to go along with...

00:39:37I don't care.

00:39:39What do you want?

00:39:41Would you like some tea?

00:39:43I made some scones.

00:39:45Yes, please.

00:39:46No thanks.

00:39:47You, come on.

00:39:49Off the mountains, Ma.

00:39:50I don't mind.

00:39:51Honestly, sometimes our bum's not clean.

00:39:53Come on.

00:39:55There you go.

00:39:56Yeah, every night.

00:39:58He hasn't managed the last two nights, have you, Michael?

00:40:01No.

00:40:02Were you down there the night before last?

00:40:05What, the night before the murder?

00:40:07Aye.

00:40:08About half eleven.

00:40:10Sure it wasn't later?

00:40:11He was back here by quarter to twelve.

00:40:13Did you see anyone else hanging around?

00:40:15No.

00:40:16It must be dark down there at night.

00:40:19Yeah.

00:40:20I'd carry a torch.

00:40:21He's walked it off enough.

00:40:23Have you ever seen anyone suspicious hanging about in there?

00:40:29Well, I see other people, but never any looking funny.

00:40:33How funny?

00:40:35Well, suspicious.

00:40:37It's mostly other dog walkers.

00:40:39And joggers.

00:40:41Do you think it was somebody that lives locally?

00:40:43No, we don't know.

00:40:44Look, I wish I could be more helpful.

00:40:47You ever see that girl before?

00:40:49Is she the one?

00:40:51No.

00:40:52Sorry.

00:40:53Well, if you happen to remember anything, let us know.

00:40:57Aye, I will.

00:40:58Michael, write the man's name down.

00:41:00Oh, aye.

00:41:01Say, Mr. Taggett into...

00:41:02Here.

00:41:03Take one of these.

00:41:04Thanks.

00:41:05I've never had the police here before.

00:41:07Not that unpleasant an experience.

00:41:09That's an attractive perfume you're wearing.

00:41:12I treat myself now and again.

00:41:14I will not take up any more of your time.

00:41:16I'll see you.

00:41:17Thanks, man.

00:41:18Yeah.

00:41:19Sorry I couldn't be any more helpful.

00:41:23Don't think of a postcard campaign as a sign of failure.

00:41:38I do, sir.

00:41:39You can't crack every case in 48 hours.

00:41:42We're no up yet.

00:41:43If there's some public response, that'll be a success.

00:41:47It seems such a simple one at first.

00:41:50Golf's like that.

00:41:51It's often the simpler shots that turn out the most difficult.

00:41:54I'll take your word for it.

00:41:56You should up-golf when this is over.

00:41:58Ease that tension a bit.

00:42:00I've always said you needed a hobby.

00:42:08I have my own car tonight.

00:42:10You know what haunts me?

00:42:11Knowing it's Billy Boy and not being able to prove that.

00:42:14Why did he cut her hair off at the roots?

00:42:16What did he do with it?

00:42:17He could be telling the truth.

00:42:19Or he could be clever.

00:42:21Six hours kept all right.

00:42:23It'll have to be.

00:42:24See you in the morning.

00:42:27You live alone?

00:42:28Yes, sir.

00:42:29Will you stop calling me that?

00:42:32I thought you'd be fixed up.

00:42:35There was someone in Edinburgh.

00:42:37Young and pretty, was she?

00:42:39I nearly married her.

00:42:41Why didn't you?

00:42:42She didn't want to be married to a policeman.

00:42:45She had brains.

00:42:54I'm not sure.

00:42:55I'm not sure.

00:42:56She didn't want to be married.

00:42:57I was a young man and married,

00:42:59I was a young man.

00:43:00I'd call her!

00:43:01I know my son.

00:43:02I was alive.

00:43:03I was trying to tell her.

00:43:04I didn't know my son.

00:43:05I'd call her!

00:43:06But I was a young man.

00:43:07I don't choose your son.

00:43:10I was scared.

00:43:11I'm sorry!

00:43:12I didn't have a job.

00:43:13I didn't have a job.

00:43:15Oh

00:43:45What do you think?

00:43:47Murder, murder, polish, three stairs up.

00:43:51Used to be a kid's street ring.

00:43:55Domestic murder, nice and easy, easy to solve.

00:44:0148 hours, not 10 days or 10 bloody weeks.

00:44:07You think we've got a maniac?

00:44:09I worked for eight months in the Samantha Bell murder,

00:44:1218 hours a day for eight months.

00:44:15And they ain't.

00:44:16They caught him because he had no rear lights.

00:44:19Sir.

00:44:24Excuse me, sir.

00:44:24Aye.

00:44:25I remember where I've seen him.

00:44:26Where?

00:44:27The video shop on Crannins Street, so he runs the place.

00:44:40This used to be a chemist.

00:44:41You going for any of this?

00:44:43Last time I was at the pictures, I saw the sound of music.

00:44:46That was one of the days when people at home read books.

00:44:49You're a snake.

00:44:49You know that?

00:44:50Somebody has to be.

00:44:55Yes?

00:44:56Detective Chief Inspector Taggart.

00:44:58Detective Sergeant Livingston.

00:45:00Do you recognize that?

00:45:02I got to check.

00:45:04Thank you, sir.

00:45:05Mr.

00:45:27I gave it to Susan.

00:45:33Was it expensive?

00:45:35No.

00:45:38How long did she work for you?

00:45:40Six months.

00:45:43Her birthday, was it?

00:45:45No.

00:45:46It just suited her.

00:45:49Did you have any family, Mr. Patterson?

00:45:51Her cousin.

00:45:53Well, not a real cousin.

00:45:54She was adopted.

00:45:55They're not very...

00:45:58They weren't very close.

00:46:00What about parents?

00:46:01Both dead.

00:46:04I suppose you'll want to know how I met her.

00:46:07Well, it was in London.

00:46:08Although she's from Glasgow, originally.

00:46:11She worked for one of my suppliers as a typist.

00:46:14I offered her this job managing the shop.

00:46:18Experienced, was she?

00:46:20I gave her the experience.

00:46:22No one had ever trusted her before.

00:46:24Where'd she stay?

00:46:25With Frances.

00:46:27Her cousin.

00:46:29More out of convenience.

00:46:31What time did she leave the shop last night?

00:46:34Five o'clock.

00:46:35She said she wasn't feeling well.

00:46:36But why didn't you see her home?

00:46:38Why should I have?

00:46:40I worked late in the office last night until nine.

00:46:44The fat men are due next week.

00:46:46The business to be in.

00:46:48Has its risks.

00:46:49Obviously.

00:46:49How many branches do you have?

00:46:50Four.

00:46:51No, I don't smoke some, never have.

00:46:57No vices at all.

00:46:58I'm not sure what you mean by that.

00:46:59This Susan McGuire was young enough to be your daughter.

00:47:00Did you have no conscience about that?

00:47:01I haven't got a daughter.

00:47:02Any children?

00:47:04Yes, we had a son.

00:47:05Died of meningitis when he was three.

00:47:07Did she have anything with her?

00:47:09A bag?

00:47:13She had a red canvas thing.

00:47:14What was in it?

00:47:15How should I know that?

00:47:16Did she normally walk home by the canal?

00:47:20Canal?

00:47:36Canal?

00:47:36Which way did she go?

00:47:38Summulston.

00:47:40Why the canal?

00:47:42She said she wasn't feeling well.

00:47:44I sent her home.

00:47:45Who else was she friendly with?

00:47:47Patricia.

00:47:48Who?

00:47:50My wife.

00:47:53I always thought...

00:47:56Well, it usually happens to other people.

00:47:58It usually does.

00:48:01I suppose you meet all of them.

00:48:03Murder touches everyone's lives, Mrs. Patterson, not just the victim.

00:48:10Slap, Sam.

00:48:14Why was she...

00:48:15We don't know the motive.

00:48:17Sometimes there is none outside the killer's mind.

00:48:25I feel sorry for her.

00:48:27When did you last see her?

00:48:28Only yesterday at the shop.

00:48:29With your husband there?

00:48:30No, he was another branch.

00:48:33I often called in to chat to Susan whilst out shopping.

00:48:35It's near my hairdressers.

00:48:39Who was she?

00:48:42Agitated.

00:48:44Mind you, she was that sort of girl, very nervy.

00:48:46Nice to you one minute, leap down your throat the next.

00:48:49I suppose it had a lot to do with being an orphan.

00:48:55That must sound condescending.

00:48:57A bit.

00:48:59Where was your husband last night?

00:49:01At the shop.

00:49:03I hope you don't suspect him.

00:49:04Have we any reason to?

00:49:06There'll be a bit of excitement in his life.

00:49:08He likes glamour and excitement.

00:49:09You have a nice house, Mrs. Patterson.

00:49:16Why didn't you bring his work home?

00:49:19He says I'm a distraction.

00:49:21It's nice to be thought of as one.

00:49:23Cigarette?

00:49:24No.

00:49:24No, thanks.

00:49:25Like Charlie.

00:49:26He hates me smoking.

00:49:27I, um, I'm afraid I've got to ask you some personal questions.

00:49:39I thought you might.

00:49:40Like your husband's relationship with Miss Maguire.

00:49:43Miss Maguire, you make it sound so important.

00:49:49You don't suspect him, do you?

00:49:54Answer me, please.

00:49:55Are you shutting up already?

00:50:12Where's that?

00:50:13Kinlock Hotel.

00:50:14King's House.

00:50:15Near Anagmore.

00:50:17Charlie and I spent our honeymoon there.

00:50:19It's like going home for him.

00:50:21He was stationed up there.

00:50:22But where do you want was he in?

00:50:23There, Giles.

00:50:25This, um, this affair your husband was having.

00:50:33I've had them too.

00:50:36None that were any secret from Charlie.

00:50:39That's the sort of marriage we have.

00:50:43Call it a safety valve, if you like.

00:50:44Safety from what?

00:50:46Stagnation.

00:50:47You don't plan it like that.

00:50:53At least we didn't.

00:50:54It just happened.

00:50:57Does that surprise you?

00:50:58Oh, I'm beyond being surprised.

00:51:01What a terrible admission to have to make.

00:51:03So what was sauce for Charlie?

00:51:05What makes you so sure it wasn't the other way around?

00:51:07I assumed he'd tire of her like all the others.

00:51:15Others?

00:51:16He'd like to impress them.

00:51:19He can afford to.

00:51:21I'm surprised he needed others.

00:51:26Oh, it's a disgrace, though it is.

00:51:28What is, Wilma?

00:51:30This man's still going to boot loose.

00:51:32I shouldn't think you're in one's danger.

00:51:35See you.

00:51:36We could throw it.

00:51:37Most in Strangler, he killed thirteen, Wilma.

00:51:40Used to tie a wee bow in the middle of ten.

00:51:42Oh, shut up, Wilma.

00:51:43Used to break into their apartments.

00:51:45I'll break into yours.

00:51:48Oh, any time.

00:51:49Oh, you're there.

00:51:52Aye, it's funny though, isn't it?

00:51:54We never get a woman going around wondering men.

00:51:57No.

00:51:57I think we should have one.

00:51:59Set the balance straight.

00:52:03Wilma.

00:52:05Just looking after the shop.

00:52:06Nae, but there.

00:52:07I came to find you.

00:52:08Put no numbers of you in here, Alec.

00:52:10Come on, Wilma.

00:52:11Oh, leave me alone.

00:52:12I don't want the police coming in again.

00:52:14Oh, you don't need me there all the time.

00:52:16Why did the police question you?

00:52:19Come on, Wilma.

00:52:20They don't think you're the Strangler, do they?

00:52:22That's a laugh.

00:52:23Oh, go and put your head in the microwave.

00:52:25Come on, you.

00:52:32I feel like it.

00:52:34What would the police want to win?

00:52:37All right, we're going.

00:52:38That's me.

00:52:44Hi.

00:52:47You've been a long time.

00:52:48There's been no that murdered you here.

00:52:50I heard.

00:52:51Here.

00:52:52I don't want to read about it.

00:52:54Makes me feel...

00:52:55What?

00:52:57Unsafe.

00:52:58Look, you're safe up here.

00:53:00They're both women my age.

00:53:03There you are.

00:53:04So?

00:53:05I do have to go out.

00:53:07Come on, think of the odds.

00:53:08It's not the point, Michael.

00:53:11It's all right for a man.

00:53:17What's that?

00:53:18A present.

00:53:20You shouldn't.

00:53:22Look, just keep still.

00:53:26Where'd you get it?

00:53:27I bought it.

00:53:29You can't afford it.

00:53:30How does it look?

00:53:36We'll go and see.

00:53:46I still say you should...

00:53:47I've had a detective here.

00:54:15I've had two.

00:54:17I've had two.

00:54:20Look.

00:54:25I'm sorry about Susan.

00:54:29Charlie.

00:54:32Oh.

00:54:40The Lord knoweth our frame.

00:54:42He remembereth that we are dust.

00:54:44The Lord is good to all

00:54:46and his tender mercies

00:54:47are over all his works.

00:54:50To this end,

00:54:51Christ died and rose again

00:54:52that he might be Lord

00:54:53both of the dead

00:54:54and of the living.

00:54:56For as much as the soul

00:54:58of this our sister

00:54:59has departed this life,

00:55:01we therefore commit her body

00:55:03to the ground,

00:55:04earth to earth,

00:55:06ashes to ashes,

00:55:07dust to dust,

00:55:08looking to the infinite mercy

00:55:10of God in Jesus Christ,

00:55:12our Lord.

00:55:12Let us pray.

00:55:14Oh, God of infinite compassion,

00:55:16who art the comforter

00:55:17of thy children,

00:55:18look down in thy tender love

00:55:20and pity we beseech thee

00:55:21upon thy stricken servants

00:55:23upon whom...

00:55:23What are those two doing here?

00:55:23The two that play pool

00:55:24at the gondola?

00:55:25Yeah, Les Barker

00:55:26and Bunny Cotter.

00:55:27Bunny?

00:55:29He used to work

00:55:29in a sauna club.

00:55:31Rumor has it

00:55:31he would jump on anything.

00:55:33He's no connection

00:55:34with the Valentines.

00:55:42Where did he get those?

00:55:43Their jeans.

00:55:45She uses them at the theatre.

00:55:46I find they come in useful

00:55:47at funerals.

00:55:48What the hell is he doing here?

00:55:51Michael Boyd.

00:55:54God will watch over her,

00:55:56Mr. Valentine.

00:55:57Mrs. Valentine.

00:55:58He didn't do a very good job

00:56:00down here, did he?

00:56:06Mr. Taggart,

00:56:07I hope you're satisfied.

00:56:09What should it be, Billy?

00:56:10Six hours you had me.

00:56:12Six hours in which

00:56:13you got away and killed again.

00:56:15Leave them, son.

00:56:18You ever felt unwanted?

00:56:20When I met you?

00:56:22You know, there was a day

00:56:23when people trusted you enough

00:56:25to come and speak to you.

00:56:26It was one silent, bloody city.

00:56:44You want to find out who killed

00:56:45your daughter?

00:56:46Be there.

00:56:47Inspector Taggart.

00:56:59Boys,

00:57:00do you like funerals?

00:57:02Not especially, no.

00:57:03Well, neither do I.

00:57:04So what are you two doing here?

00:57:06Paying respects.

00:57:07We're coming your mood.

00:57:07Any wrong in paying respects?

00:57:11For you two,

00:57:12where there's no pool table

00:57:13and no beer, yes.

00:57:14Well, we fancy the change.

00:57:16From what?

00:57:17The gondola.

00:57:18So you popped into

00:57:19the local cemetery

00:57:20for a quick burial.

00:57:21Come on, boys.

00:57:22I'm fighting Jesus.

00:57:24You're what?

00:57:24You heard.

00:57:26I'd put him back.

00:57:27I shouldn't think

00:57:28he wants you.

00:57:29I'm looking for a killer

00:57:30and you're not being

00:57:31very helpful.

00:57:32What sort of help

00:57:33do you need?

00:57:34I need information.

00:57:35Anything.

00:57:36Gives you a lot of confidence

00:57:37in our police,

00:57:38doesn't it, Bunny?

00:57:40A lot of confidence.

00:57:44What's up?

00:57:46There was a detective here

00:57:47a few minutes ago

00:57:48asking about Michael.

00:57:52A detective?

00:57:53He's been here before.

00:57:55Is he in some kind of trouble?

00:57:57No.

00:57:58At least don't come

00:57:59to fault in Leicester

00:58:00in some kind of trouble, this.

00:58:02It's about time you had a job.

00:58:04Don't see why you should

00:58:05always be bringing in the money.

00:58:06I don't mind.

00:58:08Stuck up here

00:58:08like a pair of pigeons.

00:58:11I told you, didn't I?

00:58:12He'd come to no good.

00:58:15It was about the murder.

00:58:18What?

00:58:19They just want you know

00:58:19where he was last Tuesday.

00:58:21I don't think

00:58:22of course I know.

00:58:24I must.

00:58:26Please don't ask people

00:58:27questions without good reason.

00:58:29Mammy, they call it

00:58:29routine inquiries.

00:58:31Oh, eh?

00:58:32What's Michael doing

00:58:33in their routine?

00:58:35I warned you, Liz.

00:58:37I warned you all along

00:58:38that this would happen.

00:58:39Marry Michael

00:58:40and you'll have a life at work.

00:58:41He's never been in trouble before.

00:58:44Come on.

00:58:45On you go.

00:58:47I didn't even know

00:58:47you were coming today.

00:58:48I wasn't.

00:58:50It's a good job I did, though.

00:58:51What was wrong?

00:58:55That detective

00:58:56was here again.

00:58:58What one?

00:58:59The young one.

00:59:03And what did he want?

00:59:04He was asking about you.

00:59:07He wanted to know

00:59:08where you were last Tuesday.

00:59:10About half past five.

00:59:12And what did you tell him?

00:59:13that you were here?

00:59:18That would have made a change.

00:59:23I know Charlie Patterson well.

00:59:26A shite like that

00:59:27plays golf, sir.

00:59:29St. Peter's there

00:59:30to make moral judgments.

00:59:32Not you.

00:59:34What do you have on him?

00:59:35She followed him

00:59:38from London.

00:59:39She was his mistress.

00:59:40She worked in one of his shops.

00:59:42And a crime?

00:59:44Have you seen his wife?

00:59:48I know his wife.

00:59:50Sit down.

00:59:53You look tired.

00:59:55Oh, I'm fine, sir.

00:59:58Be suspicious, Jim,

00:59:59but keep a sense of proportion.

01:00:00I'm trying to.

01:00:01Do you have any evidence

01:00:03that he knew

01:00:04Eileen Ballantyne?

01:00:05Not yet.

01:00:06That there was any connection

01:00:07between the two?

01:00:08Does there have to be?

01:00:11What was his alibi

01:00:12for the first murder?

01:00:15He was with her.

01:00:17Convenient?

01:00:19Plausible.

01:00:20In the circumstances.

01:00:21Did you know

01:00:21what they were, sir?

01:00:22I never probed

01:00:24into their private life.

01:00:25Well, it's not private now.

01:00:31The same.

01:00:34This must be difficult

01:00:35for you, sir.

01:00:40Charlie and I

01:00:41grew up together

01:00:43on the same side

01:00:43of the street.

01:00:45We were going to enter

01:00:46the police force together,

01:00:47but he joined the army instead

01:00:49where he was better suited.

01:00:52Then we lost touch

01:00:53for a long time.

01:00:57Then he started up

01:00:58as a builder

01:00:58with severance paper

01:00:59and extension of my house.

01:01:02Down with a twin fashion.

01:01:04No.

01:01:08I was best man

01:01:09at his wedding.

01:01:13Well, you know

01:01:14what they say

01:01:14about friendships

01:01:15outside the force, sir.

01:01:18That's why I worried a bit

01:01:19when he went

01:01:20into the video office.

01:01:21No shading

01:01:22and being a builder

01:01:22in my opinion.

01:01:31Jim.

01:01:36Hi, Larry.

01:01:38How's it going?

01:01:38Fine, fine.

01:01:40You're not hooked?

01:01:41What's that in childhood?

01:01:42Never as good

01:01:43as the flask alley.

01:01:44Do you want a drink?

01:01:44I can't stop longer.

01:01:46I'm meeting my film company

01:01:47board in ten minutes.

01:01:48What mean?

01:01:49Pint.

01:01:49Whiskey.

01:01:51Half and a half pint

01:01:51of heavy, please.

01:01:54You got that?

01:01:56You got that strangle yet?

01:01:58You want to confess?

01:01:59Yes.

01:02:00Oh, I've got better

01:02:01things to do

01:02:02in my time.

01:02:05Oh, my name.

01:02:15So, why here?

01:02:18It's not official.

01:02:20Village for deal.

01:02:21Which branch?

01:02:22Don Conn and Spoole.

01:02:23Visited the Rulligan

01:02:24one a while ago.

01:02:25Any pire of copies?

01:02:26None.

01:02:27Surprised he stays

01:02:28in business.

01:02:29You reckon

01:02:30Duncan Street's worth

01:02:31having a look at him?

01:02:32Could be.

01:02:33Doubt we should've

01:02:34got reasons.

01:02:35He's got four video

01:02:36shops.

01:02:37Hardly an empire.

01:02:38That went bust.

01:02:40A big house

01:02:40in Bearsden.

01:02:41A wife with expensive

01:02:42taste.

01:02:43It belongs to a local

01:02:44golf club.

01:02:45You know the kind

01:02:45of thing.

01:02:47He joined the army

01:02:47to see the world.

01:02:49Learned to survive.

01:02:51Too well.

01:02:54Is this personal?

01:02:56Is this?

01:02:56No.

01:02:58We'll drop by.

01:02:59Be discreet.

01:03:01Never met you.

01:03:03They're sophisticated

01:03:04boys now.

01:03:05Not just your wee

01:03:06backroom coffee

01:03:07and jobs.

01:03:08I mean, it's

01:03:08big business.

01:03:10Saw new sci-fi

01:03:10horror the other

01:03:11day.

01:03:11Hasn't even been

01:03:12released yet.

01:03:13Wee news agent

01:03:14in Paisley had

01:03:15six.

01:03:16On Cannon Street.

01:03:18Aye.

01:03:19How's Jean?

01:03:20As well as can

01:03:21be expected.

01:03:22Still ideals on

01:03:23wheelies.

01:03:23She gets around.

01:03:24Setting the example.

01:03:30I've been looking

01:03:31for you.

01:03:31Am I a missing

01:03:32person?

01:03:34Must go.

01:03:34See you, Jim.

01:03:35Go and sink the ship.

01:03:38What ship?

01:03:39An old pal in

01:03:40naval demolition.

01:03:42Have you put

01:03:43Grant and Collins

01:03:43on to tell me

01:03:44Paterson?

01:03:44What are DC's for?

01:03:45You were one not so

01:03:46long ago.

01:03:47Well, you might have

01:03:47told me.

01:03:48Well, now you know.

01:03:50What do we expect

01:03:50him to do?

01:03:53If he so much as

01:03:54puts on loud socks

01:03:55in a built-up area,

01:03:57I'll have it.

01:03:59How long am I going

01:03:59to be here,

01:04:00Mr. Paterson?

01:04:01As long as it takes.

01:04:02It's not cut off

01:04:03in the Pollock Shows

01:04:03branch.

01:04:04I've got to travel

01:04:04further to get here.

01:04:05You do know the

01:04:06circumstances?

01:04:07Aye.

01:04:08Good.

01:04:08Just manage the shop

01:04:09and try not to

01:04:10scare the customers.

01:04:10Thank you so much.

01:04:40Morning.

01:04:46Morning.

01:04:47Trading standards

01:04:47officer's special

01:04:48video squad.

01:04:49Mind if we have

01:04:49a look round?

01:04:51Mr. Paterson.

01:04:52What?

01:04:55Oh, God.

01:04:56Just taking a look

01:04:57round.

01:04:58As if I can

01:04:58stop you?

01:05:08What's the matter?

01:05:10I've been caught

01:05:12with half a dozen

01:05:13pirated cassettes.

01:05:14Is that all?

01:05:16No.

01:05:17I'm being watched.

01:05:19Watched?

01:05:21By whom?

01:05:23The police.

01:05:24Never.

01:05:27There's a car

01:05:27out there now.

01:05:31Not very subtle.

01:05:34You know what it is.

01:05:36They think I'm the

01:05:37strangler.

01:05:38What are you

01:05:39going to do about it?

01:05:40I've already done

01:05:42something.

01:05:42I've already done

01:05:43something.

01:05:44It.

01:05:48I've already done it.

01:05:49I've been done it again.
