00:00:30So we're all going to look at the area now.
00:00:41Finally, the temperature is not very splendid.
00:00:44It's so much a little.
00:00:49More rain is quite shocking.
00:00:50The north, the central back of the hour of the sunshine,
00:00:53a similar path right down the country,
00:00:55right into Wales and into the south of the border,
00:00:57but topped over to the south.
00:00:59So this, so this, so this, come on.
00:01:29This is crazy.
00:01:30This is crazy.
00:01:31This is crazy.
00:01:32That one is an American dream.
00:01:33This is crazy.
00:01:34This is a tough life.
00:01:37See you, see you.
00:04:13I haven't seen you here before.
00:04:18Pardon?
00:04:18I haven't seen you here before.
00:04:20No, no.
00:04:21I've only been a couple of times.
00:04:23Last time I came with her to her end, but she's got a cold.
00:04:28Cheers.
00:04:29Cheers.
00:04:29I didn't realise how difficult it was for a woman to come out on her own, but it is.
00:04:39I can't believe it.
00:04:40I can't believe it.
00:04:42Sorry.
00:04:43What's your name?
00:04:45Beatty.
00:04:46I'm Alec.
00:04:47Alec Dewar.
00:04:48How did you do?
00:04:51You're not married, then?
00:04:54My husband's in the match.
00:04:56I believe you're in the oil rigs.
00:04:58You only come to school.
00:05:00One seventy, two months.
00:05:01I used to be in the R.A.F.
00:05:04I used to be in the R.A.F.
00:05:06Did you?
00:05:08That's what I do now.
00:05:12You're pathetic, please.
00:05:14A lot of people come to me for help in giving up smoking.
00:05:17Don't you really want to read it in the magazines?
00:05:24Dancing ladies.
00:05:27Dancing ladies.
00:05:31Dancing ladies.
00:05:34Dancing ladies.
00:05:36And let me see you dancing.
00:05:37Come on.
00:05:51Excuse me.
00:05:59Do you like Rachmaninoff?
00:06:01Well, I used to.
00:06:03You look like a Rachmaninoff Goyle to me.
00:06:07Do you, um, do you live on your own?
00:06:11I have a lodger.
00:06:12Plates drums for the rivals.
00:06:14Who?
00:06:15The band at the disco.
00:06:16Oh.
00:06:17But he won't be back for some time yet.
00:06:20And your shoes have said you'll stay.
00:06:24No, they've said my feet are killing me.
00:06:28Of course, you may have something to go back home to.
00:06:31A dog.
00:06:33Or a parrot.
00:06:35No, just home.
00:06:38Ah.
00:06:40Well, I was thinking of going away for a couple of days.
00:06:42To my cottage on the west coast.
00:06:44Would you like to come?
00:06:48We don't even know each other.
00:06:49Well, you broke one convention tonight.
00:06:52Break another.
00:06:53Unorthodox.
00:07:08Ha! Unorthodox.
00:07:14Up there. Okay?
00:07:38Up there.
00:08:03You'll make Rimbledon yet?
00:08:05Selling strawberries. Very funny.
00:08:08How's Jane?
00:08:12Haven't seen her for a while.
00:08:14Okay.
00:08:15I think she was bringing her around for a meal one night.
00:08:17Yeah.
00:08:18You seeing anyone yourself these days?
00:08:21Jim Taggart.
00:08:25Does he ever smile?
00:08:27Yes.
00:08:28But you have to make an appointment.
00:08:38What?
00:08:39What?
00:08:40What?
00:08:41Right.
00:08:43Get your skates on, Peter. We've got a severed leg near the Irskin Bridge.
00:08:54Human?
00:08:55No.
00:08:56No.
00:08:57The kind you put mint sauce on.
00:08:59You're not supposed to be part of a tailor's, don't they?
00:09:00It's beginning to smell a wee bit now, sir.
00:09:01By the way, you're the one that's smelling.
00:09:02I had sweat.
00:09:03I was playing tennis.
00:09:04Well, this time in the morning.
00:09:05When do I get any other time?
00:09:06You might have a bath before you come on duty.
00:09:08Who found it?
00:09:09The van driver.
00:09:10Stopped for a pee.
00:09:11What, here?
00:09:12What is he?
00:09:13Some sort of exhibitionist?
00:09:14Probably thrown from a car.
00:09:15Got a way to go.
00:09:16Good quality stocking.
00:09:17Good quality stocking.
00:09:18No.
00:09:19No.
00:09:20No.
00:09:21No.
00:09:22No.
00:09:23No.
00:09:24No.
00:09:25No.
00:09:26No.
00:09:27No.
00:09:28No.
00:09:29No.
00:09:30No.
00:09:31No.
00:09:32No.
00:09:33No.
00:09:34No.
00:09:35No.
00:09:36Fine.
00:09:37Good quality stocking.
00:09:39The next thing you'll be telling me is what she had for breakfast.
00:09:41No.
00:09:42I don't know what you had.
00:09:43You have egg on your tie.
00:09:55Took me six weeks to learn this.
00:09:59Oh, I think it'll change six years.
00:10:01Helps if you've got strong hands.
00:10:04Where were you before?
00:10:05Where were you before?
00:10:06Johnson's Tea Factory.
00:10:08Oh, why did you leave?
00:10:10My mother was ill.
00:10:11I had to look after her.
00:10:13You better now?
00:10:15She died a couple of weeks ago.
00:10:17What about your dad?
00:10:19Don't remember him?
00:10:22Oh, it's just good to have a job again after six months.
00:10:26We're all one big happy family here.
00:10:28Isn't that right, George?
00:10:30What's that?
00:10:31I said we're all one big happy family here.
00:10:34Ah, that's right.
00:10:36As long as you don't mind the smell of blood.
00:10:40Dr Andrews is examining the leg now, sir.
00:10:42Victim's age?
00:10:44Between 25 and 40.
00:10:46We're hoping to narrow it down.
00:10:48What do you reckon?
00:10:49She from round here?
00:10:50Could have been dumped from a car coming from anywhere.
00:10:52Do we have any missing persons?
00:10:54Yeah, we've got a few.
00:10:56We're doing the usual checks with other forces.
00:10:58Could be a long task.
00:10:59We hope we can close this case in a fortnight.
00:11:01Taking my wife to Bali for three weeks, then.
00:11:04Oh, we'll do our best, naturally, sir.
00:11:07Experience suggests that the wrappings often provide the best leads.
00:11:10You sound as if we get one a week.
00:11:12Oh, thank Christ we don't.
00:11:13There must be a lot of Blackwatch tarting rugs about.
00:11:16Blackwatch?
00:11:18It's McDonald.
00:11:19Blackwatch.
00:11:20That's the McDonald of the Isles.
00:11:22Well, make your bloody minds up.
00:11:24OK, I'll pass that on to him when he comes out.
00:11:26What's that?
00:11:27Bali.
00:11:28One of Australians.
00:11:29Hope he is hit by a boomerang.
00:11:31Sir.
00:11:32Could have a lead.
00:11:33House to house have turned up this lady.
00:11:35Seems you saw a gang of Hail's Angels partening the lay-by three days ago.
00:11:39Hail's Angels?
00:11:41That's all we need.
00:11:42Sugar?
00:11:43Two, please.
00:11:44Thanks.
00:11:45We're making that 20-pound haggis tomorrow, aren't we, George?
00:12:01Ah, that's right.
00:12:02How big's that?
00:12:04That big.
00:12:05It's for a Freemason's due.
00:12:11How long have you worked here?
00:12:13Somebody give us a hand.
00:12:16I better go.
00:12:20He's just been here for six months.
00:12:23He doesn't say a lot.
00:12:25Ah, well, he has his problems.
00:12:27His wife's left him.
00:12:29Oh.
00:12:31I didn't realise.
00:12:33He doesn't like to talk about it.
00:12:35Oh.
00:12:36Oh.
00:12:37Oh.
00:12:38Oh.
00:12:39Oh, oh.
00:12:40Oh.
00:12:41Oh.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44Oh.
00:12:45Oh.
00:12:46Oh.
00:12:49Oh, oh.
00:12:50Oh.
00:12:51Oh.
00:12:52Oh.
00:12:54Oh.
00:12:55Oh, oh.
00:12:57Oh.
00:12:58Oh.
00:12:59Oh, oh, oh.
00:13:02Oh, my God.
00:13:32Oh, my God.
00:14:02Oh, my God.
00:14:04From the state of decomposition of the other leg,
00:14:06you're looking for a woman who was killed about six days ago.
00:14:09Which means he's in no hurry to get rid of the pieces.
00:14:12Mm.
00:14:13Impossible, of course, to tell you how she was killed
00:14:16until we get the rest of her.
00:14:18Can you narrow that age down at all?
00:14:20Mm.
00:14:2235-ish.
00:14:24That's a big-ish.
00:14:26The toes seem buckled together.
00:14:28Mm.
00:14:29Yes, from wearing ill-fitting shoes.
00:14:32The majority of women do.
00:14:34I don't suppose you've spotted something useful?
00:14:38Like a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:40I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:42I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:43I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:44I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:45I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:46I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:47I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:48I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:49I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:50I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:51I don't suppose you've got a name tattooed on the thigh.
00:14:52So
00:15:22I don't know.
00:15:52How old are the children?
00:16:04Two boys of 16, one of 14 and a daughter of 12.
00:16:10You haven't heard from your wife?
00:16:12Not a thing.
00:16:14We've been married for 17 years.
00:16:16She's had no reason to leave home.
00:16:19How was she?
00:16:21She was always smiling, happy.
00:16:24No relatives she could have gone to.
00:16:26I've phoned around them all.
00:16:27Well, I'd like a list of them.
00:16:28But this is what I wanted done 10 days ago when I first reported I'm missing, but nobody was interested.
00:16:33It's not a crime to go missing, Mr Robinson.
00:16:35Not a crime?
00:16:36To leave a husband and four children?
00:16:37We haven't got the manpower to trace every missing person.
00:16:44You have the manpower now, don't you?
00:16:46I'd like a list of the relatives.
00:16:49There's something.
00:16:51I found this three days ago.
00:16:52Where?
00:16:55Behind the cops.
00:16:56Behind the cops.
00:16:56We'll be right there.
00:17:00It's Livingston, sir.
00:17:02He needs help.
00:17:03Don't I know that.
00:17:04Sorry, sir.
00:17:05It's an emergency.
00:17:06That's it.
00:17:19Welcome to the police.
00:19:27Quite as big as those.
00:19:29Oh, boys.
00:19:58What's this?
00:20:05The Boy Scout Jamboree?
00:20:08The last person that did that near me wore his boss head for earrings.
00:20:18You all right, big man?
00:20:20Sorry if we interrupted something.
00:20:26I don't talk to pigs.
00:20:28I don't talk to pigs.
00:20:30I don't make a habit of talking to people with a manners of pigs, but sometimes the job demands it.
00:20:36What's your real name?
00:20:38It's just Zack.
00:20:39It's just Zack.
00:20:40How many more times?
00:20:42Okay.
00:20:44So you just happened to see a car pull up and somebody throw an object down the bank.
00:20:49Right.
00:20:50You can't describe the car.
00:20:51You can't describe the car.
00:20:52I'm a biker.
00:20:53I don't look at cars.
00:20:55You're not colour blind, are you?
00:20:56You're not colour blind, are you?
00:20:57It was night.
00:20:58You're the only one who saw it?
00:21:02Most of us had crashed.
00:21:03I was the lookout.
00:21:05Against what?
00:21:07Attila the Hun.
00:21:10What were you doing there anyway?
00:21:12We were on a run.
00:21:13And what were you doing today?
00:21:15The same run.
00:21:18And you can't begin to describe the person you saw?
00:21:21No.
00:21:22Weren't you curious to know what he'd thrown down the bank?
00:21:25I don't interfere in other people's business.
00:21:28What's your name?
00:21:29I've read where you come from.
00:21:31Oh, you can read up here then.
00:21:33Take those bloody glasses off!
00:21:39Now listen, you.
00:21:41I could charge you and your pals with a hundred things and keep you here.
00:21:48It's Zach Stephens.
00:21:54That wasn't too painful, was it?
00:21:56Well, that's that.
00:21:57What about the dangerous driving?
00:21:58No helmets.
00:21:59First priority with him is as a witness.
00:22:02You've got a missing person.
00:22:04He chewed up my ID card.
00:22:05Hopefully it doesn't give him any gestures.
00:22:06Oh, sir.
00:22:07When did you last see her?
00:22:08Haven't seen her for five days.
00:22:09Not since he went back to sea.
00:22:10He?
00:22:11Fred, her husband.
00:22:12I'm not one to spread gossip, but I could hear the rouse they were having before he left.
00:22:17What does he do?
00:22:18Merchant Navy.
00:22:19Merchant Navy.
00:22:20Merchant Navy.
00:22:21Chief Engineer.
00:22:22All rigged supply vessel.

00:29:27Hey, Mr. Dewar.
00:29:36Yes?
00:29:37My name's Angus Robinson.
00:29:39I'm looking for my wife.
00:29:47Well, how can I help you?
00:29:49I found a card with your name and address on it.
00:29:51My kids don't seem to know you, so I assume my wife knew you somehow.
00:29:54Robinson?
00:29:55Yeah, Mary Robinson.
00:29:56She's been missing for ten days.
00:29:59Oh, yes.
00:30:01She came to me two or three times.
00:30:04What for?
00:30:05Well, I'm a hypnotherapist.
00:30:06Your wife came to me as a patient.
00:30:08She wasn't ill.
00:30:09She was.
00:30:10She was depressed.
00:30:13She never said anything to me about it.
00:30:16Look, if your wife is missing, Mr. Robinson, I suggest that's a matter for the police.
00:30:20She walked out on me and the four kids.
00:30:24I'm sorry.
00:30:24I really am.
00:30:38Excuse me.
00:30:39Are you a friend of Mr. Dewar's?
00:30:41Sorry?
00:30:42A patient?
00:30:44No, I...
00:30:45Forgive me for asking, but is perhaps your wife a patient of his?
00:30:50What do you know about my wife?
00:30:52Nothing, personally.
00:30:54I'm Judy Morris, Scottish Sunday Herald.
00:30:57Could we talk?
00:31:00Could we talk?
00:31:00You're the drummer, aren't you?
00:31:20That's right.
00:31:21I think you're really great.
00:31:23Do you have a girl's girl?
00:31:24No.
00:31:26I'm Lena.
00:31:27I've got a guy like you with a hundred.
00:31:30I'm just the drummer.
00:31:32I play drums.
00:31:34Mine's a brand new day to show.
00:31:37Mine's lager.
00:31:38But it's gone.
00:31:40Really?
00:31:40Do you have any...
00:31:44What?
00:31:44A smoke.
00:31:45A smoke.
00:31:46Oh.
00:31:47No, not that kind.
00:31:55And here he is, my main man, Paul Young.
00:32:03Hello.
00:32:04Hello.
00:32:06Aren't you going to introduce us?
00:32:08Alex, this is, uh...
00:32:10Lena.
00:32:10Lena.
00:32:11Hello, Lena.
00:32:11I've seen you here quite a lot.
00:32:13Yeah?
00:32:15Shall we dance?
00:32:16Aye.
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:17You don't waste time, do you?
00:32:26What?
00:32:27I said, you don't waste much time.
00:32:30I'm not worth it, you see.
00:32:37For I'm the type of boy who is always on the road.
00:32:44Wherever I lay my hand, that's mine.
00:32:54Makes you wonder.
00:32:56Why?
00:32:57What?
00:32:57Missing persons.
00:32:59Some of them look around the room tonight, some of them won't.
00:33:01There's a son might be buried somewhere.
00:33:03You'll never know.
00:33:10I see yours for an eight cup.
00:33:12I thought you were supposed to be the married one.
00:33:15Yeah, okay.
00:33:16I'm going for a drink.
00:33:29I'm going for a drink.
00:33:38I'm going for a drink.
00:33:39You coming?
00:33:40No.
00:33:41No, thank you, sir.
00:33:46I'd rather see you fresh in the morning.
00:33:48I'll be fresh.
00:33:51Could be she's from another part of the country.
00:33:53I don't think so, sir.
00:33:54I think she's local.
00:33:55Well, hope you're right.
00:33:59Good night.
00:33:59Good night.
00:34:20Mr. Robinson.
00:34:21Detective Chief Inspector Tigert.
00:34:23It's about this card you found behind your clock.
00:34:53He's been like it ever since his daughter left home.
00:35:21Taking it out anew, eh?
00:35:24What's new?
00:35:26Where's she gone?
00:35:28Taking up a nursing post.
00:35:29Some hospital in Manchester, I think.
00:35:33Didn't you go out with her a couple of times?
00:35:36Yes.
00:35:40Peter.
00:35:43There's something I haven't told anybody else.
00:35:46What?
00:35:48Can I trust you?
00:35:48It's Jane.
00:35:52She's walked out.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54She's left me.
00:35:57I don't believe it.
00:35:59I thought way to go.
00:36:07Well,
00:36:07Why didn't you tell anyone before that?
00:36:10Come on.
00:36:11Most of the guys were at my wedding.
00:36:13You've only been married, what?
00:36:1418 months?
00:36:18So where is she?
00:36:20That's it.
00:36:21I don't know.
00:36:23Got home around midnight a week ago Friday.
00:36:25There was this note.
00:36:26Don't bother looking for me.
00:36:28It said, don't try to find me.
00:36:29Why did she do it?
00:36:35You must have some idea where she is.
00:36:39Parents are on holiday.
00:36:40She's not with them.
00:36:41One of her friends knows where she is.
00:36:43I'm damn sure of it.
00:36:45You want to make it official?
00:36:47Come on.
00:36:48And have everybody know.
00:36:50But she'll come back sooner or later, Peter.
00:36:55Fancy that pair over there.
00:36:56Well, I don't suppose you see much of him
00:37:02if he's a security guard.
00:37:05No, I don't.
00:37:07Do you get lonely?
00:37:08I do a bit.
00:37:10Oh, dear.
00:37:12Can't have that.
00:37:13Do you use a pendulum?
00:37:15Huh?
00:37:15Or do I have to stare into flames?
00:37:18You've been watching too many films.
00:37:20I use my voice.
00:37:28It opens doors.
00:37:38Sorry.
00:37:39What can we do for you?
00:37:40I'll leave you alone, then.
00:37:53Good night.
00:37:57My lodger.
00:37:59Hey, listen.
00:38:00I was thinking of going away for a couple of days.
00:38:03To my cottage on the west coast.
00:38:05Would you like to come?
00:38:06This reporter's got quite a file on Dewar.
00:38:18Why did his wife go to him?
00:38:20Dewar says she was depressed.
00:38:22Though I can't understand why people want to take their problems to cranks.
00:38:25Sometimes there's nobody else.
00:38:28Sarge, state to the end.
00:38:33Yes?
00:38:33Yes?
00:38:33Yes.
00:38:36Mr. Dewar.
00:38:39We'd like a few words.
00:38:41It isn't convenient.
00:38:43It's convenient.
00:38:45What's it about?
00:38:46Can we come in?
00:38:59Well, at least you've learned the grace of ringing doorbells.
00:39:02We're looking for a Mrs. Mary Robinson.
00:39:04We understand she was a patient of yours.
00:39:07Yes.
00:39:08Her husband was here yesterday.
00:39:10When did you last see her?
00:39:17April the 27th.
00:39:18Mrs. Robinson went missing on the 28th.
00:39:21I didn't realise.
00:39:24So anything you could tell us about her would be useful.
00:39:28She was depressed.
00:39:30Unhappy with her family.
00:39:32Felt trapped.
00:39:33I meet a lot of women like her.
00:39:35Would she have taken her own life?
00:39:37I don't know.
00:39:38I hope not.
00:39:40Did she tell you she intended leaving her husband and children?
00:39:44No.
00:39:45But if she had, it wouldn't have surprised me.
00:39:47Where did she find out about your services?
00:39:50I advertise.
00:39:53Was Mrs. Swan a patient?
00:39:55Er, no.
00:39:56She was just a friend.
00:39:58You married, Mr. Ture?
00:39:59Separated.
00:40:01My wife's living in France, I think.
00:40:03How long ago?
00:40:04About a year.
00:40:05Look, is this the same inquiry?
00:40:06Are you still looking for the owner of the legs?
00:40:08It is.
00:40:09The same inquiry.
00:40:10I wouldn't chop up a woman.
00:40:12Terrible waste.
00:40:13I don't know.
00:40:43We're looking for a runner camera.
00:40:59I'll be with you in a moment.
00:41:04If you'd like to start unloading, there's a couple of guys coming to help you in a minute, okay?
00:41:07Okay.
00:41:13This job has its compensations.
00:41:19What can I do for you?
00:41:20You're one of the biggest manufacturers of tartan rights.
00:41:23So I like to think.
00:41:24We're the police.
00:41:25We'd like you to come down to the station and help us identify a piece of tartan.
00:41:30Has it got a label on it?
00:41:31No.
00:41:32No label.
00:41:33What tartan is it?
00:41:34McDonald's.
00:41:34Black watch.
00:41:37McDonald's.
00:41:38Well, it could be difficult.
00:41:40There's a lot of copying goes on.
00:41:41It's quite a large piece.
00:41:43Connected with some crime, is it?
00:41:46You could say.
00:41:47What do you imagine he's got in there?
00:42:00What?
00:42:00That box.
00:42:04Ask him.
00:42:05I'm not nosy.
00:42:08Perhaps he's got you a birthday present.
00:42:09Oh, I'm sure.
00:42:14You know, I could unpick that string and do it up again in five seconds.
00:42:19Why don't you?
00:42:31This is Mrs Cameron, Detective Chief Inspector Tangett.
00:42:34Hello.
00:42:34How do you do?
00:42:36Have you two got nothing to do?
00:42:39I was about to say it's difficult to tell whether this is ours.
00:42:48It could be.
00:42:50There's one sure way of knowing.
00:42:52What's that?
00:42:53We keep all our dye stuffs on file.
00:42:57So we can extract the dye from some of these threads and compare them.
00:43:01That's a start.
00:43:02Right.
00:43:03What was it used for?
00:43:05It was used to wrap up part of a human body.
00:43:08Well, I'll do all I can to help.
00:43:16You know, most people would feel squeamish knowing a thing like that.
00:43:20I might be if the part of the body was still in it.
00:43:22If it is your rug, how many shops would sell it?
00:43:28You're talking about hundreds.
00:43:32All right.
00:43:34I thought I might be.
00:43:38I've been a lager and I've been a heavy.
00:43:40I've been a lager.
00:43:46Oh, I've got one shot.
00:43:57Keep it with big money.
00:44:01Keep it with change.
00:44:06I don't...
00:44:13Mmm, good fish.
00:44:27Ah, look at this.
00:44:30Listen, change self-defeating patterns.
00:44:33Hundreds help, smoking, overweight, sexual problems.
00:44:37Caring psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, Alexander Dewar.
00:44:41What was he like?
00:44:43Smart.
00:44:44Qualified?
00:44:45He's not registered, if that's what you mean.
00:44:47Well, good work if you can get it.
00:44:55Have you told Jim yet?
00:44:59No.
00:45:00You've got to, Kenny.
00:45:02What I told you was in confidence.
00:45:04You know the sort of case we're working on.
00:45:06Gene doesn't want to be traced.
00:45:08If there's anyone going to be traced, it'll be me.
00:45:11I wonder how long he's going to be on that delivery.
00:45:21I wonder how long he's going to be on that delivery.
00:45:23I wonder how long he's going to be on that delivery.
00:45:27I wonder how long he's been on that delivery.
00:45:29Yeah, he's going to be traced.
00:45:30I wonder how long he's on that delivery.
00:45:31I wonder how long he's going to be traced, Paul.
00:45:33What are you doing?
00:46:03I've parked here because I don't want your employees to know I'm about.
00:46:18How many have you got?
00:46:19On the manufacturing side or altogether?
00:46:22Altogether.
00:46:2363.
00:46:24I'll need their home addresses, please.
00:46:27That explains your secrecy. You suspect one of them.
00:46:30I wish my choices were so narrow.
00:46:35When I come to collect the dye stuff, I'm just an ordinary retailer.
00:46:40Okay?
00:46:40Come to my house. I'll take it home with me.
00:46:43Aye. I'd like that.
00:46:48You shouldn't be so secretive.
00:46:50Me secretive? You've been too bloody nosy as usual.
00:46:53I didn't even think you knew it was my birthday.
00:46:57You're embarrassed.
00:47:00See you later.
00:47:13Hey, ha ha.
00:47:13You're embarrassed.
00:47:15You're embarrassed.
00:47:18Have fun.
00:47:19Bye.
00:47:19Bye.
00:47:23Bye.
00:47:26Bye.
00:47:27Bye.
00:47:27Bye.
00:47:27Bye.
00:47:28Bye.
00:47:29Bye.
00:47:29We're walking down the steps, Julie.
00:47:58We're almost at the bottom.
00:47:59There's the sand and the sea.
00:48:06You like the sea.
00:48:08You want to walk across the sand and go in.
00:48:13I'm going to take your hand and we'll walk across the beach together.
00:48:24There.
00:48:27How is the sand?
00:48:28Beautiful.
00:48:31You feel very warm.
00:48:35You want...
00:48:41Why don't you take off your blouse?
00:48:47Your eyelids are very heavy.
00:48:48You can't keep them open.
00:48:50There's no stress here.
00:48:53Not in this place.
00:48:57How do you feel?
00:49:00You need a lesson in anatomy, Mr Dewar.
00:49:02My mind is up here.
00:49:04But my mind is up here.
00:49:32To the game on Saturday.
00:49:43No.
00:49:43I'll give it to you.
00:49:44There's something on the bell, Johnny.
00:49:50Jesus.
00:49:51Stop the bell.
00:49:51What do you do on weekends?
00:50:01I'm just going to spend them quietly, reading, watching the telly.
00:50:06I've got a friend in Maryhill.
00:50:08I sometimes take her wee girl out.
00:50:11I'll probably be down your way.
00:50:13No, I.
00:50:15Have you enjoyed your first week, then?
00:50:18Great.
00:50:19No tonny vegetarian.
00:50:23Who cooks for you at home?
00:50:26What do you mean?
00:50:27It's just...
00:50:29Jessie told me.
00:50:31Jessie told you what?
00:50:33About your wife.
00:50:36Did she?
00:50:37How long's she been...
00:50:38Look, I don't want to talk about it.
00:50:41Okay?
00:50:57How long before that cool started?
00:50:59Nearly tomorrow morning.
00:51:01It's been morning since eight o'clock.
00:51:02Are you sure about what you saw?
00:51:04I'm sure.
00:51:05Was it wrapped up in anything?
00:51:07Did it seem to be?
00:51:08Could have become loose when the bulldozer picked it up.
00:51:10It's buttoned, yeah.
00:51:12Shouldn't have reduced the clinker yet, though.
00:51:15Go and ask the gaffer if you can remember which truck brought that load in.
00:51:21Looks like I can take a rest of tomorrow morning, then.
00:51:26Listen, I'm sorry I brought you out.
00:51:27That's all right.
00:51:29Nothing can pay for the test facing the boys if there is a head in there.
00:51:38What's her name?
00:52:00Brock.
00:52:02She rolled in some mud.
00:52:06Do you like horses?
00:52:07The last time I rode a horse, it was a Coleman's horse.
00:52:12An Irish hunter.
00:52:13Oh, you know something about them.
00:52:15They asked me to find Shergar, but I was too busy.
00:52:20I've got all the information you wanted.
00:52:22I hope it's helpful.
00:52:24I'm sure it will be.
00:52:24Caroline, will you take Brock in for me, please?
00:52:28Sure.
00:52:32She's my neighbour's daughter.
00:52:34She wants to be a show jumper.
00:52:36You jump yourself.
00:52:37Not competitively.
00:52:39It's nice to have the time.
00:52:41I make time.
00:52:42I don't believe in letting work rule my life.
00:52:45It's a good maxim.
00:52:46Is that the list you want?
00:52:48Not really.
00:52:50I'd be happier if the rug was sold by a dozen specialist shops,
00:52:53not 250 High Street stores.
00:52:56And that's just in Strathclyde.
00:52:58And you've been making that rug for how long?
00:53:00Five years or so.
00:53:05Oh, and here's the other list you wanted.
00:53:07Current employees.
00:53:08I'm afraid I'm going to need another one.
00:53:12Ex-employees going back the five years.
00:53:15It'll be a long list.
00:53:17I'm not easy to work for.
00:53:19They say that about me.
00:53:22Do you seriously think he's an employee?
00:53:25No.
00:53:26Not really.
00:53:27It's just in a case like this,
00:53:29you follow up every lead,
00:53:30no matter how remote.
00:53:32We'll just be discreet, that's all.
00:53:37What does your husband do?
00:53:39We're divorced.
00:53:41How long?
00:53:43Ten years now.
00:53:45Perhaps you were too independent for him.
00:53:47Perhaps.
00:53:50Any other information you require?
00:53:54No.
00:53:55Not for the moment.
00:53:56No.
00:54:01No.
00:54:02No.
00:54:02No.
00:54:03No.
00:54:04No.
00:54:04No.
00:54:06No.
00:54:09You're late?
00:54:27Aye.
00:54:27Had to see somebody first.
00:54:30Got your vodka?
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:34Anything happened?
00:54:36No.
00:54:39The fella drove up my motorbike last night.
00:54:49It just started me thinking about him again.
00:54:54Are you sleeping, Bertha?
00:54:56Yeah, I'm getting out as much as possible.
00:54:58That's what you told me to do.
00:54:59Aye, right.
00:55:01No use sitting about moping.
00:55:03Get out and enjoy yourself.
00:55:04Well, that's what I've been doing.
00:55:05I was in Amsterdam last night.
00:55:09Huh?
00:55:10We took this young engineer down the Red Lake District.
00:55:15Know my cup of tea.
00:55:16What exactly are you looking for?
00:55:42A pay rise.
00:55:46You be here on Sunday?
00:55:49Yes.
00:55:50Oh, that's good.
00:55:51Sir Fraser's going to be in the morning.
00:55:52There'll be a few mad bodies coming in for you.
00:55:57His will be in one of them.
00:55:59Want a drink?
00:56:06Take a seat, Miss...
00:56:07Judy.
00:56:07Judy.
00:56:09Judy.
00:56:12Do you always work this late?
00:56:14Do you?
00:56:15You've been a hard man to get hold of.
00:56:16What do you want?
00:56:18It's about a man called Alec Dewar.
00:56:22What about him?
00:56:24I understand he might be involved in this torso murder.
00:56:28Where did you get that?
00:56:29Angus Robinson.
00:56:31His wife is missing.
00:56:32Now you know better than...
00:56:33I'm not here about the murder.
00:56:36I'm planning to do a piece for the Sunday Herald on Mr Dewar.
00:56:39I just wanted to check that I'm not on sensitive ground.
00:56:42Very considerate of you.
00:56:45Yes.
00:56:46So is he involved?
00:56:49We've questioned Mr Dewar,
00:56:50and I'm satisfied he has nothing to do with this inquiry.
00:56:54Good.
00:56:55What's your piece about?
00:57:00It's an expose of his practices.
00:57:03I see they haven't escaped you.
00:57:05I hope you've got evidence.
00:57:07I've been on his trail for some time.
00:57:11Good night.
00:57:12Good night.
00:57:13Judy.
00:57:14Judy.
00:57:20Who's that?
00:57:21Reporter.
00:57:22You smell.
00:57:25Disinfectant.
00:57:26Had a nice evening, have you?
00:57:28Busy.
00:57:29I saw the remains of the severed head.
00:57:32How's the search going?
00:57:33We'll work you under the outlights now.
00:57:36That should heat it up.
00:57:37Then you'll really pong.
00:57:39You are coming out there.
00:57:41There are other lines to this inquiry.
00:57:45I saw Mrs Cameron.
00:57:46She's divorced, you know.
00:57:48She would be.
00:57:49I hear me dead.
00:57:51George, it's Scott.
00:57:56Don't phone and don't come round.
00:58:07Can I give you a hand?
00:58:13What are you doing here?
00:58:14I told you I might look in.
00:58:17Look, I'm really, er...
00:58:18I'm really busy right now.
00:58:20Garden rubbish.
00:58:22Let me help you.
00:58:22No, no, no.
00:58:23It's fine.
00:58:25I'm married to myself.
00:58:30How did you find out where I lived?
00:58:32Ask Jesse.
00:58:34I wanted to know if you'd like to come round for your dinner tomorrow.
00:58:38I'm not sure.
00:58:41You said all you do is read and watch television.
00:58:44Well, I read and watch television too.
00:58:46I thought we might as well do it together.
00:58:50Look, I'm in a bit of a hurry.
00:58:51I've got to go and dump this rubbish.
00:58:52I'll come with you.
00:58:53No.
00:58:54No, I've got to go on somewhere else afterwards.
00:58:57Um, look, why don't you come round here tomorrow sometime?
00:59:01You'll have your dinner here.
00:59:02All right?
00:59:03I'll bring it, OK?
00:59:05All right, fine.
00:59:08I'm not entirely helpless, you know?
00:59:21He won't be a minute.
00:59:23Still in bed, is he?
00:59:24Yeah, he's having a lie in.
00:59:25Do you want a coffee?
00:59:29Been celebrating, has he?
00:59:31Must have been.
00:59:33Do you live here?
00:59:34I'm in Diggs here.
00:59:35Where did you meet him?
00:59:37At Havana Joe's.
00:59:38Disco.
00:59:39I'm drummer with the rivals.
00:59:42Good afternoon.
00:59:44You must think I spent my life in bed.
00:59:48We're still searching for Mrs Robinson.
00:59:51Look, I've told you,
00:59:52I, I don't know anything more about her.
00:59:56Was she just a patient, Mr Dewar?
00:59:58Or did you try and get on friendlier terms?
01:00:01What do you think I had?
01:00:03Did you hypnotise her?
01:00:04Yes.
01:00:04Make a recording?
01:00:05No.
01:00:06Usual procedure, isn't it?
01:00:07Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
01:00:09In Mrs Robinson's case, I didn't.
01:00:10I am reliably informed
01:00:14that not all your consultations
01:00:17are conducted, er,
01:00:19well, professionally.
01:00:22Well, that's a damn lie.
01:00:24Who's been spreading this rubbish?
01:00:25Never mind who's been spreading it.
01:00:26I have a right to know.
01:00:27And I have a right to know
01:00:28everything Mrs Robinson said.
01:00:30Depression, family life,
01:00:32sexual problems, everything.
01:00:33I have a right to know.
01:01:03So...
01:01:23I have...
01:01:24I don't know.
01:01:54Good morning.
01:02:12Good morning.
01:02:24Good morning.
01:02:54Good morning.
01:02:56I can smell it from here.
01:02:59There's an overall in the market.
01:03:01I think I'll leave you in charge of this, Peter.
01:03:03Good experience for you.
01:03:06I'll take a cup of tea, though.
01:03:11I hear you've been working beside rats.
01:03:15I'm used to it.
01:03:17I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
01:03:20There's something I ought to tell you.
01:03:23There's another missing person.
01:03:25Kenny Forfa's wife.
01:03:26She walked out on him a week ago last Friday.
01:03:29When did you hear about this?
01:03:31A few days ago.
01:03:32A few days ago?
01:03:33He was embarrassed about the guys finding out.
01:03:35That's why he didn't want it made official.
01:03:38And don't let on I...
01:03:39Kenny.
01:03:40Yes, sir.
01:03:41I want you back at headquarters with me.
01:03:42Now.
01:03:43I want you back at headquarters with me.
01:03:44Now.
01:03:45Yes, sir.
01:03:46I want you back at headquarters with me.
01:03:47Now.
01:03:48I want you back at headquarters with me.
01:03:49Now.
01:03:50You're here.
01:03:51I want you back.
01:03:52This is chicken.
01:03:53I want you back.
01:03:55I'm back.
01:03:56I'm back.
01:03:57I'm back.
01:03:59You're back.
01:04:01I'm back.
01:04:02I'll find my friends.
01:04:03I'll find my friends.
