00:00:00There you are.
00:00:09Thanks.
00:00:14Well, cheers.
00:00:17Cheers.
00:00:23I'm sorry I held on to your letter so long.
00:00:26Yes.
00:00:27I'd almost forgotten I'd written it.
00:00:30Have you replied to many?
00:00:31No, only yours.
00:00:33Because you said you wanted to meet a professional man between 40 and 50.
00:00:36I've met six.
00:00:38Four of them turned out to be married.
00:00:41I hope you're not.
00:00:42No, of course not.
00:00:44You must tell me about dentistry.
00:00:46I've never been out with a dentist before.
00:00:49Or a Scorpio.
00:00:51I mean, what on earth makes a man want to be a dentist?
00:00:57Oh, I don't know.
00:00:58It's just, um, something I got into.
00:01:01I hate teeth.
00:01:03It must be the thought of spending every day looking at other people.
00:01:06A doctor's different.
00:01:08He deals with all different problems.
00:01:11But teeth?
00:01:12There can't be that many different things that happen to them.
00:01:15Oh, I don't know.
00:01:17There's quite a few.
00:01:19I met this barrister from London once.
00:01:21He was a Gemini.
00:01:23He had the most fantastic teeth I've ever seen.
00:01:26And they were his own.
00:01:29He used to say the charm juries.
00:01:32I suppose he was right.
00:01:34But if I was in the jury in a murder trial and I thought the bloke was guilty,
00:01:38I wouldn't be swayed by a pair of teeth, would you?
00:01:40Something wrong?
00:01:43No, no, no, no.
00:01:44I'm sorry.
00:01:45It's amazing what some middle-aged men will tell you just to impress.
00:01:50I'm a bit long of a tooth now.
00:01:52Oh, funny how we keep getting back to teeth, isn't it?
00:01:54No.
00:01:59Well, I'm doing all the talking.
00:02:02You must tell me something about yourself, other than the fact that you're a dentist.
00:02:05I'm sorry.
00:02:10I've got to go.
00:02:12I've made a mistake.
00:02:13I really am most dreadfully sorry.
00:02:16Please forgive me.
00:02:27Well, seven was never my lucky number, Father.
00:02:31How much have you spent tonight?
00:02:50I had a few with Ross McPhee.
00:02:54Remember Ross McPhee?
00:02:55Jim Taggart was here, asking questions.
00:03:02What about?
00:03:04You.
00:03:06And some private detective who's been murdered.
00:03:09Oh, my God.
00:03:32I will put anything.
00:03:33I will put anything.
00:03:34I don't know.
00:04:04I don't know.
00:04:34I don't know.
00:05:04I don't know.
00:05:14Lou.
00:05:16I want you to get out to that commune.
00:05:19I'm convinced somebody out there knows about that girl.
00:05:23I thought they didn't like the police.
00:05:24They don't.
00:05:25That's why you're not going as one.
00:05:27You mean live there?
00:05:28Right.
00:05:36Right.
00:05:37Come on in, darling.
00:05:38It's your dance next.
00:05:38I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
00:05:43I'll know for you a minute.
00:05:50What do you want?
00:05:51Look at this.
00:05:52Papers are always after a sensation.
00:05:58I don't know the half here.
00:05:59I wish I did.
00:06:00He was tricky.
00:06:01What are you talking about?
00:06:02Dad.
00:06:03When we were kids, he used to do magic tricks and stuff.
00:06:07He once told us that he had the power to raise himself for the dead and things like that.
00:06:11You know, voodoo nonsense.
00:06:12It wasn't nonsense.
00:06:14Well, that's why I'm not surprised if he was still up to his tricks even now.
00:06:18Don't listen to him.
00:06:19I wish I had hardened.
00:06:39Oh, Jim.
00:06:40Oh, listen, did you get any prints off that razor?
00:06:44Yes.
00:06:46Abernathy's.
00:06:47Derek Abernathy's.
00:06:48I just left him.
00:06:49Not his.
00:06:50His father's.
00:06:59Worker's handed out on an ad hoc basis.
00:07:02What are you good at?
00:07:03I've done tattie-hawking.
00:07:04Potato-picking.
00:07:05Yeah, I know what it is.
00:07:06So how much do you pay?
00:07:08We don't pay anything.
00:07:10You pay us.
00:07:12Twenty-five a week.
00:07:13After three months, if the rest of the commune like you, you're invited to join.
00:07:28What kind of work goes on in here?
00:07:31No kind of work.
00:07:32This is where you'll be living.
00:07:33Well, I'll let you get settled in, then I'll introduce you to the others.
00:07:37Okay?
00:07:38Bye.
00:07:39A young detective already brought me this.
00:07:55I know.
00:07:56I'm just double-checking.
00:07:58You see, with a lack of prints, the only way we could identify Abernathy was by that pin you put in his leg.
00:08:04The zickle?
00:08:05Yes.
00:08:07We want to be absolutely sure that the identification is correct.
00:08:10I see.
00:08:11Now, I believe you've performed six operations using that length of zickle.
00:08:20Yes.
00:08:21Well, ma'am, we've traced five of them, but the one that's missing is our man Abernathy.
00:08:28Now, can you compare that photograph with his original x-ray?
00:08:32I'm afraid all six x-rays have been destroyed.
00:08:35Destroyed?
00:08:35Yes.
00:08:37Hospital policy, after five years.
00:08:39Wait a minute.
00:08:40You performed that operation under four years ago.
00:08:43Did I?
00:08:44Ah, yes, sir, I did.
00:08:46Well, Abernathy's must be missing.
00:08:48Missing?
00:08:49This is a hospital.
00:08:51Things do go missing or get accidentally destroyed from time to time.
00:08:55Really?
00:08:56As much as they do in a police station, I imagine.
00:09:00Burn!
00:09:00Don't put your hands in Mike's car.
00:09:31Oh, I'm sorry about that.
00:09:33That's okay.
00:09:34Where are you from?
00:09:36Paisley.
00:09:37Roger and I met in Paisley.
00:09:39He was over here tracing his ancestors.
00:09:41Have you started this place?
00:09:42With four others.
00:09:44They've since gone.
00:09:46Hey, chug me.
00:09:46It's made from our own mums.
00:09:48Thanks.
00:09:48Are you sure it's Abernathy we buried?
00:10:08Yes, sir.
00:10:10The razor with the prints on it was planted.
00:10:13How were you and Jarden getting on, by the way?
00:10:15Oh, sir, me and him get on like two doubles in an octave.
00:10:19I'm sorry.
00:10:25Oi, Tommy.
00:10:27Tommy.
00:10:29What's up?
00:10:30I'm not into him with that.
00:10:39Can you write it?
00:10:40Write it down.
00:10:40No, he's not here.
00:10:51Come on upstairs with me.
00:10:52We'll talk.
00:10:56Well, do you want a wee walk?
00:11:00You say you saw Abernathy and Connolly talking in a pub.
00:11:14And they were talking about being paid to commit a murder.
00:11:18Whose murder?
00:11:22Tony, did you ever hear about the boy that cried wolf?
00:11:27And when he told the truth, nobody believed him.
00:11:30No, there are no wolves in Glasgow.
00:11:45Listen, you also said that you were talking about ripping off the person who paid them for every penny that they had.
00:11:56Now, Tommy, did you read this in a book or is it the truth?
00:12:03Come on.
00:12:04Come on.
00:12:05I'll take you home.
00:12:07Where have you been?
00:12:09I told you I wanted you to go messages.
00:12:19And what have I told you about taking lifts from strangers?
00:12:35I'm not a stranger, Mrs Campbell.
00:12:37I'm a police.
00:12:39What's he been up to?
00:12:41Nothing.
00:12:42Just helping us with an inquiry.
00:12:44Inquiry?
00:12:45Listen, I hope you haven't been wasting your time listening to him.
00:12:48He doesnae know the difference between truth and fiction.
00:12:50Go on, inside.
00:12:51I'll give you inquiry.
00:12:55Good morning.
00:12:56I'm Ian.
00:12:57We've got to get some logs for the fire.
00:13:00Newcomers always get the worst accommodation.
00:13:01Shows their integrity.
00:13:07Have you been here long?
00:13:08Oh, I've been here a year and a half.
00:13:09I've got one night.
00:13:10I've been here long.
00:13:11Oh, about a year and a half.
00:13:12We've got to get some logs for the fire.
00:13:18Newcomers always get the worst accommodation.
00:13:20Shows their integrity.
00:13:34Been here long?
00:13:35About a year and a half.
00:13:37I've got one of the caravans.
00:13:39Listen, if you want a paraffin stove, I've got a spare.
00:13:42Cheers.
00:13:42I, uh, hear Roger and Mary have a daughter who's run away.
00:13:49Uh, yeah.
00:13:51Listen, that should be enough.
00:13:53Come on, let's go.
00:14:01Didn't you like it here?
00:14:03I never really knew her.
00:14:09Sometimes vital things can get missed.
00:14:11I know.
00:14:13I'm starting to force.
00:14:14The police have spoken to all our friends.
00:14:17Circulated a picture.
00:14:18Well, I'd just like to add my help.
00:14:20No charge.
00:14:22In fact, I'd like to start by questioning everyone here.
00:14:24There's no point.
00:14:25No one here knows anything.
00:14:27We're like one family.
00:14:29Mrs. Friedman, sometimes families can bear the worst secrets.
00:14:37We're having a kelly tomorrow.
00:14:3916 years of the commune.
00:14:4016 years of the commune.
00:14:41You're welcome to Cardinal.
00:14:43I'd like that.
00:14:44I'd like that very much.
00:14:49In fact, uh, gives me a good opportunity.
00:14:52I'm glad you like Vivaldi.
00:14:56He relaxes me.
00:14:59I play him in traffic jams.
00:15:01When did you take up hairdressing?
00:15:04Oh, about eight years ago now.
00:15:07I used to be a quarryman.
00:15:09Hearts Hill Quarry.
00:15:10What?
00:15:11Like my father before me.
00:15:12I know, quite a change of direction.
00:15:17I think I did it just to get back at him.
00:15:18Why?
00:15:20Because I hated him.
00:15:21He never thought that hairdressing was terribly masculine.
00:15:25In fact, he never spoke to me
00:15:27till the day I opened my own salon in Car Look.
00:15:29Oh, what happened to it?
00:15:32Went bust.
00:15:33Unemployment in the area.
00:15:34No money about.
00:15:36So,
00:15:37I came to Glasgow.
00:15:42Your book
00:15:48On Sex and the Disabled.
00:15:50Did you write this from experience?
00:15:52Other people's.
00:15:55Must have taken a lot of nerve.
00:16:00Oh, hello.
00:16:01You're home early.
00:16:03Malcolm, this is...
00:16:04Yes.
00:16:05Hello again.
00:16:07Hmm.
00:16:08Malcolm's going to be doing my hair regularly from now on.
00:16:11Well, what, I'm to the girl that used to do it.
00:16:14She emigrated.
00:16:15I don't like it.
00:16:34How often is regular?
00:16:36Once a week.
00:16:37I'm taking him to the Henrywood Hall on Thursday
00:16:41to hear a Vivaldi concert.
00:16:45Is that his fee?
00:16:46No, we have just the same tastes.
00:16:51You know, that fella could be connected with this crime.
00:16:54Is he a suspect?
00:16:55No, but I'm just...
00:16:56Is he a suspect?
00:16:56No.
00:16:58But suppose Davidson hired Abernathy
00:17:01to check up on him and Maggie.
00:17:03Maggie?
00:17:04Is that so extraordinary?
00:17:06She's arthritic,
00:17:07in pain,
00:17:08and she's very lucky to be alive
00:17:10after having nearly killed herself three times.
00:17:13You're nuts.
00:17:15And I think jealous.
00:17:18Three times?
00:17:19What are you doing here?
00:17:26Listening, Mrs Davidson.
00:17:28Why do you keep following me around?
00:17:30Why can't you leave me alone?
00:17:31I'm not following you.
00:17:32All of you, the police, everyone.
00:17:34They were here, you know, asking questions.
00:17:36Not through anything I told them.
00:17:37I don't believe you.
00:17:39I should have gone to Father Donovan.
00:17:41He would have listened, given me absolution.
00:17:43He wouldn't have been round here, prying.
00:17:44There is more to confession than sharing guilt, man.
00:17:47You know that.
00:17:47Just leave me alone.
00:17:51This was on the step.
00:17:52It's for you.
00:18:17This was on the step.
00:18:18This was on the step.
00:18:19This was on the step.
00:18:20This was on the step.
00:18:21This was on the step.
00:18:22This was on the step.
00:18:23This was on the step.
00:18:24This was on the step.
00:18:25This was on the step.
00:18:26This was on the step.
00:18:27This was on the step.
00:18:28This was on the step.
00:18:29This was on the step.
00:18:30This was on the step.
00:18:31This was on the step.
00:18:32This was on the step.
00:18:33This was on the step.
00:18:34This was on the step.
00:18:35This was on the step.
00:18:36This was on the step.
00:18:37This was on the step.
00:18:38This was on the step.
00:18:39This was on the step.
00:18:40This was on the step.
00:18:41This was on the step.
00:18:42This was on the step.
00:18:43This was on the step.
00:19:44Someone left it on the doorstep for me.
00:19:47Like I say, it's some sort of sick joke.
00:19:51Excuse me, I'm late for such a...
00:19:54I'll follow you in my car if we can talk about it there.
00:19:59Why are you here?
00:20:07Got your likeness.
00:20:13Kids, probably.
00:20:15You know how cruel they can be.
00:20:18Jean, we've seen you've had a rough time lately.
00:20:20Heater's falling on you, nearly blowing yourself up.
00:20:23Don't you start.
00:20:25All this fussing about me, I'm okay.
00:20:29Um, could I look in the bathroom?
00:20:32Don't the police have more important things to do?
00:20:35It's up the stairs in the corner on the landing.
00:20:36It's up the stairs in the corner.
00:20:38The
00:20:53I don't know.
00:21:23Hey. Come on.
00:21:36It's two weeks. She could be dead. Anything could have happened to her.
00:21:41She's just run away. It's her way of rebelling. We rebelled, remember?
00:21:48We were adults.
00:21:50We hated our parents for what they stood for. She'll be back.
00:21:54Just as soon as she realizes things aren't so great outside.
00:21:58Are we right?
00:22:00What do you mean?
00:22:01You know how they see us, don't you? Like gypsies.
00:22:04How can you pass on your ideals to them?
00:22:09Can you tell me where I can find Father Martin, please?
00:22:37I'm Father Martin.
00:22:39You seem to be very popular.
00:22:42Never had such good congregations.
00:22:44Detective Chief Inspector Tiger.
00:22:47I, uh...
00:22:48I believe you visited the Davidsons last night. There was a parcel.
00:22:53Yeah. On the front doorstep.
00:22:55Why?
00:22:56Oh, it's just some sort of nasty joke somebody's playing on them.
00:23:00Did you notice the blood?
00:23:02Blood?
00:23:03Well, the wrapping paper was bloodstained.
00:23:05No.
00:23:06What was the joke?
00:23:09Father, um...
00:23:11What are your church's views on voodoo, black magic, that kind of thing?
00:23:16Would you like a three-yard diatribe here or inside?
00:23:19No.
00:23:20We'll leave it here another day.
00:23:23Your visit to the Davidsons. Was it purely social?
00:23:26Yeah.
00:23:28What did Mr. Davidsons talk about?
00:23:30I'm afraid I can't tell you that. I think you know why.
00:23:34This blood...
00:23:36Was it human?
00:23:37No, no, it was animal.
00:23:39Her laboratory thinks it was a hen. Something like that.
00:23:41This is the 14th Communal.
00:24:11I've lived there.
00:24:14Even they remember the 60s.
00:24:18They were different, eh?
00:24:20Well, for this lot, I've got bloody gas, sir.
00:24:22That so?
00:24:24This summer, you can have a holiday here.
00:24:27150 quid living in a real commune.
00:24:29Ah, crap.
00:24:30Maybe you've got to move with the times.
00:24:36Hello.
00:24:37Hi.
00:24:38I have something to eat.
00:24:39Oh, thanks.
00:24:41Look, um, I don't want to spoil the fun, but, um, with your permission, I'd like to make an announcement.
00:24:50Please, uh, go ahead.
00:24:55Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:24:56Um, do you mind if I have a word?
00:25:00My name's Kenny Forthford.
00:25:02I'm a private investigator.
00:25:04So this is what our money's been spent on now.
00:25:06I'm charging nothing.
00:25:07Now, my partner, Mr. Abernathy, spoke to you all about, uh, Mr. and Mrs. Friedman's daughter, Shona.
00:25:14Now, I know some of you are reluctant to talk to the police.
00:25:17I don't blame you.
00:25:18I don't trust the police either.
00:25:21I just want to say that, uh, if anyone here knows something, anything, about where she is,
00:25:27then you can talk to me in confidence.
00:25:29And I mean total confidence.
00:25:33Now, I've got some cards here.
00:25:35I'd like you all to take one.
00:25:36What about my patients?
00:25:49I've got patients to attend to.
00:25:51They'll just have to wait, won't they?
00:26:06Did you mean what you said back there?
00:26:17No.
00:26:18You've got to promise me one thing, that she never finds out I've told you.
00:26:22Where is she?
00:26:22I told all this to Abernathy.
00:26:24What he could persuade her.
00:26:26She's with her real father.
00:26:29Somehow she found him.
00:26:30Oh, she's only 15.
00:26:33I don't know.
00:26:34She says I made her pregnant.
00:26:35She threatened to tell about us.
00:26:39She says I raped her.
00:26:41She's a good liar.
00:26:43She ran away once before.
00:26:45A couple of days.
00:26:47She used to boast that she could get men to...
00:26:50to pay her.
00:26:52Was she lying about that as well?
00:26:54She could never tell by Shona.
00:26:57Hey, listen, I've got to go.
00:26:58Hey.
00:27:00Whatever you do,
00:27:02don't say anything to the new guy.
00:27:03He's a cop.
00:27:20Why am I here?
00:27:22I've got my patients to see.
00:27:23Where's Ian?
00:27:37He left.
00:27:39Why so suddenly?
00:27:40Perhaps because he discovered you were a policeman.
00:27:47Hey!
00:27:47What's the new guy?
00:28:12Hey!
00:28:12Hey!
00:28:12Move that.
00:28:25What are you lot doing here?
00:28:26Move it.
00:28:27I'm Detective Sergeant Jardin, Strathclyde Police.
00:28:30And I'm Sherlock Holmes.
00:28:32Listen, I can explain.
00:28:34We've reason to believe you may be in possession of a controlled drug
00:28:37and intend to detain you under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971
00:28:41for purposes of search.
00:28:43Will you contact Chief Inspector Taggart?
00:28:47I'm a detective!
00:28:50Look, I haven't got my ID.
00:28:52You've got to believe me.
00:28:53Really?
00:28:54This is what the Strathclyde Police are driving these days, is it?
00:28:58Aye.
00:28:59And some of us get to handle all this shit.
00:29:01Well, Colin, what about it?
00:29:05It'll be a lot easier.
00:29:08It's not true, Jim.
00:29:11She was a burden to you, is that it?
00:29:14It's not true.
00:29:15Kill Maggie and you'd be three.
00:29:18It's not true.
00:29:20Colin, my wife is in a wheelchair.
00:29:23But I'd never stoop to anything like that.
00:29:26I mean, you didn't even have to be there, did you?
00:29:29It's not true, Jim.
00:29:31It's not true.
00:29:36Abernathy and Connolly.
00:29:38The private detective and the gravedigger.
00:29:41I wonder where they come in.
00:29:43Not true.
00:29:44A gravedigger with a lot of money to spend.
00:29:47Two thousand pounds, I hear.
00:29:50I wonder who paid them and for what.
00:29:53It's not true.
00:29:54And your card and the private detective flat.
00:29:56But I wonder how it'd go there.
00:29:59It's not true.
00:30:07Colin, you've heard the story of Robert the Bruce and the Spider.
00:30:12Two nades prepared to commit murder for money.
00:30:15Did you ask them before or after you tried to kill Maggie yourself?
00:30:19It's not true.
00:30:20It is true, Colin.
00:30:23What, Abe?
00:30:25Blackmail.
00:30:27Too many people in the know.
00:30:29Not true.
00:30:30No.
00:30:30I'm going to look into your financial affairs, Colin.
00:30:43I'll be back.
00:30:44What are you doing here?
00:31:01I work here.
00:31:02I think.
00:31:03Well, it doesn't matter.
00:31:05I was going to tell you to come back anyway.
00:31:06You saw who killed Pat Connery in the cemetery.
00:31:19Chief witness?
00:31:22But they don't be arrested anybody who is.
00:31:24How can you be a chief witness?
00:31:25Chief Duke.
00:31:26I think I'm going to study, pal.
00:31:28I'm just happy.
00:31:30Hey, who was it then?
00:31:33Grandpa Blue.
00:31:34See, the chief's likely deaf and dumb, eh?
00:31:38I'll be deaf.
00:31:40He'll be dumb.
00:31:42Hey, I've got a pint in there for the chief witness.
00:31:44Hey.
00:32:04Oh, my God.
00:32:17No more questions.
00:32:18We can go.
00:32:22Look, Jim.
00:32:23You can go for now.
00:32:28I'm going to prove this.
00:32:30You know it, and I know it.
00:32:54Here's your hairdresser, toy boy.
00:32:56His name's Malcolm.
00:32:57He's very cultured and very talented.
00:33:00For what?
00:33:01If that's meant to be an attack on his masculinity,
00:33:04let me assure you that he's oh so straight.
00:33:07Enjoy the concert.
00:33:13By the way, Jean.
00:33:14Yes?
00:33:15I don't mean to spoil your evening,
00:33:17but Colin Davison is trying to murder Mikey.
00:33:20A group of ten-year-olds designed it.
00:33:33Do you like it?
00:33:41You must hear my confession, Father.
00:33:43It's true.
00:33:56I'm guilty.
00:34:01Just tell me
00:34:02why the police think you're involved.
00:34:05I can't.
00:34:07We've never had any secrets.
00:34:09Maggie.
00:34:10Maggie, when...
00:34:13There was a phone call.
00:34:16An emergency.
00:34:18Mr. Scobie.
00:34:20An abscess.
00:34:21Can you see him this afternoon?
00:34:23I said I'd ring him when you were on your way.
00:34:26Look, Maggie, when I get back,
00:34:29maybe we could go away somewhere for a day or two, eh?
00:34:32That would be nice.
00:34:34I'll ring him now, then.
00:34:36Yeah.
00:34:37Tell him I'll be there in 20 minutes.
00:34:39Thank you so much.
00:36:39Come on.
00:36:41What's going on?
00:36:42He's in there.
00:36:43He's been in a bit of an hour.
00:36:45Abernathy phoned me at the station.
00:36:47He wants me to meet him here.
00:36:49Derek Abernathy?
00:36:50Why?
00:36:50Come on.
00:36:51Come on.
00:36:51Why did you give up for length?
00:37:14The use of your eyes.
00:37:27Good night.
00:37:28Good night.
00:37:30Good night.
00:37:31Good night.
00:37:32Good night.
00:37:33Have a nice one.
00:37:33Cheers.
00:37:38Hello.
00:37:40Closing out for Easter.
00:37:42Hi.
00:37:42Is that news about Dad?
00:37:43A certain dentist was closing up today as well.
00:37:47Dentist?
00:37:50Mr. Abernathy rang through a message for me at one o'clock this afternoon.
00:37:55I assumed it was you.
00:37:56Why?
00:37:58Where were you today between twelve o'clock and one o'clock?
00:38:01Jogging.
00:38:01Queen's parking back.
00:38:02Are you sure it was a Mr. Abernathy?
00:38:05No.
00:38:07What's this dentist got to do with it?
00:38:10Well, it's just that he was murdered.
00:38:13Another one.
00:38:15Oh, my God.
00:38:21I want you to be certain.
00:38:23You wipe the phone before you left.
00:38:25I wipe both phones every night before I go home.
00:38:28You wipe them this lunchtime?
00:38:29Yes.
00:38:30Thoroughly?
00:38:31Very thoroughly.
00:38:33And I told him about those fish.
00:38:36Thanks, Miss McQueen.
00:38:37That's all for now.
00:38:38The place for them was in reception.
00:38:41Hygiene, you know.
00:38:48There are flints all over it.
00:38:51It was stupid using this phone to call the station for me.
00:38:56Word had it your performance wasn't all that great either.
00:38:59We established he was already waiting inside.
00:39:02He broke out through the back.
00:39:08Weird-looking object.
00:39:11Looks like something that might have come from Abernathy's flat.
00:39:14Well, this might have a wall.
00:39:25Listen, it's all for us.
00:39:28You came to be right behind you.
00:39:29Maybe you came to be right behind me.
00:39:30Sure.
00:39:30izza.
00:40:01I hear you can supply me with something.
00:40:04Right.
00:40:08I'll be 20 quid first.
00:40:13You're a bit young to be a pimp, don't you know?
00:40:18Just give it a head, turn left.
00:40:31The club was Abernathy's.
00:40:40Positively identified by Hansel and Gretel in the knicker factory.
00:40:44Well, that's Abernathy.
00:40:46And that's definitely Shona Friedman.
00:40:49So he finally traced her for his own ends.
00:40:52Wonder how many more he had.
00:40:54How did Davidson come by them?
00:40:56It was simple.
00:40:57They were planted.
00:40:59Like the razor in the cemetery.
00:41:01Like this club.
00:41:04We were meant to think that Abernathy was still alive.
00:41:06That he had a motive.
00:41:07It's an old tenement.
00:41:14Look out the window.
00:41:15It's blurred.
00:41:15But could that be the approach to the Kingston Bridge?
00:41:18Here's the end of your key.
00:41:32You won't like this.
00:41:34One little bit.
00:41:37Neither do I.
00:41:40The prints on the club and the telephone are Abernathy's, the father.
00:41:44That's impossible.
00:41:46The phone was wiped.
00:41:46They are Douglas Abernathy's.
00:41:52Come back to haunt us.
00:42:09You're not exactly upmarket, are you?
00:42:11It's up here.
00:42:14Half an hour.
00:42:32Okay.
00:42:32Okay.
00:42:44I found your real father.
00:42:50A proper home.
00:42:52Jesus.
00:42:54You didn't know when you were well off.
00:42:58I'm taking you home.
00:42:59No!
00:42:59No!
00:42:59No!
00:43:00No!
00:43:00No!
00:43:00No!
00:43:02No!
00:43:02No!
00:43:02No!
00:43:02No!
00:43:03No!
00:43:03No!
00:43:04No!
00:43:04No!
00:43:05No!
00:43:06No!
00:43:07No!
00:43:08No!
00:43:09No!
00:43:10No!
00:43:11No!
00:43:12No!
00:43:13No!
00:43:14No!
00:43:15No!
00:43:16You're coming with me!
00:43:18Let me go!
00:43:18No!
00:43:18Get him.
00:43:23No, no.
00:43:25You're coming with me.
00:43:26Let me go.
00:43:36Let me go.
00:43:38Shut up.
00:43:38Let me go.
00:43:40No.
00:43:43Hey, just a minute.
00:43:44You've got the wrong idea here.
00:43:45Let me go.
00:43:46Picking kids, would you?
00:43:47Would you tell this clown who I am?
00:43:52We've never seen him before.
00:43:54Oh, come on, I found her, you bastards.
00:43:56Five witnesses to what you were doing in this room.
00:44:00He can't do that.
00:44:02Come on.
00:44:04Look, I found her.
00:44:06I was trying to take her home.
00:44:08Let me go.
00:44:09I used to be one of you.
00:44:14That wasn't a very Christian thing to do.
00:44:17We'll string him along for an hour, eh?
00:44:19I shall start.
00:44:22Still doesn't solve the problem of Abernathy's prints.
00:44:26Maybe it's time we exhumed his body.
00:44:28Just to double-check it's him.
00:44:30But we got all the information from his corpse.
00:44:32No, we didn't.
00:44:37We didn't.
00:44:51Hello, Mum.
00:44:52Did I break a law?
00:45:17I'm sorry.
00:45:17He was going to take me away.
00:45:27For so long, he hasn't.
00:45:33Why?
00:45:36I need a cigarette.
00:45:37Here, let me do that.
00:45:53The patient he told us about rang Mr. Scobie.
00:45:59The real Mr. Scobie's on holiday.
00:46:00The number you rang back
00:46:02is from the telephone bolts near the surgery.
00:46:15I spoke to his killer.
00:46:20Put a gun in there.
00:46:22Assuming a body.
00:46:23It's a word, I dress in peace.
00:46:36The pathologist Sir Sidney Smith
00:46:38offered the best advice on exclamations.
00:46:41What was that?
00:46:42A stiff dram.
00:46:43Hands stand to the windmill with a corpse.
00:46:46Sir.
00:46:48Excuse me.
00:46:49Good to stay away.
00:47:05Actually, I've never been to an exhumation before.
00:47:08Reminiscent of the days of Spillsbury.
00:47:11Aren't you a bit young to remember those?
00:47:14You know Dr. Crawford?
00:47:16He found the pin that led us to identify Abner.
00:47:18Of course.
00:47:20I must be getting forgetful in my old age.
00:47:24Had any fainting spells recently?
00:47:27Lost any bits recently?
00:47:29He didn't have to come.
00:47:30I wanted to.
00:47:32Is Dad still alive or isn't he?
00:47:35About a week ago,
00:47:37he told me your Dad suffered a head injury in prison.
00:47:40Well, eh,
00:47:41we found some old x-rays in the prison records.
00:47:45We can make a sinus comparison.
00:47:47That's not an answer.
00:47:49How could you have made such a mystique?
00:47:51How could you have made such a mystique?
00:47:51How could you have made such a mystique?
00:47:51How could you have made such a mystique?
00:47:54How could you have made such a mystique?
00:47:56How could you have made such a mystique?
00:48:00It's not every day to dig up your father, is it?
00:48:22If it is him...
00:48:23It's not.
00:48:26Where is it then, eh?
00:48:27That tricky old bastard.
00:48:28That funeral cost us 400 quid.
00:48:32It's somewhere.
00:48:34Remember when he used to bring us up here?
00:48:39Whatever he's done, there's a reason.
00:48:41I'm sure there's a reason for everything.
00:48:45You know what that lass he was looking for?
00:48:47He found her.
00:48:49What he did was sickening.
00:48:50I don't believe you.
00:48:55Here.
00:48:58I'm sorry.
00:49:01I'm sorry.
00:49:09It's impossible.
00:49:12The sinus comparisons match exactly.
00:49:16That body is Douglas Abernathy's.
00:49:18How can a dead man leave his fingerprints on the telephone?
00:49:22They must be counterfeited.
00:49:24It's impossible to counterfeit fingerprints.
00:49:27Is it possible?
00:49:28To peel off the top layers of skin?
00:49:30Preserve them?
00:49:30You'd have to be a skilled surgeon.
00:49:32But a pathologist.
00:49:34I've always said we're the best qualified people to commit murder and get away with it.
00:49:39Come in.
00:49:52Take a seat, Victor.
00:49:53Well, you've got a clever murderer, if he can plant a dead man's fingerprints.
00:50:01I don't believe in clever murderers or clever detectives.
00:50:05Well, I'd be asking why.
00:50:06Why frame a dead man?
00:50:08We are.
00:50:08I don't believe we were meant to identify Abernathy.
00:50:12That's why he was burnt.
00:50:15We were supposed to be still searching.
00:50:17What, put a dead man's prints on the murder weapons, burn the body, and then leave the weapons
00:50:24at the sites of subsequent murders?
00:50:25Well, that is clever.
00:50:26But it doesn't explain the telephone.
00:50:29Well, how can I help?
00:50:31Well, you were first at Abernathy's body.
00:50:33You lost a finger.
00:50:35A bit careless, wouldn't you say?
00:50:38And then you were the exhumation.
00:50:40Why?
00:50:42Do you suspect me?
00:50:46BT Engineer, can I change your form?
00:50:48Not now.
00:50:51Yeah.
00:50:56I've just been the biggest underheat this side of the clay.
00:51:04Come on, Mike.
00:51:05Where?
00:51:06The dentist.
00:51:21See you.
00:51:22You should have been going to sell.
00:51:23I will.
00:51:25Soon.
00:51:25Oh, aye.
00:51:26That'll be right.
00:51:26Have you come in at your money?
00:51:28Not yet.
00:51:31You know, you should be married.
00:51:33With a nice wife.
00:51:36And one day...
00:51:39See that?
00:51:41That private detective's body they've dug up.
00:51:44That's just opposite me.
00:51:48One of my other clients is the wife of the inspector in charge.
00:51:53I swear that grave digger was murdered as well.
00:51:56I knew him.
00:51:58There's a deaf and dumb lad who comes into the codder.
00:52:01He's our chief witness.
00:52:03How come?
00:52:04Well, he saw who did it.
00:52:06Tracking off the police or keeping quiet about it.
00:52:07Oh, excuse me.
00:52:08Hello?
00:52:09Oh, yes, June.
00:52:10Oh, excuse me.
00:52:12Hello?
00:52:13Oh, yes, June.
00:52:14I'm doing fine.
00:52:26I can't today.
00:52:28I'm going to be busy.
00:52:30Tomorrow?
00:52:32Ah, fine.
00:52:32I'll give you a ring then.
00:52:34Bye.
00:52:34It was simple.
00:52:44He just switched phones.
00:52:47Planted this one.
00:52:48He went to a lot of trouble.
00:52:50He wanted us to think Abernathy was alive.
00:52:55Am I thick or something?
00:52:56Not especially so.
00:52:58We did identify Abernathy's body.
00:53:00So?
00:53:01He kept to the same plan.
00:53:03Wanted us to keep thinking about voodoo, black magic.
00:53:07So we're looking for someone with a motive to kill Abernathy, Connolly and Davidson.
00:53:14Ah.
00:53:15Davidson.
00:53:17I had the right motive.
00:53:19I just got the wrong partner.
00:53:37What good will that do?
00:53:43I won't be able to supply you with that stuff when I'm in prison, will I?
00:53:48I can get it from other people.
00:53:50I did before you came along.
00:53:52You'll be there, too.
00:53:55And don't you forget that.
00:53:58Do you have to do that right now?
00:54:02I've just killed three people for you, and now there's someone who can identify me.
00:54:06You'll get your money when the insurance comes through, and you don't deserve it.
00:54:11I don't have that doll with the pins in it.
00:54:14So the papers were full of voodoo.
00:54:17It was stupid and unnecessary.
00:54:19And what was hiring Abernathy to find you a killer, and then paying that other ex-con?
00:54:24You opened yourself up to blackmail.
00:54:27You're hurting my arm.
00:54:30And then I got rid of all three of them for you.
00:54:33I think that deserves a half, not a quarter.
00:54:39I know.
00:54:39A half.
00:54:40I need that money.
00:54:41A half.
00:54:42Maggie.
00:54:51You really think they won't put an arthritic woman in prison?
00:54:54Your insurance money won't buy you this stuff inside.
00:55:01And you just can't live without it, can you, Maggie?
00:55:12I wonder why people think it's just kids that turn into junkies.
00:55:16What the fuck is she saying?
00:55:30Oh!
00:55:31G.M.T.
00:56:01G.M.T.
00:56:26Who put you into?
00:56:28A cigarette, Parker.
00:56:31Plus the fact, who else could give the murderer a key to the surgery?
00:56:39Just that.
00:56:50Cocaine.
00:56:52Take a look around.
00:56:54See if you can find any bank statements.
00:56:57Building society books.
00:56:59Just hers.
00:57:00.
00:57:05.
00:57:07.
00:57:09.
00:57:11.
00:57:13.
00:57:15.
00:57:16.
00:57:17.
00:57:18.
00:57:20.
00:57:21.
00:57:22.
00:57:23.
00:57:24.
00:57:25.
00:57:26.
00:57:27.
00:57:28.
00:57:29.
00:57:30.
00:57:43.
00:57:44.
00:57:45.
00:57:46.
00:57:47.
00:57:48.
00:57:49.
00:57:50.
00:57:51.
00:57:52.
00:57:53.
00:57:54.
00:57:56.
00:57:57.
00:57:58.
00:57:59.
00:58:00.
00:58:01.
00:58:02.
00:58:03.
00:58:04.
00:58:05.
00:58:16.
00:58:17.
00:58:18.
00:58:19.
00:58:20.
00:58:21.
00:58:22.
00:58:23.
00:58:24.
00:58:25.
00:58:26.
00:58:27Renewing your faith, Maggie?
00:58:50Colin's death.
00:58:53This is the reason for it, wasn't it?
00:58:56An insurance policy for £100,000.
00:59:03How long have you been a drug addict?
00:59:05Four years.
00:59:08How did you know?
00:59:10It was that cigarette packet.
00:59:13When I saw the cardboard lining to her now, it was a dead giveaway.
00:59:17I thought if you were smoking dope, you might be on harder drugs.
00:59:21And you were running short of money.
00:59:23I was desperate.
00:59:27How much did you pay them?
00:59:29I paid Mr. Abernathy £1,000.
00:59:33And that other man, £2,000.
00:59:36It was easy for you, wasn't it?
00:59:41Being an ex-purbation officer, you knew the right people.
00:59:45They were blackmailing me.
00:59:47Aye, well.
00:59:50That's the problem with hiding happening.
00:59:52They're not always reliable.
00:59:53You know, you see, confession is good for the soul.
01:00:07So who did you finally get to do your dirty work?
01:00:10The End
01:00:27Oh, it's just a motherfucker.
01:00:54It's just going for tea, come on.
01:00:57Sir, patrol car's boarding McWinney's Cortina, traveling out on Hearts Hill Road.
01:01:11Going out to the quarry.
01:01:12Why didn't they stop her?
01:01:14That was before the call went out.
01:01:15Oh, my God.
01:01:27Oh, my God.
01:01:29Oh, my God.
01:01:59Oh, my God.
01:02:17Oh, my God.
01:02:18Oh, my God.
01:02:19Oh, my God.
01:02:21Oh, my God.
01:02:23Oh, my God.
01:02:24Oh, my God.
01:02:41Oh, my God.
01:02:45Tommy!
01:02:57He's trying to make his day.
01:03:03Well, that's the easy part of it.
01:03:10Easy?
01:03:11Now I have to go home and tell Jean she needs a new hairdresser.
