00:03:48I'll call her today.
00:03:51I'm sorry.

00:04:04It's all right.
00:04:05It's all right.
00:04:06It's all right.
00:04:07It's all right.
00:04:15Hello?
00:04:16How are you back?
00:04:17What, today?
00:04:18What, today?
00:04:19It's Saturday.
00:04:20I'm on duty at the resource centers.
00:04:25Well...
00:04:26Yeah.
00:04:27Okay, okay.
00:04:28Yeah.
00:04:29Yeah.
00:04:30Okay, okay.
00:04:31Half an hour then.
00:04:34Bye.
00:04:35Welcome back, Eric.
00:04:36Welcome back, Eric.
00:04:45Before you say anything, you were right.
00:04:58I'm sorry.
00:04:59I really am.
00:05:00But...
00:05:01I've worked out a way for us to solve all our problems.
00:05:05You want to shut the door?
00:05:06This menu is displayed as a vertically organized list of options, each consisting of a line
00:05:12of text.
00:05:13Would you turn that racket down?
00:05:14In inverse video.
00:05:15I'm sorry.
00:05:16I'm sorry.
00:05:17I really am.
00:05:18But...
00:05:19I've worked out a way for us to solve all our problems.
00:05:20You want to shut the door?
00:05:22This menu is displayed as a vertically organized list of options, each consisting of a line of
00:05:31text.
00:05:32Would you turn that racket down?
00:05:34In inverse video.
00:05:35And here's another menu, which is presented as a pie, where each option is a wedge.
00:05:41Both of these menus may be said to have the same function.
00:05:44They allow a user to make a selection from a displayed list, but their appearance is very
00:05:49different.
00:05:50Most interaction objects can respond to user-generated input.
00:05:54They have behavior, which is dependent upon what the user does.
00:05:59A laborer was killed this morning in an incident at a city building site.
00:06:02As the mouse is moved, the slider handle moves correspondingly.
00:06:06It's believed workers of the site of the state of the lightning strike in protest, and union
00:06:11representatives are demanding a meeting with management.
00:06:14Of course, the appearance of presentation is to be changed without altering its basic behavior.
00:06:21The interaction state of an interaction object is the means by which information may be
00:06:26communicated from that object to other objects in the system.
00:06:30For example, this slider might be used to set the speaker volume for a microcomputer.
00:06:35If it's to be of any use.
00:06:37I know I've been a mug, but this way, it's a new chance, with a clean sheet.
00:06:43What do you think?
00:06:45Well...
00:06:46I don't know.
00:06:48It solves everything.
00:06:50It'll certainly be a weight off my mind.
00:06:53Things have been a bit...
00:06:55Well...
00:06:56I know.
00:06:57Trust me.
00:06:58You go off to the center, I'll go through my mail, get things back to rights, and then
00:07:03we'll cross the T's and dotty eyes on Monday.
00:07:06Okay?
00:07:07All right.
00:07:09All right, you've convinced me.
00:07:14Phil.
00:07:15Thanks a lot, pal.
00:07:26Phil.
00:07:27Phil.
00:07:28If...
00:07:29Phil.

00:07:36Lucy.
00:07:38Aaron!
00:07:39Come here.
00:07:50I come to vas العvore to the rope!
00:07:53I come here.
00:07:54Anne-Marie, would you turn that down?
00:08:06Without put-only interaction objects, the object...
00:08:12The interaction objects' appearance changes.
00:08:23Each responds to input in its own predefined way.
00:08:38.
00:08:45.
00:08:53both in the interface and in the application behavior of the interaction object provides
00:09:14low-level feedback both lexical and syntactic semantic feedback is obtained by the object's
00:09:21connection with the application and not only that I can develop them and get them screened too
00:09:34oh Diane that would be marvelous no sooner said than done oh look I better scoot Jim you've not
00:09:43met Diane she's taking some photos for the accessibility pamphlet hello are you not

00:19:21paul elliott crashing in for a superb tackle in mccoy's elliott's drinking away with it
00:19:25these long legs of this clears it way upfield to mcstay mcstay in the center circle
00:19:42and nobody really gaining the upper hand yet in an atmosphere
00:19:50so
00:20:06way down the left it goes
00:20:08rangers have been very impressive up to the 18 yard box and there again an attack breaks down
00:20:14selfie picking it up rogan collects the ball totemang to borner
00:20:17but it's going to be good
00:20:23and that's celtic's eighth corner and perhaps the best save of the match
00:20:30the celtic players are now back in their own penalty area desperately depending from what
00:20:47must surely be the final rangers onslaught yet again gobb gathering the ball lays it off to trevor
00:20:53steven he jinks back sends the ball high into the celtic penalty area rising above hateley almost
00:20:59dismissively clearing it all the way to the center circle brown picking it up on his chest he's
00:21:06forced to pass the ball back to woods the goalkeeper gathering the ball now maybe the last chance he
00:21:11screams with his teammates to get forward and hoist a huge clearance deep into the celtic half
00:21:24but it's celtic fighting back really surging into the rangers half
00:21:28from the beginning to look menacing again very close indeed to go here they come
00:21:58that's the final whistle it's all over here at parkhead after a dramatic finish
00:22:28that's the final whistle
00:22:33so
00:22:41oh
00:25:38Sir, suspected suicide.
00:25:40I'm sure you two can cope.
00:25:44I haven't touched anyone, sir.
00:26:12That's the guy that found him.
00:26:13Go and have a word, Jackie.
00:26:15He'll have a job.
00:26:15He's dead.
00:26:17It's okay.
00:26:18I can sign.
00:26:20Watch that one.
00:26:21I'll have a key in the car, sir.
00:26:31Register keeper, Philip McLean, 37 Ashfield, Crescent.
00:26:38Just two seconds, Mike.
00:26:39Is that you?
00:26:42Is that you?
00:26:42Is that you?
00:26:46Sorry.
00:26:53Sorry.
00:26:54Yes, no.
00:26:55Sorry.
00:27:06Yes, no.
00:27:09Well, mission accomplished.
00:27:22Well, mission accomplished.
00:27:27Well, the chap's sure the car wasn't here at around 3.30.
00:27:32He ran and stopped a police car as soon as he found the body.
00:27:35And what was he doing here?
00:27:36Oh, he says he's lived here for a few months.
00:27:37Yeah, fascinating.
00:27:38Get a statement.
00:27:40Has the doctor been called?
00:27:41Just as he was starving his second pound of Guinness.
00:27:43Hi, Jackie.
00:27:44Michael, what's the tricks?
00:27:46Ask him.
00:27:48Oh, dear.
00:27:51Well, let's take a shifty for the poor sod's pulse.
00:28:04Dilibattha, dilibattha, dilibattha, dilibattha.
00:28:14Dilibattha, dilibattha, dilibattha, dilibattha.
00:28:31That's the high ace for the mobile twig again.
00:28:32Log that at 18.48.
00:28:47Is it a knock?
00:28:48No.
00:28:50Let's give him enough rope to hang himself with.
00:28:56Well, here's your extinction of life.
00:28:59He's been dead for about an hour and a half.
00:29:01Two hours.
00:29:02Looks pretty open and shut, but we'll do a p.m. on Monday.
00:29:04Thanks, Colin.
00:29:05Where's your gaffer tonight, then?
00:29:07Polishing off a lamb madras.
00:29:09Well, I'm off for a drink.
00:29:10Do you care for a teacher?
00:29:12Let's get this wrapped up here first, eh?
00:29:14What a spot of embalming, eh?
00:29:17Well, I'll maybe see you in Babbage's when you get this lot wrapped up.
00:29:21Bye.
00:29:22Charming.
00:29:24Yep.
00:29:24Mine's a gallon.
00:29:33Mine's a gallon.
00:29:33Yeay!
00:29:33Hey.
00:29:33All right.
00:29:34All right.
00:29:35That's another hundred.
00:30:03And don't give me any grief.
00:30:06I want results this time.
00:30:13No.
00:30:15No reason at all.
00:30:18In fact, we've been planning to go away for a few days.
00:30:27In his car, you see.
00:30:31My God.
00:30:32Did he have any professional worries that you can think of?
00:30:37You'd have to ask his partner, Eric, about that.
00:30:40They'd been having difficulties,
00:30:42but as far as I knew, it was all sorted out.
00:30:46Anyway, nothing that would work off.
00:30:50Oh, God.
00:30:51Oh, God.
00:30:54Oh, God.
00:30:55Oh, God.
00:31:06Oh, God.
00:31:06Oh, God.
00:31:08Oh, God.
00:31:08Oh, God.
00:31:08Busy weekend, Euron.
00:31:24One suicide, a couple of busts, and a serious assaulting parcel.
00:31:30It'll make three column inches on page 94.
00:31:34If I'm lucky.
00:31:35There should be something for you there, Peter.
00:31:38He's still snapping footballers' knees.
00:31:40Well, it beats stealing dead kids' pictures.
00:31:43He wasn't dead.
00:31:44He was just in a life support machine.
00:31:47What's that doing here? That's one of mine.
00:31:49That's the suicide.
00:31:51You're joking.
00:31:52I had a drink with them after I took this.
00:31:55That one was really nice.
00:31:58A shame that.
00:31:59It was him that copped it.
00:32:05Morning, gentlemen.
00:32:06Morning.
00:32:06Morning, constable.
00:32:08How's the head?
00:32:09Is this no one been worried about?
00:32:22Right.
00:32:23What have we got here?
00:32:25Motor vehicle?
00:32:26No spine?
00:32:29Lawyer, eh?
00:32:30Oh, well.
00:32:31You win some, you lose some, eh?
00:32:35Who's here for the ID?
00:32:37The wife and the partner, Doctor.
00:32:38Right.
00:32:39I'll have a word.
00:32:40No money troubles as yet, but the accountants have been sent in.
00:32:44So we should get a report in about three months.
00:32:47Maritals?
00:32:48Well, the wife says things have been a bit difficult.
00:32:51She thought they'd been patched up and settled.
00:32:53Well, we have now.
00:32:56Where were his last movements?
00:32:58He's a volunteer worker at Southside Resource Centre.
00:33:02Legal advice, that sort of thing.
00:33:04Was last seen there by the manager S,
00:33:06Miss Sharon Lall, at 2.45.
00:33:09He was booked by a traffic warden at 3.15.
00:33:13And he left this note.
00:33:15Sorry.
00:33:16He's been typed in a word processor.
00:33:17OK, keep me posted.
00:33:23This looks more interesting.
00:33:26Serious assault and puzzle.
00:33:32Mrs. Maclean.
00:33:34And you, Mr. Barr.
00:33:36I'm sorry about all this, but it's illegal for Malady
00:33:39if you'd care to come this way.
00:33:47Yes, it's fine.
00:34:08Cherry pink hue lividity.
00:34:11Ditto major organs.
00:34:13It's pointing to the formation of carboxyhemoglobin
00:34:16consistent with CO poisoning.
00:34:25It's right, Walter.
00:34:26Let's do the head.
00:34:32I don't want to stay in that house another night.
00:34:35You're not leaving.
00:34:36The sentence due.
00:34:37It's me that's in prison.
00:34:38How are the beans?
00:34:44As well as can be expected.
00:34:47Look, I'm fresh out of small talk, George.
00:34:50My nerves is getting bad.
00:34:53I just...
00:34:55I don't know how long I can stand it.
00:34:57I'm getting something done, darling.
00:34:59Right?
00:35:00What can't you do stuck in here?
00:35:02I can do plenty.
00:35:03I can do plenty.
00:35:04Believe me.
00:35:05We'll just reflex the scalp on that.
00:35:11Hang about.
00:35:11What's this?
00:35:14Good God.
00:35:16Colin, take a look at that.
00:35:22On reflexing the scalp, massive subcutaneous internal contusions were observed.
00:35:27Aye, aye.
00:35:28Yes, so on, so forth.
00:35:32Leading to the conclusion that the victim was rendered unconscious by a blow to the rear
00:35:37of the cranium before being subjected to carbon monoxide poisoning resulting in his death.
00:35:43The PM pictures are on their way, sir.
00:35:45What about the weapon?
00:35:47They reckon it was a blunt instrument like a sandbag or a cosh wrapped in a cloth.
00:35:51Right, Michael.
00:35:53I want the locust sealed off and gone over with a tooth comb.
00:35:57Take as many, many as you want.
00:35:59Jackie, have that car taken apart.
00:36:01I want the forensic collated and on my desk yesterday.
00:36:05We've already lost two days in this.
00:36:09Did he leave a will?
00:36:11Of course he didn't.
00:36:12He was a lawyer.
00:36:14So the lot goes to you?
00:36:15I hadn't thought about it.
00:36:18You're packing away his things, I see.
00:36:19Life goes on.
00:36:23Not usually so quickly.
00:36:26Where were you last Saturday afternoon?
00:36:28I was here preparing a paper.
00:36:31I'm a lecturer at the university.
00:36:33What's your subject?
00:36:35Penology.
00:36:37Study of prisons.
00:36:38I know what it is, Mrs McLean.
00:36:40What is all this about?
00:36:41I talked to the police on Saturday.
00:36:43It's about this, Mrs McLean.
00:36:46Your husband didn't commit suicide.
00:36:48He was murdered.
00:36:52That one is perfect.
00:36:54Where was that?
00:36:55Cinema on the south side.
00:36:56See how, I mean, there isn't even enough room for a buggy, never mind a wheelchair.
00:37:00It's the same as, uh...
00:37:01That one there.
00:37:04Look, registrar's on Bath Street.
00:37:06Oh, look, yes, you're right.
00:37:08You can see.
00:37:09They've put in a ramp, but it's too steep.
00:37:11Typical.
00:37:12Diane, these are great.
00:37:14Yeah, well, they should cause a few red faces.
00:37:16Quite right, too.
00:37:17I'll get them printed up as soon as I can.
00:37:19I'm afraid I'm going to have to do them at home, because we're not allowed to use their darkroom at work.
00:37:23And where are you off to now?
00:37:25Steps bypass.
00:37:26A duck's built its nest in an excavator.
00:37:28Oh, excuse me.
00:37:34Hello?
00:37:35Uh-huh?
00:37:37Yeah, okay.
00:37:38Fifteen minutes.
00:37:39I'll be right there.
00:37:40The duck got cancelled.
00:37:58I told you, I left him here at a quarter to three.
00:38:08And there was no-one else here?
00:38:10No.
00:38:11How long have you known Mr Maclean?
00:38:13About a year.
00:38:14He worked here as a volunteer.
00:38:16And what do you know about his political background?
00:38:19What is this?
00:38:20Was there not a Philip Maclean expert from a Labour Party recently?
00:38:23Letters to the Herald and all that?
00:38:24He was suspended, yes.
00:38:26And why was that?
00:38:26I wasn't party to the discussions.
00:38:29It's to Dr Brian, not to me.
00:38:31Who's Brian?
00:38:34It's no secret we quarrelled.
00:38:37And you had him suspended from the party?
00:38:40The Labour Party doesn't go in for illegal activity, Mr Jordan.
00:38:44So what had Mr Maclean in mind?
00:38:46It had to do with the escalation of racist attacks.
00:38:50Philip was into direct action.
00:38:52And you wanted to pass motions?
00:38:53Aye, well, that's as may be.
00:38:57When did you last see him?
00:38:59About a fortnight ago.
00:39:01I really don't see how else I can help.
00:39:04I believe you're a bit of a high flyer, Mr Beattie.
00:39:07District councillor, prospective general, secretary of your union.
00:39:10Is that right?
00:39:11I get it now.
00:39:12You got my name from Sharon Lyle, didn't you?
00:39:17We're not at liberty to say.
00:39:19And was she at liberty to tell you she's been having an affair with Phil Maclean?
00:39:25You know, just for once, I'd like to break a story.
00:39:32You got the front page, didn't you?
00:39:34Yeah, with a six-month-old shot.
00:39:38You stick to ducks in the excavators, darling.
00:39:41Leave the investigative stuff to the big boys.
00:39:44Uh-huh.
00:39:45And, er, what are you doing?
00:39:48Next week's expenses.
00:39:49Mr Barr.
00:39:59Sorry, I don't believe...
00:40:00Diane Johnson, I took this photo a while back, when you won the snooker shield.
00:40:04Goodness, that's right.
00:40:05Of course, didn't we go for a...
00:40:07We went for a drink afterwards.
00:40:09Listen, I'm really sorry about it.
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:13It's hellish.
00:40:14Really hellish.
00:40:17I did get a copy of that one.
00:40:18Phil, I'm welcome to...
00:40:20I'll put you up a copy if you like.
00:40:22Yeah, don't bother.
00:40:23No, honestly, it's no bother.
00:40:25Well, okay, thanks a lot.
00:40:27It's a pleasure.
00:40:28You're welcome, my too.
00:40:29Yeah, of course.
00:40:31Bye.
00:40:35What are you playing at?
00:40:36I do the interviews.
00:40:37I was just renewing an acquaintance.
00:40:40Here's the boss.
00:40:48Excuse me, Mr. Taggart, you and Rob, I was just wondering if you've...
00:40:52No comment.
00:40:54Happy New Year to you, too.
00:40:59Have you got a quote for me?
00:41:00The poorness.
00:41:08The flies are in a pile of shite.
00:41:11Well, listen.
00:41:12Get me the address of Bart, the partner.
00:41:15Sir.
00:41:17There's no need.
00:41:18That's a move, dear.
00:41:19There's no need.
00:41:49They've closed the office.
00:41:58I can't get near it.
00:41:59Margaret, uh, McLean,
00:42:02phoned, I assumed he'd want to speak to me.
00:42:05So you know we're treating it as murder?
00:42:08Thank God.
00:42:09Sorry?
00:42:11Well, I mean,
00:42:13when I heard Philip killed himself,
00:42:17my gut's just churned up.
00:42:19It's a relief in a way to know that he didn't do it.
00:42:24And you were at the game all afternoon?
00:42:27Aye.
00:42:28Left at about
00:42:29quarter to five, obviously,
00:42:31and, uh,
00:42:31I went straight home.
00:42:34You met him about four hours earlier.
00:42:36What was that about?
00:42:37A business meeting?
00:42:38Yes.
00:42:39We'd been under a bit of pressure lately.
00:42:41The firm wasn't doing too well.
00:42:43Why's that?
00:42:46Slumping property values.
00:42:49Well, on top of that,
00:42:50I'd not, um,
00:42:51well,
00:42:53my mother died
00:42:54a couple of months ago.
00:42:55She was a bookkeeper.
00:42:57And I'd taken some time off
00:43:00to get myself sorted out.
00:43:03I only got by it last Saturday.
00:43:07Did a bit of walking.
00:43:09Did the West Highland way.
00:43:10Very cynical here.
00:43:13Anyway,
00:43:14as I was saying,
00:43:14I've been doing a bit of thinking,
00:43:15and, uh,
00:43:16I suggested to Phil
00:43:17that we take on a new partner.
00:43:19He seemed, uh,
00:43:22I don't know,
00:43:24as if he had something on his mind.
00:43:26He went off the resource center
00:43:28and,
00:43:30uh,
00:43:32well,
00:43:32you know the rest.
00:43:36If I knew the rest,
00:43:37Mr. Barr,
00:43:38I'd know who murdered him.
00:43:44Have a look at that.
00:43:45Look at this.
00:43:52That's the cotton wool pad
00:43:54smelling of chloroform.
00:43:55This was found next to it.
00:43:57Looks like a heightened boot
00:43:58or something.
00:43:59We're following it up.
00:44:01So he hit him with something
00:44:02when he couldn't get him
00:44:03with the pad.
00:44:06What the hell was McLean
00:44:07doing up at Bennetky Breeze?
00:44:08Sir,
00:44:09I think you should have a word
00:44:10with the traffic warden.
00:44:11Let's see.
00:44:18Let's see.
00:44:20Let's see.
00:44:21Let's see.
00:44:21Puss, puss, puss.
00:44:26Sir,
00:44:27this is the Mrs. Adams.
00:44:28Puss.
00:44:29Just repeat what you told me.
00:44:33Here, let's see.
00:44:35Here, puss, puss, puss.
00:44:36Here, puss, puss, puss.
00:44:48Like I said,
00:44:49I remember it quite distinct
00:44:50because I was in a right old barney.
00:44:52Do you?
00:44:53Aye,
00:44:54shouting and swearing.
00:44:55For once,
00:44:57it wasn't at me.
00:44:59Anne-Marie,
00:45:00would you bring the dishes through?
00:45:04Anne-Marie?
00:45:14But you said they,
00:45:16so there were two of them.
00:45:17Anne-Marie?
00:45:18Anne-Marie?
00:45:25Of course there was two of them.
00:45:36There was the driver
00:45:37and the other one.
00:45:40Aye,
00:45:41but who was the other one?
00:45:47Mummy!
00:45:53Pocky boy.
00:45:55He was arguing with a Pocky boy.
00:46:00Look, Mummy,
00:46:00I'm a clown.
00:46:18You want to go and wash your hands,
00:46:19okay?
00:46:25That's a profit from last year.
00:46:46What are these?
00:46:47Oh,
00:46:48that's a list of legal aid applications
00:46:49Philip McLean made.
00:46:50If you look,
00:46:52sir,
00:46:52they're all for roughly
00:46:53the same amount of money,
00:46:54all within the same week.
00:46:55Well,
00:46:56that's certainly a coincidence.
00:46:58Well,
00:46:58that's with accountancy.
00:47:00Close proximity of claims lodged
00:47:02and similar values therein
00:47:04are highly suspicious.
00:47:05Singh Patel Muhammad.
00:47:07Oh,
00:47:07Indian names.
00:47:08And all care of the
00:47:09Southside Resource Centre.
00:47:12Who's the woman in charge there again?
00:47:14Lal,
00:47:14sir.
00:47:15Sian Lal.
00:47:15The girlfriend who wants it
00:47:18kept secret.
00:47:20Get Michael.
00:47:21The two of you get over there.
00:47:22See if she recognises
00:47:23any of these names.
00:47:27What about the partner,
00:47:29Bart?
00:47:29I was going to mention that,
00:47:31sir.
00:47:31On you go,
00:47:32Jackie.
00:47:32Get them copied.
00:47:34Well?
00:47:35Well,
00:47:37you know you saw him
00:47:37at the match on Saturday.
00:47:38What time was that?
00:47:40Well,
00:47:41before the match started,
00:47:42about five to three.
00:47:43Did you see him after?
00:47:44Oh,
00:47:44I can't recall.
00:47:46What are you getting at,
00:47:47Jim?
00:47:48Do you not think
00:47:48it was a bit convenient
00:47:49to be in such a public place
00:47:51when his partner was murdered?
00:47:53Suppose he left
00:47:54shortly after seeing you.
00:47:55And drove up
00:47:56to Benocchi Braves
00:47:57and killed Maclean
00:47:58before four o'clock?
00:47:59Oh,
00:47:59you're clutching
00:48:00at straws here,
00:48:00Jim.
00:48:01The man's a lawyer,
00:48:02not an Olympic sprinter.
00:48:03I think you should
00:48:04concentrate on finding
00:48:05Miss Asian Boy.
00:48:06They killed Metsy.
00:48:14They killed the cat.
00:48:17I know, Mum,
00:48:18but I'm not having
00:48:18the children here.
00:48:20I'm sorry,
00:48:21but I'm bringing them.
00:48:22I don't know
00:48:23how bloody long.
00:48:24Just look after them.
00:48:28I'm having a bear.
00:48:29These don't mean a thing.
00:48:49None of them match up at all.
00:48:51They sound like stereotypes to me.
00:48:52What do you mean?
00:48:53They're all too common.
00:48:55It's like looking at a list
00:48:56of John Smiths
00:48:57and Ian Browns.
00:48:58Where did you get these?
00:48:59I can't say at the moment.
00:49:01Are you accusing Philip
00:49:02of some kind of fraud?
00:49:05We've an open mind
00:49:06on everything at the moment,
00:49:07Miss Lau.
00:49:07No,
00:49:08you don't seem to understand.
00:49:10Philip was straight
00:49:11up and down.
00:49:11There was no side to him.
00:49:13So you knew him well?
00:49:14He worked here
00:49:15as a volunteer
00:49:15for no pay,
00:49:16nothing.
00:49:17So why would anyone
00:49:18want to kill him?
00:49:19And you never knew
00:49:25So I did everything I knew
00:49:29If I was you,
00:49:37I'd start looking at the top
00:49:38rather than the bottom.
00:49:40I don't understand.
00:49:41I didn't tell you this before,
00:49:44but Philip thought
00:49:46that he was being followed,
00:49:48that he was under surveillance.
00:49:49By who?
00:49:50I don't know.
00:49:51MI5,
00:49:52special branch.
00:49:54And why would anyone
00:49:55like that be following him?
00:49:56I don't know the way
00:49:57these people's minds work.
00:49:59Phil wasn't exactly
00:50:00pro-establishment.
00:50:02Stick your head above
00:50:03the parapet,
00:50:03you're bound to become
00:50:04a suspect to someone.
00:50:06This is Glasgow,
00:50:07not Moscow.
00:50:08Look,
00:50:08I'm just trying
00:50:09to help.
00:50:10Yeah,
00:50:11you are.
00:50:12Just because you're paranoid
00:50:13doesn't mean you're not
00:50:13being followed.
00:50:14He was not paranoid.
00:50:16Maybe he had a lot
00:50:17in his mind,
00:50:18under pressure.
00:50:19I don't know.
00:50:22Does this mean anything
00:50:23to you?
00:50:26No,
00:50:26who is it?
00:50:27We've reason to believe
00:50:28that Philip McLean
00:50:29wasn't alone
00:50:30when he left here
00:50:30on Saturday.
00:50:31He was alone
00:50:32when I left him.
00:50:33What are you on about here?
00:50:34We're on about a charge
00:50:35of misleading the police.
00:50:37I've told you all I know.
00:50:41So be it.
00:50:45If we find out
00:50:46you've been keeping
00:50:47something back,
00:50:49you'll regret it.
00:51:05No,
00:51:08not a clue.
00:51:10And these names
00:51:10are all new to me.
00:51:11What about the figures?
00:51:12I suppose they're accurate.
00:51:14I knew we weren't
00:51:15in a healthy state.
00:51:17I did not know
00:51:17things were as bad as this.
00:51:21Could be a lot worse.
00:51:24This is the initial report.
00:51:28Come on.
00:51:30Come on.
00:51:35Hello?
00:51:37Hi.
00:51:38Danny, it's me.
00:51:39Listen,
00:51:40they know that you
00:51:41were with him on Saturday.
00:51:43Did you say anything?
00:51:43No, of course not.
00:51:45But I think they know
00:51:46that I wasn't telling the truth.
00:51:48Don't worry.
00:51:50Don't worry.
00:51:52Look,
00:51:53the best thing
00:51:55is if I just keep
00:51:56my head down for a while
00:51:57till it all blows over.
00:51:59But if you've done nothing,
00:52:00why not just go to...
00:52:01I just can't.
00:52:02That's all.
00:52:03Look,
00:52:06I'm a bit short.
00:52:08Any chance of some cash
00:52:10for a few days?
00:52:11Good night, Bursay.
00:52:12I don't know.
00:52:13About a hundred.
00:52:15Gotcha.
00:52:16Thanks.
00:52:17I'll meet you at Virgin Records.
00:52:20Thanks.
00:52:21Bye.
00:52:22Bye.
00:52:23Logged at 10.25am.
00:52:28Michael,
00:52:29why didn't you ask
00:52:30if she was having
00:52:31an affair with McLean?
00:52:31Did you hear the one
00:52:34about the young bull
00:52:35that went up to the old bull
00:52:36and said,
00:52:37let's run down that hill
00:52:38and grab a couple of cows?
00:52:40And the old bull says...
00:52:41No.
00:52:42Let's walk down
00:52:43and get them all.
00:52:46One of Jim Taggart's?
00:52:48Sust.
00:52:48Like a trout to a fly.
00:53:04I'll come too.
00:53:28I'll catch the shops
00:53:29for lunch.
00:53:29Is that your mother?
00:53:35Yes, sir, yeah.
00:53:37Let's get it fixed.
00:53:38Ah, you do that.
00:53:40There's one more thing,
00:53:41Mr Barr.
00:53:42You mentioned
00:53:43she died recently.
00:53:45What was the cause?
00:53:46Natural causes.
00:53:48Heart attacks.
00:53:49She died of a heart attack.
00:53:51She must have been
00:53:52a good age, eh?
00:53:53She was 64.
00:53:55She stayed on
00:53:55to help the business.
00:53:57Wish I was here now.
00:53:58So do I.
00:54:00She might have been able
00:54:01to answer a few questions.
00:54:14You got it?
00:54:15I'm fine, Danny.
00:54:16Thanks.
00:54:17How are you?
00:54:17Listen up, Sharon.
00:54:18I'm worried sick, Danny.
00:54:20Well, don't be.
00:54:21There's no problem.
00:54:22Look, did you bring the cash?
00:54:26Hello, Fred.
00:54:26Are you sure you're
00:54:30doing the right thing?
00:54:31Look, just trust me.
00:54:32I'll be all right.
00:54:33Of course he will.
00:54:35He'll be safe and sound
00:54:36with us.
00:54:39You, uh,
00:54:40got a change of a tenner?
00:54:49Stop it there.
00:54:52Go in a bit closer.
00:54:53That's him.
00:55:02Oh, well.
00:55:04That's another theory
00:55:05knocked on the head.
00:55:07He was at the match
00:55:08all the time.
00:55:18Stop!
00:55:19I've got it off!
00:55:25I've got it off!
00:55:28I've got it off!
00:55:35He's Sharon Lyle's brother.
00:55:39Where is he?
00:55:40In the car.
00:55:42Let's go and see
00:55:42what his home life is like.
00:55:44He's a young man.
00:55:52He's a young man.
00:56:01Is he a young man full and under God?
00:56:03So, when he's young,
00:56:05he'll be as fed as a friend.
00:56:09There's a young man fullw sum,
00:56:10and he's someone in real good,
00:56:10Hello?
00:56:24Oh.
00:56:27Er...
00:56:28Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
00:56:30It's just that...
00:56:31Well, I thought there was no one in and...
00:56:33There's your photograph.
00:56:35The photograph?
00:56:38Great. Thanks a lot.
00:56:39You look different when your clothes are off.
00:56:43It's the suit.
00:56:44The dreaded lawyer's suit.
00:56:47Listen, would you like a Bucks fizz?
00:56:50I thought you didn't drink.
00:56:51Ah, well, I'm a beer teetola, not a champagne teetola.
00:57:09Sit down, Brian.
00:57:16Isn't this place a bit public?
00:57:19Would you prefer the press club?
00:57:23Listen, it'll all be out in the open soon, so relax, okay?
00:57:27Now, what'll you have? This one's on me.
00:57:29You stay there.
00:57:47Lead the way, Donnie.
00:57:48Shut up the neighbours.
00:58:05See if you can get anything about what's on.
00:58:06I'd hate to pay your electricity bills.
00:58:27DC Reed, Maryhill Police Station.
00:58:36Eh, Mrs...
00:58:38Archer.
00:58:40I'm pursuing enquiries about the death of a man in an incident on Saturday.
00:58:43I wonder if I could have a few words.
00:58:45What about?
00:58:46Well, specifically about whether you notice anything suspicious on Saturday evening.
00:58:51We're trying to chase the movements of your neighbour, Mr Lall.
00:58:53I don't know nothing about anything.
00:58:55Well, perhaps I could come in, then we could...
00:58:56Perhaps you couldn't...
00:58:57Okay.
00:59:00You claim he gave you a lift back to your place, and then he went off on his own.
00:59:05I don't claim anything. That's what happened.
00:59:09So what were you arguing about?
00:59:10What?
00:59:11Traffic warden saw you and Maclean arguing in the street.
00:59:15Football.
00:59:16We were discussing football.
00:59:18What were you doing at the centre?
00:59:20Well, he was coordinating action against harassment.
00:59:22Racial harassment.
00:59:23No, the multicultural kind.
00:59:27Look, Danny boy.
00:59:28Don't harass me.
00:59:30You'll be sewing wheelbikes for the next three years.
00:59:32Understood?
00:59:37What about this phone call?
00:59:38I've told you.
00:59:39Tell me again.
00:59:40Well, whoever it was, it bothered him.
00:59:48He went really pale.
00:59:50He said he'd have to shut up the centre and meet someone.
00:59:53I don't know where.
00:59:55You went up to Benicky Brace?
00:59:56Yeah, so I heard.
00:59:58And you went home and stayed in all night?
01:00:00Yeah.
01:00:01On a Saturday night?
01:00:02I'm the shy, retiring sort.
01:00:08Do you own a pair of hiking boots?
01:00:10No, I don't.
01:00:11And I think I'd like to speak to a lawyer.
01:00:13It's not time for that yet, Danny boy.
01:00:15Not yet.
01:00:17We're going down to the motor.
01:00:19Talk to your sister.
01:00:19She's having a wee greet.
01:00:20I'm going to cheer her up.
01:00:21And don't book any holidays abroad.
01:00:26Do you get my meaning?
01:00:33What about the sister?
01:00:36Oh, I think they're both clean.
01:00:39Send her home.
01:00:43Do you know this place?
01:00:46No.
01:00:47Why?
01:00:47So, what's the three wives must be, Doctor?
01:00:52Should we tip them off?
01:00:53Not on your nelly.
01:00:54No.
01:00:57This beautiful lady
01:00:59Is walking around with me
01:01:05And that she asked me
01:01:09Do you feel alright
01:01:14And I say yes
01:01:17I feel wonderful tonight
01:01:21I feel wonderful
01:01:27Because I see the light
01:01:32In your eyes
01:01:35And the wonder
01:01:37Of it all
01:01:39Is that you just know
01:01:42In your life
01:01:44How much I love you
01:01:48How much I love you
01:01:49How much I love you
01:01:53It looks like somebody's been having a go at his flat.
01:01:55The stairhead is covered in racist graffiti.
01:01:57And there's signs of a fire
01:01:59In the flat opposite
01:01:59Has he made a complaint?
01:02:01Not to us
01:02:02Well, I'd better tell the rest relations boys anyway
01:02:04Any luck with the neighbours?
01:02:07There's only one, sir
01:02:08A Mrs Archer
01:02:09She says she's seen nothing
01:02:11And heard nothing
01:02:12That's what I like about this job
01:02:15Public cooperation
01:02:17No, no, not a removal
01:02:20A clearance
01:02:20Well, as soon as possible, really
01:02:24Good, good
01:02:28Yeah
01:02:31I'll expect you then
01:02:34Thank you, goodbye
01:02:36Let your fingers do the walking
01:02:48Matches the indentations on McLean's skull exactly, sir
01:03:13And he just dropped it down the nearest drain
01:03:16Obviously panicked
01:03:18Traceable?
01:03:20I'm trying to find that out
01:03:21Any thoughts on your promotion, Jim?
01:03:25Erm
01:03:26Not had a chance to speak to Jean yet
01:03:28Need an answer soon
01:03:29I'll sort it out tonight
01:03:31Catch her in a good mood
01:03:32Use all my available charm
01:03:35Good luck
01:03:36How long?
01:03:43Only three months
01:03:45How did you know?
01:03:48I saw the tasting kit in your drawer
01:03:50Oh, God
01:03:52I feel better already
01:03:55I couldn't say anything in front of that other policeman
01:03:59He was such a...
01:04:00Yeah
01:04:01Yeah, he is
01:04:02Did Philip know?
01:04:07No
01:04:07No, I just told Danny
01:04:10I didn't want to put any more pressure on Philip
01:04:14Anyway, he told me on Saturday he was going to leave his wife
01:04:18We were due to meet up later on
01:04:20I was going to tell him then
01:04:22He never showed up
01:04:25He said he was leaving her
01:04:27Yeah
01:04:29That's what makes all this such
01:04:31I can't help thinking how well things were going to turn out
01:04:36Now
01:04:39And we never know what's round the corner, do we?
