00:00:00You

00:00:30You

00:01:00You

00:01:30Too fast?

00:01:45A bit

00:01:48Cowardy custard

00:02:00You

00:02:30I can't come, Dad.

00:02:42I've got a terrible headache.

00:02:43Doesn't look like it.

00:02:45Well, I have.

00:02:46It's your uncle. We're his only family.

00:02:49It's a big day for him.

00:02:50The biggest day of his life.

00:02:52I don't want to come, Dad.

00:02:54He's more important than your uncle, I suppose.

00:03:00Excuse me, soldier. Would you like to send your bell?

00:03:01You're soft. That's always been your problem.

00:03:28Hello.

00:03:30How are you today?

00:03:46Carl, change your mother's flowers for her.

00:03:49Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending this conference.

00:04:03Our subject, as you know, is lock it or lose it.

00:04:10Our campaign idea is simple.

00:04:13Don't put temptation in another's path.

00:04:16As you know, for some time there has been concern about what some people have called...

00:04:22There are men walking the streets of Glasgow who murdered my baby's son and as good as murdered my wife.

00:04:27What are you going to do about it?

00:04:28What?

00:04:28Is there a cover-up?

00:04:30Is there a conspiracy of silence between Glasgow police and the criminals?

00:04:33Get him out of here.

00:04:34What's my wife got out of this?

00:04:36Nothing.

00:04:37No compensation.

00:04:39There's Tommy Cattoway's posh hotels.

00:04:42All that money.

00:04:43And what have we got out of it?

00:04:45Nothing.

00:04:46Nothing.

00:04:46The man's deranged.

00:04:55I have a good reason.

00:04:58I told me Cattoway's getting married.

00:05:00It was in the papers.

00:05:01And his brother comes out today.

00:05:02Now there is a hard case.

00:05:05The way these things go round and round and round.

00:05:08Like living and an emboldening door.

00:05:13This place, this place, this place.

00:05:43I hate waiting.

00:05:48Here they come.

00:05:55Jimmy!

00:06:13Jimmy!

00:06:26Jimmy!

00:06:30Jimmy, Mum's here.

00:06:32We've come to get you.

00:06:34They've sent a coach.

00:06:36You don't have to go in the coach.

00:06:38You're free, Jimmy.

00:06:40You don't have to go anywhere you don't want to.

00:06:44Come on.

00:06:51Hello, Mum.

00:06:52Hello, sir.

00:06:55Champagne.

00:07:10Who's it?

00:07:12Just me.

00:07:13Thank God.

00:07:14I thought it was your father.

00:07:15Who have you got up there?

00:07:17Cheeky.

00:07:18No one.

00:07:19I was trying my wedding dress on.

00:07:21Well?

00:07:22You look gorgeous, Mary.

00:07:24I just don't want to look cheap.

00:07:25Nothing would make you look cheap.

00:07:27You look smashing.

00:07:30It costs a fortune.

00:07:32Oh, you can afford it.

00:07:33I'm sure Daddy wants you to have whatever you want.

00:07:35Yeah.

00:07:36And you?

00:07:37I want you both to be happy.

00:07:39Here they are.

00:07:40You'd better take it off.

00:07:42I didn't think they'd be back so soon.

00:07:47They decided to celebrate.

00:07:50Elsa, this is your Uncle Jimmy.

00:07:55And this is Mary, soon to be my wife.

00:07:57Hiya.

00:07:58Tommy's told us all about you.

00:08:04Hello, Elsa.

00:08:07Welcome home, Uncle Jimmy.

00:08:15It's changed, Jimmy.

00:08:17So have I.

00:08:19I just wanted to see it, that's all.

00:08:27I'll see you back at Mum's.

00:08:57Cheers.

00:09:10Salt and sauce.

00:09:11I run out of vinegar.

00:09:14Who ever heard of a chip shop without vinegar?

00:09:16A bit of vinegar.

00:09:27We here.

00:09:32Away to hell!

00:09:34Aye, Jimmy.

00:09:37Here, Jimmy!

00:09:39Yes, see me.

00:09:40When did you get out?

00:09:42The day before yesterday, as you well know.

00:09:44Right, chip.

00:09:51So where you going?

00:09:53Home to mother.

00:09:57How's you getting?

00:09:58It's fine.

00:10:01And are you coping all right?

00:10:04No, the traffic!

00:10:09So what are you going to do now you're out?

00:10:12I'll watch for my brother.

00:10:15He's getting married.

00:10:17Aye.

00:10:18I read about it in the society pages.

00:10:20He's going to find me a job with his company.

00:10:23He's worked hard.

00:10:25Used to follow to his example 20 years ago.

00:10:29You like your dad.

00:10:31He always wear.

00:10:33Aye.

00:10:35The old fella.

00:10:37Here, take these.

00:10:39I don't want any charity.

00:10:41There's no charity.

00:10:43It's just that I hate chips without any vinegar.

00:10:44I don't want any vinegar.

00:10:54Who's that?

00:10:56Huh?

00:10:59It's Jimmy Cantle.

00:11:00Why that pub?

00:11:01It's called returning to the scene of the crime.

00:11:02He shot the landlord.

00:11:04Why?

00:11:06Because someone paid him to do it.

00:11:08He was a professional hitman.

00:11:09What a charming person to have around, Doris.

00:11:10You knew all about him when we got engaged.

00:11:11Tommy, must you do that?

00:11:12Just going to practice for married life.

00:11:13Oh, really?

00:11:14Oh, really?

00:11:15Why?

00:11:16Why?

00:11:17Because someone paid him to do it.

00:11:18He was a professional hitman.

00:11:20What a charming person to have around, Doris.

00:11:22You knew all about him when we got engaged.

00:11:26Tommy, must you do that?

00:11:29Just going to practice for married life.

00:11:32Oh, really?

00:11:43No, no, no.

00:12:00Oh, my God.

00:12:30In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the grace and peace

00:12:42of God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

00:12:45And also with you.

00:12:47Welcome to the celebration of the marriage of Tommy and Mary.

00:13:00Welcome to the marriage of Tommy and Mary.

00:13:29You've got a good catch there, Tommy.

00:13:39If you say that again, it's the best catch he's had in years.

00:13:43Champagne.

00:13:44Elza, you're looking radiant.

00:13:46Dad, don't you think you should be dancing with Mary?

00:13:48Dancing with Mary?

00:13:49He's going to be spending the rest of his life with her.

00:13:52It'll be Elza's turn next, won't it, Elza?

00:13:55Where's that boyfriend of yours?

00:13:56What's his name?

00:13:57Gary.

00:13:58Oh, wedding bells in that direction, Tommy.

00:14:00Not if I can help it.

00:14:01Come on, Tommy.

00:14:02A vet's a good occupation for a boy.

00:14:04He's no a vet yet.

00:14:09Gary?

00:14:10My dance?

00:14:11Was it a surprise?

00:14:28He never warned me.

00:14:30Do you like her?

00:14:31I don't know her.

00:14:41You've been a kind of hero in our family.

00:14:44What do you mean?

00:14:45I don't know anyone else who murdered four people.

00:14:50I should have been a bit proud of.

00:14:52What was it like to be a hitman?

00:14:55Killing people you never even knew.

00:14:57Why don't you ask me a sensible question?

00:15:01Dance with me?

00:15:16Elfie!

00:15:17Andy, look what you've done.

00:15:19What's up there?

00:15:22Which is Tommy's car?

00:15:28Can't let the happy couple go away with that surprise.

00:15:31He might be in trouble around the corner.

00:15:46Uncle Jimmy, this is my boyfriend, Gary.

00:15:49You better take him back.

00:15:50I'm not wearing a steel toe-taps.

00:15:53What are you doing with that idiot dance with you for?

00:15:55He's not an idiot.

00:15:56He's educated.

00:15:57He's a vet.

00:15:59The sort of educated man spends his life

00:16:01with his hand up a cow's bum.

00:16:03Oh, Tommy.

00:16:04Oh.

00:16:05And the high school's bumble.

00:16:06Who's mymanship?

00:16:07Right in here!

00:16:08Daddy!

00:16:08Daddy, I'm why!

00:16:09I'm out of here.

00:16:09I'm out!

00:16:10Daddy!

00:16:10Harry, I'm out of here!

00:16:12Oh.

00:16:12Daddy!

00:16:12We won't be away long.

00:16:19Do you know where they're going, David?

00:16:22Two days in Pitlockery.

00:16:24Daddy, not much of a honeymoon.

00:16:26Hoteliers don't take holidays or honeymoons.

00:16:28It comes to the self-employed.

00:16:30Exactly.

00:16:31Bloody hell.

00:16:33Bloody hell!

00:16:35Yeah, the police!

00:16:36No! No police, please.

00:16:38It'll just make things worse.

00:16:40Poor Tommy.

00:16:42Poor Tommy, his wedding is well.

00:16:57How long are you going to be?

00:16:58I'll be back tomorrow.

00:17:00David Markham and I always stay over at Tarbuck.

00:17:10So I'm to be a fishing widow?

00:17:14Come on.

00:17:15We've had our honeymoon.

00:17:16Some honeymoon?

00:17:17You didn't even take me to see the Salmon Falls.

00:17:20We'd better things to do.

00:17:22So what am I supposed to do while you're away?

00:17:24Dress for one thing.

00:17:26I can think of one thing to stay undressed for.

00:17:29Come on.

00:17:30We've had enough of that.

00:17:31I haven't.

00:17:32Got to go.

00:17:33Well, I hope you catch nothing.

00:17:34It wouldn't be the first time.

00:17:35It's gone 11.30.

00:17:37It's gone 11.30.

00:17:38How much longer?

00:17:39Oh, no.

00:17:40It's gone 11.30.

00:17:41Not much longer.

00:17:42Oh, not long now.

00:17:43It's gone 11.30.

00:18:05Oh, not long now.

00:18:11There she is.

00:18:23Hello. Dad, what are you doing here?

00:18:26I'm going to give you a lift. First time in 20 years.

00:18:35To be continued.

00:18:43This is the end.

00:19:18Well, that's Mr. Cardo's paper. Put them for service tomorrow.

00:19:27Right, okay.

00:19:48Good afternoon, Miss Cardo.

00:20:04Good afternoon, Jack.

00:20:06Did she say how long she was staying?

00:20:08She just got here.

00:20:10She's only just been on two weeks' holiday.

00:20:13I thought the hospital was short of nurses.

00:20:17Days off.

00:20:18Trouble is, they don't know how to tell him.

00:20:21That's nothing to be ashamed of.

00:20:22You know how they worry.

00:20:24And how old-fashioned Dad is.

00:20:25I'd just choose my moment.

00:20:28Look, don't say anything to him, please.

00:20:32I'm not that brave.

00:20:35Wow.

00:20:37It's the high life for you now.

00:20:41Hmm.

00:20:44Money.

00:20:46Big car.

00:20:48Husband.

00:20:50House.

00:20:51Lover.

00:20:52Enjoy it.

00:20:53I intend to.

00:20:56Tell me.

00:20:59What happens if he snuffs it?

00:21:02I'll share with Elsa and Jimmy.

00:21:09Tommy bought me this.

00:21:11It's incredibly expensive.

00:21:13You don't know how to handle, Tony.

00:21:21You can get in, you want it?

00:21:22Oh, my God.

00:21:52Oh, my God.

00:22:22A dozen oysters, half a bottle of Groupland and Highland Spring.

00:22:26Is everything okay, Miss Ketter?

00:22:29It had better be.

00:22:35Fish platter?

00:22:37Aye.

00:22:37My uncle's just come back from abroad.

00:22:51Do you often fly over here with Tommy?

00:22:54Only when I feel like getting away from Gary.

00:22:56I thought he was your boyfriend.

00:22:58He gets heavy sometimes.

00:23:01Besides, I have to get to know the business.

00:23:07Very sophisticated.

00:23:12Thank you, Uncle Jimmy.

00:23:13I don't believe it.

00:23:34Another bloody pollock.

00:23:36Must be a shawl underneath.

00:23:38I know none of me, Tommy.

00:23:39He's the jammy one.

00:23:41But a sea trout.

00:23:43He's earned his prize.

00:23:45What does Jimmy got to do with himself?

00:23:47I'll leave him here for a week or two.

00:23:49He can get his bearings, have a bit of quiet.

00:23:51Then I'll find him a job in the company.

00:23:53That's our Tommy.

00:23:54Do anything for anybody.

00:23:57You don't want him getting back with a bad crowd again.

00:23:59He also might have a good influence on him.

00:24:04I don't think that's on her agenda.

00:24:05I don't know.

00:24:35Go on, Willie.

00:24:47Willie, stop marking that boat.

00:24:55Willie, what the devil are you doing up there?

00:25:04Willie!

00:25:05Willie, can I do anything?

00:25:32Oysters.

00:25:34She ate oysters.

00:25:35I can assure you, Mr. Cato, I finished the job myself and checked everything.

00:25:46I don't understand what happened to Willie.

00:25:47I mean, he's never been drunk on a job before.

00:25:50It's a wonder he didn't kill himself.

00:25:52Thanks.

00:25:55How is she?

00:25:56She just needs rest.

00:25:58I'll look after her.

00:25:59I don't know.

00:26:13I don't know.

00:27:15Who's here?

00:27:45I've, um, I've got something I want to tell you.

00:27:58I've decided I'm not going back to nursing.

00:28:00What about your training?

00:28:07What about the hospital?

00:28:09Well, I think they'll manage just fine.

00:28:11Where will you go?

00:28:13Don't know.

00:28:14You're going and you don't know what you're going to do?

00:28:16I know I've had enough.

00:28:18I want to go travelling.

00:28:19Maybe, maybe do some VSO.

00:28:23What's that?

00:28:24Voluntary service overseas.

00:28:27So you won't get paid?

00:28:28Not if it's voluntary.

00:28:30Where?

00:28:32India, Africa.

00:28:34So, I thought I'd spend some time with you first.

00:28:37It's been such a long time since I've seen you.

00:28:39Well, welcome home.

00:28:44It's been such a long time.

00:28:45No.

00:28:46It's been such a long time.

00:28:47Come on.

00:28:48I'm sorry.

00:28:49I'm sorry.

00:28:49Come on.

00:28:50I'm sorry.

00:28:50You're welcome.

00:28:51I'm sorry.

00:28:52I'm sorry.

00:28:52Oh, my God.

00:29:22Oh, my God.

00:29:52Oh, my God.

00:30:22Oh, my God.

00:30:52Sir, there's been a light aircraft crash in the Campsies.

00:31:01The pilot's been killed.

00:31:02Michael's already on his way out there.

00:31:06The pilot was Jimmy Cato's brother.

00:31:08Any further instructions?

00:31:15Any further instructions?

00:31:15What happened?

00:31:16What happened?

00:31:29He took off on a routine flight from Tarbot.

00:31:31He's done it hundreds of times before.

00:31:34According to the witness, he was flying erratically before he crashed.

00:31:36Hey, chef, you're not telling me again, chef.

00:31:44Drunk.

00:31:54We'll know soon enough.

00:31:57Anybody else on board?

00:31:59Looks like just one body.

00:32:01At the moment.

00:32:02Who were you thinking of, sir?

00:32:05Mescaline.

00:32:28It's an hallucinogenic prescription.

00:32:32Not unless you're an inpatient.

00:32:36Any other drugs?

00:32:37No.

00:32:39Alcohol?

00:32:39Not a drop.

00:32:40I can't believe any pilot would take drugs before flying.

00:32:44It's suicide.

00:32:45Would that have been his intention?

00:32:47We just got married, sir.

00:32:49Sir, the aircraft investigation people interviewed a mechanic who serviced the plane.

00:32:54Oh, not now.

00:32:55Sir, this is important.

00:32:56He was on mescaline.

00:33:02Mescaline.

00:33:02He jumped off a hangar roof.

00:33:08He's lucky to be alive.

00:33:18Oh, damn it!

00:33:20The doctor's with Mary.

00:33:37And I hope he shuts the stupid cow up.

00:33:40I don't want to listen to that old bony.

00:33:42Miss Cattle.

00:33:45Can we talk to you now?

00:33:46It's lucky you didn't fly down with him.

00:34:12He took me over there to give me a break.

00:34:16He was going to find me a job with this company.

00:34:20What did you do there?

00:34:23I had lunch with Elsa.

00:34:26Told me I went fishing.

00:34:27Who was?

00:34:29Some fishing powers of his.

00:34:32David Lane.

00:34:35Malcolmstein.

00:34:37They were at a wedding.

00:34:38Do you know anybody that would want to kill him?

00:34:47Kill?

00:34:50Wasn't an accident, Jimmy.

00:34:54I don't...

00:34:55Did he take a drink out of that flask of his on the way to Tarbot?

00:35:01The flask of water in his cockpit?

00:35:02I can't remember.

00:35:06It's important you remember.

00:35:10I think so.

00:35:13I can.

00:35:16You're not going to pin something on me.

00:35:18Ah, Jimmy.

00:35:20I know you wouldn't kill your brother.

00:35:23He stood by you.

00:35:26I had food poisoning.

00:35:28From oysters.

00:35:30Dad said I ought to stay there.

00:35:33Have some rest.

00:35:35He was going to come back for me.

00:35:39Ask Uncle Jimmy.

00:35:40You got over it quite quickly.

00:35:44What are you implying?

00:35:46Just that it was a lucky plate of oysters.

00:35:53Elsa.

00:35:54Who was the last person off the plane?

00:35:58Probably me.

00:36:00Oh, I don't know.

00:36:04Look.

00:36:05He was my father.

00:36:08I loved him.

00:36:11That plane was on the tarmac overnight.

00:36:14Anyone could have put the stuff in his drinking water.

00:36:17What's it called?

00:36:18Miss Gloom.

00:36:19You're, uh...

00:36:21You're a lot calmer than your stepmother about this.

00:36:25Perhaps that's what being sent away to boarding school teaches you.

00:36:32Mrs Cattle, can I talk to you now, please?

00:36:35I'll interview Mrs Cattle.

00:36:36Jim Taggart and I have known each other since he broke my windows.

00:36:40He was in short pants at the time.

00:36:42I've been here.

00:37:01Sure thing.

00:37:03Do you know who did it?

00:37:15No.

00:37:17Why would someone?

00:37:20Maybe it was meant to be me.

00:37:24Someone from the past.

00:37:27Did you tell the police that?

00:37:30They'll figure it out.

00:37:33Your father wouldn't have waited in, policemen.

00:37:37There used to be methods.

00:37:39Ways of dealing with things like that.

00:37:55You seem very confident.

00:37:59Jimmy Carter would never murder his brother.

00:38:02You were family.

00:38:03You're telling me people don't murder their families?

00:38:06They were like two doubles in an optic.

00:38:09You seem to know them intimately.

00:38:11I do.

00:38:12I went to school with him.

00:38:14From school?

00:38:16Aye, school of hard knocks.

00:38:19He could have gone my way.

00:38:21I could have gone his.

00:38:23Jimmy was a professional hitman, sir.

00:38:25We were just rough kids at the time, getting into trouble together.

00:38:33Box way.

00:38:33What about Tommy Carter?

00:38:35He was always squeaky clean.

00:38:37The worst mistake he made was getting in with Ailsa's mother.

00:38:41By God, she was a wild card.

00:38:44She must have been quite a cracker, too.

00:38:49She was a bank robber.

00:38:50She was in a gang, drove a gateway car, got killed in a crash.

00:38:56That's when George Wilkie's wife was hit.

00:39:00If I did find the other members of the gang.

00:39:02George Wilkie.

00:39:12God admit the likes of Tommy Carter to fly.

00:39:15I've given him wings.

00:39:16Ever been to Tarbot, George?

00:39:18How would I go to Tarbot?

00:39:21Can you account for your movements in the last two days?

00:39:25Account for my movements?

00:39:26I moved from here to the hospital, from the hospital to here, from here to the hospital.

00:39:31Just like I've been doing for the past ten years.

00:39:34It's not ten years we're into sin.

00:39:36Just two days.

00:39:37Why would I want Tommy Carter killed?

00:39:39It's money I wanted out of him.

00:39:42I can hardly get money out of him when he's dead.

00:39:44It wasn't Tommy Carter that ran your wife over.

00:39:47It was his girlfriend.

00:39:48Ten years ago, it was harder to get criminal compensation than it is now.

00:39:53That's what I'm after.

00:39:54Just a bit of money to make life more bearable for a wee girl who's never even heard the sound of her mother's voice.

00:39:59George.

00:40:00Two days.

00:40:05He's just mad enough, sir.

00:40:07He's right, though.

00:40:09How do you get compensation out of your dead man?

00:40:12You might think he's got a better chance of getting money out of the Cato family.

00:40:18I wonder where the money for that payroll robbery did go.

00:40:21We never knew.

00:40:22We think it went out of your hotel business.

00:40:26Proves my point, sir.

00:40:27I wonder where the money for that payroll broker is.

00:40:31I wonder if you're paying attention to, why you're paying attention to us.

00:40:36I wonder what we can do with the bank инд mainstreamed, this may differ to us.

00:40:40Sometimes, if you're paying attention on how you're paying attention to us, you might be able to pay attention to us.

00:40:41Schoolster and premieres tomorrow!

00:40:43What do you think it will help us?

00:40:44We ought to make an inch point.

00:40:45statorit yesterday.

00:40:46I can imagine Shaka.

00:40:47And pushed ourselves on watching from 영상을.

00:40:49When we see my point that exists out of the space, we can see his background.

00:40:50Got it yourself long and how many more.

00:40:52We can look forward to him along between our parks and our people.

00:40:54We're not seeing them in sharing many bodies.

00:40:55Flora?

00:41:11Yes.

00:41:16Sorry.

00:41:25Sir.

00:41:30Oh, I'm sticking them down here.

00:41:39Clearing out the attic, sir.

00:41:41It's payroll robbery files going back to 81.

00:41:45I thought they might be relevant.

00:41:47I'll take us all week.

00:41:50I'll take you all week.

00:41:53You made the connection.

00:41:55Thank you, Lorna.

00:41:59This is our state of play, financially speaking.

00:42:03It's looking pretty healthy.

00:42:05On the division of your father's estate,

00:42:08well, I'm the finance director here, not a lawyer.

00:42:12And anyway, everything's frozen until inquiries are complete.

00:42:17But according to Tommy's latest will,

00:42:20the company's split pretty much equally between the two of you,

00:42:24with provisions for your Uncle Jimmy and your grandmother.

00:42:27Let's be sure we've got something to split, shall we?

00:42:32Um...

00:42:32I think I've laid out everything quite plainly here.

00:42:37It's all gobbledygook to me.

00:42:39I can't make head nor tail of this.

00:42:41Can you?

00:42:43You went to business school?

00:42:44Yes.

00:42:45And we learned how to set out accounts clearly.

00:42:48I understand them.

00:42:51A bit.

00:42:53Mary was the accounts clerk here when your father first met her.

00:42:57I've never been an accounts clerk anywhere.

00:42:59Lucky me.

00:43:01Put it in plain English,

00:43:03and we'll have another meeting.

00:43:04A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:13A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:15A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:16A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:17A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:18A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:19A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:20A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:21A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:22A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:23A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:24A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:26A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:27A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:28A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:29A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:30A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:31A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:32A bit premature, isn't she?

00:43:33Keep walking.

00:44:03Lie down, face down, go under the car.

00:44:07The deal stands.

00:44:09What deal?

00:44:10Exactly as it was.

00:44:13As he did it, you'll do it.

00:44:15OK?

00:44:16Who are you?

00:44:19A messenger.

00:44:21The deal stands or else.

00:44:24Or else what?

00:44:26Or else you'll be needing these.

00:44:33It's OK.

00:45:03Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

00:45:26Hi.

00:45:26Good morning, Willie.

00:45:28Hi.

00:45:29Good morning, Willie.

00:45:30Come on, Rolly.

00:45:32Do it.

00:46:01Where are you going, Jimmy?

00:46:04I thought I'd get a paper.

00:46:06It's very early.

00:46:08I can't sleep much.

00:46:12There's tea made.

00:46:30It's a croissant.

00:46:32I know what it is.

00:46:38How did you sleep last night?

00:46:42I just kept waking up, thinking your father was here.

00:46:46Put your arm out and there's just an empty space.

00:46:50Has anything odd happened to you?

00:46:53Odd? Like what?

00:46:55I don't know.

00:46:57Out of the ordinary.

00:46:59Have you been approached by a priest?

00:47:01A priest? What for?

00:47:04A young one.

00:47:06No.

00:47:08I have.

00:47:10He wasn't from this parish.

00:47:12Did he comfort you?

00:47:14No.

00:47:16He held a bloody gun against my head.

00:47:20He said I was to carry on the deal.

00:47:24What deal?

00:47:25Who should I know?

00:47:28Elsa?

00:47:29Were you scared?

00:47:30Of course I was scared.

00:47:32If someone held a gun against your head, you'd be scared.

00:47:38You don't think?

00:47:40No one's gonna threaten me, are they?

00:47:43I don't know.

00:47:44Yes, we went there regularly.

00:47:47Fishing every three months.

00:47:53Thanks Ian.

00:47:55Makes a break from the deli toil.

00:47:57Aye.

00:47:59I wouldn't mind a break myself.

00:48:02It's nice to see there's still some engineering in the Clyde.

00:48:05Well, it's not on the scale it was.

00:48:07These are oil rig parts.

00:48:11When did you get to target?

00:48:14Ten o'clock at night.

00:48:15We stayed at Tommy's hotel.

00:48:17He always gave Malcolm and me free rooms.

00:48:19Then we get an early start out in the water by seven.

00:48:22Oh, is that machine okay to him now?

00:48:26Did you catch anything?

00:48:27Some coddling.

00:48:28Tommy was the luckiest.

00:48:29He caught two sea trout.

00:48:31Pity his luck run out.

00:48:33Any idea who was responsible?

00:48:35Well, his plane was there overnight.

00:48:37Anybody could go in.

00:48:39Anybody that was there in Carbeth.

00:48:42Are you accusing one of us, Mr. Taggart?

00:48:49Did Tommy have any worries?

00:48:51Any problems?

00:48:53The only thing Tommy ever worried about was Ailsa.

00:48:56The rest, he took in his stride.

00:48:59Oh, sorry, sir, you're busy.

00:49:09Carry on.

00:49:11Just my notes on Tommy Cato's trip to Talbot, sir.

00:49:14I interviewed Malcolm Steen, the other fishing partner.

00:49:17Cato, David Lang and Steen went there regularly.

00:49:20How often?

00:49:22Every three months for the fishing.

00:49:24Tallies are what Lang told me.

00:49:26Yeah, they would seem just to be business associates, sir.

00:49:28But what do oil rigs and plants hire to do with the hotel business?

00:49:34They'll make money, sir.

00:49:36Is that old Michael?

00:49:38Yes, sir.

00:49:40Right, type up your notes, eh?

00:49:41Well, yes, it's not a great approach, then.

00:49:45Tell me how it happened.

00:49:47Yes, sir.

00:49:49Yes, sir!

00:49:51Yes, sir.

00:49:53Well, yes, sir.

00:49:55Yes, sir.

00:49:57Yes, sir.

00:49:58Tell me how it happened.

00:50:03Priest.

00:50:05Well, he wasn't, of course.

00:50:08He followed me down in the lift, then into the car park.

00:50:14He put a gun to my head and told me to crawl under the car.

00:50:17What did he say?

00:50:20Something about the deal.

00:50:22Carrying on the deal.

00:50:25Something to do with the company.

00:50:28I don't know.

00:50:32What was he like?

00:50:35He was in his late 20s.

00:50:38Dark hair.

00:50:39Just a boy.

00:50:42He'd have been kicking a ball and chewing bubblegum when you went to prison.

00:50:47I'd like to go to the police.

00:50:48Oh!

00:50:49Don't.

00:50:51They won't help.

00:50:53What then?

00:50:54Leave it to me.

00:50:56I'll see it.

00:50:57How?

00:51:00Trust me.

00:51:13Why the undercover bit, sir?

00:51:15When was the last time you built a video camera to a funeral?

00:51:19I want a record of this lot.

00:51:20I expect you're here on business.

00:51:35It's important that we meet people.

00:51:38This is Gary.

00:51:40He's training to be a vet.

00:51:41I'd better go and see to my stepmother.

00:51:52I don't like funerals.

00:51:54You know Jimmy Cattle?

00:51:56Elsa always kept me apart from her family.

00:51:58Thanks for coming, Bully.

00:52:08Aye.

00:52:09I heard you were out.

00:52:12It's been a long time, eh?

00:52:14Have you got a cigarette?

00:52:15Oh, no.

00:52:16I gave them up, Jimmy.

00:52:18Too expensive these days.

00:52:20You telling me.

00:52:22Too put a packet.

00:52:23I haven't done that either.

00:52:34I haven't had the time.

00:52:39I'm not just saying.

00:52:46Hales is going to be all alone now.

00:52:48She'll need looking after.

00:52:49Aye, you've been doing a good job of that.

00:52:51Well, I'm her godfather after all.

00:52:53She's a headstrong girl.

00:52:55Tell me about my brother's company.

00:53:10What about him?

00:53:12About a deal.

00:53:14A deal?

00:53:15For a priest.

00:53:18I'm sorry.

00:53:19I've no idea what you're talking about.

00:53:25For a guy who was squeaky clean,

00:53:31there's a hell of a lot of villains at his funeral.

00:53:33Recognise anyone from your golf club, sir?

00:53:42There's Steen, one of the fishing chums.

00:53:44Aye.

00:53:46Respectable businessman.

00:53:48Plant hire.

00:53:50Who's the blonde?

00:53:51Oh, that's the grieving widow, sir.

00:53:52She used to be an accounts clerk at Cattle's Hotels.

00:53:56Done well for herself.

00:53:57And that's McNally.

00:53:59He's been with Tommy Carroll for five years.

00:54:01The Cattle Group Finance Director.

00:54:03Fancy name for an accountant.

00:54:08Run that bit back.

00:54:16I know that face.

00:54:18That's Billy Boyce.

00:54:18Used to be known as Billy the Armourer.

00:54:20Billy Boyce.

00:54:26I knew that face was familiar.

00:54:29You mean you sometimes forget a face, sir?

00:54:32A friend of Jimmy Cattle's.

00:54:34Used to supply guns.

00:54:35Retired now.

00:54:36Probably paying his respects.

00:54:39Sir.

00:54:41You know that remark made by Elsa's boyfriend?

00:54:44About how she liked to keep him apart from her family?

00:54:47I wonder why.

00:54:48Poor boy, rich girl.

00:54:54Maybe tell me can't I disapproved.

00:55:10Hello.

00:55:10So, you didn't go to the house this afternoon?

00:55:19No, I told you.

00:55:20I don't like funerals.

00:55:23I only really went because of Elsa.

00:55:25How did you go on with her, father?

00:55:27Okay.

00:55:29Well, when I say okay, I didn't really meet him many times.

00:55:32But when you did meet him, how did you get on with him?

00:55:37How does any guy get on with his girlfriend's father?

00:55:40They had money.

00:55:41I don't.

00:55:43Did they resent you for that?

00:55:45Did you resent him?

00:55:47Look, I like Elsa for Elsa.

00:55:50I'm not interested in her money.

00:55:52If I was, I wouldn't be struggling through vet college.

00:55:54Do you use mescaline in your work?

00:56:01No.

00:56:04Look, are you accusing me of killing her father?

00:56:08I'll take a lie detector test.

00:56:10I think you've been watching too many American movies.

00:56:14Besides, we're good at detecting lies.

00:56:18I had nothing against her father.

00:56:21What about that convicted murderer in the family?

00:56:27What about?

00:56:32Look, I'm going to have to ask you to stand back.

00:56:35Why?

00:56:38I'm going to give her an objection.

00:56:40She might lash out a bit.

00:56:48Where are you going?

00:56:49I need to take Tommy's Range Rover.

00:56:51Well, be sure to bring it back.

00:56:52That Range Rover stays in my drive.

00:56:55Tommy always felt it made the house safer for me.

00:56:58I just want to borrow it, that's all.

00:57:00I need to see someone.

00:57:03You've never driven for 20 years.

00:57:05It's not a thing you forget.

00:57:10You did the keys, Jimmy.

00:57:21You did the keys, Jimmy?

00:57:23I don't know.

00:57:41Hi, Jimmy.

00:57:58I've got cattle on the bull hill.

00:58:11Hey, what happened to your lady?

00:58:26Dissatisfied client.

00:58:28I decided to get out while I could still hobble.

00:58:31I want a gun, Billy.

00:58:35No.

00:58:37I want a gun.

00:58:39I want a gun.

00:58:41Where did you get that from?

00:58:43A motherlander.

00:58:44That's nice.

00:58:46Go to your gun shop.

00:58:48I don't want a very target pistol.

00:58:50No, they wouldn't give you one anyway.

00:58:51You're just out the neck.

00:58:54This is over the going rate.

00:58:56How do you know?

00:59:00It isn't a matter of money, is it?

00:59:02I want a Smith & Wesson 38.

00:59:05I haven't got any guns.

00:59:07I'm retired, Jimmy.

00:59:09Take the mickey billy, you've got guns.

00:59:12I want one.

00:59:13Grow up.

00:59:15You're too old for this nonsense, and I am too.

00:59:18Look, I haven't got any guns, and if I did have any,

00:59:20I wouldn't sell you one.

00:59:22Why, the police would pick you up in under half an hour.

00:59:28What about your tea?

00:59:35A gun?

00:59:36Christ, you can't even nod your cups, Teddy, these days.

00:59:40I would have a sign of a commission, you know,

00:59:41a trombone truck.

00:59:42But, no place?

00:59:43You doing this is right.

00:59:43You're just looking at me.

00:59:43I close.

00:59:44I love it.

00:59:52Come, come, come, come.

00:59:57Come, come, come.

01:00:01Come, come, come.

01:00:03Come, come, come, come.

01:00:05Oh, my God.

01:00:35Let's go.

01:01:05Let's go.

01:01:35Let's go.

01:02:05Let's go.

01:02:35Let's go.

01:02:36Let's go.

01:02:37One of David's little extravagances.

01:02:39Come for a spin, David.

01:02:41Oh, I don't think so.

01:02:42David has to run me to the supermarket.

01:02:44Oh, we'll have dinner tomorrow.

01:02:46I'll take you out.

01:02:47No, come to us.

01:02:48Bring Mary.

01:02:50Mary?

01:02:51It would be nice for her.

01:02:52Nice car.

01:03:01Yes.

01:03:02It's a birthday present from Mr. Lane.

01:03:04We were just going, unless you need me.

01:03:06No, it's Miss Cato I'll want to see.

01:03:08Tomorrow, at eight.

01:03:15Some birthday present.

01:03:18David's always been like an uncle to me.

01:03:22What did you want to see me about?

01:03:24It was a good turn out of your father's funeral, eh?

01:03:27Yes.

01:03:28He had a lot of friends.

01:03:32It's not only your friends that come to your funeral.

01:03:35He was in business.

01:03:36He's bound to have had enemies.

01:03:38Was he ever threatened?

01:03:42No.

01:03:45You don't seem sure.

01:03:47Why should anyone threaten Dad?

01:03:50Well, somebody hated him enough to want to kill him.
