00:02:24which allows the Mither tongue
00:02:26to ring out loud and proud.
00:02:28Roderick Murray,
00:02:32whose 18th
00:02:34biographical novel,
00:02:36Robert II,
00:02:38shows he's still going strong.
00:02:42Sandy Black,
00:02:44whose hilarious psycho-gothic novel,
00:02:46Karl Luke,
00:02:48both entertains
00:02:50and disturbs.
00:02:52Lady Lucinda Finlay's
00:02:56Blood on the Tweet
00:02:58weaves a magical tale
00:03:00of steel bonnets

00:03:04Ewan Kennedy,
00:03:06The Scheme of Things,

00:03:17from the pen of a man
00:03:18who has returned home
00:03:2018 years after living
00:03:22in the States.
00:03:24His third,
00:03:26and he assures me,
00:03:28the final part of his trilogy,
00:03:30Going Home
00:03:32by Cameron Friel.
00:03:34Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:36I commend to you
00:03:38the finalists of this year's
00:03:40McGregor's Short Red Prize
00:03:42for Scottish Literature.
00:03:46Good grief.
00:03:48It's only a bullet.
00:03:50I think you've spent too long
00:03:52in the States, Mr. Friel.
00:03:54How long were you there, anyway?
00:03:5618 years, Los Angeles.
00:03:58Script writing?
00:04:00Was that lucrative?
00:04:02Made a few, Bob.
00:04:04Came back to Glasgow six months ago.
00:04:06Where did you come back from?
00:04:08Uh, our wedding in Boston.
00:04:10We've been away for a month.
00:04:12So who's trying to frighten you?
00:04:14So who's trying to frighten you?
00:04:16I am the most mild-mannered of men.
00:04:18Now come off it, Cameron.
00:04:20My new book
00:04:22seems to have ruffled a few feathers.
00:04:24The Scorching Critique of Scottish Parochialism.
00:04:27Excuse me, I need that book.
00:04:29Who are you?
00:04:30Sorry.
00:04:31Maggie MacLeish,
00:04:32Professor of Scottish Literature
00:04:33at the University.
00:04:34Maggie's to blame for it all.
00:04:36Sorry?
00:04:37Well, you did ask me to come home
00:04:38and sign a big fat check, didn't you?
00:04:40Oh, Cameron's sponsoring
00:04:41our new Scottish Writing Foundation.
00:04:43The Friel Foundation.
00:04:44The Friel Foundation.
00:04:45A certain cash aid, don't you think?
00:04:46Death threats notwithstanding.
00:04:48Well, I'm sure this has nothing
00:04:49to do with the Foundation.
00:04:51I'm glad you're here
00:04:52because I'm not.
00:04:53That's it, sir.
00:04:55So no one saw who placed the envelope?
00:04:57We've interviewed everyone
00:04:58that was here.
00:04:59Right, go and check the bullet out.
00:05:01Mrs. Friel.
00:05:02I'm sorry your first visit to Scotland
00:05:04has been so negative.
00:05:05We're not like that all the time.
00:05:07Oh, no, I am well aware of that.
00:05:09It's time to get on.
00:05:10Do you want to just keep going, Alec?
00:05:11I'm not.
00:05:12I'm completely naked, Jake.
00:05:13Well, stop off in York, then.

00:20:36I don't even know what it is.
00:20:38Some Victorian pile in Pollockshows?
00:20:40Nah, it's a farmhouse in Lennoxon.
00:20:42Oh, aye, aye.
00:20:44Wall-to-wall scrubbed pine and slate floors, eh?
00:20:50Do you own any firearms?
00:20:55You've an interesting line in elliptical thought.
00:20:58More precisely, a rifle.
00:21:00I have a Kalashnikov in the cupboard and two Uzis in the Jacuzzi.
00:21:03What is this?
00:21:04Someone shot a sheep.
00:21:06Put its head in Cameron Feele's water tank.
00:21:09A sheep?
00:21:11How app is it?
00:21:13Know anything about it?
00:21:14No.
00:21:15Nothing.
00:21:16Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be pissing him if he was on fire.
00:21:19Excuse the vernacular.
00:21:21What have you got against him?
00:21:24Everything and nothing.
00:21:27Second thoughts, I cannae be bothered making you a cup of coffee.
00:21:36I've a deadline to meet.
00:21:38Why are you so hostile, Mr Kennedy?
00:21:41Oh, sorry.
00:21:42You.
00:21:43Me?
00:21:44I'm a militant pacifist.
00:21:46The pen is my sword.
00:21:48Is that why your circulation's for them?
00:21:55Do you take milk?
00:21:56Wait!
00:22:16Nothing visible?
00:22:17Never touched him.
00:22:19So?
00:22:20Jake Kozlewski's just took off in the van.
00:22:23Don't make me get upset, Stephen.
00:22:26It's bad for my ulcer and your throat.
00:22:28Don't worry, Frankie.
00:22:29We'll find it.
00:22:31Drive.
00:22:33We're trying to create something here.
00:22:35Something different.
00:22:36Something Scottish.
00:22:38And Friel isn't?
00:22:40Friel makes his stash writing Alien 6 in Hollywood,
00:22:43then comes over here to lecture us on creative writing.
00:22:46But you've both been nominated for a MacGregor Prize.
00:22:49Aye, right.
00:22:50I'm there to make up the numbers.
00:22:52He's even greased Maggie MacLeish's palm at the uni.
00:22:55Fifty grand gets your own foundation.
00:22:58Didn't stop you applying for a job, though.
00:23:00Lecturer in creative writing, yeah?
00:23:03Let me tell you about creative writing.
00:23:06See these?
00:23:08Bus drivers, housewives, unemployed.
00:23:12Some of it's brilliant.
00:23:14Most of it's mediocre.
00:23:16But even the stuff that's crap deserves a chance to get published.
00:23:19Unlike Friel's recycled pap.
00:23:23You got a first name, constable?
00:23:26Miss.
00:23:28Thanks.
00:23:30Pop down the Scotia one night.
00:23:32Buy you a pint.
00:23:34It's not my scene.
00:23:36Bye.
00:23:37You're at the home of Cameron Teal, controversial author of Going Home, the third part of his trilogy, following the story of Scots writer Cal Minnis over the sea to America and Hollywood, and now back again to Scotland.
00:23:49Nominated of the McGregor's Shortbread Award, the book has produced a furious response because of its blatant criticism of the Scottish literary scene, to the extent that the author is now under police protection.
00:24:00Cameron, your novel describes most of Scottish writing as being, and I quote, inward looking, puerile and parochial, with a core not so much rotten as non-existent.
00:24:10Gosh, did I say that?
00:24:12Indeed you did.
00:24:14So why should we believe that your writing is any different?
00:24:17If I may paraphrase Kipling, winds of the world give answer, they are whimpering to and fro, and...
00:24:25Oh, there he is.
00:24:26Still giving you a headache?
00:24:29Oh, he deserves all he gets.
00:24:32Jean.
00:24:34What is the Shortbread Award?
00:24:36Six books are nominated every year.
00:24:39You vote to say which one you prefer.
00:24:40And you have to buy them.
00:24:41It's a court.
00:24:42It's very prestigious.
00:24:44Oh, I'm sure there is.
00:24:46I'm nipping up to get a share.
00:24:50I'm interested in a wider constituency than most of the stuff that...
00:24:54...masquerades as Scottish literature.
00:24:58It's a symptom of an immature culture.
00:25:02I guess I'm still trying to get it to grow up.
00:25:06Even if it means personal threats against your life?
00:25:09So be it.
00:25:11People say your court controversy is a marketing tool rather than because of any deeply held belief.
00:25:16Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?
00:25:19Slange.
00:25:21Thank you, Cameron.
00:25:22You can meet Cameron Friel and all the other shortlisted authors at the public book signing on Thursday night.
00:25:28Oh, Jim.
00:25:30Before you go tomorrow morning, will you leave me some cash?
00:25:33I've read three of the books, but I want to buy the others.
00:25:36I've only got a couple of cans.
00:25:37That's all I need.
00:25:38Listen, why don't you wait till it'll come out in paperback?
00:25:41That is in paperback.
00:25:43Gene.
00:25:45It's all the hype, these competitions.
00:25:48It has nothing to do with art or literature.
00:25:51It's all bloody swearing.
00:25:52What would you know about literature?
00:25:55The last book he read was the Ur-Wully Annual, 1961.
00:25:591962, actually.
00:26:04He's not going anywhere.
00:26:06Jake, I told you to go. God help me, I'll kill you, Jake!
00:26:08I'll kill you, Jake!
00:26:17Will you be all right?
00:26:19Just go.
00:26:22Just go!
00:26:24So what am I supposed to do, eh?
00:26:31He's not at the mission, he's not at home, and he's not at the university.
00:26:35It was your responsibility, soldier boy, so you better find him in damn quick,
00:26:39or your man will be having a lonely time at the dancing.
00:26:42And don't make yourself comfortable.
00:26:45I'm expecting a visitor, so get on with it.
00:26:47Do you receive my meaning?
00:26:49So...
00:26:52that's it then?
00:26:54You can't pretend to be surprised, Jake.
00:26:57It's been coming for years.
00:27:01Where are the kids?
00:27:03They're at my mum's.
00:27:06Why George Proctor?
00:27:09Why?
00:27:11I really don't think that's any of your business.
00:27:13Then what is my business, eh?
00:27:14Well, maybe if you'd spent a bit more time with me and the kids
00:27:16than saving the world, you might know.
00:27:18I was doing it for us!
00:27:19You were doing it for you!
00:27:22Look.
00:27:24I might as well get this over with.
00:27:28I need a divorce.
00:27:31Can you not just let it rest?
00:27:34Please!
00:27:35No, Jake. Listen to me.
00:27:37I need a divorce.
00:27:40I'm pregnant.
00:27:41You bitch.
00:27:44You bitch.
00:27:47Right then, so I'll just lie down and die.
00:27:49Will you better get on with it, will I?
00:27:50I'm only asking for a divorce.
00:27:52Only?
00:27:54No.
00:27:56Never!
00:27:59You're not getting the kids.
00:28:01Jake, just calm down.
00:28:03You might get a divorce, but I'll be damned if you're getting the children.
00:28:04Don't drag the kids into this.
00:28:07It's you that's doing the dragging.
00:28:09A junkie shacking up with an alcoholic.
00:28:11What?
00:28:12Had a wee joint last night, did we?
00:28:14Get real, Jake.
00:28:15Since when does the odd joint make me a junkie?
00:28:19I doubt the judge will share your liberal views.
00:28:23Get out of here.
00:28:25Get out!
00:28:26Get out!
00:28:28Get out!
00:28:32Malky makes a walk around the world, go around the world, go around the world, go around.
00:28:37Malky makes a walk around the clinking, clinking sound.
00:28:41I'm being poor.
00:28:49Take me to it.
00:28:57Oh, perfect.
00:29:00No quite.
00:29:09If this cash was used for the expansion of the business school, it would mean more overseas students with overseas tuition fees.
00:29:17Listen, hang on here.
00:29:19I have already raised £50,000 a year for the foundation.
00:29:22Now, we were promised that that would be matched pound for pound.
00:29:27And I have raised £250,000 for the business school.
00:29:31Matched pound for pound, that's half a million a year.
00:29:34I have never seen this.
00:29:36They were distributed.
00:29:38I understood Mr Kozlewski had a copy for you.
00:29:41I believe he was supposed to be delivering a paper to us on the viability of the New Writing Foundation.
00:29:46Well, Mr Kozlewski obviously believes he's more important matters to deal with.
00:29:49Look, I have been trying to get in touch with Jake. He has, as you know, been out of the country.
00:29:54Well, unfortunately, if we want to take advantage of this new cash, we need a decision now.
00:29:58I just can't see a way out, George.
00:30:00We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We discussed all the problems.
00:30:02Oh, you can discuss all you like, but it's different when it really happens.
00:30:05He says he's going to get the kids.
00:30:06He is not going to get the kids.
00:30:08He meant it.
00:30:09Look, we'll sort something out.
00:30:14I can't lose the kids, George.
00:30:17I just can't.
00:30:24Jake, where the hell have you been?
00:30:27Leave it!
00:30:29Are you all right?
00:30:30The fish has been looking all over you.
00:30:32I've other things on my mind.
00:30:33Dawson's pulling a flanker. Business studies are trying to grab the extra money.
00:30:37The new Rhine Foundation may not open.
00:30:39Something a lot worse than that might happen.
00:30:41Jake!
00:30:43We've got to talk.
00:30:45Later.
00:30:53No problems, I hope, Maggie?
00:30:54No, nothing we can't sort out.
00:31:04What is he playing at?
00:31:06I don't know. Maybe something happened in Romania.
00:31:09Oh, by the way, McGregor phoned. He's a bit worried about security at the book signing.
00:31:13Book signing? I need that like a hole in my head.
00:31:24Okay?
00:31:26All right.
00:31:27I'll see you next time.
00:31:28Bye!
00:31:30Bye!
00:31:32Bye!
00:31:34Bye!
00:31:41Bye!
00:31:46Bye!
00:31:48Bye!
00:31:52Bye!
00:31:53And as Callum looked, the old woman's slate-grey eyes creased, then narrowed in a smile of
00:32:17knowing this. Secret, she said. Well, I'll tell you a secret, Callum. Women dally in sex looking
00:32:25for love, and men dally in love looking for sex. Oh, Kenny, what are we going to do?
00:32:40But Maggie, I thought it was all sorted out. Are you telling me the government aren't matching
00:32:45the cash? They've moved the goalposts. And Jake's disappeared. He's what?
00:32:53Would you stop the banging for a moment, please? Thank you. What do you mean he's disappeared?
00:33:00He's supposed to be translating my book. Look, that's a bloody least of it. Now, Cameron,
00:33:06don't worry. By the end of next week, we will have everything sorted out.
00:33:10I await the developments with interest. What's wrong? My new writing foundation is
00:33:17in jeopardy. Jake Koslewski's gone AWOL. The publisher is screening it for a translation.
00:33:22Some moron wants me dead. And that bloody plumber is driving me insane. Apart from that, everything's
00:33:28hunky bloody dory. Do you think you could tone down the juice a little?
00:33:38Uh, no. Actually.
00:33:58Secrets.
00:34:16Hello? Jake! What are you like? We've been worried sick about you, man.
00:34:22Aye, well, I'm still in one piece. Well, listen. How long are you going to be there? Or are
00:34:27you going to come back to the mission? That's some unfinished business, Alec. Look, I'll call
00:34:31you later. No! Jake! Jake! Well...
00:34:34Oh! He's back at the house. Right, you. Out!
00:34:44I've been trying to get a hold of you. I've got to talk to you. Things are getting out of hand.
00:34:50In you come.
00:34:52Sir?
00:34:56Any joy with that bullet?
00:34:57No, sir. Could have come from any of half a dozen stalkers.
00:34:59And no more threats to Cameron Friel?
00:35:01Well, it's been three days now. Nothing.
00:35:03Aye. Mind us down.
00:35:05Right, sir.
00:35:08Oh, eh. By the way, Jean thought you might like these.
00:35:10And there's a letter from personnel.
00:35:11Congratulations, Sergeant Lee.
00:35:13Oh, you swines. You rotten swines.
00:35:15Ha!
00:35:16Ha!
00:35:17Ha!
00:35:18Oh, you swines. You rotten swines. Ha!
00:35:19Ha!
00:35:20Ha!
00:35:21Ha!
00:35:22Ha!
00:35:23Ha!
00:35:24Ha!
00:35:25Ha!
00:35:26Thanks.
00:35:27Oh, you swains, you rotten swains.
00:35:49Thanks.
00:35:57Cameron! Cameron! Oh, my God, Cameron!
00:36:07That's it. HF.
00:36:12Antiofletic.
00:36:15Buttons to the feet.
00:36:18That's it.
00:36:19HF.
00:36:21Antiofletic.
00:36:22Acid. HF.
00:36:24Hydrofluoric.
00:36:26Burns through the flesh and attacks the bone. It's worse than nitric.
00:36:30Charming. Get over there now.
00:36:32But he's a-
00:36:33I know, I know, an objectionable sod.
00:36:36I'm not taking any risks.
00:36:38This is past the joke.
00:36:43This is Proctor's Auctions.
00:36:45There's no one here to take your call, but if you leave a message after the tone, we'll get back to you.
00:36:53It's Jake, here.
00:36:56I've been trying to contact you, but it's gone far enough.
00:36:59I have to tell you, I've given it all a lot of thought. I'm going to my lawyers to get it all sorted out.
00:37:04I'm sorry it's come to this. It's too late for anything else.
00:37:13Just say to Jim with regards.
00:37:15What's wrong, Maggie? The favourite throw on a plate?
00:37:22He'll be here.
00:37:24Jerry, I'll weigh and phone and find out what-
00:37:27Camera!
00:37:29Please break that thing down!
00:37:30Certainly!
00:37:31Camera!
00:37:32Right, where are these books then?
00:37:33Right, come on, I'll weigh and sit down.
00:37:35Aye, before you fall down.
00:37:36Aye, I'm in perfect control of my faculties, Mr. Kennedy.
00:37:39Aye, aye, Popeye.
00:37:40You don't think I don't know what you're up to, mate!
00:37:43Jab your finger at me, Freel!
00:37:45Oh!
00:37:46Of course.
00:37:47Oh, Freel, it's real.
00:37:48You're mean, they aren't drunk again.
00:37:50Get off!
00:37:51Try something!
00:37:52You don't think you are!
00:37:53You don't think you are!
00:37:59He'll only be in one night.
00:38:01Then he'll get off with a fine.
00:38:04You know what really attracted me to him?
00:38:07His Scottishness.
00:38:09That's what got him lifted, too.
00:38:11Doesn't seem quite so endearing now, does it?
00:38:16Coffee?
00:38:17I better not.
00:38:18I've got a bit of damaged limitation to deal with tomorrow.
00:38:21The sponsors for the foundation?
00:38:23Yes, they're talking about withdrawing.
00:38:25Plus, I have to track down Jake.
00:38:26Whatever he is.
00:38:30Well.
00:38:33Thanks for the lift.
00:38:38Bye.
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:40Bye.
00:38:41Bye.
00:38:42Bye.
00:39:11Bye.
00:39:12Bye.
00:39:13Bye.
00:39:14Bye.
00:39:23It's okay.
00:39:24He didn't lock up.
00:39:26Is that coffee still on offer?
00:39:28I just don't know what to do.
00:39:30Maureen.
00:39:31Will you stop?
00:39:32I must have talked to Howard.
00:39:33Just give us a minute, will you?
00:39:34I have ranged for everything.
00:39:36What does that mean?
00:39:38It means that there's nothing to worry about.
00:39:40I haven't seen him for two days.
00:39:41He's up to something, George.
00:39:42It's Jake here.
00:39:43I've been trying to contact you, but it's gone far enough.
00:39:44I have to tell you, I've given it all a lot of thought.
00:39:45I'm going to my lawyers to get it all sorted out.
00:39:46The kids.
00:39:47I'm sorry.
00:39:48He's not getting my kids, George.
00:39:49It's too late for anything else.
00:39:50I'm going to have to see him at the house.
00:39:51Look, stay away from there.
00:39:52Let me deal with this.
00:39:53Maureen.
00:39:54Come back.
00:39:55Maureen, for God's sake.
00:39:56I must have brought up.
00:39:57I won't.
00:39:58I won't.
00:39:59I won't.
00:40:00I won't shut up.
00:40:01I must have brought up.
00:40:02Maureen.
00:40:03Maureen.
00:40:04Maureen.
00:40:05I've been trying to contact you, but it's gone far enough.
00:40:07I have to tell you, I've given it all a lot of thought.
00:40:08I'm going to my lawyers to get it all sorted out.
00:40:09The kids.
00:40:10I'm sorry.
00:40:11He's not getting my kids, George.
00:40:12It's too late for anything else.
00:40:13I'm going up to see him at the house.
00:40:14Look, stay away from there.
00:40:15Let me deal with this.
00:40:16Maureen.
00:40:17Come back.
00:40:18Maureen.
00:40:48Maureen.
00:40:51Oh, no.

00:41:41Mr. Friel, Mr. Friel, do you think this will debar you from the award?
00:42:04If the consumption of alcohol debarred great writing, then 90% of Scottish authors would
00:42:10disappear from the bookshelves.
00:42:12Jerry, last night, I need a degree of discretion.
00:42:16Don't worry.
00:42:17Look, have you broached the subject of his drinking?
00:42:20It's the wellspring of my art.
00:42:22I drink, ergo I write.
00:42:24It's crap, of course.
00:42:25I keep saying I'll get help, but I...
00:42:27Here he comes.
00:42:28Jerry!
00:42:29Trisha!
00:42:30Jerry been looking after you, then?
00:42:32Get in the car!
00:42:34Move over, babies, daddy's driving.
00:42:37Well, Michael, get them out of here.
00:42:40Oh, come on, lads, come on!
00:42:41Right, sir, we're over here.
00:42:44So how did we find him?
00:42:46A patrol car spotted the van speeding, flagged it down.
00:42:50A police counsellor Peters got banjoed with a jack handle.
00:42:53Is he all right?
00:42:54He's in for observation, sir.
00:42:56What about the driver?
00:42:58Well, I've got no real description.
00:43:01Male, mid-thirties, blonde hair, grey jacket.
00:43:04Took off one foot.
00:43:05Super.
00:43:06Get me a mark.
00:43:08Excuse me, would you be careful not to contaminate the locusts?
00:43:11We've not had a check till we get.
00:43:13I don't think we've met, have we?
00:43:15It's a miscalhooly, sir.
00:43:17Drisco's office.
00:43:18Oh, right, right, thanks for your advice.
00:43:24Where the hell did they find them?
00:43:26Morning!
00:43:27Morning!
00:43:29Morning, Chief Inspector.
00:43:31Permission to board?
00:43:33Oh, it's all yours, Stephen.
00:43:35Don't contaminate the locusts.
00:43:37Heaven forfend!
00:43:39Good, sir.
00:43:46Right.
00:43:47Now, if he's on foot, he's still in the moor.
00:43:49I want stop points here, here, and here.
00:43:52And then search.
00:43:54Oh, well.
00:43:55Lovely day for that.
00:44:05What are we working on?
00:44:07Oh, it's, um, it's a facsimile of the original Kilmarnock edition.
00:44:11Jerry got it for me at school.
00:44:13University.
00:44:14What?
00:44:15Not school.
00:44:17University.
00:44:19Care to join me?
00:44:21It's a mite early for me, dear.
00:44:25Oh, by the way, Jerry left a scarf.
00:44:29Bit nippy this morning, was it?
00:44:31I guess.
00:44:35Have you done a fingernail sample, Doctor?
00:44:41Mm-hmm.
00:44:42Blood?
00:44:43Yes.
00:44:44How about urine?
00:44:45Rather than take the urine, I am at present attempting to ascertain the degree of rigour in order that I can estimate the time of death of this unfortunate life.
00:45:01So how about letting me get on with it?
00:45:03I'm only ensuring that the Crown Office guidelines on the gathering of forensic evidence are adhered to.
00:45:13I'm delighted to hear it, because I wrote the blessed guidelines. Now, back off.
00:45:31Back off.
00:45:36Right, sir.
00:45:37We've a nice fat thumbprint on this.
00:45:39And there's one that matches on the rear view mirror.
00:45:41Well done.
00:45:43If he's got form, we'll get a name pretty soon.
00:46:01Look, I'm sorry, Maggie. I don't know where these damn papers are.
00:46:17What the hell is he playing at?
00:46:19Does he want us to close down or something?
00:46:22Close down?
00:46:23Maggie!
00:46:24Oh, we're good.
00:46:27You all right?
00:46:29The menu was a bit limited, but the crack was great.
00:46:32So, who's closing down?
00:46:34No one.
00:46:35Maggie?
00:46:36Oh, well, all right, all right.
00:46:39It's a free foundation money.
00:46:42Business studies is trying to get its claws on it, and the court meeting decides today.
00:46:47Put up 50 grand and they'll match it, you said.
00:46:49Yes, I know, I know, but I thought that I was dealing with honest people, and it turns out that they are not.
00:46:55They have a noble jake, are they?
00:46:57Well, I wouldn't put anything past, past Dawson and her mob.
00:47:03Dawson? Who's Dawson?
00:47:05Professor of Retail Distribution.
00:47:07Oh, right.
00:47:08Oh, by the way, Gerry, you forgot your scarf.
00:47:27Oh, my God.
00:47:40Oh, my God.
00:47:44Oh, my God.
00:48:19The door was open.
00:48:31The lock was broken.
00:48:33I know.
00:48:34Jemmied.
00:48:35Looks like somebody was...
00:48:36I only came to see where Jake was.
00:48:37Did you think he'd be in the desk?
00:48:39No, Maggie needed some papers.
00:48:41Maggie.
00:48:42Professor MacLeish.
00:48:44Jake took them on Tuesday.
00:48:46It was meant to be a meet this afternoon.
00:48:47This is awful.
00:48:49So's your luck.
00:48:50Trouble seems to be following you around.
00:48:52What's that meant to mean?
00:48:53Well, first the threat's to Friel.
00:48:55Now this.
00:48:55It's got damn all to do with me.
00:48:58Is this Mrs Kislewski?
00:49:00Kislewski?
00:49:01Aye, she's not here.
00:49:03She just walked out on him.
00:49:04When was this?
00:49:06Sometime this week.
00:49:07Jake was one of the best, you know, a great bloke.
00:49:10Do you have any idea who we might find, Mrs Kislewski?
00:49:12Well, she works as an alcohol counsellor.
00:49:15She has an office somewhere in town.
00:49:17Listen, I was lucky to get out of there.
00:49:20Some guy showed up, then the police.
00:49:22What the hell does the police know about this?
00:49:24I'll go back and ask, eh?
00:49:25You found nothing in the house.
00:49:26Cleaner than a gifnick mill ball.
00:49:27Get them out of here.
00:49:28Oh, come on, man.
00:49:29Come on.
00:49:29The body of university lecturer Jake Kozlewski
00:49:34has been found inside this van here on Fennec Moor.
00:49:38Strathclive police are anxious to trace the whereabouts of the van
00:49:41during the past week.
00:49:41Right, I'm off.
00:49:42Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:49:44Take my ma to a tea dance.
00:49:45You're going nowhere, sunshine.
00:49:48I just can't take this in.
00:49:51When did you last see him?
00:49:54Three days ago.
00:49:55Tuesday.
00:49:57Where has he been since then?
00:49:59I don't know.
00:50:02He phoned me yesterday.
00:50:04And how was his mood?
00:50:07We, eh, we know there's been a recent change in your circumstances.
00:50:11How diplomatic.
00:50:13Was there another party involved?
00:50:16What are you getting at?
00:50:19At the moment, we have a suspicious death.
00:50:21We need to look for motives.
00:50:23This has nothing to do with George.
00:50:26Well, then we can eliminate him from our inquiries.
00:50:28Find out who it is to do with.
00:50:30Fine.
00:50:33Fine.
00:50:36Would you mind telling me where you were last night between six and ten?
00:50:39Air at my mother's.
00:50:42Last three days, as a matter of fact.
00:50:45And George?
00:50:46He was there too.
00:50:47I think we'd better go down to the station, Mrs. Koslewski.
00:51:02So?
00:51:02Cheers.
00:51:03Yeah, D.I. Jarden.
00:51:16Chief Inspector Taggart will be with you in a minute.
00:51:19We might have a name for you.
00:51:20George Proctor.
00:51:21Who's that?
00:51:23Oh, he's the wife's fancy, man.
00:51:24He's a car auctioneer.
00:51:26We're getting a fingerprint sample to check.
00:51:29How's the weather?
00:51:31You got any suntan lotion?
00:51:34Oh, thanks, I'm out.
00:51:36Proctor's phone, sir.
00:51:37Prince Matt.
00:51:40Right.
00:51:41Get round to Mrs. Koslewski's work.
00:51:44The alcohol place.
00:51:46Proctor may get lonely and phone her there.
00:51:51Mrs. Koslewski?
00:51:53Yes.
00:51:54Yes, we love.
00:52:02Cheers.
00:52:10It's Jake here.
00:52:12I've been trying to contact you, but it's gone far enough.
00:52:15I have to tell you, I've given it all a lot of thought.
00:52:18I'm going to my lawyer's to get it all sorted out.
00:52:20I'm sorry it's come to this.
00:52:22It's too late for anything else.
00:52:32Anything to add?
00:52:35No.
00:52:39All right, Sergeant.
00:52:40Get down to here.
00:52:41Pick her up.
00:52:42Right, sir.
00:52:43Here?
00:52:45We'll have to bring your mum in.
00:52:46My mother?
00:52:48But she has nothing to do with this.
00:52:50She swears blind that she never saw George Proctor.
00:52:54That you were on your own with the kids.
00:52:57But...
00:52:58Yeah, don't worry.
00:52:59We'll get the truth out of her.
00:53:03No, no, wait a minute.
00:53:06Do you want to change this?
00:53:10George wasn't there.
00:53:13Well, where was he?
00:53:14I don't know.
00:53:16George said he was going to sort things out, but I...
00:53:23Jake was going to a lawyer to get the kids.
00:53:28I couldn't.
00:53:30I just couldn't.
00:53:33Hang on, hang on.
00:53:37Right.
00:53:39I'm all ears.
00:53:39That's the phone for you now.
00:53:50Cheers, mate.
00:53:51Thanks.
00:53:53Hello, central drop-in centre.
00:53:56Can I speak to Maureen, please?
00:53:58She's not around at the moment.
00:54:01Can I ask who's calling, please?
00:54:03Is that you, George?
00:54:05It doesn't matter.
00:54:07Look, is she there?
00:54:09Hang on.
00:54:10I'll see if I can find her.
00:54:11Look, if she's not there, just tell her I called, will you?
00:54:15She might be round the back.
00:54:16Just a moment.
00:54:17I'll go and have a look.
00:54:19Look, it doesn't matter.
00:54:21I'll call back later.
00:54:24It's a call box at Fort Lorman.
00:54:26Move it.
00:54:27Move it.
00:54:51Look, Coach, parties.
00:54:52Aye, very good.
00:54:53Who was the last person who used the public phone?
00:54:55A guy through the bag.
00:54:56Have you got a degree in a bleeding office?
00:55:09How you doing?
00:55:10No, I think so.
00:55:12Listen, you know, it's getting late here and we were wondering if...
00:55:16Oh, I'm sure you're dead keen to keep on searching.
00:55:19Well, actually, we can call it off.
00:55:23What?
00:55:24He just walked in here with his lawyer.
00:55:31And he said he'd see to it that she lost the kids.
00:55:34Well, Maureen was just cracking up.
00:55:37So I went over to see him.
00:55:39And he was there in the back of his van.
00:55:43Well, I tried to reason with him, you know, but he just wasn't having any of it.
00:55:48And he brought out a knife.
00:55:49He threatened me with it.
00:55:50There was a bit of a struggle and I tried to get it off him.
00:55:56But he fell over onto it.
00:55:58And he just looked at me.
00:56:02Never said nothing.
00:56:05He just looked at me.
00:56:08It was all very peaceful, really.
00:56:11Then he closed his eyes.
00:56:14So I bundled him up and I drove him away.
00:56:17I don't know where the hell I was going.
00:56:18And then the police stopped me.
00:56:23And I panicked.
00:56:25And I hit the policeman.
00:56:29That's it.
00:56:33Where's the knife?
00:56:35I washed it and I put it back in the kitchen drawer.
00:56:38I'm sure you've all heard the news by now.
00:56:49It does, of course, cast an entirely new light on things.
00:56:53I'm not with you, Maggie.
00:56:55Well, naturally, with Jake's death, all decisions about the allocations of money should be held in advance.
00:57:02Yes, agreed.
00:57:03I'm sure we all share your thoughts, Maggie.
00:57:05With respect, Principal, I also sympathise at this sad time.
00:57:10But while we wait in abeyance...
00:57:13A man's dead, for God's sake.
00:57:14And if the decision is delayed, the money goes elsewhere.
00:57:18Why not ask your friends in the supermarket business?
00:57:21She can say what she likes.
00:57:23But we have to match the product to the marketplace.
00:57:26We don't need writers.
00:57:28We need entrepreneurs.
00:57:30Product?
00:57:31A marketplace?
00:57:31This is an academic institution, not a...
00:57:36Drag yourself into the 20th century, Maggie.
00:57:39I move.
00:57:40We go straight to the vote.
00:57:43Consensus would seem to be the best way forward.
00:57:45But since there seems to be none,
00:57:48all those in favour of the grant going to the new business school?
00:57:55Six.
00:57:55And against?
00:58:00Sex.
00:58:02Oh, dear.
00:58:03No abstentions.
00:58:04May I point out, Principal,
00:58:06that this money does have a time element attached to it.
00:58:09If we delay now...
00:58:10Yes, yes, yes.
00:58:10I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:58:25Well, I'm not leaving it like this.
00:58:26This is an outrageous decision.
00:58:28It puts my whole department at risk.
00:58:30Oh, not necessarily.
00:58:31Oh, well, thanks for your overwhelming endorsement.
00:58:34What am I going to tell Cameron?
00:58:35If you...
00:58:36Maggie, I've said I'm sorry.
00:58:38I have the one o'clock shuttle to catch.
00:58:40Let's connect later, shall we?
00:58:42John, who are you working?
00:58:44Here's facts, Maggie.
00:58:45Business school will bring in thousands.
00:58:47Creative writing work.
00:58:48Oh, is that all that matters?
00:58:50Oh, yes.
00:58:51Grow up.
00:58:53At a press conference earlier this evening,
00:58:55Strathclyde police revealed that George Proctor,
00:58:57a 35-year-old car auctioneer,
00:58:59had been formally charged with the murder
00:59:01of university lecturer Jaszek Kozlewski.
00:59:04Proctor, well-known at the Clyde car market,
00:59:07was described by fellow auctioneers...
00:59:08I'm making a big mistake.
00:59:09What do you mean, Hamish?
00:59:11...and was said to be well-liked.
00:59:12The principal of the university...
00:59:13What's that, Cameron?
00:59:15Hamish?
00:59:17Hamish!
00:59:20But we're hopeful that this latest development...
00:59:21What was all that about?
00:59:22...an end to the fear causing...
00:59:23I don't know.
00:59:24...and the speculation surrounding Kozlewski's death.
00:59:30What's it, Lawrence?
00:59:31I didn't think they'd let me see you so soon.
00:59:33...innocent until proved guilty.
00:59:38How are you?
00:59:39How are you, for God's sake?
00:59:41The jacuzzi was freezing this morning.
00:59:44Come here, you two.
00:59:47George, I...
00:59:48Oh, shush.
00:59:49I'm doing the right thing.
00:59:51I know I am.
00:59:52Now, the lawyer reckons...
00:59:55...he can get it reduced to culpable homicide...
00:59:58...and murder's mandatory life.
01:00:00You're learning quick.
01:00:01You're talking to a roommate.
01:00:04Now, you just have to keep quiet, all right?
01:00:06How can I do that?
01:00:08I'm worried sick.
01:00:10But you keep quiet.
01:00:11You say nothing.
01:00:11You understand.
01:00:12No.
01:00:13No, I don't understand.
01:00:16Everything's coming down around my ears.
01:00:20Why?
01:00:21Why did you do it?
01:00:23I should have thought about it.
01:00:24It was obvious.
01:00:26The kids.
01:00:27The kids?
01:00:28And what chance have they got now?
01:00:30For God's sake, I don't ask much...
01:00:31...but a bit of gratitude might help at least.
01:00:34You're mad.
01:00:35Maury.
01:00:36You've gone out of your trolley.
01:00:37Look, sit down.
01:00:38Think of the kids.
01:00:39Oh, the kids.
01:00:40So what do I tell them?
01:00:42Your new daddy's killed your old daddy.
01:00:44Get her out of here.
01:00:46Get her out of here!
