00:06:31Shut up.
00:06:32I'm fed up with this.
00:06:33I'm fed up with all this.
00:06:34Hiding around and sneaking about.
00:06:36Yes, I am perfectly calm.
00:06:39I'm absolutely in full command of all my faculties.
00:06:42Look, please.

00:07:02Ah!
00:07:04Lola.
00:07:05Lola!
00:07:07Ah!
00:09:07I thought you said the pay was terrible at the PF's office.
00:09:26Oh, it is.
00:09:29I take bribes.
00:09:31And didn't I mention that?
00:09:32No.
00:09:33Do you think you did?
00:09:34Oh, yes.
00:09:35But only big ones.
00:09:37And only from the very smartest crooks.
00:09:39Well, that's a relief.
00:09:42No, no, no.
00:09:43Oh.
00:09:44No.
00:09:46Oh.
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:51Oh.
00:09:55Oh, my God.
00:10:25Rules are made to be broken, no?
00:10:33No, thanks, all the same.
00:10:35You know, I see you as a bit of a challenge, Inspector.
00:10:55I see you as a bit of a challenge, Inspector.
00:11:25Did he get the wrong end of the stick about you?
00:11:36Who's that?
00:11:38Well, Sterling, of course.
00:11:39You're bleeping, Inspector?
00:11:56Hell.
00:12:00Can you use your phone?
00:12:01Mm-hmm.
00:12:02It's Sarah Price, Michael.
00:12:27Where is she?
00:12:35Ah, evening.
00:12:37Stephen.
00:12:43Annual bar association dinner.
00:12:45I've been hobnobbing with our colleagues in the legal profession.
00:12:48You're not the only one.
00:12:52Shot nine times in all.
00:12:55Medium calibre, low-velocity rounds.
00:12:58Shot from quite close range, but the grouping's all over the place.
00:13:01This sounding familiar at all?
00:13:04Same as a Hancock, Cullen.
00:13:05Almost identical, I would say.
00:13:08Any chance of an approximate time of death?
00:13:09Well, judging by the skin temperature, lividity, and the progress of rigour, I'd say about, uh...
00:13:17Ten past midnight.
00:13:20Sorry, Doctor.
00:13:21We had a witness.
00:13:22If you can call him that.
00:13:31Dad?
00:13:33Do you know what time it is?
00:13:35Dad, listen.
00:13:35Where the hell do you think you've been, eh?
00:13:37At Michelle's, working on our biology project, all right?
00:13:40Lying little...
00:13:43Ruth.
00:13:47Ruth.
00:13:49I'm sorry.
00:13:49I'm sorry.
00:13:52So, we've got a probable male, height and build uncertain, age uncertain, colour of hair uncertain.
00:13:59Possibly wearing a dark-coloured overcoat.
00:14:02Mind you, I couldn't swear to the overcoat.
00:14:05And you think the car was some kind of estate?
00:14:08One of those long things.
00:14:10Lots of windows, aye.
00:14:11The thing is, I was concentrating on the tie to Alba.
00:14:15Yes, so you said, sir.
00:14:16Beautiful bird.
00:14:17Just beautiful.
00:14:19Pure white plumage in the belly, a blaze of colour in the back.
00:14:22Big jet black eyes and the tiniest of wedge-shaped tails.
00:14:27Unique.
00:14:27Quite unique.
00:14:28Well, it's a pity the bird's not our suspect, isn't it?
00:14:32Right.
00:14:33There's no keys to be found.
00:14:44You think the killer might have taken them?
00:14:48Nichols?
00:14:49Call in.
00:14:50Get a car round to Sarah Price's house.
00:14:52Tell him to be alert for an intruder.
00:14:54Right, sir.
00:14:55Any joy?
00:14:56Well, if he did any film in the camera.
00:14:58Inspector?
00:14:59Looks like a murder weapon, sir.
00:15:01Cheers.
00:15:01Baretta semi-automatic.
00:15:06Serial number 3478-842-106.
00:15:13Ring any bells?
00:15:17My gun, you say?
00:15:19Yes, sir.
00:15:20I did love her once, believe it or not.
00:15:38Mr. Price, I'm sorry to have to ask you this.
00:15:42Actually, I called her round to Sarah's place last night.
00:15:50I was looking for Ruth, but there was nobody there.
00:15:56When was this?
00:15:5811.
00:15:5911.30.
00:16:00Can, er, can anyone confirm that?
00:16:07Actually, there was someone there.
00:16:09A girl I haven't seen for ages.
00:16:12Abby Clark.
00:16:14Used to share a flat with Sarah when they were students at art school.
00:16:17But when I spoke to her, she just ran off.
00:16:24Any idea how we can get in contact with her?
00:16:27No.
00:16:28Like I say, it must be 14, 16 years since I've seen her.
00:16:32I presume your daughter returned home eventually.
00:16:39Oh, yeah.
00:16:41I got back around midnight, and she was already in bed.
00:16:46She'd been working on some school project round at a friend's place
00:16:49and just hadn't bothered telling me.
00:16:51Well, you know what kids are like.
00:16:54Well, if we could just have a quick word with her.
00:16:57Er, no.
00:16:59Please.
00:17:00I'd just like to spend some time with her alone first.
00:17:06I should be the one to break it to her.
00:17:09Sure.
00:17:16To be honest, I can't say I'm entirely surprised.
00:17:20She never struck me as the type who'd have any problem making enemies.
00:17:24Did she ever mention anyone in particular?
00:17:27Hi.
00:17:30This is Malcolm.
00:17:33DC Fraser.
00:17:36Do you want some coffee?
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:40Thanks.
00:17:40You know the old joke.
00:17:48How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?
00:17:52It doesn't matter.
00:17:53The important thing is that the light bulb wants to change.
00:17:57Well, that was Sarah.
00:17:59She didn't want to change.
00:18:01She was a control freak.
00:18:02And whenever she felt that control starting to slip, it terrified her.
00:18:07And she lashed out.
00:18:10Hence the attack on her husband when he asked her for a divorce.
00:18:11Well, obviously someone doesn't want us to know what she was working on.
00:18:25But assuming the killer and the person in the painting are one and the same,
00:18:29it kind of rules out Lloyd, doesn't it?
00:18:30I mean, why would she be painting him?
00:18:33Look, try and see if you can track down this clap woman that Price was on about.
00:18:37If she did go to the Glasgow School of Arts, you should be on record there.
00:18:40Right.
00:18:41We found this on the floor of the bedroom, Sarah.
00:18:55And you said you thought she might have been having an affair.
00:19:01Well, that was my impression, yes.
00:19:04She liked to drop little hints, you know.
00:19:06But then again, she never mentioned anyone specific.
00:19:10No.
00:19:11No, sorry.
00:19:15I can't help you, though.
00:19:31Ruth?
00:19:32Leave me alone!
00:19:34Stick this together for me, would you?
00:19:52Oh, sir.
00:19:54Get a big board, some glue and stick it together.
00:19:57Yes, sir.
00:19:59Don't look so miserable, Stuart.
00:20:01It's just like a big jigsaw.
00:20:04I hate jigsaws.
00:20:10I'm off then, doctor.
00:20:11Good night.
00:20:12Good night, Christine.
00:21:43Yes, read.
00:21:50I think we've got something, Michael.
00:21:53Abby Clark got married in June 1983.
00:21:57And you're not going to believe this.
00:21:59The groom was a young advocate called Robert Sterling.
00:22:04Sterling?
00:22:13Abby?
00:22:31Ready?
00:22:37Abigail!
00:23:01Oh, my God.
00:23:31Oh, my God.
00:24:01Oh, my God.
00:24:14Probable cause of death, multiple gunshot wounds.
00:24:19Secondary injuries indicating the subject has been carried a considerable distance downstream.
00:24:24Glorious morning, Michael.
00:24:29Stephen.
00:24:30Well, you look as though you could do with a breath of sea air.
00:24:34Tyler MacLennan.
00:24:37No wonder she didn't make her train.
00:24:46Christine?
00:24:47No.
00:24:48No.
00:24:48Oh, my God.
00:25:18Call in, will you?
00:25:22We'll need a forensics team to check out Isla McLennan's houseboat.
00:25:26Oh, and when you're finished here, get in touch with your pal, Dr. Argyle.
00:25:31I want Sarah Price's case next, all right?
00:25:33Right, sir.
00:25:34Oh, and Fraser, if he gives you any more of this bullshit about patient confidentiality,
00:25:40you just remind him that his patient's dead, all right?
00:25:42So, who'd want to kill Isla McLennan?
00:25:50If you'd asked me 24 hours ago, I'd have put my money on Sarah Price.
00:25:53But now...
00:25:55We're running out of suspects, Jackie.
00:25:57I think it's time we gave Mrs Abigail Sterling a visit.
00:26:00Don't you?
00:26:01Oh, well, it's about time.
00:26:09You do realise we called you nearly two hours ago?
00:26:12Sorry.
00:26:13It's all right, Christine.
00:26:14I'll look after this.
00:26:19Of course, I knew Isla McLennan only vaguely.
00:26:22She was always Sarah's friend.
00:26:24And you haven't seen her since art school?
00:26:26No, why should I have?
00:26:27Thank you, Mary.
00:26:28That'll be all.
00:26:31Help yourself to cream and sugar, would you?
00:26:35I presume I can rely on you to be discreet.
00:26:39This is a murder inquiry, Mrs Sterling.
00:26:41I'm afraid we can't give you any guarantees.
00:26:44It was a car accident.
00:26:47The winter of 1978.
00:26:52A family friend had a cottage up in the Chossacks.
00:26:54A group of us would go out there for the occasional weekend.
00:26:58Well, you can imagine.
00:26:59Students.
00:27:00A certain amount of drink was taken and so forth.
00:27:04And one night on the way back,
00:27:06the car went off the road
00:27:08and the owner, a boy called Jeremy Stewart, was killed.
00:27:13But it was just an accident.
00:27:16Oh, yes.
00:27:17But you see, Jeremy wasn't driving that night.
00:27:19I was.
00:27:21And because I wasn't covered by the insurance,
00:27:23we lied.
00:27:24Well, I dare say the police had their suspicions,
00:27:27but as a judge, my father was not without influence.
00:27:30And the whole sad little affair was covered up.
00:27:35Stupid.
00:27:36A stupid, stupid mistake.
00:27:38Because Sarah was also in the car.
00:27:41Well, yes.
00:27:41It wasn't the accident, you see.
00:27:45It was...
00:27:46If the press had got on to it,
00:27:49the scandal,
00:27:50the faintest hint of judicial corruption
00:27:53would have destroyed my father.
00:27:55Are you saying that Sita was blackmailing you?
00:27:57There was never anything blatant about it.
00:28:00She was always far too clever for that.
00:28:04But just occasionally she'd ask me for a loan.
00:28:07A hundred, two hundred.
00:28:07I don't think it was the money that interested her.
00:28:11What she really wanted was the power.
00:28:15It was just an awful polite sort of sadism,
00:28:18if you see what I mean.
00:28:21And then,
00:28:23after all these years,
00:28:25to have the same nightmare starting up again,
00:28:28the little hints about Robert's career,
00:28:31it was quite unbearable.
00:28:33That, er...
00:28:38That night you went to the studio, Mrs. Stirling,
00:28:41what did you intend to do?
00:28:43To be honest, I'm not entirely sure.
00:28:46Pay her, I suppose.
00:28:48I thought if I could just keep her quiet
00:28:50until Robert's appointment was confirmed.
00:28:55Oh, well.
00:28:56I don't deny it.
00:28:58I'm glad she's dead.
00:29:00But I didn't kill her.
00:29:01In the event,
00:29:05it was all rather an anti-climax.
00:29:07She wasn't there,
00:29:09so I simply came straight home.
00:29:13And you believe her?
00:29:14Yes, sir.
00:29:15I think I do.
00:29:16I mean, she didn't even know Hancock.
00:29:19And unless she and Price are both lying,
00:29:21well,
00:29:22it's hard to see how either of them
00:29:24could have got to that picnic site by midnight.
00:29:27Anyhow,
00:29:28the list takes report
00:29:29says that the same gun was used
00:29:30in all three murders.
00:29:33The thing is, sir,
00:29:35Sarah was a blackmailer.
00:29:37It's possible Mrs. Stirling
00:29:39wasn't her only victim.
00:29:40So maybe we should be looking for the others.
00:29:43Garb?
00:29:46Sorry, sir.
00:29:46Dr. Andrews says the PM results are ready.
00:29:50Tell them I'll be right over.
00:29:53So what are you proposing?
00:29:56I want to go through Sarah Price's finances
00:29:58with a fine-tooth comb.
00:30:00Trace every payment that could be blackmail.
00:30:03All right.
00:30:03I'd, uh...
00:30:07I'd also like to interview Robert Stirling.
00:30:10Michael.
00:30:11Look, he worked in the Hancock case
00:30:12for two months.
00:30:14Now, if she was holding something back,
00:30:16I think he would have known about it.
00:30:20Very well.
00:30:21Tread carefully.
00:30:24He's to be elevated
00:30:25to the High Court bench tomorrow,
00:30:26and we don't want enemies there, do we?
00:30:28Have you got a minute?
00:30:36Sure. What's the problem?
00:30:38It's Dr. Argyle.
00:30:39His office was done over this morning.
00:30:42How do you mean done over?
00:30:43Graffiti on the walls
00:30:44and this sort of hanging effigy.
00:30:46You know, really weird.
00:30:48Have they reported it?
00:30:50They know who did it, apparently.
00:30:52According to Argyle,
00:30:53it was the father of an ex-patient with a grudge.
00:30:55The kid was a depressive.
00:30:56Killed himself.
00:30:57But I don't know.
00:30:59The more I think about it...
00:31:00Check it out.
00:31:01Do you think I should?
00:31:03Rule number 43, Stuart,
00:31:04never ignore a hunch.
00:31:06How's the portrait coming, by the way?
00:31:08I got Consuel Pierce to take care of that.
00:31:10She's got a degree in art history
00:31:12and she likes to do jigsaws.
00:31:15Ah, the gentle art of delegation.
00:31:18You're learning.
00:31:19You're definitely learning.
00:31:20Of course, there's no way to be absolutely precise
00:31:29about the time of death,
00:31:30but I'd say she's been in the water about 72 hours.
00:31:34I would make her a full two days before she had a price.
00:31:37Hmm.
00:31:37By the way,
00:31:40I've been going through my notes on the price case
00:31:42and it strikes me there's a head wound
00:31:45with one or two interesting features.
00:31:48Fired from much closer range than the others, you see.
00:31:52Notice the slight blackening around the entry point.
00:31:55No more than 10 or 12 centimeters
00:31:57and angled quite sharply upwards.
00:32:00So?
00:32:00Well,
00:32:01if you'd showed me that in isolation,
00:32:03I'd say it was more characteristic
00:32:05of a close quarter struggle
00:32:06or
00:32:07suicide even.
00:32:09You're not trying to tell me she's short or self?
00:32:11Hmm, hardly.
00:32:14Are you saying there could be a different killer?
00:32:16Deduction's your job.
00:32:18What I'm telling you is
00:32:19that it seems to break the pattern, that's all.
00:32:24Andrews?
00:32:25Ah, Jackie.
00:32:28Yes, he's here.
00:32:30Yeah?
00:32:33It's forensics, Michael.
00:32:35You think they've got something?
00:32:37Michelle and Zoe to go down to London.
00:32:39Michelle, listen to me.
00:32:40What?
00:32:41There's something I've got to do later on.
00:32:43I don't want my dad knowing.
00:32:45Will you cover for me?
00:32:46Why, what is it?
00:32:48I swear you won't tell him.
00:32:49Okay.
00:32:50No, I swear.
00:32:56It's a bullet.
00:32:57I missed probably.
00:32:58Just nicked the edge of the door.
00:33:00It's a nine millimetre.
00:33:01Probably fired from a barretta.
00:33:03You can tell all that just by looking.
00:33:05Afraid not, Inspector.
00:33:06We found a couple of ejected cartridge cases
00:33:08wedged between those four boards there.
00:33:10So that'd be where the shots were fired from, yeah?
00:33:12Right.
00:33:13If she was killed here,
00:33:14shouldn't there be blood?
00:33:15Oh, there is, aye.
00:33:17Scattered throughout this sort of area here.
00:33:19But only my new droplets.
00:33:20It's interesting, though.
00:33:22I reckon she went straight over the edge.
00:33:24Aye, do you mean?
00:33:26Okay, she's inside, right?
00:33:27Packing, by the looks of it.
00:33:29Someone turns up.
00:33:30So she brings them in.
00:33:32Well, there's no sign of a struggle.
00:33:34They, maybe they have a chat.
00:33:36Anyway, your shooter is standing.
00:33:39Just where you are now.
00:33:41Bang!
00:33:41Bang!
00:33:42Your victim runs to the door.
00:33:44Another half a dozen quick shots.
00:33:45Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
00:33:46Well, the impact of that would be terrific.
00:33:56Very good.
00:34:00You just showed us that last bit again.
00:34:06This is Ruth Price.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:10I want to meet you.
00:34:14Listen, I know who killed my mother.
00:34:16And I know why.
00:34:19So, unless you want me to go straight to the police,
00:34:22it's going to cost you, right?
00:34:29Mr. McRae?
00:34:30Racha, way to hell!
00:34:37I know about your son, Mr. McRae.
00:34:40I'm very sorry.
00:34:42What am I doing sitting here, then?
00:34:43Breaking and entering.
00:34:44Criminal damage.
00:34:45Threatening behaviour.
00:34:47They're serious charges.
00:34:49You must realise that.
00:34:51Listen, do I know you?
00:34:56Teffa?
00:34:59Hi.
00:35:01I'll be with you in a second.
00:35:03Sorry, are we interrupting something?
00:35:06No, no.
00:35:07How are you?
00:35:08Hi.
00:35:09You?
00:35:10And the case?
00:35:13Oh, well, you know, we're proceeding with our inquiries.
00:35:17I'm glad to hear it, Inspector.
00:35:19Tessa?
00:35:23Well, look, give me a call, okay?
00:35:25So I told the old buffery should have done that in the first place.
00:35:38Mr. Stilling.
00:35:40Inspector, this is a surprise.
00:35:43And Sergeant Reed, isn't it?
00:35:45Sir?
00:35:45Well, I do hope I'm not parked on a yellow line or something.
00:35:49No, sir.
00:35:51We were hoping we could have a word about Sarah Price.
00:35:54Aye.
00:35:54Yes, I read about it, of course.
00:36:00Tragic business.
00:36:02Quite tragic.
00:36:05As I understand it, Terry was referred to Dr. Argyle by the social services.
00:36:10Is that right?
00:36:11Aye.
00:36:11Well...
00:36:13Suffering from severe depression?
00:36:15There was nothing wrong with the boy.
00:36:17He just got a bit down sometimes.
00:36:19His mother's the same.
00:36:21He tried to kill himself once before, though.
00:36:23Who told you that?
00:36:25Did Argyle tell you that?
00:36:27Well, I'll tell you something about so-called Dr. Bloody Argyle.
00:36:30He's a pervert.
00:36:32He's got a boy in that house of his.
00:36:34They're living together.
00:36:35I've seen them.
00:36:36I would have thought his personal life's his own affair.
00:36:38Aye, you would.
00:36:39Well, I'm telling you there was nothing wrong with the boy
00:36:41to have that pervert got a hold on him.
00:36:43What exactly do you claim he did to Terry?
00:36:45What's the matter?
00:36:46Are you not listening?
00:36:47He perverted him.
00:36:49He got him believing he was one of them.
00:36:52You mean gay?
00:36:53Bent.
00:36:54Aye.
00:36:56Well, I soon put a stop to that.
00:36:58What does that mean?
00:36:59I stopped him going there.
00:37:01Tried to knock a bit of sense into the boy.
00:37:05I see.
00:37:07Well,
00:37:08any decent father would have done the same.
00:37:11And it was after that that he killed himself.
00:37:14What are you trying to say?
00:37:17Thanks.
00:37:18I think I've got the picture.
00:37:19You tried to say it was my fault?
00:37:21I'm not responsible.
00:37:25You just get that straight.
00:37:27It's that filthy bastard or guy who should be sitting in here, not me.
00:37:32Let me be quite clear about this.
00:37:34What you're saying is that Mrs. Price
00:37:37might have knowingly withheld information about the killer
00:37:40in the hope of extorting money from him after the trial.
00:37:44Is that correct?
00:37:45We have to consider that possibility.
00:37:48Yes.
00:37:49You must have got to know her pretty well, sir.
00:37:52You never suspected she might be involved in Blackburn.
00:37:54Good heavens, no.
00:37:56And I hope you're prepared to substantiate that allegation, incidentally.
00:37:59Because if you're pursuing some kind of grudge...
00:38:01Oh, no, sir.
00:38:02Our informant on this one is 100% reliable.
00:38:06Well, nevertheless, the idea's absurd.
00:38:11She was facing a murder charge, for heaven's sake.
00:38:14She'd have to be quite insane.
00:38:16Or just confident you'd get her off, anyhow.
00:38:19I'm flattered, I think.
00:38:23I can only say she never gave any hint of such knowledge
00:38:26during our preparation for trial.
00:38:28Well, abetting the concealment of a crime
00:38:30has never been part of the advocate's job description, Inspector.
00:38:35Police opinion to the contrary.
00:38:38Now then, if you'll excuse me,
00:38:40I have a little celebration planned.
00:38:43Of course.
00:38:44Thanks for your time.
00:38:46Congratulations on your appointment, by the way.
00:38:49Yes, thank you.
00:38:52He's lying.
00:38:55Michael.
00:38:55No, she was up to something.
00:38:59He knew about it.
00:39:01Are you sure you aren't still just the tiniest bit miffed
00:39:04about what happened in court?
00:39:10Michelle.
00:39:11Where's Ruth?
00:39:13I thought she was with you.
00:39:18Where is she?
00:39:20I can't...
00:39:21I promise I wouldn't tell anyone.
00:39:23So you got landed with it, did you?
00:39:30Sir.
00:39:42Very good.
00:39:44Right, thanks very much.
00:39:51Sarah Price's bank statements.
00:39:54We've traced about half the cheques so far.
00:39:56Mainly commission and gallery advances.
00:39:58This might be a bit hopeful, though.
00:40:00They're cash payments.
00:40:01Presumably made in person.
00:40:03Fairly regular.
00:40:03Okay.
00:40:06Check them against their guile's case notes.
00:40:09See if Sarah mentioned meeting anyone on those dates.
00:40:11Right.
00:40:13What about the other thing, by the way?
00:40:15Waste of time.
00:40:16McCray's a bit of a monster.
00:40:17Probably drove the kid to it.
00:40:19Just a bad case of guilty conscience.
00:40:21Michael.
00:40:23Michael.
00:40:26Airport security are sending over their videotape from their surveillance camera for Thursday night.
00:40:32I thought it might be worthwhile taking a look for some familiar faces.
00:40:35Award, please, Inspector.
00:40:43Tickets, please.
00:40:44Yes.
00:40:46Yes.
00:40:46Tickets, please.
00:40:55Tickets, please.
00:40:59Tickets, please.
00:41:01Tickets, please.
00:41:05Tickets, please.
00:41:16All right.
00:41:18What happened with you and Sterling?
00:41:21Nothing, as far as I know.
00:41:22That is not the way I heard it.
00:41:25I am told that you barged in and practically accused him of complicity in blackmail.
00:41:31A senior QC, a high court judge as of tomorrow.
00:41:37Quite apart from the fact, which you appear to have overlooked,
00:41:40that Sarah Price is no longer a suspect in this case, but a victim.
00:41:45Wait a minute.
00:41:46You're telling me you got this from Sterling?
00:41:48No, Michael.
00:41:49I got it from the assistant chief constable.
00:41:52But it doesn't take a genius to know where he got his information.
00:41:55As far as I'm concerned, I just asked the man a couple of simple questions, that's all.
00:41:59One minute.
00:42:25One minute.
00:42:27One minute.
00:42:28Oh, my God.
00:42:58Hang on.
00:43:03What?
00:43:06This.
00:43:10Right, what is it, Stuart?
00:43:17Good evening. How can I help you?
00:43:21No, I'm sorry. Dr Argyle's already left.
00:43:24Well, look, the thing is, I'm supposed to be having dinner with David tonight,
00:43:27but I appear to have missed Lady's address.
00:43:29Hang on a second. I'll just get it for you.
00:43:31Oh, would you?
00:43:33I'd be most grateful.
00:43:37Right, Michael, just look at the dates.
00:43:42Every one of these payments was made the day after one of Sarah's sessions with Argyle.
00:43:47You're saying she was blackmailing Argyle?
00:43:49Well, sir...
00:43:50No, forget it. Tell me in a way.
00:43:57I'll get it.
00:44:04Where is he?
00:44:05What?
00:44:06Where is he?
00:44:07Right?
00:44:12Get him.
00:44:13Up.
00:44:14Up.
00:44:17Get off him!
00:44:20No!
00:44:22Leave him alone!
00:44:23Get off him!
00:44:30Where is he?
00:44:53Get up.
00:44:54Right.
00:44:59Got in the ball.
00:45:11Right.
00:45:12This is your last chance.
00:45:14Where is she?
00:45:15I'm going to count to three.
00:45:16One.
00:45:17Please.
00:45:17Two.
00:45:18Listen to me.
00:45:19Three.
00:45:20Where is she?
00:45:21Malcolm, calm down.
00:45:22Calm down.
00:45:23Calm down.
00:45:24He's got my daughter, and I'm not leaving here without her.
00:45:27I don't even know his daughter.
00:45:28He's lying.
00:45:29Lloyd.
00:45:30Lloyd.
00:45:31Calm down.
00:45:32He killed Sarah.
00:45:34Ah.
00:46:04Ruth told Michelle that she was going to meet her mother's killer.
00:46:26She's got one of my pistols.
00:46:27She's here.
00:46:28She's not here.
00:46:29She's lying.
00:46:32Look.
00:46:33Look.
00:46:35She had dozens of them.
00:46:38Sarah was blackmailing him.
00:46:39That's why he killed her.
00:46:41No, he couldn't have.
00:46:42He was here that night with me.
00:46:44Shut up.
00:46:45He's lying.
00:46:46I will get the truth out of him.
00:46:49You can count on it.
00:46:51But your daughter's obviously not here.
00:46:53Is she?
00:46:57Why don't you just give me that?
00:46:59I won't get this whole thing sorted out.
00:47:04I won't get this whole thing sorted out.
00:47:04She'll get it.
00:47:12I can't.
00:47:17Why don't you kill me?
00:47:22Why don't you kill me?
00:47:23I don't know how she found out.
00:47:53She must have overheard me talking to Terry on the phone and followed us.
00:47:58Why didn't you tell me about this?
00:48:00I didn't know you then.
00:48:01That's not the point.
00:48:02It was your patient, David, for God's sake.
00:48:12Jackie.
00:48:17She's at the infirmary.
00:48:24Looks like a deliberate hit and run.
00:48:26Oh, God.
00:48:27What's happening?
00:48:30It's Ruth, isn't it?
00:48:32Mr. Price, I'm afraid there's been an accident.
00:48:35Accident?
00:48:36What do you mean, accident?
00:48:37Where is she?
00:48:38She's alive.
00:48:39That's all we know.
00:48:40Right, come on, I'll take you to the hospital.
00:48:50You're gonna have to come down to the station.
00:48:52Give us a formal statement.
00:49:01All right.
00:49:02I'm not going anywhere.
00:49:04Just tell them the bloody truth this time, okay?
00:49:19I started following Sarah in the same way that she must have followed Terry and me.
00:49:31I don't know why.
00:49:36I had some vague idea of getting something on her, I suppose.
00:49:46I saw her going into Hancock's office that night, and when I heard about the murder, I just assumed.
00:49:58So it was you that made that anonymous telephone call?
00:50:01What else could I do?
00:50:04If I'd come forward openly, she'd have sent the pictures to the medical council, and that would have been it.
00:50:13Will I be charged with something?
00:50:16I doubt it.
00:50:18Ah, unless there's more that you haven't been telling us about, of course.
00:50:22No.
00:50:24I swear.
00:50:34So what happens now?
00:50:36You can go home.
00:50:39How is she?
00:50:53Critical.
00:50:54And unlikely to regain consciousness for a while yet, if at all.
00:50:59What was she playing at, for heaven's sake?
00:51:02All we know is what she told her friend.
00:51:04That she'd seen her mother's killer at the studio, and she wanted to make him pay.
00:51:07Blackmail, you mean?
00:51:08No, sir.
00:51:09I imagine that's what the killer was meant to think.
00:51:12I think she wanted revenge.
00:51:15Do you still think Stirling is hiding something?
00:51:43was hiding something well if he isn't why has he been so defensive you know
00:51:50that's been our problem all along hasn't it people lying to protect their
00:51:55precious careers the legal mafia have been the worst of the lot have our
00:52:01relations with the legal mafia tell us you mean I have no idea

00:55:36So it was, Sarah.
00:55:37But if she killed Isla MacLennan, God almighty.
00:55:43Piers, get me Dr. Andrews.
00:55:50Sterling.
00:55:51That's Robert Sterling.
00:55:52Look, there's his handkerchief.
00:55:54So Sarah and Sterling were lovers?
00:55:56Yeah.
00:55:57Sir.
00:55:58Hello, Stephen.
00:56:01Yes, Michael Jarden here.
00:56:03I need to know what time you left the Bar Association doing Thursday night.
00:56:07And Robert Sterling?
00:56:10You're sure about that?
00:56:13It could be vital.
00:56:15Right.
00:56:16Thanks very much.
00:56:17Take Piers.
00:56:18Get over to Sterling's house.
00:56:19Come on.
00:56:20You're coming with me.
00:56:21What are we looking for?
00:56:22A car, Jackie.
00:56:23The car he ran down Ruth Pricewood last night.
00:56:27What time is this damn ceremony anyway?
00:56:32Does it really matter?
00:56:34Well, I don't know about you, Fraser, but I don't fancy being the first cop in Scottish
00:56:39history to arrest a high court judge for murder.
00:56:44Thank you,wig, up to him.
00:57:06Sorry, sir, you pack it for us, will you?
00:57:24Mr. Stirling?
00:57:25What the hell do you think?
00:57:25Can we have a word, please?
00:57:27In private, sir.
00:57:32Oh, I thought you were the taxi.
00:57:34Something wrong with the Volvo, Mrs. Stirling?
00:57:36You seem to be forgetting that I was at the Bar Association dinner in Edinburgh
00:57:42the night that Mrs. Price died.
00:57:44Yes, but according to Dr. Andrews, you left before 11 o'clock.
00:57:48Now, that would have given you plenty of time to get to the picnic site by midnight.
00:57:52Now, that's hardly evidence, is it?
00:57:55It seems to me you've got no proof of this at all.
00:57:58Oh, I think we have.
00:58:00With the statement that Ruth gave us earlier.
00:58:02Sorry?
00:58:04Ruth Price.
00:58:05The girl you knocked down last night.
00:58:07Surely you can't have forgotten that.
00:58:09She's going to be fine, by the way.
00:58:11She's still in shock.
00:58:13Concussion.
00:58:13A couple of cracked ribs.
00:58:15She told us everything.
00:58:17About seeing you at the studio.
00:58:20And then phoning you at home to arrange to meet.
00:58:24Studio?
00:58:25Robert, sorry to butt in, but people are starting to wonder.
00:58:31Not now, sir.
00:58:32No, it's all right.
00:58:35You'd better hear this, Jonathan.
00:58:38I'm going to need you.
00:58:39You're right, of course.
00:58:46Sarah and I were lovers.
00:58:49Briefly.
00:58:51But I didn't get a call from any girl.
00:58:54And I wasn't capable of driving myself home, let alone running anyone down.
00:58:58Oh, my God.
00:59:06Abby.
00:59:22Sarge.
00:59:23Sarge.
00:59:23Mrs. Finley.
00:59:42It was madness, of course.
00:59:46The portrait.
00:59:49I should never have let her talk me into it.
00:59:51Then the whole thing was sheer bloody madness from the start.
01:00:03There was something about the woman.
01:00:07Something dangerous.
01:00:13That can be so attractive.
01:00:16Don't you find?
01:00:21Mrs. Sterling.
01:00:35She called me a few days after the trial.
01:00:38Insisted that we met.
01:00:41Well, I was planning to finish it anyway.
01:00:43But when I told her, she started screaming, and she pulled out a gun.
01:00:49Well, I realized that she'd been guilty all along, and I was standing there with a madwoman.
01:00:55Well, I panicked.
01:00:57I just panicked.
01:01:00I made a grab for the gun, and it went off.
01:01:06Well, it was self-defense.
01:01:07Surely you see that.
01:01:10Yes.
01:01:10Surely you see that.
01:01:10Surely you see that.
