00:02:29I don't know.

00:03:29What did you think?

00:03:36Hmm, too stripy.

00:03:42That one?

00:03:44Ah, that's pleasant, but, er, I couldn't live with it.

00:03:50Ta-da!

00:03:51I think I'd have to see it at a different light.

00:03:56Yeah, but of the three, that's my favourite.

00:03:58Yeah.

00:04:00Mine, too.

00:04:01Just wanted a second opinion.

00:04:05Are you forgetting we're on nights?

00:04:08I'd like to.

00:04:10I'd love to get started in this place.

00:04:12Oh, very highbrow.

00:04:19Broadens the mind.

00:04:20All right, all right.

00:04:44All right.

00:04:46Now, listen, is that your other half?

00:04:49How long have you been together?

00:04:51Three weeks.

00:04:52Did he always pick his nose, or is that something you taught him?

00:04:58Oh, I should have stayed in Edinburgh, you know.

00:05:01But they do say that travel broadens the mind, and I've been around.

00:05:05I left my heart in San Francisco, my knees in Amsterdam,

00:05:09and my tongue's been that many places of things.

00:05:11That's Katie.

00:05:12Are you being sad?

00:05:17Ask me if I know what you're doing.

00:05:19I'll check this out.

00:05:22I want to tell you where to look right.

00:05:25I know what you're going through.

00:05:28Hi, Willie.

00:05:31Are you asking for it wearing that in here tonight?

00:05:35Well, maybe I'll get it then.

00:05:37Don't listen to him.

00:05:38You look gorgeous.

00:05:39So where's Brian?

00:05:40On the sofa?

00:05:41Well, actually, he's meeting me here.

00:05:43Good.

00:05:44He needs to get out more.

00:05:45That's what I keep telling him.

00:05:46And where's your other half tonight?

00:05:49Retail management evening classes.

00:05:51Well, that's what he tells me.

00:05:53It's ten o'clock.

00:05:54I think you've been screwed up as well.

00:05:56You better not.

00:05:57I know.

00:05:58He goes for a drink afterwards with these retail students, right?

00:06:01And they sit around, they talk about shop fittings.

00:06:04You see too much of each other anyway.

00:06:06If Gordon and I had lived a hundred miles apart, we might have stayed married.

00:06:10So you go and check out the frocks.

00:06:11Why not?

00:06:11Anybody had six numbers in the lottery yet?

00:06:18Five?

00:06:19Four?

00:06:20Yeah.

00:06:20In that case, I'll have a large gin and tonic, please, doll.

00:06:24I love a rich man.

00:06:25Our polythene palm over here, she looks like she could do with one.

00:06:29Could certainly do with something.

00:06:30Oh, would you take a look at that?

00:06:32It's the Masons.

00:06:34Quick, you do in the front.

00:06:35Row up your trouser leg.

00:06:37Look, you didn't need to dress up for me, doll.

00:06:39I'm not that grand.

00:06:41Here, is that your feather?

00:06:42No.

00:06:44Oh, it must be somebody's feather.

00:06:47Did you wander in here by mistake or something, Ben?

00:06:50What?

00:06:50What was that?

00:06:52Oh, you thought this was an Odd Fellows convention.

00:06:54You're damn right about that.

00:06:58Listen, I feel a song coming on.

00:07:00Hi, Bertha, will you hit that tape for me?

00:07:02This is a wee number for that lovely boy that's buying me that gin and tonic.

00:07:05Thank you very much.

00:07:06Thank you very much.

00:07:10Love to be a lady tonight.

00:07:14Love to be a lady tonight.

00:07:18Love to be a lady tonight.

00:07:20Love to be a lady tonight.

00:07:24Love to be a lady tonight.

00:07:30Don't let me out of your side.

00:07:34Stick with me, lady.

00:07:36I'm the girl that you can't let wear.

00:07:38Love to be a lady.

00:07:40Love to be a lady.

00:07:41Love to be a lady tonight.

00:07:43Love to be a lady tonight.

00:07:54I'm the girl that you can't let her out on the street.

00:08:09I've let her out on the street by mistake.

00:08:11We've gone the wrong way.

00:08:12She's drifting about.

00:08:13We've all seen this.

00:08:14Girls drifting about in the traffic, unattended.

00:08:18She's didn't know where to go.

00:08:19Alan, what have you done?

00:08:20Is this the discotheque?

00:08:22Help me.

00:08:23I can hear a stagecoach.

00:08:25gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.

00:08:29Be?

00:08:39Oh, Brian!

00:08:40They did the decorating very cheaply.

00:09:08Yeah, it was about half the price of...

00:09:11You were off duty.

00:09:12I'm just going home, sir.

00:09:15Perhaps you'd like Strathclyde Police to pay your telephone bill as well, eh?

00:09:19Look, I'll speak to you later. Bye.

00:09:27Night, sir.

00:09:28Fraser!

00:09:30Yes, sir?

00:09:31You wouldn't be moonlighting, would you?

00:09:33Moonlighting, sir?

00:09:34Another job.

00:09:35Where would I find the time to do that?

00:09:37Well, some people do.

00:09:39They usually have rings around their eyes as well.

00:09:41I'd just stay up late and read.

00:09:43Look, I'm not interested in your personal life.

00:09:45Just get some sleep.

00:09:49DS Reed?

00:09:51Yeah, got that.

00:09:53Michael?

00:09:55Bangles are quite spelling nights.

00:09:57Yes.

00:09:58There's been a murder in Kelvinside.

00:10:10I think it's quite a couple of things, aren't we?

00:10:12I'm not waiting.

00:10:13Death was caused by strangulation, probably from behind.

00:10:22I'd say he fell on the floor and then was dragged up onto the bed and then stripped naked.

00:10:28Was he sexually assaulted?

00:10:30No visible evidence of it.

00:10:32Interestingly, the body seems to have been washed clean.

00:10:37Normally the bladder empties itself.

00:10:39What was he strangled with?

00:10:41Well, to judge from the width and appearance of the mark, I'd rule out ties, dressing gown cords or rope of any kind.

00:10:49A scarf, perhaps?

00:10:55It's been warm.

00:10:57Not scarf weather.

00:11:00There's no possibility of it being one of those auto-erotic self-asphyxiation things that went wrong.

00:11:07Well, it's not easy to knock yourself on the head, strangle yourself and then dispose of the evidence, but I'll consider it.

00:11:15Just covering the less than obvious.

00:11:17How can you be so sure that his clothes were taken off after he was strangled?

00:11:24His shoelaces are still tied.

00:11:28A sign of forced entry.

00:11:30What do you think?

00:11:31Lovers quarrel.

00:11:32Fairly typical of these kind of relationships.

00:11:35You mean heterosexual couples don't quarrel?

00:11:38You know what I mean.

00:11:43Detective Inspector Michael Jarden, Mr Gardner.

00:11:45This is my colleague, Detective Sergeant Reid.

00:11:50Who could have done this?

00:11:52We were kind of hoping that you might tell us.

00:11:55Well, I came home and found him.

00:11:57He was supposed to meet me at the Wallace.

00:11:59That's a gay bar on Argyle Street.

00:12:02But I thought maybe he couldn't be bothered.

00:12:04He couldn't always be bothered, you see.

00:12:06He suffered from arthritis in his fingers, which is why he gave up playing.

00:12:11He was a musician like me.

00:12:13Oh, sorry, I'm talking too much, but I feel I have to.

00:12:17What exactly was your relationship to him?

00:12:22Well, he was my other half.

00:12:25We'd been together 40 years.

00:12:28So who's his next of kin?

00:12:30Well, I am.

00:12:32You mean a blood relative?

00:12:34Well, he has a daughter, Angela, but we don't see much of her.

00:12:38Mr Gardner, perhaps you'd be more comfortable talking down at the station?

00:12:47Well, thank you.

00:12:55Mr Gardner, when did you last see Brian?

00:12:59Tonight at tea time.

00:13:01We had tea together at Angel's Cafe.

00:13:04And what time did you leave him?

00:13:06About half past six.

00:13:09I left to go to the concert.

00:13:12He was going to watch it on television and meet me at the Wallace later.

00:13:17When you left the concert hall, did you go straight to the Wallace?

00:13:20Yes.

00:13:22Well, you could ask Jamie. I met him there.

00:13:25Who's Jamie?

00:13:27Jamie Johnson.

00:13:28He's a friend.

00:13:31You's or Brian's?

00:13:33Of both of us.

00:13:35If we wanted to speak to him now, where would you find him?

00:13:39Oh, he'll be at Club Eros now.

00:13:42He'll be there till about four in the morning.

00:13:45And how would we recognise him?

00:13:48Oh, that's easy.

00:13:50He's wearing a T-shirt with an angel on it.

00:13:53He's got an angel on it.

00:14:23Everybody starts one way or the other, so check out my message to you.

00:14:26As a matter of fact, I go, let nothing hold your back, but the Scatman can't do it, so can you?

00:14:30Everybody's saying that the Scatman's taste is a dozen of the Scatman's taste.

00:14:34But what you don't know, I'm going to tell you right now that this dummy on the scat is the same for you.

00:14:37I'm the Scatman.

00:14:42I'm the Scatman.

00:14:44Why should we be busy and if politicians do the job changes is you get the cool?

00:14:48The state of the condition insults my intuition, and it only makes me crazy and I'm a heart like me.

00:14:51Everybody starts one way or the others, so check out my message to you.

00:14:55As a matter of fact, I'll let nothing hold your back, but the Scatman can't do it, so can you?

00:14:58I'm the Scatman.

00:15:01Where's the Scatman?

00:15:05I'm the Scatman.

00:15:06I'm the Scatman.

00:15:10Jimmy Johnson.

00:15:21I hope you don't think Gerald did anything to do with it.

00:15:49What was the nature of your friendship with you?

00:15:55They were just the first two people I met when I came out on the scene.

00:15:59I couldn't believe they'd been together so long.

00:16:03They helped me come to terms with a lot of things.

00:16:06What things?

00:16:09Being 18 and gay.

00:16:11That was enough.

00:16:12Was it purely on a friendship basis?

00:16:14Do I look like I'm into elderly couples?

00:16:20They were just really great guys.

00:16:24They were devoted to each other.

00:16:27Okay, they had their bits on the side, but...

00:16:29Bits on the side?

00:16:31What bits on the side?

00:16:32Just like most couples.

00:16:33They never rowed about them.

00:16:35How do you know?

00:16:36Look, I just know...

00:16:37If Gerald had killed Brian, he'd have been devastated.

00:16:42Not laughing and joking.

00:16:45Ask Phoebe at the bar.

00:16:47She spoke to him too.

00:16:50Is that me then?

00:16:53What do you do for a living, Jimmy?

00:16:57I run the go west gay and lesbian bookshop in Howard Street.

00:17:00If we need to speak to you again, we'll contact you there.

00:17:03It's okay.

00:17:05All my family know I'm gay.

00:17:16What a scam!

00:17:17What a scam!

00:17:45What a scam!

00:17:59I'm scared.

00:18:06I'm scared.

00:18:08Michael and I had to go to Club Eros last night.

00:18:25It's a new gay disco.

00:18:26Oh, is it?

00:18:28It's just off Royal Exchange Square.

00:18:30It's absolutely packed.

00:18:35What's that?

00:18:35It's all their yesterdays.

00:18:50What have you got there?

00:18:52An address book.

00:18:54That's as good a place to start as any.

00:19:05Where's my dad?

00:19:11Mr. Dryman.

00:19:14Well, that's him.

00:19:15So what do you intend doing about it?

00:19:32Well, his friend is helping us with our inquiries.

00:19:34Friend?

00:19:35That man wrecked my parents' marriage.

00:19:38In what way?

00:19:39He was always there.

00:19:41He was always Uncle Gerald.

00:19:42Uncle Gerald this.

00:19:43Uncle Gerald that.

00:19:45We never even had a holiday without Uncle Gerald.

00:19:47How old were you when you found out?

00:19:49Sixteen.

00:19:50The same year Mum died.

00:19:52I bloody needed psychiatric treatment, I can tell you.

00:19:55Don't exaggerate.

00:19:57I'm not exaggerating.

00:19:58I found them in each other's arms on the day of the funeral.

00:20:03It wasn't the day of the funeral.

00:20:04It was long after that.

00:20:05That's not what matters.

00:20:07What matters is that man.

00:20:09I can't even say his name.

00:20:11He had just said it.

00:20:12Oh, I'd love to stand up in court and tell my story.

00:20:16I really would.

00:20:16Like I said, Mrs. Dryman.

00:20:18He's just helping us with our inquiries at the moment.

00:20:22Your father's mother's still alive, I believe.

00:20:24She's psychogeriatric.

00:20:25She doesn't even know what day it is.

00:20:27That's what it all did to her.

00:20:29When you release his body for burial, I want to be kept informed.

00:20:32Where's the next of kin?

00:20:33You will be.

00:20:34Here's my card.

00:20:35I work at the DSS.

00:20:37Whatever happens, I don't want that man arranging the funeral.

00:20:48You think he just chose to murder his partner after 40 years.

00:20:52Is that it?

00:20:52People do murder their partners after that length of time.

00:20:57Marjorie and I have been tempted.

00:20:59Yes, sir.

00:21:00Everyone has rows.

00:21:02If they were a married couple and it was his wife we found naked and strangled,

00:21:06he'd be the first person we'd have to eliminate.

00:21:09You don't expect me to treat him any differently just because he's gay, do you?

00:21:12That's an excellent point.

00:21:14Thank you, sir.

00:21:14So, he leaves the concert, drives home, strangles his partner, strips him naked,

00:21:22goes to the wallace and behaves as though nothing's happened.

00:21:26All in half an hour?

00:21:27It's just possible he could have done it any time.

00:21:30Thanks.

00:21:32Fraser, wait.

00:21:34It could have been a row that was brewing for days, for all we know.

00:21:36In my experience, there are people who are capable of complete detachment.

00:21:41An excellent point too, sir.

00:21:42Forty years.

00:22:00I can't get my relationships to last forty minutes.

00:22:03How did you know Gerald and Brian?

00:22:05Through Jamie.

00:22:06They were sort of guardian angels to him when he came out on the scene.

00:22:09Did you mix with them much?

00:22:10Did you ever hear them have arguments about anything?

00:22:14Plenty of times.

00:22:15Terrible arguments they used to have.

00:22:18Over which conductor did the best Malar Five or something like that.

00:22:21Real relationship-breaking stuff.

00:22:23So nothing more serious than Malar Five?

00:22:26Well, I met them in the supermarket once,

00:22:28squabbling over which colour a loo roll to buy.

00:22:31But then who doesn't come across these crises in their lives?

00:22:34Look, if you're holding Gerald, you're wasting your time.

00:22:38You can let us be the judge of that.

00:22:39They never rode about anything.

00:22:42Not like us.

00:22:43We're always arguing.

00:22:44Been together longer than forty minutes then?

00:22:47Six months, actually.

00:22:49Just one other thing.

00:22:52Why do they call it the Pink Pound?

00:22:53Because the Pink Pound is paying for all this.

00:22:56Sorry.

00:22:58You are?

00:22:59Stephen Harding.

00:23:01Can I help you?

00:23:01I own the Pink Pound and the Go West bookshop

00:23:09and the hairdressers across the street.

00:23:12Look after the Twinkies and they'll look after your pocket.

00:23:15Twinkies?

00:23:16Twin income note kids.

00:23:18Any businessman who doesn't recognise the profits

00:23:20to be made out of the gay community has to be blind.

00:23:22So, you'll be familiar with the Caffey Bar Angels?

00:23:26I own that too.

00:23:27Follow me, I'll take you there.

00:23:35And three cappuccinos.

00:23:36Our specials are steamed cow's liver,

00:23:41le pain chalceur, which is rabbit cooked with mushrooms,

00:23:44sliced chicken with fig cooked with cinnamon and coriander seeds,

00:23:47red mullet with chives cooked with double cream,

00:23:50and quail with fresh tarragon served with grapes.

00:23:53I'll just have a coffee, thank you.

00:23:56Yeah, me too.

00:23:57We have six kinds of coffee.

00:23:59Mocha, Kenyan, Colombian, Viennes with fig,

00:24:01Green Mountain or Black Russian.

00:24:03Just a cappuccino, thank you.

00:24:05I'll try a Viennes with fig.

00:24:08One of them for me too.

00:24:10Thanks, Robert.

00:24:12Nice place.

00:24:15I wanted to give gay people non-tacky places to meet,

00:24:18like they've got in San Francisco or Amsterdam.

00:24:21Do you think it'll take off in Glasgow?

00:24:24Sure, why not?

00:24:26In fact, I'm opening a bar soon next door.

00:24:29That'll be something a wee bit different.

00:24:31Mr Harding?

00:24:32Stephen.

00:24:32Where?

00:24:33Please, call me Stephen.

00:24:36We're investigating the murder of a Mr Brian McGill.

00:24:39He and his partner ate here yesterday, early in the evening.

00:24:43Robert?

00:24:44He'll know.

00:24:49Can I help my bone, please?

00:24:50A Brian McGill and some other guy.

00:24:52Were they in here yesterday evening?

00:24:54The two old guys, the musicians.

00:24:56And they often come in here about three times a week.

00:24:58One of them was going off to play in a concert.

00:25:02Did they leave together?

00:25:03I think so.

00:25:05Yeah, yeah, yes, they did.

00:25:06They did.

00:25:07Did you hear what they were talking about?

00:25:09They didn't talk.

00:25:10They just read the newspapers.

00:25:11That's what they do mostly when they're in here.

00:25:13Read the newspapers.

00:25:17Get your order.

00:25:19Does that satisfy you?

00:25:21Oh, yes.

00:25:23My women's intuition's just had a boost.

00:25:28Do you have a ladies I can use?

00:25:30Sure.

00:25:30It's next to the gents.

00:25:45You seem very young to be a detective.

00:25:51Sorry.

00:25:56Grandma, you're not taking it in.

00:26:00Brian's dead.

00:26:03Do you understand that?

00:26:05He was murdered.

00:26:07The police think by that man he lived with.

00:26:11All those men.

00:26:15Brian's in prison, you know.

00:26:17He robbed a bank.

00:26:21He didn't rob a bank, Grandma.

00:26:23He's not in prison.

00:26:25He lived with that man, Gerald, remember?

00:26:27And then he went there, and he saw all those men.

00:26:33It was Gerald who went to prison, Grandma, 40 years ago.

00:26:38When Dad was married to Mum.

00:26:40Remember?

00:26:44Brian's...

00:26:46He won't be coming to see you anymore, Grandma.

00:26:51Grandma, we'll come and take you to Brian's funeral, okay?

00:26:54Oh, that would be nice.

00:26:58How is it you always get a reaction out of her?

00:27:01Charisma.

00:27:03Everyone we spoke to said the same thing.

00:27:06They never argued.

00:27:07They were a devoted couple.

00:27:09The greatest passion in their lives was music.

00:27:11I'm inclined to agree.

00:27:13And three hours before the murder was committed,

00:27:15they were sitting in Angel's Cafe, reading newspapers.

00:27:19So, what do we conclude?

00:27:20Picked up a stranger and brought him home?

00:27:22Well, there's lots of places he could have done that.

00:27:25From what you've told me, there are now a lot more.

00:27:28That's the wrong attitude.

00:27:29We need the full cooperation of the gay community.

00:27:31The last thing we want to do is to put their backs up.

00:27:34That's an excellent point, sir.

00:27:35I just don't like these kind of cases.

00:27:46Well, at least you admit you're prejudiced.

00:27:49I'm not prejudiced.

00:27:51I'm sorry, but that's what it sounds like to me.

00:27:53I just think these relationships are unnatural, aren't you?

00:27:57That's quite a narrow viewpoint, if you don't mind me saying so, sir.

00:28:00Yeah, well, it happens to be my viewpoint, Fraser.

00:28:02I'm not apologising for it.

00:28:04Right, I'm off.

00:28:07Oh, by the way,

00:28:09did I hear you talking about decorators doing your flat up cheaply?

00:28:13Eh, yes, sir.

00:28:14Mine needs doing up badly.

00:28:16Who are they?

00:28:18They're just a couple of guys.

00:28:20They're called cowboys.

00:28:22I hope they're not.

00:28:26Well, come on.

00:28:29What's their number?

00:28:30What's their number?

00:28:34Hello, I'm Mick.

00:29:03And this is my colleague, Roger.

00:29:04Aye.

00:29:05Cowboys, at your service.

00:29:07Here early.

00:29:08Come on.

00:29:12Oh, Ben.

00:29:13I've just moved in.

00:29:14I can see that.

00:29:16Yeah, right.

00:29:17Well, what I'd like is a quote for the whole house.

00:29:19Paper in here in the bedroom and paint everywhere else.

00:29:22Oh, this is the paper for this room.

00:29:26Wow, that's very nice.

00:29:27How did you hear about us?

00:29:28You came recommended by a colleague.

00:29:30I say we do most of our business.

00:29:32Word of mouth.

00:29:33Satisfied customers.

00:29:33You'll find us completely professional.

00:29:35And very tidy.

00:29:37Good.

00:29:38I'll, uh, I'll go and get dressed then.

00:29:40You can measure up in the bedroom, eh?

00:29:52It must have come as a terrible shock.

00:29:54I just hope he didn't know what was happening.

00:29:57Do the police know anything yet?

00:29:59Well, they're talking to everybody.

00:30:01They think Brian might have picked somebody up and brought him back to the flat.

00:30:05Do you think that's what he did?

00:30:07I don't know.

00:30:10I've written out a list of his favorite hymns.

00:30:13Oh, he hated the morbid ones like Rock of Ages.

00:30:18Well, Love That Will Not Let Me Go, that was his favorite.

00:30:21You've no objection to We'll Meet Again?

00:30:24It's very popular.

00:30:26Now, a lot of our musician friends will want to pay their respect,

00:30:29so I thought a string quartet would be nice.

00:30:33That sounds most appropriate.

00:30:35I don't want any pretenses, Ian.

00:30:39No evasions.

00:30:40Of course.

00:30:41Another job landed?

00:31:02He's nice.

00:31:03That's all first.

00:31:04And there's a wrong bell I ring in, a wrong note I sing in.

00:31:14Nobody does it like me.

00:31:17There's a problem.

00:31:18I duck it.

00:31:19I don't solve it.

00:31:20I just muck it up.

00:31:22Nobody does it like me.

00:31:25And so I try to be a lady.

00:31:27I'm no lady.

00:31:28I'm a fraud.

00:31:29And when I talk like I'm a lady, what I sound like is a fraud.

00:31:34And there's a wrong way to get a guy.

00:31:36The right way to lose a guy.

00:31:39Nobody does it like me.

00:31:43Nobody does it, no.

00:31:45Nobody does it, no.

00:31:47Nobody does it like me.

00:31:50Follow that.

00:31:51Can I have your attention for a moment?

00:32:04I promise not to spoil your fun.

00:32:06My name is Detective Inspector Jarden from Maryhill Police Station.

00:32:10Show us your light stick.

00:32:11As you know, a regular customer of this bar was found murdered two nights ago.

00:32:18So we need to speak to as many of you as possible, in case someone saw him.

00:32:23We believe he may have met a stranger at any of the well-known picking up places in the city.

00:32:29I have a team of detectives with me tonight.

00:32:31Yes, please.

00:32:32Please.

00:32:35All conversations with these officers will be treated in strictest confidence,

00:32:39and you can be sure to have a sympathetic approach.

00:32:45Sympathy?

00:32:46Who needs bloody sympathy?

00:32:49You misunderstood me.

00:32:51Aye, what do you think this is?

00:32:52A hospital?

00:32:55Aye, the trouble with him is he's been watching far too many episodes of The Bill.

00:33:00Don't say it.

00:33:01If there's a wrong way to do it.

00:33:08Close the door.

00:33:09I'm releasing the body for burial.

00:33:16The next of kin will need to be informed.

00:33:18That's his daughter, sir.

00:33:19I'll do that.

00:33:20Tell Mr. Gardner as well.

00:33:21Let them fight it out.

00:33:23You say so, sir.

00:33:25Well, Michael,

00:33:27there is just one more thing.

00:33:33There was hostility last night, I believe.

00:33:35Yeah, a little, sir.

00:33:36Nothing we couldn't handle.

00:33:37Well, we're going back again tonight.

00:33:39There's a different crowd.

00:33:41Cases like this, Michael, require trust.

00:33:45Try and behave a little less like a policeman.

00:33:47Get in among them.

00:33:48Use first names.

00:33:50And dress down a bit.

00:33:51Get rid of the suit.

00:33:52Jeans, something more casual.

00:33:54Make them feel comfortable.

00:33:55Just unbutton it a little.

00:34:05Now, I've got some notes here.

00:34:07I want that one

00:34:10that's always cut out the new hymn book

00:34:14and stuck in the old

00:34:15by Kour Salon or something.

00:34:17By Kour Salon, I'm sure you're here.

00:34:20Then, after the coffin's been brought in,

00:34:23the Lord is my shepherd.

00:34:24Did your father have any particular favourites?

00:34:30Derek.

00:34:32He was very fond of all the traditional ones.

00:34:36He was a musician.

00:34:37Oh, Derek.

00:34:39Could you get that?

00:34:40Derek!

00:34:41Sorry about that, Mr. McClure.

00:34:49So, we, um,

00:34:51we start with Rock of Ages

00:34:52as the first hymn

00:34:53by Kour Salon, Shady, Rill,

00:34:56and then the Lord's my shepherd.

00:34:59Now, are there any special messages

00:35:01you'd like me to...

00:35:02It's Gerald.

00:35:04My God!

00:35:05What's he doing here?

00:35:06Would you like me to...

00:35:07Hello, Angela.

00:35:08Um, I'm sorry, Mr. McClure.

00:35:11Uh, this is...

00:35:12I've come to talk to you about the funeral.

00:35:15I'm arranging it right now,

00:35:17and you've got a nerve coming here.

00:35:19Well, it's all arranged.

00:35:21I've asked a friend of ours

00:35:22to conduct the service.

00:35:24That's what I came to talk to you about.

00:35:26You've arranged it?

00:35:27What bloody right have you got?

00:35:29Is there some sort of family disagreement?

00:35:32This man is no member of the family.

00:35:34It's been arranged the way

00:35:35your father would have wanted it.

00:35:37I'm his daughter!

00:35:38And you're telling me

00:35:39I can't even bury my own father!

00:35:42You took him away from me and my mother,

00:35:43and now you want to take his body away as well!

00:35:45Oh, no, absolutely.

00:35:46And I hired you to tell me

00:35:47how my father would have wanted it!

00:35:49Oh, for goodness sake, Angela,

00:35:51your father's past Cairn who buries him.

00:35:53Too much time there

00:35:54that allowed Kovakovich

00:35:55to make the challenge.

00:35:58I met a guy in Club Eros once

00:35:59told me he knew a guy

00:36:00who'd picked up this guy in Edinburgh

00:36:02who was into putting his hands

00:36:04around people's throats.

00:36:05You know, choking them.

00:36:06Like Dennis Nielsen.

00:36:07Do you know who he was?

00:36:08The guy who told me

00:36:09or the guy this other guy picked up?

00:36:11Any of them.

00:36:12Well, the guy who told me

00:36:13was a...

00:36:14a Billy somebody.

00:36:16I know his face

00:36:17because I don't forget faces,

00:36:18but, er...

00:36:19I've not seen him since.

00:36:20And did they describe him?

00:36:22No, sorry.

00:36:24I...

00:36:24You hear about all sorts of weirdos.

00:36:27Thanks for talking to me, David.

00:36:28If you do think of anything,

00:36:30you can always call me in this number.

00:36:31I'll just ask for Jackie.

00:36:40What's wrong?

00:36:42Nothing.

00:36:44You look great.

00:36:47People willing to talk?

00:36:49They're willing to talk,

00:36:51but whether what they're talking about

00:36:52helps us is another matter.

00:36:56That's the station number

00:36:57if you need to get in touch.

00:36:58Okay.

00:36:59Cheers.

00:37:03Hi.

00:37:11How's it going?

00:37:12Fine, sir.

00:37:33All these men.

00:37:55Oh.

00:37:59Darling.

00:38:00Oh.

00:38:00What happened for you?

00:38:01Come on, Grandma.

00:38:02Sit down.

00:38:33I don't want to talk about suffering.

00:38:44I don't want to talk about grief or sadness.

00:38:51We all know those emotions.

00:38:53We all feel them deeply.

00:38:56I want to talk about joy.

00:39:01Brian was a man who gave.

00:39:05As a musician, he gave the joy of music to many people.

00:39:11But Brian had another gift, a gift of love.

00:39:18This he gave to his partner of 40 years, Gerald.

00:39:25He gave that love with unselfish heart.

00:39:27Call yourself a minister!

00:39:29You're supposed to condemn this sort of thing!

00:39:33This is your fault.

00:39:34I knew I shouldn't have let you arrange it!

00:39:36My father doesn't even get a Christian service!

00:39:42Angela!

00:39:46You can make a fool of yourself, but don't ever make a fool of me!

00:39:50You support what's going on in here!

00:39:52He was your father.

00:39:54Just let him go in peace.

00:39:57Oh, come on, Angela, and sit back down.

00:39:59You go back.

00:40:01Let's sing one of Brian's favourite hymns.

00:40:10Oh, love that will not let me go.

00:40:12What about him, Ollie?

00:40:17Nah.

00:40:18If you pick up a man tonight, pick one up for me too.

00:40:23Any particular shape, hair colour, eyes?

00:40:27Six foot six, broad and dark.

00:40:31And eyes would be nice.

00:40:33I'm keeping that one for myself.

00:40:34Well, whatever happens, I want you in your best behaviour tomorrow.

00:40:39Yes.

00:40:41No, no, no, this was the one that looked so...

00:40:44Is that your thing?

00:40:45Thanks a lot.

00:40:45Thanks a lot for coming.

00:40:46See you again.

00:40:47Bye.

00:40:48And Brian's got a wee bit of someone on the team.

00:40:52I'm so glad you could come, Phoebe.

00:40:55Sir, we have to go now.

00:40:56Oh, I quite understand.

00:40:57Thank you for coming.

00:40:59See you again sometime.

00:40:59Yes, indeed.

00:41:00Bye-bye.

00:41:01Bye.

00:41:03You keep laughing, love.

00:41:05Oh, I'm going to try.

00:41:06And don't sit at home, okay?

00:41:09Promise?

00:41:10Promise.

00:41:14Thanks very much for coming, boys.

00:41:17I'll maybe see you at the Wallace sometime.

00:41:21That was a lovely service, Ian.

00:41:22Thank you very much.

00:41:24I'm sorry about Angela.

00:41:26We all know what she's like.

00:41:27Oh.

00:41:28Listen, I hope you sort out your differences.

00:41:30Take care.

00:41:32Will do.

00:41:34All right, Jamie.

00:41:35That's enough.

00:41:36For goodness sake, you don't need to do that.

00:41:39I'm getting him domesticated.

00:41:40Find anything else in this tree.

00:41:41You'll be getting a divorce.

00:41:42Oh.

00:41:49Would you like Gary and me to spend the night?

00:41:50Oh, would you?

00:41:52Thanks.

00:41:52You'll be all right, Gerald.

00:41:54Well, I hope so.

00:41:56You see, I don't think Brian made a will.

00:41:59For all I know, I could be homeless.

00:42:01I tell you, this has been me since Tuesday.

00:42:09I've had a terrible week.

00:42:10Well, you see, we've got this new couple moved in next door.

00:42:13You know, one of each, a clone and a hairdresser.

00:42:19I tell you, have we got anybody in for Edinburgh here tonight?

00:42:23No.

00:42:23No, good.

00:42:23We'll all be in their beds, you know.

00:42:25Well, anybody here for Dumfries?

00:42:27Look, the last time I saw a mouth like that, I flushed it.

00:42:33Poor yourself.

00:42:33Look at me, he's only out for the day.

00:42:35Do you have a light?

00:42:36The operation officer is...

00:42:37Sorry, I don't smoke.

00:42:38All right, all right, all right.

00:42:41You look, you've never noticed.

00:42:43You never see Clark Kent in the same room as Superman.

00:42:46Are you here on holiday?

00:42:47Because of the same person, yeah?

00:42:48I work here.

00:42:49I'm going to university in the fall.

00:42:50Do you never see Bruce Wayne in the same room as Batman?

00:42:52Excuse me.

00:42:52Hi.

00:42:53Because they're the same person.

00:42:55And that's why you'll never see this young man over here

00:42:57in the same room as a bucket of shite.

00:42:59Oh, my God.

00:43:04Oh, my God.

00:43:05Oh, my God.

00:43:06Oh, my God.

00:43:08Oh, my God.

00:43:10Well, it hates morning.

00:43:14Oh, my God.

00:43:16When the storm leaks down on me

00:43:19And I know we belong together

00:43:27Only love can set you free

00:43:34I like your bosses

00:43:39Need to wear them because they're flashing lights

00:43:44Medical

00:43:48What's your name?

00:43:58Andy

00:43:58Martin

00:44:18What is nice to last forever?

00:44:26Only love can set you free

00:44:28Free

00:44:38Hello?

00:44:46Hello?

00:44:48Hello?

00:44:58Hello?

00:45:00Hello?

00:45:07Is that Detective Constable Fraser?

00:45:09Yeah

00:45:11Who is this?

00:45:17This is Angel Eyes

00:45:27Who is this?

00:45:36Who is this?

00:45:46Who is this?

00:45:54Who is this?

00:45:56Who is this?

00:46:03Who is this?

00:46:05If you didn't come home last night

00:46:15Who is this?

00:46:17Who is this?

00:46:19Who is this?

00:46:23Who is this?

00:46:25Who is this?

00:46:26Martin Carroll?

00:46:28If you're still in bed, I'll kill you

00:46:30Are we with you in a minute?

00:46:38Hello, Andy

00:46:48I'll be with you in a minute

00:46:55Hello, Andy

00:46:57You couldn't make that sound cooler if you tried

00:47:03Yes

00:47:05Yes, the strangulation marks are identical

00:47:07I'm more than ever convinced

00:47:09You're looking for something wide

00:47:11Like a scarf

00:47:13I could tell you a lot more if somebody got rid of this parrot

00:47:18That's a fine way to talk about your only witness

00:47:21Here, boy

00:47:29Here, boy

00:47:33Here we go

00:47:33It's not a dog

00:47:34Well, you do it

00:47:37Come on

00:47:38That's a good lad

00:47:41Yes

00:47:43You're a beautiful boy, aren't you?

00:47:46Hmm?

00:47:47Okay

00:47:48Here we are

00:47:49There

00:47:50Well done

00:47:52Good boy

00:47:53Yes

00:47:54Splendid

00:47:57Clothes stripped off

00:48:03Almost exactly the same pattern

00:48:05Shoe laces still tied

00:48:08Oh, he was obviously entertaining somebody

00:48:15The corpse is also incredibly clean

00:48:17Like the last one

00:48:20Can you be more precise?

00:48:23I see hundreds of corpses

00:48:25And rarely as clean as this one

00:48:27Or indeed that of the first victim

00:48:29So what are you saying?

00:48:31I'm suggesting

00:48:33That he washed both of them

00:48:35After he killed them

00:48:36All the things I said when we split up

00:48:45I didn't mean any of them

00:48:50I was angry

00:48:53Have you got anyone at the moment?

00:48:56Not since you

00:48:57I told you then

00:48:58There'd never be anybody else

00:49:00That was ages ago

00:49:01I find loving homes for all of them

00:49:04I can't find one for myself

00:49:07You will

00:49:09I thought we were going to

00:49:10But I was wrong

00:49:12It wouldn't have worked, Andy

00:49:14So stop it

00:49:16I tried to top myself after you left

00:49:21You never knew that, did you?

00:49:23I swallowed 50 aspirin

00:49:24Washed down with a bottle of cleaning fluid

00:49:26I had to have my stomach pumped

00:49:28The surgeon said I was a walking miracle

00:49:30You didn't do that, Andy

00:49:31Did you?

00:49:32I'll show you the hospital records

00:49:34I was dead for 20 seconds

00:49:36If there's a God in heaven

00:49:38Then I was this far from

00:49:39Which hospital?

00:49:43The Royal, I think

00:49:44I don't know

00:49:46I think I better go

00:49:48Just like that

00:49:49I've changed you

00:49:51A lot

00:49:52It'll be different now

00:49:54I'll be as discreet as you want

00:49:56I'll do what you want

00:49:57I'm sorry, Andy

00:49:58I've got a career now

00:50:01My own life

00:50:03I can't jeopardise that

00:50:05I'm his sister

00:50:08I was picking him up

00:50:11To take him to a wedding

00:50:12Of an old school friend of mine

00:50:14He lost his driving licence

00:50:16Three months ago

00:50:17Did you know he was a homosexual?

00:50:20Of course I knew

00:50:21I've known since we were kids

00:50:23He was a lovely man

00:50:26He didn't deserve this

00:50:29He must have been very close

00:50:31Closer than some married couples

00:50:34Is there anyone else we should contact?

00:50:38Parents?

00:50:39No, they're both dead

00:50:41What did he do for a living?

00:50:46He was a solicitor

00:50:47He worked for a firm

00:50:49Called Monson and Bryce

00:50:51In Bath Street

00:50:52Was his body

00:50:54I mean, was anything done to him?

00:50:59We won't know that till the post-mortem

00:51:00Make us a cup of tea

00:51:05Where did you get the bar stamp?

00:51:23Off a Christmas tree

00:51:24We just make sure to stay on the Christmas tree

00:51:26More places like this

00:51:28I'll never have to go back to San Francisco

00:51:30Oh right, that's where you're from

00:51:31San Francisco

00:51:32Montpellier, Vermont

00:51:33Gay capital of hell

00:51:35Hi, dear

00:51:37Hi

00:51:38Let me get you a drink

00:51:39No, I'm sorry

00:51:40We're not here socially

00:51:41There's been another murder

00:51:43It happened last night

00:51:45Oh my God

00:51:46The number of people in here tonight

00:51:47Might have seen the victim

00:51:48You do what you can to build something up

00:51:50Then all it takes is one person

00:51:52Michael

00:51:53Have you met Stephen Harden?

00:51:59He owns this and some other gay businesses in the town

00:52:02What do you think this is?

00:52:05It's called a telephone bar

00:52:07It's a new way for people to meet

00:52:09We've got a gay killer running about this city

00:52:11But we don't need and more places for them to meet

00:52:14Come on now

00:52:15Two people have died because they picked up a stranger

00:52:17A stranger who could be in here with his third victim

00:52:19Where would you rather people met?

00:52:22Public toilets?

00:52:23Kelvin Grove Park at night?

00:52:24I'd rather they didn't meet

00:52:26Not while this is going on

00:52:28Excuse me

00:52:31What is his problem?

00:52:40My God, Michael

00:52:41Who are you to make moral judgments?

00:52:43I'm trying to prevent another murder

00:52:44Do you call that cooperation?

00:52:46Stuart and I have spent a week earning people's trust

00:52:49And you march in and blow it

00:52:51Look, I want the cooperation as well

00:52:52So you'd close down their meeting place

00:52:54The very place where they're helping us

00:52:56It's not the same thing, Jackie

00:52:58And you know it

00:52:59All I know is that if we hit a wall of resentment in silence

00:53:04That wouldn't be my fault

00:53:06There's really no need to apologise

00:53:15I don't think many people even noticed

00:53:17You know what it's like

00:53:19Stories spread among your crowd

00:53:21You must get so tired fighting your corner

00:53:24Actually, I'm not gay

00:53:27I'm bisexual

00:53:28Oh, look, I am so sorry

00:53:33I didn't mean to

00:53:35Some people think that's having the best of both worlds

00:53:37And it isn't?

00:53:39Of course it is

00:53:40You're the waiter at Angels, aren't you?

00:53:44I manage Angels for Stephen

00:53:45Sorry

00:53:46Were you in the Wallace last night?

00:53:48Yep

00:53:48Did you see this guy?

00:53:51Don't remember him, no

00:53:52How about you?

00:53:54Nope, sorry

00:53:55Thanks

00:53:58I don't care, Derek

00:54:10I'm taking it

00:54:11How the hell did you get in?

00:54:15Angela, will you handle this, please?

00:54:17I want you to leave

00:54:18Both of you

00:54:19This was my father's

00:54:21And I'm taking it

00:54:22You're taking nothing from this flat, Angela

00:54:24You've got no right to be here

00:54:26This was our home

00:54:28Your father's and mine

00:54:30It was Dad's flat

00:54:31You only lived here with him

00:54:33Well, I still have a right to my privacy

00:54:35You don't have a right to anything

00:54:37I want you out

00:54:39I want to know which of these possessions are Dad's

00:54:41Everything was bought between us

00:54:45The piano was Dad's

00:54:46I know that because it belonged to my grandmother

00:54:48I'm not getting into these arguments

00:54:52I want receipts for everything

00:54:54Just go away and leave me alone

00:54:56Look

00:55:00I'm selling this flat

00:55:02And taking everything that's Dad's

00:55:05And what you owned between you

00:55:07I want a list of

00:55:08For my solicitor

00:55:09You boys weren't late

00:55:23Have a long lunch

00:55:24You're doing a good job

00:55:26Thanks

00:55:27Listen, I'm too totaled

00:55:30But I've got some beers here if you want some

00:55:32Oh, that's very good of you

00:55:33So you don't drink, eh?

00:55:38A man with no vices

00:55:39Sit down

00:55:40Thanks

00:55:41Cheers

00:55:44DC Fraser

00:55:49Look, don't ring me here

00:55:53Listen, Stuart

00:55:54I might have some information about the murderer you're looking for

00:55:58You wouldn't want me to give it to anyone else but you

00:56:03Would you?

00:56:28I need a profile

00:56:36An accurate profile of the type of person you would have picked up and brought home that night

00:56:41Well

00:56:43He wouldn't have gone home with a librarian who wanted to talk about church architecture

00:56:49Or anyone pretentious

00:56:51Or anyone outrageously camp

00:56:54Does that narrow the field?

00:56:56So who would you have brought back then?

00:56:57He likes good-looking young men

00:57:00Who might look slightly dangerous

00:57:03Dangerous?

00:57:04Not in a threatening way

00:57:06Martin liked people that were flawed

00:57:08Were there ever exceptions?

00:57:12There were always exceptions

00:57:13Would you come to Club Eros with me?

00:57:16Point out these people?

00:57:18Of course

00:57:18I used to go there a lot with Martin

00:57:20It's nice to go somewhere the men don't chase you

00:57:22I don't promise to be so restrained

00:57:25Martin had an expression that summed up the type he liked

00:57:30Angels with dangerous faces

00:57:33Gerald

00:57:41You've always liked a powerful machine, haven't you?

00:57:58Kiss me around

00:57:59Look

00:58:01I've had the locks changed

00:58:03And I've also had a talk with my solicitor

00:58:06If Angela wants to carry on this vendetta

00:58:09She's going to have to do it through the proper channels

00:58:11I've lived there for 27 years

00:58:14And I do have some rights, you know

00:58:16I'll tell her

00:58:17Or you could also try to get her to behave like a human being for a change

00:58:21Once she gets an idea in her head, you know what Angela's like

00:58:23Yes, and I know you

00:58:25I know you're not as spined as you make yourself out to be

00:58:29You know what I was remembering the other day?

00:58:38The night before your wedding

00:58:39What were you writing there?

00:58:42A Harley Davidson, wasn't it?

00:58:44The old dream machine

00:58:45Oh, you were quite a dream machine yourself in those days

00:58:48Not that you ever appealed to me

00:58:51All that grease and black leather

00:58:53Oh, but I can see I would appeal to Angela

00:58:56Happy days, eh?

00:58:59I also remember who you spent the night with before your wedding

00:59:03He was on a Russian ship on the Clyde, wasn't he?

00:59:06I remember you both on the bike tearing up Argyle Street

00:59:10Angela doesn't know about that

00:59:11I was drunk, so was he

00:59:13Don't worry

00:59:15We all have our youthful indiscretions, Derek

00:59:18Just don't forget what your backbone's for

00:59:39And that operating table

00:59:40When I died

00:59:42I saw God, Stuart

00:59:44I swear I did

00:59:45It changed me

00:59:47It changed my whole life

00:59:49I'm a different person now from the one I was

00:59:52You brought me here just to tell me that

00:59:54I just wanted you to know it

01:00:03That's all

01:00:04Look, I haven't got all day, Andy

01:00:06What I know

01:00:08Is amazing

01:00:10You could wrap this case up tomorrow and be in line for promotion

01:00:13Well, what is it, then?

01:00:15I don't care it for nothing

01:00:16I want something in return

01:00:19Oh, forget it

01:00:21You're throwing away the chance of a lifetime

01:00:26I'll take the gamble

01:00:27I saw the guy in the paper

01:00:28Like you saw God on the operating table

01:00:30You wouldn't know the truth of it

01:00:32Hit you nigh

01:00:33If I only knew

01:00:46I would give my heart to you

01:00:55What about half?

01:01:02Red t-shirt

01:01:03Too young, too pretty

01:01:08Martin liked them to shave

01:01:10I don't care it for you

01:01:11I don't care it for you

01:01:12I don't care it for you

01:01:13I don't care it for you

01:01:13Give me a signal

01:01:15From the heart

01:01:17I've got a sign, boy

01:01:19Of who you really are

01:01:21I'll waste my time for you

01:01:23I don't care it for you

01:01:25What about the guy over at the telly street?

01:01:26I don't care it for you

01:01:27To bury your stars

01:01:29Open up your heart

01:01:31Too old

01:01:32Oh, baby, baby

01:01:33Pass it

01:01:34Open up your heart

01:01:36Send me to the car

01:01:39Oh, baby, baby

01:01:41Open up your heart

01:01:43And at the bar, the bar

01:01:47Too clean, can't

01:01:51Move your tight

01:01:53Move tight

01:01:54Why don't you wear your clothes

01:02:02Hymn

01:02:03Edge

01:02:04All in blue

01:02:05That's mine, it's tight

01:02:08Take care

01:02:09Take care

01:02:10Bye

01:02:11Bye

01:02:12Bye

01:02:13Bye

01:02:14Bye

01:02:15And at the bar
