00:00:00The museum will be closing in ten minutes.

00:00:30Pior, the god of the seas, who drafts good weather to those who please him, and storms those who come.

00:00:50No.

00:00:53Great.

00:00:55Honest love.

00:00:58Leads my balcony down.

00:01:01That's me.

00:01:13Dr. Poole?

00:01:15That's right.

00:01:16I was expecting Superintendent McBitty.

00:01:18Oh, I'm afraid he was called away to a nudge at meeting.

00:01:22Fancy.

00:01:26Claim the souls of those who are not warriors

00:01:30so that they may be reunited with their love for you

00:01:34and live in peace forevermore.

00:01:40My animals are woes, need of water.

00:01:43My words are raven and remain new from afar.

00:01:49I plan for you to claim our beautiful warrior mate.

00:01:55Our decree of death, they don't be so.

00:02:02Superintendent McBitty has been a great supporter of our plans

00:02:06for the Glasgow Historic Murders Exhibition.

00:02:09It's a shame he couldn't be here in person.

00:02:11Yes, it is.

00:02:13You must see him as quite a role model, Inspector.

00:02:18Absolutely.

00:02:18Leave me alone.

00:02:22Leave me alone.

00:02:42Leave me alone.

00:02:46Leave me alone.

00:03:49Drop it.

00:03:51OK now, just put the axe down.

00:04:31Michael. Ray Gordon. The guard who was attacked. He was DOE.

00:04:37And whoever hearing blood acts.

00:04:39What?

00:04:41The other guard, Gary Fisher.

00:04:43Oh. Apparently he's got spinal damage, a collapsed lung, and his skull is badly fractured.

00:04:48Robert, where is he? Gary Fisher?

00:04:50He's my husband. There's been an accident.

00:04:52We'll catch you later.

00:04:54I'll get sister. Please wait for you.

00:04:56I'm a police officer, Mrs. Fisher.

00:04:58Dear Shreet, Mary Hill, I'm afraid I'll need to speak to you later.

00:05:02Oh, Daniel, sorry.

00:05:16Hey, Linda.

00:05:18Your dad's left his notes behind.

00:05:20That should make an interesting lecture for a change.

00:05:24Could you take them with you?

00:05:25Oh, well, there's a slight problem with that.

00:05:27Daniel, you're always cutting his lectures.

00:05:29I hear too many of them at home.

00:05:47Good afternoon. There will now be a short intermission due to my having left my lecture notes behind.

00:05:54Yeah, I know, I know. However, all is not lost.

00:05:57The lovely Linda has been dispatched to fetch them and should be here with them shortly.

00:06:02Ah, even as we speak.

00:06:04My guardian angel.

00:06:06Excellent.

00:06:07Thanks very much.

00:06:11All right.

00:06:14Synthetic organic substances.

00:06:17I'm telling you, Gary didnae have it in him.

00:06:20Just because he was a big guy doesn't mean he said...

00:06:22All right, Alan, please.

00:06:24There's a machine down the corridor.

00:06:26Will you get Ulrika some chocolate, please?

00:06:30Come on, darling.

00:06:35He's right, Sergeant Reid.

00:06:37For what you're saying, I can't believe it.

00:06:42Was your husband on any medication?

00:06:46For depression, perhaps?

00:06:47No.

00:06:48Of course not.

00:06:49Was he under any pressure?

00:06:50Money?

00:06:51Did he get an okay at work?

00:06:52It hasn't been easy for us since we came here.

00:06:54We met in Berlin.

00:06:55Gary was in the army.

00:06:56He wanted to bring us home, back to Glasgow.

00:07:00But it wasn't what he expected.

00:07:01It was a long time before he found that museum job.

00:07:07He tried so hard to look after us.

00:07:08It was a long time before he found that museum job.

00:07:09He tried so hard to look after us.

00:07:14Sir, the MOD's facts through details of Gary Fisher's military file.

00:07:15He was a cook.

00:07:16Hardly ramble, then.

00:07:17He served in Northern Ireland in the Gulf.

00:07:18Exemplate record, apparently.

00:07:19Nothing to suggest any signs of a psychiatric disorder.

00:07:21It wasn't what he expected.

00:07:22It was a long time before he found that museum job.

00:07:25He tried so hard to look after us.

00:07:34Sir, the MOD's facts through details of Gary Fisher's military file.

00:07:39He was a cook.

00:07:40Hardly ramble, then.

00:07:41He served in Northern Ireland in the Gulf.

00:07:42Exemplate record, apparently.

00:07:43Nothing to suggest any signs of a psychiatric disorder.

00:07:48Talk to his GP.

00:07:49You don't turn into a nutter like that for no reason.

00:07:52Oh, sir.

00:07:53Superintendent Mvitti told me to catch you before you got to your office.

00:07:56What the?

00:07:58Hello, Mike.

00:07:59Skinner, what the hell are you doing here?

00:08:01I'm making myself at home just like the biscuit told me to.

00:08:04What?

00:08:05Orders are orders.

00:08:07Here.

00:08:08Do you want one?

00:08:09This is my office.

00:08:12Yes.

00:08:13But you could say we're roommates.

00:08:14Ah, Michael.

00:08:15Nasty business at the museum.

00:08:16Are you all right?

00:08:17Until now, sir.

00:08:18Yeah.

00:08:19DI Skinner's office has plumbing problems.

00:08:20It looks like the Niagara Falls fell through it.

00:08:21The trouble is, Mike, it wasn't just water, do you know what I mean?

00:08:37So, cheerful chap is going to take it from the end.

00:08:40And going away at the line.

00:08:44And cheerful chap scores triumphantly from going by the river.

00:08:48Second.

00:08:49Change the wheel is third.

00:08:50Every break for the fourth.

00:08:52Until it's a great day.

00:08:53Back any winners, Danny boy?

00:08:55No.

00:08:56That's too bad.

00:08:57You see, you shouldn't bet with other folks' cash.

00:09:03Especially not in donkeys.

00:09:04You'll get the money, I promise.

00:09:05But some folks don't keep their promises.

00:09:06And that can be very, very painful.

00:09:07You know what I mean?

00:09:08Look, take what I've got.

00:09:09Take it.

00:09:10Are you taking the piss?

00:09:21donkeys. You'll get the money, I promise. But some folks don't keep their promises,

00:09:26and that can be very, very painful. You know what I mean?

00:09:29Look, take what I've got. Take it.

00:09:36Are you taking the piss?

00:09:41The boss ain't gonna like it, Danny boy. He ain't gonna like it. If I were you, I'd be keeping

00:09:56a look out.

00:10:11I've just been talking to Ray Gordon's wife. According to her, he reckoned that Gary Fisher

00:10:16was creepy, a weirdo.

00:10:20This doesn't make any sense, Michael. According to Kristen Fisher, Gary wouldn't hurt a fly.

00:10:41I've told you. You'll get your money.

00:10:58I was talking to a couple of the guys from the robbery squad last night. Seemingly, Gary

00:11:14Fisher's brother has just finished a five-year stretch in Berlin for robbery.

00:11:19Why doesn't that surprise me? Michael, what are you doing?

00:11:24Oh, it's my new roommate. It's like sharing an office with an orangutan.

00:11:35Jackie? Well, hello. I tell you, Mike, I don't know how you can be so mean. You really ought

00:11:44to let Jackie do a turn with the rest of us once in a while, you know?

00:11:49Well, I'll leave you both to it, Michael.

00:11:52Bye-bye, Jackie.

00:11:55Oh, no bad, eh?

00:12:00Ground roll, Skinner.

00:12:02What's that?

00:12:03This is my office.

00:12:05I want you to respect that.

00:12:08Are you sure? You just don't mean hands-off Jackie, are you?

00:12:11I'm not even going to dignify that with a reply.

00:12:22Morning. Hi, Linda.

00:12:25Hi.

00:12:26Hi, Juliet. Coffee on?

00:12:29Coffee's on. Milk's off.

00:12:31Gold star or what?

00:12:33Hey, Linda. They're here.

00:12:37Oh, wow.

00:12:38What's all the excitement?

00:12:40Tickets. The giants of Glasgow tomorrow night. Get ready for some real men.

00:12:45Yes. But are they ready for us?

00:12:52Sorry to disturb you.

00:13:13There's a few things we have to clean up.

00:13:15Go on. I'll ask your questions.

00:13:16Apparently things weren't going too well for Gary at work.

00:13:18You see, he had a temper, but he didn't go on with the other security people.

00:13:25Doesn't sound like Gary you were talking about.

00:13:27Perhaps he was different at work. People are sometimes, aren't they?

00:13:31His boss was worried about you saying that he didn't go on with the other security people.

00:13:37It doesn't sound like Gary you were talking about.

00:13:40Perhaps he was different at work. People are sometimes, aren't they?

00:13:45His boss was worried about his state of mind.

00:13:51There was nothing wrong with Gary.

00:13:55So he was fine at home?

00:13:58Nothing had changed? There was no strange behaviour?

00:14:01Yes.

00:14:04No.

00:14:07Look, what is this all about?

00:14:09I don't think you've been entirely honest with us, Mrs Fisher.

00:14:13We're told Gary had been obsessed with people watching him all the time.

00:14:17Even at home.

00:14:19You must have noticed something.

00:14:21I don't know what you're talking about.

00:14:22I think you do.

00:14:24Gary was hallucinating, wasn't he?

00:14:28Oh, my God.

00:14:30They dragged me into a photographer's studio in London last week when I was down for the conference, but, um, I don't know.

00:14:48I wonder if we don't need something a bit more gritty, immediate.

00:14:53Rubbish, James. They're fine.

00:14:54Yeah?

00:14:56You look very distinguished.

00:15:01Distinguished, eh?

00:15:04And sexy.

00:15:06Miss Curtis, are you flirting?

00:15:12Are you flirting?

00:15:25Extraordinary development of the upper pectorals and anterior deltoids.

00:15:29He was a body builder. Was he using steroid?

00:15:32I don't think there's any way he could have achieved that degree of muscle growth without them.

00:15:37And there's no sign of any physiological abnormality which might account for his behavior.

00:15:42Just another slice, please.

00:15:44You said on the telephone that something unusual turned up at the lab?

00:15:48That's right.

00:15:49There were traces of another drug, not a steroid.

00:15:51So, Gary Fisher had a habit?

00:15:53I don't know.

00:15:54It isn't heroin or cocaine or anything else they recognise for that matter.

00:15:59So, what is it?

00:16:00Well, it's not my field.

00:16:02I suggest you speak to Professor James Mitchell of the university.

00:16:06The formula for peace, James Mitchell?

00:16:08The same.

00:16:10He used to be one of the leading pharmacologists in the country.

00:16:13That was until he started to save the planet.

00:16:16A bit full of himself, if you ask me, but he still knows his stuff all right.

00:16:20Okay. Thanks, Steve.

00:16:22Well, governments have to realize that it's time to stop fighting among themselves,

00:16:35and to start fighting for the survival of mankind.

00:16:38That is the burden of my book, The Peace Formula.

00:16:42That's fine.

00:16:43Is that okay?

00:16:44It's okay?

00:16:45Professor Mitchell, thank you very much.

00:16:46My pleasure. Thank you.

00:16:47Professor Mitchell.

00:16:48Uh-huh.

00:16:49I, uh, I read your last book. Fascinating stuff.

00:16:52Oh, well, be sure to buy the new one, then.

00:16:54Oh, you can count on it.

00:16:55I'm Detective Inspector Jarden from Maryhill Police.

00:16:59Uh, I know you're a busy man, but, uh, I wonder if you could give us a few moments of your time.

00:17:04Yes, of course I can.

00:17:05Well, I'm not surprised to hear that your lab failed to identify this drug.

00:17:10Well, I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, but, um, the quantity of new drugs reaching the streets these days is literally beyond belief.

00:17:17I dread to think what could be going on in backstreet garages up and down the country with people whipping up formulae they've accessed on the internet.

00:17:27Could, uh, could this be a bodybuilding drug?

00:17:32Well, bodybuilders use a variety of drugs, and the list is ever-expanding.

00:17:36Can these drugs affect the way that people behave?

00:17:38Absolutely.

00:17:39If it's a steroid, then the increase in testosterone could turn a normally placid person into a violent, aggressive one, yeah.

00:17:51Is he in?

00:17:52He's got someone with him.

00:17:53I need to see him.

00:17:55It's the police, Daniel. You sure it can't wait?

00:18:08Are you all right? What's happened?

00:18:10Nothing.

00:18:14Daniel, if you're in some sort of trouble, you know, I could...

00:18:16Sort them out, could you?

00:18:17You bet I could.

00:18:21You are a babe.

00:18:24I think I'll come back later.

00:18:27I'll see you, Linda.

00:18:28I'll have the samples from our lab sent over straight away.

00:18:40I should warn you, these tests may take a while.

00:18:42This kind of thing can be a long, drawn-up process of elimination.

00:18:45I'm sure you'll crack it, sir.

00:18:47Oh, I'm looking forward to the challenge.

00:18:49Makes a change from saving the planet, I suppose.

00:18:52Thanks for your time, sir. It's been a privilege.

00:18:55Oh, uh, perhaps you'd like to come to my book launch.

00:18:59If you're not on duty,

00:19:02you might find it interesting.

00:19:05Bring your wife.

00:19:06steps down.

00:19:07Gareth wasn't a drug addict.

00:19:09He was taking stitoids.

00:19:10He was a bodybuilder.

00:19:11They all take them.

00:19:12You have to if you want to win.

00:19:15There were traces of something else in his blood, Kristen.

00:19:17I guess we could not get the drapes out of the blood.

00:19:19I was going to take your life.

00:19:20And over to the night, Harry, please, you're going to take them to the doctor.

00:19:21Oh, look.

00:19:23It's okay.

00:19:24Don't get your life.

00:19:25You're going to take your life.

00:19:26You're going to have to take it.

00:19:27You're going to take it twice.

00:19:28You're going to take them to my life.

00:19:29I'll take them to your life.

00:19:30You're going to take it when I was at the time.

00:19:31Why don't you give them to a doctor?

00:19:32I got this.

00:19:33There are traces of something else in this blood, Kristen.

00:19:36Another drug.

00:19:38Do you know what it was?

00:19:43He's dead now. What does it matter?

00:19:48It could explain what happened to him.

00:19:51What changed him.

00:19:54He did change, didn't he, Kristen?

00:19:56He hated it here.

00:19:58It wasn't home anymore.

00:20:00Then Alan moved in.

00:20:02Maybe we would have left.

00:20:04Gone back to Germany, perhaps.

00:20:08But not once they were back together.

00:20:11Was that when Gary started to change?

00:20:16Oh, I don't know.

00:20:19But he changed.

00:20:23He used to be so gentle.

00:20:26Then he...

00:20:33Then.

00:20:37He had nightmares.

00:20:40Terrible nightmares.

00:20:43He would wake up every night screaming.

00:20:46I hope she should give the Dean's office a call.

00:20:53Tell him what he needs to be.

00:20:56Dad?

00:20:59Well, the prodigal son.

00:21:02Hello, Daniel.

00:21:05Why were the police here?

00:21:08Don't worry.

00:21:09They weren't looking for you.

00:21:11They found traces of something in the body of that museum guard on the news.

00:21:14And they want me to run some tests.

00:21:16Anyway, I wanted to see you.

00:21:19I've invited Juliet home for dinner tonight.

00:21:23Dad.

00:21:24Don't torture yourself.

00:21:26This precious little you say that I take seriously.

00:21:28So, what if I was asking for your help?

00:21:31Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!

00:21:37HE LAUGHS

00:21:53Four thousand pounds?

00:21:56Dad.

00:21:57I have no idea how much cash you've creamed off me in the last year or so.

00:22:01What the hell do you do with it, Daniel?

00:22:04It certainly doesn't go on clothes.

00:22:08And I pray to God you've more sense than to get mixed up with drugs.

00:22:13It isn't drugs.

00:22:15Then, what is it?

00:22:19Dad.

00:22:20I'm in real trouble.

00:22:30The answer is no.

00:22:33And from now on, if you want something from me, your attitude is going to have to undergo nothing short of a revolution.

00:22:40You don't give a stuff, do you?

00:22:43Well, I may be a disappointment to you, but I'm still your son.

00:22:47And you won't let me forget it, will you?

00:22:50Is that what you want?

00:22:52To forget about me like you've forgotten about Mum?

00:22:56It's too bad I'm still vertical and ticking, eh, Dad?

00:23:00You can't just turn me face down on the bedside table that Mum's photographed when you've got company, can you?

00:23:05You get out.

00:23:18Meg!

00:23:20Come back!

00:23:21Meg!

00:24:09And he'll be a Nobel Prize winner one day, believe me.

00:24:11What about fun?

00:24:14James is fun!

00:24:16What's the matter with you?

00:24:25I don't know.

00:24:27Maybe things are just getting too serious.

00:24:30Having dinner with him and Daniel tonight.

00:24:32Well, what's so dreadful about that?

00:24:36They don't want to go home to meet their parents or their kids.

00:24:39You've met Daniel before.

00:24:43Yeah, I know.

00:24:49Hello?

00:24:53Nick?

00:25:02Nick McEwan.

00:25:13Have you gone nuts?

00:25:15Yes.

00:25:35Yep.

00:25:38Okay.

00:25:39Oh, come on, Mike.

00:25:58If we're going to be lumbered together,

00:25:59we might as well try and make the most of it.

00:26:02Do you fancy a pint later?

00:26:04I don't drink.

00:26:07No.

00:26:08Of course you don't.

00:26:10I forgot.

00:26:12Still, maybe you could risk a fizzy orange or something.

00:26:18Jackie might like to come along.

00:26:21Sorry.

00:26:23Please yourself.

00:26:27Do you get on all right?

00:26:29You and Jackie?

00:26:32Well, we've worked together for a long time.

00:26:37Yeah, but...

00:26:38more about extracurricular.

00:26:43What are you on about, Skinner?

00:26:52Here.

00:26:54Take a look.

00:26:55What is it?

00:26:59The Skinner Book of Records.

00:27:03These are all WPCs.

00:27:05No, no.

00:27:06There's a couple of DSs there.

00:27:07places and dates.

00:27:08Places and dates.

00:27:10It's a sort of hobby of mine.

00:27:11You are a disgrace, Skinner.

00:27:14What's your problem?

00:27:16It's only a bit of fun.

00:27:16Tell you what, Mike, I know you're not a betting man.

00:27:26But ten quid says Jackie needs my next entry.

00:27:28You're out of order.

00:27:29Right out of order.

00:27:30Oh, come on, down off your bloody white charger, Jardin.

00:27:34Don't tell me you've never been there.

00:27:39Oh, you haven't?

00:27:42You'd like to, though, wouldn't you?

00:27:46Go on.

00:27:47Don't tell me you've never fancied a turn with her.

00:27:52I know her sort.

00:27:54She's gagging for it.

00:27:57Can't get her bloody enough.

00:28:00You know what?

00:28:02I'd really love you.

00:28:04Shut up.

00:28:10What the blue thunder is going on?

00:28:13This is a police station, not a school playground.

00:28:20How would a suspension look on your record?

00:28:24Can you not at least explain yourself?

00:28:27No, sir.

00:28:28I, uh, I lost control.

00:28:31I'm prepared to accept the consequences.

00:28:35This is not like you, Michael.

00:28:38What did he say?

00:28:41It's a private matter, sir.

00:28:43Well, I have to warn you, Michael,

00:28:47that I should take this further.

00:28:50But the caseload's too heavy at the minute

00:28:53for to lose either one of you.

00:28:56All the same, any more shenanigans,

00:28:59it'll be out of my hands.

00:29:02Understood, sir.

00:29:05Oh, uh, what about, Inspector Skinner?

00:29:08I've sent him on a trip in the country

00:29:10to cool down.

00:29:13Ah, Inspector Skinner.

00:29:24Come for a breath of the country?

00:29:26What's up, Doc?

00:29:28Not much to worry you, anyway.

00:29:29Bizarre, but not very sinister.

00:29:33Heart attack.

00:29:34Nah, you're kidding me.

00:29:37See the blueness around his lips?

00:29:39Now, my guess is he brought the scarecrow out here,

00:29:43finished putting it into the ground,

00:29:45and then his heart packed in.

00:29:47He made a grab for the scarecrow,

00:29:49slipped, perhaps knocking the head off as he did so,

00:29:51and then impaled himself.

00:29:55Bit of a freak, no doubt.

00:29:58But that's what the signs suggest.

00:30:01Have a look for yourself.

00:30:04Sorry the disappoint.

00:30:07Big lad, eh?

00:30:09Can't be more than 25.

00:30:10It's a bit young for a heart attack, isn't it?

00:30:16Hmph.

00:30:18I thought these farmers were fit-buggers.

00:30:21Well, I'd have to concur with you on that point.

00:30:26What about his eyes?

00:30:28What about him?

00:30:29Well, they're yellow, aren't they?

00:30:30Well spotted.

00:30:38Could be liver damage.

00:30:41Seems there's something interesting here, after all.

00:30:44Give us a bell when you sharpen up the bacon slicer for me.

00:30:48OK, Doc.

00:31:00Cheers.

00:31:10He's late.

00:31:12Maybe he's changed his mind.

00:31:15No, he'll turn up.

00:31:17I'm sure of it.

00:31:18Tomorrow night, eh?

00:31:44No problem.

00:31:45It's good doing business for you, partner.

00:32:15OK, bro, I'm happy to see you.

00:32:42Anyway, you know, you need to lose the way you are.

00:32:48You got all the way, but now you're starting to fight.

00:32:51Just a boost to be loved.

00:32:53You're driving too fast.

00:32:54You got an ease of love.

00:32:56You're loving.

00:32:57Just a boost to be loved.

00:32:59You'll never last.

00:33:01You're going to find yourself apart.

00:33:03You're so happy.

00:33:04You could have given tonight a mess, Alan.

00:33:18I've got more reason than ever to be here, Mr. Skelly.

00:33:22Well, if there's anything you need, just give the nod.

00:33:26Loyalty's a valuable commodity these days.

00:33:29I like to invest in it.

00:33:30All I want is the bastard that poisoned Gary.

00:33:33I like to invest in it.

00:33:34But you're feeling no more.

00:33:35But you're feeling no more.

00:33:36Oh!

00:33:37Oh!

00:33:38Oh!

00:33:39Oh!

00:33:40Oh!

00:33:41Oh!

00:33:42Oh!

00:33:43Oh!

00:33:44Oh!

00:33:45Oh!

00:33:46Oh!

00:33:47Oh!

00:33:48Oh!

00:33:49Oh!

00:33:50Oh!

00:33:51Oh!

00:33:52Oh!

00:33:53Oh!

00:33:54Oh!

00:33:55Oh!

00:33:56Oh!

00:33:57Oh!

00:33:58I'll get somebody asking questions, Alan.

00:34:00We'll find them.

00:34:02I reckon I know where I'm going to start looking.

00:34:07Excuse me, Alan.

00:34:08Business.

00:34:09Yes, beloved.

00:34:10Yes, beloved.

00:34:11Yes, beloved.

00:34:12Neverlast, you're gonna find yourself in the past.

00:34:17So you got the money for Danny, boy?

00:34:19You promise 4K by tomorrow.

00:34:21And you believe him?

00:34:22Well, he's done it before.

00:34:24Oh!

00:34:25Oh!

00:34:26Oh!

00:34:27Oh!

00:34:28Oh!

00:34:29Oh!

00:34:30Oh!

00:34:31Oh!

00:34:32Oh!

00:34:33Oh!

00:34:34Oh!

00:34:35Oh!

00:34:36Oh!

00:34:37Oh!

00:34:38Oh!

00:34:45Dad, I'm really sorry.

00:34:49Hello, Juliet.

00:34:51Better late than never, I suppose.

00:34:53Come and sit down.

00:34:54We were keeping it warm.

00:34:56Don't...

00:34:57Don't forget your manners, Dad.

00:34:59Juliet's your guest, isn't she?

00:35:08Stop!

00:35:09Hey.

00:35:10Oh!

00:35:11Come and sit down!

00:35:13Oh!

00:35:15Hey!

00:35:16Oh!

00:35:17Oh!

00:35:18Oh!

00:35:19Oh!

00:35:20Oh!

00:35:21Oh!

00:35:22Ugh!

00:35:23Oh!

00:35:24Oh!

00:35:25Oh, oh!

00:35:26Oh!

00:35:28Oh!

00:35:29Oh!

00:35:59I wish you'd stay.

00:36:09No, James. Let's not push it. Not with Daniel here.

00:36:12He has to come to terms with it, Juliet.

00:36:15How difficult he makes it for himself is a matter for him.

00:36:19Good night, James.

00:36:26See you tomorrow.

00:36:29Where are you going?

00:36:38Out.

00:36:40Daniel, as fathers go, am I that bad?

00:36:44I wouldn't know.

00:36:45No.

00:36:46No.

00:36:47No.

00:36:48No.

00:36:49No.

00:36:50No.

00:36:51No.

00:36:52Let's go.

00:37:22Let's go.

00:37:52What's going to happen, Daniel? I don't want to hurt him.

00:37:56And I don't want to think about it. I'm not writing that.

00:38:22I don't want to think about it.

00:38:52His name's Nick McEwen. He was a research chemist here at Cross Hunter.

00:38:58Well, obviously it wasn't a mugging.

00:39:04What have you got for me, Stephen?

00:39:05Oh, Michael. Well, a broad-edged implement. Quite possibly a spade.

00:39:11The neck muscles to the left have been split and the trachea severed.

00:39:15Daniel took his head off.

00:39:17But clearly he wasn't killed here. There was not nearly enough blood around.

00:39:20The killer brought him here.

00:39:34I'd say someone was trying to make a point, wouldn't you?

00:39:41Daniel, wake up. Wake up, Daniel.

00:39:43What's wrong?

00:39:45This was on the doormat.

00:39:47Somebody knows about us.

00:39:48Someone knows.

00:39:49Just give me a minute, all right?

00:40:05What was this?

00:40:07I owe someone some money.

00:40:09They're starting to put the frighteners on.

00:40:11How much do you owe?

00:40:13It doesn't matter. I'm sorting it out.

00:40:16Well, you're better, Daniel.

00:40:17It isn't just you. They're frightening.

00:40:20And if they know about us, they could tell James.

00:40:23They won't.

00:40:24That's not their style.

00:40:26Exactly what sort of work do you do here, Mr. Graham?

00:40:30Biochemical research, mostly.

00:40:32We handle a great deal of work for the MOD,

00:40:34so, as you can appreciate, much of it is highly sensitive.

00:40:38What about Nick McEwan?

00:40:39What kind of work was he involved in?

00:40:41He was security level one.

00:40:43His sections are graded in terms of security and biological safety.

00:40:47Nick was a very bright young man, Inspector.

00:40:50In fact, we sponsored him at university.

00:40:52But I can't believe his death had anything to do with his work.

00:40:56What about those lunatics you mentioned?

00:40:58Extremist animal rights activists, people like that.

00:41:01Thanks. I'll give you a shout when I'm finished.

00:41:03Okay.

00:41:26What about Dr. Graham?

00:41:35I don't know.

00:42:05Welcome to Venice Beach, Glansman.

00:42:18Excuse me, I'm looking for Max Mussel.

00:42:21Hey, pal, I'm talking to you.

00:42:25Oh, sorry, miss.

00:42:29Could I help you?

00:42:30Yeah. You Max Mussel?

00:42:32Certainly am.

00:42:34D.I. Jardim, D.S. Reid.

00:42:36I believe a man called Gary Fisher used to train here.

00:42:39Aye, that's right. I heard what happened.

00:42:42He's meant to compete in the Giants of Glasgow tonight.

00:42:44And then I've stolen it.

00:42:46Qualified for the Scottish Missers.

00:42:48Could have been all the way.

00:42:50Physique like that.

00:42:53America. Films. The lot.

00:42:55It's got to be the drugs he was using.

00:42:57That was Gary's business.

00:42:59Yeah, well, it's their business now.

00:43:02Will you supply them?

00:43:04All I supply are the weights and inspiration, Inspector.

00:43:07Like I said, anything else, that was up to Gary.

00:43:11We know he was using steroids.

00:43:14But there were traces of another drug in his body.

00:43:17Maybe you know what it was.

00:43:18I've told you.

00:43:19I don't supply steroids.

00:43:21It's the other drug we're interested in.

00:43:23You didn't get it from me.

00:43:25There are plenty of jokers in this game.

00:43:26But not me.

00:43:27That's why people come to me.

00:43:29I know what I'm talking about.

00:43:31And I'm responsible.

00:43:33I'm sure you are.

00:43:34So, maybe you could suggest a few of these jokers that we can call on.

00:43:47You ever been to Africa, Dan?

00:43:49No.

00:43:51I'm going.

00:43:53One of these days.

00:43:56Going to hitch me up on a safari.

00:43:58See these guys in the wild.

00:43:59See, it's not the same in here.

00:44:05I know during the day.

00:44:09But you can get in at night.

00:44:11If you can dodge your security.

00:44:13And that's better.

00:44:15No screaming kids.

00:44:18Just you.

00:44:20And them.

00:44:23You can start to communicate.

00:44:24You know what I mean?

00:44:42Is there a problem?

00:44:45Do you see me checking your bag?

00:44:49We're partners, aren't we?

00:44:52We trust each other.

00:44:53Sure.

00:44:55By the way.

00:44:56We don't have tigers in Africa.

00:45:05There was £3,000 all told, sir.

00:45:07In three different envelopes around the flat.

00:45:09Oh, sorry.

00:45:10I can see you're busy.

00:45:11Do you mind?

00:45:12No.

00:45:14So, how much is a junior research chemist at Cross Hunter Erne, then?

00:45:18Not enough to save three grand, sir.

00:45:20Not when he's still paying off his student loan.

00:45:21So, excuse me, Mike.

00:45:24Can I use your desk?

00:45:25I shouldn't be long.

00:45:26An hour max.

00:45:27How about yourself?

00:45:31So, I wonder where McEwan gets £3,000 from.

00:45:33I'd pull the tooth fairy in for a grilling if I were you.

00:45:36I'm sorry.

00:45:40Fraser, see if there's anything of interest in his personnel for your licorice on today.

00:45:44Yes, sir.

00:45:49Right, I'll leave you both to it.

00:45:51Whatever you're up to, Skinner, forget it.

00:46:05I'm just trying to make an effort, that's all.

00:46:07Donald Freeman, you're a Fintry Scarecrow.

00:46:16You're not stealing that, are you?

00:46:18Yeah, these are the papers from his office.

00:46:22I thought it was natural causes.

00:46:25Do I poke my nose into your cases?

00:46:28No, I don't think so.

00:46:29That's a hundred and final chance, one foot to your ear.

00:46:51McEwan, yes, I do remember him, I think.

00:46:54Sorry, I have so many students.

00:46:56But I really don't think anything comes to mind about him that might be useful.

00:47:01Don't concern yourself, sir.

00:47:02If anything does come to mind, just let us know.

00:47:07How are the tests coming along?

00:47:08Well, as I've already explained to Inspector Jardin here,

00:47:12drug identification can be a lengthy process.

00:47:15It's a matter of elimination of patients, really.

00:47:18A bit like detective work, I should imagine.

00:47:22Unfortunately, superintendents aren't renowned for their patients.

00:47:26Considering the brilliant career he had ahead of him,

00:47:37Nick McEwan didn't make much of an impression on his professor.

00:47:39I think James Mitchell's got more on his mind

00:47:41than remembering past students, Jackie.

00:47:44What, even one sponsored by a company like Cross Hunter?

00:47:48True.

00:47:56Listen, er, you doing anything tonight?

00:48:02Skinner hasn't asked you to fix up a date, has he?

00:48:05Oh, no.

00:48:06But, er, you'll have your pick of any of the men.

00:48:11Sounds like the best offer I've had all week.

00:48:12Test results on that drug, James.

00:48:26Thanks.

00:48:29Hi, Daniel.

00:48:31How are you?

00:48:31Fine.

00:48:33What did the police want this time?

00:48:36The news of an old friend of yours.

00:48:37Bad, I'm afraid.

00:48:40You found something on our scarecrow, then?

00:48:42Oh, indeed I did.

00:48:45Steroids?

00:48:45Hmm.

00:48:47He'd rather overindulged in them,

00:48:49but his heart simply wasn't up to it.

00:48:52But rather more significantly,

00:48:54there were also traces of what looks like

00:48:56the same drug we found in Gary Fisher's body.

00:48:59Must tell Michael about that.

00:49:01May have a bearing on his investigation.

00:49:04Oh, don't worry, Doc.

00:49:04I'll let him know about that one.

00:49:05Hey, get what you're doing.

00:49:29No worries.

00:49:31Struthglide Force.

00:49:33Heavyweight boxing champion.

00:49:34Three years on a trot.

00:49:35I've told your colleagues all I know.

00:49:38Does a Donald Freeman train here?

00:49:41Sometimes.

00:49:43Well, I'm afraid he won't be renewing his membership.

00:49:46Heart attack.

00:49:48Too many German steroids.

00:49:50This has nothing to do with me.

00:49:52Well, what about the other drug it turned up in Gary Fisher?

00:49:55It turned up in Freeman, too.

00:49:57Now, that's quite a coincidence.

00:50:00The world's full of them.

00:50:03Oh, aye.

00:50:04And both of them are dead.

00:50:07Looks like the church of pain is turning into quite an unhealthy place to train.

00:50:12I'm off now, James.

00:50:16The bodybuilding show tonight.

00:50:18Uh-huh.

00:50:18Should be a laugh.

00:50:20You all right?

00:50:20Yes.

00:50:21Of course.

00:50:21Sure.

00:50:22Yeah, I'm tired, that's all.

00:50:24I'll see you tomorrow.

00:50:25Yeah.

00:50:28Got to go.

00:50:29Enjoy yourself.

00:50:29And we will.

00:50:31All those gorgeous men.

00:50:33Not as gorgeous as you, though.

00:50:34Mm-hmm.

00:50:37Don't know which is the more neanderthal.

00:50:39There or Skinner.

00:50:40Right.

00:50:41Do you know what I heard?

00:50:43What?

00:50:44That you hit him.

00:50:49Skinner.

00:50:52Floor them.

00:50:54Let's find Max Mussel.

00:50:58Yes.

00:50:59Just remember, you're ripped and you're ready.

00:51:11So don't go hitting too much of that stuff.

00:51:13I want your veins standing out.

00:51:14I know you've fallen off the stage.

00:51:22Inspector.

00:51:23What brings you here?

00:51:25I took you for a bit of pencil neck myself.

00:51:27I'm just keeping DS Reid out of trouble.

00:51:30I know.

00:51:32I hope you both enjoy the show.

00:51:34Look, I need to be up front.

00:51:37I've got one of my lads on stage.

00:51:38I need to be up front.

00:51:39You don't know.

00:51:56Best of luck, girl.

00:51:58I'm going to be up front.

00:51:59I'm going to be up front.

00:52:01I'm going to be up front.

00:52:01One more chance, then I want Danny Boy's balls in a frying pan.

00:52:15Aye, all right.

00:52:24Mr Skelly.

00:52:25Yeah, you two got tossed out last night.

00:52:27Want more of the same?

00:52:29I heard you're a good man to look for.

00:52:30Oh, I am.

00:52:31That's because I've only got good men working for me.

00:52:34And from where I am standing, you two don't look too impressive.

00:52:37You reckon?

00:52:42What the hell are you on?

00:52:44You like to know.

00:52:46Aye.

00:52:47Maybe I would.

00:52:58I'm sure he's a fascinating conversationalist.

00:53:00Who cares?

00:53:06Can we have numbers?

00:53:08Five.

00:53:10Twelve.

00:53:13Look.

00:53:14I'm not the only one with a taste for overdeveloped pecs.

00:53:17gentlemen, the stage is yours.

00:53:31Hi, dear.

00:53:33We've made a Dr. Mitchell's lab today.

00:53:35You want to be under suspicion or something?

00:53:38I was wondering what the attraction was.

00:53:41Are you kidding?

00:53:41We take a look at the neckers he's wearing.

00:53:44Almost.

00:53:45Why would anyone want to get that big?

00:53:56Oh, you.

00:53:57I think we've got something to discuss.

00:53:59I'm way back to your bottle.

00:54:01I'm Gary Fisher's brother.

00:54:02Okay, okay.

00:54:03I'm really sorry about it.

00:54:04Oh, you're sorry.

00:54:05You're the murdering bastard that killed him.

00:54:07You root your head, by the way.

00:54:08Now it's your turn.

00:54:11Police!

00:54:15Right.

00:54:18He killed Gary.

00:54:19Bastard.

00:54:21Aye, aye.

00:54:23That's where Gary got the drugs from.

00:54:25Max Muscle.

00:54:26He was pumping him full of shit.

00:54:32Told him he could be in the movies.

00:54:34Meg had to Hollywood.

00:54:38Pumped him full of shit he did.

00:54:41Shit-ad bullshit.

00:54:43Do you know what Gary was taking?

00:54:46What does it matter what he took?

00:54:49He's dead.

00:54:50He's dead.

00:54:56Alan Fisher said you supplied his brother with the drugs.

00:55:01Alan Fisher's looking for someone to blame for Gary's death.

00:55:04Ask anyone here.

00:55:06He's been around half the gyms in Glasgow asking questions.

00:55:08He's right.

00:55:10Someone supplied Gary with a lethal drug.

00:55:13I hope you're not looking my way.

00:55:14Have you not got the message yet?

00:55:16I've told you and I've told your pal Skinner.

00:55:19Skinner?

00:55:21Farmer's death is my case.

00:55:23You're in the church of pain, it's mine.

00:55:24You're deliberately sabotaging my investigation.

00:55:27I'm a detective, I'm doing my job.

00:55:30All you are, Jordan, is a jumped-up brig with a rod stuck up your arm.

00:55:34What the hell is going on now?

00:55:38Are you off your head?

00:55:40I'm telling you, you've got a problem here.

00:55:42We've both got a problem.

00:55:43No, James, I don't think so.

00:55:45If your ghosts are coming back to haunt you, that's your problem.

00:55:48And don't expect me to cover for you when the police start asking questions.

00:55:54You deliberately withheld crucial information.

00:55:58I was following a line of inquiry on a separate case.

00:56:03Stop it, both of you.

00:56:04This is a police station and you are police officers.

00:56:08It's quite clear to me that these cases are joined at the hip.

00:56:11So why can't we try working together?

00:56:14Michael, do we know what drug we're dealing with?

00:56:16No, sir.

00:56:18What's the problem?

00:56:20I thought this Professor James Mitchell was the best in his field.

00:56:23Or perhaps he's too busy promoting that book of his.

00:56:27It's a matter of elimination, sir.

00:56:28It takes time.

00:56:29Max Muscle?

00:56:31He denies having any knowledge of this drug.

00:56:34He's lying.

00:56:36Michael?

00:56:38Yeah, I'd say so, sir.

00:56:39Good, an agreement.

00:56:40We're making progress.

00:56:42So what do you suggest?

00:56:44A search warrant?

00:56:45I'd like to put someone on the inside.

00:56:48Find out what's really going on in there.

00:56:50Good idea.

00:56:52I reckon D.S. Reid would look great in a leotard, don't you, sir?

00:56:56Sergeant Reid is checking out any possible animal extremist connection with McEwan's murder, sir.

00:57:01Do we have any bodybuilders at Maryhill?

00:57:03What did I tell you?

00:57:14Come on, Stuart.

00:57:15You've got to hate it.

00:57:17Hate it.

00:57:18I'm Ellen.

00:57:19I helped Max out with the newcomers.

00:57:21Reckons you could do some TLC.

00:57:23He doesn't look as though he needs any.

00:57:26Mark won last night's chance of Glasgow.

00:57:27He's through to the Scottish misters now.

00:57:29It looks as if someone's turned him inside out.

00:57:32You should have seen Gary Fisher.

00:57:33Who?

00:57:34He used to train here.

00:57:36Max is a star, but he died.

00:57:39Mark's good, but didn't stand a chance against Gary.

00:57:41He was huge.

00:57:43Is that why some of them take drugs?

00:57:45To turn them into monsters?

00:57:47They want to win.

00:57:48So what about Gary Fisher?

00:57:50Yes.

00:57:50He wanted to win.

00:57:52And win big.

00:57:54So was he on anything?

00:57:55What do you think?

00:57:58Come on, Stuart.

00:57:58What are you after?

00:57:59Championship gold muscle?

00:58:01I just want to tone up a bit.

00:58:03Not a lot to work with, is there?

00:58:09It's a simple proposition.

00:58:11I'm interested in your merchandise.

00:58:13But first I want to name you your supplier.

00:58:16Tell me that, then we can start talking like grown-ups.

00:58:21How do I know I can trust you?

00:58:23How do I know I can trust you?

00:58:30Where does this city call it a sign of trust?

00:58:33I thought I'd better let you know as soon as I had something.

00:58:37I can't identify this drug by name,

00:58:40but from my analysis,

00:58:41I believe I have a fairly accurate idea of what it does.

00:58:44Oh, which is?

00:58:45It stimulates the release of adrenaline.

00:58:47Could it be dangerous?

00:58:50Well, under normal circumstances,

00:58:51the adrenaline rush is just that,

00:58:54a rush over in a matter of seconds.

00:58:56But too much adrenaline over an extended period of time

00:59:00can affect the brain.

00:59:02Disrupt sleep patterns, that kind of thing.

00:59:04Can it affect a man's behaviour?

00:59:06Oh, yes.

00:59:07The drugs are sympathomimetic.

00:59:09Which means?

00:59:10It acts like an amphetamine,

00:59:14so it can ultimately induce psychosis.

00:59:17So it could drive a person insane?

00:59:18I hear you,

00:59:48You made a wee bit of a fool of yourself last night.

00:59:51Getting pissed and having a go at Max Muscle in front of the police.

00:59:57Not very bright, was it?

01:00:00That he's my business, and how I deal with it's my business.

01:00:05Fair enough.

01:00:07I just thought you'd like to know what I was talking to a couple of fellas last night.

01:00:11Max Muscle might be in it up to his oversized neck, but he's not on his own.

01:00:18There you go.

01:00:38Stuart?

01:00:42I was just feeling a bit queasy.

01:00:43I was looking for somewhere to lie down.

01:00:45Are you sure you're ready for bodybuilding, Stuart?

01:00:47Maybe you ought to try something a bit lighter.

01:00:50Tooddlywinks, perhaps.

01:01:06You ought to be more careful, Danny boy.

01:01:09A lot more careful.

01:01:12Now, listen.

01:01:14If I don't get what you owe by the end of the week,

01:01:18your next fall could be from the top.

01:01:21A guy could break his neck.

01:01:24Comprende?

01:01:31Are you Vander?

01:01:32That's right.

01:01:34You were one of the protesters outside Cross Hunters last year, weren't you?

01:01:38Was I?

01:01:40D.S. Reid, Maryhill Police.

01:01:43Come on, Vander.

01:01:47You were bound over when you threw a condom filled with chicken blood at Ian Grant, the MD.

01:01:51So what?

01:01:53There's been a murder, Vander.

01:01:55You think it may have something to do with animal activists?

01:01:58And you thought of the Animal Freedom Front?

01:02:01Who's dead?

01:02:04A junior research chemist, Nick McKeown.

01:02:10Do you know him?

01:02:12We were at university together.

01:02:14He was a bad boy.

01:02:17How do you mean?

01:02:18Ecstasy.

01:02:19He was making it until he was found out.

01:02:23Not that they did anything.

01:02:25Nick had friends in high places.

01:02:27Who?

01:02:29His pharmacology professor.

01:02:31A guy called James Mitchell.

01:02:33Rumour was he got it all hushed up to keep Daniel out of trouble.

01:02:37Daniel.

01:02:38His son.

01:02:39Daniel was next best mate.

01:02:43Daniel was next best mate.

01:02:45Daniel was next best mate.

01:02:46Daniel was next best mate...
