00:00:00I've seen a lot of good things out there today. I've seen a lot of guts and enthusiasm.
00:00:05Guts and enthusiasm?
00:00:07I've seen a lot of pulling together and mutual support and teamwork.
00:00:13Ah, yes. Teamwork.
00:00:17But that doesn't go for everyone, of course. What is your problem, Mr. Baird?
00:00:21I just don't see the point, that's all.
00:00:24The point is the team. The point is you're letting down the team.
00:00:30I don't think so.
00:00:32Oh, don't you?
00:00:34No.
00:00:36You want to know my problem?
00:00:42I've worked for Cougar Publishing for 15 years.
00:00:45I'm a PR man, and a pretty damn good one, as it happens,
00:00:49and I fail to see how getting dressed up in a ridiculous uniform,
00:00:53running around playing soldiers,
00:00:54and allowing myself to be bullied and humiliated
00:00:56by a tin-pot little dictator like you
00:00:58who can possibly make me better at my job than I already am.
00:01:01Say that again.
00:01:02Don't push me, please.
00:01:03Go on, say it again.
00:01:03Don't push me!
00:01:04Don't push me!
00:01:04Don't you think you should stop this?
00:01:06Colonel...
00:01:06You haven't got the guts.
00:01:11Colonel, please.
00:01:12Let's call it a day there, shall we?
00:01:25Early start tomorrow.
00:01:28Good night, everyone.
00:01:28Hey, miss.
00:01:45Robert!
00:01:46Okay, what have you got?
00:01:56You're not going to believe this.
00:01:58Try me.
00:01:59That phone number, right?
00:02:01Who?
00:02:02Robert Falkirk.
00:02:04He used his own name for the book.
00:02:06There's something else.
00:02:07Ian was checking out his army record,
00:02:09and it turns out he was in the same regiment as Barbara Hancock's husband.
00:02:12So you could already have known her?
00:02:13Yes, sir.
00:02:15Good work.
00:02:30Jackie.
00:02:32Listen, I don't want you to think...
00:02:34Yeah.
00:02:36The old man's been under a lot of pressure, that's all.
00:02:40His, um...
00:02:41His wife died recently.
00:02:44Well, I think he needs some help.
00:02:47Otherwise, somebody's going to get badly hurt.
00:02:49Heather, has Jackie signed an indemnity form yet?
00:02:53Uh, we've run out of them.
00:02:55Well, I think the Colonel brought some back from town.
00:02:57Could you check his desk, please?
00:02:58You just don't know him, Jackie.
00:03:08He'll be fine by tomorrow.
00:03:09You'll see.
00:03:09You'll see.
00:03:09Oh, you're right.
00:03:26Okay, cool.
00:03:27Don't think this is all that I'm going to be here.
00:03:57Oh, my God.
00:04:27Oh, my God.
00:04:37Yee-haw.
00:04:39Thanks for that.
00:04:42Keep keen over here.
00:04:45I'll see you back at the office, all right?
00:04:47All right, everyone.
00:04:49We're way back to Argyle Hurts.
00:04:52So, follow me at the double.
00:04:57All right.
00:05:15Hi. Can I help you?
00:05:17Yeah, I'm looking for a Colonel Falkirk.
00:05:19What for?
00:05:21I think we'll discuss that with them, if you don't mind.
00:05:24Colonel!
00:05:26These two are policemen.
00:05:28Thank you, Heather.
00:05:30Take over for me, would you?
00:05:32Key, you lot.
00:05:33Come on, follow me.
00:05:34Are you okay?
00:05:35In the bloody pink, why wouldn't I be?
00:05:38Any idea of your Peter left?
00:05:39I've got you.
00:05:40Why do you want to know?
00:05:41No reason.
00:05:42Last I saw, he was heading down to the log.
00:05:43Do you mind?
00:05:44Sure.
00:05:45I reckon she fancies him.
00:05:49We'd like to ask you a few questions about your relationship with Barbara Hancock.
00:05:53I heard, of course.
00:05:54I heard, of course.
00:05:55Terrible business.
00:05:56Why do you want to know?
00:05:58No reason.
00:05:59Last I saw, he was heading down to the log.
00:06:01Do you mind?
00:06:02Sure.
00:06:07I reckon she fancies him.
00:06:14We'd like to ask you a few questions
00:06:16about your relationship with Barbara Hancock.
00:06:21I heard, of course.
00:06:23Terrible business.
00:06:25You don't deny you had a relationship?
00:06:28There's not much point, is there?
00:06:30If you didn't know already,
00:06:31you'd hardly have bothered making the trip.
00:06:36In any case, it's no great secret.
00:06:44My wife died recently from multiple sclerosis.
00:06:50The physical side of our marriage
00:06:53had been non-existent for years,
00:06:54and she understood that I had certain needs.
00:06:58She knew you were seeing a prostitute.
00:07:01Escort is the preferred term, I believe, but yes.
00:07:04I was introduced to Barbara
00:07:06through some rather grim little agency,
00:07:09and we met about twice a week thereafter
00:07:11at my wife's town flat.
00:07:14When she died and left it to Penny,
00:07:16we continued to meet at Barbara's home.
00:07:18So you'd never met her before?
00:07:21As a matter of fact, I had.
00:07:24Turned out that her husband
00:07:25had been a private in my regiment.
00:07:28He was killed in a helicopter crash.
00:07:29She needed the money,
00:07:32and I was happy to feel that I could contribute.
00:07:35You have a strange sense of loyalty, Colonel Paul.
00:07:39I suppose some people might think so.
00:07:41But then,
00:07:43loyalty of any kind is rare these days, isn't it?
00:07:46Did it never occur to you
00:07:51that your clients or the press
00:07:53might be less understanding than your wife?
00:07:55I can't say it did.
00:07:57Weren't you worried about blackmail?
00:07:59I've always thought that blackmail victims
00:08:01ought to be very weak people.
00:08:03It's not something I'd ever tolerate myself.
00:08:07Do sit.
00:08:10I'm not quite sure how to take that.
00:08:13Take it however you please, Inspector.
00:08:14We found £5,000 in Barbara's flat.
00:08:18Did you give it to her?
00:08:19Of course not.
00:08:21And where do you think she got it?
00:08:23She had other clients, presumably.
00:08:26Did you ever meet a friend of hers
00:08:27called Gloria Feeney?
00:08:29No.
00:08:30She had your phone number.
00:08:32It's in the book.
00:08:33We know she called it on the night she died.
00:08:37Really?
00:08:38Can you explain that?
00:08:40Perhaps she was interested in taking the course.
00:08:44Mr. Latham reported your stepdaughter missing three days ago.
00:09:04Where do you think she is?
00:09:05Off with some chap, I'd imagine.
00:09:07We spoke to her boyfriend.
00:09:09He claims he hasn't seen her.
00:09:11Maybe there was more than one.
00:09:13Penny never did do things by halves.
00:09:15Did you know she was planning to take the money out of business?
00:09:17Set up a partnership with someone else?
00:09:19Where on earth do you get that idea?
00:09:22It's absurd.
00:09:22It's not too fun to have her own comfort to do anything of the kind.
00:09:27Was.
00:09:28Thank your pardon?
00:09:29You keep using the past tense.
00:09:31Is, then?
00:09:33Really, I thought you chaps were investigating a murder.
00:09:36I don't see the connection.
00:09:38And neither do we, at the moment.
00:09:42In that case, gentlemen,
00:09:43I think I've given you quite enough of my time.
00:09:52Hi, dear.
00:10:19Oh, Jackie.
00:10:20How you doing?
00:10:21I'm all right.
00:10:24How are you?
00:10:25What are you up to?
00:10:26Oh, I've just been sitting out there on the water.
00:10:29It helps me think.
00:10:31This is one of my wife Penny's favourite places.
00:10:34She's always talking about turning it into some kind of summer house.
00:10:38Didn't know you were married.
00:10:41No, well...
00:10:43She, um...
00:10:45She left me.
00:10:47Quite recently, in fact.
00:10:50I'm sorry.
00:10:51Yeah.
00:10:58One more thing.
00:11:00Where were you on Sunday night?
00:11:01In Glasgow.
00:11:02My club.
00:11:04I suppose I must have got there at about...
00:11:05ten o'clock.
00:11:07And you didn't go back out again?
00:11:10Well, I may have taken a stroll at some point.
00:11:12I find I get restless after a long drive.
00:11:14And Tuesday night between, say, eleven p.m. and one o'clock.
00:11:19I was on my way back.
00:11:21Can anyone confirm that?
00:11:23Heather?
00:11:25What time did I get back on Tuesday?
00:11:28Just before midnight, Colonel.
00:11:30You're sure?
00:11:39I expect we'll be in touch.
00:11:40I should have seen it coming.
00:11:53You know, you play it over and over in your mind,
00:11:55and each time you see the signs more clearly.
00:11:57Friday evening, she asked me to give a lift to the station.
00:12:03When we got to the boathouse, she asked me to stop.
00:12:06And she just stood and...
00:12:09looked out over the lock, just as if it was the last time.
00:12:16Oh, she loved it here.
00:12:17I knew there was something, but...
00:12:24I don't know, I just suppose I thought
00:12:25she'd had another row with the Colonel.
00:12:27Did they row a lot?
00:12:29Oh, all the time.
00:12:31They're so alike.
00:12:34Anyway,
00:12:36when I dropped her off at the station
00:12:37and she kissed me goodbye...
00:12:41I just never dreamt that it would...
00:12:47I'm sorry.
00:12:51It's an army romance, you know.
00:12:53The Colonel never really approved.
00:12:56See, I came up through the ranks.
00:12:59Not of her class, you know.
00:13:02Of course, he was right.
00:13:05You think a lot of him, don't you?
00:13:07Oh, yeah.
00:13:09He's a great man.
00:13:12It's very difficult to live in someone else's shadow, Peter.
00:13:17I think you undervalue yourself.
00:13:21Thanks.
00:13:24Don't mention it.
00:13:36Pussy?
00:13:39That rather depends what you had in mind.
00:13:43How do you feel about a quiet night
00:13:46getting smashed out of your brains
00:13:50with the murder suspect?
00:13:52Hmm.
00:13:53Perfect.
00:13:53Perfect.
00:14:09I've been thinking about the money we found in Barbara's flat.
00:14:13What about it?
00:14:13Well, Penny Letton withdrew £15,000 the day she left.
00:14:18Could there be a link?
00:14:19It's worth checking.
00:14:20Try the bank.
00:14:28Falkirk.
00:14:29Call for you, Colonel.
00:14:31And Angus Murray.
00:14:34Put it through.
00:14:35Robert Falkirk.
00:14:41I know what you did, you bastard.
00:14:43Oh, really?
00:14:44She always hated you.
00:14:46She told me so often enough.
00:14:48But even she never thought you'd go this far.
00:14:50I'd be careful what you say if I were you.
00:14:53You don't scare me.
00:14:55I'm going to have your balls, you bastard.
00:14:58I'm hanging up now, Mr. Money.
00:15:00Bastard!
00:15:01Bastard!
00:15:05I'm hanging up now, Mr. Money.
00:15:07I'm hanging up now, Mr. Money.
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:29What?
00:15:30Yes, okay, I'll be there five minutes, right?
00:15:56Who was it?
00:15:58The police.
00:16:00Oh, my God.
00:16:01It's just Penny's bloody alarm system again.
00:16:06Go back to sleep.
00:16:28We're here to sleep.
00:16:30I hate to sleep, right?
00:16:31That's all right.
00:16:32I'm over here.
00:16:34I'm over here.
00:16:35You're pretty well, all right?
00:16:37I'm over here.
00:16:38We'd be like, no, no, no, no.
00:16:40I'm over here.
00:16:41I'm over here.
00:16:42I got my bed, where's my bed?
00:16:43I don't know.
00:17:13Hello?
00:17:32Is there anybody there?
00:17:39Hello?
00:17:59Penny, is that you?
00:18:08Penny?
00:18:09Penny?
00:18:28Penny?
00:18:35Penny?
00:18:36Ah!
00:18:37Ah!
00:18:38Ah!
00:18:39Ah!
00:18:40Ah!
00:18:41Ah!
00:18:42Ah!
00:18:43Ah!
00:18:44Ah!
00:18:45Ah!
00:18:50Ah!
00:18:51Ah!
00:18:52Ah!
00:18:53Ah!
00:18:54Oh, my God.
00:19:24Oh.
00:19:41Early start, Michael.
00:19:45What happened to you?
00:19:47Oh, I, er...
00:19:49I couldn't sleep last night,
00:19:50so I decided to go for a breath of fresh air
00:19:52and, er, accidentally slipped.
00:19:54That's the official version anyway.
00:20:14You don't know who it was?
00:20:16No, afraid not.
00:20:17I think your visit yesterday
00:20:19must have put the frighteners on someone.
00:20:21I don't know what they were burning in that stove,
00:20:23but I don't think it was coal.
00:20:24You sure you're okay?
00:20:26Yeah, I'll live.
00:20:27Heather fixed me up.
00:20:29What was she doing up at that time?
00:20:31She said I wakened her up coming back into the house.
00:20:34Where was Falkirk?
00:20:36I don't know.
00:20:37I mean, I could hardly check all the beds, could I?
00:20:40I do know that his car had gone, though.
00:20:51I don't know.
00:20:52I don't know.
00:20:57We put a press release out and Penny left her
00:20:59and ran her picture in the news last night.
00:21:01But I've had no response,
00:21:03apart from the usual quota of cracks.
00:21:06You think she's dead, don't you?
00:21:10What about the husband?
00:21:11Well, he's in the clear, isn't he?
00:21:14I mean, there's nothing to connect him with their two victims.
00:21:17And Penny was seen alive in Glasgow on Saturday morning, wasn't she?
00:21:20Yeah.
00:21:21Well, he was off up a hill on some survival exercise.
00:21:24Any witnesses?
00:21:25Oh, I've made a list from the course log.
00:21:28That should be easy enough to check.
00:21:30Was Falkirk on this exercise?
00:21:33No, it was too small a group.
00:21:36He decided to stay on at Argyle House
00:21:38to catch up with some paperwork, apparently.
00:21:40Heather?
00:21:41Oh, no.
00:21:42She called off at last moment with a bout of flu.
00:21:45So, both their movements that weekend would be unaccounted for?
00:21:49Yep.
00:21:50And by his own admission, Falkirk was in Glasgow on Sunday
00:21:53when Barbara Hancock died,
00:21:55which just leaves his alibi for Tuesday night.
00:21:58Heather said he was back by 12 o'clock.
00:22:01Well, I wouldn't put much store in that.
00:22:04What?
00:22:05You think they could be in on it together?
00:22:07Oh, I think she'd cut her own throat if we asked her nicely.
00:22:10What about Murray?
00:22:12The interior designer.
00:22:13Who does he fit in?
00:22:14I wish I knew.
00:22:21Hey, boss!
00:22:23What?
00:22:26What is it?
00:22:31Well, that's this job building truly knackered.
00:22:49How long is this survival trip supposed to last?
00:22:5248 hours.
00:22:54They drew back on Sunday night.
00:22:56They?
00:22:57Well, there's not much point in me going now.
00:22:59Well, no.
00:23:00Whoever clobbered me must have a pretty good idea why I'm here.
00:23:03Losing your taste for the great outdoors, eh?
00:23:05Oh, you could say that.
00:23:11Jordan?
00:23:12Sir?
00:23:13Bad news.
00:23:14Angus Murray's dead.
00:23:16The decorators found the body in Penny Litham's flat.
00:23:20Okay.
00:23:21I'll, er, I'll meet you over there.
00:23:26Angus Murray was killed last night.
00:23:29So, whoever it was who attacked you, presumably it wasn't the killer.
00:23:34Is Falkirk definitely going in the exercise this thing?
00:23:38I imagine so.
00:23:39I want you to stick with it, Jackie.
00:23:41I don't want him disappearing on us.
00:23:43Yeah, right.
00:23:45Okay, everyone ready to go in five minutes, please.
00:23:49I was wondering where you got to.
00:23:51Oh, I fancy some fresh air.
00:23:53Uh-huh.
00:23:54I've heard that can be quite dangerous for you, concerned.
00:23:57You sure you're up for making the trip?
00:23:59Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine.
00:24:02Couldn't miss it for the world.
00:24:03Good.
00:24:06She's a police spy.
00:24:07I know she is.
00:24:09Hmm.
00:24:11I always thought there was something not quite right about her.
00:24:15What are we going to do?
00:24:17Do?
00:24:18Absolutely nothing.
00:24:20We carry on as normal.
00:24:22After all, we don't want to look as if we have anything to hide.
00:24:30Hamish, I've been talking to Diane.
00:24:31Oh, yes.
00:24:33Look, I know we've had our differences, but if you want to pull out,
00:24:36then no one's going to think any of the worst of you for it, okay?
00:24:39I wouldn't give that bastard the satisfaction.
00:24:42All set.
00:24:44Jawohl, mein Fuhrer.
00:25:00How's Jackie?
00:25:05She's okay, I think.
00:25:07Well, if you say so.
00:25:09Look, there are ten other people on that course, Fraser,
00:25:12and she's in constant touch on her mobile.
00:25:15She's not at any risk.
00:25:17We think our man let himself in through the back.
00:25:18He obviously knew his way around.
00:25:29Probably had a waiting vehicle, don't you think?
00:25:31Yeah.
00:25:32John.
00:25:48Let's see if Forensics can get a cast of those.
00:25:51Then I want the whole place sealed off in search,
00:25:52just as soon as you're finished with the flat.
00:25:54Yes, sir.
00:25:55Sir!
00:25:59Looks like we've got an eyewitness.
00:26:00The next-door neighbour of Mrs McLeod.
00:26:03She was also woken by the noise.
00:26:05She saw someone leave by the gate.
00:26:07Could she give us a description?
00:26:08Not really.
00:26:09She said he was wearing some sort of army-type jacket
00:26:12with the hood up.
00:26:18Oh, man!
00:26:21Check it out!
00:26:23Hee!
00:26:24All right.
00:26:25Isn't this great?
00:26:27Everyone gather round.
00:26:28Come on.
00:26:29Nice table.
00:26:32Here's the bad news.
00:26:34Your plane just crashed.
00:26:36Uh-oh.
00:26:38Fortunately, you managed to salvage a map and compass from the wreckage,
00:26:41along with some plastic sheeting to make shelter,
00:26:44food and water rations for 48 hours,
00:26:46and, uh, 50 metres of rope.
00:26:50Mr. Turner, do you carry that?
00:26:51Sure, thanks.
00:26:53And Argyle House is roughly 25 miles that way.
00:26:57All right!
00:26:59So...
00:27:01Let's make a start.
00:27:03Come on.
00:27:09Away you go, George.
00:27:16At the end of the day, what have you really got on Falkirk?
00:27:19Well, he admits paying Barbara Hancock for sex,
00:27:21and he was alone in Glasgow on Sunday night.
00:27:23We also know that Gloria Feeney called him just before she died.
00:27:27But according to Heather Robby, he was 60 miles away.
00:27:29She's lying.
00:27:31Can you prove that?
00:27:32Not yet.
00:27:33We've got an eyewitness placing him at the scene last night.
00:27:36A man in a camouflage jacket.
00:27:39Come on.
00:27:40It has to be Falkirk.
00:27:42He knew the layout.
00:27:43He had the keys and the code for the alarm.
00:27:45So did the decorators, and so did his stepdaughter.
00:27:49His stepdaughter's dead, sir.
00:27:50So you keep telling me.
00:27:52But have you one scrap of evidence?
00:27:54No.
00:27:55Which is why I need a warrant to search Argyle House.
00:27:57For what?
00:27:58The body.
00:28:00I know it's there.
00:28:01In the woods there.
00:28:02The ground somewhere.
00:28:05Why in God's name?
00:28:06Because if it was anywhere else, we'd have found it by now.
00:28:10You're not making any sense, Michael.
00:28:13Excuse me, sir.
00:28:14Not now.
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:20Penny Latham is seen in Glasgow on Saturday morning, right?
00:28:26So what do you say?
00:28:28Falkirk killed her, took the body up north, and came back the next night and killed the Hancock woman?
00:28:32It's only 60 miles, sir.
00:28:34And he and Heather were alone up there the whole weekend.
00:28:36No, Michael, we've got three bodies to contend with without looking for a fourth that may not exist.
00:28:43In any case, a warrant's out. The question with no grouse.
00:28:47Penny Latham.
00:28:49She's the key to this whole thing. I know it, sir.
00:28:52Then prove it.
00:28:54I've forecast you back on Sunday night.
00:28:57Yes.
00:28:58Then you've got 36 hours to put a case together.
00:29:00Otherwise, you'll have to have him in again and question it.
00:29:02He's not exactly going to break down and confess, is he?
00:29:05I'm sorry, Michael.
00:29:11Any word from Jackie, by the way?
00:29:14Uh, not yet, sir.
00:29:15Yes, sir.
00:29:31What's the problem, Diane?
00:29:32My feet are killing me.
00:29:36You okay, Hamish?
00:29:45Come on.
00:29:51Calling the office, Jackie?
00:29:54Uh, no, I...
00:29:56I was just calling a friend.
00:29:58I'd arranged to meet her for a drink and I'd forgotten.
00:30:01I think you find those things aren't too reliable up here.
00:30:04Ugh.
00:30:05Not to worry.
00:30:07We'd better be moving.
00:30:08Don't forget this.
00:30:09Oh.
00:30:14Sorry.
00:30:19Sir.
00:30:20Okay, what is it?
00:30:21I spoke to the manager of the Highland Bank on George Street.
00:30:24It's where Penny Latham went through the £15,000.
00:30:27It's the only branch that's open on a Saturday morning.
00:30:29Yeah, get on with it, Fraser.
00:30:30Well, the thing is, the money was in new notes
00:30:33and the serial numbers match those with the ones we found at Barbara Hancock's spot.
00:30:37Wait a minute.
00:30:39You're saying Penny paid Barbara?
00:30:41Yes, sir.
00:30:42What for?
00:30:45Oh, and Vanessa McCormack called.
00:30:47She just heard about Murray and she'd like to talk to you.
00:30:50Come on.
00:30:51Let's not keep the lady waiting.
00:31:00Any chance for another rest, Colonel?
00:31:05Let's get to the top first, shall we?
00:31:08Sure thing.
00:31:11Colonel, the weather's closing in a bit.
00:31:14Thank you, I had noticed.
00:31:20Come on, Peter.
00:31:22Get those slackers moving back there.
00:31:26You're doing great, Hamish.
00:31:28Just take your time, okay?
00:31:30Who is it?
00:31:55Please, Miss McCormack.
00:31:58Come in.
00:32:00Oh.
00:32:08So, have you arrested him yet?
00:32:10Who?
00:32:11Well, Robert bloody Falkirk.
00:32:13Who else?
00:32:23Peter!
00:32:30We're way behind schedule.
00:32:32Can't you get those two to go any faster?
00:32:34We're pushing them too hard, Colonel.
00:32:36They're just not up to it.
00:32:39In that case, I'm going to split the group.
00:32:41You and I will go ahead with the others and set up camp,
00:32:43and Heather can follow with the stragglers.
00:32:45That's crazy!
00:32:47We should be turning back!
00:32:48Giving up, you mean?
00:32:50Oh, Colonel, the rules say that we should travel in groups of four in case of injury.
00:32:54I know what the rules say.
00:32:56I wrote them.
00:32:57Heather, you take Jackie Reed.
00:33:00Keep an eye on her.
00:33:03Right.
00:33:04I'll get the ropes!
00:33:06Question my judgment again.
00:33:07You'll be looking for another job.
00:33:09Yes, Colonel.
00:33:10Sorry.
00:33:11Ready to move in five minutes, then.
00:33:14So, why do you now think it was Falkirk?
00:33:16Well, they had this dreadful row when Angus rang him earlier.
00:33:19He more or less accused him outright of killing Penny.
00:33:23Didn't I mention that?
00:33:24Mr. Murray accused Colonel Falkirk?
00:33:26Well, I thought he was absolutely raving, to be quite honest,
00:33:29but he was obviously right, don't you think?
00:33:31Let's just take this one step at a time.
00:33:34Why would Mr. Murray think Falkirk had killed Penny?
00:33:37Because of the money, I suppose.
00:33:40Um, sorry.
00:33:40Angus was in debt, you see.
00:33:46He always was absolutely hopeless with money.
00:33:49But when he and Penny started having their little fling,
00:33:52he got this idea that she should take her money out of executive adventures
00:33:56and go into partnership with him.
00:33:58Yeah, yeah, he told us about that.
00:34:00He told just about anyone who would listen, but it was pure fantasy.
00:34:04But Penny didn't want to.
00:34:05Mm.
00:34:06She wanted to, but she couldn't because of the will.
00:34:09She got half the business, you see, but she couldn't sell up
00:34:12without her stepfather's consent.
00:34:14And of course he wouldn't.
00:34:15Consent, I mean.
00:34:19But Mr. Murray must have known that.
00:34:20Once Angus got an idea into his head, there was absolutely no shifting it.
00:34:25He still thought it was going to be the saving of him.
00:34:28Right, Amanda?
00:34:32Poor Angus.
00:34:33Yes, er, well, er, thanks very much, Miss McCormack.
00:34:37You've been very helpful.
00:34:39Let's take another breather.
00:34:40I don't think he's going to make it.
00:34:50Ah!
00:34:51Diane!
00:34:56Why would Penny Latham be a call girl 5,000 pounds?
00:35:00I hate to think.
00:35:02Well, what if it wasn't Barbara that was blackmailing Falkirk, but Penny?
00:35:06But why?
00:35:08Vanessa's just told you, hasn't she?
00:35:09I mean, here she is, desperate to get away from Argyle House
00:35:13and set up in business in the glamorous world of interior design
00:35:17with her sexy boyfriend,
00:35:19and the only person that can stop it is Falkirk.
00:35:22So she uses Barbara to put pressure on him to buy her out.
00:35:25The 5,000 could just have been payment to Barbara for going along with her.
00:35:29But if Murray was in on it too,
00:35:31that would give Falkirk a motive for wanting rid of all three of them.
00:35:34Right.
00:35:36Now all we have to do is prove it.
00:35:42I think he's just a sprain.
00:35:43How famous?
00:35:45Damn him.
00:35:45If he wasn't up to it, he should have said.
00:35:47I don't exactly remember anyone giving him the choice.
00:35:51We're going to have to go for help.
00:35:54It'll be dark by the time we reach the others.
00:35:56There's a road here I think we should head, Street 4.
00:36:00It's about six miles.
00:36:02Do you think you can manage that?
00:36:05Diane, use a whistle.
00:36:08Use it.
00:36:09It'll help the search party find you.
00:36:12And chocolate.
00:36:13Oh, goody.
00:36:15And try and keep him warm.
00:36:20Come on, then.
00:36:21Don't go running off, eh?
00:36:26Can you not leave these damn things alone?
00:36:56Sir, I've been checking the list of people that were on the course last weekend.
00:37:00They all say that Peter Lethem was with them the whole time,
00:37:02so it looks as if he's out of it.
00:37:05Oh, and we managed to track down the taxi
00:37:07that picked Penny Lethem up from the hotel.
00:37:09And?
00:37:10It took her to the bank in George Street,
00:37:12waited 15 minutes,
00:37:13well, she took the money out, I guess,
00:37:15and then dropped her at 11.15
00:37:16outside the Kelvin Bridge subway station.
00:37:18Just a few minutes' walk from Barbara Hancock's place?
00:37:21Yes, sir.
00:37:22So she gives Barbara a cut, then what?
00:37:24Well, presumably she must have met Falkirk at some point.
00:37:28Seems a roundabout way to do it.
00:37:31I wonder what the hell she was up to,
00:37:33what she was doing at that hotel.
00:37:35Maybe she thought it was safer.
00:37:36She must have known Falkirk would react badly to blackmail.
00:37:39I don't know.
00:37:41I still think we're missing something.
00:37:43I'll go and check up in the Socos.
00:37:45You keep trying Jackie's phone.
00:37:46How much further?
00:37:57What's the matter, Jackie?
00:37:59Can't take it.
00:38:00I thought you people were supposed to be tough.
00:38:03What people?
00:38:04You human resources types, I mean.
00:38:06Damn it.
00:38:17We must have come off too far west somehow.
00:38:22It doesn't look too bad.
00:38:25Actually,
00:38:25it could save us some time getting to that road.
00:38:29Heather,
00:38:40there's no way I'm going down there.
00:38:43It could take us an other hour
00:38:45to work our way round,
00:38:46and that's not going to help Hamish and Diane, is it?
00:38:50Of course,
00:38:50if you haven't got the guts,
00:38:52it's up to you.
00:38:53They should have been here by now, huh, Colonel?
00:39:14Well, can't you call out the Rangers or something?
00:39:18What with smoke signals?
00:39:19We'll go back for them.
00:39:24What, all of us?
00:39:25Jeez, that's some pretty badass weather up there, Colonel.
00:39:28This is not a theme park, Mr. Turner.
00:39:30This is not a video game.
00:39:31You're cold, you're tired, you're hungry.
00:39:33Well, congratulations.
00:39:34That's what you signed up for.
00:39:35Welcome to real life.
00:39:36Stop it.
00:39:38Just stop it.
00:39:42The Colonel and I'll go alone.
00:39:45You'll be fine here.
00:39:47If we find them and they're okay,
00:39:48then we'll be back for you in a couple of hours.
00:39:50If not, we'll give you a position to mountain rescue.
00:39:53Either way, you'll be back at Argyle House by tonight.
00:39:56Oh, and you're in charge now?
00:39:59Yes, Colonel.
00:40:00It rather looks as if I am.
00:40:05Well, are you coming?
00:40:06Just lean well out and relax.
00:40:24There's nothing to it.
00:40:26Yeah, right.
00:40:27What's the matter, Jackie?
00:40:29Don't you trust me?
00:40:30You're a policewoman, aren't you?
00:40:54How did you know?
00:40:55Colonel, you're not going to tell, are you?
00:40:59About the other night?
00:41:02No?
00:41:05Good.
00:41:08I'm going to lower you down gently.
00:41:11Don't worry.
00:41:12Don't worry.
00:41:12Don't worry.
00:41:12Don't worry.
00:41:25Inspector.
00:41:28Inspector.
00:41:39You're doing fine.
00:41:51Heather!
00:41:52What's happening?
00:42:11Sorry.
00:42:12The billet slipped.
00:42:14Just hang on when I refix the line.
00:42:22Come.
00:42:25There's definitely Penny Latham, sir.
00:42:28I haven't got a match on the blood type yet.
00:42:30They're her credit cards.
00:42:33And I thought your theory was that Falkirk killed her at Argyle House?
00:42:37No, sir.
00:42:38I think he killed her in the flat, then moved the body later.
00:42:41Then why not dispose of the bag at the same time?
00:42:44Maybe he was trying to confuse the picture.
00:42:46He's not infallible, sir.
00:42:47He made a mistake.
00:42:48The point is, here's the proof that she's dead.
00:42:51All right.
00:42:53I'll see what I can do to get you that warrant.
00:42:57Still no word from Jackie?
00:42:58No, sir.
00:43:00Then why not try the local boys, see if they've heard anything?
00:43:02Oh, we've already tried that.
00:43:04No luck, I'm afraid.
00:43:16Jackie!
00:43:19Heather!
00:43:19Heather!
00:43:21Heather!
00:43:22Jackie!
00:43:24Jackie!
00:43:44Stop!
00:43:45Stop!
00:43:46Do you have a mobile?
00:43:49Do you take a step forward?
00:43:56Yes?
00:43:58Yeah.
00:44:00When?
00:44:04Mountain Rescue.
00:44:06There's been an accident.
00:44:08Two casualties.
00:44:11Where?
00:44:13Are you sure?
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:16It doesn't sound as if either's DS Reid.
00:44:20Right.
00:44:23Thanks.
00:44:31Okay?
00:44:33Yeah, I'm fine.
00:44:36So what really happened up there, Heather?
00:44:39I told you already.
00:44:41The belae slipped.
00:44:45It's them.
00:44:46Are you all right?
00:44:50Yes, it's all right.
00:44:51Thank God.
00:44:58Well, Peter, if you want to say I told you so, now's the time.
00:45:02Look, Colonel.
00:45:03Look.
00:45:04I told you Heather to get you down, okay?
00:45:08Oh, yeah.
00:45:10She certainly did that.
00:45:18When this gets around, you're finished, you know that.
00:45:21Yes, Mr. Turner, I know that.
00:45:26Why don't you just leave him alone?
00:45:29What can you tell us?
00:45:32What can you tell us?
00:45:49Well, she didn't drown.
00:45:51Well, she didn't drown.
00:45:52There are massive throat wounds.
00:45:53Same as others?
00:45:55Almost certainly.
00:45:57And rope marks on the wrists and ankles where she was tied down to something.
00:46:01I'd say she was in the water at least a week.
00:46:03That figures.
00:46:04Looks as if we won't need that warrant after all.
00:46:07Do I take it you know who she is?
00:46:09I'm guessing her name is Penny Latham.
00:46:12How far is it to Argyle House?
00:46:14About something eight mile up the lock.
00:46:15No idea, no?
00:46:16No, sir.
00:46:17Jewelry, rings?
00:46:19Oh, there was a wedding band, but I think we're having a bit of a trouble getting it off.
00:46:22Uh, and one earring.
00:46:24Could I have it?
00:46:26I presume she lost the other in the wash, so to speak.
00:46:32You better come with us.
00:46:33I'm expecting to make an arrest.
00:46:37Never again.
00:46:42According to the wise, Pete, your Colonel Falkirk's trouble.
00:46:45If I was you, I'd get myself another job.
00:46:47I can't do that, I'm afraid, Mr. Turner.
00:46:50But, uh, look, I'm sorry about the way things turned out, okay?
00:46:57Get us out of this hellhole, driver.
00:47:07Hi, can I help you?
00:47:27What is it? What's happened?
00:47:29Could we go somewhere and sit down, do you think?
00:47:30Just, just tell me.
00:47:33It's Penny, isn't it?
00:47:34Our body was found earlier, yes.
00:47:37Oh, God.
00:47:38I'm afraid you're going to have to do a formal identification later.
00:47:42But do you recognise this?
00:47:44Yes, it's Penny's.
00:47:47Oh, God.
00:47:49Oh, God.
00:47:51Take him inside and get my drink.
00:47:52What's wrong?
00:48:06Chris Falkirk.
00:48:08I don't know.
00:48:11I haven't seen him since last night.
00:48:14Colonel!
00:48:16Is car still there?
00:48:18Have you got a key?
00:48:20Yes.
00:48:20Well, open it!
00:48:33Robert!
00:48:34Get her out of here.
00:48:47Looks like suicide, doesn't it?
00:48:50Cuzzled throat.
00:48:51Call Dr. Andrews.
00:48:54Check the serial numbers on those.
00:48:56Maybe Penny's missing 10,000.
00:48:58Michael.
00:49:01This is addressed to you.
00:49:12It's a full confession, sir.
00:49:13Pretty much as we thought.
00:49:14Angus Murray and Penny Latham used his relationship with Barbara Hancock to pressure him into buying
00:49:21out Penny's half of the business.
00:49:23When he couldn't raise the cash, he decided to kill all three of them.
00:49:27Forensics have confirmed it's the same knife in all three murders.
00:49:29What about Gloria Feeney?
00:49:32Evidently, Barbara told her what was going on, and she made the mistake of trying to get in
00:49:36on the blackmail.
00:49:37Why kill himself now?
00:49:39He couldn't have known we'd found the body.
00:49:41It was only a matter of time, though, wasn't it, sir?
00:49:43Well, apparently he'd been depressed about the accident yesterday.
00:49:47And, well, ever since his wife died, he was on the edge.
00:49:52How has a mighty fallen, Michael?
00:49:54Hmm.
00:49:54Yes, sir.
00:49:55Oh, and, uh, according to that, Heather Robbie wasn't involved.
00:50:01You believe that?
00:50:02I don't know, to be honest.
00:50:04Jackie's taken a statement from her now, but I think it's going to be impossible to prove
00:50:08either way.
00:50:13Excuse me, sir.
00:50:17Jarden?
00:50:18Michael?
00:50:19Stephen?
00:50:20Look, I'm just doing four cuts PM, and, well, something rather worrying's come up.
00:50:26I'll be right there.
00:50:31As no doubt you are aware, suicide by throat cutting is comparatively rare these days, and
00:50:38I was somewhat surprised by the absence of hesitation marks.
00:50:42So, I asked the lab to run a blood toxicology test, just to be on the safe side.
00:50:48And?
00:50:50It's positive for alcohol and obituaries.
00:50:53Obituaries?
00:50:53Hmm.
00:50:54Probably some prescription sleeping pill of some sort.
00:50:58Well, his wife, then, you know.
00:50:59Could have been hurt.
00:51:00Hmm, yes.
00:51:02But it's the amount, you see.
00:51:04With that amount in his bloodstream, my guess is he would have been unconscious.
00:51:14Michael?
00:51:17Okay, uh, thanks, Stephen.
00:51:20I don't know.
00:51:22Yeah.
00:51:23I think, you know, I think you'll have to take care of them.
00:51:25I'll see you.
00:51:26I don't know.
00:51:26I don't know.
00:51:26I don't know.
00:51:26I don't know.
00:51:27I don't know.
00:51:28I don't know.
00:51:28I don't know.
00:51:29problem sir you could say I've got a slight problem yeah Robert Falkert didn't kill himself
00:51:52what someone doped his whiskey waited for him to pass out
00:51:59and then cut his throat what about his confession I think I know what she was doing who Penny
00:52:11Latham I think I know what she was doing at that hotel don't be ridiculous Heather you can't just
00:52:18leave you really think I can stay on after this look I know you were very fond of the old man
00:52:24the whole thing's been a nightmare but we can start again we can recruit new people we can we can find
00:52:34new clients we can do it together like I planned it you're a sweet boy Peter
00:52:46I'd better go and pack
00:52:54I'm told you checked in a mrs. Penny Latham afraid of before last yeah that's right
00:53:24you sure about that but I remember quite clearly because her husband came in the following Monday
00:53:28and there was all that fuss about her going missing I mean you're sure it was mrs. Penny
00:53:32Latham well of course I checked her credit card you can see the register for yourself never mind the
00:53:37register okay just tell me is that her yeah you're absolutely certain yes definitely mr. Russell I'd say
00:53:47so okay thank you sir this isn't Penny Latham Fraser it's Barbara Hancock
00:53:56so okay
00:54:03so
00:57:10And when he died, well, we just kept in touch.
00:57:14You killed her to frame Falkirk.
00:57:16I made it so easy for you people.
00:57:20And then Gloria and Murray, and you still didn't get it.
00:57:26What did I have to do, huh?
00:57:28Scrawl his name in blood?
00:57:30It wasn't just that Penny was leaving me.
00:57:33It was this place.
00:57:34I love it.
00:57:35I love it here.
00:57:37And between them, they were just going to destroy it.
00:57:41I couldn't let them do that.
00:57:44I will have to close for a while, because it's been falling to pieces of it, as you can see.
00:57:48I can build it up again.
00:57:52You going to prison, Peter?
00:57:54Oh, I don't think so.
00:57:57It's no good, sir.
00:58:06It's no good, sir.
