00:00:00The End
00:00:15Guard!
00:00:16Guard!
00:00:17Shine!
00:00:18The Guard is ready for your inspection, sir.
00:00:31Thank you, Call Honnold.
00:00:39Evening, Bar.
00:00:40Evening, sir.
00:00:44Good.
00:00:46Evening, Brooks.
00:00:47Evening, sir.
00:00:52But none done on left arm pocket, Call Honnold.
00:00:54Yes, sir.
00:00:57Evening, Jones.
00:00:58Evening, sir.
00:01:02Good.
00:01:10If I could just have your autographs, too.
00:01:12It's called where?
00:01:13A chick in the sentry, sir.
00:01:14Hmm.
00:01:15Which way did he go?
00:01:16Down towards the quarters, sir.
00:01:17Tell him I'll see him in the morning, would you?
00:01:22Right, sir.
00:01:23Michael Honnold.
00:01:24Good night, sir.
00:01:25Good night, sir.
00:01:26Much way did he go.
00:01:27Down towards the quarters, sir.
00:01:34Tell him I'll see him in the morning, would you?
00:01:35Right, sir.
00:01:36Michael, Honnold.
00:01:37Goodnight, sir.
00:01:52I just want to get to the regiment.
00:01:54Bored up my skull here.
00:01:56Don't knock it.
00:01:57There's somebody shooting at you here.
00:02:02Two cent, over.
00:02:06Two, Roger.
00:02:07Out.
00:02:08What's up?
00:02:09Gardening what and over.
00:02:10I've seen Corporal Weir.
00:02:11He's out checking sentries.
00:02:13He'll be around in the married quarters.
00:02:16He lives in barracks.
00:02:18When have you been in the army?
00:02:20What?
00:02:21You mean...
00:02:29What's he doing, Doug?
00:02:36Don't move.
00:02:37Don't move.
00:02:38Don't move.
00:02:39Don't move.
00:02:41Don't move.
00:02:45Don't move.
00:02:54Good morning, Stephen.
00:03:01Good morning, Jackie.
00:03:04Chief Inspector Jordan, no less.
00:03:09Congratulations, right here, fella.
00:03:12Yeah.
00:03:13It doesn't stop me getting dragged out of my bed at 6 o'clock in the morning.
00:03:16Yeah.
00:03:17I'm sorry.
00:03:18I'm sorry.
00:03:19I'm sorry.
00:03:20I'm sorry.
00:03:21Yeah.
00:03:22It doesn't stop me getting dragged out of my bed at 6 o'clock in the morning, does it?
00:03:25Uh...
00:03:26Stabbed?
00:03:27Through the heart.
00:03:28I'd say death was instantaneous.
00:03:30Sometime between 4 minutes past 4 and 4.45 a.m.
00:03:34That exact?
00:03:36Well, he left the garden at 4.04 precisely, and they found his body at 4.45.
00:03:42You'll find they do everything by the clock round here.
00:03:45He was armed.
00:03:46Hmm.
00:03:47Standard issue, semi-automatic rifle.
00:03:49That's what they're looking for.
00:03:51Yeah.
00:03:52He didn't fire a shot nor raise the alarm.
00:03:55Could it have been done from behind?
00:03:57Unlikely, I'd say.
00:03:59So maybe he knew he's killer?
00:04:02Well, he was killed somewhere else.
00:04:04No.
00:04:05This is where he was killed.
00:04:11Who's he?
00:04:13Major Graham.
00:04:15I'm Andrew Graham, duty field officer.
00:04:18DCI Jarden, DS Reed.
00:04:19Hello.
00:04:20How do you do?
00:04:21Are you the commander of this unit?
00:04:23Uh, no.
00:04:24That's Colonel Sinclair.
00:04:25He's waiting for you in his office.
00:04:26I'll take you down there now.
00:04:28Thanks, Stephen.
00:04:30We're just a small holding unit.
00:04:35Rare party.
00:04:36Sick, lame, lazy.
00:04:38Few recruits from the training regiment.
00:04:40Rest are in Bosnia.
00:04:41Where were you when the body was found?
00:04:43In the mess.
00:04:44I'd just come back from turning the guard out.
00:04:46Why had you done that?
00:04:47It was routine.
00:04:48Part of my duties.
00:04:49I'd call them out at some random time during the night
00:04:51just to make sure they're up to the mark.
00:04:53And Corporal Weir wasn't there?
00:04:55He was out checking sentries.
00:04:57Lance Corporal Hornal took the parade.
00:04:59He's the guard to IC.
00:05:00Second in command.
00:05:02So there was two sentries out?
00:05:03Yes.
00:05:04Privates Wilson and Bell.
00:05:05They found the body.
00:05:06Is it usual for the guard commander to go out like that?
00:05:08Yes.
00:05:09It's one of his duties.
00:05:10Call Hornal.
00:05:12Yes, sir.
00:05:13Colonel Sinclair in his office.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:15He's got someone with him, sir.
00:05:16Who?
00:05:17Sergeant Renshaw, sir.
00:05:19SIB.
00:05:20What's SIB?
00:05:21Monkey's Love.
00:05:23Military Police.
00:05:24Special Investigation Branch.
00:05:27I wonder who invited them.
00:05:35Colonel.
00:05:38This is DS Reid.
00:05:40Hello.
00:05:41And, er...
00:05:42I'm sorry, DCI Jarden.
00:05:43Ian Sinclair.
00:05:44I'm in command here.
00:05:45Have you met Sergeant Renshaw?
00:05:46Sergeant Renshaw.
00:05:47We had heard he was about.
00:05:49Tom Renshaw.
00:05:50SIB.
00:05:51I've been assigned to this investigation.
00:05:53May I ask by him?
00:05:55When a soldier's killed, we have an interest.
00:05:57As long as you understand that this is a matter for Strathglade Police.
00:06:00All the same, this is an army base.
00:06:01We'll be conducting our own inquiry.
00:06:03Perhaps you can pool your resources.
00:06:05We do seem to have an embarrassment of riches here.
00:06:07Fine by me.
00:06:09Either way, you can be assured of our full cooperation.
00:06:12I'm assigning Major Graham to look after you.
00:06:14We'll be able to help you with any of our little ways that are not familiar.
00:06:18You'll find having an officer along opens a lot of doors.
00:06:21Excuse me.
00:06:22Colonel Sinclair.
00:06:23So, what do you think?
00:06:25Yes.
00:06:27Just one moment.
00:06:28I've got a secure line through to the regiment, so if you'll excuse me.
00:06:35The guard has stood down now.
00:06:36We've set aside the briefing room for interviews,
00:06:38so I suggest we adjourn to the mess for some breakfast.
00:06:43As we're going to be working together,
00:06:45maybe we should drop the formalities on Andrew.
00:06:48Jackie.
00:06:49Andrew!
00:06:50Excuse me.
00:06:53You stick to them like shit to a blanket.
00:06:55And keep me informed.
00:06:58Colonel.
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:00Yes.
00:07:01Yes.
00:07:02Yes.
00:07:03Yes.
00:07:04Yes.
00:07:05Yes.
00:07:06Yes.
00:07:07Yes.
00:07:08Yes.
00:07:09Yes.
00:07:10Yes.
00:07:11Yes.
00:07:12Yes.
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:14Yes.
00:07:15Yes.
00:07:16Yes.
00:07:17Yes.
00:07:18Yes.
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:20Yes.
00:07:21Yes.
00:07:22Yes.
00:07:23Yes.
00:07:24Yes.
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:26Yes.
00:07:2774.
00:07:29You got anything for me?
00:07:31It's not what I'm here for.
00:07:32I need a winner.
00:07:33Tell me about it.
00:07:34You know why.
00:07:36Boss.
00:07:37What?
00:07:38It's all right if I take five minutes.
00:07:41Five.
00:07:43Ten pound each one, Charlie's played.
00:07:45Ten pound each one, Charlie's played on 74.
00:07:47Take it 417.
00:07:54You might try that on the last.
00:07:57You sure?
00:07:58There are no certainties in this business.
00:07:59If there were, there'd be a punter and not a bookie.
00:08:10Thought we'd lost you, sir.
00:08:12Do I look lost, Stuart?
00:08:13No.
00:08:15Find anything?
00:08:17No.
00:08:18So what is this? A wind-up?
00:08:20Sir?
00:08:22Well, you know Jardine better than I do.
00:08:24I mean, I'm the new boy on the block.
00:08:25Is this his idea of a joke?
00:08:27Jardine's not much of a one for jokes.
00:08:30Well, if you're trying to pass count-of-feet notes,
00:08:32you're going to pick a bigger and busier meeting than this one.
00:08:35This gang have been working all the Scottish courses.
00:08:38Well, they're not working this one, Stuart.
00:08:39See anything you like the look of.
00:08:40Annie's lad in the 3.30.
00:08:41Why's that?
00:08:42Annie was my grandmother's name.
00:08:43You're a bookie's dream, son.
00:08:45They all look the same to me.
00:08:46So what do you fancy?
00:08:47Fancy a pint?
00:08:48A bar's over there.
00:08:49I'll catch you up.
00:08:50Fancy a pint?
00:08:51A bar's over there.
00:08:52I'll catch you up.
00:08:53I'll catch you up.
00:08:54Fancy a pint?
00:08:55Fancy a pint?
00:08:56A bar's over there.
00:08:57I'll catch you up.
00:08:58Fancy a pint?
00:08:59A bar's over there.
00:09:00I'll catch you up.
00:09:01Jakey, how are you doing?
00:09:02Mr Rosser-Hurden?
00:09:03Nah, you're all right, Jakey.
00:09:04So what do you do?
00:09:05Fancy a pint?
00:09:06I'll catch you up.
00:09:11I'll catch you up.
00:09:12Jakey, how you doing?
00:09:19Mr Rosser-Hurden?
00:09:21Nah, you're all right Jakey.
00:09:23So you him after.
00:09:26Looking for a good thing.
00:09:28Nah, you're all right, Jake. It's all you I'm after.
00:09:30Looking for a guy in this class and dodgy notes. Do you know anything?
00:09:33No. Honest.
00:09:36I'm wasting my time here.
00:09:38So what else do you know?
00:09:40You might try Gypsy Rover in the last race.
00:09:44Who's kidding?
00:09:46Somebody likes him.
00:09:47Somebody's in for a couple of grand.
00:09:49Who are you with?
00:09:50My man, Scott.
00:09:54Aye, well, maybe.
00:09:55Take care now, Jakey, eh?
00:09:58Aye.
00:10:04Who was that?
00:10:06Jakey Miller. That's for one of the bookies.
00:10:09Did he give you any good tips?
00:10:11There's certain things you don't do on duty, Stuart. Cheers.
00:10:15You and Private Wilson were patrolling the perimeter?
00:10:19Yes, sir.
00:10:21You don't need to call me, sir.
00:10:23So, you left the guard room at 3.45 a.m.?
00:10:28Yes, sir. I mean, yes.
00:10:31And the last time you saw Corporal Weir alive was in the guard room.
00:10:35The next time you saw him, he was dead, and that was 4.45 a.m.?
00:10:40Tug.
00:10:42That is Private Wilson. Looked at his watch.
00:10:44If I set out from the guard room to visit the sentries who were patrolling the perimeter,
00:10:51how long do you think it would take me to find him?
00:10:55Ten minutes. Fifteen marks.
00:10:57We've got a problem, then, haven't we?
00:11:00Sergeant?
00:11:01Missing half an hour.
00:11:04Look at me when I'm talking to you.
00:11:05Yeah?
00:11:06Forty minutes between him leaving the guard room and the time you say you found him.
00:11:11What's that got to do with us?
00:11:14Good question, son.
00:11:16You tell me.
00:11:17So?
00:11:29They gave me a ride going over.
00:11:31Especially the monkey.
00:11:32What about?
00:11:34Where were we? Where was Weir? How come it took us so long to find him?
00:11:38What did you say?
00:11:40I said I didn't know.
00:11:42About Weir?
00:11:43Nothing.
00:11:44I don't know anything.
00:11:47Well, you're all right, then, aren't you?
00:11:53Private Wilson.
00:12:00Did you know Corporal Weir was out looking for you?
00:12:02You're kidding.
00:12:05I'm just a thick civvy, okay?
00:12:07You're gonna have to make allowances.
00:12:11He's checking on his right.
00:12:14Making sure we're not sitting on our arses somewhere having a smoke.
00:12:17Were you?
00:12:18No.
00:12:19Because if you were to say so, no one's gonna hang you for that.
00:12:22Nobody's gonna hang me for anything.
00:12:26When Corporal Hornell got to the murder scene, he said Private Bell was in a bit of a state.
00:12:31He's just a lad.
00:12:32Whereas you, on the other hand, were calm and collected.
00:12:37That's a strange reaction, isn't it, to what you had just seen?
00:12:39I've seen dead men before.
00:12:41But this was a soldier.
00:12:42Comrade!
00:12:43I've seen them as well.
00:12:49You obviously knew Corporal Weir quite well.
00:12:52Oh, long nights on exercise or operations.
00:12:54Sometimes there's nothing else to do but chat.
00:12:56Good morning, Donaldson.
00:13:00You all right?
00:13:01Yes, sir.
00:13:04We'll see if his documents can shed any light.
00:13:10Cor Hornell.
00:13:11Cor, where's Doc's turn up, yeah?
00:13:12Yes, sir.
00:13:18Whose name is his next of kin?
00:13:21It's his sister, Diane Weir.
00:13:24This was updated last year, so that's probably the right address.
00:13:28No mention of his wife.
00:13:30You don't remember Court Weir's wife, do you?
00:13:32Before my time, sir.
00:13:33Is there any way we could track her down?
00:13:36I'm sure someone must remember her.
00:13:37She presumably came from Glasgow.
00:13:39Or Germany, or Northern Ireland, or Cyprus, or Gibraltar.
00:13:44You pick him up everywhere we go.
00:13:49He was out there.
00:13:50You were out there.
00:13:52How come you didn't see him?
00:13:54I don't know.
00:13:55Well, maybe you did.
00:13:56Are you saying I killed him?
00:13:58No one's accusing you of anything.
00:14:00Did you?
00:14:02I just want to establish the facts.
00:14:05I want an officer here.
00:14:06Never mind about that.
00:14:09I want an officer here, and I'm not saying I want.
00:14:11All right!
00:14:17This interview is terminated.
00:14:19You can go.
00:14:20We'll let you know if we need to talk to you again.
00:14:21And just what was that, exactly?
00:14:33He knows something.
00:14:35And that's what all the subtle coaxing was about.
00:14:37I know, squaddies.
00:14:38Never tell the truth if a lie will do, especially to people like us.
00:14:42People like us?
00:14:43Well, I'm a police officer investigating the murder.
00:14:46I don't know what you are!
00:14:48We obviously work in different ways.
00:14:49And he's your suspect, is he?
00:14:51Wilson and the other lad.
00:14:53You and I both know the last person to see the victim is usually the murderer.
00:14:57I think you'll find that's always the murderer.
00:15:03I think maybe we'd better work separately.
00:15:05That's fine by me.
00:15:06Naturally, I'll pass on anything I find out.
00:15:09I respect no less.
00:15:11I assume you'll do the same.
00:15:14After all, we are on the same side, aren't we?
00:15:19What do you want?
00:15:23Well, it's not what I want.
00:15:25It's not what that S.I.B. bastard wants.
00:15:31One of us for killing Darkie Weir.
00:15:33What did he ask you?
00:15:35Where I was.
00:15:36You've got nothing to worry about.
00:15:37I'm not worried.
00:15:38I know where I was.
00:15:39And I know where Darkie was.
00:15:40Don't worry, I never said anything.
00:15:41But they'll get to you soon enough.
00:15:42I'm not worried.
00:15:43I know where I was.
00:15:44And I know where Darkie was.
00:15:45Don't worry, I never said anything.
00:15:49But they'll get to you soon enough, and then they'll want to know where you were, Private Donaldson.
00:16:09Yes, sir.
00:16:35Come on, you're in there, you're still in there.
00:16:52Let's hope we're your sister can shed some light of things.
00:17:04When you see DCI, Jordan, we'll tell him before.
00:17:07Sure. Are you coming back?
00:17:10I'll have to collect him.
00:17:12Good. I mean, of course. I'll, uh, see you then.
00:17:16Sir! We've got a problem, sir. Private Donaldson.
00:17:20What about him?
00:17:21He's gone.
00:17:22Gone where?
00:17:23Abel, sir. Just taken his Land Rover and legged it.
00:17:26Well, quickly, take your cat away!
00:17:34Stand by your boots!
00:17:52Stand easy.
00:17:53Is this Donaldson's locker?
00:17:55Yes, sir.
00:18:06They sometimes like to keep those as, uh, trophies, I suppose.
00:18:10I didn't think they were a regulation issue.
00:18:14So, washing and shaving kit's gone.
00:18:17And they've taken some civvies too, no doubt.
00:18:20Let's have a look at these.
00:18:23Bone.
00:18:25Bone.
00:18:27Oh, here we are.
00:18:29Martial arts.
00:18:31Intellect, was he?
00:18:33I don't know.
00:18:34Bullshit!
00:18:35You practically live on top of each other in here. You must know.
00:18:45Did he have one of these?
00:18:48I don't know.
00:18:49I mean...
00:18:50Yes, he had a knife.
00:18:52Oh, he did, did he?
00:18:54Your mate must have wanted to have been a murder suspect when he was a kid.
00:19:03What we live in here is nothing.
00:19:05You may believe that he was proud of his mother.
00:19:06within the building, but he named him.
00:19:07They'd come out to hisvous.
00:19:08He呢?
00:19:09You've heard that way even you didn't know 하고,
00:19:10I'm not really the mother and responsible.
00:19:11They're sure he may have mosque.
00:19:12He quoi 이것?
00:19:13He's he?
00:19:14He's gathering up to bed today.
00:19:15Oh, oh.
00:19:16Well, it was strong.
00:19:18Well, perimeter today is so voilà!
00:19:19It was nice to speed.
00:19:20Mr. Oroc!
00:19:21Cопрос.
00:19:22He needed tooki to fit yourself.
00:19:23T's very stable.
00:19:24You said, you please?
00:19:25Can you tell.
00:19:26He became our magic.
00:19:57I came in at 33 to 1.
00:20:00I know.
00:20:01Someone could have made a real killing.
00:20:04Someone has.
00:20:18Thanks for nothing.
00:20:21I did my best for you.
00:20:22And better for yourself.
00:20:23No, as it happens, I haven't got time for this.
00:20:25This problem isn't going to just disappear.
00:20:28It's in all our interest to sort it out.
00:20:29It's none of my concern.
00:20:31How about doing what I pay you for?
00:20:37Do you trust it?
00:20:39I don't trust anyone.
00:20:41Look, this may not be your problem now, but it will be.
00:20:43You're involved whether you like it or no.
00:20:45I told you I'll help out when I can.
00:20:46But I've got problems on my own.
00:20:54Cheers, Jakey.
00:20:56He's not our mystery punter, is he?
00:20:59No.
00:21:00Don't know who he is.
00:21:02See you, Mr. Ross.
00:21:03Aye, right.
00:21:06Gypsy, Rover.
00:21:07You still sulking?
00:21:08I suppose he gave you that.
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:10You wouldn't have backed it.
00:21:12I might have.
00:21:13Not unless your other granny was called Rover.
00:21:19Looks like your horse has lived up to its name.
00:21:22Gone Roving.
00:21:24There's something not right here.
00:21:29Excuse me.
00:21:30Where's the winner?
00:21:31The vet's just having me look at him just now.
00:21:33I'm sorry, don't you?
00:21:33All right.
00:21:35Apparently he went lame just as they were bringing him into the winner's enclosure.
00:21:38He's way been looked at by the vet.
00:21:39Heck well.
00:21:40Sir, we're meant to be looking for funny money, not inquiring into the health of a horse.
00:21:45A horse doesn't usually win a race, then go lame just like that.
00:21:48Come on, Stuart.
00:22:04Looking for Gypsy, Rover.
00:22:06Memos of the public.
00:22:07Police.
00:22:08Where's the horse?
00:22:09I'm afraid you're too late.
00:22:11The leg was broken.
00:22:12The horse vet destroyed him a few minutes ago.
00:22:15It was just taking the body away.
00:22:17Where's the vet?
00:22:18That was him just driving off.
00:22:21See if you can stop him leaving the course.
00:22:23And you are?
00:22:24Archie Haver, Gypsy Rover's trainer.
00:22:26It was an unfortunate accident.
00:22:28Surely not a policeman, mister?
00:22:30Detective Inspector Ross, Mary Hill.
00:22:31When a horse with no form wins a race at long odds, then winds up dead a few moments later, there are bound to be questions.
00:22:37Such as?
00:22:38Did you bet on the horse, Mr Hayward?
00:22:40Really, Inspector?
00:22:41I don't think that that's the...
00:22:42Well, somebody put a very large bet on Gypsy Rover, was it you?
00:22:45I make my money training horses, not betting on them.
00:22:48Now, unless you have anything serious to ask, then go in.
00:22:52And I have to tell you, Inspector, that I don't very much like your attitude.
00:22:57The vet's gone, but I got his number.
00:23:00Name's Palmer.
00:23:01He looks happy.
00:23:03Gypsy Rover's trainer.
00:23:06I just put the cap on his perfect day.
00:23:14Where was Private Donelson at the time of the murder?
00:23:17Off the base.
00:23:18Nobody knows where.
00:23:20Nobody up there seems to know anything but we're concerned.
00:23:23I didn't find it a problem.
00:23:25You weren't working with the rain show.
00:23:27Five seconds with him and they all clammed up.
00:23:30Trouble is, he was right.
00:23:33About Wilson and Bell?
00:23:34I think so.
00:23:35They know something.
00:23:38Don't forget, Renshaw needs it to be a soldier.
00:23:41He's out to make his name on this one.
00:23:43You wouldn't mind beating us to the punch, either.
00:23:45As an insider, he's got a head start.
00:23:48I'm not so sure.
00:23:49The soldiers resent us, but they despise him.
00:23:53That the official line from Major Graham, is it?
00:23:57Just what I heard.
00:23:59You want to watch him.
00:24:01Don't worry.
00:24:02I have been.
00:24:03I have been.
00:24:03Hello.
00:24:29Hello?
00:24:33Diane Weir?
00:24:35Look, I've nothing to say or why.
00:24:37I'm DCI Jarden, Maryhill Police Station.
00:24:40Oh.
00:24:42You'd better come in, then.
00:24:47I thought you were the press. They'd been sniffing around all morning.
00:24:51Your brother named you as his next of kin.
00:24:54I suppose I was all that was left. We weren't that close.
00:24:59Do you know if he had any enemies?
00:25:02I thought this was terrorists.
00:25:04We don't know.
00:25:06It may be someone with a personal grudge.
00:25:09I've never known much about his personal life.
00:25:12He was married at one time. Did you know his wife?
00:25:15Eileen. She's long gone.
00:25:18We were hoping maybe you could help us trace her.
00:25:21She came from Glasgow originally.
00:25:23God knows where she is now, or what she's calling herself.
00:25:27We don't even have her maiden name.
00:25:30I was trying to think of it just now.
00:25:33It's completely gone.
00:25:36It's been a bit of a shock.
00:25:40Well, if you do remember.
00:25:43In fact, if there's anything you think you can help us with,
00:25:45why don't you give me a call?
00:25:46Cheers.
00:25:48He was just an ordinary guy.
00:25:51Just a squaddy, for God's sake.
00:25:53Who'd want him dead?
00:26:00I did you two eggs.
00:26:02You never heard of health eating?
00:26:04You need building up.
00:26:05There you are.
00:26:06Get yourself outside that.
00:26:14You sleep all right?
00:26:15I'll be tiptoeing around.
00:26:18The noise I'm used to.
00:26:19This place is a bit like the grave.
00:26:21But, er, it's not a complaint.
00:26:25Any idea yet where you're going?
00:26:27Catherick, give us a chance, man, eh?
00:26:30You can stay here as long as you like.
00:26:33I would be glad of the company.
00:26:35I thought we might go out for a wee drink tonight.
00:26:38I don't know.
00:26:40You used to be fond of a drop.
00:26:42I think I'm out of practice.
00:26:44Well, go out and see the sights.
00:26:47The sights?
00:26:49I've seen the sights.
00:26:51I've seen the sights.
00:26:52You can't stay locked up in here forever.
00:27:01There you are.
00:27:02Ta.
00:27:10Good day, then.
00:27:13I've had worse.
00:27:14I'm a gypsy rover.
00:27:16What about gypsy rover?
00:27:2333 you on?
00:27:26Lucky you laid that one off.
00:27:30How much did that guy have on it?
00:27:32As much as I enjoy a little chat,
00:27:33so I've got a lot to do here.
00:27:37Right, then.
00:27:38I'll see you later.
00:27:39Aye.
00:27:46Joe.
00:27:47Joe Brodie.
00:27:48I thought it was you.
00:27:49Don't pretend you don't know me.
00:27:50J.K. Miller.
00:27:51I work for your father.
00:27:52No.
00:27:53No.
00:27:54No.
00:27:55No.
00:27:56No.
00:27:57No.
00:27:58No.
00:27:59No.
00:28:00No.
00:28:01No.
00:28:02No.
00:28:03No.
00:28:04No.
00:28:05No.
00:28:06No.
00:28:07No.
00:28:08No.
00:28:09No.
00:28:10No.
00:28:11No.
00:28:12No.
00:28:13No.
00:28:14No.
00:28:15No.
00:28:15I work for your father.
00:28:18So, er,
00:28:20how was it then?
00:28:21Wait, brilliant.
00:28:23Boy, don't you back.
00:28:25As far as you're concerned, Jakey,
00:28:31I'm a dead man.
00:28:33Just forget you ever saw me, alright?
00:28:34I should have thought you'd had enough of that.
00:28:52I didn't have anything to the track.
00:28:57If you say so.
00:29:02I've been thinking.
00:29:05Perhaps you should go and stay at your mother's for a few days.
00:29:12My mother's?
00:29:14I was there at Christmas and that was enough.
00:29:16Just do it, will you?
00:29:18Look, what is this?
00:29:20You've been like a cat on hot bricks for days now.
00:29:23Mary, in all the time we've been married,
00:29:26have I ever asked anything of you?
00:29:28Have I?
00:29:30We'll do this.
00:29:35You've had the police round?
00:29:37Of course.
00:29:38What did you want?
00:29:39What did you tell them?
00:29:40The absolute minimum.
00:29:43They'll find out.
00:29:45They'll be back.
00:29:47I'll tell them I was in shock.
00:29:49I am in shock.
00:29:51They're not the only one.
00:29:55I thought you were going to sort this out.
00:29:57Do a deal.
00:29:58What, wiss?
00:29:59Are you going to put the money up?
00:30:01I can't.
00:30:02None of us can.
00:30:04So?
00:30:05Why us?
00:30:06We're risking everything here.
00:30:08What are you risking?
00:30:09It's my brother lying in a slab.
00:30:12In case you'd forgotten.
00:30:14Ring me from your mother's.
00:30:16Take good care of yourself.
00:30:46You've been on my team less than 24 hours,
00:31:01and I'm getting calls about you from the deputy chief constable.
00:31:18Don't tell me.
00:31:19The race course complained.
00:31:21I sent you out there to find some counterfeiters.
00:31:24I didn't show, sir.
00:31:25So you decided to investigate the horse racing industry instead?
00:31:28This happened right under our noses.
00:31:30The horse was destroyed.
00:31:32Not just any horse.
00:31:34A rank outsider that came in at 33 to 1.
00:31:36So?
00:31:37So that's convenient if anyone was up to something.
00:31:40Such as?
00:31:42I don't know.
00:31:44Maybe the horse was given something.
00:31:45Maybe it was a ringer.
00:31:46What, a substitute?
00:31:47It wouldn't be the first time.
00:31:49According to the race course manager,
00:31:51the vet said the horse had a broken leg.
00:31:53Nothing could be done.
00:31:54Did the authorities have any suspicions?
00:31:56No, sir.
00:31:57So you know better than the experts, hmm?
00:32:00I wouldn't have myself if I hadn't heard before the race
00:32:02that someone fancied this horse big time.
00:32:04Well, who told you that?
00:32:06One of my informants.
00:32:07It works for one of the bookies.
00:32:09Look, I want to find out who this punter was,
00:32:11and I want to talk to the vet who destroyed the horse.
00:32:14There's no evidence that a crime's even been committed.
00:32:18All right.
00:32:20But you report to me.
00:32:21You do not go hearing off on your own.
00:32:23That's not how we do things at Maryhill.
00:32:26Message received.
00:32:28Apparently, Ross took a holiday in Spain with some used car dealer
00:32:32who had very dodgy connections.
00:32:34As a result of the information he got when he was over there,
00:32:36they were able to burst a big stolen car ring back here.
00:32:39Four men went down for it.
00:32:41Good result.
00:32:42Except the four men convicted were all rivals of the guy Ross went on holiday with.
00:32:46Oh.
00:32:47So what happened?
00:32:48A big inquiry.
00:32:49He was on garden leave for the best part of a year.
00:32:51Word as it was touch and go whether he'd be busted back to Sergeant.
00:32:55So they dumped him on us instead.
00:32:58So what's he like?
00:32:59See for yourself.
00:33:04You must be DS Reid.
00:33:05That's right. Jackie.
00:33:07Robbie Ross.
00:33:08Welcome to Maryhill.
00:33:09How are you finding it?
00:33:11Erm, yeah.
00:33:12I like what you see so far.
00:33:13Sir.
00:33:14We must get together some time.
00:33:16Erm.
00:33:17All of us.
00:33:18For a drink.
00:33:19Get to know each other.
00:33:20That'd be nice.
00:33:21Jackie Miller.
00:33:22Er, excuse me.
00:33:23I'll see you around.
00:33:26Do you know the idea?
00:33:27Only about reputation.
00:33:29Sounds like I'd be good fun to work with.
00:33:31I don't care, Jackie.
00:33:32I need that punter's name.
00:33:34Do I ask you how to do my job?
00:33:36Right.
00:33:37I'll meet you later on.
00:33:39Yes.
00:33:40Tonight.
00:33:41Usual place.
00:33:42Half seven.
00:33:43Right?
00:33:46You pick a horse.
00:33:48Unremarkable.
00:33:49No real thought.
00:33:50That's Gypsy Rover.
00:33:51And you replace him with a much better horse.
00:33:53You could only do it the once.
00:33:54You'd never get the same odds again.
00:33:56Even as a one-off, you could make a good killing.
00:33:58If the bookies had any doubts, they surely wouldn't pay out.
00:34:01To be clever about this, Stuart.
00:34:03Spread your bets.
00:34:05Do you reckon that's what happened?
00:34:07I hope Jackie Miller's gonna tell me that.
00:34:15This is hopeless.
00:34:16This is not going to heed, eh?
00:34:18One more place.
00:34:19Then we'll call it a day.
00:34:20You said that an hour ago.
00:34:21I was hoping we might meet Jackie Miller.
00:34:24Jackie?
00:34:25Have you seen him for years?
00:34:27No, he's around.
00:34:32According to young Stuart, he was lucky not to have been thrown out.
00:34:36Or demoted.
00:34:37So they did the next best thing.
00:34:40Which is?
00:34:42To put him under Detective Chief Inspector Jack.
00:34:45I'm probably hoping he'll be so hacked off with Michael's straight-laced ways
00:34:48that he'll just leave of his own accord.
00:34:52So do you think I'd fancy him?
00:34:54Actually, you might.
00:34:56He's not bad looking.
00:34:57He's obviously got a sense of humour.
00:35:00I hope that's me you're talking about.
00:35:05Jackie, aren't you gonna introduce us?
00:35:07Of course, Rose.
00:35:08This is Major Graham from the barracks.
00:35:10Pleased to meet you, Major.
00:35:11Andrew, please.
00:35:14I was just passing.
00:35:15I saw you through the window.
00:35:16Thought I'd pop in and say hello.
00:35:18If you're busy.
00:35:19Er, no, no.
00:35:20I was just leaving.
00:35:24Any more like him at the barracks.
00:35:27I'll call you later.
00:35:32Nice to meet you.
00:35:34And you.
00:35:38You took your time?
00:35:43I'm sorry.
00:35:44It's been a hell of a day.
00:35:45I think I fooled her.
00:35:48I doubt it.
00:35:50She seems nice.
00:35:52She's also terrible gossip.
00:36:00Evening, sir.
00:36:01Evening, Costello.
00:36:02Everything all right?
00:36:03All quiet, sir.
00:36:04Good.
00:36:08Colonel Sinclair takes over command of the regiment when he gets back from Bosnia.
00:36:12What about you?
00:36:14Still in with a chance.
00:36:16After him.
00:36:17Is that a big jump in pay?
00:36:19I suppose so. Why do you ask?
00:36:21I just couldn't help but notice the car the Colonel was driving earlier.
00:36:26Ian has a private income.
00:36:29Remembering coffee one morning, he turned to the paymaster and said,
00:36:33John, a slight problem. I haven't been paid for three months.
00:36:36And he hadn't noticed.
00:36:38He just hadn't missed it.
00:36:39Evening, sir.
00:36:44Mum.
00:36:46Evening, Taliesh.
00:36:48I was loved this morning.
00:36:50I'm mum now.
00:36:51It's because you're with me.
00:36:53I was with you this morning.
00:36:54Socially.
00:36:55I loved you.
00:36:56Hello, Jakey.
00:36:57Hello, Jakey.
00:37:26And you eat in here on your own?
00:37:45At the moment, yes.
00:37:48Don't you ever find it about...
00:37:51Stuffy?
00:37:54Gloomy.
00:37:57I don't see it like that.
00:38:00I mean, all this, the...
00:38:02the... the...
00:38:03traditions and the...
00:38:05the colours, the silver,
00:38:06it's all part of what makes up a regiment.
00:38:09And... and...
00:38:11it's... it's bigger than us.
00:38:12It's more important than us.
00:38:14Do you see what I mean?
00:38:16Yeah, I think I understand.
00:38:18Hmm.
00:38:20You know tomorrow's Alma day?
00:38:22Another battle?
00:38:24One of our better ones.
00:38:26We're having a... a dinner.
00:38:28Small numbers, very informal.
00:38:30I'd be...
00:38:32very glad if you'd come as my guest.
00:38:36I normally spend Alma day with my family.
00:38:38I'm sorry?
00:38:40Oh.
00:38:42I'm not sure it's my kind of thing.
00:38:43Well, there's only one way to find out.
00:38:48You're not worried I might let you down?
00:38:52Use the wrong knife and fork?
00:38:54I'll risk it.
00:38:56Well, okay.
00:38:58Good.
00:39:00Hmm.
00:39:02Hmm.
00:39:06Is Jacob Mellor been in tonight?
00:39:08Has Jackie Mellor been in tonight?
00:39:12No, no.
00:39:38Let's go call for an ambulance.
00:40:06Go on!
00:40:08Oh, God, Jackie.
00:40:36Oh, God.
00:40:38Oh, God.
00:40:40Oh, God.
00:40:42We thought we'd better wait till you got here.
00:40:44Well, I hope it's worth it.
00:40:46Are you asked to be notified of any incident involving automatic weapons?
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:50Oh, God.
00:40:51Oh, God.
00:40:52We've got a machine gun a couple of hours ago.
00:40:54The cows haven't been milked.
00:40:56Oh, God.
00:40:57So, who does the farm belong to?
00:40:59John McLennan.
00:41:00He's got a wife, Mary.
00:41:01There's no sign of either of them.
00:41:03The dog was chained up, and when I let him go, he came straight to the slurry pit.
00:41:06I found a few of these scattered around the yard.
00:41:09I'm no expert, but I'd say they were from a rifle.
00:41:12Probably army issue.
00:41:14There's definitely something down there.
00:41:17Shouldn't have to wait long.
00:41:19Okay, then.
00:41:20Let's take a look.
00:41:40Murdered with a semi-automatic rifle and nobody hears a thing?
00:41:44Give me the city life.
00:41:46Could he have been alive when he would end there?
00:41:48Oh, four bullet wounds, two to the body, two to the head.
00:41:52Unlikely, I'd say.
00:41:54One of the local boys is an ex-soldier.
00:41:57He reckons these are army issue.
00:42:00And you think they could have come from Corporal Weir's weapon?
00:42:03It's a strong possibility.
00:42:05You done here, Stephen?
00:42:07No, I'm gonna hang around in case the wife pops up.
00:42:10If some guy hadn't come down here a splash his boots, I'd never have found him.
00:42:21Was he dead when you got to him?
00:42:23Yeah.
00:42:24Blood everywhere.
00:42:26Was he a friend of yours?
00:42:29Jakey Miller.
00:42:30Didn't have any friends.
00:42:33But it wasn't just you he worked for.
00:42:35Oh, no.
00:42:36Jakey wasn't prejudiced.
00:42:38Drug squad, social services, CSA.
00:42:41He'd rat on anyone.
00:42:42So anyone could have killed him?
00:42:45I think it was what he was doing for me that got him killed.
00:42:48You don't blame yourself, surely?
00:42:50Too right I don't, Stuart.
00:42:52Just wish I'd had ten minutes with him first.
00:42:55What makes you think MacLennan was killed with Weir's weapon?
00:42:58It's not the kind of gun that's used by ordinary now.
00:43:02It's still a hell of a coincidence.
00:43:04I know, but it looks that way.
00:43:07I haven't established any other links between them.
00:43:10Well, I've looked round the house.
00:43:11There's nothing obvious.
00:43:13There is a wife somewhere.
00:43:17Could she be in...
00:43:18In the slurry pit?
00:43:19No.
00:43:20We're checking out the rest of the farm.
00:43:22Of course, she could be our killer.
00:43:24Wives don't usually kill their husbands with a rifle.
00:43:27I dream about it, maybe, but...
00:43:30The anti-terrorist brand seems to think
00:43:32they can rule out terrorist involvement.
00:43:34I suppose MacLennan could have been in the army.
00:43:37I thought I'd let you follow that one up
00:43:39with your close military connections.
00:43:44Have you been spying on me?
00:43:47Peggy Bud?
00:43:48Well, you're obviously referring to my evening with Major Graham.
00:43:51Jackie.
00:43:52The man's involved in a murder inquiry.
00:43:54He's hardly a suspect.
00:43:56Because he's an officer.
00:43:57Because he's an alibi.
00:44:00Do you want me to tell you exactly what we were doing last night?
00:44:02Or will I leave out the personal bits?
00:44:05We'll start with a bookie Scott, then a vet.
00:44:07Erm...
00:44:08What was his name?
00:44:09Palmer.
00:44:10Morning, Jackie.
00:44:11Off to the barracks.
00:44:12Yes.
00:44:13I am.
00:44:14And I'll, er...
00:44:15I'll be dining here this evening in the company of Major Graham.
00:44:17As and when more details emerge, I'll post them on the notice board.
00:44:18And, of course, there will be a full report on your desk in the morning.
00:44:23Major Graham, eh?
00:44:24So...
00:44:25Jackie's going out with a Rupert.
00:44:26A what?
00:44:27A Rupert.
00:44:28That's what they call them.
00:44:29Ruperts.
00:44:30He'll not like that.
00:44:31Why not?
00:44:32Well, he'll be thinking if she can fancy a buttoned-up boy scout with a ramrod up his arse,
00:44:35then why not me?
00:44:36I don't think he thinks of her in that way.
00:44:37Oh, come on, Stuart.
00:44:38Don't give me that.
00:44:39And don't tell me you haven't either.
00:44:40Sir.
00:44:41Perhaps there's something that you should know.
00:44:42Yeah, Ross.
00:44:43Oh, come on.
00:44:44Come on.
00:44:45Come on.
00:44:46Come on.
00:44:47Come on.
00:44:48Come on.
00:44:49Come on.
00:44:50Come on.
00:44:51Come on.
00:44:52Come on.
00:44:53Come on.
00:44:54Come on.
00:44:55Come on.
00:44:56Come on.
00:44:57Come on.
00:44:58Come on.
00:44:59Come on.
00:45:00Come on.
00:45:01Come on.
00:45:02Come on.
00:45:13This stabbing last night.
00:45:16I believe you knew the victim.
00:45:18J.K. Miller.
00:45:19He's one of my informants.
00:45:20That's how I came to be on the spot.
00:45:22You were meeting him?
00:45:23That's right.
00:45:24What was he in connection with?
00:45:27Not at your horses.
00:45:30J.K. was the one I met at the races yesterday.
00:45:32Do you remember I told you someone was backing Jibs who were over heavily?
00:45:35J.K. was looking into it for me.
00:45:37And you think his death might have something to do with it?
00:45:40That's what I'm looking at at the moment.
00:45:41Starting with John Scott, the bookie.
00:45:43The one J.K. worked for.
00:45:45Okay.
00:45:46J.K.
00:45:47But, from what I've heard, any number of people might have wanted Mr. Miller dead.
00:45:52Inspector Jarden?
00:45:53Chief Inspector, rather.
00:45:55Good morning, Colonel.
00:45:57No, nothing yet.
00:46:01Well, no, actually.
00:46:06Yeah, that would be fine.
00:46:10Seven o'clock?
00:46:12OK, I'll see you then.
00:46:14Just what I need.
00:46:16Colonel Sinclair from the barracks.
00:46:18He's invited me for dinner this evening.
00:46:20I think he wants to build bridges.
00:46:22We got off to a bad start.
00:46:25Would that be at the officer's mess?
00:46:27Yeah, I'll have to look out at my DJ.
00:46:30Do you know who else is going?
00:46:32Just a few friends.
00:46:33Not really my cup of tea.
00:46:35Oh, I don't know.
00:46:36Could be quite entertaining.
00:46:43J.K. who worked for me as a runner on and off
00:46:45for about three years.
00:46:46When did you last see him?
00:46:48He was with me yesterday at the races,
00:46:50then I paid him off in here at five o'clock.
00:46:52And you didn't see him in the evening at all?
00:46:55We weren't boozing buddies.
00:46:56And you can't think of anyone
00:46:58who'd a grudge against him?
00:46:59He came here, he did his job,
00:47:01he went away.
00:47:01Apart from that, I know nothing about him.
00:47:03What about a horse called Gypsy Roller?
00:47:06Came in at 33 to 1 yesterday.
00:47:09Would have cost me a fortune
00:47:10if I hadn't laid it off.
00:47:12How's that?
00:47:13Someone had two grand on it.
00:47:16That's a lot of money on an outsider.
00:47:18Did you not think that was strange?
00:47:20There are plenty of punters around here
00:47:21with more money than sense.
00:47:23It happens.
00:47:23This one paid off.
00:47:27That happens too.
00:47:30So did you know this punter?
00:47:32I was at the track,
00:47:33but he wasn't one of our regulars.
00:47:35But someone here will remember him.
00:47:37I guess they will.
00:47:38Roger Freeman, he's my manager.
00:47:40He'll remember him.
00:47:42Is this something to do with Jakey?
00:47:46Is Freeman here?
00:47:47He doesn't start till 11.
00:47:49I could call him in now.
00:47:49No, I don't bother.
00:47:51We'll come back.
00:47:53If you do think of anything,
00:47:55I'll let you know.
00:47:56Thanks.
00:47:57See ourselves out.
00:47:58Good morning.
00:48:19What's the occasion?
00:48:25Just been to see Diane Weir.
00:48:27A duty visit for her being next of kin.
00:48:29Does the name MacLennan mean anything to you?
00:48:32Why?
00:48:34He was killed last night.
00:48:35Possibly with Corporal Weir's gun.
00:48:38Rifle.
00:48:39Whatever.
00:48:41No, it means nothing to me.
00:48:43We wondered if he might have been in the regiment at some point.
00:48:45If he has been, I've never heard of him.
00:48:47I'll check him out.
00:48:48So, that man's bagged a farmer now.
00:48:52Farmer?
00:48:53MacLennan.
00:48:54He found him in a slurry pit.
00:48:55If you ask me, he was lucky.
00:48:57How'd you work that out?
00:48:58Well, at least he was dead before he went in.
00:49:06Are they all like him?
00:49:08No.
00:49:09Fortunately, he's a one-off.
00:49:12Doing his job, you don't expect to be popular,
00:49:14but he's abusing the privilege.
00:49:17What's going on over there?
00:49:17The family's moving in.
00:49:21When the regiment gets back from Bosnia in three weeks' time,
00:49:23their loved ones will be waiting for them.
00:49:30You coming?
00:49:31I remember him right enough.
00:49:40There's no every day I pay you at 60-odd grand.
00:49:43And you'd never seen him before?
00:49:45Definitely not one of our regulars.
00:49:47And none of the other staff here recognised him?
00:49:50No.
00:49:51Glass region?
00:49:53By his accent.
00:49:55What'd he look like?
00:49:56I'd say early 50s, short, bit of a pot on him.
00:50:00Dark brown hair, greasy, thin and a bit on top.
00:50:03And as I say, local accent.
00:50:05Smartly dressed?
00:50:06No.
00:50:07Baggy-ass jeans, trainers, blue bum-freezer jacket.
00:50:13What'd he say?
00:50:14Oh, he was talking broken biscuits.
00:50:16Think he'd been celebrating already.
00:50:18Anything else about him?
00:50:19No, not really.
00:50:20Right, well, thanks for your help.
00:50:26If you see him again, will you let us go?
00:50:29Aye, sure.
00:50:30Is Mr Scott in?
00:50:31There was something else I wanted to ask him.
00:50:33I haven't seen him.
00:50:34I think he's gone out.
00:50:36Aye.
00:50:37We'll ring later.
00:50:49One.
00:50:50Two.
00:50:53Three.
00:50:54Three what?
00:50:55Men that fit that description, Stuart.
00:50:58He's just described every sad bastard in a 20-mile radius.
00:51:02Shall we start checking the pubs?
00:51:03Ah, forget it.
00:51:04Circulate that for what it's worth,
00:51:06and we'll go see a vet about a horse.
00:51:14OK, they've gone.
00:51:20So what did you tell them?
00:51:22What, we agreed.
00:51:24I thought yesterday was a fluke,
00:51:26but they've got their suspicions.
00:51:28I haven't heard any rumours.
00:51:29Even so,
00:51:30if someone's making dirty money,
00:51:33I want to know who.
00:51:38So come on.
00:51:40What did this punter really look like?
00:51:42Right.
00:51:55I've got that.
00:51:56Thanks.
00:51:57Oh, come on, Stuart.
00:52:04Surely even you can track down a vet.
00:52:06I know where he is right enough,
00:52:08but we can't talk to him.
00:52:10This is important.
00:52:11I don't care what he's doing.
00:52:12He's not doing anything.
00:52:13What?
00:52:13He's dead.
00:52:15Don't tell me they shot him, too.
00:52:17A car accident.
00:52:19Driving home last night.
00:52:35So what's your interest in this, sir,
00:52:37if you don't mind my asking?
00:52:38I see somebody you wanted to work with.
00:52:40Well, you've missed your chance.
00:52:42What happened?
00:52:43It was about half past eleven last night.
00:52:46A lad and his girlfriend
00:52:46were coming round that corner.
00:52:48Met this guy in the middle of the road.
00:52:50Headlights on main beam.
00:52:51Going on to clappers.
00:52:52Or so the lad says.
00:52:54I know him.
00:52:54He's okay.
00:52:56What, they both swear?
00:52:57And they ended up over the road there.
00:52:59He ended up there.
00:53:00Did you not think there was anything odd?
00:53:02No.
00:53:03It all made sense as it was described.
00:53:05Fabrythalised the lad.
00:53:06He was clear.
00:53:07I'm not so sure about him, though.
00:53:08By all accounts, Mr Palmer
00:53:10had been going at it in a pub down the road.
00:53:11Sounds like he was celebrating.
00:53:14Ah, looks like he had reason.
00:53:29Hi.
00:53:31I got your usual.
00:53:32So, what have you told the police?
00:53:42As little as possible.
00:53:44They're mostly interested in Darcy's ex-wife, Eileen.
00:53:47They're going to find her.
00:53:49I don't know.
00:53:50And when they do, they'll start making connections.
00:53:52What are you going to do then?
00:53:53I'll worry about that then.
00:53:55Just pray that by then we've got this thing sorted out.
00:53:58And what are you going to do to do?
00:53:59I've got the lads on to it.
00:54:01Elliot and Massey.
00:54:02If they can't find him, no one can.
00:54:04And when they do...
00:54:08God save Diane.
00:54:12It's the only way any of us live in peace again.
00:54:15And that includes you.
00:54:16That's what my clenet said.
00:54:18You saw him?
00:54:19Yesterday, at the races.
00:54:21He said he needed money.
00:54:22Suppose you thought that could save him.
00:54:25This is going beyond money.
00:54:27Way beyond.
00:54:29I've been looking for you.
00:54:51Have you now?
00:54:52You got something to tell me?
00:54:54Private Donaldson's vehicle is turned up in the city.
00:54:56I've just abandoned it.
00:54:59So where have you been?
00:55:01I've been having coffee at the wives' club.
00:55:03Careful.
00:55:04That is the most powerful organisation in the army.
00:55:07And the most knowledgeable.
00:55:09Told me a few things about you.
00:55:12Did they?
00:55:14More importantly,
00:55:16I think I've accounted for Corporal Weir's missing half hour.
00:55:19He was in bed.
00:55:22With a Mrs. Donaldson.
00:55:25While her husband's away in Bosnia.
00:55:27Exactly.
00:55:28But his wee brother, Private Donaldson, was still on camp.
00:55:32So perhaps he took it upon himself to uphold a family honour.
00:55:35Often wondered about Mrs. Donaldson.
00:55:38Wondered what?
00:55:39Well, you know, she's, she's an attractive woman.
00:55:43Bit of a goer, I'd say.
00:55:44I think you've said enough.
00:55:48By the way,
00:55:49what did the wives' club have to tell you about me?
00:55:52That's privileged information.
00:55:54Sorry, pal.
00:56:06Carry up.
00:56:07I'm closed today.
00:56:09Ready?
00:56:10This is killing my business.
00:56:12Won't be long now.
00:56:13Not a usey.
00:56:14How's your mouth?
00:56:15I'll live.
00:56:17I wouldn't have thought Jakey had it in him.
00:56:18I've been thinking
00:56:44maybe I should move out for a bit.
00:56:48You sick of me already?
00:56:50Nah, it's...
00:56:51I still need a bit of space.
00:56:54Some fresh air.
00:56:57What have I been saying?
00:56:59But not here, though.
00:57:01You mean
00:57:02some weird green
00:57:04with maybe a river running through it?
00:57:06You still got that?
00:57:14I was going to sell it,
00:57:15but
00:57:15when it came to it,
00:57:17I couldn't.
00:57:17It'd be like admitting
00:57:19that she was gone.
00:57:26I like it in the summer,
00:57:27but it's free now.
00:57:29Why don't we both go?
00:57:31I've never been back.
00:57:33I never know.
00:57:36But you wouldn't mind if I...
00:57:37No.
00:57:39You'd be doing me a favour.
00:57:39No here.
00:57:53God's name.
00:57:54It makes sense.
00:57:55It makes sense.
00:57:56It makes sense.
00:57:56Yeah.
00:58:18Yeah.
00:58:19you were saying I was saying he's changed that's something to be expected remember what he was
00:58:35like couldn't shut him up he doesn't talk much anymore do you blame him no I don't blame him
00:58:45for anything he'll be sorry to have missed you it's a pity did he say when he'll be back
00:58:54could be days could be weeks so where's he gone I can't tell you he thinks the boyos might be after
00:59:06him he's got nothing to worry about I'm not so sure he said tell no one he didn't mean
00:59:15us no no it's fair enough it's a shame though how's that I'm only here for a couple of days
00:59:22if I don't see him now who knows when it will be we're his mates if he can't trust us who can he
00:59:29trust 60 odd thousand quid I mean where does a vet get that kind of money maybe he's our mystery
00:59:38punter or one of them or maybe he's paid for services rendered
00:59:42you're the race course vet on the side you're halfway there eh or maybe
00:59:47go on Stuart well I don't know a crime's been committed at all you sound like Jardine
00:59:55it'd just be coincidence
00:59:57I don't believe in coincidences even if I did two dead men one dead horse and a bag full
01:00:12of cash is one coincidence too many
01:00:14Mrs. Palmer yes I'm D.I. Ross this is D.C. Fraser you better come in
01:00:43I've already told your sergeant everything I know
01:00:47we're not from traffic Mrs. Palmer
01:00:51sorry
01:00:53I understand your husband was the race course vet for this area
01:01:00yes
01:01:02what's that got to do with his accident
01:01:05Mrs. Palmer there was a bag in your husband's car containing a great deal of cash
01:01:10any idea how he might have got that
01:01:13no
01:01:14just your husband's office
01:01:19do you mind if we had a look around
01:01:23in case you'd forgotten inspector
01:01:26this house is a mourning
01:01:28I have a funeral to arrange
01:01:30yeah I'm sorry about that Mrs. Palmer
01:01:34I know it's not a good time but
01:01:35um don't you worry about us you'll not know we're here
01:01:42what's wrong with you
01:02:00I'm not sure we should be doing this
01:02:02she gave her consent
01:02:04I'm near enough
01:02:05I just feel we could have handled things with a bit more sensitivity
01:02:08with a job like this there are two approaches
01:02:12either you can do it and agonise over it
01:02:14or you can just do it now I prefer the latter
01:02:16so I see
01:02:17if you've got any problems with that student
01:02:21feel free to keep them to yourself
01:02:23yes sir
01:02:25because the last thing I want is you jumping on my shoulder every ten minutes like Jiminy Cricket
01:02:29point taken
01:02:31right

01:02:35if he was bent
01:02:38chances are she's in on it
01:02:41that's why you want to turn this place over
