00:00:00BIRDS CHEERS
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:01:00Oh, my God.
00:01:30Did you know him?
00:01:42Yeah.
00:01:44He's one of ours.
00:01:47Can we see him?
00:01:49Of course.
00:01:49He's a detective.
00:02:10His name's Archie Meads.
00:02:11Archie and me are sitting down there in the living room having a can watching the football.
00:02:34Well, the doorbell goes.
00:02:41Archie answers I'm thinking it's his wife.
00:02:44What, she has to ring?
00:02:46They're separated.
00:02:48Six months.
00:02:49Anyway, I'm thinking I'll keep the head down and leave them to it.
00:02:59I hear a bang.
00:03:03I run out.
00:03:04Archie's lying on his back.
00:03:05Spark out.
00:03:06There's a guy with a handgun, wearing a balaclava, five, ten, maybe six foot.
00:03:12He's heading down the path.
00:03:15I shout out.
00:03:18He turns round.
00:03:21He's crouching down like this, you know, like a pro.
00:03:23I die for cover.
00:03:25I, er, die for cover.
00:03:28So, I'm flat on my arse and he's legged it.
00:03:33Gone.
00:03:37That's it.
00:03:43Then I, er, called the ambulance.
00:03:48And that was at 14.07?
00:03:51Whatever.
00:03:51but you two worked together for a while.
00:03:58Three years.
00:03:59Why would anyone want to target Archie?
00:04:01I don't know.
00:04:04I wasn't even supposed to be here.
00:04:05They were just having a drink.
00:04:08So, Kevin, have you got any ideas about this gunman?
00:04:14Well...
00:04:15What?
00:04:19We bussed this guy last week.
00:04:22Stevie Dixon.
00:04:26He threatened Archie.
00:04:28Threatened him? How?
00:04:30Said he was going to kill him.
00:04:36We bussed open this filing cabinet.
00:04:41There must be 20 grand here.
00:04:43Come on.
00:04:52See you later, Carol.
00:04:54Right, if there's money involved, we better call the Professional Standards Unit.
00:04:57Oh, no, no. Let's not get the rubber heels involved just yet.
00:05:01Okay.
00:05:02So, do you want to ruin the boss's holiday or will I do it?
00:05:05Ach, no. Leave him.
00:05:06He needs a break.
00:05:07We'll deal with it.
00:05:09A cop gets shot and we find 20 grand in the cupboard and you don't think we need to call the boss?
00:05:13Maybe we should, sir.
00:05:14No.
00:05:15We need to speak to Stevie Dixon first.
00:05:17You talk to Archie's wife.
00:05:18We'll meet up at five.
00:05:19Stuart.
00:05:20Classy joint, eh?
00:05:45Microsoft bought nine quid.
00:05:53Is that cheap?
00:05:54That's Bill Gates.
00:05:57Can I help you?
00:05:58Police officers looking for Mr Dixon.
00:06:01Do you bastards never give up?
00:06:02Listen, I'm not interested in your dodgy CDs and your Space Invader games, okay?
00:06:07There were two cops here last week.
00:06:08Correct.
00:06:09And one of them is now dead.
00:06:11What?
00:06:13What's in here?
00:06:15So what do you call this?
00:06:21It's just a hobby.
00:06:22What's in here?
00:06:59Trussix Hotel, Tracey here. How may I help you?
00:07:22Yes, hello. I was just wondering if Mr Burke's around.
00:07:25Mr Burke, no, I'm afraid he's not back yet. Can I take a message?
00:07:29Yeah, could you tell him that Jackie called?
00:07:32He'll be enjoying the fishing. It's a lovely day.
00:07:35No doubt.
00:07:35What's your number?
00:07:36Yeah, if you could just get him to give him a call when he gets back.
00:07:38Yes, okay, you will do.
00:07:40Thanks.
00:07:40Hello?
00:07:56Hello?
00:08:12Hello?
00:08:12Can I help you?
00:08:34Oh, erm, I'm Detective Sergeant Reid. I'm afraid I've got a bit of bad news for you.
00:08:41So you burn all this stuff here?
00:08:57It's imported.
00:08:59Imported from where?
00:09:00Stevie gets it all. I just do the shop.
00:09:02Where is he?
00:09:04Right, Stuart, let's get the guys in, whoever this lot up.
00:09:07Is that the boat?
00:09:08Boat.
00:09:10He's got a boat down in the Clyde. Hires it out for fishing.
00:09:18They're very good.
00:09:20They're crap. Profitable, but crap nevertheless.
00:09:24I should be the one making you tea.
00:09:26If you want me to play the distraught wife, I'm sorry. It's not in my repertoire.
00:09:30You don't seem very surprised by the news.
00:09:37Who was it? A bookie? Or some poor real lassie's husband?
00:09:41Well, we don't know as yet.
00:09:43But you were saying that after you'd been married a year...
00:09:46I think there had been two, maybe three other women by that time.
00:09:50That's apart from the gambling.
00:09:52Was that a problem?
00:09:53He emptied our joint account of £13,000. Would you find that a problem?
00:10:00I think I'd find that a betrayal.
00:10:03To tell you the truth, the money wasn't the worst.
00:10:09It was the fat WPC from Wishaw that was the last straw.
00:10:13I haven't seen him since.
00:10:15And what about you?
00:10:17Me? What about me?
00:10:19Is there anyone else now?
00:10:23No.
00:10:24No one.
00:10:29And how's business?
00:10:30There's no shortage of dog lovers with more money than taste, if that's what you mean.
00:10:36I'm afraid I'll need a statement.
00:10:38And access to your bank accounts.
00:10:40To see if I paid to get him shot.
00:10:42No, that's not what I meant.
00:10:44Put this in your report, Sergeant.
00:10:47I don't know who it was that shot the bastard.
00:10:50But I'd like to shake his hand.
00:10:53Hello, this is Matt Burks' voicemail.
00:10:55Please leave a message.
00:10:56You don't need to go.
00:11:02I don't know who it was.
00:11:04You don't need to go there. Just phone him.
00:11:28Yeah, but I can't get hold of him and his mobile.
00:11:29Just leave it then.
00:11:31A colleague's dead, Stuart.
00:11:32The boss should be told.
00:11:34I'm sure we'll manage.
00:11:36Manage what?
00:11:37Nothing.
00:11:39What do you mean, nothing?
00:11:40Is Robbie there?
00:11:41Aye.
00:11:42Yeah, well, tell him to get a watch in the wife's house ASAP.
00:11:45She's at it.
00:11:46At what?
00:11:49Jackie?
00:11:50Jackie?
00:11:52Where the hell is she?
00:11:54I've lost the signal.
00:12:04Mike, DVDs.
00:12:23It's unbelievable.
00:12:24There's thousands of them.
00:12:26Okay, let's go.
00:12:34Can I help you?
00:12:37Eh, we're looking for Stevie Dixon.
00:12:39Aye, he's not here, mate.
00:12:41Was he about earlier on?
00:12:43I've been here all morning.
00:12:44Haven't seen hiding the hair of him.
00:12:47He was a wee bit upset.
00:12:48I hear he got lifted last week.
00:12:50Aye, we heard that too.
00:12:51What sort of goods get handled here?
00:12:53Coastal stuff, mostly.
00:12:55Small bit.
00:12:56Well, if you see Mr Dixon,
00:12:58ask him to call D.I. Ross on this number.
00:13:00Aye, sure.
00:13:02So what's going on?
00:13:03Just get him to call.
00:13:04Ah, here we are.
00:13:16He's definitely on the lock.
00:13:17He's hired a boat.
00:13:19Will you be having dinner with Mr Burke later?
00:13:21No.
00:13:22I have to head back to town.
00:13:24Where do they usually fish?
00:13:25You'll probably find him on the East Bay.
00:13:27That's a favourite.
00:13:28That's a favourite.
00:13:34That's a favourite.
00:14:04That's a favourite.
00:14:34What are his observations?
00:15:00BP, 70 over 40 and falling.
00:15:02Tachycardic at 140 and his less of...
00:15:05OK, let's get him on the table, please.
00:15:06Take it easy, folks.
00:15:07Ready, one, three, one, two...
00:15:08When was he shot?
00:15:09About five hours ago.
00:15:10Five hours, what's his name?
00:15:11We don't have a drip span in here now, Angela.
00:15:12Oh, it's your name.
00:15:14Oh, sorry, Matthew.
00:15:15Matt.
00:15:16OK.
00:15:17Matt, can you squeeze my hand, please?
00:15:18He's lost a lot of blood.
00:15:19We've given him 500 mills of saline.
00:15:21I can have more access, please.
00:15:23Get me two units cross-matched and some O-negative now, please.
00:15:26Don't you worry, Matt.
00:15:27We'll soon have you sorted out.
00:15:28Well, then, a Matthew Burke will be there soon in 15 minutes.
00:15:30Well, he's still with us, Stuart.
00:15:33That's about all I know.
00:15:34What are the doctors saying?
00:15:36Well, this is not really good, but they're doing what they can.
00:15:41Stuart, can I have a look at this?
00:15:43I've got to go, Jackie.
00:15:45Let me know when.
00:15:47Well, Liv.
00:15:48Yeah.
00:15:48You know, any news.
00:15:50Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:15:51Bye.
00:15:52Bye.
00:15:58Well, it doesn't look good, Robbie.
00:16:01You should have called him.
00:16:02It was too late by then.
00:16:03No.
00:16:04You should have listened to her.
00:16:05All we can do is catch a bastard.
00:16:07Yeah, well, this looks like the sport.
00:16:10Boot print there.
00:16:11Knee there.
00:16:13Through the reeds.
00:16:14Can you get a shot of the ground here?
00:16:21Timberlands, apparently.
00:16:23See if Dixon's got a pair to match.
00:16:25From his wife?
00:16:26No option.
00:16:28There's nothing left of the bullet that killed Archie Meads.
00:16:31Straight through his skull and out the window.
00:16:33The other bullet's buried in the boss's neck.
00:16:36So the boss is a victim and a witness.
00:16:38Great.
00:16:39We'll need you to find Dixon.
00:16:41And soon.
00:16:42Right, lads.
00:16:43I want this double-teamed at all times.
00:16:45Understood?
00:16:46One goes to the toilet, the other two stay.
00:16:53Excuse me.
00:16:54Could I just ask you about Mr Burke?
00:16:56Do we know about the next of kin?
00:16:57Oh, no, I've tried to contact his family, but no joy as yet.
00:17:01How is he?
00:17:02Well, I just got this back from x-ray.
00:17:04The bullet's lodged in the anterior of the atlas vertebrae to the back of the spine here.
00:17:10So could there be spinal damage?
00:17:12Well, it's too early to say.
00:17:13He's lost a lot of blood.
00:17:15The bullet caused major lateral trauma, but just missed his left ventral jugular.
00:17:19No, I'm sorry.
00:17:20You've lost me.
00:17:21Well, basically, we need to get that bullet out.
00:17:23It's very close to the spinal cord, but we can't operate till the swelling goes down.
00:17:28We've deeply sedated him and stabilized the situation.
00:17:31This is my colleague.
00:17:33So when do you think he can operate?
00:17:34Two, maybe three days.
00:17:36Is he, er, I mean, er...
00:17:38Well, I won't give you any false hope.
00:17:40This is a very serious injury.
00:17:42Right now, I'm afraid it's just, er, wait and see.
00:17:45Could we have a copy of that x-ray?
00:17:47Yeah, no problem.
00:17:50Do you think this might have something to do with Archie?
00:17:52Do they know each other?
00:17:54Not that I know of.
00:18:00Are you sure ballistics can't do anything more with this?
00:18:03You know the story.
00:18:03They need the bullet.
00:18:04And when are they going to get it?
00:18:06Robbie, right now they're just trying to keep him alive.
00:18:08The bullet's the least of their worries.
00:18:10Bastard.
00:18:11What a bastard.
00:18:13Yeah.
00:18:14Excuse me.
00:18:16There's a call for you.
00:18:17Oh, thank you.
00:18:19DS Reid.
00:18:22Yeah, we'll be right there.
00:18:24What is it?
00:18:26Stevie Dixon's just walked into the office with his lawyer.
00:18:30This sign here.
00:18:32It's in your boots and clothes for forensic analysis.
00:18:33What is that then?
00:18:35Foot in the mouth.
00:18:36I'm not in the mood, Mr. Dixon.
00:18:39Let's get on with it then.
00:18:40Your wife furnished you with an alibi which has since proven false.
00:18:54So I want you to tell me what you know about the shooting of the two police officers.
00:18:58Well, I don't know anything about any shooting.
00:19:03You were arrested last week by Detectives Meads and McQuillan.
00:19:06Aye, for pirate CDs.
00:19:08That was it.
00:19:10You bastard.
00:19:11I'm going to kill you.
00:19:14I swear I will.
00:19:16Any comment?
00:19:19Do you deny you threatened to kill D.C. Meads?
00:19:22I never said anything like that.
00:19:24And I don't know anything about this other cop, whoever the hell he is.
00:19:27This other cop is my boss and he's fighting for his life.
00:19:29So where were you this morning?
00:19:33I was on my boat.
00:19:35You listen to me, Stevie.
00:19:36You are in deep shit here.
00:19:38Oh.
00:19:39You met the wife then?
00:19:40Where were you?
00:19:48I was in the hospitality inn.
00:19:51Room 303.
00:19:53Anyone corroborate that?
00:19:54I need a name.
00:20:12Mary Innes.
00:20:14Mrs. Mary Innes.
00:20:17She owns the tan and salon across the road from my shop.
00:20:22Sorry, mate.
00:20:24They're both Timberlands.
00:20:27Other than that, they can't say.
00:20:29So we can't place him at the lock side.
00:20:31Sorry.
00:20:31Yeah, and I hate to say this, but his story holds up as well.
00:20:35He went into the hotel at the time he said he did.
00:20:37And Mary Innes, the lady from the tanning salon, confirms it.
00:20:39Could have gone to the hotel and then headed off.
00:20:42Yeah, yeah, you could have.
00:20:43What about the gun?
00:20:44We've taken the shop and his house apart.
00:20:46Nothing.
00:20:47Okay, check his boat again.
00:20:49Not letting him go till we have a full forensic test on his clothes.
00:20:52His lawyer won't like it.
00:20:54Exactly.
00:20:55And find out if the boss ever had anything to do with Archie Meads.
00:20:59Anything.
00:21:00Hello?
00:21:01Yes, Doctor, it's DS Reed.
00:21:04Yeah, we'll be right there.
00:21:08See you there.
00:21:09So, what's the next step?
00:21:15Well, we've stabilised him as much as we can, and so far he's holding his own.
00:21:19So we plan to operate tomorrow.
00:21:21His father's given the go-ahead.
00:21:23Strangely enough, he's never visited.
00:21:25No.
00:21:26I believe they aren't close.
00:21:29Okay, fine.
00:21:30I'll make the arrangements then.
00:21:32Right.
00:21:33Checked all our files.
00:21:35Burke and Meads never work together.
00:21:37But they do know one another.
00:21:38They made phone calls to each other over the last week.
00:21:41So it's no coincidence they've both been targeted?
00:21:43Yeah.
00:21:44The last thing Meads did was text his number to the boss.
00:21:48Johnny Lewis Scott.
00:21:50He owns a large country estate near Kippen.
00:21:52How is he, anyway?
00:21:54Well, they're operating tomorrow.
00:21:57Listen, we know he's here.
00:21:58Let's get some sleep.
00:21:59Jackie, first thing in the morning.
00:22:00Find out about this guy.
00:22:03Hey, Stuart.
00:22:04We're going to have to search the boss's flat.
00:22:08Pull!
00:22:16Pull!
00:22:17Pull!
00:22:22Pull!
00:22:27Pull!
00:22:31Excuse me, gents.
00:22:33I'm looking for Mr Lewis Scott.
00:22:35The brigadier.
00:22:37It's him over there.
00:22:38Oh, thank you.
00:22:41Miss, walk round the red flags.
00:22:45Pull!
00:22:48Brigadier!
00:22:52Detective Sergeant Reed.
00:22:54Hello.
00:22:56Johnny.
00:22:57Johnny Lewis Scott.
00:22:59What can I do for you?
00:22:59What can I do for you?
00:22:59What can I do for you?
00:23:22This is really strange, doing this.
00:23:24Yeah.
00:23:35This must be his son.
00:23:39You wonder how well you ever know anyone.
00:23:40Stuart, look at this.
00:23:59The boss and Archie Meade's in the same angling club.
00:24:05Must be thousands here.
00:24:06So how long have your family been here?
00:24:26Well, this room was part of the original keep.
00:24:29Dates back to the 12th century.
00:24:31Over the centuries, various members of the family added new wings.
00:24:36There's a Jacobean wing, a Georgian wing, a Victorian wing.
00:24:43The last addition to the house was made by my father in the 40s.
00:24:47That's him.
00:24:50He died two years ago.
00:24:52And you inherited the estate?
00:24:54Yes.
00:24:54I've made a few changes.
00:24:56You have to move with the times.
00:24:57We organise hunting and shooting parties.
00:25:00We even hire out the house in the summer for weddings.
00:25:03Hold!
00:25:04These are the gentlemen I was telling you about.
00:25:07Detective Constable Archie Meade's.
00:25:09Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Burke.
00:25:11Do you recognise them?
00:25:13No, I... I don't.
00:25:16So you have no idea why DC Meade's would give Mr Burke your number just before they were both shot?
00:25:22My telephone number?
00:25:24No, I haven't the slightest clue.
00:25:27Who knows?
00:25:28Perhaps they wanted to come up here and do a bit of shooting.
00:25:32How is the injured officer?
00:25:34He's critical.
00:25:35He's in intensive care.
00:25:37I'm terribly sorry about that.
00:25:39I wish I could be of more help.
00:25:456,420.
00:25:48They match the notes we found in Meade's house.
00:25:51This is just unbelievable.
00:25:55Well, you know what we have to do.
00:25:59Now, Matthew Burke is a twisted, aggravating pain in the arse.
00:26:02But he wouldn't take a free cup of tea, let alone a backhander, and you know it.
00:26:05What I know is.
00:26:07We have to take this to the professional standards unit.
00:26:10Well, well, well.
00:26:12You've got a short memory, Robbie.
00:26:14What do you mean?
00:26:15No, it's just that I don't remember the boss squealing to the PSU when you were found with your trousers at your ankles last year.
00:26:21And we had to cover for you.
00:26:23Yeah, but I just think...
00:26:24They'd hang him out to dry.
00:26:25You know what they're like.
00:26:26There's no smoke without fire.
00:26:28Listen, Jackie.
00:26:28No!
00:26:29You listen to me.
00:26:30You either back the boss or you don't.
00:26:33Matthew Burke is not on the take.
00:26:35Right?
00:26:35I'm not stupid.
00:26:37I know that.
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:38Well, just forget about the bloody PSU, will we?
00:26:41Sorry, I, uh...
00:26:43Will I come back?
00:26:45No.
00:26:46No, I've finished here.
00:26:55How's Matt?
00:26:57Yeah, he's still unconscious.
00:27:00They're going to operate this morning.
00:27:01How'd you got on with Dixon?
00:27:03He's got a watertight alibi.
00:27:05He's a lying bastard.
00:27:06You take that from me.
00:27:08We're pre-hobbing him now if you want to see him before.
00:27:32Oh, I really wish you could see the boys.
00:27:36Stuart's brought you flowers, but he's not allowed to bring them in.
00:27:44Strathclyde's finest.
00:27:47Oh, you're talking of which?
00:27:50Did you know you were all over the papers?
00:27:53Turns out you're a top detective.
00:27:54Right, boss.
00:27:55Right, boss.
00:28:03Right, boss.
00:28:04Let's go.
00:28:34Kevin, you bastard!
00:28:56So what's the hold-up?
00:28:59He's not well enough.
00:29:01They've postponed it till tomorrow.
00:29:03Oh, Jesus Christ, this is torture.
00:29:06Yeah, but it might be for the best.
00:29:08Come on, lads, we need to stay focused.
00:29:11Anything on Stevie's clothes?
00:29:13No, nothing.
00:29:16Right, what we need to do
00:29:17is put more pressure on the Dixons.
00:29:19More on, Stuart.
00:29:20They're making a total mug out of you, do you know that?
00:29:37Nobody's doing anything to me, right?
00:29:39This is all going to blow over.
00:29:41You saw it will.
00:29:42Well, if you keep your mouth shut, we'll be fine.
00:29:44Mind if we don't wheel it round?
00:29:49Yes, boss.
00:29:50Thanks, you're cool.
00:29:51Right, you two, come on.
00:29:53Oh, yeah, wait.
00:29:55This is harassment.
00:29:57We'll give you a seat for anything we take.
00:29:58Check all the covers, Stuart.
00:29:59My lawyer should be here.
00:30:01Aye, too right you should.
00:30:02Someone wants you to be the party for all this, Stevie boy.
00:30:04How much they pay you?
00:30:05Look, I've told you, there's no-one else.
00:30:07We've linked you to the bribery money.
00:30:09What money?
00:30:10Come on, your DNA's all over the envelopes, Stevie.
00:30:13You try to frame our boss,
00:30:15and now he's in the hospital with a bullet in his neck.
00:30:16Hey, whoa.
00:30:17I never touched any envelopes.
00:30:19Okay.
00:30:20So who's spreading all this cash around, then?
00:30:22Is there a big job on?
00:30:23Is that it?
00:30:24Why don't you leave me alone?
00:30:26Tell them!
00:30:27For God's sake, tell them or I will!
00:30:28You shut it!
00:30:30It's Mickey Watson you want.
00:30:32You'll find him at the port.
00:30:33Out!
00:30:34Get out, period!
00:30:35You two want to come back and bring a warrant?
00:30:39What's going to do?
00:30:46I'm a dead man.
00:30:49Oh, God.
00:31:09So, what can I do for you this time?
00:31:30Seems you know Stevie Dixon quite well.
00:31:33He goes in and out of his boat.
00:31:36He used to do a few wee delivery jobs for me.
00:31:38Used to?
00:31:40Yeah, well, I had to nail everything down when he was around.
00:31:43Our relationship was mutually terminated.
00:31:46What's he done now?
00:31:47Your name came up in our murder inquiry.
00:31:51What murder inquiry?
00:31:52What are you talking about?
00:31:53One dead cop and another critical.
00:31:56And what's that got to do with me?
00:31:59What is this?
00:32:00Where were you yesterday morning?
00:32:01At work, transporting stuff, delivering, picking things up.
00:32:07You saw me yourself.
00:32:08We saw you three hours after the shootings.
00:32:11We'll need to see a tack of graphs and paperwork.
00:32:12How's the tackles?
00:32:18Been painting?
00:32:21Yeah, I thought I'd freshen the place up a bit.
00:32:25It was her, wasn't it?
00:32:27Who?
00:32:28That lunatic wife of his.
00:32:29What makes you say that?
00:32:31She hates my guts for sacking him.
00:32:33But she's a lying bitch.
00:32:35Is that all?
00:32:36That woman wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit her on the arse.
00:32:40You been up?
00:32:41Hi, we've not met.
00:32:45I'm Detective Sergeant Jackie Reid.
00:32:46He's not here.
00:32:48Yeah, I know.
00:32:48I've just seen him leave.
00:32:49Well, I've got nothing to say to you.
00:32:51Well, you're sporting my colleagues about Mickey Watson.
00:32:54What's he involved in here?
00:32:55Listen, just leave me alone, will you?
00:32:58Does your husband have access to a lot of funds?
00:33:01Look at this place.
00:33:02It's not exactly Harrods, is it?
00:33:04So why is he connected to Watson?
00:33:08Look, Divina, we can speak in confidence.
00:33:11Look, I'm trying to help you here.
00:33:17Can you not see that?
00:33:18Look, why don't you just piss off?
00:33:20You've got to annoy somebody else.
00:33:21Go on, leave me in peace.
00:33:23Look.
00:33:24Take my mobile number.
00:33:26Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:29We can talk in private.
00:33:30Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:31Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:32Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:33Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:34Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:35Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:36Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:37Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:38Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:39Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:40Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:41Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:42Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:43Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:44Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:45Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:46Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:47Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:48Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:49Call me any time, night or day.
00:33:50Hello?
00:34:01Who's that?
00:34:20Jesus Christ.
00:34:35Why didn't you phone back?
00:34:38I've been busy.
00:34:40I had the police at my place all day asking about a murdered cop.
00:34:43What the hell's going on?
00:34:44Would you calm down?
00:34:46It's got nothing to do with us.
00:34:47Don't give me that bullshit. They were here too.
00:34:49Everything is fine.
00:34:52And tomorrow?
00:34:54It's all said.
00:34:56I've paid a lot of money for all this.
00:34:58If it goes pear-shaped because of Strathclyde's boys in blue sniffing around, you'll regret it.
00:35:04Oh, you.
00:35:06Don't you ever talk to me like that again.
00:35:09I'll talk to you any damn way I like.
00:35:12And it better not go wrong.
00:35:15Understood?
00:35:19Jack, you need a break.
00:35:31Ach, I'm fine.
00:35:33Thanks.
00:35:34How'd you go on with the fishing club members?
00:35:36I cross-checked all their names.
00:35:37There's no link to the Landridge Gun Club.
00:35:40I'm not surprised.
00:35:42The boss hates guns.
00:35:43So what did you find out about this Le Scott?
00:35:47Well, for a start, he's no chinless wonder.
00:35:50He cultivates that image, but it's just a front.
00:35:53He retired two years ago from the SES.
00:35:56To do what?
00:35:58Well, it says in their security consultant, but he's not very good at it.
00:36:02How'd you know that?
00:36:03He went bankrupt last year.
00:36:05Hasn't got a penny to his name.
00:36:07I didn't have any business with the boss that we know of.
00:36:09Nothing we can find.
00:36:11What about with Archie Meads?
00:36:15Lewis Scott.
00:36:17I'd remember that name.
00:36:18Doesn't mean a thing to me.
00:36:20Have you checked up on Archie's files?
00:36:22Aye.
00:36:23Not by three years.
00:36:24No mention of him.
00:36:26But Archie was obviously concerned about him.
00:36:28Yeah, but they all went hunting, shooting and fishing together.
00:36:31No, we don't think so.
00:36:33I know this guy.
00:36:35Watson.
00:36:36Bent lorry driver.
00:36:37I'll check our files, but I don't think he had anything to do with Archie.
00:36:43How'd you got on with Stevie Dixon?
00:36:45Well, you might ask.
00:36:47You're pointing a finger, but we can't get anything on him.
00:36:50All I know is he was mouthing off about Archie.
00:36:55How's Mr. Burke?
00:36:59Not good.
00:37:03It's a list of flights from Glasgow to Latvia.
00:37:24And?
00:37:25Lewis Scott and Watson travelled in the same flight to Riga.
00:37:28And neither Scotland-Latvia match.
00:37:30Heh.
00:37:31I'm just trying to picture the Brigadier and I see you jimmywig.
00:37:35How did this soldier boy strike you, Jackie?
00:37:37Oh, perfectly charming.
00:37:38Yeah, let's see how charming he'll be with me.
00:37:41Get Watson in.
00:37:42I'll let them boast you.
00:38:00Excuse me.
00:38:03Is the Brigadier around?
00:38:04He's due back soon.
00:38:06Can I help you?
00:38:07Do you keep a record of the comings and goings here?
00:38:10Well, I keep a register, if that's what you mean.
00:38:12Can I have a look?
00:38:13There you go.
00:38:14Sixth to the seventh.
00:38:15You were right.
00:38:16It was just the two of them here.
00:38:17The Brigadier and Mr. Watson.
00:38:18And again here.
00:38:19The two of them alone?
00:38:20Yeah, looks like it.
00:38:21That was my day off.
00:38:22Did you shoot yourself?
00:38:23I run the estate for the Brigadier.
00:38:24That's it.
00:38:25Hello.
00:38:26Have you come for the shooting?
00:38:27DI Ross, I wonder if we can have a wee chat.
00:38:28I'm a bit busy at the moment, as you can see.
00:38:30These gentlemen have just come from Italy for a bit of shooting.
00:38:31Ah, buongiorno signore.
00:38:32Buongiorno signore.
00:38:33Buongiorno signore.
00:38:34Buongiorno signore.
00:38:35Buongiorno signore.
00:38:36Buongiorno signore.
00:38:37Buongiorno signore.
00:38:38Buongiorno signore.
00:38:39Buongiorno signore.
00:38:40Hello.
00:38:41Have you come for the shooting?
00:38:42DI Ross, I wonder if we can have a wee chat.
00:38:45I'm a bit busy at the moment, as you can see.
00:38:47These gentlemen have just come from Italy for a bit of shooting.
00:38:49Ah, buongiorno signore.
00:38:51Buongiorno signore.
00:38:52If you'd like to leave your number.
00:38:54No, I don't think you'd grasp the seriousness of this.
00:38:57I want to interview you about a murder and an attempted murder.
00:39:00No.
00:39:01I'm afraid that's completely out of the question.
00:39:03This way, gentlemen.
00:39:05You enjoy killing?
00:39:10No.
00:39:15Seven years on and off in bandit country.
00:39:20What were you doing then?
00:39:22I was a soldier.
00:39:24I was doing my job.
00:39:27I have to tell you, you're making a big mistake here.
00:39:34I wouldn't be involved in killing a policeman.
00:39:37It would be bad for business.
00:39:39Business is bad, according to your accounts.
00:39:43I've suffered some financial embarrassment.
00:39:46You're an undischarged bankrupt brigadier.
00:39:49You're about to lose your house, aren't you?
00:39:52Pending appeal.
00:39:53So what's the deal with Mickey Watson?
00:39:59I enjoy the odd pop at a clay pigeon.
00:40:01That's it.
00:40:02So you and Lewis Scott have to know each other well then?
00:40:05No, I wouldn't say so, no.
00:40:07You share an interest in football.
00:40:09So do you like a pie at half-time?
00:40:12Excuse me?
00:40:13You know, game of two halves, sleeping giant, sick as a parrot.
00:40:18Ah, the Latvia game.
00:40:20Yes, well, we're both sporting masochists.
00:40:23We enjoy watching Scotland.
00:40:28So we went to a football match together.
00:40:30So what?
00:40:31What was the score?
00:40:32Well, we murdered them.
00:40:340-3.
00:40:35Are you finished?
00:40:48So what do you think?
00:40:50I don't know.
00:40:52The stories sort of stack up.
00:40:54Yeah, well, they're up to something together.
00:40:59What's up, Stuart?
00:41:00You know, you asked me to check all the surveillance logs.
00:41:02Yeah.
00:41:03I kept a man in Angela Mead's house.
00:41:05The widow?
00:41:06The car has made three visits to the cottage in the last three days.
00:41:10The driver parked a hundred yards down the road,
00:41:12then sneaked in through the back.
00:41:13Who is it?
00:41:16DS McQuillan.
00:41:25Doesn't look too good, does it?
00:41:27You tell me.
00:41:28My dad was a baker in Boulsland's over there.
00:41:3545 years and all he got was a coffin, a gold watch.
00:41:37It never worked.
00:41:42So what are we up here for?
00:41:44The old pals act before the caution?
00:41:48In about five minutes, this is official.
00:41:50Can't hide this.
00:41:51You're in the frame, mate.
00:41:54You heard gaffers in the frame with six grand of petty cash.
00:41:56What are you going to do about that?
00:41:58Four minutes.
00:42:02It's no big secret.
00:42:03I love her.
00:42:05People in love do crazy things.
00:42:07Algie never knew.
00:42:08It was after they split up.
00:42:12Might keep it quiet.
00:42:15Angela's been through enough.
00:42:16Do you want to change the statement you made on the day of the murder?
00:42:24No.
00:42:27Okay.
00:42:29I'm going to have to caution you.
00:42:31Save it, Robbie.
00:42:32Let's go.
00:42:39Let's go.
00:42:46My relationship with Kevin has got absolutely nothing to do with my husband's murder.
00:42:56And just how would you describe your relationship with Sergeant McQuillan?
00:42:59That is none of your damn business.
00:43:01No, I'm afraid it very much is.
00:43:03Listen to me.
00:43:04I have been to hell and back in the last six months.
00:43:07Kevin is a friend.
00:43:08He helped me get through it.
00:43:10That's it.
00:43:11Now, if you don't mind, I've got work to do.
00:43:12Where were you in the day your husband was shot?
00:43:18At Kevin's place.
00:43:20How long for?
00:43:21I had stayed the night okay, then I came back here.
00:43:25Alone?
00:43:27Yes.
00:43:29Angela, this house is halfway between the two shootings.
00:43:32You know, you really ought to spend more time amongst decent people
00:43:36instead of the street sweepings you slide around in.
00:43:38Then maybe you'd realise the world is actually full of decent people.
00:43:43So that's all you have to say?
00:43:45No.
00:43:47I want you to get a message to Kevin.
00:43:49I'm listening.
00:43:51Tell him.
00:43:53Tell him I said he should tell you the whole story now.
00:43:59That's what she said.
00:44:00Archie was on the take.
00:44:09I'd been on and off for years.
00:44:16And that's it?
00:44:20No.
00:44:22It wasn't just for himself.
00:44:25He offered me cash too.
00:44:27For what?
00:44:28No, I don't know.
00:44:30Just like I don't know about Burke.
00:44:35Some big deal going down other than that.
00:44:42So what happened the day of the shooting?
00:44:46He asked me to come along with him, said the guy was going to be at the house often as a piece of the action.
00:44:51And you decided to go?
00:44:52I went with him to persuade him to leave it alone, tell the guy where to shove it.
00:44:58But the bastard was already there with the gun.
00:45:01Go on.
00:45:03The door was open.
00:45:08Archie was lying dead.
00:45:09It was like I'd said before.
00:45:14Any tumbling going on me, I've had the deck, he's got off his mark.
00:45:19So what did you do then?
00:45:21I'm lying there.
00:45:23I was up as a 20k lying on Archie's floor.
00:45:26I did what any mate would do.
00:45:27Had the money in the garage and cleaned the place up.
00:45:36This is all a bit too late, Kevin.
00:45:39Where I come from you don't grasp your partner.
00:45:42That's the bottom line.
00:45:43So don't you come to hide and bloody mighty with me.
00:45:46I don't believe you.
00:45:48I don't give a shit what you believe anymore.
00:45:51Quite frankly, you can charge me whatever you want.
00:45:54Withholding evidence, obstructing a murder inquiry.
00:45:59I am past Karen.
00:46:15Hello.
00:46:33Oh, it's you.
00:46:36What now?
00:46:39Oh, can I not wait till tomorrow night?
00:46:41Okay.
00:46:44Okay, okay.
00:46:47Right, bye.
00:46:48What's the lot of it?
00:46:50It's safer if I don't tell you.
00:46:51Here, lock up.
00:46:53Stevie.
00:46:54I'll see you tonight at the house.
00:46:56Stevie, come back.
00:47:00He's still breathing.
00:47:02Other than that.
00:47:04I'm sorry, Stuart, what was that?
00:47:05I can't hear you.
00:47:06Shh, shh, shh.
00:47:08Sorry, Stuart, what was that?
00:47:09I've just come out.
00:47:12They say they just don't know.
00:47:14And what about the bullets?
00:47:16There's writing on it.
00:47:18I can't make it out.
00:47:20Can I, er...
00:47:22Just give us a sec.
00:47:23Look, I'll bring it straight over.
00:47:29I think we've been cut off.
00:47:31I'm afraid there's been a bit more damage to the blood vessels than we first thought.
00:47:35What does that mean?
00:47:36There's been a hemorrhage.
00:47:39I think you'd better get prepared for the worst.
00:47:44What was he saying?
00:47:45Well, he's still in the theatre and they're not...
00:47:47Oh, thank God.
00:47:48Stuart.
00:47:50Oh.
00:47:51Oh, hello.
00:47:53Right.
00:47:54Where?
00:47:55I'll have to see a little more.
00:47:56Okay.
00:47:57Aye, on you go.
00:47:58See you in a couple of minutes.
00:47:59Thanks for calling.
00:48:00If he finds out I can talk to you, he won't. I promise.
00:48:01So what's it you wanted to tell me?
00:48:02He's getting over his head.
00:48:03Something's happening tomorrow.
00:48:04Some scheme.
00:48:05I don't know.
00:48:06Do you know where?
00:48:07No idea.
00:48:08Is it with Watson?
00:48:09I really don't know.
00:48:10He won't tell me anything.
00:48:11But listen.
00:48:12I got this from the bank this morning.
00:48:13a statement to him.
00:48:14I got this from the bank this morning.
00:48:16A statement to him.
00:48:17But we've already been to him.
00:48:18What?
00:48:19Good.
00:48:20What?
00:48:21Something's going down.
00:48:22It's all out.
00:48:23Okay.
00:48:24How's it going down?
00:48:25You've got a deal.
00:48:26Oh, man.
00:48:27Oh, my God.
00:48:28I have a problem.
00:48:29What?
00:48:30What is things?
00:48:31I'm going to tell you.
00:48:32I'm going to tell me.
00:48:33I can't help you.
00:48:34The figure out you have a deal.
00:48:35I'll tell you.
00:48:36I can't help you.
00:48:37I'm going to tell you.
00:48:38You see?
00:48:39Ah, you're going to tell me.
00:48:40You're going to tell me anything.
00:48:43But we've already checked your accounts.
00:48:44Not this one, you've no.
00:48:48£10,000 paid in?
00:48:50Last week we never had 10,000 pennies.
00:48:53Find out who gave him that and you'll find out who's behind all this.
00:48:57Listen, I love my man.
00:48:59I know he's no saint, but I need him.
00:49:05We all need him.
00:49:07That's the only reason I'm talking to you.
00:49:10Yeah, I understand, Davina.
00:49:11Yeah, don't let me down then.
00:49:17All right, boys, come on.
00:49:20We need to go.
00:49:24OK, Stuart.
00:49:25I'll see you up there in a minute, OK?
00:49:29Hey, Maclellan.
00:49:33Is this the we're only doing our job speech?
00:49:36Nah.
00:49:37Could be me in your shoes, mate, you know?
00:49:39I'm really sorry about all this.
00:49:43I should have told you, man.
00:49:45I apologise.
00:49:47I've been a bit emotional.
00:49:49Losing the partner.
00:49:50Sure.
00:49:52How's Burke?
00:49:54Oh, Matt's a cussed bastard.
00:49:56He'll not give up without a fight.
00:49:58Hang on now.
00:49:58Poorly.
00:50:06What in God's name does Poorly mean?
00:50:08How the hell would I know?
00:50:10They talk in code.
00:50:11He's very weak.
00:50:13They're not hopeful.
00:50:16Look at this writing on the bullet.
00:50:18What writing?
00:50:20E something.
00:50:21The funny mark above the E's.
00:50:23Like a V.
00:50:24And your point is?
00:50:25Well, it might be Russian.
00:50:27Or someone from the university having a look at it.
00:50:30OK.
00:50:32Good man.
00:50:34So what now?
00:50:36I can't think straight.
00:50:39Well, not much use to the boss moping around up here.
00:50:45Lewis Scott and Watson are up to something.
00:50:47Meads was their insurance policy.
00:50:49Inside information, turning a blind eye, whatever.
00:50:52So why shoot Meads?
00:50:54He bottled out and told the boss.
00:50:56On a fishing trip?
00:50:57Aye.
00:50:57Why not?
00:50:58I mean, they both had to be taken out.
00:51:00Meads told the boss about Lewis Scott too late.
00:51:03Any word?
00:51:07It's not looking good, Jackie.
00:51:13Do you know, you always imagine it's going to be in some dark alleyway, don't you?
00:51:18A wet night.
00:51:19Some wee scumbag with a blunt knife.
00:51:25That loch was just too beautiful.
00:51:30He's not going to die.
00:51:39Right, Dave.
00:51:42Somebody's put ten grand into Stevie Dixon's bank account.
00:51:45But we checked all the accounts.
00:51:47Well, not this one, we didn't.
00:51:49His wife's scared stiff.
00:51:51Thinks he's involved in some big deal tomorrow.
00:51:53So we've got 24 hours to find out where they're up to.
00:51:56More importantly, where?
00:51:58I guess Dixon is the key to all this.
00:52:00He could be in danger.
00:52:01Stuart, pick him up.
00:52:02All right.
00:52:02All right.
00:52:03All right.
00:52:11All right.
00:52:17BELL RINGS
00:52:47BELL RINGS
00:52:57Robbie, it's Stuart. Stevie's not at home.
00:53:02She's been in the shop, no sign of him. He's gone AWOL. We've missed him.
00:53:06Shit, I'll get back to Dixon's house. Wait there.
00:53:09Okay then.
00:53:11Get the patrol cars out to Lewis, Scott and Watson.
00:53:14What's happening?
00:53:15Stevie's disappeared.
00:53:17BELL RINGS
00:53:36Are you ready?
00:53:48Neither Watson nor Lewis Scott are at home.
00:53:52Any chance of some good news?
00:54:06I'm ready.
00:54:36Ah.
00:55:06What's so urgent?
00:55:36Robbie, when I was in Belfast in the 70s, we had a term for this sort of thing, a close quarter plug.
00:55:53Really?
00:55:54It was a grand place for a pathologist on the make, believe me. I haven't seen this sort of thing before.
00:55:59I think you've mentioned it a couple of times, Magnus.
00:56:02Sorry. He was shot at very close quarters, similar to the first killing.
00:56:06So what do you reckon?
00:56:08No binding marks, no sign of a struggle, a single shot just below the sternum.
00:56:12In my opinion, he either knew who killed him, or the killer suddenly pulled out a gun and bop.
00:56:18Or both.
00:56:20No struggle, no mess, no clues.
00:56:24Local farmer found the body this morning. House is all locked up. Still no sign of Lewis Scott.
00:56:30Somehow I think he's going to be late for work.
00:56:32Robbie, traces come through in Stevie's bank account.
00:56:34Money was paid in by Road Crew Transport, Mickey Watson's firm.
00:56:40Excuse me.
00:56:41Hello?
00:56:44When?
00:56:50Yeah?
00:56:53No, I'll be there right away.
00:56:54OK, thanks for letting me know.
00:57:00It's the boss.
00:57:03He's regained consciousness.
00:57:05Oh, God, I thought...
00:57:06Listen, Jackie, you get over to the hospital.
00:57:08We'll go back to the office, get an APB out on Lewis Scott and Watson.
00:57:11OK, how about that? Feel anything?
00:57:17No?
00:57:19All right, just relax for the moment.
00:57:21Plenty of time for a chat later.
00:57:27Yes, you're just for a moment.
00:57:28Who did this to you?
00:57:48Who was it, sir? Did you see?
00:57:54What means in the take? Is that what you found out?
00:57:56Would you please leave now?
00:58:05OK, thank you.
00:58:07It's OK, Mr Burke.
00:58:08Take a deep breath.
00:58:24Really?
00:58:24That's fantastic.
00:58:27Thanks a lot. Bye.
00:58:28What is it?
00:58:29Remember EAK?
00:58:30And the bullet from the boss's neck?
00:58:32Yeah.
00:58:32With the wee V mark above the E?
00:58:34Aye.
00:58:34It's a diacritic mark.
00:58:36It's a what?
00:58:37It's Latvia.
00:58:38And the Baltic Sea?
00:58:40Dixon's boat.
00:58:41How's it going?
00:58:57Not bad.
00:58:59What about halfway there?
00:59:00I'll be able to get going.
00:59:17I'll make breakfast.
00:59:18I'll beこと of this.
00:59:20Oh, my God.
00:59:50Sorry, darling. Got a rush. Got to be in town by nine.
01:00:08Don't worry. It's fine. You get off.
01:00:16You OK?
01:00:17Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
01:00:20Give yours to the cat.
01:00:28On the other hand, I could be persuaded.
01:00:34You've got a nine o'clock, remember? Beat it.
01:00:38I'll be back at eight, eh?
01:00:40I'll be here. Bye.
01:00:42May I help, please? Can I help you?
01:01:05DS Reed.
01:01:06DS Reed's at the office.
01:01:08Look, I need to talk to her. It's extremely urgent. It's about Archie Meade's murder.
01:01:12Oh, OK. I'll try to ask for any of the hospital. Hold the line, call her.
01:01:16Jackie?
01:01:17Yeah?
01:01:18Oh, thank God.
01:01:19Angela?
01:01:21Jackie, I am so sorry.
01:01:23All right. He's taking me for a complete mug.
01:01:30All right, let's go.
01:01:39Oh, please!
01:01:40Hold for your head!
01:01:41So, brigadier, what have you got?
01:01:51Machine guns. RPGs.
01:01:53And which of the world's killing fields were they off to?
01:01:58Was it worth the lives of two men?
01:02:00We didn't kill anyone.
01:02:01What's this lot for?
01:02:03Target practice?
01:02:04Do you honestly think we'd have wanted trouble up here with all this going on?
01:02:08I've got 80 trained men waiting for these.
01:02:10I paid through the nose to stop any trouble.
01:02:13Who to?
01:02:18Tell him.
01:02:19Excuse me.
01:02:25DS Reed.
01:02:26Jackie, make sure the hospital's secure.
01:02:28McCollin's our man.
01:02:30Yeah, I know. It's done, Robbie.
01:02:32Don't worry, you won't get near him.
01:02:36Right over here.
01:02:49Thanks.
01:03:05Thanks.
01:03:06Thanks.
01:04:16You're scum, McQuillan.
01:04:32Save it, Robbie.
01:04:33Cuff him.
01:04:35Just read me my rights.
01:04:37You kill your partner.
01:04:39You shoot my boss.
01:04:40You plant money in his flat!
01:04:41Robbie!
01:04:45I'm about to formally charge you.
01:04:47You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say may be noted and used in evidence.
01:04:51Do you understand the caution?
01:04:55Do you understand the caution?
01:04:57Yes, I do.
01:04:58Kevin James McQuillan, I'm arresting you for the murders of Detective Constable Archie Meats and Stephen Dixon.
01:05:04And for the attempted murder of...
01:05:05Glad you're on the main, sir.
01:05:12Yeah, it's been a wee bit quiet without you.
01:05:14Right, let's get back to the office and enjoy the peace while we can.
