00:02:27I want to see bruises on your chins!
00:02:30Where's Matheson?
00:02:32The Lord Sergeant!
00:02:33Wasn't it his bunk sergeant?
00:02:34When I find him, he's in the cage!
00:02:39Right on me!

00:02:49I hate these things.
00:02:52Take a seat.
00:02:58Your annual appraisal.
00:02:59You'll notice a marcher low in judgment.
00:03:04You'll notice a marcher low in judgment.
00:03:06I'll do it.
00:03:07You'll notice a marcher low in judgment.
00:03:08Of course a marcher low in judgment.
00:03:09You'll notice a marcher low in judgment.
00:03:10Let's go.
00:03:34Oh, shit.
00:03:41It's Matheson.
00:03:47Who said you could stop running? Move!
00:03:52A four?
00:03:54How can that be a four?
00:03:56That's my opinion.
00:03:57I've been getting results.
00:03:59Come on, Robbie. More through luck than judgement.
00:04:04This is gonna kill my promotion chances.
00:04:06There'll be other reports.
00:04:07Aye.
00:04:08Next year.
00:04:10And then what?
00:04:11It's up to you, isn't it?
00:04:13Burke.
00:04:19Oh! Lover's tiff.
00:04:21Must have failed his M.O.T.
00:04:23I'd appreciate it if you'd get your noses out of my business.
00:04:28All right, stop what you're doing.
00:04:30Young boys died at shots than army barracks.
00:04:32It seems like suicide.
00:04:33The army wants us to take a look.
00:04:35We've got the army run its own show.
00:04:39Current climate.
00:04:40We want it all out in the open.
00:04:41Ah, publicity exercise.
00:04:43We treat it like any other investigation.
00:04:51We're gonna get a move on, son.
00:04:52This is a police investigation.
00:05:00There's no reason to come up here other than to jump.
00:05:03Unless he was pushed.
00:05:04No, he never proved that with forensics.
00:05:09Broken neck.
00:05:10Consistent with the fall.
00:05:11No other suspicious signs in the body.
00:05:13Looks like he jumped or fell.
00:05:15What about the angle of the body?
00:05:17Could he have come off the top backwards or forwards?
00:05:20He may have twisted in the air so he can't really tell.
00:05:23Let's get people talking and see if we can put a human face to this guy.
00:05:27I'm sure you're all aware of the delicate nature of this incident.
00:05:30The kind of thing the press would go to town on.
00:05:33We're not here for a whitewash, Major Whishaw.
00:05:35We expect full cooperation plus access to everyone in the camp.
00:05:38You'll find we have nothing to hide.
00:05:40Looks like the young lad killed himself.
00:05:42That'll be for us to decide.
00:05:44I'd like to think we can organise this affair without resorting to petty point scoring.
00:05:48Let me remind you, Major, it was your superior to...
00:05:50Eh, we're just here.
00:05:51You've got jobs.
00:05:52Major, we'll be gone before you know it.
00:05:55Thank you, Inspector.
00:05:56I'll have one of our men escort you.
00:05:57The camp is an omniscience site.
00:05:59Several areas are out of bounds.
00:06:03He was in the mess about five o'clock.
00:06:06Sat with Private Fowler.
00:06:08I never saw him after that.
00:06:09And this morning?
00:06:10I didn't notice.
00:06:12I'm on automatic pilot in the mornings.
00:06:14How well did you know?
00:06:16The two of you are close.
00:06:17Not really.
00:06:18No closer than anyone else.
00:06:20Did you ever go for a beer?
00:06:21Or socialise outside of this place?
00:06:23No.
00:06:25Matheson, he kind of kept to himself.
00:06:30This is his bunk.
00:06:31And this is his locker.
00:06:33Has anything been touched?
00:06:35No.
00:06:36He will totally do it for you guys.
00:06:38And his bed hasn't been slept in?
00:06:39He wasn't in it this morning, no.
00:06:42Jackie.
00:06:44The army have already informed his parents.
00:06:46All right, I suppose.
00:06:48Obsessed with training.
00:06:49A bit boring.
00:06:50Boring?
00:06:52Straight-laced.
00:06:53Not a lot of laughs.
00:06:54So you weren't his girlfriend then?
00:06:57Did he have one?
00:06:59Yeah.
00:07:00We Susie.
00:07:01Susie?
00:07:02His beloved assault rifle.
00:07:32We'd just sat down together, and he just left after we'd finished eating.
00:07:40Did he say where he was going?
00:07:42No, he just said he was going to write some letters.
00:07:44Who'd he?
00:07:45Probably his mum.
00:07:47He wrote home all the time.
00:07:49Was he homesick?
00:07:51Maybe he missed his mum.
00:07:52And you never saw him again?
00:07:53No.
00:07:55Would you say he suffered from depression?
00:07:59I wouldn't know.
00:08:00I don't know if they have cells in Canada, but that.
00:08:03Nobody seems to have seen Matheson after he left the mess at about 6pm yesterday.
00:08:08Do you have any idea where he might have gone?
00:08:10His time was his own after 1600.
00:08:12I never saw the laddie all night.
00:08:14You have a punishment system here for the trainees.
00:08:17We need to have discipline.
00:08:20And was Matheson on the receiving end of that?
00:08:24Look, let's get one thing clear.
00:08:30I have a job to do, which is to turn a bunch of adolescents into fighters.
00:08:35Now, that has to involve discipline.
00:08:38You can't do it any other way.
00:08:40Well, nobody's blaming you, Sergeant.
00:08:42A lot of the kids never make it.
00:08:45They're just no maid of the right stuff.
00:08:47Matheson was one of them.
00:08:49They see the glamorous TV adverts, and they come here looking for the good life.
00:08:53And what do they expect?
00:08:55Ibiza?
00:08:57Exactly.
00:08:58What they don't advertise is,
00:09:00a soldier has to be a special kind of animal.
00:09:04Because,
00:09:06at some point,
00:09:08he'll be faced with killing another human being.
00:09:13That's what I have to make them.
00:09:16And it's nae bloody picnic.
00:09:18So you reckon Matheson couldn't handle the pressure?
00:09:20Sometimes the pressure drives them over the edge.
00:09:26It's a shame,
00:09:27but it harms.
00:09:29Nothing we can do about it.
00:09:31Well,
00:09:31thanks for your honesty, Sergeant.
00:09:37I'm not here to sook up to the army.
00:09:39That's better than getting their backs up.
00:09:41And that's what I do, is it?
00:09:42Well,
00:09:44you're not exactly known for your restraint.
00:09:47So,
00:09:48young boy,
00:09:49in over his head,
00:09:50can't handle the pressure,
00:09:51cracks up,
00:09:52takes his own life.
00:09:53You don't sound convinced.
00:09:54I never like it when things are this easy.
00:09:56One thing that struck me,
00:09:58these laces.
00:09:59What about them?
00:10:01The boy's boot laces.
00:10:02He took them out and cleaned them.
00:10:04And does that not what they teach them here?
00:10:06Well,
00:10:07boots,
00:10:07maybe,
00:10:08but cleaning laces,
00:10:09a bit anal,
00:10:09don't you think?
00:10:10Oh,
00:10:10maybe,
00:10:11but that's the way they're trained to be.
00:10:12So he's saying it's suicide then?
00:10:15No,
00:10:15not yet.
00:10:16You and Jackie go and talk to his parents.
00:10:18You can imagine the state they're in.
00:10:42Yeah,
00:10:42well,
00:10:42just a few questions.
00:10:43We'll be quick.
00:10:44I'd give them a bit more time,
00:10:45you know.
00:10:46You won't get any sense out of them now.
00:10:47And can I ask who you are exactly?
00:10:50Army counselor.
00:10:52I'm a trained psychologist.
00:10:53It's my job to offer families support in times like these.
00:10:56So when would be a good time to speak to them?
00:10:59I'd try again tomorrow.
00:11:17bullet entered from the front.
00:11:29Single shot as far as I can see.
00:11:31Powder residue?
00:11:32None.
00:11:33The bullet came from a distance.
00:11:35It was inside the very burglar air-breaking.
00:11:38Brill cream.
00:11:39Best suit.
00:11:40Looks like he was getting ready for a night out.
00:11:43He was facing the window when he was shot.
00:11:44Seems likely.
00:11:48Directly opposite a multi-storey car park.
00:11:53Is he watching out for somebody?
00:11:55Taxi, maybe?
00:11:56Sir!
00:11:58Through here!
00:11:58Ex-army.
00:12:08Shot was probably fired from this position, sir.
00:12:11Single shot from this distance.
00:12:13Right between the eyes.
00:12:15Professional.
00:12:15Go on, try it, maybe.
00:12:17The cleaner gave Jackie the address of a drinking buddy.
00:12:20Retired army major, Jock Spence.
00:12:22Go with her.
00:12:22Have a word with her.
00:12:25So what did he mark you down on?
00:12:27Would you believe poor judgment?
00:12:30I mean, who's he to judge anybody?
00:12:33Think he's been unfair?
00:12:34The man's a dinosaur.
00:12:36He just doesn't understand the way I get results.
00:12:40No joy with Doherty's army records.
00:12:43Confidential, secure sites.
00:12:45So how do we get it?
00:12:46There's a number we can try.
00:12:48All right, get me a name.
00:12:49Somebody high up.
00:12:50Oh, he did have a taxi booked to take him to an ex-army club.
00:12:54According to them, he was supposed to meet Jock Spence.
00:12:58Dead?
00:12:59Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:13:01What can you tell us about him?
00:13:03Well, this is all a bit of a shock.
00:13:06I mean, how did he...
00:13:07You knew him well.
00:13:08Of course.
00:13:09We met up every week for a pint.
00:13:11Why are the police involved?
00:13:13The death is suspicious.
00:13:16I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say.
00:13:19Allowed?
00:13:20Many things are considered confidential.
00:13:22You understand?
00:13:24You've retired from the army.
00:13:26Five years.
00:13:27So you won't be bound by any army restrictions?
00:13:30It's not as simple as that.
00:13:32I'd have to check.
00:13:33Make some phone calls.
00:13:35Ballistics confirmed that the bullet was shot from a distance,
00:13:37consistent with the scene.
00:13:38The killer was a crack shot.
00:13:40Knew what he was doing.
00:13:41Professional?
00:13:42Possibly.
00:13:42Let's just say well-trained.
00:13:44And the gun?
00:13:45Rifle.
00:13:46S-A-80.
00:13:47Standard army issue.
00:13:48I've been advised not to say anything.
00:13:57By who?
00:13:58A high-ranking officer.
00:14:00Name?
00:14:01Can't say.
00:14:03You realise you're deliberately obstructing your enquiries, don't you?
00:14:06Which is an offence.
00:14:07I'm aware of that, yes.
00:14:09But I'm acting under orders.
00:14:11You're not even in the army.
00:14:14OK, Mr Spence.
00:14:15You've just earned yourself a wee trip.
00:14:22We have two deaths.
00:14:24One a possible suicide, the other a professional hit.
00:14:27Both victims from the army.
00:14:29Doherty was shot with a standard-issue army rifle.
00:14:32Now, I've tried to get hold of his records.
00:14:33The army refused to hand them over.
00:14:35Shutting down on us.
00:14:37Maybe the deaths are unconnected.
00:14:40Well, that's possible.
00:14:41But it would have to be a hell of a coincidence.
00:14:43What about this retired major you brought in?
00:14:45Major James Jock Spence.
00:14:47You think he knows something?
00:14:48Yeah, I'm certain of it.
00:14:49So how did we get him to talk?
00:14:51I think I saw a way in.
00:14:53If my judgement is to be trusted, that is.
00:14:56Right, Jackie, get over to Matheson's parents.
00:14:58See if they've ever heard on Doherty.
00:15:00Take the major to the interview room.
00:15:04Jackie.
00:15:05A minute.
00:15:06I suppose you've heard about Robbie.
00:15:16Yeah, he mentioned something.
00:15:18And I suppose you think I'm being unfair.
00:15:20Well, you have to call it like you see it.
00:15:22Exactly.
00:15:24Do you think you're being unfair?
00:15:25No.
00:15:26No, I think I made an honest judgement.
00:15:28Well, then.
00:15:30Well, you know I always try to be fair.
00:15:32Yeah, of course.
00:15:32Right.
00:15:39So you knew Mr. Doherty well.
00:15:42No comment.
00:15:44You met him for a drink every week.
00:15:47I knew him, yes.
00:15:49Worked with him?
00:15:50No comment.
00:15:52Which means we can assume that you did.
00:15:54Your assumption.
00:15:57What are you afraid of, Jock?
00:15:59Afraid?
00:16:01I can see it in your eyes.
00:16:02Something got you scared.
00:16:05Maybe we can help.
00:16:08I'm not afraid of anything.
00:16:13Let me show you something.
00:16:18Single bullet.
00:16:22Clean hit.
00:16:22Your friend was taken out by a professional.
00:16:33No, I wouldn't want this guy coming after me.
00:16:35We worked together.
00:16:40Me and Jimmy.
00:16:42I was his commanding officer, training new recruits.
00:16:46Jimmy was...
00:16:48Well...
00:16:49He was a hard man.
00:16:52Used to drive the trainees to their limits.
00:16:54I never realised half of what was going on until it was too late.
00:17:00That's the reason we were both offered retirement.
00:17:04The powers were afraid of the...
00:17:07Adverse publicity.
00:17:09So maybe an ex-trainee's bearing a grudge.
00:17:11Maybe.
00:17:13But it could be any one of hundreds.
00:17:15Where was it you and Jimmy worked?
00:17:18Shotston Training Camp.
00:17:21So you reckon Spence thought he was next for the bullet?
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25There was just something about him and I went for it.
00:17:28Just a guess then?
00:17:29More luck than judgement.
00:17:33He was found dead in his room this morning by the cleaner.
00:17:36How'd it happen?
00:17:37We think he was professionally killed.
00:17:39You, uh...
00:17:43You don't seem surprised.
00:17:45That'd happen sometime.
00:17:47I'm just surprised it took so long.
00:17:52He was a hard, ruthless man.
00:17:55Didn't he get out of his way to be liked?
00:17:57Gave the trainees a hard time.
00:17:59Putting it mildly.
00:18:00He thought if he could break somebody,
00:18:02they wouldn't make it as a soldier.
00:18:04And he broke plenty.
00:18:07How do you know this?
00:18:08He trained me.
00:18:11Tried to break me.
00:18:13I came through.
00:18:15Jimmy made me what I am the day.
00:18:18He was a pal of yours.
00:18:20Jimmy never had any pals.
00:18:23And what about enemies?
00:18:24Just about everyone he ever trained.
00:18:30Just pay to Ross.
00:18:33I was just wondering what was happening with Marsden.
00:18:36What do you think?
00:18:38Well, I mean, what you decided?
00:18:39Is it a suicide?
00:18:41Do you get any reason to think anything different?
00:18:44No.
00:18:48It just doesn't make any sense.
00:18:51You don't understand it.
00:18:53We always wanted him to be a soldier.
00:18:55Ever since he was wee.
00:18:56What we want to know is what you lot are going to do about our boy.
00:19:00Show them the letters.
00:19:04Did Alan ever mention feeling depressed?
00:19:08Just look at the letters.
00:19:11There's more than 30 in there.
00:19:19Which one's that?
00:19:21He was running a race.
00:19:23And he won.
00:19:25I was always winning races.
00:19:26He came top at most things.
00:19:28We thought he reckoned he'd pass out his top trainee.
00:19:34That's what we don't understand.
00:19:36You can see for yourselves.
00:19:38Yeah.
00:19:40According to these, he was having the time of his life.
00:19:43Just finished a three-day training exercise in the Hebrides.
00:19:49Hellish weather.
00:19:50But loved every minute of it.
00:19:52He doesn't sound like a depressive.
00:19:54Maybe just put on a brave face for Mammy and Daddy.
00:19:57Maybe he was telling the truth.
00:19:59Need to get a clearer picture of this lad.
00:20:0170am sharp.
00:20:02We're back at the barracks.
00:20:03Where's Robbie?
00:20:10Tried calling him.
00:20:11There was no answer.
00:20:11Why am I no surprise?
00:20:16Okay, that's it.
00:20:18Morning, sir.
00:20:20Yeah, I hope you don't mind me starting without you.
00:20:22Let's just get on with it.
00:20:25Private Lombard here has confirmed that Matheson did well in the races.
00:20:29You never mentioned that the last time.
00:20:31You never asked me about it last time.
00:20:33You described him as an obsessive.
00:20:35He was.
00:20:36He said he'd no friends.
00:20:38He didn't.
00:20:39Some night last night, some of my mates smuggled in a couple of crates.
00:20:44Mates.
00:20:45Well, I can't say what goes on in the male barracks.
00:20:50Yeah, according to your statement, you said he was intense.
00:20:54That's right.
00:20:55What did you mean by that?
00:20:58Just, um, a bit of a loner.
00:21:01Never really knew what was going on with him.
00:21:03Well, he wrote more than 30 letters to his parents, telling them how much he was enjoying his time here.
00:21:09He was a good soldier.
00:21:10Was there anything in particular bothering him?
00:21:14Well, if there was, he didn't say.
00:21:15You told us Matheson couldn't cut it.
00:21:18That was my opinion.
00:21:19And yet he was winning these races and coming out on top most of the time.
00:21:26That's just not true.
00:21:27He's been exaggerating.
00:21:29You must keep some kind of a record here of trainees' progress.
00:21:32We do, but they're confidential for obvious reasons.
00:21:35So where's the harm in letting us see Matheson's report?
00:21:38Strict army policy, I'm sorry.
00:21:39You mean you're shutting down on us?
00:21:41We have nothing to hide.
00:21:43If you've, uh, nothing to hide, sir, then you won't mind me moving in for a few days as an observer.
00:21:49What exactly would that achieve?
00:21:51Well, the motive for the suicide is under question now.
00:21:54Without a motive, we can't sign off on this.
00:21:57Like I say, we have nothing to hide.
00:22:02If we put on a front, you'll get to see nothing.
00:22:05You might get a chance of working on some of the trainees.
00:22:07Listen, you don't have to go prove yourself because of one bad report.
00:22:11Something's going on here.
00:22:12Should we not be trying to find out what it is?
00:22:15I did some digging.
00:22:16I came across some records of official complaints against Doherty.
00:22:20These are newspaper articles from around the time he retired.
00:22:24None of the claims came to anything.
00:22:25But I found the name of four trainees amongst the articles.
00:22:29One of them's dead.
00:22:30One's away on active duty.
00:22:32He's been away for six months, which leaves two unaccounted for.
00:22:35Ex-Privates Tommy Rowan and Sharon McDermott.
00:22:38Very good.
00:22:40Concrete leads.
00:22:41Better than some half-arse stab in the dark.
00:22:44I still think it'd be a good idea to get someone on the inside, boss.
00:22:47On the inside?
00:22:48Robbie wants to play at soldiers.
00:22:50Actually, Robbie wants to catch a killer,
00:22:52which he thought was part of the job description.
00:22:55You do what you want.
00:23:03Is that Sharon McDermott?
00:23:05Hi, this is DC Fraser, Strathclyde Police.
00:23:08I'm just wondering, are you the Sharon McDermott that used to be an army trainee?
00:23:14Someone's a bit phone-shy.
00:23:16Do we have a race?
00:23:17Just what's on the electoral register.
00:23:19What do you expect to find here, Ross?
00:23:41I don't expect to find out why one of your top recruits decided to kill himself.
00:23:45I could save you a lot of bother.
00:23:46The letters he wrote were full of bullshit.
00:23:48That's not easy to have all the answers to everything.
00:23:51So why would he lie?
00:23:52Why would the letters lie?
00:23:54Now listen up, smart arse.
00:23:58Don't fanny about.
00:24:00Because I can see right through you.
00:24:01But I don't like what I see.
00:24:04I'll see it.
00:24:04I'm relying on your cooperation, then.
00:24:13You can sleep here.
00:24:15This was Matheson's bunk.
00:24:21We like to keep things ship-shape here.
00:24:25I'll get one of the trainees to show you how.
00:24:30Oh, you're a bummy.
00:24:35That's what you wear to your dance class.
00:24:42I hope you remembered your hair gel.
00:24:45I'll just check.
00:24:53Her name's Sharon McDermott.
00:24:55McDermott?
00:24:56Ring the bell.
00:24:58Well, the papers ran a story about her.
00:25:01She was complaining about Mr Daugherty.
00:25:03Oh, that's right.
00:25:04We got a lot of that.
00:25:06Kids fail the training, blame anything but themselves.
00:25:09The papers were always keen to encourage them.
00:25:12So there was nothing behind the complaints?
00:25:14The usual thing.
00:25:16It's not fair.
00:25:17I was ill-treated, etc.
00:25:20The Army has its own system for dealing with complaints.
00:25:23Yet they never seem to want to use it.
00:25:26No money in it, you see.
00:25:29Do you remember what Sharon looked like?
00:25:33Like a thousand other trainees, I'd imagine.
00:25:35How would I remember that?
00:25:47Kate said someone would show me how you do these beds.
00:25:49How about you?
00:25:57How about you?
00:25:57So, um, what are you doing here?
00:26:12I just, uh, wanted to find out what sort of things Matheson had to deal with.
00:26:20The coin test.
00:26:21You should be able to, uh, bounce the coin off a bit.
00:26:25Oh, yes.
00:26:26OK.
00:26:37How's that?
00:26:37How's that?
00:26:38Tate on?
00:26:39Stand by, son.
00:26:51Might take it higher.
00:26:58You still using rubber sheets?
00:27:00That's the joke, Fowler.
00:27:03Eh, nothing, Sergeant.
00:27:05Nothing?
00:27:07Give me the duty of folks that laugh at nothing, Fowler.
00:27:09No, Sergeant.
00:27:10They locked them up, Fowler!
00:27:12Yes, Sergeant.
00:27:12Sorry, Sergeant.
00:27:16Listen.
00:27:17It was my fault I made him laugh.
00:27:19Next time you feel like laughing, you just remember that.
00:27:22Yes, Sergeant.
00:27:23Go on with your clean-up.
00:27:33He's a barrel of laughs.
00:27:37Found other ex-trainee, Tommy Rowan.
00:27:40Lives in London, been there for three months.
00:27:42I got the Met to check his alibi.
00:27:44Stands up.
00:27:45Sharon McDermott, she wasn't at home.
00:27:47We're not even sure if she lives there.
00:27:49You talked to the Major?
00:27:51Yeah, he remembers, Sharon.
00:27:52I got the feeling he was being evasive.
00:27:53Maybe he's more involved with Doherty than he's letting on.
00:27:56Yeah, well, if that's the case, it could be a potential tarry.
00:27:59See, I can understand the likes of McDermott having a grievance.
00:28:01But why wait till now for revenge?
00:28:04Maybe she's just finally cracked.
00:28:06Well, try her again anyway.
00:28:09Sir?
00:28:11What's happening with Robbie?
00:28:13Who the hell would I know?
00:28:19Jay, Jay, Jay!
00:28:21Jay!
00:28:22Jay, Jay!
00:28:32Jay, Jay, Jay!
00:28:37Go Palm!
00:28:38Jay, Jay!
00:28:40Jay, Jay, Jay!
00:28:40Pass!
00:28:40Pass!
00:28:41Jay, pass!
00:28:42Pass!
00:28:43Oh.
00:28:44We'll just keep chasing you, Sean.
00:29:11So what do you all do with your time off?
00:29:14Is this an exclusive vow of silence, or can anyone join in?
00:29:22On your feet! Five-mile run!
00:29:26What are you doing?
00:29:28Five-mile run.
00:29:29This doesn't apply to you.
00:29:30If it applies to Matheson, it applies to me.
00:29:33Right. Northwoods! And I'm timing you!
00:29:37Not you, fella. I want to work with you.
00:29:40Tell us what happened to you when you were a trainee.
00:29:48Nothing happened to me.
00:29:50That's not what you told the press.
00:29:51I was young and stupid. Wiser now.
00:29:59So Doherty never ill-treated you?
00:30:02No more than anybody else.
00:30:05Why did you run away?
00:30:07Because I knew what you wanted, and I didn't want to talk about it.
00:30:12How did you know what we wanted?
00:30:14Read about Doherty in the paper.
00:30:17I knew you'd come after me.
00:30:19Sharon, did the army ever train you to use a firearm?
00:30:22I never shot Doherty, if that's what you mean.
00:30:26But you know how to use a rifle.
00:30:27Haven't touched one in five years.
00:30:37So is this a sort of run that Matheson used to win?
00:30:43Come on, folks, you can talk to me.
00:30:46The kid's way back.
00:30:47Why would I want to talk to you?
00:30:49Well, why not?
00:30:51What's it you're scared of?
00:30:53You and those shorts.
00:30:54If you don't, why not?
00:30:56Let's go.
00:30:56Let's go.
00:30:56Let's go.
00:30:56Tamed on the last man in.
00:31:26Unacceptable.
00:31:29Another five miles.
00:31:33Thanks a lot.
00:31:38You want to get them another five miles?
00:31:50What do we get from McDermott?
00:31:52She's still in there. She's not saying much. We think she's scared.
00:31:54Of what?
00:31:56I think she's avoiding what went on when she was a trainee.
00:31:58We'll see about that. Come on.
00:32:04All right, Sharon. Tell us about Doherty.
00:32:07Nothing to tell.
00:32:09We know there is, so let's hear it.
00:32:11If you already know, why do you need me to tell you?
00:32:14Don't piss me around!
00:32:16Now, we can have this done and dusted in ten minutes or we can do it the hard way.
00:32:20What are you gonna do? Beat me up?
00:32:23Is that what Doherty did?
00:32:24You should be in the army. They're all bullies like you.
00:32:27Like Doherty?
00:32:28At least he knew he was a bully.
00:32:30That went well.
00:32:44Give me a search warrant for her place.
00:32:46And check up at Spence.
00:32:48Squad, fall out.
00:33:14Time to the last man in.
00:33:24Better.
00:33:29And get yourself some proper kit, boy. You look a bloody disgrace.
00:33:33That's a mover!
00:33:39We need measures of our ends!
00:33:41Lombard, get your arse down and I won't shoot it!
00:33:44Come on! Shift yourself! Shift yourself!
00:33:50There's a bunch of more in the country!
00:33:52You can't!
00:33:57That's right.
00:33:58You wanna charge you, Alan?
00:34:00Sorry about what happened.
00:34:03Killed in action. I could have lived with that.
00:34:07But suicide?
00:34:08I did everything I could for him.
00:34:11Then what about us?
00:34:13What are you gonna do for us?
00:34:14Tell us what really happened. The truth.
00:34:17It's in the hands of the policemen.
00:34:19What did you do to him?
00:34:21Hey, what did you do to him?
00:34:23Tell me! Tell me!
00:34:25That's enough!
00:34:26Hey! You'll pay for what you did!
00:34:30The lot of you!
00:34:31You hear me?
00:34:32You'll pay for it!
00:34:33We'll have to report this, Sergeant.
00:34:35No.
00:34:36Just leave it.
00:34:37He's entitled.
00:34:39You don't often see a hit woman.
00:34:54Well, male or female, the bullet still goes at the same speed.
00:34:58I mean, she is army trained.
00:34:59Who was the boss saying to you earlier?
00:35:00Not quite sure that I know.
00:35:01Was it about Robbie?
00:35:02I think he's worried that we might think he's being unfair.
00:35:03And is he?
00:35:04Not on purpose, no.
00:35:05Just doesn't like change.
00:35:06Do you think he's trying to keep Robbie where he is?
00:35:07Yeah.
00:35:08Maybe.
00:35:09But we wouldn't like to be the one to tell him.
00:35:11Let's take a wee look around.
00:35:26Stuart?
00:35:27I think there's something over there.
00:35:49Stuart, get down!
00:36:08What is it?
00:36:09I'm not sure.
00:36:19Somebody's been here.
00:36:43Get in.
00:36:48I thought you two were keeping an eye on him.
00:37:06No, it happened in a flash, sir.
00:37:07There was nothing we could do.
00:37:17Same as before.
00:37:18Definitely.
00:37:21Single shot, right between the eyes.
00:37:25What's with the gun?
00:37:26Still fully loaded.
00:37:27Must have been for protection.
00:37:30He was expecting it.
00:37:46All right, Terry.
00:37:47You know, I'm getting sick of talking to myself.
00:37:55I think you lot know much more than you're letting on.
00:37:58I told you everything I know.
00:38:00It's only nothing.
00:38:02I shouldn't even be talking to you.
00:38:03Why?
00:38:04Because Ken told you not to.
00:38:05You got a spare cigarette, mate.
00:38:10How did Ken go on with Matheson?
00:38:19Ken's not exactly keen on smart arses.
00:38:27He was full of himself.
00:38:30Thought it was the bee's knees.
00:38:33Got right up Kent's nose.
00:38:39Shit!
00:38:39It was all right.
00:38:41You're welcome.
00:38:41Oh, God.
00:38:50Must have been aary.
00:38:50It's almost right here.
00:38:53Oh, God.
00:38:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:38:55Oh, God.
00:38:55Come on.
00:38:55It's great.
00:38:56It's been a rush.
00:38:57You, you and I.
00:38:57It were all right.
00:38:57I know what it happened.
00:38:58I thought it was sweet.
00:38:59Yahoo!
00:38:59You and I told you, you take it away.
00:38:59Yeah, it was sweet.
00:39:00Thanks,jcie.
00:39:01Jeez.
00:39:01If you werequez過 undertaking, that's fine.
00:39:01Just horsing away!
00:39:02OK!
00:39:02I don't know.
00:39:32You've taken your life in your hands.
00:39:44I can sit where I like.
00:39:46Can you say what you like?
00:39:47And what do you want to talk about?
00:39:49Matheson.
00:39:51Told you I've been on her.
00:39:53What's the cage?
00:39:56How do you know about that?
00:39:58Someone left me a message.
00:40:02What is it?
00:40:03It's a punishment.
00:40:07Solitary.
00:40:08No one's supposed to know.
00:40:10What about Whishaw?
00:40:12If he does, he's turned a blind eye.
00:40:15Where is it?
00:40:17Clear in the woods.
00:40:21You spend much time there?
00:40:23Some.
00:40:25What about Matheson?
00:40:27A lot.
00:40:27You seem to rub Cain up the wrong way.
00:40:33Could that have fed his depression?
00:40:36I'm going to try it.
00:40:38A little strike of time, days.
00:40:40You start imagining stupid stuff.
00:40:42Start seeing things.
00:40:45Drives you mad.
00:40:46Mad enough to want to kill yourself?
00:40:51Cross my mind a couple of times.
00:40:52Ah, everything's very neat and tidy.
00:41:10Some of that army training must have rubbed off.
00:41:13How long was Sharon McDermott actually in the army?
00:41:15About two years.
00:41:17Well, if she is in possession of a firearm, she's not going to be dumb enough to leave it here.
00:41:20Mm-hmm, exactly.
00:41:34So.

00:48:29come on
00:48:31Come on. Come on.
00:48:50What a twisted bastard filled that up.
00:48:54Somebody's been watching too many war films, eh?
00:48:57It was here when I started.
00:48:59What's the longest you've been in?
00:49:01Three days.
00:49:02Three days?
00:49:04Man, that would kill me.
00:49:06Get used to it.
00:49:08About Matheson. Did he get used to it?
00:49:11Oh, he was an expert.
00:49:13He used to brag about how the cage would never break him.
00:49:15Well, something did.
00:49:17Something took him to the top of that building.
00:49:20Something took him over the edge.
00:49:22And I think you know where that was.
00:49:25I wish I did.
00:49:27Something about Kent, right?
00:49:29We honestly don't know.
00:49:31You have your suspicions.
00:49:34Greg, wait up.
00:49:35I thought you could maybe do with some company.
00:49:38Can't have been easy having to face all that again.
00:49:41Like, you'd know.
00:49:42Sharon, it's okay to talk about it.
00:49:43I thought you could maybe do with some company.
00:50:02It can't have been easy having to face all that again.
00:50:08Like you'd know.
00:50:09Sharon, it's okay to talk about it.
00:50:11Nothing can happen to you now.
00:50:13Can't it?
00:50:14You think all this just goes away?
00:50:16It never leaves you.
00:50:18Everywhere you turn, it's still there.
00:50:20They're still there.
00:50:22They're dead now.
00:50:23They can't touch you.
00:50:24You really have no idea.
00:50:26Yeah, well, I'm trying to understand.
00:50:28No.
00:50:29You're trying to get me to talk.
00:50:31To confess to killing them.
00:50:34I didn't kill them.
00:50:36Do you know who did?
00:50:37We've identified Daugherty and Spence in one of the pictures.
00:50:45But there was someone else.
00:50:48Another man.
00:50:51I'm going for a bath.
00:50:53You can do what you like.
00:50:57It's check number 400160.
00:51:01Just wanted to know if it was paid out to anyone.
00:51:04Sure about that?
00:51:06Okay.
00:51:07Thanks.
00:51:08Major Jock Spence wrote a cheque for £2,000 to Sharon McDermott.
00:51:13She was blackmailing him.
00:51:15Because of the pictures.
00:51:16Probably doing the same thing to Daugherty.
00:51:18Maybe she didn't kill them.
00:51:19You don't put a bullet in your cash source.
00:51:22Let Jackie know.
00:51:27As your instructing, Sergeant,
00:51:30I expect one thing above everything else.
00:51:35Do you know what that is, Collins?
00:51:37Loyalty, Sergeant.
00:51:39Loyalty!
00:51:40Do you know what it means, Collins?
00:51:42Yes, Sergeant.
00:51:43Aye, you see.
00:51:44I'm not so sure you do.
00:51:48Everybody else here understands.
00:51:52Right?
00:51:52Yes, Sergeant.
00:51:55Yeah, Ken, what did he?
00:51:56Sergeant.
00:51:57Do you want to be next?
00:52:01He was only talking to him, Sergeant.
00:52:06You want to take me on?
00:52:10Do you?
00:52:10Right, Lombard.
00:52:16You're first.
00:52:19Go on me your orders.
00:52:20Have you forgotten what to do?
00:52:23Well, here's a wee reminder.
00:52:28Sergeant Kent!
00:52:30What the hell is this?
00:52:32This is the army.
00:52:40Dismissed!
00:52:46Fowler!
00:52:49Where'd me?
00:52:54Come on, son.
00:52:55Are you still here?
00:53:02Well, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
00:53:05We know about the blackmail, Sharon.
00:53:08We have proof that Spence paid you money.
00:53:11I just wanted them to pay for what they did.
00:53:15And keep it out of the courts.
00:53:16Look, I understand.
00:53:18But why wait till now?
00:53:21First, it was like a bad dream.
00:53:23Like it never happened.
00:53:26I didn't have to think about it.
00:53:30Then he found the pictures.
00:53:34Who found the pictures?
00:53:37Alan Matheson.
00:53:39He wanted me to go public with it all.
00:53:42Expose the regime at Shotston.
00:53:46But I couldn't go through the humiliation again.
00:53:49It started out as beatings.
00:53:54That was the culture.
00:53:57I could handle that.
00:54:00But then the bastards just wouldn't stop.
00:54:07Did you kill them, Sharon?
00:54:10No.
00:54:12But I'm glad they're dead.
00:54:14I wish they were all dead.
00:54:18The other man?
00:54:21Who is he?
00:54:23When I tried to blackmail him, he came and found me.
00:54:26Said if he ever heard from me again, he'd kill me.
00:54:31Then Alan Matheson died.
00:54:35I won't testify to any of this.
00:54:41Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:41Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:42Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:43Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:44Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:45Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:46Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:47Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:48Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:49Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:50Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:51Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:52Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:53Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:54Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:55Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:56Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:57Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:58Who is he, Sharon?
00:54:59Who is he, Sharon?
00:55:00Who is he, Sharon?
00:55:01Who is he, Sharon?
00:55:02Who is he, Sharon?
00:55:03Who is he, Sharon?
00:55:04Where's Kent taking Greg?
00:55:23Come on, guys.
00:55:24Any one of you can be next.
00:55:26Will?
00:55:29They sent him on a survival trek.
00:55:31What's that?
00:55:31There's a flag hidden somewhere in the woods.
00:55:35You have to find it and bring it back.
00:55:50But I can't get hold of Robbie.
00:55:52Well, he needs to know that Sergeant Kent probably killed Matheson.
00:56:01That's it.
00:56:11I can't get hold of him.
00:56:13I can't get hold of him.
00:56:15It's a flag hidden in the woods.
00:56:17I can't get hold of him.
00:56:19I can't get hold of him.
00:56:21I can't get hold of him.
00:56:23Get on the phone to Whishaw right now and tell him to let us in or I will drag the entire
00:56:37bloody force out of here. Greg. Fowler.
00:56:43What the hell's going on? Just tell me where to find Inspector Ross.
00:57:06Where would they normally go in these tracks? Could be any number of places. Show us.
00:57:13What the hell's going on?
00:57:43Greg!
00:57:57I'm killing him!
00:58:01What the hell's going on? I have to kill him.
00:58:07Why?
00:58:08Because he made me kill the others.
00:58:09Greg, give me your rifle. You killed Matheson.
00:58:14No!
00:58:16Kent sent us on an exercise. Matheson was to be given a fright.
00:58:20Why give him a fright?
00:58:22Kent said that he'd raped a young female trainee. I was happy to give that bastard a scare.
00:58:28We're all using blanks. But then he fell.
00:58:38After Matheson fell, I called Kent. Told him what had happened. He told me to stay there.
00:58:44What are you going to say for yourself? Just his will. Because you are going to be court-martialed for here the kingdom come.
00:58:51Kent said he'd turn me in.
00:58:53See that I pushed Matheson. He just kept on and on. His death was my fault. My responsibility.
00:59:00And I knew no one would ever believe my word over his.
00:59:05He said he made you kill the others. Think about it. You killed him! Or there might be a way out of this for you.
00:59:26He told me about Docherty and Spence. He was worried that they might speak up about something that had happened here a while ago.
00:59:32He made me take them out. Drop the weapon, Fowler! Drop the weapon or I will kill you!
00:59:41Have you made him do this? You can see us lost it! Drop the bloody weapon! No!
00:59:49You saw him! He meant to kill me! Killing him would have suited you just fine.
01:00:02So what happens now? I don't know.
01:00:05Look, I won't make a fuss. I'll say anything you want.
01:00:08Try nothing! You keep your head down and your mouth shut till I say different, OK?
01:00:12I don't understand.
01:00:14It's your word against Kent, and I want that bastard nailed.
01:00:17Robbie! What happened?
01:00:32We've seen Kent.
01:00:33No!
01:00:36Robbie!
01:00:37Sergeant Kent!
01:00:42We're arresting you for the murders of Alan Matheson, Jim Docherty and Jock Spence.
01:00:47You're not obliged to say anything, but anything you do say will be noted and may be used as evidence. Do you understand the charge?
01:00:52I don't think I can do this.
01:01:05Look, Sharon, this was their idea. They've asked for you.
01:01:09The least you can do is give them a couple of minutes, yeah?
01:01:13You saw him. You saw him try to kill me.
01:01:25You were the one fired the bullet, Sergeant.
01:01:28In self-defence?
01:01:30To shut him up.
01:01:32Why would I need to shut him up?
01:01:35Stop him from turning you in.
01:01:39I haven't killed anybody.
01:01:41Fowler's obviously cracked up.
01:01:44What are you no arresting him for?
01:01:46Tell us about Sharon McDermott.
01:01:49What about her?
01:01:50You threatened to kill her.
01:01:52This is just ridiculous.
01:01:54She'd be dead by now if she didn't have the photos.
01:01:58You haven't got one shred of evidence for any of this.
01:02:02Now, I've tell you.
01:02:04Fowler's the killer.
01:02:07I'm saying nothing else.
01:02:11You could Fowler be the killer.
01:02:15Robbie?
01:02:16Sorry?
01:02:18You're telling me everything here.
01:02:21Sharon McDermott.
01:02:23That's the key.
01:02:24I was taking him when he was five. His first uniform.
01:02:36Look, Mrs. Matheson, I'm really sorry about your loss, but...
01:02:41They took him from us, Sharon.
01:02:44Alan's not here to fight.
01:02:46But you are.
01:02:47You once wanted to be a soldier.
01:02:51Now's your chance.
01:02:59Jackie.
01:03:01I need your help.
01:03:03We have to get Sharon McDermott to testify.
01:03:05Well, it's fine. She's already agreed.
01:03:06Yeah?
01:03:07How do you persuade her?
01:03:09I just rekindled a fight on the spirit.
01:03:12Sharon McDermott's agreed to testify against you.
01:03:16Hard word against mine.
01:03:18Plus some pretty graphic photos of Doherty, Spence, and of course you, Sergeant Kent.
01:03:24That's a very distinctive tattoo you have there.
01:03:32I'll speak to you.
01:03:34Yourself.
01:03:39I'll leave you to it.
01:03:47You haven't told them the real story yet.
01:03:49You turned Fowler into a killer.
01:03:51That's my job.
01:03:54Not when it's for personal gain.
01:03:55That comes to survival in the end.
01:03:57Are you prepared to admit that you forced Fowler into killing Doherty and Spence?
01:04:03I'm proud of what I've made him.
01:04:06You'll need the equalities to survive.
01:04:08You're proud?
01:04:10Taking a kid off the streets and forcing him to do your dirty work?
01:04:15You sad, deluded bully.
01:04:18I'm confessing to everything.
01:04:21The rapes and the murders.
01:04:25But you didn't kill them.
01:04:29I say, I did.
01:04:32Now charge me!
01:04:37You realise the game was up?
01:04:38Confess to everything.
01:04:39Good work.
01:04:40Yeah.
01:04:42Something wrong?
01:04:44No.
01:04:45Nothing.
01:04:48I was wrong.
01:04:51How about your judgement?
01:04:52Your appraisal form?
01:04:53Fill it in yourself.
01:05:06Whatever score you think.
01:05:07Well...
01:05:08Leave it as it is, boss.
01:05:19So when does he leave?
01:05:20Couple of minutes.
01:05:21Where is he now?
01:05:23This time tomorrow, he'll be serving his country in Iraq.
01:05:24This time tomorrow, he'll be serving his country in Iraq.
01:05:25You're not gonna be serving his country in Iraq.
01:05:26To the outside.
01:05:27Yes.
01:05:29In Iraq.
01:05:31If you stop here...
01:05:33and we were leaving.
01:05:34If you were leaving in Iraq...
01:05:36Yes.
01:05:37You need to be in Iraq.
01:05:38Greg.
01:05:59I know.
01:06:01Time to go, son.
01:06:04Greg Fowler.
01:06:05I'm arresting you for the murders of Jim Doherty and Jock Spence.
01:06:09You're not obliged to say anything.
01:06:10Anything you do say will be noted and may be used as evidence.
01:06:14Do you understand the charge?
01:06:24Good luck.
01:06:35Good luck.
