Transcript

00:04You

00:33Momma! Momma! Momma!

00:40Momma!

00:42Momma!

00:57Momma!

00:59As often as that. Well, I suppose we're going to do it.

01:02This is a great place anyway.

01:04Be sure there's no one else around.

01:10Hi, Jamie.

01:12What's his name?

01:13Luke McKendry.

01:15They found him at six this morning.

01:17Alone?

01:18His dad's at the bottom of the quarry.

01:24Sure is the boy's dad?

01:26Andrew McKendry, 35.

01:29Looks like fall from height.

01:31McKendry? Is that a name we know?

01:32Private investigator. Mainly insurance work.

01:36And what about the mother?

01:37According to social services, McKendry's wife died 18 months ago.

01:40Lives with a girlfriend now. Joanne Mars?

01:43Boss.

01:44Do you need me for anything else?

01:46Oh, I'm hell of a sorry, Robbie.

01:47We're keeping you back from something important.

01:49Well, it doesn't take four of us to sign up for suicide.

01:52So did you find a note?

01:54No.

01:54The farmer says this place is notorious for jumpers.

01:57No, you don't take your son out if you're planning to commit suicide.

02:00Who says he planned it?

02:01All right, enough.

02:02We'll know more when pathology gets here.

02:04Social services are taking the boy home.

02:06You two go with him.

02:07Talk to the girlfriend.

02:14You wouldn't have to have a parachute handy, would you sure?

02:36You wouldn't have to have a parachute handy, would you sure?

02:39You weren't home last night?

02:42What?

02:45No.

02:46Night shift.

02:47At the hospital.

02:49When did you last see Andrew?

02:52Yesterday afternoon.

02:53Before I left for work.

02:55How did he see him?

02:57He seemed like Andrew.

03:00Wasn't preoccupied or worried about anything?

03:04Luke's mum died last year, right?

03:08The year before.

03:09Why?

03:11That must have been hard on Andrew.

03:13It was.

03:14Was he depressed?

03:16Struggling to cope?

03:17Andrew isn't suicidal.

03:20Something must have happened to him.

03:22What makes you say that?

03:24Because he'd never leave Luke.

03:26Not like that.

03:29Andrew loves him.

03:31He loves me.

03:45You might try a little sensitivity, Robbie.

03:47It's my job to ask difficult questions.

03:49Yeah, but it's how you ask them.

03:50That's the problem.

03:51We need to get to the truth then.

03:52If she's in denial...

03:53No, she's in shock.

03:54Do you mind?

03:56He's trying to sleep.

03:59I don't care about your job.

04:02He can't know us.

04:03Not from looking at one poxy photograph.

04:05I know Andrew.

04:07He'd never kill himself.

04:10He asked if he was preoccupied with anything.

04:13The job he was working on.

04:16He was looking for that girl.

04:18You wanted to find her?

04:20Her dad.

04:21Alex Sternwood.

04:23As in the mining Sternwoods.

04:33I'm not happy with this resting position.

04:38Well, you don't think he jumped?

04:40Right now?

04:41Can't see.

04:50So what did you mean?

04:51The mining Sternwoods?

04:53The family used to own North Star Mining.

04:56They sold it off in the 70s.

05:02He's not in pain, but you should think about transferring him.

05:05Look, I've told you before.

05:06This is his home and we are not moving him.

05:10Can I help you?

05:12DI Ross, this is DS Reid.

05:14We're looking for Alex Sternwood.

05:16I'll check in tomorrow.

05:20What do the police want with my father?

05:22Well, they'd like to talk to him.

05:26Come this way.

05:29I have a business arrangement with McAndrey.

05:32Why?

05:34We found his body at the bottom of a quarry, about two miles from here.

05:39The Beaumont quarry has a rather dubious reputation.

05:44Yes, well, we're not ruling anything out at the moment.

05:47I'd ask McAndrey to look for my youngest daughter, Stella.

05:51Is she missing?

05:52Not exactly.

05:54She left home about a month ago and we haven't heard from her since.

05:58Stella is a wild child.

06:02A consequence, I think, of losing her mother so young.

06:06And she has a history of running off.

06:10Usually towards trouble.

06:12It's nothing serious, you understand.

06:14It's just high spirits.

06:16She always comes back.

06:17Why call in McAndrey?

06:19I don't have time to wait for Stella to get bored and come home.

06:22I need to see her.

06:25Sounds important.

06:26It is.

06:28Excuse me.

06:32Ross?

06:33Can I just ask, when did you last speak to Mr. McAndrey?

06:36Uh-huh.

06:36He left a message last night.

06:38He said he'd found Stella.

06:40Really?

06:41Jackie?

06:43Excuse me.

06:45I was the boss.

06:46We, um...

06:47We can't rule out the foul play.

06:50Okay.

06:53Do you mind if I listen to that message?

06:55Good boy.

06:59Good boy.

07:00Good boy.

07:01Good boy.

07:04Good boy.

07:05Good boy.

07:06Good boy.

07:06Hey, Eddie.

07:07You looking that up, you jumper?

07:09Mr. Ross?

07:10Stealing a horse?

07:12That's ambitious.

07:13Even for you.

07:14I've given up the robin.

07:15I work for a living now.

07:17What?

07:18As a stable boy?

07:22Eddie!

07:23I'll take care of her, Mr. Lang.

07:26You're nob end.

07:28These people actually let you near the horses.

07:31I've got an infinity with them.

07:34An infinity?

07:35Is that right, Eddie?

07:38Good luck, mate.

07:41Walk on.

07:47Mr. Sternwood.

07:48It's Andrew McHenry.

07:49I've found her.

07:50I've found Stella.

07:53He called around eight.

07:55The house is so big, we often don't hear the phone.

07:58And you didn't call him back?

07:59Dad tried.

08:00No answer.

08:01Are Stella and your dad close?

08:03They mean the world to each other.

08:05Strange, then, that she should run off now.

08:07You know, when he's so ill.

08:11Is he dying?

08:14I think she probably left because she couldn't bear to watch it happen.

08:23Martin, where have you been?

08:25I took Juno out early.

08:26Juno's our horse.

08:27My husband's pride and joy.

08:29The man that Dad hired, he's died.

08:34Police?

08:36I take it he didn't die of natural causes.

08:39Well, we don't know how he died as yet.

08:41Did he find her?

08:42Apparently.

08:43But he didn't live long enough to tell us where.

08:46Can I just ask you both where you were last night?

08:49I was here with Dad.

08:51And you?

08:52At the stables.

08:54And no, there's nobody who can vouch for me.

08:59In descending order of severity, we have...

09:03Shattered cervical vertebrae.

09:06Shattered skull.

09:11Ribcage smashed.

09:15Fractured right tibia.

09:20And left femur.

09:26Sounds to me like that would have killed him.

09:28It would have.

09:29Had he been alive.

09:32Found two puncture wounds.

09:34Just below the left shoulder blade.

09:36The lower one was fatal.

09:38Here's the left side of the heart.

09:40Are we looking for a knife?

09:41Wounds are five inches deep and tapered.

09:44You're looking for some kind of tool.

09:47Skewer, spike, screwdriver.

09:49Take your pick.

09:51Though not a pick.

09:52Obviously.

09:54Someone killed him.

09:56Tried to fake his suicide.

09:59And then abandoned his son in the middle of nowhere.

10:02What's that?

10:13Mr Sternwitz, it's Andrew McHenry.

10:16I've found her.

10:17I've found Stella.

10:19Do we know where he was calling from?

10:20Well, he uses mobile, which we've not found yet.

10:23Morning.

10:24Can the service provider give us a location?

10:26Eh, we're working on it, but it might take a while.

10:28What's this?

10:30That is a picture of Joanne Mars.

10:33I meant, what's she doing in the board, smart arse?

10:36She's part of the inquiry.

10:38Since when?

10:39Since we found out from the hospital that she called in sick on Thursday night.

10:43Oh, come on.

10:44You don't think that she would leave?

10:45We don't think anything, Jackie.

10:46We know she lied to us.

10:48So she's on the board.

10:54That'll be Jackie following up the girlfriend, then.

10:57So McHenry calls the Sternwoods.

10:59They say he's found Stella.

11:00And that was the last call he made.

11:02What do we know about her?

11:03She's got a reputation for being a bit wild.

11:05Expelled from a few poor schools.

11:07Couple of minor drug offences.

11:09Her old man bailed her out.

11:11How did McHenry find her?

11:12Well, probably the same way we just have.

11:14Pulled up her credit card details.

11:16She made a couple of internet buys recently,

11:18and the delivery address is on the south side.

11:20Bring her in.

11:22If McHenry did track her down,

11:23she must have been the last person to have seen him alive.

11:25Well, the first person to see him dead.

11:52Please don't let them take her.

11:54Please don't let them take her.

11:55Please don't let them take her.

11:57Please don't let them take her.

11:57Jimmy, what the hell's going on?

11:59Just let us do our job done.

12:01You're removing him on what grounds?

12:03It's nothing to do with child protection, okay?

12:06The grandparents are insisting in custody.

12:08She's practically his mother.

12:09But not legally.

12:11Look, it's the dead mother's parents.

12:13They've got some serious lawyers,

12:14and they don't want her anywhere near Luke.

12:16Where is that?

12:25Maybe if you talk to the grandparents.

12:27You don't understand.

12:30Andrew's wife died on my ward.

12:32I was a nurse.

12:36Is that how you and Andrew made it?

12:41And her mum and dad didn't approve, I take it?

12:45I was the bitch who seduced their dying daughter's husband.

12:50There's no way I'm keeping their grandchild.

12:56Joanne, I need to ask you why you lied to us yesterday.

13:01We know that you weren't at your work on Thursday night.

13:05You think I killed him?

13:07Threw him off a cliff?

13:09Abandoned Luke?

13:10No, I just need to know where you were.

13:13We had an argument.

13:16You and Andrew?

13:17Before I left for work.

13:20So what did you argue about?

13:23Nothing.

13:24Stupid stuff.

13:26I didn't feel it going in, so...

13:29I stayed at a friend's house.

13:32Why didn't you tell me this yesterday?

13:34I don't know.

13:36I wasn't thinking straight.

13:40Okay, Joanne, I need the name of the friend.

13:48Find anything useful?

13:49Toddler crack.

13:51Raisins.

13:52Found half a pound of them scattered over the backseat.

13:55So what the hell does this tell us?

13:56McHenry wasn't exactly car proud.

13:58Is this all you've got?

13:59Looks like he didn't die at the quarry.

14:01He was killed somewhere else and driven there in his own car.

14:04He was in the boot.

14:05Looks like it.

14:06Forensics found his blood here, along with samples of mud.

14:10Same black mud we found in these.

14:11Do we know where from?

14:13No idea.

14:14They'll analyze it, but don't expect a postcode.

14:17So the killer drove.

14:19You get anything from the front seat?

14:20We're talking about a man whose job involves sitting in his car all day watching people.

14:25He works, eats and sleeps in that seat.

14:27And he wasn't car proud?

14:28The front seat's covered in material.

14:30Could be taking samples for weeks.

14:32Well, you'd better get started then, hadn't you?

14:38Easy out back.

14:40Er, no. No, no, not yet, sir.

14:44Are you sure that's a good idea?

14:59Daddy!

15:01Come over here!

15:04Look at me! Look at me!

15:09Daddy!

15:14Daddy!

15:16I'm over here!

15:22Thank you for coming.

15:24I had no choice.

15:26You called my boss.

15:29The Sternwood name doesn't quite carry the weight it used to,

15:33but it can still carry a few favours.

15:36What can I do for you?

15:37You think Stella is involved with McKendry's murder.

15:43Am I correct?

15:45She's part of our inquiry.

15:49Stella wouldn't hurt anybody.

15:53It's not in her.

15:54We'll question her all the same.

15:57Is something bothering you, Chief Inspector?

16:00I don't much care to be summoned.

16:03And I don't much care for people that can carry favours with my boss, either.

16:08Fair enough.

16:11But my circumstances are such that I can't afford to stand on ceremony.

16:16I need to see my daughter.

16:19Then let's hope she comes home soon.

16:21I need to see my daughter.

16:24I need to see my daughter.

16:26I need to see my daughter.

16:28I need to see my daughter.

16:29I need to see my daughter.

16:30I need to see my daughter.

16:31I need to see my daughter.

16:33I need to see my daughter.

16:34I need to see my daughter.

16:36I need to see my daughter.

16:39I need to see my daughter.

16:42I need to see my daughter.

16:48I need to see my daughter.

16:57Come on, come on, Maria, move it.

17:01Where is she?

17:04Oh, it says he hasn't seen her since she took off.

17:07It says he found the credit card, and get this,

17:10it said she'd be cool about him using it.

17:12What, cool about him ordering a thousand pounds worth of stereo?

17:15It's very understanding of her.

17:16Well, apparently they're close.

17:19Eddie and Stella?

17:19I just can't see Stella with him.

17:22Well, she's been with someone.

17:24Andrew McHendry made two calls last week to Gartforth Hospital.

17:27The private clinic?

17:28Stella was booked in on the day she left home for a termination.

17:32She was pregnant?

17:33She still is. She didn't turn up.

17:36He didn't know.

17:39Have you any idea who the father could be?

17:42No.

17:44I thought you were too close.

17:46We are.

17:50What?

17:52Not good enough for her, is that what you're thinking?

17:54Wouldn't be seen dead with the likes of me?

17:57Nobody's saying that.

17:58Stella's not like the rest of them.

18:02She's down to earth.

18:03A good laugh.

18:06That's how we get along.

18:11You were seeing each other, then?

18:15I wouldn't say that.

18:17We're like mates.

18:18Best mates.

18:20Best mates, and yet, she didn't tell you she was pregnant.

18:24Well, maybe I put a wee bit more into the relationship than she did.

18:28So would you say it was a wee bit one-sided?

18:35She seemed interested.

18:39I thought maybe we'd...

18:42You know.

18:47Maybe she was just more interested in the drugs I could get her.

18:51Oh, so you were her dealer?

18:53Oh, look, calm down.

18:55Party drugs are a bit of dope, some Charlie.

18:58Let's not make out like I'm Pablo Escobar here.

19:00We know that Mr. McKendry traced Stella's credit card.

19:05Did he catch up with you?

19:08Thursday, after work.

19:11Turned up at the flat looking for Stella.

19:13Told him I didn't know where she was.

19:16Then what?

19:19Then nothing.

19:22He left.

19:23He didn't pull you up about a card?

19:26Didn't threaten to tell Stella with the police?

19:28I told you.

19:30He just left.

19:45What do you think?

19:47I think he's in love with Stella.

19:49He's lying about McKendry, right?

19:52Absolutely.

19:53Jackie.

19:54So?

19:54Joanne Maher's alibi called.

19:57And?

19:58Hasn't seen her in a week.

19:59Get her in here.

20:15Joanne?

20:16What's happened, mate?

20:18Overdose.

20:24Joanne?

20:25Joanne?

20:29Joanne?

20:39Joanne?

21:02Well, she came to her senses just after taking her pills and called 999.

21:06What do you think? Guilty conscience.

21:09She's definitely got something to hide. I mean, she's lied.

21:12Twice?

21:13Yeah. Do you want me to go over there and talk to her when she comes, too?

21:17No, I'll let Jackie deal with it.

21:19You planning a wee holiday for yourself?

21:21We still can't find Andrew McKendry's mobile,

21:24but a service provider got back to us about the call he made to the Sternwoods.

21:27Did they give us a location?

21:29You're looking at it.

21:30Well, Alex, shall I? Can they not be more specific?

21:34If the call was made in an urban area with enough mass,

21:37they could trace it to about 50 metres, but as it's rural...

21:40You might as well throw a dart at the map.

21:42I might be able to do better than that.

21:43Someone called his mobile around 5.

21:46McHenry's?

21:47We've managed to trace it to this phone box here.

21:49It's the back of beyond.

21:51The arse end of the back of beyond, more like.

21:53Go and check it out.

21:54OK.

21:55So what's next? Eddie?

21:58Yeah.

21:59I think he knows more than he's letting on.

22:06Someone's got some flowers in here.

22:18Excuse me.

22:20Looking for a Paul Grove.

22:22That's me.

22:25You're the Sternwoods doctor.

22:28I think you sent someone flowers today.

23:09Eddie.

23:10Eddie.

23:11Right, you.

23:12On your feet.

23:14Don't you tell me what that was all about?

23:16That bastard's the father.

23:18Why?

23:20Oliver's tell for months like a bloody sex pest.

23:23You sure about that, Eddie?

23:24I'm sure.

23:27so was McKendry

23:28that's why he came to see me

23:29you told me he'd just asked about Stella

23:32and then left

23:34he wanted information on Stella

23:36and Lang

23:37said if I gave it to him he'd forget about the credit card

24:46that McKendry came to visit you the day he was killed

24:49nothing to tell

24:50he turned up and asked where Stella was

24:51and why he thought I'd know

24:53maybe he found out she's having your baby

24:56I don't know what you're talking about

24:57well Eddie gave you that sore face for nothing did he

25:00nice set up you've got here

25:02money

25:03easy life

25:04all the horses you can eat

25:05you'd lose all that wouldn't you

25:07if McKendry told the family that you were sleeping with Stella

25:12now wait a minute

25:14if you think that I

25:15right now you're the last person to have seen him alive

25:20okay

25:22McKendry asked about Stella

25:24but like I told him it was nothing serious

25:26serious enough for you to get her pregnant

25:28well that was careless I admit

25:31but she agreed it was best if she took care of it

25:34well apparently she didn't take care of it

25:37she's out there somewhere carrying your child

25:39she's out there

25:40she's out there

25:41she's out there

25:44she's out there

25:52she's out there

25:54she's out there

25:55she's out there

25:57she's out there

25:58she's out there

25:59she's out there

26:00she's out there

26:01she's out there

26:02she's out there

26:03she's out there

26:20Fox!

26:21Where are you?

26:22I'm in a phone box, answering my mobile.

26:25Find anything?

26:27There's nothing out here.

26:29Forensics set up the analysis of the mud in McHenry's shoes.

26:32They found traces of carbon and sulphur compounds.

26:35Coal, basically.

26:37Reckon it's local.

26:38We're probably looking at a mining area.

26:40This is Lanarkshire.

26:41It's one big mining area.

26:43Oh well.

26:44It was worth a try.

26:45Alright, you better come back.

26:46Okay.

27:21I think she's going to be okay.

27:24Tell me, did you put Alex Sternwood in touch with Mr McHenry?

27:28She said he needed someone to look for Stella.

27:31Joanne asked me to recommend him.

27:33So your patients usually ask you for help in finding their daughters?

27:36I'm more of a family friend.

27:38My dad was their GP.

27:40When he retired, they used me.

27:44So, have you got any idea where Stella could be?

27:48Could be anywhere.

27:50Law unto herself is Stella.

27:52Poor Alex.

27:54Why?

27:55The old man dotes on her.

27:58Doesn't matter what trouble she causes.

28:00Stella's his favourite.

28:02Poor Fiona more like.

28:04Fiona's never bothered.

28:05She used to have been second.

28:06In a way, she dotes on Stella too.

28:09Did you know that Stella was pregnant?

28:12Sternwood told me.

28:14Her dad knew.

28:16Never seen him so angry.

28:19Okay.

28:21Thanks.

28:45He had no right to tell you that.

28:48Then Stella want to keep the baby.

28:50She didn't know what she wanted.

28:52She thought she was in love with him, for God's sake.

28:56Well, maybe she was.

28:58He's a waster.

29:00Spends all his time with his bloody horses.

29:03Do you think I'd let my daughter be with him?

29:11Shhh.

29:34Black Muds.

29:59Did you tell Mr McKendree about the pregnancy?

30:04his job was to find Stella

30:06so you could force her to have an abortion

30:10so I could tell her I'm sorry

30:18can I have another drink please

30:56I'm sorry

31:11She's gorgeous!

31:16Big smiles, everyone!

31:30Fiona! I'm over here!

31:39Daddy!

31:42Martin, look at me!

31:50Look at me!

31:55Look at me!

31:57Look at me!

32:22Stella Stanwood.

32:23Found this in her. Forensics are already inside.

32:27How the hell did you not look in there?

32:30Herang is mobile.

32:34Atmospheric location, don't you think?

32:36Lovely spot.

32:39Reckon she's been here a couple of weeks, at least.

32:41How did she die?

32:43Can't stay until I get on the slab.

32:45I counted five puncture wounds to the chest.

32:47Same weapon used as McHenry?

32:49Again, can't confirm.

32:50I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

32:51Can we get anything off the corpse?

32:54Decomp's pretty advanced.

32:56Might be able to pull something off the materials just wrapped in there.

32:59Boss.

33:01Looks like the same killer.

33:02Stewart's found the phone.

33:04McHenry's?

33:04Yeah, there's evidence of a struggle.

33:06There's some blood forensics are still processing.

33:07When McHenry said he found Stella, he meant a corpse.

33:13Whoa!

33:40Is he okay?

33:43Without Stella, he might as well be dead.

33:46Did you know?

33:49That my husband got my sister pregnant.

33:51She was planning to give.

33:54The house isn't that big.

33:58Why don't you throw him out?

34:03Because he's my husband.

34:07Phil.

34:12So how did McHenry find her out here?

34:15Stella's killer told him.

34:17McHenry must have been close to discovering the truth.

34:19So he was set up.

34:21A call from the phone box.

34:22Probably telling McHenry when he finds Stella.

34:25Does the killer lose him out here, kills him,

34:27and then fakes his suicide at the quarry?

34:29Yeah.

34:31But not in time to stop him calling the sternwards.

34:34See you at the slab, first thing.

34:38Pretty much as we suspected.

34:40Same wounds as on McHenry.

34:42This time the tack was more frenzied.

34:44Type of weapon?

34:45Don't know yet.

34:45But the material we found turned out to be a coat.

34:50Stella's?

34:51Don't think so.

34:52She was wrapped in this, not wearing it.

34:54Any ID?

34:55Unfortunately, no.

34:57But these are made to measure.

34:58It's a specialist item.

35:00Yeah?

35:00What's special about it?

35:02It's a riding coat.

35:03A man's riding coat.

35:30It's a bike.

35:37A man's riding coat.

35:39What's special about it?

35:39Some is classic.

35:40Some is classic.

35:41One of our top facels.

35:41Oh.

35:42I'm so sorry.

35:44You're speaking to him.

35:45Oh.

35:47Oh.

35:49Oh.

35:52Oh.

35:52Ah, Stella for star.

36:09Anything?

36:10Nothing.

36:24I'm here, sir.

36:32You know what this is?

36:35It's a pritchel.

36:37It's for horseshoes.

36:39Yeah, we know what it's for.

36:40We found it in one of your stables.

36:42You recognise it?

36:44Maybe. We have lots of tools.

36:46Yeah, but this one's special.

36:48This one was used to kill Stella Sternwood and Andrew McHenry.

36:53It's been cleaned, but forensics found blood traces on it.

36:57Can you explain that?

36:59No.

37:01Look, I didn't kill Stella or McHenry.

37:07This riding coat belongs to you, doesn't it?

37:12You don't have to confirm it.

37:14We contacted the outfitters. We know you had it specially made.

37:17I haven't seen that coat in...

37:18What? A month?

37:19Is that because you used it to wrap Stella's body in?

37:22The day Stella disappeared, did you talk to her about the pregnancy?

37:26We had a conversation, yes.

37:29Stella wanted to keep the baby, right?

37:31She was confused.

37:33She wasn't thinking about the consequences.

37:36But you were.

37:37You were thinking about what you had to lose if Fiona and Sternwood found out.

37:41I didn't want to hurt Fiona.

37:43That's very garland of you.

37:46But then Stella threatened to tell her father.

37:48That must have got you worried.

37:50I didn't think it was wise.

37:51I tried to talk her out of it.

37:54And when you couldn't, then what did you do?

37:57I went to the stables.

37:59To see Juno.

38:01Well, you went to see your horse.

38:03When your father-in-law was about to find out that you were sleeping with his favourite daughter.

38:07I figured it would be the last time I saw Juno.

38:09Anybody see you at the stables?

38:11No, I was alone.

38:13So you could sneak off at any time then?

38:15I didn't sneak off anywhere.

38:17Maybe you went after Stella to put an end to the pregnancy once and for all.

38:21Killed her so you could keep on leading the good life.

38:23No.

38:23And then when McHenry found out what was going on, you gave him the message too, didn't you?

38:28No!

38:35Jackie.

38:36You've got a visitor at reception.

38:39Thanks, Stuart.

38:41I married the wrong sister.

38:43Hate it when that happens.

38:46Fiona loves her father.

38:48I'll always be second to him.

38:51Still rolling in the hay with Stella must have taken the edge off things, eh?

38:55It wasn't supposed to get serious.

38:57But it's hard not to fall in love with Stella.

39:00Then why not keep the baby?

39:02Oh, come on.

39:04I mean Stella and I taking care of a baby.

39:07I'm 31 years old. I've never had a job.

39:09I wouldn't even know where to look for one.

39:12As for Stella, she wasn't built to be a mum.

39:16The child wouldn't have stood a chance.

39:19Everything to Stella was a game.

39:21One big party.

39:23Sounds like she'd have made that great, Mum.

39:40Joanne.

39:41Is everything all right?

39:43Yeah.

39:44I just wanted to say thanks.

39:46For what?

39:48Luke's grandparents have agreed to let me see him.

39:51You did that.

39:53Well, social work owed me a favour.

39:56You must think I'm a real bitch.

39:59Cheating on Andrew when-

40:00Joanne, you're not to blame.

40:02You didn't kill him.

40:03I let him down.

40:05I let Luke down.

40:07Nobody thinks that.

40:10Right.

40:11Go home.

40:13Get some proper sleep.

40:15Thanks.

40:17You're welcome.

40:32You get motive, opportunity, no alibi.

40:35But you don't think it's him?

40:36Well, the weapon, why kill two people and not get rid of it?

40:39And why spend money getting a coat made and then roll the sleeves up?

40:43Only two reasons why you roll up your sleeves.

40:46Either you don't want to get them dirty...

40:47Or you want them to fit.

40:48Yeah, somebody's trying to set Lang up.

40:51So who's shorter than Lang, has got access to the stables,

40:53and got a grudge against them?

41:05You'll still be in the stables.

41:07Right.

41:12I'll catch up with you.

41:37I told you.

41:40Without Stella, he just gave up.

41:48He's dead.

41:51Why would I kill Stella?

41:53You loved her. She wasn't interested.

41:55She played you.

41:57Mr. Ross, if I killed every bird that made an arse of me...

41:59You had access to the weapon. Access to Lang's kit.

42:03I'm not the only one that has access to the kit.

42:05You're the one who works for Martin Lang.

42:07No, I don't.

42:10It's not his kit. It's not even his stable.

42:13They don't belong to him, they belong to her.

42:15Who?

42:16I work for Fiona Lang.

42:24At least he never found out the truth.

42:29Why did you do it, Fiona?

42:33She was your sister.

42:35He loved her too much.

42:38Martin.

42:40Dad.

42:42Dad loved her too much.

42:46Stella was going to have that baby and then she would have left.

42:49That would have broken his heart.

42:52I couldn't let that happen.

42:55You killed Stella for him.

42:58I do everything for him.

43:01Everything.

43:02He never notices.

43:05What about McKendry?

43:08That for him too.

43:12He was going to find out and then he would tell Dad and Dad would hate me and...

43:20how could you leave that little boy in the quarry?

43:25Abandoned without a father?

43:27Do you have any idea how he must have felt?

43:30What?

43:36Yes.

43:40Yes, I do.

44:08How did you figure it out?

44:09Female intuition.

44:11Look at it, Jackie.

44:17See you back at the station.

44:19We live in right here.

44:24See ya!

44:24Bye-bye.

44:25Bye-bye.

44:26Bye.

44:30Bye.

44:32Bye.

44:33Bye-bye.
