00:42That's my contribution, and Tommy and Roisin's. Feel free to count it.

00:46I trust you.

00:48What about your share?

00:50I haven't exactly got mine yet.

00:53Now Colin Conner want payment today.

00:54Yeah, well I'm going straight to see a friend now.

00:59What, and they're going to give you over £30,000?

01:01Yeah.

01:02No questions asked?

01:05That's the arrangement.

01:07Nice friends you've got.

01:11Hello?

01:13Just calm down, you're not making any sense.

01:16What?

01:17Right, right.

01:19I'm coming.

01:21What's going on?

01:22Police are at the health centre.

01:24They're taking Mikey into custody.

01:26Now? Why?

01:27I don't know.

01:28I'm going to go to the station.

01:29I'll come with you.

01:30No, no, you take the money to the Brodies.

01:32All of it.

01:33Otherwise it'll be us getting hauled off.

01:39Aren't you finishing this?

01:49Have you spoken to Angus today?

01:52Yeah.

01:53Yeah, well, we've texted.

01:55You've seen Teddy?

01:57Yeah, I'm seeing him this afternoon.

01:59Good.

02:01I do want to see him, you know.

02:03I know.

02:04It's not like I don't love him.

02:06No.

02:07And miss him.

02:09Then isn't there a way that you can work things out with Angus?

02:13Oh.

02:15I can't explain myself.

02:17What, to Angus?

02:19Or to me?

02:20No, to anyone.

02:22Not without sounding insane.

02:24I doubt that.

02:26I mean, even just saying what's on your mind out loud can help.

02:30I mean, it can't be as bad as you think.

02:34It is, Mum.

02:39Like, every time I look at Teddy, I think that I'm going to lose him.

02:50Like, the joy of being his mum is just gone.

02:59And it's just, it's just fear now.

03:02It's like, fear that he's going to die.

03:08He's a happy, healthy child.

03:10Also was Charlotte.

03:12Oh.

03:14Amber.

03:15She was happy and healthy until she got sick and that's how it started.

03:22That won't happen again.

03:23You don't know that.

03:24No one does.

03:26I mean, the odds.

03:28What, so I'm just supposed to treat it like a bet?

03:30No.

03:31Because I won't go through that again, Mum.

03:33I can't.

03:37It seems to me you're still going through it.

03:41I mean, have you ever really processed losing Charlotte?

03:47Think of everything that's happened since to all of us.

03:50When have you had time to heal?

03:54It was a trauma, Amber.

03:56And if you're going to get on with your life and be a mum to Teddy, sweetheart, you're going to

04:03need help.

04:07I don't get how this is going to work.

04:09I've signed up to cover shifts at the hospital.

04:12My nursing licence is still valid.

04:14Okay.

04:15So what are you saying?

04:17Well, Viv was admitted to hospital after the fire, right?

04:20Yeah.

04:21Every patient has to fill in a medical history form on arrival.

04:26And if she doesn't mention having cancer...

04:29Then we've got her.

04:29Oh, that's amazing, Maggie!

04:31Ah, well, provided I'm no cop.

04:33I'll call Alex.

04:34Hold your horses.

04:35Why?

04:36Well, there's no point in him being in Marbella if it's all kicking off here.

04:39This is my first shift back.

04:41I've got to go where they put me.

04:42I cannae just suddenly sit down at a computer and then start accessing records for patients who aren't there.

04:47Well, the sooner the better, then.

04:49It's easy for you to see.

04:51You're not the one taking the risk.

04:52And I really appreciate it.

04:54And I don't want to put more pressure on you.

04:57Are you sure?

04:59It's just, I want Alex home and us ready to take Viv down.

05:04Well, we all want that.

05:07You got a thirst on, have you?

05:09Oh, no.

05:10Just need to talk to Caitlin.

05:12I was going to say the same thing.

05:13What?

05:15Howdy, darling.

05:16Wait, do you see what I've found?

05:18Yeah.

05:19Wait, you'll see.

05:20Must have been when I chucked that hemp out of you.

05:22Well, they were a handful.

05:25Well, what do you think?

05:26Should I wear it when we land in Nashville?

05:28Oh, um, I don't know.

05:32Nah.

05:33Look, it's probably a bit tacky.

05:35Hey, I'll get the real McCoy when we land, eh?

05:37Didn't realise you were a country fan, Caitlin.

05:39Oh, aye.

05:40Shania, Tammy, Dolly.

05:42I mean, who does not love a bit of Dolly in their lives?

05:44She is a legend.

05:45Totally.

05:46I think I've got a denim shirt up this day.

05:49Back in the minute.

05:50Nah.

05:54Maybe I'm misreading the signals,

05:55but something tells me that woman thinks she's gone to Nashville.

05:58Very funny.

05:59What are you going to do?

06:00Well, tell her, obviously.

06:02What are you going to get a move on

06:03before she invests in her rhinestone jumpsuit?

06:05That's what I'm here for.

06:06What are you waiting for?

06:08Just, just picking them a moment.

06:10Well, good luck with that, partner.

06:15Oh, dear.

06:25Your better half home?

06:27No, she's going to meet with Amber.

06:28I hope they didn't go on my account.

06:31Lydia doesn't need an excuse to avoid me lately.

06:35What's wrong?

06:36Never mind that.

06:37You've got enough in your place, it is.

06:39Aye, and more.

06:40The police, they've picked up Mikey again.

06:45You know, the rest of your day

06:46might not go exactly as planned, either.

06:49What do you mean?

06:51Have you not got the money?

06:52Oh, I've got the money.

06:54Well, I don't understand.

06:58You ever know me to splash cash

07:00when I've no clue where it's going?

07:03No.

07:03Well, it's different now.

07:04You think I'm a soft touch in my old age?

07:07I'd never think that.

07:08Come on, Lenny, I'd pay you back to me.

07:09See, the thing is,

07:10if I know what the score is,

07:11I won't be worrying about reimbursement.

07:14Let me put it this way, Mick.

07:16You stay stooped,

07:17you don't get a penny.

07:21I'll get the doctor on to see you as soon as you can.

07:23Okay, thank you.

08:00Fancy seeing you here.

08:01What?

08:01Well, I didn't mean to scare you.

08:03Oh, no, you didn't.

08:05I'm fine.

08:08What do you need?

08:09Stitches.

08:10Have you seen the triage nurse?

08:12Aye, she said I needed stitches and sent us through.

08:15You're an actual nurse, right?

08:17Of course she is.

08:19Will you do something a bit jumpy, Maggie?

08:20Oh, I was just in the middle of something, that's all.

08:24Right.

08:25Let's get you sorted.

08:26Cheers, Maggie.

08:29Just do my job.

08:31Who's the parents for killing a guy these days?

08:34To her father's the Hail Mary.

08:36Trying to be funny?

08:37I'm trying to figure out

08:38why you didn't come to me in the first place.

08:40You weren't that long out of hospital.

08:42Oh, right, so you thought it was Dool Alley.

08:44I didn't want to burden you with my problems.

08:47Yeah, here we are.

08:49Nicole Brodie.

08:51Blackmailing you.

08:52Who?

08:53Her.

08:54And her brother, aye.

08:57Not exactly the craze, is it?

08:59Like the crankies.

09:02Well, they've got me over a barrel.

09:06You pay Nicole sooner or later she's going to be back for more.

09:10What you need is to find something to shut her mouth permanently.

09:15You don't mean...

09:17Oh, ye of little faith.

09:20You know how some guys keep a kitchen drawer

09:22or a wee shelf in their garage

09:24for stuff they think might come in handy?

09:27I don't get you.

09:28Like an old plug.

09:29Or a bit of wood for stern pain.

09:32Yeah.

09:35Well, I kept this.

09:40So did you find out?

09:42They won't talk to me.

09:42They won't even let me see Mikey.

09:44Just take a breath.

09:45Calm down.

09:46I'll tell you what I know.

09:47Right, yes.

09:48He'll come, come out.

09:50Aye.

09:50You know there was a report of Jonathan being spotted in Perth.

09:53Yeah.

09:54It turns out that wasn't right.

09:56Might even have been a decoy.

09:58Someone trying to leave a false trail.

10:00I don't think Mikey could do something so devious, surely.

10:03Either way, the investigation's refocused on Glasgow now.

10:06What does that mean for him?

10:09He'll be considered the person of interest

10:11until Kirk knows what happened to Jonathan.

10:12He didn't do anything wrong.

10:14It's procedure.

10:15He questioned you again, too.

10:18Me?

10:19But they've already questioned me.

10:20It's just belt and braces stuff.

10:23Aye.

10:23Nothing to worry about.

10:25All you've got to do is tell the truth.

10:30Yeah.

10:34You'll appreciate we have to be thorough

10:36when it comes to such a serious crime.

10:38I do.

10:40And I don't have a problem with that.

10:41I want you to find out what happened more than anything.

10:43You do?

10:45100%.

10:47That's reassuring to hear.

10:49Means we can pursue every line of questioning.

10:52Fine, but I thought you already had.

10:54New information has come to light.

10:57New evidence.

10:59Oh, that's good, isn't it?

11:02We hope so.

11:03Yeah.

11:05The main reason I've decided to make this a formal interview here at the station

11:10is the nature of the questions I need to ask.

11:15Fire away.

11:16We need to discuss yours and Jonathan's sex life.

11:22Well, what about it?

11:28Cheers, Maggie.

11:30You sure you're all right?

11:31I told you to stop bringing it up.

11:35Right, I'll get you some painkillers and that's it.

11:38Thanks.

11:39See if you can get something for Dean's dizzy spells, too.

11:41I'm just not keen on the sight of blood.

11:43I don't think there'll be any lasting damage,

11:45but I'd let someone else slice the rolls at the oyster

11:47for the next couple of days.

11:49Gotcha.

11:50Is that you back working here full-time now?

11:52No, no.

11:53I'm just here to cover shifts when I'm needed.

11:55Well, we're lucky to get you.

11:57Right, have a wee seat and I'll get the doctor

11:59to make up your prescription as soon as I can.

12:28I don't know.

12:35Maggie!

12:36You dropped something?

12:41So what's the situation now?

12:44I don't know.

12:45Well, you're going to have to figure it out.

12:48This is going to be done to you if it's...

12:50Aye, so it's not just a coffee then?

12:51You've come round to impart some wisdom?

12:53I've came round because I know it's no easy

12:55being on your aim when your head's spinning.

12:57Sitting stern at the same floor was.

12:58Right, okay.

13:01It's just...

13:04Being a dad...

13:06Having a family, it's...

13:10It's all I've ever wanted.

13:12A dream come true.

13:13Aye.

13:14And now you've got reality to deal with?

13:17I'm not daft, Bob.

13:19I get that life's...

13:21Complicated and messy and all that.

13:24Folk have history.

13:29I mean...

13:31Amber's had a Wayne who died.

13:35Aye.

13:37And I think being a mum's brought that to the surface for her.

13:42We've never, ever spoken about Charlotte, no, really.

13:45Well, maybe you should.

13:46And I'm like...

13:48Like, yes, a baby and...

13:50For Amber, it's like...

13:52Reliving the worst thing that ever happened to her.

13:54Aye.

13:54Don't beat yourself up, though.

13:56No?

13:56No.

13:58Just reach out to her.

14:00See if she's ready to talk about it.

14:01See if that's what's making this so hard.

14:06Aye.

14:06I will.

14:07You'll get there, mate.

14:12Hey, what's the weather going to be like?

14:15I'm not sure.

14:16Do you think I need to get a new bikini?

14:17I doubt it.

14:18What about sunscreen?

14:20Don't worry about the sun.

14:20Aye, well, you wouldn't be saying that

14:21if you had my alabaster complexion, would you?

14:24Wait, two minutes.

14:26UV levels.

14:27Nashville, Tennessee.

14:29How far's Memphis?

14:30Could we go to Graceland and all?

14:31No.

14:32How no?

14:32We're not going anywhere.

14:34I am.

14:35What?

14:38Look, I think it was a mistake us getting back together.

14:44Do you, aye?

14:45I'm sorry, Cailin.

14:48Is there somebody else?

14:49Is that it?

14:50No.

14:51Well, you don't sound too sure.

14:54In fact, you've been spending a lot of time with Scarlet.

14:57Scarlet?

14:58Are you serious?

14:59Aye, it sounds like a joke, doesn't it?

15:01Playing away with the likes of her when you could have me.

15:03I'm not playing away.

15:03Well, what's the attraction?

15:05First dibs and the out-of-date stuff of the one-stop shop?

15:08Because I'm mystified what anyone else could see in her.

15:10Don't!

15:11Talk about her like that.

15:13Defending your lady's honour, are you?

15:14I don't need to listen to this.

15:16Aye, run away!

15:17That's you all over!

15:23I must have been half-man up to get back with you.

15:25Well, that makes two of us, then.

15:26Oh, finally, he's grown a backbone.

15:28Give the man a round of applause.

15:29Will you stop making a show of yourself?

15:30I've got nothing to be ashamed of.

15:32Neither have I.

15:33What can I get for you, Scarlet?

15:35Erm, I'm sucking my baby.

15:37Right, well, darling, thanks.

15:38Oh, here she is.

15:40Scarlet by name, scarlet by nature.

15:43What you on about?

15:44What's she on about?

15:45Don't come be innocent with me, you floisy.

15:47You want to watch what you're saying?

15:48You're going to make me eye.

15:49Right, enough.

15:50Pack it in.

15:51Maybe he's having a square go in the middle of the pub.

15:53Aye, we will be if she doesn't shut it.

15:55Seriously, please, can we just go back to the flat?

15:57Oh, wee bit of afternoon delight, is it?

16:00Err!

16:02What's she talking about?

16:03Not here.

16:05At home, you'll be very happy together.

16:22Drop something.

16:23It's all right, we're not going to dob you in.

16:25What?

16:26Patient confidentiality is a big deal.

16:28I don't know what you mean.

16:30It's getting on.

16:33This fell out of your pocket, that's all.

16:35Oh, right.

16:36Thanks.

16:36Must be stressful.

16:38First day back.

16:39No, I can handle it.

16:42Thanks for this.

16:43Thanks for patching me up.

16:44All part of the service.

16:45You should get yourself home.

16:47Get your feet up.

16:48Cheers, Maggie.

16:57Thanks.

17:00Tough day, eh?

17:03It really was.

17:05They find new ways of burrowing into your head.

17:08What do you mean?

17:11I don't want to relive the whole thing.

17:13No, I know, but you're among friends now.

17:16We might be able to help.

17:17Oh, you think so?

17:19You think if I spill about the most intimate details of my life,

17:22you're going to make me feel better with a click of your fingers?

17:24Sorry.

17:26No, I am.

17:30It was just really awful in there.

17:32Look.

17:34Look, I feel for you, Mikey.

17:35Honestly, I do.

17:38Kirk wanted to know if we were into anything kinky.

17:45What?

17:46Going on about asphyxiation.

17:48Why would she ask that now?

17:50My lawyer said that the pathologist report had that as cause of death.

17:55But that's not how he died.

17:57How do you know?

17:58Well, no, I don't.

17:59I mean, I don't.

18:00But you said that he died from a blow to the head.

18:03Kirk did mention that,

18:04but that was before they had the full autopsy report.

18:07And now they're saying he was asphyxated.

18:10Yeah.

18:11You're absolutely sure?

18:13Of course I am.

18:15I was the one being grilled about it in a room with a big light on.

18:18Sorry, sorry.

18:20So, he was hit.

18:24He was stabbed.

18:26And now they're saying that he was suffocated.

18:29Why would somebody do all those things to one person?

18:35To me, it's looking more and more premeditated.

18:40Whoever was responsible for this,

18:43they made damn sure he was dead.

18:54Afternoon.

18:56And there, is it?

18:57Depends.

18:58Have you brought the money?

18:59What if I want to renegotiate terms?

19:03We get the cash, you get the evidence.

19:06Well, I'm afraid it's not going to work out that way.

19:11It's going to work out exactly that way.

19:13Look, I still want to buy your silence,

19:16but not for money.

19:18You see, I've got some evidence of my own.

19:22What of?

19:22Nothing.

19:23He's bluffing.

19:29I'll act like we're totally locked up.

19:32Give him a glass of his.

19:33Spiked.

19:34It's too risky.

19:35Do you think I want to kill Taryn?

19:37It's him or me, Tyler.

19:38Turn it off.

19:39Can you do it, though?

19:40This is the only way to get him out of our lives forever.

19:44I said turn it off.

19:46Where did you get that?

19:48Turns out I've got a guardian angel on my shoulder.

19:52Lenny Murdoch.

19:53You killed someone.

19:54Connor.

19:55Look, I can see you kids have got a lot to talk about.

19:58That doesn't prove anything.

20:01Maybe.

20:03But I'll still be calling Harry folks and playing him a recording

20:07where you at least admit to planning the death of his beloved son.

20:14Unless I walk out of here without begging.

20:38Sorry I'm a bit late.

20:41It's okay.

20:46Teddy's just having a nap, so...

20:49Oh, the doorbell didn't wake him.

20:52It's fine.

20:55You could have used your own key.

20:57Okay.

21:00Just didn't want to take anything for granted, so...

21:03No.

21:05I, um...

21:06I went on a really long walk today.

21:09With mum.

21:11Oh.

21:12I've decided that, um...

21:15I think I'm going to start seeing someone.

21:18Right.

21:22To...

21:23To talk about Charlotte?

21:27Yeah.

21:31Well, I think that sounds like a good idea.

21:34But it might make me less of an emotional wreck all the time.

21:38Oh, come on.

21:39That's not you.

21:40Isn't it?

21:42Maybe.

21:46I know I have to change.

21:48Change how?

21:51I just...

21:52I just...

21:54I just need to stop catastrophizing everything all the time.

21:59That would...

22:00Probably make all our lives a bit easier.

22:03I know.

22:06The boosters.

22:07I'm...

22:08All of that.

22:09I'm...

22:09I'm so sorry.

22:11Yeah?

22:12Genuinely.

22:13I'm so sorry.

22:15Okay.

22:18Good.

22:18I'm glad.

22:20I mean...

22:24Apology accepted.

22:31And, um...

22:32I know it's not going to be easy, but if we can...

22:36Be a family...

22:38We already are.

22:41Yeah.

22:42Yeah.

22:43You're Teddy's mum, I'm his dad.

22:46If we're together or not, that doesn't change.

22:51Yeah, but I really want us to be together.

22:57Me too.

23:01Look, even if it's difficult for a while, until I get my head sorted, because...

23:07Amber...

23:07Mm.

23:10We're going to handle this.

23:13Okay?

23:13The three of us.

23:17Can I, um...

23:18Can I go and see him?

23:19I just...

23:20I want to see his wee face.

23:22Is that okay?

23:24Yeah.

23:29And, um...

23:30Is this okay?

23:40Definitely.

23:47Oh!

23:48Maggie!

23:50Can I get you a juice or something?

23:52No.

23:53Are you sure?

23:54Positive?

23:55Fine.

23:56Fine.

23:57An orange juice and a white wine when you're ready, thanks.

24:02So, did you get it?

24:04I got it.

24:05Then why do you look so down?

24:07Because I've had a bit of a nerve-wracking day, actually.

24:10Sorry.

24:11Sorry.

24:13And, well, definitely proves that she's been lying about the cancer.

24:17No underlying conditions.

24:19No medication.

24:22Sign and dated.

24:23Oh!

24:25It's amazing!

24:27I'll phone Alex.

24:29Have you been in public?

24:31Oh, right.

24:31I'm sorry.

24:33I'm just anxious to get him home and get this done.

24:37We've got her.

24:42Should we do it and a cup of tea?

24:45No, I'm fine, thanks.

24:48Something to eat?

24:49Scarlett, will you stop?

24:51I'm, look, I'm sorry, but we need to talk, obviously.

24:56I wouldn't worry about it.

24:58No?

25:00Oh.

25:01All that business with Caitlin, she'll get over it and come to your senses.

25:05You think so?

25:07Aye.

25:09As if there's anything going on between you and me.

25:16Do you think there could be?

25:18Ever?

25:21Us?

25:24Aye.

25:27You and me?

25:28Me and you.

25:31Look, I know nothing's happened, but sometimes I get a wee spark kind of thing.

25:42Spark?

25:49I have feelings for you, Scarlett.

25:54I don't know what to say.

25:59I'll...

26:01Okay.

26:03Okay.

26:04I'll go.

26:06Wait.

26:06What, I made you feel uncomfortable?

26:08No.

26:08What, you don't feel the same?

26:10No, I didn't say that.

26:10Go on and sit down and give me a minute here.

26:13Please.

26:17I wasn't...

26:20I didn't realise that you were...

26:25interested in me.

26:28That way.

26:31It's a lot to process.

26:39Maybe it is, isn't it?

26:42Maybe it's simple.

26:45You think?

26:48Maybe you should just kiss me and see what happens.

26:52I like that idea.

27:14Where does Mikey make you of this?

27:16He's rattled.

27:18I'm more surprised.

27:19If he died of asphyxiation, then why are we paying a fortune to get back that fire extinguisher?

27:27It's not the murder weapon.

27:28And we didn't kill him.

27:31And you're sure?

27:33I don't need to be.

27:34The police are.

27:35So if he was alive when we left him with Mulvaney, that means Mulvaney did it.

27:41Surely not.

27:42It's only possibility.

27:43And I'll tell you something else.

27:46That wasn't two frightened women panicking in the heat at the moment.

27:51It was called blooded murder.

28:01I'm a bit gutted that we've just tell one another about our feelings and you're going away.

28:05Come with me.

28:05I don't want to say yes, but I think it might be too soon.

28:08Too frightened it is.

28:09The police clearly think I've got something to do with Jonathan's death.

28:12They close in, try and trip me up until they can find something.

28:15Mikey, just stop.

28:16Any particular reason you didn't tell me you started working at A&E?

28:20I take it you've been to the oyster this morning then, eh?

28:22I was working.

28:22What, cleaning?

28:23No, as an os.

28:24Tell me what the hell's going on.

28:52I am.

28:53I was working.

28:54I am.

28:56I am.
