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?
01:02Yeah.
01:02No questions asked?
01:06That's the arrangement.
01:07Nice friends, you've got.
01:11Hello?
01:14Just 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.
01:25Now?
01:26Why?
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've seen 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?
02:14Oh.
02:15I can't explain myself.
02:17What, to Angus?
02:19Or to me?
02:20Oh, 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 with 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.
03:34I can't.
03:37It seems to me you're still going through it.
03:41I mean, have you ever really processed losing Charlotte?
03:46Think 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.
04:40This 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.
04:48Well, the sooner the better, then.
04:49It's easy for you to say you'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.
05:11Just need to talk to Caitlin.
05:12I was going to say the same thing.
05:13What?
05:15Howdy, darling.
05:17Wait till you see what I've found.
05:18Yeah.
05:19Wait, you'll see.
05:20Must have been when I chucked that hemper to you.
05:22Well, they were a handful.
05:25Well, what do you think?
05:26Should I wear it when we land in Nashville?
05:29Oh, um...
05:31I don't know.
05:32Nah?
05:33Look, it's probably a bit tacky.
05:35Aye, 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.
05:44Totally.
05:46I think I've got a denim shirt up this day.
05:49Back in a minute.
05:50Nah.
05:54Maybe I'm misreading the signals,
05:56but something tells me that woman thinks she's going to Nashville.
05:59Very funny.
05:59What are you going to do?
06:01Well, 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...
06:08Just picking my moment.
06:10Well, good luck with that, partner.
06:26You're better half home?
06:27No, she's going to meet with Amber.
06:28I hope they didn't go in 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.
07:03It's different now.
07:04You think I'm a soft touch in my old age?
07:06Oh, I'd never think that.
07:08Come on, Lenny,
07:08I'd pick you back with me.
07:09See, the thing is,
07:10if I know what the score is,
07:12I won't be worrying about reimbursement.
07:14Let me put it this way, Mick.
07:16You stay stum,
07:17you don't get a penny.
07:21I'll get the doctor along
07:22to see you as soon as you can.
07:23Okay, thank you.
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.
08:06Eh, eh,
08:08what do you need?
08:09Stitches.
08:10Oh, have you seen the triage nurse?
08:12Aye, she said I needed stitches
08:13and sent us through.
08:14Oh.
08:15You're an actual nurse, right?
08:17Of course she is.
08:19Will you do some a bit jumpy, Maggie?
08:20Oh, I was just, eh,
08:21in 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
08:32for 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
08:39in the first place.
08:40You weren't that long
08:41out of hospital.
08:42Oh, right, so you thought
08:43it was Dool Alley.
08:44I didn't want to burden you
08:46with my problems.
08:47Yeah, here we are.
08:49Nicole Brodie.
08:51Blackmailing you.
08:53Her.
08:54And her brother, aye.
08:57Not exactly the craze, is it?
08:59Not like the crankies.
09:00Well.
09:02They've got me over a barrel.
09:06You pay Nicole sooner or later
09:08she's going to be back for more.
09:10What you need
09:11is to find something
09:12to shut her mouth permanently.
09:16You don't mean...
09:17Oh, ye of little faith.
09:20You know how some guys
09:21keep a kitchen drawer
09:23or a wee shelf in their garage
09:24for stuff they think
09:25might come in handy?
09:27I don't get you.
09:28Like an old plug
09:29or a bit of wood
09:30for stern pain.
09:32Yeah.
09:35Well, I kept this.
09:40So what did you find out?
09:42They won't talk to me.
09:43They won't even let me see, Mikey.
09:44Right, just take a breath.
09:45Calm down.
09:46I'll tell you what I know.
09:47Right, yes.
09:48Okay, I'm calm now.
09:50Aye.
09:50You know there was a report
09:52of Jonathan being spotted in Perth.
09:53Yeah.
09:54Turns out that was not right.
09:56Might even have been a decoy.
09:58Someone try to leave
09:59a false trail.
10:00I don't think Mikey
10:01could do something
10:02so devious, surely.
10:04Either way,
10:04the investigation's refocused
10:06on Glasgow now.
10:06What does that mean for him?
10:09He'll be considered
10:10the person of interest
10:11until Kirk knows
10:11what happened to Jonathan.
10:12I didn't do anything wrong.
10:14It's procedure.
10:15I didn't question you again, too.
10:18Me?
10:19But they've already questioned me.
10:20It's just belt and braces stuff.
10:23Right?
10:23Nothing to worry about.
10:25All you've got to do
10:26is tell the truth.
10:30Yeah.
10:34You'll appreciate
10:35we have to be thorough
10:36when it comes to
10:37such a serious crime.
10:38I do.
10:40And I don't have a problem with that.
10:41I want to find out
10:42what happened
10:42more than anything.
10:43You do?
10:44A hundred percent.
10:47That's reassuring to hear.
10:49Means we can pursue
10:50every line of questioning.
10:52Fine, but
10:52I thought you already had.
10:55New information
10:55has come to light.
10:57New evidence.
11:00Oh, that's good, isn't it?
11:02We hope so.
11:03Yeah.
11:05The main reason
11:06I've decided
11:07to make this
11:08a formal interview
11:09here at the station
11:10is the nature
11:11of the questions
11:12I need to ask.
11:15Fire away.
11:16We need to discuss
11:17yours and Jonathan's
11:18sex life.
11:22Oh.
11:24What about it?
11:28Cheers, Maggie.
11:30You sure you're all right?
11:31I told you to stop
11:32bringing it up.
11:35Right, I'll get you
11:36some painkillers
11:37and that's it.
11:38Thanks.
11:39See if you can get
11:39something for Dean's
11:40dizzy spells, Tay.
11:41I'm just not keen
11:42on the sight of blood.
11:43I don't think there'll be
11:44any lasting damage
11:45but I'd let someone else
11:46slice the rolls
11:47at the oyster
11:48for the next couple of days.
11:49Gotcha.
11:50Is that you back
11:51working here full time now?
11:52No, no.
11:53I'm just here to
11:54cover shifts
11:55when I'm needed.
11:55Well, we're lucky
11:56to get you.
11:57Right, have a wee seat
11:58and I'll get the doctor
11:59to make up your prescription
12:00as soon as I can.
12:15And that's why we're
12:16Yeah, I know.
12:17I mean,
12:19I mean,
12:19I've got a little
12:20I'm sorry.
12:20I mean,
12:20Ah!
12:26I can't wait.
12:28I can't wait.
12:29I can't wait.
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 to fix.
12:50So it's not just a coffee then?
12:52You've come round to impart some wisdom?
12:53I've come round because I know it's no easy being on your aim when your head's spinning.
12:57Sitting and staring at the same floor was.
12:58Right, okay.
13:01It's just, being a dad, having a family, it'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 complicated and messy and all that.
13:24Folk have history.
13:29I mean, Amber's had a ween who died.
13:35Aye.
13:37And I think being a mum's brought all 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, yes, a baby.
13:49Waiting for Amber, it's like reliving the worst thing that ever happened to her.
13:54Aye, don'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, I will.
14:08You'll get there, mate.
14:13Hey, 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.
14:21Aye, well, you wouldn't be saying that if 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?
14:32No.
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, Cailan.
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.
15:04Well, 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.
15:25That makes two of us, then.
15:26Oh, finally he's grown a backbone.
15:28Give the man around the 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?
15:35Um, I'm just looking maybe.
15:37Right well, darling, thanks.
15:39Oh, here she is.
15:40Scarlet by name, Scarlet by nature.
15:43What are you on about?
15:44What's she on about?
15:45Don't come be innocent with me, you floezy.
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.
15:55Can we just go back to the flat?
15:57Oh, a wee bit of afternoon delight, is it?
16:00Eurgh!
16:02What's she talking about?
16:03Not here.
16:05I hope you'll be very happy together.
16:22Drop something.
16:24It's all right.
16:24We're not going to dob you in.
16:25What?
16:26Patient confidentiality is a big deal.
16:28I don't know what you mean.
16:31Kiddin' on.
16:33This fell out 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.
16:54Here.
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.
17:14But 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 the click of your fingers?
17:24Sorry.
17:26No, I am.
17:30It was just really awful in there.
17:32Oh, God.
17:34Look, I feel for you, Mikey.
17:35Honestly, I do.
17:38Kirk wanted to know if we were into anything...
17:43kinky.
17:46What?
17:46Going on about asphyxiation.
17:49Why would she ask that now?
17:50My lawyer said that the pathologist's 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.
18:13I was the one being grilled about it in a room with a big light on.
18:18Sorry, sorry.
18:21So, 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 spiked.
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 Foulkes
20:06and playing him a recording
20:07where you at least admit
20:09to planning the death
20:10of his beloved son.
20:13Unless
20:15I walk out of here without bagging.
20:38Sorry, I'm a bit late.
20:42It's okay.
20:46Teddy's just having a nap, so.
20:50Oh, the doorbell didn't wake him.
20:52It's fine.
20:55You could have used your own key.
20:58Okay.
21:00Just didn't want to take anything for granted, so.
21:03No.
21:06I, um...
21:07I, um...
21:07I went on a really long walk today
21:09with Mum.
21:11Oh.
21:12But I've decided that, um...
21:14I think I'm going to start seeing someone.
21:18Right.
21:22To...
21:24To talk about Charlotte?
21:28Yeah.
21:31Well, I think that sounds like a good idea.
21:34But it might make me
21:35less 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 need to
21:54stop catastrophizing everything
21:56all the time.
21:59That would...
22:00probably make all our lives
22:02a bit easier.
22:03I know.
22:06The boosts, I'm...
22:08All of that, I'm...
22:09I'm so sorry.
22:11Yeah?
22:12Genuinely.
22:15Okay.
22:18Good.
22:19I'm glad.
22:20I mean...
22:24Apology accepted.
22:31And, um...
22:32I know it's not going to be easy,
22:34but if we can...
22:36be a family...
22:38We already are.
22:41Yeah?
22:42Yeah.
22:43You're Teddy's mum,
22:44I'm his dad.
22:46If we're together or not,
22:48that doesn't change.
22:51Yeah, but I really want us
22:53to be together.
22:57Me too.
23:01Look, even if it's difficult for a while,
23:04until I get my head sorted,
23:06because...
23:07Amber...
23:11we're going to handle this.
23:13Okay?
23:14The three of us.
23:17Can I, um...
23:19Can I go and see him?
23:19I just...
23:20I want to see his wee face.
23:22Is that okay?
23:23Yeah.
23:27And, 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.
23:58An orange juice and a white wine
23:59when you're ready, thanks.
24:01So,
24:02did 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
24:09I can date, actually.
24:10Sorry.
24:11Sorry.
24:13And, well,
24:14definitely proves
24:15that she's been lying about the cancer.
24:18No underlying conditions,
24:20no medication,
24:22signed
24:22and dated.
24:23Oh!
24:25It's amazing!
24:27I'll phone Alex.
24:29I've been on public.
24:31Oh, right.
24:31I'm sorry.
24:33I'm just anxious to get him home
24:35and get this done.
24:37We've got her.
24:42Should we do what
24:43and a cup of tea?
24:45No, I'm fine, thanks.
24:48Something to eat?
24:49Scarlett, will you stop?
24:52Look, I'm sorry,
24:53but
24:53we need to talk,
24:55obviously.
24:56I wouldn't worry about it.
24:58No?
25:00Oh.
25:01Oh, that business with Caitlin,
25:03should get over it
25:03and come to your senses.
25:05You think so?
25:07Aye.
25:09As if there's anything going on
25:10between you and me.
25:12Ha!
25:16Do you think there could be?
25:18Ever?
25:21Us?
25:24Aye.
25:27You and me?
25:29Me and you.
25:31Look, I know nothing's
25:33happened, but
25:36sometimes I
25:38get a wee
25:40spark kind of thing.
25:42Spark?
25:49I have feelings for you,
25:52Scarlett.
25:54I don't know what to say.
26:01Okay.
26:02Okay.
26:04I'll go.
26:06Wait.
26:06That made you feel uncomfortable.
26:08No.
26:09Well, you don't feel the same.
26:10No, I didn't say that.
26:10Go on and sit down
26:11and give me a minute here.
26:13Please.
26:18I wasn't...
26:21I didn't realise that you were
26:25interested in me
26:28that way.
26:31it's a lot to process.
26:39Maybe it is,
26:40isn't it?
26:42Maybe it's simple.
26:45You think?
26:48Maybe you should just kiss me
26:49and see what happens.
26:52I like that idea.
27:14Where does Mikey
27:16make you of this?
27:16He's rattled.
27:18I'm more surprised.
27:19If he died
27:20with fixation,
27:21then why
27:23are we paying a fortune
27:24to get back
27:25that fire extinguisher?
27:27It's not the murder weapon.
27:28And we
27:29didn'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
27:36when we left him
27:37with Mulvaney,
27:39that means
27:40Mulvaney did it.
27:41Surely not.
27:42It's only possibility.
27:44And I'll tell you
27:45something else.
27:46That wasn't
27:47two frightened women
27:48panicking
27:49any heat
27:49at the moment.
27:51It was called
27:52blooded murder.
28:01I'm a bit gutted
28:02that we've just
28:02helped one another
28:03about our feelings
28:04and you're going away.
28:05Come with me.
28:05I want to say yes,
28:06but I think it might be
28:07too soon.
28:08Too right,
28:09and it is.
28:09The police clearly think
28:10I've got something to do
28:11with Jonathan's death.
28:12They close in,
28:13try and trip me up
28:14until they can find something.
28:15Mikey,
28:16just stop.
28:16Any particular reason
28:17you didn't tell me
28:18you started working
28:19at A&E.
28:20I take it you've been
28:20to the Easter
28:21this morning, Annie.
28:22Oh, she was working.
28:22What, cleaning?
28:23No, as an ass.
28:24Tell me what the hell's
28:25going on.
28:26Bye.
28:28Bye.
