00:00:08What brought you to the door?
00:00:10Routine wellness.
00:00:11Your man's daughter in Lancaster called in,
00:00:13said our dad hadn't returned her calls for a couple of days.
00:00:15The door was open when I got here, so...
00:00:17Open or unlocked?
00:00:18Open.
00:00:23Buddy's in the chair.
00:00:29Okay.
00:00:36Well, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's the matter of him.
00:00:39Right. Probably stabbed in the head, that's it.
00:00:42Well, let's not be too hasty to get out of him,
00:00:44and he could have fallen onto the knife in the kitchen there
00:00:47and then stumbled back into his favourite chair.
00:00:51Grabbing the blanket as he went.
00:00:53I've got a perfect sense here.
00:00:54At least he's comfortable.
00:00:55I don't smell that knife in his head.
00:00:58I think a weapon came from here.
00:00:59Don't touch that.
00:01:02Put your fucking hands behind your back, yes?
00:01:05Yes, sir.
00:01:05How long have you been on the job? A month?
00:01:08Three, sir.
00:01:09Judging by the flower part outside, the same number of times you've puked.
00:01:12What's the smell, sir?
00:01:14It's not rocket science. It's open a window.
00:01:16I mean, you check them anyway, right?
00:01:18Just check them.
00:01:20Yes. Check them. Are they open? Are they closed? Are they locked? Are they broken?
00:01:24Is there another door? Or does it look forced?
00:01:26Fucking anything apart from, ooh, it smells, which we kind of already know.
00:01:31Well, I was instructed to wait for the team.
00:01:38Then go outside and wait.
00:01:41Well, you could fucking learn something by going and checking on all of that now.
00:01:45Let's start with the kitchen, yeah?
00:01:48Don't touch anything.
00:01:50What an amazing mentor you are.
00:01:52I know. It's a gift.
00:02:21You is a very handsome man.
00:02:23You straight into it.
00:02:24You would love to sit on little, too.
00:02:26What do you think?
00:02:44initiatives that come with the settings?
00:02:46You would like to sit in third place?
00:03:19You have one new message.
00:03:22I know you're listening to these messages.
00:03:24I know you're pretending they don't bother you,
00:03:27same as you pretend you're a righteous person.
00:03:31Well, you're not a righteous person, Merit.
00:03:33You're a fucking selfish, manipulative bitch,
00:03:36and very soon I'm going to find you,
00:03:38rip that black heart out of your chest,
00:03:41and fucking feed it to you.
00:03:43So enjoy your final...
00:03:45Oh, you know.
00:03:47Oh, you know.
00:04:32So it was just a coincidence then
00:04:35that on the day before she was planning on moving into a new flat,
00:04:39your wife, visibly upset,
00:04:42ran out of a restaurant in which the two of you were previously seen arguing,
00:04:46and when you got home,
00:04:48she fell down the stairs
00:04:50and suffered
00:04:52two hip fractures,
00:04:55a broken wrist,
00:04:57multiple lacerations,
00:04:59as well as the severe head trauma
00:05:01which killed her.
00:05:05Mr. Finch,
00:05:07can you not see
00:05:08what we all clearly see,
00:05:10that this woman
00:05:11clearly didn't fall?
00:05:14She was pushed
00:05:17by you.
00:05:22After you and your wife
00:05:24fought at dinner
00:05:25when you discovered
00:05:25she was planning to leave you,
00:05:27you, to quote your own family,
00:05:30flew off the handle
00:05:31and you pushed her down the stairs.
00:05:33I didn't push her down the stairs.
00:05:34Yes, you did.
00:05:35I'd found her!
00:05:39At the bottom of those stairs.
00:05:44Dead.
00:05:48All twisted up.
00:05:52I can't close my eyes
00:05:55without seeing her like that.
00:06:01I did not kill my wife,
00:06:05either on purpose or by accident.
00:06:10I loved her.
00:06:14And if she was unhappy with me,
00:06:17with our marriages,
00:06:18you know, imply,
00:06:22I had no idea.
00:06:26My wife saved my life.
00:06:30She made me
00:06:32a better person.
00:06:38Now,
00:06:44I'm lost.
00:06:49When the defense
00:06:50isn't objecting
00:06:51to something
00:06:51they normally would,
00:06:53one has to think
00:06:53it's a trap.
00:06:54Liam.
00:06:55But,
00:06:56you plowed on.
00:06:58Someone with more experience
00:07:00might have understood
00:07:00what was happening.
00:07:01What are you on about?
00:07:03Well, that about Finch
00:07:04being so violent,
00:07:05he clearly threw
00:07:06his wife downstairs.
00:07:07His counsel just sat there,
00:07:08kept quiet.
00:07:09Even Finch noticed.
00:07:11Well, maybe he didn't object
00:07:12because it's all relevant.
00:07:13Relevant and admissible
00:07:14are two different things.
00:07:15That depends on how one hears it.
00:07:16All the jury heard
00:07:17was that he loved his wife.
00:07:19I was supposed to show you
00:07:20the damn ropes
00:07:20and not help you
00:07:21hang yourself with them.
00:07:22It's not your fault.
00:07:24Yeah, I know.
00:07:26That was all a performance.
00:07:28Finch was full of shite.
00:07:29Man should win a fucking BAFTA.
00:07:31Nearly had me in tears.
00:07:36He's not wrong.
00:07:38He's still raging
00:07:39that you gave me this case
00:07:41and not him.
00:07:42Well, maybe.
00:07:43But still,
00:07:44you go too far sometimes.
00:07:46And today was a perfect example.
00:07:48What was I supposed to do?
00:07:50You left me hanging.
00:07:51You let me use
00:07:52Kirsty's evidence.
00:07:53She was not going to help you.
00:07:55She would have made it worse,
00:07:57in fact.
00:07:57Well, without her,
00:07:58there was no evidence.
00:07:59There's plenty of evidence.
00:08:02You had what you yourself
00:08:04described as a slam-dunk case,
00:08:06and then you proceeded
00:08:07to tell the jury
00:08:08just how convinced you were
00:08:10that the man in the box
00:08:11was a murderer.
00:08:12Once the jury gets alone
00:08:13in a room,
00:08:14the facts of the case
00:08:15become the topic at hand,
00:08:16not how badly
00:08:17the killer might feel
00:08:18or how much love
00:08:19he had for his victim.
00:08:20No one can say
00:08:21what a jury will do.
00:08:23I'm just saying
00:08:23they know he did it.
00:08:24Do they?
00:08:25Or do you just expect them
00:08:27to think you're right?
00:08:32I was going to ask you
00:08:33to join me
00:08:33for a quick drink,
00:08:34but I think I just
00:08:35pissed on that idea.
00:08:55for a while.
00:09:20I don't know.
00:09:39I'm Dr. Irvine, Dr. Sonnenberg-Boker-Hit, so I'm filling in.
00:09:48Pick one.
00:10:07Dr. Sonnenberg-Boker-Hit playing tennis, did you?
00:10:09An incident in the gardens, what they told me.
00:10:13Go ahead, try one.
00:10:15I left my racket at home.
00:10:17They're therapeutic.
00:10:19You squeeze them, it calms you down.
00:10:22Does it work?
00:10:23Try it.
00:10:42Keep it.
00:10:45Aren't you supposed to ask me some questions?
00:10:48I can.
00:10:49Or we can just keep sitting here.
00:10:51It's your fifty minutes.
00:10:52I was all set to dive into my unhappy childhood.
00:10:55I'm much more interested in your unhappy adulthood.
00:10:58How do you feel, Carl?
00:10:59More like, how does it feel to get shot, Carl?
00:11:03I've heard it described as feeling like being stung by hundred bees in the same place.
00:11:07If all the bees were on fire and they were flying at your face at twice the speed of sound,
00:11:12you could describe it like that, sure.
00:11:15You don't look like a shrink.
00:11:19You'd prefer I had a beard.
00:11:21Well, give us something to talk about.
00:11:22I'm sure we've already got plenty to talk about.
00:11:24I just don't understand the necessity of all this, I really don't.
00:11:27You're saying you don't want to be here?
00:11:30It's okay.
00:11:32Neither do I.
00:11:33It's a shitty job talking to you lot.
00:11:35Doesn't sound like you like your job very much.
00:11:37Would you like talking to you?
00:11:40Fair point.
00:11:41All right.
00:11:43I'm tired of what it feels like to get shot.
00:11:48Ask me another question.
00:11:49Can you give me permission?
00:11:50Let's just see how it goes.
00:11:52I see in your file you're on an antidepressant.
00:11:55That's in my file?
00:11:57Among other things.
00:11:58Such as?
00:11:58I've only glanced at it.
00:12:01Have you been feeling depressed, Carl?
00:12:03No more than normal.
00:12:04If I was shot in the face, I might feel depressed.
00:12:08I might feel angry.
00:12:10Not me.
00:12:10So all good then?
00:12:11From my end, yeah.
00:12:12So no need for me to ask about anxiety or sleep problems,
00:12:15because, of course, you've experienced none of that.
00:12:19I don't sleep much anyway.
00:12:20Mm-hmm.
00:12:22So then this is just a giant waste of our time.
00:12:24Well, those are your words, not mine.
00:12:39Okay.
00:12:41I get your point about talking to police officers.
00:12:47Really?
00:12:49Just gonna eat that in front of me?
00:12:51It's normally my lunch hour, but I wanted to fit you in.
00:12:54Of course, that was before I heard how well you were doing.
00:12:57I said I got your point.
00:12:58The truth is, Carl, a computer could just as easily tell you that after the incident in Leith Park,
00:13:03you're gonna have problems interacting with other human beings.
00:13:06And at some point, you might need some help.
00:13:09I had problems with other human beings long before I was shot.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:14The phrase superiority complex seems to be the overall theme of your personnel file.
00:13:19Is that the file you barely glanced at, yeah?
00:13:21I didn't say barely.
00:13:23Are you superior, Carl, to other people?
00:13:27Well, it's a low bar, isn't it?
00:13:31Wow.
00:13:51I will now read from a statement written by Caroline Kerr.
00:13:55Witness.
00:13:57On the morning of October 17th, I was walking with my eight-month-old through Leith Park
00:14:03when I observed a man in dark clothing going to the back door of flat number 226.
00:14:09Approximately five minutes later, I saw the man exit the flat
00:14:12and walked to a blue compact car of a meek I couldn't identify.
00:14:37This was your statement four months ago.
00:14:39I know.
00:14:40But now I've had some time to think about it.
00:14:43I'm not sure it was the same flat.
00:14:45You said in your statement you were positive.
00:14:47I think I made a mistake.
00:14:49Caroline, a policeman is dead.
00:14:52Another policeman is paralyzed.
00:14:54And I'm very sorry.
00:14:56If someone's threatened you, told you to change your statement, there are ways we can protect you.
00:15:00No one's threatened me. I thought I was sure, but I'm not.
00:15:03Caroline, you saw him at...
00:15:04No.
00:15:05I only thought I did.
00:15:07I'm very sorry.
00:15:17I'm very sorry.
00:15:21God, I don't think I'm ready for you to be back so soon, Carl.
00:15:23Hello, Rose.
00:15:28Your face isn't sagging.
00:15:30Excuse me?
00:15:31Well, I thought one side of your face would be all... saggy.
00:15:35I didn't have a stroke. I was shocked.
00:15:37Hmm. Is there a scar or anything?
00:15:40In there. Out there.
00:15:42Nice.
00:15:43Mm.
00:15:43At least you don't need to wear a wee helmet like my nephew.
00:15:46Is she in?
00:15:48Do I look like a PA?
00:15:49Yeah.
00:15:50You do.
00:15:51Maybe you saw her leave.
00:15:53Perhaps heard where she was going.
00:15:54Sorry.
00:15:59Who's that?
00:16:01Moira's stalker.
00:16:02Nah, he's just after her job.
00:16:05Brings me these if I let them sit there.
00:16:08They're gonna rot your teeth.
00:16:11Lovely to have you back, Carl.
00:16:13See ya.
00:16:15Prick.
00:16:15Heard that.
00:16:16Meant you to.
00:16:22For fuck's sake.
00:16:24This is why I wanted her out the press.
00:16:26Mother and baby and push to your witness murder.
00:16:29I mean, we practically led them to her door.
00:16:31If she was in the neighbourhood, it's possible they saw her at the scene,
00:16:34recognised her later on.
00:16:35Well, she was your only witness.
00:16:37So now what?
00:16:38We just need time.
00:16:39You've had four months.
00:16:41And maybe some more manpower.
00:16:44DCI Mort's back today.
00:16:45How could you not give us time to prepare?
00:16:47There's no preparing for Carol.
00:16:49Jesus, Carol!
00:16:50You asked to see me?
00:16:52An hour ago!
00:16:54DCI Bruce.
00:16:56Carl.
00:16:57Welcome back.
00:16:59Good to see ya.
00:17:01You look...
00:17:01You like shy?
00:17:02Not quite that good.
00:17:03Hmm.
00:17:04I'm sorry I didn't die, Logan.
00:17:06I'll get over it.
00:17:07We really are glad to have you back.
00:17:09I assume by we you mean no one.
00:17:11We should probably talk about Leith Park.
00:17:13I know all about it.
00:17:14I was there.
00:17:14I meant the investigation.
00:17:16So did I.
00:17:17I'm guessing nothing from any of the fragments that came out of the wall.
00:17:21No prints or DNA of any kind beyond those belonging to me, D.I. Hardy and Anderson.
00:17:24No useful CCTV and no cooperating witnesses.
00:17:27Is that about right?
00:17:27We had one until about five minutes ago.
00:17:29Wow.
00:17:31Keep up the good work.
00:17:33The place had been wiped ahead of time.
00:17:35It seemed pre-planned, organised by a pro.
00:17:38A pro wouldn't have left Hardy or me alive.
00:17:40Back up had arrived.
00:17:41How do you know?
00:17:42I was with him.
00:17:42Did you see the shooter?
00:17:44No.
00:17:44Well, I'm back.
00:17:48So, I'll take Wilson and Clark off your hands and we'll just start over.
00:17:52Get your own...
00:17:57Lovely to see you come.
00:18:00Sorry.
00:18:01You can't investigate your own shooting.
00:18:04I know, I just want to see the look on his face.
00:18:06Did you ever stop and wonder why people hate you?
00:18:08No.
00:18:14No.
00:18:15No.
00:18:15Don't usually use the sounds.
00:18:17No.
00:18:33No.
00:18:34No.
00:18:34No.
00:18:35No.
00:18:36No.
00:18:37No.
00:18:37No.
00:18:45OK, so?
00:18:46So it never crossed a line?
00:18:48The referee gave it.
00:18:50No, the linesman gave it.
00:18:52Yeah, so it was a goal?
00:18:53No, the linesman gave it because he was Russian.
00:18:56Why the fuck would he?
00:18:58It was the Cold War.
00:18:59The fucking Russians hated us.
00:19:01Yeah, but they hated the Germans more.
00:19:02I mean, we're talking 1966.
00:19:04It was 20 years after the war.
00:19:05But also...
00:19:06Also what?
00:19:09Also, the Germans beat the Soviets in the semi-final.
00:19:12So the linesman had a score to sell, didn't they?
00:19:14Look, even if any of this Tartan army conspiracy bullshit
00:19:17was actually true, which is fucking not...
00:19:19It's irrelevant because England scored again.
00:19:21We won 4-2.
00:19:22But...
00:19:22But that's because the Germans were pressing for an equaliser,
00:19:25which they shouldn't have been,
00:19:26because your third goal was never a goal in the first place.
00:19:29What the fuck do you think of that?
00:19:30I say fucking get over it.
00:19:31We won.
00:19:31Why can't I just let it go?
00:19:32Good morning, sir.
00:19:33Hang on, mate.
00:19:34It's the fucking attitude we hate.
00:19:36Commentators banging on about 1966.
00:19:39What you hate is the fact that England won,
00:19:41and you lot never will,
00:19:42because you're fucking shit.
00:19:43You can't even qualify for the finals
00:19:44to learn to win the final.
00:19:45Fucking Uruguay won it twice before your lot did.
00:19:48You don't see them acting all Billy Big Balls about it.
00:19:5260 years later,
00:19:53D.I. Hardy, D.C.I. Mock.
00:19:55Anderson, sir.
00:19:57Where's the rest of you?
00:19:58On the way, I'd imagine.
00:20:00What are we looking at?
00:20:01Dead male.
00:20:02Six days.
00:20:03Best I could tell.
00:20:04I didn't get too close.
00:20:05How do you know he's dead?
00:20:06It's kind of obvious.
00:20:07Obvious?
00:20:08The smell, sir, and then...
00:20:11I think you'll know when you see him.
00:20:13What brought you to the door?
00:20:14Routine wellness.
00:20:15The man's daughter in Lancaster called in,
00:20:17said our dad,
00:20:18and returned her calls for a couple of days.
00:20:20The door was open when I got here, so...
00:20:22Open or unlocked?
00:20:23Open.
00:20:24What did you think?
00:20:25Wait for the boys?
00:20:27So yous aren't the response unit?
00:20:29We went nearby.
00:20:30I thought we'd take a look.
00:20:30Is that okay?
00:20:35Might as well, though.
00:20:39What is in the chair?
00:20:45Check them.
00:20:47Yes.
00:20:48Check them.
00:20:49Are they open?
00:20:49Are they closed?
00:20:50Are they locked?
00:20:51Are they broken?
00:20:52Is there another door?
00:20:52Or does it look for?
00:20:53It's fucking anything apart from food.
00:20:55It smells, which we kind of already know.
00:20:58I was instructed to wait for the tea.
00:21:06Either go back outside and wait or learn something
00:21:10and go and check all of that out now.
00:21:12Starting with the kitchen.
00:21:14Sorry.
00:21:17Don't touch anything.
00:21:25Amazing mentor, you are.
00:21:27I know.
00:21:27It's a gift.
00:21:31It's a gift.
00:21:40It's a gift.
00:21:45It's a gift.
00:21:46It's a gift.
00:21:49It's a gift.
00:21:50It's a gift.
00:21:52It's a gift.
00:21:53It's a gift.
00:21:53It's a gift.
00:21:54It's a gift.
00:21:55It's a gift.
00:21:55It's a gift.
00:21:57It's a gift.
00:21:59It's a gift.
00:22:00It's a gift.
00:22:01It's a gift.
00:22:02It's a gift.
00:22:53Anderson, sir.
00:22:54How long have you been on the job? A month?
00:22:56Three, sir.
00:23:05I'll tell you what, there's nothing like a, uh, sort of a shootout to each the fuck out of here.
00:23:11A total fucking cock-up.
00:23:13I mean, first they roll up in a scene that's not even theirs,
00:23:16then they march straight into a fucking ambush.
00:23:18Real question is why they decided to show up in the first place.
00:23:21Because Mort can't fucking help himself.
00:23:44Is this the car?
00:23:49Is this the car the witness said she saw the shooter get out of?
00:23:53Yes, but she's not a witness anymore.
00:23:56She recanted, but she's still a witness.
00:23:57Can't use her. Not in court.
00:23:59We're not the fucking courts, are we?
00:24:02What's this here?
00:24:03What's what? Where?
00:24:06Where's the nearest McDonald's?
00:24:07There's one by the station.
00:24:09Not here.
00:24:11Near fucking Leith Park.
00:24:13There's one on Market Road.
00:24:15Did you check the CCTV there?
00:24:17Okay.
00:24:18Come here.
00:24:21What does this look like?
00:24:24That could be anyone's.
00:24:25Yeah, could be.
00:24:26Well, it wasn't listed by forensics.
00:24:28Well, that's two fuck-ups, then.
00:24:30What else do you see?
00:24:32What about you?
00:24:33The bag and the cup.
00:24:35They weren't there before the car got there.
00:24:37Well, it'd be good to see if the CCTV at the McDonald's
00:24:39caught a guy dressed all in black buying a milkshake, no?
00:24:41Why would the shooter leave the scene and then come back?
00:24:44Wrong question.
00:24:45Why did he stay?
00:24:49The shooter was watching the house to see who showed up.
00:24:51How do you know that?
00:24:52Because what other explanation is there?
00:24:55Our theory is that these are two separate crimes.
00:24:57One shooting, one stabbing.
00:24:58Yeah, I'm not sure that's the theory you want to pursue.
00:25:01Why not?
00:25:01Because that means that's two separate crimes
00:25:03you've gotten fucking nowhere with.
00:25:07Focus on the shooter.
00:25:09Focus on what the fuck he actually did that day.
00:25:11You've got it all up here.
00:25:13And check the CCTV at the McDonald's.
00:25:17Please.
00:25:19Homicide rates are up.
00:25:21Hollywood is accusing us of letting too much slip through the net.
00:25:24I suppose maybe we should work a little harder at solving crimes.
00:25:28I'll get right on that.
00:25:30Anything else?
00:25:30Moira.
00:25:31Seriously, Jonathan?
00:25:32It too?
00:25:33No one's accusing you of anything.
00:25:34We're just having a conversation.
00:25:36One that began with,
00:25:37so Moira, tell us,
00:25:38what's up with your miserable solve rate?
00:25:40You disagree with the numbers?
00:25:42Not at all.
00:25:42But we have MIT's working without crime scene officers.
00:25:46Two forensic experts across the whole department.
00:25:49I'm aware of the financial issues,
00:25:51but there's some concern about public perception.
00:25:55Perception is neither my problem nor my department.
00:25:59Figuring out how to spend what money I don't have
00:26:01in actual investigations is.
00:26:03I'm assuming you know about the Windley case up in Aberdeen.
00:26:07All I know is what I've read.
00:26:09Some police officer, retired now,
00:26:12who never let it go.
00:26:1316 years without a solve.
00:26:15Until we get a DNA hit from a trace of our clothes.
00:26:19Can't wait for the podcast.
00:26:20Exactly.
00:26:22And that was good optics.
00:26:24Keller's been put away years after they thought they'd get away with it.
00:26:27Personally, I think it's better we put them away sooner.
00:26:30The Cabinet Secretary is proposing we establish a new department.
00:26:35One that's focused on examining similar cases
00:26:38which might serve the public's interest.
00:26:41Doesn't the solving of every case serve the public interest?
00:26:45You're a good officer, Moira.
00:26:47But sometimes you forget the winder picture.
00:26:50Look, I need to be solving the cases on my desk yesterday,
00:26:52not one from before I was born.
00:26:54I've barely got enough detectives to cover the ground as it is,
00:26:58let alone a new department.
00:26:59I should mention the department will have its own budget.
00:27:04What sort of budget?
00:27:07A substantial one.
00:27:09Depending on the cases you choose,
00:27:12the bigger profile the better.
00:27:13The Crown Office has put together a list of cases to consider.
00:27:18And, of course,
00:27:21to have an advocate at your disposal.
00:27:25I'll have full discretion over all of it.
00:27:31I'll have full discretion over all of it.
00:27:32It's your department.
00:27:36I suppose I can make that work.
00:27:41Good.
00:27:44Now, who do you have in mind for the job?
00:28:12Holy mate.
00:28:18Oh good indeed now, done Harold, break that pace, here comes McHeeves, strike the ball.
00:28:30I don't want to say it here though, that was nearly a goal of it.
00:28:35Good evening, I've got a good one there.
00:28:51I went back today.
00:28:56Nothing's changed, we're all fucking warrants.
00:29:02I'm just going to put my time in and be done with it.
00:29:07And then who knows, maybe I'll just hang out with you.
00:29:13Argue about football.
00:29:14I'm just going to put my time in and be done with it.
00:29:20I'm just going to put my time in and be done with it.
00:30:08Smells good.
00:30:10It's nearly done.
00:30:24It's been a long day, I'm sure.
00:30:34I'll take it from here.
00:30:45I firmly believe that those who commit violent crime don't ever truly get away with it.
00:30:51The court might set them free, but be it conscience, karma or the universe they are, ultimately one way or
00:31:00another punished for what they've done.
00:31:01That was Merit Lingard, the lead prosecutor in the Graham Finch trial which reaches its conclusion.
00:31:08Hmm.
00:31:10Well you're not going to make me watch that nonsense are you?
00:31:13Oh I see.
00:31:19Your choice.
00:31:21As long as it's got nothing to do with criminals or courts.
00:31:26I'll blow your winds over the sea.
00:31:33I'll blow your winds over the ocean.
00:31:36And bring back my money to me.
00:31:41You're still here.
00:31:42Oh, there's no trouble.
00:31:44He's all set now.
00:31:45That's very nice of you.
00:31:47I'll just get my coat.
00:31:48My brother is a grown man.
00:31:52He's not child.
00:31:54Of course.
00:31:56I'm saying that he's not your baby boy.
00:31:58I know.
00:31:59What?
00:32:01I know he's not my baby boy.
00:32:04Then treat him as such.
00:32:05Yeah.
00:32:08Yeah.
00:32:35Yeah.
00:32:52Oh.
00:33:25I don't know what you expect from me.
00:33:27Could you turn it down?
00:33:28I could, yes.
00:33:30We need to talk to him first.
00:33:32I don't pay 500 pounds a month, I'm at years bled out.
00:33:35It's better than I've eaten all my food.
00:33:36I can't hear you.
00:33:38I'm serious, but I get that he hates you.
00:33:40Is he really how to take it out of me?
00:33:42Try to work in here.
00:33:43Work?
00:33:44Oh, you got a job then?
00:33:45I can't hear you.
00:34:02What the fuck?
00:34:03The house is on fire.
00:34:04Fuck off.
00:34:05Because I'd smell the smoke.
00:34:06This room is disgusting.
00:34:10So what?
00:34:11I mean, this whole place, just a dump.
00:34:13Well, you could get off your arse once in a while and clean it,
00:34:15because Martin is not a parlour maid, you know.
00:34:18Yeah, well, I've got homework, so...
00:34:20Biology.
00:34:24Turn it down, or I will throw everything in this room
00:34:27out of the fucking window.
00:34:34You're a prick.
00:34:36So I keep hearing.
00:34:38You're a prick.
00:34:47I'm sorry.
00:34:56You're a prick.
00:34:58I'm sure you're a jerk.
00:34:59I'm sorry.
00:35:02I'll come here.
00:35:03I see nothing.
00:35:04I know.
00:35:04I'm sorry.
00:35:07But...
00:35:07I don't know.
00:35:41I'm Akram Saleem. I've been waiting to see you.
00:35:44And the wait continues. I'm very busy.
00:35:46Yes. I work part-time in admin, mostly IT.
00:35:49But I was hoping I might move into your department.
00:35:52I have much experience back home in Syria.
00:35:54Speak to recruitment.
00:35:56Yes. They say nothing is available, but if you just give me a moment...
00:36:00I'm afraid there's no path for you here, then.
00:36:12How did he get in here?
00:36:15Um...
00:36:15Is that a pass, I say?
00:36:17No, he just, um...
00:36:18He works in IT. He's not allowed in this part of the building.
00:36:21Look, if you try these, you'll understand.
00:36:23Get rid of him.
00:36:40You're a cop.
00:36:42Who says?
00:36:43That thing round your neck.
00:36:45Have you saw anyone?
00:36:47Not today.
00:36:50Have you seen dead bodies?
00:36:53Few.
00:36:54I saw my granda dead.
00:36:56Yeah?
00:36:58He pushed himself.
00:37:01You didn't kill him, did you?
00:37:03No.
00:37:04My mum said it was all the tennis and crisps they got.
00:37:08Well, that's not a bad way to go.
00:37:13Well, my own department.
00:37:15Congratulations.
00:37:16Are you joking?
00:37:17It's been commissioned by the Cabinet Secretary himself.
00:37:20Really?
00:37:21Yeah.
00:37:21You'll be reviewing cold cases from all over the country.
00:37:25There's a list here from the Crown Office.
00:37:27You can pick whichever ones you want.
00:37:30And you'd have your own contact there if you'd like.
00:37:33Contact?
00:37:33Well, so I'm a lawyer?
00:37:35If you'd like.
00:37:37Who exactly will I be in charge of?
00:37:39Just you.
00:37:40A department of just me.
00:37:42Oh, you'll have an office?
00:37:43Whatever resources you need.
00:37:45Well, I need a car.
00:37:48No, we can't just give you a car.
00:37:51This isn't...
00:37:51The price is right.
00:37:52You just said I'd be reviewing cases all over the country.
00:37:55What happens if I get one in Inverness?
00:37:56Do you expect me to take a bus?
00:37:58I'll see what I can do.
00:38:00So, can I tell the Deputy Chief Constable that you're on board?
00:38:03Where's this office?
00:38:11Q?
00:38:13Where the hell's that?
00:38:14Downstairs.
00:38:15The office is a number downstairs, Moira.
00:38:18I mean...
00:38:19Downstairs, downstairs.
00:38:31Downstairs.
00:38:33Fuckin' hell.
00:38:35Wow.
00:39:10All right.
00:40:02All right.
00:40:05All right.
00:40:13Jesus.
00:40:14All right.
00:40:54Yeah.
00:40:56This will do.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:59I can't let you in here anymore.
00:41:01Boss's orders.
00:41:02Turns out she doesn't have much of a sweet tooth.
00:41:04Those were amazing.
00:41:06My wife's special recipe.
00:41:09She would be pleased to know you liked them.
00:41:12And thank you for your hospitality.
00:41:15Oh, am I gonna need that, um...
00:41:19Oh, right.
00:41:20Yeah.
00:41:22Thanks.
00:41:26Good luck.
00:41:37Fuck.
00:41:38Fuck, Rose!
00:41:39Chief wanted me to tell you she looks forward to hearing which one you pick first.
00:41:44Oh, great.
00:41:47What you working on?
00:41:49I was working on taking a fucking nap.
00:41:51Yeah, you're probably gonna need someone's help getting through all these.
00:41:56You're absolutely right.
00:41:58You're absolutely right.
00:42:01That's not what I...
00:42:06I want one new computer and one new telephone on every desk.
00:42:11And put your old telephones into this wee bin here.
00:42:14All right.
00:42:20Uh, Moira?
00:42:23Hi.
00:42:24Oh, for fuck's sake.
00:42:27You can't expect me to go through those files on my own.
00:42:30You only have to choose one.
00:42:32There's decades worth of evidence down there.
00:42:34I've made a team.
00:42:35I thought you understood it was just you.
00:42:37You're more than capable.
00:42:39Uh, that big telly?
00:42:40Into my office and the chair behind my desk.
00:42:45We're just, uh, moving things around.
00:42:48I thought you said that the cabinet secretary himself requested this department.
00:42:52The reputation of the entire force was on the line.
00:42:54Well, I think that's overstating.
00:42:56Oh, well, let's invite him down to my office, shall we?
00:42:58We can all sit on the urinals and talk it out.
00:43:02Fine.
00:43:03I'll find you an assistant to lighten the load, okay?
00:43:05Mm-hmm.
00:43:06Oh, and by the way, it was never meant to be an office.
00:43:08So anything you could do on the refurbishment budget?
00:43:10You know, if there's anything left.
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:12Don't push your luck.
00:43:13And I want the first case for the end of the week.
00:43:16Yeah, yeah.
00:43:18In the High Court of Justiciary, court number six,
00:43:22Her Majesty's Advocates against Graham Finch.
00:43:26Would the spokesperson of the jury please rise?
00:43:32Have you reached your verdict?
00:43:35We have.
00:43:36And what is your verdict under the charge of murder?
00:43:40We find the charge not proven.
00:43:43Mr Finch.
00:43:46You have been acquitted by the jury and are now discharged from the dock.
00:43:53Court.
00:43:54NoPEA HARDING
00:43:54Do you have to do your own arm?
00:44:03NoPEA HARDING
00:44:05Oh, no.
00:44:13NoPEA HARDING
00:44:19Okay.
00:44:20I'm sorry.
00:44:20Your hope, sir.
00:44:22No, no.
00:44:23You're not here, George.
00:44:23No, no.
00:44:23It is a good one.
00:44:24Do you feel it for me?
00:44:26This has always been a very emotive case.
00:44:30A wrong hotel.
00:44:32No wishes it had gone in a different direction.
00:44:35But consider our option.
00:44:39Go.
00:44:40We yield.
00:44:41Anywhere. Just go.
00:45:01My last holiday...
00:45:02Do you feel it...
00:45:05Your next holiday?
00:45:05The night's return is...
00:45:05One, two, three, four...
00:45:22The night's return is now gone agule.
00:45:27Hello?
00:45:29Sorry?
00:45:37Push, push.
00:45:47I'm sorry.
00:45:52Who are you?
00:45:53I have been sent from upstairs.
00:45:56I'm your new assistant.
00:46:03I can answer him.
00:46:08DC Dixon.
00:46:10Why do I feel like I want you to thank for this?
00:46:12I take it you've met Akram.
00:46:13Just some kind of sick joke, yeah?
00:46:15It's very, um, eager.
00:46:18Yeah, which is code for pain in the arse.
00:46:21Oh, you two should get along wonderfully then.
00:46:30Akram, yeah?
00:46:31Yes, sir.
00:46:32It's Carl.
00:46:34Not, sir.
00:46:35I'm busy.
00:46:35There's a lot to be done.
00:46:37That's why I'm here, sir.
00:46:38Carl.
00:46:39Good.
00:46:40Okay.
00:46:41There's a mop and bucket in the other room.
00:46:42This place is a mess.
00:46:43Then I want you to go upstairs and get me a...
00:46:49A computer and one of those new TVs.
00:46:53Yeah?
00:46:57That's everything?
00:46:57For now.
00:47:08This is what I want.
00:47:24Hey.
00:47:25Come here.
00:47:30They said you fell out of bed.
00:47:32Found you on the floor by the window.
00:47:38Don't you know that Scottish air will kill you?
00:47:49Fuck off.
00:47:50Please, mate.
00:47:53Fuck's sake, please.
00:47:55No, we'll figure it out, okay?
00:47:56And we'll always do it together.
00:47:57I promise.
00:47:58Is that Carl Moore?
00:48:00Hey.
00:48:02Dad!
00:48:03Hey.
00:49:06Hello? Hello? Claire? Claire? Who's...
00:49:21I've been trying to call you. You're late.
00:49:25William.
00:49:32Can I see?
00:49:41Jane...
00:49:43Jane...
00:49:45Jane...
00:49:45Jane...
00:49:46Jane...
00:49:55What's that, Dazbo?
00:50:14I don't know about you.
00:50:16I'm so tired.
00:50:21So maybe we should get away for a little while.
00:50:25Change of scenery, what do you think?
00:50:40I'm sorry I wasn't here.
00:51:03I'm sorry, sir. I just wanted to understand what you do.
00:51:06Those are confidential.
00:51:08Well, upstairs they say it's a new department, but no one told me.
00:51:12But now I read them, I understand.
00:51:14You read them?
00:51:16Yes.
00:51:17Well, all of them?
00:51:19Well, many of them.
00:51:20Very interesting cases.
00:51:22Murders, kidnappings, rapes, assaults.
00:51:25I think many are good mysteries.
00:51:27Good.
00:51:29Worthy.
00:51:32At home in Syria there are a lot of cases like this.
00:51:34Unsolved.
00:51:35People go missing, no one knows anything about it.
00:51:38Most of the time I was the only one looking.
00:51:40Well, you work for the police.
00:51:42Sort of.
00:51:43Sort of?
00:51:45Well, it's complicated.
00:51:49You will solve them, these cases?
00:51:52Who knows?
00:51:54Which will you work on?
00:51:55I don't know.
00:51:56I'm supposed to choose one.
00:51:58There are many that can be solved.
00:51:59Oh, and you know that from what?
00:52:01Just reading them, yeah?
00:52:04Don't you, when you read the file?
00:52:06Sometimes you're able to just know.
00:52:11I haven't read them.
00:52:13Perhaps then I could assist you.
00:52:14Read through all of them.
00:52:15It's not your job, is it?
00:52:18Put them away.
00:52:43Look.
00:52:45Since you can actually read a file,
00:52:48and clearly a fuck's sight better than you mop the floor,
00:52:51maybe you could sort them out for me, you know?
00:52:53Categorize them.
00:52:54We'll call it...
00:52:58administrative work.
00:53:00I can do that.
00:53:02Great.
00:53:10Oh, uh, the boss said you have to park in the back,
00:53:14not in the disabled space.
00:53:32I can't afford it.
00:53:35I can do that.
00:53:41Look how?
00:53:42I don't know so much.
00:53:43And we can do that again.
00:53:44And then, did I go around again?
00:53:44Done.
00:54:00I'm so sorry, Paul!
00:54:11Apparently, I'm to solve some fancy cold case of my own choosing, as long as it makes Moira look good,
00:54:17which of course is bullshit, because she'll spend it on her own fucking unit.
00:54:23Look at us, fuck's sake. You want to kill yourself, I want to kill everyone else. Talk about one and
00:54:28one equals fucking zero.
00:54:39We need to figure something out, together, and soon, because as much as I'd love to, I can't give up
00:54:44on Jasper, and I sure as fuck can't give up on you, so outside of me putting a pillow over
00:54:48your face, I don't know what we'd do.
00:54:53You can give me one of those beers, and tell me more about this new department.
00:55:00I don't know what you're doing out of me, I don't know where you're gonna come from.
00:55:02I look up, I want to get.
00:55:11So, there you go, you'll see what you're doing out of me.
00:55:14You left you up.
00:55:21It doesn't even talk to me by him.
00:55:21Oh my god.
00:55:22I don't know.
00:55:53No.
00:56:29No, no, no.
00:56:56No, no, no.
00:56:58No, no, no.
00:56:58You can't have it, Mike.
00:57:00It's gone.
00:57:00It's gone.
00:57:02You can't have it.
00:57:04You can't have it.
00:57:09Well, you shouldn't have done it.
00:57:10You can't have it.
00:57:16No, no.
00:57:24You can't have it.
00:57:27I'm sorry.
00:57:28I'm sorry.
00:57:29You can't have it.
00:57:30I'm sorry.
00:57:32I'm sorry.
00:57:33I'm sorry.
00:59:08We can find her.
00:59:12She's gone four years now.
00:59:15So?
00:59:19She's dead.
00:59:22I don't think so.
00:59:27Is that what you got tells you?
00:59:29It's what the file tells me.
00:59:35Nah, it's a loser.
01:00:06It's a loser.
01:00:06I don't know.
01:00:43I don't know.
01:01:22I don't know.
01:01:39I don't know.
01:02:26I don't know.
01:02:40I don't know.
01:03:19I don't know.
01:03:57I don't know.
01:04:15I don't know.
01:04:45I don't know.
01:05:15I don't know.
01:05:40I don't know.
01:05:40I don't know.
01:05:42I don't know.
01:05:42I don't know.
01:05:44I don't know.
01:05:53I don't know.
01:05:53I don't know.
01:05:55I don't know.
01:05:55I don't know.
