00:20You
00:21May I suggest some restraint restraint you mean don't throw him down the stairs
00:25You know one of these days I'm gonna get you really drunk and you're gonna tell me all about your
00:28old job
00:29I don't think
00:34Some Hague he's with the Scottish Telegraph
00:38Attended the Finch trial
00:40Every day well don't know him
00:44Yeah, married spent Thursday afternoons in a hotel room
00:48She didn't introduce us even close as you said you were we didn't discuss her personal life remember
00:56Well, we believe they were working on a corruption case together
01:00What sort of corruption and where?
01:02Something that connected Graham Finch and Kirsty Atkins
01:04Kirsty Atkins?
01:06Potential witness you wouldn't allow to testify on the Finch case
01:09And why wouldn't I?
01:11We were hoping you'd tell us
01:13I have no recollection of this
01:15Kirsty Atkins or what she may or may not have to say in the case
01:19I suggest you ask Liam Taylor
01:21We did
01:22He said to ask you
01:25We know
01:27That Kirsty told Merritt that she testified that she'd met Finch's deceased wife a year before in a woman's refuge
01:33The wife being there on account of Finch beating the living shit out of her
01:36So this will have been new and not particularly helpful information
01:40For Finch
01:41Then why wasn't she brought in?
01:43Kirsty was a prolific offender and long-term resident of Stockton Prison
01:47So not necessarily credible
01:49Well it's our understanding Merritt thought differently
01:51Soon after their conversation
01:53Kirsty was jumped
01:55So someone thought she was credible enough to try and stop her
01:57So again our question would be
02:01Why wasn't she called?
02:02Well as I have no recollection of this individual
02:04I can only comment generally and generally with an individual like that
02:07A jury just sees someone who wants to get out of prison
02:09Well in a few weeks she'll be fresh out of prison
02:12Missing an eye with several dozen scars left over from a shanking while she was in protective custody
02:16Does he ever speak?
02:18Not if I can help it
02:20And this attack would have been around the same time that you told Merritt that she couldn't use Kirsty at
02:24trial
02:25Well I have to take your word for that because once more I have no recollection of any of this
02:29But you agree?
02:31To make this happen Finch would have needed friends on the inside
02:34Huh
02:36Oh Mark
02:37You are truly as advertised out of your fucking mind
02:41Why would I ever help out someone like Graham Finch?
02:45Because he wasn't just a random husband who threw his half-pissed wife down the concrete stairs
02:49He had money
02:50He had juice
02:51Finch was a long-time wrong guy with his own long-time connections
02:55He had no need for any of my help
02:57Merritt would have come to you if she wanted to call Kirsty in the case
03:00Is there even a record of Merritt wanting to call Kirsty?
03:03I mean why are you so certain of all of this?
03:05I believe Kirsty
03:06The serial drug offender who wants out of prison
03:09I mean what about the journalist that Merritt was supposedly working with?
03:13He's dead
03:14Had a bad fall the day before Merritt disappeared
03:17Which, if you keep in school, means that's one dead, one knife
03:20One disappeared within a week after Merritt came to you
03:24With a witness who could put away Finch
03:29Okay, Morg
03:30You got me
03:33I'm owned by Graham Finch
03:36I assume he pays me in gold coins or something
03:40No sir
03:42We think you were threatened by him
03:44Indirectly
03:47Your daughter Julia
03:48She was ran off the road during the trial
03:54She in turn struck and seriously injured another man
03:57It was all very messy
04:00A father never stops thinking of all the ways that harm can
04:05Touch what he cares about
04:08For any man, this is a weakness
04:12May I ask sir, how do you know that Kirsty Atkins is a drug offender?
04:18You said so?
04:20No
04:20DCI Morg said she was a prolific offender, that's all
04:29It seems the only person who can help us prove any of this is dead
04:36Well, we are not certain that Merritt is dead
04:42You better hope she is
04:46Thank you for your time
04:50Thank you
04:52Thank you
05:19I don't know.
05:23I don't know.
06:02I don't know.
06:41I don't know.
06:49I don't know.
06:49You are.
06:50Very fucking scary.
06:52Aye fucking right, I am.
06:56I like talking to you, Rome.
06:59I can say almost anything to you.
07:01Almost?
07:01What can't you say?
07:03Give me an example?
07:03I can't give you an example.
07:04Why not?
07:05Because if I could say it to you, I'd say it.
07:08Good point.
07:14What's so funny?
07:16Lyle, what the fuck?
07:17Mum told me to tell you she needs you at home.
07:19Okay.
07:20You told me.
07:21Now fuck off.
07:22She told me to drag you out of here.
07:25Like that's gonna fucking happen.
07:32Smells like sex.
07:37Just if you'd know.
07:40I think your dad's here.
07:45It's okay.
07:46Just leave it.
07:52Hey Harry.
07:54You in?
07:54Nah, not today.
07:56We could've used you though.
07:58I'm retired.
08:06You're Lyle Jennings.
08:08Mr Lingard.
08:09You're not here to burn the place down, are you?
08:11Da.
08:12No sir.
08:13I'm just here to pick up Harry.
08:16Our ma needs him.
08:17She's awake, is she?
08:18We're just leaving.
08:19Aye.
08:24Lyle.
08:31See you tomorrow.
08:42What did I say about Harry Jennings being in the house when I'm not?
08:47He's not so bad.
08:49I'm talking to your sister.
08:51Me and Harry, we like each other.
08:54Harry and I...
08:56In fact...
08:59We love each other.
09:00Like Romeo and Juliet.
09:02Oh, whatever.
09:03He's not gonna be coming back here anytime soon.
09:05You missed your brother's game.
09:07William doesn't care if we go to his stupid games, do you?
09:10If you want to.
09:10See, he doesn't care.
09:12That's not the point.
09:12What is the point then?
09:14Family?
09:18Yeah, that's what I thought.
09:22Do you mind?
09:29Thatude.
09:30That's right.
09:30...
09:58The man?
09:58Oh, my God.
10:40Detective Mark, didn't recognise you.
10:43You're not sitting in your city car outside my office.
10:46Be glad I'm not sitting in your office.
10:49Yet.
10:50How are you doing, Robbie?
10:51Do we know each other?
10:53Well, I've seen you on the telly enough to make you feel like we do.
10:56I suppose I could say the same thing.
10:58Like all good advocates, I assume that you turn away
11:00when your client kicks his ball out of the rough.
11:03Are you here to harass Mr. Finch, Detective?
11:06If so, can we at least have our lunch first?
11:08It's all good, Robbie.
11:10Detective Mark's just here to apologise for a misunderstanding.
11:14So it was an accident, was it,
11:15that your trained cockroach slimed all over a 17-year-old kid?
11:19It was.
11:21He was supposed to slime all over you.
11:23I'm very sorry.
11:24I have to say, though, you tooled up Fritz pretty good, yeah?
11:27I got the feeling Fritz enjoyed it.
11:29Aye.
11:30You made his day.
11:32You have my apology now.
11:33Is there anything else?
11:35Well, yeah.
11:39Do you mind, Detective?
11:40Those are very expensive clubs.
11:42Here's the thing, Graham.
11:43You can't be tried again for the murder of your wife,
11:46so hats off there, advocate.
11:48But what I can get you for
11:50is paying for the botched hit on Kirstie Atkins.
11:54The botched what on who?
11:58That's just not.
12:00What do you say?
12:01What do you say, Detective?
12:02You leave Mr. Finch to have his lunch.
12:05You have proof?
12:06I have your other paid cockroach, Ed Solomon,
12:09the one who scraped Fritz off the fucking pavement
12:11and drove him to the hospital.
12:12And who now himself is in hospital?
12:14Yeah.
12:14Told.
12:15Yeah.
12:16With a broken leg.
12:17Well, it's a good job he doesn't need his leg to talk.
12:20Quite the conversation, this, Ed, is.
12:22Turns out he's got a number of texts and voicemails from you
12:25that are fucking hilarious.
12:27Hilarious if you're not you or your lawyer.
12:30Such as?
12:31Gabby says he can put you in touch
12:33with a couple of dykes at Sorton
12:35who can cut one of her fucking eyes out
12:38and make her eat it.
12:40Seeing as she was threatened to testify against you,
12:42that's both metaphoric and symbolic.
12:44Detective,
12:45I think we can end this little interview now.
12:48Now, we assume that this Gabby
12:50is a fellow traveller in your world of fuckery.
12:53But what we don't know
12:54is who told you about Kirstie in the first place?
12:57Detective Mork.
12:59Wasn't Stephen Burns by any chance, was it?
13:01Maybe right after either Ed or Fritz
13:02ran his daughter's car off the fucking motorway.
13:04If you want to talk to Mr. Finch like this,
13:07you can either make a formal charge
13:09or you can go.
13:11This is a private call for...
13:16You might want to go and pick that up.
13:18I beg your fucking pardon.
13:20You can beg all you like.
13:23Won't you go, Robbie?
13:26Promise not to admit to anything while you're away.
13:32Kirstie gets out next month.
13:35I'll send her a muffin basket.
13:36You'll forget she ever existed.
13:38Why would I do that?
13:40Because if anything happens to her,
13:42if she so much as stubs her fucking toe,
13:45I'm going to assume it was your fault
13:46and I'm going to come knocking at your door.
13:48Is that all?
13:49I'm guessing it was the same two genetic fuck-ups
13:51who visited Jasper and Kirstie
13:52who also had a go at Fergus Dunbar,
13:54the cop who caught the Lingard case
13:56the first time around.
13:57Might have been.
13:58They do have a lot of free time.
14:00Did you have anything to do
14:01with Merit Lingard's disappearance?
14:04You found that funny?
14:05Hilarious.
14:06Why would I go after a prosecutor
14:07after I was acquitted?
14:09You were acquitted of murder.
14:10She was looking into corruption
14:11at the Crown Office
14:12with a reporter, Sam Haig,
14:13who happened to die
14:14the day before she disappeared.
14:16So she could have gotten you another way.
14:18Now that is very suspicious.
14:19You wouldn't happen to know anything about that?
14:22No.
14:23Then I'm not in the habit of killing reporters.
14:26Just your wife.
14:29Fritz did say you appeared to be a lunatic.
14:31Oh, well, coming from Fritz,
14:32that's high praise indeed.
14:33Look, Haig was at your trial.
14:36If you say so.
14:38Aye.
14:39He was.
14:40He was also the one
14:42who told me about Kirsty Atkins.
14:45When?
14:46One day at trial.
14:49He came up to me during a break
14:50and he told me he knew
14:51she was going to testify.
14:53And that it would be quite damning.
14:56And he just offered it up?
14:57He did.
14:58Which made the information suspect.
15:01But I informed Graham
15:02that were it to be true,
15:03I would file an immediate motion against it.
15:06It was my feeling that,
15:07given the woman's history,
15:09the ruling was likely to be in our favor.
15:12In the end,
15:13I did nothing.
15:15I didn't have to.
15:17And Graham was fine
15:19with just waiting to file a motion?
15:20I was not party
15:21to any further conversation in the matter.
15:24And if Graham had wanted
15:25to pursue a more aggressive approach,
15:28I would, of course,
15:29have reminded him
15:30that we had a very strong case
15:32without resorting to intimidation.
15:35Any idea why Haig
15:36gave you such a gift in the first place?
15:38No.
15:39No quid pro quo?
15:40None.
15:41And I assume, of course,
15:42that neither of you have
15:43the slightest thinking
15:44of what happened to Haig
15:45right after he delivered
15:46his fortuitous piece of intelligence, hmm?
15:48In my experience, Detective,
15:51if you want to stop a reporter
15:52from looking at you,
15:54the absolute worst thing you could do
15:56would be to harm that reporter.
15:57Well, same goes for the cops.
16:02Once you go after one of theirs,
16:04they will never leave you alone.
16:06It's not worth it.
16:09A lot of grey area there, Mr. Finch.
16:12The thing with the golf club
16:13was very amusing.
16:17Though I have to say
16:18I was most relieved
16:19when you didn't hit him with it.
16:21Oh, Jesus.
16:22Well, let's talk about me losing control
16:23and you're the one
16:24who's out there crushing windpipes
16:25and chucking people
16:26down the fucking stairs.
16:28Yes.
16:28Except when I do these things,
16:30I'm never out of control.
16:32I'm very much in control.
16:43What the fuck did you do
16:45back in Syria?
16:46Come on.
16:57Are you going to answer that?
17:06Mork?
17:07Someone's fuck it with you, yeah?
17:09Who is this?
17:10Your favourite reporter,
17:11Dennis Piper.
17:13Don't hang up.
17:15I'm about to help you.
17:16Well, that's very generous of you,
17:17but I think you're a fucking rodent.
17:19I'm texting you something.
17:20Take a look at it.
17:22If you want to talk after you watch it,
17:23I'll be at the Golden Rule
17:24for the next hour.
17:25What the fuck are you talking about?
17:32Shall we watch?
17:39What the fuck are you talking about?
18:02What the fuck are you talking about?
18:28Hey.
18:34My tooth is infected.
18:36I need antibiotics. Better get a fucking dentist.
18:51I'll just die from fucking sepsis.
18:55It would be of the pleasure of doing it yourself.
18:56Sounds a bit anticlimactic.
18:59After all this time...
19:17He wasn't ever going to leave me alone.
19:19Every time I'd turn around, there'd be staring at me.
19:23Staring at you?
19:24Yeah.
19:25I'd be eating or working out in the weight room.
19:29I'd be reading in the library and he'd come and sit across from me.
19:32I even caught him watching me sleep one time.
19:35I couldn't take that anymore.
19:36You messed him up pretty good.
19:39He may lose that eye.
19:43Sam, did you hear what I said?
19:46He might lose his eye.
19:49Do you feel anything?
19:51When I tell you that.
19:52Yeah, I feel good.
19:55You feel good?
19:55He wasn't ever going to leave me alone.
19:57He wasn't ever going to leave me alone.
20:01Sam?
20:04I'm not his fucking brother.
20:07Had to get that into his head somehow.
20:09Pound it into his head, you mean?
20:11Are you sure there wasn't something more to it?
20:14Like more what?
20:16Like more complicated.
20:17Nah.
20:19Nah, I'm done talking.
20:23Sam?
20:25I said I'm done talking.
20:29This concludes the post-defense interview with Samuel Haig, age 17.
20:3310th of March, 2013 at 11.09am.
20:37With myself, Terry Dundee.
20:39Corrections counselor at Godhaven, HMYOI.
20:43I knew Haig better than most, which isn't saying much.
20:48Haig was fucking precious about everything.
20:51He wouldn't share sources.
20:53He wouldn't talk to anyone at the office when he even bothered to show up.
20:57But still, everyone thought he was so clever.
20:59But not you.
21:00I fucking knew the guy.
21:01I knew the reason he got on so well with people who crossed the line.
21:05He was one of them.
21:06How did you get the video?
21:07It was on his computer.
21:09Oh, you hacked Haig's computer.
21:10After he died?
21:11You say it like it doesn't make a difference.
21:13How did Haig get the video?
21:15Someone at Godhaven must have gave it to him.
21:17He'd been going back and forth to the place in the last few months before he died.
21:22Why?
21:23He was working on a story.
21:25Can we read it?
21:26Look, I've still got some standards.
21:28Oh, fuck off.
21:29You're a journalist.
21:29You do your own mother from behind.
21:31How does any of this help us in our investigation of Merrick Lingard?
21:33It helps you in your investigation into who killed Sam Haig.
21:36We're not investigating Haig's death.
21:38Well, maybe you should be.
21:40Sam found this kid.
21:42The one he was talking about in the video.
21:44The one he practically scalped to death.
21:46What is this kid's name?
21:47He called him X.
21:49To protect his identity.
21:50And how does Mr X relate to Merrick Lingard?
21:53Oh, wait. It doesn't.
21:55Unless Haig got screwed into whatever was happening with him and this kid from his past.
21:59Well, it sounds like something a crackerjack journey like you should look into.
22:02Talk to Terry Dundee.
22:05The other voice on the tape. The one talking to Sam.
22:08He's still at Godhaven.
22:09I've reached out myself, but he gave me the big fuck off about how the records are sealed.
22:14Well, this has been fascinating.
22:15Well, if you find anything, Mork, you be sure to remember me.
24:20Hello?
24:38Alright?
24:41What are you watching?
24:42This Folge on her name is Jeff Zarnoff, which I grabbed in a Storm then.
24:42You're all alone.
24:42Just some shite.
24:44Perfect.
24:45Quick!
24:47Well, I'm not going to get some shit.
24:48on your face earlier I've never seen it before even when you're super pissed off
24:53at me when you went after that guy you were like this guy I didn't even know
24:59yeah
25:15okay
25:22I'm two people yeah I have to be I see things most days that no one person can see that
25:28no one person
25:29can handle or should ever have to see in the first place to be honest like what what's the worst
25:33thing
25:34you've ever seen no I'm not going to do that to you I'm not going to put what's in my
25:37head into
25:38yours I didn't do it to your mom I'm certainly not going to do it to you why not because
25:41you live
25:41in a different world yeah there's no need for you to know the specifics of the other world beyond
25:46that it exists and that once in a blue moon something from over there crosses into here
25:50so the guy in the ice cream shop he knows that he wants to scare you by showing you the
25:55other world
25:56he wants to make you so afraid that he fucking owns you well you can't go through what you did
26:01without it stirring things up what like do you mean I'm gonna have have nightmares and shit well who
26:10knows what it'll be but if you get taken to the point you think you're gonna die or you're around
26:13death all of a sudden there's this menu of various and sundry shit that's just waiting to sneak up on
26:20are you just trying to scare me you're already scared that's the whole point you now know that
26:25things can change in an instant you and me were members of the same club yeah well I don't want
26:31to
26:31be in that club yeah well no one joins voluntarily fella people spend their whole lives trying to
26:38avoid that kind of calamity but you have to go to the meetings you have to speak to the other
26:46members
26:46of the club so that you know you're not the only one out there who's thinking and feeling the
26:51shit that you're thinking and feeling what so like you and hardy yeah like me and hardy and now me
27:03and
27:03you wait you you want to talk about it yeah when you need to sure about what happened
27:16about what's happening
27:21and maybe we should start with you telling me how thoroughly pissed off you are at me
27:25ruining things with your mum and then abandoning you when I was shot I mean that's that's not your
27:31fault you you couldn't help it no but you can still be mad no that's okay you're allowed to be
27:41fucking mad maybe let's have our first meeting about that I am here I'm listening promise
28:04morning
28:32not much of a fail is it
28:34police took one look at the height of that cliff and made the call right there I'd likely have done
28:39the same myself injuries consistent with traumatic fall from a great height as if there's a fall from
28:45a great height that's not traumatic okay so what's your problem outside of the timeline and the cause
28:50of death both being very fucking dodgy hmm the guy who found hague Paul Evans yeah yeah the
28:55climber instructor yeah he says he was with his wife the night before and found hague's body in the
29:00morning when he went to take pictures for the website okay but the day he found hague's body it
29:04was pouring rain but Scotland could have been rain when he woke up sun when he got there in a
29:09fucking
29:10blizzard when he went home he also sent about a dozen messages to hague's burner phone that night
29:14a few examples no more secrets I think you need to get everything out in the open this isn't about
29:22my wife I want you to know that I see you are you back at the hotel is she still
29:28there well hold on
29:29hold on who's she it's got to be merit and there was no response until the last message which said
29:35I'm
29:35going for a climb s and no one followed up on any of it well it's all irrelevant to hague's
29:41death
29:41once it was deemed accidental it's not irrelevant to merit hague and merit had been meeting up at
29:47the prince's garden hotel and hague's editor said that he had a burner phone for security so Evans
29:52was talking to hague about all that stuff about secrets and I see you and all that what you and
29:57Carl don't talk to each other like that I don't talk to my wife like that maybe you should
30:02hello Rose how you doing huh you want breakfast mr. grumpy arse I'm not hungry where you want to
30:08face the wee angel of darkness on an empty stomach I'm not hungry suit yourself for fuck's sake Rose
30:14you want anything cup of tea ah no thanks I've had too many cups already did you tell Ritesh to
30:21mow
30:21the lawn yeah why he's your carer not your gardener well the gardener needs more care than I do
30:26looks like shite and he's better off out there than for hovering around all the time
30:35angel of darkness physiologist who's either going to get me walking again or locked up for murder
30:40okay so tell me if Carl already shook the tree of Paul Evans then why are we having this conversation
30:50Evans the story's full of holes it's leaky as fuck most probably because he doesn't want anyone to know
30:54about his special friendship with Sam Hague or he knows more than he's saying about merit well if
30:59you think that then go back and pester him again ask him ask him what he's hiding what just come
31:06right out and ask him well why not that's what you want to know isn't it Paul Evans is not
31:10gonna
31:10tell me if he's hiding something well there's ways to ask and there's ways not to ask if you know
31:15what I
31:15mean depends on how big your balls are I don't even have well they're not that big wrong answer I'm
31:25serious
31:26Rose if that's true then what the fuck are you doing here try again I have very big balls there
31:39you go
31:39oh that was easy let's me and you figure out how you're going to fuck with Paul Evans
32:15so
32:20so
32:22so
32:42I don't know.
33:05I don't know.
33:38I don't know.
33:40I don't know.
33:40I don't know.
33:40I don't know.
33:42It's not fucking arsehole.
34:40It's not fucking arsehole.
35:07It's not fucking arsehole.
35:26It's not fucking arsehole.
35:40Oh, could you not?
35:45So I take it you found my home address by inappropriate means?
35:48Which is fair enough, given your abandonment of me.
35:52I've got to say, it's a nice place.
35:54I mean, a bit weird, but cute.
35:57Cute?
35:59It's like the 20-year-old you used to live here with your student mates.
36:0220-year-old me did live here with my student mates.
36:08What was your place like then?
36:10Like my ex-wife.
36:11So we both lived steeped in our own sad histories.
36:13Except I'll bet you had a lot more fun here.
36:15Not really.
36:16I was severely underweight and deeply depressed.
36:19Most of my 20s were spent weighing carrots and doing star jumps.
36:22Still sounds better than my marriage.
36:24I'd rather have gotten my suffering out of my 20s.
36:27And you know suffering, do you?
36:2815 years on the murder squad.
36:30I meant your own.
36:33So this is where you accuse me of self-pity, great.
36:36I don't accuse.
36:38I just observe.
36:41Have you met Dr. Sonnenberg?
36:43I have.
36:44And what did you think?
36:46She reminds me of my Aunt Enid.
36:48You know, the kind that likes to potter around the garden,
36:51making sure all the pansies are healthy,
36:53on top of all the bodies that are buried underneath.
36:56Anyway, I'm giving up on therapy.
36:58No, you can hardly give up on something you haven't tried.
37:01Martin, my lodger, says I should pay more attention to my dreams.
37:06Honestly, I can't remember the last one I had.
37:08I think you're supposed to write them down as soon as you wake up,
37:10before you forget.
37:11No, I meant I don't have them.
37:13You don't dream.
37:14I don't sleep.
37:16And you don't need therapy.
37:18I need sleep.
37:19Well, they have pills and things now.
37:21Mm, they scare me.
37:25You read about people all the time, you know,
37:27waking up after a sleeping pill
37:29and they've eaten everything in the fridge
37:31or the front door's open and the dog's got its lead on
37:33or you wake up naked next to their ex-girlfriend in the bathroom.
37:36Uh, why are you here, Carl?
37:41I don't know.
37:46I thought I did.
37:50But now I don't.
37:56Well, when you figure it out, you can come back and tell me.
38:03I think that's us for today.
38:08Listen.
38:27Yes.
38:30Yes.
38:45You know, I tried rock climbing once.
38:47I do Zimba now.
38:49I prefer to keep my feet on the ground.
38:51Right.
38:52What is it that brings you here, then?
38:54Oh.
38:56DC Dixon.
38:58I'm looking for Chloe Evans.
38:59Chloe?
39:00That's right.
39:01You just missed her.
39:03Are you sure?
39:04We had an appointment.
39:05I'm very sure.
39:06I'm her husband.
39:07She's gone to see her midwife.
39:09Oh.
39:11So you're a puddle.
39:14Okay.
39:17Um, is there something I can help you with?
39:21No.
39:21No, I don't think so.
39:23This is a follow-up appointment to a conversation I had with Chloe the other day, so...
39:28What conversation?
39:30I'm sorry.
39:31I can't share any information that's been brought to her attention.
39:34Yeah, but I'm her husband.
39:35Again.
39:36I'm sorry.
39:39You let her know that I was here, and, uh, have her give me a call on this number as
39:43soon as you can.
39:48Lovely to meet you, Paul.
39:49Let's at some.
40:06Shall I go to the other, or leave with me on this number?
40:07What?
40:07Fuck you.
40:07Bye.
40:08Bring bid.
40:08Bye.
40:08Bye.
40:09Bye.
40:10Bye.
40:11Bye.
40:13Bye.
40:15Bye.
40:38She told you, didn't she?
40:40You told me what, Bob?
40:42Ah! You're good right there.
40:44Is that mace?
40:45Pepper spray.
40:47I've also got a pair of brass knuckles in here.
40:49And a wee taser.
40:50You seriously think I want to hurt you?
40:52I know you don't want to get sprayed in the face.
40:54You even a real cop?
40:55I often ask myself the same question.
40:58But can I ask you about Sam Hague?
41:02Right, so Chloe did tell you about us.
41:04No, but you just did.
41:07The word us that did it.
41:09And it's totally fine, by the way.
41:11Oh, for fuck's sake, I'm not even gay.
41:13No.
41:15Of course you're not.
41:16Maybe he just wanted to experiment.
41:18I wasn't involved with Sam in any kind of sexual way.
41:21So how were you involved with Sam?
41:23When you climb, you become close.
41:25Trust is everything.
41:27I was the one person Sam felt he could say anything to.
41:29Such as?
41:30You name it.
41:31We'd get up on a cliff or a crag and...
41:35just talk.
41:36So climbing was like therapy,
41:37and Sam trusted you with the rope and all his deep dark secrets.
41:41Yeah, that's about it.
41:42So you were lying then?
41:43When you told the other detectives that you didn't know about Sam and Merit Lingard?
41:47Because of course he would have told you.
41:49I wasn't lying.
41:50Sam never mentioned her.
41:51Come on.
41:52You think with all that sharing going on, she would have came up once or twice?
41:54Well, she didn't.
41:55And I didn't think Sam was involved with anyone back then.
41:58What about the dozen or so texts you sent two days before?
42:01The ones with the bits like, we can't leave it like this.
42:04I see you.
42:05Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
42:05We'd all been drinking that night.
42:08And Sam was going on about his latest piece,
42:11saying he thought that it was going to change his life.
42:14And of course, Chloe, who never liked Sam,
42:16she was always annoyed with his secrecy.
42:18She said something along the lines of,
42:19well, that's good,
42:20because he needed to make some big fucking changes in his life
42:24or he was definitely going to die and take me with him.
42:27Then they had a big row and Sam left.
42:29And he went to the hotel?
42:30The one you mentioned in your texts.
42:33Are you at the hotel?
42:34Is she still there?
42:35I'm assuming that the she you were referring to was Merritt.
42:38Why would you assume that?
42:40Because Sam and Merritt had been meeting up at a hotel.
42:42And like I've told you several times now,
42:45you never mentioned her.
42:47Don't suppose you know the name of the hotel?
42:49Of course I do.
42:50It's up the road from us.
42:51It's called the Spivy Inn.
42:52The Spivy Inn?
42:53Aye.
42:55Really?
42:55And you're sure that's where he was?
42:57Yeah, very sure.
43:01And he wasn't with a woman?
43:04I didn't say that.
43:10It's not about Chloe.
43:12Is she still there?
43:14Oh, fuck me.
43:16I sent her back to apologise.
43:18Chloe went to see Sam?
43:20Aye.
43:20Alone?
43:21Well, I was too pissed to go anywhere.
43:23And did she apologise?
43:26Yeah, in a manner of speaking.
43:28What manner would that be?
43:30Well, like I said, we'd all been drinking.
43:35Oh.
43:38But...
43:38I thought you said that she didn't even like him.
43:41Sometimes it makes it better.
43:44Why didn't you tell all of this to the police back then?
43:46Because it was a one-time thing.
43:47Are you sure?
43:48I didn't kill Sam Haig.
43:49No-one said you did, but...
43:51Come on, did you kill Sam Haig?
43:53Of course not.
43:54I mean, he shacked your wife.
43:55Yeah, thank you.
43:57But I didn't know about that then.
43:59I was just worried because he wasn't responding to my texts.
44:02At least not until the last one he sent.
44:05No one said he was going for a climb.
44:11If you want to speak to me, or my wife again,
44:15call our lawyer.
44:29Good morning, Maire.
44:31It's a rubbish day.
44:34My favourite day of the month.
45:04Oh, yeah.
45:07Good morning.
45:09Is it?
45:10Good morning.
45:31Oh, just take your own sweet time.
45:34You and I live in your own shit for another month, that's fine by me.
45:38You manky bitch.
46:07You and I live in your own shit.
46:24You and I live in your own shit.
46:59You and I live in your own shit.
47:32You and I live in your own shit.
47:49Abby!
