Yeah that's him, that's Gareth O'Connor.

He knew he was going to his own execution.

He gave himself up to protect Nicole and their baby.

Why would Billy want to kill him?

He might've worked for him, maybe he crossed him, same as Gareth.

Rhodes never worked for Billy.

What about all the phone calls?

Who's she?

I'm his wife.

Given recent events,

the organisation require a change in who they deal with.

Mr Murdoch will take over day to day control.

You'll answer to him.

Are they still out there? Yep.

This is really starting to freak me out.

They've been there all night.

What if they are something to do with Billy Kennedy? I reckon they're polis.

Don't know if that makes me feel better or worse.

Maybe they think he's going to come back or... Whoa, just calm down, all right?

We're getting carried away.

Look, I need to nip down the cop shop this morning anyway.

I'll find out what's going on.

Are we not going to go and get Nicole and Grace?

I kind of thought that maybe you could do that. On my own?

I promised Nic that I would try and find Gareth.

I want to keep my word.

Gabriel, you've looked everywhere.

I know. But I reckon it's worth talking to the polis.

They've got to be watching Kennedy, right?

So maybe they've come across Gareth while they've been at it.

Someone doesn't just disappear.

He clearly doesn't want anything to do with Nicole or the baby.

Look, I don't like this situation any more than you do.

You know how I feel about O'Connor.

But for Nic's sake, she needs him around -

at least until she's on her feet and used to being a mum.

Just promise me you'll be here when we get home.

I don't want me and Nicole here on our own.

Sure. But just stop worrying, eh? We're safe.

If you say so.

That's the postmortem on Gareth O'Connor.

What we got?

Just what we thought - bullet fired from close range,

tissue damage suggests a silencer.

No evidence of struggle or force - some historical bruising.

Maybe they took him by surprise?

It wasn't an ambush. It was an execution.

He knew it was coming. In fact, the only surprise is

that he was clean and sober when he hit the deck.

I reckon if I was walking to the gallows,

I'd have needed a bit of Dutch courage.

Boy had guts, I'll give him that.

Shame he didn't have the guile to avoid Billy Kennedy.

Yeah, tell me about it.

We'll get him for this, Sir.

Will we?

Any joy scaring up some relatives?

The lads are still working on it, but nothing so far.

I think we'll be drawing blank on that one, Sir.

Coming up to 19 and not a soul in the world.

Well, there is Nicole Brodie.

Maybe it's time to tell her, Sir.

Yeah.

Remind me again what it is I like about this job?

PHONE RINGS

CID.

Yeah.

OK, I'll tell him.

That's Gabriel Brodie to see you, Sir, about Gareth O'Connor.

HE SIGHS

So, what can I do for you, Mr Brodie?

Well, I need to find him.

Gareth O'Connor.

Nicole, she's home from the hospital today and she needs him home.

Look, take a seat. You're all right.

Look, if I don't find him, she's going to go looking for him herself

and I don't even want to think where that's going to lead her.

How's she doing anyway?

Oh, aye. She's a 17-year-old girl with a brand-new baby

and a boyfriend that's AWOL. She's tickety-boo, thanks.

Look, come on, help me out here.

You keep going on about how yous're all over Kennedy

so you must have a fair idea where his boys are.

Look, I'm really sorry, Mr Brodie, but Gareth O'Connor's dead.

(What?)

Three days?

Well, we've a duty to inform the next of kin first.

But we're having trouble tracking some down.

I mean how hard can that be?

Well, not all families are as close as yours, Mr Brodie.

Look, I'm breaching protocol even having this conversation.

The only reason I'm doing it is for Nicole.

So, this information goes no further, OK?

All right, all right.

So, tell me, how did it happen?

Sorry. I can't go into details.

Not while there's a criminal investigation ongoing.

Criminal? So it wasn't an accident?

Mr Brodie... Kennedy.

OK, I think we're done here.

Kennedy took him out, didn't he?

I mean, he's round at Leyla's, stabbing a photo of O'Connor

into the door and a couple of days later he turns up dead.

Mr Brodie... I'm right, aren't I?

Now, wait a minute, there's a car parked outside our place.

Are they coppers?

Protection officers.

So, what, you still think we're in danger? No, no, no.

Now that we've found O'Connor, I'll put in to have them removed.

Well, here's a radical suggestion for you.

Why don't you get Kennedy removed?

I mean, what does the guy need to do?

Wipe out half the city before yous arrest him?

Mr Brodie, I'm very sorry for your loss. You have our condolences.

Thanks. But I'd rather have Kennedy behind bars.

I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you.

It's OK.

You look exhausted.

I mean, of course you do, you've just a baby.

That was the easy bit.

I just woke up and she was here.

And now? What are they saying?

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, I will be if I can ever get in touch with Gareth.

He's not here?

I don't know. He was here, but I haven't heard from him since.

Right... Where's Grace?

She's in my room. I just can't get a reception in there.

And that's all right, is it? You not being in with her?

Yeah, the midwives are in and out all the time.

Come on then, are you going to take me to meet my new granddaughter?

Never thought I'd hear myself saying that at this age.

Nic, she's gorgeous, I can't take my eyes off of her.

So sorry I'm late...

Oh!

There's a welcome! Oh, my goodness!

I'm so happy you're home.

Like I wasn't going to get on the first flight I could.

Has Gabriel found Gareth yet?

Erm, you know, he's working on it.

So, no, he hasn't found him?

He's not going be there when I get home.

Nic, don't worry.

If Gareth's half the guy you say he is, he'll show up.

Yeah. You're right.

Hey!

Gareth O'Connor's dead.

I know.

And when did anybody think of telling me the big secret?

I came to you looking for him! Did you know then?

Or were you just telling me porkies? Is this going somewhere?

It was Kennedy, wasn't it?

How would I know?

Oh, come on, man, it's me you're talking to.

I worked for you lot, I know how you operate.

Do your own maths then.

So what happened? What, are you saying he ripped off Kennedy?

Cutting up the gear? What? What difference does it make?

So, what, he was taken out?

Believe what you want. Oh, God!

Who else knows about this? You, the polis, who else?

Nicole needs to hear this from me, Lenny, not somebody else.

How long have I got?

Better out than in, eh?

Is that all this is to you? What, it's just a big joke?

A boy gets washed up, it's all just in a day's work for you, eh?

Just water off a duck's back.

Look, I'm sorry you've got bad news to break all right?

But it's not my problem.

It never, is it? But, hey, don't let me keep you.

You're probably feeling the cold.

You better get back to Kennedy's nice, warm pocket.

You tell Nicole I'm sorry for her loss.

If there's anything I can do. Nah, there's not.

Stevie.

GROGGILY: What?

Wake up.

What time is it? Time we were at work.

Five minutes. No!

You dressed?

Aye, I've been up for ages.

What for? Get back in here.

No, we've not got time.

Stella, I can do fast.

Stop it, see you over the road.

I'll fire some clothes on.

Erm... No, I'll go over first, then you can come over.

We can't keep this a secret for ever.

How not?

Well, we're serious, aren't we?

Aye, of course we are. It's just... It's complicated, isn't it?

No, it's not. Before, that was complicated. This is simple.

We love each other. We want to be together. We are together. End of.

You make it sound dead easy.

HE SIGHS

I don't want to hide how I feel about you.

No' any more.

I know, but what if we tell everybody

and then it all goes wrong again?

It won't.

I love you.

I love you too.

Come here.

Are you all right there, Liz?

I've just realised that I left the card I've bought for Nicole

and the baby on the counter in the Mini Market.

Honestly, think I'm losing the plot.

I don't think there's any chance of that.

I'm just going to pop back and get it

cos they'll be home from the hospital this morning you know.

Oh, so the baby's doing well, then?

Yes. Fine, from what I hear.

What about you and Stevie?

What?

Well, what are you thinking... baby-wise?

I was assuming that you'd be sending a card or even

a gift from the pub?

Right, aye, probably. We'll sort something out.

Well, don't go relying on the Mini Market for your card.

They have a very limited selection.

SHE LAUGHS

What's happening there?

A new pharmacy. Opening any day.

Just in time!

Oh, here they come!

Let me see!

Welcome home!

Aw, isn't she gorgeous, Malcolm? Look at her!

So precious and delicate, and so tiny.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Listen, this is nothing fancy just a wee outfit, so

if it doesn't fit just let me know, I've got the receipt somewhere.

Thanks, you didn't have to do that.

Not at all. The least we could do.

You know, I always feel we should be more than neighbours.

What with Gabriel being her great-uncle...

I just feel she's practically family.

Yeah, OK.

What did you call her in the end?

Grace.

Aw, lovely. You cannae beat a nice old-fashioned name, eh?

Yes, all the rage these days. Oh, my goodness!

Leyla! You're back from your holiday.

Yeah, I wasn't really on holiday Liz, I was visiting my mum and dad.

Right, shall we take little Grace inside?

Please. My arm's going to drop off.

Now, listen, Nicole, if there's anything you need, dear,

just let us know, anything.

Thanks. But I'll be fine. I've got Leyla.

And Gareth'll be back soon.

Och, has he been away too?

I better go. But thanks again for the present.

No bother.

Yes, no, as long as I get it before 12 that's fine.

OK, fine.

Robbie, check this out.

Who's she?

That is your 12 o'clock.

But you better not botch her highlights or you'll

lose your kneecaps.

It's him! I've seen him in the pub. He gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Of course he knows Lenny, and he's just out the jail.

You know the classiest people(!)

Welcome, hello. Come on in.

Mandy Kennedy. I've an appointment at 12.

I'm Robbie, pleased to meet you.

Why don't we take a wee seat

and we can have a chat about what you want done? OK.

Kelly Marie will see to you.

Hi, over this way.

Oh! Oh! I've been trying to get you all morning.

Is that right? Come on, get in.

A prior engagement, mate.

Have you heard anything?

About what?

O'Connor. Where the police are with it?

All I know is that the polis have no' come knocking.

How? What have you heard? Nothing.

There you go, then, no news is good news.

Right, Robbie'll be with you in a minute.

Can I get you a tea or coffee or anything?

No, thanks. OK.

Was there something else?

No. Sorry. I'll just go and my own stuff.

Oh, no, you don't.

Just hear me out, eh? I'm no' interested.

I know. If the shoe was on the other foot I'd feel exactly the same.

But we've got to put things right here. Not possible.

We can talk in here in front of people or we can step outside.

Right, you've got 30 seconds.

Look, I don't want or need your sympathy, but what about Cal?

He wants to see his granda.

Every time I go near him, he's getting dragged away. The boy's confused.

Why don't I go behind the desk and get a wee violin for you(?)

It's one thing you trying to protect him.

It's another thing, him thinking I don't want to spend time with him any more.

I'm no psychologist but him thinking his granda's ditched him,

that's not going to do him much good, is it?

He doesnae think that.

Are you sure?

Lenny, you blew it.

Aye, all right, all right. And I'm sorry.

But you punishing me, you're punishing Cal as well.

Right, are we done here?

Kelly. What?

Nobody's ever going to hurt Cal ever again.

I'm going to see to it.

The fastenings are so fiddly.

And every time I try to get her arms in, I feel like I'm going to break them off.

You'll get used to it.

In a couple of weeks you'll wonder what you were worried about.

Maybe.

Still nothing?

Gabriel promised he'll find him.

You know, the thing is, Nic,

someone like Gareth could be really hard to find.

He could be anywhere.

Now that we're home, he'll be back. Yeah, but...

Tell you what, why don't you go and have a lie down and then

we can go into town and register Grace?

Well, I was kind of hoping I would do that with Gareth.

Nic, I know you're really into him but do you really want to be

with a guy who has to be hunted down and made to come home?

Thanks, Zinnie. I've got this one.

Do you think I am being stupid? Wanting him to come back?

Nic, you've just had a baby.

It's natural not to want to be on your own.

It's more than that.

I love him.

I know.

How about I put this in the bins

and we can sit down and have a proper catch up?

Thanks, Leyla.

I'm glad you're back.

Yeah, so am I.

Oh, hi, Stella.

Hiya, I was just going to shove that through the letter box for Nicole.

Oh, that's really kind of you.

Why don't you take it in to her?

I need to get back to work.

It'll only take a minute. I think she could use a visitor.

OK, just two minutes, then.

Absolutely. Go on in. She's in the living room.

How long have you been there for?

I'm really sorry.

But after the last few days, you're a sight for sore eyes.

Zinnie said the same thing. Didn't realise I was so indispensable.

Who'd have thought it, eh?

So...how have you been?

Good. Really good.

Look, I just want to put everything that happened behind us.

I'm here to look after Nicole and Grace. They're all that matters now. That's fine by me.

But they're going to need you now, more than you know.

Why? What's happened?

Gareth O'Connor, he's dead.

What?

She's beautiful, Nicole. She's so teeny!

Thanks for the card, that's lovely.

No, nae bother.

So, is Gareth in?

No, he's away out.

All right, OK.

So, does this mean you and Stevie are a couple again, then?

What?!

Just cos it says it's from you and Stevie.

All right, aye.

Sorry, Stevie wrote it.

It's supposed to be from the pub, not just me and him.

Oh, right.

Wouldn't bother me if you are together. I'm with Gareth now, so...

We're no' a couple. It's...

We're just pals, OK?

Erm...I'm going to need to get back to work anyway.

But congratulations again.

From all of us.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Baby's gorgeous.

Thanks. See you about, eh?

Nic, have you got a sec?

Check out all these cards. Folk are nice, eh?

Nic, come and sit down.

I don't even know half these people.

This one's from one of Dad's old friends.

Nicole...

I'm so sorry.

It's not good.

Gareth...

He died three days ago.

I'm so sorry...

Stop!

I hate him!

No! How could he leave us?

PIANO MUSIC, VOICES INDISTINCT

I put some sugar in it. I thought it might help with the shock.

Right, well. You probably want some time to yourself.

I don't know. Do you?

OK, I'll go and check on Grace.

I knew there was something wrong.

I've known it all along.

He would never leave us.

SHE SIGHS

What am I supposed to do without him?

Grace is so, so tiny!

I can't even pick her up in case I drop her.

Gareth was going to help me. He said he was brilliant with kids.

He was going to be the best dad.

And you're going to be a brilliant mum, I promise you.

I haven't got a clue!

None of us have a clue at the start.

But you're not on your own. We're all here to help.

He tried to talk to me, you know.

He tried to explain all this.

But I wouldn't listen.

When I found out about Molly I was just so angry, and...

..now it's my fault that he's dead.

No, Nic, don't think that, no.

He knew I didn't want him working for Billy Kennedy, so...

OK, but what's that got to do with anything?

Gareth was working for the police.

He was a...a grass.

He thought he could get Kennedy put away for good.

Are you sure about that?

Why do you think he's dead?

Kennedy obviously found out.

Can I have a word?

Did you see Gareth when you were over there?

No, he was out. Out where?

I don't know. What was all that about with the card?

The way you signed it.

Nicole thought it was from me and you. It was.

It was supposed to be from the pub.

She's guessed that we're together, by the way,

so if that was your plan then it worked.

I never thought, I just wrote the thing!

I know.

It's just, see since we talked this morning,

I feel as if everybody's trying to out us.

I'm sure Nicole's got enough on her plate to be gossiping about us.

Aye, I suppose.

Maybe this'll make up for it, though.

How do you fancy an all-expenses-paid

weekend in Amsterdam?

What, seriously?

What's that?

A letter from the brewery.

It turns out The Tall Ship's one of their best customers

so they're sending me on a mad...promo thing.

It's probably to get us to buy more beer off them,

but I can live with that.

Right.

So, what d'you say?

It sounds brilliant, but we're not going to get the time off together.

Not at the weekend. Aye, we will. I'll fix it with Lenny.

Aye, and say what?

I don't know. The truth, maybe?

I want a weekend away with my beautiful girlfriend.

Ho, we agreed! Oh, come on, Stella!

We're never gonnae get a chance like this again.

It's not as if we can afford it ourselves, is it?

I know, it's just I really don't want anybody

putting two and two together.

Leave it with me. I'll sort it.

You're not going to tell him, are you? No, I'm not.

So, do you live in Spain all year round, then?

Yeah, pretty much. I've got a bar there.

Really? You mean you've actually got a proper job?

Why wouldn't I?

Er... Och, I dunno. Just some women don't, do they?

Especially when you're married to a...

successful guy.

Kelly, is there not some nail polish you need sorting out?

Aye.

Are you married?

Me? Och, no, I wish.

I've had a few near misses, but that's about the extent of it.

Kind of given up where all that's concerned.

Never say never. I was older when I met my husband.

Aye?

At least that way you've got some experience behind you.

When you meet a guy you know what you're getting into.

Either that or you're so desperate you'll settle for anything. Kelly!

Oh! I didnae mean... I'm not saying that's what you did.

Go and see what he wants, will you? Aye, right.

I'm so sorry about her. She's on day release.

You have just saved my bacon.

Yeah?

Aye, he's just finishing up with a client.

Billy Kennedy's wife.

Really?

In fact, speak of the devil.

It's all going on in here this morning, isn't it?

So, shall we book you in for a six-week appointment?

No, thanks. I won't be here.

I'm hoping to get back to Spain soon as.

Oh, that's a shame.

Well, if you're ever back in town, you know where we are.

Yeah, thanks.

BILLY: That you then?

Well, give us a twirl.

Yeah, right. Come on.

Like it?

Looks exactly the same as it did when you came in,

but what do I know?

Either way, petal, you're as lovely as ever.

Keep the change.

Oh, thanks. Very generous.

Adios!

What does she see in him?

HE SIGHS

Search me.

FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRS

Can I have a word?

What is it?

Well, I might have some...

staffing issues in the very near future.

Sort it.

Well, me and Stella both need the same weekend off.

Not together, separate - it's just a really random...

coincidence.

Sort it, I said.

Right. I'll do that.

Hey.

Get Scarlett to cover.

Scar...?

You sacked her, but.

Well, un-sack her.

Fair dos.

I cannae believe I didnae work it out.

Gareth could have lied to Nicole, make himself look better?

No. It all makes too much sense.

It explains the cop car out here for the last few days.

All the protection at the hospital.

I mean, what kind of mess was Gareth in that he ended up turning grass?

Maybe he just wanted a normal life?

No. Not possible.

Once Kennedy's in, he's in.

Gareth would have known that.

How is she?

Not great. I've phoned the surgery and spoken to Miriam.

She's prescribed some sleeping pills.

Tattie needs to check on Nic, anyway,

so she's bringing them with her just now.

BABY CRIES GENTLY

That's all we need.

Maybe she's just hungry?

No, she's just had a big feed.

Why don't you take her out for a bit?

She might drop off in the pram.

Hey, no-one's going anywhere.

Gabriel, we can't be prisoners in our own home.

I want everyone where I can see them, all right?

Look, from what you've told me,

it sounds like Kennedy was never interested in us.

It was Gareth he was after.

And even if he does come back, you can't protect us 24/7.

It's just not possible.

Go on. Off you go.

Hey, just once round the block, right?

Sure.

Gabriel, you need to calm down.

I'm not sure I know how to.

There you go.

So, did you talk to Lenny, then?

Sure did. And?

Sorted. It's covered.

What, and he didnae suspect anything?

No! I played a blinder.

Brilliant!

So, why don't you take these, have a wee gander at them,

see where you want to go when we're there.

OK.

You get my message, then?

yous lot didnae last long, did yous?

What's the matter? Cannae cope without me?

It wasnae me that sacked you, it was Lenny.

I never had you down as a thief. Aye, cos I'm not.

Right, here's my terms -

I want a pay rise, plus a pick of the shifts.

Hold on! It's just the weekend I'm offering you.

We'll see what happens after that.

Before I agree, I want to know who I'm on with,

cos I'm not getting set up again.

It'll just be you, a couple of part-timers.

Me and Stella are both off that weekend.

What?

The manager and the charge hand off at the same time?

Whose bright idea was that?

It's just the way it worked out.

yous are at it again, aren't you?

No!

Have you not done enough damage?

Scarlett, we're not doing anything wrong.

Try telling that to my son!

Oh, this is brilliant, so it is!

Bad enough you've trashed his marriage,

now he cannae have a swally down his local

without watching yous two slobbering over one another!

Rubbing his nose in it! We're not! We wouldnae!

You want cover for your dirty weekend?

You can sing for it, pal!

Aye, nice one(!)

Oh, come on, come on.

This is not "once round the block".

Where've they got to?

How is she?

I've left her a couple of the pills.

You better take the rest.

Sleep might be the best thing for the shock.

Where's baby Grace?

Good question. I'm going to find them.

Look, how many times! I never told her, she sussed it.

At least this way it's out, we can get on with our lives.

Aye, in misery.

She'll get over it.

I'll get somebody else to do the weekend.

I don't know if you should bother.

How not?

A recovering alkie and an ex-junkie

on a brewery tour in the dope capital of Europe?

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke.

It's not just coffee shops out there.

There's other things and all. Like what?

Like...tulips, and all that.

Well, we're never gonnae know, are we?

Unless we get the weekend off.

Ho! We're waiting on drinks here.

Here you are, one white wine and one whisky.

Thanks very much.

Sorry about that.

Thanks, doll.

PHONE RINGS

I need to take this outside.

Mrs Kennedy.

Thought you might be wanting this back.

You stole my lighter?

I recovered lost property

and now I'm returning it to its rightful owner.

Detective Constable Will Cooper. CID.

And there was me thinking you were chatting me up.

Just hold on to that number.

You might need it.

Funnily enough, my husband doesn't like me taking other men's numbers.

Well, he doesn't need to know.

Why don't we cut the preliminaries

and you tell me what you want to know?

OK. What are you doing here?

I'm on holiday.

October? In Glasgow?

If you're looking to top up your tan, Mrs Kennedy,

you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Don't assume you know me, Mr...Cooper.

Hi.

Has Zinnie been in here with baby Grace?

No, sorry. How, is there a problem?

No, no. It's all good mate.

We having a nice time here?

Bad timing, Gabriel.

Oh. You're telling me.

You know, I've got a niece at home in bits,

while you're sat on your jacksie having a nice wee relax.

Well, I tell you what, why don't you get yourself out there

and figure out who killed Gareth O'Connor?

Like you don't already know.

Nice to see the constabulary has the full confidence of the locals.

What did he want?

He's a copper. Aye, I know.

He was just fishing.

Wanting to know what I'm doing here. What did you tell him?

I told him I'd tell him as soon as I knew myself.

Give me a break, will you?

I'm serious, Billy.

I don't care what you get up to, but when it starts affecting me...

I told you, you'll be back in a couple of weeks.

I've got a few wee problems to sort out.

Then sort them. I want to go home.

Look if it's the price that's a problem, I can do you a deal.

HE SIGHS

All right, well, what are they offering you?

What?

I cannae compete with that.

Aye. Aye, all right.

But if you ever change your mind, you know where I am.

Right, cheers.

Did you know about this?

Ma, I'm trying to work here.

Never mind that.

Stella and Stevie are back together.

Oh, right.

Is that it?

Is that's all you've got to say about it?

You're just gonnae take it? I don't have a choice, do I?

She's not my wife anymore.

Maybe she would be if you'd a bit more gumption about you.

Wow.

Thanks for that.

I'm sorry. I'm just saying you're too soft.

And it's no' just you.

They two are making a fool out of us.

Stevie's just tried to trick me into covering the bar for him,

so's he can take Stella away on a dirty weekend.

Ma, I'm not interested.

What about when they're canoodling behind that bar in front of all of us?

Rubbing your nose in it? Will you be interested then?

No, cos I've got more important things to worry about, all right?!

Fine, if you're not wanting to stick up for yourself,

we'll just to do it for you. Family meeting tonight. The Ship.

Six o'clock. What? Why?

I'd like to see them trying to paw one another

when we're all sat on the other side of the bar.

Will you just let it go?

No. Nobody's making a monkey out of my Bubba.

You be there...or no'. It's up to you.

Whoa, whoa!

You all right there?

Wait, wait. Just want a swatch at the wee yin.

Oh, she's a wee doll. You're a wee doll.

Isn't she, Mandy?

Yeah. She's gorgeous. Lovely.

I have to go.

Wait, wait, wait. I've got something for her.

I'm sorry I've not got any silver. It's just gonnae be paper.

Listen, pet, I hope there are no hard feelings about that wee visit

I paid yous the other day, it was just business.

Hey, hey, you stay away from that baby!

And stay away from my family, d'you understand?

What's going on? Unprovoked assault, that's what's going on!

What do you mean unprovoked assault?! Where'd you want to start?

How about with Gareth O'Connor?

Think, think about what you're doing.

You all right, Billy, d'you need a help?

Don't touch us, ya pig.

What, are you just gonnae take that from him, aye?

See? This is why we're here with all this.

Because he gets to stroll about as if he owns the place

and all you lot, you won't do anything! What is it, Will?

Are you scared of him or has he got you in his inside pocket?

Gabriel! That's enough, just pack it in, right?

Come on. We're going.

Any of you want me, you know where I am.

Go.

Are you OK?

Michael, this one needs took up to town.

I don't need...

Just... Just beat it.

Look, I'm sorry, right? But somebody had to do it.

No! No, they didn't!

I saw him... leaning over wee Gracie's pram.

There was no way I was having that!

You're up?

I woke up and she wasn't there.

You needn't have worried, she's been absolutely fine.

Well, I think I'll just take her upstairs.

Put her in her Moses basket.

You're going to need to get her out of those outdoor things.

I know. I can manage.

D'you know what Kennedy said?

Right before you went and punched him in the face?

He said he didn't have any hard feelings with us.

He was going to leave us alone.

All right. I get it. I blew it.

Look, I need to bolt up that door.

Well, that was an interesting little display out there.

I told you to watch him. That Brodie doesn't know what he's done.

How d'you no' see him coming?

Don't worry. He'll no' see me either.

No. This ends here.

Last thing we need is any more police attention.

Or another body turning up.

You tend to your business, son, and I'll tend to mine.

I don't have any business, Billy, except to keep things running smoothly.

Which is why I'm telling you to let this go.

Or what?

Gabriel Brodie is an irritant. Nothing more.

Don't let him distract you from the matter in hand.

I make my own decisions.

As long as you understand they'll have consequences.

For everyone.

Now d'you get why I didn't want anybody to know?

I'm sorry.

So you keep saying.

Well, this is tense.

Aye, well, you reap what you sow.

They've sowed. Now they can reap.

Ma, what are you even talking about?

I cannae stop them humiliating Bubba behind closed doors.

But I won't let them dae it in front of a whole pub.

Not on my watch.

Right, so...what?

You're going to park yourself here for the rest of your days?

Ach, who cares as long as there's a bevy in it?

Time for another round. Who's paying?

I'm going home.

You stay where you are! Show her you're not bothered.

I'm no' bothered.

How can you no' be?

Ma, me and Stella are finished.

There's nothing I can do about it, even if I wanted to - which I don't.

So just...live with it, eh?

There's something I want to watch on the telly. See yous later.

Is that clear enough for you?

And anyway, you shouldn't be turning down good work,

not on a stupid principle.

Stevie?

Don't you dare! Aye?

My ma will cover the bar for you, when you and Stella are away.

Won't you, Ma?

Aye. If I have to.

Sorry, Scarlett, but when you said no, I got somebody else in.

Fine! I don't want your poxy job anyway.

Come on, you. Come on, we're going up the road.

I'm waiting for my top-up.

Thanks anyway, Stevie. You didn't have to offer her work.

It wasn't my idea. It was Lenny's.

Whatever.

Scarlett, wait!

I'm sorry. All right? I'm really sorry.

Oh aye, and that covers it?

No. But I mean it.

I'm sorry that me and Bob messed up.

Bob? Bob never jumped into bed with Stevie Burns!

No, but we both screwed up our marriage.

Did you ever love him?

You know I did.

Don't know what I know any more.

Was there something more I could have done?

How d'you mean?

I know we didn't get on all the time.

I know I gave myself a pure showing up at your wedding...

But I made sure you were part of our family, didn't I?

Didn't I?

I never knew what a proper family was until yous took me in.

There was nothing more you could have done.

None of this is your fault.

Just like none of it can be fixed.

All I want to do is get on with the rest of my life.

And if I know Bob, that's what he wants an' all.

I need to get home. Jimmy's got Madonna.

See you.

Everything all right?

Aye, fine. C'mon.

She said she wanted to talk to the police so I called them.

Have you lost the plot?

If she talks out against Kennedy, she'll be as dead as Gareth.

She's not talking out against Kennedy.

She's asking if she can bury Gareth.

Sorry!

I'll call you once I get back to the station.

Let you know where we are.

Thanks very much.

If they don't find any next of kin then the body can be released to me.

And I can start organising something.

You're just out of hospital, Nic, you need to take it easy.

I don't need your opinion on this, Gabriel. I'm doing it.

Just let me know what needs to be done and I'll do it.

Thanks again.

Actually, I'm glad you're here.

I made a bit of a mistake earlier.

Understatement.

You heard?

Your kamikaze mission is the talk of the station.

Somebody had to take a stand.

We are going to get him.

Yeah, so you keep saying.

I'll leave you to it.

You know where we are if you need us.

I think I'll have those protection officers reinstated, don't you?

Long term we might want to think about having a panic button installed.

Thanks.

Here.

What's that?

Gareth left it, for you and Grace.

Maybe it'll help you with the funeral.

And here.

And this.

Where was that?

He left it downstairs.

He did love me.

And Grace.

Yeah. Yeah, he did.

Leave it, Billy.

I'll leave you to it.

Upstairs now.

Why?

Just go, please.

Go.

DOOR BELL RINGS

What do you want?

You never took the money.

I don't want it.

It's not yours to refuse. It's for the baby.

It's just... It's just my way of making things up to her.

You're all right.

What's your game?

I've not got one.

No?

Here.

You'll keep.

I think you should stay.

And...I thought that maybe you could bring your stuff over here an' all.

Mind if I come in for a minute?

Oh, my God, is it Mark?

Nice wee lassie down the job centre helped me print this up.

So, when do I start?

Is there any chance I could stay tonight?

Me and St... Look don't bother yourself.

I know the drill, boyfriend first, family last.

Sadie's boy's going to bring it round on Thursday morn...

Oh...

Malcolm!

My wee brother would never hurt anybody.

Of course he would, he's a lying, thieving junkie.

He'll dae anything!

Are you seriously asking me to choose between him and you?
