I'm not backing down. I can't.

0:00:210:00:24

Well, if you're fine everybody knowing Raymond's a murderer

0:00:240:00:27

and you're an accessory...

0:00:270:00:28

I'm offering my unconditional support to this development,

0:00:280:00:32

thank you.

0:00:320:00:34

I need you to ask questions.

0:00:340:00:35

So, who put Murdoch onto Donachie?

0:00:370:00:39

I don't know.

0:00:390:00:40

Maybe you should speak to the man that brought Murdoch

0:00:400:00:43

into the development. You'll find him at the Council Chambers.

0:00:430:00:47

Lenny Murdoch - friend of yours?

0:00:470:00:49

It is my fault.

0:00:530:00:54

I told him to go away, I told him I didn't want him any more!

0:00:540:00:58

It's OK, it's OK.

0:00:580:01:00

'This little piggy got roast beef,'

0:02:160:02:18

and this little piggy had none,

0:02:180:02:22

and this little piggy went, "Wee wee wee wee"...

0:02:220:02:24

Right, that's me ready. I've done packed lunch for Stuart for nursery.

0:02:240:02:29

You sure you're going to be all right taking him?

0:02:290:02:31

Oh, yes, of course, dear.

0:02:310:02:33

Stuart...?

0:02:330:02:34

I need to go to work!

0:02:370:02:39

Eileen!

0:03:060:03:07

-Is that you heading back to the office?

-Yeah.

0:03:070:03:10

-I would have opened up by now, but I thought I'd get you these.

-Thanks.

0:03:100:03:14

So. First day back. How you feeling?

0:03:140:03:17

How's Stuart?

0:03:190:03:20

I don't know.

0:03:200:03:21

I think he realises that something's happened, but...

0:03:210:03:24

I don't think he understands just what yet.

0:03:240:03:26

He hasn't left my side for days.

0:03:280:03:30

Eileen, you sure you're ready for this?

0:03:300:03:32

I can look after things for as long as it takes.

0:03:320:03:35

No, you're fine, I just need to get back to some kind of normality.

0:03:350:03:39

Right, well, I can finish this

0:03:530:03:55

through the back, but if you need me...

0:03:550:03:57

It's good to see you back.

0:04:010:04:03

I know it might seem hard at first, but just having that outlet...

0:04:030:04:07

I know that was a big help for me when my Christine passed away.

0:04:070:04:11

So what can I do for you, Frank?

0:04:140:04:16

I'm really glad we had that chat the other day.

0:04:170:04:19

After the funeral.

0:04:190:04:21

Anyway, I've added an item to the Council agenda for later.

0:04:240:04:29

Myself and Councillor Greer will be briefing some of the councillors

0:04:290:04:32

from this and surrounding areas.

0:04:320:04:34

I'd really like you to be there.

0:04:340:04:36

Ronnie Greer? From Regeneration?

0:04:370:04:40

Look, don't worry about it.

0:04:400:04:41

From now on, I'd like you working alongside me.

0:04:410:04:45

I really think we can do great things together.

0:04:460:04:48

CHATTER

0:05:020:05:05

Morning, everyone. Take a seat.

0:05:210:05:23

Thank you.

0:05:230:05:24

Ladies, gents. Councillor Greer.

0:05:260:05:28

Many of you will be familiar with the Lowtherhill development -

0:05:280:05:32

a project taking place over in Shieldinch, which is

0:05:320:05:36

Councillor Donachie's ward.

0:05:360:05:38

I think it's only fair to say that Eileen and myself have worked

0:05:380:05:42

pretty tirelessly in support of that development.

0:05:420:05:45

The new investment it was set to bring in, the new jobs...

0:05:450:05:47

Eileen in particular has shown extraordinary commitment throughout.

0:05:470:05:52

I'd also like to commend Eileen for being here today...

0:05:530:05:56

I think I can speak for everyone when I say,

0:05:560:05:59

our deepest sympathy for your tragic loss.

0:05:590:06:02

PEOPLE MURMUR AGREEMENT

0:06:020:06:03

Now, unfortunately, though, despite our best efforts, I'm here to

0:06:030:06:07

recommend that we withdraw Council support for Lowtherhill.

0:06:070:06:12

I met yesterday with our Head of Regeneration

0:06:120:06:14

and Development, Councillor Greer,

0:06:140:06:16

and he agrees it's the best course of action to take.

0:06:160:06:19

The sad fact of the matter is,

0:06:190:06:22

too many mistakes were made on that project.

0:06:220:06:24

And some of that must fall at my door.

0:06:240:06:27

I underestimated the strength of public opposition.

0:06:270:06:31

But, over and above that, I put too much faith in the developers,

0:06:310:06:36

and they've badly let us down.

0:06:360:06:38

So that's why I'm here, and that's the reasons why

0:06:390:06:42

I'm proposing we put this to a vote.

0:06:420:06:45

Ronnie?

0:06:450:06:46

OK, everyone. I think a simple show of hands will do.

0:06:480:06:52

All those in favour of Frank's proposal to withdraw support?

0:06:520:06:56

All those against?

0:07:000:07:01

Very good. The motion is passed.

0:07:070:07:11

Now, on to item two...

0:07:110:07:13

Eileen?

0:07:230:07:24

Ronnie.

0:07:240:07:26

Well, that was quite an endorsement.

0:07:260:07:29

And I'd like to echo what Frank said.

0:07:290:07:32

We're all very pleased to have you back.

0:07:320:07:34

A shame about Lowtherhill, though. I know how hard you fought.

0:07:370:07:41

Still, after what Frank told me, there was little could be done.

0:07:410:07:46

Yeah? What did Frank tell you?

0:07:460:07:48

Well, about the failings of the team behind the development.

0:07:480:07:51

The debacle over them not identifying the chromium on that land.

0:07:510:07:55

Once that hit the press, it was always going to be difficult

0:07:550:07:58

to win the public's trust back.

0:07:580:08:01

Yeah, well, I'm not sure he ever deserved the public's trust

0:08:010:08:04

in the first place.

0:08:040:08:05

Look, I know how much that project meant to you.

0:08:050:08:09

I was NEVER in favour of that development.

0:08:090:08:12

But you just voted against withdrawing support.

0:08:120:08:15

Because Frank railroaded me into getting behind it.

0:08:150:08:19

I could hardly give it up after publicly backing it for so long!

0:08:190:08:23

Can we talk somewhere? In private.

0:08:260:08:29

Eileen, what's brought this on?

0:08:410:08:42

I always thought the two of you worked well together.

0:08:420:08:45

I just think that, after everything that's gone on with that project,

0:08:470:08:51

that there should be some sort of investigation -

0:08:510:08:55

into what went wrong, into the way things were handled,

0:08:550:08:58

into Frank, and exactly what he knew.

0:08:580:09:02

The type of investigation you're talking about

0:09:020:09:04

would have to be precipitated by a formal complaint.

0:09:040:09:07

And that in itself would have to be based on some pretty serious

0:09:070:09:11

evidence of misconduct on Frank's part.

0:09:110:09:13

Now, unless there's something I should know...

0:09:140:09:17

If you have evidence of that kind?

0:09:170:09:19

No.

0:09:210:09:23

Well, then I urge you...

0:09:230:09:25

just be careful in what you say.

0:09:250:09:28

Because it won't do anyone any good to have you

0:09:280:09:31

making unsubstantiated claims.

0:09:310:09:32

Eileen,

0:09:490:09:51

believe me, that wasn't an easy decision to make.

0:09:510:09:55

But the project has caused so many divisions,

0:09:550:09:57

it just seemed like the right thing to do.

0:09:570:10:00

What?

0:10:020:10:03

Nothing.

0:10:040:10:05

Hi, Frank, I, er...I've got to dash.

0:10:070:10:11

I'll speak to you later, OK?

0:10:110:10:13

All right?

0:10:240:10:25

I just wanted to see how you were doing.

0:10:270:10:29

-If you'd heard anything from the police?

-Nothing.

0:10:290:10:32

And I'm hoping it stays that way.

0:10:320:10:35

They asked me about Donachie's blackmail allegation.

0:10:350:10:37

I told them to speak to Frank.

0:10:370:10:39

Good.

0:10:400:10:41

Listen, you should know.

0:10:440:10:45

I've been in contact with my lawyer. He's drawing up severance contracts

0:10:450:10:49

so I can end my involvement in Lowtherhill.

0:10:490:10:52

End it? You're not being serious.

0:10:520:10:55

There's no reason why this development can't go ahead

0:10:550:10:58

once remediation's complete.

0:10:580:10:59

I want you with me.

0:10:590:11:00

You'll need to find someone else.

0:11:020:11:04

And the land your yard sits on?

0:11:060:11:08

In case you've forgotten, it's still belongs to me.

0:11:080:11:10

Aye, well, I'd like to continue renting it.

0:11:100:11:13

Well, that's fine, but when the development picks up again,

0:11:130:11:15

the new contractor will need a yard.

0:11:150:11:17

Look, I'm not going to make things difficult.

0:11:200:11:23

I just wish we could start afresh. Wipe the slate clean.

0:11:230:11:26

Some things you just can't wipe clean.

0:11:270:11:29

PHONE RINGS

0:11:510:11:52

SWITCHES PHONE OFF

0:12:050:12:06

PHONE RINGS

0:12:200:12:22

Mum.

0:12:320:12:34

Frank is trying to wash his hands of the development.

0:12:370:12:41

And if he is behind the cover-up,

0:12:410:12:42

he's trying to distance himself from that now.

0:12:420:12:45

Not to mention what else he's responsible for.

0:12:450:12:47

Whoa. Just... Just be careful what you're accusing.

0:12:470:12:51

The toxicology report came back.

0:12:550:12:57

Raymond had taken a painkiller with alcohol.

0:12:590:13:01

It all fits suicide.

0:13:030:13:04

There must be something we can do.

0:13:070:13:11

Alan Lindsay, Alex McAllister... they must know something.

0:13:110:13:15

Can you not make them come forward?

0:13:150:13:17

It doesn't work like that, and, technically,

0:13:170:13:20

I shouldn't be having anything to do with this.

0:13:200:13:22

I passed the report to Fraud, it's their case now.

0:13:220:13:24

The man that wrote it, Eric Turnbull - have you spoken to him?

0:13:250:13:29

Mr Turnbull is proving...difficult to locate.

0:13:290:13:32

Well, that in itself is significant, if he's disappeared.

0:13:330:13:37

Why aren't you investigating that?

0:13:370:13:39

Because there's a difference

0:13:390:13:40

between someone disappearing and someone choosing not to be found.

0:13:400:13:43

He's not even been reported missing.

0:13:430:13:45

If I could just get some firm evidence to take to the Council...

0:13:450:13:49

I know, but I can't force Alan Lindsay or Alex McAllister to talk.

0:13:490:13:54

Maybe you can.

0:13:560:13:58

Oh, there is one more thing... We have Raymond's belongings.

0:14:010:14:05

I take it you've heard? Frank - he's pulling out of Lowtherhill.

0:14:540:14:59

I hadn't. I told you I don't work with the development any more.

0:14:590:15:03

You also told me it wasn't your idea to cover anything up.

0:15:030:15:06

So whose idea was it?

0:15:060:15:07

Eileen, what I said to you was...

0:15:070:15:09

Look. I just... I just want to hear it from somebody.

0:15:090:15:13

Was it Frank's idea?

0:15:130:15:14

What do you think?

0:15:170:15:18

Then why?

0:15:180:15:20

Why did you go along with it?

0:15:220:15:24

It's your name on that second report...

0:15:240:15:25

Look, Frank strong-armed me, all right?

0:15:250:15:29

Brought in his own man and said

0:15:290:15:30

if I didn't go along with it, I'd never work in this business again.

0:15:300:15:33

So you were thinking about your bank balance?

0:15:330:15:36

I was thinking about how I would support my family!

0:15:360:15:38

Are you willing to go on record?

0:15:400:15:42

Admit that it's Frank behind all this?

0:15:420:15:45

To who, the police?

0:15:450:15:47

No.

0:15:480:15:49

OK, well, not the police. But to the Council.

0:15:490:15:52

I'll make a complaint and you back me up and we can expose Frank

0:15:520:15:55

once and for all. I mean, is that not what you want too?

0:15:550:16:00

If he forced you into this, like you say he did?

0:16:000:16:04

I'd like to help you, believe me. But what you're asking...

0:16:060:16:10

to risk incriminating myself, go to jail?

0:16:100:16:14

My kids.

0:16:140:16:15

And what about my son?

0:16:180:16:19

Don't you think he deserves to know what his dad died for?

0:16:200:16:24

If you're not prepared to stand up and be even half the man that...

0:16:260:16:30

There might be someone else that can help you...

0:16:350:16:38

Frank's Environmental Consultant, Eric Turnbull.

0:16:380:16:41

No-one's seen him since this whole thing blew up,

0:16:410:16:44

but his wife might know something.

0:16:440:16:46

His wife?

0:16:460:16:47

Raymond was in contact with her before...

0:16:490:16:51

I know that's where he got the original ground report.

0:16:520:16:55

That's the best I can do.

0:16:570:16:59

Hello, Mrs Turnbull?

0:17:500:17:52

Did you know about Frank pulling council support for Lowtherhill?

0:17:550:17:59

First I've heard.

0:17:590:18:00

He's not answering his calls.

0:18:000:18:03

So what now? He's the one holding all the big investors.

0:18:030:18:06

If he walks...

0:18:060:18:07

Sounds to me like it's time to cut our losses.

0:18:090:18:12

You're taking this very well.

0:18:120:18:14

Considering the money you've already sunk into this remediation...

0:18:140:18:17

You don't need to tell me.

0:18:170:18:18

What do you want me to do?

0:18:190:18:21

Without Paton, this development's dead in the water.

0:18:210:18:24

Don't worry, I'll square myself up with Frank when I see him.

0:18:240:18:28

As for you and me...?

0:18:300:18:31

Don't tell me - another match on Tinder.

0:18:470:18:50

You know, if you swipe right all the time it doesn't mean you're popular,

0:18:500:18:53

-it just means you're easy.

-What are you doing back?

0:18:530:18:56

School finished, like, half an hour ago. What are you doing?

0:18:560:18:59

You look kind of shifty.

0:19:010:19:02

Nothing, I just... I didn't see you coming.

0:19:020:19:05

What are you doing tomorrow lunchtime?

0:19:060:19:09

I was hoping for a ride into town to get Nana's birthday present.

0:19:090:19:12

You need to ask Dad. I'm too busy.

0:19:120:19:14

OK.

0:19:150:19:16

Look, her birthday's not till Friday. Why don't we do it then?

0:19:160:19:19

Cool.

0:19:190:19:20

-There you go. Can I get you anything else?

-No, thanks.

0:19:380:19:40

Mrs Turnbull?

0:19:490:19:51

Yes.

0:19:510:19:52

-Come and sit down.

-Thanks.

0:19:520:19:54

-Mrs Turnbull...

-Oh, Betty.

0:19:560:19:59

I just want to thank you for agreeing to meet me here.

0:20:000:20:04

Truth is, the person I really need to speak to is your husband.

0:20:040:20:08

But you said on the phone you've not seen him for months?

0:20:080:20:12

-No.

-And you've no idea where he is?

0:20:120:20:16

No. I told the police that...

0:20:160:20:19

..that Eric sometimes takes off for long periods.

0:20:200:20:24

But you know, to not hear anything for so long...

0:20:260:20:30

What do you know about your husband's relationship

0:20:340:20:37

with Frank Paton?

0:20:370:20:39

Frank? Well, Eric's worked for Frank on and off for years.

0:20:390:20:45

-Hi. Can I get you anything?

-Nothing, thanks.

0:20:470:20:50

Betty, I believe that Frank commissioned a ground report

0:20:530:20:57

on some local land. It was carried out by your husband.

0:20:570:21:00

But it left out the fact that there was chromium there.

0:21:020:21:05

Now, Frank made me blame Eric for that in the press.

0:21:050:21:09

But I don't think Eric was to blame.

0:21:090:21:11

I think it was Frank that had that report doctored.

0:21:110:21:14

Look, I would really like to help you, Mrs Donachie.

0:21:140:21:17

But I'm sorry, Eric never discussed his business dealings with me.

0:21:170:21:23

And besides, Frank's been really good to me.

0:21:230:21:26

Eric's left debts. And Frank's helping me through some of that.

0:21:290:21:35

He gave you money?

0:21:360:21:38

Yes.

0:21:380:21:39

He's buying you off?!

0:21:410:21:43

No, Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty, please...

0:21:460:21:49

Please. I'm just trying to find out what's going on here.

0:21:510:21:56

The police, they've got that report now,

0:21:560:21:58

but without Eric to confirm anything...

0:21:580:22:01

So what do you expect me to do?

0:22:010:22:02

Maybe... if you reported him missing?

0:22:030:22:07

-At least they'd have to start taking it seriously.

-No.

0:22:070:22:10

There's a Detective - Detective Donald -

0:22:100:22:13

he's at Shieldinch and Moss Green.

0:22:130:22:15

Just speak to him.

0:22:160:22:18

Please, just think about it.

0:22:180:22:20

This could be our only way of tracking down your husband.

0:22:220:22:26

No. I'm sorry.

0:22:270:22:29

Betty!

0:22:320:22:33

Betty!

0:22:350:22:36

DOORBELL RINGS

0:23:090:23:11

How did it go?

0:23:290:23:31

She doesn't know where he is, and she won't even report him missing.

0:23:320:23:36

You said, on the day of the funeral, that if I ever needed anything...

0:23:400:23:46

Well, this is it.

0:23:480:23:50

I need to know that what Raymond died for...

0:23:500:23:54

what he was trying to uncover.... that it wasn't all for nothing.

0:23:540:23:58

-Eileen...

-And, I don't just mean that.

0:23:580:24:01

You think about what Frank has done to you. To both of us.

0:24:010:24:05

He's jeopardised your business, he's ruined my reputation.

0:24:050:24:09

He has to answer for all that.

0:24:090:24:11

Alan, I'm begging you here.

0:24:140:24:17

I've got nowhere else to turn.

0:24:200:24:22

You said something about the Council.

0:24:280:24:30

Some kind of complaints procedure.

0:24:300:24:32

-How would that work?

-Um, I'd have to speak to his boss.

0:24:320:24:37

He'll probably want to take a statement from you.

0:24:370:24:39

And that stays within the Council? I give that in private?

0:24:390:24:43

-And then what? They suspend Frank?

-I don't know, that'd be up to them.

0:24:430:24:47

But I can't see how he'd come through this

0:24:470:24:49

with his reputation intact.

0:24:490:24:51

You take away his position, you'll take away his power...

0:24:510:24:54

If I do this, you need to understand...

0:24:590:25:03

If that statement ever gets back to the police,

0:25:030:25:07

I'll deny it. I'll deny everything.

0:25:070:25:09

I'll say I just made it up to help you get back at Frank.

0:25:090:25:11

Thank you.

0:25:130:25:14

I hope this doesn't come back on us, Eileen.

0:25:170:25:19

And I don't just mean the police.

0:25:190:25:22

Frank's got some powerful friends.

0:25:220:25:24

And he will use them to protect himself.

0:25:240:25:27

We don't know what this guy's capable of.

0:25:270:25:29

First we were told there was no chromium on that land,

0:25:530:25:56

and then suddenly there was.

0:25:560:25:58

But I didn't know for sure that Frank was behind a cover-up

0:25:580:26:01

until the contractor confirmed it for me yesterday.

0:26:010:26:03

And this contractor. He's prepared to testify to that effect?

0:26:030:26:08

Truth is, I don't know where the police investigation is going to go.

0:26:080:26:11

But, right here, right now...

0:26:110:26:14

If we have somebody prepared to give evidence

0:26:140:26:17

that Frank's involved in corruption, can we afford not to act?

0:26:170:26:20

I understand where you're coming from.

0:26:300:26:33

But, before we go ahead and make this official,

0:26:330:26:35

let's just be sure we have all the facts.

0:26:350:26:38

-Your witness...?

-Alan Lindsay.

0:26:380:26:40

Give his details to Agnes, my secretary.

0:26:420:26:44

She'll add them to the visitors' log for tomorrow,

0:26:440:26:47

work up a new appointment schedule for me, and I'll speak to him then.

0:26:470:26:51

Just informally, you understand.

0:26:510:26:54

And I'll need to reconvene with you first.

0:26:540:26:57

So you can lay out your case.

0:26:570:26:58

Oh, and Eileen?

0:27:030:27:05

What was the name of that detective you spoke to?

0:27:050:27:07

I thought when you called me here,

0:27:100:27:12

you'd changed your mind about the business.

0:27:120:27:15

I just think, if you came with me,

0:27:150:27:17

if we tell them that Frank pressured us both,

0:27:170:27:20

he's less likely to hit back, the two of us standing there together.

0:27:200:27:24

So you're scared for your own skin and you want to hide behind me?

0:27:240:27:28

I'm sorry. There's too much at stake here.

0:27:280:27:30

Too much... For who?

0:27:300:27:32

You do realise what I'm putting on the line here?

0:27:330:27:35

I'm not just thinking of me.

0:27:350:27:37

With Frank pulling support for the project,

0:27:370:27:39

my whole business is at risk.

0:27:390:27:41

See the land that your yard sits on,

0:27:410:27:43

the land that you want to rent?

0:27:430:27:45

If I go under, I'll be forced to sell it.

0:27:450:27:47

So this all comes down to money.

0:27:490:27:51

Have you no sense of responsibility for what we've done here?

0:27:510:27:54

Of course I do!

0:27:540:27:55

But what this comes down to is protecting our livelihoods.

0:27:550:27:58

Yours and mine. The ones that support our families.

0:27:580:28:01

I understand you're trying to do the right thing.

0:28:010:28:04

But I can't hold your hand on this. You're on your own.

0:28:040:28:07

Mum?

0:28:310:28:32

You know, I was really looking forward to seeing both of you.

0:28:420:28:45

Aye?

0:28:450:28:47

Cos the last time you were here, you couldn't be bothered

0:28:470:28:49

seeing us at all.

0:28:490:28:51

You think I like having to hide things?

0:28:530:28:57

-Because I'm not going to build up her hopes just for you to wreck them again.

-I know...

0:28:570:29:01

Me leaving the way I did, it wasn't ideal...

0:29:020:29:05

Ideal? Mum, we were worried sick.

0:29:050:29:08

No goodbye, no explanation...

0:29:100:29:13

I mean, where even were you? Dad said Dubai, but...

0:29:130:29:17

Why there? Why thousands of miles away?

0:29:170:29:20

Do you have any idea what you've put us through?

0:29:230:29:25

These past six months, not knowing why -

0:29:250:29:28

if it was something we did.

0:29:280:29:29

It wasn't. I just... it was something I needed to do.

0:29:290:29:34

For myself.

0:29:340:29:35

And what, we didn't factor into that at all?

0:29:350:29:39

Kirsty's still just a kid.

0:29:440:29:45

And one day her mother packs up and walks out on her?

0:29:470:29:49

I don't see how much worse it can get.

0:29:490:29:51

So why are you back?

0:29:540:29:55

I mean, you just phone up out the blue...

0:29:550:29:57

I told you. I wanted to see you both.

0:29:570:30:00

See your faces.

0:30:020:30:03

I miss you.

0:30:050:30:07

I had a call from the police the other week.

0:30:130:30:16

Something about your dad, some kind of bother?

0:30:160:30:20

I had to give him an alibi but, well...

0:30:230:30:26

if Alan's in some sort of trouble, if it's going to affect you two...

0:30:260:30:30

So, what? Is this you riding in to the rescue? And then what?

0:30:300:30:34

You going to stick about?

0:30:340:30:35

Of course not.

0:30:370:30:38

Look, you don't need to worry about us,

0:30:390:30:42

Dad's doing great, actually, considering.

0:30:420:30:45

At least he's there.

0:30:450:30:47

Maybe this was a mistake.

0:30:470:30:48

Oh, aye, so you're just going to walk away again? Unbelievable.

0:30:480:30:53

We can manage just fine without you.

0:30:540:30:57

Angus!

0:30:580:30:59

All right, mate?

0:31:110:31:12

Drinking yourself?

0:31:120:31:14

Not any more.

0:31:140:31:16

How's it going?

0:31:160:31:17

Been better.

0:31:170:31:19

This Lowtherhill thing's really scunnered me, man.

0:31:190:31:22

Mate, that whole development's cursed.

0:31:220:31:24

You and my dad are well out of it.

0:31:240:31:26

But I've got just the thing to keep your mind off it, my friend.

0:31:260:31:30

Zinnie? Just how sharp are your bartending skills tonight?

0:31:300:31:34

Cos me and my good friend here were thinking...shooters?

0:31:340:31:38

-Shooters?

-I don't know, mate.

-Oh, come on.

0:31:380:31:42

What's your thoughts on a slippery nipple?

0:31:420:31:44

It's Sambuca and Irish cream.

0:31:440:31:45

I think that sounds disgusting.

0:31:450:31:47

-A B-52?

-A what?

0:31:480:31:50

So I suppose a screaming orgasm's out of the question, then?

0:31:500:31:52

PHONE CHIMES

0:31:520:31:53

Look, I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

0:31:530:31:57

Er, sorry, naw. Count me out.

0:32:010:32:04

-Something's just come up.

-But you just got here.

0:32:040:32:06

I was thinking we could maybe make a night of it, eh? Head into town?

0:32:060:32:09

Mate, you look like you're on a mission.

0:32:090:32:11

But I'm not really feeling that flush the now.

0:32:110:32:14

Maybe next time, eh? Catch you later.

0:32:140:32:16

You all right?

0:32:240:32:26

Erm...

0:32:260:32:28

Aye. Fine.

0:32:280:32:30

What was that all about?

0:32:300:32:31

I dunno. Maybe he's just worried about the development.

0:32:320:32:36

It doesn't sound like his money's that safe.

0:32:360:32:39

Look, whatever it is...

0:32:420:32:44

THIS probably isn't the answer.

0:32:440:32:47

No.

0:32:470:32:48

But it'll do for now.

0:32:500:32:51

Tequila.

0:32:530:32:54

I will have one tequila, please.

0:32:580:33:01

So if you can just put those two first,

0:33:010:33:03

and I'll speak to Frank afterwards.

0:33:030:33:05

And if we just move Andrews to two o'clock...

0:33:050:33:08

Thanks, Agnes.

0:33:110:33:12

Now, if you could just make sure reception are informed?

0:33:120:33:15

Hi, Agnes.

0:33:150:33:16

-You wanted to see me?

-Sit down, Frank.

0:33:160:33:19

There's no easy way to say this...

0:33:220:33:25

but certain allegations have been brought to my attention,

0:33:250:33:28

concerning your conduct over Lowtherhill.

0:33:280:33:30

I don't understand. What kind of allegations?

0:33:320:33:35

I can't give you the full details yet.

0:33:350:33:36

But I can tell you it's serious.

0:33:360:33:39

Pertaining to corruption.

0:33:390:33:41

Should I be worried?

0:33:430:33:45

I'm giving you the opportunity to tell me now.

0:33:460:33:48

Because if I find out later...

0:33:480:33:49

Worried? No...

0:33:490:33:51

So, who's been telling you all this?

0:33:510:33:54

You know I can't tell you that.

0:33:540:33:55

It's Eileen, isn't it?

0:33:560:33:58

Look, I don't know what that woman's problem is with me.

0:33:580:34:02

Whether she feels like she's been passed over, or what,

0:34:020:34:05

but...come on.

0:34:050:34:07

You're not going to take this seriously, are you? I mean...

0:34:070:34:09

It's not just her.

0:34:090:34:11

I'm informed the police are investigating this too.

0:34:110:34:14

A document that was passed to them...

0:34:140:34:16

Look, Frank, we've known each other a long time.

0:34:170:34:21

So let me be absolutely clear about this.

0:34:210:34:25

Cover-ups, falsehoods, dodgy dealings -

0:34:250:34:28

I've worked hard in my seven years here

0:34:280:34:30

to weed out exactly this kind of behaviour.

0:34:300:34:33

And if we are looking at a potential scandal?

0:34:330:34:36

Well, you know where I stand.

0:34:370:34:40

Detective Donald was the name.

0:35:390:35:40

She said she talked to him direct, but I've had no follow-up.

0:35:400:35:44

OK.

0:35:460:35:47

Well, thank you, Chief Constable.

0:35:480:35:50

Let's just try to keep each other in the loop on this one.

0:35:500:35:54

Great.

0:35:540:35:56

Speak soon.

0:35:560:35:57

Frank?

0:36:020:36:03

Sorry for the interruption. Agnes here's been giving me a hand.

0:36:030:36:06

I seem to have misplaced my phone when I was in here before.

0:36:060:36:10

This was the last place I had it.

0:36:100:36:11

Well. One quick way to solve this mystery.

0:36:110:36:15

MOBILE RINGS

0:36:190:36:21

Ah. Here it is.

0:36:230:36:25

See if I didn't have my head screwed on...

0:36:250:36:28

What are you doing here?

0:36:370:36:39

Just checking how business is going.

0:36:390:36:41

You must be saving a fortune on those wee yellow jackets

0:36:410:36:44

now you're not getting your hands dirty any more.

0:36:440:36:46

What do you want, Frank?

0:36:470:36:49

You were always were the weak one, Alan.

0:36:540:36:56

Never had the stomach to see anything through to the end.

0:36:560:36:59

If you actually think this is going to achieve anything...

0:36:590:37:02

-I don't know what you're talking about.

-Don't give me it.

0:37:020:37:05

Just back from the Council.

0:37:050:37:07

Backing up Eileen and her little campaign against me.

0:37:070:37:10

All I'm telling them is the truth.

0:37:100:37:12

The truth? And where do you think that's going to get you?

0:37:120:37:15

Do you think anybody really cares what the truth is?

0:37:150:37:18

They'll care once they find out

0:37:180:37:19

what kind of man they've got working for them.

0:37:190:37:21

See, that's your problem.

0:37:210:37:24

You're just too dumb to see all the angles.

0:37:260:37:29

Folk like you, they serve a purpose.

0:37:310:37:33

Like a cheap piece of kit you pick up,

0:37:330:37:34

chuck away again when you're done.

0:37:340:37:36

But me?

0:37:360:37:38

People have invested too much in me to simply let this go.

0:37:380:37:40

No matter what you say.

0:37:400:37:42

Aye? Well, we'll see about that, won't we?

0:37:420:37:46

You're finished.

0:37:500:37:52

I told you once before - I can see to it you'll never work again.

0:37:520:37:57

I'm not talking about this city.

0:37:570:37:59

I've got connections across the whole country...

0:37:590:38:01

Oh, give it a rest, will you?

0:38:010:38:03

See, I've heard it all before.

0:38:030:38:04

First you came in here with promises, then it's threats...

0:38:040:38:08

See when your "connections" find out who you really are,

0:38:090:38:13

and that your job's on the line?

0:38:130:38:14

We'll see how fast the rats desert you.

0:38:140:38:18

Show face at the Council... you're done.

0:38:260:38:29

For good.

0:38:300:38:32

And I'm not just talking about your business.

0:38:330:38:36

We need to talk.

0:38:480:38:50

I'm delighted you've decided to honour me with your presence.

0:38:500:38:53

I'm sorry I never came before. But we've got bigger problems.

0:38:530:38:56

It's Eileen. She's got Alan Lindsay

0:38:560:38:58

to say that he's going to testify to the Council over Lowtherhill.

0:38:580:39:01

Lowtherhill...

0:39:010:39:03

that name sounds familiar.

0:39:030:39:04

Oh, wait a minute. Isn't that the wee housing project that we had,

0:39:040:39:07

that you forgot to tell me was down the Suwannee?

0:39:070:39:10

I was going to tell you.

0:39:100:39:11

I just wanted to get the full picture first.

0:39:110:39:13

Come on, then. Enlighten me.

0:39:130:39:15

Look, your money's safe.

0:39:150:39:17

There's a phase two in the works, a much larger thing.

0:39:170:39:20

Your investment will be carried forward into that.

0:39:200:39:22

With a much higher return, of course.

0:39:220:39:25

Come on, give me your "phase two".

0:39:250:39:27

We're talking retail units, business parks,

0:39:270:39:30

luxury homes at top market prices.

0:39:300:39:32

Lowtherhill, that's just the start,

0:39:320:39:35

we're talking a much bigger piece of the cake.

0:39:350:39:38

Sounds more like pie in the sky to me.

0:39:380:39:39

How do I know the same thing's not going to happen again?

0:39:390:39:42

We can discuss that later.

0:39:420:39:43

Do you not think we've got more pressing concerns?

0:39:430:39:45

Eileen?

0:39:450:39:48

-What about her?

-That threat, Lenny.

0:39:480:39:50

Whatever you have on her, we need to use it now! Ramp it up.

0:39:500:39:53

Might be a problem there.

0:39:560:39:58

See that threat, that's been buried.

0:39:580:40:00

I believe you were one of the mourners at the funeral.

0:40:020:40:05

Raymond! That's who she was protecting.

0:40:060:40:09

-Now Raymond's...

-Dead? Give the man a cigar.

0:40:090:40:11

And I'm wondering just how much you know about that.

0:40:110:40:14

If Eileen gets her way at the Council...

0:40:170:40:19

Your coat is on a shoogly peg, Frank.

0:40:190:40:21

Even more so if the polis decide to come knocking.

0:40:210:40:24

But, what we've just talked about - phase two?

0:40:240:40:26

Phase two...

0:40:260:40:27

Let me tell you something, a drowning man, he's going

0:40:290:40:33

to promise you anything, if he thinks you'll throw him a line.

0:40:330:40:36

But make no mistake,

0:40:370:40:39

I will get back what's owed to me, one way or another.

0:40:390:40:43

Anything else? That's up to you now.

0:40:450:40:48

Well, I must say, this is a bit of a surprise.

0:41:280:41:30

You could've let me know you were coming.

0:41:330:41:35

I know. But it couldn't be helped.

0:41:350:41:37

Rachel, I...

0:41:380:41:40

Please. Let's just keep this professional.

0:41:400:41:43

I know there's probably things we both need to say but...

0:41:450:41:48

this isn't a personal visit.

0:41:480:41:51

Walters sent me.

0:41:510:41:52

She received a call from a Senior Councillor earlier, a Ronald Greer?

0:41:520:41:57

She wanted me to come down here and find out what's going on.

0:41:570:42:01

In what capacity?

0:42:010:42:03

For the time being, I'm acting DCI.

0:42:050:42:07

You've been promoted?

0:42:090:42:11

I suppose congratulations are in order.

0:42:110:42:13

Feel free to have a seat. It's not my office any more.

0:42:150:42:18

Don't.

0:42:180:42:19

So. What's the story?

0:42:270:42:28

The Council are under the impression we're looking into some

0:42:280:42:32

sort of cover-up?

0:42:320:42:33

And?

0:42:340:42:36

It's just that they saw your name attached to it, and...

0:42:360:42:40

Council fraud?

0:42:400:42:41

Not exactly within your remit, is it?

0:42:410:42:44

I see what you're getting at.

0:42:440:42:46

It was actually Eileen Donachie that came to us with this.

0:42:460:42:50

She brought me a document, which I passed along immediately.

0:42:500:42:54

Look, if Walters has sent you here just to shut me down...

0:42:580:43:02

She just thought that,

0:43:020:43:03

given this could be sensitive, we ought to be across it.

0:43:030:43:06

Well, you two seem to have built up quite the working relationship.

0:43:080:43:12

You do all her bidding now, do you?

0:43:120:43:14

Sorry, I didn't mean that.

0:43:160:43:18

I'm going to be staying for the next few days.

0:43:180:43:20

Maybe it's better if you write up a report to fill me in?

0:43:200:43:24

Have it on my desk first thing.

0:43:250:43:27

Yes, Ma'am.

0:43:300:43:31

It's good to see you again.

0:43:340:43:36

Really.

0:43:360:43:38

Look at the state of you.

0:43:500:43:51

Everything OK?

0:43:540:43:55

Nothing a piece and bacon willnae fix.

0:43:560:43:59

Yeah, well. Just try not to set the house on fire.

0:43:590:44:02

Kirsty?

0:44:030:44:05

I love you.

0:44:060:44:08

I know.

0:44:080:44:10

I hope you're not planning on sleeping in there again tonight.

0:44:260:44:29

You want one?

0:44:380:44:40

Right.

0:45:140:45:16

DOORBELL RINGS

0:45:510:45:53

You ready?

0:46:040:46:06

I was going to follow you up there.

0:46:060:46:08

You did say I wasn't due until 11, right?

0:46:080:46:11

Yeah. He wants to speak to me first.

0:46:110:46:13

OK, well... I'll see you there, then?

0:46:140:46:17

Thanks again for doing this.

0:46:180:46:20

And this ground report you came into possession of,

0:46:550:46:58

you showed that to Mr Lindsay?

0:46:580:47:00

Yes. Just before I gave it to the police.

0:47:000:47:03

And it was at this point that he told you

0:47:050:47:07

that Councillor Paton knew of its existence?

0:47:070:47:11

No. That was later. When I spoke to him again.

0:47:120:47:15

So he denied all knowledge of it at first?

0:47:210:47:23

Excuse me, I'm looking for Councillor Greer's office.

0:47:320:47:36

-Upstairs on the second level.

-Thanks.

0:47:360:47:38

Alan!

0:47:390:47:41

Well?

0:48:340:48:36

If what I've been hearing is true,

0:48:360:48:38

you've got some serious questions to answer.

0:48:380:48:40

This is a farce.

0:48:400:48:42

Eileen Donachie finds one person to come in here and tell lies...

0:48:420:48:45

Oh, come on.

0:48:450:48:47

It's Alan Lindsay, isn't it?

0:48:470:48:49

He's the one that's trying to stick the knife in, isn't it?

0:48:490:48:52

Why are you listening to him over me?

0:48:520:48:55

What?

0:48:550:48:56

How did you know it was Lindsay?

0:48:560:48:58

So, what does it matter?

0:48:580:49:00

And all this business about chromium deposits...

0:49:000:49:03

Alan Lindsay was the man who signed off on that report.

0:49:030:49:06

He's hardly a credible witness!

0:49:060:49:08

Be that as it may, his testimony raises serious questions.

0:49:080:49:13

The ground surveyor, Eric Turnbull.

0:49:140:49:17

Lindsay says you pressured him into allowing this man to commit fraud!

0:49:170:49:21

A formal inquiry will have to be launched. And in the meantime...

0:49:260:49:30

..consider yourself suspended.

0:49:320:49:34

And what about the rest?

0:49:370:49:39

-What "rest"?

-If Alan Lindsay's saying

0:49:420:49:45

that Turnbull committed fraudulent acts...

0:49:450:49:49

to which other projects does this apply?

0:49:490:49:52

Those are going to have to be investigated too.

0:49:520:49:55

What are you talking about?

0:49:550:49:57

How long have we worked together in Development, Ronnie?

0:49:590:50:02

How many projects in that time?

0:50:040:50:06

Eric Turnbull has worked on every single one.

0:50:060:50:10

Are you saying he's done this before?

0:50:110:50:13

Because if we've got residents, living on contaminated land...

0:50:130:50:17

I'm not saying anything.

0:50:170:50:18

It's like you said yourself...

0:50:180:50:20

There are "serious questions" that we need answered.

0:50:200:50:24

Seven years you told me yesterday.

0:50:290:50:32

Seven years to clean up your department.

0:50:320:50:34

That's quite a legacy to leave behind.

0:50:360:50:39

All those projects you got green-lit.

0:50:390:50:42

And it all just gets washed away.

0:50:420:50:45

You can't do this.

0:50:480:50:49

I'm just trying to protect you, Ronnie.

0:50:490:50:52

I'm trying to cushion you from the reality of what your time

0:50:520:50:54

in office has actually been about.

0:50:540:50:57

-How did it go?

-Good, I think.

0:51:230:51:25

-I can't thank you enough.

-It's the least I could do.

0:51:260:51:30

-It was my pleasure, believe me. I'd better go.

-OK, bye.

-Bye.

0:51:300:51:35

I don't understand.

0:51:500:51:51

Surely what Alan said at least warrants further investigation!

0:51:510:51:54

-Please, try to calm down.

-Calm down?

0:51:540:51:57

He's got to you, hasn't he? What's he said?

0:51:570:52:00

Eileen, now you're just being paranoid.

0:52:000:52:03

Am I? Maybe it's just the way things work round here.

0:52:030:52:05

The Old Boys' network, everybody sticking together!

0:52:050:52:07

Look, the loss of Lowtherhill... It hasn't been easy for anybody.

0:52:070:52:11

But there comes a time when you have to move on.

0:52:110:52:14

Now, I know things might still be raw at home.

0:52:140:52:16

So if you want a couple more weeks?

0:52:160:52:18

A couple more weeks? What for?

0:52:180:52:22

You know, you could give me a couple more years

0:52:240:52:26

and it wouldn't make a difference.

0:52:260:52:29

I've already made up my mind.

0:52:300:52:31

I'm done.

0:52:330:52:35

I quit.

0:52:350:52:36

I need to be with my family.

0:52:380:52:40

Eileen!

0:52:400:52:41

Eileen?

0:53:170:53:18

I thought I might find you here.

0:53:180:53:20

All alone?

0:53:240:53:25

Do you have any idea what you put at risk today?

0:53:290:53:32

The money at stake, the people that back me?

0:53:320:53:35

Do you really think they're going to let you get in the way?

0:53:350:53:38

You were never going to win this, Eileen.

0:53:420:53:45

People like you and Raymond...

0:53:450:53:47

You were never cut out to play with the big boys.

0:53:470:53:49

Eileen!

0:53:560:53:58

Sorry, I didn't realise.

0:53:580:53:59

We were just passing and we saw there was someone was in.

0:54:010:54:04

Stuart's been asking for you all day, dear, and...

0:54:040:54:09

we were wondering if Mummy's ready to come home yet?

0:54:090:54:13

Yes, I am. Frank was just leaving.

0:54:130:54:16

-You having a wee clear-out, dear?

-Yeah, kind of.

0:54:180:54:22

I'm looking for Detective Inspector Donald.

0:54:340:54:36

I'd like to report a missing person.

0:54:360:54:39

-OK, just have a seat.

-OK, thank you.

0:54:390:54:41

PHONE RINGS CID, Donald?

0:54:560:54:59

Betty Turnbull?

0:54:590:55:01

I'll be right there. Thank you.

0:55:010:55:04

SHOUTS AND LAUGHTER

0:55:110:55:15

I need to be running this murder investigation.

0:55:510:55:54

What?!

0:55:540:55:55

Eric Stephen Turnbull....

0:55:550:55:57

He said that Eric was just staying away, until things blew over.

0:55:570:56:02

"He"? Who's he?

0:56:020:56:04

Frank Paton.

0:56:040:56:05

You talked to him quite recently,

0:56:050:56:07

certainly within the last three weeks?

0:56:070:56:09

I'm at a loss as to how you could manage this,

0:56:090:56:12

given that he was found in a shallow grave yesterday.

0:56:120:56:14

-If we stick together...

-You can go to hell, McAllister!

0:56:140:56:18

Because I wish to God I'd never met you.

0:56:180:56:20

Look, I promised I'd find anything that was there,

0:56:200:56:23

and I will, which is why I need the keys to Raymond's house.

0:56:230:56:26

If you'd anything to do with that man's death...

0:56:280:56:31

you won't be able to blackmail your way out of it this time.

0:56:310:56:33
