0:00:02 > 0:00:12This programme contains some violent scenes.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54This car's falling apart.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I know.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Did we get the "machete on the night bus" story in?
0:00:57 > 0:00:58No, I couldn't see it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03It's bloody freezing in here. Gonnae get that heater fixed?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I don't think I can stay in the call car for much longer.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Of course, you'll be the editor this time next month, I completely forgot(!)
0:01:11 > 0:01:15What's wrong with working in the call car, anyhow?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Where else would the paper get its surreal vignettes of Glasgow life?
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- RADIO:- 'Come in, Alpha Four. We have reports of a disturbance at 45, Ashwell Terrace, Bearsden.'
0:01:23 > 0:01:24A disturbance. Bearsden.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25'Man and woman fighting.'
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Oh, it's posh. It might be worth a look.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32'Need a car over there immediately. Repeat - reports of a disturbance at 45...'
0:01:45 > 0:01:47# Looking like a born again
0:01:47 > 0:01:49# Living like a heretic
0:01:49 > 0:01:51# Listening to Arthur Lee records
0:01:51 > 0:01:56# Making all your friends feel so guilty about their cynicism
0:01:56 > 0:01:58# And the rest of their generation
0:01:58 > 0:02:00# Not even the Government
0:02:00 > 0:02:03# Are going to stop you now
0:02:03 > 0:02:08# But are you ready to be heartbroken?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12# Are you ready to be heartbroken?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17# Well, you'd better get ready now, baby
0:02:17 > 0:02:19# Ready to bleed
0:02:19 > 0:02:21# Ready to bleed
0:02:21 > 0:02:24# Ready to bleed. #
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Can I help you? Do you live here?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Daily News.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42What's the story?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Well, a gang of unruly surgeons have been reeking havoc in
0:02:46 > 0:02:48a fracas over a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Very funny, Burns.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55McVie. Meehan. Nothing for yous here. Noise complaint.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Shouting, slamming doors. - Bearsden? Heaven forbid(!)
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I know. The carpets round here are so thick you feel
0:03:00 > 0:03:02that your feet have been cut off.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Hey, what's the difference between a porcupine and a house in Bearsden?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10On a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Oh, I thought that was a cop shop.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Ignore him. He thinks he's a comedian.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19That woman has blood on her face.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21She wants us to leave it.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23She's a lawyer.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Vhari Burnett. There's not much I can do.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28If she calls us out again...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- RADIO:- 'Alpha Four, do you receive?' - ..I'll take action. - Come on, let's go.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And you two, away and rake some muck someplace else.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Right, let's get out of here. This is not going in the paper.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Vhari Burnett? Have you seriously never heard of her?- No.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Top lawyer for Amnesty? She gets beaten up - that's news.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46She gets beaten up by Arthur Scargill, that's news.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49She gets slapped across the kisser by her boyfriend, that's not.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Then what's CID doing here?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Hello. Paddy Meehan. Daily News.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04George McVie. If we could have a word.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05It won't take two seconds.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08We just wanted to know if you'd been beating up your wife.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Can I apologise for my colleague?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Or are her injuries in relation to a case that she's been working on?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Shut up, you.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Or are her injuries related to a case that she's been working on?
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Look, I'm a colleague of Miss Burnett
0:04:25 > 0:04:29and I'm sorry to say she's had a wee bit too much to drink.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32But thank you for your concern.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Now, I needn't stress how important it is that none of this reaches the paper.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42Vhari's a very successful lawyer and if word got round that she couldn't
0:04:42 > 0:04:47handle the sauce. Well, it would, erm, it would damage her reputation.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51But, erm, thank you very much.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Good night.
0:04:54 > 0:04:5650 quid.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57You dancer.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59What are you doing?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Keys. - We can't take his money.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Keys.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05SHE SIGHS
0:05:15 > 0:05:19CAR ENGINE CHOKES
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Listen, take the 50 quid. You need it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Your family need it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34What difference does it make? Devlin's not going to publish this -
0:05:34 > 0:05:36"Lawyer gets pished".
0:05:36 > 0:05:38She looked scared.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Phone it in. Be my guest.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Right. It's past the dead hour.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Some bastard must be killing somebody somewhere.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I think you've been overcharged...
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I cannae see how it's that much. - Been a mistake.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It couldn't be that much.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10You been out already?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Thought there might be some lead down by the old factory
0:06:13 > 0:06:15at Eastfield, but somebody beat me to it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Just so you know, the phone's not working.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Cut off?- Did I say that? It's just temporarily out of use.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Eviction notice?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Give us that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I thought we paid the back rent. How much do we owe?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Don't worry about it, I'll get work soon.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32How much, Dad?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37About 145.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Put your money away. You're paying enough already.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I can look after my own family.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Where exactly are you going to get that type of cash?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51So, how was last night?
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Did you hear about that woman being killed? It was just on the radio.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57No, I missed that.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Oh, better luck next time.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I just report the news, Mum. I don't make it happen.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06What else? See any sights?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Give us your chat.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11First, we went to a car crash - nobody was hurt.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Oh, you must have been disappointed.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And then we went to the police station in Anderston.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Then a disturbance at Bearsden,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19and just drove about Easterhouse for a few hours.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Bearsden. That's where that woman was killed, wasn't it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30SHE FLICKS THROUGH RADIO STATIONS
0:07:30 > 0:07:32RADIO: 'In the First Division, Meadowbank Thistle...'
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Will you turn that off? This isn't just your room.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Shut up, I need to hear this.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39RADIO: 'The name of the victim in the Bearsden killing has been
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'announced as Vhari Burnett - a well-known lawyer in the city.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46'She was found dead at her home by police officers at 6.30 this morning.'
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Can I speak to you?- Aye, sure.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55In private.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58This is bad.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01That guy killed her, McVie, and we took money from him.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Ah, when you put it like that, it does sound sort of bad.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You don't know he killed her.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08He could have been long gone by then.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09We need to tell Devlin.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11You keep your gas at a peep.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Tell him, by all means, but miss out the bit about the 50 quid.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Do you want your jotters?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Cos he'll have us out of here so fast your face will look as
0:08:20 > 0:08:21if it's been in a wind tunnel.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- TV:- 'No. Now if this Government spent as much money on modernising
0:08:29 > 0:08:33'the pits as they do trying to destroy the trade union movement,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35'we would have a sustainable industry and a future.'
0:08:35 > 0:08:38So, when did you get the call?
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Well, is it... Is it definite? Is it signed, sealed, delivered?
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Yeah, sure.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- TV:- 'We'll make another statement later on...'
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Hey, I got a call from Partick Marine Police Station.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Apparently, you were at this house in Bearsden last night?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55They want to talk to you.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- No problem.- Yeah, well, is there anything for us in it?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Anything you can write up? Any hook?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- We weren't there very long. - Just got a glimpse of her.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Well, that makes you the last person to see her alive, doesn't it? There's your hook.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Jesus, Paddy, do I have to do your job for you?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, I'm still here.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I want a hundred-word description, all right?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Scene at the house, atmosphere. Book end it with facts.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20And I want it in before you go out on the call car, all right?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Anything else I should know?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- No.- All right, then, piss off.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47It's Meehan, right?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Your reputation goes before you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I heard what you did on the Baby Brian case.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57So what can you tell me about the Bearsden call?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I spoke to the man at the door.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Did you see the Burnett woman?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Yeah, she, erm, she had blood on her face.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04I think she'd cut her lip.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Cut her lip?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13She had her teeth pulled out and her skull caved in with a hammer.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16She was found curled up behind the door by somebody that came to pick her up for work.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Tell us anything else?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Yeah, erm, the man... He spoke with an Irish accent.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25He wore red braces, expensive shirt.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27He said that he was a colleague.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And there was a red car parked round the back.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31You never mentioned that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Just assumed it was hers.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Do you think there's some kind of Irish connection? Provos, maybe?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44What I think is my business. Is that it?
0:10:47 > 0:10:48On you go.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Is there something else?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23One para for four nights in a call car, Meehan?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You driving round with your eyes shut?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.- But it did happen, didn't it?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35A good old-fashioned murder and you missed it!
0:11:35 > 0:11:40There's a, erm, a miners' strike on, as well,
0:11:40 > 0:11:41just in case you haven't noticed?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Is there? Is there really(?)
0:11:43 > 0:11:45If you want to make yourself useful, at least bend over
0:11:45 > 0:11:49and give the sideliners somewhere to stick their pens.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Just so you know, Mary Margaret from the press bar is telling
0:11:52 > 0:11:56everybody that you've got a dick like a cocktail stick.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59MURMURS AND CHUCKLING
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Jesus wept.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06What's the score?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Something happen?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- What's up? - They've sold the paper.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22I knew this would happen.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24They'll use this to crack the unions wide open.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The negotiations have been going on for some time.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29They just, erm... Forgot to tell us.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Who's the new owner?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34McCallum International. They took over The Examiner in Manchester -
0:12:34 > 0:12:35started editing on computers,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38printing up off-site at a fraction of the cost.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Holy shit.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Printing in colour.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Colour?- Mmm-hmm.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Typing through three sheets and two carbons - it's a dying skill, boys.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Just as well you could never do that.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51That's cos his finger was always up his arse.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Aye, keep laughing - all the way to the dole queue!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Maybe it's not all doom and gloom.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Yeah, well, you're about to find out.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Hey, the new editor-in-chief is on his way up the stairs!
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Name's Maloney. So I want everyone in here, including secretarial. Now.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Well, come on. You're about to meet your new boss, so at least look professional.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Pronto Tonto!
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Hold up, comrades.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Erm, hi. Devlin, editor.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Welcome to the Daily News.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Is this the entire newsroom staff?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Erm, yeah, more or less.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Good. I have a few words to say.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, the floor is yours.
0:13:36 > 0:13:43I'm told that a successful newspaper treats its workforce with respect,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47values experience while nurturing new talent and taking risks.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51I'm told this.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Unfortunately, I don't believe it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59This is a provincial paper in a provincial town.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And please don't start banging on about Glasgow being
0:14:03 > 0:14:05the second city of the Empire.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08This place does not have room for two broadsheets.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14But if there's only going to be one, I want it to be the Daily News.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19You need to start attracting some new readers.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Nationally.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Well, that's the good news.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28The bad news is that not all of you will be embarking on this
0:14:28 > 0:14:29exciting new journey with me.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32At least 20% of you will go.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36We are going to be leaner, meaner and keener.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39That's enough show-boating. The NUJ will have something...
0:14:39 > 0:14:41You tell the NUJ there's a new sheriff in town.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49This paper has a tradition.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, if you don't like it, piss off.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54They're looking for a new features editor at The Guardian.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Although not one with a second-rate CV like yours.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Careful.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00I don't have anything to lose here.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03However, if you do stay,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06at least you'll be able to save the hacks that deserve a job.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08If you go - blood bath.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Why me? If I'm so second-rate.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Your CV is. You're not.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17No, you've done a good job here.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20It's just times are changing and you need to adapt.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I'm not saying you've got to go down-market, you know?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Swing from the soft left to the soft right,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29you'll pick up circulation in no time.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31And I can choose who stays and who goes, yeah?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Right.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38I picked up today's edition at the airport.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39It's dull.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42We'll kick off the new look with a big story,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45but from an angle that your readers don't expect.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47We need to make it clear that this paper has a new voice.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Which is?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50We'll go with the miners' strike.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53But let's go after the union leaders.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58We'll do a piece highlighting their rank hypocrisy -
0:15:58 > 0:16:00their big cars, holiday homes.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I ain't saying we're going to get a shot of Red Willie McDade
0:16:02 > 0:16:05in his Jacuzzi, lighting a cigar with some poor sod's giro.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07There's a lot of support for the strike up here.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10You know, at Polmaise they don't even need pickets.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Devlin, the miners don't buy your paper. They buy the Sun.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19I'll be taking that desk over there until I get upstairs refurbished.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Don't think she's a Partick Thistle supporter, do you?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41WOMAN BREATHES HEAVILY
0:17:17 > 0:17:18We need to hand that money in.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21That might be tricky.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I slapped mine on Widow's Fortune in the 1.30 at Doncaster this morning.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26It's still running.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28But it could be evidence.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30The cops saw him.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31He'll be in the clink before you know it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37No, what we need is a juicy story. Keep our jobs.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44You still eating them things?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46You should lay off the fish suppers.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I've never had any complaints.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Really? Because for someone with a reputation as a letch,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I've never actually seen you with a woman.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Appearances can be deceiving.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02There's been plenty, don't you worry.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05They're not exactly kicking your door in for a mad shag, are they?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Was it someone special? Is that it?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Did she break your heart?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13That's right. I'm like Humphrey McBogart.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14I'll always have Rothesay.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- RADIO:- 'Alpha Four, members of the public have found a body
0:18:17 > 0:18:20'floating in the river by the old boathouse near the Clyde bridge.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22'Do you receive me, over?'
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Let's go. CAR ENGINE TURNS
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Oh, come on. Come on!
0:18:27 > 0:18:29CAR ENGINE TURNS
0:18:30 > 0:18:32CAR STARTS
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Listen, erm, you go.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02That, erm, fish supper isn't sitting too well.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- POLICE OFFICER: - There's an ambulance on its way.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Just where do you think you're going?- It's all right, Tam.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20What's going on here?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Nothing exciting, I'm afraid. Some guy dead in the water.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Something in the river must have ripped open his face.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Suicide, I'm guessing.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Maybe call it in as possible foul play, just to be safe.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35They drag a DS out here for a jumper?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Aye, DCI Sullivan wanted me to check it out.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41New boy, I get all the best jobs.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49So, what are you doing tomorrow?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53What, you can't work that call car 24-7. That'd be slave labour.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55You choose your moments!
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Not the most romantic setting, I know, but needs must.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I don't know when I might get another chance.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04And you don't see peepers like yours very often.
0:20:09 > 0:20:1020 quid.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Credit card. Business card.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19"Mark Thillingly. Law Society".
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Amnesty International?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Anything else you'd like to know?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Like Vhari Burnett.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29What, you think this is the guy that was at the Burnett house?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31No, it's not the guy I saw.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33But he could have been there.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Maybe he killed her and topped himself.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40"Support The Miners"?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42See you later.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46So, what about that drink?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I'll be in the press bar tomorrow night.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58We need to call this in. Another lawyer.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Fits in with the Vhari Burnett murder.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01That could be the amateur dentist.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Could be. Name's Mark Thillingly.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Good girl.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Hail Mary full of grace. Our Lord is with thee.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Jesus.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Going to do that somewhere else? I need to sleep.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I've decided.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I'm going to take holy orders.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I know what you're going to say, but I've been thinking about it
0:21:44 > 0:21:47ever since I saw the Holy Father at Bellahouston.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Father Michael has got a place for me at Taize.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It's an ecumenical camp for young Christians.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Just to try it out, see if it suits me.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02I know what I'm doing, Paddy.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I just want you to have a life -
0:22:07 > 0:22:09wild adventures, passionate love affairs -
0:22:09 > 0:22:12not spend it praying in some cold, grey room.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13There's more to it than that.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And what about Dad? He's up to his eyes in debt.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18They need another wage coming in.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19He said it was OK.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I let you be who you want to be.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Hear the good news, then?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34She doesn't know what she's doing. She's 18.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36She's throwing her life away.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Becoming a Bride of Christ is throwing your life away?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- You've brainwashed her.- I don't have time to brainwash anyone.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45And if I did, I would start with you.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I prayed every night that one of you would find Jesus.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I set me heart on it, so don't you spoil this!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Mary Ann has got her whole life ahead of her.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I'm not listening to you, Patricia.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06You're surrounded by sin. You peddle in it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08No, I don't!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I want to do good, just like Mary Ann, only in a different way.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16How? By making up lies about people? By hounding them?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19By writing about your own family, if you think it'll get you ahead?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You're happy enough to take my money.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Dad can't get work. We've already had to move once.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Now we've got another eviction notice on the table.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Don't you think Mary Ann should be bringing in a wage?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39She doesn't need a job.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41She has a vocation.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I mean, Devlin didn't even call him in.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Just gave him the bump over the phone.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Who?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57McFadden. He did that column for ten years.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59He was practically an institution.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Now he's going to be living in one.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Who's next?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I think we should all go and get steamboats.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Good call.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Listen, I've made a decision.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I'm going to tell the cops about the 50 quid, and so should you.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54This about the Burnett case? Cos I've got nothing to give you.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57We both know the guy dragged out of the Clyde wasn't the same guy we saw at the house.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well, maybe there was two guys at the house.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- What about the guy with the braces? - We haven't traced him yet.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Wait, this might help.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Braces gave it to me.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08It should have his fingerprints on it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Why haven't you given this to us sooner?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Didn't know it was important. - Aye, you did.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Look, he forced it into my hand.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17He made out that he was doing her a favour -
0:25:17 > 0:25:19try keep her boozing sessions out of the paper.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Look, no need to explain. Nobody's squeaky-clean, eh?
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Get that analysed.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Meehan!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41What do you make of our new editor-in-chief, then?
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Be nice to have a woman in charge.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Probably best not to get too chummy.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- How come?- She's not cut from the same cloth as you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49And I mean that as a compliment.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- How's it going? - You're in the clear.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00My arse was flappin' like a flag in a hurricane.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Wait till Maloney gets her hands on you, then you'll know all about it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I know. Did you clock the trouser suit? Armani.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08What kind of wages is she on?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Down that, I've got an idea.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26How do you know about Armani trouser suits anyway?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30You wear sheepskin coats and dodgy ties. Hardly Don Johnson.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I can't wear Armani because I can't afford it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Doesn't mean I can't appreciate it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Why do you want to talk to them anyhow?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Oh, count me out, I'm allergic to patchouli oil. Bye-bye.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Support the miners! Stop Thatcher destroying the coal industry.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Cheers.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Did, erm, any of you guys know Mark Thillingly?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Worked for Amnesty. Lawyer. Supported the cause.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Who wants to know?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Daily News.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Support the miners! Thatcher out!
0:27:24 > 0:27:27If you knew him, talk to me. I'm on your side.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32He was in the student union a few days ago. He seemed fine.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Where did he usually work?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Easterhouse Law Centre.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40His suicide couldn't have anything to do with the Vhari Burnett murder, could it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41I don't know.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44They used to be an item, so I heard.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- When was that?- Years ago. At university. Before he married.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50He finished it, I think.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Didn't stop his wife being jealous, though.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Him and Vhari had been working for the NUM -
0:27:54 > 0:27:57trying to find ways to stop the Government confiscating their cash.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Don't think she liked it. - Erm, what was his wife's name?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Diana.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04She was always going on at him to give up his work for Amnesty.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Get on in the world.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Bit of a true-blue Tory by the sounds of things.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14The police think he killed Vhari, don't they?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- I don't think they know what happened.- He didn't.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19He got out of breath climbing up a flight of stairs.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Honestly, he was emotionally
0:28:21 > 0:28:23and physically incapable of doing that to anyone.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Thank you.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Get your old man balls off that chair.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48This is my desk. This has always been my desk.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50We need it for training.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58We do "A Week In The Life Of A Miner's Wife"...
0:28:58 > 0:29:03The strike through her eyes. Food parcels. No Christmas pressies.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Scabs. Families torn apart.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Then we do a breakdown of what's in an average food parcel.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Who gives and who doesn't?- No.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16We're going with a different angle. Is the food poisoned?
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Are they stealing it from one another? I don't want solidarity, I want dirt.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24The NUM's money's being sequestered. They can't put it in banks.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Red Willie's moving his money around in suitcases so the Government can't get their hands on it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31You find out exactly where that money's going.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35And if you can't, just make up some less-than-flattering theories about what they're doing with it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Go on.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Sullivan wants to see you.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07We got a set of prints off your 50 quid.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I'd better go.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Lafferty. You ever heard of him?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- I know the name. - You should.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24He's one of the ranking gangsters in the city.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Was he at the Burnett house?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Do you know a woman called Vhari Burnett?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31I was in the Lucky Black till seven.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33It's a snooker club in the Calton.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34That isn't what I asked you.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Do you know it, Sullivan?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I could swear I saw you skulking about.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Either that or there's a wino in there that's your double.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45HE CHUCKLES
0:30:48 > 0:30:53I'm always in the Lucky Black. It's a wee home from home.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56We found an object at Vhari Burnett's house the night she died.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Got your prints all over it.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Can we wrap this up?
0:31:00 > 0:31:04I'm missing my aerobics class and my core needs to flow.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Know what I'm saying?
0:31:09 > 0:31:13If his alibi checks out, we'll just have to release him.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16I mean, technically, he could have touched that 50 quid any time.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19It links him to Mr Braces, though, doesn't it?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22You follow Lafferty and he'll lead you straight to him.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26You can't let him go.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I'm the only one that ties him to the crime.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30What if he comes after me?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33He won't. You can't identify him.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I've told no-one about the note. Neither has Gallagher.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43By the way, you can't use any of this, Meehan. Right?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Do we understand each other?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Eh?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52PHONE RINGS
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- 'Hello?'- Hi, there. Could I speak to Karen Burnett, please?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57'Who wants her?'
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's just a friend. I'm calling about her sister Vhari.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02'I haven't seen her since last week.'
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- Do you have a work number for her? - 'I've tried but she's not there. It's...here.'
0:32:06 > 0:32:10'Erm...063298746.'
0:32:10 > 0:32:14'If you manage to speak to her, tell her the rent's due next week, will you?'
0:32:17 > 0:32:19KEYPAD TONES
0:32:26 > 0:32:28RINGING TONE
0:32:28 > 0:32:30'Hello, GCHQ.'
0:32:34 > 0:32:38So she says, "I've got a sore finger." And the doctor says, "Is it your whole finger?"
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- And she says, "No, it's the one next to it". - ALL LAUGH
0:32:41 > 0:32:44McVie!
0:32:44 > 0:32:47By the way, did I tell you what Devlin said about my miners' wives idea?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- What's up?- Burnett's sister worked for GCHQ in Cheltenham.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55The intelligence gathering place.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- I know what it is. - Well, she was a data analyst.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- So? - So, they say she's on leave.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Her flatmate hasn't seen her since last week. Where is she?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Lying on a beach somewhere?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09With her sister dead?
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Hmm.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15There's a link between the death of Vhari Burnett and Thillingly's suicide.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Her sister's missing and we think that might tie in as well.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20We're not sure how exactly yet.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24But we think we might be able to find the killer before the cops do.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26And then what? Cos we can't print it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28And why not?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Cos we could prejudice the trial.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34If you're sure you know who the killer is, I say print it.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We'll just call their bluff. We'll tell them sue or be damned.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39What if we're culpable for getting a killer off on a technicality?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It's not our problem.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Listen, the Daily News catches the killer of some goody-two-shoes lawyer, that's fantastic!
0:33:46 > 0:33:50And if they can throw in some kinky sex that's even better.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Well, we'll see what we can do.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54It's a bit of a crush in the back of that call car...
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Well, I think it is our problem. We're not above the law.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59There's such a thing as ethics.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02That's right, yep, it's one of the home counties.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Follow it up.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09We'll decide when to print when we see what you've got.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11And you're still on the call car, so do it between shifts.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26You two look happy.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Take it you never got your P45, then?- Mm-hm.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37You like the little brunette, don't you?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Is she your pet project? Paddy Meehan, girl reporter?
0:34:44 > 0:34:46You got a problem with that?
0:34:47 > 0:34:52I thought she'd remind you of you...all those years ago.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55When you were her age.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You screwed her yet?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Why not?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Is she not your type?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- What is?- Not you.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Yeah, don't flatter yourself.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Fancy a drink?
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Yeah, OK.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56So I checked the clippings library.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58You've written some interesting stuff.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04The Baby Brian case.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07That shows a ruthless streak, which is what you need,
0:36:07 > 0:36:12cos, trust me, Paddy, if we didn't have tits, they'd hunt us.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17I do want to give you one little bit of advice, though.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Don't get involved with Devlin.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I wasn't planning to.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24You might not be, but he is.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- It's not like that. - It's always like that.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29You see him as a father figure, right?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Well, I'm telling you, that's not how he sees himself.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34And the cards are all in his favour.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Trust me, been there.- You have?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Mm-hm.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44I was just like you. I was hungry, I was ambitious.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45I was going to change the world.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50And I had an affair with the deputy editor, and when it all went wrong, the newsroom turned on me.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52I was out that door.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56They'd been looking for an excuse to drag me down to their level and I gave it to them.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02It didn't do you any harm in the long run, though, did it? Look at you now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I had to sell my soul to get here.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Devlin's not the type.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Paddy, they are ALL the type.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Come on, what do you know about him, really? His private life?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16He's divorced.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Mm-hm. How long?
0:37:18 > 0:37:20A few years.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22And now has he got a girlfriend?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Doubt it. He sleeps in the office. He hardly goes home.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28And is that it?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I bet he knows a lot more about you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I'm not interested in him that way. He's the same age as my dad.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44If you need some help with this story, I'm here.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Use me.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Forget about McVie, he's a dead weight.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53And Devlin? Well, as much as we both admire him,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55he could jump ship at any minute,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57so there's no point hitching your cart to him.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01I say we watch each other's back.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Deal?- Deal.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14But...you won't get very far in this game
0:38:14 > 0:38:18taking bribes not to write a story. See you tomorrow.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Did you tell Maloney about the 50 quid?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Me? I'm shit scared to even look at her.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Come on, we should speak to Thillingly's wife.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45What if him and Vhari started up again? She sounds like the possessive type.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Oh, crime of passion?

0:39:04 > 0:39:05I don't know.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15We're from the Daily News.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Sorry to visit you at this difficult time, but we'd like to speak to you about Mark.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23And we wanted to talk about his relationship with Vhari Burnett.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Well done(!)- What?

0:39:33 > 0:39:35(Well, speak to her, then.)
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I'm really sorry about Mark.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Everyone I've spoken to says that he would never hurt Vhari.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47That's what I think, too. The cops can ruin his reputation.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51If you let us, we can put his side of the story out there.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53LOCK OPENS
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Were Mark and Vhari involved in a case together?
0:40:01 > 0:40:02I'm not sure.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11On the night that Vhari was killed, Mark came home about...eight.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15His nose was swollen and bleeding.
0:40:18 > 0:40:24He said...that someone had tried to mug him in the car park outside the office.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30He didn't want to call the police because it was a client.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33I didn't believe him.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Did he go out again?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41No.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45But later, I heard him on the phone.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49He was...pleading.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55After that, he just sat drinking.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02When I woke up...he was gone.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Do you think he killed himself?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Of course.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22In the note that he left, he said that he'd let Vhari and me down.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25It's depressed nonsense.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30He'd been really low after he put all that weight on.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33He left a note and mentioned Vhari?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38He put her name before mine!

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Parents are dead, but they've got a half-brother.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57Look, we're journalists. We just want to help your sister.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01So what happened to you?
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Two guys turned up here a couple of nights ago.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07Said they wanted to buy some paintings for cash.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10I let them in and next thing I know, I'm getting a severe kicking.
0:45:10 > 0:45:15- Why? What did they want?- Karen. But I've no idea where she is.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17You're not close to Karen and Vhari, then?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20We share the same dad, but we didn't grow up together.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22And you haven't spoken to Karen since Vhari was killed?
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Why do you think these guys were trying to find her?
0:45:28 > 0:45:32I just want to stay out of whatever she's got herself involved in.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35What do they look like, these guys? Did one of them wear braces?
0:45:35 > 0:45:37I don't remember.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Well, what about Mark Thillingly? Do you think he killed Vhari?
0:45:40 > 0:45:45If Mark Thillingly didn't kill Vhari, the killer is still at large.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Karen could be his next victim.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54Danny, we just want to talk to her. If she's in trouble, we can help.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Hey, I've been in this business a long time, son.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01I know when I'm getting stone-walled.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Tell us where to find her. You could be saving her life.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12She called the day after Vhari was killed.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16She said it was all her fault, that she'd put Vhari in danger.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17Well, did she say why?
0:46:17 > 0:46:21Only that she'd got her involved in something she shouldn't have.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25Something to do with the miners' leader, Willie McDade.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27I didn't know what to believe.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30I thought she was having some kind of a breakdown.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34- So what did you tell these guys that kicked your face in?- Nothing.
0:46:34 > 0:46:35You're a crap liar, Danny.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42I mentioned that Vhari owns an old building.
0:46:42 > 0:46:46But Karen wouldn't be there. It's falling to pieces.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48It's been used as a storehouse for years.
0:46:50 > 0:46:55Don't feel bad. Most people would have said something under the circumstances.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Yeah. I didn't think I was most people.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16- MAN:- 'How many cops does it take to change a light bulb?'

0:47:30 > 0:47:33- Me?- You're just as funny as the acts they get in here.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36Especially in that Val Doonican outfit.
0:47:36 > 0:47:40They hand these jumpers out when you join the force, all right?
0:47:40 > 0:47:43- Along with the moustaches. - I suppose somebody's got to do it.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46Aye, well, it's better than being in your game.
0:47:46 > 0:47:51People who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57To be honest, I wanted to ask you about Mark Thillingly. The note he left?
0:47:57 > 0:47:58Ah.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03Well, I wasn't privy to that, I'm afraid.
0:48:03 > 0:48:04You'll have to ask Gallagher.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07What about the man at the house, Mr Braces?
0:48:07 > 0:48:09We haven't been able to trace him again.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Business associate, maybe. He's not a suspect.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16And Lafferty? Did Vhari ever prosecute him?
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Not that I know of.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24Look, the word is, Vhari and her sister inherited money from their mother.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28Lafferty probably heard about it on the grapevine and got stuck into her
0:48:28 > 0:48:30to find out where she keeps her cash.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Could you get me his address?
0:48:33 > 0:48:39Bobby Lafferty killed his own dog by chucking it out a window because it chewed on his Rangers scarf.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41That's all you need to know about him.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Right, OK.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Just promise me you won't doorstep him. I'm not joking.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56I'll just use it to get some info on him. That's all, honest.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Let me make a call.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Right, cheers.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14There you go.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17He has various addresses. This is one of his warehouses.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Word is he uses a flat there sometimes.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24Best I can do. Now don't say I'm not nice.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30So...how long have you been married?
0:49:33 > 0:49:36- You don't mess about, do you? - I'm just asking.

0:49:45 > 0:49:49You don't know what it's like being in the police. You have to fit in.
