0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains some violent scenes
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- That woman has blood on her face. - She's a lawyer.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10She wants us to leave it.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13She had her teeth pulled out and her skull caved in with a hammer.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15That guy killed her, McVie, and we took money from him.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18The new editor-in-chief is on his way up the stairs.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21You need to start attracting some new readers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24The bad news is that not all of you will be embarking
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- on this exciting new journey. - Mark Thillingly. Law Society.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Amnesty International?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31There's a link between the death of Vhari Burnett
0:00:31 > 0:00:32and Thillingly's suicide.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Her sister's missing and we think that might tie in, as well.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38McVie!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45HEART MONITOR BEEPS
0:00:53 > 0:00:56It's just some personal things for Mr McVie.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I just want George to have everything he needs.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Thanks very much.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Meehan...trouble seems to follow you around.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Good job he got out the car when he did.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I think your surveillance techniques need a wee bit of work, though, eh?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21How did you get Lafferty's address anyway?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Couldn't have been DS Burns now, by any chance, could it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I hear you two are quite chummy these days.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30My personal life is MY business.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Not when it involves one of my officers it's not.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Lafferty's alibi checks out, by the way. He's no longer a suspect.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41So, you were wasting your time.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Mark Thillingly killed Vhari, we're sure of it.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And the petrol bomb? What exactly was that?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Well, what did you expect, raking around in his bins?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Oh...stay away from DS Burns.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01He can be a charmer...but he can be plenty of other things, as well.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13MUSIC: "Perfect Skin" by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions
0:02:13 > 0:02:15# I choose my friends
0:02:15 > 0:02:16# Only far too well
0:02:16 > 0:02:18# I'm up on the pavement
0:02:18 > 0:02:20# And they're all down in the cellar
0:02:20 > 0:02:24# With their government grants and my IQ
0:02:24 > 0:02:25# They brought me down to size
0:02:25 > 0:02:28# Academia blues
0:02:28 > 0:02:30HE GROANS
0:02:35 > 0:02:38# Up eight flights of stairs to her basement flat
0:02:38 > 0:02:40# Pretty confused, huh?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42# Being shipped around like that
0:02:42 > 0:02:44# Seems we climbed so high
0:02:44 > 0:02:45# Now we're down so low
0:02:45 > 0:02:48# Strikes me the moral of this song must be
0:02:48 > 0:02:50# There never has been one. #
0:02:54 > 0:02:56HE EXHALES DEEPLY
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Hey, you.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03What's up with your face? I'm fine.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I'm not feeling anything.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09They've got me doped up to the gunnels.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11When that car went up, I thought you were a goner.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You should change your name to Harry Houdini.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Who was your friend?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22What?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25A nice man came in and dropped off some stuff for you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Colin.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Is that your brother?- No.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Just a friend?- Did I say that?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37You're not saying anything.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43He's my partner, Paddy.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- In what?- Life.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Your boyfriend?! You kept that a secret.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Can you imagine what it would have been like working in there
0:03:56 > 0:03:58with that lot, if they knew?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00They would have made my life a misery.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05They're not exactly in touch with their feminine side, are they?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Neither were you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Well, that was an act.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Why am I telling you this?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- The drugs, probably.- Mmm.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Yeah, that's it. Just forget I said it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26I'm delusional. I'm so drugged up I've woke up gay.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29THEY LAUGH
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Ooh, I'm away with it.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Is Colin away with it, as well?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Seeing how they've given you this truth drug,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41anything else you'd like to tell me?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47No. I think, er, that's probably enough.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And if you tell anybody else,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I will gouge your eyeballs out with a soup spoon.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56You don't need to worry about me. I hate people that can't keep secrets.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59HE GROANS
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Oh, jeez. Get the nurse, will you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I think I could do with another wee dash of that morphine.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13You wishing you could turn back time?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Yeah. Spot on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19In a good way or a bad way?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Let's just forget this happened, shall we? Can we do that?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Yeah, It's already forgotten.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You know, all I wanted was a welcome drink.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36You really didn't have to take it that far.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Dick!
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Dan, actually.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49You have got a big gob.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Aye, thanks very much, it has been mentioned.- Give the funnies a rest.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54You told Gallagher about us!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57And how exactly did Lafferty know we were going to check him out?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Innocent on both charges.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02See thanks to you, McVie's lying in a hospital bed.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05And now Gallagher thinks I'll shag anyone with a cheesy line in jokes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Cheesy?- Oh, piss off, Burns!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10'All right, listen up.'
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I want everything we've got on Lafferty. All right, everything.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17If he thinks he can attack one of us and get away with it, he can think again.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Thinking's not his strongpoint.- The cops don't even know if it was him. - Course it was him, the toerag.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I want as much muck as we can find thrown at him and his family, all right?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- They're robbing scumbags and I want the whole city to know it. - Sounds good to me.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Get on with it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42OK, talk fast, I'm on hold.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I took a bribe.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48The night we were at Vhari Burnett's house. 50 quid.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51McVie said it was OK, I thought you should know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Took a bribe from who?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56The guy at the door.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59The guy that might have murdered her.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03He said it could harm her career if her drinking got into the paper.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05What, you work for him now, do you?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I needed the money. - DEVLIN SIGHS DEEPLY
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Our 'lecky was gonnae get cut off. - I don't pay you enough?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Not enough to support a whole family.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And you took the money and you walked away?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18And now you're putting yourself in danger, trying to make it right.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Or putting others in danger, to be precise.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I handed it over to the cops.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I thought it might have had the killer's fingerprints on it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Look, I know it was stupid to take it in the first place.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I couldn't hate myself any more.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It's not the reason that I became a journalist.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Yeah, well, you know what?
0:07:40 > 0:07:45You're not the first journalist to get a sore arse from sitting on their scruples.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Thing is, Maloney knew about it - the 50 quid.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53She must have a contact in the cop shop.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It's Gallagher.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I saw them, together.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15She's a fast mover, eh?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21The thing is, you and I are going to have to cover our backs
0:08:21 > 0:08:23when it comes to Miss Maloney.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- OK? Is that a deal?- If you say so.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Get some rest, you look knackered.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Hey, and no more backhanders,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36you understand? That can never happen again.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Yeah.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48How's McVie?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49He's OK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Whose idea was it to stake out the biggest psycho in the city, anyway?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58No, wait, don't tell me - you. See, if you ask me,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I think you'd be better sticking to the knitting supplement.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Well, nobody did ask you, because nobody gives a toss what you think.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Hey, get off.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I'm impressed by the loyalty that Devlin shows his staff.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22This McVie incident, he's taken it personally, hasn't he?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The press can't be intimidated by thugs.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Not unless they own the paper.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Keep that up and you're out the door.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I can't keep pulling it out of the bag. It's always on my shoulders, in the end.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46- I mean, what choice do you have? - Well we're no starving yet, are we? - Aye, well, we're not far from it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- What's up?- You sure you want to keep these cords? They've seen better days.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55They're looking for scabs to break the strike.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- Want to bus folk into Fife. Your mother thinks I should go.- A scab?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Are you serious?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Don't start getting all romantic about the working class. Leave that to the posh folk.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11- The union doesn't make the rules. - I can't do it. It goes against everything I believe.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12And what's that, exactly?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18No. No, no. No, tell me, I'm fascinated.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19What do you believe in, Conor Meehan?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Letting other people suffer because of your principles?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Well, I believe in having a roof over me head
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and I believe in making sure that there's food
0:10:28 > 0:10:29on the table for me children!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'd rather beg.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well, I've never accepted charity and I'm not going to start now.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You can't ask him to do this. He'll be despised.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Well, there's worse things.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Don't do it, Dad. Please.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Why did you say that to him?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It is none of your business.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03If we don't stick together, then we're nothing.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Oh, is that right, Comrade Paddy?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Well, I don't see you doing much to help others.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Stay out of this.- No.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12When you're in my house, my rules.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well, maybe I shouldn't be in your house.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Meaning?- Meaning, maybe it's time I got my own flat.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Well, if that's the way you feel, maybe you should.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32HEAVY BREATHING
0:11:43 > 0:11:44SHE GROANS
0:12:14 > 0:12:16SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:12:26 > 0:12:28No!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Come here. You're going nowhere.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Please. You don't have to do this. Please.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12# Pain and hatred and misery
0:13:13 > 0:13:16# And each time I feel like this inside
0:13:16 > 0:13:20# There's one thing I want to know
0:13:20 > 0:13:25# What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? #
0:13:25 > 0:13:28So, did you have any other valuables taken?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I did, yeah. I had a watch, my wallet...
0:13:32 > 0:13:35OK, well, if you do notice anything...
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Don't touch anything. Place was broken into last night.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Cops are checking for prints. Junkies, probably.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43What was the night editor doing?
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Sleeping, naturally.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48That the cop you were shagging?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56You fell for the mad wife in the attic routine, then?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Aye, apparently he's famous for it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Of course. the violin lessons are completely banjoed.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Not the only thing you'll not be able to do. Meehan'll help you out.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- LAUGHTER - What are you doing here?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Er, well I didnae want to lie in a hospital bed
0:14:19 > 0:14:20when we had a story to finish.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Hey, I'm absolutely fine. Totally compos mentis.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Just don't expect me to clap along to anything.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Listen, er, thanks very much for not mentioning Colin to that lot.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41And I won't, but you can't live a double life.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Well that's easy for you to say, you don't come from Barlanark.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Right, what have we got?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The cops believe that Thillingly killed Vhari Burnett,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- then topped himself. Why do we think different?- He's not the type.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55We need more on Thillingly, just in case he did it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58That's a double-page spread, easy. Are you missing something?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Somebody sent me a key.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- I wanted to check it out, but it's definitely gone.- A key?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Do you mind if I ask why CID are investigating a break-in?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Aye, I do. - Is it true, about your wife?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25On you go.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30See, I've heard it's just a line you spin,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33to justify why it's OK for you to sleep with other women.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Oh, women like you, you mean?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Stones. People. Glasshouses.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Put those words in the right order, Paddy.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Is it true?- You're right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47She didn't attack me with a bottle opener.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50She is just an everyday housewife.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It was a lie.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I knew it and you knew it, but it oils the wheels of deceit,
0:15:57 > 0:15:58doesn't it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00So don't dump your guilt on me.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Just tell us what we need to know!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And we can bring all this madness to an end.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You've got to let me out of here.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Well, I'll certainly give it serious consideration.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Now, you know what I did to your sister.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Well, that would pale into insignificance,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45compared to what I would do to you.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Now, who did you pass the information to?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59We don't do criminal cases here. Small stuff -
0:16:59 > 0:17:03people with rent problems, debt, expense claims for prison visits.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Was Mark at work on Tuesday?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06He was, aye.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And did he do or say anything out of the ordinary?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Do you mean did I think he was suicidal? No.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- You say that like he didn't kill himself.- I don't think he did.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Er, Mark's wife said that he was mugged that night.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- What?- Outside in the car park. - That didn't happen.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I waved to him as he drove away. It wasn't even dark when he left.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I do remember one thing, though.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35There was a red Mercedes in the car park. It left at the same time.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I only noticed it cos you don't get many of them in Easterhouse.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Listen, I really have to go. - Thank you for your time.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48What are you thinking?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53We should check out that old building that Karen's brother mentioned.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Never know your luck.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01McVie, look.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Karen?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Karen?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17What's that?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28You see anything?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It looks like she was here.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40There was a Mercedes following Thillingly.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Same Merc at Vhari's the night she died.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And what else have you got, apart from a bad case of sunburn?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48We know Karen Burnett had information on Red Willie.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49What if she gave it to Vhari?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53You're assuming this info came from the GCHQ where she worked, right?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Could be.- And this information was enough to lead to her death?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Karen Burnett obviously thinks so.- Does she?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01There's a lot of could be's and what if's.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Well, why were the guys who knocked lumps out of her half brother looking for her?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Maybe they were blackmailing Red Willie.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10And what if he paid someone to kill her?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Now that would be a good story.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15But why would Willie McDade be getting mixed up
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- with someone like Lafferty?- It comes back to the guy with the braces.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I think he's the guy that's driving the red Merc.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Yeah, well, we need to talk to Willie McDade, don't we? Get a quote.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27No problem. I know some of his team. I'll make a few calls.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Well, tell him we'll meet whenever and wherever he wants.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34You can't go. Look at the state of you. We want him to take us seriously.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Don't we need someone with a bit more experience on this?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42No, I don't. It's their story.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I'm not doing this without McVie.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Well, both of you go, then. Go on.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Come on. - HE CLAPS
0:19:51 > 0:19:53No problem.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54PADDY KNOCKS ON THE DOOR
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- I thought we were supposed to stick together.- Did I say that?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Look, it's just I really want to get out of the call car and into features.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06This story, it's my big chance.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Meehan, you took a bribe.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12You screwed a cop for information.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14You're a liability to this newspaper.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18The only reason you're still here is cos of Devlin.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21It was YOU who told Gallagher about Burns and me, wasn't it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Listen...when you get to where I am,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28you pull that ladder up behind you as fast as you can.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Otherwise, some bushy-tailed little idealist,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33like you, with some bizarre idea about sisterhood
0:20:33 > 0:20:37will be hanging on to the hem of your skirt like a Biafran orphan.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Hey.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Did you really think I was on your side?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Hmm.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Is there something we can do for you?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02We're here to see Willie McDade.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Is that the fourth estate banging at the door?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Let them in.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Thanks for agreeing to speak to us, Mr McDade.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Er, can I get you a drink?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18A wee Bells.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Do you want anything in it? - Another wee Bells.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We were hoping you could tell us
0:21:23 > 0:21:25what work Vhari Burnett was doing for the union.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27MCDADE CHUCKLES
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So you can taint the poor woman?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33This is a serious story we're doing. Not some anti-union muck raking.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Really? That makes a big change, yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Cos all you press boys have done up to now is print
0:21:39 > 0:21:42a pack of lies about how the NUM are supported by Soviet trust funds.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We think Vhari Burnett was killed
0:21:44 > 0:21:48because she had information about you. Sensitive information.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53You don't want this story to spiral, Mr McDade. It doesn't look good.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57So, you smell a wee scandal, do you, pet?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Well, let me tell you, this Red stays in his own bed. You can be sure of that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05If you tell us what you know, I promise we'll put your side of the story out there as best we can.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Oh, do you?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08MCDADE LAUGHS
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Ah, well, that sounds good, coming from the likes of you.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Thanks, Robert.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Right, I will tell yous this much.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Vhari was working really hard to stop our bank accounts being frozen.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Then a few days ago, Vhari tells me that she had proof there's
0:22:30 > 0:22:34a dirty tricks campaign against us, organised from the highest level.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36What sort of dirty tricks?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41They were using British and American intelligence networks, to keep track of us.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Covert counter-subversion, I think they call it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47It's got a nice ring to it, eh?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51They were trying to implicate union leaders in the theft of phoney cash deposits.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55So, does that sound like a story you'd like to print, eh?
0:22:55 > 0:23:00That would mean the government using GCHQ for political reasons.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Oh, away(!) Thatcher? The bubonic blonde.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- She wouldnae do that, would she?- Proof?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12She said she'd memos and files she'd give us next week.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Do you think she was killed because of this?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19There are people in the security services that would do anything
0:23:19 > 0:23:21to destroy us. Anything.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Now does that sound like a wee story you'd like to print?
0:23:25 > 0:23:26I would.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Well, excuse my cynicism, pet.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I don't think I'm gonnae be reading it any time soon.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a picket line to get to.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Wait, just out of interest,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49why didn't you hold a ballot before the strike?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Nae man should vote another man out a job.- I'm not sure I buy that.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55I'm no' selling it, hen.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Holy shit. This is a story and a half.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- If it's true.- It is true. I feel it in my bones.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10We just need to prove it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15They've got nothing. Hearsay. Not interested.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18The government can't use the intelligence services against the unions.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It's a gross misuse of power. Look, this is a strike.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- It's not a revolution.- I don't think you understand this. This is war.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- And this paper has already...- I'm gonnae go check out the cop shop.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Er, yeah, I'll stay here.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37- Find out exactly what she's saying in there.- Aye.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Somebody coming in from Pitt Street to pick this up.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51It was, er, Sullivan I wanted to talk to.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Sorry, no can do.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56By the way, if you're hoping for that 50 quid back, it's disappeared.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57What do you mean?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well, we do have the odd tea leaf round here.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You mean somebody stole it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I'm joking. It's probably been misplaced. It happens.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It'll turn up in a cupboard or something.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09But to be honest with you, it wasnae much use to us, anyway.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Got to go.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I've got an appointment to see Detective Sergeant Mulroy.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23OK, take a seat and I'll get him for you.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I wanted to say sorry about before.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I know you didn't tell anyone about us.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I got the wrong end of the stick.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Usually, you'd say something funny now.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Not that I want to throw any more cold water on your story,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51but this is a copy of a bank statement, in the name of Willie McDade.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Serious sums of cash in it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55He's using this dirty tricks thing
0:25:55 > 0:25:58to try and deflect us from finding the real crime -
0:25:58 > 0:26:01using the miners' hardship fund to line his own pocket.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- You just found this in the street? - I can't divulge my sources.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I need to know where you got this.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11A senior police officer, that's all you need to know.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14No, I'm going to need more than that, if you want us to print it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15What more do you need?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Anyone could have opened this account in his name.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Now, I'm going to need proof that money from this account
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- goes into his pockets.- You've got everything you need right there.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26And I want to see it in the evening edition.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- The cops have lost that 50-quid note.- Eh?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37They're trying to protect someone.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43You know, somebody sent me that key for a reason, with this article.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I think it's linked to Karen Burnett.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Mmm. What did the key look like?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53A small silver one. Had RGS on it and a number.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Mmm. RGS is a self-storage company. Mmm-hmm.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I bet Maloney saw me open the envelope.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Keep her busy a minute.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Er, could I have a word in your, er, shell-like?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Not really.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21It's, er, we're having a whip round for Big Malky.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Who?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Big Malky on reception. You know, with the sticky-out ears.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's actually a terrible story.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36He was lucky, because his mother had been a seamstress and, er,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40he took his ears home in fish and chip bag and she sewed them back on.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41What?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49What was it her mother had now? Er, elephantitis.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Yes, aye, big fat fingers and that's why the ears were...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59What the hell are you talking about?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I was just admiring your computer. Can't wait to start using one.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Any joy?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Oh.- Let's go.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Well, whatever was in there, Maloney must have it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33What is she playing at?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37She wants the story for herself.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Nice girls finish last, Paddy.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43What, you think this came from Karen Burnett?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45She might have seen my by-line.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Why else would Maloney use it, then not say what was inside?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- The files.- Dunno, maybe.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Yeah, well, you leave it with me.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54I'll see what she's holding back.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Can I buy you a drink?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Er...yeah. I'll meet you down there.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08COMPUTER BEEPS
0:30:42 > 0:30:45You've got everything - train tickets, ferry tickets?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Stop worrying.- You'll call Aunt Jean when you get to Paris.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- She'll let us know, right. - I said I would. I'm gonnae be fine.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Here's a sandwich for the train. You're not paying their prices. - Thanks.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- I should go with her.- Father Michael's meeting her off the train.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57She's in God's hands now.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I better watch my time.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00God bless.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Thanks.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Oh, I thought I'd missed you.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Mmm, nearly.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Are you sure about this?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I'm not wasting my life, Paddy.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I know you think I am, but I'm not.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I'll write. I promise.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I take it you've read these documents?
0:31:45 > 0:31:46I have.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49These prove that the intelligence services are running
0:31:49 > 0:31:51a dirty tricks campaign against the NUM.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56They suggest, among other things, planting drugs on union leaders,
0:31:56 > 0:32:01- paying for hookers to turn up at their hotel. - We'd never be so underhand(!)
0:32:01 > 0:32:03What were you planning on doing with this?
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Nothing. It's not the story the owners want.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Nothing? What type of journalist are you, eh?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15This could only be sanctioned from the very top -
0:32:15 > 0:32:19covert counter-subversion against the trade union movement. We have got to use this.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24It could be faked. It's not just the government that lies.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29- This could be a very clever stunt by the NUM.- You don't believe that.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Listen, I believe that people are capable of anything,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35especially self-righteous bleeding hearts.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39They're willing to screw anybody to get what they want.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41How was it for you, by the way? I did forget to ask.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48It's that button there.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57You do know you can't print any of that, don't you?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It comes under the Official Secrets Act.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06And just so you know, the other night, it wasn't just about work.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Not for me, anyway.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Well, it was for me.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36HE SCREAMS
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Stay where you are.- Shit.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Hey! - HE GRIMACES
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Hey!
0:33:50 > 0:33:53PADDY COUGHS
0:34:01 > 0:34:04You were sick yesterday morning, as well.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05I'm fine.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I'm just really stressed at work.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10They're firing people left, right and centre.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14There isn't another reason, is there?
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Don't be daft.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18It's not just Mary Ann who's been living like a nun.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20I hope so, because that's all we'd need.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Do you mean another mouth to feed or the shame and scandal of a single mother?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Oh, single mother. Is that what they call them these days?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Oh, no, we'd a different name.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- If you could do it for me. - Shug, shut up.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Hey, listen up.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45I want everything we can find on this, er, Mr Braces,
0:34:45 > 0:34:48the man you saw at Vhari Burnett's house, all right?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51And I want his name..now.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Sorry, can I phone you back?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Shug, have you got anything?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Try the Amnesty office or the Register of Lawyers.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13He must be connected to the Burnett sisters in some way.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Red Merc.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Anybody got a contact at the DVLC?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20How about your copper buddy? Can he help us here?
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- No chance.- OK, then.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Check all the car rental firms, dealerships, garages,
0:35:26 > 0:35:27insurance companies.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Compile a list of all cars bought and all cars sold.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I mean, how many red Mercs can there be in this city?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36That'll probably only take about two weeks, eh?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51A list of Mercedes owners.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53And that's the last favour I'm doing you.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Any idea who broke into the paper yet?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Do you not hear what I just said?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I think it might have been security services.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I'm sorry. You were right.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08I knew what I was getting myself into.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Maybe we could start again.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Start what again?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Look, the thing is, Paddy, you're never gonnae trust me
0:36:17 > 0:36:19because you know I'm already lying to my wife.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23And if I can lie to her, I can lie to you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Right?
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Hey, it's my own fault.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31I wish I hadn't spun the same old line with you, but I did
0:36:31 > 0:36:32and I can't change that.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35And now it's...
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Yeah, it's poisoned. Us, I mean.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45See, it'll always be there.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49The mistrust and sooner or later it'll rear its ugly head.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54I wish I'd treated you with more respect.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00See I bet even now you're thinking "Oh,
0:37:00 > 0:37:01"is this just the same old Burns line?"
0:37:04 > 0:37:06I might need your help soon.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Not with this. About something else.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15No. Sorry. We need to call it a day.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Or we're both gonnae get hurt here.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I've got a red Mercedes rented by...
0:37:31 > 0:37:34somebody called Mr Paul Neilson and we've checked him out.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Um, gave a London address.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Apart from that, we can't even find a video membership.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Aye, this guy lives under the radar.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43What, he's got no visible means of support?
0:37:43 > 0:37:47He's living in Kensington. What is he, an undercover cop?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49A spook? What?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Whoever he is, my guess is he hired Lafferty to do his dirty work.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54He doesn't want any of this traced back to him.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Right, these are the questions we need answered, all right?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Did Neilson kill Vhari to shut her up and, if so, who's he working for?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03We need to make a connection between Vhari and Lafferty,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Lafferty and Neilson, Neilson and the security services.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09And you, you find Karen Burnett.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11If she can confirm that Lafferty killed her sister
0:38:11 > 0:38:14then we've got a source, all right? But come on, we haven't got much time.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Spike this Burnett story.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- No can do. It's out of the box. - Put it back in the box.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Look, right now, we've got a scoop, haven't we?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27But we won't have in a couple of days' time.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30You are never going to prove that this guy, Neilson,
0:38:30 > 0:38:33is part of the security services or that he killed Vhari Burnett.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Come on, spike it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37It's a good story, Maloney. It'll sell newspapers.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39From the man whose circulation's plummeting!
0:38:41 > 0:38:42You know what?
0:38:43 > 0:38:48I bet you bang on about equality of the sexes all the time.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Oh, I'm sure you've spent many a long night listening
0:38:51 > 0:38:54sympathetically to some girl droning on about The Female Eunuch,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57when really, you were just trying to get into her knickers.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00You see, I know your type.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Oh, you'll say all the right things to get what you want, but really,
0:39:03 > 0:39:07in your heart of hearts, you hate being told what to do by a woman.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08HE SIGHS
0:39:10 > 0:39:13You spike this, now, or you are sacked.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17And so is everyone else in this newsroom.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31You're the boss.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45I thought he had more balls than that.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- Me, too. - Never heard you saying anything.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- I'm not the news editor. - Neither is Devlin, it would appear.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- Well, come on, off your arses, we've got a story to write. - What about Maloney?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Let me worry about her.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22You, get down to that scrap yard. Follow Lafferty.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Don't let him out of your sight.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Well, come on. Pronto Tonto.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Where is this clown going?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Come on, don't lose him.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Don't wannae get too close. OK?
0:40:55 > 0:40:56There he is.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07It was never like this for Gregory Peck in The Guns Of Navarone.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Let's see.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20You think he's gonnae put a body in there, don't you?
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Don't you?
0:41:23 > 0:41:24I think we should call the cops.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26No, we can't trust the cops.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28She'll be dead before they do anything.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29She could be dead now.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Suit yourself, I'll do it on my own.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Paddy, will you look at my hands?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I'd be useless in a scrap.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Right, look, there's a gate over there.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Why don't you go try distract them and I'll see if I can find a way in.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Come on.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Now we've got rid of these,
0:42:02 > 0:42:06I don't want there to be anything left of her.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07I get it.
0:42:07 > 0:42:13No, no. She's got to disappear... without a trace. Do you understand?
0:42:13 > 0:42:14Aye.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32You've got a visitor.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42Do it now.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20This is private property.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24Do you not remember me? George McVie, Daily News.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26I wanted a wee chat about Karen Burnett.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29I don't know anyone called Karen Burnett.
0:43:29 > 0:43:34But you know her sister, Vhari. We met at her house.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37I've never seen you before in my life.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39That's what's known in the newspaper business
0:43:39 > 0:43:41as a blatant, bastardin' lie.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52You have got five seconds to leave or I'm going to start making
0:43:52 > 0:43:56balloon animals out of your intestines.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59PADDY GASPS
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Oh, my God, get up. Oh, my God, get up!
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Move, move!
0:44:25 > 0:44:27We know about the dirty tricks campaign.
0:44:27 > 0:44:28We know who you work for.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31And we know you tortured Vhari Burnett to death.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Read about it in the Daily News tomorrow.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50You are so out of your depth here.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56You are just a hack nobody'll miss.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58My mother will.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03No, she won't. Cos I'll bury her with you.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Well, if that's gonnae be your attitude,
0:45:11 > 0:45:12this interview's at an end.
0:45:21 > 0:45:22It's OK.
0:45:26 > 0:45:27It's OK.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Come on, McVie, hurry up!
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Shh. You're OK. You're OK.
0:46:08 > 0:46:09Phone a doctor.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Mark and Vhari were working for the NUM.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22I gave them the information I had...
0:46:24 > 0:46:25..because I thought the union
0:46:25 > 0:46:30should know the government were using GCHQ and its outstations
0:46:30 > 0:46:33to gather information for a covert campaign against them.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37Why did Mark Thillingly kill himself?
0:46:40 > 0:46:41He told the police about the files.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44He thought they could be trusted.
0:46:47 > 0:46:48It was after that he was attacked.
0:46:50 > 0:46:51He was scared.
0:46:53 > 0:46:54He, er...
0:46:56 > 0:46:59..he, he told his attackers Vhari had the files.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03He couldn't live with himself after that.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10You understand that if we print this interview,
0:47:10 > 0:47:12it's your word against the government
0:47:12 > 0:47:14and they'll come after you with everything they've got.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17I mean, they'll destroy your reputation.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21And also, you've admitted handing over classified information.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23It's a violation of The Official Secrets Act.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25- You could go to prison. - I don't care.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28I want the man who killed my sister named.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31I want the people who paid him named.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33If I don't do anything, Mark and Vhari died for nothing.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Maybe Karen could go on a holiday.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41What?
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Maybe somebody could pay for her to take a trip.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Some place quiet, till this all blows over.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49- This isn't going to blow over. - People need to know.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02OK, let's get her out of the country, eh?
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Meehan, you start writing, OK?
0:48:07 > 0:48:08Sure thing, boss.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25What's this?
0:48:25 > 0:48:27That's our front page.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36Well, it looks like you did a really good job with that story, Paddy.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38It's just a pity it's the wrong story.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42You see, we're going with my angle. Red Willie's slush fund.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46Er, no, we're not, because this has been planted by the security services.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48You print that and they'll shut this paper down.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53You willing to sacrifice all these people
0:48:53 > 0:48:54just for your principles, are you?
0:48:56 > 0:48:58It's proofed. Print it.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Thank you.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12So, what do we want to do?
0:49:12 > 0:49:13Go with Maloney's story or Meehan's?
0:49:13 > 0:49:15ALL: Meehan's
0:49:20 > 0:49:23It's not worth working for those bastards, anyway.
0:49:23 > 0:49:24Might as well go out with a bang.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28File your copy, Meehan. We go to print in 20 minutes.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37Meehan.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40We're running a story tomorrow and you two play a leading part.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- We do?- Fame at last, eh?
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Oh, I don't think this is the type you had in mind.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47I wondered if you'd like to give me a quote.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49A quote about what, exactly?
0:49:49 > 0:49:52On how officers from this station helped security services
0:49:52 > 0:49:53cover up the murder of Vhari Burnett.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59And how did we do that?
0:50:00 > 0:50:04Her murder wasn't investigated properly. Witnesses ignored.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06You're a better cop than that, Gallagher.
0:50:06 > 0:50:07Somebody told you to back off.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11I need to speak to Meehan alone, for a minute.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18You're pointing the finger at the wrong person.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21I've already had a chat with the editor-in-chief of your paper about this.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Maloney? Why didn't you talk to me?
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Why talk to the monkey when I can have a drink with the organ grinder?
0:50:26 > 0:50:29Well, she buried whatever information you gave her.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31You're gonnae have to give it to me now.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40You're right. It wasn't our idea to concentrate on Thillingly.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42DCI Sullivan's orders.
0:50:44 > 0:50:49So if you wannae accuse anybody of corruption...accuse him.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54And that, Paddy, is not a quote.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33I've got a mate on the Evening Times. He'll get me in the door.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35And that's as far as you'll get.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Let's face it, Meehan's the only one with a future.
0:51:39 > 0:51:40We're washed up.
0:51:42 > 0:51:43Hear, hear.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04We could have been a great team, if you'd just listened to me.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09You had no intention of working with me.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13That's where you're wrong.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31RADIO: And here are the late-night headlines from Radio Scotland.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33The government has been rocked by claims in tomorrow's
0:52:33 > 0:52:37Glasgow Daily News that the murder of Vhari Burnett,
0:52:37 > 0:52:40a well-known lawyer in the city, is linked to a dirty tricks campaign
0:52:40 > 0:52:43by the security services against the NUM.
0:52:43 > 0:52:44HE BANGS ON THE DOOR
0:52:49 > 0:52:50HE BANGS AGAIN
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Who is it?
0:52:54 > 0:52:57We need to talk - about our contract.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04What contract?
0:53:04 > 0:53:05The one I'm terminating.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25PADDY COUGHS
0:53:38 > 0:53:40All right?
0:53:40 > 0:53:43Why didn't you pass on the information Gallagher gave you?
0:53:43 > 0:53:44He was trying to help.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49It seemed to me that he was trying to cover his own incompetence.
0:53:49 > 0:53:50Oh, you lying cow.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Hardly an acute observation.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57Well enjoy the taste of victory, Meehan, cos...
0:53:57 > 0:53:59if you do have a career left after this,
0:53:59 > 0:54:01getting yourself up the duff will surely kill it.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04What?
0:54:04 > 0:54:07Sorry, darling, but you're either bulimic or you're pregnant.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12No, it's too soon, isn't it?
0:54:12 > 0:54:14Depends when you ovulate.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24I'm gay.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27What have you got to be gay about?
0:54:30 > 0:54:32No, I'm gay.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38I've got a partner called Colin.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42We've been together for 12 years.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48It's a red letter day, right enough.
0:54:53 > 0:54:54It certainly is.
0:54:56 > 0:54:57Cheers, big guy.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01MCVIE LAUGHS
0:55:01 > 0:55:05RADIO: In an interview with the newspaper, Karen Burnett alleges her sister
0:55:05 > 0:55:07was murdered by Glasgow gangster Robert Lafferty,
0:55:07 > 0:55:09who she claims was murdered...
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Where do you think you're going?
0:55:12 > 0:55:14McCallum International want you to stay.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19You doubled the circulation with that front page.
0:55:19 > 0:55:23And at the end of the day, that's all that really matters to them.
0:55:24 > 0:55:25Integrity sells.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28So what, no more, er, interference?
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Within reason.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40RADIO: Government spokesperson has stated that the claims are absurd
0:55:40 > 0:55:43and there is no proof whatsoever that the security services
0:55:43 > 0:55:44would be involved.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Scottish miners' leader, Willie McDade,
0:55:48 > 0:55:51has said he will be releasing a statement later this morning.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53More reaction to this explosive story later in the programme.
