Bel: Um, thank you for
being here, Karen.
I am surprised you said yes.
Karen: So, what's all this for,
then, anyway?
Bel: New, uh, docu-series.
Streaming platform. Hmm?
Karen: You're moving up in the world.
Bel: Could say the same
about you, Inspector.
I've worked with the police
long enough to know
you don't like the term
"cold cases," do you?
We use the term
"historic cases" in my unit.
To do what we do,
you can't see time as a barrier.
You have to see it as an opportunity.
Well, as the years pass, people
age, the world changes,
evidence comes to light.
Man: Last night's storm turned
out to be one of the worst
the East Coast has seen in years.
Heavy rain through the night
has led to flooding
in some parts of Fife and Perthshire.
Bel: Is that
how a case usually comes to you?
Something new is unearthed?
Karen: Or technology takes
a leap forward.
Suddenly, we have
a novel way of looking at DNA
or blood spatter,
a new database to search.
I don't believe in lack of evidence.
I just haven't spoken
to the right person yet.
Haven't run the right test.
Bel: It sounds like
you don't choose the case,
the case chooses you.
Uh, I wouldn't put it quite like that.
Do you have any agency
over what you investigate?
Karen: I don't like the idea
of choosing a victim.
Bel: You do work for an institution
that has time constraints and a budget.
Presumably, you do have to be,
in some way, selective.
I like to prioritise those
that have had the least time
and resources spent on them.
The forgotten victims.
Karen: Not forgotten by the families.
Bel: No, but by the media, perhaps.
I don't like to be swayed by that.
You do have to be responsive
to what people care about.
Sometimes,
it's not what people care about.
It's about what the press
have decided to run with,
which often the most salacious story
and the most photogenic victim.
And then, to avoid criticism,
you have to be seen
to be reviewing those
sensationalist cases.
Not seen to be reviewing them.
We have to review them.
A lot of time and money
is spent on them.
So you are swayed by the media.
Uh, no, actually, that's
Do you know what, Bel?
No. I have work to do.
Sarge, how'd it go?
It's Inspector now, Mint.
Sorry.
Why did you let me do that? With her?
I don't know how I would ever
be able to stop you.
I'm good at doing the job.
Mint, not talking about the job.
Right. Well, next time, just let me know
if you need help with anything.
What?! You're not media-trained, either.
No, but I've watched a lot
of Arnold Schwarzenegger
speeches on YouTube.
Pirie, Mint, my office now.
[ Sighs ]
I'm assuming you know Dr. Wilde?
What's going on?
Body found up at Donlessie Quarry.
River: The weather made
the quarry overflow.
They were struggling to date the remains
because it was in the wetlands,
in the peat.
Have we got an ident on him?
- Not yet.
- They've found something better.
- Right. A Vauxhall.
- There's a code on the side.
We ran it through the system,
trying to find an owner, and
They found one.
Look, I-I think it needs
more investigation.
- Who is it?
- We should prioritise getting
- an ID on the body.
- River!
It's Catriona Grant's.
That key is for her car.
The one that she
and her son were kidnapped in.
Jesus Christ!
Catriona Grant? Am I supposed to
know who that is?
Scotland's John Paul Getty?
John Paul? As in the pope?
She was an heiress to an oil fortune.
Her and her son were held for ransom,
and then the ransom was never paid,
and they were never seen again.
- Listen, this cannot leak.
- It won't, sir.
This this story this story
is like crack to these scumbags.
They'll be up your arse
quicker than a
You don't need to finish that, sir.
Pick your team. As many as you
want from Serious Crime.
You will need the manpower on this one.
I'm assuming you'll want
Dr. Wilde on forensics?
If she'll do it.
This is one of the biggest
missing-person cases
in this country's history.
Of course she'll do it.
Are you okay?
I just said in Bel's stupid documentary
that I hate cases that
get reviewed loads
and money and attention
thrown at them because what?
The victim's a photogenic heiress,
and her dad's a fat-cat,
climate-destroying oil magnate?
- You said that?
- No!
Nearly.
Hey, hey, first of all,
you don't mean any of that.
You don't judge a victim
like that. I know you don't.
That's just the wine and the panic.
Second of all, you are made
for these cases, Karen.
'Cause you can see past all the BS.
You can cut through the noise.
I know, but
if I mess this one up,
the consequences are
- They'll be bigger and louder.
- Yeah.
And you will handle them.
With your help.
- Karen
- I need you on my team, Phil.
- You can build a great team
- Not without you.
No one at work knows we're together.
Yeah, 'cus it's nobody's business.
Alright, but it's one thing
when you're just crossing
paths at the kettle.
I don't think I can hide it
if we're working the same case.
Well, Mint already knows,
and he's not said anything.
But what about everyone else?
We'll be really careful.
Come here.
Might even be fun.
- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
[ Karen chuckles ]
We haven't done this
since the Duff case.
Yeah.
And look how that turned out.
Alright. Alright.
But this is the last one.
After this, we report
the relationship to
Hmm. Yes.
I will call Lees
and I'll say straight up,
"My heart belongs to Phil Parhatka."
- Okay, uh, deal's off.
- He is my baby.
- And I am his.
- I am out.
- You've ruined it.
- No!
- You have!
- Come here, come here.
Come here, come here.
No, you know you
- You're in.
- I'm in.
I hope you're not recruiting
the whole team like this.
I am at my most persuasive
after seven glasses of wine.
Seven? Let's get cracking, then.
- Cheers. Cheers.
- Okay, cheers.
Are you hung over?
No. The sun is very bright.
Just take notes
if I have to leave the room.
Yeah. Of course. Yeah.
But you're not hung over, so
No.
They are still working on him,
so no full report,
but we do know how he died.
- Gunshot wound to the head.
- Mm-hmm.
But we haven't found the bullet.
Do you have an ident?
Uh
the peat preserved
his hands pretty well,
so we managed to put together
a set of prints.
We ran those through the system,
and, yeah, we have a match.
Are you hung over?
Karen: Kevin Campbell.
Born 1962, Newton-of-Wemyss.
So 20s when he died.
Look at his pre-cons.
Mint: Assault, possession.
Gang affiliations. Lennox crime family.
Uh, drug traffickers,
Glasgow-based, right?
Mm-hmm.
So the kidnap was organised
crime, a cash grab.
Seems simple enough.
But that death is an execution.
- Something went wrong.
- Karen: Mm-hmm.
- And he was punished for it.
- [ Gunshot ]
I don't want any complaints.
This is basically the penthouse suite.
This is for us? All of it?
That is the tone, Pirie
awe and gratitude.
Wow. There's a coffee machine.
Yes. Get your own bloody pods.
We're not running a charity.
And, Pirie, um, I've got
someone else for your team.
Oh, I'm happy with my choices, sir.
Mm-hmm. Murray's had a word.
He wants to step up.
Murray wants to work for MI6,
but they won't have him.
Correct, but you could give him
some more complex stuff, couldn't you?
Less of the grunt work.
The grunt work is the work, sir.
You know that.
She'll be a good addition, I think.
Oh, I see.
- She's a she.
- Don't start again
Someone to do the paperwork
so Mr. Muscle can get some action.
[ Chuckles ] That's funny.
She's diligent. She's efficient.
She idolises you.
Thought that might be good
for you lot now,
sending the ladder back down
and all that.
She idolises me?
Don't let it go to your head.

Kevin Bryce Campbell.
He had the key to Cat's
burned-out car in his pocket
when he was killed.
He was a gang member and a drug dealer.
It's our theory that he was the man
that took Cat and Adam that night.
Any previous connection to the victim?
Kevin was dealing heroin in Edinburgh.
Cat was an art student there.
They could have crossed paths,
but she wasn't a known drug-taker.
Witness at the scene said he was
alone when he took them.
But the torching of the car,
the delivery of the letters.
I mean, there's no way he
could have done it by himself.
The likelihood is,
he was working for
the Lennox crime family.
The ransom notes
they were signed by
What were they? Communists?
Anarchists.
Could he have been connected with them?
We'll look into Kevin's past,
known associates, friends, family.
Phil, you're on that.
The body's location's a new lead.
The police in '84 never identified
where Cat and Adam were held.
We need to scout the area,
see who was around in 1984,
hunt down possible witnesses.
It's a long time ago, so it
could take some looking.
Right. That's gonna fall to
Mint, you're always good on a long shot.
And the family.
Have you been in contact with them?
Sir Broderick Grant has requested
that I personally pay him a visit today
in his castle.
I know it doesn't come naturally, Pirie,
but make sure you bend the knee.
Goes without saying,
he is a formidable man.
I will bow deeply, sir.

♪
DI Pirie? Welcome to Rotheswell.
Thank you.
Let me take you through to the new wing.
This part's totally off-grid,
self-sufficient.
There are hydro-electric turbines
in the river next to the house.
So the recent bad weather was
actually brilliant for power.
That's handy.
I know what you're thinking.
Oil companies, climate change.
But Grant Operations was one
of the first companies
to pivot to renewables,
right back in the '90s.
How long have you worked for
Sir Broderick?
42 years.
So you were here when it happened.
Yes, I was.
Brodie, may I introduce DI Karen Pirie.
Pleasure to meet you, sir.
Inspector. Please, uh, sit down.
They look good, but I don't
think they're very comfortable.
Oh, I'm sure they'll be fine.
Oh, no. They are not comfortable.
- [ Clicks tongue ]
- Yes, that was my first test.
If you said they were, I would
know you for a lying sycophant.
No, not a lying sycophant.
I can tell.
Forthright and unequivocal.
Yeah. Blunt to a fault.
That's what the report said.
The report?
Mm-hmm. I had someone look into you.
- Like an investigator?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm, uh, old, Karen.
So I need a little reminder
of who everyone is,
what everyone wants, why.
Right.
Well, I don't want to prove
your PI wrong. I'll be direct.
We've found a body.
A drug dealer named Kevin Campbell.
We believe he was involved in
the kidnap of Catriona and Adam.
A drug dealer?
He's associated
with the Lennox crime family.
[Distorted, echoing]
Could be a gun for hire.
We're looking into all possibilities.
[ Birds chirping, baby laughs ]
Forgive me, erm
I'm just trying to process this.
No, of course.
I-I've thought for so long
that we would never find out
what happened to 'em, but
And now this.
[ Sighs ]
It's overwhelming.
To think we might find answers?
I'm not quite sure how to put this, Sir.
Erm
do you think
that they're still out there?
Mary does.
That's Cat's mother, my ex-wife.
I think she's still waiting
for them to come home.
I have become a bit more realistic.
Um, it's probably the best chance
we've ever had at solving this.
Karen, don't take this personally
but I don't trust you.
You may be a bright, young thing,
a brilliant detective, with a
a new hunger for all this.
But I've been burned.
Beyond recognition.
How do you mean, Sir?
Man: Broderick Grant,
you thought you were untouchable.
You thought your actions had
no consequences.
Both: Tomorrow, you will receive
a list of demands.
If you do not comply,
you will never see your daughter
or your grandson again.
"No one will.
The Anarchist Covenant of Scotland."
Thank you, Mr Grant.
Look, I want to assure you
that we will do everything in our power
to bring your family home
as soon as we can.
I want 24-hour
surveillance around the castle
so we have eyes on them the next
time a delivery is made.
And we will be launching
a nation-wide search
for this anarchist group.
[ Whispers indistinctly ]
We'd like to talk to the child's father.
Fergus.
I'll answer any questions that you have,
but I haven't spoken with Cat
for a long time.
I don't know anything.
Broderick: And I don't want any
time wasted.
This is the priority, finding them.
We'll pay anything they ask.
Anything. No number is too high.
Uh, no. Broderick: No?
- UK hostage-negotiation policy.
- Excuse me?
I'm sorry, but we do
not comply with demands.
I don't care what your policy is.
Someone has a gun
to our daughter's head,
and our baby grandson is in danger.
You do not get to tell us what
we will or won't do.
We'll give them whatever they ask for,
whenever they ask for it.
With all due respect, sir,
no, we won't.
I-I have all the money in the world.
40 years ago, I lost
everything with any meaning.
And the police
they made promises.
Promises I should never have believed.

What? And the people aren't?
Okay, I'll lead this.

Mary: Come in.
So, you bought the property
near the quarry in '86?
Can you remember who
you bought the house from?
Someone called Barbara?
No, no. No, that's that's
very helpful, thank you.
Thanks very much. Alright, bye-bye. Bye.
Mary: Brodie has given me the news.
- He has?
- Yes.
We still speak every night.
He usually falls asleep on the phone.
- Right.
- We couldn't stay married,
but we can't stay away
from each other, either.
It's pretty tragic, really.
Karen: Or romantic.
Well, we're bonded by trauma, mostly.
Do you have a photograph?
- Of the man who took them.
- Mm-hmm.
Strange seeing him
after all of these years.
Sir Broderick says
that you always believed
that they might still be out there,
that you've never stopped hoping.
Come with me.

We sold her cottage, eventually,

- Sightings.
I asked the, err,
police to keep me informed
of each one that came in.
And I cut some from newspapers.
Have any of them stood out to you?
Yes. Some.

Yeah, we were supposed
to be going to the pub,

Her mum couldn't babysit anymore.
Right. Did anyone else
know you'd be there?
I don't think I told anyone.
But Cat might've.
She made a phone call.
- To who?
- Um, I don't know.
She used the phone in the chippy.
I-I didn't hear any of it,
'cause I stayed with Adam.
But it only took a minute.
Who do you think she was calling?
I don't know.
Erm, her mum was out.
Wouldn't have been her dad.
- Fergus, perhaps?
- No.
No. Definitely not.
Go on.
I would've known if she'd spoken to him.
She would've been in a foul mood.
She wasn't.
She was happy.

Was there anyone else who she

someone who might have known
where you were?

There was that call she made,
from the chip shop.
Who was it to?
They traced the phone records.
She called a phone box in Buckhaven.
- She knew the number?
- Seems so.

I remember my dad knew the
number for a local phone box.
By the bus stop where
he used to meet his friends.
If one of 'em was running
late, erm, they'd call it.

Ryan Campbell.
Also in with the Lennox family.
In and out of prison. Firearm offences.

Maybe back in prison? Or dead.
No, neither.

On the run, maybe.

What you talking about, Andy?

Poured some of that straight
