threatened, he'll take me off the case.
We can argue the point

Someone'll see us.
On CCTV.

Ah.
That's what it is.
If he knows that I put you on the case
without reporting the relationship,
he'll say it's unethical.
It's serious.
We could both lose our jobs.

someone has got to
find out what happened.

Team briefing! Please! Thank you!
[ Chatter ]
These are our three suspects.
As far as we can tell, Mick Prentice
worked at the Lady Charlotte pit
with Andy Kerr.
So two miners and a small-time criminal.
One was murdered.
One allegedly killed himself,
but his body was never found.
He could still be alive.
And this one was the honey-trapper.
This was the one
that initiated a relationship
with Catriona Grant before
holding her and her son hostage.
This is who we need to find.
Is there any place we can start?
I've been searching the records.
No properties registered
to that name currently.
It's kind of weird, actually. There's
barely anything on the record.
I thought he might be dead, but
there's no death certificate.
There's a marriage certificate from '81.
His wife lives up in Newton-of-Wemyss.
- Karen: Hm? Still married?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it looks like it.
Phil, err, can you do a deeper
dive into Mick Prentice?
And, Isla, can you start
combing through the sightings,
seeing if there's anything
that might match the description
of these three men?
I was just hoping actually if
I could shadow you, you know?
Right. Err, I think
this one's Murray's, if you don't mind.
- He found Mick Prentice's wife.
- Come on.
Now, let's see if we can find him.
♪
He is gonna lead us right to her.
♪
Alright. Alright. Have you seen Andy?
Not yet.
Wasn't here yesterday either.
[ Chatter ]
I'll be back.
♪
I can't do it anymore, Mick.
I just can't.
Got no money to pay them back.
They're gonna hurt me.
Gonna come and beat the life out of me.
- We'll go to the police.
- Not going to the police.
Well, come and stay at mine then
'til we can figure it out.
I can't, Mick.
I'm not in control of myself.
♪
I don't think I wanna be here anymore.
♪
I'm gonna write a letter
and leave everything to Angie.
No.
I've thought about
the overpass at Kinglassie
or the cliffs at Rotheswell.
No. Just stop and listen to me.
I can't, Mick.
There's no way out for me.
There is a way out. There is.
I've got one.
For the both of us.

What are you talking about?

Karen: Every family in this town
would have had a man
that worked up at the pit.
In '84, they were on strike,
so this place was struggling.
They had soup kitchens,
where they'd boil up scraps
to feed the community.
Sometimes they'd go out and dig coal
out on the hillside
which was dangerous
and sometimes deadly
just to sell or to heat their own homes.
Yeah, you don't need to tell me
what the miners' strike was like.
I've seen "Billy Elliot."

This is D.S. Murray.
Are you Jenny Prentice?

- Is your husband home?
Tom? No. He's out. Why? What's happened?
No. Not Tom. No. Mick Prentice.
Oh. No. You're at the wrong place.
You'll have to look elsewhere.
You are married to him,
though, aren't you?
I don't know anything about him

Five of them went down.
Last night.
They've gone to Nottingham.
No. No. They can't have.
He told Derek he was going yesterday.
They'd been planning it.
- What, and everyone knows?
- Nothing about us.
Just that they've crossed
the picket down there.

Karen: Nottingham?
You're too young to understand.
He was a scab.
- Sorry? Scab?
- He broke the strike.
Went to work at Ollerton Colliery.
And Tom. You and he?
The marriage had been over for a while.
We were so young.
I didn't realise that Mick knew.
[ Door opens ]
We were just talking about you.
D.I. Karen Pirie.
D.C. Jason Murray.
- What's going on?
- They're looking for Mick.
Did he contact you at all
once he got there?
No. Never.
And you never tried to find him?
I was so angry. And so ashamed.
It was "good riddance" from our side.
Jenny: Later I did want to divorce him,
but I'd have to prove to the
court that I'd looked for him.
But if he didn't have
the decency to check in,
why should I go hunting him down?
Did you know Andy Kerr?
He was Mick's best friend.
And what about Kevin Campbell?
No. Mick didn't like Kevin at all.
That's the fella that's in the news now?
We have reason to believe
that Kevin, Andy, and Mick
were all involved
in the abduction
of Catriona Grant and her son.
No. No. I
Where is he now? Mick?
Well, that's what
we're trying to find out.

Woman: Doors closing. Lift going up.
River: Have you started
looking into the break-in?
I have ordered security cameras,
and I've requested CCTV.
Also, I.T. have remotely
wiped the laptop for me.
Alright. Cool.
Because you know
we're both kind of at risk.
I know. I get it. I'm just busy.
I feel like my jacket is stuck in
the door of a high-speed train,
and I'm running along
the side of the track,
and if I don't, I'll just fall and die.
Okay. We're in that place.
They have finished the report
on Kevin's body.
Various wounds suggest
quite a serious altercation.
A break to the knuckle.
A cheekbone fracture.
Skin and blood under his fingernails.
Did you get a DNA match on that?
River: Didn't fit with anything
known to the system.
We also examined his clothing.
And this might be nothing,
but it's worth bearing in mind.
There was clay found
in the grooves of his boots.
It's specific. They can trace it
to the East Coast beaches,
where the sand has washed away.
It didn't match the soil that
he was found in, which is peaty.
Then there's this.
There was some material found
in Kevin's pockets.
We weren't sure exactly what it was
because it's partially decomposed.
We thought it might be some documents,
so we sent it to a specialist
in this kind of thing,
and, err it looks like
- A passport?
- River: Mm-hmm.
But the name inside,
it's not Kevin Campbell.
Yeah, but the picture.
- I mean, that's him.
- River: Mm-hmm.
So it's a counterfeit?
He was going to start a new
life, under a different name.
But he was killed before he could.
Maybe the others are doing the same.
Mick and Andy could be going
under new identities now.
So that means they could be anyone.
They could be anywhere.

Hello.
Hi.
You called me, Phil. Speak.
Sorry. Yeah. Erm
Uh, look, I followed up
the miners' names
that you got from Jenny Prentice.
Logan Laidlaw and Fred McDonagh.
The other two are dead.
They said that Mick
had been a part of the plan
to go to Nottingham right from the off.
They all thought he was going with them,
but the night they left,
he never showed up.
Did they speak to him?
No.
They all assumed
that he'd changed his mind.
Mick was known
to be a union man, so the fact
that he'd wanted to go
originally, it surprised them.
Did you check up on their stories?
Aye. Looked up employment
records from the mine.
Get this. Mick never put in a shift.
But they all showed up day after day,
right through the timeline
of the kidnap.
It all lines up.
So it was Mick's cover story.
He knew if he betrayed Jenny like that
she'd never go looking for him.
Look, Karen. No one's around.
Erm, could we find
a moment to talk or?
Thanks for calling.

It's quite beautiful out here.
People think they're an eyesore,

You're not here for the view, though.
No. I'm not.
We've been in touch with
the other strike-breakers
Logan Laidlaw and Fred McDonagh.
They said that Mick didn't
go to Nottingham with them.
He was supposed to, but he never showed.
Did you know that?
No.
Well, not initially.
Well, go on.
A few months after he left,
he sent Jenny money.
- Money?
- Yeah.
Well, he sent it to me, actually.
Big envelope full of cash.
And there was a note.
Said he knew if he sent it
to her she'd never accept it
but that he wanted someone
to take care of her
and that he's sorry.
How much was it?
Five thousand.
Wow. That'd be, what, how much now?
Don't know.
10, 15 grand or something now.
I'm not proud of it, taking it.
I mean, you couldn't
exactly send it back.
She never knew. She'd have hated it.
You thought it was money earned
from the Nottingham pit.
It was generous.
Made me think better of him in a way.
There was something else about it.
I ignored it because
what would I have done?
I couldn't talk to Jenny about it.
Well, what was it?
The postmark.
He'd sent the money from abroad.
Where?
France.
France?
Hang on. Just rewind.
Mick sent an envelope of cash
with the equivalent of 15 grand in it
to his ex-wife via Tom Robertson.
- Fifteen?
- And get this.
There was a foreign postmark
on the envelope.
He sent the money from France
couple of months after he left.
France?
So they're definitely not
in Hartlepool or Hull.
There's that boulder rolling down again.
Okay. I want you to refocus.
Look at the French sightings.
There'll be less of them,
which is a blessing.
Murray, I want you
to contact a forensic artist.
They can put together a composite sketch
using age progression so that we've got
new, older images of both Mick and Andy
that we can then circulate.
And, Phil, I think you need to
talk to Kevin's brother again,
find out where he got that passport.
Can try and check some of
the other cases from the time
counterfeiting, identity theft,
forger associates.
Big question is
where did they get that much money from?
Well, Mick was sleeping with Cat, right?
He was the honey-trap.
So could he have stolen it from her?
Do we have her financial records?
Isla: Think there are
some bank statements
and receipts amongst the files.
Pull them if you can.
Maybe we should go back to the idea
that they were paid to do the kidnap.
What if they were already funded?
By someone who wants to punish Brodie.
Or Cat.
Someone who wanted Cat and Adam
out of the picture.
Someone with motive
and the money to do it.

what do you think happened
to Cat and Adam?
Well, you, err you probably saw
the protestors outside.
I mean, Brodie and the company
have always had conflicts
with, err, activists,
with competitors.
So I believe it was someone like that,
someone trying to hurt

Right. Well, she didn't

[ Chuckles ] We wasted time.
Anarchists and old threats.
I should have followed my instincts.
No, your instincts.
You asked on that first day
about the child's father.
You're right. Mr. Grant.
He's protecting that boy.
Fergus Sinclair.
And I have no idea why.

Yeah? That's great.
Err, do you have a photograph?
Okay. Thank you.
And thanks for speaking English.
You don't wanna hear my French.
[ Chuckles ]
No, I said, "You don't wanna hear my"
Do you know what? Don't worry
about it. Thank you very much.
Alright. Merci. Bye-bye. Bye.
So, Casino La Belle Vue.
Nothing from '84 or '85,
but they had a look at
the progression photos,
and they think that one
of them is known to them
only not from the '80s,
from more recently.
- More recently?
- They've sent it over.
Matthias Johnson?
Jason: They say that he had
a fight with a croupier
after a big loss last year.
Isla: So you're thinking
Matthias Johnson
could be
Andy Kerr.
He does look like him, doesn't he?
♪
Yep, that's it. Matthias Johnson.
Born 1956.
Right. When was that?
1985. What was it for?
Was he charged?
Could you look at his record
for me, Daniel's?
No address for Matthias Johnson,
but he was arrested for fighting
and public inebriation in Nice in '85.
Someone called Daniel Porteous
paid his bail.
- Daniel Porteous? Sounds British.
- It does.
But the address
he gave the police was in Italy.
Nothing else
in the French records for him.
You think we should expand the search,
share the images
with the Italian police?
I'll get on to casinos.
San Remo, I think, is renowned for them.

[ Phone buzzing ]
River.
What is it? What have you found?
The Italians don't have
a current address
for Daniel Porteous.
Any pictures?
No. But
What?
What is it?
He had a son.
Gabriel. Born in '82.
Would make him 42 now.
There's a warrant out for his arrest.
Been apprehended several times
for assisting migrants
in small boats off the coast of Sicily.
So he's an activist?
- Acquitted last time.
- But he's wanted again.
So, what, they can't find him?

I'm gonna put a call in
