Karen Pirie (2022) s02e03 Episode Script
A Darker Domain Part 3
1
Karen: Catriona and Adam Grant,
abducted at gun point in 1984.
Kevin Campbell, Andy Kerr,
Mick Prentice are our three suspects.
This is who we need to find.
We've found a body. It's Kevin Campbell.
There was some material
found in Kevin's pockets.
- A passport?
- River: The name inside
it's not Kevin Campbell.
- So it's a counterfeit.
- Mick and Andy
could be going under new identities now.
- And the kidnapping.
- With Adam in the car?
- That wasn't part of the plan.
- I didn't know
- he was gonna bring it.
- She was in on it.
Cat shot Kevin.
What do you think happened
to Cat and Adam?
Oh, they're dead.
Cavalaire-sur-la-Mer,
South of France, November '84.
That could be Mick Prentice, right?
Catriona Grant collaborated
with her kidnappers.
To punish her family.
What are they doing?!
I think they were moving east,
towards Italy.
This place is significant.
Something happened here.
It's Cat's body. Catriona's dead.
Murray: Daniel Porteus
he had a son, Gabriel.
Born in '82. Would make him 42 now.
Renata: Gabriel!
- Christ!
- Cameron: He wanted your phone,
- laptop, hard drive.
- Who did he work for?
Mr. Sinclair.
- Karen: Fergus.
- Mr. Grant
he's protecting that boy.
And I have no idea why.

[ Both breathing heavily ]

- Where's the gun, Mick?
- It's gone. I got rid of it.
What?! What if they find it?
What if they find her?
- Mick: Drive.
- Andy: What are we gonna do?
Just stop talking and drive!

Ahh!

Phil: It must have been hard,
telling them.
Karen: Yeah. They're heartbroken.
Has Sir Broderick changed his
mind about the investigation?
No. He's too proud for that.
He does have questions, though.
Questions that I can't answer yet.
About how she died.
Yeah, one thing I do know
is that Adam wasn't with her in there.
So he could still be alive.
And Murray's match for him
could be right.
He could be out there somewhere
You look like you haven't slept.
Yeah, phones have been ringing.
Casinos in the north of Italy.
Turns out Matthias Johnson
- That's Andy Kerr's new ID?
- Murray: Yeah.
He's been barred
from at least five in Genoa.
You think that's where he lives?
And we might have an address,
but there's no answer when we call.
Right.
You get on a plane to Italy, then.
Today. You can nap on the flight.
Can I take Isla?
No, not like that.
Just, y'know, she's been
working really hard, so I think
- she deserves a bit of
- It's not a holiday, Jason.
I need you to catch a criminal!
Okay.
- But can I?
- Yes, take Isla.
Okay. I'm going. I'm going.
[ Police radio chatter ]
There was damage to her ribs here,
lead pellets, used cartridges,
and gunpowder residue
all found amongst the stone.
- So she was shot.
- She didn't die in the rockfall?
No.
I think bad weather
must have destabilised the cave,
and if it was already fragile,
then a couple of rounds
from a powerful weapon
might have helped it along.
So that's definitive then.
Cat was murdered.
How can that be if she was in on it?
Do you think we were wrong?
Maybe Mick and Andy turned on her.
River: Ah.
There were bullet fragments
found at the scene
that match gun 49, Kevin's weapon.
But the fatal wound indicates a shotgun.
So there were two guns, at the scene?
Or either they had another
weapon we didn't know about.
Someone else was involved.
Well, this type's
usually used for hunting.
- Clay pigeons, all that.
- So, someone moneyed,
maybe with a gun licence,
does it for sport.
Is there anyone who matches that brief?
Karen: Yeah.
There is.

Phil: Mr. Sinclair, why did you
pay Cameron Murdoch
to break into DI Pirie's apartment?
As you know, we did a search of
your property and your office.
We managed to recover the stolen laptop.
What were you hoping to achieve?
♪
I assume you're not gonna
answer any of our questions.
Fergus: Where was she?
Catriona.
Where did you find her?
I don't need to tell you that
because you already know.
I don't. I really don't.
Look, we know you're hiding something.
What could you possibly want
with my laptop,
if it wasn't to find out what I know?
Only a guilty man would take
that risk to protect himself.
What happened, Fergus?
All those years ago?
♪
The forensic report
came back on her body.
Lead pellets and gunpowder residue
were found in her remains.
We think she was killed with a shotgun.
Your family have a hunting lodge
up in the highlands, don't they?
So you know how to handle
a gun like that, don't you?
Don't you?
Was it always part of the plan, Fergus,
to kill Catriona?
No.
There was no plan.
Nothing that I knew about.
Was it an accident then?
No. I mean, how would I know.
You know
there's this theory
that I've been working with
that Catriona was in on her own kidnap.
It's a good theory.
Certainly chimed with Sir Broderick.
But it has its problems.
Because the kidnappers they
left the country with money.
A lot of money.
Who paid them?
Catriona died, and they were rewarded.
But who could have benefitted
from that except you?
Who could have afforded that except you?
And now you've proved yourself
to be involved
by meddling in the case.

Was Adam with her when she was found?
♪
No.
No remains?
No.
So where does he fit in
to this supposed plan of mine?
Where is he?
Well, we were hoping
you could tell us that.
[ Scoffs ] You think I killed him, too?
I have nothing to do with this.
Look, Mr. Sinclair,
I've got enough to charge you.
We can see how this plays out in court.
You know, a jury,
they know it's usually
the boyfriend or the ex.
Maybe this time it was both.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Shite.
- Shite.
- Phil: Hey.
Shite. Shite, shite, shite.
It's okay. It's okay.
We arrested him too early.
- We haven't got enough.
- He stole evidence.
- That's enough.
- None of it makes sense.
Was I wrong about Cat being in on it?
It's our first interview.
We can go back in there.
With what?
We need to apply pressure.
We need to catch him out.
You were watching him in there.
What made him flinch?
What made him react?
Adam.
Right.
Yeah, but he always brushes it
off, says he doesn't care.
No. No. No. He cares.
He brought him up.
Okay.
Well, then we need to try
something else.
What were you thinking?
It's risky.
Wouldn't expect anything else.
Taylor: If you don't want
to say anything, don't.
They can't hold you
longer than 24 hours.
- Fergus: Okay.
- Just sit it out.
And this is?
Gabriel Porteous.
Born 1982. He'll be 42 now.
And you think
Karen: We have reason to believe
that Gabriel
is Adam Grant.
♪
So
this is him?
We're pretty sure.
[ Exhales sharply ]
Where is he now?
Does he know about his mother?
He's currently wanted by the police.
- For what?
- Phil: He rescues people
from drowning in the Mediterranean.
- What do you mean?
- Karen: Migrants. Refugees.
- So he's wanted for
- Assisting criminal activity.
Karen: A lot of the migrants
are brought over
with human trafficking groups.
By helping them, he's implicated.
But he says he's an activist
saving innocent lives.
I know you compartmentalise.
You put it away somewhere
in your mind, don't you?
He grew up without knowing his parents,
his grandparents.
Without knowing who he really is.
Fergus, if you go down
for Catriona's murder,
he will never know you.
And you will never get to fix
your mistakes from the past,
just like you said you wanted to.
I didn't kill her.
And I don't know who did.
But you're hiding something,
something that could help us.

Come on, come on, come on.
You tryna channel her?
You need me to get a medium?
We're missing something.
Right at the heart of all this.
Okay, what did she want?
She hated Fergus.
Her dad chose him over her,
kept him on at the company,
even after he broke her heart.
Fergus didn't care about her, either.
He cared about himself.
He cared about his wife, his job.
And Brodie.

Thank you.

You have something you'd like to share?
I need you to know that I had
no part in Catriona's death.
October the 12th, 1984.
I believe that's when
it must have happened.
I was in hospital with my wife.
She was pregnant.
Something showed up on one of the scans.
They had to do some tests.
The way that night ended was awful.
We lost our baby.
So there'll be records.
There'll be people you can talk to.
Queen Margaret's, Dunfermline.
That's where I was.
I'm sorry.
It was a long time ago.
And you think Cat died that same night?
At dawn, the next morning.
How do you know that?
Because the third letter was sent to me.
♪
[ Birds chirping ]
♪
That's when I started to wonder
whether Catriona was involved
in all of this.
Mick: You will bring the two
holdalls to East Rotheswell head
at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.
You will not bring police.
If you notify the police
about this letter,
you will never see your daughter
or your grandson again.
Why would they send it to me?
Nobody knows who I am to her.
Or Adam.
Unless she's told them.
[ Sighs ]
♪
Did you sort the cash?
Yes, sir.
It's down as a few different
charity donations.
Nobody even batted an eye at the bank.
Brodie: And not a word of this
to anyone, okay?
No one at work, not your wife, not Mary.
Are you gonna do it?
You're going to meet with them?
- Have you told the police?
- Brodie: No.
- You've seen the letter.
- Y-You have to.
- Brodie: I can't.
- It's not safe.
It's Catriona, Fergus.
She's behind it.
I don't understand.
She's punishing us.
That's why the letter came to you.
She's done this?
- To herself?
- I'll only know for sure
when I get down there.
And you're gonna hand over the money?
I don't care about the money.
She can have the money.
I just want Adam home.
And what about Cat?
I don't think I know who she is anymore.
Did Brodie tell you
what happened at the handover?
He told me that he tried
to reason with her,
but that she wouldn't listen.
That she just took the money and ran.
What about Adam?
He wasn't there. She didn't bring him.
So, all of these years,
you've thought that Cat and Adam
were out there somewhere.
I thought that Adam had his mother.
I thought Cat had money and a new life.
I didn't think
That she was dead.
What do you think happened?
You'll have to ask Brodie that question.
Why are you only telling us
this now, for the first time,
after all these years?
Because I am not going down
for something that I did not do.
And because my son

both confirmed his alibi.
If the murder happened
when he said it did,
he wasn't involved.
Why did he order the break-in, then?
He said Sir Broderick asked
him to find out what we knew
by any means necessary.
What's Brodie afraid of?
Fergus said the third letter existed.
There was a handover
on the 12 of October, '84.
Ah, right.
And that's when he thinks
Catriona was murdered.

our killer is one of four men.

Brodie's Head of Security.
He passed away years ago.
And
Sir Broderick himself.
Interesting.
You think he could have shot
his own daughter?
We have to consider
all possibilities, sir.
Agreed, but this case
needs to be iron-clad
if we're even gonna think about
approaching him.
I know, sir.
You know, he's been
in contact with the ACC as well,
demanding the information
we have about Adam.
Are you gonna give it to him?
Don't be ridiculous, Pirie.
We're gonna solve this
on our terms, not his.
Especially if he's
a potential suspect, no.
So tell Murray this is his moment.
He wanted more responsibility.
So I've given it to him.
And he'd better not throw it away, then.

more fun than this.

had been moved to a private hospital.
Really? Today?

- Surely, he doesn't have

Otherwise, he would, have been
there from the beginning.

you are on the right track.

So, we think Murray's e-mails
could have been hacked.
What? Really?
I got a bunch of weird messages

Either way, someone
got to Andy Kerr before us

The car reg that we took down
was from a rental.
We contacted the hire company
and we got a name.
Jonas Weber.
Ex-Federal Police from Berlin.
He was removed from the force
for allegedly killing another officer.
- What?
- Never convicted,
but he's been a private
investigator ever since

He seems expensive.
- Sir Broderick.
- Has to be.
So Brodie hired him to find Andy
and paid him not to talk to us.
Why?
Or maybe he's paid him
for information
Mick Prentice's location.
Right. Cop-killer, armed,
threatened both of you.
My guess is Brodie
didn't hire him to pay Mick off.

their fallout about Fergus

It's a letter from Catriona
to a journalist.
Phil: She asked for a meeting.
In February '84.
Shortly after, Sir Broderick
contacted the paper
and forbade them
to write about the meeting.
He had the journalist sign an an NDA.
- Phil: Paid them off.
- Bel: Mm.
What would she want to go
to the press about?
Well, I looked into the writer,
Agnes Selkirk,
and she covered business stories
for the Times.
So it wasn't personal.
It's got to be Grant Operations.
Catriona worked for them

Cat didnee want to be a Grant anymore.
She didnee want you to be one, either.

I have the same question, Mr. Prentice.
Cat, she she wanted
to start a new life.
And she wanted money
to be able to provide for you.
And she wanted to punish her father
for everything he'd done.
So you So you staged a kidnap.

She had to convince me, but like I said,
I would have done anything.
I don't understand.
If she was behind it, what went wrong?
Ah, it all fell apart when Kevin

to pull it all down,
