Shetland (2012) s10e02 Episode Script

- How long has she been out here?
- A couple of days at least.
But why would you bring her out here?
Who did this to her?
Did either of you speak to
the woman who lived there?
- We haven't spoken to anyone.
- I did see someone there.
Where's Eadie? I need to see Eadie.
- Lana Come on
- I just
Sorry about Mum.
Dementia.
I don't understand. What do
you mean, you found her body?
We think someone killed your mum.
Who?
She kept talking about
settling her affairs.
What do you think she meant by that?
That she knew something was coming?
Eadie Tulloch's bank just sent
through her account information.
Where the hell did she get
four hundred grand from?!
God knows, but that is the kind
of money someone would kill for.
- [EXPLOSION]
- Oh!
Lana?
- This way, come on. Come on.
- No!
It's OK, it's OK! Please.
Lana? My God!
Love, just stay there, OK?
It'll be OK.
- Look
- Just give me a minute.
I'm her husband.
Lass, it's OK.
Come on.
Come on.
[SHE SOBS]
Thank you.
Lana Mair?
I didn't see her.
I only knew something was wrong
when I heard the window. Sorry.
- And then you found her outside?
- Yeah.
- What did she say?
- Nothing coherent.
- OK, well, where is she now?
- Back home.
Right.
[RUTH SIGHS]
Hi.
Er
Where is Mrs Mair?
She needed to sleep.
And no-one saw her go out
or heard her say anything?
We'd have stopped her.
Mr Jameson?
I want to know what's going on
as much as you.
I mean, if she's setting fire
to things now
What?
- We live here, too, Arthur.
- In my house.
Look, has Lana ever done anything
like this before?
No!
- Mum. Sorry, sorry.
- Oh!
We'll have to bring her in,
ask her a few questions.
Please. She won't have known
what she was doing.
Arthur?
It's all right, lass.
Nothing to worry about.
She's going nowhere without me.
Hi, Mrs Mair.
I'm a police detective.
DI McIntosh.
We need to talk to you
about Eadie Tulloch's house.
Eadie?
Is something wrong with her?
Oh, Mum
We'll explain everything,
but, right now,
it would be really helpful
if you could come with us.
This is ridiculous.
They're just coming.
[VIDEO GAME BEEPS]
Hayley?
They've just arrested someone
from the house across the way.
Saw the cops bring two old folks out.
- And?
- This is insane.
What if the police want to
speak to us again?
I don't know if you've noticed, Chris,
but you're not the centre
of a true crime podcast.
[HE CHUCKLES]
Oh!
- Billy.
- Sorry.
- Couldn't sleep?
- Mm-mm.
I tried not to wake you.
Ach, I had a bad night myself.
Coffee?
Please.
Eadie going round your head?
Aye.
Don't worry.
Just a swab inside your mouth. It's OK.
Thank you.
Mrs Mair
do you know why you're here?
What it is we want to talk to you about.
Eadie Tulloch.
Did something happen to her?
Yeah, that's right. It did.
It's the gala I'd worry about.
She was a force of nature.
Eadie, you mean?
I used to help. I mean, I'd
I'd cook the tea for the lads and that.
Lana
you know Eadie died?
Mm. Well
you reap what you sow.
What do you mean by that, Lana?
Well, she was always nosying into
other people's business, you know.
I mean, it was probably her job, but
Are you saying that Eadie did something
to someone else or to you?
- No.
- [SHE CHUCKLES]
We were friends.
Lana, her house was set on fire.
Mm.
Do you remember that?
- I want to see Arthur.
- Yeah, well, Arthur will be here soon.
Kirsty's here to look after you.
You're safe, Lana.
Where are my clothes?!
Lana, you said that Eadie did something.
Did Eadie hurt someone?
No, that's all behind us now.
Aye, it is, but we still need to know.
No, some thing's are best
just left to lie.
Was it connected to the fire?
Lana, can you help us?
Tell us what happened?
Lana, you're doing really well.
We just need to chat about the fire
- and then you can go.
- I don't know
Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!
- I don't want
- Lana. Mrs Mair.
Arthur!
- Arthur! Arthur!
- Lana?
- Arthur!
- Lana. Mrs Mair
You need to calm down.
No! No!
- I think we need to stop this, Ruth.
- I know, I know.
No!
Christ! Get Arthur in here!
Open the door!
- Let me in!
- I'm so sorry.
Just go, go! Go!
Are you OK? I don't know what happened.
- Hey, lass
- I'm so sorry.
- Up you come, up you come.
- Up you get.
- It's OK.
- Well done.
It's all right.
[LANA SOBS]
Hey, now, what's been going on here?
First a fire at a murder site,
then an interview with a vulnerable
adult descends into bedlam.
Matt, we had an appropriate adult.
We were gentle, we were respectful.
So gentle she's being seen by a doctor?
Matt, no-one in her family could
explain why she started that fire.
We had to at least try and talk to her.
Well, then, you've got a problem,
because now you can't talk to her.
I know. Not until she's been checked
over, obviously, and she's calm.
Absolutely not. Not if she's going
to get distressed like that again.
And let's brace ourselves
for a formal complaint.
[TOSH SIGHS]
Maybe we did push her too hard.
Well, I don't know about that.
You reap what you sow?
But we don't know what it means.
Well, maybe she meant Eadie
had it coming to her
or that she had something coming.
Or maybe she was just babbling.
Well, either way, I think we need
to consider the possibility
that maybe Eadie had some enemies,
including Lana.
Yeah.
Yeah, OK, maybe you're right.
Well, I'll have a word
with David Powell,
see if Eadie mentioned having
any issues with anyone.
Ruth.
Ed Tulloch's out front.
Oh, OK. Thanks.
Hey.
I can talk to him as well.
- Were you expecting him?
- Yeah.
He Well, he wanted someone
to go with him to ID the body.
You know, a bit of moral support.
And he he asked you?
Uh-huh.
Oh, and Billy rang, too.
Asked if you could go and see him
at their house this afternoon.
- Morag has some information.
- Oh, sure.
Oh, hey, did you get anywhere
with the money in Eadie's account?
- Talking to the bank today.
- Yeah, OK.
So, is that it, then?
You're releasing me, right?
You're still the last person
to see Eadie alive, David,
so you will need to stay on
the Isles, do you understand?
Yeah, OK.
Also, I have a question.
When you chatted with Eadie,
did she ever mention Lana Mair?
Yeah.
Erm, they both used to help
organise the Lunniswick Gala.
Did you get any sense
that they'd fallen out?
That Eadie had done anything
to upset Lana.
No.
Did Eadie talk about
anything that was worrying her?
No.
What about that last time, when she
mentioned settling her affairs?
She was clearing up her tea
when I got there.
She mostly just talked about her son.
She always did.
- Ed?
- No.
The one that died.
Craig.
Never really mentioned Ed.
Yeah, that's her.
I'm sorry it's been so long.
I could do with something
stronger, really.
- Thanks for being in there with me.
- Och, it's fine.
Listen, erm, Mum's house
This fire last night,
what the hell happened?
Ach, I'm sorry about that.
We are still trying to get
to the bottom of it, but
Was it an accident or something?
Erm
Do you know Lana Mair?
You're not saying Lana caused the fire?
Why would she do that?
Mum and Lana were close.
I mean, we all were.
- Kin but not blood, Dad would say.
- What does that look like?
Well, you know, us kids played together.
I mean, their boy Ally
and our Craig were best mates.
Mum and Lana ran the village,
organising stuff.
Dad and Arthur went fishing.
And then my brother died.
Yes, I, erm
..I heard. I'm sorry about that.
It was a long time ago, but that
shared loss tied them even closer.
What do you mean, "shared"?
Well, Ally and Craig,
they were in the storm together.
Wait
Both families lost a son?
Aye.
Yeah. It's what started the rift
between me and Mum, really.
I could never live up to Craig.
[ED SIGHS]
I might head back to the pub and
get something stronger after all.
Were you there last Saturday,
working at the pub?
Erm, Saturday? Yeah, I would have
been there till pretty late. Why?
It was the last time
anyone saw your mum alive.
I just need to know
everyone's movements.
Sure.
So, Billy says you wanted to
talk about Eadie's work?
Aye. It's, erm
It's to do with Amy Shannon.
OK.
Who's Amy Shannon?
An old case of Eadie's.
She recommended that Amy and her sister
be removed from their birth mum.
She's suing Social Services.
Why?
It happens, Tosh.
You know, kids grow up,
they look back,
they want someone to blame.
She's angry.
But the way she's been
pressing her case,
it's been very stressful.
Has she been contacting
you directly, or Eadie?
She turned up at our offices once,
shouting,
accusing us of delaying
the legal process.
- She threatened you?
- Not really. She
She calmed down and she left.
It's just that after Eadie
Not that I think that Amy would
I thought you should know.
Well, yeah.
So Amy's in Shetland?
Aye. She was adopted here.
She's a teacher.
She's got a flat in Lerwick
with a partner and a kid.
- And her sister?
- Stevie.
She ended up on the mainland.
Look, I'm sure Amy's got
nothing to do with this.
It's just Eadie had a long career,
and the kind of work she was doing,
well, it
Made her unpopular?
So, I'll need copies of the letters
Amy Shannon's solicitor sent
- and a look at her case file.
- I'll get Morag to send them over.
Oh, here, there was something
I was going to ask you.
I was talking to Gina Powell last night.
I was pulling her up
for hindering the case
and she said something strange.
She said the last time she helped
us, she nearly lost her family.
"Us" as in the police?
Yeah. I think she meant Shetland police.
You said her husband was arrested.
Ray Powell.
Was there anything unusual
about the case?
Not really.
Robert was the one who charged him.
I didn't have anything to do with it.
But I do know that he confessed.
Hmm.
All right. Well, you take care.
- Yeah.
- OK?
So, erm, what did you make
of yesterday's poetry night?
Well, I can't say I've been to many.
I quite liked your poem though,
about the wind.
Yeah?
It's an old one, from back
when I wrote properly.
I had a collection published years back.
- Won a few awards.
- Oh?
Was it successful?
Well, I've definitely seen it
in the odd charity shop.
[THEY LAUGH]
You, erm, seen James recently?
Erm
No, no. Erm
Well, not since Cal's funeral.
I mean, I've
I've wanted to, but, erm,
I just, you know
I reckon he'd appreciate it.
Yeah.
Sorry, I've got to go.
Sure.
Louden!
Aye, trust you to choose a dead end.
I've been looking for you since
your disappearing act yesterday.
I told you that I could not be there
when you started making arrests.
Except we didn't make any, did we?
- Yeah, I heard about that.
- Oh, aye, you heard, did you?
What, did you hear after,
or did you set us up?
What? No. Why would I set you up?
Oh, I don't know. You tell me.
Look, I thought the stuff
was on that boat, right?
- That's why I've been laying low since.
- Why?
Because if it's not on the boat,
they're going to know
someone talked.
They're going to know about me.
Oh, I think you'll be fine, Will.
You're hardly super grass material,
are you?
So that means they still
need to land the gear, right?
- Yeah, I think so.
- You think so?
Right.
Well, if you hear of anything,
you get in touch.
Anything at all.
- Right?
- Yes.
- Yes?!
- Yes!
Good, you wee shite.
I'll get directions to this beach.
What's this now?
It's not the same house as earlier
but they were there yesterday.
Dropping someone back.
Oh, for God's sake, Chris.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Hey.
- Hey. I'm at the mortuary.
Cora rang. She's got something for us.
OK, great. Well, I'll be
with you as soon as I can.
How's it going?
Well, I had an unexpected interlude
with Will Louden.
- Louden? Where did you find him?
- Just walking along the street.
Says he had no idea that boat was clean.
What are you up to?
I think you might be right about
Eadie having made some enemies.
Who have you got in mind?
Morag gave me a heads up
on an Amy Shannon.
An old social work client.
She has issues with the way
Eadie handled her case.
- Have you spoken to her yet?
- Just about to.
OK. I'll see you here when you're done.
[RINGS DOORBELL]
Hi.
Sorry, are you Amy Shannon?
No, I'm her sister, Stevie.
Who is it?
Can I help?
Is this about our case
against children's services?
Indirectly. It is about Eadie Tulloch.
- Our social worker?
- Yeah.
Look, I've got some difficult news.
She's been found dead.
What?
Erm
yeah, I heard on the radio
there was a body.
That was her?
She was killed?
I'm afraid so.
Your complaint is that she made a
mistake in your care, is that right?
She did.
A few months after we were removed,
our mum died,
and then they
they split us up.
You mean, when you went to the mainland?
Erm, yeah. Disposed of in Aberdeen.
On Eadie Tulloch's say-so.
Stevie's been through four
different foster families.
Two children's homes.
Did you ever talk to Eadie
directly about the case?
No, of course not.
Everything went through the solicitor.
But you did go to
the Social Services offices once?
Once.
But Eadie wasn't there.
She was long retired.
What about you, Stevie?
Had you seen Eadie?
No. No, not since I was a kid.
Sorry, why exactly are you here?
We're just looking into
Eadie's connections
and since your case is a live issue
- You think we might have killed her?
- [CHILD SCREAMS]
- Gently, Aidan.
- Mummy!
Hey, buddy.
Oh, sorry.
Aargh!
- What's going on?
- Nothing.
I think we were
I think we were finished.
OK. Well, look, thanks for your time.
Stay where you can see us, Chloe.
It's rocky down there.
I will, Dad.
It's pretty spectacular.
No?
For God's sake.
What?
You're the one who brought us here,
Hayl!
We dropped everything 'cos you
suddenly needed a break.
And here we are, babe,
on a beach having a break.
Yeah, but you haven't been "here"
since we've arrived.
You keep sneaking off.
Checking your emails, is it?
Do you think the questions
from the staff and the suppliers,
- they just stop coming?
- Yeah, they do, if you don't log on.
I run two restaurants.
It's not like taking
the odd front of house shift.
Then let me help you.
Chris, you are amazing with
customers but you're hardly
What? A top entrepreneur? Girlboss?
Oh, piss off!
I thought things had got
a lot better this year.
You seemed less stressed.
Why Shetland?
Lunniswick?
I mean, it's the end of the world.
I'm sorry, you were the one that
didn't want to leave this morning
cos you were getting off
on some local tragedy.
No?
You keep an eye on Chloe for once.
I'm going for a walk.
I wanted to go to Majorca.
Whisky?!
You could smell it as soon
as I opened the stomach.
And we're not just talking
a wee dram here?
Toxicology will give us an idea
of how much she actually consumed,
but we're talking a skinful.
So, hang on, are you saying
she was actually drunk
at the time she was killed?
More than likely, yes.
That would account for the lack
of self-defence wounds.
She didn't fight back
because she was in no fit state.
Any food?
Intestinal content
suggests ongoing digestion.
But that's from a meal consumed
well before death.
How long before?
Ten to 14 hours, maybe.
So she took to the whisky after?
And then some.
Oh.
So, it turns out our 76-year-old victim
was paralytic at the time of her murder.
Yeah, except I don't remember
there being any booze in the house.
Well, maybe we missed it.
Sandy, can you ask SOCO
to send over the inventory
- from the Tulloch house?
- Sure.
- What are we looking for?
- Specifically, whisky bottles,
but see if you can find
anything else that would indicate
- that Eadie Tulloch was a drinker.
- I'll get on to them.
Yeah, and speak to Colin Waite.
Find out if he ever added
a bottle of Scotch
to one of her food parcels.
Oh, sorry, Sandy, could you also
phone Aberdeen Children's Services.
I need some background
on a Stevie Shannon.
- Got it.
- Thank you.
I thought it was Amy Shannon
you were talking to.
- Who's Stevie Shannon?
- Her sister.
Brought up in Aberdeen,
but it turns out she's staying
with Amy at the moment.
I just kind of got
a weird vibe from her.
Why did Morag put you onto them?
So, Eadie handled their case
and now Amy's suing Social Services.
Any grounds?
I mean,
it seems pretty clear from their file
that they were being neglected.
The mum had a string of boyfriends,
a recurring drug habit.
But they're angry at Eadie's decision.
Angry enough to hurt her?
- Mm.
- Well, it could be a motive,
if they felt that Eadie
had ruined their childhood.
Question is, is there anyone else
out there with a grudge against her?
Did you get anything from Ed Tulloch?
I don't think Ed knew anything about
what was going on with his mum.
He did say that Lana and Eadie
were close though.
So why set fire to her house?
Well, unless Matt lets us
have another crack at her,
we'll never know.
I've had an idea about that.
No! After this morning?
We should've been sent home hours ago.
Mr Mair, what Lana did
was very, very serious.
Why don't you help us to get her home?
You'd need to let Lana
talk on her own terms.
You couldn't speak for her,
but you would help her to feel safe.
Lana
we need to speak to you again
about the fire that you started.
The one at Eadie's house.
We were such good friends.
Yeah, we know that you were close.
That's why we don't understand
last night.
I know what happened.
What do you mean, Lana?
Eadie Tulloch.
You know what happened to Eadie?
It was terrible what he did.
What who did, Lana?
Him.
Arthur.
It's confusing having me here.
We need to stop now.
- Lana, what did Arthur do?
- I said we need to stop!
Are you cross?
Lana.
Lana.
Could you tell us what it was
that Arthur did?
No! Stop!
It's so cruel! So damn cruel!
You've got a temper on you, Arthur Mair!
What was she talking about, Arthur?
I told you, it's nonsense.
She doesn't know what she's saying.
I'm not sure that's entirely true.
We're not answering any more
of your damn questions!
- How are you doing?
- It's like she's got away with it.
Who?
Eadie.
I mean, everything that she did,
and we're the ones they're looking into.
I know. But, look, maybe it's
a sign to take stock as well.
What Eadie did was wrong.
I know Stevie had it tough,
but she was only supposed to stay
a few days.
Stevie's my sister,
who I didn't see for years
because Eadie Tulloch sent her
to fucking Aberdeen!
Where she apparently has no life
to go back to.
Stevie, I'm sorry
OK, so, tonight,
where and when do you want to meet?
I just need to work out
how I'm going to get away.
It's not going to be easy.
Chloe?
Chloe!
Chloe!
- Chloe!
- Chloe!
Chloe!
- Where is she?! Chloe!
- Oh, my God.
Just stay there, stay there. Don't move.
- I was just looking for shells.
- There we go. Good girl.
I've got you. OK.
Chloe?
- Oh, God. Sweetheart
- You're OK.
- Chloe Chloe, what happened?
- She's fine. She's OK.
Here.
It's OK.
- I'm fine, Dad.
- OK.
You're supposed to be watching her.
OK, sweetheart. You all right?
Silly Mummy, giving you a fright.
- Anything?
- Still saying nothing.
- We could arrest him.
- For what?
Not talking to us?
Colin Waite was offended
when I asked him
if he ever brought Eadie whisky.
He says Eadie didn't drink.
Ooh! Wait till he sees the path report.
But SOCO did come up with this.
- Where did they find that?
- Buried in Eadie's wheelie bin.
Were there any fingerprints
on it? Any DNA traces?
Contaminated, apparently.
But that's a special release.
It means it's pretty rare.
I checked the distillery website.
You have to order this one
direct from them.
All right, give them a call, see
if anyone in Shetland ordered one.
Will do.
So, how did it go with Lana Mair?
Well, we're no closer to finding out
why she set fire to Eadie's house.
She did accuse her husband though.
- Accuse him of what?
- Well, we don't exactly know.
Yeah, Arthur shut the interview
down. He's scared of something.
So maybe Lana's accusing him
of killing Eadie.
That's why she started the fire.
Covering Arthur's tracks,
destroying the evidence.
Maybe take a wee breath here,
because we don't actually have
any evidence that would support that.
Yeah, everyone we've spoken to
says the Mairs
and the Tullochs were close
friends for over 40 years.
Come on, there must've been some issues.
It can't have all been
sweetness and light.
So, who really knows them?
So, why haven't you released her?
Erm, because we
we don't quite have the answers
that we're looking for yet.
And you really think you will?
Some days Mum barely recognises me.
Could I, erm?
So, what we're trying to do is
establish when your dad
last saw Eadie.
- Do you remember?
- Did he call in on her sometimes?
Eadie was more and more shut off.
And Dad's main concern is Mum.
Did they ever fall out with each other?
What? Dad and Eadie?
Any arguments or animosity?
Our families went through a lot.
Your brother Ally, you mean?
- And Craig Tulloch.
- Yeah.
Losing Ally nearly broke
Mum and Dad apart
and the way they supported
Robert and Eadie
If you're suggesting that my dad
would ever hurt her
This is mad!
Isobel, can I ask you a question?
Sure.
Who does that whisky belong to?
- Arthur took that bottle to Eadie's.
- Which puts him in her house.
Aye, which means he's lying to us.
- I want him in the interview room.
- I'll call Sandy.
Sorry.
I've been looking for you.
I eventually thought of Mum's grave.
Listen, Luke's just being a dick.
Yeah, well, he's got a point.
Amy, I don't have a life
to get back to in Aberdeen
so, sorry for staying so long
and getting in the way.
Stevie, you're not.
You've been great.
And Aidan loves you.
We're family.
We've missed so many years together.
We'll make new memories.
Good ones.
Come on, let's go.
We found out that Eadie had been
drinking just before she died.
Do you recognise this?
We found it at Eadie's.
It's yours, isn't it, Arthur?
From your collection.
Why would we have found this
in Eadie's bin?
Lana said you did something terrible.
She also said that you have a temper.
That doesn't mean
But what if Lana found out
that you had
and she was trying to help you
cover your tracks?
The fire?
That's not why she started it.
So, then, why did she?
Arthur, Eadie's dead.
If you didn't hurt her, talk to us.
Explain why you were in her house.
Isobel said that you'd
stuck by the Tullochs
through the years.
She said that your marriage
had struggled
after you lost your son.
Oh.
That was when it started, wasn't it?
What do you mean? What started?
Your affair with Eadie Tulloch.
You don't know what
you're talking about!
Did Lana freeze you out?
Is that what happened?
Because that can happen sometimes
with grief.
It can close people off.
But it can also push them together.
Was it still going on?
Even when you were
you were caring for Lana?
No!
[ARTHUR SIGHS]
So when did it finish?
I ended it for good
when Lana was diagnosed.
Five years back.
You should have told us this.
It's private.
It's nothing to do with Eadie's death.
- [RUTH SCOFFS]
- When did you last see her?
Saturday.
I brought a bit of dinner
and the whisky.
And what happened?
Nothing.
We ate, we chatted, had a dram after.
- Just the one?
- Yes.
And Eadie was fine when you left?
Yes, she was fine.
And what did you do for the rest
of the evening, Arthur?
I was at home, like every night.
Ask Isobel and Jess.
I helped bathe Lana,
helped put her to bed,
and we fell asleep together.
There's our reason for the fire.
If he's telling the truth.
- You think he's lying?
- He did lie.
Concealed this affair,
didn't tell us about being at
Eadie's on the day she died.
But his story checks out, timings-wise.
He brings over some dinner,
leaves Eadie fit and well,
David Powell comes over after.
Yeah, David even remembers Eadie
tidying up dinner when he arrived.
And Isobel confirms Arthur
being at home that night, too.
Oh, come on. A family member?
Sure.
But I don't see a motive.
- He was having an affair with Eadie.
- Which ended years ago.
Maybe Eadie was threatening to tell.
But why broadcast it now,
with all the potential damage
to her reputation?
And even if Eadie was threatening it,
why would Arthur kill her like that?
No, I don't think the affair
is a motive.
I think it's a defence.
We need to release them.
OK, where does that leave us?
Another?
No, I should get back.
Luke's been texting. I've probably
ignored him enough to make my point.
Sure.
But you leave him to me, OK?
And all this with Eadie,
you know it doesn't change what we do.
We still sue the hell out of them.
Press harder, even.
If things had moved faster,
maybe Eadie Tulloch
would've faced some consequences.
Maybe she did if she was killed.
Someone's caught up with her.
I guess.
And there's still the other one.
Other what?
Social worker. McCabe.
Morag McCabe.
Eadie Tulloch's wee sidekick.
She's just as much to blame.
Arthur
that last time you saw Eadie,
was she worried about anything?
No.
Why?
Someone saw her after you.
Said she seemed strange.
Talked about settling her affairs.
Ah, well
we're all weighing that up at our age.
Is that all for Lana, then,
about the fire?
No decision's been made.
Do you want a cup of tea?
Yes, please.
[PHONE BUZZES]
- This makes no sense.
- But this is your home address, sir?
- Yes, of course.
- What the hell?!
Then we need to check out
what has been reported.
Come on, this is nonsense.
- What's going on?
- Amy
Sorry, miss, who are you?
Amy Shannon. I live here.
There's been a report of a domestic
disturbance at this address,
putting a child in danger.
What?!
We had a wee argument hours back,
but no big disturbance.
Well, are we OK to come in and check?
Yeah, go on. We've nothing to hide.
POLICE RADIO: Delta Bravo 27
on site at the Shannon residence.
- Do you mind if I?
- Yeah.
[AIDAN CRIES]
No, I'll go. I'll go.
She's my sister.
She's been staying with us.
Sorry.
Apologies.
We're obliged to check
these things out, you know.
I know.
Listen, sometimes wires get crossed.
People play jokes, even.
Yeah.
We'll leave you guys to
enjoy your evenings, OK?
You looking for this?
Explains your distraction anyway.
- So who is it?
- What?
You're seeing someone else.
Meeting them tonight.
- No. Chris, no
- Bollocks! Explain this.
Your stress,
I thought it was the restaurants.
It is the restaurants.
No, wait! Chris wait, wait.
I am in deep shit, OK?
That's why I brought us here.
You're not making any sense, Hayley.
The restaurants got into debt
and I did something stupid,
and now I have to do exactly
as I'm told or we're in danger.
- All of us, Chris.
- Who?
What are they telling you to do?
What have you done?
I've got to hand it
to the dealer tonight.
How could you do this to us?
- Hi.
- Hi.
You didn't have to drive them home
personally, you know.
At least we're learning
a bit more about Eadie.
You mean the affair with Arthur?
Mm.
But also, you know, a son
who didn't speak to her.
A strange friendship with David Powell.
Potentially questionable work decisions.
You heard anything
from the angry sisters?
No, still waiting on Aberdeen
Services, but Sandy's checking
if we can place either of them
in Lunniswick.
Good idea, 'cos something happened
that made Eadie hit the whisky.
Sandy also looked into her money.
The digital statements
go back ten years,
and nothing has been touched
that whole time.
He's trying to find paper records
so we can go back even further.
Mm.
- Oh.
- Oh.
A Hunting Wind by Ed Tulloch?
Just curious.
I thought it might give me a bit of
insight into the family, you know.
I, erm
I also found out that Ed knew Cal.
- Cal?
- Yeah.
- How?
- Just, you know, small place.
James and Cal drank at his bar and
Ed and Cal played music together.
- Wow.
- I know.
You don't talk about him much.
Cal.
No.
No, I suppose I don't.
[VEHICLE APPROACHES]
I don't like people
skulking round my place.
[RUTH LAUGHS]
James, erm
sorry.
It's been a while.
Let me park and we'll get inside.
OK.
Thank you.
- Cheers.
- Oh, cheers.
Business still thriving, then?
Ach
I was always the brains.
- He was just the poster boy.
- [RUTH LAUGHS]
It's good to see you, Ruthie.
You too.
Why did you leave it so long?
Erm
just protecting myself, you know.
Trying to move on.
It was Ed, actually,
that encouraged me to
Aye. He texted.
- Said your paths had crossed.
- Oh.
Well, that would've given you time
to hide the contraband, then,
- in case I showed up.
- [JAMES LAUGHS]
That was definitely all my brother.
Do you know him well? Ed, I mean.
Known him a long time, yeah.
And he's been round a lot the last year.
He's a good lad.
He reminds me of Cal.
Hm.
Oh, come on.
If you're done with that, bed.
You look wrecked.
Thanks very much!
You know, it's rude to comment
on a lady's appearance.
What if you're concerned cos
the lady is working insane hours?
I know.
I know. It's been a crazy few days.
Thanks for picking up the slack.
Oh, you know me, Tosh.
I run a tight ship.
- Now, bed.
- OK!
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Oh.
- Sandy?
- Sorry.
Late in the day, but we just got
something back from Aberdeen.
On Stevie Shannon?
Yes. Not the official files yet.
This is more anecdotal.
What is it?
Seems there were some disturbing reports
that came from the children's homes
where Stevie was placed.
What kind of reports?
Concerns that she was manipulating
other kids.
Turning them against one another.
On occasion, encouraging them
to run away with her.
Hayley?
I'm coming with you.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
You're not doing this alone.
If it has to happen,
we're in it together.
- What about Chloe?
- She's spark out.
She never wakes up.
And we'll be quick.
The dealer said if we hand
this over, then we're free.
That's what they said, right?
That's what they said.
So let's do it.
Come on.
I love you.
Who do you think called them?
The police.
Next-door?
She's had it in for us since Aidan
knocked her flowers over.
They came into our home, Luke.
Uniformed officers.
- In case we were a danger to our son.
- I know.
You're the one that let them in.
Well, then, act like you care.
I mean, this should bother you.
What are you talking about, Amy?
- It's like you're not even
- Amy, Amy, I care, for God's sake.
You're just scrolling your phone.
You're literally sitting there
scrolling on your phone
Jesus Christ!
Don't worry about the noise,
wee man, Auntie Stevie's here,
and I'll look after you.
We're a family, after all.
You,
your mum
and me.
[SHE CHUCKLES]
Family.
Just the three of us.
