Shetland (2012) s10e04 Episode Script

1
- Sorry, miss, who are you?
- Amy Shannon. I live here.
There's been a report of a domestic
disturbance.
We've nothing to hide.
So she gave Amy the happily ever after
and put Stevie on the mainland ferry?
It was an impossible call.
Morag, do the Shannon sisters know
that you were involved in their case?
Did you set us up?!
I thought the stuff was on that boat.
So that means they still need to
land the gear, right?
If it's not on the boat, they're
going to know someone talked.
- [LOUD THUD]
- Jesus Christ!
What did I tell you, son?
There is a couple of missing
paper statements.
I will try and find them.
This is a police officer
we're talking about.
Don't breathe a word of this to Billy.
That's how you lot operate, isn't it?
Something like this happens
and you go looking for a scapegoat.
The one I saw in the dead
woman's garden. It was her.
Seems there were
some disturbing reports that
came from the children's homes
where Stevie was placed.
I don't trust her, Amy.
We're a family, after all.
You, your mum and me.
[DOOR OPENS]
I'm going to win this time.
- No, you're not!
- Yes, I am.
Snap!
I win.
[THEY LAUGH]
Stevie!
Mum! Mum! Mum!
- Wake up, Mum!
- [BUZZER]
Hello.
I'm Eadie Tulloch.
I'm a social worker.
I need to have a wee word
with your mum. Is she here?
[GASPS]
[SHE SIGHS]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Will says he's working for you.
Last thing he needs is to get
dragged into any more shit.
Wahey! And here he is.
You're up early.
I've got a wee favour to ask you.
Stuart, will you give us a minute,
please?
Cheers.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDE]
I don't think your mum likes me
very much.
- [DOOR SHUTS] IN DISTANCE
- Don't.
Stuart's my best pal
- and I've known him since I was seven.
- Hmm.
Don't.
What do you want?
Well, we arrested a couple of couriers
who were bringing drugs in
for the Callaghans.
Long story short
they've got a man here in Shetland
who they're working with.
And?
And I want you to get me the name.
How am I supposed to do that?
You work at the harbour. You see things.
I think you know exactly
who can get me that name.
What if I don't want to?
Well, we'll just to have to call
your parole officer, won't we?
In fact, shall we
Shall we do that now?
Do it.
Do it!
I'd rather go back inside
than be your lackey
- for the rest of my life.
- Right, you listen here.
I have been working on this case
for more than six months
and I am this close to getting a result.
You get me that name, I'll drop
your charge. How about that?
Hmm?
Call me when you've got something.
Give him plenty of water
and tell your mum no more bloody cake.
- Call you later.
- [REPLACES RECIEVER]
- Everything OK?
- Er
Aidan was sick last night
and Luke can't seem to calm him down.
Well, I guess it's good
that Luke's mum's there.
She can look after him.
So, I was thinking,
since it's just us,
we should do something.
You know, we Maybe we could
go to the beach, or
I could go get stuff for a picnic.
Don't you think we'd be
better going to the police station?
Why?
To tell them about you
being at Eadie Tulloch's house.
Stevie, this is why I stayed.
You asked me to help you.
Aye, but I didn't think
we'd just stroll in and confess.
Well, it's better that you
come forward with the truth
- than them find out you lied.
- [SHE SCOFFS]
Look, I'll come with you. OK?
W-We'll explain that you made a mistake
and we will just get it all sorted out.
Amy, it doesn't work like that.
- [PHONE RINGS]
- Well
Luke, I'm tr
There's Calpol in the bag.
- I'm going to go to the shops.
- What?
Er Stevie!
Good morning, Stevie.
I'm afraid we're going to need you
to come back down to the station.
Sorry, I-I don't have time.
Well, you're going to have to make time.
Or we could do it here, at your flat.
Right.
Long day, eh?
Oh, man.
- Decent prices today?
- What?
I was looking for some work.
I wondered if maybe
you could help me out.
I've got all the crew I need, son.
Er, it's not for fishing work.
It's for the other s-sort of work.
Callaghan sort of work?
Think you've got the wrong guy.
Well, m-maybe you know
the right guy, though.
Like, can you point me
in the right direction,
or give me a phone number or something?
Move.
Chris Burnett is positive he saw Stevie
in Eadie Tulloch's garden on the day
we think she was killed.
And then there's the taxi driver
who picked up a woman
who looked like Stevie
and drove her to Lunniswick.
And her motive is what? Revenge?
Well, essentially, yes.
Stevie blamed Eadie
for putting her into care.
Because anyone that's been through
the care system is a criminal?
No! That's
That's not what we're saying.
You just said she killed Eadie
because Eadie put her into care.
It's a POTENTIAL motive.
I spent a year in care.
And overall, for me,
it was a positive experience.
In fact, if it wasn't for
the people who took care of me
and my family, I wouldn't be here today.
And we're very grateful
that you are here.
But Stevie Shannon did NOT have
a positive time in care.
Her case files prove that.
And if she did resent Eadie,
maybe she used that resentment
to take it out on her.
Yeah, plus, Amy and Stevie's mum
died after Eadie removed them
from their home,
and they blame her for that.
Chris Burnett's statement
won't stand up in court.
And just because Stevie
took a taxi to Lunniswick
doesn't mean she killed Eadie.
Well, there's the unidentified print.
OK. And if they're a match
to Stevie Shannon,
you're on your way to building a case.
But she's under no obligation
to give you her prints!
Frankly, given what you have, I
I'm so surprised
you even brought her in.
He's right.
We don't have enough.
- But if we can get her prints
- Och, there's no way she's going to
let us take her fingerprints.
Be lucky if we even get her
to talk in there.
So what are we going to do?
I've got an idea.
[DOOR OPENS]
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Right. OK.
[CLICK]
OK, er, just so you know, Stevie,
we have a witness who gave
a fairly accurate description
of the person that was in
Eadie Tulloch's garden.
Now we we can't say for sure,
but we think that person
might've been Amy.
We know this is difficult.
Amy's your sister, but we wanted to ask
whether you might be able to give us
some insigh
t into her state of mind.
What?
Well, because you've
been around her recently.
Yeah, and you said yourself
Amy blames Eadie
over the death of your mum.
No, I didn't.
Oh, er, I'm
I'm pretty sure you did.
Hang on.
Yeah, you said,
"Amy's never come to terms with
what happened to Mum.
"She wants someone to blame,
and Eadie's convenient."
I mean, Amy had issues with Eadie,
didn't she?
She was suing social services.
Maybe the case was taking too long.
- She got frustrated
- Have yous two lost your minds?
You think that Amy killed Eadie Tulloch?
It's a pretty compelling motive.
And given recent events, I mean,
it's pretty clear
- that something's not right in that flat.
- Mm.
What events?
Someone called the police to report
that Aidan was in danger.
Yeah, it was just a prank call.
How can you be so sure?
Because Amy isn't violent. I know her.
But DO you?
I mean, you two only got back
in touch, what was it, a year ago?
That's practically strangers.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
You've got no idea what me and Amy are.
You'd never understand.
And see this, what you two are
trying to do, get between us?
They've been trying to do it
for years, the social work,
the courts, the police.
You've all tried to keep us apart.
So it won't work.
See the shit that we went through
when we were kids?
It bonds you for life.
Sounds to me like you didn't
get anything from her.
- She said she knew it was a prank call.
- What?
Alex, the domestic at Amy Shannon's
the other night,
do we know who reported it?
Still saying it's anonymous.
Yeah, but there'll be
a recording of it somewhere, yeah?
- Do you think I could get a copy of it?
- Mm-hm.
- Now. Today.
- Right.
- Thank you.
- I'm on it.
You think Stevie made that call?
Well, maybe, yes.
Why on earth would she report
her own sister to social services?
Well, because Stevie thinks
the whole world is trying to
get in between her and her sister.
And maybe, maybe, that includes
Luke and Aidan too.
[PHONE RINGS]
Yes, Alan, what?
Sorry to catch you at work
but I think you're going to need to
come up to the kirk.
Erm, this might be important.
- OK.
- All right.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I've been through everything.
Twice.
I still can't explain where
the Tulloch money came from.
Unless
we entertain the idea that
Robert Tulloch was taking bribes.
What about the missing
bank statement? Did you find it?
No. I contacted the bank
and they're sending a copy
over to you today.
But even without that, there's a
clear pattern of what was going on.
Look, maybe we should talk to Billy.
He worked wi Robert.
Might be able to throw some light
on all of this.
I would like us to have
a little more evidence
before we go accusing
his dead friend of corruption.
So how do we move forward?
Ray Powell.
Gina Powell's husband.
Ray was one of Robert Tulloch's
old cases.
Gina doesn't trust the police.
Said they ruined her family.
Maybe she knows something about Robert.
- I can pull that case file.
- Yeah, OK, great.
And, Sandy
we keep this between you and me
for now, OK?
Of course.
An assault.
A violent, unprovoked assault
on a defenceless boy.
Him a grown man, too.
And Tom Jameson did this to you?
Why did he do it?
What does that matter?
Fact is, he committed a crime.
You need to get over there
and arrest the man.
- Margaret, do you think?
- All due respect, minister,
I'm talking with your sister now.
Ethan.
Was this about Jess being pregnant?
Yeah?
And her dad not happy about it?
He banned me from seeing her.
You were with her yesterday, though.
Are you trying to justify this?
I'm just trying to understand it.
Well, understand this.
None of us are happy about this baby.
Ethan's too young to be a parent.
We tried to speak to them.
Tried to persuade them
that Jess should
make an arrangement,
but they wouldn't hear of it.
Isobel, of course, digging her heels in.
I've never met a woman
so keen to become a gran.
So, here we are.
Two kids, their whole lives ruined.
Jess wants to get the baby adopted.
You never told me that.
She was talking to Eadie about it.
Eadie Tulloch?
Eadie said she'd look into it.
That was before she, you know, died.
Who else knew about this?
What's your name?
Will Louden.
Give me your phone.
- What?
- Your phone.
Go here.
Say Jacob sent you.
Cute kid, by the way.
Gina.
Can I have a word?
I've been going over your
late husband's case file.
Why?
We've had cause to look into
Robert Tulloch's time in the police.
Robert arrested Ray in connection
with the robbery
of a goods container at Lerwick docks.
According to the transcript
of his first interview,
Ray said that he was with you and David
at the time that the robbery happened.
So?
So there's no mention of the alibi
in his second interview.
He just submitted a signed confession.
I don't understand the problem.
Was Ray with you that night?
Well, it doesn't matter now.
Gina, if he didn't do it,
he shouldn't have gone to prison.
Back then, all this here, Lunniswick
This was Robert's kingdom.
Him and Eadie's.
But bloody Ray couldn't resist it.
Pulling off jobs
right under Robert's nose?
Way too big a temptation.
He made an enemy of Robert Tulloch.
Sorry, are you telling me
that Robert framed Ray
because Ray was
goading him?
You don't get it.
I'm telling you that Ray wasn't
with us the night of the robbery,
just like he said in his confession.
[SHE SIGHS]
A fish supper, please.
I'm Will.
Sheila.
Er, Jacob sent me.
Jacob from the harbour?
Does Jacob want chips?
No, he told me to come here
to see about some work.
You want to work here?
No.
Maybe I could speak to the boss?
I'm the boss.
Salt and vinegar?
Er, no. No.
That's 15.
Thank you.
[TILL BEEPS AND OPENS]
Thanks.
- The hell's that about?
- I don't know.
I'm going to take my break, Sheila.
I'll be back in an hour.
- Make sure you are.
- Aye, all right.
Stevie, where the hell have you bee?
Hi, Amy. How are you doing?
It's just a routine follow-up.
Routine? You're here because
you think I'm an unfit mother.
Nobody thinks that, Amy.
And it's for your protection, too.
It means if I get any more of
these anonymous reports,
we can take them with a pinch of salt.
- Where is the wee one anyway?
- He's with Luke.
At Luke's mum's. The whole family's
up there this week.
Oh. You didn't want to go?
I was planning to,
but I had to stay here.
Stevie needed me for
And how is Stevie?
Um, aye, she's, er, she's fine.
I admit I was in the wrong.
I I should never have
raised my hands to Ethan.
You make it sound like you gave him
a clip around the ear.
Right.
THIS is what Ethan's
mum woke up to the morning.
Jesus.
I'm sorry. I
That was
- Yesterday was a tough day.
- Was it?
It's not an excuse.
I'm just saying, that isn't
something that I would normally do.
Ethan says you've banned him
from seeing Jess.
Is that right? That your thing, is it?
Deciding who your daughter
gets to spend time with?
No. I never said they couldn't speak
to each other ever again.
This baby has caused a lot of grief
between us and Ethan's family
so I thought it best
if they kept away from each other
until after the baby was born.
Yeah, Margaret Stone doesn't seem
too happy about Jess being pregnant.
Margaret's never happy.
What about you and Isobel?
How do you feel about
Jess becoming a mum?
It's what she wants,
so we're behind her.
Is it?
Is it what she wants?
Did you know that Jess
had gone to Eadie Tulloch
about putting the baby up for adoption?
No, I didn't.
You don't seem to surprised, by it.
Jess is a law unto herself.
She stopped surprising me years ago.
Did Eadie speak to you about it?
- No. - No?
- We barely spoke.
Apart for a grudging hello
now and again.
- You never discussed it with her?
- No.
So why do you think Jess went to Eadie?
Like I say, Jess is unpredictable.
So how do you feel about it now?
Knowing what they were planning?
Look, you brought me in here because
of what happened with Ethan,
right?
Now, I've admitted to the assault,
so let me just sign whatever it is
I have to sign so that I can go.
I need to get home.
Ma'am.
Is Ethan OK?
Well, he's got a sore face,
but I think he'll live.
Oh, poor kid.
Still, at least now we know
Tom Jameson's got a violent streak.
Well yes and no.
I mean, to be fair,
the man's had a tough time.
He's lost his job,
he's got health issues
and now his daughter has
gone and got herself up the duff.
That doesn't excuse beating up a kid.
- No.
- [KNOCKS ON DESK]
It does not.
Alex, could we charge Tom Jameson
and bail him for now
and get someone to
drop him off back home?
Sure.
Anyway, we're going to have to
find some time to talk to Jess,
see when she last saw Eadie.
According to Ethan, Jess went
to see Eadie couple of weeks ago
about finding a family
to adopt the baby.
Well, it makes sense, doesn't it?
- [ALERT CHIMES]
- Given Eadie's history
- in family services.
- Do the Jamesons know
that Jess is giving up the baby?
Tom Jameson didn't. What's this?
Oh. Er, I've got to
I've got to go and see Louden.
I'll catch you later.
- OK.
- Can I get you some tea?
No, I'm good.
Everything all right?
Actually
I went out to Lunniswick,
to see Gina Powell.
I think we need to have a chat
about Robert Tulloch.
Robert? Why?
Some things have come to light, Billy.
Things I can't explain.
Y'know what? It'll wait.
Thanks.
[SHE CHUCKLES]
Aw.
He's a handsome boy.
- [DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
- Amy, it's me.
Good to see you, Stevie.
Morag's just checking in after
the police visit the other day.
Nothing to worry about.
Like I said to Amy, just a
an informal visit
to see how everybody's doing.
You have to give notice.
Well, that's not strictly true.
I'm pretty sure you can't show up
unannounced, like.
Stevie, will you leave it?
Amy, listen to me.
There's rules and procedures
that she's not following.
It's fine, OK?
It's not fine.
This is my family.
Now, go in the other room
and let me and Morag finish up here.
[SHE SIGHS]
[SHE PANTS]
I'm I'm sorry about that.
Och, no, you're fine.
She's just looking out for you.
Like a sister should.
Er, look, I'll need to drop by again
when Aidan's here,
but as far as I'm concerned,
there's nothing to worry about.
Except, what you have
with Aidan and Luke,
that's what's important.
Don't let anyone
get in the way of that, Amy,
no matter who they are.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDE, DOOR OPENS]
What do you mean you can't do it?
It's only been a morning.
It's just too dangerous.
It's just a name, Louden.
- I think they're on to me.
- Who?!
The people who work for the Callaghans.
Right, and what makes you think that?
I got a tip-off this morning
and it turned out to be bullshit.
How do you know?
Because why would
they piss me about like that?
- [PHONE CHIMES]
- What if they know
- that I'm working for you lot?
- I think you're being paranoid, mate.
I'd rather be paranoid than dead.
[SHE SIGHS]
I'm done. Sorry, I'm done.
All right.
Hey.
What if I did something for you?
Like what?
I don't fucking know, what do you want?
- I want to see my daughter.
- What?
Erin. I want more access to Erin.
- Oh, come on.
- Please.
Louden, you know
I can't do something like that.
Oh, Jeez. Oh!
All right.
All right. OK.
I'll make a phone call.
It's me.
I've found the grass.
Well, she said she had
no concerns, so maybe
that'll be the end of it.
Luke, I'll call you back.
What are you doing?
I, er, I think it's better if I go.
What? Go? G-Go where?
Back to Aberdeen.
Why?
I'm obviously in the way.
That's not true.
Amy, I heard you at the door.
You and McCabe, talking about
getting rid of me.
I mean, she made it perfectly clear that
I shouldn't be around you or Aidan.
That's not what she meant.
It's exactly what she meant.
Look she was just talking, OK,
and it's not
It's not like I agree with her.
You didn't disagree with her, though.
Didn't stand up for me, did you?
Stevie. Stop.
I'm sorry. OK? I
Just this stuff with Aidan,
it's freaking me out.
I don't want you to leave.
I-I need you.
Especially now.
Look, erm, why don't we
Why don't we do that picnic?
Here. Just you and me.
Be like the old days, back in the house.
Except this time we'll actually
have something to eat.
Tell you what, why don't you, er
You take the car,
go to the supermarket
and get us some food.
Nothing healthy, mind,
just junk food and wine.
I'll get everything sorted here.
Please.
Stay?
Just at least for one more night.
WHISPERS: Fine.
You were right.
I'm always right.
But remind me again what it is
I'm right about this time.
Alex got the recording of the
999 report made about Amy Shannon.
Stevie Shannon made the call.
- So she did report her own sister.
- Let's go.
- What? What, now?
- Well, if she made a malicious report,
we have grounds to arrest her.
And then we'll have her prints.
Ah!
Your sister's been lying to us.
About what?
About being in Eadie Tulloch's house
on the day she died.
OK. She
She went up there, yes,
but she didn't see or talk to Eadie.
So you knew about this?
We were going to come by
the station today to explain.
She's already been at the station.
Yeah. This morning!
And do you know what,
she never said anything about
being at Eadie Tulloch's house.
OK, well, like I said,
she's worried about how it looks.
But even if she went up there,
she didn't do anything to Eadie.
How can you be sure?
Because she would've told me.
Did she tell you about the phone call?
What phone call?
STEVIE: Listen, the couple are
always arguing.
And there's a wee boy in there.
I'm just
I'm worried that he might be in danger.
[LINE CLICKS]
Are you OK?
Why would she do that?
[PHONE RINGS]
Now, if that's Stevie,
can I talk to her?
I didn't know if you wanted
red or white,
so I just got both.
How could you, Stevie?
After everything I've done for you.
Aidan's my son. Your nephew.
And you told them he was in danger.
No, they're they're lying.
That's not true
I heard the recording, Stevie!
- Let me talk to her.
- That's not me.
They've made it up. They're
They're faking it so it sounds like me.
No, no, no. No, there is no "they".
There is no big conspiracy
working against us.
There is only you.
And I'm
And I'm done with you.
[BEEP]
Amy, I think you should come with us
to the station.
Fuck!
If Jess and Ethan hadn't
called the ambulance,
who knows what would have happened.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- You know
I do owe you my life, Jess.
[DOOR CLOSES]
What happened?
Just took my prints,
asked me a few questions.
Did they charge you?
So you're going to go to prison?
Serves him right if he does go.
- Jess!
- What?
He attacked Ethan.
And I said I was sorry.
So? That doesn't change anything.
I never thought you were capable
of doing something like that.
We've all got our secrets.
What?
Jess.
I'll deal with her.
Make yourself comfortable.
I'll get you some water.
Thanks.
[PHONE RINGS]
What is it?
You don't know them like I do.
What are you talking about?
You don't know how they work.
- They twist things.
- Stevie
YOU made that call.
YOU sent the police to my house.
I know.
And I'm sorry.
But don't worry -
er, I'm going to put everything right.
I promise. Er..
I'm going to make sure
she can't take Aidan off you.

Pretty glass, an empty heart ♪
I'm just a mirror ♪
I don't exist ♪
[VOLUME INCREASES]
Without your gaze ♪
Amy!
Amy!
[ANGUISHED WAIL]
[SHE EXHALES SHARPLY]
I fade away. ♪
And did she say where she was?
No, but she She sounded weird.
- Like she was going to do something.
- Like what?
She said she was going to make
sure she didn't take Aidan away.
She? Sorry, who is she?
Stevie was there this afternoon
when she came round to visit.
When WHO came round to visit, Amy?
Oh, Christ.
- Billy?
- Morag? Where are you?
I'm back at the house.
I need you to get in the car
and come into the station.
What?
Just do as I ask, Morag.
Morag?
Yeah, no, no, I'm here. I'm here.
Look, what's going on?
We can't find Stevie Shannon.
[THUD]
We think she might head to the house
I think she's here.
Morag?
Stevie?
Do you want to come out, pet?
If you want to talk
I'm here.
Stevie?
OK, Sandy, find out if
there's anyone near the house
and get them over there.
On it.
No, no, no, no, no, Billy.
You need to stay here.
To hell with that!
I know you had it tough, Stevie,
and I'm sorry.
You got a bad deal and you've
every right to blame us, but
we were just doing our jobs.
You took her from me.
You stole her.
You and Tulloch.
We had to, Stevie.
Your mum was a good person,
but she couldn't cope.
My mum. You think I give a shit
about that useless junkie?
You took Amy from me.
I remember everything.
You and Tulloch took us outside.
I saw the looks between yous.
I remember you grabbing me
while she threw Amy in the car.
I can still smell your perfume.
You're wearing it now, aren't you?
It fucking stinks.
You
You took my sister from me.
- You've still got Amy.
- It is not the same!
She is different.
She She She has Aidan and Luke
and her work and a flat
with fucking tea towels!
I want the old Amy.
You know, just me and her,
nobody else,
just like it was in the flat!
You can't have that.
I know.
- You can't have it, Stevie.
- I said
I know!
You can't
You can't have it, pet.
You can't
[SHE WEEPS]
You can't have it.
I'm sorry.
[SHE SOBS]
I'm so sorry.
Morag?
Morag.
I don't want her charged, Sandy.
As far as I'm concerned,
there was no crime here.
Did she say anything, Morag?
About what?
Eadie.
No. No. She was speaking about
the day we took her and Amy away
Maybe me and Eadie, we should've
handled things better.
You did what you could, love.
Yeah.
And a fat lot of good that did!
[DOOR SLAMS]
She's had a shock.
Aye.
Her and me both.
I'll leave you to it.
Let me know if you need anything.
Sandy? Earlier,
Tosh was asking about Robert.
Any idea why?
No.
But I'm sure it'll keep.
Just take care of Morag.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hello?
Is that Louden?
- Yeah.
- I hear you're looking for a job.
Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, hey.
How did you get this number, though?
Look, if you're not interested
Well, no, I am. Yeah, 100%.
Good. 'Cos I might have
something on tonight.
Nothing too big,
but I need an extra pair of hands.
Yeah, OK.
Right.
Well, keep your phone on you,
and I'll let you know
when and where later.
Er, I didn't get your name, though.
I can do the proper
introductions tonight.
I'll be in touch.
She was strangled,
tied to a post
and left to rot in her garden.
Eadie Tulloch.
Your social worker.
And then there's Morag McCabe.
Another social worker.
Who you attacked
in her own home this afternoon.
I didn't do this.
But you WERE in Lunniswick.
You WERE in Eadie Tulloch's house.
No, I was in her garden.
Why were you in her garden?
I don't know, I just
I wan I wanted to see her.
Right, so you spoke to her?
No. No.
I mean
I wanted toto look at her.
Why?
I jus
I wanted to look at her.
You know, see if she still looked
the way that she did when
she came to the house that day
And did she?
No.
She just looked like a wee old woman.
Right, let me get this straight.
You, er
You didn't go into the house,
you didn't talk to Eadie Tulloch,
and you didn't attack her,
like you tried to attack Morag?
I just watched her through the window,
and then I went back to Amy's.
OK.
Was she with anyone else?
The thing is, Stevie
It's really hard for us to believe you.
You say one thing, and then
you go and do something
that completely contradicts that.
This morning
you told us you and Amy were bonded.
That you would do anything
for each other.
And then we find out that you
reported her to children's services.
No, I
I didn't mean that.
So why'd you do it?
I think I wanted her to have that
feeling again.
What do you mean, what feeling?
Like chaos.
When everything's out of control
and you're falling.
When I was 13
er, I spent a year
in a children's home in
Banff or
Elgin - I don't I don't remember.
Anyway, er,
the kids there, they would
They'd play this game
where they'd imagine the families
that would adopt them.
It's bullshit.
Nobody fucking wanted us.
I never fantasised about any family.
I just wanted to be at home, wi Amy.
With the chaos
and the falling feeling.
I was happy
there
wi Amy.
WHISPERS: I think Amy's the only
person that's ever loved me.
[SHE SNIFFS]
I didn't do this.
So what are your thoughts?
It sounded like the truth to me.
But we've been here before.
Oh, come on!
Even YOU can't think that
children's home story was a lie.
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.
- Jesus. You're cynical! - What?!
- I'm not going to form an opinion
- on someone
- [PHONE RINGS]
..just 'cos they've given me
the Little Orphan Annie schtick.
DI Calder.
Oh
All right.
Right, thanks.
So
[SHE SIGHS]
Stevie's prints are
not a match for the set
that were found at the Tulloch house.
So where does that leave us?
With no suspect and no motive.
OK. Well, look, it's not
a total wash-out -
we can still charge Stevie
for making the false report.
And that's before the assault on Morag.
Yeah. Except Morag's already said
she doesn't want to press charges.
That's not her choice to make.
Er
I'll take a view over it,
we should, er
probably release Stevie for now.
I'll go and sort it.
Shit. I'm supposed to be going out.
Er
I'm meeting a friend.
[RATTLING]
I'll leave you to it.
Amy.
WHISPERS: I'm sorry.
[SHE SIGHS]
- Oh
- You made it, then?
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Er, look who I ran into.
It's Ed. You remember Ed,
don't you, Ruth?
Yes, I do.
How are you doing, Ed?
I'm fine.
Thought we could all eat together.
Sit down, both of you -
I'll go to the bar.
Get us a nice bottle of wine.
Er, no, I'm fine.
No wine for me, thanks.
Yeah, nor Nor me.
We didn't "bump into" each other.
He called me,
- invited me for dinner.
- It's all right.
I didn't know you were coming.
I don't know what he's playing at.
Well, I think it's pretty obvious.
Look, I'll, er get out your way.
No! No, it's fine, just stay.
It's OK.
To be honest,
I'm short-staffed at the pub.
- Ah.
- I could do with being there.
Mm.
Tell James I'll get my revenge.
Hmm!
You know, it's not that
I don't want to
Dinner, I mean.
You. It's just Y'know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
It's fine.
- Catch you later.
- Yes, go on. Go!
[SHE SIGHS]
Er, where's he going?
Did you scare him away?
YOU scared him away
with your bloody Cilla Black impression.
DI Calder. Leave a message.
Hi, it's Will.
I've got some information
for you, right? So
just meet me at the fish market
in an hour, and
don't be late - please.
[DOOR OPENS]
How can I help you?
Hello. I was wondering if I
could speak to DI McIntosh, please.
Ray was with me the night the
robbery at the docks took place.
Robert arrested him at the house
the next morning.
At first, I wasn't worried,
and I knew Ray hadn't done it.
I figured he'd be at the station
a couple of hours
and then he'd come home.
But the day dragged on,
and he didn't come back.
And then, about ten o'clock
Robert came to see me.
He said they were
keeping him in overnight.
Holes in his story they needed to check.
I told him, "You've got it wrong.
He was with me."
What did Robert say?
He said it would be better
if Ray wasn't at home.
That I should lie, and say
he'd been out all night.
Robert was tired of him.
Wanted him off the Isles.
He made it quite clear that
I was to help him do that.
But you refused.
Yes, of course I did.
But then
Robert reminded me
that Eadie was the head
of family services
and one word from him, and she
would start investigating us.
"Kids get taken from their mums
all the time, Gina."
"You can either
"stand by Ray
"or
"or you can lose David."
Did Eadie know about this?
I don't know. But I
I couldn't take the chance.
I did what he said I betrayed Ray.
I mean, to be fair to him,
he understood why I had to do it,
he never blamed me for it.
Why didn't you report this, Gina?
Who to?
To another police officer.
Sergeant McCabe was here at that time.
Sergeant McCabe?
You mean Robert Tulloch's pal?
[SHE SIGHS]
[BEEP]
OK?
- Thank you very much.
- There we go.
I'm just saying you've got a type.
- I don't have a type.
- You do.
- You like the charming losers
- Hi, it's Will.
- the useless arty ones.
- I've got some information for you.
You want to be someone's muse.
Shit. Arghh!
Don't be too hard on yourself.
- The heart wants what the heart wants.
- Yeah. I'm sorry, James, er
I've got to go.
Look, I'll see you later.
Louden?
Are you there?
See if this is a fucking wind-up!
[SHE SIGHS, LINE RINGS]
Hi, it's Will. Sorry I can't
come to the phone right now.
Leave a message.
Louden?
Ohh!
[SHE WHIMPERS, SLAPS HIM GENTLY]
