[Annika]'I don't know about you,
but a high point at school

'was learning about
the Scandinavian sagas,

'and there was one in
particular,

'where a man foraging in the
woods
discovers a cabin,

'where 12 women are at work
at a loom.

'And it's not of those
charming wood looms,

'it's this gruesome thing

'made out of men's heads
and human entrails.

'And the women start singing a
song,

'where they choose
who is to be slain

'at the upcoming battle.'

[DS McAndrews]
Police. Any souls onboard?

- 'And at the end, they get on
their horses and fly away.'

These women were known as
Valkyries.

Now, I haven't seen a loom...

...or heard anyone singing,

but someone made a choice about
whether the person on this boat

should live or die.

And I only get called out
for the second thing.

[music]"Bringing Murder to the
Land"
by Anton Newcombe / Dot Allison

[vocalizing]

It's been carved.

Looks like schist rock.

- I think it looks pretty good!

- It'll be a gag like that
that got him stabbed.

Do you want me to sail this
back?

- No, I'll do it.
You get a team ready.

♪ Throw a vine, to the darkness
♪

♪ Cover your shadows,
placed inside ♪

♪ This light, will shine

♪ Unbroken tonight.

The hand sanitiser
contains isopropyl alcohol.

- I'm not asking you about that.

- It's an antiseptic and works
by killing microbial cells.

It was used as early as the
1300s.

- Morgan!

There's vodka in the water
bottle.

- Also an antiseptic.

[she sighs]

[seagulls cry]

"Alright, how are you doing?
-Alright?"

- Check in the berth.

I think a panel
has been replaced weirdly.

- Sure.

And, erm, your daughter's
school's
been calling the station.

- Excellent. I imagine she's won
a prize of some sort.

[phone rings]

This is my chance to lobby for
the inclusion of the Norwegian
sagas

as part of the curriculum.

DI Strandhed.

She's done what?

[explosion]

Are you alright?

Michael?

- Erm, yeah, yeah,
he's fine to keep working.

- Light duties for him, OK?

- He prefers being busy.

- What about the crime scene?

- We've got a team down there,
salvaging and reconstructing.

- So then, have Michael oversee
it.

Say... it suits his skillset.

- OK.
- It's a management word.

- Yeah, I understand it.

- So give it a go,
and if you want anymore, just
ask.

I've got loads more.

The device was meant to go off
at sea, Annika.

It could've been a lot worse.

- I know, I know. At least now,
we've got a chance of...

..piecing it together.

- I meant, for you.

- Oh.

- Have you spoken to your
daughter?

- She... She's having
some problems at school,

but, yes, I've spoken to her.

- Good. It's important
she knows you're alright.

- Mm-hm.
- As does the team.

- I know.

Oh, you mean,
I should go and talk to them?

- Yep.
- OK, thanks, Diane.

Am I... Am I OK...

I just called you Diane.

- It's fine. It's my name.

Sharks don't really have noses.
They've got these olfactory
lamellae

which interact with
organic molecules in the water

and alert them to prey.

- What?

- I'm just saying, a bunch of
sharks
are coming down the Clyde

cos you blew up a corpse.
Smelled it
from Greenland, apparently.

- OK, everyone seems to have
processed things, alright.

- So the victim was Ronnie Kidd.

He's 28 years old.

He was an art teacher at St
Blane's
Academy on the Isle of Bute.

- And the Valkyrie has a mooring
spot in Bute Harbour.

Good chance that's where it set
off.

And we have these things.

- The, erm, carvings,
they look Viking to me.

And I'm not just saying that
to feel at home.

- The killer
also brought explosives,

so it was clearly premeditated.

My guess is, he took
the boat's dinghy back to shore.

- You stick a wee responder
on an IED, call it up on a
mobile

and... bang. That's what I'd do.

- The panel on the berth,
you mentioned.

- Yeah, yeah.
I mean, we've certainly...

..got the crime scene. It's
just,
you know, in a billion pieces.

- Yeah, it's gonna take
some reconstructing.

- So I'll need you...

..to head that up,
and the rest of us

will go over to Bute
early tomorrow...

..and we'll pick it up from
there.

- Whoa, you're keeping me
behind?

- It suits your skillset.

[he laughs]

- It does what?

- Thanks, everyone.

- Hey! That was a joke, by the
way,

the shark thing.

I hope I didn't...

- No, it's good. Listen...

..how do you scare a kid off
booze?

I'm being parented with
a website about liver damage?

- Yes, because no-one believes
you use vodka as a mouthwash.

- Do you count your units?
- We're not talking about me.

- We're not talking about me
either.

- Not properly.
- Sorry, what did you say?

- It won't happen again. Happy?

- Who the hell is selling you
vodka?

Cos I can get an officer
down there to...

Ah, right. Yeah.

- So am I allowed to go
upstairs, or
do I have an AA meeting
somewhere?

- Why are YOU being snippy with
ME?

I could sail a boat
before I could walk.

Actually, that's ridiculous.
I could probably...

..draw a picture of a boat
before I could walk.

Either way, it was early.

And the first time I saw a dead
body
was out to sea.

Floating upwards,
with a lifejacket on.

I thought he was swimming, but
when I shouted, he didn't
answer.

So...

..I tied a rope to him
and towed him back to shore.

Never found out
what happened to him.

I was 13.

So the body could have been
mine...

..floating in the sea today,
so if anyone's bloody drinking,

it's... it's me.

Oh, Christ!

She could've put a mixer in it.

Did Oban agree
to your daughter coming?

- I don't have any choice.
She's been suspended.

Can you hang out with her?
She's not talking to me.

- Sure.

- We're being met by
Sergeant Tam Glenn.

He's set up an incident room for
us.

- Oh, he's found us a
blackboard,
has he?

[he chuckles]

- Play nice, will you?

We're guests.

Oh, hello!

Article here about Bute
being the jurisdiction

of the Norse king, Ketill
Flatnose,

which I will read aloud to you.

- How come Michael gets to
stay in Glasgow?

- "By the year 800, a new force
had
appeared on the Scottish scene,

"giving concern, especially
to the southwest of Scotland.

"These were the Norsemen,
or Vikings."

[DC Ferguson]
The baker onboard the Titanic

was a guy called Charles
Joughin.

He survived two hours in the
Atlantic before being rescued.

You wanna know how he did it?

He drunk a pint of whisky

and kept warm and alive
long enough to shout for help.

- Why would you tell me this?

- Cos if we sink, it'll be the
drunk
one who'll have to do the
shouting.

- I'm not drunk.

- OK.

Then I guess we'll both drown.

- Tam.
- Hey.

- Did you get your daughter
settled in?

- Yes. Yes, thanks for having
us.

- Oh, no bother.
It takes it off my desk.

- Ha! How long have you got?

- Two months.
- Congratulations.

- Aye. Just trying not
to get blown up before then.

- You'd rather go out
on a parking ticket?

- Well, erm, yes and no.

[she chuckles]

- Do you have a car that I can
use
while I'm here?

Do you use it for catching
sheep?

- Oh...

Well, I've been briefed on the
case,
boss,

and I don't think a sheep did
it.

[they chuckle]

OK. The victim, Ronnie Kidd.

He worked at the academy, here,

and he lived in the north
of the town, here.

And his boat was moored here,
just down from the harbour.

- CCTV on the mooring?

- Oh, it doesn't cover that far.

Next of kin is a brother, Grant,

and he worked at the quarry.

We told him yesterday.

- Did you tell Ronnie's
employer,
too?

- Not yet.

- Well, anyone else know?

- I guess,
the person that killed him.

- Ronnie's boat was found
ten miles up the firth,

so I've been looking at
how far it drifted.

- The coastguard could brief
you.

- It's OK, I worked it out.

So I modelled the tides,

and I'm 84% certain

that the Valkyrie left Bute
on Friday night.

- A motorised dinghy
is missing from it.

We assume the killer took it
to get back to the shore.

- We'll get looking.

Need anything else from me?

- There'll be times when I try
to
bum a cigarette off you.

It'll be hard to resist because
I'm a rank, but stay strong.

- Right you are.
- Otherwise, that's it.

Thank you, Sergeant.

- A pleasure.

- He's pretty relaxed.

- It's not his murder.

We'll need to talk to Ronnie's
brother, at his quarry.

- I'll take that one.

Did you already do
a schist rock joke?

- It's like you don't know me.

Tyrone, take a look over
Ronnie's house.

I'll go to his school. And,
Blair...

..you're not intimidating anyone
with your... 84%.

[door closes]

Walking the shop floor?

[she laughs]

- You know me,
I'm a woman of the people.

How you getting on?

- Yeah.
Retrieved the knife that killed
him.

One of the few things
that isn't in pieces.

- And does it give us anything?

- It's an outdoor survival
knife,

sold in only one place on Bute.

- Or it was bought online,
like everything else.

- Yeah.
- And how are you?

- Well, I feel a wee bit
out of the loop.

- I asked Annika to keep you
back.

- Oh, "skillset" was yours, was
it?

- You're welcome.

- She didn't give you up.

- That's because she's learning
how to lead a team.

You, especially.

- You know, my family
pretended to be disappointed

when I didn't get the job.

- But they were secretly
relieved?

- Took me out to dinner.

Never seen them in a better
mood.

- I bet.

Not gonna be easy for Annika.

- Yeah.

Noted.

- OK.

Good.

Well, thanks for the chat.

You did very well,
talking up to management.

Must have been intimidating.

- I'll add it to my skillset.

- See? You're a natural.

You'll get your shot, Michael.

- Just not now.
- Not now.

[Karina] How did he die?

- At present, the death is...

..unexplained.

Do you need a minute?

- I'm OK.

- How was he, as a teacher?

- Good. Well prepped.

Talented.

- When did you last see him?

- End of school on Friday.

I called him on Monday, then
again
this morning when he didn't
appear.

- And did you notice
any change of behaviour?

Was he worried about anything?

- Not that I can recall, no.

- Well, if you think of
anything later

that might be useful,

just give me a call.

- OK.

- Nice school you've got.
I imagine the students are
happy.

- Sorry?
- Any drug or alcohol problems?

- What do you mean?

- Doesn't matter.

Tomorrow, we're
releasing a statement

about Ronnie's death,

so you might wanna say something
in assembly.

Just an idea.

[school bell rings]

[male worker] Oi! Clear!

[explosion]

[she gasps]

My ear feels weird.

- You'll have burst an eardrum.
Bloody crazy. Who are you?

- Police. I need to ask you some
questions about your brother.

And if you could answer
a bit louder than normal,

that'd be great.

- Let me get you looked over
first.

I mean, I can see how it'd play
out.

I ask Morgan if a change of
school
would help settle her,

one that does kayaking and...

and the Nordic sagas.

And then, she asks if it's the
place
where the art teacher was
murdered.

It's a tough one to gloss over.

Looks like the head
was thinking the same thing,

or she was thinking where to get
a supply teacher at short
notice.

- Yeah, go on. Have a good day.

- This is me and Morgan, right
here.

Shameful late drop-off?

- She was seeing her therapist.

- Ten years at the school gates
and I'm yet to nail the mum
banter.

[phone rings]

DI Strandhed.

[DS Clarke] So, Ronnie's house
showed signs of a break-in.

Back door was forced.

- Yes, Blair's fine,
thanks for asking[!]

- I talked to Ronnie's
neighbour.

She reckons it was Grant who
broke
in, must've been on Friday
night.

- Did she see him do it?

- Well, no, but he's done it
before.

She's seen a lot of drunken
fights

spill out onto the street,
apparently.

- I am so sorry.

Really wanna rewind
this investigation.

- Hey, I feel getting blown up
is a Marine Homicide thing now.

We should get badges,
like the Girl Guides do.

- Where's Grant?

- He's the one who saved me
from much worse, actually.

Big slab of a man.

- Did you talk to him?
- No, I think he's in the
office.

Sure there's paperwork
cos of this.

- Hearty soup, that's what you
need.

- Thanks, Mum[!]

[Per Gunderson] You having tea?
Two teas, please.

- Hello.

I'm Morgan.

- Sigi?

Do you want cake?

Just the tea.

- So that's my name.

- Are you Scandinavian?

I noticed the scarf.

My mum made me learn those
letters
when I was, like, 5.

- My godmother made it.

Can I have a sip of your drink?

- I've got a cold sore.

- I'd still like some.

Have this.

It's cold out there.

- I slept at Ronnie's Friday
night.
Couldn't drive home.

Had a skinful.

- And why did you break in?

- Well, he wasn't there, was he?

Now we know why.

- Did you stay all night?

- Once I'm out, I'm spark out.

- It's not the first time

you've smashed the place up,
though, is it, Grant?

I've seen your PCs.

- Just... brother stuff.

- He was found with some stones
from your quarry.

- It's only rubble.

- Well, not to him. He carved
them.

- I don't know about that.

- Have a look.

These little figures.
What's that about?

- Maybe they're burial stones,
given he ended up in the Clyde.

What you doing about that?

- His body was
the first thing we retrieved.

- So I should bloody hope.
- And he was only there

because his boat exploded.

And then, one of our officers

got caught in another explosion,
at your quarry.

So you see why we're talking to
you,
don't you Grant?

- They're a bit small
for burial stones.

I'd say they're more like
Nordic love tokens.

What do you think?

- I don't think anything.

- Really?

It can't all have been arguing.
You must have talked to each
other.

- Not about stuff like that.

- Stuff like what?

Kind of naive, these carvings,

almost childlike.

- Ronnie had a thing for girls.

- At his school?

- He was seeing one who was 15.

Said society had
a cultural hang-up about it.

- Did you?
- What do you think?

It turns my stomach.

She called round mine,
looking for him yesterday.

I told her he died.

She got very upset.

- So it was serious?

- In his head, who knows?

But, yeah, definitely in hers.

- What was the girl's name?

Ready?

Race you to the top.

Hey... love you.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

- Nothing's beautiful.

What?! No, no, Sigi...

[Thud]

What do you do? Seriously.

I mean, on this spot, 900 years
ago,
a 15-year-old Viking

was considered an adult.

Fighting in battle, drinking
fermented mead, or whatever,

and getting dashed on the rocks.

And now look at us.

We've not moved on at all.

Hey!

Hey, hey. You OK?

- It's my fault. I just need
to meet someone and they die.

- She isn't dead, and this
hasn't
got anything to do with you.

How come you're out here?

[car door slams]

- I wanted a walk.

- Did you drink all of this?

- Not all of it.
- This was at the base of the
climb.

You OK, Morgan?

- I feel sick.

- Here, eat this.

That'll soak it up.

- Thanks.
- Where did you get that scarf?

- It's Sigi's. The girl who
fell.

Sigi?

- I met her at the cafe.
See? I'm cursed.

Do you need me to contact
anyone else?

Sigi's mother?

- No, her mother was
the other time I was here.

- Cancer ward, though.
- Oh.

I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

- What happened yesterday, Per?

- Well, she...

She asked to go for a climb.

We hadn't been getting on
lately,
so I was glad.

I like it when we
do things together.

- We found a carved stone

at the spot you climbed from.

Etchings engraved in it.

- That... art teacher.

Filling her head with...

Sigi said they were in love.

- When did you find out?

- Friday morning.

She left her phone on the table

and it buzzed
with a message from him.

I feel sick thinking about it.

- Why didn't you go to the
police?

- Cos I went to the school,

to get him fired.

I talked to the head.

She said she would talk to him,
to make him leave.

Talk to him. Should have gutted
him!

- Per, Ronnie Kidd is dead.

We found his body on his boat.

Friday night.

- Did you know anything about
that?

- No.
- You said you wanted to gut...

- I said, someone should!

Didn't say I did.

- It's OK, Per.
- No.

My daughter is in surgery.
He's saying I'm a murderer.

- I wouldn't blame you.

- Look, on Friday, I was at
home,

then at the school
and then back home.

- Sigi found out
he was dead yesterday.

- That is why she wanted to
fall.

[he speaks Norwegian]

[sighs] Sorry.

I got a rush of blood.

Did you get anything out of
that?

- I got that the headteacher's
been lying to us.

- What did he say at the end?

- "I am broken."

Poor girl.

- She was also being groomed
by Ronnie Kidd.

Which you knew about,
and didn't tell us.

- Her father made an allegation
on Friday.

So I called Ronnie in.

Told him he had to resign
or we'd take the matter further.

- He refused?

- He was even righteous about
it.

Said they were in love, stupid
man.

I had hoped that,
when he didn't turn up on
Monday,

he'd just left
to save the school the shame.

[she sighs]

Would you send your daughter
here,

if you knew that one of the
teachers
liked underage girls?

- Depends if the school
dealt with it properly.

- Well, someone dealt with it.

- Where were you on Friday
night?

- I was at home.

I went to bed early, with a
brandy,
after an awful day.

- And how was Sigi's father
when you saw him?

- He struggled to control his
temper, but why should he?

If someone had abused my
daughter...

[school bell rings]

I can come in.

- Look, you need rest, and...

..entirely unrelated,
Morgan needs a babysitter.

Have you had the fiskesuppe?
I left some out.

- Yep, all gone.
- Morgan eat it?

- Couldn't get enough of it.

- Hey, do you need me for this?

- Mm, we're starting, sorry.

- OK, so, on Friday, Per
Gunderson

finds out that his daughter's
being groomed by Ronnie Kidd.

He visits Karina, who tells
Ronnie
to resign, but he refuses.

The next time he's seen is
on his boat on the Clyde,

with rocks in his pockets
and a knife in his chest.

- It's a survival knife.

That place on Bute
hasn't sold any recently,

but you can get them anywhere.

Sometimes used by climbers.

- Sigi's, or her dad's,
probably.

- Could Sigi not have been
on the boat, too?

Then, maybe Dad turns up
and finds them there on the
Friday

and just snaps.

- Per used his bank card on the
high street at 6 that evening.

- So he didn't go straight home,
like he said?

- Right, but what about activity
on Grant's card?

I mean, the man breaks into
Ronnie's
house at three in the morning

and doesn't remember anything
else.

He could've killed Ronnie
on the boat,

set it drifting
and made it back by then.

- Yeah, I hear you, Tyrone...

- Well, who else here
blows things up?

- I... I think Grant's in play.
Just
bring Per in for me first, will
you?

Michael, can you try and inspire
the forensics team?

- Oh, is that cos you need
some specific evidence?

- Yeah. Blair...

I can see takeout boxes.

[Morgan] It's not funny.

Bad things happen to people I
like.

- No, they don't.

- I called Mum and her boat blew
up.

- The school called her.

- Because of me.

- I think you're stretching it.

- I met Sigi and she fell.

I talked to you on the ferry,
and you nearly blew up too.

- That's true.

It was fun and games
when it was other people,

but now it's me, I think
we should burn you at the stake.

- Blair!

- So... what's with the vodka?

- I sit next to a girl
with a nut allergy.

I heard it could disinfect the
mouth
in case I accidentally ate
something

and gave her anaphylaxis.

And... then I kind of liked
how it made me feel.

How do I delete a check-in?

I don't want people to know
I've been to that rock now.

- Give it over.

- Actually, that's a good point,
Little Miss Voodoo.

- Are you working now?

- Talk to your mum.

She's trying to mother you,
and because you don't let her,

she's mothering me.

And that's weird.

[seagulls cry]

If Per Gunderson
was in a Nordic saga...

..family honour would mean
he'd have to kill Ronnie.

And then all of Ronnie's
relatives,

and then relatives of relatives.

And then, burn down the school
and then the town.

Then he might have to kill
his daughter, too.

I mean, he hasn't gone that far.

I imagine he's feeling
some of the same things...

- Per Gunderson interview?

- Whoa! Hold up.

And you are?

- Liz Dunbar, his lawyer.

- Erm, and I am
a detective inspector

and you can't be in here.

- Then can you direct me
to the interview room, please?

- With pleasure.

Nice shoes.

I've already talked to you.
Why am I in an interview room?

- It's OK, Per. We're just...

We're just trying to clear this
whole thing up, for everyone's
sake.

[she speaks Norwegian]

- My client is understandably
upset,

but of course,
we are here to cooperate.

And it would be helpful
if we didn't speak in Norwegian.

- Well identified.

- As you know, we're
investigating
the murder of Ronnie Kidd,

who we believe was murdered on
his
boat, at some point on Friday
night.

- Well, that's an awfully
big window, don't you think?

- Which is why we're interested
in your movements that night.

- Well, give us an exact time
of the alleged offence

and we will give you an exact
alibi.

Until then,
I advise you not to comment.

- No comment.

[he sighs]

- As you told us yourself,
Ronnie
Kidd was grooming your daughter.

And there were a number of
stones
found around his body,

similar to the one found
next to your daughter

at the base of the climb.

- Look, what we're really
looking for here

is not a reminder of
a very traumatic incident,

but a direct question we can
answer,
or some actual evidence

that my client's involved
in Mr Kidd's death.

- We have a strong motive.

- Oh, well done[!]

Do you have the boat?

- Erm, yes, um...

The boat suffered... some
damage.

Erm... but we...

We have the body.

Erm, and the knife that killed
him.

- And?

- It's an outdoor knife,
a climber's knife.

And it's being examined for DNA.

- Have you ever been on
Ronnie Kidd's boat?

- No.

- You took some money out
on the high street

at 6.00pm that evening, didn't
you?

- I went to see Liz about
the situation at the school,

and then I went home.

- Well, I've certainly enjoyed
our chat about cash machines,

but in the meantime,
if you find some DNA on the boat

matching my client's, please
don't
hesitate to get in touch

and we can have
a proper conversation.

- But I feel like this is
a proper conversation, Liz.

- I'm glad you're getting
something from it,

but it is late and my client
needs
to get back to the hospital,

so if that's all...?

- Y... Yes, that's all.

Erm, thank you for coming.

- Thank you. Per?

[he sighs]

[door closes]

- If I get into trouble,
will you get her in for me?

- Likewise!

- I mean, she's right about the
DNA.

- Yeah.

[Annika's phone beeps]

Oh, it's Blair.

Fancy a drink?

So, according to her social
media,

Sigi checked in around 9.00pm
on Friday night, here.

- She wouldn't get served,
though, would she?

- You say that, Tyrone, but I've
discovered that kids are wily,

and very much have a Viking
attitude
as to when you're an adult.

- Got any mead?
- What?

- Never mind.
Do you remember seeing...

..this girl on Friday night?

- Mm, no. It was busy, though.

You can ask your man. He was
here.

- OK, one-nil to you.

What happened on Friday, Grant?

- I saw him pull up with Sigi
and I went out to him.

He said it was time for them
to stop hiding.

I told him beasts get arrested
and he should go home, on his
own.

- Did you get into a fight?

- He couldn't see it.
He couldn't understand it.

- Did you take the fight
back to his boat?

- No. I walked off.

Got a bottle from the offie,
drank it in the park.

The guy there, he'll remember
me.

He said he missed me cos...

..I'd been two weeks dry
up till then.

Too pished to go home, so...

- Why would Ronnie bring Sigi
here?

Was it his regular?

- No.

- Knew his audience?

- Yep.

Do you remember seeing her?

- Aye.

One of the teachers, she was sat
by
a bunch of them by the window.

[Annika] Obstruction. Erm,
perverting the course of
justice.

I'm just making a list
of current chargeable offences.

I can get into how much jail
time

each one brings, if you like.

- Or you could just start
telling us the truth.

- I saw Ronnie scuffling
with his brother outside,

so I went to talk to him.

And Sigi was there.

I was so bloody furious,
after that morning.

I was a bit drunk,

so I went out to tell him
how much damage he was doing.

- To you?
- Yes, to me.

To... To the school, to Sigi.

Look, I'm glad Ronnie's dead.

I hate to say it, but I am.

You do so much for those
children.

And there's so much expectation
and responsibility,

and it's hard to get right, and
then
a member of your own team...

I saw how it would've looked
if I screamed at him,

so I went home, like I told you.

- Did you go out again?

- No.

- Whose is that?

- It belongs to my wife, Liz.

- Looks like the runic alphabet
Sigi had on her scarf.

- Liz sometimes made scarves
for Sigi.

- Why?

- She's her godmother.

- Per's lawyer is Sigi's
godmother?

- Yeah.
- Where is she now?

- She's at the office.
She was called into work.

You're gonna see Liz,

just to confirm
that I was here on Friday night?

- She won't be able to,
will she, Karina?

Because she was out herself.

- She was working then, too,
I'm sure of it.

- You keep telling yourself
that.

She was too good at the
interview,
way too invested.

- So she was using it
to see how much we knew.

- Yeah, she couldn't cut it
short
fast enough,

as soon as we mentioned
we had the boat and knife.

- We haven't got anything
off either yet.

- There'll be something.

It wasn't a sniper shot
from a mile away.

She shoved that knife in,
it wasn't gentle.

That's why she needed
the boat to sink.

- I'll get Tam over here.
We should bring Karina in, too.

- Mm.

[car approaches]

[engine revs]

Liz!

Her phone is switched off
and I can't track her car,

'but there have been three calls
from her office

'in the last two hours. Stand
by.'

Tam's on his way to Liz's house.

He'll get DNA while he's there.

- You could probably get it from
the scarf Morgan's been wearing.

Liz made it.

- So, in addition to
the boat exploding,

you're daughter's been wearing
the suspect's clothes?

- Well, don't put it like that.

- OK, the calls from Liz's
office
were to a company called

A-Plus Travel Solutions.

'For anyone with the right
budget,

'they do logistics for
whatever trip you want.'

- Well, if she's running,
she's running properly.

- That's the thing
about Valkyries...

..they don't run.

'They fly.'

When a dispute arose
in first-century Bute,

the rights and wrongs of the
matter
were debated by lawyers...

- They had lawyers
in first-century Bute?

- They'd have dealt with
small matters,

like, you know, burning down a
hut

or stealing an elk, or
something.

But sometimes
it would be a blood feud.

And then, a lawyer might pick
who lived and who died.

Lawyers were the real Valkyries,

not the crazy ones with the
looms.

Although, as it happens,
this one did have a loom too.

[brakes screech]

- Blair, you still on the line?
- 'Aye.

'Been enjoying the stuff about
elks,
or whatever it was.'

- I need you to do something.

[tyres screech]

[car doors open]

Liz!

- I'm going.

- You...
You don't get to decide that.

- I have decided.

- Alright, but don't make
the pilot an accessory.

- He has deniability.

He's been paid and he doesn't
like chatting when he's flying.

- Well, I think he's clearly
missing out on a good story.

[engine starts]

I still don't think
you're making the right choice.

- There is the law,
and there is doing what is
right.

And I chose that.

- Yeah, that's the debate you
have
on day one of law school, Liz.

You're better than that.

- Look at what he did to Sigi.

What he did to Karina
and her school.

He had a chance to disappear,
and he didn't take it.

- That's the other mess.
Karina's
spent two days lying to the
police.

- Obstruction,
that's all you've got on her.

- Well, now she's...
lost her lawyer.

The boat didn't sink in time.

It's been unravelling since
then.

- Well, let justice be done,

though the world may perish.

- Don't.

- Seriously?

- What are you gonna do,
jump on the wing?

- It was weird
not putting the cuffs on.

Are you thinking about
that law quote she gave you?

- No, Casablanca.

I wanna say that thing
about being mates.

- "Beautiful friendship."
- That's the one.

[they laugh]

- Which one of us is Bogart?

- I'm Bogart. Of course I'm
Bogart.

What... What's the matter with
you?

Liz Dunbar was detained
as she landed in Ireland.

Annika sent a local officer
over there to process her.

The team will be back tomorrow.

- And was the retrieval
of the knife significant?

- Not at all.

- Maybe it'll have its moment
when it gets to court.

- It's fine, honestly.

- She missed you up there,
Michael.

- Huh.

I missed her too, actually.

Felt a bit weird not being on
the ground over there, you know?

- Well, I don't know

if she definitely missed you,
I haven't spoken to her yet.

- What?
- But she probably did.

- OK, I'm going back to my desk
now.
- Do you want me to tell her

- that you missed...
- No!

- Get her the evidence she
needs.

And get her some of those
horrible
sweeties that she likes.

[Morgan] Have you got any
whisky?

- For Sigi?

No, I think the chocolates
are better.

Do you mean for you?

Cos it... it doesn't fix things.

It just...
It pushes it down the track.

- Blair told me a baker
on the Titanic drank some

and it kept him alive
when the boat sank.

- Do you worry about sinking
boats?

- I worry about everything,
all the time.

- Would it be helpful
to talk to someone?

You know, to...

..work it through?

- I could talk to Sigi,
when she's better.

- I think she's got
enough on her plate.

- Blair?

- Erm...

..I was thinking of...

..a professional.

- Mm.

That would be good.

- OK, then.

I'll sort it out.

- And you owe me a scarf.

- Yeah, I'll knit you one.

- Yeah, cos you've got
so much free time!

- I can make time. I can work
a bit from home. I can...

order a loom.

- Please, don't order a loom.

Well done on the case.

You're a good mum.

- Thanks.

- I mean, she escaped on a
plane...

- She didn't escape.
- She flew off!

- I'm going to the vending
machine.

- She flew to a different
country!
