All language subtitles for Shetland - Season 1 Episode 1

Oh...

Who's there?

Is that you?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

OK, give me five minutes.

Have you got everything?

You got your gloves
and your homework and...

What do you think this
is? A fashion choice?

It was Norse
Mythology this week.

Right, don't be cheeky, you.

Don't pretend like you're organised.
We're 15 minutes late already.

Mima?

Mima?

Are you in, Mima?

- Morning.
- Morning, Billy. Morning, Craig. Anything?

Robert Eunson's in the cells.

Drunk in the Market Square at three
this morning singing King Of The Road.

You'd think he'd have
found another song by now.

You got any news from
the Up Helly Aa Committee?

Aye, it's just in.

Guizer Jarl thinks it'll be the
best festival we've ever had.

Oh!

I heard a rumour there's going to
be a Lady Gaga squad this year?

You know anything?

Well, you see, I do. But then, if I told
you about it, then I'd have to kill you.

It kicks off as usual at 9:45.

The Jarl Squad march along the
esplanade to the Ferry Terminal,

where the official
photographs will be taken.

Lights out at 1900. Set
fire to the galley at eight.

Then drink will be taken.

Hi, Duncan. You've
come to hand yourself in?

Or are you looking to sublet the
cells and rent them out to tourists?

That's not a bad idea.

No, I'm checking you still
need an engine for your boat.

I think I might have
found one for you.

And will there be a
finder's fee involved in this?

Of course. What am I, a charity?

Tea?

Excuse me.

Jimmy Perez.

It's Sandy... I'm at...
Croft... Bressay...

I'm sorry, Sandy, I
didnae quite catch that.

I said... Grandmother's croft.

I don't understand.
She's been shot.

She's dead.

OK, what I want you to do is I want
you to phone Billy on the landline

and give him all the details.

I'm going to get the inter-island ferry to
Bressay and I'll be there in 20 minutes, OK?

OK.

Are there any signs of
a break-in at the croft?

There is some broken glass.

Do you know if the
neighbours heard anything?

I called my cousin Ronald.
His croft's just up the road.

He passed by late last
night, but didn't hear a thing.

Neither did Auntie Jackie
and she's just over the ridge.

Could it have been an
accident, do you think?

A shotgun blast up close? No.

- Did Mima own a gun?
- She keeps it in the hall cupboard.

What's the signal like up here?

Comes and goes. You'll
need to go up the hill.

OK. This is what
I want you to do.

I want you to phone
the hospital in Lerwick.

Use the landline. But try
not to contaminate anything.

And get them to send
an ambulance over here.

After that, I want you
to tape off this area,

set up a common approach path

and put up a windshield.

Do you think you
can handle that?

Yeah.

Can I cover her up?

No, I'm sorry.

We need photographs.

I know you were close, but
we multi-function here, Sandy.

There's nobody
coming over the horizon.

Can somebody please answer that?

Oh!

Sorry, sorry, it's mine.

Shite!

Inspector!

- Did I wake you?
- No, sir. I've been up for ages.

Look, I could lose my
signal at any moment.

I want you to get on the ferry to Mima Wilson's
croft on Bressay and bring your camera.

We got a suspicious death.

You got that?

Hello?

Gun hasn't been fired for years.

- Did Mima own this place?
- Yeah.

- Does cousin Ronald have a claim?
- No.

He's related on
my mother's side.

- Ah, so it'll come to your dad?
- Yeah.

- And where is he now?
- At home.

I told him not to come down.

It did not feel right breaking
the news like that on the mobile,

but I was worried
about contamination.

No, no, you did the right thing.

- Can you tell if anything's missing?
- I don't think so.

But Mima's phone was
unplugged. I put it back in.

Why Mima?

She didn't have
anything to steal.

She always lived alone.

My granddad died young.

What's the story with the dig?

Archaeological team from Aberdeen
Uni, led by a Professor Paul Berglund.

Right, take as many as you can,

the body, the surrounding
area, and inside the croft,

and then e-mail
them to Inverness.

- Do you think you can manage that?
- Of course.

Are you sure? Cos your eyes
look like pissholes in the snow.

Sorry. Late night. I
thought I was off-duty.

We're never off-duty here.
Have you still not got that yet?

Is this your first?

Don't worry. It happens.

It's not that.

It's the Dutch chocolate
vodka from last night.

OK, fill me in on cousin
Ronald. I've not met him.

His mother and my
mother were cousins.

His dad passed away a few years
ago and left him this bit of land,

so him and Anna
could set up home.

Now, he's taken his place
on his family's pelagic trawler.

Is that The Cassandra?

Yeah. She's a beauty.

State of the art.

Not like my old man's tug boat.

I hear the Haldanes are
worth a fortune. Is that right?

They've got part of the
fishing quota. They do OK.

Does that cause any
problems between the families?

- No.
- No?

I'm sorry for your loss.

You must be stunned.

But I'm going to have to
ask you a few questions.

You passed by
the croft last night?

Aye.

I was just on my way home.

He was drinking over in
Lerwick, like he does every night.

I'm no' long back from sea. I don't know
what to do with myself. Get off my back!

- For goodness' sake!
- All right?

These days, the deep-sea ships
only do two or three long trips a year.

Ronald can explain.

I'd been over at
the main island.

I got the last ferry back and I
had a wee nightcap at the ceilidh.

What about you, Anna,
did you see anybody about?

The baby was sleeping.

I took the opportunity
to join him.

Jackie, Ronald's mum was here.

That was earlier.

How long did Jackie stay?

Half an hour.

She wanted to tell us about a
piece of bone she found at the dig.

She was actually quite excited.

- Is that the dig at Mima's?
- Mm.

OK.

I know. It was six.

I got him down to four.

Why do men like so many
things that are bad for them?

Right.

If you think of anything
else, just call the station.

Right.

Has the gun been fired recently?

Aye, I went out shooting
rabbits after I got home.

Do you often go out
lamping with a drink in you?

I didn't go anywhere
near Mima's croft.

I'll need to take the gun.

Now.

If you don't mind.

So how did Ronald and Anna meet?

She came to Shetland on holiday.

I have a feeling it was the
place she fell in love with.

I'm going to need a word with your
dad, in case he spoke to Mima last night.

Hattie.

- What's going on, where's Mima?
- Hattie! Hattie!

Mima's dead.

I'm sorry.

Oh, God!

Oh, God.

I know.

Hattie, you know she
was wearing your coat?

Did you give it to her?

Yes.

The other day.

It was pouring down.

Mima always liked that jacket.

I said she could keep it.

And that was the
last time you saw her?

No.

No, I was with her last night.

What time?

I left the ceilidh about nine.

I stopped in and had
a quick drink with her.

Did she seem like
her normal self to you?

There was one thing.

Mima was a bit
funny at the dig earlier.

Sophie and I were working
in the trench with Jackie,

she'd volunteered to help.

Jackie Haldane, is
that Ronald's mother?

That's right.

Mima turned up with some tea
just as Jackie found a piece of bone.

I was hoping it was a fragment
of pottery, but it was a pars orbital.

A human skull.

Mima seemed upset
when she saw it.

D'you know why?

Maybe she didn't like the idea
of living so close to the dead.

Dad!

I spoke to him
just this morning.

I hope he's not gone and
done something stupid.

Can I help you?

I'm sorry for your loss, Joseph.

It's a hell of a thing to
lose your mother like that.

She wasn't an easy woman.

She could start an
argument in an empty room.

But she was my mother.

She did not deserve
to die like that.

No.

Can you shed any
light on what happened?

Did you hear a gunshot?

No.

I wasn't sure if you
were in. I called by.

Yes...

That's right. I was
over in Lerwick...

..picking up some new nets.

I missed the last ferry, slept in
my car and waited for the early one.

Sandy, you've got
some leave due.

I want you to
stay with your dad.

Cos he needs you.

- I want to help.
- Well, you can.

Get him to check that nothing
was taken from the croft,

cos we need to be sure.

I'm capable of more than
that if you'll give me a chance.

I know you are,
but it's difficult.

You can't investigate
your own family.

Jackie Haldane? Ronald
Haldane's your son?

Jimmy, isn't it?

I knew your mother
when she was a girl.

Come in.

How's she doing these days?

Ah, much the same. Still
keeping my old man on his toes.

This is my father...

Andrew.

Mr Haldane.

Just wetting the baby's head.

Better late than never.

Have you any news yet?

Er... No, not yet.

First, we have to eliminate
family members from our inquiries.

Now, just so that
I understand this,

you and Joseph's late wife
were cousins, am I right?

Aye, but we're all connected in one
way or another on Shetland, aren't we?

One big happy family.

Since all these incomers
came to work at Sullom Voe,

you wouldn't know who's on
the islands, it's not safe any more.

Don't forget your pills, Dad.

- I took them already.
- That was yesterday.

Nobody wants to think that a
Shetlander did this, Mr Haldane,

but the fact is, nine times out
of ten, victims know their killers.

Jackie, you were at
Anna and Ronald's house -

did you notice any
strangers on your way home?

Oh, I didn't, sorry.

I was in after that.

My father can't be left
alone for any length of time.

Hattie said that
Mima was a bit...

..put out when
you found the skull.

It was nothing.

She was quite
possessive of Hattie.

She got a bit hacked off
when I volunteered to help.

That was all.

What's going to
happen to the dig now?

It looks like Joseph is
going to close it down.

And put the place
up for sale, no doubt.

He's been trying to get
Mima to sell for years.

Duncan Hunter wants to build
holiday cottages on the land.

But she'd never agree.

- Tell your mother I said hello.
- I will.

- She's over on Fair Isle now, isn't she?
- That's right.

- Jackie!
- I'm sorry, excuse me.

Thanks.

I want you to check the
CCTV as soon as you can.

I want to know that Joseph was where
he said he was the night Mima died.

It's a bit weird.

Champagne with Mima hardly cold?

Aye.

This from the woman that thinks
Dutch chocolate vodka's a dessert.

Mum was right, cooking's all
about timing, and you don't have any.

It'll be ready in two minutes.

It's only pasta, the place
looks like a bomb's hit it.

One minute.

I don't know why you
don't just let me cook.

Cos I like cooking.

Well, that may be,
but you're rubbish at it.

- Pasta should be served al dente.
- Oh, is that right?

Well, you can have
yours al fresco, if you like.

Can I go over to
Maureen's after?

Erm... No.

Why?

Cos it's late,
it's getting dark.

And there's a
killer on the loose?

Cassie, that's not funny.

In fact, until this Mima
Wilson business is over,

I don't want you going
anywhere on your own.

What's this about you trying to buy
Mima Wilson's place on Bressay?

Oh, I made an offer.

150,000 for the croft
and the surrounding land.

For more holiday lets?

Christ, Duncan, you're turning into
Shetland's answer to Donald Trump.

Hardly.

Anyway, no joy.

Joseph wanted the deal to go through,
but unfortunately, it's not his land.

It is now.

No idea what happened yet?

No.

I could do without Up Helly Aa.

I need my people on this case.
I've not got the resources to do both.

You know most people think
Ronald Haldane got drunk

and shot Mima by accident?

Ah, well, thinking's
fine. I have to be sure.

- Looks like hard work.
- It was.

We're not sure yet if Mima's family
will let us continue digging here.

Can I ask about the brace?

It's just you don't really
look like a detective.

And you don't look
like an archaeologist.

She isn't... She's a student.

Don't let the brace fool you. They
fast-track the brainy ones like me.

Is there anything missing?

Only tales from other
people about my father.

Mima never...

Never talked about him.

He worked on the
Shetland Bus during the war.

Is that right?

Local boats were used to
transport saboteurs into Norway

under the noses of the Germans.

Across the North Sea
in the dead of winter.

Aye, brave men.

Which one is your dad?

The one on the
left. Jerry Wilson.

You know this skull they found?

Apparently, it seemed to bring back
the past for Mima in some way or another.

Any idea why that might be?

No.

No?

Is this where you
found the skull?

Just over there.

We were hoping we
could date it 15th century.

That would fit with
Professor Berglund's theory.

We've already found
silver coins from that period.

Hopefully, you can start
work again before long.

No. No more digging.

This is sacred ground now.

What? Because of the skull? That
could have been there for centuries.

No matter. No more digging.

Whoever was buried
here will rest in peace.

Losing your temper
isn't going to help.

No love lost there.

Hi, Tosh. You recovered?

You were giving it
laldy the other night.

DC Macintosh, if
you don't mind, Drew.

It's not like it's your
business any more, is it?

All right. Aye, fair enough.

Do you have a Paul
Berglund staying?

The Professor who's running
the dig at Mima Wilson's?

You just missed him. He was
going to catch the mainland ferry.

He said he'd be
back in a day or so.

- University business, I think.
- Can you describe him for me?

Scandinavian-looking.
Wearing a Gore-Tex waterproof.

Thanks. That really
narrows it down.

Berglund was on
the ferry that just left.

OK, get McCabe to radio Aberdeen,
I want him back on the next one.

And the harbour master doesn't remember
seeing Joseph get on the Bressay ferry.

OK, we're going to have
to go through the CCTV,

cos I need to know if
he was in Lerwick or not.

List of people with a
licence to hold a shotgun.

The Haldanes are on
it -Andrew and Ronald.

Joseph Wilson. Sandy.

Half the islands.

And the other half are phoning
me wanting to know what happened.

Vicky at the museum is still trying
to carbon-date the skull fragment.

Hattie James's alibi checks out.

The couple she spoke to
came in and gave a statement.

OK.

Inspector?

Sandy?

I thought you
were at your dad's.

He wants to know when my granny's
body can be released for the funeral.

Well, tell him he's going to
have to wait for the PM report.

I did. But he's
taking it really bad.

I think having the
funeral might help.

Well, my hands are tied.

You know, when I was at your Aunt
Jackie's, they were all drinking champagne.

Well, Jackie's partial to that.

I don't think looking
after old Andrew is easy.

But, like you said, there's no
tension between the families, is there?

You know, if you're trying to
protect somebody, Sandy, don't.

She's my grandmother. You think I
don't want to know who killed her?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'll never make detective
at this rate, will I?

This is Mima Wilson's
croft on Bressay.

This is Ronald's house...

Jackie's...

..and Joseph's.

Two families - the
Wilsons and the Haldanes.

Related. Living on top of
one other for generations.

One of them wealthy,
one of them not.

Now, I can't believe that that
hasn't created any tension,

despite what Sandy says.

It's ten minutes from here on the
ferry, but it can feel pretty isolated.

Aye, and plenty of
time to nurse your wrath.

Why are you still
wearing that thing?

Because you think there's a chance that
you and Drew will get back together again?

Don't be daft!

I just don't want
Scottish teeth.

I want nice American teeth.

How are you getting on tracking
down Joseph's movements?

McCabe's trawling the
CCTV tapes as we speak.

There he is.

Are you Professor Paul Berglund?

I'm DI Perez. You're a
hard man to track down.

I was just on my way to see you.

I was talking to Hattie.

She said that Mima was troubled
by the discovery of the human skull.

Did she say anything
to you about it?

Hattie tends to blow
things out of proportion.

- She's an emotional girl.
- You know her well, then?

No. I've just gleaned the
fact that she's quite neurotic.

After Mima was found dead,
you took a ferry to the mainland.

- What was the big rush?
- He said, threateningly.

Funding meeting.
Had to be there.

- And you can corroborate that?
- Of course!

Sorry, am I a suspect?

Well, according to Hattie, this
dig was quite important to you.

Mima could have closed it down.

Like I said, Hattie exaggerates.

I didn't get that impression.

It seems we've taken an
instant dislike to each other.

That's unfortunate.

Not for me.

I'd really appreciate it if
you'd let me know in advance

the next time you
plan to leave Shetland.

Let's go.

Hey! Get off, get off...!

Tosh.

He was found by the road,
unconscious. Nothing on CCTV.

- Blind spot.
- OK.

You must have some
idea who did this to you.

It was dark and I was...

Well, I'd had a few.

- They didn't rob you, then?
- I don't think so, no.

Do you think it might have
something to do with Mima?

No.

No. Nothing.

- How can you be so sure?
- Why would it?

Because people blame you.

Mum!

Look, I told you
not to come. I'm fine.

Who did this?

My boy wouldn't hurt anyone,
let alone his own family.

Make sure people
understand that, please.

Come on, let's go. I need to get
back. Your granddad's on his own.

You should be asking
yourself who inherits the land.

Meaning?

Well, it's not us, is it?

I was rubbish at history.

I mean, King James VI and King
James I were the same person?

That's just confusing.

Having said that, Rocky II
and Rocky IV are the same film.

Uh-huh.

Jimmy Perez?

Hi, Vicky, thanks for seeing us.

- You interested in the Shetland Bus?
- Mm-hm.

That's ironic.

You weren't when
you were at school.

I was his teacher.

- Is that a young Mima Wilson?
- It is indeed.

And that's Mima's
husband, Jerry Wilson?

With Andrew Haldane.

Best young sailors
of their generation.

Oh, so Mima's husband and
Jackie's father worked together?

Alongside Norwegian sailors.

Between 1940 and '45,

they took spies, supplies,

and large sums of
money across to Norway.

Sometimes they'd
bring back refugees.

To take the Shetland Bus became
a synonym for escaping the Nazis.

I should have paid
more attention in class.

No comment.

Anyway, not all
our lads survived.

Some were betrayed
by a double agent.

Jerry Wilson and Andrew
Haldane were lucky.

People say the Shetlanders
discovered the double agent

and meted out their
own brutal form of justice.

Have you had any results
back on that skull yet?

Not yet, but the coins they found
returned dates between 1465 and 1510.

The skull will
probably be the same.

Yeah, I'd need to
know for certain.

Tosh, will you
wait here a minute?

You not cold out here?

I miss her.

I could tell her anything.

Nothing seemed to shock her.

What's that?

It's Freya, the goddess of love.

She soared through the heavens
in a cloak made of hawks' wings.

She's supposed
to protect lovers.

I take it the man that caused
you all the trouble gave you that?

No.

It was Mima.

- Who gave it to her?
- I didn't ask.

I presumed it was her husband.

She was right, though.

We don't need men
these days, anyway.

You know, the
man that hurt you...

..it just means he's
not the right one.

Are you sure you're a policeman?

I can still roll over the
bonnet of a car if I need to.

I take it you met
the right person?

You telling me
she's never hurt you?

Not deliberately.

Anyway...

Come on, you'll catch
your death out here.

We're going over to
Bressay to see Joseph.

I'll drop you at
the Bod, if you like.

I heard about Ronald. How is he?

He'll be all right.

He never saw who attacked him,

so there's not really
much I can do about it.

I don't want to have to ask you
this, but where were you last night?

- He was here, with me.
- Yeah?

If you're thinking it was me who
had a go at Ronald, think again.

Cos if it had been me, he would
not be getting out of hospital.

Now, look.

I know folk are saying that Ronald
accidentally shot your mother,

but it might not be the case, so I
want you to ignore those rumours, OK?

Mmm...

They don't remember you getting
the Bressay ferry the night Mima died.

Do you have the ticket?

I threw it away.

Someone must have seen you.

You were telling me
about the Shetland Bus.

You never mentioned that Ronald's
grandfather and your father sailed together.

Were your father and
Mima married then?

Childhood sweethearts.

Cos they say that there was a Norwegian
who was killed on the island, a traitor.

Did Mima ever mention
anything about that?

Like I said, she never spoke
much about those years.

Because there's a photograph of Mima with
some young Norwegian lad at the museum.

And I just wondered that...

maybe that's why she
was upset about the skull.

Cos maybe she thought it
was somebody she knew.

And if that was the case...

..then she'd be even more
loath to sell up, wouldn't she?

Who said anything
about selling up?

Did your dad not tell you that
Mima had an offer for the land?

Mima never would
have sold her place.

We know that Mima Wilson
was killed around 11pm.

And we know that the killer
wanted to make it look like a burglary.

Hattie James was the last
person to see Mima alive.

Paul Berglund had
a lot riding on the dig.

He stood to get major
funding if they got results.

So is it possible that Mima
was going to shut them down

after they discovered the skull?

Or that she was
going to sell the land?

Is that a strong enough
motive to kill her?

Well, I don't know.

Ronald Haldane.

He could have shot Mima,
either deliberately or accidentally.

But if he did it
deliberately, then, why?

He wouldn't gain from her death.

If he did it by accident, he could have panicked
and tried to make it look like a burglary.

Yeah, you see, that's possible.

Is your dog a member of the
Magic Circle, by any chance?

He's very good at making
those biscuits disappear.

OK. I'll buy some more.

- Are we done with the dog and the biscuits?
- Sure.

Joseph. Duncan
wanted to buy the croft.

Joseph wanted Mima to sell it.

And she wouldn't.

Now, we still can't verify his
movements on the night that she died.

So the question that we
have to ask ourselves is this -

did Sandy's dad kill his
own mother for the croft?

Hattie, where are you going?

Can't sleep?

I can.

Yeah. I'll be up in a minute.

No, you won't. I
know you don't sleep.

Not since Mum died.

I hear you're going
out to work on the boat.

Oh, you know. You need
less sleep as you get older.

But you're not old.

Want to see what the boat's
going to look like again?

See...

your mum wanted the
hull to be bright blue,

so that it would cheer
people up as it went by.

Sometimes, I get angry
at her for leaving us.

I know that doesn't make sense.

It wasn't her fault that
she got ill, but... I do.

Do you know what,
kiddo? So do I.

But she left me you.

And without you, I don't
know what the point would be.

OK, bed! Now!

OK.

- Night.
- Night.

Jimmy Perez.

- Hi, it's Hattie James. I need to speak to you.
- Hattie?

Hang on... My signal's going.

Shit.

- Hattie?
- Hi, it's Hattie.

Please leave a message
and I'll get back to you.

You got a signal yet?

No.

Hattie?

Someone as untidy as me.

Didn't think they existed.

- What are you doing here?
- We're looking for Hattie.

I haven't seen
her since last night.

She's been weird
since Mima was killed.

Do you have a
number for her parents?

Her mum's name's Gwen, lives
in Glasgow. That's all I know.

We don't really go in
for girlie heart-to-hearts.

Well, do you know where
she might have gone?

What? You don't know?
You don't care? I can't tell.

Mima's death has affected
us all, it's not just Hattie.

I'm getting the first
ferry back to civilisation.

No, you're not.
Not unless I say so.

Call the police station at
Lerwick as soon as she gets back.

Hattie, it's Jimmy Perez.

We've just been
up at the Bod and...

- Give us a pound, quick.
- I've only got a £2 coin.

- That's a total waste...
- Just give us it!

Yeah, if you pick this up,
could you give us a call?

We just want to know where
you are and that you're OK.

What is the matter with you?

Billy.

Has Hattie James been in
contact or left any messages?

No.

OK.

OK, listen, we may
have a missing person.

Inform the Coastguard Section Manager and
radio the station at Brae and let Willie know.

I want us to check the CCTV.

Cos I don't want to call
out Search And Rescue

if Hattie's sitting in a pub in
Lerwick crying into her beer.

And tell Sandy his leave's over.

Cos if I've got to put a search
party together, I'm going to need him.

Oh, and get me the number
for Hattie's mother, it's Gwen.

- Hello.
- Gwen James?

Sorry, who's this?

This is Detective Perez, from
the Shetland Constabulary.

There's no cause for
concern, Mrs James,

I just wondered if you'd heard
from your daughter Hattie recently?

Is everything all right?

She's not in any
trouble, is she?

No, no.

Is she...

Is she likely to hide herself away
if she's upset about something?

Why?

Don't worry, Mrs James.

If she does get in contact with
you, can you please let me know?

Aye.

Right, Tosh, you and me.

- There you are!
- Yeah.

I want you to check the shore road and the
pubs around the harbour for Hattie James,

and can you do it now, please?

You check the house. I'll head
up to the dig and see if she's there.

Hattie? Hattie?

Hello? Hattie?

It's Gwen... Mum...
Been... trying to... get you.

Hello? Hattie, I can't hear you.

Have you... yet?

Oh, good God!

Inspector?

Can you hear...? Oh!

Hello? Can you hear me?

Hello? Can you hear me?

Inspector?

Are you there?

Hello?
