Original subtitles

SCREAMING 'Catriona and Adam Grant,

'abducted at gun point in 1984.

'Kevin Campbell, Andy Kerr, Mick Prentice are our three suspects.'

This is who we need to find.

'We've found a body. It's Kevin Campbell.'

There was some material found in Kevin's pockets.

A passport. The name inside...

it's not Kevin Campbell. So, it's a counterfeit?

Mick and Andy could be using new identities now.

The kidnapping... With Adam in the car?

That wasn't part of the plan! I didn't know he was gonna bring it.

She was in on it. Cat shot Kevin...

What do you think happened to Cat and Adam?

Well, they're dead.

Cavalaire-sur-Mer, south of France, November '84.

That could be Mick Prentice, right?

Catriona Grant collaborated with her kidnappers?

To punish our family.

What are they doing?

I think they were moving east towards Italy.

This place is significant. Something happened here.

It's Cat's body. Catriona's dead.

Daniel Porteus, he had a son. Gabriel. Born in '82.

'That would make him 42 now.'

Gabriel! Christ!

He wanted your phone, laptop, hard drives.

Who did he work for?

Mr Sinclair. Fergus?

Mr Grant, he's protecting that boy. And I have no idea why.

Where's the gun, Mick? It's gone.

I got rid of it. What?

What if they find it? What if they find her?

Drive! What we gonna do?

SHOUTING: Just stop talking and drive!

MICK YELLS

It must have been hard... telling them.

Yeah. They're heartbroken.

Has Sir Broderick changed his mind about the investigation?

No. He's too proud for that.

He does have questions, though.

Questions that I can't answer yet. About how she died?

Now, one thing I do know...

...is that Adam wasn't with her in there.

So, he could still be alive.

And Murray's match for him could be right.

He could be out there, somewhere.

You look like you haven't slept. Yeah, phones have been ringing.

Casinos in the north of Italy. Turns out Matthias Johnson...

That's Andy Kerr's new ID? Yeah.

He's been barred from at least five in Genoa.

You think that's where he lives?

And we might have an address, but there's no answer when we call.

Right.

You get on a plane to Italy, then. Today. You can nap on the flight.

Can I take Isla?

No. No, not like that, just, you know,

she's been working really hard, so I think she deserves a bit of...

It's not a holiday, Jason. I need you to catch a criminal!

OK.

But can I? Yes, take Isla.

OK, I'm going, I'm going.

There was damage to her ribs here.

Lead pellets, used cartridges and gunpowder residue

all found amongst the stone.

So she was shot.

She didn't die in the rock fall. No.

I think bad weather must've destabilised the cave,

and if it was already fragile,

then a couple of rounds from a powerful weapon

might've helped it along.

So, that's definitive, then.

Cat was murdered.

How can that be if she was in on it?

Do you think we were wrong?

Maybe Mick and Andy turned on her. Ah.

There were bullet fragments found at the scene

that match gun 49 - Kevin's weapon.

But the fatal wound indicates a shotgun.

So there were two guns at the scene?

Either they had another weapon we didn't know about, or...

...someone else was involved.

Well, this type's usually used for hunting. Clay pigeons, all that.

So someone moneyed? Maybe with a gun licence.

Does it for sport.

Is there anyone who matches that brief?

Yeah. There is.

Mr Sinclair...

why did you pay Cameron Murdoch to break into DI Pirie's apartment?

As you know, we did a search of your property and your office.

We managed to recover the stolen laptop.

What were you hoping to achieve?

I assume you're not gonna answer any of our questions.

Where was she?

Catriona.

Where did you find her?

I don't need to tell you that, because you already know.

I don't. I really don't.

Look, we know you're hiding something.

What could you possibly want with my laptop

if it wasn't to find out what I know?

Only a guilty man would take that risk to protect himself.

What happened, Fergus?

All those years ago?

The forensic report came back on her body.

Lead pellets and gunpowder residue were found in with her remains.

We think she was killed with a shotgun.

Your family have a hunting lodge up in the Highlands, don't they?

So you know how to handle a gun like that, don't you?

Don't you?

Was it always part of the plan, Fergus...

...to kill Catriona?

No.

There was no plan.

Nothing that I knew about.

Was it an accident, then? No, I mean...

EXHALES SHORTLY ..how would I know?

You know...

...there's this theory that I've been working with,

that Catriona was in on her own kidnap.

It's a good theory - certainly chimed with Sir Broderick.

But it has its problems.

Because the kidnappers, they left the country with money.

A lot of money.

Who paid them?

Catriona died, and they were rewarded.

But who could have benefitted from that... except you?

Who could have afforded that... except you?

And now you've proved yourself to be involved by meddling in the case.

Was...

Was Adam with her... when she was found?

No.

No remains?

No.

So, where does he fit in... to this supposed plan of mine?

Where is he?

Well, we were hoping you could tell us that.

CHUCKLING: You think I killed him, too?

I have nothing to do with this.

Look, Mr Sinclair, I've got enough to charge you.

We can see how this plays out in court.

You know, a jury, they know it's usually the boyfriend or the ex.

Maybe this time it was both.

Shite.

Shite.

Hey. Shite!

Shite, shite, shite... It's OK. It's OK.

We arrested him too early. We haven't got enough.

He stole evidence, that's enough. None of it makes sense.

Was I wrong about Cat being in on it?

It's our first interview. We can go back in there.

With what?

We need to apply pressure. We need to catch him out.

You were watching him in there.

What made him flinch? What made him react?

Adam.

Right...

No, but he always brushes it off, says he doesn't care.

No, no, no, he cares. He brought him up.

OK.

Well, then, we try something else. What were you thinking?

It's risky. I wouldn't expect anything else.

LAWYER: If you don't want to say anything, don't.

They can't hold you longer than 24 hours.

OK. WHISPERING: Just sit it out.

And this is...? Gabriel Porteous.

Born 1982. He'll be 42 now.

And you think...? HE EXHALES SOFTLY

We have reason to believe that Gabriel...

...is Adam Grant.

So...

...this is him?

We're pretty sure.

HE EXHALES

Where is he now?

Does he know about his mother?

He's currently wanted by the police. For what?

He rescues people from drowning in the Mediterranean.

What do you mean? Migrants. Refugees.

So he's wanted for...? ..assisting criminal activity.

A lot of the migrants are brought by human trafficking groups.

By helping them, he's implicated.

But he says he's an activist... saving innocent lives.

I know you compartmentalise...

...you put it away somewhere in your mind, don't you?

He grew up without knowing his parents... his grandparents.

Without knowing who he really is.

Fergus, if you go down for Catriona's murder...

he'll never know you.

And you will never get to fix your mistakes from the past,

just like you said you wanted to.

SOFTLY: I-I didn't kill her.

And I don't know who did.

But you're hiding something.

Something that could help us. What is it, Fergus?

FERGUS CLEARS THROAT I need to talk to my lawyer. Alone.

Come on, Karen. Come on, come on...

Are you trying to channel her? You need me to get a medium?

We're missing something... right at the heart of all this.

OK. What did she want?

She hated Fergus. Her dad chose him over her.

Kept him on at the company, even after he broke her heart.

Fergus didn't care about her either.

He cared about himself.

He cared about his wife, his job...

...and Brodie.

PHONE RINGS Parhatka.

Thank you.

He's ready to talk.

You have something you'd like to share?

I need you to know that I had no part in Catriona's death.

October 12th, 1984. I believe that's when it must've happened.

I was in the hospital with my wife. She was pregnant.

HE INHALES DEEPLY

Something showed up on one of the scans.

They had to do some tests.

The way that night ended was... awful.

We lost our baby.

So there'll be records, there'll be people you can talk to.

Queen Margaret's, Dunfermline. That's where I was.

I'm sorry.

It was a long time ago.

And you think Cat died that same night?

At dawn, the next morning.

How do you know that?

Because the third letter was sent to me.

'That's when I...

'started to wonder whether Catriona was involved in all of this.'

'You will bring the two holdalls to East Rotheswell Head

'at 5am tomorrow morning.

'You will not bring police.

'If you notify the police about this letter,

'you will never see your daughter or your grandson again.'

Why would they send it to me?

N-Nobody knows who I am to her or Adam...

Unless she's told them.

FERGUS SIGHS

Did you sort the cash? Yes, sir.

It's down as a few different charity donations.

Nobody even batted an eye at the bank.

And not a word of this to anyone, OK?

No-one at work, not your wife, not Mary.

Are you going to do it?

You're going to meet with them?

Have you told the police? No, you've seen the letter.

Y-You have to. I can't.

It's not safe. It's Catriona, Fergus.

She's behind it.

I don't understand. She's punishing us.

That's why the letter came to you.

She's done this... to herself?

I'll only know for sure when I get down there.

And you're gonna hand over the money?

I don't care about the money.

She can have the money. I just want Adam home.

And what about Cat?

I don't think I know who she is any more.

Did Brodie tell you what happened at the handover?

He told me that he tried to reason with her,

but that she wouldn't listen.

That she just took the money and ran.

What about Adam?

He wasn't there. She didn't bring him.

So, all of these years,

you've thought that Cat and Adam were out there somewhere.

I thought that Adam had his mother.

'I thought Cat had money and a new life.'

I didn't think...

...that she was dead.

What do you think happened?

You'll have to ask Brodie that question.

Why are you only telling us this now, for the first time...

...after all these years?

Because I am not going down for something that I did not do.

And because my son...

My son... grew up without either of his parents.

And he shouldn't have had to.

You bastard! You lying sack of shite!

'Listen to me!'

Since when do you care about Adam?

He won't remember any of this, will he?

He won't remember her.

For God's sake, Andy.

I mean it as a good thing - you can't miss what you don't know.

Do you think I need this right now?

We need to keep moving forward.

We should talk about what happened. No.

We should talk about our new car, new clothes, new digs.

And the kid?

The kid's my problem now.

Yeah?

You let me... worry about him.

No, that's not it.

Why? Why, why, why? You did book rooms, right?

Cos they're saying there's no record.

Yeah, I'm trying to find the email, but my inbox is chaos.

Did you do it on your work email or your personal?

Work, I think, but I keep getting locked out.

"Locked out"?

Yeah, it says I've signed in somewhere else, but I haven't.

Can you do your, erm, e-crime thing?

You say that like I worked in IT. I'm not just here to fix your sh...

Ah, this must be the guy.

Detective Barbieri?

You must be Detective Murray. Yeah.

And Detective Stark. Yes, hello.

Sounds like a... a double act, like Starsky and Hutch.

JASON CHUCKLES

Benvenuto in Italia. Thank you, yeah. Grazie.

I went to the address you gave me. Matthias Johnson was not there.

But his wife was. Giulia Johnson.

She was reluctant to speak to me, so I sat down,

and I reassured her that he's not a suspect, but a witness.

Which is a lie. Yeah. It worked.

San "Michelle"? San Michele. It's a hospital.

He's been receiving treatment on a cancer ward.

How sick is he? Can we go see him? Is that not kinda messed up?

He's a potential murderer, Mint. Yeah, I know...

Look, the hospital, they're gonna be difficult.

He's a sick man. But we have to talk to him.

So, extradite him.

No, that'll take weeks, maybe months.

We need to see him. Can you get us in there?

A little chat here, a little persuasion there, I can do anything.

Yeah, we just need to frame it right.

You know, we go in gentle, say we're just gathering information.

Exactly. Fine, but then we need answers.

We need to know if he knew Catriona Grant was dead, and...

...ask him if he killed her.

Right.

Yeah, I can, I can do that. I'll just build up to it.

I can lead it, yeah, no problem. Yes, big Scottish man.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us today, Matthias.

Only to let you know you've got the wrong man.

Whatever it is you're chasing...

...you shouldn't have come here.

Well, if that's true, you won't mind answering a few questions.

When did you first come over here?

Er, mid-'80s. On holiday.

Met my wife, Giulia.

Didn't get on the flight back. Right.

Who were you on holiday with? My pals.

Daniel Porteous?

He paid your bail after an arrest in early '85.

Did he miss his flight back, too?

Haven't seen Daniel in a long time.

Do you know where he is now? MATTHIAS PUFFS

Do you know anything about Gabriel Porteous, his son?

I didn't know he had a son.

"Matthias"...

Where's that from? It's grandfather's name.

Is that why you chose it?

You can go now. I've had enough.

I met your sister. Angie.

Surname's Boyce now, she got married.

You'd have missed that, right? Her wedding?

Must be some part of you that wants to see her again.

Maybe I could bring her over. I don't have a sister.

Yeah, she thinks you're dead.

I don't know what you're talking about.

We know who you are.

We know your documents are forged.

We know where you got 'em. I want you to leave.

NURSE ALERT RINGS We know what you were part of.

We know Catriona Grant is dead. Did you kill her, Andy?

I'm not Andy. She murdered your friend Kevin.

After you got him involved. That must have hurt.

Must've made you angry.

Get out. Was it all worth it?

Spending all your life running away, away from everyone that you know.

I said get out!

NURSE SPEAKS ITALIAN

Va bene, signora, partiamo in eso attimo, eh?

Murray...

If you didn't kill Catriona, but you know who did,

now's your time to speak, Andy. Portali via!

We'll apply for extradition, and we will get it, and we'll be back.

Adesso!

You shot Kevin dead? No.

I did.

We should've arrested him.

He either did it, or he knows who did it.

Well, let's start the process, get him brought back to Scotland.

It'll take too long. What if we can't cos of his condition?

What would Karen do?

I don't know. Scream in her car? HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Detective...

Scusa, eh? Adopo.

I need another favour. Another one?

I don't know. What if someone comes down here?

Me and Andy will guard the entrances.

You and Adam stay inside where you're safe.

I don't trust her, Mick.

She killed Kevin. How do I know you both won't shaft me?

Hey, you're being paranoid. We're in this together.

Are we?

ITALIAN TALK RADIO

PHONE RINGS

HE GRUNTS

Si, pronto. 'Mick, it's me.

'Scottish police have been here.'

They know who I am. They know who you are.

'And they know that Cat is dead.'

But they've found her.

What about Gabriel? They have his name.

'They'll be onto him soon.

'H-Have you spoken to him? Do you know where he is?'

No, no. I don't... I don't know.

'I'm sorry, Mick. I really am.'

'Sorry? What for?'

CALL HANGS UP

Andy?

Andy?

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Luca.

Where is Le Speranza? You moor her?

Yeah, the boat is up the coast, by St Paul's.

Can you keep an eye out for her?

And you'll keep this out of the records?

Didn't see a thing.

Queen Margaret's Hospital and Fergus' family

both confirmed his alibi.

If the murder happened when he said it did... he wasn't involved.

Why did he order the break-in, then?

He said Sir Broderick asked him to find out what we knew

by any means necessary.

What's Brodie afraid of?

Fergus said the third letter existed.

There was a handover on 12th October, '84.

Ah, right. And that's when he thinks Catriona was murdered.

So... our killer is one of four men.

Andy Kerr.

Who Murray and Isla just met with. He refused to speak.

Mick Prentice.

Who we're still struggling to track down.

Glen Gibson, Brodie's head of security.

He passed away years ago. And...

...Sir Broderick himself. Interesting.

You think he could have shot his own daughter?

We have to consider all possibilities, Sir.

Agreed, but this case needs to be iron-clad

if we're even gonna think about approaching him. I know, Sir.

You know he's been in contact with the ACC as well,

demanding the information we have about Adam.

Are you gonna give it to him? Don't be ridiculous, Pirie.

We're gonna solve this on our terms, not his.

Especially if he's a potential suspect. No.

So, tell Murray this is his moment. He wanted more responsibility...

So I've given it to him.

And he'd better not throw it away, then.

I really thought it was gonna be more fun than this.

You thought you'd be chasing baddies, wearing linen.

I never eat crisps.

We could go to the bar. Order martinis or something?

Would that make you feel more Bond? KNOCK ON DOOR

Buonasera. Hi.

Can I come in? Yeah, please, yeah.

DOOR SHUTS Salve.

Sleepover? No. No.

No, I have my own room. We were... We were just...

Every room has a twin bed, even if you're on your own.

You can put them together, but you just... just fall down the middle.

Look, I knew about the Grant case before you came.

It's very famous, no? But when you arrived, I thought,

"This Matthias guy, he can't be connected -"

"it must be some kind of a hoax."

Why?

Because they sent you two. They can't be taking this seriously.

SHE SCOFFS We're actually, er,

really good detectives.

Just ignoring the snacks. We don't usually do that.

Right. Look, when I went back to the ward,

they told me Matthias Johnson had been moved to a private hospital.

Really? Today?

An expensive facility.

Surely he doesn't have the money for that. That's what I thought.

Otherwise, he would've been there from the beginning.

Someone's paid him not to speak to us.

Which makes me think you are on the right track.

Yeah, because we're good detectives.

But who paid him? Well, there is this.

I spoke to the hospital, like you asked me to.

They said Mr Johnson made a phone call just after you left.

Who-Whose number is it? It's registered to Daniel Porteous.

That's Mick Prentice. Then we've got him!

And this is the address his number was registered to?

So, what, do you think Mick paid Andy not to talk?

Right, let's get to Mick's house first thing tomorrow.

I'm gonna take you myself.

Get ready. Yeah.

You really do blow hot and cold, you know?

Consider this... hot. You don't mind being seen with me?

I asked you here, didn't I? Mm. Go on.

Brodie chose you to interview him. Why?

Think he'd seen me defend him on breakfast TV a couple of times.

And why did you defend him?

Because bashing a billionaire's the obvious position.

I... I wanted to provide an interesting angle.

And what did you think of what he said?

What I felt was missing was the "why".

Did you ask him? Off-air. He didn't want it included.

So he told you about Fergus, Adam's father?

And how he stood by him? But it's not enough.

To make you kidnap yourself and your baby son?

CLICKS HER TEETH I don't buy it.

What if I told you I think you might be right?

Well, I'd love that.

And I need your help. Even better.

But you can't repeat any of this, Bel. Not until we've solved it.

Then I get an exclusive?

BREATHLESSLY: OK.

Brodie is freezing the police out. He won't work with us.

I need you to use whatever access you can get

to dig into his relationship with his daughter.

Are you gonna give me anything to go on?

The story that he's been telling for the past 40 years...

Mm...? ..there's something missing from it.

Something he has always maintained...

never arrived.

The third letter.

Couldn't possibly say.

You're building a case against him. Whatever you can get.

From him, Grant Ops, friends, family, associates...

Straight back to you. I'm trusting you, Bel.

Yeah, you are. I like it.

Remote out here, eh?

Somebody who doesn't want any neighbours.

What's the, er... the process over here?

Can you enter without a warrant? No.

But I can call the station and see if they can expedite one.

I mean, even if he's not home,

I think we have enough to permit a search.

But how quickly can you get them over here?

It can take weeks in the UK.

Murray, I'm gonna take a walk to the end of the track,

have a cigarette and enjoy the view.

OK.

I guess I'll, I'll find Isla. That's a great idea.

Take your time.

Isla?

ISLA GRUNTS Stop, stop, put the gun down.

Please, please. Lower it. I'm not armed, OK?

Keep your hands up. Yeah.

And stay where you are.

ISLA BREATHES SHAKILY Let-Let go of her.

Let her go, please.

You OK? Yeah, yeah. I'm OK.

Go. Go, Mint, go! Go after him! SHE PANTS

Barbieri, get after him! Go!

Your phone, your phone. The-The plate.

The registration, quick!

'I don't know where he's from, but he didn't sound Italian.'

You OK? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. He got away?

Yes, but we got the car registration.

When I came in, he was in there on the computer.

Did you see what he was looking at? No, I couldn't get in.

But look. Found it in the wastepaper bin.

It's the final page off a flight booking,

the kind you get after your ticket prints.

Doesn't tell us which flight.

But it does tell us that Mick has run.

I'm gonna call the airline and find out which route he was booked on.

SHE EXHALES HEAVILY

SOFTLY: You all right? Yeah.

Look at all the photos.

Mick raised him here.

Doesn't seem to fit with someone who murdered his mother.

Maybe they couldn't bring themselves to kill him.

PHONE BUZZES

Mint, did you find him? Mick Prentice has gone to Malta.

Malta?

'ItaliaJet flight to Valletta last night.'

'Right, OK.' But there's something else.

'What, what's happened?'

'There was someone at Mick's farmhouse when we got here.

'Wasn't Mick.'

He was armed, he had Isla at gunpoint.

What?! Is she OK? 'Yeah. Yeah, she's fine.'

We got his car registration.

Isla thinks that he's a private detective.

He's trying to beat you... to Mick.

'We have to find out who he is.' And we have to stop him.

Wait...

Mint, there's no extradition from Malta.

'That's why Mick's headed there.'

Cos he knows we can't bring him home.

We'll get down there as soon as we can. Yeah.

I'm coming, too.

KAREN SIGHS

It's too hot.

Aye, you get used to it. You don't.

Where's the police station, Mint?

Right. Update me on the way.

So, we think Murray's emails could have been hacked.

What? Really?!

I got a bunch of weird messages about new sign-ins.

Either way, someone got to Andy Kerr before us

and then beat us to Mick's farmhouse as well.

The car reg that we took down was from a rental.

We contacted the hire company, and we got a name.

Jonas Weber. Ex-federal police from Berlin.

He was removed from the force for allegedly killing another officer.

What? Never convicted.

But he's been a private investigator ever since.

High-profile clients. He seems expensive.

Sir Broderick. Has to be.

So Brodie hired him to find Andy and paid him not to talk to us. Why?

Or maybe he's paid him for information -

Mick Prentice's location...

Right. Cop killer, armed, threatened both of you...

My guess is Brodie didn't hire him to pay Mick off.

Do you think it's a hit?

All I think is that...

we need to get to Mick before this Weber guy does.

Ah...

So, this is where it all happens?

It feels wrong... you being in here. Yeah.

Like a spy behind enemy lines.

You found anything of interest?

Er, yeah.

Everyone who knows Brodie's been trotting out the same story -

he was a loving father,

his relationship with Cat was wonderful...

So, no cracks in the facade? Yeah.

They managed to keep their fallout about Fergus behind closed doors.

Got me wondering what else they kept hidden.

And this... was in the archives at the Scots Times.

It's a letter from Catriona to a journalist.

She asked for a meeting. Mm. In February '84.

But shortly after, Sir Broderick contacted the paper

and forbade them to write about the meeting.

He had the journalist sign a... an NDA.

Paid them off. Mm.

What would she want to go to the press about?

Well, I looked into the writer, Agnes Selkirk,

and she covered business stories for the Times.

So, it wasn't personal. It's got to be Grant Operations.

Catriona worked for them for a while, didn't she?

I think she knew something, she wanted to tell the world...

But she was stopped before she could.

Can we find the journalist? We've tried, but...

NDA. When does it run out?

She's dead.

Nature's NDA. KAREN SIGHS

Bel's looking further into it.

Keep building the case against Brodie.

'How are you getting on out there?'

We're on our way to meet the local force. Chat later.

Can I help you? Er, yes.

I'm DI Karen Pirie from the Scottish Police Service.

I spoke to a member of the team earlier. OK.

We're working on the Catriona Grant case.

Yes, we're aware. But we're supporting the family directly.

What do you mean? The Grants.

Yes, but when you say "supporting"...?

Their search. But it's our investigation.

The crime happened on Scottish soil. We have it under control.

Are you stonewalling us? Why? Why are you doing that...?

Wait, wait. Sorry, excuse me, who's your search for? A suspect?

The victim. Adam? Adam's here in Malta?

Why? Who are you looking for?

It doesn't matter. Let's get out of here.

WOMAN SPEAKS MALTESE ANGRILY

So, Mick came here because Adam's here.

How does Brodie know that?

The PI?

Maybe Andy told him, maybe something on Mick's computer?

And how did Adam get into the country?

Barbieri said that the Italians have him on a no-fly list.

If he'd have got on a plane, they'd have told us.

Boat, maybe? Yeah, that make's sense.

He's an expert on those crossings.

And there were pictures of him on a boat all around Mick's farmhouse.

Was there a name on the boat, can you remember?

We could try boat licences, moorings in his name.

Because if Mick is here for him, we find Adam...

We find Mick.

EXCLAIMS ANGRILY IN MALTESE

Sorry, are you OK?

I'm fine.

It's just work, you know?

Yeah.

Stressed?

My boss. CHUCKLING: Right.

I break my back for this job.

Yeah. And no acknowledgement? No appreciation?

Exactly. I know the feeling.

You British? Scottish, yeah.

You with Sir Broderick?

I'm with the Police Service. I'm a DI over there.

I'm not working on the case, if that's what you're after.

No, no, no, I just... I just wanted to see if you're OK.

Like I say, I get it, I've been there.

You ever practise your resignation speech in your head?

In the shower.

Then in the mirror. Then in the car on the way to work.

And then... You stop.

Because you love your job.

And you don't want to throw it away just to make a point.

KAREN INHALES AND SIGHS

Can I offer you an alternative?

Something that might make that point for you?

Sorry, English, or Italian. Is Gabriel Porteous here?

I don't know who that is. You're his girlfriend.

Can we come in? No!

Not without a warrant.

All right. We'll be back.

I really shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't be helping you.

Your force shouldn't be blocking us. You're redressing the balance.

You go up without me. If you want me to keep helping you,

I can't have Brodie report back to my boss.

Thank you for this, detective.

Courage. KAREN CHUCKLES SOFTLY

DI Pirie. I heard you'd arrived.

Yes. You didn't think to give me a call?

I'd like to see Sir Broderick.

Karen.

How are you enjoying the heat? Yes, it doesn't suit me, sir.

Neither does being frozen out of my own investigation.

"Your own investigation"?

It's my family you're talking about here.

Why are you here, Sir Broderick? To find my grandson.

How do you know he's here? I have my sources.

Ah, yes, that's right...

You've hired a dangerous ex-member of the German police,

who held a gun to my colleague's head.

I don't know what you're talking about. Jonas Weber.

I think he's hacking into our systems.

I think he's paid off a potential witness.

I think he's obstructing the case on your behalf.

And you need to know that, as soon as you step foot on British soil,

I will arrest you for it.

Big, big talk. What I don't understand is why.

You're just making yourself look more guilty.

You're building my case for me.

Or maybe I have no reason to worry about appearing guilty

because I'm not.

If you've got nothing to hide,

why did you have someone break into my flat?

Why have you turned the Maltese police against us?

Why have you got someone searching for Mick Prentice?

You gonna pay him off, too?

Silence him, so he doesn't let us know that you...?

Mick Prentice killed my daughter.

And how do you know that?!

You know... we've arrested Fergus Sinclair.

SHE CHUCKLES LIGHTLY

You think he'd stay loyal, wouldn't you? After 40 years.

Yeah. He didn't.

We know what happened on October 12th, Sir Broderick.

No, you don't. Fergus told us.

Fergus wasn't there. And you were?

If you think you've made some damning discovery, DI Pirie...

...you are wrong.

If you're so sure that Mick Prentice killed Catriona,

tell me how you know that!

Because I was there.

You saw him kill her?

I heard it. The gunfire.

And I knew.

For years... I thought she was out there... with Adam.

'But my only thought that night was to get them home.'

Can you see anyone? Not yet.

If he brings police, we run. Straightaway.

If he's just with Glen, we go ahead.

Soon as we have Adam, we get out of there.

And Catriona? We'll see.

They're here. Are they alone?

Looks like it.

MICK EXHALES

HE PUFFS

SHOUTING: Are you out there?

Hey!

MICK SNARLS

Put the money on the ground, ten paces in front of you.

Dad! Where's Adam?

I said, put the money on the ground! Where is he? I wanna see him!

Dad, he's safe. Just, please, just give them what they want.

You said you'd give us Adam first. What does it matter?

Please! Where is he?!

SCREAMING: I said put the money down, or I'll shoot!

They said I could get him afterwards.

What if I said I don't believe you?

GUNSHOT, CATRIONA SCREAMS

Dad! Please! Please, please, please! SOBBING: Please, please, please!

SHE SOBS Please...

SHE PANTS

Tell him to take the gun down.

I said lower the gun! CATRIONA SOBS

Glen...

Pick it up.

SOBBING: I'll be back, Dad. I'll bring you Adam!

Move. Move!

Bring me my grandson!

Now!

We waited and we waited.

But they never came back to the beach.

Did you go after them? We heard something.

By the time we got to the cave, it was collapsing.

We thought we'd heard the rock fall.

But it was gunshots.

Glen knew there was a-a way out at the back.

He ran up there to see if they were there.

CAR SPEEDING AWAY

They've gone, Brodie. I saw them go. What?

Part of me wanted the... police to find them.

But the other, the other part... didn't want anyone to ever know.

Because you were embarrassed about what she did to you?

Now you know... that she was found in the caves.

And it changes everything.

I've been remembering it.

Reliving it.

Trying to make sense of it.

And you think Mick Prentice killed her.

I think as soon as he got the money...

...the man she trusted betrayed her.

But Adam...?

You think they took Adam with them?

I won't know...

...till I find Mick Prentice.

You paid Andy Kerr for information.

Did he tell you what happened at the caves that night?

No, he refused. Said no amount of money was enough.

That's pretty incriminating, if you ask me.

What you're doing out here, Sir Broderick, is not helpful,

and it's not legal.

You are way, way out of your jurisdiction, DI Pirie.

And I don't really care what you think.

Are you lonely without her? Without my boss?

Is that what you're asking? Yeah, they're abroad, aren't they?

The rest of the team... HE CHUCKLES

You know, I don't like this sneaky thing.

If you wanna ask me where my colleagues are, just ask me.

OK, where are they? Team building trip to Alton Towers.

That's very funny.

Have you found anything?

I think so.

I, er, I looked at Agnes Selkirk's previous reporting.

The only time she ever wrote about Grant Operations was in 1982.

Several articles about an accident on a rig in the Kilmar oil field.

Right.

Three men were killed when Mark Denmoor, a 30-year-old engineer,

made a drunken... mistake whilst operating heavy machinery.

I thought oil rigs were dry? They are.

His family apologised to the other victims' loved ones,

and they confirmed he'd been suffering

from quite a serious drink problem at the time.

Fergus is quoted - "our deepest condolences".

Have you spoken to the victims' families?

Yes. And they won't say a word.

None of 'em? Said they couldn't talk about it.

Couldn't, like, legally?

Over to you... Detective.

So, Brodie thinks that Mick killed Cat and ran away with the money.

We can't trust a word Brodie says. He hid all of that for 40 years.

And now he's blocking us at every turn.

Camilleri can't get any information. The whole force is in his pocket.

So, I've tried tracing Mick's bank cards,

I've got the phone company tracking his number... nothing.

He must have a burner and be using cash.

KAREN INHALES SHARPLY Yeah, well, that's it, then.

Abroad, with zero power, zero leads and zero resources.

WHISPERING: It's perfect (!)

MOBILE RINGS

Ciao, amico mio. 'Eh, ciao, brother.'

I have something for you, and I haven't given it to the Maltese yet.

Oh, yeah?

'Gabriel's phone company has been tracking his phone for us.'

It's been off for a few days. The last time it was on was in Sicily.

But he just turned it back on again, and I have a location.

What is it? What is it?! Location for Adam.

Send it! Send it now. Do you have that map?

Can you send that over? 'Right away.'

And can you... delay telling anyone else?

Don't worry, I'm busy today, tomorrow and the next day.

I'm not taking any more calls unless it's from my mother. OK.

Buonanotte. 'Thanks.'

There we go.

Erm, so, this is the area, in downtown Valletta

that the cell tower covers. That's huge, Mint!

Can't they get more specific? That's gotta be, like, ten blocks?

Yeah, but it's a start, though?

Let's get down there, scout around, see if we can get eyes on him.

There's three of us, Mint.

We can't do a three-person stake-out of 20 streets.

OK.

I'm gonna call Camilleri

and see if she can get residents' information on the area.

Hang on a second, two minutes ago, your head was on the table.

Yeah, and you were saying we were completely screwed.

But now we have something

that Broderick Grant and his minions don't have.

Good morning. 'I think I've got something here.'

Incident on a Grant Operations oil rig in '82.

'Go on.' Three men died.

Right. 'It was all blamed on one of them.'

His family admitted he had a drink problem, publicly apologised.

None of them will talk about what happened, but I looked into it.

All three families moved house not long after the accident.

"Moved house"? Into much bigger properties.

I mean, places they could've never have afforded before.

You think they were paid off?

Catriona contacted the journalist that ran the story a year later.

'What if she'd found out the truth?'

Keep digging. Let me know what you find.

Karen.

Are you OK? What's happened?

There was an attempted shooting on the other side of the old town.

And when I heard whose apartment it was...

Whose? Renata Rossi, Gabriel's girlfriend, apparently.

Was anyone hurt? No.

And they won't let me access the scene.

Brodie's all over it. Because Brodie's behind it.

All the more reason for us to act fast.

Did you find anything about this area?

Alessandro Vella, also an activist,

he was previously arrested for the same thing Gabriel does,

only here, in Malta. You think they may know each other?

And this is where he lives? Two streets away.

I have a couple of unmarked cars. Another officer is coming up.

Then we have a plan.

Hi. Hi.

Could you open that window, please? Yeah.

Keep your eyes on the back of the house.

Alessandro, do you speak English? Mm-hm.

When was the last time you saw Gabriel?

I don't remember. Not for months.

Do you mind if we take a look around your place?

I'm not lying to you.

If I had anything to hide, I wouldn't let you in, would I?

Well, if you've nothing to hide, then can we take a look around?

My family is here. This is our home.

We'll be very respectful. No. I'm sorry.

I'll tell you exactly what happened, just please...

Just please let him go, yeah?

Er... DOOR CLOSES

I wondered if I might ask you a few things...

before I bring your father in?

Go on.

What do you know about your mother?

My mother? Yeah.

HE INHALES DEEPLY Er...

That she died when I was very young.

She was Scottish, like my father.

He always tells me that she was very beautiful.

KAREN CHUCKLES SOFTLY

That she was smart, that she was principled.

That's why he raised me the way he did, and...

HE INHALES DEEPLY ..that's why I do what I do.

Because of her?

My dad always says that if she'd lived longer,

she would've tried to change the world.

Are you on good terms with your father?

It's been complicated. How so?

He admires what I do, but he thinks it's too risky.

He doesn't want me to end up in prison.

DOOR OPENS

Why is he in handcuffs? Can you take them off?

My father hasn't broken a rule in his life.

DOOR OPENS

Hey. Hey.

DOOR CLOSES

I don't even know where to begin with this.

Does he know her name?

Whose name? Your mother's.

You know she was Catriona, but, er...

...her last name...

MacLennan. No, i-it was Grant.

Catriona Grant?

I kept it from you

because I-I didnae want you to be burdened with it.

Who you are, and... what that means.

Who I am?

Look, I need to tell you this from the beginning so y-you understand.

'When I met Catriona...

'..she changed everything about me.'

ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

'My world had been so small until she came into it.

'I would've done anything for her.

'Anything she asked. And I did.'

But... that wasn't the start of your life.

You were already with us.

What do you mean?

I'm not your birth father, Gabriel.

SOFTLY: What?

Your mother didn't want you to know. Why?

Well, she didnae want you to become one of them.

One of who?

Who's he? Who's my father?

Well, his name is Fergus Sinclair. Mm-hm.

And he was an executive of Grant Operations -

that's your grandfather's company.

He was your grandfather's protege.

'They had a relationship. It was brief, and it wasnae serious, but...

'..she got pregnant.

'She thought... he'd leave his wife once you were born.'

But he didn't, and, erm...

He... Well, he refused to meet you.

From what I heard...

...Catriona expected her father

to turn his back on Fergus at that point.

To... fire him from the company.

SOFTLY: But he didn't.

Why? That's what she wanted to know.

Why was her dad protecting this man who'd rejected her?

Did she find out?

Yeah, about six months after you were born,

Cat went back to Grant Operations.

'She stumbled on it.

'Legal documents with Fergus' name on.

'Cat said Brodie had used Fergus to distance himself from the incident.'

You sent Fergus out there to do your bidding?

I sent him out there to do his job. Cost-saving cutbacks...

They warned you there would be accidents.

Because it's your fault, isn't it? That people have died?

Mark Denmoor had a history of drinking.

But he hadn't had a drop!

You made everyone lie to cover your back.

You now have blood on your hands.

You and Fergus paid those families

because you don't want the world to know who you really are.

Don't get involved with what you can't handle, Catriona.

'Cat did go to a journalist, but Brodie had ties at the paper.'

Any luck? They won't go near it.

Says I don't have enough proof.

He'll go after them legally, he'll shut it down.

SIGHING: I hate him.

VOICE SHAKING: I hate him! It's like...

...everywhere I go, he's there. Hey, hey, listen, it's OK.

It's not OK!

It's one thing for me to have to grow up in it...

but I don't want it for Adam.

So, let's go away.

With what? We have nothing.

That makes no change for me.

SOFTLY: Hey...

Cat didnae want to be a Grant any more.

And she didnae want you to be one either.

So what did she do?

I have... the same question, Mr Prentice.

Cat... She wanted to start a new life,

and she wanted money to be able to provide for you.

And she wanted to punish her father for everything he'd done.

So you... So you staged a kidnap?

Uh-huh. Was it Cat's idea?

She had to convince me, but, like I said, I would have done anything.

I don't understand. If she was behind it, what went wrong?

'Och, it all fell apart when Kevin...

'He-He-He threatened to pull it all down,

'and we had to leave the cottage.'

The payday I'm getting for this is nothing

compared to what I will get when I go and see your daddy!

'So, er, Andy - that's Matthias to you...

'Andy waited in the car with you.'

Listen to me, baby. I'm gonna be right back, I promise.

She didn't want you anywhere near that cave.

That's what saved your life.

So, we went down, and we met Brodie and his security man.

Was it just you and them on the beach? Mm-hm.

But then, when you went back into the cave...

something happened.

That's where she died.

How did she die?

I don't think they meant to do it. I think they were aiming for me.

And I blame myself, really.

I blame myself for saying yes to any of this.

Who shot her, Mick?

Who killed Cat that night in the cave?

Did you know that Brodie had received a third ransom note?

No, he hid it from me. Why?

I didn't want Mary to know.

She would've... made me show the police,

and they'd have stopped me going down there.

And it may have revealed Cat's complicity.

I thought I could do it all myself, just...

...go down there, give her the money...

bring Adam home.

He was trying to be the hero.

How did you find out? I sensed it.

'Something was happening, between him and Glen.'

DOOR CREAKS AND SHUTS

That's what you're maintaining?

OK.

What happened next?

'I wasn't really thinking. I just acted.'

I'd driven the gamekeeper's car, and...

At what point did you pick up the weapon?

I took it because I had no idea what I was about to face.

Well, everyone needs the truth.

So I'll keep looking for it.
