With Allied air superiority established, British troops were able to continue

their relentless push forwards towards Kuwait City.

Early reports suggest that Iraqi Grand Forces have taken a terrible pounding,

especially on the road to Basra out of Kuwait City itself.

As Iraqi forces made their last desperate escape with anything they

They find themselves ambushed on the main highway.

With 120 tanks being destroyed and the surrender of over 20 ,000 POWs, this has

put extra strain on the already over... How's Nick?

It's quiet enough for a first night.

She's on her way to pick someone up in Condonis Road.

She'd be fine.

Her father's daughter.

There's no doubt about that.

Should be okay.

What's going on here?

Nicky! Nicky!

But when I'm with you, I know that I'm free. For Christ's sake,

do something!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We've got a message now for a very special young girl out there who's been

having a real bad time.

She's been in hospital now for almost two years.

But I know you're going to pull through, kid, so... Nicky O'Donnell, me and the

boys would like to dedicate this next number especially to you.

So stick with it, kid.

We all miss you very much.

God bless.

We hope to see you back at the Grand Old Opry very soon.

I don't know how to thank you for the celebration meal, Mrs Taggart. Jean.

Aye, Jean. Why not, Mum?

And Dad?

You're almost family.

He's not family.

Dad? In my book, family means being married.

Anyway, I thought this dinner was to celebrate the opening of your wine bar

tomorrow night, not to live in in bloody sin.

He's under a lot of strain at the moment.

Look what you've made me do now.

I've never been more embarrassed in my life.

Jean, I can't approve.

What are you trying to do? Break up the family?

You spoiled a wonderful meal.

I'll never forgive you for that.

Look, I don't think it's about us living together.

I think he just doesn't like me, period.

It's been the same with everyone I've brought home.

Dad's expectations for his little girl didn't include running a wine bar.

The things I'm wasting my life, that's what it's all about.

I'm sorry, Matt.

You must think we're... No, no.

Jim has a lot on his mind.

He's responsible for protecting witnesses in that damn taxicab trial.

I understand. You don't have to explain.

Night, Mum.

We're off back to the flat.

See you tomorrow night, then, Dad.

Bye.

See you tomorrow.

Mr. Strachan, your minicab business was profitable and expanding.

Isn't that what you said?

Aye.

I was doing okay.

Until O'Donnell tried to muscle in.

Aye.

Not by conventional methods, but by intimidation and violence, which

serious injury to yourself and a number of your employees.

My lord, I strongly object.

My learned friend is leading.

We've had no direct evidence that the accused was in any way responsible for

those attacks.

My Lord, the indictment libels two charges of attempted murder of Mr

and we've already heard evidence from this witness. I am merely seeking

clarification.

Objection repelled.

Please carry on, Miss Duncan, but do not lead the witness.

You say this cab war had got out of hand, and you, Mr Strachan,

came off worse in this violent tit -for -tat.

My daughter has been fighting for her life in hospital for two years, and you

say I came off bestier? It was an accident. Order!

Please calm down, Mr Strachan. It's in your own interest. I never started this.

The only thing I'm guilty of is dissolving the partnership and starting

own. You will refrain from these outbursts.

This is not the first time that I have warned you both.

If you persist in this, Mr. O'Donnell, we shall proceed in the trial without

you, and you, Mr. Strachan, will find yourself in contempt of court.

Do I make myself clear?

Mr Strachan, there is a recent scar you have on your face.

Would you tell the court how you got it?

Where would you like me to start?

From the beginning.

I put the day's takings into a leather pouch.

What time was this?

Around midnight, I suppose.

Just before.

And how much did the takings come to?

The exact amount.

Yes, the exact amount, Mr Strachan.

£900 .32.

Please tell the court what happened next.

I left the office, locked up, and walked to my car.

Go on, Mr Strachan.

Three masked men appeared.

They appeared to come from nowhere.

Two of them held me from behind.

The other...

Slashed me across the face with a knife.

He then lunged at my body.

Would you show the jury your other scars, Mr Strachan?

They left you for dead.

Aye.

They're dead.

And was there a next time?

Two weeks later.

Somebody tried to burn down my house while my son Tony and I were asleep.

You may button up your shirt, Mr. Strachan.

Just stop straight.

That goes into the corner.

Hello? Can I help you?

The car park.

Tonight. Eight o 'clock.

Don't be late.

Gunfight at the OK Corral?

Cut a few shotgun pellets. Nothing serious, thank God.

Got a good description from one of the drivers.

He's sure the guy's not local.

Any vehicle?

Blackfeet people. That was seen driving away.

No registration number, but there was one stolen a week ago from Cathcart.

What we have to bear in mind is, for security reasons, that if this trial

on for another week... It won't, sir.

Aye, well, the last time you told me that, Brian, I missed the Rangers match.

I'll never forgive you for it.

That was a different sort of trial, Jim. We had a lot of surprises sprung on us.

What do you call shooting up Strachan's office?

Surely O'Donnell wouldn't be such a mug as to try this kind of intimidation now.

In the middle of the trial?

I believe Strachan was responsible for Nicky's accident.

He's not going to let up now, sir.

I would have thought that excuse was wearing a bit thin.

Come.

If O'Donnell goes down, sir, it paves the way for Strachan to take over his

territory.

That's what this is all about.

Yes, Jackie.

The vehicle that was used in the attack at Strachan's office.

It's been found in some waste ground.

It's been burnt out, sir.

He was tall, very tall, wore a long coat and boots.

You mentioned his eyes.

Aye, cold, daring, a right nutter.

Alan, can you do the knee fit really quickly?

Tall, dark, stranger, cold, searing eyes.

A right nutter.

I'll do my bit.

Excuse me.

Sorry, we're closed.

Oh, hell.

I could do with about eight pairs of hands.

Let me help.

That's very kind of you.

You're Australian, aren't you?

You're not going to hold that against me, are you?

Your place.

Boyfriend and I. We're partnered.

When do you open?

Oh, tonight, hopefully.

Bill. Bill Hamilton.

Alison Tykes. Alison.

Alison. Oh, Matt, let me introduce you to Bill. I've got a hundred things, my

man. I haven't got time to be sociable. The baguettes haven't arrived. Leslie

wants to start the salads now, and we still haven't had the delivery from the

Macpherson's. Can you chase them up, please?

Get a move on, will you?

Sorry about that.

Bad time.

As you can see, we're up to our necks in it.

You don't happen to play, do you?

A little.

Well, there's a job going here if you'd want to.

We've just been let down.

Oh, come on.

Done with you for a few nights.

Couple of lunchtimes, maybe?

Hope you don't mind me asking.

Anything in the courtyard?

No, but we'll catch him, won't we?

We'll get the bastard, won't we?

Yes, we'll get him.

We'll get him.

That was wonderful.

Where did you learn to play the piano like that?

I was brought up to appreciate music.

Fantastic. I'll see you tonight, then. Is 7 .30 OK?

Oh, don't worry about that.

We'll fix you up with a tux.

Well, the jacket, anyway.

Thanks.

By the way, can you tell me how to find the Grand Old Opry?

Grand Old Opry?

There's a country singer there looking for some band members to go on tour with

him. Nothing definite.

Yeah, well, just so long as you remember that I've got first claim on you.

How can I forget?

Well, you go out to the main street.

There's a set of traffic lights about 100 yards.

You turn right and it's on the corner.

See you then.

Wish you luck.

That woman's too bloody cute.

Leave Miss Duncan to me.

She'll have my head in the news.

Don't go into the witness box, Mr. O'Donnell.

You'll give the wrong impression to the jury.

I strongly suggest... You strongly suggest not.

You don't have to stand there and take all that shit, do you?

You're charged with attempt to murder, Mr. O'Donnell.

It's not like refusing to pay your poll tax or forgetting to declare taxable

income. You could go down for a very long time.

I'm sure you understand that.

Oh, yeah.

I understand all right.

Well, is that okay?

I think you put your evidence over very well.

But he must be prepared for heavy cross -examination tomorrow.

That doesn't matter to me as long as that bastard goes down.

If he doesn't, I swear... You'll do nothing that will play into their hands.

I've told you, Mr Strachan, you must speak to the fiscal and not to me.

Chief Inspector Mills.

Your office has been attacked.

What do you mean, attacked?

It's been shot up.

You swore if I gave evidence.

Superintendent McVitie assured me that every prosecution witness would receive

adequate protection.

It's impossible to cover every eventuality.

If you can't lay down guarantees, then I refuse to give further evidence.

You're a very lucky man, Strachan. You could easily be standing in that dog

yourself.

Take him out of here.

We can't afford to lose this case, Chief Inspector. It is in the public interest

that... I know what's in the public interest.

You do your job, I'll do mine.

Precisely.

Stay away from my husband, bitch!

You coward!

I'm telling you to fight me!

Sean!

Chief Inspector.

I've changed my mind.

Again?

I'll give you the evidence you want.

Not to me, Miss Gilbreath.

I want you to make your statement to Mr Taggart.

Carlton Stewart?

Do I look like Carlton Stewart?

Where is the man?

Audition?

Yep.

Audition's Friday.

Darling, there's something I've got to talk to you about. Not now, Ian. I have

busy schedule.

How do I get to talk to you? Do you want me to make an appointment?

Don't be sarcastic, Ian. It doesn't suit you.

How long have you been having an affair with O'Donnell?

Off and on, about two years.

But his wife never knew.

Dee Dee has a drink problem.

If she knew about us, she didn't care.

Well, she knows now.

Sean set me up in the boutique. Once this business with Strachan was over, he

promised to leave Dee Dee.

And you believed him?

What happens now?

Well, I make arrangements at the hotel.

We can then go back to your flat and pick up a few of your things.

I'm not sure I'm ready for all this.

You can't change your mind now.

What about the boutique?

We'll have somebody to keep an eye on it.

Don't worry.

Don't worry?

I leave you in charge of the business for two weeks and we end up in a bloody

full -scale war.

That was over two years ago, Dad. Do I have to go through this again and again?

Next time you want to flex your muscles, you think. I didn't know Nicky was

driving the cab.

Is that all you can say?

O'Donnell's men were taking liberties.

And how could I get in touch with you? You were way playing soldiers, for

Christ's sake. Lucky for you, the Gulf War ended when it did.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a business to come back to.

It was an accident. How many times do I have to tell you? You get in touch with

O'Donnell. Give him a message.

Don't ring from here.

You tell him.

Enough is enough.

Tell him I want to talk.

You can't do that. Do it.

Everything all right?

Aye, fine.

Do you fancy a takeaway?

No, for me, thanks.

There's nothing in the fridge.

Do you mind if Tony slips out?

He goes to one of our lads. I wouldn't have it any other way, Michael.

Will you lay out the sauce?

Last time, Sean.

Give it a rest.

I'm warning you.

I've given you the best years of my life.

If you think I'm going to let some tart... Double whiskey.

Billy? What rubber have you picked up from my husband tonight?

What's he talking about?

How the hell do I know?

Is it done?

Aye, it's done.

No trouble?

No trouble.

Don't play with me, Shanks.

Anything to keep me quiet, is that it?

You're pissing me off, do you know that?

Why don't you send her off on a bloody cruise or something?

What about your aunt?

If you want to put the fear of God on people, you've got the right man.

He scares me just looking at him. Can we trust him?

The man's a professional.

And she's had enough to drink. Just call her a taxi.

Stop.

Something bothering me, sir.

What's that?

Mrs. Duncan.

Ah, the lovely Michelle.

I've been trying to get a hold of her.

Haven't we all?

No, seriously.

I need to speak to her or the fiscal.

The ambitious Michelle.

I don't know about ambitious.

She's certainly doing a brilliant PR job.

This trial's turning out to be a commercial for Michelle Duncan.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm getting a wee bit edgy. I don't want this case to

go flying out the window.

What's the problem?

Liz Galbraith.

Well, if you feel you must have words with me, Cheryl, tell me what you want.

And then I suggest you leave it in my hands.

I'm a friend of the family, Brian.

Ian Duncan and I are old golfing partners.

Yeah. Dad wants me to do a deal.

Well, you tell him he had a chance.

The token's over.

He's serious.

If he's serious, tell him I want to see a sign of goodwill.

He must be joking.

What do you think?

Good evening.

Could you tell me where I can find the dojo, please?

Just through the door and up the stairs.

Thank you, madam.

But, sir, you can't go in. It's windy tonight.

Hey, punk.

Sorry, Maddy.

Matty.

Matty. You should know better, Michelle.

It's a sport. It's not a battle.

Jack.

I'm impressed, Michelle.

Over -enthusiasm stems from my childhood, Jack.

Two big brothers taking advantage of their little sister.

Not anymore.

What can I do for you?

Liz Galbraith has changed her mind again. She will give evidence after all.

You realise this meeting is highly irregular, Jack?

Well, yes.

But I had to tell someone this evening.

I'm told this afternoon she was O'Donnell's mistress.

And she can bridge a number of the weaknesses in our case.

Why has she changed her mind again at this stage? Well, you know what they say

about a woman's call.

Well, can you take a detailed statement from her and get it to the fiscal's

office first thing in the morning?

Yes, yes.

And I think you should apply to have O'Donnell's bail withdrawn.

It might give the Liz Galbraith of this world some confidence in us.

I also suggest to the jury that O'Donnell is guilty.

He'd therefore have grounds for appeal.

I don't want that to happen.

Now, if you don't mind, Jack, I'm going for a swim.

Unless, of course, you'd like to continue this discussion in... Well, no.

could be in enough hot water already.

Thank you, Matt.

Do I know him? Who?

You know who I mean.

Know him? Yes.

Have a mushroom pizza? Will that do?

Aye.

That'll do.

Anyone for coffee?

No, no thanks.

I'll give you a hand, son.

He made a phone call.

Who to?

Said it was his girlfriend.

Thanks. And I keep an eye on him.

And Grant.

I want the trial brought on a blocked end.

That's all I've got.

We're saving.

He promised.

He's not coming, is he? He must have been held up.

This is his way of telling me he doesn't approve.

Alice is engaged in a very difficult inquiry. That excuse is wearing pretty

thin. I'm glad I'm not.

What do you think?

I've got a lot of hard work into the placement.

I don't think I'm going to pop an eight -plus, will I?

I wish you well.

Thank you.

Jackie. Jackie did...

How

long do I have to stay here?

Well, until the trial's over.

Then what?

Well, I'll worry about that when the time comes.

I'm beginning to wish I'd never bothered.

Well, I worked my way up through the Northern Territory.

You've heard of the Northern Territory, have you? Why, yes.

Flating bars.

A little bit different than this place.

More like a... You don't have to tell me, I can imagine.

I must say it sounds really exciting.

Well, after about a hundred -odd requests for...

boring to say the least.

Put enough money together though to make this trip.

Why don't we go out for dinner?

I'm far too busy.

I've had an invitation to go to the Bahamas in April.

Why don't you come with me?

We'll do us both good.

We never go anywhere these days. You're so immersed in your damn career.

I would like to have traced my great -grandfather's house.

He lived there in Glasgow, but I've only got six weeks.

I'd be pleased to help you. It's not that important.

Genealogy is a hobby of mine. It'd be no trouble.

Ladies and gentlemen, Alison and I would like to thank you all for coming here

this evening, and we look forward to welcoming you in the near future as

customers, as well as friends.

God bless you all and safe journey home.

Thanks again for coming.

Take care.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

I'm worn out.

Well, it's a way of life you better get used to.

We're going to make it to the dead mother.

You're folks.

Yes.

Well, there's still much shit about me.

I mean, I was living together.

You want to know something?

I don't really care.

This is very nice of you, Jack.

No trouble, Jean.

Are you sure you won't stay for a coffee?

No, it's getting late. I'd better get off home.

You'll be OK?

Of course.

Jim will be back soon.

See you later, Jean.

Thank you, Jack.

God bless.

I don't want to argue, Jean. I'm running out of excuses for you.

I don't like Matt.

How could you do this to your own daughter?

She knows how I feel.

You don't care a damn about other people's feelings.

You've missed the point, haven't you?

But then you always have.

I don't know why I ever married you, Jim Taggart.

I thought we employed you to play the piano.

Well, I haven't had any breakfast yet. Yeah, well, you should have had some

before you came in.

I thought it came with the job.

That's the only thing that comes with the job.

I saw him going up the road.

Dad. This is Bill.

Hi.

He's Australian.

Nice to meet you, Mr Taggart.

I want to apologise for last night.

I think it's time I got to work.

See you around, Mr Taggart.

I just want you to be happy, Alison.

Oh, Dad.

This Crocodile Dundee, is it something serious?

No. He just plays the piano and hopefully brings in a few customers.

Don't complicate your life, Alison.

Mr Strachan, I want you to tell the court what the accused said for you.

On the day you told him you were going to set up your own cab business.

I can't remember.

What do you mean you can't remember?

I can't remember.

Mr Stratton, did you not make a written statement

to Detective Jardine, signed by you and witnessed by another officer?

Well...

I said what Mr. Jarden wanted me to.

I think a short adjournment might assist you, Miss Duncan.

It will indeed, my lord.

Thank you.

What bloody strokes are you pulling now?

Well, come no given any more evidence.

Now you listen to me, Drachen. Mr. Drachen, a private word, please.

Excuse us.

I'm very disappointed in you.

Yeah? Well, it's not your life that's on the line, is it? Peter, I need to win

this case badly.

You never change, do you?

You don't give a damn about anyone except yourself.

You owe it to me out of loyalty.

Come on.

Am I imagining things, Rob? Those two have got something going.

Result. What?

I'd like to know what your wee secret is.

It's called charm.

Find out what's causing the delay.

Sir, you get back into court. I'll find Mr.

Duncan.

Mr.

Duncan!

They're waiting to go home. Can he find her?

You take a look down that way.

Is he Duncan?

Is he Duncan?

Is he Duncan?

I'll get some milk.

Nice try, Mucker.

But how can something like this happen in a court overwhelmed by your officers?

I hold you personally responsible, Jack.

I shall hold an inquiry, of course, Alastair.

Whatever happens, I will not let this dreadful business interfere with the

course of justice.

Of course not.

There'll be an adjournment in a couple of days.

Will the Crown Office get their act together?

Miss Duncan will be sadly missed.

Are you positive her death had nothing to do with O'Donnell?

I'm afraid not, Alastair.

This is Glasgow, Jack, not Chicago.

I will not be intimidated.

Look at your strangulation.

The wire was thrown over the head in a loop.

She was a judo expert.

Yes, well, I don't think wire pulled tightly from behind is in the normal

repertoire of the sport.

Could you break it gently, too, that there's going to be a recess?

This is turning into a nightmare, you know that? You're overreacting.

Yeah, well, possibly a few days.

Look,

I don't want her to learn about it through the media.

Tell her she'll have to stay there for a few days longer.

If there's any trouble, ring me back, otherwise I'll speak to you later, eh?

OK.

Bye.

OK, bye.

There's something wrong, isn't there?

Everything's fine.

Mr. Duncan, did Michelle have any enemies?

Threatening phone calls, letters?

Well, if she did, she didn't tell me.

But she would have mentioned it.

Well, not necessarily. Michelle was her own person.

Detective Chief Inspector Taggart will pull out all the snobs.

I will do all that is necessary.

That might not be good enough, Chief Inspector.

I'm not sure what you mean, sir.

Oh, you will, if you value your job.

Jack, I'd like to be on my own. Yes, I understand, Ian. There's a car waiting

for you outside.

Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Who does he think he is?

The man's upset, Jack.

Lucky for him.

Michelle Duncan was seen talking to Stratton at court.

Brian got the impression they knew each other.

Would she be having an affair?

With Stratton?

I doubt it.

You don't seem too sure.

Michelle's marriage to Ian was one of convenience.

He comes of a wealthy family with a great deal of clout in the legal world.

Michelle was always very ambitious.

She was in a great hurry to become a successful advocate.

You mean she would shack up with anyone?

Yes. If it would further her career.

I don't see how striking could further her career.

No.

Neither can I.

Don't talk to me.

But he'll never know.

No one's going to convict you.

Scaring people is one thing.

Durant knows what he's doing, Sean.

What if it all goes wrong, eh?

I should never have let you talk me into this.

You're looking at ten years.

There's no other way.

Trust me.

What you've got to worry about is Liz.

Liz wouldn't do anything to harm me. I wouldn't bet on it.

Look, leave Liz out of this. She's my problem.

Right?

Whatever you say.

How can O'Donnell wield so much power? After all, the man's only a jumped -up

cab proprietor. Couldn't even call him a petty villain a few months ago.

I'd like to know who he's brought in from the outside.

Yeah, but why Michelle Duncan?

We don't know there's a connection.

Well, whoever put the frighteners on it's had a desired effect.

Disrupted the trial.

Scared off witnesses.

Just make sure Liz hasn't been scared off.

Oh, damn it.

When am I going to get out of this bloody place?

So is it?

It's D .C. Reid.

Hi. How much longer do I have to stay here?

It's all yours.

Well, that's what I came to tell you. The trial will resume on Tuesday. Has it

occurred to you that I might be next on the list?

Well, we can't be certain that Michelle Duncan's death has anything to do with

O'Donnell. It's possible she could have disturbed someone. Like who?

Who are you trying to kid?

I'm not trying to kid anyone.

Look, Jackie, I like to enjoy myself.

And I like to get out of this godforsaken hole.

Well, listen, Liz.

I think you should keep your head down until Tuesday.

Sod off.

I'll call in some extra troops.

I don't want her getting out of the hotel.

Let's go home.

It's good, isn't it?

Depends what you mean. Good.

Personality.

Yeah?

Liz, how you doing, Sean? Liz, where the hell are you, love?

I'm not supposed to say.

Come on.

Sean, still love me?

Yeah, sure.

But come on, Liz, you're not going to do the business on me now, are you?

Look, there's a lot of pressure on me.

I'm all screwed up about things.

You, me.

God, you're a bastard, you know that, Sean?

I'm at a hotel.

The law's here. They brought in extra people today.

Just tell me where.

Sean, you wouldn't hurt me, would you?

There's nothing between us that can't be resolved.

I promise you.

I'm at the Marriott.

Room 630.

Right.

I'll get back to you somehow.

Just play them along.

We'll sort something out.

Liz?

Liz?

Go to your mind.

I should have put him in charge.

Who's cracking?

He's having a bath.

I've just made him a cup of tea.

Well, I'm glad someone's awake.

We've been on 48 hours. So what do you want, a medal?

This place should have been as tight as a drum.

The men were tired.

No bloody excuse.

How the hell did they get in?

Glass cutter. Bit of sticky tape.

Climbed a green pipe.

Yeah, spoke to the officer who was in the garden.

Never saw or heard anything.

How's Tony taking it?

I put him in the lounge.

Calm him down.

We'll go down and see him. About Tony, sir.

It didn't seem important at the time, but the other night he made a phone

Told his babysitter that he was phoning his girlfriend.

She used an outside phone.

Why did you let this happen?

You said we'd be safe.

You gave your word.

I'm sorry.

You think that's enough?

Who did you make the phone call to?

Phone call? What phone call?

What are you talking about?

The night you went to pick up that takeaway, you made a phone call.

Allegedly to your girlfriend?

Aye.

I'd like her name and number, please.

Wait a minute.

You think I'd set up my own father?

You tell me.

I can't believe that.

Who did you phone?

Come on, Tony.

You could have used the phone here.

I called O'Donnell.

But Dad wanted to make peace with him.

In the end, all this stupid violence.

What did O'Donnell say?

He wanted some kind of gesture.

Goodwill. Is that why your father refused to give evidence?

Aye.

I'm not going to let you drink yourself into an early grave.

What do you care?

When have you ever cared about me?

If I have to go away and Nicky comes out of hospital, she's going to need

someone to take care of her.

Now, I am not going to let her fall into the hands of some vodka sodden hag who

doesn't even know what day it is.

Why don't you just go?

Move in with her.

Just leave me.

I heard the noise.

Don't be a hurdle.

Fling every bottle of booze out of this place.

I'll make them coffee.

It was your fault.

It was you who introduced them to that bitch.

What bitch?

What bitch?

What bitch do you think I'm talking about?

Or is there more than one? If you're talking about Liz, that's all over.

Finished. You have no worries.

All over. Finished.

Is that what you think?

So why was he on the telephone to her last night?

Liz?

You must have made a mistake. He would have told me.

Sean does not tell you everything.

But he does know where she is.

She's at the Marriott.

Room 630.

Well, can't say it's empty. I've gone across.

Looks kind of familiar to me.

I think they all look the same.

Well, better get these out in the streets.

I could help in the kitchen, you know. I wouldn't be in the way.

Mum, just till you get on your feet.

It's very nice of you, Mrs. Taggart. I don't want to interfere.

Bill, come to that rescue, please.

I only wanted to help.

Mother always knows best.

Isn't that what they say, Jean?

There you are. I thought you were taking Bill to Jacob's great -grandfather's

house. Come on, Bill. I know when I'm not wanted.

Yeah, well, you shouldn't tell Fibs then, should you?

Yeah, and don't forget Bill's playing the piano at lunchtime.

There's been a change of plan.

I had her open the curtains.

You

staying

for lunch, Jim?

No.

No, I've got a call to make. Oh, be my guest.

Pub. Pub.

Restaurant. Anywhere else you think might get us an idea.

CID? Michael, is that you?

Yes, sir. Look, I want you to go down and see O'Donnell.

Time to scrub things up.

You know what I mean.

No problem, sir.

Okay. Willie, come on.

Let's go and stuff things up a bit.

You sure you won't join me?

They do a very good lasagna.

Morning. Sorry, we get held up in traffic.

Right, they're in room 630 on the sixth floor.

If you want me, I'll be back at the station.

Who is it?

What got in there?

I don't answer any questions unless my solicitor is present.

All right, lads, it comes down to that, will you?

All right.

What do you want?

What Peter Strachan wanted.

And then to the violence and killing.

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

Strachan's dead.

Strachan's dead?

And whoever it is you hired, it's just for the goat Liz.

Look, I swear I know nothing about this.

Tony tried to do a deal on behalf of his dad.

Yeah, yeah.

What did you tell him?

I don't know. I can't remember.

I think I rang off.

Listen, I don't know.

You'd better pull this man off that you've hired to do your dirty work

anyone else gets killed.

Strachan took half my business away, set fire to my cars, tried to kill my

daughter.

And I swore if it cost me everything I had... You'd what?

I'd get even.

But not this way.

I swear, not this way.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Using Nicky as an excuse to keep this idiotic war going on.

I really feel sorry for you, O'Donnell. You know that?

Come on, Willie.

Let's leave the man to his drink.

He's got something to celebrate.

Where are you going? I'll take my chances.

Look, this is surrealist. Where would you go? I don't care.

Anywhere. This is not a good idea.

Look, you're safe here. We can't... Say, who are you kidding?

Well, let's at least talk about it, eh?

Get out of my way.

Don't let her out of your sight.

I'm the law and the one for love.

What have I done? I told you to leave Liz out of this.

I did it for you.

For your own good, Sean. You don't need her.

Look, I know what I need. I don't need you telling me what to do, okay?

We're both on the same side here. What are you talking about? This is my

You do what I ask you to do. Not what you decide to do. What I ask you to do

what I tell you to do.

Okay?

None of your initiative. It's mine.

You do as you're told.

Get me to your rut.

Alison was a nurse, wasn't she?

We had high hopes.

Things don't always work out as you planned, Jean.

No.

What about you?

Me?

You're well educated.

This Bondi leech image doesn't fool me.

I studied sociology and music.

I walked out on my final year.

That was naughty.

What did your parents think of it?

They would have smacked my backside if they could have caught me.

They had a big plan for Dennis and me.

Dennis?

Yeah, Dennis. My older brother.

He stayed behind.

Come with?

To Australia.

Why don't you come home for supper tonight?

Michael.

Sir.

Door.

I've just had O'Donnell's solicitor on the phone.

What do you think you're playing at? It's against all the rules and

O'Donnell thinks he's untouchable, sir. You can't do this sort of thing. The

man's on bail.

With respect, sir, we've got two unsolved murders in our hands.

If we don't go around asking questions, then we'll be accused of not doing our

jobs. This is not the way to go about it.

You do not speak to O'Donnell unless his solicitor is present, and that is

final.

Yes, sir.

I've been searching all over this country.

We've got another chance.

I'll take you there.

Only don't mess it up this time.

What happened?

Did you lose your nerve or something?

We're the best of friends, really.

It's just not my day.

The trial resumes in two days.

If we don't track down this lunatic... There won't be any witnesses left to

evidence. Yeah, I know.

The idea, how can I help you?

Yeah.

OK, yeah, we'll be right down there.

Thanks.

Jackie.

I think we've just had a breakthrough.

Come on.

Jean -Pierre, this is the wrong order.

The garlic bread has got cheese topping.

How can you have salami? It's not even on the menu.

I am very sorry.

Alison, I need a hand in the bar. I can't do two things at once. Get Sophie

do that. That's what we pay her for, isn't it?

Dad.

You wouldn't like to do a bit of moonlighting, would you?

It's good as that, isn't it?

Better than we could have hoped for. We're just not geared up for it.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dad. I've got to go. Why don't you come home for a wee bite?

I don't know.

I remember when you used to do that.

Dad, I've got to go. Another time, perhaps.

Another time, perhaps.

We don't usually have a problem, you know.

We get a few youngsters that try it on now and again.

But that's all.

Are you sure this is the same man?

Aye. It's a good likeness.

And what about the other one?

I don't want to get involved.

Well, you are involved, whether you like it or not.

Liam Patrick.

One of O'Donnell's drivers.

Aye. Well, some say he's more than that.

How do you mean?

He thinks the sun shines out of O'Donnell's backside.

He gets jealous when others take an interest, if you know what I mean.

An interest?

Look, I've said too much.

With this cab warning thing's going on, it's not safe to be seen talking to your

people.

You, er... You didn't by any chance keep that broken bottle, did you?

I'll see.

Come on.

You know what? Take your boots off.

I paid you to cook, not nag.

Now I know why you never trained yourself a wife.

I was up at the early doors waiting on that damned poacher.

I think I deserve a rise.

It's the pick I don't want to, you know.

What's the matter?

You're not feeling well?

No.

I've several good ones here, Michael.

Shall we call Eamon?

He hasn't reported the incident?

He won't. Not the effort of her, ma 'am.

Have we enough there for an immediate search?

I'll need elimination prints.

Time.

Bye. I suppose you want pain?

I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

There you go.

Tears? No.

What about Friday night?

I think we've got a party coming in at about... Yeah, seven.

No.

We've arranged for some... Who?

That's okay.

Evenings are out anyway.

No.

Wait a minute.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's your problem, not mine. I know.

See you later.

Why? You hired him.

I'm firing him. We're partners.

We're to talk about things like this. I just don't like that book. I don't like

his attitude, his manner, his crude language. I promise you, Matt, if you

embarrass me again like that, you'll know what crude language is.

CID office, DC Reid.

I want to talk to somebody.

Sorry, could you speak up, please?

It's about the murders.

Miss Duncan and Mr Strachan.

I think I've got some information that might help.

When... When I was still in the army,

our relationship was perfect.

Perhaps because we had so much in common.

In spite of the difference in our years.

going to do?

When I left the army, we drifted apart very quickly.

The marriage became a hopeless mess.

Partly my fault.

And Michelle's career took up much of her time.

But believe me, Chief Inspector, I loved her.

Really?

In spite of her indiscretions, that was something I was willing to put up with.

What indiscretions?

I'm sure she had many lovers over the years.

Who were they? Do you know?

Her most recent, I believe, was her judo instructor.

Mr. Kennedy.

Aye, aye, aye.

Let's walk.

We were all in the army together.

Professional soldiers.

Miss Duncan and Strachan? Aye.

We were on reserve commitment.

What does that mean exactly?

Well, you can be called up at any time.

Like in a national emergency?

Aye. Last time was the Gulf.

You fought in the Gulf War?

Almost.

What do you mean, almost?

Well, we were put through a hasty induction course, given two weeks'

training, put on 24 -hour standby.

We were due to fly out that night.

Go on.

Well, we never left Glasgow.

There was a stand -down at the last minute. The order got cancelled.

And how did McDuncan crack him, I'm told?

Captain Duncan was the duty officer.

Stratton was the sergeant.

There was some trouble.

What kind of trouble?

I don't know. I think Strachan was involved.

Was Strachan and Duncan having an affair?

I don't know.

You're not holding something back, Mr Kennedy, are you?

I've told you all I know.

I thought it might be helpful.

Ah.

Duncan and Strachan were in the army together.

We think they were having an affair.

We'll give you that idea.

A man called Kennedy.

They're all part -time soldiers.

Mr. Target, sir.

Yes, Hamish. I've got an ident on these prints.

It's an old photograph from the Lansby murder trial back in 1980.

Now, Durant was one of many suspects.

He was eliminated almost immediately from the inquiry, but thankfully for us,

this photo remained on the file. Now, this is all I could put together over

telephone.

Joseph Durant.

alias Mike Spence, ex -SAS, who ensured at London 1952

convictions for attempted murder, armed robbery, assault, all to do with

protection gangs.

Last conviction, ten years for murder, served his sentence in a long linen

prison and was released a week ago.

A week ago?

Not everyone has a job waiting on them, sir.

Must have bucked the unemployment statistics for ex -cons, eh?

Last occasion, it took the Met four months to find him.

He'd been living wild in Buckinghamshire in a dugout foxhole.

A gamekeeper's dog sniffed him out, otherwise he would never have found him.

I want your aunt's photograph circulated to press and television.

And Jackie, get on the long line in prison.

I want to know who visited your aunt in the last few months.

I was just telling Bill Alison hasn't touched the piano since she was at

I like your daughter's choice of music.

She has good taste.

Aye.

Bill's staying for supper.

It was great, really,

something.

I thought haggis was completely different.

All shapes, guts and everything.

It's good wholesome food.

I've tasted better.

I'll get the coffee.

I

don't

want you.

to complicate Alison's life any more than it is.

I'm just passing through, Mr Taggart.

I can assure you that Alison doesn't enter into my plans in any way.

Good.

And please, let's keep it that way.

I've switched the coffee pot on. It won't take a few minutes.

Are you interested in the police force, Bill?

No.

I should imagine that the work makes you become very cynical.

You start to see only the worst in people.

Has your judgment started to become clouded after all these years, Mr.

I try to keep an open mind.

But not all policemen are like you, are they, Mr. Taggart?

That's why innocent people find themselves locked up for crimes that

never committed.

Because they spoke up for what they believe in stood up for what is right

I'll get it

I've walked out on that.

I've made a complete fool of myself

Allison

I'm sorry.

There's always a bed here for you, you know that?

I'm not sure about anything anymore.

Your mum and I will stick by you.

All we want is for you to be happy.

What happened to Bill?

Took him back last night.

Did he um did he say anything?

No, oh I'll sort things out. I promise

Hey

Come here, the other pig.

Jimmy, stop him off!

Sorry, sir. Did I wake you up?

Hello. I'm sorry.

I've made a fool of myself.

We shall study.

As it was always sacrosanct, even my entrance was frowned upon.

Your wife was called up for the Gulf War as a reservist?

Yes, she was.

And what about you, sir? I believe you were in the forces too?

Me? I was much too old for the Gulf.

My army days are restricted to boring reunions.

Did Michelle keep any records in her army service?

Records?

Military cases she may have been involved with.

I don't understand. Why would you want to look at her records?

We found a connection between your wife and Peter Strachan.

They were both called up to serve in the Gulf War.

Now, it may have nothing to do with her death, but, well, it's something we have

to look into.

Well, you'll find papers in there.

But please, could you put things back as you find them?

Michelle was...

Very strict about that.

Inside. Come on.

He's about... Who?

The poacher.

I just found some more rabbits near.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's camping out in the

woods.

The barber of Nesdale Road, Pollock Shields, was trapped by the crushing

mechanism at the rear of his lorry.

The police say there are no suspicious circumstances.

Mr. Barber's wife is being comforted by relatives.

The weather outlook for the next 24 hours... You see, when your kids reach a

certain age, they're off your hands.

Don't you believe that?

If you're interested,

Durant was inside with Danny McAllister.

McAllister was a friend of Liam's brother.

Okay.

Terry Patrick?

Maybe this is the link we've been looking for.

That is, if you're interested.

I'm waiting for a fax from Long Lane in prison.

What do you mean, if I'm interested?

Your mind seems to be on other things, Jim.

It hasn't gone unnoticed.

Is it a domestic problem?

I'm doing my job, sir.

Well, my door's always open, you know that.

Got court -martial papers here.

Cases of McDuff, Jones, Pilar.

Some of these go back too far.

Better check them out all the time.

Here's one on desertion.

Don't they shoot you for that?

Aye, and for talking too much.

Here we go.

Company orders regarding Desert Storm.

The planning meetings.

The difficult meetings.

No support.

Sergeant Peter Strachan.

Corporal Derek Kennedy.

It's going to take us months to get through anything.

No, it won't.

Have you found what you were looking for?

Sir, eight of these names have been underlined in red ink.

Why would Michelle do that?

Well, they're obviously of some significance.

Yes, but what?

Should we get back to Target with this information, then? Aye, watch me check

out something else first.

More to satisfy his curiosity than anything else.

Where the hell do I start?

Don't go upsetting him, Michael.

Mr Friel.

CID.

Only chance I get to practice before the students from the college come in.

You'll know why we're here, Mr Friel.

Aye.

Wondering why it took you so long.

You were having an affair with Michelle Duncan.

Is that a statement or a question?

Do you mind telling us about it?

Well, you couldn't really call it an affair.

Michelle had a sexual appetite that was hard to satisfy.

Very physical.

Strong -willed woman. She used men as if they were... Dunno.

Disposable?

Aye.

Disposable.

Michelle Duncan loved Michelle Duncan.

The only person she ever truly had an affair with. Do you know who her other

sexual partners were?

One thing about Michelle, she was always discreet.

Thank goodness.

Do you know of anyone who would want to kill him?

All ambitious people have enemies, don't they?

Taggart.

Jim. Oh, hello, Steve.

Look, there's one here I think you should see.

I'll be right along.

Well, thanks very much for all your help.

I don't think there's any more questions we need to ask you, did you?

I'm happy to cooperate.

There's nothing to hide.

One final question, Mr. Shrews.

You ever in the army?

Me? In the army?

Certainly not. I'm a partisan.

A dustman. His name is Stuart Barber.

Should have been Humpty Dumpty.

I must admit I had quite a job finding which bit belonged where.

Quite a puzzle, Jim.

A never -dead master of the Rubik's Cube?

How did it happen?

Mangled up in the back of his own refuse wagon.

I was inclined to think it was an accident until about half an hour ago.

Wire embedded in the neck.

With all the blood and bits and pieces, it was not surprisingly missed.

Do we know anything about him?

Married, three kids, tattoo in his arm.

I think it's his arm.

Yes, right forearm.

Do you want to go home with it?

I would say he was in the army at one time.

A soldier?

This was in his pocket.

This army connection.

It seemed to be getting further away from O'Donnell.

Maybe someone's trying to confuse us.

Yeah.

Sergeant Jordan, pick up Chief Inspector Taggart from the mortuary.

We now have two bodies on Michelle's list.

A dustman and a cab proprietor.

Both on reserve to go to the Gulf.

What if he and Duncan underlined those names and not Michelle?

Why?

A hit list.

Perhaps they were all Michelle's lovers.

Kennedy, Michelle's lover?

He'd have more fun with his sheep.

Well, if what Friel told us is true, I mean the way Michelle treated men.

Am I missing out on something here?

According to Friel, Michelle was some kind of sexual athlete.

The only love affair she had was with herself.

I can believe that old thing.

Carson Stewart.

How do I know that name?

You can't say a word that I want to know when you're with another man.

Do you love me?

Darling, I will understand.

But you're sweeping a little closer to the phone.

Let's pretend that we're together all alone.

Oh, love is blind.

Make up your mind.

I've got to love.

Shall I hang up or will you? you tell him you have to go?

Should I hand or will you tell him he's got to go?

Hi. Well, you know what they say, Dave.

Don't call us, we'll call you.

That's right.

Good luck, son.

Hey, Dave.

Mr. Stewart.

I'm sorry, I've got all the acts I can handle.

Unless you can play guitar.

This is one act that you can't book.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Aye.

Step this way.

Van will look after you, Lev. Be back in a minute.

I barely know the others.

We're thrown together.

Unfit, undisciplined, totally unprepared to go to war.

Can you tell us why those particular names are underlined? No.

You don't sound very sure.

The names mean nothing to me.

You must have read about their deaths in the newspaper.

I only read showbiz publications.

NME, that kind of thing.

My entire life revolves around music.

Look, as I've said, we were thrown together.

Two weeks intensive training. We barely got the chance to know each other.

Never in a million years did I think I'd ever get called up.

Remember a man called Kennedy?

Farmer? No.

Should I? He said there was trouble.

Strachan was involved.

I can't remember.

He must have struck up a friendship with somebody.

One of them must have been a country and western fan.

I mean, I've even heard about Carlton Stewart.

The name's Carlton.

Okay.

There was one guy.

His name was Fallon.

Schoolteacher.

His name's not on your list.

He committed suicide the night we were due to leave for the Gulf.

Why?

Since he left the army.

He's become older, wiser, more sensitive.

I don't know, his views on life have changed.

Changed? Surely we all change as we get older.

It's all part of growing up.

Adult policemen grow up.

What way did he change?

Fallon couldn't face the thought of killing a fellow human being.

You mean he was a conscientious object?

Aye. That's why he committed suicide?

Threw himself off the balcony.

Look, I'd like to spend all day chatting, but I've got more auditions to

if you'll excuse me.

How well did you know Michelle Duncan?

Michelle who?

Captain Duncan.

Captain Duncan?

Didn't know her name was Michelle.

She was your captain, wasn't she?

No.

She was the duty officer on the night of Fallon's suicide.

Would she have been in charge of this business of Fallon not wanting to go to

war? Aye.

I believe she presented the case at the coroner's court.

Look, I'd like to help you, but... We'll be in touch.

Hey, Mr Stewart.

Could I have your autograph?

It's for my mum.

I'm sure he's holding something back.

Seemed like a nice guy to me.

I don't want to be going down the wrong road, losing touch with O'Donnell in

this damned trial.

Maybe we're dealing with two separate killings, sir.

Was there any papers in Michelle's cabinet dealing with this Fallon

No.

Take me back to the station.

You two, go and pick up Kennedy. Bring him in. See what he knows about this

fallen business.

What are you doing here?

Well? We're all in reserve with Michelle for the Gulf.

For some reason, she's underlined eight of the soldiers' names.

We think it's got something to do with a suicide.

Really, sir?

Yeah, a conscientious objector named Fallon.

And what has this to do with the cab wars?

Oh, we don't know that it is.

And what are we doing about the others on the list?

I've arranged for them all to be traced and interviewed, sir.

It's important that this should be cleared up before the trial restarts.

If there is any connection, we... Sir, that's the facts from Long Lennon

Durant had only one visitor in the last few months.

Saw him three times, the last time a week before he was released.

Well... You're not going to believe this, sir.

Jackie, I don't have the time.

Liz Gilbraith?

And what does she think she's playing?

Exactly.

We'd better put Jim in the picture about this.

Mr Kennedy about?

He's over in the stable.

On you go.

What, you're not frightened, are you?

No.

Mr Kennedy?

Mr

Kennedy?

Once again, you don't need a degree in forensic science to establish the cause

of death.

Isn't this happening a bit too often, Jackie?

And he's been killed by the same method.

Yes.

Getting rather tedious, wouldn't you say?

He didn't see or hear anything.

No.

He was good.

He was good to me.

Have you had any visitors, Winnie?

Phone calls?

No.

Have you been troubling him recently?

Aye. But he wouldn't talk about it.

And then there was a poacher.

Poacher? What poacher?

He found rabbit snares in the woods.

This morning he said that... I'm sorry.

I can't help it.

I'm going to miss him.

What did Mr Kennedy say?

About what?

The poacher.

He said he thought someone was camping out in the woods.

Over. Will do. Over and out.

I want those woods over there thoroughly set for Durant. I could take these.

Weak. I haven't got the manpower.

Don't argue. Just do it.

Yes, sir.

No, sir. Three bags full, sir.

Yes. Liz?

It's time we met up.

Had a little chat.

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You scared the life out of me, Sean. Do you know that?

I... I just need some time to think.

Look, Liz, don't go sorry on me now.

I need you.

Yes. I've got to go.

I've got a nasty feeling about her, Sean.

You're going to have to do something about her.

She's the only thing that stands between you and freedom.

Who's there?

Tim Tiger.

Come in.

Look, Liz, don't tell me any more lies.

What lies?

Durant.

The man's a murderer.

How could you do that?

Don't bully me.

Why didn't you tell us?

Tell you what?

That you went to visit Durant in prison.

I haven't.

Liz, your name was on his application form.

Liam said Durant was lonely.

Hadn't any visitors in months.

His wife left him.

It was a favour.

So now you're a social worker, as well as a liar. It's the truth.

You put a deal in behalf of Gerante O'Donnell.

Now, what was the deal?

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

People are being killed out there.

Well, that's nothing to do with me.

Oh, look.

I have got enough evidence.

To charge you of perverting the course of justice.

I'll give evidence against O'Donnell. I said I'd do that. I'm not going back on

that. Now, please, leave.

Leave!

Kathy, I want those glasses polished and on the bar yesterday.

I want you to

leave.

I don't want you hanging about here anymore.

Whatever happened to... Hi, Bill, you well? Had a good day?

Stay away from Alison.

You've got nothing to worry about, pal.

I'm leaving anyway.

But why she wants to hang around with a dead sheet like you, I got no idea.

Oh, have I come at the wrong moment?

Bill, I've spoken to a friend who says that when she was a child, there was a

family of Hamiltons lived near Queen's Park.

They owned a bakery.

Now, that fits in with some of the information you gave me.

I'm going across there now. Would you like me to check it out for you?

Sorry, Jean.

I've just been given my marching orders.

What if she goes bent on you?

With what she knows?

She wouldn't do that.

You can't be sure.

You've got to do something, Sean. Women can be spiteful, vindictive.

What is it with you?

We've been friends a long time, Sean.

I wouldn't know what to do if you were banged up for a long stretch.

Okay.

But I don't want our harm to you here.

Just skirt a little.

Of course.

Now, Liam.

If anything happens to her, don't you bother coming back.

I didn't get any grandpapa's seat. We're going to drop him off later on.

Where is Bill?

Um, he's not coming in this afternoon.

I don't understand.

He said he'd do lots of times a day.

I told him I didn't want him anymore.

Tell me I'm not hearing this.

He's screwing up our relationship, Alison.

Ever since he came on the scene... You've got to be kidding!

Look, you need to think of a damn about you.

No blokes like that. Phil is a nice guy. I like him. That's the end of it.

There's nothing to be jealous about.

Other people notice what they think.

Matt.

Running a wine bar is all about socialising.

A smile here, a smile there. If this is going to happen every single time I

smile at someone... Then we're better off without him. That's what you think.

Oh, I get it.

You want me to do the little woman bit, is that it?

Right then. If you want me, I'll be in the kitchen. You can down there on the

wine bar on your own.

Alison. Go to hell.

Don't play a rubber ghost, Tony, son.

Never a big voice.

You better come in.

I'm going to destroy you, O'Donnell.

Just as you destroyed my dad.

Just give me a break, son, will you?

I didn't destroy your dad.

It was you who destroyed him.

It's all falling into place for me now.

It was you.

It was you that wiped out Nicky that night, wasn't it?

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

What is it with you kids, huh?

All these months I've been blaming your dad for escalating this bloody war.

All along it was you.

Put it away.

I love Nicky.

I know.

With an accident, I swear.

Well, it's too late for recriminations now.

What are we going to do then?

Well, for a start, give me the gun.

Tony, son, you're not a gangster.

Neither am I.

Now come on, before it's too late.

Thank you.

What happened?

Put it in the car.

Sean knew I wouldn't give evidence against him. Somebody's changed his

Who did this?

I've been so bloody stupid.

Who?

Durant.

Liam persuaded Sean to get an outsider in to do his dirty work.

He told him about Durant getting out of prison.

Well, where did he get that information?

Liam's brother.

It was, um... It was... It was...

It was Liam who arranged for me to go and see Durant. I was to offer him 10

,000. To frighten off the witnesses. I mean, he wasn't supposed to kill

How did Durant get in here?

Sean has a key.

Laz.

Don't worry.

We'll get them.

I'll go through with it this time.

I promise.

Let it go for a while.

Okay. Any luck?

Well, I tracked down two. I'm sure they were hiding something.

Tony and O'Donnell?

You're joking.

I wanted to scare off Sean's drivers.

I made the phone call, asking to be picked up outside the telephone box in

Condalas Road.

I didn't know Nicky was driving the cab.

All I saw was the O'Donnell sign on the door.

You operated the crane?

Aye.

I swear I didn't know it was Nicky in the cab.

What about this?

Where's Liam?

More than likely on his way back to Ireland.

I thought he was loyal to you, you right -hand man.

He was jealous of Liz.

I can't explain. He was just... Liam's a strange sort of a fella, you know.

Possessive. And you encouraged him?

No.

No.

So...

How do we find your aunt?

Yes, could I speak to Bill Hamilton, please?

Well, do you know where he is?

I see.

Checked out. OK, thanks very much.

No.

No, no, it's not important. I just wanted to say goodbye.

When Strangham went out in his own, Tony started saying Nicky.

I didn't approve.

But the war between us certainly got worse after her accident.

TD started hitting the bottle.

The world was closing in around me.

I just wanted to get my own back.

Come in.

Sorry to disturb you, sir. There's something you should see.

You two are going down for a long time.

And I'll let you burn in hell.

These are photographs of the wire ligatures that killed Duncan, Strachan,

Kennedy and Barber.

So what am I looking for here? The wire is identical.

The ends cut by the same instrument.

So what is our proof?

We find a hardware shop that sold these and go on from there.

No, sir.

Either than that.

If you want wire like that, sir, you don't go to a hardware shop.

Go to a music shop.

Guitar strings.

The bloody guitar strings.

She had left him lost and broken Like no other had

before And his heart was just a token

Of all the pain it had in view

And his memories were clouded with all the hurtful things she'd said.

Yes, for all intent and purpose, he might just as well be

dead.

And some people claim they still hear him call her name.

Just that thing.

Deep in the night, oh, sometimes right at dawn.

See, his body died some years ago, but round here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.

Oh, yes, his body died some years ago, but round here Mr. Johnson's love lives

on.

Why would Carlson Stewart tell Michelle Duncan?

Suicide. What was the guy's name?

Fallon. Aye.

Fallon.

God, I have to realise something.

I must be the first police officer to have asked a murder suspect for his

autograph.

Great. You're on.

All we need to know is when you can start.

We've got Birmingham, Manchester, one night gig in London.

Six week tour of the Netherlands.

I didn't get your other name, Bill.

Fallon.

The name's Fallon.

Dennis's brother.

He wrote to me, remember?

Listen, I wrote to you because I wanted you to know the truth. What really

happened?

He labelled him a coward.

That was a mistake.

Bill, you've got to understand.

We were all keyed up, ready to go to war.

It was Captain Duncan's idea.

I swear, you've got to be...

Alan told me his younger brother had a mental problem.

I didn't know he was psychotic.

He wrote to him.

He gave him the names.

A man has to do what a man has to do.

Go to the West.

You're full of bullshit.

Do you know that?

Come and see the show, Mr. Tiger.

Bring the family.

Give me a minute, Michael.

Oh, Nicky, I'm still thinking of you.

And I remember all the little things you used to do.

Just lately, I've been reminiscing.

I've been missing your kisses. I just can't get about you.

Oh, honey, come on through.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Every new move, piece of this old heart dies.

I can't go on.

There's only emptiness without you.

And I just can't hold back on these lonesome tears from my eyes.

Oh, Nick, yeah.

I'm still thinking of you.

And I remember all the little things you used to do.

Just lately, I've been reminiscing.

And I just can't hold back on these lonesome tears from my eyes.

And I just can't hold back on these loads of tears from the night.
