Let me see my baby.

Take the child away, nurse.

Let me see her. Let me see my baby.

Time to go Susan.

I'll go on my own. It'll look less obvious that way.

You can get up.

You're free of them now.

I wish.

Things will work out all right, Susan.

I'm sure.

The newspapers can't put you back inside.

They can keep me a prisoner.

Come on.

Your sister will be waiting.

Good luck soon.

I couldn't have seen it through without you.

Thanks.

Prison won't be the same.

Hello, Susan.

Well, no more home leave.

How does it feel?

Strange. I'm afraid we can't take you back straight away.

Not until the publicity's died down.

But we found you a nice flat.

It's only ten minutes away from us.

It's near the shops.

And you're a probation officer?

Yes.

We met her the other day, didn't we, Peter?

She seems very nice.

I want to see Pauline.

Colleen doesn't want you to contact her Susan.

Not for a while anyway.

She's my daughter.

It's to protect Alice.

From what?

Does she think I'm going to eat her?

We took it for a month.

Until the publicity died down.

You don't have to keep reminding me.

We stocked the fridge for you.

When things are a bit calmer, you can come back and stay with us, eh?

When do you go to the state?

In about three months.

Pauline, and that husband of hers too?

I made Alan a business partner, Susan.

We're all going.

Alice as well.

When we've gone, they'll help you find alternative accommodation, even work.

There's that very good charity that helps ex -prisoners resettle. I know.

They came to see me.

They were pleased I still had you.

Why don't you wait in the car, then?

I want you to have this.

It'll help you.

Thanks, Al.

What's the sister for?

Yeah.

All my life, you've lived... taking things away from me.

I locked our daughter, I locked my freedom, and I locked you to Eleanor.

Please don't take Alice away from me.

Not before I've ever even met her.

It was Pauline's decision.

Sorry, Susan, but the truth is... Pauline doesn't want anything to do with

Morning. All right.

Heavy night, Stuart?

Morning, sir.

What's her name, then?

Jamie.

Sounds nice.

He is.

I find it hard to keep up with him, though.

He's a bit of an all -night clubber.

Wait a minute.

Are you winding me up?

No, sir.

I think it's best to be open when asked a direct question.

You've never told me before.

You never asked.

Don't worry, Robbie.

You're not his type.

Too old.

Too old?

Too old for what?

Why don't you ask him?

Good afternoon.

And welcome to the longest underwater safari in the world.

One million gallons of water flow through the tank per day into five

Hello, Pauline.

Hi, Alice.

From the shallows of a kelp forest to the depth of an abyss... Hey, my dad.

...we have the largest collection of sand tiger sharks in Europe.

Hi there.

How was school today?

Okay.

Grandpa's in the exhibition hall.

Why don't you go up and see him?

He'll show you the new seahorses.

Why don't you just say you want rid of me, so you can talk about Grandma?

You see, when they're mating, they use their prehensile tails to hold on to

other.

And then the young will be hatched and the males brood pouched.

Did you go on loving, Grandma?

After she killed those children?

You ask too many questions.

I just wondered.

It was a long time ago.

I don't really remember at all.

Come on, I'll show you the sharks.

Go away from me!

Go away from me!

Go away from me!

Morning,

ladies.

Have you heard?

We've got a celebrity downstairs.

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Susan Keller.

She was brought in last night for her own protection.

Just to put her up in the flat, but best followed her.

What exactly have you got over there?

One bag.

Just one bag?

We're going to have to sit down and talk about where you're going to be staying.

How many people did you kill again?

Five.

Three children and their parents.

Why?

She was the family babysitter.

And they gave her the sack for mistreating the children.

So she set fire to the house.

Out of spite.

Come on, Steve, not an exhibit.

You all right?

I just had to see you, that's all.

Send her out!

Send her out!

Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send

out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out!

her out! Send her out!

Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out!

Send her out! Send her out!

Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send her out! Send

out! Send her out!

Send her out!

God boys, now please.

Can't stay here forever.

It's been four days now.

What am I to do?

My sister won't have me in her own house.

My daughter won't talk to me.

We've received an anonymous letter offering you a safe haven.

Any idea who it might be from?

I've no idea.

This charitable individual turns up in the middle of the night and tortures the

place with her in it, like she did to those kids. It's a trap.

The men.

The property's leapt for six months through a letting agency.

Graham Gilmore of Pitt Street.

The letty's name is... What?

Letty. One who let.

The name's... Mrs Henrietta Cunningham.

Her contact address is false, which leads me to believe her name is too.

Six months paid in advance.

Get the local boys to check out the place.

Aye, make sure it doesn't blow up when she puts the key in the front door.

Already have, sir.

There's only one other property for about a mile, and it's about 100 yards

I've been on to the parole board, and they're happy about it if we are.

Outside this room, and her immediate family, the location remains a secret.

I want you three to be responsible for her protection.

Why? That's Uniform Brant's job.

Because that's it, though. That's why, Rob.

Jackie, I want you to stay with Susan Keller's side.

And you two, try chatting up the owner of the other property.

I want you an observation.

Aye, great fun.

Well, if Susan Keller walks out of here and gets murdered, you'll be spending

much more time investigating it, won't you?

Sir.

What's wrong, Jackie?

I was five years old.

We lived on the next street.

My best friend was one of the Kerr family.

We started school together.

Lizzie was her name.

Five years old.

I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

There was no such thing as trauma counselling in those days.

You just had to put it behind you and forget.

I'll find someone else.

Although, I don't think you did put it behind you.

Or forget.

I just didn't speak about it.

It's not the same thing.

Maybe there's no better person for the job.

do you know who might be behind this?

In prison you gain lots of admirers.

People write to you and propose marriage.

I suppose you find that thick.

You think?

We had a piano at the prison.

I used to play at Christmas parties.

Do you have a first name?

Jackie.

I don't think you volunteered for this job, did you, Jackie?

Roswell, you can tell me what it's about.

I'd like to be Mrs Davidson, but I can't.

Something to do with drugs?

No, nothing to do with drugs.

Vice, then.

You'd be?

Well, if there's anything I can get you boys, just say.

Uh -huh. I'm sure they'll think of something.

Since my husband died, it's been lonely here.

He must have died very young.

He was a lot older than me.

He was a farmer.

Are you allowed to drink on duty?

Not officially, and him not at all.

So, the equipment's ready.

I'll leave you boys to your business then.

I'll be in the next room if you want me.

The merry widow.

As long as she's not the gay one.

Hey, Stuart.

What you're reading?

Oh, I've read that one.

I've read all of hers.

You must have had lots of time then.

Do you have children?

I'm not married.

That surprises me.

Something's eating you up inside, isn't it?

I wonder what it is.

Tell me, do you think I'm as black as they paint?

I've got no feelings in the matter.

Oh, yes, you do, Jackie.

You're just like all the rest of them.

You believe in the monster.

And now you're confronted with a real human being and you can't separate them.

I'm just doing my job.

I wasn't cruel to the children in that house.

The father put that about as an excuse for firing me.

He tried to get me into bed.

I said no.

He was scared I'd tell his wife.

I set light to that house to get back at him.

Not to kill those children.

Even though you knew they were asleep in the same house?

I was a teenager.

How many consequences did you think of at that age?

If you don't mind me, Killer, I think I'll turn in.

I want to go into town tomorrow.

Will you take me?

I'm not your chauffeur.

Fraser?

Yeah.

I'll get him for you.

Yes, Stuart?

That's Jackie.

Jackie?

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

No. No. No problem.

And I'll jerk the man for the job.

You wouldn't by any chance be wanting rid of me, sir?

Get in the minutes, mate.

Wait for me.

Yes, ma 'am.

Your hair wants cutting.

There. You all look wonderful.

Okay, let's go and get changed.

Mum.

Hello, Pauline.

What are you doing here?

I want to see you.

It's my place of work, Mum, so could we talk later?

Get off writing your precious customers away.

Mum, this is difficult.

I want to know why you stopped writing, stopped visiting.

Eighteen home leave weekends I had, and you and Alan managed to be away for

every single one of them.

It wasn't planned. It was just the way things happened.

Let me see Alice.

She's only 14, Mum. We don't want to get her involved. Look, I love you, and I

want to love Alice too.

Love. Do you know what it was like?

Being told at 16 that Aunt Eleanor wasn't my mother.

That you were.

Do you know what I've been through since then?

Well, it was fun for me too.

Alice is going to school in Cape Cod.

Alan and Dad are opening up another aquarium there.

I know.

I wish I could go too.

Don't. Being on life licence makes that impossible.

I expect you've considered that.

Now run!

Now run!

Alice.

Alice, get through to the back of the shop, now.

Alice, will you go through to the back of the shop and wait for me now?

Don't go after her, Mum.

Don't.

I wish I'd smothered you at birth.

Home? I want to go shopping.

A fast one, time for dinner.

Hello?

Anybody there?

Here comes the executioner.

Off with her head. Off with her head.

Welcome.

Why, is a raven like a writing desk?

Hello there, Michael.

Stephen.

You should have asked me if I wanted some wine.

I said not on the job.

Where's your team?

Another duty.

You know who she is?

Her name's Pauline Buchanan. She's Susan Keller's daughter.

Good job the blade wasn't real.

Could have been unpleasant.

Time of death?

Between 6 and 6 .30.

I take it this is the murder weapon?

I don't suppose the motor will give you too much of a problem either.

Why do you say that?

Haven't you seen the evening edition?

According to that, her daughter's offered her a part -time job here.

All part of the service.

Have you guessed the riddle yet?

Goodbye.

Right, girls, let's move along now. Come on. Move along.

I always called her after work.

I found her lying there.

She was stillborn.

Do you know how this story got into the paper?

It's possible someone read it.

This took Pauline, but her mother.

There is a routine question I have to ask you.

Were you on good terms with your wife?

Of course I was on good terms with her.

We were going to live in the States.

Take Alice with us away from that.

I've never been free of her.

Even though she was inside, she was always there.

What the hell did they let her out for?

What kind of terms was your wife on with her mother?

She stopped visiting her six years ago, but it was affecting her, mentally.

She's a killer, a manipulative woman.

It was as much for Alice's sake as ours.

And where is Alice?

With my father -in -law.

Her grandfather.

Sir? Yeah?

We have a witness.

That the victim and her mother were having a row just an hour before the

Okay, thanks.

That's your zoom. Mm -hmm. And that's your focus.

Can I see? Uh -huh.

God, it's heavy, isn't it?

We've missed you. Yeah, we thought you'd got lost.

New tie.

It was the present.

Oh, look.

It's a Mr Smiley happy tie.

Very appropriate.

And... I bought you this.

Miss Keller... Don't say thank you. Just call me Susan.

I thought that would suit you.

Do you read?

Jackie.

Someone's murdered Susan Keller's daughter.

Jackie?

Are you there?

When? About two hours ago.

According to a witness, Susan Keller was here.

Michael, the company better know.

She's not a predator.

She's free to come and go if she wants.

Who drove her?

I did, sir.

She asked D .S. Reid, but D .S. Reid refused.

I asked D .I. Roth as a device, sir, and he suggested Stuart.

What time did you get there?

About four o 'clock, sir.

How long was she inside?

Ten minutes, sir, no longer.

Then what?

I took her shopping.

Shopping? To the Saint Enoch Centre.

Did you go in with her?

Carry her bags, perhaps?

No, sir, I waited in the car.

Like I said, sir, she's not a prisoner.

We're supposed to protect her, not give her a 24 -hour guard.

Fraser, how long was she out of your sight?

About an hour and three quarters, sir.

You do realise, Fraser, it's against regulations to accept gifts?

I never get anything.

Are you accusing me of killing my daughter?

What was the row about?

She wouldn't let me see my granddaughter.

Her witness says you threatened his mother, or...? Your witness heard

wrong.

Did you go back to the shop to carry out the threat to kill her?

I didn't come out of prison. Do you think I want to go back there?

She was my own flesh and blood. Do you know what that means?

Then we're left with the theory that Pauline was killed by mistake.

That you were the intended victim.

How did such a false story get into the paper?

You're new.

You've failed papers, whether it's true or not.

I want to see her.

The family don't want you to.

The family.

I'm her mother.

Miss Keller, you mentioned admirers.

Proposals of married in Britain.

Can you give us any name?

Remember the guy who shot John Lennon?

He did it because he was an ardent fan, not because he had a grudge against him.

So why this word first?

Read that.

Mr

Martin?

Yes. D .I. Ross, this is D .C. Fraser, Maryhill Police Station. Could we come

and have a wee talk for you?

What about?

It concerns Susan Keller.

The letters that you wrote to her in prison.

It's a bit inconvenient. I'm sorry.

I'll only take a couple of minutes.

No, I'm sorry. Goodbye.

Mr Martin.

We could get a warrant, but we'd rather not do it that way.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Eh, no thanks.

No, it's, er... It's down this way.

So, er... How many letters did you write to Susan Keller?

About half a dozen.

Think again, Mr Martin.

Where did you get these?

She gave them to him.

So about an hour ago, sir, wasn't it?

Ah, that's right.

But there's nothing wrong with what I did.

Of course not, Mr Martin.

People write to sports personalities, film stars all the time.

I mean, my colleague here used to write to take that.

Would you like to see the letters that Susan wrote to me?

Ah.

We'd like that very much.

By the way, Phil, it was Boyd, though.

Are

you

going to check him out, Sherlock?

Susan was very supportive.

My wife had just left me, you see. She helped me through a very difficult

period. Could I use your toilet, please?

Yeah, it's just down there.

You, uh... I just feel you, uh...

Is this some sort of biological experiment?

Yes, well, you could call it that. Sir, come and see this.

Oh.

Wait a minute.

You've no right to go in there, you know.

No right at all.

No, please.

Please.

Mr Martin.

You really like her, don't you?

Why were you between 6 and 6 .30 last night?

I don't have to answer these questions.

I know my rights.

I used to be a special constable, you know.

You can make it difficult, or you can make it unpleasant.

Now, which is it to be?

So, Ronald, this one's for you.

Have you made any attempt to contact her since she got out?

Could I?

I don't know where she is.

You, er, proposed to her in one of your letters and she turned you down.

What am I being accused of here?

Someone tried to kill her last night.

That person took the life of somebody else instead.

Kill her?

Why?

Could it be something to do with the fact that she killed three innocent

children and a parent?

Susan's a good woman.

She's got a good heart.

She took a degree in the humanities, you know.

Doesn't that mean something?

You brought Pauline up, Mr and Mrs McNair?

Yes.

Old baby.

Was she your natural daughter?

Yes.

I was a university student at the time, and Susan and I were...

I actually committed that awful crime and...

I married Eleanor.

Do you have any other children?

I've never been able to have children.

When did she find out that you weren't a real mother?

When she was 16.

We told her.

She began visiting Susan in prison.

We gave her a lot of problems, you know, emotional, psychological ones.

Then she met Alan and... well, with a child of their own.

But she decided it was best for Alice.

They kept her apart.

The, uh... The journalist that ran this story said that the information came

from a member of the family.

That's impossible.

Can, uh... Can I talk to Alice?

I was in the shop when I came in yesterday.

That Grandma wouldn't hurt Mum, she wouldn't.

I know that, Alice.

People want to send her back to prison.

I don't.

Alice.

Why did you go to the newspapers with this story?

You did give it to them, didn't you?

When? Two days ago.

Why, Alice?

I hoped that if it was in the newspapers, then Mum might be forced to

Give Grandma a job.

They wouldn't let her live here.

You? You told them?

I didn't mean to do anything wrong.

You're all being so horrible to Grandma.

I did it for her.

I'm sorry I had to break that to you.

They listened to a child.

I never had the opportunity to be a mother to Pauline.

I knew so little about her.

I don't even know what kind of music she liked.

Why don't you stop babysitting me and go and look for the one who killed her?

We are looking, Miss Taylor.

Jackie.

Jackie Reed.

The name just came back to me.

There was a young girl.

You had to come round and play at the car house.

Her name was Jackie Reed.

She was five.

Why didn't you say?

There seemed no point.

And they gave you this job?

No, Miss Keller. I asked for it.

But I won't be here after tomorrow. Somebody else will be taking my place.

Oh, what a pity.

Just as we were starting to get on as well.

Good night, Jackie.

Good night, Susan.

Are you sure your colleague can manage?

Oh, yeah.

Only takes one pair of eyes, eh?

We could go upstairs.

Ah.

You should get strict instructions not to leave this post.

No!

There's an assassin!

I need this.

I'm sorry!

Jackie! He's a ghost!

How do you keep it so secret, Harriet?

Think about it. If I give them my real name and the press have found out,

they'll be after the both of us.

When did you get out?

Three weeks ago.

Oh, where?

Harriet was a prison officer at Bohaliwood.

That's right.

Was.

Jackie thought you were coming here to kill me.

Weren't you charged because you tried to help Susan escape?

Yes, that's right.

I've got to find out.

And I did four years.

You shouldn't have done this for me.

Why?

Four years haven't changed the way I feel.

I played comfortably enough for you. Why?

Thanks for the piano.

Pleasure. So you're all ready, stroke of luck.

Susan will not need you now.

But thanks for your efforts.

So, what kept him?

At the time, they had forged passports, new identities, plane tickets.

They were going to get to Brazil together.

That's devotion for you.

Though Harriet Bell seemed keener to see Susan than Susan was to see her.

That's the other thing.

It means you two can go on with the investigation.

I don't think I should keep a lookout, sir. Just in case.

As long as the location remains secret.

What have we got in this man's cell?

He was only survived by the fire ten years old when it happened.

Still lives in the play.

Campaigned over the years for her never to be released.

I'd have thought you had an obvious suspect then.

Oh, Stuart, your quick reactions last night have been noted.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, by the way, this house you're using, any problems with the occupant?

Hey, no, sir.

She's an elderly widow. Glad of the company.

Don't know why he didn't just pull it down.

Maybe he doesn't want to forget.

30 years is a long time to want to remember.

Look, sir, I didn't tell him anything.

I believe you.

I'd also like to think I can trust you, Stuart.

Let's just say you owe me one, sir.

Like you owe Jackie one.

This is private property.

You're trespassing. Now get out.

I'm investigating a murder, Mr Kerr.

I know what you're investigating.

I read the papers.

What makes you think I'd be so stupid as to kill the wrong person?

I don't suppose your job's very easy when you've got so many potential

It's made more difficult when people refuse to help.

Like you helped her.

By protecting her for four days.

That's not you in the crowd.

Could you shut the door?

Do you live here? What does it look like?

An engineer?

That's the Perak Dam in Malaysia.

I worked over there for three years.

I've been all over the world.

Said I'd never come back, but I did.

Been back for eight years now.

Would you mind telling us where you were between 6 and 6 .30 on Tuesday night?

Can't remember.

I remember where I was 30 years ago.

Can't forget that, can I?

Go on, take a good look.

That's Peter.

He'd be 44 now. A scientist he was going to be.

That's Ricky.

He'd be 42.

A racing driver.

Puts you in a perspective, doesn't it?

Mr Kerr, we know how much you've suffered.

Do you?

But the woman who died yesterday committed no crime.

Apart from being a mother's daughter.

Crime enough.

I was here, on my own.

No alibi.

And if I had Susan Keller in front of me, I would have killed her.

With my bare hands.

Take that down in evidence.

Oh.

You rebuilding this place?

You've got to have the weather and the will.

Well, I'm no expert, but... I'd say the fabric's rotten.

I thought about pulling it down once, but it was ours.

Destroying it would seem a terminal act.

You wanted to ask me about Harriet Bales?

How well did you know her?

Oh, she worked here as a prison officer for 13 years.

She was one of the best I had.

Compassionate, caring.

She'd often do small favours for the women that weren't within her duties,

helping one to escape.

Her relationship developed between Harriet and Susan.

These things happen.

And did you know about her?

I suspect of as much.

You have to be very clever or cunning to keep a relationship with that sort of

secret in prison.

Their escape plan was incredibly stupid.

But then, prison is a hot house.

Feelings and emotions get distorted.

Who foiled their escape plan?

I did.

You have to appreciate that Susan Keller was a very manipulative prisoner.

That got into trouble too, you might remember.

Didn't you take her on a trip outside to prison?

She was depressed.

Almost suicidal.

Her daughter had stopped visiting her and she desperately wanted to see her.

Unofficially, we can help out in those circumstances.

Unfortunately for me, there was a lot of unwelcome publicity.

Shopping trip into Glasgow, the press called it.

Aren't you retiring soon?

That's a nicer word than the one I would have chosen.

I imagine Harriet found it quite rough being inside.

Having been a next prison officer.

I imagine she did.

She lost her career, her liberty.

Do you think she harbours any animosity for Susan now?

I've no idea what four years in prison did to Harriet.

She didn't serve them here.

Do you think those years made her bitter?

No.

Harriet didn't have an ounce of bitterness in her.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say the opposite.

She'd do anything for Susan.

Even now.

Like renting a cottage for her to stay in? It's a pretty remote place, next to

Whiteleaf Forest.

My instinct is that that's the very least that Harriet would do.

Alan.

Alan.

That's her again.

You stay away from her!

Now, let's get in the car. Pauline! Let's get in the car!

Look, I only want to talk to her. She's just lost her mother, for goodness sake.

And you wouldn't even let me go to the funeral.

Pauline died because of you.

Get skinned alive, you murdering bitch!

Good night.

Bye. Bye.

I'm sorry, we've just closed.

I want the future McNair.

Who shall I say it is?

Tell him it's Susan.

Just a moment.

Tell her I've got someone with me.

I'm trying to talk her out of coming in.

Tell her the last ticket's been sold.

Yes.

OK.

I'm sorry, but Mr McNair's got people with him at the moment.

And, as I've said, we have just closed.

Really?

Come on.

I don't understand why they're cutting me off, Harry.

I just want one of them to tell me I can see Alice.

You don't need any of them.

You've got me.

She won't come out.

Just leave her, Alan.

She needs time.

I could talk to Susan.

Try and explain to her.

She was always willful.

The time went of her own way.

Thanks, Ella, love.

She went off that bad months ago.

Mrs. McNair.

Excuse me, really?

What is it?

Alan's been on the phone.

Your granddaughter's run away.

When? Just half an hour ago.

He can't come in and do the 11 o 'clock dive and there are dozens of children

waiting. OK, come on.

Just a minute, just a minute.

I'll do the dive myself, ring Alan back and tell him I'll be around as soon as

I've finished. Go on, quick.

Here he

comes!

Oh, they're harmless creatures.

I've got a stump collection with all of them in it.

See that big fellow there?

The sand tiger shark.

And that one there?

He's a starry through hound.

It's a brat eater of all of them.

So why did he?

To frighten the brats, of course.

And the one you have to beware of.

Man's inhumanity to man's countless thousands more.

I swear he's cracking up.

You going in to be the girl at the door?

How come he didn't float?

40 pounds of lead round his belt.

Negative buoyancy.

Looks like a filleting knife to me.

I thought it was normal procedure for you to look at the body first.

I already have done it.

Haven't I?

It is one of their fish filleting knives, sir, and there are two more

Excuse me.

Sir, the girl at the entrance says there'll be so many people in here this

afternoon that she didn't take notes of anyone in particular.

Is there any other way out of here? Only the fire exits, but they were both

alarmed. So whoever it was had to go past her twice.

When she heard the screams, she left her ticket desk.

Great.

You're not going to like this, sir.

Try me, Susan.

Susan Keller paid him a visit yesterday, but he refused to see her.

Oh, and one of the teachers was asking about trauma counsellors for the

children. Hey, mister.

How come the sharks didn't eat the devil?

Well, the water's kept at a regular 17 degrees, which, well, tempers their

aggressiveness. Boring.

And that lot need trauma counselling.

My daughter's missing. Why don't you go and look for her? We are, Mr Buchanan.

Sit down.

Why am I being kept here? Because your wife's been murdered and now your father

-in -law.

He wasn't only your father -in -law, Mr Buchanan.

He was also your business partner.

Which means not only do you take over Deep Sea World here, but also the

in America.

Not bad.

Considering he only made you a partner nine months ago.

We were friends.

Where did you go to when you discovered your daughter disappeared?

I drove around the streets looking for her.

What do you think I did? I drove back to the aquarium to murder Peter because I

wanted to take over the business.

Look.

That woman might have kidnapped my daughter.

Find her.

Is there any chance Alice found her grandmother?

No. We kept the address from her.

I would imagine she's a pretty resourceful 14 -year -old.

Couldn't she have found out for herself?

I can think of no reason.

Or maybe one.

But there couldn't be.

Well, why not let us be the judge of that?

30 years ago, we were all very close.

Peter, Susan and I... I've, um... I've always regretted...

Always thought somehow we might have stopped Susan from doing it.

How?

She was in a foul temper that night.

A little demon.

Threatening to burn the house down because she'd been sacked.

Well, no -one can blame you for that.

At the trial, all sorts of aspersions were made against Peter.

They tried to suggest he'd encouraged Susan.

It wasn't true, of course.

Surely it would take a very twisted mind to bear a grudge after so long.

I think we're looking for someone with a very twisted mind.

Where were you at 11 o 'clock this morning?

Here. Alone.

This is my prison.

Didn't you know?

Harriet Bells isn't exactly a jailer, is she?

What's that?

You're dead.

Bill.

hear the story of Pandora's box, Miss Keller?

When she opened it, every evil flew forth.

Now, since you've come out of prison a week ago, two more people have been

killed. If you're accusing her, why don't you just come straight out and say

You people you rowed with about access to your granddaughter.

And now she's missing.

I think you know where she is.

I have no idea.

She's on a life licence.

Do you think she wants to go straight back inside, you clown?

Well, she obviously had her pick of friends in there, eh?

Just get out.

You'll let us know if she turns up, won't you?

For your information, Inspector, the very last thing to remain in Pandora's

was hope.

You went too far, sir.

Didn't go far enough.

You didn't have to show your homophobia in front of them.

What's that, Stuart?

You'll have to explain.

You know, sir, just because she's a lesbian, it doesn't make her a murderer.

She's both.

She murdered five people.

What have you lost sight of that?

She paid the price.

Aye. Fix your ears for this victim.

I'll see if you've got a bargain.

Eh, just give us five minutes, will you?

How quickie is it, sir?

So good at long words, do it.

Try this one.

Insubordination.

I got you into trouble.

No, I got myself into trouble.

It's a bad habit.

Is your job over here?

Not quite.

Listen, if you get any spare time, could you keep an eye open for me?

And won't you tell me what I'm looking for?

A girl.

14. Has she been kidnapped?

No, not yet.

Look, here's my number.

If you see anything unusual, just give me a call, eh? Night or day.

Spare time is something I have a lot of, Robbie.

Lucky you.

See you soon, eh?

You know, if the parole board were to agree to it, we could go abroad.

Have a holiday, maybe get away from here.

I can't.

There are two things I have to do.

Name them.

I ask too much of you.

You don't ask enough.

Susan, remember the terms of your licence.

You're not to return to the scene of your crime.

No, no, no.

I'm going to take a look.

Susan!

Listen to me. It's freezing out here.

It's not worth the risk.

If you're found here, they're just going to take you straight back inside. It's

as simple as that.

Why don't they tear it down?

Why won't people forget?

Because some people don't want to forget.

Some people can't.

Can I help you?

No.

We got lost.

We're looking for directions.

Where to?

Poulton Street, do you know it?

There's three roads back that way.

Right, well, we must have passed it. Come on.

Are you sure you didn't come and look at the house?

People do all the time.

Why?

Because of what happened here.

Flopped on the left, like that way.

We both loved Peter.

Would your friend like a cup of tea?

I'm fine, thanks.

We stopped by the old house.

Still there.

You shouldn't have.

One of the boys still lives there.

Just tell me, have you got Alice?

I don't know where she is, I swear.

I'm so worried about her.

She's cooking.

Remember what you were like as a teenager?

She doesn't know about her grandfather.

I think you should go.

Alan will be back in a minute. You know what he's like.

He's been going round Alice's school friends.

We'll always be here for each other, Al.

Try not to worry about Alice, eh?

Are those what I think they are?

Yes.

Peter used to say he met so many piranhas in his business, do you think

as well keep some as pets?

As far as we know, we've accounted for everyone who was in the aquarium at the

time.

And no -one was acting suspiciously?

People go there to look at fish, not at one another.

We may have the wrong motive completely, sir.

Yes, Fraser?

Well, there must be a lot of people who'd like to see Susan Keller return to

prison. File on licence, in theory.

She could be locked up again for dropping litter.

You think that someone might be trying to frame her? Put her back in prison for

all time?

I can think of one person who'd want that.

First time I've been back here.

You've never driven down here before?

First time I've drove.

Mr Kerr, sorry to bother you again.

This is Detective Sergeant Reid, a colleague.

We'd like to ask you a few more questions.

You think my need for revenge is that great?

You're mad, the pair of you.

I'd even forgotten she had a boyfriend at the time.

Yet you'd like nothing better than to see her back inside?

I'd like nothing better than to see her break the terms of her licence.

Am I right in thinking that a parking ticket would be enough to see her banged

up again?

Maybe. So why take a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

A person would have to be insane.

Besides, with my face I'm supposed to blend into the crowd and commit a

We just thought it might be useful to talk to you again.

Good to see the victims of crime getting a bit more attention for a change.

By the way, she was here last night.

She thought I didn't recognise her.

But even if I'd been blind, I'd have known it was her.

That's against the terms of a license, isn't it?

Daddy.

Daddy, wake up.

Daddy. Daddy, wake up.

Wake up, Daddy.

Daddy, wake up.

Is that you?

Huh?

Are you there?

Huh?

If you're home, I won't be angry, I promise.

Are you there?

Have you been up long?

Couldn't sleep.

Coffee. Oh, fantastic.

Can I come in?

Sit in there.

Grandma.

I was listening.

Thanks for coming, Dad.

Robbie, you asked me to tell you if that girl turned up.

Do you take milk?

Aye.

Here.

You've

got to

forget about me, England.

I don't want to go to America.

Oh, you mustn't say that.

Why mustn't I say things that are true?

They've always tried to pretend to stop me from finding out about you.

You know, if I hadn't gone to the library and found all those cuttings,

never have known.

All I've ever wanted to do is sit and chat like this.

Who's Harriet?

If you didn't smoke, Grandma, I couldn't tell you.

Harriet, they're a dear friend who's let me come and live with her.

Mum doesn't like me using the word lesbian.

No, well, your mum was right.

Sometimes it's not a good idea to label people.

What will you do now?

I have plans.

I wish I could be a part of them.

Are we? We could, are we?

But it's not going to be possible.

We're inside.

I won't go with them. I won't.

Alice. Listen to me, you have to. You can't stay here with me.

Your place is with your dad and Anna Telliner.

That's right, Alice.

Please don't make me, please don't make me go, please.

Let me go with her.

Let me take you in.

I've got to end this feud.

Do I detect a tug in your heartstrings, sir?

You'll have to find them first, Stuart.

I wonder if he'll look after it now.

I'm sure Aunt Elle will look after the fish.

It's open. Oh, good.

Elle!

Do you hear that?

She's still alive, sir.

Get on the radio, then.

This is DC Fraser.

We need an ambulance and major incident team at 34 Lavinium Drive.

You go with her. If she's too much of size, write it down.

I'm told they can strip an ox in ten minutes.

The most ordinary families are content to keep goldfish.

This was no ordinary family.

I just hope he was dead before he went in.

I should have seen the motive all along.

He'd lost me.

The destruction of a family.

To get Alice.

You think Susan Gallagher's done that?

Her own daughter? This?

No.

Not Susan.

I know someone who would do anything for her.

I don't remember.

I just... felt the pain.

Oh, there.

Eleanor, try and remember.

Please.

It was dark.

I thought there was somebody else.

Stuart, thank you for coming.

I thought I could talk to you for five minutes.

Alice. She's all right. She's fine. She's with me.

I... I'll leave you alone.

No.

Wait.

I want you to hear something.

She's... What did I do?

I wronged you so much.

You've done nothing wrong.

How much about that night you never knew?

What night?

The night of the fire.

I followed you.

You were so impulsive.

I watched you come out.

The fire you lit.

It went out.

What do you mean, went out?

What do you mean, went out?

It never took.

I don't think you ever really meant it to.

But the house burnt, Elle.

I know.

I waited, you see, until you'd left.

Then I went in.

I relit the...

What if they put you in prison? I would have Peter to myself.

And your baby.

Can you forgive me?

Forgive you?

You didn't kill that family, Susan.

Well,

I don't know. She took some cleating pills first.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, that's right.

All for love, sir.

What begs the question, was Susan in on it?

Well, the note absolves her.

It would, wouldn't it?

Susan Keller didn't know anything about this, sir.

What makes you so confident?

She loves her granddaughter.

If she'd known those two bodies were in that house, she'd never have let her

walk in and recover them.

I agree. She wouldn't be that twisted.

Eleanor McNair just died in hospital.

This has been an exceptionally tragic case.

And one that we have considered very fully.

In every children's hearing, we listen very carefully to the needs of the

But in no case that has ever come our way have the needs of the child been

pressing.

Miss Keller, we are satisfied, as are the police, that you are a fit person to

look after Alice.

On the basis of all the recommendations I have received, I therefore make an

order that you, Alice, should live with your grandmother.

Is there any way, Stephen, that she could have been made to take those

Thanks.

Well, they'd be bruising around the throat.

You can't force someone to drink without leaving a mark of some sort.

I don't like happy endings.

Supposing it was a friend who put them in her tea?

I'd say that person wasn't much of a friend.

Anyway, you've got the suicide note, and it's in her handwriting.

Unless it was a good forgery. It would need to be to fool the experts.

Experts can't be fooled.

Yes, well, it depends which experts you're talking to, of course.

women's prison in Perthshire today wished her successor well.

Helen Duncan was dogged by controversy two years ago when she took Susan

then a Category C prisoner, on a visit outside the jail.

Mrs Duncan said she'd no regrets about that incident and she's glad Susan

Keller's case is to go before the Court of Appeal later this year.

It's been my pleasure for the past 17 years to serve Her Majesty's prison

service. I have no regrets about anything I have done and I wish my

well.

I also hope that Susan Keller will ultimately find justice.

That's all I have to say.

Well, it's time now for a look at the weather prospects and first of all this

satellite picture.

There's only one other person who knew where Susan Kelly was staying.

Somehow I get the feeling you're not entirely off duty.

Freshly squeezed.

Uh -huh, just the way I like it, darling.

You should have told me it was Susan Kelly living there.

I couldn't.

Kate, I was one of these hysterical women who'd rush down there with a

Uh -huh, that's right.

Well, I'm not that type, Robbie.

Chance to live somewhere.

I thought you said you were off for two days.

It's just a car.

It's one of yours anyway.

No.

It's not one of ours.

I saw it the other day. You took that girl away.

When? She parked outside for about an hour.

I thought it was one of yours.

Hello, Alice.

Yes, Reid?

Jack, it's Robbie.

Aren't you supposed to be on holiday?

Where are you?

Never mind, that's who owns the car. Just don't tell Jarden it came from me,

Uh -huh.

Let's just say I owe you and Stuart one.

I thought I had a surprise for you.

Well, perhaps I should tell her.

Alice, when your grandmother gave birth to your mum, I was still young.

I was working as a maternity nurse.

I had to take her baby away from her.

It was hard, physically separating a mother and baby.

Then, When I joined the prison service, I came across your grandmother again.

I'd like to think that I was compassionate, Governor.

And I hope that now that you two have found each other, you'll stay close.

That's why Mrs Duncan let me out of the prison that time, so we could meet.

I've risked a lot for both of you.

And I couldn't say too much about my plans because of Mrs Duncan's position.

Yeah, we still have to be careful.

The parole board say I can go abroad.

Pending an appeal.

I think you should leave as soon as possible.

Which is why I have three open plane tickets.

I want to live with my grandma.

I don't want to live with her and you.

Ali!

Give her a little time on her own.

Must come as rather a shock to her.

It was a terrible business.

About Harriet?

I know.

Apparently she did it out of love for me, so that I could have Alice.

The awful things that people do.

Listen, Alice has been through a really traumatic time, which is why I want to

try and be a mother to her.

We'll both try that.

Why don't we take her for a slap -up lunch?

Now you two arrived at the same conclusion.

Well, I should call it a woman with intuition, Michael.

Who else would have had an opportunity to forge Harriet Bell's handwriting?

She must have had a lot of prison reports and file written by her. And

we told you, Claire, we'd find her here.

No need to overdo it, Stuart.

What can I get you?

Are you going to get that chocolate one?

You like that one. Miss Keller, can you take Alice inside, please?

Why? What's going on? We've done nothing wrong.

Mrs Helen Duncan, I'm detaining you under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice

Scotland Act, 1980, because I suspect that you have committed an offence

punishable by imprisonment, namely murder.

Five, to be precise.

Come on, Alice, Susan.

Into the car.

I've no idea what you're talking about.

I think you have.

Don't you need to state reasons for your suspicions?

You were seen outside this property two hours before Harriet Bales was found

dead.

Jackie, take them inside.

Get in the car, you two.

I don't understand. What is it you're accusing her of? You!

You killed my mum and dad!

You killed them!

Let's go inside.

Is that right?

Were you here?

I was just visiting her.

You got rid of a rival.

And then you blame the murders on her at the same time.

You'll need a hell of a lot more than that.

Helen!

Don't be silly.

There is still hope in Pandora's box isn't there?

What, you were on holiday?

That's the elderly widow, is it?

Amazing what country air can do for you.

Rejuvenating.
