Original subtitles

Really? As often as that?

Well, of course we could do it. This is the best place there is.

And you're sure there's no one else around?

Hi, Jamie.

What's his name? Luke McKendry.

They found him at six this morning.

Alone?

Dad's at the bottom of the quarry.

Who is the boy's dad?

Andrew McKendry.

35.

Looks like fall from height.

McKendry, is that a name we know?

Private investigator.

Mainly insurance work.

What about the mother?

According to social services, McKendry's wife died 18 months ago.

Lives with a girlfriend now.

Joanne Mars?

Boss.

Did you need me for anything else?

Oh, I'm hell of a sorry, Robbie.

We keep you back from something important.

Well, it doesn't take four of us to sign off a suicide.

So did you find a note?

No. The farmer says this place is notorious for jumpers. No, you don't

son out if you're planning to commit suicide.

Who says he planned it? All right, enough.

We'll know more when pathology gets here.

Social services are taking the boy home. You two go with them.

Talk to the girlfriend.

You wouldn't have to have a parachute handy, would you, Stuart?

Joanne Marr?

Where's Andrew?

You weren't home last night?

What?

No. Night shift.

At the hospital.

When did you last see Andrew?

The afternoon.

Before I left for work.

How did he seem?

He seemed like... Andrew.

Wasn't preoccupied or worried about anything?

Luke's mum died last year, right?

Year before.

Why?

That must have been hard on Andrew.

It was.

Was he depressed?

Struggling to cope?

Andrew isn't suicidal.

Something must have happened to him.

What makes you say that?

Because he'd never leave Luke.

Not like that.

Andrew loves him.

He loves me.

You might try and look for sensitivity, Robbie.

It's my job to ask difficult questions. Yeah, but it's how you ask them. That's

the problem. We need to get to the truth, and if she's in denial... No,

shock. Do you mind?

He's trying to sleep.

I don't care about your job.

He can't know us. Not from looking at one poxy photograph.

I know Andrew.

He'd never kill himself.

He asked if he was preoccupied with anything.

The job he was working on.

He was looking for that girl.

Who wanted to find her?

Her dad.

Alex Sternwood.

As in the mining Sternwoods?

I'm not happy with this resting position.

Well, you don't think you jumped?

Right now?

Can't say.

So what did you mean?

The mining down with... The family you saw on North Star Mining, they sold it

off in the 70s.

He's not in pain, but you should think of it transparently. Look, I've told you

before, this is his home and we are not moving him.

Can I help you?

D .I. Roth, this is D .S. Reid. We're looking for Alex Dernwood.

I'll check in tomorrow.

What do the police want with my father?

Well, they'd like to talk to him.

Come with us.

I have a business arrangement with McKendry.

Why?

We found his body at the bottom of a quarry about two miles from here.

The Beaumont quarry has a rather dubious reputation.

Yes, Wilbur, we're not ruling anything out at the moment.

I'd ask McKendry to look for my youngest daughter, Stella.

Is she missing?

Not exactly.

She left home about a month ago and we haven't heard from her since.

Stella is a wild child.

A consequence, I think, of losing her mother so young.

And she has a history of running off.

Usually towards trouble.

It's nothing serious, you understand. It's just high spirits.

She always comes back.

Why call in McKendry?

I don't have time to wait for Stella to get bored and come home. I need to see

her.

It sounds important.

It is.

Excuse me.

Ross? Can I just ask, when did you last speak to Mr McKendry?

Uh -huh. He left a message last night. He said he'd found Stella.

Really?

Jackie?

Excuse me.

I was the boss. We, um... We can't rule out a foul play.

OK.

Do you mind if I listen to that message?

You look at that, you jumper.

Mr Ross.

Stealing a horse.

That's ambitious, even for you.

I've given up the robbing. I work for a living now.

What, as a stable boy?

Eddie!

I'll take care of her, Mr Lang.

You're no bend.

These people actually let you near their horses.

I've got an infinity with them.

An infinity?

Is that right, Eddie?

Good luck, mate.

You're welcome.

Mr Thurnwood, it's Andrew McKendry.

I've found her. I've found Stella.

He called around eight.

The house is so big, we often don't have a phone.

And you didn't call him back?

Dad tried.

No answer.

Are Stella and your dad close?

They mean the world to each other.

Strange, then, that she should run off now.

When he's so ill?

Is he dying?

I think she probably left because she couldn't bear to watch it happen.

Martin, where have you been?

I took Juno out early.

Juno's our horse, my husband's pride and joy.

The man that Dad hired, he's died.

Police?

I take it he didn't die of natural causes.

Well, we don't know how he died as yet.

Did he find her?

Apparently.

But he didn't live long enough to tell us where.

Can I just ask you both where you were last night? I was here with Dad.

And you?

At the stables.

And no, there's nobody who can vouch for me.

In descending order of severity, we have... Shattered cervical vertebrae.

Shattered skull.

Ribcage smashed.

Fractured right tibia.

And left femur.

Oh, sounded to me like that would have killed him.

It would have, had he been alive.

Found two puncture wounds just below the left shoulder blade.

The lower one was fatal.

Here's the left side of the heart.

Are we looking for a knife?

Wounds are five inches deep and tapered.

We're looking for some kind of tool.

Skewer, spike, screwdriver.

Take your pick.

Though not a pick, obviously.

Someone killed him, tried to fake his suicide.

And then abandoned his son in the middle of nowhere.

We know where he was calling from.

Well, he uses mobile, which we've not found yet. Morning.

Can the service provider give us a location?

Eh, we're working on it, but it might take a while. What's this?

That is a picture of Joanne Mars.

I meant, what's she doing in the board, Matt R?

She's part of the inquiry.

Since when? Since we found out from the hospital that she called in thick on

Thursday night.

Oh, come on. You don't think that she would leave... We don't think anything,

Jackie. We know she lied to us.

So she's on the board.

That'll be Jackie following up the girlfriend, then.

So McHenry calls the Sternwoods to say he's found Stella.

And that was the last call he made.

What did we know about her?

She's got a reputation for being a bit wild, expelled from a few poor schools,

couple of minor drug offences.

Her old man bailed her out.

How did McHenry find her?

Well, probably the same way we just have.

Pulled up her credit card details.

She made a couple of internet buys recently, and the delivery address is on

south side.

Bring her in.

If McHenry did track her down, she must have been the last person to have seen

him alive.

Well, the first person to see him dead.

Jamie, what the hell's going on?

You're removing him on what ground?

It's nothing to do with child protection, okay?

The grandparents are insisting in custody. It's just practically his

not legally.

It's the dead mother's parents. They've got some serious lawyers and they don't

want her anywhere near Luke.

Maybe if you talked to the grandparents.

You don't understand.

Andrew's wife died in my ward.

I was a nurse.

Is that how you and Andrew met?

And Terram and Dad didn't approve, I take it?

I was the bitch who seduced their dying daughter's husband.

There's no way I'm keeping their grandchild.

Joanne, I need to ask you why you lied to us yesterday.

We know that you weren't at your work on Thursday night.

You think I killed him?

Threw him off a cliff?

Abandoned Luke?

No, I just need to know where you were.

We had an argument.

You and Andrew?

Before I left for work.

So what did you argue about?

Nothing.

Stupid stuff.

I didn't feel it going in, so I stayed at a friend's house.

Why didn't you tell me this yesterday?

I don't know.

I wasn't thinking straight.

OK, Joanne, I need the name of the friend.

Find anything useful?

Toddler, crack, raisin.

Found half a pound of them scattered over the back seat.

Who the hell did this tell us?

McHenry wasn't exactly car -proud. Is this all you've got?

Looks like he didn't die at the quarry. He was killed somewhere else and driven

there in his own car.

He was in the boot?

Looks like it.

Forensics found his blood here, along with samples of mud.

Same black mud we found in these.

Do we know where it's from?

No idea.

They'll analyse it, but don't expect a postcode.

So the killer drove.

You get anything from the front seat?

We're talking about a man whose job involves sitting in his car all day

people. He worked, he sleeps in that seat. And he wasn't car -proud.

His front seat's covered in material.

Could be taking samples for a week.

Oh, well, you'd better get started then, hadn't you?

Leave the iPad.

No, no, no, yes, sir.

You sure that's a good idea?

Thank you for coming.

I had no choice.

You called my boss.

The Sternwood name doesn't quite carry the weight it used to, but it can still

carry a few favours.

What can I do for you?

You think Stella is involved with McKendry's murder.

Am I correct?

She's part of our inquiry.

Stella wouldn't hurt anybody.

It's not in her.

We'll question her all the same.

Is something bothering you, Chief Inspector?

I don't much care to be summoned.

And I don't much care for people that can curry favours with my boss either.

Fair enough.

But my circumstances are such that I can't afford to stand on ceremony. I

to see my daughter.

Then let's hope she comes home soon.

Where is she?

It says he hasn't seen her since she took off.

Says he found the credit card and get there.

She'd be cool about him using it.

What, cool about him ordering a thousand pounds worth of stereo?

Very understanding of her.

Well, apparently they're close.

Eddie and Stella?

I just can't see Stella with him.

Well, she's been with someone.

Andrew McHenry made two calls last week.

To Gartforth Hospital.

The private clinic?

Stella was booked in on the day she left home for a termination.

She was pregnant?

She still is.

She didn't turn up.

You didn't know?

Have you any idea who the father could be?

No.

I thought you two were close.

We are.

Not good enough for her, is that what you're thinking? Wouldn't be feeling

with the likes of me.

Nobody's saying that.

Stella's not like the rest of them.

She's down to earth.

A good laugh.

That's how we get along.

You're seeing each other then?

I wouldn't say that.

We're like mates. Best mates.

Best mates and yet.

She didn't tell you she was pregnant?

I will. Maybe I put a wee bit more into the relationship than she did.

So would you say it was a wee bit one -sided?

She seemed interested.

I thought maybe we'd... You know.

But?

Maybe she was just more interested in the drugs I could get her.

Oh, so you were a dealer.

Oh, look, calm down.

Party drugs, a bit of dope, some Charlie.

I like my make -out like Pablo Escobar here.

We know that Mr McKendry traced Stella's credit card.

Did he catch up with you?

Thursday, after work.

Turned up at the flat looking for Stella. Told him I didn't know where she

Then what?

Then nothing.

He left.

He didn't pull you up about the card.

Didn't threaten to tell Stern with the police.

I told you.

He just left.

What do you think?

I think he's in love with Sterling.

You're lying about McHenry, right?

Absolutely. Jackie.

Sir. Joanne Marr's alibi called.

And? Haven't seen her in a week.

Get her in here.

Joanne?

What happened, mate?

Overdose.

Well, she came to her fence just after taking her pills and called 999.

What do you think?

Guilty conscience?

She's definitely got something to hide. I mean, she's lied.

Twice? Yeah. She'll probably go over there and talk to her when she comes to.

No, let Jackie deal with it.

You planning a wee holiday for yourself?

We still can't find Andrew McKendry's mobile, but a service provider got back

us about the call he made to the Sternwood.

Did they give us a location?

You're looking at it.

Well, I like Shire.

Can they not be more specific?

If the call was made in an urban area with enough mass, they could trace it to

about 50 metres.

But as it's rural, you might as well throw a dart at the map.

I might be able to do better than that.

Someone called his mobile around five.

McHenry's? We've managed to trace it to this phone box here.

It's the back of Beyond.

The half end of the back of Beyond, more like.

Go and check it out. OK.

So what's next?

Eddie?

Yeah. I think he knows more than he's letting on.

Excuse me.

Looking for a Paul Grohl.

That's me.

You're the Stenwood's doctor?

I think you sent someone flowers today.

Thank you. On your feet.

Did they tell him what that was all about?

That bastard's the father.

Lange?

All over Stella for months like a bloody sex pest.

You sure about that, Eddie?

I'm sure.

It's always McKendry. That's why he came to see me.

You told me he just asked about Stella and then left.

He wanted information on Stella and Lange.

Said if I gave it to him, he'd forget about the credit card.

So you told him Lang was all over Stella for months?

Right. And Mr Ross, when McKendry left me, he was on his

way to see Lang.

Did McKendry know you and Joanne were having an affair?

Can't say how.

It only happened a few times.

I'll bet it happened the night he was murdered.

Joanne said it might.

Wife's at her mum's this week.

Oh, well, that was convenient.

So all this time, Joanne's been lying to us, what, to protect your marriage?

I told her to tell you the truth.

So why didn't she?

She thinks she's to blame.

Thinks being with me that night somehow caused his death. I don't know, karma or

something.

Look, you want me to say I'm a shit?

OK, I'm a shit.

But I am worried about Joanne.

I'm going to check in on her.

You want to come?

You go out of your way to give some people a job, this is how they repay

Why didn't you tell us that McKenzie came to visit you the day he was killed?

Nothing to tell. He turned up and asked where Stella was.

And why he thought I'd know.

Maybe he found out she's having your baby.

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

Well, where did he give you that sore face for nothing, did he?

Nice set -up you've got here.

Money, easy life, all the horses you can eat.

You'd lose a lot of that, wouldn't you?

F. McKendry told the family that you were sleeping with Stella.

Now, wait a minute.

If you think that I... Right now, you're the last person to have seen him alive.

OK.

McKendry asked about Stella.

But like I told him, it was nothing serious.

Serious enough for you to get her pregnant.

That was careless, I admit.

But she agreed it was best if she took care of it.

Well, apparently she didn't take care of it.

She's out there somewhere carrying your child.

Boss! Where are you?

I'm in a phone box, answering my mobile.

Find anything?

There's nothing out here.

Well, Enzik's setting up the analysis of the mud in McHenry's shoes.

They found traces of carbon and sulphur compounds.

Coal, basically.

Reckon it's local.

We're probably looking at a mining area.

This is Lanarkshire.

It's one big mining area.

Oh, well. It was worth a try.

All right, you'd better come back.

OK.

I think she's going to be OK.

Tell me, did you put Alex Sternwood in touch with Mr McKendrick?

She said he needed someone to look for Stella.

Joanne asked me to recommend him.

Do your patients usually ask you for help in finding their daughters?

I'm more of a family friend.

My dad was their GP.

When he retired, they used me.

So, have you got any idea where Stella could be?

Could be anywhere.

Long to herself as Stella.

Poor Alex.

Why?

The old man dotes on her.

Doesn't matter what trouble she causes.

Stella's his favourite.

Who Fiona wore like?

Fiona's never bothered.

She's used to being second. In a way, she dotes on Stella too.

Did you know that Stella was pregnant?

Sternwood told me.

Her dad knew?

Never seen him feel angry.

Okay. Fine.

He had no right to tell you that!

Did Stella want to keep the baby?

She didn't know what she wanted.

She thought she was in love with him, for God's sake.

Well, maybe she was.

He's a waster.

Spends all his time with his bloody horses.

Do you think I'd let my daughter be with him?

White mud.

Did you tell Mr. McKendry about the pregnancy?

His job was to find Stella.

So you could force her to have an abortion?

So I could tell her I'm sorry.

Gorgeous. Big smiles, everyone.

That was Danwood.

Found this on her.

Forensics are already inside.

How the hell did you know to look in there?

I rang his mobile.

Atmospheric location, don't you think?

Lovely spot.

Reckon she's been here a couple of weeks, at least.

Thought she'd die.

Can't say until I get on the slab.

Counted five puncture wounds to the chest.

Same weapon used in McHenry?

Again, can't confirm.

That'd be spiced if it wasn't.

Did we get anything off the corpse?

Decomp's pretty advanced.

Might be able to pull something off the materials we're trapped in, though.

Boss.

Looks like the same killer.

Stuart's found the phone.

McHenry's? Yeah, there's evidence of a struggle. There's some blood. Forensics

are still processing.

Well, McHenry said he found Stella.

He meant her corpse.

Is he okay?

Without Stella, he might as well be dead.

Did you know?

That my husband got my sister pregnant. That she was planning to give birth to

him.

The house isn't that big.

Why don't you throw him out?

Because he's my husband.

Theo.

So how did McKendry find her out here?

Stella's killer told him.

McKendry must have been close to discovering the truth, so he was set up.

A call from the phone box.

Probably telling McKendry when he finds Stella. The killer lures him out here,

kills him, and then takes his suit out of the quarry.

Yeah.

But not in time to stop him calling the sternwards.

See you at the slab, first thing.

Pretty much as we suspected.

Same wounds as on McKendry.

This time the attack was more frenzied. Type of weapon? Don't know yet. But the

material we found turned out to be a coat.

Tell us.

Don't think so.

She was wrapped in this, not wearing it.

Any ID?

Unfortunately, no.

But these are made to measure.

Specialist item.

Yeah? What's special about it?

It's a riding coat.

A man riding coat.

Stella Vista.

Anything?

He's here!

You know what this is?

It's a pistol.

It's for horseshoes. Yeah, we know what it's for.

We found it in one of your stables.

You recognise it?

Maybe. We have lots of tools.

Yeah, but this one's special.

This one was used to kill Stella Sternwood and Andrew McHenry.

It's been cleaned, but forensics found blood traces on it.

Can you explain that?

No.

Look. I didn't kill Stella or McKendry.

This riding coat belongs to you, doesn't it?

You don't have to confirm it.

We contacted the outfitters. We know you had it specially made. I haven't seen

that coat in... What, a month?

Is that because you used it to wrap Stella's body in?

The day Stella disappeared, did you talk to her about the pregnancy?

We had a conversation, yes.

Stella wanted to keep the baby, right?

He was confused.

She wasn't thinking about the consequences.

But you were.

You were thinking about what you had to lose if Fiona and Sternwood found out. I

didn't want to hurt Fiona.

That's very gallant of you.

But then Stella threatened to tell her father. How much that got you worried?

I didn't think it was wise.

I tried to talk her out of it.

And when you couldn't, then what did you do?

I went to the stables to see Juno.

When you went to see your horse.

When your father -in -law was about to find out that you were sleeping with his

favourite daughter.

I figured it would be the last time I saw Juno.

Anybody see you at the tables?

No, I was alone.

So you could sneak off at any time then?

I didn't sneak off anywhere.

Maybe you went after Stella to put an end to the pregnancy once and for all.

Killed her so you could keep on leading the good life?

No. And then when McHenry found out what was going on, you gave him the message

too, didn't you? No!

Jackie, you've got a visitor at reception.

Thanks, June.

I married the wrong sister.

Hate it when that happens.

Fiona loves her father.

I'll always be second to him.

Still rolling in the hay with Stella must have taken the edge off things, eh?

It wasn't supposed to get serious.

But it's hard not to fall in love with Stella.

Then why not keep the baby?

Oh, come on.

I mean, Stella and I taking care of a baby.

I'm 31 years old. I've never had a job.

I wouldn't even know where to look for one.

That's for Stella, who wasn't built to be a mum.

The child wouldn't have stood a chance.

Everything to Stella was a game.

One big party.

I'd like you to meet a great mum.

Is everything alright?

Yeah.

I just wanted to say thanks.

For what?

Luke's grandparents have agreed to let me see him.

You did that.

Well, social work owed me a favour.

You must think I'm a real bitch.

Cheating on Andrew wouldn't... Joanne, you're not to blame.

You didn't kill him.

I let him down.

I let Luke down.

Nobody thinks that.

Right. Go home.

Get some proper sleep.

Thanks. You're welcome.

You get motive, opportunity, no alibi.

But you don't think it's him?

Well, the weapon, why kill two people and not get rid of it? And why spend

getting a coat made and then roll the sleeves up?

Only two reasons why you roll up your sleeves.

Either you don't want to get them dirty... Or you want them to fit.

Yeah, somebody's trying to set Lange up.

So who's shorter than Lange, has got access to the stables and got a grudge

against them?

You'll still be in the tables.

Right.

I'll catch up with you.

He just gave up.

Why would I kill Stella?

You loved her. She wasn't interested.

She played you.

Mr Ross, if I killed every bird that made an arse for me, I'd... You'd access

the weapon.

Access to Lang's kit.

I'm not the only one that has access to the kit. You're the one who works for

Martin Lang.

No, I don't.

It's not his kit.

It's not even how stable. They don't belong to him, they belong to her.

Who?

I work for Fiona Lang.

At least he never found out the truth.

Why did you do it, Fiona?

She was your sister.

He loved her too much.

Martin.

Dad loved her too much.

Stella was going to have that baby and then she would have left. That would

broken his heart.

I couldn't let that happen.

You killed Stella for him?

I do everything for him.

Everything.

He never notices.

What about McKendry?

That for him too.

He was going to find out and then he would tell Dad and Dad would hate me

How could you leave that little boy in the quarry?

Abandoned without a father?

Do you have any idea how he must have felt?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

How did you figure it out?

Female intuition.

Look at that, Jackie.

See you back at the station.
