I found Mary Maclean's lost diary up at the chalet.

Ruaraidh Maclean, I believe, took it and burnt it.

- What does it mean? - "A shattered heart."

Which one of you isn't your father's child?

Calum? Sine? You?

The police are done with Dad.

He wants to speak to the four of us.

I can't.

You have to.

For me.

You must have heard how he found Eilidh in a Russian orphanage?

Do you know if it would be possible

for someone to adopt a child without their spouse's consent?

I'm taking Calum and Sine out of my will.

I'm giving you the majority share.

What's she doing here?

What if that woman finds-- - She won't!

I'm going to take care of her.

The lab just called,

and the samples tested are all consistent

with a biological parent-child relationship.

They're all Sir Douglas's kids, Kat.

They can't be. The diary was--

Clearly referring to something else.

A shattered heart will never recover.

I won't let you 'shatter his heart'.

Don't do this to Calum.

Dougie isn't your son.

Dad can claim all he wants that Mam was paranoid,

but I was in the boot room when he and Tracey hooked up.

Calum!

Please, boss, you have to see that this is a setup.

They're all lying. - You are so tainted.

It would take a confession from Sir Douglas to reopen this case.

I want you off my team and off this bloody island.

I'm sorry, Mam.

I want you by my side

as I hand over more and more of the business.

I'll do that, Eilidh.

My race is increasingly run.

To do what?

Stroll the boulevards in Stornoway?

I get that.

Harris is not Paris.

But look at how rarely I'm here.

Think of this island as a base from which the company ventures forth.

What are we now, Vikings?

You and I do share certain characteristics.

I understand why you haven't come back for ten years.

Your mother--

Let's not speak ill of the dead.

I agree.

But she's gone.

So what excuse do you have left?

So you're with me then?

Is Calum here? - What's wrong?

Wait! - I have to.

What's going on?

Calum's taken off on his bike. - So, what's new?

Oh, fuck this.

Dougie isn't Calum's son.

That bitch! - Worse...

Dad's his father.

God, Sìne. You and your crackpot theories.

It was news to me too! - I read Mam's diary!

When she was looking for her necklace, she found an old DNA test in Dad's safe.

I told Calum, before someone else could.

Fine. Let's go to Calum's.

That's where he took off from.

And I bet he's already returned.

And Dad?

Forget Dad. I'll deal with this.

The ferry's not for another two hours.

Sorry. DCI Halim's orders.

It must be strange...

leaving again like this.

I suppose there's little chance of you being pregnant again.

Sir Douglas didn't do it, you know.

Even if he had, DCI Halim said you need a confession.

Good luck with that.

Sìne?

Calum's cleared off. Can you come up to the distillery?

Please.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Hey!

Stop!

Gus. Hi, it's Ruaraidh.

Have you seen our Calum?

I understand. I'm not surprised you're angry,

but can you ask around?

Please, Gus.

What's she doing here?

We're really worried.

I asked her.

Good to see you've flipped sides again.

I'm not here as police, Eilidh.

Okay, better yet - a friend!

No one's seen him and he's not answering his phone.

We can't get on his laptop, so we can't track him.

And even if you could, he's probably turned his phone off.

The best option is to go out and look for him.

You go south.

Scour all his favourite spots on Harris.

Right. Let's go.

I guess I'm heading north then.

Yes.

One second.

I've been calling you.

Consider, PC McMillan,

that I might have more important calls to attend to.

This is important. It's Kat.

She refused to get on the ferry.

She's cleared off with my car.

Your-- Wait there.

We're off to Scalpay.

The band used to practice there.

Of course - Mangersta.

The stacks.

God, I hope he's not there.

Keep in touch, okay? - Okay.

You don't think he'd do something stupid, do you?

No. But we'll check it out, just in case.

You do realise Dougie is definitely your father's son.

My father... he has this aura.

And the money, of course.

I've seen it.

Women throwing themselves at him.

Tracey's to blame? That's what you're saying?

I wouldn't put it past her.

And fooling Calum...

into believing Dougie was his son?

I know how low an opinion you have of him.

I do. Because I don't believe...

that your Mam accidentally shot herself.

Despite the fact you don't have a scrap of evidence.

Other than...

nothing he says ends up being true.

The sooner you and I are done, the better.

Lucky for you, Eoghann, there was a tracker in your vehicle.

And look at that.

She's been kind enough to leave the keys.

But why ditch it here?

No. The better question is,

why did she come here in the first place?

And who did she leave with?

Calum, obviously.

Perhaps.

She's onto something, that's for sure.

Hi, it's me.

She never left.

Where is she now?

With Calum.

I was just showing Michael how to turn your partner on the dancefloor.

Reels have never been my thing.

Well, you're too late.

The Dashing White is almost over.

Oh, they'll play it again, my darling.

No, it's fine.

We can dance together when Mangersta play.

You're so right.

Way more fun.

Eilidh, look!

God.

Calum! Calum!

Calum.

What are you doing out here?

Remember Corran?

Kenny Gazette with the camera...

The four of us, pissed out of our heads.

Cover for the difficult second album.

We made a pledge to conquer the world.

Three months later,

as we were going onstage in Byron,

"Come home, son."

"Take care of your responsibilities."

So much for that.

Calum, don't you see? You're finally free--

Stop it, Eilidh!

Stop it.

Open your eyes!

For fuck's sake!

The only thing that made sense...

was Dougie.

That I helped bring this wee gem into the world.

And now I don't even have that.

But I love that wee boy to death.

Whatever some shit DNA test says,

he's still my son.

Did you find him? - Yes.

We're in Mangersta. Eilidh's with him.

Thank God. We're on our way.

Okay. I'll see you and Ruaraidh in a bit.

Right.

Hi, Aisha.

Sorry to call so early,

but some info came in overnight on the Maclean adoption.

It's weird. - Weird how?

The agency Douglas Maclean used

only did one adoption-- Eilidh's.

Were the biological parents listed on the certificate?

Just the mother. Natalia Novikova.

It's a pretty common name.

Okay. Can you do a search?-Sure.

I'll call you if anything pops up.

Great. Thanks.

Are you okay? - Yes.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you at the time.

You were nine years old.

There's only one person to blame.

I need something from you all.

Dougie mustn't know. For now, at least.

And no one else can know that I know either.

Of course.

Goes without saying.

Eilidh?

Dad and I don't keep things from each other.

Oh, come on. Even for you.

Even for me?

He kept the truth from you!

It's not the same thing. - Why?

Because it's not about you? - No.

There's got to be an explanation.

- Mitigating circumstances? - Yes.

Or maybe it's time we all acknowledged that Dad is the son of the devil.

I get it.

We're all exhausted. And you've always had your issues, Sìne.

But Ruaraidh.

You can't possibly think that?

I was there, Eilidh.

I saw how he'd go off on jaunt after jaunt whenever Mam needed help.

And Mam had no part in all this?

She was sleeping with Uncle Michael, for God's sake!

While he had endless girlfriends abroad!

They were equally to blame.

That's not true.

What Dad did to Calum is unforgivable.

And she never destroyed his work.

God. Now you're pinning the sculptures on him?

He admitted it to me! - That's a lie!

Ask him yourself!

I intend to.

And do you 'intend' to tell him that I know about Dougie?

Yes.

Then I'm sorry, Eilidh.

We're done.

I always thought I was different from you three.

And now you've confirmed it.

I'm often asked...

if I'm surprised about how well I've done.

It doesn't surprise me at all.

I've always believed that

you either let the world bend you to its will,

or you bend it to yours.

What have you got?

As I thought, there's thousands

of Natalia Novikovas in Russia.

So I pulled some articles from the time that featured Maclean.

Guess what?

Natalia Novikova was his secretary.

Um, hang on a sec.

They ran Eilidh's DNA too.

She's his, isn't she?

Kat, are you still there?

Oh, um, Aisha, I'll-- I'll call you back.

I need to go home.

I never thought you and I had anything in common.

But we do.

The best decision we ever made

was getting off this bloody island.

What were you talking about?

You and Ishbel?

It was about Mam and Michael, wasn't it?

What do you know?

I saw them.

They were...

I don't know...

Close.

You could say that.

Tomorrow, your mother and Michael

are both going to ask for a divorce.

Then move to Edinburgh with Ruaraidh.

She can't!

She can and she will.

She doesn't give a damn about me.

Or you, Eilidh.

Remember when Calum was born,

how you stayed with Ishbel and Michael for three months.

Your mother was overwhelmed at the time and I was in Russia--

Right, she needed help.

All nonsense!

She had no intention of taking you back.

She even met with a lawyer.

But why?

She resented that I saved you.

Something I had to do a second time,

when I got home and discovered her scheme.

Drink.

I know how much it hurts.

But you, of all people,

deserve the truth.

I need to tell you something.

It's about your dad.

Eilidh, you're not adopted.

Your mother... Natalia.

She was your dad's secretary.

They had an affair.

We ran your DNA against his.

It matches. He's your real father.

Why do you hate us?

I don't.

But my job, Eilidh, is to unearth the truth.

Yeah? I thought your job was to support the family.

It is.

As well as the murder investigation.

So how does this help solve it?

I don't know...

not yet.

Because it doesn't.

Instead you came here intent on destroying us.

Manipulating each one of us.

Me, Calum, Ruaraidh. Sìne.

If anyone's done that, it's your father.

But you know what? He loves me.

What about your mother?

Didn't she love you?

No!

If she had...

she'd never have tried to give me away.

What do you mean?

She wanted Ishbel to have custody of me.

The simple truth is that my mother hated me.

She hated my father too.

That's why she tried to kill him.

And now you know,

maybe you'll have the decency to leave us in peace.

I assume you want to talk about Dougie?

No. Natalia.

I didn't have a choice.

Your mother would have left.

So instead you lied to me all those years.

In a sense.

But in another...

you can't fake a love like ours.

That you're--

Just shut up.

Stop it.

Are you afraid of me?

I'm going back to Paris.

I'll take you to the airport.

No, it'd be better if Chrissie did.

Will you come back for the funeral?

I doubt it.

Maybe in a couple of months, I could visit?

Maybe.

I've ruined people's lives.

How? By doing your job?

The day after you left,

Sìne Maclean came here looking for you.

She was upset.

She wouldn't tell me why.

I assumed that...

I'd fallen out with my girlfriend?

And I thought between that and my beliefs,

that I'd driven you away.

No.

Maclean did it.

I saw him,

destroy Mary's sculptures.

You will know the truth.

The truth will set you free.

But I never did seek it.

Because I'm...

a coward.

Oh, Dad.

No, I am. But you're not.

Don't ever stop seeking the truth.

You hear me?

I'd better go then.

I need to ask you something.

Now's not a good time.

Why did you take Eilidh away from Mary back in 1995?

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

I do.

Michael.

I'm sorry, Ishbel, but I'm sick of all the lies.

We'll talk at the house.

Come on.

I'm sorry, Mam.

Don't worry.

What's a party if you don't get a bit tipsy?

Boss, I know you're angry, but--

Kat, I know you're up to something.

Just tell me where you are. - Look, I think I have a way

to get a confession out of Sir Douglas.

Okay. I'm listening.

There you are again.

I spoke to Michael and Ishbel.

No decency!

And your father didn't have the decency to tell you the truth.

You did spend three months with them.

When your mother was suffering from post-natal depression.

But when she learnt from Michael that Ishbel had consulted a lawyer,

she drove over.

Literally ripped you out of Isabel's arms.

No one loved you more than your mother.

Can't you see that?

This has to stop, Eilidh.

Don't you want to know what really happened?

Eoghann.

You keep saying you want to be part of a big-time operation.

So what's this all about?

You'll see. Come on.

- You got it? - Yep.

That's for you.

Don't worry. Your dad will never see it.

Where's the toilet?

Upstairs.

Shall we?

You okay?

Good luck.

You said you wanted a confession.

She hasn't got it yet.

Talk me through this.

Once the RF's matched...

But Mam...

Shhh, my darling.

We'll talk more in the morning.

Just know this.

I love you...

and always will.

Eilidh?

You didn't leave.

Why?

I couldn't.

I hoped you wouldn't.

Come.

That photo takes on a whole new meaning now, doesn't it?

I was returning to the land of my ancestors.

"My firstborn and heir."

"Deep down, you must have known."

What's wrong?

Everything's just too much. - I know.

Dad.

If we're going to make a go of this...

there can't be any more secrets.

None.

"Nothing."

Excuse me.

You know there was no love lost between Mam and me.

In fact, if she'd had her way,

I'd be calling Ishbel and Michael 'Mum and Dad' and

working in a bookshop.

So why do you care?

Because I care about you.

Because you need someone you can tell everything to.

Fuck.

I wasn't lying.

Your mother confronted me that night.

About Dougie though.

Right.

But when she shot me...

"She shot me,

but instead of finishing me off, she fell to her knees."

So what did you do?

Nothing to begin with.

But as I knelt there,

I realised she had poisoned our family for too long.

So then what?

Why?

Dougie.

How could you do that to Calum?

I went over to her...

and took the gun.

Who is that?

And what?

Shot her?

Yes I did.

He's just confessed. And this fucker is a grass.

Shit. Let's go. Now!

Now you know.

How do you feel about coming back?

Who the hell is that?

I'll get it.

Hello?

Put your Dad on the phone. Eilidh, right now!

Sorry. Not interested.

Watch out.

Watch out! She's not stopping.

Cold caller.

What about you and me?

Honestly...

I think Mam got what she deserved.

Eilidh.

My phone.

Here.

Go. Go check on the other car. Check on the other car.

Oh, fuck.

Chrissie, please.

This can't be true!

I'll kill her.

Kat! Kat!

Kat!

Wait!

Wait.

Don't tell me you did this!

Oh my love... Why?

Why!

Because all along, you were the one poisoning our family.

Douglas!

You!

Stop! Don't come any closer!

Dad, please.

Stop!

Drop the gun. I mean it.

You know you've only got one shot.

One chance.

I remember what you said ten years ago.

"You either let the world bend you to its will,

or you bend it to yours."

Dad! Dad!

No, no, please.

Dad.

No, no, no.

We give thanks to the Lord for Mary's life and

pray that her soul shall be at eternal peace.

Amen.

I should have had your back from the get-go.

You had it at the end. That's all that matters.

If you ever change your mind,

there'll always be a spot on the team.

I know. Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you too, boss.

Let's go home.
