SHE SHUDDERS That's not her.

I've got to go to London.

Sorry, excuse me!

Michelle!

We were just showing the Justice Minister round.

Full disclosure, Chris is actually my brother. Oh!

'Bill Martin.'

'He is best avoided.'

Mr Mackie! CHRIS GRUNTS

My daughter was kidnapped by the security services,

and she was murdered because I knew about Six Four!

I have information that a phone call was made to the Mackie house,

and the police covered it up.

You shouldn't meet journalists.

SHE GRUNTS

Tell your brother I won't be intimidated!

'Sarah Jones.' MICHELLE: 'Back from the dead.'

Piers? I need to get in touch with him.

He will kill you.

'House always wins, Miss Wallace. House always wins.'

SHE SCREAMS

Let me out, let me out! Please, let me out!

Help!

Stop! Stop! Please! Let go of me! Help, please!

Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing?!

Help! Please!

No! Help!

What are you doing?! Stop!

Help! SHE SCREAMS

Help!

Let me out! Please! Please, open the door!

Help! Help! Let me out, please! Help!

Help! Please!

Help! Somebody help!

Help me! Help me!

Help!

Erm...

Piers?

SHE SIGHS

Thanks, Tony. I...

This is only because there's an innocent kid involved.

Not because we're friends.

Yeah, course.

You didn't get it from me.

And remember, no-one's coming to help you if it goes wrong.

You're on your own.

So maybe tell your husband about the mess you've made

before you go anywhere near that place.

Yeah.

No, you're all right.

Michelle still in bed?

Er, no, no, she's, erm...

She's, er, gone for a run.

Is she OK?

Yeah, she's fine. Yep.

You not sitting down? No, I'm fine here.

Sit down, Chris. Please.

What's up?

It's, erm...

Well, it's a favour, really.

It's Robert Wallace from yesterday, I've kind of got to know him.

And he sounded me out about something that,

if he ever got the top job in the SNP,

if he was ever First Minister...

he'd be wanting to appoint a chief constable he trusted.

You?

CHRIS SCOFFS

Does he know that you voted "no"?

No, but it's not about that. It's about progress.

Oh, and have you told him that you're not in the Masons?

And that's the problem.

We've plenty of people who wouldn't like it.

Did this journalist say if she'd spoken to anyone else?

Anyone else who's involved? Any other police?

No, she didn't mention it. She just said that there was a...

phone call, I recall.

Wait.

A recording?

You... You never said anything about that yesterday.

It's not true, is it? Of course not.

Jim Mackie said it was a kidnap. We had to listen to him.

But there were no calls.

We sat there for days, waiting. Nothing.

No leads.

And I always had the feeling he wasn't telling us everything.

You know what I mean?

Yeah. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

So...

..I maybe... I maybe need your help here.

Chris.

I know I said not to yesterday, but will you speak to her?

Find out what she means by "a recording".

CHRIS SIGHS I don't know.

Come on.

Please.

Look...

This journalist, Sam, we...

Chris!

We were seeing each other for a bit. It wasn't...

Well, it was, but it wasn't really, you know?

Michelle found out, I stopped it, and it's over.

It's over. I...

I messed up.

Ah, well, we all mess up from time to time.

You don't, apparently.

All right. I'll speak to her.

Thank you, Chris.

You know, don't go too heavy. Just try and...

Ah, you know. What, find out the truth?

I always thought it'd be Michelle that cheated on you.

You know, her being ex-undercover.

Good at keeping secrets.

Hope she enjoyed her run.

Erm... I hope everything's OK, OK?

Bye.

Ah, hiya, Chris. How are you? Oh, I'm OK, Sharon.

Erm... Actually, there was something I wanted to ask you about.

Are you coming in?

Why else would I be here? I'll chum you.

Julie Mackie? Aye.

So long ago, Chris. Yeah, I know that.

But you were with Philip, weren't you?

Well, I was the family liaison officer.

Uh-huh. You know, I still think about that poor mother and father.

Hey... Listen, erm...

you haven't been approached by a journalist about it?

I heard there was one sniffing about,

saying there was a... cover-up.

A cover-up? Mm-hmm.

There was a phone call to the Mackie house from a kidnapper.

Seemingly, there's a recording that was covered up.

There was nothing to cover up.

I mean, there was no calls to the house.

CHRIS SIGHS

I know. I thought it was all nonsense,

but the papers don't care about that, do they?

Dragging it all up again for the family. The family.

You sure you're not talking about the police?

Reminding them of their failures?

We let that family down.

We never found out what happened to her.

HE SIGHS

Listen, erm...

..does the phrase "Six Four" mean anything to you?

Well, I like a man who's 6'4".

Who doesn't? THEY CHUCKLE

You know...

..it was Gary McLean.

He looked after all the recording stuff.

But... you can't talk to Gary now cos he's dead.

Terrible. Killed by his boyfriend.

Did you know him? Er, no, no, I didn't.

Aye...

Anyway, I'm in here. Look...

..you can tell whoever's asking,

I wouldn't talk to journalists about anything.

Aye, OK.

Good to see you. And you, Chris.

Chris. Uh-huh.

We have had a call about a missing person.

And it's from Pauline Wallace.

Pauline Wallace, Robert Wallace's wife,

the Justice Minister.

She wants to report her daughter missing.

This is exactly what people want to hear.

You've certainly struck a nerve.

We've had requests from everyone for interviews -

from Newsnight to Channel 4. Do them all, keep the pressure up.

Anything from the leadership? Nothing.

Ah. He'll be off the Christmas card list.

Hang on.

Pauline.

'Robert, you need to come home now.' Whoa, whoa, wait.

What? 'The school have called.

'Annabel's gone missing.'

Again?

Why would I know where she is?

Stuart, people have noticed what's going on.

There's nothing going on.

One of the girls in her dorm, her friend,

said you were meeting her last night.

Who? We don't need names, for the moment.

This is a chance for you to explain yourself.

Oh! This is nonsense!

It's just teenage girls. Don't say that.

Don't you dare say that. OK?

You need to be honest with us.

Did something happen that shouldn't have?

No! Nothing. Wh...

Wherever Annabel is, she wasn't meeting me.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

For you. Cheers.

All right, so that's recent. Er, from New Year.

I can see the resemblance.

I mean, she hasn't changed her hair, dyed it or anything.

The school doesn't allow them to dye their hair.

If you could send that to my number.

Oh, ah, yes, of course.

Now, you won't know what she was wearing,

where she last was seen, who last saw her?

Er, no, it would be her friends from school that would know that.

Have you contacted them?

I tried to, but there's no answer from any of them.

Probably still in class, hey?

No, it's the last day of term, they all go home today.

Have you tried Find My Phone?

I-It's not showing up.

The phone reception at school can be patchy, too,

if they're outside.

Has she done anything like this before?

No.

Well, she did...

She didn't go missing,

but, erm, last year,

she didn't come back from her summer holiday

when she was meant to. She and a friend went to Ibiza.

Right, so she has access to money.

Yes. But that's not the point. She's still so young.

All they've done is phone me to see if she's missing. That's all.

I-I asked the school to phone the police this morning,

but they said they wanted to wait. That's why I called you.

You were right to call us.

Ah, we should probably contact one of our colleagues down there,

go to the school and see what's going on.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll do that.

I dunno.

I usually have instincts for this, but recently, I...

You OK?

No.

No. No, I don't think I am.

Chris, I am sorry.

I shouldn't have asked you to come here.

Hey, no. No, listen, I'm fine.

Are you sure? Oh, yeah. Aye.

Now, you just get back.

I think I'm gonna stay.

not that I know of.

Was she gonna meet someone?

I don't know. Right.

Well, I'd better go and have a look.

No, she's just gone for a walkabout, clubbing.

I would if I were her.

Can I make anyone a cup of tea?

Hello. Mrs McLean?

My name's Chris O'Neill.

I wonder if I could speak to you about something?

Sorry, I'm not interested. I'm a policeman.

I was a friend of Gary's.

I don't want to talk about Gary. Please, Mrs McLean.

Gary was never the same

after he worked on that girl's disappearance.

He moved back in with us.

He hardly left his room.

He hardly spoke to me or his father.

I would have to take his dinner up to his room

and leave it outside the door.

Yeah, I think a lot of the officers on that job were affected.

They were not.

They bullied him.

So... your son's case files are locked, but...

..did Gary ever mention a recording of a phone call?

That's all his recording things.

Do you... have any of his actual recordings?

No. They were taken away when the police searched here.

Do you remember any of the officers that came here?

Were any of them called Philip?

I don't know.

There was... one man who worked with him.

Bill.

Bill Martin? Yes.

Bill Martin. Lovely guy.

I... I don't think Bill was up here when Gary...

When he died, Bill was down in London.

He was here. Came to see me.

He knew Gary. He worked with him.

Said he was the only one who liked him.

Look, I was contacted by someone called Stuart Simpson.

He's a teacher at a private school in the Borders -

Strathalmond.

Robert Wallace's daughter goes to Strathalmond School,

and now she's missing. What have you done, Sam?

SAM SIGHS

Stuart contacting me with a story he wanted to sell.

He told me that he had information that Julie Mackie wasn't missing.

That she's dead.

And he has proof.

I went to Mackie and I asked him about it.

And he was wary of me.

And I... I didn't hear from him for a while.

And then he got in touch, saying he...

had a recording of the phone call the police covered up.

And you heard it? No.

Jim told me that he'd give me a copy of the recording,

and the biggest story of my career.

He gave me this phone.

Said I'd get a message telling me where to go.

I never expected anything like this.

It's got way out of control.

Did he ever mention something called Six Four to you?

Yeah.

What is it?

It's not "what".

It's "who".

It's a codename for someone,

someone who works for the security services,

MI5 or MI6.
