You have access to information

that would be very useful
to my investigation.

Why are you telling me this?

Cos I think you and I
can help each other.

Jared told me it was a new piece
of software where I could look

at all my accounts in one place.

He could never have created this.

Did Jared ever deal
with the IT guys?

Erm, no, I don't think so.

He usually just gave me his laptop
and asked me to ring someone.

Lexie was convicted for conspiracy
to commit serious assault.

She only had her boyfriend
beat up her dad.

Your father could have died.

Not because of me, Mum.
And you both knew that.

It was for your own good.

Having you take the blame
may have seemed harsh,

but you had to learn a lesson.

Lexie Noble is now the prime suspect
in this murder investigation.

I can't use your evidence
against Morris.

I can't help you any more.
You're on your own.

What am I supposed to do now?

I don't think they qualify
for the grant,

which leaves the path clear
for you to buy it.

The community group found
a last-minute backer.

She's screwed us over, and I swear
to God she's gonna pay for it.

PHONE VIBRATES

My girlfriend's so sick of me
asking where she is all the time,

she just sends me these.

Paranoid. Surprised you haven't
put a tracker on her.

Oh, I thought about it.
Now I just check her satnav.

See you tomorrow.
See you.

SATNAV: 'Starting route
to 43 Cranmuir Street.'

Kathleen.

Can I, er,
get you a tea or a coffee?

No. Kathleen...

..were you and Jared
having an affair?

No. Why would...
Why would you say that?

Because your address
is in the satnav of our car.

RATTLING

Jared asked us to help him
with some work...

off the books.

Michael's a web designer.

You made the banking software.
Right.

He said he needed
to buy himself some time,

that he'd made a mistake

and he didn't want the client
to panic.

Did he tell you who the client was?

No. He just gave me the information
he needed Michael to input.

Jared kept saying there was
nothing to worry about,

but after he was... killed...

We thought we might be next.

There's something
that you need to have.

Jared asked us to hold on to this
for safekeeping.

OK, look, this... client,

he doesn't know anything
about you right now,

and that's good.

So please, please,
just keep your heads down.

RATTLING
THROUGH HEADPHONES

CRY OF PAIN

MUFFLED GROAN

Are you OK?

It was Jared's.

Don't ask.

OK.

They'll be client accounts.

Don't ask.

DOORBELL RINGS

WOMAN: Is Mrs Noble in?

Yes. We need to speak to her.
Can we come in?

Mrs Noble,
we need you to come with us.

Do you know who this woman is?

It's... the back of someone's head.

But you agree that's Jared with her?

Yeah.

They clearly seem
to know each other.

That street's just around
the corner from a hotel,

the same hotel that was on
Jared's credit card statement

the date this footage was taken.

Also these.
They were on the statement too.

The earrings Jared didn't buy you?

Now, we know she isn't called
Sarah Blaine,

because that's a fake name,

but it's just a matter of time
before we track her down.

Come on, Lexie, you can't deny
there's a pattern here.

You get angry with your dad
so you persuade someone to hurt him.

I didn't.

You find out your husband's
having an affair.

Those boys
deliberately targeted Jared,

and I'd bet money
they were paid to do it.

I agree with you, so why haven't you
found out who paid them?

You need to think very carefully,
Lexie.

If you were involved in any way
in Jared's death...

WHISPERS: For God's sake.

..as I'm sure your solicitor
will confirm,

a confession at this point will
still work strongly in your favour.

I can't confess
to something I didn't do.

SOLICITOR: Mrs Noble has been
more than co-operative.

Now, given that it's getting late,

and if you have nothing else
to discuss...?

Good.

Interview terminated 23:34.

I hid box.

Thank you.

Lexie, are you in trouble?

Erm... I said that I would find
something for someone.

It's a... It's a client of Jared's.

What happens if you cannot?

This is not your problem.

Where did you put the box?

No good?

No.

No, look, there's this one account,
Previte Holdings,

that I'm trying to access.

It's a Latvian bank,

but there's no company
called Previte Holdings

on the Latvian register.

You can just tell this person that.

It doesn't work like that.

What's that?

I've no idea.

Jared left you in shit.

Yeah.

OK, so what am I looking at?

I've been checking the CCTV

round the area
Jared Noble was stabbed.

This boy fits the description.

It's the right time,

and he's coming
from the right direction.

OK. All right.

Let's get a photo
of the other boy out.

Someone's gotta recognise
that jacket.

I picked up a new name
on the Noble intercept.

Previte Holdings.

Is it one of Morris's
shell companies?

If it is, it's not one
we've come across.

Has she set it up for him?

Well, according to the tape,
she's trying to access it for him.

And I've done a search
for Previte Holdings

and it's not registered
in any of the main territories.

GUTHRIE CHUCKLES

She's the money man.

If she is, not willingly.
That doesn't matter.

If she's his new accountant,

we've got him,
and she's going down with him.

So, planning permits, all that?

Yeah, and it can all go through
the same company.

You could use CVB Investments,
but I think it would be cleaner

if you establish a dedicated entity,
separate name.

Like what? What kind of name?

Like... Isle of Eris Services
or something like that.

OK.
OK, do that then.

Did you want me to set it up?

No, I'll let them do the legwork
in Malta.

Just tell them what I want, OK?

You're looking tired.
Are you sleeping all right?

Yeah, it was just a late one.
My wee girl's not been very well.

I've had a call...
DOOR CLOSES

They suggest we go to them.

Condescending wee pricks.

They'll meet
where I tell them to meet.

Shipping containers -
are you on top of it?

Yeah, it's under control.

First shipment's due in China
next week,

next one two weeks after that.

Because this isn't just our money,
remember.

And I don't want to be answering
to our friends,

you know what I mean?
Yeah, you can relax. It's fine.

You still haven't given me
the paperwork.

I'll get it to you. Don't worry.

It's all under control.

If it's got nothing to do
with the hotels,

why the hell has he bought
an island?

All he said was
it's a valuable asset.

It looks like he's got
that new accountant on it.

The woman.

Lexie Noble?

I'm just relieved he's not planning
a new build.

Can't afford that at the moment.

Is occupancy still down?
Yeah.

Overheads are through the roof.

Listen, darling,
if you're struggling...

I'm not struggling, it's just...

Well, it's been a tough couple
of years for everyone.

You need to speak to your dad.

Mum, I'm CEO of the company.

I'm not gonna run to Dad
every time there's a problem.

I'll figure it out, OK?

OK. Fine.

Seems we got lucky.

Uniform at Turncross Road
brought him in for shoplifting.

The custody sergeant
recognised his jacket.

What did he nick?

Rotisserie chicken.

Come on, Nicky.

You're right there, talking to him.
Yeah, I know, bro.

I'm a friendly guy.
I talk to everyone.

All right, look,
you clearly know each other.

I don't know.

Maybe I've seen him around.

We need a name.

HE SCOFFS
He's not like a mate or anything.

Yeah? Cos, given you were carrying
a fairly large quantity of weed

as well as this stolen chicken...

..not forgetting the fact
that you're out on licence...

..you might wanna think again
about that.

His name's Connor Ridley.

I think his mum stays
on Lochbairn Estate.

Sorry to just turn up.
Oh, not at all.

I was gonna call you,

but I'm afraid DCI Royce is still
giving me the run-around.

It's not about DI Royce.
OK.

I wanna speak to you about Jared.

All right. Er, do you want
a cup of tea or something?

I wanna know if you were doing
any legal work for him.

No.

Anything to do with
incorporating companies, overseas?

It's not really my area, Lexie.

So he never spoke to you about
any business in Eastern Europe?

The only time we've ever talked
about Eastern Europe

is when we had to organise
that bloody awful stag do for Ben.

Where was that?

Vilnius.

Lithuania?
Not that I saw much of it.

Spent most of the time wandering
the streets of the old town

looking for vodka bars.

What?

Rufus, what?

Well, Jared did duck out
for a couple of hours.

Said he was meeting some... lawyer,

somebody that he had dealings
with over the phone.

Thank you, Rufus.

Wait, Lexie, what's going on?
I'll give you a call, OK?

He's not here.

Last I heard he was away up
seeing a pal near Dundee.

Oh, when was this?
Couple of weeks ago.

Right, well, if he gets in touch...

Aye, aye,
you'll be the first to hear.

Mind if I use your toilet?
Hang on! What are you doing?

You can't come in here.
Get away from there.

Get away from there! Come here!
What are you doing?

All right, all right.
Oi-oi-oi-oi-oi!

Stay there. Enough!
Get your hands off me, you prick!

You all right?

Aye.

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

I've told you,
I've done nothing wrong.

Is that why you were about to chuck
yourself out of the window, aye?

Connor, we know that you were part
of an orchestrated attack

on a man called Jared Noble.

Now, the only question is

whether you were the one
that actually stabbed him.

It makes it easier
if you're our man.

Means we don't need to go
and find the others.

You cannae do that.

One in four chance
we've got it right.

You reckon the Fiscal will think
that's worth going for?

Mm.

Didn't know what was going down
till it happened.

A mate just said he needed
some bodies,

said he'd give me a score
to go and rough this guy up.

Didnae know he was gonna stab him.

OK. What mate, Connor?

Come on.

Everyone calls him Tab.
I don't know his real name.

Ma'am.

Oh, brilliant, thank you.

Right.

Meet Michael "Tab" Moray.

Jesus, he looks about 12.

Any links to a particular OCG?

Hmm, no.

Seems like he'll work
for anyone who pays.

I'm guessing he was paid
to set up the attack.

Jean, do we really think

that Lexie Noble paid for this kid
to kill her husband?

It got the job done, didn't it?

You know,
if you don't want to build a hotel

we could always do holiday lets.

What was that?

On the island.

There must be cottages
or outbuildings or something.

I don't know.

Well, you must have some idea
what you wanna do.

You've gone to all this trouble
to buy the bloody place.

I don't know, Con.
I just told you I don't know.

Maybe we just live there.

SHE SCOFFS

Melyna Jura.

RINGING TONE

'You have reached
Melyna Jura Legal Services.

'We are closed at the moment,

'but our opening hours are
eight to five, Monday to Friday,

'and Saturday seven to 11am.

'Please leave a message
after the tone.'

PHONE VIBRATES

What's up?

Word from our source at Muirbridge.

They've brought in
one of Jared's attackers.

Connor Ridley.

And there's another name.

Michael Moray.

According to Ridley,
Moray had the knife.

Do we know this guy?

No, I don't think so.

And there's something else.

It seems Mrs Noble hasn't been
entirely honest with us.

I've found something.

You lied to me.

You said you were looking
after your sick kid

when you were talking to the police.
Why?

I... I didn't know
what you would think

if I told you I was
in the police station all night.

What were you talking about?

I mean, it's DI Royce.

She thinks I'm involved, so...

..my solicitor said
she's getting desperate.

It's because they still haven't
identified Jared's attackers.

They've already identified
two of them.

How do you know that?

Because I know everything.

Do I need to remind you
what you stand to lose

if you're messing me about?

Cal, I'm the prime suspect
in my husband's murder.

If you want me to share
every question she asks me,

I'll do that.

So it's just routine.

It's just the same old shit.

So what have you found?

Well, there's, er...

..this little lock-box of Jared's
that he left in the office.

One of the junior accountants
gave it to me.

I got it open, and there...

It's got all the bank cards.

All the passcodes,
everything we needed.

Show me.

So, all the money ends up
in this shell company,

and I think this is
the incorporation lawyer

that Jared will have used,

so he'll be our best bet
to access the company account.

So all you've actually found
is a lawyer.

Yeah, so far.

I've tried calling him.

You won't get anything
over the phone.

It has to be in person.

How long for you to get hold
of your passport guy?

Two hours. Three tops.

Right, well, get it sorted,

and then get two flight tickets
to Vilnius.

What, for me? Why do I have to go?

You're the next of kin.

I'm a suspect
in a murder investigation.

If the police think I'm fleeing
the country,

they're gonna put me in prison.

Police won't know.

Look, I'm sorry,

I will do everything I can
from here, but I've got kids.

I can't take that risk.

Fine.

Then you may as well take her home.

Let's go.

THROUGH HEADPHONES: 'Hello?'

Hiya.

Doris?

Es?

'Esme?'

MUFFLED FOOTSTEPS

Guys, this isn't funny!

PHONE RINGS

Where are they?

CAL: 'Shut up and listen.'

No!

'Be at the airport for 7am.

'Take your passport
and your marriage licence.

'No phones,
and don't use your own car.

'Aaron will be waiting
at departures.

'Now, do you understand?'

'7am.

'Departures.'

No phones.

Yeah, send a unit car,
but tell them to hang back.

We're assessing a potential
threat to life,

so they mustn't make a move
until you hear from me.

PHONE BUZZES

Are you absolutely sure?

Yeah, she was talking
about departures.

Right, has she left the house yet?
Not yet.

I've sent a unit car.

Why the fuck have you done that?
Well, I had to do something.

It sounded like her kids
could be in danger.

Jesus Christ, Jibran.

We need surveillance,
not bloody uniforms.

She sounded genuinely scared.

Let's not jump to conclusions
about the kids' whereabouts.

No, but I heard on the phone...

You didn't hear
a definite threat to life.

All we know for certain
is she's going to the airport,

which means either
she's planning a runner

or she's gonna do a job for Morris,
so get your lot out of there.

Subject on the move.

Copy that. Subject has entered
the check-in hall.

Alpha One following on foot,
requesting further instruction.

Do we want to intercept her?

Not yet.
No.

Let's get CCTV up there.
We need to see what she's doing.

Aaron! What's going on?
Where are they?

Where have they taken them?
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Look at me.

All I know is,
you stay calm, get the job done,

and you'll get them back.
Understand?

Take this. That's yours.

Let's go.

Freeze. Full screen, top right.

There.

That's Aaron Morris with her.
Do we know where they're going yet?

Nothing from passport control.

She's not travelling
under her own name.

Right, stay on them.

We need to find out what flight
they're planning to board.

We have to step in.
I mean, if she's under duress...

You don't know that.
We keep our options open.

Yeah, yeah, hi. I'm trying
to find out what's happening

with my shipping container.

Hold on, what kind of time lag?

Cos I've been tracking it
on your website.

It says it's gonna be there
in two weeks.

OK, so how long are we talking?

What do you mean, you can't tell?

Wait, listen, listen.
I'm gonna call you back tomorrow.

You'd better have more information
for me, OK?

Let's go.

Gate 17,
flight BL134 to Vilnius, Lithuania.

Why would Morris be sending her
to Vilnius?

I've no idea.

If they're going in person,
it's got to be something big.

Alpha One has a visual.
Should they intercept?

You can't let her get on that plane.

She is a murder suspect.

Tell Alpha One to stand down.

Contact the Lithuanian authorities
and explain the situation.

Tell them we're gonna need
surveillance on their end.

You're not serious.

This is my call, OK?
We let it play out.

This is nice, innit?

Let's go.

BUZZER

BELL RINGS

Hello.

Lexie Noble.

Oh, I'm Tomas Bantius.

Hello, come in. Please, sit down.

Thank you.
Please, come in.

So, how exactly can I help you?

Erm, I think that you knew
my husband, Jared Noble.

Are you here on his behalf?

We're here because he's dead.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Erm, I'm organising his affairs,

and there's one company,
er, Previte Holdings.

I think that you were
the incorporation agent.

If I may stop you there.

My apologies,
but before we go further...

..I must ask you to provide proof.

Yeah.

I have my passport and my, er...
my marriage certificate.

No.

Your husband should have provided
you with a particular item.

It is a matter of security, you see.

Hold on.

Hold on.

She just told you
that she's his wife.

Hang on, I...

I have... I have this.

I found it in Jared's things.

Is that what you need?

AARON LAUGHS

Are you serious?
That's your security?

It cannot be duplicated,
and only the owner knows its value.

And should either party need to send
a proxy, it acts as a guarantee.

I'll fetch the file.

Thank you.

The office is registered
to Melyna Jura Services.

As far as I can see, they specialise
in company incorporation.

Maybe he's got her setting up
more shell companies.

You could do that from here.
Sir, I have DI Royce on the line.

She said she's been trying
to reach you.

It's about a unit car being called
into a suspect's residence.

Shit.

Right, erm,
put her through to my office.

I'm gonna put you through.
Please hold.

This is your fault.

This should be everything you need.

Thank you.

You'll see that Previte Holdings

is currently in the names
of two Lithuanian associates,

but they already signed
the document transferring ownership.

I just need to date it.
OK.

Sorry, what are all these contracts?

Your company has been doing
a very good trade in computer chips.

Each time money comes in,
I make a new contract.

Different companies,
different signatures.

All very convincing, yeah?

How do we access the bank account?

Erm, we... we think that Jared
opened a company account in Latvia.

He may have, but the main account
is held here in Lithuania.

The bank may be able to assist you.

Is the bank nearby?

Unfortunately, no,
and they closed already.

You will need to wait
until tomorrow.

Terrific (!)

Aaron, I can't stay here.
I have to go home.

You wanna go home
without the money?

Let's get a hotel.

Right, you can take the bedroom.
I'll take the sofa.

You don't go anywhere
or call anyone without me, OK?

OK. Aaron, can you call Cal now
and find out if my kids are OK?

Oh, for Christ's sakes,
will you stop it?

If you piss him off,
this is what you get.

What did you expect?

Just be happy they're still alive.

Would you get in there?

HE CLEARS THROAT

Look, I'm sorry.

Let's go down and have a drink,
yeah?

Come on, what else are we gonna do?

Come on, let's go.

Sir, as I was trying to say
on the phone,

if there is a threat to life
you should have pulled the plug,

cos otherwise,
if there's no threat,

then you just let a murder suspect
leave the country.

We know exactly where she is,

and if necessary,
the Vilnius police can intervene.

She's travelling under a false name
with a known criminal.

At what point did you plan
on asking them to intervene?

If we pick her up,
Morris will know we're watching her.

Now, we are done here.

Sir, with all due respect...
KNOCK AT DOOR

Sir, they've checked into a hotel.

Vilnius police are standing by
to start surveillance.

Can we get, er, two whiskies?

Not for me, thanks.

Two whiskies.
Of course, sir.

Come on, it'll take the edge off.

You look like you could do with one.

PHONE VIBRATES

Is it Cal?

No, it's just some shipping thing.

Look, we'll go to the bank tomorrow,
we'll get it sorted.

You'll be back in Edinburgh
for dinner.

How do I even know if they're OK?

Cos I'm telling you that they are.
Trust me.

Aaron, my little boy is two.

My daughter is seven.

They just lost their dad.
I'm all they have.

They don't even know where I am.

I know this is hard for you.

I get that.

Fuck knows
I don't wanna be here either.

'Scuse me.
Yeah? Same again.

Gonna take a piss. Back in a minute.

You not gonna drink that?

Knock yourself out.

Well, I mean...
if it's going to waste...

HE GRUNTS

Call it a night?

Cheers, mate.
Good night.

I'm gonna go to bed.
Yeah.

Chuck me a pillow, will you?

Good night.
Night.

Hello?

'Hello?'

Can anyone hear me?

'Marie, can you hear me?'

What's she doing?

And who's Marie?
I don't know.

OK, you need to tell me
what is going on.

If you can hear me,
he has my children.

Who the fuck are you talking to?

Shit.

I asked you a question.
