GROANING

CAFFERTY: You forgetting you tried to fucking kill me, Rebus?

I could've made things much worse for you.

We could've made things much worse for YOU.

You cannae give me what I want, Michael. Just tell me what it is.

I don't want you.

I want my family back.

I love you, darling. I love you, And I love you.

When Mum has her new baby,

I won't hit him.

There is a recklessness to people nowadays.

It's thrill-seeking. I actually know someone like that.

He has no reason to sail quite so close to the wind.

You're a client and you need cash.

Double your money in a couple of days.

Your credit's always good here.

PAINED SCREAMS

WET SQUELCHING

GUNSHOT

Fuck!

He fucking bit me!

Andy... Hey!

I'm all right...

Andy! Please, come on!

It said on the telly this morning that the one we shot was 27.

It was one of them.

Strang's here. I wouldn't go on your own if I were you.

Take the heavy mob with you. And tell Rebus I helped you out.

CRASHING

MAN: Armed police!

MAN 2: Get on the ground! Argh!

He said something else about having a stag on?

Who the fuck says "stag on"?

People in the Army.

GUNSHOT He knows about me robbing the flat.

He doesn't know about last night.

Yeah, what if he finds out? You shot someone.

Why would you need to find Ger Cafferty? I'm going to kill him.

Done well for himself. Murdering and robbing people.

It'll be a pleasure to put a bullet in his head, then.

I want to be the one that does it.

Why do you want to be the one that kills him?

Your brother blames me for a polisman that got hurt.

A friend.

George Blantyre.

A bent copper.

A good man.

Who you tried to kill.

Rammed his car.

Put him in a wheelchair.

Fucking ruined his life, that did.

George stole from me. You knew about that.

Now he's dead.

And you're going to pay.

George is dead?

He killed himself.

Last night.

And you're responsible.

You're responsible, we both know that.

Argh...It was you!

It was fucking you.

That's why I want to be the one that does it.

Truth be told

I'm not the man I once was

But I also know

I'm not the man that I once was

I search for signs between the lines

Of right and wrong

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm...

We had no money.

Like literally nothing.

And there was drug dealers in a flat across the road from the house.

And Michael robbed them.

Is that who did the shooting at your house - the drug dealers?

I don't know.

Michael knows, though.

And what's he going to do?

What do you think he's going to do?

Is John with him?

Chrissie, we have to do something!

We have to stop them doing something stupid.

What do you care?

What do you mean, what do I care?

Here...

..with all this...

I mean, what's my life got to do with you any more?

It's got everything to do with me.

We're family... Are we?

It's got to do with John. And Sammy.

And Michael and the boys. It's about all of us.

Yeah, but you're not one of us any more. Not one of you?!

I am here! With you!

You know what's happening.

I know you do.

Michael tells you everything.

He's not like John.

He said something about someone called Cafferty.

Cafferty?

Don't think you're safe here, Rhona.

Do you know whose house this is?

No?

OK.

And I take it you didn't know

there was a seriously injured person in the room upstairs?

What's that?

It's a gun, ma'am.

You won't know whose gun this is, will you?

Well, not a problem.

We'll find out everything we need to know here.

What happened to your nose?

It looks like someone bit you?

Doesn't it just?

MOBILE RINGS

Hello? Hi, Gill.

It's Rhona. John Rebus's ex-wife.

Rhona, of course. Er, it's been a while.

But this isn't a good time, can I call you back later?

Well, no, no. It's important.

Have you seen John? Do you know where he is?

Have you spoken to him?

No, I haven't seen him since this morning.

What's happened?

Rebus's brother is after Cafferty?

That's what she said.

Andy Rolland...

Before, when I spoke to him,

he mentioned one of Rebus's brother's friends.

I looked him up. Gary Campbell?

Had a conviction for ringing cars.

Has a place on the north side of the Forth near the Queensferry Crossing.

Do you want me to get someone to check it out?

No.

We should check it out.

DOORS SLAM

What's your plan on what to do with his body?

We haven't really thought about that.

Dump him somewhere?

Tricky moving him, though.

In the drink?

Might get washed up. Stick him under the floor?

You brought him here in that, eh?

Only a matter of time before they trace it.

They'll search the place, and they'll dig the floor up.

You see, if someone's going to get caught for this, Michael...

..then the less of us here, the better.

We're in this together.I ken.

But there's nae point in everybody going to jail.

You know?

I should do this.

Fuck that.

You heard what he said.

And you need to think about your daughter, pal.

You should go. No.

You too, Cammy.

Fuck, no. I'm with you. Me an' all.

Listen, if you really want to help, you have to go.

Take it.

We can deal with this.

You can trust him?

He's my brother. He's not going to do anything to me.

We're your brothers too, Mike.

Eh, go on!

Fuck off, the pair of you.

ENGINE STARTS

Was that money in that bag?

Aye, that's what this has all been about.

Right, give me the gun and we can get this done.

Come on, I'll do it. No.

I'm going to do it.You're not doing it, Michael. I won't let you.

Gun!

Stand aside, John.No.

No, I won't.

Why are you protecting him?

I'm not protecting him, I don't want you ruining your life!

A minute ago, you wanted to shoot him yourself!

I wanted to get the gun off you.

Fuck.

Fuck did you get that from, anyway?

It's a gift.

Fae Afghan.

When we were over there training their army,

one of the officers gave it to me.

He was a good lad.

Taliban have probably killed him now.

That day you punched me.

Fu... I said sorry about that. No.

Brought me to my senses.

It woke me up.

That day, when I robbed those boys,

the drug dealers in the flat...

..I felt alive again.

Do you miss it?

The Army? No...

..not the Army.

Being deployed.

I only did one tour, Michael.

I was never happier than when I was deployed.

I did two tours in Iraq, and two in Helmand and...

..I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it.

That's what you're really not allowed to say.

That you enjoyed a war.

You have to come back and be traumatised.

Fuck that!

I fucking loved it!

Waking up every day and knowing that all you had to do was stay alive.

No bills. No nagging.

Someone points a gun at you, you shoot them.

They kill one of us, we kill ten of them.

You know what I mean.

You've done it, too. You told me.

It's the past, Michael.

It's the past.

The past's never the past.

I knew what I was when I was there.

I knew what I was for.

What life is.

All of this...

Cars and fucking houses and jobs!

It's all bullshit!

It's not real!

There...! There is fucking real!

This...?!

It's all an illusion!

He's right.No!

No! You keep your mouth shut!

He's right.Shut up!

It's all bullshit.

You and me are the same, Michael.

I'm not the same as you.

Aye, you are.

We see what this society is.

It's rigged...against people like us.

People who...who try to take something for themselves.

Shut the fuck up, you! Shut the fuck up!

This isn't the way, Michael.

So, what is?You give me the gun, and we walk out of here.

We all walk out of here and forget this ever happened.

He's not going to go to the polis, are you, Ger?

I fucking hate the polis.Right.

It's not too late.

We can stop this now.

And everything's fine.

Wait, and you protect him?!

You hide him behind the law?

I have to.

And what about Andy?

We'll find whoever did that, and we'll put them in jail.

They came to my house!

They could have killed my kids!

Chrissie!I know.

I know, and you have to think about them now.

Hah...! Right, Chrissie and the boys.

Think about what you're going to do to them.

This isnae the answer, Michael.

MICHAEL SIGHS

Look, you're going to hand yourself in

for robbing those two young lads...

..and we'll sort it out.

Everything'll go back to normal.

I can't go back to normal.

Michael! No...!

GUNSHOT

Fucking enough!

Enough!

I'll not let you do this to yourself, Michael!

Everything OK?

I think John's brother's got himself into something bad.

I think he might've robbed a drug dealer, a gangster-type guy.

What gangster did he rob?

Well, a guy I heard John talk about, actually.

Someone named Cafferty.

Ger Cafferty? You don't know him?

No, no.

I mean, I've heard of his name.

I know he owns a load of properties around town.

I think he even tried to invest some money with us a while back,

but we gave him short shrift.

These guys are predators. You need to keep them at arm's length.

I phoned one of John's colleagues, Gill.

She's his boss now,

and I just, I passed on everything that Chrissie told me...

You did the right thing.

What?

I don't know.

I don't think I want them here.

HE GROANS WEAKLY

Well done.

So, this is your chance to tell me exactly what's going on.

I came here. I found Cafferty.

He was here on his own.

And who told you he was here?

Had a hunch.

Really?

Where's your brother? Where's Michael?

I don't know, Gill.

No...

..I'm not helping you here, John.

Not any more.

This isn't over.

How did you find the people that killed Andy?

It was Darryl Christie.

He gave me the address of a house. Shaun Strang was there, too.

You'll be flavour of the month.

Good for you.

Darryl wanted me to tell you he helped.

Said you'd appreciate it.

Darryl?

What is he after?

He knows we're onto him.

Be careful.

He'll think you owe him something now.

Thanks for seeing me at such short notice.

I think I might have done something daft.

I saved someone's life.

And I don't think I should've.

This is a man I hate, though...

HE CHUCKLES

I genuinely hate.

What made you save him?

I thought I had to, to save someone else.

But...

I don't know, I think maybe...

..I would've anyway.

I think I used to think that there's rules and there's laws, right?

The law is whatever society says it is at any given point.

But the rules are the rules.

They're older, there's always been these rules.

And blood is thicker than water.

Don't grass on your friends.

An eye for an eye.

Criminals follow the rules.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

I used to think that sometimes they need a reminder

that the police know the rules, too.

What do you think, now?

Think I need to be a bit more strict with myself, Andrea.

Fundamentalist?

Like um, John Knox?

Aye.

John Knox.

HE CHUCKLES

But like a fun version of him.

A fun John Knox?

Aye, a fundamentalist Presbyterian, but knows how to party, y'know?

Likes a drink and a laugh.

How is the drinking?

Aye, fine.

I'm drunk now.

That's a joke.

SHE WRITES

Obviously, that's a joke.

And how is your family?

Your daughter? Her mum?

Good.

Really good.

Sammy's got a trust fund now.

Mm-hm.

So, she's really safe.

Aye.

That's right.

No FaceTime?

No FaceTime.

Hopefully, I'll get my proper phone back tomorrow,

then we can FaceTime our faces off.

When am I coming to stay with you next?

I don't know. You'll need to ask your mum.

Sammy, let me speak, darling. When am I next staying with Dad?

I'll take it now.

Mum wants to speak to you.

Love you, Dad.Love you, too.

How are you, John?

I'm fine, um...you take this number, too,

in case you need to get in touch. I will.

Sammy was saying that Chrissie and the boys have gone?

I just thought it was for the best.

Where are they now?

Lockie put them in The Balmoral.

What do you think's going to happen?

I don't know.

I can't get involved.

We're going to arrest Michael, and then we'll see.

Oh, God. Is he going to jail?

I think so.

I think so.

HE SIGHS

I can't help him.

He's on his own now.

What happens now?

I'm going to hand myself in.

No. No, you're not. No.

I have to. Oh, who told you that? Like John?

Do you think he'd do the same thing for you? Aye, he would.

Mm. Aye, he helped me.

He didn't have to, but he did.

He could've landed me right in it, but he didn't.

He made things worse for himself.

I owe him. I owe him something.

I don't want you to go to prison.

Hey! It'll be fine.

Neil's got the money.

And then he'll get it to you when the time's right.

You should take the money.

Take the drugs money.

Use it to get away from here.

You remember when you were working on the circuit,

you told me there was guys who just went about

travelling from place to place.

You...you could do that. No... Yeah, and...

You could, and we'll come and find you when things have quietened down.

Michael, this whole fucking country is falling apart.

There is... There's nothing worth staying here for!

Wait, what about the boys?

Do you know what? They'll...they'll understand.

Ye...

They will.

Michael, they will.

No. I've...fucked everything!

No, no, you haven't. You haven't.

I have! No, you haven't.

You just tried to change things... Aye, but I've made it worse!

Yeah, but you didn't... But, Michael, you just tried,

you didn't just... Fuck! ..you didn't just accept things.

And that is the problem with people these days,

they just accept all the fucking shit that is thrown at them.

You tried.

I love you, Michael.

Well, I wondered if it was anything to do

Yeah, there might've been a wee bit of a problem there.

What kind of problem?

The seed funding's gone.

Aye, you win some, you lose some, then some. Don't you?

I don't Darryl, no.

You're going to put your hand up for McJagger?

That's what you said to me, wasn't it, when we were back in the house?

It might be an attempted murder, though.

That's what my brief said.

You're putting your fucking hand up, OK? You did chib him.

And there'll be no comeback from Cafferty?

I'll speak to him about that.

But I'm sure it'll be fine, as long as you keep your mouth shut.

You working with him now?

No, I'll never work for him.

Promise?

Trust me.

We got to be smart here.

We're in no position to do anything about Cafferty at the minute.

We have to bide our time there.

I want 25 grand a year.

Fuck off, I'm not paying you that.

I'm just offering my condolences for George.

Poor woman. On her own now, eh?

You stay away from her. YOU stay away from her.

It's you that hurt her.

My heart, on the other hand, is fine now.

They say it's a coronary artery spasm.

Aye?

It's your body telling you you're getting too old for this game, Ger.

Ah, but, you see, I'm not so sure.

I feel like I'm alive again.

Where is he? Did you lift him?

I saved your life.

Has he not told you that?

Billy Cochrane's nephew was in the warehouse

And Michael shot him.

They'll find Michael, wherever he ends up.

And if they don't find him, they'll find his family.
