Hey. Hey.
Stay there any longer and you'll
have to buy another ticket.

Ah
Ba! ♪
Don't tell me - you got
separated from the herd. Sorry?
Stag night.
I'm not with a herd.
I'm with the DUO
Commonality Scheme.
"DUO Commonality -"
"we train Commonwealth soldiers
in the UK emergency services."
"Diversity, Unity, Opportunity."
Sergeant Davis Lindo
at your service.
Training program me starts
Monday, Sergeant Lindo.
Yes, ma'am.
Today's Friday.
Yes, ma'am. But I wanted
to introduce myself.
Thank you.
Right. Hmm!
So, ten years with the
Royal Military Police.
Have you got
investigative experience?
Serious crimes investigation,
evidence collation,
witness interrogation,
detainee handling.
All right! It's not your
first rodeo, I get it.
So why a trainee program me?
This is a unique
opportunity, ma'am.
I'm a proud Commonwealth citizen
and I've seen a lot of the
world with the British Army.
This Commonality Scheme
allows me to retrain
in British law enforcement.
No skill wasted, but
new skills learned.
And also, ma'am, I just really,
really want to be a detective.
Just not in Jamaica.
Jamaica is not
the place for me.
All right.
But just so you know, it's going to
take more than a change of uniform
to convert you into one
of my officers, right?
I will earn my place, ma'am.
Good, cos as of Monday, you'll just
be a rookie like all the others.
Incident report you've
been waiting for, boss.
Three minutes and 27 seconds.
Old Mallick thought
you'd last a full five
before you'd come barging
in here for a nosey.
Is he still here?
He owes me a tenner.
This him, then?
Lindo, this is Detective
Sergeant Bartlett.
You'll be shadowing her.
Sergeant Davis Lindo.
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
Oh, I'm not your mum. Oh!
Neither am I, while we're at it.
"Boss" will do just fine.
You can call me "Bart".
Boss, Bart. Got it.
Right, well, off you go, then.
Go and get yourself settled.
Staying cool
You know I love you, babe

Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ah! ♪
Hey.
What can I get you?
What do you recommend?
Enjoy!
Coburn will clean us up!
Oil, not soil! Oil, not soil!
Disgusting! The future is green!
To address the concerns
about the merger with Zephel,
for 30 years, Coburn Gas
and Oil has been a vital cog
in the wheel of
this city's economy.
But the simple truth is
that oil is running out.
Moving to renewables is not just
the best solution for the business,
it is the best solution
for the planet.
It took us a while to get
on board the green train,
but now that we have,
we are not getting off.
Save our jobs, save our
jobs, save our jobs!
I know there are
worries about jobs.
And I get it. I do.
But in any restructure,
it is inevitable that certain
roles will have to go.
But the retraining we're offering
will give ample opportunity
to secure posts in
the new company.
But don't just take my word for
it Your word means nothing!
The person who not only
spearheaded this merger
but who will bring her expertise
to make us a major player
at the green energy table.
So please give here
your warmest welcome,
the president of Zephel
Renewables, Karolina Andersen!
Thank you, Clellan. Thank you.
So, in less than 48 hours, our
two companies will become one.
It's not just a proud moment
for us but for our two cities -
Stavanger, the oil
capital of Norway,
and Aberdeen, the oil capital
of the United Kingdom.
But this merger is about
securing a future without oil,
something that Zephel
achieved ten years ago.
We took the risks, we
surmounted the obstacles,
and we proved that switching
from black gold to green energy
can be done. And we'll prove it
again today in Aberdeen with you,
cos we're in this together.
This is not the end of an
era of Coburn Gas and Oil
but the birth of a new one -
the birth of Coburn Renewables!
You're killing us, Coburn!
I'll kill you first, Clellan
Coburn! That's a promise!
I mean, I don't think GQ will
be calling any time soon,
but it'll do until
the proper one's done.
Right. Evidence room,
for all the evidence.
Er My desk. Your desk.
Incident room, for
major incidents.
Interview room, for
Interviewing people?
OK. What about this one?
The most important
room in the station.
Forensics lab?
Close but no Havana.
Lindo, this is Detective
Inspector Jaiyush Mallick.
You're in the handbook, sir.
The what book?
The DUO Handbook -
Diversity, Unity, Opportunity.
Yeah, I know what DUO was. Just
didn't know they'd nicked my picture
for the instruction
manual. Handbook.
It's got case studies,
diversity success stories.
And they're saying
I'm one of them?
You think I got what I got
cos of some diversity scheme?
Two years at Tynecastle,
four pounding the beat,
two trapped in exam rooms,
and before any of that,
20 at the University
of Treated Like Crap
Cos I'm Brown And From
Tory. That's how I got here.
I meant no of fence, sir.
No? Well, tonnes taken.
I hate to interrupt
the meet and greet.
You're needed at Standard Park.
Probable homicide. Oh.
Have you just promoted me, Mac?
Well, I've got a case debrief
with the Super, so aye.
Consider yourself deputised.
Monty'll meet you there and you
can take these two with you.
Great.
Bring your own wheels.
Forgetting something?
Thanks a lot, Bart.
Wait here till I know
what we're dealing with.
Whoa!
Yep. It's a biggie.
Can I get you through?
You got any ID?
Where'd you get
this, VistaPrint?
It's OK. Let him through.
I thought soldiers were
supposed to be a patient bunch.
I was Royal Military Police.
Impatience was an asset.
Er Don't touch anything.
I know him.
So does most of Aberdeen.
His name's Clellan Colburn.
He employs half the city -
or at least he did.
I saw his show on Saturday. He's
the energy guy, right? Mm-hm.
Not looking very energetic now.
Give me that!
Didn't take them long.
Dumped in plain sight,
which is odd considering there's
a big bloody wood to hide him in.
Maybe the killer
wanted him to be found.
Yeah! Thanks, Sherlock.
Looks like the primary crime
scene. Found the phone yet?
No, not yet.
Maybe the killer took it.
What, and leaves the wallet?
No. Clellan lives the
other side of the city.
How did he get here?
And why was he brought here?
Public park at night.
Not that kind of park, Lindo.
Looks pretty new. Could
belong to our killer.
Or Coburn. Yeah, or anyone who
just happened to drop it there.
Re-routing for you,
Monty? I'm on day release.
This is Davis Lindo,
my new mentee.
Our resident analyst, DS
Simone Montrose. Call me Monty.
And, erm, not an actual
analyst. I just love data.
Spotlight will be on this one,
guv. Just the way he likes it.
Anything from the joggers? Yeah.
They found the body at 8am.
Said they ran the same route
last night around 10.00.
They saw nothing unusual.
Guess it's somewhere
to start a timeline.
Can't find Clellan's
phone anywhere.
Who's at the house?
Just uniforms.
They're expecting one
of us at some point.
I'll head over after
I've seen the doc.
Get the incident room
set up, yeah? Yeah.
Bart, I need you on next of kin
before the Twitter verse
gets a hold of this.
It's always me! Yeah, well, bad news
sounds better coming from a woman!
No, it doesn't.
Just do it, Bart!
Next of kin, who is it? The
heir apparent, of course.
What's the first question
we ask in a murder inquiry?
Who has motive?
Nearly. Who benefits?
Clellan Coburn's obviously
a big deal around here.
He's a local boy who
done good, isn't he?
Built his empire from nothing,
created thousands of jobs,
resisted countless attempts
to buy or push him out.
So, yeah, Clellan Coburn's a
proper man of the people
if you believe the PR.
And this merger with
the green Norwegians
Zephel. He should have been
signing the contract about now
and the death warrant for
most of those rigs out there -
rigs that little brother Shay
Coburn was desperate to keep open.
He's the vice president. But not
as keen on saving the planet?
Maybe it's just a case
of "Waste not want not".
While the oil's still there,
why shouldn't they grab it?
Crap, we're too late.
Just remember what I said, OK?
You're an observer,
nothing more.
You won't even know I'm there.
Tell that to your tie.
Er, just step aside. Thanks.
We're looking for Mr Coburn.
Thank you.
Shay Coburn's office, please.
Ah, no problem, I'll take you
over. Fellow military man.
I can tell by your walk.
Yeah.
One of the first
things we learned,
yet one of the
hardest to unlearn.
This way.
If you're here to tell me about
my brother, then a few thousand
others have beaten you to it.
We're very sorry for your loss,
Mr Coburn, and for the delay
in getting here.
I'm Detective Sergeant
Lara Bartlett.
This is my colleague, Trainee
Detective Constable Lindo.
I was expecting a
more senior officer.
Cora MacMillan, perhaps.
You know DCI MacMillan?
Well, our respective
positions mean
that our paths
inevitably cross, aye.
She's currently assembling the
investigation team, Mr Coburn.
The case has become
her top priority. Aye.
Can I get you anything?
We're fine, thank you.
Stay, if you will, please, Ewan.
That's all right, isn't it?
Of course.
Mr Coburn, can you tell me
when you last saw your brother?
Saturday, at the
company open day.
And how did he seem?
Anything out of the ordinary?
He was cantankerous and
argumentative,
spoiling for a fight.
So nothing out of the
ordinary there, no.
That sounds very
flippant, but
it's been a very stressful
time, the merger and
Do you know of Clellan's
whereabouts yesterday?
He was here, I expect.
Security can confirm.
Did he often work Sundays?
He worked every day.
I was always telling him he
needed to slow down, but
he
I'm sorry.
Do we have to do this now?
Like, right now?
No, of course not.
But we will need to speak
to you again at some point.
Aye.
We'll keep you updated.
One final thing -
it's not pleasant, I'm afraid.
The body has to be
formally identified
before the postmortem
can be done.
You're listed as
Clellan's next of kin,
but if there's
another relative
No, no, it was just us.
I'm sorry, I don't
think I can face that.
I'll do it.
At least one verifier must be
a family member, I'm afraid.
What do you mean, at least one?
It is a potential
homicide, Mr Coburn.
Formal identification must
be made by two people.
I think Mr Coburn would
like some privacy now.
Of course.
If you do think of
anything else
And someone will be in touch
about the identification.
Once again, Mr Coburn, we're
very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
We have a witness who saw you
arguing at the open day, Mr Coburn.
Lindo
What did you say?
Nothing.
We're leaving.
I'll walk you out. It's
OK. We know the way.
My condolences, Mr Coburn.
What was all that about?
We have a witness?!
Yes, me.
And they were having a
serious disagreement.
They're brothers.
Brothers fight.
Even if I'd known they were
brothers, what I witnessed
was more than sibling rivalry,
and knowing they're on opposite
sides of the energy fence,
well, one of them was going
to lose big today, Bart.
I'd say dying's
pretty big, Lindo.
Exactly.
The merger disappears and
the rigs keep drilling.
You said look at who benefits.
I also said you
were not to speak.
Look, Lindo, if it's going to
be too tough for you to follow
basic orders, we're
going to have a problem.
Are we going to have a problem?
We are not. Good.
But did you notice how Shay Coburn
didn't ask a single question
about Clellan's death - how he
died, who might have killed him?
That's odd, right?
That's the shock.
He'll be extra quizzical
once he's done the ID.
Oh, good. It's working.
Thanks, Monty.
This is your case tab.
It's like a digital case file
- statements, photos, whatever,
it all ends up on there.
It's really easy, a
four-year-old could use it.
I think a four-year-old
designed it. Right.
Have we found
Clellan's phone yet?
He don't own one.
Honest, I couldn't find
anything registered for him.
Clellan was old
school, apparently.
No tech, no TV.
A look you in the eye, spit
and handshake kind of guy.
How do you run a company
without technology,
two days before a merger?
Oh, God
Really, Lindo?
Yes? Shay Coburn was arguing
with Clellan on Saturday,
so shouldn't we be
questioning him?
We have done this
before, you know?
Have we got a time of death yet?
Yeah, doc reckons early
hours of this morning.
Right. Well, Shay Coburn was at
a fundraiser till at least 3am.
I ken that cos I was there,
although I doubt his
hangover's as bad as mine.
He could have hired someone.
That bodyguard, Ewan.
He's ex-military.
Definitely capable.
OK, he will be questioned,
Lindo. Dinnae you worry.
You see, I'm not liking this
big blank space after 8pm.
CGO's security confirms
he was driven home
around 7:30 after work.
After that, though, nada.
Driver checks out.
Aye. House is pretty isolated.
You can march a brass
band up that driveway and
no-one would notice.
There is a guy from
Saturday's demo
we should probably
take a look out.
I'll kill you first, Clellan
Coburn! That's a promise.
I like him.
He's scrappy. Haphazard.
Like our crime scene.
Does Mr Angry have a name?
Well, assuming he's a CGO
employee, HR have sent over a list,
but there's well over
1,000 names on it.
And we asked Clellan's solicitor
for this, well, three years ago.
Go and rattle them, will you?
Tell them it's a murder inquiry.
If we ask for something,
we have to get it.
Body? At the mortuary.
Evidence is on its
way to the lab,
and that doc is itching
to dive into the PM.
Monty's let Shay Coburn know. Oh,
and best telephone voice, please.
Yeah. Oh, and while
you're at it, Bart,
can you ask his solicitor
to do a second ID, please?
I mean, sooner the
better, eh? Boss.
And then we can start
asking questions.
Yes, Lindo?
Yes, boss!
I'll just take you
this way, please.
So we're clear this time?
I do not speak unless spoken to.
If I'm tempted to speak,
I resist that temptation.
In a nutshell. HE CHUCKLES
I'm really sorry, Bart, but
that's not going to happen.
Er Lindo!
Come on, mate.
Believe me, there's no harm done.
It's OK. You can let him go.
Please.
Annie Farquhar? Yes.
DI Lara Bartlett, North-eastern
Murder Investigation Team.
And that is my
colleague, Davis Lindo.
You're here for the
will, I presume.
Do you mind telling us what
the hell we just walked into?
That was Mr Pruitt, one of
the satellite investors.
The merger would have left lots
of CGO's long time contractors
high and dry.
Clellan offered them a chance
to invest in Coburn Renewables
to soften the blow.
And now that's not happening
they want their money back?
Guy's not even cold.
It's just business,
I know that, but their money's in
escrow and it can't be returned
until CGO's accounts
are unfrozen.
Do you know when we're going
to get a death certificate?
Whenever the postmortem is done.
If you'll come and make a formal
ID, we can do it a lot faster.
Will Shay Coburn be there?
Possibly.
Would that be a problem?
I suppose it doesn't
matter any more.
Jenny, bring in the box.
What does it say exactly?
"I, Clellan Roy Coburn
of Estuary Wing View,
in order to settle the
succession of my estate"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just
skip to the winner, Bart.
"Specific legacies."
"I bequeath the entirety of
my estate, sole beneficiary,"
"Karolina Andersen."
It's dated a month ago, Annie
Farquhar witnessed it and,
according to her,
nobody else knew.
What? Not even Karolina
Andersen? No-one.
What's on the flash drive.
Don't know. Neither
does Annie Farquhar.
Damn. It's password protected.
She didn't give us a password.
Clellan added it last week.
If he died before the merger,
the drive would come to us.
Right, so Clellan
knew he was in danger.
Or someone was after that drive.
Well, Staring at me ain't going
to make the password appear.
I thought Clellan
didn't do technology.
Then he got someone to help him.
Someone he trusted.
Trusted as in
"Here's everything I own plus
control of my oil company"?
Right, Mallick, you can
go and see Ms Andersen.
Mm. Oh, come on,
boss! She's our lead.
MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES All
you did was pick up a box.
Yep?
Hey, Monty, is that a logo?
Let me enhance it.
I thought that was a CGO guy.
Part time job to
top up the wages.
The Bodach Stone?
Aye, trust you to know the
classy joints, eh, Bart?
Why don't you go and see
if they knew our Mr Angry?
Can you not put a uniform on it?
Aye, I could, but I'm
asking you to do it, so
You and Mallick?
There's no me and Mallick.
We came through
training together.
He's a detective inspector now.
Only just.
It's a healthy
rivalry, that's all.
You must have had
similar yourself.
What about you and your dad, eh?
RMP versus JCP.
Jamaican Constabulary
Police, no less.
Yeah, I know what it is.
He was pretty high
up, from what I read.
I
might have done a
Google. Due diligence.
You've got a ticket.
And you don't want to
talk about your dad.
Got it.
Manager about?
How do you know I'm
not the manager?
Lucky guess.
Manager, please.
Isla.
But she's not here.
She visits her Frank on Mondays.
Prison? Cemetery.
We're looking for one
of your colleagues.
Nah, doesn't work here. Sorry.
Why is he wearing
one of those shirts?
I didn't introduce myself.
I'm Davis.
Davis Lindo.
Hannah. Coutts.
Like the bank, not the birds.
And
he still doesn't work here.
Really?
What do you want him for anyway?
Protesting isn't illegal.
But murder is. Murder?
Nice one, Lindo.
King Coburn.
You think that Rory
Dashford killed him?
Oh, I thought you
didn't know him.
You asked if he worked
here, not if I knew him.
Was Mr Dashford in
here last night?
No idea. I wasn't on.
He'll be in later, though.
Always is after work.
That's why we gave him a shirt,
because he's in
here more than us.
And he works at CGO?
The refinery? Yeah.
You going to arrest him?
No-one's being arrested.
Come on.
Hey, wait.
For the Hall of Fame.
A most peculiar day.
Yeah, not the one
you were expecting.
No. Certainly not.
And in such tragic
circumstances, Froken Andersen.
It's just Karolina.
It just doesn't seem real.
Please.
Do you have a suspect?
Inquiries are at a
very early stage.
Keeping our options open.
Of course.
And what about you?
As I said, the hotel can confirm
I haven't left the building
since my lunchtime
walk yesterday.
I meant do you have a suspect?
Are you asking me
to point fingers?
You just asked us to.
Well, you're better equipped.
It's your city, not mine.
I will say, though, that
Clellan seemed a bit
strange. He seemed
a bit strange.
He wasn't his usual,
know what I mean?
Was something troubling him?
It was such a big deal, I'd
be surprised if there wasn't.
I don't know, it's just
something I noticed.
Clellan should be here right
now celebrating a great success.
Instead
we are facing his greatest fear.
What do you mean,
his greatest fear?
His brother, of course.
Clellan feared Shay?
It's the company
Clellan feared for.
Shay's not a
businessman, never was.
He styles himself as
this maverick risk-taker,
but really he's just a poker player
gambling with his brother's money.
And Clellan was a pushover.
It was his biggest -
perhaps only - flaw.
We have a word for people
like him in Norway -
toffelhelt.
It's Mark Twain who said that
there's only two things in life
that are for certain
- death and taxes.
There is a third.
That with Shay Coburn in charge,
CGO will disappear long
before oil ever does. Mm.
Shay Coburn isn't in charge.
You are.
That's him. That's
Rory Dashford.
Rory?
Rory!
Hey Hey!
Hey, are you trying to kill me?
Let's calm down, Rory.
You two are quite done?
Whoa.
What's this all about, eh?
It's a shame I've
only got the one pair.
Come on, let's get
this over with.
Rory Dashford, I am arresting
you under section one
of the Criminal Justice for
Scotland Act, for murder.
Everything?
Lock, stock and every
42 gallon barrel.
Clellan and I talked many
times about many things,
but never about that.
You sure?
It must have been pretty personal to
make him leave you his entire estate.
Oh, I didn't make Clellan
do anything. Persuade, then.
Huh
God, how very disappointing.
Do you know how many times do I have
to put up with insinuations like that?
Every time I walk into a room,
it's in every glare, every whisper.
Not just the men. Women, too.
But as an innovator,
do you know what I find more
offensive than the actual
comment itself, Detective?
It's the lack of imagination.
See, I'm not paid to
have an imagination.
I'm paid to find the facts.
Did you have a sexual
relationship with Clellan Coburn?
No, I didn't.
Clellan did leave one other
bequest. To us, actually.
A flash drive.
We're trying to trace
who gave it to him.
OK, I don't know what
you're talking about, but
instead of focusing on those
who benefit from Clellan's death,
why don't you look
at those who doesn't?
Yeah. Hell hath no fury
like a brother scorned.
Is it so hard to believe that
Shay knew about the will?
He has eyes everywhere.
Let us worry about Shay Coburn.
I wanted the merger to happen,
I wanted it passionately.
Why would I kill Clellan?
Because maybe you knew
about the will, too.
You also knew Clellan
came with baggage.
Yeah, and if there's no
Clellan, there's no baggage.
You have complete control
now of both companies.
All you need to do is
update the paperwork,
throw in a clause removing Shay.
You're done and
dusted by Friday. Mm.
You make a strong case.
The facts make the case.
Well, then, allow
me to correct one.
There was no baggage because
Shay wasn't supposed to be a part
of Coburn Renewables.
The removal clause
was already in there.
And Clellan agreed to it?
It was Clellan's idea.
Guv's still out. He's going
to quiz Rory in the morning.
Did you have to
arrest him, Bart?
He ran.
Lindo
"When I'm ready." I tell you
A bit of sensitivity
would be appreciated.
Rory Dashford, #CoburnKiller
- it's all over social media.
That bloody barmaid. It
It just kind of slipped out.
You know what else is
slipping? Our credibility.
Shay Coburn saw it, didn't he?
The whole flipping world saw it!
You know, and that is
the second time today
that Shay has been at the
bottom of our call list.
Although I may have got on his
case about ID-ing his brother.
What, he's still not done it?
No! No, and Doc
Gavin's that impatient
he's probably committing
his own murder
just so he's got
something to cut up.
Look, mistakes are fine as long as
we're learning lessons from them.
Yes? BOTH: Yes, boss.
Now, now you've only get
Dashwood for 24 hours.
Do your homework first.
Sorry, I'm never late. Never.
I read your notes on
Karolina Andersen.
Clellan was about to drop Shay.
We should bring him.
24 hours you've been here, soldier,
and you think you run the place.
Sit down, have a nap.
Be a good little rookie.
The most serious thing on
Rory's record is petty theft.
Well, maybe he's
stepping things up.
To first degree murder?
Look at him.
He's terrified.
Wouldn't you be?
Honestly? Not if
I was guilty, no.
No comment.
It's not a no comment
question, Rory, OK?
No comment.
Suit yourself.
But if you do want a solicitor,
let us know, all right?
No comment. OK, look,
this "no comment" crap
might work on the telly, but
in real life, not a good look.
Not when you're bang to rights on
camera threatening to kill a guy
who then actually gets killed.
It's time to start
talking, Rory.
I can't! You can't?
No, no, really.
I mean I can't.
The whole night is a blank.
Look, whatever happened to Coburn,
I had nothing to do with it.
Well, how do you know if
the night was a A blank?
You're going to fit me
up for this, aren't you?
I mean, you're
fitting yourself up.
Look, you probably wouldn't
be sitting there right now
if you hadn't have run.
So why did you, if
you're innocent?
Because you lot called me
a killer on the internet!
For the purposes of the DIR,
Detective Chief Inspector MacMillan
has just entered the room.
Mallick, got five?
Definitely.
Interview suspended at 09:45.
That boy is no more Clellan
Coburn's killer than I am.
You're not serious?
About Rory?
I'm serious about all suspects.
He's only in there
because he ran,
and he only ran because
of something we
I did.
No, Rory's in there because he
threatened to kill Clellan Coburn.
It's just too easy, isn't it?
The Rorys of this world.
Meaning?
There's two actual
suspects out there,
but we're not going
nowhere near them.
Why? Because they're important,
influential, powerful.
What's more important
than finding the truth?
Be very careful with the
next words out of your mouth.
Rory Dashford and
others like him,
we put them in
pathetic paper suits
every time they
shout a bit too loud,
because Rory's not important,
Rory hasn't got influence,
and Rory hasn't got power.
But he has got
DNA, tonnes of it.
All over the key, along with
another unidentified strand.
So you've heard of the
three strikes rule?
I have, boss.
Well, this is your second.
And if you think
I'm kidding, then
you're welcome to try me.
You see, this is my team, Lindo,
and you're privileged
to be on it.
So if I hear crap like that
again, I will drop you.
Understood?
Boss.
I heard you were down here.
If MacMillan had her way,
I'd be halfway across
the Atlantic Ocean,
cuffed to a food
trolley. In a paper suit?
I'm sorry, Bart.
I don't know what that was
about. It wasn't personal.
I know.
Because you don't know me.
When I was a rookie, it took me
two months to even open my mouth.
But I'm not a rookie.
I've been doing
this for ten years.
Different battlefields.
Look, no-one thinks
you're stupid.
Stop treating us like we are.
You left these in the ops room.
Thanks.
You coming, or what?
Oh, here they are.
Poster Boy and Supergirl.
Actually, I think
I'll just head home.
Permission denied.
And now for a closer look
at the life and career
of Clellan Coburn
as local residents come to terms
with the news of his
shocking and untimely death.
Growing up when
somebody close died,
we'd celebrate the life
and joy of the person, the whole
family, friends telling stories,
plenty of food, rum and music.
We call it Nine-Night.
I wonder if anyone's doing that
for Clellan Coburn tonight.
Clellan.
Clellan.
Who died? When you
were growing up?
My mother.
How old were you?
14. Oof, man.
I'm so sorry.
Private party, hmm?
Oh, just winding down, guv. Aye?
Well, so are we.
Don't you want to come over and
bond with your new regiment?
Maybe we could find some, what
do you call it, commonality?
I'm just having the one, thanks.
Whatever floats your
helicopter, soldier.
What's that?
Royal Military Police, guv.
What is your problem, huh?
No-one's got a problem, guv. Oh,
are you speaking for him now?
I'm going to catch up.
Thanks for the drink and
just, thanks.
That's right. Run away.
I heard you're
quite good at that.
What did the guv mean about you
being quite good at running away?
What does Google say?
Don't tempt me.
Maybe the guv thinks leaving
the army and coming here
was running away. And was it?
I just want to be a detective.
Why did you follow me?
To see what you were following.
Just a hunch.
We need to speak to Isla Breck.
Aye, Rory was here
all night on Sunday.
Right to last orders?
No, I mean he was
here all night.
He slept on my couch.
I live upstairs.
That a regular thing?
Only when he gets so
drunk he blocks out.
You think I'm
irresponsible, don't you?
Letting him get in such a state?
We're not here to judge.
Rory's got demons.
I don't know what they are, but
he's going to drink regardless.
If I let him do it here
at least he's safe.
I have proof, detectives.
Got it.
What's the time stamp on that?
7:12.
And that's him leaving,
10:04 Monday morning.
He's definitely wearing
the same clothes.
You're sure he couldn't have
slipped out during the night
and returned
without you knowing?
The only place
slipped that night,
Detective, was into his
own unconsciousness.
We're going to need
a copy of that tape.
Right
Wait.
This does mean Rory's
cleared, right?
You're going to release him?
We'll assess what you've given
us along with the other evidence.
What other evidence?
There can't be any.
He wasn't there.
He didn't do it.
We can't discuss
that, I'm afraid.
Thanks for your time, Mrs Breck.
Do you believe her?
Even if I did, it still
doesn't explain Rory's key
at the crime scene.
There's no trace of him
on anything else, though.
Gloves, Lindo.
We should test his clothes. They're
bagged at the station, right?
Yes. They're being tested.
Why do you think we put
him in the paper suit?
Oh, apart from wanting to
dehumanise him, obviously.
We should tell Mallick at least.
No chance.
You saw the state of him earlier,
imagine what he'll be like now.
Go home, Lindo. Get some rest.
We'll update everyone
in the morning.
Safety in numbers.
Safety from what?
You can't be serious, Bart.
Ted Bundy had better
alibis than that.
CCTV's useless, right?
It's watching from the front.
Dashwood could have just
slipped out the back.
He wasn't capable of going
anywhere, according to Isla Breck.
Well, if Rory did sneak
out, his phone stayed
in Isla Breck's flat.
Got his data back.
At least his phone's
got an alibi, eh, Bart?
Sorry, am I doing this myself?
This was your hunch.
Trying to think before I speak.
Right, Shay Coburn on the
wonder board, please, Monty.
Quick as you like.
So, two whole days
and he still hasn't
identified his own brother.
Maybe he's afraid of what
the doc's going to find.
Mm, that's what I'm
beginning to think.
Maybe we have afforded
him too much respect.
Right. The high-tech crime unit, what
are they doing with the flash drive?
We're in a queue. They're thankful
for our patience and our custom
is very important to them.
And the mystery DNA on the key?
What about Isla Breck?
Who's Isla Breck, now?
She runs Rory's local. She
alibi-ed him for Sunday night.
And did you get her DNA?
No.
We were off duty.
You're never off duty
in a murder case.
Your pocket should be
stuffed with swab kits.
Now, go on.
Incriminate her
or eliminate her,
I don't care which.
Not you as well.
Why? Who else was
asking for her?
Didn't get a name.
Came in an hour ago and whisked
her off for a long lunch.
Can you describe him? Her.
30s, blonde, labels
all over the place.
Had a bit of an accent.
Yeah, that's her.
Well, something's going
on with them, guv.
Lindo
Listen, we're five minutes
from Andersen's hotel.
No, we've got to
tread carefully.
What, like we have
with Shay Coburn?
Look, Bart, if Andersen has been
holding back and she knows we know,
she'll be on the first plane to
Oslo and we'll never see her again.
It's Stavanger, guv.
I don't care if it's Timbuktu.
She's not leaving Aberdeen.
We could lose both of
them if we don't move now.
Drive over if you have to,
but you stay outside.
Do not enter that
hotel and do not
attempt to engage with
Karolina Andersen.
That's an order.
Guv.
How does it take an
hour to get here?
Maybe Karolina and
I are you know?
What, an item?
Just trying to think of
anything that might link them.
The three main motives for
murder - money, sex, revenge.
A lot of that going off
in the Army, was there?
Well, not so much the money.
How would they meet,
anyway, Isla and Karolina?
I mean, they're from
completely different worlds.
Yeah, this is 2022, Bart.
And there is Isla Breck.
The person you're calling
Oh, damn it, Mallick!
We're not just
going to sit here?
You heard him, stay put.
Bart, come on!
You're on your third
strike, remember?
He said not to approach
Andersen. I know.
He didn't say
anything about Isla.
OK, Lindo. But my way.
Slow down.
We don't want to alert her.
I know how to follow
a suspect, Lindo.
What the?
No Bart?
No, no, no Lindo!
Lindo!
Three Delta Echo Seven,
this is DS Bartlett,
North-eastern MIT.
I need a response unit
to Windmill Brae, now!
Detective!
Abduction in progress,
confirm one hostage.
Repeat, confirm one hostage.
Update, confirm two hostages.
Repeat, confirm two hostages.
Davis!
