Rebus (2024) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
Just you remember,
the reason your missus and your kid
have left you is because
you couldnae gie them
the life they wanted either.
I'm sorry.
I can't have this happening in
the middle of the town, John.
He's been trained to do that.
Sergeant.
Professional standards.
Is he? If you'd told him you knew me,
you'd be persona non
grata on your first day.
Well, I felt bad ignoring you.
Here's another bill that we cannae pay.
Get on your knees!
She's seeing someone else.
She's shagging someone,
I'm telling you. I know it.
No, she'll just be needing a
bit of time to herself, mate.
You told him about
you and her yet?
I'll be in touch.
I think I've had a breakthrough.
A breakthrough? Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the right thing to say,
isn't it? Breakthrough?
I was at my ex-wife's new house.
This
big new house.
Mansion. It's a mansion
I had to pick up Sammy.
And was her new husband there? Lockie?
Yes
Lockie was there. Lachlan.
Still the only
Lockie I've ever met.
No-one at my school was called Lockie.
Or Lachlan.
Well, anyway, so I went there,
and did all the usual
I stood on the steps of,
you know, his mansion, and er,
was being all grown up, shaking his hand,
his two
fucking Sorry.
It's OK.His two, er,
80 grand cars in the drive and
And so, I did all of that
And I didn't want to kill him.
It's the first time I've been
and not wanted to kill the guy.
And I thought
this is a breakthrough, John.
You're having You're
having a breakthrough.
And you didn't feel
any resentment at all?
No, nothing.
All gone.
And you didn't get that urge you get?
You know, to do something silly?
No, no.
It was just
I
I think I felt relieved.
Relieved?
In what way?
In every way.
I think they're better off
with him than they are with me.
Do you mean in monetary terms?
Or in terms of your job?
It's not just the job.
Things feel like they're unravelling,
everything's slipping out of control.
Like we're We're on the
way somewhere to something.
And it's not going to be good.
It feels like Rhona and
Sammy being with Lockie
puts them on the other
side of that fence.
They're safe now.
What brought that on?
I don't know.
Sorry.
No, don't apologise.
Hmm
I know how I've been.
I've been feeling
sorry for myself.
No, you haven't I have
I've been a pain in the arse.
But I think I know
what to do now.
I can see a way through.Mm
OK
OK OK, so there's
There's no gangsters in Edinburgh?
That's what he said.
He said there's only people
who think they're gangsters.
OK, nice, nice
So, what the fuck are we, then?
He said a polisman told him.
Oh, a polisman? What fucking polisman?
I don't know.
I told him about yous
I told him he was
robbing Darryl Christie.
You said what?
I told him
You don't mention anybody's fucking name!
Are you fucking stupid?
You don't mention anybody's fucking name!
You understand, son?
What else did he fucking say?
He said, "Why don't you have a stag on?"
What? "A stag on"?!
What the fuck's a stag on?
He said it's basic camp security.
All right, is he taking the fucking piss?
What the fuck are you two
cunts going on about?
I feel like you're just talking
a load of fucking shite to me.
And what I really
want to know, son,
is why you've nae got
a mark on your face,
why you didnae put up a fight.
He had a gun!
He had a gun? Oh, so,
he can fight back, but you can't?
All right.
Well, come on, sit down.
Come on, sit down,
get comfortable.
Sit down!
Urgh!
Argh Look at me, son
I got a question for you.
What hand do you wank with? Huh?
What handed are you?
Right-handed.
No! Argh!
Right, you You took
the kicking, well done.
What finger should he lose?
We'll get the money back.
It's nae about the money, son.
What finger should he lose?
What finger should he lose?
His pinky.
No!
Oh, his pinky? What,
for five grand?
No!
Nice, nice.
Right, cut it off.
No.What do you mean, no? Cut it off.
He's my mate. He's your what?
He's your mate?
No, no, no, no, son
There's no mates in this game.
Don't you see what he did there?
Come on, use your brain.
What, you took the kicking
and him and some other cunt,
they're off with
the fucking money.
He set you up, son.
Cut his fucking finger off, now
I'll dae anything else.
Do whatever you say!
Whatever I say?
All right. Did you hear that?
Whatever I say.
All right. Whatever I say.
Right, shut him up for me.
No!
I still don't know if
it's doing me any good.
Well, it must be, if you're still going
I feel bad for her
Andrea.
My wee shrink.
I feel like I have to make her
feel like she's helping me.
You know? I feel a deep
sense of obligation to her.
What progress have you made
on McJagger's stabbing?
You found the man who intervened yet?
Er
Shiv got a name.
She went round a few
different homeless places.
He's called Andy Rolland.
He's ex-Royal
Regiment of Scotland.
One of the workers at the homeless
projects recognised his picture,
thinks he's got a spot off
a close on the high street
I'll go there now. Good, good
I need to see some progress.
There's a bus load of traumatised
tourists tweeting about it.
How do you think
that makes us look?
Aye. Aye, everybody loves a Highland
warrior until they meet one.
Highland warrior, my arse.
Come on, now!
Relax
Come on.
Shouldwe not have parked
at the top and walked down?
You're in the city of John Knox, Shiv.
Life's supposed to be difficult.
John
I'm glad I caught you.
I'm sorry you found out
from Sammy about
I can't talk the now, Rhona
I'm busy. I don't have time.
Well, we need to talk about it,
John, so phone me back
I will.
For fuck's sake
Ho!
What the fuck are yous doing?!
Rebus?
He was a decent guy,
your brother
I liked him.
How's he doing?
Ah, he's fine.
Still a miserable bastard, like,
but, er that's a family trait.
How long have you been out?
About six weeks now.
No, I meant the army,
not the jail.
Ah, got you. Er
About three years.
Do you recognise either of them?
No
I just
I saw the lad with the knife.
I think I thought they're going
to kill him, so I just steamed in.
You probably did
save his life, eh?
So it's a good thing you did.
Do you remember anything else?
I think that one had
a tattoo on his neck.
What of?
I don't know.
Just looked like a tat.
Wasn't a birthmark or anything,
it was ink.
That's a start.
Why did you run away?
I don't know.
I'm just out the jail, eh? I
I panicked.
Well, you didnae do anything wrong
Well, can I go now, then?
Here, let me give you something
I don't want your money
It's for your time.
Here.
The brew's fine.
Andy!
Fight for your country,
thank you very much,
now piss off and don't bother us.
Is that why you went easy on him?
I didnae go easy on him.
You were going on about my tribe
I know who yours are now.
It's a fact. The jails are full
of ex-servicemen and no-one cares
I don't think it's really
like that any more.
There's plenty of charities.
There's Help For Heroes, and all that.
And Poppy Day lasts longer
than Christmas these days.
He just doesn't want to get help,
that's his problem.
Male pride.
I don't have that.
You can get the teas
I'm just saying, you can
help yourself if you want.
What do you want?
Michael, I ken you don't
want to talk to me.
Just listen. It's about someone you know.
A boy that was in your battalion,
Andrew Rolland.
What about him?
He's a witness in something.
Ah, so you want my help now?
Ah, come on to fuck, Michael
The boy needs help, eh?
I just
I thought maybe you could
get through to him, but
Cos I doubt anyone else will.
Hello.Neil. Michael. How you doing, pal?
I'm all right, Mick. How's you?
I'm fine, mate, you know. You see it all.
Aye, tell me about it.
Yeah, listen, mate,
what you up to?
I've just heard a bit
of news about a laddie
that used to be in your platoon.
I think we should set up
a trust fund for Sammy.
A trust fund?
My dad set one up for me and
my brother when we were born.
And, obviously, with our news,
I'm going to do one for him
I just didn't want
Sammy to feel left out.
She wouldn't. She won't.
How do you know?
She wouldn't expect anything like that.
It's about opportunity, isn't it?
Giving her the freedom to do
what she wants in the future.
If her brother has that and she didn't,
well, it wouldn't be fair.
How much are we talking about?
I know? 1 million isn't much
these days, but it's a start
?1 million.
Are you kidding?
No.
I don't know. I would have
to talk to her dad about it.
I wish I'd been the
one to tell him.
He won't like a trust fund
He's quite Presbyterian at times.
And I don't want Sammy growing
up not having to work
I want her to have a
purpose when she's older.
And she'd still have that
You'd instil that in her.
This is about fairness.
Hi. Here for James McJagger.
OK, one second, please.
There is internal bruising
Shiv!
Put the fucking knife down!
Do you hear me? Put the
Get the fuck off me! Please!
Still! Keep still!
Or I will break your fucking arm!
Keep still, do you hear me?!
Help! Can we get some
fucking help in here!
Help!
We need a central line
just now. Adrenaline.
Keep the pressure on the wound
Cross stitch. I've got it.
I need some more help, now!
Argh! Don't move!
Don't move!
Stab wound in the neck
Got him, got him.
Central line please. Adrenaline, please.
Get an IV and I need a central line
Get more help!
Not happy?
No, they are not happy.
McJagger's just been stabbed to death
in a hospital bed
in broad daylight.
That boy, Jack.
He wasn't one of the people who was
involved in the initial assault.
He's too slight.
No, it must be connected.
Yeah, he's been put up to it by someone.
Has he said anything?
Just his name
He's still in shock.
He's from Edinburgh,
but he gave an address in Fife
68
Keir Hardie Gardens
Keir Hardie Gardens?
My brother's been staying there
I'll get on to P division in Fife,
get them to check out the address.
Listen
erm
Imight have a name for
who could be involved here
Darryl Christie.
And how did you get this information?
Cafferty
I didn't go to him. He phoned me.
And why do you think he
would phone you, John?
Cafferty phoned me
He told me he had some information.
It would have been remiss
of me not to listen.
We're not here to do what Cafferty wants.
We're not!
We're solving the case.
Christie was in Polmont when
he was 17 for a stabbing.
He's got form.
There is a link between
Cafferty and Christie.
Christie's dad used to
worked for Cafferty.
But he committed suicide
It was a while back.
Must have been round the time
that Darryl went to jail.
Erm, so, did And we investigated it?
Mm. Won't be in the system,
it's too long ago,
so I'll get on to
records about it
I can go and see Christie.
Don't let Cafferty think that
you're doing this for him.
I mean it. I'm not doing it for him.
I'm the one who knows
what happened between you.
And if you're not telling
me the truth here
I know what you did for me, Gill.
I don't have long here
I have a pension. Big pension.
And nothing or no-one is
going to put that at risk.
Understand?
I just want to retire and drink
myself to death in peace.
That's the dream.
Open or closed?
Shut it.
You done your statement?
Yeah.
How you feeling?
Fine. Yeah.
Good.
Thanks, by the way.
You know, for in the room.
Don't be silly
I slipped.
He had a few years on you, so
What you trying to say, like?
I mean it, though.
Yeah, you would've done the same for me.
I think.
Ger Cafferty phoned
me up yesterday.
I think the attack on
Jimmy maybe spooked him.
He gave me a name
Darryl Christie.
I don't know him
I think you and me should
go and say hello to him.
I don't want charity from anyone, Mick.
I don't want a free ride
I just want to earn money.
Proper money, you know?
Everybody's in the
same boat, Neil
I'm sick of it.
Do you remember what we always
used to say to each other?
Before we left?
Fuck's sake, Andy.
Look at the state of you.
Come on, son.
Kick! One, two, hook.
Again.
I appreciate that, man. Thanks, man. OK.
That young boy Jack's
gone and killed McJagger.
Look, I never expected
him to do it, all right?
What did you fucking
take him there for, then?
Well, he said he'd do anything.
So, I said, "OK, you fucking wide-o, why don't you
get in there and kill this fucking cunt for us?"
I thought he'd just jump out
and fuck off. But he never.
Look, it's Barry, Darryl. He's pan breed.
Which is what you wanted, no?
And what if the cunt grasses? Eh?
What if the shock wears off and
he realises he's going to do life?
It's fine, man. Nothing
connects him to you anyway.
You do.
Nash.
I like your tattoo, Shaun.
Oh, aye?
Aye.
We'll catch up soon.
Mr Christie
I'm Detective Sergeant Rebus.
Yeah, I know who you are
Oh, do you? Mm-hm.
Did you hear about that
business at the hospital today?
I did. Terrible.
And where have you been today?
You know, round about. Why?
Because I want to know why that
young laddie killed McJagger,
and I heard it might have
something to do with you.
Me? No.
No?
McJagger works for Cafferty.
And?
Darryl did a bit of time when
he was younger for a stabbing.
And now look at all this.
Pleased to meet you.
Detective Constable
Siobhan Clarke.
Pleased to meet you, Siobhan
I just want you to know, Darryl,
if anything else happens
you're going to be
my first port of call.
And I'll do everything I can to help.
I'm always open
to helping people.
Always.
You be careful, Darryl.
You be very careful.
You have a nice day, Siobhan.
Chicken, aye.
Meat and that. But I didn't know
they put security tags in noodles.
Aye, but you shouldn't have
been shoplifting anything!
We've never done noodles before
So you've done all this before!?
Move. Get out!
What's up?
Chrissie, darling, how you doing?
Neil. Long time, no see.
Hiya. How you doing?
This is Andy. He was in Delta Company.
Listen, I just need to get
something for Neil from the shed.
All right? You all right?
Where'd you get it?
I'm not going to
be a victim, Neil.
We know the army doesnae gie a
fuck about us once we've left.
There's too many boys cannae hack
it when they come out. Not me.
Buy your wee one something.
If there's anything you
need me for, pal
just shout.
You didn't phone me back,
so I came round.
No, I, erm
I forgot.
Sorry.
I brought you some groceries
in case you're not eating.
You better come in, then
Italian-style ground coffee.
Your favourite.
I wanted to be the
one who told you.
I'm fine.
Honestly. It's all good.
It wasn't something we'd planned
I mean, we'd talked about it,
and, you know
But we weren't expecting
it to happen so quick.
Same as Sammy.
That's not what
happened with Sammy.
She was conceived
on New Year's Eve.
New Year's Day. Same thing.
Scotland's fertility festival.
Stop it.
I meant what I
said when I phoned!
Congratulations!
And to Lockie! Tell him that!
I will.
When are you due?
Round about Christmas.
A saviour.
Seriously though, if it's a boy, right
you give him a proper name.
Don't go calling
him Crawford or
Finlay
or any of that "Gay-lic" shite.
"Gah-lic."
"Gah-lic." You know what I mean.
Thank you.
Mm, not bad.
What does Sammy think?
She says she's excited.
A little brother or sister.
I didn't mean to drop her
in it when she phoned.
Oh, she's very annoyed at you
Says you're a grass
I'm a copper, I have to grass
I told her that.
Have you made it up with Michael yet?
No, not yet.
Well, I was thinking I would
like to go round and see them.
I don't know.
How?
I think they might be
a wee bit embarrassed.
You know how folk get when
things aren't going so well.
You're not trying to keep
me from them, are you?
No. No, I'm not
I genuine I think they
might be embarrassed.
It's like you're intruding around there.
Well, I can't do any worse
than you've done, can I?
No.
Maybe not.
So
Lockie was talking about setting
up a trust fund for Sammy today.
A trust fund?
He's in such a bubble.
That's great.
It's not great, John. Aye, it is.
I'd have loved me a trust fund.
What? Do you not
want him to do it?
I worry.
I worry about what it might do to her.
Tell him I'll take it.
How much is he
wanting to give her?
I don't know.
I just find it all a bit
disorientating, you know?
Just the ease of it all.
Well, I say, fill your boots.
Do you think that, though?
I do.
I'm happy for you.
You will go and see Michael,
won't you? For Sammy's sake.
The boys are her cousins.
OK
I will.
Oh, hey!
How was your day?
Anything exciting happen?
I don't know how you do it.
It sounds so grim and depressing.
Mm
And dangerous.
It's badly paid, too.
Why do you do it?
I could get you a job with me.
You're beginning to sound
like my parents, Kirsten
I've told you, don't
Don't do that.
Hello, Malcolm
I heard what happened at the
hospital today. Are you all right?
I'm fine. I could come round,
if you want.
No, honestly, I'm
I'm totally fine. I just want to sleep.
Right, OK.I'll
I'll see you tomorrow, OK?
Erm, OK. You know best. Bye.
Do you fancy going out?
Yeah.Yeah. Come on.
I need you to be
straight with me.
I don't mind a bevvy
but are you using
anything else?
No.
I swear.
I'm clean.
You're welcome to stay here until
we get something sorted out.
Thank you.
Hey, you don't need to thank me, son.
Michael, we don't have room
to swing a cat in here.
He's no a cat, though, is he?
We cannae afford another mouth to feed.
It might just be for a few days
We'll manage.
I'm sick of managing.
And what about the boys?
Shoplifting.
Ach, they were only
trying to help.
They're good lads.
Aye, but that disnae matter if
they've got a criminal record.
It's OK, Chrissie.
Come on
I'll deal with it.
I promise.
Things are going to be better.
How?
How are they?
What's this?
Me and the lads,
we did a bit of work together.
What bit of work?
Just relax
I'll explain everything later.
No, Michael, you need to
tell me what's going on.
What the fuck?
What you wanting?
No. No more.
Aren't you drunk? I'm fine.
What's wrong with you?
I'm in the polis.
All right?
Fine.
And yourself?
I'm all right.
Listen
about the other day
I shouldn't have
done it to you.
I'm sorry.
It was a lucky punch
You took me unawares.
Aye, it was lucky, you're right.
That flat you said there
was drug dealing in.
Where was that?
Erm
Top landing.
Last one on the right.
Is that number 68 by any chance?
Something like that.
How?
There was a murder at
the General today
And the boy that did it
gave that flat as his address.
Maybe I should listen to you.
Aye.
It was on the news.
You thought something
was going on over there.
You never know the half of it.
Where did you get that money?
I told you.
I did a bit of work
For Neil.
It's all good.
We've got enough to pay the bills
That's what matters. Nothing else.
Aye.
Hello?!
Fuck.
Nearly there.
Is it OK if I get my head down?
Course.
I suppose with you being in jail,
you know who people are?
Well, aye.
You kind of have
to know who's who.
You ever heard of someone
called Darryl Christie?
Aye.
He owns a gym. How?
We'll talk about
it in the morning.
It's going to be OK, son
the reason your missus and your kid
have left you is because
you couldnae gie them
the life they wanted either.
I'm sorry.
I can't have this happening in
the middle of the town, John.
He's been trained to do that.
Sergeant.
Professional standards.
Is he? If you'd told him you knew me,
you'd be persona non
grata on your first day.
Well, I felt bad ignoring you.
Here's another bill that we cannae pay.
Get on your knees!
She's seeing someone else.
She's shagging someone,
I'm telling you. I know it.
No, she'll just be needing a
bit of time to herself, mate.
You told him about
you and her yet?
I'll be in touch.
I think I've had a breakthrough.
A breakthrough? Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the right thing to say,
isn't it? Breakthrough?
I was at my ex-wife's new house.
This
big new house.
Mansion. It's a mansion
I had to pick up Sammy.
And was her new husband there? Lockie?
Yes
Lockie was there. Lachlan.
Still the only
Lockie I've ever met.
No-one at my school was called Lockie.
Or Lachlan.
Well, anyway, so I went there,
and did all the usual
I stood on the steps of,
you know, his mansion, and er,
was being all grown up, shaking his hand,
his two
fucking Sorry.
It's OK.His two, er,
80 grand cars in the drive and
And so, I did all of that
And I didn't want to kill him.
It's the first time I've been
and not wanted to kill the guy.
And I thought
this is a breakthrough, John.
You're having You're
having a breakthrough.
And you didn't feel
any resentment at all?
No, nothing.
All gone.
And you didn't get that urge you get?
You know, to do something silly?
No, no.
It was just
I
I think I felt relieved.
Relieved?
In what way?
In every way.
I think they're better off
with him than they are with me.
Do you mean in monetary terms?
Or in terms of your job?
It's not just the job.
Things feel like they're unravelling,
everything's slipping out of control.
Like we're We're on the
way somewhere to something.
And it's not going to be good.
It feels like Rhona and
Sammy being with Lockie
puts them on the other
side of that fence.
They're safe now.
What brought that on?
I don't know.
Sorry.
No, don't apologise.
Hmm
I know how I've been.
I've been feeling
sorry for myself.
No, you haven't I have
I've been a pain in the arse.
But I think I know
what to do now.
I can see a way through.Mm
OK
OK OK, so there's
There's no gangsters in Edinburgh?
That's what he said.
He said there's only people
who think they're gangsters.
OK, nice, nice
So, what the fuck are we, then?
He said a polisman told him.
Oh, a polisman? What fucking polisman?
I don't know.
I told him about yous
I told him he was
robbing Darryl Christie.
You said what?
I told him
You don't mention anybody's fucking name!
Are you fucking stupid?
You don't mention anybody's fucking name!
You understand, son?
What else did he fucking say?
He said, "Why don't you have a stag on?"
What? "A stag on"?!
What the fuck's a stag on?
He said it's basic camp security.
All right, is he taking the fucking piss?
What the fuck are you two
cunts going on about?
I feel like you're just talking
a load of fucking shite to me.
And what I really
want to know, son,
is why you've nae got
a mark on your face,
why you didnae put up a fight.
He had a gun!
He had a gun? Oh, so,
he can fight back, but you can't?
All right.
Well, come on, sit down.
Come on, sit down,
get comfortable.
Sit down!
Urgh!
Argh Look at me, son
I got a question for you.
What hand do you wank with? Huh?
What handed are you?
Right-handed.
No! Argh!
Right, you You took
the kicking, well done.
What finger should he lose?
We'll get the money back.
It's nae about the money, son.
What finger should he lose?
What finger should he lose?
His pinky.
No!
Oh, his pinky? What,
for five grand?
No!
Nice, nice.
Right, cut it off.
No.What do you mean, no? Cut it off.
He's my mate. He's your what?
He's your mate?
No, no, no, no, son
There's no mates in this game.
Don't you see what he did there?
Come on, use your brain.
What, you took the kicking
and him and some other cunt,
they're off with
the fucking money.
He set you up, son.
Cut his fucking finger off, now
I'll dae anything else.
Do whatever you say!
Whatever I say?
All right. Did you hear that?
Whatever I say.
All right. Whatever I say.
Right, shut him up for me.
No!
I still don't know if
it's doing me any good.
Well, it must be, if you're still going
I feel bad for her
Andrea.
My wee shrink.
I feel like I have to make her
feel like she's helping me.
You know? I feel a deep
sense of obligation to her.
What progress have you made
on McJagger's stabbing?
You found the man who intervened yet?
Er
Shiv got a name.
She went round a few
different homeless places.
He's called Andy Rolland.
He's ex-Royal
Regiment of Scotland.
One of the workers at the homeless
projects recognised his picture,
thinks he's got a spot off
a close on the high street
I'll go there now. Good, good
I need to see some progress.
There's a bus load of traumatised
tourists tweeting about it.
How do you think
that makes us look?
Aye. Aye, everybody loves a Highland
warrior until they meet one.
Highland warrior, my arse.
Come on, now!
Relax
Come on.
Shouldwe not have parked
at the top and walked down?
You're in the city of John Knox, Shiv.
Life's supposed to be difficult.
John
I'm glad I caught you.
I'm sorry you found out
from Sammy about
I can't talk the now, Rhona
I'm busy. I don't have time.
Well, we need to talk about it,
John, so phone me back
I will.
For fuck's sake
Ho!
What the fuck are yous doing?!
Rebus?
He was a decent guy,
your brother
I liked him.
How's he doing?
Ah, he's fine.
Still a miserable bastard, like,
but, er that's a family trait.
How long have you been out?
About six weeks now.
No, I meant the army,
not the jail.
Ah, got you. Er
About three years.
Do you recognise either of them?
No
I just
I saw the lad with the knife.
I think I thought they're going
to kill him, so I just steamed in.
You probably did
save his life, eh?
So it's a good thing you did.
Do you remember anything else?
I think that one had
a tattoo on his neck.
What of?
I don't know.
Just looked like a tat.
Wasn't a birthmark or anything,
it was ink.
That's a start.
Why did you run away?
I don't know.
I'm just out the jail, eh? I
I panicked.
Well, you didnae do anything wrong
Well, can I go now, then?
Here, let me give you something
I don't want your money
It's for your time.
Here.
The brew's fine.
Andy!
Fight for your country,
thank you very much,
now piss off and don't bother us.
Is that why you went easy on him?
I didnae go easy on him.
You were going on about my tribe
I know who yours are now.
It's a fact. The jails are full
of ex-servicemen and no-one cares
I don't think it's really
like that any more.
There's plenty of charities.
There's Help For Heroes, and all that.
And Poppy Day lasts longer
than Christmas these days.
He just doesn't want to get help,
that's his problem.
Male pride.
I don't have that.
You can get the teas
I'm just saying, you can
help yourself if you want.
What do you want?
Michael, I ken you don't
want to talk to me.
Just listen. It's about someone you know.
A boy that was in your battalion,
Andrew Rolland.
What about him?
He's a witness in something.
Ah, so you want my help now?
Ah, come on to fuck, Michael
The boy needs help, eh?
I just
I thought maybe you could
get through to him, but
Cos I doubt anyone else will.
Hello.Neil. Michael. How you doing, pal?
I'm all right, Mick. How's you?
I'm fine, mate, you know. You see it all.
Aye, tell me about it.
Yeah, listen, mate,
what you up to?
I've just heard a bit
of news about a laddie
that used to be in your platoon.
I think we should set up
a trust fund for Sammy.
A trust fund?
My dad set one up for me and
my brother when we were born.
And, obviously, with our news,
I'm going to do one for him
I just didn't want
Sammy to feel left out.
She wouldn't. She won't.
How do you know?
She wouldn't expect anything like that.
It's about opportunity, isn't it?
Giving her the freedom to do
what she wants in the future.
If her brother has that and she didn't,
well, it wouldn't be fair.
How much are we talking about?
I know? 1 million isn't much
these days, but it's a start
?1 million.
Are you kidding?
No.
I don't know. I would have
to talk to her dad about it.
I wish I'd been the
one to tell him.
He won't like a trust fund
He's quite Presbyterian at times.
And I don't want Sammy growing
up not having to work
I want her to have a
purpose when she's older.
And she'd still have that
You'd instil that in her.
This is about fairness.
Hi. Here for James McJagger.
OK, one second, please.
There is internal bruising
Shiv!
Put the fucking knife down!
Do you hear me? Put the
Get the fuck off me! Please!
Still! Keep still!
Or I will break your fucking arm!
Keep still, do you hear me?!
Help! Can we get some
fucking help in here!
Help!
We need a central line
just now. Adrenaline.
Keep the pressure on the wound
Cross stitch. I've got it.
I need some more help, now!
Argh! Don't move!
Don't move!
Stab wound in the neck
Got him, got him.
Central line please. Adrenaline, please.
Get an IV and I need a central line
Get more help!
Not happy?
No, they are not happy.
McJagger's just been stabbed to death
in a hospital bed
in broad daylight.
That boy, Jack.
He wasn't one of the people who was
involved in the initial assault.
He's too slight.
No, it must be connected.
Yeah, he's been put up to it by someone.
Has he said anything?
Just his name
He's still in shock.
He's from Edinburgh,
but he gave an address in Fife
68
Keir Hardie Gardens
Keir Hardie Gardens?
My brother's been staying there
I'll get on to P division in Fife,
get them to check out the address.
Listen
erm
Imight have a name for
who could be involved here
Darryl Christie.
And how did you get this information?
Cafferty
I didn't go to him. He phoned me.
And why do you think he
would phone you, John?
Cafferty phoned me
He told me he had some information.
It would have been remiss
of me not to listen.
We're not here to do what Cafferty wants.
We're not!
We're solving the case.
Christie was in Polmont when
he was 17 for a stabbing.
He's got form.
There is a link between
Cafferty and Christie.
Christie's dad used to
worked for Cafferty.
But he committed suicide
It was a while back.
Must have been round the time
that Darryl went to jail.
Erm, so, did And we investigated it?
Mm. Won't be in the system,
it's too long ago,
so I'll get on to
records about it
I can go and see Christie.
Don't let Cafferty think that
you're doing this for him.
I mean it. I'm not doing it for him.
I'm the one who knows
what happened between you.
And if you're not telling
me the truth here
I know what you did for me, Gill.
I don't have long here
I have a pension. Big pension.
And nothing or no-one is
going to put that at risk.
Understand?
I just want to retire and drink
myself to death in peace.
That's the dream.
Open or closed?
Shut it.
You done your statement?
Yeah.
How you feeling?
Fine. Yeah.
Good.
Thanks, by the way.
You know, for in the room.
Don't be silly
I slipped.
He had a few years on you, so
What you trying to say, like?
I mean it, though.
Yeah, you would've done the same for me.
I think.
Ger Cafferty phoned
me up yesterday.
I think the attack on
Jimmy maybe spooked him.
He gave me a name
Darryl Christie.
I don't know him
I think you and me should
go and say hello to him.
I don't want charity from anyone, Mick.
I don't want a free ride
I just want to earn money.
Proper money, you know?
Everybody's in the
same boat, Neil
I'm sick of it.
Do you remember what we always
used to say to each other?
Before we left?
Fuck's sake, Andy.
Look at the state of you.
Come on, son.
Kick! One, two, hook.
Again.
I appreciate that, man. Thanks, man. OK.
That young boy Jack's
gone and killed McJagger.
Look, I never expected
him to do it, all right?
What did you fucking
take him there for, then?
Well, he said he'd do anything.
So, I said, "OK, you fucking wide-o, why don't you
get in there and kill this fucking cunt for us?"
I thought he'd just jump out
and fuck off. But he never.
Look, it's Barry, Darryl. He's pan breed.
Which is what you wanted, no?
And what if the cunt grasses? Eh?
What if the shock wears off and
he realises he's going to do life?
It's fine, man. Nothing
connects him to you anyway.
You do.
Nash.
I like your tattoo, Shaun.
Oh, aye?
Aye.
We'll catch up soon.
Mr Christie
I'm Detective Sergeant Rebus.
Yeah, I know who you are
Oh, do you? Mm-hm.
Did you hear about that
business at the hospital today?
I did. Terrible.
And where have you been today?
You know, round about. Why?
Because I want to know why that
young laddie killed McJagger,
and I heard it might have
something to do with you.
Me? No.
No?
McJagger works for Cafferty.
And?
Darryl did a bit of time when
he was younger for a stabbing.
And now look at all this.
Pleased to meet you.
Detective Constable
Siobhan Clarke.
Pleased to meet you, Siobhan
I just want you to know, Darryl,
if anything else happens
you're going to be
my first port of call.
And I'll do everything I can to help.
I'm always open
to helping people.
Always.
You be careful, Darryl.
You be very careful.
You have a nice day, Siobhan.
Chicken, aye.
Meat and that. But I didn't know
they put security tags in noodles.
Aye, but you shouldn't have
been shoplifting anything!
We've never done noodles before
So you've done all this before!?
Move. Get out!
What's up?
Chrissie, darling, how you doing?
Neil. Long time, no see.
Hiya. How you doing?
This is Andy. He was in Delta Company.
Listen, I just need to get
something for Neil from the shed.
All right? You all right?
Where'd you get it?
I'm not going to
be a victim, Neil.
We know the army doesnae gie a
fuck about us once we've left.
There's too many boys cannae hack
it when they come out. Not me.
Buy your wee one something.
If there's anything you
need me for, pal
just shout.
You didn't phone me back,
so I came round.
No, I, erm
I forgot.
Sorry.
I brought you some groceries
in case you're not eating.
You better come in, then
Italian-style ground coffee.
Your favourite.
I wanted to be the
one who told you.
I'm fine.
Honestly. It's all good.
It wasn't something we'd planned
I mean, we'd talked about it,
and, you know
But we weren't expecting
it to happen so quick.
Same as Sammy.
That's not what
happened with Sammy.
She was conceived
on New Year's Eve.
New Year's Day. Same thing.
Scotland's fertility festival.
Stop it.
I meant what I
said when I phoned!
Congratulations!
And to Lockie! Tell him that!
I will.
When are you due?
Round about Christmas.
A saviour.
Seriously though, if it's a boy, right
you give him a proper name.
Don't go calling
him Crawford or
Finlay
or any of that "Gay-lic" shite.
"Gah-lic."
"Gah-lic." You know what I mean.
Thank you.
Mm, not bad.
What does Sammy think?
She says she's excited.
A little brother or sister.
I didn't mean to drop her
in it when she phoned.
Oh, she's very annoyed at you
Says you're a grass
I'm a copper, I have to grass
I told her that.
Have you made it up with Michael yet?
No, not yet.
Well, I was thinking I would
like to go round and see them.
I don't know.
How?
I think they might be
a wee bit embarrassed.
You know how folk get when
things aren't going so well.
You're not trying to keep
me from them, are you?
No. No, I'm not
I genuine I think they
might be embarrassed.
It's like you're intruding around there.
Well, I can't do any worse
than you've done, can I?
No.
Maybe not.
So
Lockie was talking about setting
up a trust fund for Sammy today.
A trust fund?
He's in such a bubble.
That's great.
It's not great, John. Aye, it is.
I'd have loved me a trust fund.
What? Do you not
want him to do it?
I worry.
I worry about what it might do to her.
Tell him I'll take it.
How much is he
wanting to give her?
I don't know.
I just find it all a bit
disorientating, you know?
Just the ease of it all.
Well, I say, fill your boots.
Do you think that, though?
I do.
I'm happy for you.
You will go and see Michael,
won't you? For Sammy's sake.
The boys are her cousins.
OK
I will.
Oh, hey!
How was your day?
Anything exciting happen?
I don't know how you do it.
It sounds so grim and depressing.
Mm
And dangerous.
It's badly paid, too.
Why do you do it?
I could get you a job with me.
You're beginning to sound
like my parents, Kirsten
I've told you, don't
Don't do that.
Hello, Malcolm
I heard what happened at the
hospital today. Are you all right?
I'm fine. I could come round,
if you want.
No, honestly, I'm
I'm totally fine. I just want to sleep.
Right, OK.I'll
I'll see you tomorrow, OK?
Erm, OK. You know best. Bye.
Do you fancy going out?
Yeah.Yeah. Come on.
I need you to be
straight with me.
I don't mind a bevvy
but are you using
anything else?
No.
I swear.
I'm clean.
You're welcome to stay here until
we get something sorted out.
Thank you.
Hey, you don't need to thank me, son.
Michael, we don't have room
to swing a cat in here.
He's no a cat, though, is he?
We cannae afford another mouth to feed.
It might just be for a few days
We'll manage.
I'm sick of managing.
And what about the boys?
Shoplifting.
Ach, they were only
trying to help.
They're good lads.
Aye, but that disnae matter if
they've got a criminal record.
It's OK, Chrissie.
Come on
I'll deal with it.
I promise.
Things are going to be better.
How?
How are they?
What's this?
Me and the lads,
we did a bit of work together.
What bit of work?
Just relax
I'll explain everything later.
No, Michael, you need to
tell me what's going on.
What the fuck?
What you wanting?
No. No more.
Aren't you drunk? I'm fine.
What's wrong with you?
I'm in the polis.
All right?
Fine.
And yourself?
I'm all right.
Listen
about the other day
I shouldn't have
done it to you.
I'm sorry.
It was a lucky punch
You took me unawares.
Aye, it was lucky, you're right.
That flat you said there
was drug dealing in.
Where was that?
Erm
Top landing.
Last one on the right.
Is that number 68 by any chance?
Something like that.
How?
There was a murder at
the General today
And the boy that did it
gave that flat as his address.
Maybe I should listen to you.
Aye.
It was on the news.
You thought something
was going on over there.
You never know the half of it.
Where did you get that money?
I told you.
I did a bit of work
For Neil.
It's all good.
We've got enough to pay the bills
That's what matters. Nothing else.
Aye.
Hello?!
Fuck.
Nearly there.
Is it OK if I get my head down?
Course.
I suppose with you being in jail,
you know who people are?
Well, aye.
You kind of have
to know who's who.
You ever heard of someone
called Darryl Christie?
Aye.
He owns a gym. How?
We'll talk about
it in the morning.
It's going to be OK, son
