Episode 3

1
When mum has her new baby,
I won't hit him.
I'm sorry you found
out from Sammy.
I'm happy for you.
There's drug dealing
going on around here.
Boy up the road told me they
were gangsters from Edinburgh.
But there's nae gangsters
in Edinburgh, Michael -
just boys that think they are.
I have a name for you.
Darryl Christie.
He thinks he's a goodie now.
You're robbing a gangster from
Edinburgh. Darryl Christie.
There are no gangsters
in Edinburgh.
There is a link between
Cafferty and Christie.
Christie's dad used to
worked for Cafferty.
HE GRUNTS We're getting our money back.
What finger should he lose?
You ever heard of someone
called Darryl Christie?
Aye.
Truth be told
I'm not the man I once was
But I also know
I'm not the man that I once was
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 Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
I got your finger out the fridge.
They said they might
be able to reattach it.
So you going to tell me what happened?
Kai?
Did you try and steal some of the money?
Or some of the gear?
Were you robbed?
Cos, ken, it's usually the
peopleyou get the gear off of
that sendsomeone to rob you.
And you think they're
your friends.
You're not going
to help me either.
I've already fucking helped you, pal.
I brought you in here.
And that's the thing, people like me,
people like the staff in here,
we're the only ones that
are going to help you, Kai.
You think the state's your enemy, right?
Ooft.
I get it.
But it's no.
It's really your friend.
So who sent you over here?
Who are you dealing for?
Darryl Christie?
Shaun Strang?
I ken you and Shaun are
from the same scheme.
He thinks he's a gangster.
He's no.
"There's no gangsters
in Edinburgh."
That's right.
That's what the boy that robbed us said.
"There's no gangsters in Edinburgh,
only people who think they are."
What else did this robber say?
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Where's Michael?
Is he at his work?
I don't know. He left early.
Took that lad Andy with him.
The homeless boy.
The one that you phoned him about.
He went to Edinburgh to get him.
He's staying here with us for a wee bit.
He wants to help him,
get him back on his feet.
Shiv.
What?!
Aye, OK, I'll pick you up on the way in.
It's good Michael's doing this.
I know.
He's a good man.
Listen, I don't want you to do anything
that's going to put you
back in the jail, so
..I can do this myself.
I want to help.
You helped me.
That's Darryl there.
And that other lad,
that's who took the young boy from
the flat across the road from me.
They were barely
older than my boys.
Let's see where he's going.
I'm here for Shiv.
Oh.
Siobhan!
Yeah, I'm coming.
Is that your bike?
Um, it's the house's bike.
Why?
Nothing. It's a nice bike.
Oh, aye!
Good night, was it?
Awright, Darryl.
I'm the one who robbed the flat
and stole the money from
they two young boys.
You're going to have to pay
for what you did to them.
Turn around and walk over there.
Slowly.
That's it. Keep walking.
Now, get on your knees and
put your hands on your head.
Do you work for Ger Cafferty?
Dinnae look at me.
Face the front.
That attack on Jimmy McJagger,
that was nothing to do with me.
I had nothing to do with hurting
those two young lads, either.
If it's money you want,
I can give you money.
Nae funny business.
No, no, no, no, no! Wait,
wait, wait, wait!
Come on, come on! Look,
I I can help you.
I can help you.
I know where you can lay your
hands on a serious amount of gear.
I know it's not fashionable
any more, but
..I think drinking heavily is the
best way of dealing with life.
You look pretty fresh.
I didn't drink last night.
I have to be careful these days.
If I have more than a couple,
I end up spending a week in the dark.
Thanks for coming to get me.
Couldn't have driven.
You could've cycled in
..on your bike. Like they do in Denmark.
It's not just mine.
Yeah, you share it, don't you?
Well, sharing's the future.
What does Kirsten do?
She works in PR.
She She also writes plays.
Plays?
Yeah, plays. For the theatre?
She wants to be a writer.
Well, what's wrong with that?
What, do you not
like the theatre?
You must like music?
Of course I like music.
Everybody likes music.
I just mean I don't pay
any attention to it
or buy records or anything
like that. Not any more.
What about films, then?
What was the last film you went to see?
At the cinema?
Pfft, Christ
Television?
You must like the telly?
So you don't like anything?
You have no culture?
I have the culture of not liking things.
There you go. That's my culture.
I do like a cup of tea, though.
You go get me one and we'll
call it quits for the lift.
Gill, can I have a word?
Um, I was over in
Fife last night,
so I checked out that
address that Jack gave us.
The Fife officers were supposed
to be doing that, not you.
I was over at my brother's.
How convenient.
There was a kid there
and he was - pfft
..really distressed.
His finger was cut off.
I took him to the hospital.
Um, he told me that him and Jack
got robbed a couple of nights ago.
Robbed by whom?
Don't know. And they're not saying.
But they've obviously
been dealing.
The lad I found had his finger
cut off because they got robbed,
and Jack's been told,
"If you don't want some of the same,
"you have to kill
Jimmy McJagger."
Speaking of, I think Shaun
Strang's one of the people
who stabbed McJagger in the first place.
And did you question him?
I never got the chance,
but I'll follow it up now.
Make sure you do.
You found us all right, then? Aye.
It's a good spot, this.
Tucked away.
How you doing, pal?
I'm fine, mate.
This is Andy. You good?
Aye.
Cammy's from Canada,
but he was in 45 Commando.
Yeah, until I got smashed up in Afghan.
So what, this is
your place, Cammy?
Yeah.
What do you do now?
Oh, you know me, Mick - a bit
of buying, bit of selling,
a bit of this, a bit of that.
Keep myself busy.
Brought some stuff I
thought we might need.
Oh-ho-ho!
I worry about you.
Right! Let's get on with it.
Nice. Keep moving around.
Keep your hands up.
Keep your hands up.
What have I told you? Right, cross.
Cross. One, two.
Double kick.
One, two. Double kick.
Nice, keep moving around,
keep moving around.
Right, push, kick. One, two.
Again, cross.
Nice.
What do you want?
We need to have a word.
Nah, I've not got anything
to say to you. One, two.
One, two.
Nice. Kick.
I need to know where you
were on Sunday afternoon.
Right, just keep doing some
shadow boxing for me, all right?
Give me a sec.
I was here. All day.
What about yesterday?
I was here.
All day?
Aye. And there's plenty of people
here that'll tell you that.
Why don't you go ask somebody?
Aye, fuck, I'm sure there are, Shaun.
But, see, I have a witness
that says one of the men
who stabbed Jimmy
McJagger in Waterloo Place
had a tattoo on the side of his
neck just like that one there.
Been in Fife in the past couple of days?
Keir Hardie Gardens? Number 68?
Does that
Doesthat sound familiar?
Who did you send to rob
those two young lads
that were selling your gear?
Or did you do it yourself?
If some drug dealers
have been robbed in Fife,
surely you should be over
there looking for who did it.
Oh, and if you want to ask
me any more questions,
I'll come down to the station.
I'll bring my brief.
OK, then.
Well, let's do that the now,
then, shall we?Now?
Aye.Naw.
Naw, I cannae do now. Well, how no?
Well, I'm busy, am I not?
Well, what you doing, like?
You meeting Darryl?
No, I'm not. No?
No. No seen him the day?
I did, actually, this morning.
Came in for some training. Aye?
Aye. Just the two of you? In here?
Alone? Grappling?
Ooh, cosy. Aye.
Feel like you're
missing out, hmm?
Look, if you ever want to get
in the ring, just let me know.
I'd love it.
Fighting's a young man's game, Shaun.Mm.
Should keep that in mind.
How many fingers you got in there, hen?
Ten.All ten?
You hang on to them.
If your brief's no been in touch
to arrange an interview
by the end of the day,
I'm coming back to lift you.
Excellent form.
Hello, it's Michael.
Leave me a message.
Michael, it's me. Um
Listen, give me a phone,
eh? I need to speak
to you about something.
It's probably nothing
important, but, um
..justphone me. Cheers.
Oh, aye.
Right, Darryl, tell these
boys what you told me earlier.
I know where there's
a stash house.
A place which Ger Cafferty uses.
Gets a delivery there every week
from his partners in Northern Ireland.
Coke and heroin, kilos of each.
You can go there and rob it.
And what are we going to
do with a load of drugs?
Aye. What are we going to do
with a load of drugs, Darryl?
I'll buy them off you. How much for?
10% of the price.
Fuck off.
I have to punt them, bro.
That's what you do.
No, it isn't. I'm a
businessman. I'm legit.
20%?
Come on.
Cafferty's going to think I stole them.
All the risk's on me.
No-one knows who you boys are.
Who you looking for, Shaun?
Fuck's sake.
You looking for Darryl, eh?
Has he bugged out and
left you in the lurch?
Fuck off. I've nothing to say to you.
I'm no the press, Shaun.
Drive safe, eh?
Thank you.
Hi, Chrissie.
Rhona! Um
My goodness. Um
Do Do you want to come in?
I would love to.
Sammy told me what happened
with him and Michael.
I'm so sorry.
No.
You don't need to apologise
for him any more.
I know. But whatever
differences they've had,
I don't know why he would
do something like that.
Well, because he is an arsehole.
He didn't tell you about me?
No.
I'm pregnant.
With Lockie, obviously.Yeah.
Congratulations.
I was going to go back to work,
but I'm going to have
to put that on hold now.
There's no point in going back and
then going on maternity leave.
That would
Well, I didn't think you'd have
needed to go back to work now.
Well, no,
I don't need to, really.
I am lucky. Then don't.
I wouldn't.
How is your work?
Nah, you don't want to hear about that.
No, I do. I'm interested.
It's a nightmare.
It's just
..you know, we don't have enough
time with all the clients.
There's not enough staff. I'm
I'm covering twice the amount
of people that I should be.
There's no food in their houses,
you know? No electricity.
But, um
You know how things are the now.
The whole country's falling apart.
It's awful.
I hate what's happening now.
Things are tough for everyone.
Oh, God, Chrissie
You know
What is it?
I just wanted you to know
that if you ever needed
any help with anything
No, w-we don't need
anybody's help.
Not help, just
..if you were ever stuck
and needed a hand
Did John tell you to come here?
No, it has nothing
to do with John.
I just want to help.
You would do the same for me.
You have done the same
for me in the past.
And I don't want to lose touch.
We have known each other a long time.
Um
I think you should leave.
Chrissie, pleaseNo.
What about Sammy and the boys?
Oh, they've got
nothing in common.
Sammy is living in a mansion.
She's going to a private school.
It's different worlds, Rhona.
You know, you cannot come in
here and offer me charity.
Me and Michael
..hey, we can look
after ourselves.
He'd kneecap his
granny for two bob.
wandering around,
making a fortune -
they don't know one end
of a gun from the other.
Listen, I don't trust him either,
but if we do this, it's for us,
and we charge him what we want.
50%.
100%.
Fuck him.
Right, opsec starts here.
We'll leave our phones here.
Cammy, we'll use one of your cars.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, cupcake!
Back on your feet.
Come on, up we get.
There you go, there you go.
Lower.
There you go, beautiful.
I've fucking missed him.
Give me two minutes with him, please.
Come on, clear off.
I ken you were dealing.
I don't care about that.
I want to know about the
boy that robbed you.
What did he look like?
He had a scarf over his face.
How tall was he?
Average.
Average.
Was he nervous? Or angry?
Or scared?
No, man.
He was calm.
He knew exactly
what he was doing.
Your pal Kai says he says there's
nae gangsters in Edinburgh.
Grass. He's no a fucking grass.
And neither are you.
Just tell me what he said.
He said, "There's no gangsters,
only people who think they are."
Those were his exact words?
He said a polisman in Edinburgh told him.
He said something else.
About having a stag on.
Did you no have a stag on?
Don't know.
Don't know what it means.
Means someone who's a lookout,
who's on guard.
Why no just say that?
Who the fuck says, "Stag on"?
People in the army.
Thought it would be more secure.
They don't want to attract attention.
They've got alarms, but they're not
connected to the police, obviously.
And where are the drugs kept?
I told you about that.
That's why I have to come along.
I'm the only one who
knows how to find them.
We're not some young kids that
you get to bully to deal for you.
If you lead us into
anything surprising
..Cammy's going to kill you.
Slowly.
Gill, I didn't ask him
anything about the murder.
I only asked him about who
robbed him. That's all.
His brief should have been there,
and you know that.
You always have to push it, don't you?
Even with the people who
are trying to help you.
I'll write it up.
Oh, you better.
Did he tell you anything useful?
No, not really.
You spoke to Strang?
I did. It spooked him.
He went to a lock-up.
He was looking for Christie, I think.
Listen, Gill, I really need to
Get out of my sight.
Hello, it's Michael.
Leave me a message.
Michael, you really need to phone me.
I know what you did.
I fucking know.
You're here. What you doing here?
Just wanted to see if you're all right.
I'm fine.
I phoned you this morning.
You didn't call back.
I was late. I was
..hungover.
Hungover?
Yeah, I I ended up going
out with Kirsten last night.
Which I think was just what I needed.
Do you want to get
something to eat later?
Come on, my treat.
Wherever you want to go.
Sure. Yeah, fine.
Great.
Give me a shout when you're finished.
I'll come pick you up.
Oh, you can tell me about how
you saved Sergeant Rebus here
at the hospital yesterday.
I mean, it makes a change
from the rest of us trying
to save him from himself.
What did he want?
Um, just
Just
..asking if I wanted to
go for something to eat.
What?
What, do you ken him, like?
Is it a problem?
You should have said.
Just got the file on Darryl
Christie's dad, Derek Christie.
He did kill himself.
It was investigated as a suspicious
death by George Blantyre.
George investigated this?
Maybe you should go and ask him about it.
The file needs to stay here.
Oh, yeah.
Who is it, darling?
Hello, John.
Hello, Maggie.
Who is it?
It's me, Dod.
Come in, man.
We'll get the fucking
party started now, eh?
I'm no here for a drink, George.
Aye, you are! You're
having a fucking drink.
No, I'm no. Listen, I need to
speak to you about something.
Have you done what I asked?
Maggie. Have you found out?
There's nothing happening with Maggie.
How do you know?
I just know.
Oh, have you followed her?
No.Oh, man, you need to follow her.
I'm no following her, mate.
Man, you need to follow her,
find out where she goes.
I'm no doing it.
Anyway, listen, I need to
speak to you about a case.
Some fucking friend, you.
What you doing?!
Give me that fucking drink!
Look at the state of you, Dod.
Fuck you!
Look at the fucking state of you.
Are you worried about
him knowing about us?
I don't want him thinking
he knows what I am.
Judging me.
Assuming that everyone on the
accelerated leadership pathway's
only interested in clawing
their way to the top.
You know, Professional Standards
is a good career move.
It's a positive for advancement.
Oh, I don't know
if it'd be for me.
I got into this job because
I'm interested in people.
You know, putting the pieces
of the puzzle together and
..seeing how it all works,
what all the connections are.
Like that murder yesterday,
that young lad, he
He wasn't the one that
wanted McJagger dead.
What, do you have an
idea who it might be?
Might be connected to Darryl Christie.
You know, Rebus got his
name from Cafferty.
Rebus met Cafferty?
Nah, I-I don't know if he met him. He
He-He said he spoke to him.
In relation to this murder?
No, I Look
Look, Malcolm, just forget it.
Just focus on us, OK? Just
I shouldn't have told you that.
No, I'm glad you did.
Is he like this every night?
Yeah.
I can't even leave him now.
I can't run away.
Everyone'll just think I'm
abandoning him. And they'd be right.
Cafferty knows.
About what?
About us.
How can he know?
I don't know.
He must have people watching me.
Or you.
Have you noticed anything?
No.
Has he been in touch with George?
N-No, I I don't think so.
Listen
..I need you to be careful, OK?
Keep an eye out for any
cars following you,
people outside the house,
anything like that.
I'm going to take care of it.
Move!
Get in!
Get it open!
Get on the floor!
Stay down! Don't move!
This way, this way!
Eh? Eh? Come on, come on.
Up, up!
This way. Come on, up here. Up!
Eh, eh?
Good girl, good girl!
Good girl, Ellie. Good girl.
All right, down.
Who the fuck are yous?
Jesus Christ!
Move! Get this open!
Clear!
Dod?
Dod?
Aye. You awake?
Aye.
Here, come on. I need to ask
you something, Dod. Wake up.
What?
Do you remember
Derek Christie? Eh?
Darryl Christie's dad?
Do you remember him?
Aye.
Aye, I do.
Aye, it was a suicide, eh?
Aye, that's right.
Assisted suicide.
What do you mean?
Dod, what do you mean?
What are you talking about? Hmm?
You said "assisted suicide."
What do you mean?
He was an accountant.
He worked for Cafferty,
hiding his money.
I interviewed him a couple of times
when we were investigating Cafferty.
We got on all right.
He told me about a flat where
Cafferty was hiding money.
Cash.
You robbed it?
Helped myself.
Cafferty found out.
He found out that it was me and
that it was Christie that told me.
That's why Christie got
Ffft.
Or in this case
Hilarious.
George, who did it?
Eh? Who killed him? Was it Cafferty?
It was Jimmy McJagger.
Are you fucking serious, George?
Aye.
Didnae think to tell me that, no?
That's when I
fucked myself, John.
Cafferty had me after that.
He threatened Maggie.
I had to do what he wanted.
So you said Darryl Christie's
dad committed suicide.
I had to, man.
Who cares if some bent accountant
takes a flyer out a fucking window?
Darryl cares.
Oh, fuck Darryl!
Who the fuck is he?
Someone who bears a grudge.
And that's why Cafferty crashed
the motor into us, George.
He bears a grudge.
You fucking robbed him.
And he waited all those years,
all those years until
you were nearly retired,
until you were nae fucking use to him,
and he rammed us off the road
and put you in a wheelchair.
Right.
Lose the suits, hats, gloves.
Everything's getting burnt.
And leave your phones
off till you get home.
Here, get rid of this and the shotgun.
Hey, you sure you don't
want to hold on to this,
just in case there's
some comeback?
Aye, I'm sure.
Thanks, Mick. Hey,
no problem, pal. Any time.
It was you or him. No choice.
He was P4.
I'm a good shot.
Told you.
Now you need to go and get us our money.
You know that boy you shot,
if he's from Belfast,
that could be a problem.
I don't care where he's from.
You point a gun at me and my mates,
you're getting fucking shot.
We're talking about the UDA here.
That's who Cafferty gets his gear from.
Fuck the UDA.
Scram.
Welcome to voicemail.
You have one new message.
Michael, you really need to phone me.
I know what you did.
I fucking know.
Everything OK?
Aye.
Fine.
Get a doss. It's been a long day.
Aye.
Whatever it is that
you're doing
..I'll help you.
But you have to
be honest with me.
Tell me everything
that's going on.
OK.
I will.
In the morning.
Cafferty. What do you want?
I want to talk.
I ken about Derek Christie.
You had him murdered because he told
George about the money he stole.
That's why McJagger got killed.
Darryl's taking revenge.
I'll take care of Darryl and his mob.
But, remember, I don't owe you anything.
And fucking leave
Maggie and George alone.
You're too late, Rebus.
You had your chance.
Cafferty.
Cafferty.
