Six Four (2023) s01e03 Episode Script

1
I wanna know the truth, Michelle.
'What are you doing in London?'
Remember, no-one's coming
to help you if it goes wrong.
Piers?
You're on your own.
She's our daughter.
Help! Please!
Robert Wallace's wife
is the Justice Minister.
She wants
to report her daughter missing.
Hello?
Please, can you let me out?
I have your daughter.
What are you talking about?
Who is this?
'You'll get another call
with my demands.'
Jim told me that he had a recording
of the phone call
the police covered up.
It was Gary McLean.
He looked after
all the recording stuff.
But you can't talk to Gary now,
cos he's dead.
Oh, hello, Mrs McLean.
Do you have
any of his actual recordings?
No. They were taken away
when the police searched here.
Do you remember any of the officers
that came here?
Bill.
Bill Martin. Lovely guy.
Our daughter?
I just need to know
if she's been here.
She's found out.
You told her the truth
after lying to her all her life.
Piers, please.
Please, just tell me
if you've seen her.
Please.
No.
No, I haven't seen her.
But I'll certainly
get in touch with her now.
Best before August 2012.
Just like us.
It is sad,
seeing someone stuck in the past
like this.
What are you doing here, Bill?
Do you know where Jim Mackie is?
Are you looking for him?
Do you know where he is?
You don't get to ask me questions.
You're not a polisman any more.
Which one of youse
was it hit me, eh?
It wasn't them, Chris.
It was me.
Don't
do anything stupid.
You're outnumbered here.
That's never bothered me, Bill.
Oh, aye. You.
You were always pretty game.
You worked on Julie Mackie's case,
didn't you?
I did, aye.
So you've been in this house before.
Must be weird
after all this time, eh?
Not really.
No?
Well, you never worked out
who did it.
You never got anyone.
You all just stopped looking
and blamed Jim Mackie for it.
Didn't you? 'Ey?
Chris.
Mackie was always
the obvious suspect.
He knew he was the obvious suspect,
so he pointed the finger at us.
The very people helping the man
look for his missing daughter.
Aye.
But you never found anyone, did you?
Maybe someone should, Bill. Hm?
Maybe I will.
So, let's start with you.
Why are you looking for Jim Mackie?
Aye.
Whatever it is
that you think you're doing
..you should stop,
for your own good.
And for Philip's.
Move.
Philip, where are you?
I need to talk to you.
There's something weird going on.
Look, just call me.
I don't mind
You laughing in my face
I don't mind
The way you take me down
Where in the world would you run
Raised by the seven daughter
Born of the devil gun. ♪
Mr Wallace. Where should we set up?
Sorry about all this.
It's just in case
anyone's watching the house.
Erm
You can set up in there, please.
I'm Riyaz Mansoor.
I'll be leading the investigation
here at the house.
That's the Crime Agency arrived
at the Wallace house.
Very good. Anything else?
Annabel Wallace's phone
is being examined at the moment,
and the team up at the school
are heading out
with a local officer.
This is where you get
a lot of the kids going.
Drinking.
Lighting fires.
I thought it'd be
all midnight feasts
and Matron kissing it better.
That's where I found the phone.
Over there.
Then there's the tyre tracks.
There's a main road down that way.
Didn't see that.
You mean we could have driven?
Well, it's got to be somebody local
who knows about this road
being here.
Not unless he's been up here before.
I take it there's no CCTV anywhere.
Down at the school.
But apart from that, on this road
There's a yard
with a security camera
a few miles down that way.
It's worth a shot.
Can you get that for us?
Course.
Not a problem.
Come on.
Let's head back to the school.
Are you there?
I know you're there.
Did you wanna talk to me?
Open the door.
I won't do anything.
We'll talk.
That's all.
Just unlock the door.
Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
What are we gonna do with you?
Sarah Jones.
You need to think about
what you're doing here, Piers.
You harm a police officer,
and it's all over for you.
But you're not a police officer
any more, are you?
You haven't been for a long time.
You don't know that.
You never did know
anything about me.
What's wrong with you?
It's terminal.
So, you see
I haven't got anything to lose.
So, er
Who does our daughter think
is her real father?
A good man.
Yeah? Why isn't he here?
Why isn't he helping you?
Oh.
He found out.
He found out
..and left you all alone.
He found out.
And now he hates you, too.
I can't wait to meet
my new daughter.
Argh!
Ugh!
'What's going on?'
'Piers, are you OK?'
Uh!
Olivia. Olivia.
Olivia.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
MAN: 'Come in.'
It's the footage from
the builders' yard security cameras.
Brilliant. Thanks for that.
So, the ransom call could've
come from Northern Ireland.
Aye. Apparently, it's quite common
for signals around here
to be picked up by phone towers
over there.
That's handy
What about Simpson?
He won't say anything
till he has a brief.
And he's erased everything
from his devices.
Well, her phone's
got messages from him on it.
Sorry, but is there anything else
you need from me?
No, I think we're fine, thanks.
Thanks for your help.
Hamilton.
Right, load it up.
Let's see what we can see.
I would've thought
they were confident
Suspicious vehicles,
whatever we can find.
Where did you go, Olivia?
Eh?
Were you with somebody?
We spoke to all your friends.
Nobody knew anything.
You always said the first step
to not getting caught
is to not tell anyone
what you're doing.
I didn't tell anyone.
Who are you in trouble with?
It's nothing like that.
Then why did you leave?
Are you kidding?
My parents have been lying to me
my whole life. Is that not enough?
I've come back for my stuff,
and then I'm gone.
Who told you?
Who do you think? She did.
We were having an argument
about your stupid affair.
That's why you left.
Olivia, I swear
..I've never lied to you.
I have never lied to you.
You didn't know? You really
didn't know you're not my dad?
I found out today.
Do you know who he is?
All I know is, he's somebody
that your mum knew
when she was in the police.
What?
A police officer? A criminal?
I don't know.
Is he dangerous?
Sweetheart, I don't know.
I don't know.
Oh, I can't believe you.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
All that matters
is that you're home.
What do you mean,
"It doesn't matter"?
I am not who I thought I was.
I'm not
I'm not who you thought I was.
Listen, none of this matters to me.
I love you.
I love you, Olivia,
and I always will.
And I love your mum, OK?
Oh, my God, how can you say that?
She has lied to you
since she first met you.
How could you forgive that?
Cos we solve our problems,
the three of us.
No.
This is not for me to solve.
This is for you two to sort out.
And if you do, maybe I'll come back.
Move.
No. Hey, no.
No.
You're not going anywhere.
Not again.
Yes, I am. You can't stop me.
I can!
You can't.
Do you really want me to say why?
Dad.
Don't follow me.
Don't make a scene.
Otherwise, I'll actually disappear.
OK.
Hey, hey,
just do one thing for me, OK?
Just take your phone.
Take your phone.
We need to have a way
to contact you.
What if something happens
to me and your mum?
Please.
Hey, please, erm
..promise me that, erm
Promise me you'll be careful.
Promise me you'll stay safe.
Hello.
'Chris, Chris.'
She's not here!
She's not She's not here.
'She was never here, Chris.'
Why did you tell Olivia
before you told me?
What?
Sorry, what? Tell Olivia what?
Why did you tell her
that I'm not her dad?
Why would you tell her that?!
How do?
How do you know
that I told her that, Chris?
She told me. She was here.
'What do you mean, she was there?'
She was here, she was home.
She's home?
She's
Oh she's home.
Chris, can you put her?
Chris, put her on.
Please, please, put her on.
I need to talk to her.
'Please, Chris.'
Can you put her on, please?
She's gone again.
What do you mean, she's gone again?
'Chris?'
I mean she was here
and then she left.
You let her go, Chris?
I couldn't stop her.
'How could you not stop her, Chris?
She's a child.'
She's not a child,
and I couldn't stop her
because she doesn't wanna be here.
And she doesn't wanna be here
because of you!
You need to come home, Michelle.
..a referendum.
Think they'll agree to that?
Well,
the last two leadership contests
have been coronations
Uh, Mr Wallace isn't taking
any visitors at the moment.
Can I ask you to?
Yes, they're for me. Come in.
So sorry, Justice Minister. I know
this is a difficult time for you.
Mackie's not at home.
I'm leaving Mohamed here with you.
If you hear anything,
if you need to let me know anything,
he'll keep us in touch, OK?
What about Philip
and this journalist he heard about?
I'm in touch with him, too,
and the journalist's
out the picture.
Don't panic. That's the main thing.
It'll be OK.
We'll find her.
Stick to your brief.
This is the only car on the CCTV
from the night
that Annabel disappeared.
That vehicle was tagged by ANPR
on a police car 50 miles away
a couple of days ago.
Prior to that, it's never been
seen in this region before.
It was sold at auction
a few weeks back,
but there's no new keeper
registered.
Annabel?
I've made you some tea.
I'm gonna unlock the door.
You stay on the bed.
OK?
OK.
Thank you.
But I don't take milk.
What's your name?
Jim.
Why won't you talk to me?
What are you afraid of?
Are you scared you won't be able
to hurt me if you talk to me?
That I'll be a human being then?
No.
I shouldn't worry about that,
anyway.
Pretty unlikeable.
Everybody thinks so.
I'm sure that's not true.
It is true.
People at school.
Teachers.
My parents don't care about me
either.
My dad's rich. If you ask him
for money, he'll pay it.
It's not about the money!
It's about truth.
It's about justice.
He knows what happened
to my daughter,
and he lied and lied about it
all these years.
Julie.
Julie Mackie. You're her father.
Yes.
But that's got nothing
to do with me.
I've not done anything to her.
I know.
I'm sorry.
But you're his daughter.
This is the way it has to be.
What does that mean?
Jim?
OK, I'll start the tape
and we can get going with interview.
Interview under caution
with Stuart Simpson.
Present, Alison Hamilton
and Dave Barr
from the Scottish Crime Agency.
Stuart, are you
one of Annabel Wallace's teachers?
No comment.
A few people have told us
that you had
quite a close relationship
with Annabel.
A friendship. Is that true?
No comment.
You owe quite a lot of money.
And that's not the only bank
you owe to, either, is it?
No comment.
Well, you can see why it would be
a motivation to kidnap Annabel.
She's got a well-off father,
you could take care of your debts.
She could even be helping you.
Should I
tell them everything?
Stuart.
What do you want to tell us?
Right.
OK.
Annabel did tell me something,
and
..I tried to sell it
to a journalist.
But that was before
she went missing,
and I don't know where she is now,
I swear.
She said she heard her mother
and father talking one night, and
..her mum said
..to the father, Robert, that
..he needed to tell Jim Mackie
..that his daughter,
Julie Mackie, was dead
..and there was no point
searching for her any more.
Ah.
The area of investigation
is much wider than we first thought.
Car was clocked on CCTV here,
number plate recognition
picked up here.
And the phone signals were picked up
by towers in this area.
So the ransom call could've
come from Northern Ireland?
You don't think there might be
any involvement by a loyalist group?
I don't Geographically,
it would make sense.
Yeah. The SNP leadership have been
cosying up to Sinn Fein recently.
Ah, well, we can't rule
anything out at this stage.
Sir. Your brother's in the building.
We'll have to make this quick.
Did you speak to her?
The journalist?
Aye.
I did. Someone scared her
off the story.
And now Jim Mackie's missing.
I went to his house yesterday.
What were you doing there?
I was trying to find out
what was going on,
like you asked me to.
I didn't ask you
to go to Jim Mackie's house.
I asked you to speak
to that reporter.
Bill Martin was also there
looking for Jim Mackie.
So, why is he running about
acting like he's the polis?
Who's he working for, really?
Just leave it, Chris.
I spoke to Gary McLean's mother.
I never told you to speak to her!
Well, I did.
Philip, there was a call
to Mackie's house
from Julie's kidnapper.
The police that were there
covered that up.
You were with those police.
You're accusing me
of covering up a crime?
Gary MacLean made a recording
of that phone call.
That recording went missing
and Gary was murdered.
Just remember who I am.
Who you are talking to.
Just tell me the truth.
Enough!
What?!
Get off!
Nah.
Fuck off!
You still punch like a lassie.
Fuck you.
Sir?
They need you upstairs.
Could you just give us a moment?
Please.
Sure.
Thank you.
You need to get a grip of yourself,
Chris.
Julie Mackie,
while Olivia's still missing?
You've had a difficult time,
but don't push it.
Are we OK?
Was there a call?
Chris!
Don't lie to me, Phil.
Don't you dare lie to me here.
I need to know.
OK? I'm your brother.
I can help you, you know,
no matter what.
I just need to know the truth.
Was there a call?
Was it covered up?
Is that why Gary McLean
was murdered?
There was no calls.
Go home, Chris.
Whoa!
Polis bastard!
'What?'
Delivery for Bryce.
'Delivery?'
Aye, delivery.
Don't even think about it, Steven.
I'm not in the fucking mood.
I knew it was the fucking polis.
All right, Steven.
I want to know why
you killed Gary McLean.
You're not a polisman.
I am.
No, you're not.
If you were a polisman,
you'd know I didn't do it.
Detective Constable at your age?
And you don't know it wasn't me?
No.
Well, I'm not telling you anything.
Your boys'll kill me if I do.
You're religious, are you? Eh?
I've accepted Jesus Christ
as my Lord and Saviour. Have you?
Eh?!
Religious? No, no.
I'm a Catholic, mate.
We don't believe in God.
We believe in sentimentality
and organised crime.
Oh, look at that! Ha!
Eh? Look!
That's seven years in jail,
right there.
Opium of the masses. OK.
If you didn't murder Gary McLean,
then who did?
One of you lot.
A policeman murdered him?
But you went to jail for it?
Eight years.
That's what you lot do.
You fit people up
and you look after your own.
'You find people like me
and you blackmail them.'
'You lie
and you put pressure on 'em.'
'Use your power to make other people
suffer for your mistakes.'
If you're so innocent, Steven,
why didn't you say any of this
at the trial?
Are you kidding me?!
I had to put my hand up for it.
If I didn't, they were gonna kill me
for something that I did do.
And what was that?
You better tell me, Steven.
Or something can happen to you,
or this,
or a combination of the two, eh?
Eh?
I'll take you in myself, right now.
It was a girl.
A teenager.
It was an accident.
I'm just a burglar.
They sent me to steal
some documents from a safe,
belonged to a lawyer, or something.
The lassie wasn't
supposed to be there.
I tried to stop her,
but she fell and hit her head.
Julie. Julie Mackie.
'Some guys came
and took her body away
'before her mum and dad came back.'
It was the guy who hired me
to do the robbery
who told me to make it
look like a kidnap.
That's why I phoned the house
the first time.
I was just doing what I was told.
Then, when I called again
..the person answered the phone,
I knew it was the polis.
Who were you working for?!
I was just trying to get some money
out of it!
Who hired them
to get rid of the body?
Tell me!
I don't know!
Aye, you fucking do!
Who hired him? Who hired him?
Who hired him!?
Robert Wallace.
I don't want to split the party.
It's your delaying tactics
that will split the party,
First Minister.
You have to understand,
the party cannot
avoid this vote forever.
So, did this teacher
say this on tape?
Yes. They got all of it.
Right.
And did he have any evidence
for any of this?
The girl, Annabel.
OK
Says he got it all from her.
Well, let's sit tight on this
for now, OK?
OK.
Come on, people. Let's focus.
We need to find this girl.
Jim!
Jim!
Jim?!
Jim?!
Annabel, what are you
shouting about?
What do you want?
I'm sorry for what my dad
did to you, Jim.
But maybe I can help you?
I hate my dad, too.
I know things about him.
I heard him talking to my mum
about Julie.
What do you know?
I know he's not who he says he is.
I know that.
Yes.
Everyone likes him.
He's not nice.
He doesn't care about people.
You were his friend, weren't you?
Do you know who he's working for?
Eh?
And do you know about Six Four?
Your father knew my daughter
was dead and never told me.
That's the reason
I am bringing him here.
To force him to tell the truth
about what they did with Julie.
Huh.
No! No!
Please! Help! Please!
Stop! Please!
Please! Stop!
I was down there
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's OK. It's OK. Annabel, is it?
We've been looking for you.
There was a man there.
His name is Jim Mackie and I was
OK, all right. All right.
All right. You're safe now.
I think he followed me.
That's him,
that's the man that took me.
What are you doing? Don't stop!
Don't stop! Turn the car around.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?!
Please, stop! Get him out!
Let me out! Let me out! Let me out!
What are you doing?!
Let me out! Let me out!
What are you doing?
You're a policeman, let me go!
Come on, lass. No, no, come on.
Don't struggle.
Get off me!
Come on now.
What are you doing?!
I said come on now.
No! Help!
Stop!
Let me go! Help!
Hey! HEY!
