This programme contains some strong language
How's Cassie?
She said in the last call we had
that she was moving in with Alex?
Yeah, seems to be going OK.
Ah, good.
He's a nice bloke, eh? Yeah.
I've been thinking, when I get erm...
..released, from here...
..I'm not going to come back to Shetland.
Why's that?
Oh, come on, Jimmy, there's plenty
who think I let Donna Killick off the hook.
Are you going to eat that Toffee Crisp?
Cos if you're not, I'm going to have it.
These are like gold bullion in here.
What time's the tribunal?
Two.
Don't feel bad about the suspension,
I've been fine.
And if nothing else, it gave me time
to spend with my dad, before he died.
I wish I could've made the funeral.
Couldn't be helped.
What are you going to do, if you cannae be a cop?
I havenae really thought about it.
That's a big lie.
You've thought about nothing but that.
This committee has been instructed
to review the findings of the police investigation
and Reviews Commissioner
into the death of Donna Killick.
We must decide whether a charge of misconduct holds.
Is there anything you would like
to add in your defence before we reach our decision?
I'm a police officer.
It's the only thing I've ever done,
it's the only thing I've ever wanted to do.
And I really don't want to jeopardise my chances
of being cleared here today...
..but I have to say this.
Donna killick was dying...
..and she wanted to punish people,
in particular, Duncan Hunter and me.
Now, she manipulated Duncan Hunter
into committing a crime.
And then she tried to ruin my career
through false accusations.
And with all due respect,
that was self-evident to anyone
who actually knew her.
The fact I'm sitting here today is a,
is a victory for her...
..and no-one else.
We had no choice but to ask why
Donna Killick made these accusations
and you know that very well.
We will now retire, weigh up the evidence
and reach our findings.
We'll let you know our decision, shortly.
Come on, Connor, hurry up, we're going to miss the ferry.
All right, Sis. Get on, then.
Oh, oh.
Right, come on.
ENGINE STARTS
I'll see you later, at your "book launch!".
Enjoy your swim.
CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
Connor not coming?
He said he was.
Oh, I'll have to start without him.
OK, everyone, welcome to the Kelpie Swim Club.
For those of you who haven't been before, like Alison here,
the first rule of wild swim club is. ..
Never talk about wild swim club?
ALL LAUGH
Very funny, Ally.
But seriously, nobody swims alone.
So, grab yourselves a partner if you haven't already, OK?
Leave a message and I'll get back to you.
Hi, Connor, it's me, I'm at the swim. Are you coming?
OK. Bye.
Hi. Hi.
Will you partner with me?
Yeah.
I'm a bit nervous, first time and all that.
Of course, of course, no worries.
OK.
Don't worry about keeping up with them, they're hardcore.
You doing all right?
I'm good.
Bloody cold, though, eh?
Shit.
Shit. Bryd, my leg. Alison?
I cannot feel my leg.
I can't... It's OK, it's OK.
Just stop, just grab my arm.
I can't. Oh. Help. We need help over here!
Alison!
Are you OK?
I've got you. Alison, are you OK?
Thank God, Connor.
REMEMBERING: DI Perez,
we have reached the conclusion that there is no evidence
of misconduct against you.
you are free to return to
operational duties with immediate effect.
Congratulations, DI Perez.
The right decision.
I look forward to working with you till the Fiscal returns.
God...
..I feel like such a fool.
Don't be daft, Alison, it could happen to any of us.
Don't let it put you off.
Cold water exposure is actually really good for you.
It's made a big difference to me.
Certainly got the endorphins going, that's for sure.
You'd better get ready for your book launch, Connor.
Aw, thanks, Connor, it looks amazing.
Thank you.
My pleasure, thanks.
There you go, thanks.
Folks!
Ladies and gentlemen, if I could
have your attention, please.
Thank you all for coming along to
the launch of The Wulver,
a new graphic novel by Connor Cairns.
It's a story steeped in Shetland
myths and legends, with a fair bit
of gore thrown in for good measure.
But erm, Connor is...
..a great talent, a boy from Glasgow
whose love for Shetland comes across
in every page of this novel.
I expect great things from Connor.
I know he won't let me down.
Congratulations, Connor.
Aw, congratulations, my wonderful boy.
Thank you, Jamie. Aye.
Well done, bro. Cheers.
Connor's dad not coming?
No, he's working. He was desperate to come.
Well, enjoy your drinks and when you're drunk enough,
come and buy a signed copy of the book.
Thanks, guys.
DOORBELL RINGS
I'm coming.
Jimmy?
Erm, I just thought I'd drop round a wee gift.
It's just to say thanks for all the...
..all the help you gave when my dad was ill.
You didn't need to do that, it was my job.
Yeah, I know that but you didn't
need to spend as much time with him as you did.
And anyway, it's nothing,
it's just a candle, and a gift token.
I love a candle.
So how did the tribunal go?
It was today, yeah?
Yeah, I'm, I'm back to work tomorrow.
That's great news.
You know, I know how stressed you've been and...
Listen, shall we go for that drink?
Erm...
..I mean, I've, I've been meaning to ask you for ages.
It's, it's just that, you know, with everything that was going on.
No, I know you've had a lot on your plate.
We could give that fancy wine bar a go.
OK.
I'm proud of you, you know that.
It's not going to top the New York Times bestseller list, though, is it?
That's not the point.
You did this, it's good.
OK, it's really good.
Will you sign my...? Oh.
Er, no, er...
..later, no problem.
What's up with him?
Has he never seen anyone kissing before?
Look, I'm going to sneak out.
Cos I want to do a bit of drawing before the sun goes down, so...
Well, I thought we could talk.
We need to talk.
Right, later.
At your place.
OK.
The land is beginning to die,
and the soil grows cold.
So the Earth continues its descent into night
and we mourn the days drawing shorter.
Six months of light, and six months of dark.
The Earth goes to sleep, and later wakes again.
Oh, dark mother...
..we honour you this night...
..and dance in your shadows.
We embrace that which is the darkness.
Without the night, there is no day.
Without death, there is no life.
Great goddesses of the night...
..I thank you.
I am actually still out of breath. Really?
I am so glad it's not uphill any more.
Are you OK?
It's fine, it's fine. You are so slow.
Shut up. Ooh.
Watch out, there's something coming up behind us.
HORN HONKS
Get off the road! What?
Quick, Abbie!
Ah!
Abbie!
Ah!
HORN BLARES
So...
..what were you doing on the hills so late?
A ritual.
Lighting a candle, that type of thing.
For the equinox.
OK.
And on the way back, this vehicle
forced you off the road?
Yeah, no doubt about it, it drove right at us.
You think it was deliberate? Is that what you're saying?
Couldn't have been anything else?
Come on, I'll take you home.
It's fine.
I'm good at the halls.
Dad, what are you doing?
I should've stopped.
I just hope those girls are all right.
We never touched them.
I think we should go home.
You go if you want.
I'm staying.
How do you manage to look sexy frying sausages, eh?
Years of practice!
Now, leave me alone, will you?
One of the guests might think there's more on
the menu than just black pudding.
Sorry I missed the book launch.
Oh, can't be helped.
Go and see if the genius is up, will you?
He's supposed to be giving me a hand this morning. Aye.
And you will give Abbie a call, won't you?
She got a real fright last night. Aye.
Two secs. Sorry, everyone.
Uh...
He's not there.
He probably stayed with Bryd.
Will you call her?
Tell you what, I'll change my shift,
give you a hand, instead. How's that, huh?
I'll do it, then.
Here we go, folks, sorry about the delay.
Hello?
Hi, Bryd, it's Rachel.
Hi. Is Connor with you?
No, no, he was supposed to come over
to my place last night, but he never showed.
I tried calling him, but he hasn't got back to...
He's not with her.
He'll pitch up, hungover, no doubt.
It was his book launch, after all.
You want to take that chance, after what happened?
Rach, seriously, just wait a wee bit.
Hey, Billy, what's up? I'm just on my way in.
I've got a concern call from a Rachel Cairns.
They're the folk that took over the Noss View B&B on Bressay.
The son, Connor, he hasn't returned home.
How old is he? He's 22.
Two sugar.
When was he last seen? Yesterday evening.
A book launch at the Harbour Bar.
Oh, there must be a reason she's this worried?
If there is, she didn't say.
Although, I did notice their daughter was involved in
an accident last night. But nothing serious.
OK.
We need to swap. It's OK. Don't worry.
All right, little girl, you going to be good for Daddy?
Ohh. All right, there you are.
OK.
Hello. Good morning.
I thought you might need this on your first day back.
Thank you very much.
So, do you fancy a wee trip to Bressay?
I'll fill you in on the way.
Sure.
So, how was the tribunal?
HE SIGHS
Shite.
Just glad it's over.
I was worried you weren't coming back.
Yep. Me, too.
How about you? You getting ANY sleep these days?
Oh, couple of hours a night.
Why? Do I look knackered?
Considering you've being acting DI
and you've got a newborn baby at home, you look as fresh as daisy.
Oh, thanks!
I can tell when you're lying, by the way.
I should probably work on that.
Last year, Connor tried to take his own life.
It was an overdose.
Some girl he was keen on at uni was messing him about.
But he's a different person now.
He's got a new girlfriend, Bryd. She's been really good for him.
She's got him into wild swimming.
Personally, I think we're panicking over nothing.
So, where is he, Danny?
Erm, Bryd...?
She's a house parent at the Moray Bridge Halls.
Your daughter was involved in an accident last night,
is that right?
It was nothing, just a reckless driver.
It wasn't nothing, Danny, she could've been seriously hurt.
I meant it's nothing to do with Connor.
OK. So, when was the last time you actually spoke to him?
Last night. At the book launch for his graphic novel.
Jamie is publishing it for him.
Jamie Narey? Yeah.
Yeah. And before that, what was he doing?
In the morning, he took his sister, Abbie,
to Lerwick on his scooter.
She stays at the halls during the week, when she's at school.
And then, he went to the wild swim,
and then, to the book launch.
So, he keeps busy, then. Yeah.
Is he on the Vulnerable Persons Register?
No, we...we didn't do that
because he wasn't keen on people knowing.
What about his is laptop? Have you checked that?
For what? If you're looking for a suicide note, there won't be one.
Oh, my God!
There might be an email explaining where he's gone, that's all.
I don't have his password. Sorry.
Could we have a look around his room?
Yeah...yeah, this way.
The drawings are for his graphic novel.
Is it a story about a Wulver? Yeah, that's right.
Half-man, half-wolf.
You know the legends?
Yeah, well, my dad used to tell them to me.
SHE CHUCKLES
Look, we know he's vulnerable,
so if you give us his mobile phone number,
and his social media accounts, and a recent photograph,
then we can try and track him down.
Thank you.
Erm, sorry, but I have to ask,
if we have to identify him, in case of an accident,
does he have any piercings, tattoos?
No, no.
But he does always wear a gold signet ring
with the letter "C" on it, that we gave him for his 18th.
OK.
What happened to your window?
Er, not sure. The wind, maybe.
It's brutal on this coast.
If you were going somewhere,
you'd take your laptop, wouldn't you? You would.
His sister being run off the road is a bit of a weird coincidence.
Did you notice the dad seems to know a lot about police procedure?
I got the feeling that he didn't want us involved.
Yeah.
Let's run a background check on him.
Morning.
Who's that? PC Lorna Burns.
She's been here a couple of months.
About bloody time. Where've you been?
God, are you still here?
Good to have you back, sir. Thanks, Sandy.
Passenger manifests.
No-one by the name of Connor Cairns on any of them.
Foot passenger? I'll check.
But there's no sign of the scooter at either the port or the airport.
Or of him from the CCTV in the town centre last night.
Oh, Sandy, can I see the report from the accident that the sister
was involved in last night?
Yes, of course.
I was thinking, maybe I should speak to Jamie Narey?
He was supposed to meet Connor this morning.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Look, let me sort this out and I'll meet you at the Moray Halls,
and then we can talk to the girlfriend.
Jamie? Hiya.
Can I have a quick word about Connor Cairns?
Sure. I was just emailing him.
Well, as you know, his family are concerned.
Erm, when was the last time you heard from him?
I saw him at the launch last night.
It's not great timing, with his book coming out.
Hmm. Did he mention any plans?
No, but he mentioned an ex on the mainland, recently.
Lynn, I think her name was.
Do you think he could've gone to see her?
Possibly.
I'm lucky to work with him.
He's such a talent.
So, were you surprised when Connor didn't show up last night?
Of course. It's not like him.
Did anything happen last night that might've made him disappear?
Not really.
He said he wanted to go and draw.
Sometimes he likes to sleep out under the stars,
if he's had a fight with his dad, or he wants to commune with nature.
Does he not get on with his dad?
Well, they argue a bit, but nothing major.
Although, there was one thing that happened last night.
Murry, from the library - he was acting a little odd,
at the book launch.
That's all I can think of.
Is that Connor's wee sister over there?
Yes. Do you mind if we have a word with her?
No, of course. Thanks.
We just wanted to ask you a few questions about your big brother.
Is that OK? Sure.
So, how's he been lately? Is there anything worrying him?
No.
Bryd was just saying that Connor likes to sleep out sometimes.
Do you know where that is?
No, I don't. Sorry.
But he's got a place that he likes.
His safe place, he calls it.
I don't think he likes being in the B&B much.
Sometimes he says he'd rather stay in the halls, with me.
Is that because of trouble at home?
No. It's just a joke.
How's your wrist?
Hear you were involved in an accident?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You know, if there was anything that you wanted to tell us,
you can phone DS McIntosh or me any time you like.
Nobody has to know.
All right, then.
You know he's dead, don't you?
Why would you say a thing like that?
I feel it.
I don't know why, but I just do.
Right, and who might you be?
Just a friend.
Thanks for your help.
There's definitely something not right about this.
You're not kidding. It's like Salem in there.
We should head to the library.
No, I...no.
Er, I've got to go, I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Sure. Absolutely.
Hi, Murry. I'm DS McIntosh, this is DI Perez.
We're checking on the whereabouts of Connor Cairns?
I've just heard. Has nobody heard from him?
Er, not yet, no.
Are you OK?
Yeah, I-I'm just really worried that something awful's happened to him.
I catastrophise about everything.
How did the book launch go, everything OK?
Oh, really well, I think.
Nothing odd happen?
No tension between you and Connor?
Er, no.
Oh, that's his book there.
Oh, have it, please.
OK, well, thanks for your time.
If you do think of anything, give us a call.
All right, it is possible that Connor Cairns has left Shetland
of his own volition, but we can't be sure of that yet.
There could be more at play here, so...
This is a vulnerable young man.
For the family's sake, let's find him.
Do we have any more on the ex-girlfriend?
Erm, Lynn Henderson.
They were on the same course at Glasgow University.
Chemical Engineering.
OK. Let's track her down and talk to her.
Find out if Connor's been in contact.
Erm, Tosh, it would be good to see
the background check on Danny Cairns.
And locate the scooter, because we can't rule out an accident yet.
And finally, erm...
..I don't want any of you to think for a moment that I missed you,
but...it is nice to be back.
Oh - didn't take you for a comics guy.
Ah. It's just work.
Erm, hello. Hi.
You look great. Thank you.
Er, what can I get you? Red wine, please.
Excuse me. Could I have another glass?
Here you go. Thanks very much.
So, what's the comic got to do with work?
Erm, we've got a missing person.
And...he wrote it.
It's a story about a man who conceals his identity,
and it turns out that he's a wulver,
which is, he's half-man, half-wolf.
Yeah, I've met a few of them in my time.
I'm sure. Me, too. THEY CHUCKLE
Slainte. Here's to you. Cheers.
DOOR CLOSES
OBJECTS RUSTLING
Connor?
SHE GASPS
THEY GIGGLE I can't believe you just said that.
It was nice to finally get that drink.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Well, I'm this way.
Yeah, I-I'm up there. OK.
See you around?
OK.
OK. Goodnight. Goodnight.
So fucking stupid.
Where have you been? Just getting some air.
Look, are you going to call the police about last night?
Listen we should talk to the guests first.
Maybe it's some kind of joke.
SHE SCOFFS
Or maybe not, Danny.
DOOR SHUTS
Morning.
Oh, shit!
You need to see this.
Danny Cairns is an ex-cop.
Convicted on corruption charges.
Served two years.
We need to know exactly what you're involved in,
and I need to know now.
I was based in Ayr.
And I stole drugs from a young drug dealer called Pepper Waldron.
I was trying to put pressure on him to become an informant.
It backfired.
He was killed.
Hit-and-run.
A hit-and-run?
That almost happened to your daughter.
What's going on? Is it Connor?
They know. About me.
I'm sorry, we should've said something. You think?
Do you realise how much time you've wasted?
Is there anyone involved in what you've told us that has
a grudge against you?
Pepper's family blamed me for his death.
It was three years ago. They don't even know where we live.
They could have found you, easily!
Is there anything else that we need to know?
Last night, somebody broke in...
..and they stabbed all my kitchen knives into the counter,
and then, they left.
OK.
Let's have a look at the knives.
Sandy, can you get me any members of Danny Cairns' old team in Ayr?
And get me the details of the death of a dealer called Pepper Waldron,
and any family members of interest.
Yes, of course.
Look, I've just spoked to Lynn Henderson, Connor's ex.
But she says they only dated a few times.
She says there was other stuff going on with him,
and the family just wanted someone to blame.
OK, then.
I can't wait any longer!
Rachel, don't.
Leave the searching to the police. Please!
Oh, God.
TEARFULLY: No...
ON PHONE: Lerwick Police.
Rachel, what made you come up here looking for him?
Well, I've been thinking about his safe place.
So, I've been checking out parts of the island which he loves the most.
I have to ask you.
Why did he need somewhere safe in the first place?
For some peace and quiet.
He's a sensitive soul.
And I would appreciate it if you stopped the veiled accusations
against my family, and you just find my son!
Tosh. Seal off the area and get a forensics team up here.
Boss. Billy, this is now a high-risk case.
Get Connor's photograph out on the PNC with the usual notice,
and get his information out on social media.
OK. And then, call the divers.
I'm going to need them to take a look in the water
up at Stromness Voe.
The Flett brothers' boat's got a sounder.
I'll ask Ally to get over there now.
And warn them that they might... find a body.
OK.
PHONE RINGS
Sandy? So, I spoke to a DS at Ayr Station.
He says Danny's story about the informant is a lie.
He stole drugs to sell them on,
and he didn't give a damn who got hurt.
Danny is bad news.
Sir. There's some locals arriving to search for Connor.
I've tried to talk to them, but they're determined.
So sorry to hear about your son.
We're just visiting, but we'd like to help if we can.
That's good of you, but I wouldn't want it to spoil your trip.
So, what do you think's happened to him?
We're not sure.
Look, thanks for the offer, but I've got to go.
LOCKS VEHICLE Nicole, what are you doing?
Just being a concerned citizen.
This isn't right.
It's got to stop, now. No yet.
Dad, come on.
OK, it's going to be light for a few hours yet, so...
I want you to go with them.
I don't want to have to send a search party out for the search party.
Does that sound OK?
THEY AGREE
Who's that with Bryd Fleming? I don't recognise him.
I think he's staying at the guest house on Bressay.
Rachel.
Look, there's a chance that Connor might be hurt,
so I think you should leave this to the others.
Look, if he is out there hurt,
then I want to be the one who finds him.
Yeah, I know how you feel but...
No, you don't know how I feel.
Keep an eye on her. Will do, sir.
Hey, there. We haven't met before, I'm DI Perez.
Lloyd Anderson.
Are those some of Connor's drawings in there? That's right.
I was giving him drawing lessons.
Oh, how long did you work with him? A few months.
He just needs some pointers here and there.
So, you're an artist yourself, then?
I am. I sort of make a living.
So, you're not going on the search, then?
Don't misunderstand me. I pray he's alive.
But that's not how it usually plays out, is it?
What, do you think he took his own life?
I can't say, but Connor was...
He was too sensitive for this world.
He took on board all the bad stuff.
Couldn't switch off from it.
It ate away at him.
Hi, Ally, it's Sandy. Have you found anything?
Not so far.
Don't worry how insignificant, just let us know.
We don't have time for this, Ally. What are you expecting to find?
I just want to help if I can.
BABY COOS
That baby is far too beautiful to be yours.
Carol Anne? Hi. Hello. It's a long time, no see.
Yeah, and I can see you've been busy.
Aye, yeah, she's, uh,
keeping me on my toes. Aren't you, Louise?
Well, it is a tonic to see you.
You got time for another coffee?
Yeah, got all the time in the world.
I'll give you that.
Oh, thank you.
That is mine.
Right.
What good's this going to do?
Nobody should get away with what he did.
Come on, move.
SHE GRUNTS
Come on. Grab the bag.
That way.
Go.
Connor. No.
Connor.
You bastards.
You bastards!
You bastards.
SHE LAUGHS
You bastards!
CAMERA CLICKS
Did you see him, Dad?
I thought he was going to have a fuckin' heart attack.
SHE LAUGHS
Oh, my God.
HE SOBS
The vehicle's registered to Cameron Waldron.
I could have told you that. I recognised him.
You're saying it's Pepper's family who did this? Do they have Connor?
PHONE RINGS I don't know.
Tosh?
We've found them.
Arrest them.
Let's go.
Where's Connor?
We know about your brother.
And we have the knives from the Cairns' kitchen,
which I'm pretty sure are going to have your prints all over them.
Pepper wasnae my brother.
So, what was Pepper to you?
My cousin.
You blame Danny Cairns for Pepper's death?
But not the people who actually killed him?
They wouldn't have touched him, if it wasnae for Cairns.
So this is the only justice I'm going to get.
Are you saying you've harmed Connor?
That's your words, no mine.
Is that Pepper?
I get the feeling you probably told him a million times
to try and sort himself out, is that right?
Nicole, I understand grief.
You need a release.
To lash out.
Connor Cairns didn't cause your grief.
So I'm going to ask you once again. Do you know where he is?
Even if I did, I still wouldnae tell you.
Your daughter's in very deep water.
And if it turns out that Connor Cairn's has been harmed,
it's going to get an awful lot worse.
We didn't come here to hurt anyone.
Why did you come here?
What you've got to understand is, Nicole loved Pepper
like a brother.
More than a brother, if I'm honest.
They were so close it wasn't healthy.
Then after Pepper died, she became obsessed with Cairns.
She did everything to track him down.
But I swear she didn't do anything to that boy.
So his disappearance was a happy accident,
then you then used that to taunt the family?
HE SCOFFS
Aye.
She just wanted them to suffer like she did.
Abbie and her friend?
That was you, wasn't it?
And the knives? Yeah.
We just wanted to give 'em a fright.
That was all.
What's your instinct, DI Perez? You believe him?
I do.
So this was about rubbing salt in the wounds of
the Cairns family and nothing more?
That's my call, yes.
The preliminary forensic report on the camper-van.
No blood. No sign of a struggle.
What do you want me to do with the pair of them?
Release under investigative lib.
Erm, are you sure that's a good idea?
That's my call, yes.
It seems a risk to let them go now.
What if they had accomplices?
Or they used a different vehicle to abduct him?
I don't think they have him.
I think we should be focusing on finding Connor.
Get them off the isles and get them out of my sight.
Will do.
How's it going, anyway?
Any sign of Connor?
Oh. Honestly,
I'd rather not talk about all that, if that's OK?
Actually I, uh, I bumped into Carol Anne today.
And she was saying that everyone at her work's got
a theory about what happened to him.
Carol Anne Mane?
Hmm.
Didn't you used to go out with her?
Did I? Just-just for a couple months.
I thought it was longer.
What, are you jealous? Oh,
you think your man's still got it then, do ya?
I didn't say that. Maybe she's desperate.
Oh.
What makes you so keen to find him?
If your son was missing, you'd want people to look for him.
Ally, let's call it a night. We've wasted enough time on this.
Just a bit longer.
Y'know they found Pictish treasure here in the '50s,
maybe we should go for a treasure hunt.
It's taken millions of years to make all this.
And now we're going to destroy it.
Are you listening?
I said there might be treasure here.
Really?
Yeah. Well, I could do with some treasure.
THEY LAUGH
KNOCK ON DOOR
Meg. Hi. Come in. Thanks. Erm, I won't stay, though.
There's, there's a party down at the beach
because it's the equinox, apparently.
Erm, I just wondered if you fancied coming for a bit?
You know what, I'd love to, but I've got work to do.
So, take a break.
I don't think I can.
OK. Sorry.
No, it's, it's fine.
Here, look, I'll get it.
HE SIGHS
CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
Hi, Meg, you on your own? You want to come and join us?
Erm, thanks, I'm meeting someone.
Tea for two.
I'm sorry for being a dick.
SHE CHUCKLES
Well, it's fine. You're here now.
Cheers.
Cheers to you.
Listen, about earlier.
When you used your work as
an excuse not to come out with me, you mean?
Is that what I did?
It's OK. I get it. You're protecting yourself.
You don't want to get hurt again.
But just so you to know, neither do I.
PHONE RINGS
HE SIGHS
Billy. Ally's sounder's picking up something on
the bottom of Stromness Voe. They're bringing it up now.
OK.
Sorry.
Ally fishes here regularly, it's been recently dumped.
It could be nothing, but we thought you should know.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Connor?!
What the hell are they doing here?
Sandy, keep them away from here, Alex, help him.
Sorry. Stop right there. Is it Connor? Please tell me.
sorry, you are not allowed any closer.
This is a crime scene. You are not allowed any closer.
You have to stay back. But it's my son.
Sorry, but you just have to wait.
Oh, God.
It isn't Connor.
SHE SOBS
Please go home.
Well, if it's not Connor, then who the hell is it?
