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? GRUNTS
You're on your own.
She's our daughter.
HE BREATHES DEEPLY
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?
HE EXHALES
Bill.
THEY GROAN
Bill Martin. Lovely guy.
CHRIS EXCLAIMS

Our daughter?
I just need to know if she's been here.
HE SIGHS
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

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.
CHATTERING
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.
HE CHUCKLES
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.

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.

HE SIGHS COPD.
It's terminal.
So, you see...
I haven't got anything to lose.

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...

He found out.

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.

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.
HE EXHALES
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.
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...

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.
SHE BREATHES SHAKILY
..a referendum.
Think they'll agree to that? Well,

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.
HE SIGHS
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.
HE SIGHS
Don't panic. That's the main thing.
It'll be OK.
We'll find her.
Stick to your brief.
HE SIGHS
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.

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!
THUD
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?
SHE SOBS
OK, I'll start the tape and we can get going with interview.
RECORDER CLICKS ON
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.
WHISPERS: Should I tell them everything?
Stuart.
What do you want to tell us?
Right.
INHALES DEEPLY
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.
HE SIGHS
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.

HE SIGHS
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.
HE SIGHS
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.
THEY STRAIN
Just remember who I am.
Who you are talking to.

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 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?
HE CHUCKLES
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.

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?!
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.

Do you know who he's working for? Eh?
