Hope Springs (2009–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
Sadie introduces Ellie to Bronius, the forger, but his price is high and Ellie challenges him to a winner-takes-all poker game, also involving Sadie, Anne Marie and Euan,who, like Ellie, cheat. Ellie and Sadie, working together, fleece Bronius,who gives the fake passports to Shoo, who hides them, but Euan tricks Ellie into gambling away the hotel to him. Ronan, bullied by his father, attempts suicide and Josie stops him. He confesses that he accidentally killed Billy McKenzie after Billy murdered Katie and threw his body in the loch. She persuades him to tell Gil, who wants the loch drained. Euan is clearly implicated and Anne Marie offers to give him an alibi in exchange for the hotel.
Right, everyone listen up,
you might as well all go home,
cos the wedding...
The wedding's over.
Let's just forget it, you know,
you can take your flipping ring.
Now go on, get lost.
Unless of course you
know a suitable forger.
No, but I know a man who does.
Cheers.
Oh, I flipping lost out again.
It's no fun on your own.
It's solitaire, Shoo. You're
supposed to play it on your own.
Guys...
For God's sakes, what is it?
Marius's car...
Bits of it are coming up.
Oh, my good God.
It's just the radiator
grill at the moment.
Right. We're gonna have to move.
Sadie, your Lithuanian contact.
He's been sitting on
our passports for weeks.
You tell him we want them today.
You can't boss Bronius around.
If he can't deliver,
we'll find someone else.
Oh, yes? Who for instance?
Phone him.
Bronius. Sadie Cairncroft
here, how do I find you?
Oh... Not so good,
what with all this damp.
But hey-ho.
About these passports
we ordered up from you?
Right. The thing is, Bronius,
I was wondering instead of next week,
any chance we can have them today?
Only we're a wee bit desperate here.
You're a star!
About eleven o'clock?
Sadie, YOU are the star.
Well, it's our last day
in Hope Springs, girls,
so, erm, enjoy.
I'm away to let Ann
Marie know I'm leaving.
I can't just disappear
like the last time.
She won't talk to you, Sadie.
How many times have you tried?
And who's to blame her?
Send her a letter?
Write down how you really feel?
She's my daughter,
however stupid she's being.
I need to see her face to face.
Ann Marie! Let me in!
Ann Marie, I just want to talk.
Ann Marie!
Let me in!
Gil.
I thought you were staying at Mo's?
I was. She's in the kitchen.
Gil let me in.
Is he back, then?
What do you care?
That's my grandchild you're carrying.
My baby and I don't need anything
from you, thank you very much.
Nor my so-called husband.
Och, he's just angry,
but if he's back that's
a good sign, surely?
Well, I'll go and leave
the two of you alone
and come back later because there's
something I need to tell you.
Oh, I'm just going.
Don't bother, it's me that's leaving.
You're not leaving Hope Springs?
It's not working, us both
being in the same village.
And what about Katie's murder?
Are you just going to
walk away from that?
You'll break Ina's heart.
I think Ann Marie and Euan
have seen to that, don't you?
You'd better get a solicitor.
You and I need to talk
about your future, Ann Marie.
I want to help.
Too late to come and
play the prodigal mum now.
Hey! What the hell
d'you think you're doing?
I'm going about my business.
That dog's been worrying my sheep.
That's Ronan Harris's dog.
Aye, and his dad'll ken I'm full
within my rights to shoot it.
Now, out my way, lassie.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
You and your dog off my land, get off.
Going where? I don't know yet.
I won't be keeping in touch.
Thanks to you, I had the most
miserable wedding in history.
I didn't want you to get hurt.
No? You seemed to enjoy it.
You and your wife-beater husband.
I see he didn't stick around long
either. Did you jinx that too?
It wasn't going to work out.
He saw the light, did he?
You can't leave Hope Springs, Gil.
This is your home.
Did I just hear right? Yes, you did.
You can't do this to me, Gil!
Not after all I've been through?
You'll be getting a far better policeman
than me on the investigation now.
OK, but not one who knew Katie,
who was here when it all happened.
It'll go to the bottom
of someone's pile.
I'm sorry.
Fine, you just abandon it.
You were nowhere near solving it anyway.
You're going to quit before
you've caught the killer?
Look, I've had just about enough.
Well, I'm sorry, but however
angry you are with Ellie,
or Ann Marie, don't take it out on Ina.
For God's sake, she's had enough
to put up with from selfish men.
I thought you were different.
You know what?
Do what you want. It's
none of my business.
Nash, what you doing
here? What happened?
I found him up on the hill
getting shot at by a farmer.
What? What the hell were you
doing, letting him run loose?
I left him at home. Must've been my dad.
He's not in the best
of moods at the moment.
He would've got him killed if I
hadn't landed that farmer a kick.
So you better find a
way to protect him, mate!
It's World War three in my house?
Maybe you shouldn't have a dog!
Maybe you should mind your own business.
He likes you.
Well, he can always come and
stay at the caravan any time,
you know, if your place gets too heavy.
You're not taking my dog away
from me. He's all I've got.
Of course not! I'm just trying to help.
Ah well, don't bother.
I don't deserve it anyway.
She can act as cold as she
likes, inside she's jelly.
On her own, pregnant, her
marriage dreams in ruins.
My daughter needs her mum.
So, does that mean
you're not coming with us?
Well, how can I?
She's giving birth in a couple
of months, she's in a state.
How could I leave her, Hannah?
Look, I feel sorry for Ann Marie,
but you're not going to be much
good to her in prison, are you?
You can't stay, Sadie.
Surely you can see that?
Um, Sadie...
Bronius. My pleasure to meet
you again, Mrs Cairncross.
This is my friend, Ellie.
I, um, recognise you from your photo.
I can recommend Lithuania,
it's a beautiful country.
Beautiful women. Like you.
Ah, thanks for the tip.
I'll just get on with the lunches.
Er, maybe we should go somewhere
more private? My office perhaps?
This is a bar, isn't
it? I'd like a drink.
I expect you'd like a LARGE vodka?
Diet Coke.
Going somewhere, boss?
No.
Well, not just yet, anyway.
Get those mobile transcripts out.
We've got work to do.
Lady, let's do the deal nice and normal
and we can make the swap on the way out.
The deal's been done, surely?
Yeah, 5,000.
Half up front, half on delivery.
The money is in my office.
Thing is, though, express delivery.
It comes at a price.
Pardon?
Another five thousand to be precise.
That's seven and a half grand?
We don't have that kind of
money. How much do you have?
What's in our safe.
What we need to run this place.
I'll tell you what. To give
me some fun for my trouble
we'll cut for it.
You win, I'll give
you the goods right now
for the 5,000 agreed.
I win, it's 10,000
and I get whatever's
in your safe as well.
Your cards.
Your choice.
Let me, Ellie. My mother
always said I had the gift.
What gift's that, then ay?
Making an arse of things?
Shoo, this address, well
it's all over the place.
Yeah, cos of your daft Scotch spelling.
Well, you'd be safer just putting
it through his letter box yourself.
Or better still, give
it to him in person.
'Scuse me. Shoo.
Stick this on the
board, would you, please.
I heard you gave up
your job at the hotel.
Yeah? I heard some stuff about you too.
Och, I never meant that.
That'll be a pound a week.
Mud sticks in this place,
I guess it's just a relief
when it's someone else
it's sticking to. I'm Sorry.
Dean, there's a letter for you.
Two-and-a-half thousand put aside
especially for our passports,
and £465.83.
Chicken food.
Like I told you, we don't have
the money you're asking for.
You're not fooling me this
is all the money you've got.
Ladies, I thought you
said you were desperate.
When you're ready to do
some serious business,
I'll see you again, Mrs Cairncross.
Look, maybe we can fix
things sooner than you think?
You like cards. We run a
poker school here on Fridays.
If you're feeling lucky?
We don't advertise.
No...
It's an old-fashioned
Highland gambling den.
We only invite people with money.
Maybe you could give us the
chance to win our passports back?
Josie, take whatever cash
you need from the safe.
The two of you can get into
town. Come on, no time to lose.
There's the small matter of lunches?
No, it's all right. I know
what we need. I'll go myself.
Sadie, we need you on the phone.
You're the one with the contacts.
Make it sound exciting, free
drinks, that kind of thing.
We only need a couple of keen
punters. We can fleece that Euan.
Oh, and most important let them
know it's a "no-limits" game.
What's he doing hanging about here?
Shoo, get rid of him.
Ina gave me this.
You can make out what
I was trying to say?
Well, you've got terrible writing, Shoo,
but if this bit means please
can we get back together...?
Yeah?
Well, at least you spelt my name right.
I'm gonna have to give you lessons.
I know I shouldn't, but I
can't help it. I love you.
It's me's taking charge now.
I am not letting Ellie run our
lives for us any more. Let her try.
I'll tell her to back off.
I don't want to be apart
from you, not for a second.
Not even a half a second.
Bye then. Bye, bye Hannah.
See you, bye, see you soon.
I'm just so relieved.
Well, done, Mum.
If Gil had gone just when
there's fresh evidence,
our Katie's killer might never be found.
Son.
A little something I picked up
from the jeweller's in Fort William.
If you think you're going to buy
me off with guilt gifts, forget it.
Come on, look at it, eh? Beautiful.
Just like my wife.
Just take it, Mum, please!
Come on, listen to the boy, Ina.
He's talking sense for once.
We don't need anything from you, Euan.
Not any more.
Is that right, eh?
And what about you, son?
Are you going to stand on
your own two feet as well, eh?
Tell him, Ronan.
Ronan?
He's right.
I'm just a waste of space!
I want a divorce, Euan.
Oh, there's some more stuff in the jeep.
Never mind that now, you're going
to have to move out the caravan.
Eh?
Me and Dean are back together.
Shoo, what's the point?
We're leaving tomorrow.
Please, Josie. I mean that'll
make it all the more special.
It's our last night together.
Oh, OK.
I'll kip in one of the guest rooms.
Come on, help me get
the rest of these boxes.
If Ina divorces me, I lose
all of her daddy's trust money.
Oh, my heart bleeds.
I just need you to talk to her.
Tell her you put pressure on
me to sleep with you. So I will.
Oh, come on, you know the kind of thing.
No man could resist. Whatever.
Now why the hell would
I do that for you?
Because then I can help
you screw Ellie Williams.
Well, that's music...
I've been invited to a poker
game she's setting up tonight
for some Russian friend of hers.
I've got it on good authority
the stakes will be high.
Sky high. So?
Well, I'm a dab hand at poker, doll.
Especially with a little
help from a friend.
You help me build up a decent pot,
I can hit Ellie Williams where it hurts.
Interested?
Which bit's the camera?
Like I've got a clue.
Leave it to the pro, ladies.
Fantastic the kit they
make for crims these days.
Da-da!
Right. You'd better get
fixed up the other end.
I just need to sort you
out with this ear-piece.
So far, so cunning, eh?
Er, OK, Hans, upstairs.
I'm keeping Nash inside.
He's had a bit of a fright
today, he needs me around.
You do what you want, son.
You know what Dad'll say?
He can say what he likes.
You wanted me back on the case, Ina?
Well, I'm afraid I've come
to take Ronan to the station.
Again? I've got a few
more questions to ask you
now that we've got the transcripts
back from Billy McKenzie's mobile.
Don't look so worried, son.
It's just a few
questions, like Gil said.
For Katie, eh?
Oooh.
Houston, we have visual contact.
Great, got audio too.
Can you sit in each of the
chairs, like you're holding a hand?
Good, next.
Yep, next.
Hold on. I just need to adjust
the angle on camera four.
Then the money is
good as in our pockets.
"Think R fancies me." I mean
who's "R" if it's not you, Ronan?
I don't give a monkey's what Katie said,
I never fancied her.
She's my own cousin.
It's rubbish, Mum, I swear.
"Meeting UE tonight for the dosh."
It seems she was getting money
from somebody with those initials.
Could she have been
blackmailing somebody?
Blackmail? I don't know.
Why were you trying
to warn Billy off her?
His dad's in jail and
his mum's a hooker!
I never wanted him near her.
And too right, eh?
He only strangled her!
So you didn't fancy her?
He's telling the truth, Gil.
Katie fancied herself.
She loved winding me up...
and Billy.
Look where it got her.
So why did you stop
sending Billy hate messages?
If you think he murdered your
cousin, why didn't you text him
after he went missing to say
how much more you hated him?
Well, answer him, Ronan,
and let's be done with it.
I just didn't, right?
Well, I find that very strange.
Find it what you want, it's the truth?
I'm phoning his dad. He's
a lawyer, he should be here.
There's no need. He can go... For now.
Come on, son.
That boy is guilty of something.
Mmm, I have to admit you are
getting rather good at these.
Thank you. Can you make them
with flying fish and pineapple?
I've just seen Mo.
He's up for it.
Looks like we've got
ourselves a poker game.
Yes! And we'll be long gone
before Marius pops up to say hello.
Helloooo?
It's Ann Marie.
Mum, I'm sorry.
Ah, come here.
No, Ellie, both of you.
I want to say sorry
for the way I've acted.
It's not your fault my
wedding went belly up,
and you only did what you
thought was right, Ellie.
Yeah. And, er...
I want to say sorry that, er...
things went so wrong for you.
What's that sign all about outside?
Oh, just a wee card
game we've got going.
Cards? Oh, I love cards.
Erm, this is a poker game,
darling, for the lads.
Oh, what, so none of
you lot are playing?
You see it's a... It's a private game.
I'll tell you what, it
would really cheer me up.
I've always loved a wee flutter.
You and me both, eh, mum?
This, dear, is way outside
your league. High rollers.
Really? In that case,
it's just as well my estranged
husband hasn't heard about it
or he'd be forced to put
a stop to it, wouldn't he?
After all, as I remember it,
"For pubs and other
alcohol-licensed premises,
"the legal limits on stakes
for poker is £100 per day"?
Or have I got that wrong?
My, you do know your stuff, don't you?
Like you, my family's been
in the trade for some time.
Still it makes it all the
more exciting being illegal.
You do realise Euan Harris is coming?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I'm past all that.
Euan can do what he
wants for all I care.
Yeah, and I'm sure that you and Gil
will get back together again once...
Oh, that is nice of you, Ellie,
wanting Gil and I to play
happy families. Really sweet.
Sometimes just the word sorry helps.
Don't you think I've tried that.
Can anyone have these?
"Meeting UE tonight for the dosh."
What names do we know that start
with U? I mean there's Una...
Umberto?
Oh, aye, aye, round here?
What Umberto McCulloch? McDougal?
Ulrika.
Give me a break!
You got my message then?
Yeah. What do you think I'm doing here?
Well, I don't know what's
going on here, Euan,
but something not stacking up.
What, like Chief Inspector Cameron
having a personal
grudge against my family?
Shame someone had to
persuade him to stay, eh?
He lied to Gil and Gil knows it.
That's crap, Mum. Tell the truth.
Why didn't you phone Billy
McKenzie after Katie's murder?
It's obvious why he didn't, isn't it?
You knew McKenzie wouldn't
answer because he could be traced?
Isn't that right, Ronan?
There was no point.
Well, why didn't you say that to Gil?
Look Ina, the boy's under a lot
of stress for all sorts of reasons.
I mean, I'd be the first to admit
I'm as much to blame as anybody.
Yeah, you've got that much right.
I.. I suppose I was
scared that Cameron might
take anything I said the wrong way.
Cos, like, I left Billy a lot of
messages. Threatening him an' that.
There! See!
You're getting yourself
into a state over nothing.
I mean for God's sake all
the boy was trying to do
was protect our Katie, and now
even his mum's pointing the finger?
It just seemed to me you
were holding something back.
I'm sorry I doubted you, Ronan.
Forgive me, please.
Yeah, very good.
Now why don't you go away
home and I'll shut up here.
Remember, I've got this
poker thing tonight.
Ann Marie came to see me.
What did she want?
She told me she put you
under a lot of pressure to...
Look it's just like I told you, Ina...
I just wanted shot of her
pestering me, all right?
Well, that's not to say you
still didn't do the dirty on me.
I know.
And I curse the day I gave in.
She was blackmailing someone, Dad.
Katie said... You Idiot!
Whatever that little slut was doing,
you just got me caught up in it, right?
You know I really don't know
why I waste so much of my energy
trying to keep you out of trouble.
It really would be better
if you just disappeared
off the face of the
earth, you know that? Yeah?
I can vouch for these
myself. They're delicious.
I could get used to all this pampering.
Maybe I should lose
a husband more often?
Oh, Hannah.
You know, seeing as
you're not cooking tonight,
I bet Ina would be
really glad to see you.
You could practise
your recipes together?
I'm busy tonight.
And so should Ina be... divorcing you.
Well, I didn't expect to see you here.
I couldn't resist the chance
of taking you to the cleaners.
Welcome to our little gathering.
You brought them with you? All safe.
You screw us over again and I swear.
Ellie... all I'm looking
to do is cover my costs.
And once you've got your
10,000, that's it. You walk out.
You better hope you win...
otherwise I might have to
ask for payment in kind.
Ladies and gentlemen. To the table.
Here we go.
Ladies and gentleman, I
presume you all know the rules,
this is a Texas Hold 'em
cash game. Unlimited pot.
Seven of Diamonds...
Clubs, Hearts.
Camera Two. Spades and Diamonds.
Camera 3. Diamonds.
Go to Bronius again.
OK. Nine of clubs...
two hearts.
I'll see the 20 and
I'll raise you all 40.
Feeling lucky. Ha.
Maybe some of it will rub off on us?
Flop 'em, Sadie.
Three of Diamonds. OK...
King high, 10 high, OK.
Hands? Odds on, Sadie...
'..or nothing.'
I fold.
Sadie's got three 10s.
20.
I'm in for 50.
Call.
I'm in.
Me to shout?
'Looking good Ellie.'
Raise the cocky git.
I'll see your 50 and raise you 50.
In.
Last card...
20.
I am in for 60.
I'm out. Me too.
Mrs Cairncross?
'Hold your nerve Ellie.'
Call.
Call.
Right... Showdown.
Two pairs, 10s and eights.
Three 10s.
Three of a kind wins.
'Well, done Sadie.'
Another round of drinks?
Ellie, two grand up.
Look at the smile on Sadie's face.
Jose? Hey Jose, where're you going?
Call, Ellie.
'Come on... Hold it.'
OK. All clear.
You must have a good hand.
Sadie, call.
But you only put 50...
Hey, boy, hey! Easy, easy, easy.
Hey, easy, boy, OK. OK, OK.
You take me to him...
Let's play serious.
Count me in.
I'll bet youse 150.
I'll see your 150
and I'll raise you another 100.
I'll raise you both 300.
Well, that's it. I'm out.
What have you got?
Three of a kind.
Pair of 10s.
Two pairs, 10s, kings.
Three fours.
Flush.
Well, I think I'll call it a
day while my luck's still in.
You must have ten grand there, Mum.
You been taking lessons, Sadie? Me?
No, I just make it up as I go along.
Shoo? Will you come and help me
put my winnings away somewhere safe?
That's the girl.
You for staying on, Bronius?
She's, um...
too good for me. I quit.
I think I'll call it quits. Nonsense...
we can still have an interesting game.
You, me, Mo, Ann Marie...
'Please, Ellie.'
Let's rob him rotten.
One more game then? Winner takes all.
Sadie says you're from Litho...
Lithuania. Have you ever been there?
No.
Whatever.
Are they all thieving
slimy gets like you?
You got those passports cheap.
You're joking, right? In London, we only
had to pay Fat Mandy 200 quid apiece.
That's like... What's that?
Four twos, that's... £800?
Shove it in there.
D'you think I'm, like,
gaga or something?
This is not Russia, y'know. Just
shut up, and give me the money.
Passports, or you can sod off.
Your deal.
Sorry, guys. Stakes are
getting a bit real for me.
Cheery-bye, now.
Well, well...
Takes the big boys, doesn't it?
You know, Ann Marie,
I really shouldn't be helping you but that divorce
of yours is really going to cost you, isn't it?
Well, you've got all my money anyway...
but I so wanted to whip your backside.
I could do with a drink.
What about you?
Well, something soft.
Right then,
just you and me, Ellie.
"Think R fancies me." I mean,
that is definitely Ronan.
But UE...
There's no-one with those initials on the
electoral roll either here or in Cross.
OK, maybe it doesn't stand for a name.
Uncle... Uncle!
Uncle Euan.
Nash.
Leave me alone. Go.
'Way, boy. Go.
Away, boy!
We were worried about you. Nash and me.
What you doing?
Just take him and leave me alone.
Take him or I'll jump.
If you wanna kill yourself,
there's a hundred better ways
where you won't end up in hospital
with a stomach full of seaweed.
If you don't take him, I'll
take him with me, I swear.
You'd drown your own dog cos you're too
scared to face up to your own problems?
Like stand up to your bully of a dad?
You better start talking to me, Ronan.
What the hell's going on?
I killed Billy McKenzie.
I caught him in the act.
It was him who murdered Katie.
You look worried, Mum. Me?
No, not a bit of it. I was just
going to say the same to you.
Don't you worry about me.
I'm fine and dandy.
How can you be?
Your shout.
He's all bluff.
Raise him sky high!
Raise you 200.
Hmm.
Well, I'm not seeing much of a hand
there on the table, Ellie, so...
I'll see your two...
..and I'll raise you another two...
..hundred grand.
You what?
This place is good for two
hundred grand, isn't it?
You're betting two hundred
grand against this hotel?
Yeah.
Well, in that case...
Ellie? What're you doing?
Where are you going?
'Ellie, where are you going?'
'Ellie?'
Is she winning? Hannah? Is she?
Well? What's going on? I think...
I think she's just dropped the
keys to the hotel in the pot.
She never has? Has she?
She's betting my home?
Look, can I have some quiet, please,
so I can think? We can't lose.
We've got three queens,
all he's got is ace high.
Even if the last card's another
ace, we're still quids in.
Last card.
'Ace... That's all right.'
Show me what you've got.
Ladies first.
Three of a kind.
Me too. Three aces.
He's cheated, Ellie, I
swear he only had one...
I'm rewinding the tape now.
Stop... Look... There!
We've got it on tape, Ellie. Tell him!
'Tell the bugger we can prove it!'
How the hell can I do that?
Can? You...just...did!
Don't tell me we've lost the hotel.
We can seal the deal right now.
Deal?
What's all this about? Ellie
staked the hotel, Ann Marie.
And lost. No.
You gambled the hotel?
Grief stricken, are you?
I believe you've got the deeds here,
Ellie? So, you know, I'm a lawyer,
and, Sadie, you can be a witness.
Look, can we talk about this?
There's nothing to say. I won it
fair and square. No, you didn't.
What, are you suggesting I
cheated, Sadie? Why would I do that?
I mean... every pack comes
with five aces, doesn't it?
You didn't hear me accusing you of cheating
when you were on your winning streak.
Well, maybe I should have! I've a good mind to
phone Gil Cameron right now and to hell with you.
Look, don't worry, ladies.
I'm not just going to turf you out.
You've got till the end of the month.
Will you wait... I'm
sorry we lost the hotel,
but look on the bright side. At least we've
got the money and the passports to get out now.
Aye, and leave my daughter
to the likes of him!
Celebratory drink?
I want your money,
Euan, not your company.
Hannah... What the hell?
God! What've you done? It was Bronius.
He's took the money and the
passports and he's just naffed off.
So much for your contact!
Oh, he was OK for budget vodka.
I never bought fake
passports from him before.
He told us if he sees us
again, or we go to the police,
he's gonna dob us in for
running an illegal gambling den
after he's had us knee-capped.
I tried to fight him
off, but I couldn't!
What's happened?
She fell down the cellar stairs.
Oh, babe... I'm all right,
Dean, I'm just a bit shook up.
Take her to the caravan, will you, Dean?
Look after her while we tie up something here.
Come on.
I can't live with it any more.
My dad knows.
He's tried to protect me.
I just want out the whole thing.
I've made a nightmare for everyone.
I'm evil!
Kept hoping it was just a dream...
but the more you wish and
wish you hadn't done it...
You should face up to it.
Take the manslaughter rap and
do the time. You mean murder?
There's mitigating
circumstances. Trust me.
I know what I'm talking about.
Have you ever seen the
inside of a prison cell?
You want it off your
conscience, don't you?
Just on the dotted line,
there, darling... That's it.
Oh, er... Sorry to interrupt
your private function, Ellie.
Are you still here? Some questions I need to ask
you concerning the night of Katie's murder. Me?
Is there somewhere private
that we could go? No, no,
you got any questions to
ask, you ask them here. Fine.
Evidence from Billy McKenzie's sim
card gives me reason to believe that
you had a prior engagement to meet
your niece that evening, in private.
I don't know what
you're trying to imply!
I gather, from Ina, that you didn't
come home from work straightaway.
What were you doing?
All right...
..if you really want to know.
I did have an arrangement that night,
but not with my niece, you fool.
I was meeting your
then fiancee, Ann Marie.
And, er...
very much in private.
So you know, it wasn't a
one night stand that we had.
Seeing as you insist on
rubbing your own nose in it.
Ann Marie? Do you want to
confirm what he's telling me?
I'm not confirming anything of the sort,
why should I? Look, your embittered
ex is on a personal vendetta
to implicate me in
my own niece's murder,
because he's failed to come
up with any real suspects.
Were you with him on the
night of Katie's murder?
You know...
..I'm not sure if I was.
Let me think...
It was a Thursday night, wasn't it?
This is just the start, Shoo.
I saved up some, and soon as I get another job,
we're gonna move into a flat of our own, right?
Let's just make the
most of what we got, eh?
You still got cold feet, haven't you?
I don't want you doing anything cos
you think I'm pushing you into it.
No, I'm not. OK, so what's the problem?
Why do I get the feeling
you just don't trust me?
Do you trust me?
Of course I do.
Well, that's good, cos I've
done a well bad thing for you.
A bad thing? What bad thing?
I can't tell you. But it's
because I want to be with you
that I've done it, and not
because I've got cold feet, right?
Oh, no, don't tell me Josie's got
nicked for doing him over again...
Well, I haven't got anything marked.
So, you're saying you
can't give him an alibi?
Sorry, Chief.
Ronan's got something to say. Turned up
at the station, wanted to see you, urgent.
What is it, Ronan?
I...
I done a murder.
You killed Katie?
No. Billy killed Katie.
So I killed him.
This can't be true.
What're you saying, son?
I think we'd better start
from the beginning, eh?
Katie said she was going to meet Billy.
So I followed her. I knew
they'd be at the caravan.
'I don't know what I was gonna
do. Just spoil it for 'em, maybe.
'But...they weren't there.
'I got to the side of the loch, she was
just lying there, I didn't know what to do.
'Then I saw McKenzie.'
I never done it!
'I just...'
I just saw red.
I'm gonna kill you, you've
gone too far, McKenzie!
I don't honestly know if
I meant to kill him or not.
I don't know what I was thinking...
I panicked.
I had to get rid of the body, cos, like, who
would believe me if they were both found dead?
I know what folk thought about me
being jealous, me fancying Katie.
This way, it looked as if Billy killed
Katie then done a runner. No, you're lying!
He's lying! He killed Katie,
and Billy, Billy's just gone...
Babes... No! No, he's...
He's lying! I'm not lying.
Not now. So where did
you... get rid of the body?
You dumped it in the loch, didn't you?
That's why you came home all wet!
Yeah. In the loch.
Be well gone by now.
I can't believe this...
My own son, a murderer!
Let's get him down the
station and charge him.
Billy is not dead. Dean...
Look after Nash, eh? Yeah, no worries.
I have to tell his mother.
Hey, you'd better be damn sure of your alibi,
Harries. You've still got questions to answer yourself.
So, that's it, then? Case closed?
Well, there's a few loose ends.
What? You don't think he's telling the
truth? We'll see when we drag the loch.
Drag? Yeah, well, if there is a body
in there, we'll find remains for sure.
Whoa, hey, you OK? Just squeamish...
Sorry, seriously it's, er...
Well, well, what a surprise...
Oh, this looks cosy.
Look, you've got the
wrong end of the stick.
Oh, don't worry.
No need to explain yourselves to me.
OK? I'll, er... I'll see you later.
Oh, there you are. Ells
has called a meeting.
Dean gone home to tell his mum?
You got to hope he's right...
Well, maybe Ronan is winding
everybody up. He ain't.
He's straight down the
line, Shoo. Trust me.
Poor Dean...
Stay... Stay.
Come on.
Well, that's some good news.
There's been more rain forecast for next
week than for the whole of last year.
So at least no-one'll be
hanging around the loch.
Sorry, Hannah, you're going to have
to think again. What's the matter?
They're dragging the loch
for Billy's body. Oh...
At least Dean and his
mum can bury him. True.
But Billy's body's not all they'll
find, is it? There's also Marius,
stuffed in the boot of his own car.
Oh, yeah...
First, you'd better tell me
why you need an alibi, Euan.
Let's just say I may have tried a little too
hard to keep my stupid son out of trouble.
It was a recipe for disaster his cousin
Katie coming to live with us, the little tart.
Oh, you're fond of
that word, aren't you?
The day she died, I offered
her money to leave the country.
I could see she was winding
him up into a frenzy.
But no way do I want Cameron
knowing that now, nor Ina.
Incest on top of everything else...
Ronan would never get out.
Well, there is one thing
I might do it for...
Name your price.
This place. Oh, yes.
Sign it over to me and
you've got your alibi.
Where did you dump Billy's
body? Over there somewhere.
You're not pregnant, are you?
Like I wouldn't know
if I was pregnant. No...
By the way, you'll be missing these,
Shoo must have packed them in
her bag by accident. You what?
I'm selling up, Euan.
Couldn't we work something out?
We could, if you had cash.
We started out looking for a body and
ended up finding an arm. You never did!
Severed right there and
stuffed in the boot of a car.
you might as well all go home,
cos the wedding...
The wedding's over.
Let's just forget it, you know,
you can take your flipping ring.
Now go on, get lost.
Unless of course you
know a suitable forger.
No, but I know a man who does.
Cheers.
Oh, I flipping lost out again.
It's no fun on your own.
It's solitaire, Shoo. You're
supposed to play it on your own.
Guys...
For God's sakes, what is it?
Marius's car...
Bits of it are coming up.
Oh, my good God.
It's just the radiator
grill at the moment.
Right. We're gonna have to move.
Sadie, your Lithuanian contact.
He's been sitting on
our passports for weeks.
You tell him we want them today.
You can't boss Bronius around.
If he can't deliver,
we'll find someone else.
Oh, yes? Who for instance?
Phone him.
Bronius. Sadie Cairncroft
here, how do I find you?
Oh... Not so good,
what with all this damp.
But hey-ho.
About these passports
we ordered up from you?
Right. The thing is, Bronius,
I was wondering instead of next week,
any chance we can have them today?
Only we're a wee bit desperate here.
You're a star!
About eleven o'clock?
Sadie, YOU are the star.
Well, it's our last day
in Hope Springs, girls,
so, erm, enjoy.
I'm away to let Ann
Marie know I'm leaving.
I can't just disappear
like the last time.
She won't talk to you, Sadie.
How many times have you tried?
And who's to blame her?
Send her a letter?
Write down how you really feel?
She's my daughter,
however stupid she's being.
I need to see her face to face.
Ann Marie! Let me in!
Ann Marie, I just want to talk.
Ann Marie!
Let me in!
Gil.
I thought you were staying at Mo's?
I was. She's in the kitchen.
Gil let me in.
Is he back, then?
What do you care?
That's my grandchild you're carrying.
My baby and I don't need anything
from you, thank you very much.
Nor my so-called husband.
Och, he's just angry,
but if he's back that's
a good sign, surely?
Well, I'll go and leave
the two of you alone
and come back later because there's
something I need to tell you.
Oh, I'm just going.
Don't bother, it's me that's leaving.
You're not leaving Hope Springs?
It's not working, us both
being in the same village.
And what about Katie's murder?
Are you just going to
walk away from that?
You'll break Ina's heart.
I think Ann Marie and Euan
have seen to that, don't you?
You'd better get a solicitor.
You and I need to talk
about your future, Ann Marie.
I want to help.
Too late to come and
play the prodigal mum now.
Hey! What the hell
d'you think you're doing?
I'm going about my business.
That dog's been worrying my sheep.
That's Ronan Harris's dog.
Aye, and his dad'll ken I'm full
within my rights to shoot it.
Now, out my way, lassie.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
You and your dog off my land, get off.
Going where? I don't know yet.
I won't be keeping in touch.
Thanks to you, I had the most
miserable wedding in history.
I didn't want you to get hurt.
No? You seemed to enjoy it.
You and your wife-beater husband.
I see he didn't stick around long
either. Did you jinx that too?
It wasn't going to work out.
He saw the light, did he?
You can't leave Hope Springs, Gil.
This is your home.
Did I just hear right? Yes, you did.
You can't do this to me, Gil!
Not after all I've been through?
You'll be getting a far better policeman
than me on the investigation now.
OK, but not one who knew Katie,
who was here when it all happened.
It'll go to the bottom
of someone's pile.
I'm sorry.
Fine, you just abandon it.
You were nowhere near solving it anyway.
You're going to quit before
you've caught the killer?
Look, I've had just about enough.
Well, I'm sorry, but however
angry you are with Ellie,
or Ann Marie, don't take it out on Ina.
For God's sake, she's had enough
to put up with from selfish men.
I thought you were different.
You know what?
Do what you want. It's
none of my business.
Nash, what you doing
here? What happened?
I found him up on the hill
getting shot at by a farmer.
What? What the hell were you
doing, letting him run loose?
I left him at home. Must've been my dad.
He's not in the best
of moods at the moment.
He would've got him killed if I
hadn't landed that farmer a kick.
So you better find a
way to protect him, mate!
It's World War three in my house?
Maybe you shouldn't have a dog!
Maybe you should mind your own business.
He likes you.
Well, he can always come and
stay at the caravan any time,
you know, if your place gets too heavy.
You're not taking my dog away
from me. He's all I've got.
Of course not! I'm just trying to help.
Ah well, don't bother.
I don't deserve it anyway.
She can act as cold as she
likes, inside she's jelly.
On her own, pregnant, her
marriage dreams in ruins.
My daughter needs her mum.
So, does that mean
you're not coming with us?
Well, how can I?
She's giving birth in a couple
of months, she's in a state.
How could I leave her, Hannah?
Look, I feel sorry for Ann Marie,
but you're not going to be much
good to her in prison, are you?
You can't stay, Sadie.
Surely you can see that?
Um, Sadie...
Bronius. My pleasure to meet
you again, Mrs Cairncross.
This is my friend, Ellie.
I, um, recognise you from your photo.
I can recommend Lithuania,
it's a beautiful country.
Beautiful women. Like you.
Ah, thanks for the tip.
I'll just get on with the lunches.
Er, maybe we should go somewhere
more private? My office perhaps?
This is a bar, isn't
it? I'd like a drink.
I expect you'd like a LARGE vodka?
Diet Coke.
Going somewhere, boss?
No.
Well, not just yet, anyway.
Get those mobile transcripts out.
We've got work to do.
Lady, let's do the deal nice and normal
and we can make the swap on the way out.
The deal's been done, surely?
Yeah, 5,000.
Half up front, half on delivery.
The money is in my office.
Thing is, though, express delivery.
It comes at a price.
Pardon?
Another five thousand to be precise.
That's seven and a half grand?
We don't have that kind of
money. How much do you have?
What's in our safe.
What we need to run this place.
I'll tell you what. To give
me some fun for my trouble
we'll cut for it.
You win, I'll give
you the goods right now
for the 5,000 agreed.
I win, it's 10,000
and I get whatever's
in your safe as well.
Your cards.
Your choice.
Let me, Ellie. My mother
always said I had the gift.
What gift's that, then ay?
Making an arse of things?
Shoo, this address, well
it's all over the place.
Yeah, cos of your daft Scotch spelling.
Well, you'd be safer just putting
it through his letter box yourself.
Or better still, give
it to him in person.
'Scuse me. Shoo.
Stick this on the
board, would you, please.
I heard you gave up
your job at the hotel.
Yeah? I heard some stuff about you too.
Och, I never meant that.
That'll be a pound a week.
Mud sticks in this place,
I guess it's just a relief
when it's someone else
it's sticking to. I'm Sorry.
Dean, there's a letter for you.
Two-and-a-half thousand put aside
especially for our passports,
and £465.83.
Chicken food.
Like I told you, we don't have
the money you're asking for.
You're not fooling me this
is all the money you've got.
Ladies, I thought you
said you were desperate.
When you're ready to do
some serious business,
I'll see you again, Mrs Cairncross.
Look, maybe we can fix
things sooner than you think?
You like cards. We run a
poker school here on Fridays.
If you're feeling lucky?
We don't advertise.
No...
It's an old-fashioned
Highland gambling den.
We only invite people with money.
Maybe you could give us the
chance to win our passports back?
Josie, take whatever cash
you need from the safe.
The two of you can get into
town. Come on, no time to lose.
There's the small matter of lunches?
No, it's all right. I know
what we need. I'll go myself.
Sadie, we need you on the phone.
You're the one with the contacts.
Make it sound exciting, free
drinks, that kind of thing.
We only need a couple of keen
punters. We can fleece that Euan.
Oh, and most important let them
know it's a "no-limits" game.
What's he doing hanging about here?
Shoo, get rid of him.
Ina gave me this.
You can make out what
I was trying to say?
Well, you've got terrible writing, Shoo,
but if this bit means please
can we get back together...?
Yeah?
Well, at least you spelt my name right.
I'm gonna have to give you lessons.
I know I shouldn't, but I
can't help it. I love you.
It's me's taking charge now.
I am not letting Ellie run our
lives for us any more. Let her try.
I'll tell her to back off.
I don't want to be apart
from you, not for a second.
Not even a half a second.
Bye then. Bye, bye Hannah.
See you, bye, see you soon.
I'm just so relieved.
Well, done, Mum.
If Gil had gone just when
there's fresh evidence,
our Katie's killer might never be found.
Son.
A little something I picked up
from the jeweller's in Fort William.
If you think you're going to buy
me off with guilt gifts, forget it.
Come on, look at it, eh? Beautiful.
Just like my wife.
Just take it, Mum, please!
Come on, listen to the boy, Ina.
He's talking sense for once.
We don't need anything from you, Euan.
Not any more.
Is that right, eh?
And what about you, son?
Are you going to stand on
your own two feet as well, eh?
Tell him, Ronan.
Ronan?
He's right.
I'm just a waste of space!
I want a divorce, Euan.
Oh, there's some more stuff in the jeep.
Never mind that now, you're going
to have to move out the caravan.
Eh?
Me and Dean are back together.
Shoo, what's the point?
We're leaving tomorrow.
Please, Josie. I mean that'll
make it all the more special.
It's our last night together.
Oh, OK.
I'll kip in one of the guest rooms.
Come on, help me get
the rest of these boxes.
If Ina divorces me, I lose
all of her daddy's trust money.
Oh, my heart bleeds.
I just need you to talk to her.
Tell her you put pressure on
me to sleep with you. So I will.
Oh, come on, you know the kind of thing.
No man could resist. Whatever.
Now why the hell would
I do that for you?
Because then I can help
you screw Ellie Williams.
Well, that's music...
I've been invited to a poker
game she's setting up tonight
for some Russian friend of hers.
I've got it on good authority
the stakes will be high.
Sky high. So?
Well, I'm a dab hand at poker, doll.
Especially with a little
help from a friend.
You help me build up a decent pot,
I can hit Ellie Williams where it hurts.
Interested?
Which bit's the camera?
Like I've got a clue.
Leave it to the pro, ladies.
Fantastic the kit they
make for crims these days.
Da-da!
Right. You'd better get
fixed up the other end.
I just need to sort you
out with this ear-piece.
So far, so cunning, eh?
Er, OK, Hans, upstairs.
I'm keeping Nash inside.
He's had a bit of a fright
today, he needs me around.
You do what you want, son.
You know what Dad'll say?
He can say what he likes.
You wanted me back on the case, Ina?
Well, I'm afraid I've come
to take Ronan to the station.
Again? I've got a few
more questions to ask you
now that we've got the transcripts
back from Billy McKenzie's mobile.
Don't look so worried, son.
It's just a few
questions, like Gil said.
For Katie, eh?
Oooh.
Houston, we have visual contact.
Great, got audio too.
Can you sit in each of the
chairs, like you're holding a hand?
Good, next.
Yep, next.
Hold on. I just need to adjust
the angle on camera four.
Then the money is
good as in our pockets.
"Think R fancies me." I mean
who's "R" if it's not you, Ronan?
I don't give a monkey's what Katie said,
I never fancied her.
She's my own cousin.
It's rubbish, Mum, I swear.
"Meeting UE tonight for the dosh."
It seems she was getting money
from somebody with those initials.
Could she have been
blackmailing somebody?
Blackmail? I don't know.
Why were you trying
to warn Billy off her?
His dad's in jail and
his mum's a hooker!
I never wanted him near her.
And too right, eh?
He only strangled her!
So you didn't fancy her?
He's telling the truth, Gil.
Katie fancied herself.
She loved winding me up...
and Billy.
Look where it got her.
So why did you stop
sending Billy hate messages?
If you think he murdered your
cousin, why didn't you text him
after he went missing to say
how much more you hated him?
Well, answer him, Ronan,
and let's be done with it.
I just didn't, right?
Well, I find that very strange.
Find it what you want, it's the truth?
I'm phoning his dad. He's
a lawyer, he should be here.
There's no need. He can go... For now.
Come on, son.
That boy is guilty of something.
Mmm, I have to admit you are
getting rather good at these.
Thank you. Can you make them
with flying fish and pineapple?
I've just seen Mo.
He's up for it.
Looks like we've got
ourselves a poker game.
Yes! And we'll be long gone
before Marius pops up to say hello.
Helloooo?
It's Ann Marie.
Mum, I'm sorry.
Ah, come here.
No, Ellie, both of you.
I want to say sorry
for the way I've acted.
It's not your fault my
wedding went belly up,
and you only did what you
thought was right, Ellie.
Yeah. And, er...
I want to say sorry that, er...
things went so wrong for you.
What's that sign all about outside?
Oh, just a wee card
game we've got going.
Cards? Oh, I love cards.
Erm, this is a poker game,
darling, for the lads.
Oh, what, so none of
you lot are playing?
You see it's a... It's a private game.
I'll tell you what, it
would really cheer me up.
I've always loved a wee flutter.
You and me both, eh, mum?
This, dear, is way outside
your league. High rollers.
Really? In that case,
it's just as well my estranged
husband hasn't heard about it
or he'd be forced to put
a stop to it, wouldn't he?
After all, as I remember it,
"For pubs and other
alcohol-licensed premises,
"the legal limits on stakes
for poker is £100 per day"?
Or have I got that wrong?
My, you do know your stuff, don't you?
Like you, my family's been
in the trade for some time.
Still it makes it all the
more exciting being illegal.
You do realise Euan Harris is coming?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I'm past all that.
Euan can do what he
wants for all I care.
Yeah, and I'm sure that you and Gil
will get back together again once...
Oh, that is nice of you, Ellie,
wanting Gil and I to play
happy families. Really sweet.
Sometimes just the word sorry helps.
Don't you think I've tried that.
Can anyone have these?
"Meeting UE tonight for the dosh."
What names do we know that start
with U? I mean there's Una...
Umberto?
Oh, aye, aye, round here?
What Umberto McCulloch? McDougal?
Ulrika.
Give me a break!
You got my message then?
Yeah. What do you think I'm doing here?
Well, I don't know what's
going on here, Euan,
but something not stacking up.
What, like Chief Inspector Cameron
having a personal
grudge against my family?
Shame someone had to
persuade him to stay, eh?
He lied to Gil and Gil knows it.
That's crap, Mum. Tell the truth.
Why didn't you phone Billy
McKenzie after Katie's murder?
It's obvious why he didn't, isn't it?
You knew McKenzie wouldn't
answer because he could be traced?
Isn't that right, Ronan?
There was no point.
Well, why didn't you say that to Gil?
Look Ina, the boy's under a lot
of stress for all sorts of reasons.
I mean, I'd be the first to admit
I'm as much to blame as anybody.
Yeah, you've got that much right.
I.. I suppose I was
scared that Cameron might
take anything I said the wrong way.
Cos, like, I left Billy a lot of
messages. Threatening him an' that.
There! See!
You're getting yourself
into a state over nothing.
I mean for God's sake all
the boy was trying to do
was protect our Katie, and now
even his mum's pointing the finger?
It just seemed to me you
were holding something back.
I'm sorry I doubted you, Ronan.
Forgive me, please.
Yeah, very good.
Now why don't you go away
home and I'll shut up here.
Remember, I've got this
poker thing tonight.
Ann Marie came to see me.
What did she want?
She told me she put you
under a lot of pressure to...
Look it's just like I told you, Ina...
I just wanted shot of her
pestering me, all right?
Well, that's not to say you
still didn't do the dirty on me.
I know.
And I curse the day I gave in.
She was blackmailing someone, Dad.
Katie said... You Idiot!
Whatever that little slut was doing,
you just got me caught up in it, right?
You know I really don't know
why I waste so much of my energy
trying to keep you out of trouble.
It really would be better
if you just disappeared
off the face of the
earth, you know that? Yeah?
I can vouch for these
myself. They're delicious.
I could get used to all this pampering.
Maybe I should lose
a husband more often?
Oh, Hannah.
You know, seeing as
you're not cooking tonight,
I bet Ina would be
really glad to see you.
You could practise
your recipes together?
I'm busy tonight.
And so should Ina be... divorcing you.
Well, I didn't expect to see you here.
I couldn't resist the chance
of taking you to the cleaners.
Welcome to our little gathering.
You brought them with you? All safe.
You screw us over again and I swear.
Ellie... all I'm looking
to do is cover my costs.
And once you've got your
10,000, that's it. You walk out.
You better hope you win...
otherwise I might have to
ask for payment in kind.
Ladies and gentlemen. To the table.
Here we go.
Ladies and gentleman, I
presume you all know the rules,
this is a Texas Hold 'em
cash game. Unlimited pot.
Seven of Diamonds...
Clubs, Hearts.
Camera Two. Spades and Diamonds.
Camera 3. Diamonds.
Go to Bronius again.
OK. Nine of clubs...
two hearts.
I'll see the 20 and
I'll raise you all 40.
Feeling lucky. Ha.
Maybe some of it will rub off on us?
Flop 'em, Sadie.
Three of Diamonds. OK...
King high, 10 high, OK.
Hands? Odds on, Sadie...
'..or nothing.'
I fold.
Sadie's got three 10s.
20.
I'm in for 50.
Call.
I'm in.
Me to shout?
'Looking good Ellie.'
Raise the cocky git.
I'll see your 50 and raise you 50.
In.
Last card...
20.
I am in for 60.
I'm out. Me too.
Mrs Cairncross?
'Hold your nerve Ellie.'
Call.
Call.
Right... Showdown.
Two pairs, 10s and eights.
Three 10s.
Three of a kind wins.
'Well, done Sadie.'
Another round of drinks?
Ellie, two grand up.
Look at the smile on Sadie's face.
Jose? Hey Jose, where're you going?
Call, Ellie.
'Come on... Hold it.'
OK. All clear.
You must have a good hand.
Sadie, call.
But you only put 50...
Hey, boy, hey! Easy, easy, easy.
Hey, easy, boy, OK. OK, OK.
You take me to him...
Let's play serious.
Count me in.
I'll bet youse 150.
I'll see your 150
and I'll raise you another 100.
I'll raise you both 300.
Well, that's it. I'm out.
What have you got?
Three of a kind.
Pair of 10s.
Two pairs, 10s, kings.
Three fours.
Flush.
Well, I think I'll call it a
day while my luck's still in.
You must have ten grand there, Mum.
You been taking lessons, Sadie? Me?
No, I just make it up as I go along.
Shoo? Will you come and help me
put my winnings away somewhere safe?
That's the girl.
You for staying on, Bronius?
She's, um...
too good for me. I quit.
I think I'll call it quits. Nonsense...
we can still have an interesting game.
You, me, Mo, Ann Marie...
'Please, Ellie.'
Let's rob him rotten.
One more game then? Winner takes all.
Sadie says you're from Litho...
Lithuania. Have you ever been there?
No.
Whatever.
Are they all thieving
slimy gets like you?
You got those passports cheap.
You're joking, right? In London, we only
had to pay Fat Mandy 200 quid apiece.
That's like... What's that?
Four twos, that's... £800?
Shove it in there.
D'you think I'm, like,
gaga or something?
This is not Russia, y'know. Just
shut up, and give me the money.
Passports, or you can sod off.
Your deal.
Sorry, guys. Stakes are
getting a bit real for me.
Cheery-bye, now.
Well, well...
Takes the big boys, doesn't it?
You know, Ann Marie,
I really shouldn't be helping you but that divorce
of yours is really going to cost you, isn't it?
Well, you've got all my money anyway...
but I so wanted to whip your backside.
I could do with a drink.
What about you?
Well, something soft.
Right then,
just you and me, Ellie.
"Think R fancies me." I mean,
that is definitely Ronan.
But UE...
There's no-one with those initials on the
electoral roll either here or in Cross.
OK, maybe it doesn't stand for a name.
Uncle... Uncle!
Uncle Euan.
Nash.
Leave me alone. Go.
'Way, boy. Go.
Away, boy!
We were worried about you. Nash and me.
What you doing?
Just take him and leave me alone.
Take him or I'll jump.
If you wanna kill yourself,
there's a hundred better ways
where you won't end up in hospital
with a stomach full of seaweed.
If you don't take him, I'll
take him with me, I swear.
You'd drown your own dog cos you're too
scared to face up to your own problems?
Like stand up to your bully of a dad?
You better start talking to me, Ronan.
What the hell's going on?
I killed Billy McKenzie.
I caught him in the act.
It was him who murdered Katie.
You look worried, Mum. Me?
No, not a bit of it. I was just
going to say the same to you.
Don't you worry about me.
I'm fine and dandy.
How can you be?
Your shout.
He's all bluff.
Raise him sky high!
Raise you 200.
Hmm.
Well, I'm not seeing much of a hand
there on the table, Ellie, so...
I'll see your two...
..and I'll raise you another two...
..hundred grand.
You what?
This place is good for two
hundred grand, isn't it?
You're betting two hundred
grand against this hotel?
Yeah.
Well, in that case...
Ellie? What're you doing?
Where are you going?
'Ellie, where are you going?'
'Ellie?'
Is she winning? Hannah? Is she?
Well? What's going on? I think...
I think she's just dropped the
keys to the hotel in the pot.
She never has? Has she?
She's betting my home?
Look, can I have some quiet, please,
so I can think? We can't lose.
We've got three queens,
all he's got is ace high.
Even if the last card's another
ace, we're still quids in.
Last card.
'Ace... That's all right.'
Show me what you've got.
Ladies first.
Three of a kind.
Me too. Three aces.
He's cheated, Ellie, I
swear he only had one...
I'm rewinding the tape now.
Stop... Look... There!
We've got it on tape, Ellie. Tell him!
'Tell the bugger we can prove it!'
How the hell can I do that?
Can? You...just...did!
Don't tell me we've lost the hotel.
We can seal the deal right now.
Deal?
What's all this about? Ellie
staked the hotel, Ann Marie.
And lost. No.
You gambled the hotel?
Grief stricken, are you?
I believe you've got the deeds here,
Ellie? So, you know, I'm a lawyer,
and, Sadie, you can be a witness.
Look, can we talk about this?
There's nothing to say. I won it
fair and square. No, you didn't.
What, are you suggesting I
cheated, Sadie? Why would I do that?
I mean... every pack comes
with five aces, doesn't it?
You didn't hear me accusing you of cheating
when you were on your winning streak.
Well, maybe I should have! I've a good mind to
phone Gil Cameron right now and to hell with you.
Look, don't worry, ladies.
I'm not just going to turf you out.
You've got till the end of the month.
Will you wait... I'm
sorry we lost the hotel,
but look on the bright side. At least we've
got the money and the passports to get out now.
Aye, and leave my daughter
to the likes of him!
Celebratory drink?
I want your money,
Euan, not your company.
Hannah... What the hell?
God! What've you done? It was Bronius.
He's took the money and the
passports and he's just naffed off.
So much for your contact!
Oh, he was OK for budget vodka.
I never bought fake
passports from him before.
He told us if he sees us
again, or we go to the police,
he's gonna dob us in for
running an illegal gambling den
after he's had us knee-capped.
I tried to fight him
off, but I couldn't!
What's happened?
She fell down the cellar stairs.
Oh, babe... I'm all right,
Dean, I'm just a bit shook up.
Take her to the caravan, will you, Dean?
Look after her while we tie up something here.
Come on.
I can't live with it any more.
My dad knows.
He's tried to protect me.
I just want out the whole thing.
I've made a nightmare for everyone.
I'm evil!
Kept hoping it was just a dream...
but the more you wish and
wish you hadn't done it...
You should face up to it.
Take the manslaughter rap and
do the time. You mean murder?
There's mitigating
circumstances. Trust me.
I know what I'm talking about.
Have you ever seen the
inside of a prison cell?
You want it off your
conscience, don't you?
Just on the dotted line,
there, darling... That's it.
Oh, er... Sorry to interrupt
your private function, Ellie.
Are you still here? Some questions I need to ask
you concerning the night of Katie's murder. Me?
Is there somewhere private
that we could go? No, no,
you got any questions to
ask, you ask them here. Fine.
Evidence from Billy McKenzie's sim
card gives me reason to believe that
you had a prior engagement to meet
your niece that evening, in private.
I don't know what
you're trying to imply!
I gather, from Ina, that you didn't
come home from work straightaway.
What were you doing?
All right...
..if you really want to know.
I did have an arrangement that night,
but not with my niece, you fool.
I was meeting your
then fiancee, Ann Marie.
And, er...
very much in private.
So you know, it wasn't a
one night stand that we had.
Seeing as you insist on
rubbing your own nose in it.
Ann Marie? Do you want to
confirm what he's telling me?
I'm not confirming anything of the sort,
why should I? Look, your embittered
ex is on a personal vendetta
to implicate me in
my own niece's murder,
because he's failed to come
up with any real suspects.
Were you with him on the
night of Katie's murder?
You know...
..I'm not sure if I was.
Let me think...
It was a Thursday night, wasn't it?
This is just the start, Shoo.
I saved up some, and soon as I get another job,
we're gonna move into a flat of our own, right?
Let's just make the
most of what we got, eh?
You still got cold feet, haven't you?
I don't want you doing anything cos
you think I'm pushing you into it.
No, I'm not. OK, so what's the problem?
Why do I get the feeling
you just don't trust me?
Do you trust me?
Of course I do.
Well, that's good, cos I've
done a well bad thing for you.
A bad thing? What bad thing?
I can't tell you. But it's
because I want to be with you
that I've done it, and not
because I've got cold feet, right?
Oh, no, don't tell me Josie's got
nicked for doing him over again...
Well, I haven't got anything marked.
So, you're saying you
can't give him an alibi?
Sorry, Chief.
Ronan's got something to say. Turned up
at the station, wanted to see you, urgent.
What is it, Ronan?
I...
I done a murder.
You killed Katie?
No. Billy killed Katie.
So I killed him.
This can't be true.
What're you saying, son?
I think we'd better start
from the beginning, eh?
Katie said she was going to meet Billy.
So I followed her. I knew
they'd be at the caravan.
'I don't know what I was gonna
do. Just spoil it for 'em, maybe.
'But...they weren't there.
'I got to the side of the loch, she was
just lying there, I didn't know what to do.
'Then I saw McKenzie.'
I never done it!
'I just...'
I just saw red.
I'm gonna kill you, you've
gone too far, McKenzie!
I don't honestly know if
I meant to kill him or not.
I don't know what I was thinking...
I panicked.
I had to get rid of the body, cos, like, who
would believe me if they were both found dead?
I know what folk thought about me
being jealous, me fancying Katie.
This way, it looked as if Billy killed
Katie then done a runner. No, you're lying!
He's lying! He killed Katie,
and Billy, Billy's just gone...
Babes... No! No, he's...
He's lying! I'm not lying.
Not now. So where did
you... get rid of the body?
You dumped it in the loch, didn't you?
That's why you came home all wet!
Yeah. In the loch.
Be well gone by now.
I can't believe this...
My own son, a murderer!
Let's get him down the
station and charge him.
Billy is not dead. Dean...
Look after Nash, eh? Yeah, no worries.
I have to tell his mother.
Hey, you'd better be damn sure of your alibi,
Harries. You've still got questions to answer yourself.
So, that's it, then? Case closed?
Well, there's a few loose ends.
What? You don't think he's telling the
truth? We'll see when we drag the loch.
Drag? Yeah, well, if there is a body
in there, we'll find remains for sure.
Whoa, hey, you OK? Just squeamish...
Sorry, seriously it's, er...
Well, well, what a surprise...
Oh, this looks cosy.
Look, you've got the
wrong end of the stick.
Oh, don't worry.
No need to explain yourselves to me.
OK? I'll, er... I'll see you later.
Oh, there you are. Ells
has called a meeting.
Dean gone home to tell his mum?
You got to hope he's right...
Well, maybe Ronan is winding
everybody up. He ain't.
He's straight down the
line, Shoo. Trust me.
Poor Dean...
Stay... Stay.
Come on.
Well, that's some good news.
There's been more rain forecast for next
week than for the whole of last year.
So at least no-one'll be
hanging around the loch.
Sorry, Hannah, you're going to have
to think again. What's the matter?
They're dragging the loch
for Billy's body. Oh...
At least Dean and his
mum can bury him. True.
But Billy's body's not all they'll
find, is it? There's also Marius,
stuffed in the boot of his own car.
Oh, yeah...
First, you'd better tell me
why you need an alibi, Euan.
Let's just say I may have tried a little too
hard to keep my stupid son out of trouble.
It was a recipe for disaster his cousin
Katie coming to live with us, the little tart.
Oh, you're fond of
that word, aren't you?
The day she died, I offered
her money to leave the country.
I could see she was winding
him up into a frenzy.
But no way do I want Cameron
knowing that now, nor Ina.
Incest on top of everything else...
Ronan would never get out.
Well, there is one thing
I might do it for...
Name your price.
This place. Oh, yes.
Sign it over to me and
you've got your alibi.
Where did you dump Billy's
body? Over there somewhere.
You're not pregnant, are you?
Like I wouldn't know
if I was pregnant. No...
By the way, you'll be missing these,
Shoo must have packed them in
her bag by accident. You what?
I'm selling up, Euan.
Couldn't we work something out?
We could, if you had cash.
We started out looking for a body and
ended up finding an arm. You never did!
Severed right there and
stuffed in the boot of a car.
