YOUNG ZIGGY: 'We tried to help her.

We didn't do it!'

REPORTER: 'You detained three people

As is law in Scotland,

an arrest cannot be made

without sufficient evidence.

PC HOGG:

'Sir, how can we release them?!'

'They are still under investigation,

Janice.'

We didn't see her tonight.

We don't know her.

YOUNG ALEX: 'Didn't see her.

Don't know her.'

Rosie, that's where we'll be.

KAREN:

'You stand by your testimony?'

You saw Rosie in the pub, and then

you found her at the cathedral?

That's right.

ZIGGY SENIOR: 'I think

we need to tell them the truth.'

ALEX SENIOR:

'You started this, Ziggy.

'We stick to the story.'

I don't think I can.

Well you'd better, Ziggy.

KAREN: 'My main suspect is dead.'

I finally had something on him

after 25 years something new.

This photo of him with the victim?

I could have shown it to him,

really pressed him

and then caught him out.

Are we sure that it wasn't

an accident?

There was an eyewitness.

A dog walker that said

he saw the car swerve out of its way

and then sped up through him.

And you think this is connected

to the Rosie case?

He was k*lled right next to the

graveyard that she is buried in.

Well, YOU can take this stuff

up to m*rder Squad.

I think Road Traffic

have passed it up.

Who've they put on it?

Ah, beautiful timing!

DS Pirie, DS Parhatka.

Do you know each other?

Well, do you or don't you?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

HE CLEARS THROA

Good. Good.

Findley's got him on this, yeah?

Nice. Bit of a reunion, then?

Uh, Malkiewicz' husband's here.

I was gonna interview him, so if

if you wanted to sit in?

Yeah. Yeah, sounds good.

I'll meet you in there.

Solve the case,

avoid having sex with him again,

It's not restful.

All right, "queen of wellness".

You're having Frazzles

I can hear it. All right? Bye!

It's not just an elaborate way

to get you to talk to me.

You don't need an elaborate way

to talk to me.

You've got my number.

HE CLEARS THROA

- Paul?

- Yeah.

- Hi, DS Karen Pirie.

- Hi.

- Do you want to come this way?

- HE SNIFFS Sure.

I don't understand any of this.

If it wasn't an accident,

what happened?

We have an eyewitness

that says the driver

may have intentionally

swerved towards Ziggy,

and the location of the incident

by the graveyard

where Rosie Duff is buried.

We are investigating the possibility

that there's a connection

between the cases.

What do you mean?

Did Ziggy ever talk to you

about Rosie Duff?

PAUL EXHALES DEEPLY

AND SNIFFS

Only that it was awful.

The worst night of his life.

That he'd thought about her

every day since.

Did he ever talk to you

about the party?

Just that they went to one.

And that

he invited her and she came?

No.

Here.

I don't know

what you are getting at,

but I am not doing this.

- Not today.

- Paul

we think someone

might have k*lled Ziggy for revenge.

- Revenge for what?

- For Rosie's death.

He had nothing to do with it!

Maybe the driver knew something

that we don't.

Or maybe they knew nothing!

And maybe you and the press

and now this stupid podcast

have been telling the wrong story

for years,

and Ziggy

HE SNIFFS

my Ziggy

has paid the price for it!

Do you know what happened to him?

- Happened to him?

- Afterwards. After Rosie.

Do you know what they did to him?

- Who?

- Her brothers.

They nearly k*lled him!

I liked you, Karen.

I mean, I do like you.

I have done for ages, I just

And your way of showing me it

is giving me the cold shoulder

and talking about me

with the boys' club upstairs?

And then letting me know that

I didn't get this case on merit,

and now I've got to work it

with you.

- SHE SCOFFS

- I did say, "I'm sorry."

Only after you got a promotion

and I no longer outranked you

No, it was never about that.

We're not gonna talk about this.

We're gonna work.

OK Erm, and when we're working,

are we gonna be?

We're fine. It's fine.

- OK.

- Mainly because

I've got a new puppy, and

I don't want him to see us fighting.

Puppy?

Phil, this is DC Murray,

aka "The Mint".

Mint, this is DS Parhatka.

"Murray Mints"?

- Parhatka? Is that, erm?

- Polish, aye. Yeah, I'm half Polish.

OK, you two can go for drinks later

and do all this. The Duff brothers.

Colin and Brian Duff.

If Ziggy WAS k*lled for revenge,

these two

are the most likely suspects.

And now we know that Ziggy

was attacked by Colin in 1996

right after the m*rder.

I'll find out their movements

and interview them as soon as.

Oh, in case it helps,

I've been looking at

these old pictures

of the Lammas Bar.

All the CCTV images

are of the front entrance,

but there's another exit

round the back.

Iona left Colin in the pub

at 2.30am.

The CCTV proves

he used the front entrance at four,

but he could have left

at any point through the rear

and then come back in later on.

So his alibi

is not as strong as we thought.

You're wondering

if he's in the frame for Rosie, too?

He unsettles me, Sarge.

I think he's a psycho.

Multiple assaults

on both the brothers' records.

Rosie was scared of them.

Check in on the girl

that Brian went home with, too.

And find Iona Kaleel.

She left Colin in the pub

that night.

Phil, I'm coming

on those interviews.

That other kid quit already?

- Colin, Brian Duff, this is

- DS Parhatka, m*rder Squad.

Would you mind telling us

where you both were

yesterday evening

around eight o'clock?

I was here. Stayed late

to finish scraping the wallpaper.

Colin was gone by then, eh?

I was at The Red Lion. Why?

What's this about?

I'm investigating

the m*rder of Sigmund Malkiewicz.

He was k*lled in a hit-and-run

last night.

We also have a report of a previous

attack on Malkiewicz in 1996.

Malkiewicz never told anyone

apart from his husband.

You threw him down

the bottle dungeon of the castle

and then left him there for hours.

Would you have gone back

if your brother hadn't made you?

Look

Colin came to me

and telt me what he did,

and we pulled him out.

No harm done.

Still think we should have

left him in there to rot.

I just lost my sister. Don't want

my brother going to prison.

Aye, well, someone

needs to do something.

They just let them go.

- Shh! If the police ask

- They won't ask.

And if they do,

it's none of their business.

I didn't know how to handle it.

The grief. I just

I felt like

I needed to do something.

- Get revenge?

- I wanted him to admit what he did.

I was trying to make him talk.

- And did he?

- No.

Malkiewicz is dead now.

Even if you're right

and he did do it,

we can't ever get a confession.

That's a tragedy. For us. Really.

But it's not our fault.

Colin, your alibi for the time

of Rosie's m*rder isn't solid.

Brian's is. There was another exit

to the pub. You could've

Wait. One minute you're accusing me

of getting revenge for Rosie,

the next moment, you're saying

you're saying I m*rder*d her?

Which one is it, eh?

Why would I try and get a confession

out of that kid if I'd done it?

No. No, I'd

I'd never hurt Rosie.

I was I was broken when she died.

That's why I went after him.

We were all broken.

TV CHATTER

COLIN SOBS

AND SNIFFS

MACLENNAN: Jan? Up here.

Hi.

Have a look at this for me.

- Her diary?

- Yep.

Check out April and May.

"Cliff path. 9pm."

You think she was meeting someone

out there?

Maybe.

And then it stops in June.

- Sir?

- Aye.

DS LAWSON: Sir?

We'll have a closer look at it

later. Bag it for me up, will you?

On my way!

MACLENNAN GRUNTS

Sir, I've been looking at murders

or assaults

with similarities to Rosie.

Right.

Do you remember that incident

up in Inverurie?

- Nah.

- Minnie Maccoll?

Ah, yeah, she was stabbed

and left in the erm

- The Bass Cemetery? Yeah.

- Did they get anyone for it?

Not yet, no,

but the injuries are similar.

Cut right across the stomach,

and the cathedral

it's a Pictish site.

- The Inverurie Bass

- CAR BLEEPS

Is a Pictish site, too.

Could be some kind of

ritualistic aspect to it all.

I'll look at the file.

Nice work, kid. Keep it up, eh?

MACLENNAN GRUNTS

Murray found a fault

in Colin Duff's alibi.

He could have left the pub

that night via a second exit

and then come back later,

but I just can't square

why he'd k*ll his sister like that.

Letting her bleed out? I mean

This is why

we never focused on him or Brian

in the initial investigation.

Thing is

I can't understand

why anyone would k*ll her like that.

I read in the reports

that at one point,

you were linking it to a m*rder

in Inverurie.

- Minnie Maccoll?

- Mm, that's right.

Strangled, stomach cut open -

a very similar crime.

Only, they found who did it.

Was her boyfriend,

and he was nowhere near Fife

the night Rosie died.

It was in the press a lot, though,

wasn't it?

Crimes like that always are.

So the m*rder*r could have

heard about it?

That's possible.

Maybe that's why they cut her

like that.

Took her to the cathedral.

- To try and hang it on someone else.

- The brothers

they they were violent

but impulsive.

I don't know if they could come up

with a cover story like that.

- The students, though?

- That I would believe more.

I think the Duff brothers

are a dead end.

Are you sure?

I don't think Colin did it.

What would his motivation be?

k*ll your sister

that you're so protective over,

and then risk police attention

by throwing a kid down a dungeon

and leaving him there?

I don't think either of them

k*lled Rosie.

Looks like they didn't

k*ll Ziggy either.

Multiple witnesses

saw Brian working,

and we've got Colin

on security cameras in the pub.

- And we've gone into Malkiewicz's phone.

- Oh, yeah?

I can see from texts

he met with Alex Gilbey

and Tom Mackie

at Alex's house yesterday.

Paul said they weren't close

any more.

After Ziggy left, Weird called him

over and over again.

10, 12 times.

I spoke to the university

where he works

and he hasn't shown up today.

'Mr Mackie,

it's DS Phil Parhatka again.

'If you could call me back.'

PHONE RINGS

SIGHS Come on.

KAREN: Iona Kaleel?

Detective?

Yeah, I got your message.

Is now a good time to talk?

What was Rosie like?

Tough. Really sharp.

She could handle herself,

in a pub full

of beer-swilling blokes.

She would laugh

if she could see me now,

still stacking a glass-washer,

20-something years later.

Hm.

What was her state of mind like

on that night?

Happy. She was seeing someone.

She had that funny, kind of in-love thing

where you can't stop smiling to yourself

Right

- so there was no break-up?

- No.

The original investigation

looked at her diaries.

She'd written

that she was meeting someone

and that seemed to have stopped,

then she wrote a couple of times

she hated someone,

they wouldn't leave her alone.

No. Whoever she was seeing -

that was going well.

And she never told you who it was?

No. She told me nothing.

So how did you know

there was someone?

She snuck out early sometimes,

left me to clean up and lock up.

She'd come back later,

and I'd give her a lift home.

Whole time, she never told me

who it was she was meeting.

Do you recognise any of these men?

FAINTLY: Yeah.

They found her, right?

Or were found with her.

We all knew about them. Word spread.

Had you seen them

around the pub before that?

Yeah.

This one, I served a lot.

He was always in there?

Yeah, and Rosie'd try

and shrug him off onto me.

- Why?

- He was quite intense.

- Fancied her?

- Yeah.

He could've been who

she was writing about.

WEIRD: There's that girl

who does French

- with the boobs and the hair.

- She wants Ziggy so bad.

I've seen her looking,

tongue wagging.

She's more than boobs

and hair, Weird.

- I said she does French!

- I think her name's Evelyn.

- Both of you, piss off!

- All right, fine.

- I hate when he does that to me.

- You just have to ignore him.

What, ignore the screaming madman

I've somehow made my best friend?

You've got me, too.

- Yeah, but you just encourage him.

- Oh, come on.

He's like a whirlwind.

You get swept up, no choice.

No, no, you like it.

You like how wild he is.

TYRES SCREECH

- Come on, boys!

- Whose is that?

Come on. Get in!

This feels ill*gal.

Professor Batt gave me another

bad mark, so I stole his keys.

But I'm just borrowing it!

Come on!

- You're putting it back, yeah?

- Yeah!

See! You just encourage him!

Here, p*ssy, p*ssy, p*ssy, p*ssy.

- Here, p*ssy, p*ssy.

- Stop it.

PHONE BUZZES

Tom "Weird" Mackie.

Where did the nickname come from?

I think it just does what it says

on the tin.

Let's look at the evidence

against him.

First and foremost

the car.

FORENSIC OFFICER:

Got something here, sir.

LAWSON: Sir, they've found a long,

dark hair on the passenger seat.

MACLENNAN: Send it for tests.

WEIRD: Do you reckon he's moved it?

Why hasn't he called us yet?

- He must have moved it by now.

- He'll call us.

- But what if they find

- He's probably on his way back.

- We're so screwed.

- BUZZER

See, that's probably him now.

It's the police for you, Weird.

KAREN: The keys were left in the

ignition, and the steering wheel

and the gear stick were all covered

in his fingerprints.

And there was a long, dark hair

found in the front seat.

Rosie's?

Possibly.

The hair didn't have a root,

so they couldn't pull

a DNA profile from it

because, you know,

it was the dark ages.

- But we can do that now, right?

- Maybe.

One hair isn't really enough,

but we should try.

And look at this.

- Tom's detained again.

- MACLENNAN: 'Here we go again, Tom.'

And his story changes this time,

now he's been caught out.

His timeline goes from pub, party,

cathedral, to this.

I didn't steal it! I know the guy,

he likes me, I was just

I was just messing about.

So you drove the car

from the university to the party.

Did you go anywhere else in it?

Er no.

Time to tell the truth, Tom.

I just I can't remember much.

Well, how did it end up

at the other end of town?

I was trying to drive it home, but

I was trying to drive us home,

and I thought that maybe

I'd be over the limit, so I, erm

we just got out and walked.

OK,

that's what you're going for, eh?

That's your story?

HE SIGHS

We found this in the car, Tom.

Now that looks like one of

Rosie's hairs, doesn't it?

No! No, no That's, erm

that's Dorothy's.

Dorothy! Right.

I was wondering

when she was gonna come up.

Because we've spoken to her,

you know.

Yeah sorry, I remember now.

Oh, NOW you remember?!

I drove her home I think.

Why didn't you tell us that

from the beginning, Tom?

Sorry. That whole night's a mess

in my head.

So you drive Dorothy home,

then what?

I tried to go back

to the party, but

I couldn't see straight, so, er

I just got out and walked.

So you didn't try to drive yourself

and the boys home?

I am getting sick and tired

of your lies, Tom.

Why does he lie?

Why is he so inconsistent?

Maybe the drugs?

Maybe he genuinely doesn't remember.

Or something happened here.

Something he is desperately

trying to hide.

So we need to find Dorothy,

see if she stands by her story.

Cos if he's with her from 2:30

to, what, 3:30, 4:00,

then he probably didn't have time

to k*ll Rosie.

Right.

She was his alibi.

And was there any real interaction

between him and Rosie anyway?

Could she have been in that car

with him?

I think if we test that hair,

we can find out.

That's me going

to the evidence warehouse, isn't it?

Yeah.

That place is creepy.

You're a big boy.

They can't pull anything

from the hair

aside from colour and texture.

You don't need to be a scientist

to figure that out, for God's sake!

Drugged-out teenage oiks,

lying constantly,

making a complete hash

out of everything

and yet there's not one scrap of

physical evidence to tie them to it?

- How is that possible? Eh?

- I know, sir, I know.

Feels like every day that passes,

we just get further

and further away.

- Hello. How're you doing?

- Oh, you know.

Looks like the thermostat

in Warehouse D's on the blink,

so everyone's on my t*ts,

thinking all the evidence

is gonna degrade.

We're in Scotland.

It's not exactly gonna melt

before the maintenance man

gets here, is it?

Honestly. This job.

Nothing ever happens, ever.

But if something does happen,

everyone's

On your t*ts.

Yup.

- My t*ts sympathise.

- SHE LAUGHS

What do you want, then?

Rosie Duff m*rder case, 1996.

Let me get someone to cover the desk

and I'll take you through.

- The thermostat's OK in here, right?

- Don't start.

Here we go.

Fife Police, '90 to '99.

Get the switch.

They're alphabetical,

so it should be under D.

There you go. 11 boxes, it says.

Can call one of my henchmen

if you need a hand.

But you seem to have it

under control.

PHIL: 'Good news -

'we think we've got the car

that hit Malkiewicz on CCTV.'

Great.

'Passing through Pitscottie

just after the m*rder.'

Did you manage to get

a number plate?

'That's the bad news.

'The plates are

totally caked up with mud.

- 'Can't get anything from it.'

- Jesus! You serious?

'I got the make and model -

it's a silver Corsa.'

And how many silver Corsas are there

in Scotland? Shite!

'I'm checking if Alex Gilbey

or Tom Mackie have one'

BEEPING '..or access to one.'

I've got another call coming

through, I've gotta go.

Later.

Mint.

How are you feeling right now?

'Like, what kind of mood?'

Six out of ten. Low-level pissed.

Right OK.

What is it, Mint?

Mmm Well, we've got the hair.

That's here.

'Right, well'

- send that off for tests.

- Yeah, we will.

Erm, it's just there are supposed

to be 11 boxes of evidence

- 'Right'

- but there's only ten.

What box is missing?

Er Rosie's clothes?

What?! All of her clothes?

- The lady who works here

- what's it that do you do?

FURIOUSLY: 'It doesn't frickin'

matter, Mint!'

Well, she says that

it's happened before,

- 'mostly they turn up sometimes'

- Find it, Mint.

I'll have to go through

every box in here

- I said, FIND IT!

- CALL CUTS OFF

SHE YELLS

SHE YELLS AGAIN

KAREN: OK, so

there are three men in Rosie's life

that we don't know

the identity of.

RIVER: The one that she was seeing.

- The one that was pestering her.

- Who could have been Weird?

And the father of her child.

And any and all of them

could be the same man.

PAINED: Oh, my God.

I have done you

a huge favour.

- That stuff cost £4.

- I've had it before.

Not the wine.

I texted Rob.

The What's My Heritage guy.

Do you understand the b*llet

I am taking for you?

The sexting has started again.

He's trying to drag me back in.

I cannot wait to meet him.

You geeks really go for it,

don't you?

Excuse me, you wear a bum bag.

OK, what did he say?

About the case.

Well, you kind of owe

the podcast lady, actually,

because he's listened to it,

he loves it, and he wants to help.

Great. What do I need to do?

I'll intro you, go and see him.

Hopefully, he'll run

Rosie's DNA through the database

and if there is a match

for a child

and can trace the father

then we have Rosie's ex.

- You might get nothing.

- No, I know. I know.

But it's worth a try.

Right, but do it soon

so I can block his number.

Sure you wanna do that?

I will do it tomorrow.

- You found it yet?

- No.

I don't get it

Does stuff go missing a lot?

No never.

Right. Got you.

So

I'm fighting a losing battle here?

No. Keep looking.

ROB: Karen? Rob Driscoll.

- So nice to meet you.

- Ahhh!

- So you're friends with River.

- Yeah, River.

- Great girl.

- Mm. I'm a big fan.

Yeah

- Shall we?

- Mm!

This is a signed declaration that

I won't use any of the information

you give me in court,

under any circumstances.

Mmm. And if you do, I'll sue you?

Well, ideally,

you sue the police.

And, er if I give you a name

will you contact them?

I won't implicate you

or the site in any way.

I just need a pointer in the right

direction. I can do the rest.

This sequence

could help us find a m*rder*r.

Someone who strangled

a 19-year-old girl,

cut her stomach open

and left her to die in a graveyard,

very slowly.

We've been looking for them

for 25 years.

ALEX SENIOR: She's so beautiful.

Only took 25 years, eh?

Doesn't matter.

Nothing matters except for this.

I know he's a nightmare

most of the time,

but it's moments like this I think,

"Thank God

for my stupid brother."

Because he gave me you.

BABY CRIES

Don't do it.

Thought it'd make me feel better.

I can help with that.

I know Weird doesn't like me

talking to you

so I'm taking this opportunity,

whilst he's in police custody

to see how you are.

How I am?

Well, he's being questioned again,

which means I'm probably next.

You'll be OK.

He didn't

do something did he?

What do you mean?

Get you all into this?

We both know he's a liability.

Does the name Galloway

make sense to you?

Galloway

The person who this

sequence belongs to

Rosie.

does have a match

on the database.

A child.

Date of birth 16th August 1993.

Is there any family on

the father's side?

No. Not on here.

What's their name?

Grace.

Grace Galloway.

Rosie's daughter.

He's just through here.

Trust you to catch me

on a break.

It's OK, I know you're on it.

I was gonna bring you

some doughnuts, but

I've only ever seen

you eat pure protein.

Doughnuts would have been fine.

This place has changed me.

No luck, then, I take it?

No. Nothing.

Kirstie, lady at the desk, said

when the Scottish Police Service

was formed,

all the old evidence

was centralised here.

Before then, every station stored

their own evidence.

They had to bring it over

in truckloads, so

- some of it did go

- Missing.

- This cannot get out.

- Aye.

The podcast lady'll get us good.

Right, OK.

Let's see what else we have.

Have you got Weird's clothes

from the night of?

Yeah. Let me see.

So how are you getting on, then,

have you solved it yet?

Yeah. Yeah, it's done.

I should have told you that.

- I can't find Dorothy.

- Oh, really?

I don't know where she's hiding.

She could have changed her name,

moved away.

Well, you found Rosie's daughter.

I believe in you.

You should probably pretend

that you don't know about that.

I don't wanna make you complicit.

I'm good at playing dumb.

- Ha-ha, it's all an act, is it?

- What d'you mean?

What are you gonna do, though?

I reckon I meet her

Tell the bosses later.

And what if this girl

doesn't know her mum's dead?

Yeah

that is the tricky thing.

I'm hoping that if you're

curious enough about your background

to use an ancestry site

that you might have tried

to already trace your birth parents.

There are two cardigans here.

I don't want to be the one

to break that news.

Sarge,

there are two cardigans here,

in Weird's box of clothes.

It's Rosie's. This one's Rosie's.

It must have been misfiled.

Oh, my God.

We have something of hers.

- I'd given up all hope.

- Send them for tests.

- Which tests?

- The tests! All of the tests!

- And send Weird's clothes, too?

- Yes! Send them all.

Oh, I'm gonna hug you now, Mint!

Hi. We spoke on the phone.

DS Karen Pirie.

Grace.

- Do you live here alone?

- Yep.

It was my parents', obviously.

But my mum died last year,

and my dad's in a care home now.

I'm sorry.

I'll probably sell it

at some point, but

at the moment,

it just doesn't feel right.

Ah

Grace

I hope you don't mind me asking

you were adopted as a baby?

I know

about her

if that's what this is about?

Yeah. It is.

SHE SIGHS

I found out last year.

I didn't know if I wanted to know

who she was

or who my birthfather was because

they obviously didn't want me.

And I didn't want my mum to think I

didn't see her as my mum, you know.

Mm.

But then, when she died

and I felt

alone.

I'm not close with my dad -

he's, erm

I don't think

he ever really wanted me either.

Anyway, I got in touch

with Child Services,

and they told me

that my birth mother was m*rder*d.

Again, I'm so sorry.

Well, you haven't been the greatest,

have you?

The police.

I really want to get justice

for her, Grace.

How are you going to do that?

We're still in the early stages.

We're looking at all the evidence

again with new technology.

You're next of kin - I can keep you

as updated as you like.

Yeah. Do.

Did you ever find out anything

about your birth father?

They didn't have any information

about him.

Why?

Do you know anything about him?

No. No, nothing.

So

you're asking me because

SHE SIGHS DEEPLY

you think he might have

k*lled her?

I don't know.

But it feels like something

we should look into

with your permission.

So you'll try and find him?

We can take a DNA sample from you

and put into our system

and see if there's a familial match.

If he's ever been processed

by the police, then he'll be on it.

Right. A sample.

And you want to do that now?

No, no,

you can come down to the station,

or I can send someone up here.

I really think it's worth a try.

If we don't find anything,

then there's no

I'll come in.

Great.

Good.

Sir, sir. You wanted to see me.

COLIN SENIOR: 'No, no,

I don't trust them at all

'I think they've reopened the case

in name only,

'to look like

they're doing something.

'Instead of focussing on the people

we know were involved,

'they've been throwing out accusations,

'insulting accusations

at us - her family.'

Made a good impression, then?

Sir, I

This is exactly what we DIDN'T want

to happen.

We reopened the case

to support the Duff family,

to limit the damage of the podcast.

I was following a lead I had

at the time.

- Ah! Good lead, was it?

- No.

But I have made progress elsewhere.

Go on.

I've found Rosie Duff's daughter.

She's willing to take a DNA test,

so I can trace the father.

We did not approve

an application to Child Services.

I went a different route.

A different route?

A genetic genealogy site.

They gave access,

I signed a waiver saying we wouldn't

use their data evidentially.

This is I

I don't even know

if I have the words

I just needed a pointer

in the right direction.

You have sabotaged this case

so profoundly!

I honestly don't think I have.

I am in one mind to take you

off it completely.

There was every chance that she

didn't know who her mother was.

- But she did.

- And every chance

that she might not

even have wanted to know.

- But she did.

- And every chance that you,

DS Pirie,

could have ruined her life.

Thank you, Simon.

I agree with everything

DI Lees has said.

You shouldn't have gone against

our orders.

But

I do understand why you did.

This is your first m*rder case.

You're learning the ropes. Just

run everything by us from now on.

Should have been doing that anyway.

Won't happen again, sir.

Mint.

What was my nickname?

- What?

- When I got the job.

You said I had a nickname,

what was it?

- That was someone else

- I know it wasn't.

Tell me what it was.

Dolly bird?

- No!

- Sugar t*ts?

No! No.

Token woman?

Ticker.

- What?

- As in box.

- Box ticker?

- It was just banter.

Some of the guys in the office

wanted the job,

I guess they were butt-hurt.

They thought you got it because

Hopefully, my final form.

Hmph. It's OK, I'm here now.

You want to talk about that night.

I'm glad.

- You are?

- I've been following the podcast.

It's made me look back

at things differently.

There's things I should have said

a long time ago.

Things I didn't think would

make a difference back then.

Go on.

I told the police

that I was with Weird all night.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

SHE WHOOPS

SHE LAUGHS

We went to meet a dealer.

Weird wanted to get some acid

and go to the cathedral.

- Cathedral?

- I know.

This dealer was some bloke in a car

park on the other side of town.

When we got there, Weird realised

he didn't have any money on him,

so he asked me to pay for it.

I said no - not for all of it -

it wasn't all for me.

We had an argument

he flipped out.

And I got out the car.

And what time was this?

Three-ish, maybe.

This isn't what you told the police.

No.

Why did you lie?

I was scared.

My parents are very religious

quite uptight.

I didn't want to tell the police

that I'd taken drugs,

walked home by myself,

same night a girl got k*lled.

I was worried they would find out.

So the last time you saw him

was where?

In a car park over at Brownhills.

And that was at three.

And you told the police

you were with him until when?

Three-thirty, four?

He was out alone

in St Andrews for perhaps

an hour, right around the time

Rosie was k*lled.

I know. I should have

said something sooner.

Yeah. Yeah, you should.

Weird's alibi for the night of

Rosie's death no longer stands up.

The witness has changed her story.

There's a whole stretch of time

where he was out in St Andrews

by himself,

doing God knows what.

PHIL: 'Alex Gilbey's been

in contact.

'He's ready to talk.

Do you want in?'

Yeah. Course I want in.

Whatever Weird's done,

Alex will know about it.

Alex We haven't been able

to get hold of Tom Mackie.

He's, erm not been very well.

His mental health was never good,

but it's taken a turn

for the worse recently.

We understand you met with him

and Ziggy just before Ziggy died.

- Here.

- What'd you talk about?

Just

wanted to see each other.

In light of

all this starting again.

You spoke about the case?

We, erm

talked about how hard

it would be,

all the attention it would bring.

We know Rosie was at the party, Alex.

It shows that he lied at the time

and lied right up until

the day he died.

Who was she there to see?

I don't know.

Was it Weird?

- It could have been.

- Cos he fancied her, didn't he?

Weird fancied everyone.

He often tried to get her attention.

He tried to get

everyone's attention.

Cos I spoke to Dorothy,

the girl Weird left the party with.

She's changed her story.

She lied to the police before.

She wasn't with Weird all night.

He was out and about by himself

for around an hour,

just at the time Rosie was k*lled.

When did you next see Weird

that night?

THUMPING BEA

SHOUTING: Weird?!

Where have you been?

I had to help walk him home.

Through the cathedral?

Why did you go that way?

I don't know. He wanted to.

He wanted you

to go through the cathedral?

Why do you think

he'd want you to do that?

I can't remember.

Maybe it was to ascertain

whether he'd just imagined

what had happened with Rosie,

or if it was real.

No. Maybe he's had you fooled

all these years, too.

Maybe Ziggy knew.

Maybe that's why Ziggy's dead now.

He couldn't hold the secret

any longer

and Weird k*lled him for it.

WHISPERED: No.

Did you ever see him have

a bad trip?

Yes.

Did he ever get violent

when he was on drugs?

- Once or twice.

- What happened?

He, er

he got paranoid.

Started seeing things.

Seeing things?

Things that weren't there.

And what would happen then?

He'd get scared

think that

they were attacking him.

Sarge, it's Rosie's.

Rosie's hair was on the front seat.

Rosie was in the car with Weird

that night.

Weird's called Glasgow police.

He's had a break-in.

running away from the house.

Right. Male, female?

I'm not sure, it was quick.

And the key to the back door

has gone.

I'll get the locks changed,

but I want to know who it was.

- I think someone's been following me.

- In your car? Or in person?

Car.

Where and when you were followed?

It was the day before yesterday

on the way home from the university.

Did you catch sight of the car?

Medium-sized, black.

Maybe a Peugeot?

I didn't quite catch it.

What made you think

it was following you?

It was behind me

for the whole journey

and then it pulled up on my street.

It was following me.

Right.

Is there a reason

someone would follow you?

Where were you three nights ago,

Mr Mackie?

I was here on my own.

That was the night

of Ziggy's accident.

I was here when I heard about it,

I heard from Alex.

Paul called him.

You got any way

of corroborating that?

I didn't

I didn't k*ll Ziggy.

I didn't k*ll my friend.

Mr Mackie

I'm investigating

the Rosie Duff case.

No.

We think that the two deaths

might be related.

- No.

- Mr Mackie,

we have new forensics that challenge

the veracity of your story.

I will not talk about Rosie.

I will not talk about her.

Well, if that is the case,

will you at least tell us why?

What're you talking about?

He should've been suspended.

At least until we know the truth.

Know the truth?

It's got nothing to do with you.

Now, Tom, let me handle this.

Nah, we went to a party.

Just like you all do -

we went, and we got drunk,

and as we were walking home

we tried to help a girl.

We tried to SAVE her!

- Nah, you can all do one!

- Tom

You can piss off.

- Tom!

- And so can you.

DR MACLEOD: Tom

I think you should take this period

to concentrate on yourself,

straighten out the legal issues

you're facing

I don't have any legal issues.

It's just a term.

Take the term.

If Professor Batt is so mad at me

for borrowing his car,

why did he not press charges, eh?

Professor Batt doesn't want you

to have a criminal record.

He thinks you have

a very bright future.

But he also thinks

that you should learn from this.

There needs to be some consequences.

You don't think I'm feeling

some consequences?

I'm not saying anything.

Tom Mackie. Since you won't

co-operate with us,

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you

to report to the station tomorrow

so we can interview you

under caution

about the m*rder of Rosie Duff.

You have the right to a solicitor

during the interview.

You can call one, or just let us

know, we can provide one for you.

Get out my house.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

You cannot put that in your podcast.

You cannot write about it,

I won't.

keeping their identities a secret

- Of course I do

- A man is dead, Bel.

Of course, now he's deceased,

I can name him. Legally.

If you want any co-operation

from the police at all,

you will ensure the offending posts

are taken down,

you will issue an update

never to identify suspects online and

you will start to show us

some respect.

Have they been of use?

so much

I've been thinking about putting

a call out for witnesses.

Yes. And I want you to use it.

He's weighed down by something.

You can see it in him.
