RAY: 'I change my mind constantly

about the nature of evil.

'Sometimes I believe it's in us all.

'Other times, I think it's put there

'by the hellish dystopia

we've created.

'But I do know one thing -

'it's a preserve of the weak

and the stupid.'

So

Gareth Horsburgh, a divorced

civil servant from Leeds.

Makes it sound even less glamorous

than it is!

Where is she?

HE CHUCKLES

The game has begun, Raymond Lennox.

She's too young,

she doesn't fit your profile.

You snatched her

because you want something.

'What? I'll give you it.'

Yeah, I want certain things.

Go on.

Pipe and baccy.

I like a good shag, me.

But I like that Dorset tea.

'From Waitrose.

'And proper grub.'

Stuff from Pret. Organic.

Anything else?

I need you, Ray Lennox.

Amanda, fetch us the stuff

on that list.

Bring us a couple of teas first.

DS Drummond

leaving the interview room.

DOOR CLOSES

Really, Lennox, treating

a female employee like a tea girl.

Your behaviour towards women

really leaves a lot to be desired.

Nice notepad.

You like those, do you?

Not as much as I like girls.

So much, you m*rder them.

Toys break easily.

# The island of my dreams

# My little stranger on the shore. #

I'm not playing games. You'll play

whatever f*cking games I say

if you wanna see

that little b*tch alive.

If she dies,

it does neither of us any good!

You're wrong, Ray. I lose nothing

if she dies, but you

All those islands, Ray.

Think.

Inchkeith, Inchmickery,

Inchgarvie, Inchcolm,

but you might look

a little closer to home.

If you can't work that out,

her death's on you.

Is it me or a lassie out there?

I think I know where she is!

Stu, I need to borrow your bike.

Give me the keys, give me the keys!

SHE SCREAMS

Organisations fascinate me.

The substantive irrationality

of a bureaucracy

founded on eminently

rational procedures.

The Department Of Transport

were very like that.

What about the police force?

SHE COUGHS

So where were you on the morning

of Thursday 29th April?

A lad who should be a dynamic

young g*n, but who somehow is not.

Lack of ability never stopped anyone

getting on in an organisation,

but a lack of confidence

Such a fatal flaw

in this day and age.

Well, ta for the careers advice.

Now, back to

You've not had much experience

with women.

Well a bit unlucky

in that department.

Just been career-focused.

Luck doesn't even come into it.

The heavy hand across the face,

makes 'em see stars

SHE CLEARS HER THROA

Too dizzy to say no.

That's how I started out.

DS Drummond, now I read you

as a different animal altogether.

Ambitious. Dynamic.

A young lady who understands

that workplace politics

are built on shifting sands.

Alas, McCorkel, this perceptiveness

is beyond you

..but this lass

will know when to make her move.

It will be satisfying, will it not,

to finally gain

a measure of revenge

on all those patronising voices?

To drink their salivating

pack-beast fear

as you become the mistress

who wields the big stick.

An exciting thought,

Amanda Drummond.

Kylie!

DISTRESSED GROANS

Kylie!

MUFFLED SCREAMS

Kylie!

MUFFLED SCREAMS

Kylie!

MUFFLED WAILS

Kylie!

MUFFLED GROANS

Hey, hey, hey.

There you go.

You're OK.

Let's get these off your wrists, OK?

Bad man's gone away, eh?

HE GRUNTS

SHE GROANS

OK.

Are you OK to put your?

Right, come on.

Give me your hand.

Back to your mammy's, eh?

Back to your mammy's, all right?

Bad man's gone away.

Bad man's gone away.

'Emergency Services.'

Coastguard Services.

'Who's calling?'

DI Ray Lennox, Lothian Police.

'I'll put you through.'

Lennox must have that lass by now.

Or maybe not!

HE CHUCKLES

Tell me, would you

..sleep with him to get on?

You see things in very sexual terms.

Did you have a satisfactory sexual

relationship with your ex-wife?

Alas

marriage tends to do a sex life

no favours.

Work

now, that's a different matter, no?

He'll play mind games all day long.

I'd just steam right in

and cut off his air supply.

He kens that concentrates the mind.

HE EXHALES

HE SNIFFS,

THEN EXHALES

Tell me about your understanding

of attraction.

Are you aroused by young women,

little more than children?

Or is it a power thing?

Men who are into sex with children

often have very small penises.

Is this based on your

empirical research?

'Ey up, Lennox!

DS Drummond and I were just

talking about small penises,

and somehow your name came up!

Ooh, looks like

a nerve were touched!

Gareth Horsburgh, I'm arresting you

for the abduction and the

attempted m*rder of Kylie Jones.

'You do not

have to say anything'

I knew Ray would pull this off.

'..and may be used as evidence.'

You are entitled to have

a lawyer present. I disdain lawyers.

Besides, we're just

getting to know each other!

So, how was the feisty little tyke?

Who cares? She was just bait.

You wanted me, you got me. Why?

To see if you're the one

to tell my story to.

My work's a f*cking Picasso.

It's time, the world needs to know.

I've been at this a while

and I ain't spilling to just anyone.

So why don't you

tell me about yourself?

Give me something first.

I gave you that f*cking kid!

Something connecting you

to past cases.

You need to know

if I'm the real deal,

I need to know the same.

HORSBURGH SIGHS

The Lloyd girl.

Hazel.

She were one of mine.

Where is she?

HORSBURGH CHUCKLES

No

KNOCK AT DOOR

Come in.

Hi.

Right, I've done something terrible.

Yeah.

Yeah, you have.

What do you know?

Who else knows?

I imagine quite a lot of people.

Right.

Right.

I f*cked up.

I f*cked up.

You made a mistake. Yeah.

Yeah.

It happens.

But Carly

..that is was so wrong.

It was Mark.

You do see what's happening here,

don't you?

It's always the woman.

It's always the woman.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no. No. No.

Estelle, you do not get

to play the victim here.

Do you understand? Carly is young,

you are both her senior.

It is bullying and it is sexual

harassment at its very worst.

It was

It was like a joke at first.

It was

It was a joke? It got out of hand

with Mark, he became obsessed.

He became

Trudi, he became obsessed.

Just have some dignity.

Own it!

I thought we were friends.

We were.

Until you became an enabler

of a sexually a*usive man.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I am not.

I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to, Trudi.

Gareth Horsburgh.

Charged with the abduction and

the attempted m*rder of Kylie Jones.

Has admitted

to snatching Hazel Lloyd,

but won't tell us where the body is.

And when forensics come back

with the fibres from that parka,

we'll fit him for Britney, too.

'This is a multiple m*rder*r,

the k*ller of Britney.'

And we'll also find

Stacey Earnshaw,

Nula Andrews, Claire Gorman.

And maybe Juliet Roe,

Alison Sturbridge,

Fiona Martin, Madeline Parish,

Francesca Allen,

Valenta Rossi.

The real challenge is finding out

the extent of his killings,

potentially stretching back

20 years.

'There are unsolved

missing person cases

'where the families have been

living in t*rture for years.

'Not knowing

what happened to their kids.'

Every day a torment.

A prison of uncertainty.

'We must set those people free.

Until they are, we are not done.'

And as long as he hates lawyers,

we will keep at him!

As long as he is confined here,

we will pull apart every aspect

of Horsburgh's life.

And we will come

to know everything.

Not about Gareth Horsburgh, but

about the sick, short-eyes nonce

we know as Mr Confectioner.

And what do we do with those weeds?

We pull the f*cking b*stards up.

MOBILE PINGS

JOHN LENNOX: 'How many times

have we been through this, Avril?'

'Well, I'll need to talk

to the lawyers.'

I see, right.

You do what you have to do.

Good to see you, son.

All right, Dad?

Thanks for coming.

I know how busy you are.

Busy doesn't cover it.

Here's to us. Wha's like us.

You OK?

Your mother's been sleeping with

Jock Allardyce for 30-odd years.

What the f*ck?! Your best mate?

The-The-The f*ck' railways!

Do you know

how long it's been since we

..you know?

HE EXHALES

Is it the heart?

The-The-The medication?

Aye, thins the blood.

You can't get it up.

Viagra's a no-go.

Too dangerous for my condition.

I mean, how the hell

could she do that to you

w-w-with your best mate?

Well

She has her needs.

I can't meet them.

She's moved out.

They're off on holiday now.

I won't stand in their way.

Is that all you can say?

I thought I'd get a bit more

sympathy from you, son.

You understand people.

Listen.

You talk to Stuart

about this sad drama, I'm a cop.

And I need to get back to work.

BUZZER CHIMES

Hello?

AMERICAN ACCENT: 'Hi,

I'm Stuart Lennox from the agency.'

Come on up, door's open.

Coo-ee!

HE EXHALES

Hey.

I'm Stuart.

Were you not in River City?

Aye, me and every other actor

in "Scatlind"!

SCOTTISH ACCENT:

Anyway, I take directions,

so what do you guys

want me to do?

You do me while fellating Bill,

and at the same time

I'm licking his dangling ba*ls.

Sounds fun.

Here he is.

He's not gonna be pleased.

Ray.

We got the forensics back

on the parka.

Thank God for that.

No. The fibres don't match.

f*ck!

We'll keep at it,

keep working on his movements.

Gill?

Pays in cash for everything.

Doesn't have

a mobile phone contract.

So far, there's no evidence

linking him to the disappearances

of any of these girls.

He's like a ghost.

Stuart's been talking

to Yorkshire Police.

They're pulling his life apart.

Well, keep at it.

He's gotta have messed up somewhere.

I I need to talk to him again.

Right, Stuart, let's get onto

his employer again.

So you got rid of the parka?

They're easy to find, them.

Did you k*ll Britney Hamil?

Ooh.

Little Britney Hamil.

Er

I struggle to recall.

I don't think so.

Yes!

No.

I don't know.

Did it hurt having Ellis ascribed

as the author of your work?

For k*lling Stacey and Nula.

I was dismayed that folks

could think such a bloody yob

could have planned and ex*cuted

such an operation.

Why'd you come forward now,

this precise moment?

Oh, Lennox, come on.

You, more than anyone,

should understand.

Timing timing is all.

But I can tell, by the burning

desire in your eyes,

that now is my time.

It was always about the legacy.

So, tell me

..who did you k*ll?

How many?

Mm. All in good time, young man.

You tell me first.

Tell me about your relationship

with your mam.

Any Oedipal desires?

Ray.

He's playing us.

Yeah.

Do you ever get used to it, Ray

..those feelings of horror?

No.

Those feelings mean

you haven't lost your humanity.

Yeah, but there's

There's gotta be

some kinda relief eventually.

HE CHUCKLES

I'm no gonna lie to you.

If there is, I haven't found out.

Thank you.

So, are you gonna join us?

I try not to mix business

with pleasure.

See yous later, girls.

Aye, right.

Will it be your arse next week?

WOMAN: Yeah, in your f*cking dreams.

SHUTTER CLICKS

You know the food's

supposed to be savoured?

What's that?

MOBILE PHONE PINGS

WHISPERS: f*ck's sake.

Are you OK?

I'm worried about you.

Are you drinking again?

Or using?

No. Why?

Because it's like

you're not even here.

I'm up to my neck in this!

So do I need to become a m*rder*r

or a coke dealer

to get your undivided attention?

Is that it?

It's not the f*cking gas board!

That's right.

You belittle me and my career,

you f*cking prick!

You have no idea, the things that

are going on with me at the moment.

No idea!

You can't even be bothered

to argue with me!

There's nothing to argue about.

Ray

I listened to you!

When you told me that it was

important to be right,

even if it jeopardised

your own career, I listened to you!

It is!

What the f*ck

do you think I'm doing now?!

You f*cking entitled,

arrogant prick.

Right, f*ck off back to work!

Yeah, go on, f*ck off back!

I am trying

I am trying

to find the bodies of girls,

young girls, k*lled by a real

arrogant, entitled prick!

Yeah, course you are. Right.

So, go on, then.

Carry on. f*ck off!

You know, your own behaviour towards

women leaves a lot to be desired!

What did you just say?!

I said that you are no saviour.

You preach to the bloomin' choir!

What

What I am saying is,

you've gotta stop

with this whole messiah thing

that you have got going on.

I know that your job is distressing

and I am on your side.

But you can't save the world.

HE SNIFFS

I know.

HE SNIFFS

But one wee girl,

why couldn't I save her?

Oh, God, Ray! f*ck' hell!

I thought that I knew

what I was getting into with you.

But I was naive.

I do love you.

You know I do.

I have to go.

You will never save anyone else

if you can't save yourself first.

MOBILE PHONE PINGS

HE SNIFFS

f*ck!

HE COUGHS,

THEN SNIFFS

HE EXHALES

HE SNIFFS

HE SNIFFS

HE MUMBLES QUIETLY:

"He's a mass m*rder*r,

"but that isn't his main motivation.

"He is involved in a game.

Not just for the police,

"but what he sees as the entire

oppressive state apparatus."

MOBILE RINGS

Ray!

Baxter.

Can you meet me in my office,

half-eleven?

Of course. I'll see you then.

Get Confectioner to sign that.

Come on to f*ck, Bob.

There's no way he could have done,

er, Megan Carter,

that was a completely different MO!

Dorothy Henderson,

I mean, that was a tragedy,

but that was the wee lassie

that f*ck' drowned.

He wants notoriety,

we want to clean up,

the families want peace of mind.

Everyone's a winner.

But it's a lie.

They deserve the truth.

I won't let this prick,

as odious as he is,

be used as a dustbin

for every unsolved crime!

Who do you think you are? I'm

the f*cking investigating officer!

For now!

You are hanging on

by a ball hair, Lennox.

Boss, if it's not me, it's gonna be

the lawyer. You heard him.

Playing his game saved Kylie's life.

Whatever you uncover, you uncover.

But he will sign

that f*cking statement.

Thanks for coming in, Baxter.

It is my most exquisite pleasure.

I was very glad to assist

in the capture of Graham Cornell.

He's no longer with us

at the Scottish Office,

but of course I wish him well.

Now, how may I be of service,

DI Lennox?

Er, it's about your book.

I'm intrigued by your villain.

Conrad Warburton?

Aye.

Check this.

HORSBURGH:

'Organisations fascinate me.

'The substantive irrationality

of a bureaucracy

'founded on eminently

rational procedures.

'The Department Of Transport

were very like that.'

What's your reading of this guy?

You're asking me?

Well, like Warburton,

he wants a rationalist world.

One where bureaucracy brings order,

to spare us the chaos

of modern life.

Yes. Yes!

That is definitely his mindset.

No doubt he's attracted to sex

with children or adolescents,

turned on by the power he exerts

over them

but that's not his main motivation.

Maybe I'm letting my crime fiction

imagination run away with me,

but perhaps some twisted

political motive looms large.

So he wants the public

to be revolted by his acts,

and to extend the state's powers.

To enable his authoritarian,

rationalist state.

He may have done more of this stuff.

MOBILE PHONE CHIMES

KNOCK AT DOOR

SHE SIGHS

Come in.

Estelle's handed in her notice.

Yeah.

She had some annual leave left,

so she's away with immediate effect.

My own resignation, I

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Let's just look forward.

And if anybody else

ever harasses you,

you come to me straightaway.

Thanks

..for being there.

No-one's ever

backed me up like that before.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hey.

Sorry I was such a prick.

'I love you.

'I mean, it's not just that.

'I respect what you do

and-and how you go on.'

I think that we have both just been

wrapped up in our own work, so

'I'm sorry, too.

'See you later.'

Listen, I need you to cover for me.

I need to go and see someone.

This isn't another rogue visit

to Strangeways, is it?

No, I promise, just back me up.

Don't let any of these radges in

with Confectioner, eh?

Aye. Of course.

You look tired.

Rundown, edgy.

I'm trying to get

a multiple m*rder*r

to literally tell me

where the bodies are buried.

Humans are a wretched species.

I ken he's gonna

hit me with that cliche

that hunters of sex offenders

and sex offenders are the same.

Interesting that you self-describe

as a hunter of sex offenders,

rather than a cop.

Why is that

such a significant thing for you?

It's what I do.

I want the real bad guys.

I wanna solve real crime.

And he, he thinks the likes of him

are the same as the likes of me.

Do you ever see any parallels?

Er

'Well, on a Thailand lad's holiday,

I've a colleague, Gillman,

'he and I never got on.

'A bunch of lads having a laugh.

Nobody cared.

'I tried.'

Lenny, it's hard to read their age,

is it not?

f*ck's sake, she's just a bairn.

You mind who you are!

When in Rome, Lenny!

'But I let them. I did nothing.

'Maybe I'd still let them,

even now.'

'Clowns to the left of me.'

Officers of the f*cking law!

You are aware that you're not

in normal circumstances?

I have my coping strategies.

Argh!

'I'm done talking to you,

little lady.

'Your lot need to be kept

in their place.

'Where's my DI Lennox?'

Lennox, where the f*ck is he?

He's just out for lunch.

He didn't want anyone

outside of the team talking to him.

He doesn't get to make deals

with a child m*rder*r.

I'm goin' in. But Ray said that

we shouldn't let

"Ray said," my arse!

'Ah, Chief Superintendent.'

I should be honoured.

But no offence, I'm not.

I need practitioners,

not administrators.

You've had it easy.

Don't push me.

No, Chief Superintendent,

don't you push me.

I am aware of my rights.

And we both know

the minute I request a lawyer,

this whole game changes.

Now, I have outlined my needs.

As long as I get me kip here,

in a comfy holding cell,

decent food, proper questioning

..this fella, full cooperation.

What exactly

do you want, Horsburgh?

Mm.

You've already given me a chunk

of that, Chief Superintendent,

by having the grace

to use my proper name.

I dislike the moniker

your staff habitually use for me.

Please instruct them accordingly.

And this fixation with DI Lennox?

Oh

The rest of 'em see investigation

as simple fact-gathering.

But Lennox correctly sees these

as merely effects after the event.

Therefore, he is not just a dustman,

sweeping up the rubbish of society,

he's a true investigator.

He looks into deeper illness,

not mere manifestations.

And why should this concern you?

I'm not being cheeky,

Chief Superintendent,

but the very fact that you

have to ask me that question

confirms to me that you're not

the man I'm looking for.

My story means something to Lennox.

Why? I don't know.

But he sees me.

It's personal to him.

I wanna see him f*cking squirm.

Do you understand?

Well?

Go in hard on him, or let me.

Let you? What about Fournier?

Where were you when Amanda

was smashing up your k*ller, eh?

Listen, I've covered your arse

when you've vanished

to follow your hunches.

So spare me the outrage and let us

repay the frog favour now.

It wasn't a favour.

But if you wanna help,

just stay out of my way.

You're riding your partner, eh?

No.

But you just worry about

who you're f*cking riding, eh?

You mentioned dossiers.

You really are different, Lennox.

It's personal with you, innit?

Who was he?

Huh?

Er, Scoutmaster?

'Teacher?'

A tainted uncle?

Who was he?

Who was the man

who made you who you are today?

Why are you so interested?

You see

most cops

they need to know how.

But you need to know why.

So you tell me "why" first.

Why are you a cop?

Confectioner is a suicide b*mber.

He's f*cked up and he doesn't care.

I'd f*ck' make him care.

He can handle death,

it's what he wants.

I'd bring him what he disnae want.

The pain and humiliation

he brought to their bairns.

Every force in UK,

How exciting for you.

Oh, come on, Lennox,

Thrill of t'chase!

I mean, why else do you do

We're the same, us two.

We are not the f*cking same!
