SHE SHUDDERS

That's not her.

I've got to go to London.

Sorry, excuse me!

Michelle!

We were just showing
the Justice Minister round.

Full disclosure, Chris is
actually my brother. Oh!

'Bill Martin.'

'He is best avoided.'

Mr Mackie!
CHRIS GRUNTS

My daughter was kidnapped
by the security services,

and she was m*rder*d
because I knew about Six Four!

I have information that a phone call
was made to the Mackie house,

and the police covered it up.

You shouldn't meet journalists.

SHE GRUNTS

Tell your brother
I won't be intimidated!

'Sarah Jones.'
MICHELLE: 'Back from the dead.'

Piers?
I need to get in touch with him.

He will k*ll you.

'House always wins, Miss Wallace.
House always wins.'

SHE SCREAMS

Let me out, let me out!
Please, let me out!

Help!

Stop! Stop! Please!
Let go of me! Help, please!

Stop, stop, stop!
What are you doing?!

Help! Please!

No! Help!

What are you doing?! Stop!

Help!
SHE SCREAMS

Help!

Let me out! Please!
Please, open the door!

Help! Help!
Let me out, please! Help!

Let me out!

Help!

Please, somebody!

Help! Please!

Help! Somebody help!

Help me! Help me!

Help!

Erm...

Piers?

SHE SIGHS

Thanks, Tony. I...

This is only because
there's an innocent kid involved.

Not because we're friends.

Yeah, course.

You didn't get it from me.

And remember, no-one's coming
to help you if it goes wrong.

You're on your own.

So maybe tell your husband
about the mess you've made

before you go anywhere
near that place.

Cup of tea?

No, you're all right.

Michelle still in bed?

Er, no, no, she's, erm...

She's, er, gone for a run.

Is she OK?

Yeah, she's fine. Yep.

You not sitting down?
No, I'm fine here.

Sit down, Chris. Please.

What's up?

It's, erm...

Well, it's a favour, really.

It's Robert Wallace from yesterday,
I've kind of got to know him.

And he sounded me out
about something that,

if he ever got
the top job in the SNP,

if he was ever First Minister...

he'd be wanting to appoint
a chief constable he trusted.

You?

CHRIS SCOFFS

Does he know that you voted "no"?

No, but it's not about that.
It's about progress.

Oh, and have you told him
that you're not in the Masons?

And that's the problem.

We've plenty of people
who wouldn't like it.

Did this journalist say
if she'd spoken to anyone else?

Anyone else who's involved?
Any other police?

No, she didn't mention it.
She just said that there was a...

phone call, I recall.

Wait.

A recording?

You... You never said anything
about that yesterday.

It's not true, is it?
Of course not.

Jim Mackie said it was a kidnap.
We had to listen to him.

But there were no calls.

We sat there for days, waiting.
Nothing.

No leads.

And I always had the feeling
he wasn't telling us everything.

You know what I mean?

Yeah. Yeah,
I know exactly what you mean.

So...

..I maybe...
I maybe need your help here.

Chris.

I know I said not to yesterday,
but will you speak to her?

Find out what she means
by "a recording".

CHRIS SIGHS
I don't know.

Come on.

Please.

Look...

This journalist, Sam, we...

Chris!

We were seeing each other for a bit.
It wasn't...

Well, it was,
but it wasn't really, you know?

Michelle found out,
I stopped it, and it's over.

It's over. I...

I messed up.

Ah, well,
we all mess up from time to time.

You don't, apparently.

All right. I'll speak to her.

Thank you, Chris.

You know, don't go too heavy.
Just try and...

Ah, you know.
What, find out the truth?

I always thought it'd be Michelle
that cheated on you.

You know, her being ex-undercover.

Good at keeping secrets.

Hope she enjoyed her run.

'I can't take your call,

Sam, it's Chris.

Can you give me a call back?
I, er... just want to...

..talk to you about
what we discussed yesterday.

Erm... I hope everything's OK, OK?

Bye.

Ah, hiya, Chris. How are you?
Oh, I'm OK, Sharon.

Erm... Actually, there was something
I wanted to ask you about.

Are you coming in?

Why else would I be here?
I'll chum you.

Julie Mackie?
Aye.

So long ago, Chris.
Yeah, I know that.

But you were with Philip,
weren't you?

Well, I was
the family liaison officer.

Uh-huh. You know, I still think
about that poor mother and father.

Hey... Listen, erm...

you haven't been approached
by a journalist about it?

I heard there was one
sniffing about,

saying there was a... cover-up.

A cover-up?
Mm-hmm.

There was a phone call to
the Mackie house from a kidnapper.

Seemingly, there's a recording
that was covered up.

There was nothing to cover up.

I mean, there was no calls
to the house.

CHRIS SIGHS

I know.
I thought it was all nonsense,

but the papers don't care
about that, do they?

Dragging it all up again
for the family. The family.

You sure you're not
talking about the police?

Reminding them of their failures?

We let that family down.

We never found out
what happened to her.

HE SIGHS

Listen, erm...

..does the phrase "Six Four"
mean anything to you?

Well, I like a man who's 6'4".

Who doesn't?
THEY CHUCKLE

You know...

..it was Gary McLean.

He looked after
all the recording stuff.

But... you can't talk to Gary now
cos he's dead.

Terrible. k*lled by his boyfriend.

Did you know him?
Er, no, no, I didn't.

Aye...

Anyway, I'm in here. Look...

..you can tell whoever's asking,

I wouldn't talk to journalists
about anything.

Aye, OK.

Good to see you.
And you, Chris.

OK.

Chris.
Uh-huh.

We have had a call
about a missing person.

And it's from Pauline Wallace.

Pauline Wallace,
Robert Wallace's wife,

the Justice Minister.

She wants to report
her daughter missing.

This is exactly
what people want to hear.

You've certainly struck a nerve.

We've had requests
from everyone for interviews -

from Newsnight to Channel 4.
Do them all, keep the pressure up.

Anything from the leadership?
Nothing.

Ah. He'll be off
the Christmas card list.

MOBILE RINGS

Hang on.

Pauline.

'Robert, you need to come home now.'
Whoa, whoa, wait.

What?
'The school have called.

'Annabel's gone missing.'

Again?

Why would I know where she is?

Stuart,
people have noticed what's going on.

There's nothing going on.

One of the girls in her dorm,
her friend,

said you were meeting her
last night.

Who?
We don't need names, for the moment.

This is a chance
for you to explain yourself.

Oh! This is nonsense!

It's just teenage girls.
Don't say that.

Don't you dare say that. OK?

You need to be honest with us.

Did something happen
that shouldn't have?

No! Nothing. Wh...

Wherever Annabel is,
she wasn't meeting me.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

For you.
Cheers.

All right, so that's recent.
Er, from New Year.

I can see the resemblance.

I mean, she hasn't changed her hair,
dyed it or anything.

The school doesn't allow them
to dye their hair.

If you could send that to my number.

Oh, ah, yes, of course.

Now, you won't know
what she was wearing,

where she last was seen,
who last saw her?

Er, no, it would be her friends
from school that would know that.

Have you contacted them?

I tried to, but there's no answer
from any of them.

Probably still in class, hey?

No, it's the last day of term,
they all go home today.

Have you tried Find My Phone?

I-It's not showing up.

The phone reception at school
can be patchy, too,

if they're outside.

Has she done
anything like this before?

No.

Well, she did...

She didn't go missing,

but, erm, last year,

she didn't come back
from her summer holiday

when she was meant to.
She and a friend went to Ibiza.

Right, so she has access to money.

Yes. But that's not the point.
She's still so young.

All they've done is phone me
to see if she's missing. That's all.

I-I asked the school
to phone the police this morning,

but they said they wanted to wait.
That's why I called you.

You were right to call us.

Ah, we should probably contact
one of our colleagues down there,

go to the school
and see what's going on.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll do that.

So, that was Dumfries,
they're sending somebody along.

There's a little local station
not far from the school. Right.

So, what did you think about
Annabel? Run off with a teacher?

Some lad who works on the waltzers?

I dunno.

I usually have instincts for this,
but recently, I...

You OK?

No.

No. No, I don't think I am.

Chris, I am sorry.

I shouldn't have asked you
to come here.

Hey, no. No, listen, I'm fine.

Are you sure?
Oh, yeah. Aye.

Now, you just get back.

I think I'm gonna stay.

Till we find out what's going on
at the school.

OK.

All right, well, let me know
if you need anything, OK?

WOMAN: 'Hi, I'm afraid I can't

OK, can you give me that name again?

Have the parents been informed?

And how long's she been missing?

All right. Yeah, yeah, of course.

I'll head down to the school
right away.

Say that again.

Chris O'Neill.

Yeah. Send me his number
and I'll let him know how I get on.

Right.

BUSY CHATTER

This is all her stuff?
Yeah.

Laptop, iPad...

but no phone?

Her phone's going
straight to answerphone.

Which suggests
it must be switched off.

Or the battery's dead.

Have you checked her social media?
Nothing's been posted.

I've asked her friends
not to post anything about this.

Good luck with that.

I'm gonna need names,
so I can talk to all of them.

Has she got a boyfriend?

Girlfriend?

I don't think so, no. At least...

not that I know of.

Any fall-outs?

She is a well-liked, popular,
conscientious girl.

GIGGLING
Er, girls...

One of her friends did say
that she might have gone for a walk

last night up the hill.
Miss Fullerton...

we don't know if that's true
or not, though, do we?

Was she gonna meet someone?

I don't know.
Right.

Well, I'd better go and have a look.

ROBERT: I suggest we don't...
I can't...

No, she's just gone
for a walkabout, clubbing.

I would if I were her.

Can I make anyone a cup of tea?

Are you sure you don't want
to get off, Sergeant?

You must have more important...
That's the First Minister's office.

They want to talk to you.
Now?

In person. They want a meeting.

PHONE RINGING

I can't remember
the last time that rang.

Hello?

I have your daughter.

'You ever want to see her again...

'..you must do as I tell you.'

What are you talking about?
Who is this?

'You'll get another call
with my demands.'

Wait... Hello?

Hello?

KNOCKS ON DOOR

Hello. Mrs McLean?

My name's Chris O'Neill.

I wonder if I could
speak to you about something?

Sorry, I'm not interested.
I'm a policeman.

I was a friend of Gary's.

I don't want to talk about Gary.
Please, Mrs McLean.

Gary was never the same

after he worked on
that girl's disappearance.

He moved back in with us.

He hardly left his room.

He hardly spoke to me or his father.

I would have to take his dinner
up to his room

and leave it outside the door.

Yeah, I think a lot of the officers
on that job were affected.

They were not.

They bullied him.

So... your son's case files
are locked, but...

..did Gary ever mention
a recording of a phone call?

That's all his recording things.

Do you...
have any of his actual recordings?

No. They were taken away
when the police searched here.

Do you remember any of the officers
that came here?

Were any of them called Philip?

I don't know.

There was...
one man who worked with him.

Bill.

Bill Martin?
Yes.

Bill Martin. Lovely guy.

I... I don't think
Bill was up here when Gary...

When he died,
Bill was down in London.

He was here. Came to see me.

He knew Gary. He worked with him.

Said he was the only one
who liked him.

HE SIGHS

Hey, hey, hey, come on.

Let's get you out of here.

My... My phone's been hacked.

There's people watching my flat.

You know what happened.

SAM EXHALES

Look, I was contacted by someone
called Stuart Simpson.

He's a teacher at a private school
in the Borders -

Strathalmond.

Robert Wallace's daughter goes
to Strathalmond School,

and now she's missing.
What have you done, Sam?

SAM SIGHS

Stuart contacting me
with a story he wanted to sell.

He told me that he had information
that Julie Mackie wasn't missing.

That she's dead.

And he has proof.

I went to Mackie
and I asked him about it.

And he was wary of me.

And I...
I didn't hear from him for a while.

And then he got in touch,
saying he...

had a recording of the phone call
the police covered up.

And you heard it?
No.

Jim told me that he'd give me
a copy of the recording,

and the biggest story of my career.

He gave me this phone.

Said I'd get a message
telling me where to go.

I never expected anything like this.

It's got way out of control.

Did he ever mention
something called Six Four to you?

Yeah.

What is it?

It's not "what".

It's "who".

It's a codename for someone,

someone who works
for the security services,

MI5 or MI6.

CHAIR SCRAPES BACK

Listen, Sam.

I think I need
to take that phone, OK?

I'll go back to Mackie's,
find out what he's mixed up in.

Fine.

OK.

OK, thanks.

Take care of yourself, Sam.
