I brought you some coffee.

Thank you.

- It should help.
- Cheers.

How are you feeling?

Warmer.

What's the verdict?

Bit of bruising to the back of the
neck, no other signs of a struggle.

She was drowned, probably by someone
a lot stronger than her.

She said she was meeting somebody
but she didn't say who.

What about her belongings?

Wallet in her jeans had a fiver
and a few cards.

No phone recovered yet.

She shared her location from here,
so she definitely had it on her.

I'll find out what network she was on...

No. She called me from an app,
so there won't be any records.

It's still worth a try, though.

OK, finish up here.

Let's get her across for postmortem.

- Quick as you can, please.
- Right.

This is a coordinated att*ck, sir.

First Burke, now his girlfriend.

I think we should treat
this as one investigation.

I agree.

There's something you need to see.

Now, this is the car that picked up Jade

from the police station yesterday.

I've run the plates, and
the owner is a guy called Mark Hill.

- Do we know him?
- He works for Patrick Cruden.

- Jeez, Holyrood's golden boy?
- Aye.

That's not your fault.

RADIO: Control. Commence sending
sub vessel footage to CTF. Over.


The diving group found the Mhairi
Finnea's hull this morning, sir.

Winches, what's left of the
outrigger, and then there's this.

Anechoic tiles.

Ripped from the submarine's
skin on impact with the trawler.

They're bagged up
and on there way back now, sir.

Engineering's primed to ID
the class of boat.

Let's see the Russians
talk their way out of this one.

[DOOR CLICKS OPEN]

- Oh, my God.
- What is it?

You see the discolouration? There's
a substance dissolving the dye.

It's the same as we found
on Burke's fleece.

So what does that mean?

Burke ingested some kind of toxin.

That's what k*lled him.

Adams gave him mouth-to-mouth,
and he's been unwell since.

This was a pre-meditated m*rder.

Do you think you can narrow down

the substance based on Burke's symptoms?

I'm not a toxicologist.

No. But you've got a degree in medicine,

which is one better than the rest of us.

Could you at least try?

Yeah, of course I will.

Good. I need you to start straight away.

Oh, I have a lot of other duties.

Look, I'm not trying to give you orders,

but if someone's brought
poison on board,

there's nothing
stopping them from doing this again.

Fine, I'll get on it.

I need to see the captain.

I'm not here to make friends.

Yeah, I can see that.

All right?

Hardly anyone knew they were a couple,

but Jade Antoniak and Craig Burke
were m*rder*d a few days apart.

And Jade called me at . last night,

and she told me that she
was about to meet someone.

She was scared.

And as we know, she was
dead by the time that I got to her.

The day before, however,
she had expressed suspicions,

of the Navy's
involvement in Burke's death,

and of infiltration within
the peace camp by MI .

Now, there's no evidence for
either of these accusations.

But she was collaborating with
Craig Burke to gain access

to information on Vigil.

And we suspect that it's that
information that got her k*lled.

Porter. Over to you for the USB.

There's a mix of operational stuff,

but there's also personal stuff on crew.

A couple of things stood out.

This is drug-testing of a hair sample.

Burke paid for it at a private lab.

It's positive for LSD.

There's nothing to ID whose hair
he was testing,

but if you look at the timing,

Vigil just got back from
a mission to Port Havers in Florida.

And if you look at the press
around that mission,

crew arrested by local cops
for being drunk and disorderly

and, allegedly, high on dr*gs as well.

What was the Navy's response?

They tested the whole crew.

All came back negative. No LSD.

So Burke returns to the UK
and commissions this drug test?

And the hair sample comes back
positive for LSD.

Contradicting the Navy's results.

The other thing,
in terms of Vigil's crew,

is a series of photographs.

I've looked through Vigil's HR files
and got a pretty solid ID on her.

The woman is Lieutenant Tiffany
Docherty, ship's doctor.

There's a man caught in the background.

You can't see much of him,

but you can make out a tattoo
of a dragon on his upper arm.

Is it Burke?

Don't know, sir.

OK, I want this
Lieutenant Docherty vetted

and we need to look into whatever
happened in Florida.

Who's the guy Burke
replaced for this patrol?

The one who broke his leg?

Uh, Chief Petty Officer John Deerborne.

He would've been with
the crew in Florida.

- I could talk to him?
- Good.

Good, OK. Get a coded
message to DCI Silva.

And let's get straight on
to Cruden's office,

find out what this, uh, this adviser
has to say for himself.

OK, thank you, everybody. Thank you.

[PHONE RINGS]

Boss, that's Lieutenant
Commander Branning.

Answer it.

- Longacre.
- Turn on News .

TV: A sailor has been found dead on
the Royal Navy submarine HMS Vigil,


one of four Vanguard-class submarines

which carries the UK's nuclear
deterrent.


- Did this come from your end?
- Absolutely not.

Burke's family maybe?

We've also had questions about a
dead activist who broke onto base.

That would not be us.
That is not coming from us.

- That's not...
- I thought we had an understanding.

So you very publicly arrested

my XO for a m*rder you now
say he didn't commit?

Prentice is still guilty of as*ault
and obstruction of justice.

Walsh is guilty of possession of dr*gs.

What we haven't done yet is
identify Burke's k*ller.

I specifically asked you

not to use the word
"m*rder" in front of my crew.

We've just had a reactor scram
and an enemy submarine trailing us.

I needed them focused!

Your second-in-command cost me two
days, trying to cover his own arse,

and we're still left with
an extremely dangerous person

on board and very little evidence to
go on, so if you value the safety

of your crew, I suggest you focus
on helping me and not containing me.

- Don't you...
- [KNOCK AT DOOR]

What?

Sir, you wanted the
diagnostics on the reactor.

It's all clear. No faults.

So run them again.

- All of them?
- Don't make me repeat myself.

Yes, sir.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

So, what now?

Lieutenant Docherty is
researching toxins,

but there's still the question
of how someone would handle

- and administer the drug.
- You're on a boat with highly

skilled engineers and technicians.

If you're asking who's capable,
I have to say anybody.

OK, look.

We know that Burke didn't eat a meal
the last time he was in the mess.

Of course, we don't know
how quick-acting the toxin was,

- so with my limited time...
- You've got three weeks.

What?

Your stay with us has been extended.

Orders from our superiors.

I can't.

I'm not prepared for that.

Those are our orders.

Will you excuse me?

Sorry.

sh*t!

sh*t.

I've got him!

I want to stay with you.

I know, darling,

I want that too,
but it's... it's not my decision,

and they're your grandparents, so...

We'll still see each other.

You don't love me any more.

Oh, God, that is just not true.

Come here.

I am going to be with you
for the whole of your life.

I promise.

Walsh's career is over.

- You realise that, don't you?
- Not my decision.

He spent his childhood in
and out of care.

You've seen the scars on his arms?
His dad used to put fags out on him.

- I'm sorry to hear that...
- He's got zero prospects back home.

You've wrecked our mate's life.

He brought dr*gs on to
a Royal Navy submarine

to frame a crew member for possession.
Those are crimes,

and it's my job is to investigate.
It's not f*cking personal.

Burke was up to stuff as well.
Did you know that?

What stuff?

Look, the sooner I get answers,
the sooner I can leave

you all alone. I'd say that's
win-win, wouldn't you?

What can you do for Gary?

We'll say he co-operated.

If it goes to court, the judge will
take that into consideration.

Burke had a sh*t-list.

He told me a couple of weeks ago
he had files on all of us.

So, what did you do about that?

Did what you're supposed to do.

I took it straight to the CO.

To Newsome?

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Detective Silva, familygram.

Three in three days. You're popular.

You reckon?

"Burke's girlfriend m*rder*d last night.

"No suspect yet."

- sh*t!
- "Look into Florida.

"Burke went fishing, got a big haul.

"Burke had photo of doc plus another.

"Weak visual on him
but he's got my favourite book.

"I hope that makes sense.

"Cat's been asking after you.

"She hopes you're OK.

"So do I."

Look, I don't deny this area
relies on Navy contracts,

but consider what we could do with
the tens of billions freed up

by scrapping Trident.

That's money to
reinvest in this community

and working communities
just like it around the country.

Go ahead, Claire.

Do you have any response

to reports
that a sailor has d*ed on HMS Vigil?

Out of respect for a young man's
family, I'll say very little,

but I will say that the Navy's
silence on this is worrying

and I'll be taking it up with
the Prime Minister.

Yes?

You found us, then?

Mr Hill! Thanks for meeting me.

Yeah, sorry it's on the move,

you know, it's a busy time
with the vote coming up.

The office said you had some
questions about an activist?

Aye, Jade Antoniak.

She was seen getting into your car
yesterday

at Kirkmouth police station.

That's right, yeah, it was a favour.

Why were you doing
favours for Ms Antoniak?

I barely knew her.

We have other friends at the
Peace Camp, I did it for them.

Activists tend to be a little wary,
don't they?

You said "knew her".

So?

I didn't tell you she was dead.

We have plenty of friends
at the Peace Camp.

Where were you around
nine o'clock last night,

if you don't mind me asking?

I was at my girlfriend's th.

The Crown and Thorn, yeah.

I got home around am. For God's
sake, don't tell the boss!

- I'll need to check that.
- Yeah, you do what you like.

Look, um, we've got
two more of these before lunch...

- [PHONE CHIMES]
- ... so I really can't be holding everyone up.

I'd like you to come
down to the station this afternoon.

I've got a few more questions for you.

- Are you asking or telling?
- How's pm?

Sure.

Thanks very much, folks. That's all
I've got time for today...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You coming? Burke's memorial.

Everyone not on watch
is supposed to be there.

I'm not sure I'm wanted, am I?

Um...

[CLEARS THROAT]

We're all, um, here for you.
You know that, don't you?

Going soft on me, shipmate?

Prick!

Craig Burke was a force of nature.

On that we can all agree.

He was passionate, and talented.

Now, I know this has been
a tricky patrol,

but we come together today to give
a valued member of our crew

the send-off he deserves.

Sir.

As many of you will know,
a few hours ago,

two of our crew members were
detained for serious breaches.

I want to clarify that those
arrests did not relate

to the death of Craig Burke.

That is an ongoing investigation,
and your continued cooperation

greatly appreciated.

We are, as we were at the beginning
of patrol, a professional crew.

Committed to the mission,
to each other, keeping Britain safe.

That task remains paramount.

We'll now have a reading.

Mark . Verse .

And when the sabbath was past,
Mary Magdalene,


and Mary the mother of James,
and Salome...

...bought spices so that they might
go to anoint Jesus' body.


Very early on the first
day of the week, just after sunrise,


they were on their way to the tomb
and they asked each other,


"Who will roll the stone away
from the entrance of the tomb?"


Mummy, I want to stay with you.
Mummy, please.

I want to stay with you, Mummy.

Mummy! Mummy!

[GASPS]

[SOBS]

[BIBLE READING CONTINUES]

As they entered the tomb,

they saw a
young man dressed in white robes...


- You OK?
- Yeah.

Your cook looks upset.

Jackie, yeah,
she's taken it pretty badly.

Her son's been in a bad place lately.

- What about Lieutenant Docherty?
- What about her?

What was her
relationship like with Burke?

Oh, can you just stop for five minutes?

We're at a memorial service.

[SIGHS]

Chief Petty Officer Deerborne.

How is it?

- The ankle?
- Mm.

Least of my worries.
It's more the boredom.

Might have to take up knitting.

I wanted to talk to you
about Port Havers.

Oh, yeah?

The party boat stuff. You were there.

Nope. I went across to Tampa.
My sister lives there.

But you must've
heard about it from other crew?

Run ashore, bit of skylarking.

You've been stuck at sea for weeks,
it happens.

What about Burke?

Burke was off his face
and smashed up his cabin,

saying he got
spiked by someone in the crew.

- Who'd want to spike him?
- Take your pick!

Listen, we all had to do piss tests,
we all got cleared.

He was just trying to shift the
blame for what he did, wasn't he?

- Did the Navy believe him?
- No.

And with the damage he caused
he got kicked off our boat,

lost his chances of a promotion.

It's only 'cos of this
he got let back on.

And what do you think
happened at Port Havers?

Like I said, all the urine tests
came back negative.

No, see, John, that's not what I asked.

I wasn't there when it happened.

Whatever you might have thought of him,

Craig Burke's family are grieving.

And now a young woman has been
k*lled as well,

which we think may be connected.

And I believe if people had talked
to us earlier, she might have lived.

She was .

- This can never, ever come back to me.
- Mm.

Look at Davis.

There was a problem with Davis.

- I don't know Davis. Is he crew?
- I can't do this.

- Please, just tell me that.
- I can't!

I've got to go, I'm sorry.

[PHONE RINGS]

I was just about to call you.

Is there a Davis on the Vigil crew list?

Bear with.

No Davis. What's this about?

Florida.

Could be a past member of Vigil.

Check US Navy personnel
at Port Havers as well.

On it.

Oh, and the hair on Burke's drug test,

I'm pretty sure that was his own.

He was trying to prove he'd been spiked.

sh*t.

In other news, Jade's bank account
and phone records are in.

She got paid a grand a month by a
limited company


called Ansell Holdings.
I've looked into it,

and you'll never guess who the
sole director is.

Who?

The guy you spoke to this morning,
Mark Hill.

What about the phone logs?
Any calls last night?

No, you were right, she must have
been using an encrypted app.

But I've been looking further back,

and that's when things get interesting.

Over the past year,

there's a pattern of late night
calls with one number.

Hill?

Nope.

His boss, the MP Patrick Cruden.

If you're interested,
he's at the City Chambers right now.

OK, I'm heading in.

I don't think I have anything
more to say to you.

Have they told you about
Burke being poisoned?

Mm.

OK, I've got a few questions. I'd
appreciate if you could answer them.

If you co-operate,
I'll note it in my report.

It'll help.

You haven't lost everything, Mark.

Lieutenant Commander Prentice.
I haven't been discharged just yet.

Well, maybe it won't come to that.

Yeah, right!

What's the worst thing about this
situation for you?

[SIGHS]

It's that I've let my crew down.

Vigil needs a strong XO.

It's why the Admiralty posted me
here in the first place.

I mean, Newsome has some merits
but discipline had slipped badly.

That's to do with Florida?

Yeah, Port Havers, last year.

The boat went over for m*ssile
servicing.

Crew went out, things got out of hand.

- Drinking, fighting in the street.
- And dr*gs?

Burke created
a problem for the Navy there.

He kept insisting he'd been spiked,
which created an obvious

discrepancy with the official dr*gs
test results.

Implying that the Navy had
falsified their findings.

I doubt the Admiralty would have
swept that under the carpet.

Far more likely is that the original
urine samples had been...

...had been tampered with.

How are these tests done?

Back at base, there's...
Well, there's very strict protocol.

I don't know how they do them abroad.

Doctor probably oversaw them.

- Lieutenant Docherty?
- Yes. You'd have to ask her.

So why didn't the Navy take Burke's
claims more seriously?

- I don't know.
- It's just...

...I'm trying to think

why they might
have wanted to avoid more scrutiny.

Did anything else happen with
Vigil in that period?

Well, if it did, Command never
shared that information with me.

And we certainly don't need
any more scandals.

I appreciate this.

Yeah.

Well, you're trying to keep
the crew safe, and...

...well, that's what matters.

Have you got permission to be in there?

Prentice is about to be court
martialled.

You shouldn't be seeing him
without a chaperone.

- Amy?
- Are you being honest with me?

Am I being honest with you? About what?

Burke was gathering information.

Kierly told me she took it to
Newsome. Did you know about that?

Oh, for God's sake! Newsome would've
told him to stop gossiping.

In fact, I doubt Burke even did it.

He was probably just trying to get
a rise out of Kierly.

And the Port Havers drug tests?

Yeah, well, most of the crew
were relieved

- when the tests came back negative.
- Burke wasn't.

He said he was spiked.

You knew about that.

And you didn't tell me.

I didn't think that it was relevant.

Burke had a whole
list of petty grievances.

That doesn't make them all real.

Look, I've helped you.

I've gone over and above.

Now, I can see that you're not
coping down here

but I'm not the enemy.

OK, Go on. Ask me.
Ask me anything. I'll tell you.

Did Lieutenant Docherty
have any involvement

- in carrying out the drug tests?
- Yes.

Is there anything else you think
I should know about her?

Like what, for example?

I had a message
back from my colleagues on land.

Craig Burke's girlfriend was
m*rder*d yesterday.

- What?
- I also know that

Burke had an illicit photo
of Docherty with someone.

- Who?
- I don't know,

I can't decipher my colleague's message.

But Docherty has access to
pharmaceuticals on board.

She knows how to use them.

She told us that she gave Burke
a paracetamol for a headache.

And you add in her involvement
with the Florida dr*gs tests,

she has means, motive
and the opportunity to k*ll Burke.

I need to speak to her now.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Yes, come in.

We've studied the tiles
from the sink site, sir.

- Yes.
- The engineers are unanimous.

And?

It wasn't the Russians.

- So, no contact whatsoever?
- No, sir.

Checked all bands, all frequencies
on all sonar sets. Still nothing.

How long?

It's been five days.

No ASW contact. Sir.

As far as we can tell,
there's no-one trailing us.

Sir?

- Get out of here.
- Sir, I have to talk to you.

Carry on.

Sir, am I still facing discharge?

Now you know I never planted the dr*gs?

You still brought the heroin on board,
didn't you? Has that changed?

What... what happened in Port Havers
though, sir, that was...

Are you threatening me?

- No, sir.
- You keep your mouth shut,

otherwise discharge will
be the least of your problems.

Dismissed.

Dismissed.

Show me that printout.

Rear Admiral Shaw. We came as soon
as we got your message.

Ray Kohli, MI . And this
is Laura Michaels.

As far as I'm aware, we are not at w*r
with the United States.

Is that correct?

We are not at w*r, sir, no.

So perhaps MI can explain to me

why a Los Angeles-class submarine
brought down a fishing trawler

four days ago,
while covertly tracking HMS Vigil?

Because, objectively, it's a
staggering act of hostility

from a supposed ally.

We'll talk to the Pentagon immediately.

Do that.

And while you're there, ask them
why we had to send down divers

to find out this bloody information!

I think we all know
the answer to that, sir.

There's still considerable tension

because of the incident at Port Havers.

So it's our fault?

You're intelligence. Find out.

We will.

But perhaps we should use the time
we have to discuss Craig Burke

and Jade Antoniak?

Sir, signal from CTF .

_

_

Jesus!

- Carry on.
- Aye, Sir.

Mr Hill.

Officer. It's not gone pm?

Oh, that's not why I'm here.

Where's your boss?

I'd like to talk about Ansell Holdings.

Why were you paying Jade?

And why use a shell company to do it?

I think the two of you were paying
her for Trident information

and then leaking it to the press.

I think you briefed them
just today on Burke's death.

OK, this is ridiculous.

And it certainly has nothing to
do with Patrick.

Jade's phone records tell
a different story, don't they?

If you can't tell me why you and Jade

had late-night calls going back a year,

well, then maybe I should
ask your wife, shouldn't I, Mr Cruden?

Did you have anything to do
with Jade's death?

- OK, we're done here.
- Mark! Give us a minute, please.

Patrick?

It's OK. It's fine.

I'll be right outside.

It's not what you think.

- What do I think?
- An affair.

It's not that.

She was my daughter.

I had a fling with her mother,
back in my CND days.

Jade came to see me last year.

It was hard.

But we were getting there, you know?

What about the company?

I asked Mark to set that up.

Why?

So that I could give Jade an allowance.

My wife didn't know about her.

Still doesn't.

Is it true that Jade was drowned?

I'm afraid so.

I understand this must be difficult.

But if there's anything that you
think might be relevant to

this investigation,
I need you to share it with me.

- She said she was being followed.
- OK.

- When did she tell you that?
- Recently.

She'd had her laptop stolen.

She was convinced MI had
people in the Peace Camp.

Why would MI be following her?

Because of Craig Burke.

You know about the USB stick.

I can't comment on that.

She told me you had it.

Burke saw himself as a whistle-blower.

A few weeks ago, he got nervous.

He told her he was on to something,
some incident in the States.

There were fatalities,

a crew member
was shipped off to the Middle East.

- A cover-up?
- I didn't get all the details.

But I do know that he
was conflicted about it.

Why?

Because he had something that showed
these boats weren't fit for purpose.

And he thought this could
spell the end of it.

He actually said that to you?

I asked to speak to him,
but he wouldn't.

Everything went through Jade.


[PHONE RINGS]

- Got an update on Davis.
- Aye?

- Sort of.
- Go on.

Well, there's no sign of him
on any Dunloch HR files,

but I did notice something else.

There's this guy in Vigil's crew
list from Port Havers.

A few weeks later, he's gone.

Ross Harmison, junior rate.

- Probably nothing but...
- Transferred to the Middle East?

Bahrain. HMS Riffa.
How did you know that?

Have you looked him up?

Tried. Been told he's on operations.

Right, OK. Put me through to Robertson.

Can't. He's in briefing MI .

They showed up out of the blue,
half an hour ago.

Right. OK. I'm coming in.

[GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION]

[NEARBY CAR HORN BEEPS]

Well, thank you for your time.

We'll be in touch.

How much did you tell them?

As little as possible.

How are you getting on?

I think we're looking at three
options, based on Burke's symptoms.

There's a drug called Pilocarpine.

What's going on?

My colleagues on land have
been investigating the cover-up

of some dr*gs tests.

The tests that were done on Vigil's
crew when you were last in Florida.

I think you cheated them,
and I'm going to give you

the opportunity to be
honest with me about that.

What?

I don't know what
you're talking about...

I'm tired, Tiffany.

Don't get on the wrong side of me today.

I switched some of the samples.

OK. Whose?

I won't give you their names.

I was told to get the samples
ready for transfer to the lab,

so I switched them for clean urine.

Where did you get it from?

I knew the tests were going to
happen, so I had a bit of time.

I paid some American recruits.

Did someone pressure
you into doing that?

No.

I don't believe you. Why, then?

Because they're my friends.

And I knew they'd messed up.

Think about the job.

You're asking people to leave
their families at short notice,

for long stretches.

You're asking them to put up with
loneliness, and boredom,

and a total lack of privacy.

When we come alongside,
people let off steam. That's coping,

and they don't deserve to
lose their careers over it.

I think you're covering.

I think someone told you to do it.

I take full responsibility.

That's a carefully worded answer.

Craig Burke's girlfriend d*ed yesterday.

Were you pressured into doing
anything else?

- Like what?
- Someone on this boat

poisoned Craig Burke.

And you think that was me?

- Why would I do that?
- I know about the photo.

What photo?

The photo that Burke had of you,
with a man.

Was he blackmailing you?

What are you talking about? Burke
was upset about the dr*gs tests.

He knew they were cheated
and that caused problems for him,

but he never mentioned...
There was never any blackmail.

Please...

What's this photo?

[CAT MEOWS]

Oh... so you like my cooking now,
do you?

[SIGHS]

I don't have much time.

That's fine.

This won't take long.

You'll note the date on that dr*gs test.

- What is this?
- We were hoping you could tell us.

I've never seen this before.

Where did you get this information?

It's come to light during the course
of our investigation.

Craig Burke left it on a digital
storage device.

Was Tiffany Docherty pressured
into cheating the dr*gs tests

- done in Port Havers?
- Absolutely not.

But you can see why that might be
seen as a legitimate

line of inquiry,
based on what we have here.

I hardly know what you have.
I've not seen this before.

Does the name Ross Harmison mean
anything to you?

[HE EXHALES]

Harmison was a junior mechanic on Vigil.

Shortly after the boat
was in Port Havers,

he was transferred to
HMS Riffa in the Middle East.

I'd like to know if there was a
particular reason for that.

The submarine service
isn't for everyone.

Ratings are allowed to
apply for a transfer.

Let's talk about Davis Marine, then.

It's a naval services company,
based out of US Port Havers.

Now, months ago, there were
local press reports of two

Davis Marine contractors
drowning in the harbour.

I've looked at the dates,

and this happened the morning after
Vigil's crew got wasted.

What does this have to do
with your inquiry?

It's a little bit strange, isn't it?

Two contractors going for a dip
in a deep-water harbour

on a Tuesday morning?

I've got sources who suggest
that these deaths

were linked to Vigil,
and that a cover-up took place.

Now, we've also been told
by multiple sources that Jade

thought that the Navy
or MI was watching her,

and possibly knew about her
relationship with Craig Burke.

We all know there have been
a lot of leaks recently.

Was the Navy concerned that
Burke might tell Jade

what he knew about Port Havers?

Are you suggesting the Navy m*rder*d
Craig Burke and Jade Antoniak?

We're fact-finding.

Part of our job is to ask
difficult questions.

Now, the question is whether the
Navy saw Burke as a security risk.

Well, ask yourself this. If we'd
thought he was a security risk,

would we have let him back on board?

The Peace Camp always think
they're being spied on.

It helps them feel important.

I'm confident someone was
watching me earlier.

That wouldn't have been us.

The Armed Forces don't
spy on the police.

This isn't North Korea.

OK then. Thank you for your time today.

That's it?

We've asked our questions, they've
been good enough to answer them.

- Aye, but I wasn't...
- That'll do, Kirsten.

So, what are you thinking?

I'm thinking she's telling the truth.

Look, maybe we're
looking at the wrong person.

- In what way?
- The photograph.

Have you got any idea who she might
have been sleeping with?

If it was anybody on the boat,
then I'm sure I'd know about it.

Walsh?

What are you doing?

- WHISPERS: sh*t.
- Put the g*n down.

Shut your f*cking mouth.

You've really f*cked me,
do you know that?

I've got nothing left.

I was just brought here
to understand why someone d*ed.

- I'm not to blame for him dying!
- No-one's saying that you are.

Prentice planted the gear on him,
not me.

Yeah. He's admitted that.

No-one's trying to blame you.

But Harmison kills whoever, and he what,

he gets a transfer out of it? A bit
of sunshine and a nice new gig?

- How's that justice?
- Gary, mate...

I did my job.

I nearly d*ed doing my job
on this patrol,

- and who's got my back?
- Gary, please. Just put the g*n down.

- Shut up!
- Put the g*n down, mate.

The point is...

...it's not fair.

- f*ck it.
- Amy, don't.

- Gary...
- Stay away from me!

Gary, listen to me.
I don't know you well, OK?

But I know there's a lot of people
on this boat

that think a great deal of you,

whether you're in the service or not.

No, you don't understand.

No, you're wrong. I do, I do understand.

I'm not going to tell you how great
life is, because I've...

...I've been exactly where you are.

Gary, look at me.

I watched my boyfriend die,
and it was my fault.

And now his mum won't let me see
the girl that we brought up together

and that f*cking broke me.

Gary.

- Gary, look at me.
- No...

I know something that you
don't right now.

Oh, yeah, what's that, then?

That there are still some bits of light.

Something or...

...or someone will come along
and make it seem worth it.

You have to picture it right now.

Because if you do it...

...there's no going back.

GP: I think you might consider
trying paroxetine.

Is there any chance that
you could be pregnant

or might become pregnant?

I think your records
are all pretty recent.

Um, any changes since the crash?

Epilepsy, blood sugars,
blood pressure all normal?

No.

Everything's the same.

Do you want to talk about us
signing you off work for a bit?

No. I don't want to stop work.

There is a waiting list for
counselling, but I think it might...

Why does everyone want me to talk?
What is there to say?

I miss them.

I used to have them both
curled up in my bed

and now I don't have either of them.

I haven't even got the right to see
Poppy, never mind...

It's not complicated. I just miss them.

[SHE CRIES]

I'll try the paroxetine.

Can I get you anything else?

No.

I'm sorry to have to ask this, but

back there you mentioned an incident
with someone called Harmison.

Was that in Florida?

Aye.

It was when we were in Port Havers
for m*ssile servicing.

- Last year?
- Yeah.

We docked, and

straight away most of us got
let off for a bit of shore leave,

Harmison included.

Duty watch had the reactor on
cool-down for maintenance.

Harmison got back early doors
to relieve them,

but he was still half-pissed and
coming down off God knows what,

so he went for a kip.

Didn't notice the cold water
hose failing.

- Is that serious?
- Aye.

Aye, it shouldnae happen.

The reactor temperature was
skyrocketing, he was fast asleep.

The generators were
over-pressurised, we had bar

of steam flying round corroded
old pipes and naebody had a clue.

So what happened?

I was back aft running
hydroplane checks.

There were two contractors
in the turbine room, local guys.

One of the pipes must've cracked
under the pressure, because

I heard screaming.

And by the time that I'd got there...

- ...they'd been cooked alive.
- Oh, Jesus.

So what did you do?

I legged it to the manoeuvring room,
woke up Harmison,

and we called the EO to initiate
cool-down procedures.

Thank God we caught it when we did.

A few degrees hotter, and we were
looking at another Fukushima.

I'm talking a nuclear meltdown

causing a massive hydrogen
expl*si*n. Catastrophic.

We were that close.

- And Newsome knew?
- Aye, he had to.

All got hushed up pretty quickly.

You know, me and Harmison
and the others who were there

taken into a room
and told to sew our mouths shut.

Officially, they just drowned.

- And Burke knew?
- Aye.

God knows how HE found out.

Then again, he has sh*t on everybody.

Harmison messed up big time.

But the truth is these boats
are on their last legs

and naebody wants to talk about it.

There's too much at stake.

Burke talked a lot of shite,
but he was right about that.

The medic will see you now.
I'll take you over.

Go and lie down and sober up.

You're a decent man, Gary.

I'm going to make sure you get
the help that you need.

Don't be long.
We need to speak to Newsome.

Yes, ma'am.

"Burke had photo of doc, plus another.

"Weak visual on him,
but he's got my favourite book."

Oh, God.

Er, Renfrew Street.

Right, OK.
Control, I'm heading there now.

Send backup.

Is there anyone there?

You can't be in here.

- How did he get the photo?
- Burke stole it from my phone.

But you didn't tell me that.

- Why didn't you tell me that?
- 'Cos there's so much going on.

It's OK. I won't say anything.

You should go.

Control, I'm en route, blues on.
