"I need to ask you a few more questions about Mr. Henderson." "Now, What can you tell me about associates he might have." "He was a gambler." "He-he was a gambler." "That's right, yeah." "You know, he was always going tae boxing matches and casinos, and that... that kind of thing." "You know, he actually owed quite a lot of money." "Come tae think of it, he was in a bit of trouble." "Are you going on your holidays?" "Oh, no, no, that's my mum's." "There's a coach trip." "[Holdall]:" "Oh." "I'm just here to make sure she gets off safely." "[toilet flushing, Cemolina groans]" "Mum'?" "Anyway, you got to look out for your mum, eh'?" "Yeah." "She'd do anything for me." "Oh..." "Anything at all." "Hi, Mum." "I'd give it a couple of minutes." "Thanks very much." "Ooh, ooh, pull back there, Neddy." "Now, do you know if Mr. Henderson had any dealings with a Stephen Murphy," "John Murter," "Richard Colquhoun, or a Robert Dodds'?" "Wait a minute, that's they murdered folk."

"I can't understand a word you're saying." "Yeah, I realize you're Scottish." "I know I'm up here." "Why are you here'?" "Thomson told us" "Henderson had a gambling problem, and he was in a lot of debt." "Now, I've just spoken to six bookies from the local area, and not one of them has said that Henderson bothered him." "So, that means Thomson's lying, right'?" "He's turning shitting himself into an art form." "Yeah, well, I'd shit myself if every time I turned round," "I saw your fucking big Cockney face staring back at me." "Just-forget Barney Thomson!" "This is not a barber-based crime!" "And give me the phone." "Get out there and check on the missing persons like I ordered you to!" "Give me my phone back." "I need it." "You've got your own phone." "I need two." "[seething angrily] [muttering in rage]" "Sir!" "We've just had a report in, another missing person." "Fuck 'em." "Sir, it's one of the other barbers." "From that same barbershop."

"Let's check out Porter's flat." "Come on." "[gasping]" "Right." "Right." "I had no idea, officer." "I'm absolutely stunned." "Mind you, the dark side of Chris was never too far away." "He was always, um, flipping his razor out, rubbing his self up and down against the back of the barber's chair, you know, that kind of..." "that kind of thing." "You know, if you ask me," "I think his childhood had a part in all of this." "You know that his mother used to, uh, lock him in the bunker, throw in a boiled egg now and again." "Get him out, dress him up in one of her nighties, and get him to dance for his Uncle Gerald." "Now... does that sound normal to you'?" "Ah." "I have no idea where he could be." "I mean, there was a friend in Lewisham, but, uh, Why would he go there?" "Right." "The freezer." "What the fuck'?" "You're that copper off the telly!" "You're Taggart." "You're off The Bill'?" "You're a loser." "Oi, Taggart!" "Has there been a murder'?" "My ma thinks you're shite, Taggart." "Fuck off!" "He killed them, then he put them in the bin." "He put them in the bin, because... he was... awfully tidy." "Ah, fuck." "Fucking little sweaty socks." "He fuckin' boiled them." "He out them up and he fuckin' boiled them."

"Life must go on, eh'?" "[dog barking]" "[Cemolina]:" "Bye, girls!" "See you's at the bingo!" "Don't do anything I Wouldn't do." "[laughs]" "I know What you've fucking done!" "[Cemolina]:" "Less of the language." "Know what?" "I've been in your flat." "What the hell were you doing in my flat'?" "There's been another accident." "Oh, God." "Who is it this time?" " Chris." " Chris'?" "Chris who?" "The other fucking barber!" "Ooh, well done." "I've been in your freezer." "You're that body parts killer." "I know." "What have you got in there?" "Your pals."

"[Holdall]:" "It's too clean, sir." "It's like the evidence was laid on for us." "Now, there are follow-ups I'd like to instigate before we go public." "Barney Thomson?" "You're obsessed." "I talked to the man yesterday." "You know Where he was when Henderson Went missing?" "The bingo." "Does that sound like a crazed serial killer to you'?" "[knock on door]" "[Mcmanaman]:" "Ah, Jenkins." "I've just completed the pathology report, sir." "You have the floor." "It couldn't have been Porter who chopped up those bodies." "It's normal for there to be skin cells present on anything we touch, but with the vigorous chop-chop-chopping, those would have been enhanced." "These skin cells determine the age of the assailant." "I'd state in a court of law that this was done by someone in their late 60s, early 70s." "Well, I'll be fucked." "So Porter's got an accomplice." "Exactly so, 119." "And it isn't Thomson, 127."

"Did you kill Dad'?" "Oh..." "[Barney]:" "You told me he fucked off to Australia." "I kept asking you why, and you couldnae give me a straight answer." "You couldnae because you fucking killed him." "Shite." "I never told you because I knew you couldnae handle the truth." "So, What's the truth?" "He moved to Harthill and opened a tobacconists." "Harthill's only five fucking miles away!" "See'?" "I knew you'd be like this." "Well, why didn't he keep in touch?" "[Cemolina]:" "Maybe he was just like everybody else." "Maybe he couldn't be fucking bothered with you either." "Know Why?" "'Cause he Wasn't your dad." "What do you mean he wasnae my dad'?" "Him." "That wee prick." "He wasnae your dad." "What's the matter with you'?" "Well, who-who was my dad'?" ""Who was my dad?""
