"It's too late." "They can have it after the harvest." "That's always your answer." "Build up more debts!" " I'm trying to build SOMETHING!" " It's just on and on and ON!"

"What do you think?" "Dead bloke." "No doubt about it." "You ever seen one like this?" "Several." "He was trying to fix it." "What, he stuck his head under there?" "It's perception of risk." "You think that machine's dangerous?" "Too right." "If you used it every day, you'd think that risk had diminished." "You were brought up in London?" "Yeah." "Country people think that's dangerous."

"There's been an accident." "What sort of accident?" "If you went to the house..." "The left arm, upper body and head have taken most of the damage." "The body's wrapped round the harvester blades and the blades have passed through into the upper part of the torso." "Two massive wounds across the left side of the chest and the lower part of the ribcage." "Sugar?" "Well, I've put it in anyway." "Good for shock." "I'm sorry about the delay."

" They couldn't wait." " Damn!" " Where were you?" " Police road block at One Tree Farm." " Why?" " Someone trapped under a harvester." "Who?" "I don't know." "Wait a sec." "Claire Willis." "Sorry about the appointment..." "Don't jump to conclusions." "Why not?" "I saw him at lunchtime." "TREVOR WHISTLES" "Farm accident." "Ouch!" "The body's a well-nourished Caucasian male in his early 30s." "There's a great deal of damage to the upper part of his body." "Two massive lateral cuts to the...chest." "And...on the abdomen." "Consistent with the passage of a sharp-bladed machine over the body." "OK, Fred." "Take a picture there, there and here, please." "Mm-hm." "We doing samples for toxicology?" "No." "It's pretty straightforward." "I don't want the Coroner screaming about unnecessary bills." "8 o'clock?" "Yeah, around then." "What's on the menu?" "Haven't decided yet." "What do you want?" "Don't mind." "As long as it's not sausages." "What's this?" "Phil Nelson, the farmer who was killed." "Runs a farm with his wife." "They're skint." "In the morning, they learn of a bankruptcy hearing." "In the afternoon, he falls under the harvester." "Should have stayed in bed." "He'd agree with you." "A bit convenient, isn't it?" "Thanks for coming in." "This is Michael Connor, my DI." "So, can you tell me what happened?" "I've already told him twice." "Indulge me, please." "Tell the story." "I was, em...working the, er..." "ten-acre field with the combine." "And the out-drive broke down." "It's, em..." "It's always breaking down." "I couldn't fix it, so I..." "I went and found Phil." "And, er..." "I told him there was a problem." "Go on." "He said he'd deal with it." "What did you do?" "I, em...went to me local, the Cranwell Arms." "But I never had a drink, if that's what you're thinking." "And then you went straight back?" "Yeah." "And what did you find?" "The, em..." "The field was empty, but, er... ..the engine was still running." "Does anyone else work on the farm?" "No, no, it's, er..." "It's only me." "Are you a partner?" "No." "And where was Mrs Nelson when the accident happened?" "She, em..." "I don't know, em..." "Picking up the kids from school, I suppose." "You're keen." "I haven't finished yet." "That's OK." "I can wait." "I bet you could be a really dangerous woman." "Well, you must know a thousand ways to commit the perfect murder." "You should treat me with respect, then." "What if you wanted to kill someone?" "No guns, no knives." "How would you do it?" "Why do you ask?" "Just interested." "Probably with a blow to the back of the head." "It's easy, quick, and can be made to look like a fall." "The trick would be to set up the scene of the accident as well." "If you thought a murder HAD been covered up, how would you prove it?" "Sometimes you can't." "DOOR OPENS" "Trevor?" "Can I help you?" "I'm Alastair Rogers." "Phil Nelson was a friend of mine." "I've just heard." "Well, I'm very sorry, but you shouldn't be in here." "I can't get any sense from the police." "I just want to know what happened." "I'm still writing my report, but I'd say it was an accident." "My God." "What a terrible way to die." "Where are the kids?" "They're staying with a friend." "I haven't told them yet." "What did they say?" "I gave them a statement." "It's all they wanted." "A few questions and a statement." "I thought we were seeing each other this evening?" "Why aren't you ready?" "You've obviously found better company." "Don't keep doing this, Ian." "Find someone else to go with." "I'm not in the mood." "What the hell's wrong with you?" "It wasn't your friend." "Oh, I think it was." "Claire!" "Stay." "Please?" "I didn't think this place would be so cold." "You must have hated being here." "I didn't have much choice." "I've missed you." "Have you?" "I don't remember any phone calls." "I'm sorry I hurt you, but it wasn't easy for me either." "I didn't start an affair." "You were never around!" "I always felt second best." "I never thought that." "I'm not seeing him any more." "Michael, I made a mistake." "Once in 11 years, and I'm sorry." "Can't you just stop being angry?" "Please don't do this." "Not now." "I want us to be a family again." "You, me, David." "Et voila!" "Thank you!" "Wow!" "This looks smart." "There's more where that came from." "Did you get it from the College cellar?" "We can't let him think we're cheap." "Has he ever asked about me before?" "Why do you ask?" "He wants something." "Such as?" "There are more head-hunters here than in Borneo." "Give that a stir." "DOORBELL RINGS" "Charles!" "How are you?" "Fine, Sam." "Good to see you." "I know you like the good things in life!" "I do!" "Hi." "Trevor." "Good to meet you." "Have you got a garden?" "DOG BARKS" "Sergeant Bradley." "I thought you'd have gone home." "I live here." "In the farmhouse?" "No." "In the annexe." "So, why are you here?" "What's it to you?" "Jane was all alone with the kids." "I was worried about her." "So, you work nights as well as days now?" "I don't clock on and off." "So, how is she?" "She's sleeping." "The doctor give her a shot." "What do you want?" "To talk to her." "You won't find her out here, will you?" "Well, I'll come back in the morning, then." "Yeah." "You do that." "That was delicious." "Thank you." "What a wonderful wife someone's missed out on!" "That's medicine's gain." "Take no notice." "He's teasing." "How's Wyn?" "Happy, I think." "She's in Ireland." "You miss her?" "Yeah." "But I keep busy." "She's wedded to her work." "How about you?" "I'm divorced." "I meant professionally." "We work well together." "We complement each other." "Sorry, I'm prying." "No." "You are." "Why?" "I'll put my cards on the table." "You know there's no Chair of Forensic Pathology in London." "Yeah." " Well, we're going to create one." " Excellent idea!" "I meant to sound out Sam alone first." "Then I thought I'd speak to you both." "We'll be offering all the usual perks, plus a merit award." "So, I have to ask how you'd feel if I broke up your partnership." "It'd be a wonderful opportunity for Trevor." "Ah, er..." "Trevor, you'd be an excellent candidate." "But, Sam, we're asking you." "I just need some air." "It's OK." "It's just a dream." "Ssh." "It's OK." "BUZZER SOUNDS" "Check those." "What do you mean "You're not sure"?" "I've spent six years in London." "Why would I go back?" "Power?" "Money?" "To corrupt impressionable students?" "For you, Sam." "Oh, thanks." "This has got to be a hoax." "Maybe, but I've got to be sure." "You haven't made a mistake." "Look at him." "A case of man meets machine." "Machine wins." "You don't even know what you're looking for." "If there IS something, I'll find it." "Take a look at this." "I'll be damned." "This means there's someone to blame." "I want to help you!" "Did you pay for your coffee?" "I thought you weren't interested?" "I should look." "Go down for a day." "Is there an interview?" "Yeah." "I won't get it." "You will." "You'll be all grand and elevated." "Professor Ryan!" "Sam to you!" "I'll have to make appointments to see you." "You mentioned it to Connor?" "Why should I?" "No reason." "I'm reopening the post mortem on Philip Nelson, following new information." "There's a wound on his neck which seems to pre-date the other wounds caused by the combine." "I'll start with that wound." "OK." "Glass!" "There's a wound in the neck, cutting through the common carotid artery." "Dr Ryan took a glass shard from it." "This wound probably was made before the other, massive ones." "And it's a different type of cut." "How?" "Penetrating." "With glass?" "No." "Probably something thicker, like a broken bottle." "Any toxicology?" "We'll get some samples now." "No obvious defence wounds." "BRADLEY:" "So the assailant knew the victim?" "Possibly." "That's got to put Owen Johnson in the frame." "Or Jane Nelson." "FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS" "Hey." "Come here." "It's just comfort." "Mm?" "Yeah." "OWEN!" "OWEN!" "OWEN!" "OWEN!" "BASTARD!" "What's your problem?" "You bastard!" "What are you doing?" "DON'T!" "Let go!" "Get off!" "LEAVE HIM!" "THUMPS AND YELLS OF PAIN" "AARGH!" "Get your..." "PLEASE!" "Jane, just leave him!" "NO!" "You'll kill him." "You'll kill him..." "Who delivered it?" "I don't know." "I checked with Fred." "It was left at the front desk." "No one was seen." "The combine injuries were made to conceal this earlier wound." "And that wound was caused somewhere else?" "Probably." "It could have been a fight." "No sign of a struggle in the field." "Owen WAS in the pub." "He didn't look like he'd had a fight." "When did he call 999?" "15 minutes after he left the pub." "About right." "How was he when you arrived?" "Shaken." "I can't see when he did it." "We've not matched him to a weapon - the combine's a bit unwieldy(!" ")" "No opportunity, no motive and no means." "Can you say when Phil Nelson died?" "Probably the morning he was found." "You can't squeeze the time-frame a little bit closer?" "No." "Sorry." "Could Jane have done it?" "Did she put him in the car, drive to the field, put him under the combine?" "It's possible." "We need to recheck their alibis." "I'll make sure Fred gets those samples off." "Sam?" "I can't believe I made a mistake like that." "The man had different sorts of wounds on his body." "Come on." "They weren't easy to see." "My job isn't supposed to be easy." "You're being hard on yourself." "Maybe I should step down." "You can't stop halfway." "I need you to stay." "Helen!" "Your office said you were here." "This is Dr Ryan." "Sam." "This is my wife, Helen." "Hello." "Hello." "I'll revise the report and give it to you tonight." "Good." "Excuse me." "I've got to organise an interview, then I'll be with you." "Come on." "You'll organise it, then something else will happen." "It always does." "What do you expect?" "That's the job." "And you always were married to it." "PHONE RINGS" "RINGING STOPS" "You've done all right for yourself, Alastair." "What are the finances like on your farm?" "I don't know." "No idea?" "Phil dealt with all that." "Come on, you must know something." "We were doing badly, I know that." "And it was a struggle." "What do you think happened to Phil?" "He fell under the combine." "No." "No, I don't think he did fall." "Well, that's what I was told." "Have you ever seen this before?" "Yes." "Your finances are a mess." "Your farm's about to be repossessed." "I know." "Of course, it won't now." "You're insured, aren't you?" "Life assurance." "Phil dealt with all that." "Come on!" "You know if you're insured or not." "I know what you're getting at." "You think Phil killed himself." "No." "I don't." "Well, he didn't." "Phil knew I loved him." "And he still had everything to live for." "Well?" "She seemed genuine to me." "If she goes inside, her kids will lose both parents." "She just faced up to that prospect." "That bastard Owen's using her." "He wants her, the farm, and an instant family." "Now his cover's blown." "He's really got to you." "My sister lived with someone like him." "Ended up beating the shit out of her." "They still together?" "Don't see her." "She never forgave me for beating the shit out of him." "What's this about?" "How did you get that?" "Machinery on the farm." "Nasty." "Have you seen a doctor?" "I didn't come here to discuss me health." "No." "Still, we wouldn't want anything to happen to you." "Do you think Mrs Nelson could have murdered her husband?" "No." "Couldn't think of any reason why she might?" "No." "Money?" "Jealousy?" "No." "She isn't that sort of woman." "Oh." "Well, that's a pity, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Why?" "Well, someone murdered him." "So far, it looks like it was either her... ..or you." "Who's she?" "I can't cover for you any more." "You should have been here this afternoon." "It's not important." "Well, what is?" "We all have problems, Ian." "But we don't all give in." "What are you doing here, then?" "Eh?" "You were a soldier." "What happened to your courage?" "What do you make of Phil Nelson's toxicology?" "He'd been drinking - 65mg per 100ml." "Not drunk - a large whisky, or two glasses of wine." "A bit early in the day." "Not from the night before?" "No." "I wonder if his wife was drinking." "She'd have needed help to kill him." "She couldn't move the body alone." "Maybe Owen helped her." "What's next?" "I've cut them loose for now." "I need more before I can charge them." "What about the note?" "It's clean." "There's no leads there." "Well, somebody knows." "I'm being head-hunted for a job in London." "What job?" "A new professorship." "A great opportunity, but... ..I feel a bit bad about Trevor." "You sound as if you've already packed." "I came to Cambridge to be near my family." "My mother died." "My nephew went around the world." "Wyn's in Ireland." "There's nothing to keep me here." "Sam, about Helen." "There's no need to explain." "I thought she was bringing David." "Michael, your marriage is nothing to do with me." "There ARE reasons for you to stay." "Any idea where he went in?" "No, but his boat's over there." "Any sign of a struggle?" "SOCO guys are inside now." "Are these stab wounds?" "It looks like a propellor to me." "Maybe he just fell in." "Wait for the postmortem." "You can move the body when you get some more photographs." "OK." "I'd like to find the source of that." "Do you want to look at his boat?" "Yes." "You've found a suicide note(!" ") No such luck." "But Forensic should look at that." "Hi." "I think he may have been bruised by one of these cleats." "So he went over the side?" "Possibly." "I'm sorry to see you again under these circumstances, Dr Ryan." "..Alastair Rogers." "Here are the keys to the boat." "Thanks." "Inspector Connor." "Do you keep keys to all the boats?" "No, he left his spare keys with me." "This is very distressing." "When did you last see him?" "This morning." "His boat yard's over there." "He rents it from me." "He works for you?" "No, no." "Ian's been here for years." "You knew Phil Nelson." "Did Ian know him?" "I don't think so." "I'll send someone over to take a statement from you." "Of course." "You've met him?" "At the mortuary." "He's a friend of Phil Nelson's." "He's worried about Jane." "Death seems to follow him around." "I was always warning him." "How do you mean?" "Ian was a drinker." "Boats and alcohol don't mix." "Get rid of him, will you?" "!" "CHILDREN GIGGLE" "Owen, get up." "What?" "Get up!" "Why?" "I don't want them to find you in here." "They'll get used to it." "Well, they need time." "You should let me look after 'em." "They're tougher than you think." "Daniel, Lizzie!" "Oh, you big lumps!" "Ow!" "Mum, is Dad coming back?" "No, darling." "Never?" "No, never." "Is Owen gonna be our new daddy?" "I don't know!" "MUM LAUGHS, CHILDREN GIGGLE" "The body's a well-nourished, white male, aged about 35." "OK, Fred, turn him over." "Wounds on his back are consistent with the passage of a propellor blade over the body." "They're superficial." "Not the cause of death." "No sign of river debris in the mouth." "Hands and nails are clean." "No sign of cadaveric spasm." "Father, I'm afraid." "I'm very afraid." "Would you like to talk about this?" "Lungs... 420 grammes." "Left... 390." "Fairly normal." "Right colour, too." "If the subject had drowned, you'd expect the lungs to be pale and dilated due to the ingress of water." "They'd also weigh more." "The cause of death is reflex cardiac arrest." "He went into the river and died almost immediately." "He was pushed." "The scuff marks on Neal's abdomen go in two different directions." "So?" "One set was caused when the body was recovered, the other when he was pushed in." "It's something I saw..." "It happened a long time ago." "I can't..." "This must be very difficult for you to talk about." "You've made a good start." "It's too late!" "There's no evidence he was restrained, so he could've been unconscious." "He was probably drunk, but blood toxicology will confirm that." "Maybe it was someone who knew him well, knew when he'd be easy to handle." "Someone who's killed before." "Or someone who has a history with Ian Neal." "Or both." "Your interview's tomorrow, isn't it?" "How do you know?" "It says it in the diary." "Checking up on me, are you?" "KNOCK ON DOOR" "Alastair Rogers has given us his statement." "You want to talk to Claire Willis again." "Do they match?" "Absolutely." "The paper definitely came from this pad." "Let's see what else comes up." ""You've made a mistake." "Ballycoola."" "Lizzie!" "Daniel?" "You two!" "Dad, can you shoot that tree over there?" "All right." "Gently." "Are you looking?" "Yeah." "Got it!" "It's down now." "Did you write this?" "No." "It's Ian's handwriting." "Did he ever talk about a place in Ireland called Ballycoola?" "Not that I heard." "I know he was in the army out there." "When?" "1985." "You know a lot about Ian, don't you?" "You were seen on his boat just before he died." "I wasn't there long." "What did you talk about?" "He'd been drinking." "We had a row." "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" "What, that the night he died I told him he was a drunk and a failure?" "I loved Ian." "But I couldn't stop him killing himself." "May I speak to DS Bradley, please?" "It's Dr Ryan." "..Hi." "Do you know if Ian Neal ever lived in Ireland?" "NEWS IS ON TV" "Don't have your toys all over the table at lunch time." "Eat it properly." "A man was found drowned yesterday evening at Broadlands Marina." "The death of Ian Neal is being treated as suspicious." "Police have set up an incident room in Cambridge." "The telephone number is 01223 426165." "It's good to see some people get what they deserve." "Here we go." "It's the autopsy report on a Billy Govern, Ballycoola, 1985." "He died in a farm accident the same year Neal was a soldier in Ireland." "Any link to Phil Nelson's death?" "Neal tried to tell me something." "It looks straightforward." "Maybe they weren't suspicious." "Who did the PM?" "A hospital pathologist, name of McEwen." "Have you spoken to him?" "Aneurism last autumn." "Someone should speak to the family." "If he had any." "The body was released to someone called Kavanagh." "Hello!" "Dr Ryan." "Hi." "Hi." "I hope you don't mind, Michael suggested I talk to you." "What about?" "I'm moving up to Cambridge soon with our son and we're looking for a house there." "I can't help." "I've always rented." "So you're not permanent here?" "I don't like too many ties." "You've never been married or had children?" "Why are you really here, Helen?" "Michael and I have known each other since we were 14." "I understand him." "He only left London because I asked him to." "I'm not keeping him here." "Good, because you should know that if I ask him to come back, he will." "Sam, I think I've found your Kavanaghs." "Helen, I have to get back to work." "Ssh!" "Ssh!" "Get in." "Jane!" "NO!" "Jane, open the door, please." "Jane, come on!" "Where are you going?" "NO!" "KNOCK ON DOOR Come in." "I think you should look at this." "What is it?" "An autopsy report on a farming accident in Ireland, 1985." "So?" "Ballycoola is the other part of Neal's message." "This man fell into a baler." "But look at the photographs." "They don't look consistent." "It looks a bit of a blur." "I think this has something to do with Phil Nelson's death." "Sam, this is guesswork." "Ian Neal was trying to tell us something." "You can't ignore it." "Where are the originals?" "The hospital file's coming by courier tomorrow." "No police file?" "The coroner closed the case." "There was nothing for them to do." "Bradley, will you give us a minute?" "I know you're upset you misread the Nelson death, but not every case is a cover-up." "I know what I'm doing." "Sam, you're making this a crusade." "I'm looking for evidence closer to home." "You want easy answers, Michael." "Well, you won't get them from ME." "Anything I can do?" "How did you get this name?" "Trevor knows a pathologist in County Down." "I'll get someone to check her out." "Moor Park Prison, London, please." "That doesn't sound like a job interview." "I'm digging." "You're late." "Thanks." "I made dinner for us." "I'm not hungry." "We could go out." "Helen, stop trying so hard." "I want this to work." "Six months ago, you didn't want to live with me, now you want everything." "Don't YOU?" "I don't know." "It's her, isn't it?" "Sam." "Have you spoken to her?" "Oh, I should have known." "That'd be perfect, wouldn't it?" "I forgive you and you forgive me and suddenly everything's all right." "Sam!" "Wonderful to see you again." "You know this is just a formality." "They're looking forward to meeting you." "Well, it all looks very impressive." "And it's yours for the taking." "Cheers." "I'll make sure she gets it." "It's in the bag." "I haven't made my mind up yet!" "Let me persuade you over lunch." "It's very kind of you, Charlie, but I need to think about this." "I hope you make the right decision." "Bye." "Are you Marie Kavanagh?" "I'm Dr Ryan." "I think we share an acquaintance." "Billy Govern." "Never heard of him." "His body was passed to your family after his death." "You're mistaken." "I don't think so." "Kavanagh." "Ballycoola." "You've found the wrong Kavanagh, sorry." "Does the name Ian Neal mean anything to you?" "I've already spoken to you lot." "I'm not the police." "I'm a pathologist." "I just want to find out the truth about how Billy died." "Ian was a soldier." "He told me about Billy." "What did he say?" "So you DID know him." "You don't know what you're asking." "These questions could get you killed." "Did they get Ian Neal killed?" "If he's dead, I can't help him." "Don't you want to see the truth come out?" "So why have you come here?" "Because he frightens me." "Owen Johnson?" "I saw the news." "That dead soldier came to the farm." "When?" "The same day he died." " You think Owen killed him?" " I don't know." "You think he killed him because you know he murdered your husband, Jane." "No." "Yes." "No." "No, it wasn't him." "It was me." "I did it." "I killed Phil." "Cos we were arguing and he kept blaming me over and over, telling me everything was my fault." "What was?" "The farm and the debts." "Us." "And he didn't want any of it, not me and not even the children." "What happened?" "He started smashing things." "What did you do?" "I couldn't get away, cos he was throwing things at me." " Deliberately?" " There was glass everywhere." "He kept pushing me." "And I had this piece in my hand." "I must have stabbed him." "There was so much blood." "Where was this?" "The yard." "I washed it down afterwards." "How did you move the body, Jane?" "Owen helped me." "This came for you." "It's the Billy Govern file." "How did it go with Charlie?" "They seem keen." "Did you shake when they told you the salary?" "Oh, I took it gracefully." "Are you going to accept the job?" "Trevor, if you don't try to talk me out of it, how will I know you'd prefer me to stay?" "Shall I beg?" "A whimper would be nice!" "You'll be sensational." "I'll miss you." "DOORBELL RINGS" "Michael?" "Come in." "Like a whisky?" "Please." "Jane Nelson confessed." "She killed her husband." "Who helped her move the body?" "Owen Johnson." "Can you prove it?" "Difficult." "He's disappeared." "Sam..." "I'm sorry about yesterday." "I went too far." "Yes, you did." "I saw Marie Kavanagh." "She wouldn't talk to us." "She's too frightened to talk." "I have the original autopsy report on Billy Govern." "These wounds are characteristic of a stabbing." "I think the connection between Govern and Nelson is the cover-up over their deaths." "What did they have in common with Neal?" "Northern Ireland?" "Phil Nelson was never a soldier." "No, but Owen and Neal were." "Did they offer you the job?" "Yes." "Congratulations." "I'm glad for you." "I know Helen came to see you." "She shouldn't have done." "So, did you work things out?" "Yes." "She's gone back to London." "Owen Johnson and Ian Neal were at an army base near Ballycoola the month Billy Govern died." "Really?" "And guess who their commanding officer was!" "Mr Rogers!" "Inspector." "..Sergeant." "We need to ask you a few questions about your career in the army." "Very well." "I was just going through papers with my lawyer." "There's no reason why he should go, is there?" "Did you know a soldier called Owen Johnson?" "He was under my command." " Do you still see him?" " He lives round here." "You knew his boss, Phil Nelson." "That's right." "That's funny, Jane Nelson's never heard of you." "I knew Phil through business." "He considered buying a boat." "Did you serve in Ireland?" "Most soldiers do." "In 1985?" "Quite likely." "With Owen and Neal?" "We were in the same unit, so, in principle, yes." "Whereabouts?" "All over." "We were in the infantry." "That means you walk." "Do you remember a little place called Ballycoola?" "It's a long time ago." "Think harder." "Well..." "I don't." "And you don't remember anyone called Billy Govern?" "Should I?" "Let's go back to Neal." "What happened that evening?" "I really couldn't say." "But you said you saw Claire Willis go onto the boat." "Why didn't you see Neal go over the side?" "I wasn't on observation duty." "Do you think every man in your unit will support you?" "There's someone here to see you." "Yes, it is him." "He followed me a couple of days ago." "He said he wanted to help me." "A long time ago, he saved my life." "When I was 13, I saw a boy killed." "He was a Protestant." "I expect you are, too." "What happened?" "I knew Billy sometimes went out poaching at night." "He'd never let me go with him, so I followed him." "It's very slippy." "'I wanted to be with him, see what he did.'" "There's a big one." "Are you cold?" "Yeah." "Go and sit in the van." "I'll tidy up here." "OK." "A SCREAM" "CHOKING NOISES" "RUN!" "Did you report it?" "How could I?" "No-one would have believed me." "His body was found in a baler the next morning." "What about your parents?" "They arranged Billy's funeral." "I have evidence that backs up your story." "The autopsy report." "Will you talk to the police?" "What do you want out of this?" "Why do you care?" "I saw my father murdered in front of me." "He was...he was blown to pieces by a terrorist bomb." "We'd been arguing about a boyfriend of mine, a Catholic boy." "He was so angry with me, he didn't check his car." "I live with the guilt." "Come on in." "I'll just get it." "Can I speak to Inspector Connor?" "Yes?" ".." "Put her through." "Hello." "Yes." "Where?" "..Ex-demonstration model." "It's only been used in two shows in Scotland, so it's a very, very good buy." "MUSIC PLAYS" "Are you Alastair Rogers?" "Marie!" "Remember me?" "Marie, no!" "Ballycoola?" "The girl from the forest." "Remember me now?" " No." " You're lying." "I saw what you did." " What?" " You murdered Billy." "Take a look around." "If you shoot, they'll kill you." "I can't forget what you did." "This isn't the way." "You murdered him." "Say it." "Christ." "I won't let you ruin your life." "Have you got her clean?" "Sir." "Don't move." "You should never have been there." "Move!" "Go!" "Drop the gun." "I need the ambulance." "We need an ambulance now." "We have a man shot." "He's going to live." "I'm glad... for Marie's sake." "Why did you do that?" "You risked your life." "You could be in a body bag now." "I know." "I cannot believe the lengths you will go to to prove you are right!" "You're the most stubborn woman I've ever worked with." "I was right, though, wasn't I?" "So, will you go to London?" "I'm still deciding." "♪ Testator Sile-ens" "♪ Costestes e Spiritu-um" "♪ Si-ilentiu-um. ♪" "Subtitles by Audrey Flynn BBC 1998"
