02x04 - 1984

[bunniefuu]

HELICOPTER ROTOR

ANNIKA: ...I mean, clearly the
Isle of Jura has an old Norse

name, most islands in the
Hebrides do, as you'll know.

And as we're approaching
it from the air,

you'll be able to see
its distinctive raised pats.*
* SMALL PLATEAUS/HILLS

- Yeah, we've already landed.

- Excellent. Uh, in which case, let me
tell you that the most remarkable thing

about Jura is that it was
the writing place of 1984?

- George Orwell.

The work which... details
the concept of... Room 101,

where you're... forced to
confront your worst fear.

- Is that why you grabbed the parachute?

- I feel guilty that it was the last one.

Hello! The, uh, local officers
set up an incident room.

They're pretty giddy to
have Marine Homicide here.

- So you're with us too?
Didn't realize your patch went this far.

- No, it doesn't. I transferred from

Edinburgh to join your
team, weren't you told?

- Annika likes to wait a few years
before she tells me the big stuff.

- Okay, should we see the body?

- Sure, yeah.

Are you okay with that?

- Yeah, I'll keep it a bit longer.

- Is the body secure?
- That's one way of putting it.

- So, before he wrote
1984, George Orwell left a

safe life in the UK
to fight tyranny overseas.

It's not clear if he parachuted into
Spain, but I wouldn't put it past him.

While he was there, he got
tuberculosis, a b*llet wound to

the neck, and his own countrymen
mocked his posh accent.

But when he decided to
write about fear, I mean proper,

heart-stopping, stone-cold
fear, he chose this place.

So that's not at all ominous.

Right, and this is?

- When there's no police station on
the island, you get a-

- A fish factory.
HARPER: Yep.

ANNIKA: Blair, you online?

- I'm here, go ahead.

HARPER: So, timeline:

Approximately 3.40am, a
body encased in ice was dumped

in the sea, somewhere
between Islay and here, on Jura.

- How do you know what time it was?

- Freshwater ice has low density,

so accounting for salinity,
what we know about

its size, and the degree of thawing,
we get our estimated time for the drop.

I had a marine scientist
crunch some numbers for us.

- At six o'clock in the morning?

- She's got kids, she was up anyway.

So, 4:10-- three fishing
enthusiasts leave Islay.


snags our victim, and they call

the harbor master, this
guy, known locally as Salty.

He's agreed to show us the
exact place the body was found.

- The briefings have
come on since Edinburgh.

- It's much slicker.

- Wait, didn't I do the
briefings in Edinburgh?

And, as we're here, there's
nothing specific in the rulebook

that says a pregnant
officer can't go on a helicopter.

- Yeah, it was a bumpy ride, Blair,

there's like two pages
of risk assessment.

- There were no international vessels
in the area, so the body was dumped

locally from either Islay, where our
fishermen set off, or here, on Jura.

- Most likely Islay, bigger
island, more scope to get it done.

- Or Jura, with its rich literary history.

- Yeah, I'm with Michael. Jura's tiny.

- Islay for me too. Easy.

- OK, it's three against one, that's fine.

- There's a team of specialists en
route to start the thawing process.

Until we have a clearer view of
the face, we won't have an ID.

But most likely white, male, middle-aged.

- How did you get that bit?
- He's dressed like you.

- So why freeze the body,
to then dump it in the sea?

- Maybe they thought the ice would sink.

- Or he was k*lled years ago
and they've only just emptied

their freezer. There's
lots of weird stuff in there.

- I've checked the missing
persons reports,

going back decades.
Nothing outstanding locally.

- Hmm.
SLURPS

Does anyone else's coffee taste of-

- Mackerel?
- Yes!

EILIDH WAILS

ANNIKA: And who's that?
- Yeah, I don't know who that is.

- He was my partner.
It'll be ten weeks on Monday.

I left my husband, Qaiyum, locking
up the shop, but he never came home.

- Why didn't you report him missing?

- Everyone was convinced that he'd
run off with his ex, Janine Tulloch.

She left Jura the same day he disappeared.

And, uh, half the money in our joint
account was transferred to her.

- Hmm.
Seems pretty conclusive.

- They always had big plans: Leave
Jura and set up a business together.

But she's got a cruel side, So...

Qaiyum broke up with her, married
me and we took over the news agent's.

- But he went back to her.

- Some people like getting
punished, don't they?

- Do you have any pictures of him?

- Deleted them all.
Couldn't face looking at him.

- Did your ex take any
belongings with him when he left?

- His passport and small photos.

Plus a big old rucksack, like that.

- It's a parachute.
- Those were the only things missing.

Janine could have taken
those, like she did the money.

- You think she k*lled him?

- No, I've seen his body in ice; I do.

Checking in here before going
to school is very impractical.

- Well, it's for both of us.
I'm grounded too.

- They had to fly through a storm.
You're not grounded.

- Well, I'm on the ground.
- Right. Well...

Log the time.

Nice talking to you.

My sister's a cowbag,
dumping you by text.

I've told Erin she needs
to do better next time.

- Good news for her next girlfriend.

- Are we OK?

Doesn't have to be awkward between us.

- It's fine.

Congrats on the whole
unplanned pregnancy thing.

- I thought we were going for not awkward.

- Yeah. Another fail.

See ya!

- See ya.

MICHAEL: So, you got Morgan
under Blair surveillance?

- Mm-hmm, teenagers are wily.

Just trying to get herself on a
work placement at an 'eco resort.'

How is that wily?

It's a week. There's
entertainment, attractions,

and a high chance of tomfoolery.

- 'Tomfoolery'?
- Shenanigans, loose morals.

- Is that an Edwardian resort?

- Just let me flap about
this for a minute, OK?

- So is this the kind of thing that
we both should be talking about?

- Oh, I don't know.

It's still quite new.

- It's newer for me.

I guess this is Salty.

- As in 'sea dog,' right?

- Well, isn't a sea dog a walrus?
- Dunno.

- We found them here, right
between the two islands.

The body won't not move far.

- So, would you put your money on
it having come from Islay or Jura?

- I dunno. Either.

My cottage overlooks Islay
harbor, and I don't sleep.

Nobody was lugging ice in the early hours.

You should be checking
out the private jetties.

- OK, then. So it's... 3-2?

- He said he didn't know.

- A list of people out in the water
that your lassie got me to draw up,

mostly tourist boats.

- Why have you underlined Chris Gray?

She's the ghillie at that
conference hotel on Islay.

Only time she'd be out that
early would be with guests,

but she was on her own.

- Does the hotel have a jetty?

- Aye. I'll take you there.

If you're happy with
a walrus sailing you.

Got the polis with me, John!

- Aye, so I see.

- The ghillie's boat is the one over there.

- Uh-huh, uh-huh, 'ghillie.' Good, good.

What is a ghillie, exactly?

MICHAEL: A sort of gamekeeper.

I guess this is her boat.

- OK, if I was to ask for
your input about Morgan,

SIGHS
what would you say?

- About her trip to the underworld.
- Fine...

Don't say I didn't consult.

Well, maybe after Erin
she needs a distraction.

I mean, breakups can be pretty painful.

At least she's thinking about the future.
Plus,

you could get an
armed protection unit to tail her.

- See? Now you're talking.

CHRIS: h*!

What're you two doing?

- I mean, we can take that
question in a number of ways.

Yep.

- Um...

- Salty hasn't had a full
night's sleep since the '90s.

He's practically delirious half the time,

So if it's him that said I was
out on the water this morning-

- So where were you?

- I was here, catching these.

MICHAEL: Anyone see you do that?

- Why are mainland detectives
investigating poaching?

{\an8}CONFERENCE HOST:
Welcome today, our keynote speaker...

Which it isn't, by the way.

They're for the kitchens.

- We're Marine Homicide.

- OK.

{\an8}JAKE: Thank you.

Well, the hotel manager
should vouch for me.

{\an8}JAKE CONTINUES

She's pretty busy, though,

'place is rammed
because of the conference.

{\an8}JAKE: This is my first visit
to Jura, it's very beautiful.

Everywhere is.

{\an8}JAKE: I'm going to begin by...

- Just... give me a second. Sorry.

- I'll talk to your manager. You stay put.

{\an8}JAKE CONTINUES

What have you got?

I'm at the Islay Industrial Estate,

I think the news agent might be right
about the victim being her husband.

I'm in the workplace of the
woman she thinks k*lled him.

Want to see?

MICHAEL: Am I looking at an ice factory?

- Yep.

{\an8}JAKE:
Her daughter developed trust issues.

{\an8}Her anxiety levels were spiking,

{\an8}she was struggling to form attachments.

{\an8}Meanwhile, the mother,
let's call her Mother A,

{\an8}had grown so used
to lying to her daughter

{\an8}that deceit seemed to character-...

[[Okay, okay.]]

Um...

- [Annika?]
- Hmm?

{\an8}Her deceit- COUGHS

{\an8}FEEDBACK
which seemed to characterize

{\an8}the, um, the majority
of their interactions.

{\an8}Mother A felt this deceit. Um...

Janine's still not picking up.

Her meeting should be finished soon.

- Are these partitions removable?

- We can make bigger blocks
if that's what you mean.

How big?

- Big enough to fit an adult male?

- Previous owners
did make larger blocks

for ice sculptures
and industrial cooling.

But it's not a big earner.
Parts are available online,

folk just make their own.

- So anyone can just make
themselves a massive block of ice?

- Sure. A chest freezer will do
the same if you fill it with water.

{\an8}TEXT ALERT

Janine says she's up to her eyes
it and can you come back later?

- No, not really.

I'm investigating the m*rder of Qaiyum Das.

- OK.

Well, I can help with that.

I'm Qaiyum Das.

But I'm feeling surprisingly
good, all considering.

OK, well, thanks.

- Anytime. Most of the
guests here are therapists,

so it's nice not to be
asked about my dreams.

Just coming!

- So, hotel manager confirms that ghillie
Chris was at work and not on the water.

So that list that we were given-
- Might have to be taken

with a pinch of Salty.

- [[Very good.]]

Harper is breaking the news to our

grieving widow that her husband

has set up an ice factory with
his first love-- they both have alibis.

- So our victim might have been in
transit, a tourist or someone on business.

Let's check accommodation.

- On both islands or just...?
- Yeah, sure, both.

And when Jura's confirmed
as the crime scene,

let's see what it does to the vote.

Harper's arranged a car for us.

- So, 'Mother A'?

- Don't.
- At least he could've changed the initial.

- Let's, uh, wait over there.

- Don't you think you ask
your permission to do that?

- Oh, yes, here!

In...! In, in... Out, no, out, out.

Out, getting out.

Look, we can't do anything until,
you know, the body's defrosted.

So let's pick this up tomorrow.
I've got, you know, a score to settle?

JAKE: I have absolutely no idea.
POLITE LAUGHTER

MAN: But seriously, Doctor, I've
been interested to hear your

views on the alternative study
by Bannerman and Strong.

- I don't think that particular
study was that conclusive.

And the methodology-
- Yes, interesting, interesting,

yes, the methodology. Yeah.

{\an8}OSTENTATIOUS
CRUNCHING

I had a question about that.

- Certainly. Fire away.

You mentioned 'trust issues,'

that presumably the
patient and her mother

trusted you to keep
your mouth shut,

you know,
I dunno, generally?

- Problematic thing
about any case study is

that a person can
identify themselves with it,

{\an8}OSTENTATIOUS
CRUNCHING

even when it's
completely unrelated.

And- why might a person do that?

The fact her daughter's vulnerabilities
exactly match those described,

or that the mother
shares her, you know...

actual initial.

- You feeling better?
- Yes, a bit. No.

- You want a fizzy drink?
- Mmm.

I'm up! I'm getting up!
Is this how it's going to be?

- I miss you!

- Can't you miss me after 8am?
- And what were you doing last night?

- Nothing, 'cause I'm
earning back your trust.

- Did you speak to anyone?

- Have you tapped my phone?

- Oh, so you did speak to someone.

- I called morfar. I was bored.

- Really?
That's like, twice in a year.

What'd you talk about?
- Just stuff.

- Well, if I was allowed

Femi over, maybe I
wouldn't have done it.

- Well, I guess if it stops
you phoning grandfathers-

- 'Course it would.
- perhaps the distraction isn't so bad.

{\an8}CHRIS & MANAGER TALKIING

- Yeah, for you too!

Hi, Jake!

- Hi, Morgan.

- We missed you.

- Yeah, me too.
Lovely to see you.

- Uh, yeah, we were just, um,

discussing his, um,
conference papers.

- Well, I've never heard
it called that before.

Gonna go back to sleep now.
- Yeah.

VIDEO CALL BEEPS OFF
- Okay, well,

we could've done that better.

- [Yeah.]

{\an8}TEETH BEING BRUSHED

I mean, she's gonna
think we're now...

- Mm-hmm?
- ...you know.

{\an8}. . .

Mmm. So, uh, are we?

You know, um... COUGHS
- Huh?

- Mmm.

- Wmm-

Well, I mean, this
could go on some time.

I've got to-
- Yeah.

- You got a spare toothbrush?

No.

HARPER:
Blair's online. He made you a coffee.

- Thanks.

Yeah...

So, I saw ghillie Chris hand the hotel
manager an envelope of cash this morning.

- Where did you see that?

- Outside my... just, uh, outside.

Hotel manager claims it
was payment, 'cause the ghillie

punched a guest and made a
mess of the bar on Monday night.

Money was her making it right.

HARPER: And also maybe a
thanks for giving her an alibi,

'cause there's no sign
of her on hotel grounds,

and her boat was
missing from the jetty.

- I'll get the hotel cameras,
see if they caught this fight.

HARPER: I have a possible idea on

who the victim is.
Ronan McIntyre, 37 years old.

I got the Islay Harbour Register,
and his boat's overstayed his booking,

and Salty hasn't seen
him for a couple of days.

- You got that already? His face
only thawed out half an hour ago.

- He does have quite an identifying
Mark on his body, though.

He's got "your name" on his butt.

- He's got a butt tattoo of my name?

- Heh. It's a chat-up line:
'Do you believe

in fate? Because I've got--'

- "Your name" tattooed on my arse.
- [[Yes...]]

Does that, does that work?
- No.

- Does for me.

A Jura boy, originally.

Lives in Glasgow but
works for a hamper business.

He buys island produce, so
he brings his boat up frequently.

- So where was he staying?
- He always books into

the same rental cottage.

Salty says it's only about
ten minutes away from here.

- Mm-hmm. And
when you say "here,"

you mean Jura.

Just saying.
OK, let's make sure

it's him, because we've
already told one man he's dead.

Michael, check his boat.

Blair, send through the camera
footage of the fight when you get it.

Harper, we'll go to his accommodation.

Anyone got anything else about anything?

BLAIR: Nope, I'll check in later.

ANNIKA: All right then.

{\an8}TEXT ALERT

- You settled it, then?

- What?

- 'The score.'

You're wearing the same
clothes as yesterday.

There's a lot of sneaking about in 1984.

Love notes, liaisons in
fields and secret bedrooms.

Of course, for the main
characters, Winston and Julia,

getting caught means interrogation, t*rture
and brainwashing by the Thought Police.

Whereas I just get Michael.

ABENI: I'm a mixed-media artist,

this is something I'm doing
for the Jura Orwell Festival.

I'm keeping the centrepiece top
secret until the big reveal next week.

- I mean, it nails the Big Brother theme.

ABENI: You think it's too on the nose?

- So, Ronan McIntyre rents a cottage from you?

OLIVER: We wish he rented it.

- He's an old friend. He stays for free.

- And he treats us like his staff,

as if we don't have enough to
do with three cottages to manage.

- Cleaners have already been today.
Had to bag up all his stuff.

- Oh, we'll need to take that.
OLIVER: Really?

I reckon he's just
shacked up with some girl.

He often wakes up in the wrong bed.

- Easily done.
- He's not as bad as the island claim,

people say he's fathered
half the primary school.

LAUGHS
Yeah, I know.

Everyone's always teasing
us that Ronan's responsible.

- Bet that's fun.
- No, it's just gossip.

He actually introduced us.

Paid for our fifth round of IVF.

- Thinks it buys him the
right to name our kid Bono

or Morgan Freeman.

- Well, it's a boy or a girl.

- I mean, don't knock 'Morgan.'
- Right!

- Well, whoever Ronan's met
this time must be a keeper

for him to have missed Ollie's

dad-to-be lock-in* on Monday.
* AFTER-HOURS PUB PARTY

- It was meant to be a low-key dram
* AFTER-HOURS PUB PARTY

before we headed over to
the mainland paternity unit, but

the whole island turned up.

ABENI: Not me. I was in
my bed. Ollie stumbled in

at 7am and we got
our first one-star review

because Cottage 2 was
left without power all night.

- I missed their text.

All they needed to do
was just flick the trip switch.

- And Ronan didn't come back at all?

- He hasn't been here
since he set off on his

boat for meetings on
Islay on Monday morning.

- Hmm. You've got a private jetty, then?

ABENI: Most people have.

Is this about the body that
was found this morning?

I mean, Ronan is a tear-away,

but he would never-
- No, no, he's not a suspect.

- We're actually still waiting on a
positive idea on the victim himself.

- Oh, but you'd know if it was Ronan.

He has the most ridiculous tattoo.

I'll get him to show you when he turns up.

The worst chat-up line in history!

- OK, shall we, sit down?

SHIP HORN

{\an8}When I go, I hope it's
not an arse tattoo that IDs me!

- Then don't get one.
BLAIR: I got the victim's schedule

from his work.

Last thing he turned up
for was a whisky tasting

at the Islay Royal Hotel

on Monday afternoon.

- That's where ghillie Chris works.

- Yep, not long before the fight.

- It pains me to say it,
but since the victim's boat

never returned to Jura,
the m*rder might have,

you know,

happened on Islay.

- You're the only one keeping score.

Well, the victim's boat's a bit messy, but

not like there's been a struggle.

- So if he was drowned,
let's say in a freezer,

you'd have to wait about 24 hours
before it became a block of ice.

- Oh. Funny you should say that.

Well, not 'funny.'

ANNIKA: What's in it?

- Stuff for his hampers, I guess.

- To create the ice block, it
would have had to be full of water.

- Well, it's mostly venison now.

- How do you even get such
a massive ice block out?

You'd need a hoist.

- His social media is mostly full of
selfies of him with various women.

- You think he might've

picked someone up from
Islay and stayed over with them?

- Well, this boat's clear, but
SOCO* are on their way
* SCENE-OF-CRIME OFFICERS

for when you get here.
* SCENE-OF-CRIME OFFICERS

- Maybe his sister can help:
Tina McIntyre.

All we've got for
her is off a next of kin

from seven years ago.

But apparently she's not answering.

We'll keep trying.

- Have you got the CCTV from the hotel yet?

Pinging over now.

ANNIKA: Huh.

Is that our ice man holding the antlers?

- Yep. That looks like our guy.

And there's ghillie Chris.

Ooft. It's not just pheasants she whacks.

- OK, we're breaking up. Ferry out.

PA: We're shortly arriving
at the Islay ferry terminal,

please return to your vehicles.

- I'll go and see her when we land.

HARPER: You want some
coffee from the cafe?

ANNIKA: I can get that.

HARPER: No, it's fine.

I don't drink it myself,
but I know what it is.

ANNIKA: I don't know why you say that.

HARPER: Should I get one for Michael?

ANNIKA: Best not.
He's waiting for SOCO.

CAMERA SHUTTER

SNIFFS

GAS LEAK HISSING

MORGAN: Thanks for picking up.

JAKE: Always.

- Okay, so are you
and mum a thing now?

- Well, you could call it
a thing if you wanted to,

what do you think?

- It's great.

So I'm standing in queue
for the work placements, and

and I know mum doesn't
really trust me at the moment.

- Yeah, because you stole a boat.

- Sure, but that was a one-off mistake

and this, this is about my personal growth.

It's only a week and there'll
be no parties 'cause it's

a professional, worky, thing,

and I need you to talk to her about it.

- Look, she's made her decision.

It's important to be consistent.

- Even if it's wrong?

- Well, if you think it's wrong,
then you make your case.

- But I'm asking you to make
it, in your sneaky, therapy way.

- What do you mean, "sneaky"?

- Okay, it's fine,
SIGHS

but-- this is my future at stake,
and if it's ruined, it's on you.

- Well, who's being sneaky now?

- Welcome to our world, Jake.

Are you in, or are you out?

- Yeah, I see what you mean.

- It's less fishy, right?

- I was thinking it should be more.

Ghillie Chris is back at the hotel.
I'll call you when I've seen her?

- Yeah.

expl*si*n

SALTY: That's Ronan McIntyre's boat!

- Is Michael still on there?
- I can't see him.

God help him if he is.

- Ah...

Come on!

MICHAEL: It's nice to
take an afternoon dip!

SHE SIGHS WITH RELIEF

- Did you see who did it?
- Very refreshing, thanks for asking.

- Hey, that guy's stealing my boat!

MICHAEL: That's the guy who
ran just before the expl*si*n.

SALTY: Come on, you bugger!
Get back!

- I don't suppose you want a summary
of the plot of 1984? That usually-

METAL CLANKS

- Didn't realize they had so many uses.

- Chris?

Chris Gray? Marine Homicide.

- I'm busy.
- Well, it doesn't work like that.

You had an altercation on Monday
evening with Ronan McIntyre.

- That's a private matter.

- No, it's a police matter.

MOBILE RINGING

We're investigating his m*rder.

. . .

- Ronan's dead?

- Yes, So I'm gonna have to
ask you some-

. . .

. . .

- I can't make it stop.
- Okay, okay, let me.

. . .

Hello?

BLAIR: Hello?
Is this Tina McIntyre?

- Blair?

- This is Harper. I'm with Chris.

- Chris-Tina.

You're his sister, aren't you?

- I nearly lost my best officer.

Well, I don't know, second best.

- I didn't know anyone was on the boat,

but in my defense, I
waited to check he got off.

- Of the boat you were blowing up?

- I don't think rationally
when I lose my temper.

It's part of the anger-arousal
cycle, trigger-escalation-crisis!

I'm on an anger management program.

- Oh?

How's that working out for you?

- I may need a few more sessions.

- What was your trigger?

- I made whiskey for his hampers,
but he canceled the contract

even though he knew my
distillery couldn't survive without it.

Got notification from his offices today

that they wouldn't even
pay for the last batch.

- Uh-- this whiskey?
Interesting label.

- It's just a parting shot.

- "Ronan McIntyre,
ruining lives since 1985.

Best served on ice."

A parting shot can
read like a death threat.

- Oh, I was just running with a metaphor.
- Yeah, you really ran with it.

- That's him?
- And if you did freeze him on the boat,

then any forensic evidence is
now at the bottom of the harbor.

- That's not why I wrecked it.

Oh man, this is getting way too big.

- Where were you on Monday night?

- Well, I was at my program.

- Oh, they last all night, do they?
- It's in Glasgow.

I didn't want anyone on the island
to know I was seeing a therapist.

- Well, all the therapists
are here, as far as I can tell, so

it should be easy
to check your alibi.

HANDCUFFS CLANK

THUNDER

- Who'd do this?

- That's why we're here.

The last sighting we have of your
brother, you're giving him a beating.

- I didn't hit him that
hard, he lost his balance.

Only his watch was broken, nothing else.

- Did you fight often?
- He was a wind-up merchant.

If he saw an opportunity to
get under your skin, he took it.

He teased me about my job.

Wish I hadn't taken the bait.

- Did you see him after you fought?

- I guess they sailed back to Jura.

He said something about a mate's lock-in.

I just wanted to clear up and keep my job.

- His boat never left Islay.

Do you know anyone who
might have wanted to hurt him?

- Like I said, my brother made digs.

He didn't know when to stop!

- So where did you go
after you left the hotel?

- Hospital, then home!

- Really?

'Cause, we know that
you were on the water

the morning your
brother's body was dumped.

- What did you do, you silly wee boy?

PA: The 1721 ferry to Jura
will be boarding in 10 minutes.

EXHALES

- You've seen Jake again tonight?

- That hinges on whether he
changes mother A to mother B.

Or any of the letters, actually.
- Yeah.

How's Morgan about all this?
- Uh- 's- fine.

She's already using him to get
me to agree to that week away.

It's a classic tactic.

If the mum says no, you ask.

- Your dad?

- No, no, I wasn't gonna say that.

- Yeah, you were.

Look, it's a choice, isn't it?

You either let her go or you don't.

You're gonna have to
trust her at some point.

On her way back from confronting
her disappearing husband.

- What a conversation that must have been.

- Mortifying.
Where'd it just come from?

- You know the whiskey
maker I hit with the life buoy?

He also supplies the cafe at the terminal.

- Does his alibi check out?
- Mm-hmm.

And ghillie Chris, Tina.

She dislocated her finger in the fight,

spent most of the night in
Minor Injuries with her wife.

- Why did she lie to us about

being out in the water the
morning the body was dumped?

- Because the lobster
pots we saw in her boat

were stolen, so she
was poaching after all.

- So the hotel manager was in it too?

- Mm-hmm, which I imagine she now
sees as rather a shellfish thing to do.

- Oh h*! COUGHS
- Well, I thought you must be

used to these by now.
- It's the whisky.

No wonder the victim ditched it.
BOTTLE CAP SCREWS ON

- That's what Morag at the cafe said.

Wrong first name terms, even
though I've only been in there once-

- Where you going?

- The cafe, 'cause
they never forget a face.

- There was a telescreen in Winston's flat,

which meant he was
constantly under surveillance.

He was allowed to mute
it, but not to turn it off.

Even when he hid in an alcove to write
his diary, he still wasn't really alone.

Now, there are no
telescreens on the Jura ferry,

and our victim certainly
wasn't writing a diary.

So he wasn't even thinking
about keeping hidden.

But he was seen nonetheless.

Because there's always someone watching.

- So Ronan did come
back to Jura that night?

- He bought a drink at
the cafe, boarded the 11pm ferry,

according to Morag, who served him.

He was going to a friend's lock-in.

- That would have been Oliver's.
- But he didn't get there, right?

BLAIR: So where did he go, if
he didn't go to the pub?

- Oh, the watch!

It was smashed in
the fight with his sister,

but it was in the rental
cottage at Abeni and Oliver's,

- So he definitely made it back there.

- Can someone who's 8 months
pregnant carry a human ice block?

- 'Cause I'm happy to do an experiment.

- Thanks, but I don't think it's Abeni.

She was upfront about local rumor.

- But her husband, five
rounds of IVF, and now people

are saying your friend
didn't just pay for the bump.

- Delicate issue, paternity.

- The locals confirmed that
Oliver was at the pub all night.

- Everybody was blootered,
maybe he snuck out.

ANNIKA: Have we got any
footage from outside the pub?

- Pulling up the CCTV now.

Hang on.

- So, um, while we wait, do
we wanna just do a quick?

- Fine: Jura.

- Yeah, Jura for me too.

- And me.

- I've got the
husband on Car Park

CCTV heading in the direction
of the rental cottage at midnight.

Returning an hour later.

Time enough.
- Yeah.

Don't m*rder someone on the
island that birthed Big Brother.

CAR DOORS

ELECTRIC CHAINSAW

ABENI!

ABENI!

WHERE'S OLIVER?

He's taken the boat!

Wanted to clear his head.

Ronan's death has hit him really badly.

Me too, but I've got
this bloody thing to do.

- Why don't- why don't
you put that down?

We'll find Oliver.

- Oh, OH!

It's been going on all afternoon.

I don't think this is Braxton Hicks.

OHHHH! OH!

- Right.

ABENI PANTS
- 'Cause I think my other officers

are much better with- with hot towels.

ANNIKA ON PHONE:
Yes, we're doing the breathing.

I was just seeing if there's anywhere
near that stocks nitrous oxide]

Thanks for your help.
Be as quick as you can, please,

I don't wanna have to cut
the cord with a...

chainsaw.
ABENI GROANS

SORT-OF CHEERFUL
Okay then!

You're doing really well, Abeni.

Would you like me to find some whale music?

- The water wasn't frozen.

- We don't need to talk about this now.

- I put on the machine two days
ago, but yesterday it was still just slush.

I thought it was another power
cut, but maybe... IN PAIN

- ?????, that's a big one!

I'm just gonna have
another look, all right?

Oh yeah, yeah.

Ah...

EVEN LESS CHEERFUL
You're doing great!

And first, labors, they can take ages.

I mean, mine lasted over 100 hours.
At least it felt like...

- You can't think Ollie would k*ll him?

Ronan was a good friend!

- I know, but for now, I think we need
to focus on the task in hand because...

IN PAIN

Yeah, I'm... Okay, I'm currently
looking at your baby's head.

- It's coming!

- Oh boy.

It- it may well be a boy.

Here we go!

MICHAEL: Bring us up alongside, Salty!

HARPER: Michael will step on,
I'll board from the water.

- Nice to have a clean boat, isn't it?

Now I need you to come with me.

- Get off my boat.
- That's not happening.

- Ronan was looking for a fight.

Goad me about his kid,

said the whole island
was laughing at me about it.

He thought it was funny!

I just wanted him to stop talking.

- Well, drowning him
in a freezer, it'll do that.

- I said get off my boat!

I'll have yours then!

- Aye, ya b*stard!

MICHAEL: Salty!

I'm coming for you, hold on!

SALTY: Don't let him take it!
MICHAEL: He won't.

- Three for the island boat tour, please.

SALTY COUGHING

- So it's a boy then?
- Yep, your boy.

- Your wife was amazing, apparently.

Should have learned from
her how to deal with the hard stuff.

- Can I, can I see him?

- It's not possible.
- Please.

MICHAEL: You might get a prison visit.

- He shouldn't be without a dad!
- Well, that's on you.

- In 1984, Winston loved Julia.

He really did.

But he was told she'd betrayed him.

And faced with his worst
fear, he betrayed her right back.

It saved his life, but it crushed
him from that moment after.

Which is how this guy's
gonna feel when he realizes,

he doesn't get to raise the
kid they wanted for so long.

MORGAN: What's up?

- I've decided to trust you.

You can go to the eco resort, but
you have to call home every night,

and I'm not ruling out
sending up a SWAT team.

- Thanks, did Jake change your mind?

- Uh... no.

- Michael.

- Hey, well thank him from me.

I won't let you down.

- Do you need this?

- No, I'm okay.
I'm taking the car.

- Oh, just as well, because
this isn't a parachute.

It's full of the pilot's stuff.
- What?

Um, thanks- for the advice- with Morgan.

- Anytime.

HELICOPTER ENGINE STARTING UP

PILOT: Confirm flight
clear to 1,000 feet.

Two passengers on board,
heading outbound 225.

ANNIKA: Chapter 2.
JAKE: AH, sorry to interrupt,

are you gonna tell me
the whole plot of 1984?

- Yes, I am.

But I can tone down the
funny voices if you like.

I definitely need to
get to the Room 101 bit.

It's the best bit.

- So if your Room 101 isn't heights,

helicopters, or birthing
strangers, what is it?

- No, no, no, the room's
gone, 'cause I've discovered

the best strategy to
deal with your greatest

fear is to, you know,
you face it head on.

Go all in-- only way.

- Suppose it works up to a point.

- Hello! Help me with my luggage?

- Is that your dad?

- Guess Room 101's back.

Okay.
