- This arrived. Can I open it?
- Not til your birthday.

- Are you pining for Jake?
- What? No.

This is my face for profound
thought, often results in poetry actually.

- Here"s hoping.
- Mm.

Plus, a case came in last night.

If I split up with Erin,
I'd definitely be pining.

It's an old Norse word meaning
suffering torment and agonising pain.

I'm sure it's that kind of
sparkly chat that keeps it fresh.

Get in the car, I'll give you a
lift.

There was a detective called Annika
whose daughter was always ahead of her.

She called her a word, the origin
heard from the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

See? Was thinking of poetry.

Season 01 Episode 06

Episode Title: "Episode #1.6"
Aired on: Sept 21, 2021.

In Twelfth Night,

Viola sales in to a storm so
violent

that her brother,
who"s clinging to a mast,

is swept out to see.

Viola herself washes up
alive on the shore,

but she has to ask
one of her fellow survivors:

"What country friend is this?"

In our case, it's Scotland

on the Glasgow Docks.

And this Viola was dead long before
she could even ask the question.

Thank you.

Discovered by the captain of a
tugboat.

He stopped it drifting further.

- So we just have a name, right?
- Viola McCaskill.

Yeah. And this is who
she's got as her next of kin.

Oh, no.

Is this where you tell me
to make friends with Jesus?

No. Can I come in for a
minute?

- You do this kind of thing every morning?
- Aye.

I keep it simple in the week.

I need to talk to you
about the victim last night.

Hang on a sec.

Mum says stop fiddling with
the taps.

She's in the shower.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Bye.
- Bye.

She's the youngest one. Forget
her name.

Viola McCaskill was pulled
out of the water at the docks.

Oh, no!

What happened to her?

A big cut in her head.

She's got your brother down
as next of kin.

He"ll be ripped up.

I'm really sorry.

She was so perfect for him,
kept him level.

That"s her on the board there
with Adie.

Can I go over there with you?

I'll just be there as a brother.

Okay.

Be a good one though.

Erm, alright I get my...

Why didn"t you
tell me you'd broken up?

Ah, you'd have taken me
hiking or something.

Did she give a reason?

Ah, she decided
that it"d run its course.

Had she started seeing someone
else?

I dunno. Jeez Mike, kick a
man!

- You know I have to ask this
- I was here last night,

I was asleep on the sofa.

You didn"t leave the house at
all? The pub"s just up the road.

- I don"t go every night.
- Mm.

- You used to be the last one standing.
- Yeah, til a fight broke out.

Wait, that was me back in
the day, I - I'm not that guy now.

No one"s saying you are.

Well, what was that then?

Well, it's what gets brought
up

when a woman is m*rder*d, Adie.

Can I have a word, Michael?

So, you'll need to step off the
case.

- You know him as well.
- Why don"t you step off the case?

See? You're already
letting it get in the way.

Letting what get in the way?

He couldn"t have put
a cut in her like that.

- Okay. He's an ex-partner.
- Er...

His alibi"s weak,
and we"ll need to look at him,

and I don"t want you anywhere
near that.

Or me, while I'm doing it.

I can tell when you're lying

and there's no way you
were on that sofa last night.

Viola McCaskill, 42
years old. The cut to her head

k*lled her caused by a large
blade, either a hatchet or a cleaver.

She was in the water for about
two hours,

so she"d have been k*lled at
around 8 p.m. Possibly earlier.

SOCO can't find any evidence

she was k*lled at the water"s edge,
so they're searching the wider area.

What else do we know about
her?

Born and bred in Glasgow. She's
got a sister overseas. She was a nurse,

until about two years ago when
she started up her own business.

It's a wee up cycling vintage
shop. After she split up with Adie,

- she moved in to the flat above.
- We've got a report

of a domestic disturbance
about three weeks ago.

A neighbour heard Adie
trying to get in to the flat.

No action was taken,

just words, but not very nice
ones.

He didn't mention that.

He works at the docks,
he'd know all the blind spots.

And, he's got a PC for
as*ault.

Michael must be tearing his
hair out.

I've asked him
to step down for a day or so.

He can still work cases, but
don"t get him involved with this one.

Let"s just follow the evidence.

So, docks for you, I'll see if SOCO are
any further with finding the crime scene.

And we"ll take Viola's shop.

It's on St Jude"s Street,
Patron Saint of Lost Causes.

Well, she did hook up with
Adie.

The theory is the body
was brought here in a car.

Body in a boot?

Looks that way. Tore a bit of
her dress as she was taken out.

No sign of her shoe.

Got a wheel locking nut as well.

From a VW or a Vauxhall.

You"ve got locking
nut patterns in your head.

Hasn"t everybody?

Gotta go, Michael"s calling.

Yeah. Hey, careful with that.

I know.

- Michael?
- Adie"s offered up an alibi.

Can I pass it on to you?

That was quick. I just rang
you.

- Really?
- Annoying little break-in.

Not sure we need detectives.

Hardly anything missing.

How did they get in?

Forced the door at the side.

I think a medal might"ve gone.

Viola could tell you, I"m just
part time.

I've called her twice.

- What's your name?
- Kate.

Gotta say, this is the most
excitement I've had in this shop.

Viola"s dead, Kate.

Oh my God. Like k*lled?

Did you see her yesterday?

God, I hope it wasn't her ex.

Why do you say that?

Only time she got me to lock
the door was when he turned up.

Some people don"t know
when it's over, do they?

No. No, they - they don"t.

Might have the scene.

It's outside the back door.

Could you dig out a bit more
information on that medal?

Yeah. Sure. Erm

Some splashes of
blood.

Maybe she disturbed the burglar.

No, 8 p.m."s kind of early
for a break-in.

- Yeah, but it's pretty quiet here though.
- Mm.

And not much blood for a
machete attack.

Unless he got her away quickly.

- I'll get SOCO out.
- Just try and get her laptop too.

Sorry, could you keep back?

Erm, the medal was a Military
Cross, Second World w*r.

Viola bought it in a house clearance,
but owner wasn't happy about it.

Mhm. Have you got a name
there?

Erm, Gurpreet Mattu.

- Excuse me.
- Yeah.

- Gurpreet Mattu?
- Through there.

Stop! Police!

Why do they run?

He's heading for the car park!

- Lift!
- That way, you go that way!

Hey. Okay, okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it easy.

I'm not giving up the medal,

so I need you to leave!

Like, drive away and I'll get
down!

That"s how we're doing this!

Well, that"s excellent.

Oh, so high.

Oh. Yeah.

Here.

I'm listening.

Go ahead.

It was my granddad"s medal.

He went in to a home and it got
caught up in a house clearance.

That woman said she"d paid for
it.

And would only hand it over
if I bought it off her.

So I took it.

Call it theft if you want.

- But I don"t see it like that.
- Uh.

Okay. That woman

was m*rder*d the night you broke
in.

Yeah. Well, I don"t...

Hey, I don"t know anything about
that.

- There was blood at the scene.
- Yeah.

Well, it's mine.

I cut my hand smashing the
glass!

And you've also got a lot
of cleavers in your kitchen.

I went over at midnight. I
was in and out. I didn"t see her.

I didn't hurt anyone.

So, er...

Why don"t er...

Let"s get down,

both of us, yeah, to - to erm...

To sea level

And erm... We - you
know, we just talk about it.

Nah.

Nah.

What was it for?

The medal.

He went back for an officer.

Carried him off the field
even though he never knew

the body on his back was alive
or not.

Uh.

Explosions everywhere.

Kept him sheltered til help
arrived.

That"s very brave.

You don"t want a tourist buying
that.

Hm?

Okay.

I'm coming voluntarily.

Oh.

I'm not having anyone
accuse me of m*rder.

Mhm. Mm.

Come on, mate.

Just...

Oh.

Yeah. Just give me a sec.

I'll take you back
with us.

Yeah.

I'm coming.

Whoa.

Are you Taylor Mathie?

Pick up the pace, you wasters!

I'm not seeing any sweat!

Michael said you'd be shouting
at kids.

Rapunzel sent you, did he?

Just want to know if you were
with Adie McAndrews last night.

Has he got himself in to some
trouble?

It's a simple yes
or no question, Taylor.

Is that why Mikey"s not here
flashing his badge himself?

His wee brother"s been a naughty
boy?

Adie said
he was working from about seven?

Took some coke.

- Well, doesn"t Adie say a lot.
- Is it true?

No.

Haven"t seen him for months.

You're right, that was a simple
question.

Now I've got two different
stories about last night.

I was with my mother.

You can check.

She's got shingles. Poor dear.

Are we done?

Okay! Time up!

That was pathetic!

I felt bad. I mean,

not like it was the Empire State
Building.

- I - it's an evolved navigation instinct.
- Vertigo?

Yeah, it's where your brain
exaggerates height

to minimise the risk of a
dangerous fall.

It's self-preservation, you
should feel glad you"ve got it.

Right. So I'm - I'm going to
need you constantly available

to put that kind of spin on my
neuroses.

Good.

The restaurant manager
says your man Gurpreet

was in the kitchen til midnight,

which checks out, but he
had a break around six-ish.

- For how long?
- An hour.

It could just about work
with the time line.

We"ll see if his blood matches
the blood found at the shop.

If the only blood
is his then we still haven"t got

the crime scene.

Do you get anywhere at the docks?

Wheel nut along with the track
suggest

it's a Vauxhall that drove the
body there.

Adie"s the registered owner of
one,

but he offered up his old
mate Taylor Mathie as an alibi.

Did you get that from Michael?

Yes, but it's no help.

Taylor was with her mother all
night.

Mother confirms.

So either they're lying or
Adie"s lying.

Well, he's already lied to us
once.

Anything on the victim"s
computer?

She was lively on social
media, and in to online dating.

Quite active. Playing a few
at the same time. Men and women.

Adie would've struggled with
that if he knew she was moving on.

- But he said he didn"t know.
- Which...

might be another lie.

Okay.

Let"s bring him in.

And how"s Michael about it?

Split in two.

Well, he likes things

clearly defined.

You seen his house?

It's like a magazine feature
for stable families.

Well, it's what he needs.

How are you handling it?

All right, I think.

Cos when a case gets close
and you're the one leading,

sometimes your legs go.

Has that ever happened to you?

Yeah. But I just bottled it up
and pushed harder.

Have you got someone to talk
to?

Yeah. Yeah, don"t worry.

We think he's jumped ship.
His flat"s empty and his car's not there.

What? You think Adie"s here?

- Do you wanna search the place?
- Don't be like that.

- Taylor didn"t give him an alibi.
- She's a liar.

She always lies and she"ll have
got her mum to do the same thing.

You need to know how to talk
to her.

She does know and we're
checking, but if Adie calls then

I've left him 20 messages.

- What do you want from me?
- Okay. Keep your hair on, Rapunzel.

- Sorry I snapped at you, mate.
- Who told you about that?

- Hm.
- About

- Rapunzel?
- Mm.

Got it from Taylor.

That cannot get out. Okay?

Then let"s see how nice you
are to us.

- We"ll see ourselves out.
- Yeah.

And we didn"t get any eggs, I
notice.

Okay. Remember that time

I let you sing it to the end
and you burst in to tears?

Yeah, it's an emotional moment,
and this one"s more than ever.

16! Brink of adulthood.

I know. I can join the army.

Yeah, it doesn't necessarily
mean you have to.

And I can fly a glider.

I can change my name and I can
get a passport without your consent.

Yeah, I think you might be
15 actually. Just let me check.

- That"s lovely. And some money?
- Mm.

Thanks, mum.

Sorry.

- Bank transfers make me really emotional.
- Oh, I bet.

So I'm picking up the cake
today. And we"ll open gifts later,

Meantime we can enjoy

delicious eggs on crackers!

Actually, I was gonna meet
Erin later.

Do you mind?

God no! Not at all.

We're still looking
for Adie"s car

we're tracking his credit card,
but nothing yet.

Look at old contacts,
and places he knows.

He acts emotionally so,
won't have a thought-out plan.

And Gurpreet"s in the clear.

There's only traces
of his blood at the shop,

and he spent his hour off
seeing his grandfather.

So, we still don"t have the
crime scene?

The tech guys have dug out

a dating site chat between Viola
and a woman called Leila.

The victim arranged to meet her at 8 p.m.
at Finn"s Bar the night she was m*rder*d.

She has a connection with this
place.

Okay. Tyrone, let"s get some
ink.

Just coming to see you.

Yeah, I'll be there in a sec.

Feel free to play the Nordic
folk tapes.

I will definitely do that.

- You bearing up?
- Aye, thanks mate.

So, Adie"s hiding cos he's
scared.

Straight in. Straight in with
a thing we can't talk about.

- I'm just trying to help you here.
- Do you know where he is?

- I'd tell you if I did.
- So, how are you helping?

All you"ve done is send us
to his football mate

- who"s just made it even worse.
- Come on. You know Adie.

You"ve drunk with him, you've
done bloody karaoke with him.

That"s a different
criminal investigation.

It's a m*rder charge he's facing,
you just dance away with it...

I do not dance away from things,
things they dance away from me.

I'm trying to keep our family together
which might seem an alien concept to you.

I'm trying to be a good
detective

which might also be
an alien concept to you.

- Have you found the k*ller?
- No, because someone

keeps getting in my bloody way!

Right. Well, not anymore. Go
on.

Catch the k*ller with the complete works
of Chaucer or whatever it is this time.

We need Adie to come in.

Do you know? And it's
Twelfth Night this time! Actually.

It's really loud.

Have you got any?

- I"ve got this.
- It looks like a leaf.

- Yeah.
- Is it for luck?

If it is, I want my money
back.

You don"t need luck anyway. Just
need the right people around you.

Including Michael.

Mm. You heard that did you?

I don"t like it when mum and
dad fight.

It's all right. It's not your
fault.

Then is this a good time to
tell you I broke your tape player?

- Wait, what?
- Really?

Are you Leila?

Oh, hell. Not again.

Again?

So you came?

You on your own or have you
got sn*pers on the rooftops?

I know how many showed up

by the number of red dots
I can see on your head.

Look, I shouted at Annika today
defending you and I didn"t have anything.

No evidence, no argument,
just that you were my brother.

- Wasn't that enough?
- Well, for me, once maybe.

But for a m*rder enquiry, no
chance.

- Taylor never backed you up.
- Aye, I know.

The weasel. Whatever happened to
loyalty?

It gets stretched to the
limit, Adie.

Well? Why didn"t she?

Listen, okay, okay.
You don"t wanna tell me, fine.

But tell my team. Cos you're
in a whole load of trouble.

And if you didn "t do it, they" ll
need to clear it up. I can't.

I mean meeting by mum"s bench
was a pretty low move.

sh*t.

What is your name then
if it's not Leila?

Freddie. And I've never been
on a dating site.

It's a scam. I told your
cyber boys about it, what,

six months ago? But it was a
dead end.

How did you know it was
happening?

Poor bugger who got fleeced did
what you did and image searched me.

Told me I'd ruined their life.

Taking money, arranging meetings
and bailing on them.

I thought it"d stopped.
Guess it's back on.

Why do you think you got
picked?

Look at me.

I mean, you would, wouldn"t you?

So, where were you two nights
ago?

I wasn't even in Scotland.

Got a client down in London,
work on her every week.

I don"t know. Viola was it the
victim?

Never met her.

Okay. Well, we"ll leave you
alone.

Hope you stop her this time.

Hm.

We've got the
m*rder scene. Finn"s Bar,

forensics are on site.

Someone was waiting
for her or had followed her.

Picked their spot well.

No CCTV, but we've
got two on the approach.

Not from Adie"s house.

And handy for the docks.

If he pops up on those
cameras that"s him done.

What about Leila, the victim"s
fake date?

Cybercrime had a few
possibles,

but with this recent activity,
they think it might be this woman.

She stays on dating sites
for a few weeks.

Switches to private messages
and then disappears.

From the site"s archive we know

that she"d initiated
contact with these people.

A cab driver in Australia, mother
in South Africa, a bank in the US.

All English speaking,
so she can call them.

There's also this guy in Glasgow,
he's got a place by the river.

Lee Tanner. And of course,
there's Viola.

Also Glasgow.

Yeah, well, she's dead. So do
we know if the others are okay?

We"ll check the overseas ones
but,

it's worth starting with him.

Now you get on to the CCTV
at the crime thing. I'll visit Lee.

Hm, via the bakery.

Is she getting us pastries?

Morgan"s birthday cake.

Oh.

DS Clarke.

Thank you.

Adie"s just walked in.

So, meanwhile in Illyria,

Viola pretends to be a boy
so she can get close to a duke

who"s in love with another woman
who then falls in love

with Viola"s twin brother,

because well he looks like the
boy his sister is pretending to be.

I mean it's supposed to be funny

and I think at some point
I would find it funny.

Just not today.

Hi. DI Strandhed.

Happy to find you alive.
Can I have a word?

She was k*lled near your
house. Dumped near your workplace.

You did a runner and you
can't account for any of it.

- I was with Taylor, like I said.
- Taylor denies it.

She"ll get what's coming to
her.

You gonna dump her in the dock
too?

- I didn"t mean that.
- Don't you?

You"ve got a temper. Done time
for it.

- Just need the right trigger.
- Yeah.

And Viola leaving you and
dating someone else would be it.

We've got SOCO all over Finn"s
Bar.

We've got the locking nut from the
docks which fits the wheel on your car,

and we've got forensics
looking in your boot.

They won't find anything.

And I've gotta say, all the
other stuff

is pretty bloody circumstantial an"
all, which is what you should be saying.

Are we done here?
Cos I shouldn"t have come in.

You came in because you
did something that night.

I don"t think
it was k*lling your ex-partner.

Your loyalties are split, we get
it.

We're just saying, Adie,

you don"t have to be accountable
for anything you didn"t do.

So, what do you do here?

Repairs. Trade a bit of metal.

There's a lot of salvage in at
the moment.

Even things like that?

Decommissioned,
I use it as a paperweight.

What's this about?

Leila.

- Is she all right?
- Has something happened?

She's not real, Lee. I'm
sorry.

- What do you mean?
- She's a fraudster.

Her profile picture is actually

of a tattooist in the city.

Of course she's real. We talk,
we talk about everything.

It's a romance fraud.

She has a few people on the go,

including a woman
who was m*rder*d two nights ago.

I'm here because we need
help finding her, Lee.

I know this is hard.

Have you given her money?

- Some.
- Mm.

- How much?
- Well, she needed it.

How much, Lee?

Six, maybe seven grand.

Oh.

So maybe we could take
those payment details.

How did she communicate with
you?

- Through the dating site.
- And we spoke too.

- How could we do that if she's not real?
- Have you met her?

We were arranging to meet.

But she's got responsibilities,
she's looking after her mother.

She agrees to meet lots of
people. She never shows.

We were arranging it today.

Hm.

Would you be willing to take that
call? We could track where she is.

You"ve got authorisation
for that trace Annika wanted.

Great.

Leila calls Lee through the
dating site so it"ll be an IP address,

but that"s enough to trace her
location.

Mhm.

- What about the Adie interview?
- Him and Taylor were off their heads

and drove to an off-licence where Taylor
pulled out a knife and robbed the place.

It took Addie by surprise,

but he didn't stop it from
happening and he drove them home.

He"ll get done for that
but he's clear for m*rder.

So, does it mean
this trace is our only lead?

At the moment, yes,
she is.

Let"s hope it's a good one.

Standing by boss.

It's called a er... petard.

In Shakespeare, interesting
word.

Comes from the erm, Latin,

meaning to break wind.

May have got that wrong.

- Are you talking to me?
- No, no.

I'm commenting on Lee"s
paperweight.

Thank God for that.

So you wait til I give the
signal.

- Ready on this end.
- Okay.

Hi, Leila.

Hi, that's a relief.

I was worried my big man
wasn't going to pick up.

Why wouldn"t I?

Cos I always worry
that you might get bored of me.

Especially after the mess-up
the other day.

I sorted that, I told you.

Oh, you're such a rock, Lee.

I don"t know what I'd do without
you.

Have you fixed that hull
you were working on?

Today. So maybe we can meet
up?

- I would love that.
- When?

I really want to do it this week,
but mum"s taken another turn.

I need some home care to make it
happen.

- Right.
- You okay, Lee?

I know it's been difficult.
How about I try

and get some help then

it will ease the pressure here
and I can see you?

What kinda help?

Well, there's an agency who
can come in

and do care and some cleaning,
but it's quite expensive.

- I'll need to find another grand.
- And you want me to help?

- I know it sounds
- Address coming through.

I see it now.

Mhm.

- You want the best for us.
- Right, Lee?

- We got it.
- No.

I want you to die in a ditch!

Oh, for f Ugh!

- Okay, Lee.
- Look what she did to me!

You did really well.

Sick mother, for Christ"s
sake!

What - what was
the mess-up that you sorted?

Things I did for us - for her!

Whoa! Okay, I - I know, I
know

And none of it was real!

Blair, are you still there?

- What's going on?
- Listen, I'm gonna need

Call her back!

There's no answer.

I'll get Force Control
to coordinate the response.

Is mum about?

What's happened?

Get Michael back.

Hello!

Can anyone hear me!

Hello!

Hey!

Uh, oh, ow.

Okey.

Oh. Ow.

Oh it's - it's a car.

Heh, it's just a car.

It's - it's my car in fact. Uh.

- Hey!
- Shut up! Just shut up!

- I'm not stupid.
- I know you're not.

So what's going on?

Okay. I'm gonna tell you what we do
know because we don"t know all yet.

Your mum is with a suspect

and we lost communication
with her. We're trying to find her.

A m*rder suspect?

Yeah, but we've got
officers at the scene,

we've got Force Control
sending up helicopters.

I"ve just been briefed. Are
you okay?

No.

Just sit tight, we"ll find
her.

Can I grab you?

I'll be back to sit tight with
you.

Okay, what have we got?

So Lee"s our k*ller,
we've got his dating profile,

I managed to pull his messages to
Leila, who found that she made a mistake.

She sent him a message
that was meant for Viola

who wanted to meet her in a bar.

Now, she had no intention of
going, that"s not how it works,

but Lee sees the message and he
kicks off.

Leila explains it to Lee by
saying that Viola"s hassling her

and that she wishes she was
gone.

Lee takes her for her word
and intercepts Viola at the bar?

Kills her,
tells Leila that he's sorted it

and they smooth it over online,

then Annika rocks up a few days after
and tells him that his lover isn't real.

So what's he doing now?

He will have flipped
like he did last time.

Taken Annika and gone after
Leila now he knows where she is.

The unit"s on their way.

Officer, in the boot!

No one can hear ya!

It's very difficult
to talk like this, Lee.

Everything that happened
was her fault, it's not mine!

There's er, there - there's
this duke

in Twelfth Night who threatens
to k*ll

- Shut up!
- His love rather than

- Shut up!
- Er, let her be with someone else.

People should just be
who they say they are.

- Yeah, but he...
- he doesn"t in the end though.

- You don"t have to either!
- Don"t tell me what I have to do!

- Team to control.
- Team to control.

Lee got here before us.

Worst comes to worst Morgan"s
dad

will have to look after her.

Or rather,

he"ll have to become aware
of her and then look after her.

He"ll be fine.
Once he gets over the shock.

My daughter"s birthday today,
Lee. 16.

She's got a lot on her plate
but she's a lovely girl.

Got some chocolate cake so,
you know, just... help yourself!

Yeah, sorry, the - the tape
player might be broken.

We've got
officers with the body.

But we missed Lee.

Confirm m*rder weapon
is still at the scene.

The helicopter"s in the air,
Force Control will confirm

but it looks like the
car"s on the coast road.

I'll take the rib.

We're in the vicinity
of the coast road.

He's already k*lled twice, he's
raging and he's got a grenade.

God knows what else.

But you were about to say
something positive, right?

There's the bit at the end
of Twelfth Night

where all works out, you know.

Car approaching dock
area.

All units, suspect spotted
heading towards the dry dock.

We're on his tail.

Everyone gets what they want
and it's...

it's happy ever after.

All units,
in progress,

suspect approaching.

No! No! No!

Driver failed to
stop.

Car now approaching dock at high
speed.

Urgh!

Been a bit frantic,
hasn"t it, Lee?

How about we calm it down?

Stop talking!

You're always talking!

Why do you have to talk all the
time!

Advise all units, DI Strandhed
is in the boot of the car.

DI Strandhed
has been located in the vehicle.

Hello.

My name"s Michael.

I'm not armed.

I'm just gonna approach, okay?

- Stay where you are.
- Just relax. It's fine.

Okay, why don"t we...

Why don"t we put that down?

Every day I ask myself:
"Shall I pull out this pin today?"

You"ve gotta have
a good reason not to.

I did for a bit.

I get it. I do.

No, you don't.

You all couldn"t wait to tell
me.

- Come in to my place laughing about it.
- I promise you no one was laughing.

Especially not the officer
that"s in the boot of the car.

So why don"t you just let her
go,

and you and I can talk?

- So that"s it, is it?
- It's her you care about?

Yeah, I do.

We all do.

So if we see her walk away,

there"ll be
a lot of happy people out here.

Nah.

I'm doing you a favour, mate.

It's okay.

- Thanks, mate.
- Oh, you can't have a drink.

Er, not with concussion,
apparently.

Look, go home if you want to,
it's been...

You don't have to stay.

Rather be here.

My family will ask me how my day"s
been and I wanna put that off a bit.

Yeah.

Ah.

Just letting Erin
know everything"s okay.

And it is. It is.

So let"s get a table.

I've sorted out a cake for
her.

It would've been easier for you
if my brother had done it.

Mm. I'm glad he didn"t though.

I'm sorry I got in to a fight
with you about it.

Well, we've fought before.

We knew how to get past it.

But we can't get past it
that way now though. Can we?

No, best not.

Scariest thing in that boot?

Thinking she"d be alone.

Does she ever talk to her dad?

No.

Pork pie. Nice.

- Take it to her.
- Okay.

Hey, happy birthday!

Happy birthday.

Okay, one try.

- Happy birthday.
- Cheers!

Although she's talking to him
now.
