01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

- Oy!

- Oy, youse, come here.

It seems that your husband was

helping himself to my money.

£28 million in total.

We know that you were part

of an orchestrated attack

on a man called Jared Noble.

Didn't know it was going

down till it happened.

- A mate just said he needed some bodies.

- What mate, Connor?

Everyone calls him Tab. I

don't know his real name.

A kitchen knife, same as Noble.

The other lad - Connor Ridley

- seems he's disappeared.

Could be someone tying up loose ends.

That street's just around

the corner from a hotel -

the same hotel that was on

Jared's credit card statement

the date this footage was taken.

You need to speak to your

dad if you're struggling.

Mum, I'm CEO. I'm not gonna run to

Dad every time there's a problem.

What does that mean,

"missing, presumed lost"?

Is it missing, or is it lost?

Aaron was talking about a

delayed shipping container.

He left this on the desk

and I took a photo of it.

At the moment, that woman is

a valuable source of intel,

so what she does or doesn't

believe cannae be my problem.

Withdrawals from Previte Holdings,

all made payable to the

same chain of auction houses.

I'm just I'm calling

all these private dealers

to find someone Jared worked

with, but no-one'll call me back.

I'm sorry, can't help you.

Jared stole money from me,

and if he bought something,

then he bought it for you.

Jared had someone else.

There was another woman.

He bought earrings and hotel rooms.

Keith Davies here, Venwell Shipping.

If I were you, I would ask your

client to check the departure bay.

Ten to one it's still

just sitting there.

Oh, look, look, it's Mummy!

Oh, we thought Mummy

had got lost, didn't we?

Where's Mummy been

all day? We don't know.

I think you two should get in the bath.

- Ah!

- Is it bath time?

- I don't wanna go in the bath.

- Come on, it's late.

- Let's go.

- All right, go and get clean.

- Fine.

- Bath time.

Go up to go and get clean.

- Come on, then.

- Night-night.

So where have you been all day?

I found the antiques dealer.

I went to speak to him.

He didn't tell me anything.

He was banging on about confidentiality,

but I know that he was the one,

'cos he recognised Jared's name.

- Give me the details. Does he have a name, an address?

- Yeah.

His name is Gregor Beaumont and

he's got a shop in the New Town.

Next time you go rogue

and decide to meet someone

by yourself, you ask me.

I just thought you'd

want me to get on with it.

You ask me.

Understood.

I've got some business

I need you to look at.

Aaron will pick you up tomorrow.

I called again this morning.

Shipping guy's got the message,

he's just he's on a site visit today.

Well, if he doesn't call

you by the end of the day,

- you'd better get down there.

- OK.

What are we doing? Where are we?

It's my girlfriend's shop.

Hi.

- Lexie. Manda.

- Hi.

Hi.

Is that what you're wearing?

Well, I can get changed.

It's too late now. We've gotta go.

Hi, this is DC Khan calling

from the Economic Crime

Unit for Mr Gregor Beaumont.

Can you call me back

when you get this, please?

It's vital that I get hold of you.

- Morning.

- Hi.

Was actually your turn,

not that I'm counting.

Sorry.

Thanks.

You all right?

I think I may have

put someone in danger.

- Can you fix it?

- I'm trying.

Come on.

- What's going on?

- Site visit.

Treasurer for the community group

doesn't know his arse from his elbow,

so as our acting accountant,

Dimitri needs you to

go through their books.

Well, does it have to happen in person?

- You got a problem with that?

- No.

- Good. Get on.

- OK.

- Aaron?

- Yeah.

What's the score with these containers?

It's fine. Talked to the shipping guys.

Exciting, isn't it?

Erm I wanted to say

I'm so sorry about Jared.

He was a really nice man.

Thank you.

- What is she doing here?

- I've no idea.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah, just, er, waiting on a call.

- George.

- Mr Monk!

- How are you?

- Welcome back to the Eris Arms.

We've a buffet lunch

laid out, as requested.

Oh, wonderful.

- Thank you.

- Please, come through.

- No-one has any allergies, I

hope? - Oh, I don't eat dairy.

- Since when?

- Since about five years ago, Dad.

You could have a Scotch egg.

Yes, I could. Thank you.

- Pass us a plate.

- Sure.

Take it you'll be knocking

this place down, then.

I think the owner might have

something to say about that.

Yeah, but if you're the landowner,

that makes him your tenant, so

Yeah, but I don't own the whole island.

- You don't?

- No.

I'm just a silent partner.

In fact, if you look at the paperwork,

this island belongs to the community.

Oh, right. Oh, didn't realise that.

It's like I've always said: it's

minimum outlay, maximum return.

You know that.

Malky!

Mr Roberts? Archie Brown.

Hope you didn't have far to come.

Right, Lexie, let's get

on with this, shall we?

OK.

- I can't keep my hands off

- Right. You got the map?

- Er, yeah.

- Well, let's go.

Come on.

These hills, they mark the

edge of the laird's land,

or as it now is, our land.

Where's all the trees?

There are no trees because of the wind.

What are you talking about?

You're not getting this, are

you? Bianca, stop with the phone.

Now, you're the business brains

of the family. What do you reckon?

I don't know, Dad. I mean

Bianca Morris?

- Hello? Hello?

- Oh, for God's sake, Cal,

it's blowing a gale. Can you just

tell us what we're doing here?

This gale is worth a fortune.

- What?

- Sustainable energy.

One year from now, Connie, there

will be 50 wind turbines here.

That's two million per

annum on a 30-year lease.

- Wow.

- Exactly. You hear that? Wow.

Are you serious?

I'm deadly serious.

I thought you wanted us to live here.

Why would I wannae come and live here?

Let's go.

Yes, of course, I'm

just trying to ascertain

if there's a couple more weeks on that.

Yeah, just a just

an extension, please.

OK, thank you for your time. Thanks.

sh*t.

sh*t. sh*t.

What the hell is going on?

They're calling in the loan.

- What are you talking about?

- The bank.

They won't extend their

financing agreement.

Why didn't you say something?

Because I thought we

owned this island outright.

I thought I could use it as leverage.

OK, calm down.

OK, what does this mean?

Mum, I need help.

I know. OK.

Let's talk about this outside.

We'd better be quick. Don't

want them to leave us behind.

No, I just came in for a little

time out.

It's a lot, isn't it?

Your hair's great, by the way.

Thank you.

I was actually thinking

about going blonde again.

- Are those sapphires?

- Sorry?

Are they?

- Did Jared give you those?

- No.

They were a gift from Aaron.

I don't believe you. Manda,

were you f*cking my husband?

No. No, no, no, no.

I can explain this, but I can't

I genuinely can't talk about this now.

If Aaron hears what you're saying

You two, let's go.

Doris?

I'm in here.

You look like sh*t.

Yeah. Been to the Isle of Eris.

The where?

- Doesn't matter.

- Oh, Rowena called.

She said she will try again tomorrow.

- OK.

- And the woman from Foundation called.

She said she was aware

of your bereavement

and would like to discuss donation.

It seemed important.

If people like that call, hang up. OK?

And, er DI Royce called.

OK.

Jared's body is ready to be released.

Someone from mortuary

will call tomorrow morning.

- OK.

- You OK?

Yeah. I'm just gonna go for a shower.

Thought you would be pleased.

You should have told me

what you were planning.

I wanted everything in place first.

You know, I thought

I was losing my mind.

I thought you were pensioning me

off to some Hebridean sh*thole.

You have been shutting me

out for months now, Cal,

and then, to make matters worse,

you bring that little tart with you.

What are you talking about,

"little tart"? She's our accountant.

Her husband stole our f*cking money.

You know what? I don't

even care about that.

What I care about is Bianca.

You've given her all this

responsibility, and then you just

you just leave her to struggle.

Occupancy's down, the

grants have dried up

and the bank's calling in the loan.

- She never told me any of this.

- Well, she wouldn't, would she?

'Cos she's her father's bloody daughter.

- She has to do everything herself.

- Fine. I'll talk to her.

You need to do more

than talk to her, Cal.

You need to bail her out.

She needs quarter of a million, or

we'll be heading into receivership

before the end of the year.

It's not that simple, you know that.

The hotels, the restaurants,

that money has to be clean.

Well, a fat lot of good

that'll do us if they go under!

Stop being a sh*t father and help her!

It's no trouble.

I'll call the undertakers and

speak to the school chaplain.

Do you need me to call Jared's parents?

No, no, that's OK His

dad's already booked a flight.

Lexie?

- Ro, I've gotta go. I'll call you back, OK?

- OK.

Manda?

Did he hear us?

Is that why he hit you?

No.

He's just stressed about

work and I was winding him up.

Oh, Manda, come on.

He's not like this.

Was it about Jared?

No.

There genuinely wasn't

anything with Jared.

He was a nice guy. He

was, like, my friend.

Cal had asked him to help me

with the books for the boutique.

I don't know, Jared saw the way that

Aaron could be with me sometimes,

and he said that he didn't

want me to be in a relationship

where I felt scared.

Mm-hm.

Did he give you those earrings?

No, they were from Aaron.

Then I lost one, and I knew

that Aaron would be mad,

so Jared said that he'd

help me replace them.

- Did Aaron find out?

- No.

But about a month ago,

Aaron just lost it over nothing

and he smashed a table in my flat.

I just didn't know what

to do, so I rang Jared.

He came and got me in a taxi,

and he said that he'd got me

a hotel so that I'd be safe.

He said that I shouldn't

go back to Aaron.

I don't know, when I spoke

to him in the morning,

he sounded really upset

about what he'd done.

Manda

Did Aaron know that

Jared took you to a hotel?

Well, I told him I stayed with a friend.

What if he didn't believe you?

No, genuinely, like, there's no

way that he'd be capable of that.

Thank you. Mrs Noble?

DI Royce, I think I know

who got Jared k*lled.

I think it was Aaron Morris.

So, you're saying Aaron suspected Jared

of having an affair with his girlfriend?

Yeah, and he's really controlling.

He's, like, he's been tracking

her movements, he's been violent.

But you're also saying

there was no affair.

It-It doesn't matter!

Aaron thought there was.

You appreciate how that

makes it more difficult

to establish motive, right?

Yeah, I get that, I get that,

but it's enough for

you to investigate him.

You have the boys that attacked

him. You can just go to them.

- Yeah, well, that just got a lot more difficult.

- Why?

One of Jared's attackers -

the boy that we think

might have k*lled him -

he's been found dead.

Now, we are trying to find the others.

And if, as you say, Aaron was behind it,

then there might be a chance

that one of them will admit it,

- but if they don't

- So he's gonna get away with it.

That is not what I said.

It's what you mean, though isn't it?

Lexie, what's going on

with the shipping container?

You talked to the guy?

He's gonna look into it, but he

said they've had a lot of accidents.

He was talking about, like,

overloaded ships and bad weather

and doesn't look

good. I'm really sorry.

f*ck!

Listen, you can't say a

f*cking word about this, OK,

to anyone.

Cal, Malky - anybody.

Not a f*cking word.

Got it.

I spoke to Bianca and she

said 250 grand should cover it.

Are you sure about this? I mean,

you realise the risk you're taking?

Well, it's either that, or risk divorce.

- What's happening with Billy?

- Er, he says he'll meet you tonight.

I need you to transfer 25,0000

from my accounts to MCG,

and do it in such a way

that it's not traceable.

Just explain it all to my man, Dimitri.

What's happening with the containers?

- What do you mean?

- He's getting grief over the ETA.

As far as I can tell, it should

have arrived in China by now.

Yeah, there's There was a delay,

OK? Something about bad weather.

I don't know. It's

gonna be there in a week.

Hello? Yeah. You're talking to Lexie.

Yeah.

Hello?

Mrs Noble, I just need

to clarify something.

The payment to the

Morris Constance Group,

this should also be made

through CVB Investments,

the company used for the

purchase of the Isle of Eris?

- Is that correct?

- Is that what Mr Morris requested?

As I understand it.

Of course, for issues of security,

we wouldn't usually use an

existing shell corporation.

If that's what Mr Morris wants,

that's what you should do.

I'll take care of it, Mrs Noble.

So I've had people tracking

this bloody container

halfway around the world,

and now you're telling me it's the

wrong one? So where's the right one?

It never left Scotland.

It's sitting in Leith Docks.

And you haven't told Aaron this?

Called you as soon as I found out.

Right, well, don't tell him,

till I can get a team down there.

I'll give you a call when we're ready.

Again, I have given you what you need.

What about my family?

What about our safety?

- Yeah, yeah, we're nearly there.

- When? WHEN?

You will have it in the next 24 hours.

Do you know who I am?

- Aye.

- Did you know the man you k*lled worked for me?

No, I swear down, I didn't have a clue.

I-I just bumped into him.

That was all, you know.

Yeah, you bumped into him

so your mate could stab him.

I never knew he was gonna do that.

I lied to the police when I

said that Tab set it all up.

I mean, he did, but he was just

He was just getting told what to do.

- Do you know what I mean?

- Who told him what to do?

I've no idea. Some bigshot he'd

done a few jobs with in the past.

What bigshot?

I've no idea. I never met the guy.

Did you ever see this guy?

No, no, he just spoke

to him on the phone.

- You ever hear him?

- No.

Invoice for a helicopter

round trip to the Isle of Eris,

paid for by Isle of Eris Services,

a subsidiary company of CVB Investments.

Just look who the lead passenger was.

Can this get me an

unexplained wealth order?

No, but it's a start.

It shows a definite link

between Cal and CVB Investments,

but it's it's a process.

How long?

I-I don't know, sir.

I really needed this to work.

Picking up Aaron Morris for

this shipping container in Leith,

and now I'm gonna have to

rely on him flipping his uncle.

- He's not gonna do that.

- I know he's not gonna do that,

but what else have I got?

If you wanna start a money

laundering investigation,

what you need is proof of foreknowledge

of the criminal activity,

and you can get that, but

It has to come from Cal himself.

Yeah.

Is this real?

I told you I'd come through for you.

- Oh, my Thank you.

- You're welcome.

There's one last thing I need you to do.

Before we seize the container,

we need Cal on tape admitting

he knows what's in it.

Are you insane?

We get that, and we can bring

down him and his whole network.

It would be a tiny magnetic bug.

We will put it in the

lining of your jacket

I-I He would k*ll me

before I left the room.

Without it, Aaron does

maybe a year inside,

and Cal is still out there,

and you'll always have

a target on your back.

I have moved heaven and Earth

to make sure you and your kids are safe.

I've offered you a

new life, a new start.

Think long and hard before

throwing that all away.

I've placed the listening device

inside the lining of the sleeve.

It's pretty effective

within a limited range.

Just try and steer clear of

thick walls, metal structures,

that sort of thing. That

can block the signal.

Seriously?

Right

let's go over it one last time.

You call Cal, tell him

you need to see him.

Once you're face to face,

you have to get him talking

about that container,

and once he has demonstrated

knowledge of its contents,

call Aaron, let him know

you've located the container

and tell him he needs to

get down there straight away,

or they're gonna move

it. At which point

I text you the word "delivered".

And don't worry, we don't get

that text, we won't make a move.

That way, if something doesn't go

to plan, we don't blow your cover.

Just text the word "delivered"

the minute you let Aaron know.

Got it.

It's gonna be all right, you know.

You can do this.

Cal, it's Lexie.

Er, sorry-sorry to bother you.

I-I wanted to speak

to you about something.

Uh-huh?

Um, it's about your

shipping arrangements.

What about them?

I know that Aaron was dealing with that.

I didn't really wanna

talk about it on the phone,

so I wondered if we could meet.

I'll text you an address.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Hang on a second.

He's waiting for you in there.

Why can't I hear anything?

Something's blocking the signal.

Thick walls, no windows.

You've put her life at risk. You

should have done this another way.

What did you do with the money?!

Mr Beaumont's about to tell us

what Jared did with my money.

So what did you buy?

He bought nine exclusive pieces.

Exclusive pieces of what?

Jewellery.

How much?

Three million.

Three million each, or

three million for all of it?

Each.

Then what did you do with them?

I offered to help organise insurance,

but he said it wouldn't be necessary,

'cos he was gonna give 'em to charity.

What?

He said he was gonna

give each individual piece

to a different charity.

- Are you winding me up?

- No.

Are you telling me he gave 27

million pound worth of jewellery

to charity?

He might have changed his mind.

I f*cking hope so!

I hope he changed his f*cking mind

for your sake.

Whoever k*lled your husband

was doing me a favour.

We're gonna get the

details of every item,

lot numbers, delivery addresses,

and you're gonna find every

item that b*stard stole from me.

Charity!

UNICEF. Gave my money to charity.

I need you to go upstairs

and get as much detail

- off of that wee prick as possible.

- Absolutely.

What?

Er, Aaron was having this problem

with a shipping container, right?

It didn't arrive where it was

supposed to and he couldn't find it.

- Come on, what's happening?

- Don't know.

He gave me the details of the company.

He asked me to locate it

and I did.

And?

Well, it's still just sitting

over there on the dock in Leith.

Does Aaron know about this?

He told me not to tell you.

What else did he tell

you not to tell me?

Well, just that, but I assumed

that that's because the contents

of that container are yours.

You would assume right.

Go.

What?

Nothing.

Please tell me that's enough.

- Yeah, she got it.

- Yes!

Thank Christ for that.

Ha! Ha-ha!

So she's done, yeah? She is out.

Yeah, yeah, she'll, er Yeah,

she'll get everything she asked for.

What is it, Lexie?

I spoke to the guy from the

shipping container company.

Found your container.

Are you serious?

Mm-hm.

Never left Scotland.

Still in the dockyard in Leith.

Oh, my God!

Oh, you're a life-saver, mate.

Happy to help.

I'll get on it. Thanks.

Arsehole.

So what do I do now?

You need to make sure

she was telling the truth.

And what if she was?

Then Aaron took what was

yours and he lied to your face.

Family or not, can you

afford to let that go?

Er, pint, lager.

What have you got?

The woman on the CCTV: the

one in the taxi with Noble.

They tracked down the driver. He said

He said the woman's

name is Manda Willis.

DI Royce said she's

Aaron Morris's girlfriend.

Jared's mistress

it was Manda.

Look, I don't wanna be

the one to tell you this,

but you know how hot-headed Aaron gets.

Billy remembers Aaron

using a kid to run errands

for him a few years back.

Turns out it was Michael Tab Moray.

That's motive and means.

Aaron had Jared k*lled.

- OK.

- I'm sorry.

Yeah, that's fine.

Talk later.

How'd it go with that kid, by the way?

Was it Connor? Is that his name?

Mm. Yeah.

Yeah, it was helpful.

Is everything OK?

Mm.

Er, it's getting late.

I'm probably gonna sh**t.

Yeah.

Cheers, pal.

Won't be long.

She's done it.

Right, listen up.

Aaron Morris has now been given

the location of the container.

Get onto the team and tell

them to get into position,

but no-one makes a move

until he opens the door.

Yeah, on it.

This is ridiculous.

Morris must have found a way to

get inside without being seen.

What do you want them to do?

They've been there all night, sir.

Tell them to move in.

Jared was a loyal friend,

a devoted son,

and a wonderful father.

Everything he did,

he did for his family.

And whatever mistakes he made,

he never stopped

trying to be a good man.

People say that when you're gone,

no-one'll remember what

you did or what you said,

'but they'll remember

how you made them feel.

Well, Jared made me feel safe.

He was the love of my life

my best friend

and he always will be.

- What's going on?

- Guthrie's brought in Cal Morris.

Hm, right. Well, here's

the files you wanted.

I had to update the summary

on the Morris Constance Group.

- Why's that?

- They just declared a new investor.

- Some Dutch company.

- Dutch?

For the purposes of the tape,

DC Jibran Khan has just

entered the room at 4.15pm.

DCI Guthrie,

your accusations against my client

have never held water in the past,

and it appears this time

will prove no different.

The thing is, we have Mr Morris on tape

claiming ownership of both

the container and its contents,

which we now know to be in the region

of six million pounds in cash.

We also have a restraint

order, which means

all of Mr Morris's assets have been

frozen as we begin an investigation

into money laundering offences.

But there's one company in

particular we wannae talk about -

CVB Investments.

We have evidence that your

client used this company

to purchase a major

stake in the Isle of Eris,

while he also used this company

to make another payment -

a quarter of a million pounds

in dirty money into the account

of the Morris Constance Group -

your client's legitimate business,

which is run by his

daughter, Bianca Morris.

It's now under investigation for

money laundering offences as well.

Guess someone really

messed up there, Cal, eh?

But

you'd do anything for your kids.

And my colleague, DI Royce,

she wants to speak to you

about the m*rder of Jared Noble

and Aaron Morris, your nephew.

That it?

Show over?

No, no. It's just getting started.

Are you sure you won't

stay a bit longer?

Ah, I need to get back to Angela.

How is she?

She has good days and bad days.

The nurses at the home

are absolutely wonderful.

And, er, I've got you and

Jared to thank for that, so

'Cos you paid for the home.

Oh!

Did he not tell you?

Er

He set up a trust in Angela's name.

Purvis Foundation.

He set up several

other charitable trusts.

I believe they're in

the children's names.

Has nobody contacted you about them?

I think someone left

a message, actually.

Oh, and there's a-there's a

parcel for you on the table.

Jared sent it to me before he passed.

But, er, you will bring

the children over soon?

- Washington isn't too far away.

- Course I will. I'll be in touch.

Take care, Lexie.

You, too.

- What's this?

- Er, the compliance officer

from some auction house

was trying to reach you.

Something about jewellery,

and that the buyer donated

all the items to charity.

Everything except one necklace.

That was shipped to the States.

- Wait here.

- OK!

Hi!

Just give us a minute to

grab everything. Thank you.

Will we get in taxi?

There we go.

OK, Mummy.

We're off. Let me just put this

in first and then you jump in, OK?

Excuse me?

You dropped this.

Oh, thank you.

No problem.

Come on. In you get.

Thanks.

Sure.
