- Mum. What time is it? - It's early.
I have to work. Go back to sleep if you can.
Love you.
I'm gonna need that cup back
because it's my favourite.
Well, you can see why.
What, do you wanna arrange that now?
I mean that would make it a straight up premeditated.
A date, yeah, yeah.
We could square up to it, it's the grown-up thing to do.
What do you think?
Okay. But first let"s have a really, really serious think
about the benefits of sneaking around.
So, the classic Dionysian festival
would happen in spring
when the wine had become fermented
and it was warm enough to wear a toga or whatever.
It would last for days.
There"d be animal sacrifices,
wild dancing, gallons of booze
and an orgy behind every acropolis.
I mean, as a God, he's got a lot going for him, Dionysus.
But all that divine ecstasy
could quickly switch to brutal rage,
and partygoers might find
themselves strangled
or torn limb from limb.
Or just chucked in the Clyde,
like this one.
Mm.
The victim is Paul Gilbride, 55,
a self-made property developer
celebrating his wedding anniversary.
His body was spotted floating in the river
at around 1.20 a.m.
From the lacerations around his wrists and ankles,
it doesn"t look like he came off the boat accidentally.
Right, so who"s that?
His wife. Her best friend"s with her.
Everybody else has been bussed to the centre to be interviewed.
- Not even a death sobered them up. - Yeah.
See I don"t mind that,
cos you get different sorts of answers when they're drunk.
Hi.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like a Dionysian blessing.
We"ll be back shortly, Mrs Gilbride.
So, this is the possible crime scene.
Catering staff were in and out of here all night,
except for a period of about an hour
when the door was locked from the inside.
Which coincides with the time Paul was seen coming below deck
at around half-past-midnight.
Looks like someone wanted to make life difficult for forensics.
Mhm. And that window"s the likely exit point.
Mm.
Okay. Let "s - let" s have a look.
What we got?
Er, blood, here.
Blood.
Erm, uh.
Oh, hello.
Mm.
Gaynor, some water.
Sorry.
- Champagne. - And the shock.
It's fine.
Is there anybody who might"ve wanted to harm your husband, Mrs Gilbride?
Everybody here was a friend.
Your neighbour wasn't very friendly.
He punched Paul in the face.
Who was that?
Agamemnon Yiannopoulos. Mem.
He's always behaved like a real gentleman.
Except tonight.
There's no record of Mr Yiannopoulos being checked off the boat.
Well, he must've snuck off.
I would if I'd whacked the host.
- Auntie Gaynor. - Gio.
My son"s gonna drive us home,
- I take it we're free to go? - Uh-huh.
So, looks like the neighbour also owns a farm.
Well, I've wanted to murder most of my neighbours.
- His car is here. - Mm.
His quadbike isn't.
Ah.
And it looks like he's continued the party.
You want to play with me?
Okay, yeah. Come on then.
Come on there, Mem!
If you"ve come to stop me,
you're wasting your time.
Shots fired. Get us backup immediately.
No, I've come to talk Mem!
Are you friends of that rat?
Huh?
No. No.
I'm a police officer.
I'm here about Paul Gilbride.
A street thief has more integrity than that man.
I would've made a lot of money from my turbines.
- And he - what, he stopped you? - When your neighbour,
he comes to you and he says:
"Don" t put up the turbines on your land,
there's going to be a lot of trouble,
it's going to be an eyesore". You listen to him.
Well, he - he put up his own.
Waited for me to be out of the country for a couple of months.
I was burying my mother.
Mem, Mem, don"t! Don"t make things worse for yourself!
- He stole my deal! - If he deserved
what you did to him, you can tell us all about it,
back at the station.
How dare he? I didn"t even manage
to wipe the smirk off his face.
Yeah. He wasn't smirking when they zipped up the body bag.
Huh?
Oh, okay.
Paul"s dead, Mem.
Okay.
- So, Mem didn"t do it. - He"ll be in court tomorrow
on firearm charges but he has an alibi for the murder.
He didn"t wanna wait for the scheduled stop
after they pulled him off Paul so,
Mem disembarked via the water.
- He jumped off the boat? - Impulsive guy.
Luckily for him he was caught on quayside CCTV emerging from the Clyde
a good half an hour before Paul went below deck.
Meanwhile, the boat CCTV
is proving less fruitful.
The camera was deliberately pushed away.
Well.
Somebody didn't want to be seen.
And forensics have confirmed
Paul"s blood at the storage room
but they're not hopeful of recovering any useable DNA,
as well as the water on the floor
it was the thoroughfare for catering staff.
- What about the pendant? - It's a St Christopher,
patron saint of, well, everything.
Sailors, soldiers, bookbinders.
There's pictures online of Paul wearing it.
Ripped off during the attack?
- I'd say so. - That"s him and his wife. Gaynor.
Paul"s body seems to have been caught up in tidal currents,
suggesting he came off the boat here.
Just westward of the tidal weir.
The boat went on to make a scheduled stop half an hour later here.
Convenient moment for a murderer to make an exit.
Yeah. But only two people signed off the boat when it docked there.
Paul"s godson, Gio MacGowan
and someone called Veer who"s not on the guest list.
They got off at Mavisbank Pier.
Why would a murderer sign out?
Peer pressure.
I dunno if this is anything,
but Paul"s offices
were robbed three days ago.
Well, let"s ask his wife about that.
And someone should pay a visit to Gio,
because he was his mum"s lift home,
so it's weird he left early.
And then let"s find this other guy
who - who signed out the - Veer.
Veer.
Yeah, sure.
Now I know that meeting a guy called Mem will have given you
some kind of ancient Greek kicks
but,
you were shot at today, are you all right?
Fine. I have
access to a therapist.
- Oh. Okay, so that"s back on, is it? - Mhm.
But it's a high security clearance.
So Morgan doesn't know.
I don"t think so. Probably not.
I mean, she might"ve guessed, who knows.
He's not like this as well, is he?
A little bit.
I think you'll find it more straightforward
when someone has a shotgun on you.
So, Aeschylus wrote Agamemnon
in hon our of Dionysus as it happens,
it's about a king who murders his daughter.
Not that he meant to.
He was due to send an army to Troy,
but the Goddess Artemis wouldn"t let
the wind blow, so his ships were just
stuck in the ocean.
He gave his daughter as a sacrifice so the wind would blow, and you know,
he could go off and enjoy himself.
And in my view that"s very - it's bad parenting.
So I've thought
about this sneaking around thing now,
and I think it should probably stop.
Mum was having fun. I wasn't.
I tried to tell her I was leaving but couldn"t find her.
And when did you last see Paul?
I don"t remember. Early on.
Would you be happy for us to take your statement at the station?
Now?
That'd be great.
Well, you'll wanna take your jacket.
It's supposed to protect the wearer.
St Christopher bore the weight of the Christ child across the river
though it nearly crushed him.
So Paul was wearing the pendant that night?
He never took it off.
His father gave it to him.
Do you know anything about the break-in
at Paul"s office a few days ago?
Er, Paul said he knew
who took the money.
I was hoping I'd find you resting.
Don"t fuss, Carmela.
Paul didn"t tell the police he suspected anybody.
He didn"t want anybody getting in to trouble.
I think it was somebody he knew
and liked.
- Did he tell you who? - I've got that sedative for you.
But perhaps we could finish our enquiries first.
I thought it could be Doug Macrae.
He and Paul were at loggerheads over a bit of business.
Doug Macrae"s on the list of guests at the party.
If Paul excluded anybody
he'd ever had a business dispute with,
we"d have had no guests.
Where was this taken?
The boat we were on for the party.
You should"ve seen the leaky rust bucket that Paul bought.
We were amazed what the boys had achieved, weren"t we?
We had a guest who signed themselves
on and off the boat with the name Veer.
Do you know who that might"ve been?
I think you should go now.
You might wanna think
about what's helping your friend
right now and what isn't.
I lost my husband less than a year ago to cancer,
this woman was a rock for me then.
So you'll understand
why it's my job to protect her now.
I do. We"ll continue this later.
Why would I steal money from my own godfather?
Because he's loaded,
whereas you're still living at home with your mum.
I moved home when my dad got ill.
The money you saw is my savings to buy my own place.
Oh, your cash in hand earnings?
You just happened to be counting
through the day after your godfather was murdered.
They said to get my affairs in order.
Did you argue with Paul? Is that why you stole the money?
We barely speak to each other.
What, not even that night?
- There were a lot of guests. - But you weren"t just any guest,
your parents are best friends.
Paul wasn't a friend
that he made out to be.
How come?
Look, I just wanted off
that shitty boat.
So I left.
Okay?
You all right Mr MacGowan?
Alright we're suspending the interview at 13.00 hours.
He's gonna get the medic.
Relax, Gio. Just calm down.
Mum.
Hey. Your mum"s on a call.
Can you get this to Erin?
I'd take it myself but I don"t know how to get in touch
with her without this.
Why do you have my sister"s phone in the first place?
She left it at mine this morning.
Mum doesn"t know she stayed over, so.
I suppose my parents don"t either.
Thanks for making me an accomplice.
So, don"t arrest yourself.
Morgan, something happen?
I was missing you.
Oh, that"s nice.
I've just had to release a suspect
who we've somehow made breathless with our lack of evidence.
Okay. Well, you're busy, so...
No, that"s fine. Come on, we"ll have a chat.
I'm seeing Jake. Sort of, casually.
- Oh. - Yeah. After we bumped in to each other
at that exhibition, it wasn't entirely
my fault cos you'd left us alone.
In fact. So, in many way...
It's not fair. Erm, it's me, not
you.
Anyway, er, he - he came over
last night.
Last night?
I know. Sneaking around behind your back, it's erm
unforgivable.
It's not that bad.
Well, Jake says there are all sorts of implications
because he was your therapist.
For one week.
It's not a big deal.
So maybe, erm, we could invite
him round for dinner tomorrow.
Okay. Big moment.
Is that - is - too big, it's that too - it's too big, isn't it?
Big moment for your cooking.
Yeah, you're right.
I haven"t cooked really since the mid-90s.
When you last had a boyfriend.
Oh.
Oh, that"s so painful here.
It's harsh. It's accurate,
it's very, very harsh.
We need to see who Paul met up with over the last few days.
He had a relatively quiet week. Couple of site visits.
And Gio MacGowan? Why were they meeting?
I think it was a social thing because Paul"s wife was there too.
Though Paul was in a stinking mood that afternoon.
Did him and Gio have a disagreement?
Actually, I think he was grumpy
because Gaynor started talking about changing the party venue.
- How come? - Don't know.
Paul talked her down.
I'd have been raging if he hadn"t.
I had to organise the whole thing.
Did Paul tell you who he suspected of committing the break-in?
He didn"t suspect anyone. It was just a random theft.
Sorry about all this.
Paul just didn"t see mess.
I clean it every Monday and by Friday
it's like this again.
Do you know Doug Macrae?
No. I mean, a
bit, to say hi to.
And was there some sort of dispute between them?
I don't think so.
Hm.
Does this have all of Paul"s past contracts stored on it?
Last five years.
All right, we're gonna need to take it.
Of course. Let me just unlock
it for you.
Was this card here last week?
It's a lawyer"s card.
No. It's not the firm we use.
It's all yours.
Thank you.
Thanks for your help, Louise.
I think I may have tracked down Veer.
One of the waiters from the catering
called in sick and sent a replacement.
What do we know about him?
Caterers said he was a bit of a weirdo.
We're looking for him.
Okay. So people on the boat
that we're interested in,
replacement waiter, Veer missing,
Doug Macrae supposedly in dispute with Paul.
Although there's nothing about on his laptop.
Hang on. So, is...
- Is Doug the mug? - Yeah.
- Has anyone spoken to him? - He hasn"t been home
since the night of the party but the neighbour says
that that"s not unusual for him.
- The secretary said she knew him. - We're looking in to that.
And shouldn"t we be speaking again to Gio MacGowan?
He implied that he barely saw Paul but he was at his offices
three days before he was killed.
Carmela would have us believe that they're all one big family
but that"s clearly not how Gio sees it.
Running out of stuff here.
Well, maybe their relation shifted after Gio"s dad died,
so let"s take a look at that.
And what about the erm, the lawyer"s card?
It's a personal injury firm.
There's a partial number on the card,
so we're cross referencing Glasgow firms.
Maybe someone got hurt on one of Paul"s renovation contracts.
Or the lawyer had a premonition that Paul would be involved
in an accident that wasn't his fault.
What have you got?
A post-mortem,
cause of death
cardiac arrest.
So, he didn"t drown?
No.
But they define some water in the lungs
and it wasn't water from the Clyde.
Black fibres found in his mouth, throat and lungs
from a cloth held over his mouth.
Lacerations on his arms and legs
consistent with him being restrained.
Bottles of water at the crime scene.
Was he water boarded?
My money"s on the stapler.
Don"t feel you have to look after me.
I'll stay as long as you want.
Water boarding is calculated and precise
but this one looks kind of amateur.
I'm guessing they used
a couple of cable ties to keep him under control.
Plus he died of a heart attack during it
so they might not even have meant to kill him.
Do you think they were after information and it went wrong?
The Inquisition was the first used water boarding.
They weren"t interested in information.
Just an admission of guilt.
So you think Paul had something to confess?
Hm, haven"t we all?
My wee sister stayed over at yours the other night.
I mean, they were pretty cosy at the time, but.
Which time? What?
When they came over to mine.
But I didn"t know that they'd started seeing each other.
Right.
Er, so...
I wonder if they saw erm...
Right.
I mean I was also...
Er... Okay.
Right.
Okay.
Yes.
Yeah.
Right.
Er... That's...
Yeah.
Well, that was lovely. Very subtle.
- Thank you. - Really delicate flavours.
Again, thank you.
Very light.
- Understated. - Okay, I get it.
Consistent.
You're competing for the best way of saying bland.
Very good.
He did really well, I"ve had years of practice.
Well, that was really good, honestly. Thank you.
- Did you say there was ice cream? - There is.
- Did you make it? - I did not.
What a shame. May I use the bathroom?
First on the left.
Is this okay for you, Morgan?
He's funnier than he was in the therapy room.
So I invited him round
in the spirit of openness.
Are you okay?
I'm making a pitch for the spirit of openness here,
and I'm inviting you to be similarly
open.
- I think he really likes you. - Don't change the subject.
I've opened myself up here.
Erm, it's a cupboard.
What?
First on the left is a cupboard.
Sorry.
Hang on.
You can go in the loch if you want.
Don"t go in the loch. Hello?
We've got the waiter"s address.
Okay. Send me a text, I'll meet you there.
Slight change of plan, er...
I'm really sorry.
That's fine.
Second on the left, spirit of openness.
I didn"t work on the boat that night.
I had a stomach bug I couldn"t shake,
that"s why I offered the shift to Veer.
- Do you have an address for him? - Oh, he"s my flatmate.
There.
He's not left the flat since.
This is the police.
You need to open this door.
Want me to force it?
Er...
Uh.
There's no lock on it.
He knew we were coming.
He put up his own camera to watch the CCTV on the street.
I think it only makes sense if you do as many mushrooms as he does.
Check out the position of the street camera.
Shunted like the boat CCTV.
So what state was he in when he came back that night?
I stayed out of his way.
He can be pretty scary when he's high.
Which recently is all the time.
You might wanna take a look at this.
Veer"s internet search history.
Do you want me to explain the rules again for you slowly?
Just be clear when we're starting.
Can't say yes or no and we're starting now.
Are you a therapist with a specialism in childhood trauma?
Y you bet.
Well, you don"t have to sound so cheerful about it.
Are all the questions gonna be this personal?
Y you'll have to see.
- Have you been married before? - Once.
Is that a problem?
Not - not necessarily.
Were you mean to her?
We're still friends. Have you been married before?
- I'm 15. - Because I think you're hiding
something from your mum.
Hey, no follow-ups.
Is my mum your girlfriend?
I'd like her to be.
- Even though you've tasted her cooking? - Harsh.
Well, you"ve had more than me. And you"ve stuck around.
Do you worry about dating a detective?
I thought you said no follow-ups.
- She went to work during dinner. - She's got an important job.
- Are you okay with us being together? - I'm fine.
Is it important what I think?
Very important to both of us.
I miss talking to you, actually.
It's not the same though.
Us talking here and us talking in my office.
Feels the same.
I like it.
It can't be the same, Morgan.
Not if I'm with you mum.
You understand that?
Yeah.
Oh, I said yes.
You win.
- You cooked him what? - It's a kind of Greek stew.
Did you say what it was out loud?
No, I'd only read the recipe and I was rushed,
and - yeah.
I hadn"t really thought what it sounded like.
Kokkinisto.
I mean they covered it really well
but it was literally all anyone could think about while they ate it.
It all seemed to go on for hours.
I'm just wondering if it was worse than doing beef stifado.
God no.
So, Veer"s left us high and dry.
Except he's the one that"s high, it seems he's
he's hooked on hallucinogenic drugs
flatmate"s gonna call us at the first sign of him.
Do you think he's our killer?
I think he's taking so many mushrooms
he doesn"t seem in control of his actions.
- Are you on your boat? - Uh-huh.
I left Jake having ice cream with my daughter.
Free therapy, clever.
Listen, Doug Macrae was in dispute with Paul.
He was refusing to pay for shoddy work.
His files were deleted from his laptop the day we requisitioned it,
I think we should pay the secretary a visit.
Sure.
What did you cook for dinner?
Egg and chips.
Nice.
- Did you eat all the ice cream? - We save you some.
Has Morgan gone up to her room?
Mm. About an hour ago.
How long did you agree to wait?
Didn"t put a timescale on it.
I'm sure you'll manage, there"s lots of distractions.
Well, you didn"t kiss him.
- How do you know? - Then, why aren't you with him?
Maybe I will be now, he's free.
It's not here.
So you stole money from Paul"s safe.
Gave it to Doug. Staged a break-in
and then deleted all Doug"s files to cover it up.
It's not stealing when it's money Doug was owed.
Except you kept an extra grand for yourself.
I work hard for Paul.
Oh. A bonus.
Did Paul see it that way
when he confronted you?
He liked having one over me.
It made him feel powerful.
Did he try to sleep with you, Louise?
Paul loved his wife,
it was his only redeeming feature,
even if he had tried it I'm not that tacky.
All right.
This is a photograph of you on the night he was killed.
Can you describe your outfit for the tape?
- It's a black maxi dress. - Mm.
Black fibres were found in Paul"s mouth and lungs.
And your dress was described
as torn by the end of the evening.
Did you hold it over his mouth
as you poured water down his throat?
I could never do that.
And it would've been easier to cable tie his ankles,
the wrists, as part of the seduction,
then you'd be free to teach him a lesson.
Until his heart gave out.
We know that you were below deck
at the time Paul died.
I wasn't anywhere near him.
I can prove it.
And the reason my dress was ripped,
just let me have my phone.
Is there a name for people who go at it as much as this in public?
Er, yeah. I - I believe
they call them erm, er, young.
Veer"s shown up at his flat
and he's kicking off about the change of locks.
I'll come with you.
Syd, you open this door.
You open this door, Syd. You open this door.
Hey!
This is my home!
You made me do that shift!
Why can't you just leave me alone, eh?
Open this door!
I don"t think you're gonna get in that way.
Mind your own business.
This is my business mate.
I'm a police officer.
You should arrest Syd
- for locking me out my home. - Let"s clear this up
at the station and maybe I will.
Ugh.
I just want a quiet life.
- To be unwatched. - I hear you, mate.
I do.
Come on, we"ll talk it through and I'll get somebody
to look at that hand.
Come on, you're almost there.
It's alright.
That"s it.
No, you don"t just wanna talk!
Veer, stop!
Stop looking.
Stop looking at me.
Stop watching me.
Okay, okay, it's alright.
Take a breath.
So, the medics won't be finished with Veer any time soon.
It's not just his hand that"s messed up,
he's taken a lot of drugs.
So he admitted moving the CCTV camera on the boat?
Yeah, he's done it all over Glasgow.
He thinks he's being watched.
He denies killing Paul, but to be honest he has no motive.
Well, we're digging in to Paul"s past to see who might.
Lots of small-scale stuff
and the odd unpleasant eviction but,
nothing to warrant a water boarding.
Paul"s pendant is engraved,
the one found at the scene wasn't.
Really?
So whose pendant do we have?
Gaynor said Paul"s pendant was given to him by his father.
Maybe Paul did the same for his godson, Gio.
And the registrar emailed this morning
with Gio "s father" s death certificate.
It's a form of cancer called mesothelioma.
That"s a nasty one, that's caused by inhaling asbestos, I think.
How long does it take to develop?
Can be decades.
Mesothelioma leads to an excess of liquid in the pleura
which can make a sufferer feel like they are drowning.
So, pretty much how it might feel
to be water boarded.
I need to talk to Gaynor
and I need you to be elsewhere.
Carmela, can we have a wee chat? Is that all right?
Thanks, Michael.
Why did you tell us this was Paul"s?
There's no engraving.
- I didn"t notice. - But you did, you checked the back.
Who does it belong to?
It's Gio"s.
Paul always meant to have it engraved for him
but he never got round to it.
And where"s Paul's St Christopher?
Bottom of the Clyde.
Did Gio"s dad
help renovate Paul"s boat for the Millennium?
Was that where he was exposed
to the asbestos that caused his cancer?
Carmela and I wondered
but the men always denied it.
And what about Gio?
Did he think helping Paul with the boat was the reason his dad died?
I know it was.
But dad didn"t help Paul strip the boat.
Dad did all of it. Paul stayed well clear.
Everyone insisted the cancer wasn't caused by that boat.
Dad couldn"t accept that his best friend
would put him in danger.
I'm sorry, auntie Gaynor, but it's true.
I can't.
- There's a box in the other room... - I'll go.
I need a minute.
You were angry with Paul.
He took your dad from you.
He took more than my dad from
me.
You stripped the boat too?
No, Gio was at school.
I was suspended for fighting.
Dad said he would keep it secret
if I worked hard enough helping him.
But you're not...
No.
No, it's just the asthma flaring up, it's
I was diagnosed last week.
With mesothelioma.
My wee boy.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn"t want you to fuss over me.
The way you did with dad.
And you confronted Paul in his office?
I thought he'd be devastated.
But he was only worried whether I'd sue.
I didn't want his money.
I just wanted a lawyer to find out
if Paul knowingly put me and my dad in danger.
You wanted a confession.
I didn't kill him.
Your St Christopher was found in the room where Paul was murdered.
Gaynor"s identified it as the one Paul gave you.
I had thrown it at him.
At his office, you know, when I told him I was dying.
Really?
Auntie Gaynor knows that. She was there.
Mrs Gilbride.
You were pictured wearing a black scarf that night
but you weren"t wearing it when I met you.
I lent it to Gaynor.
She's gone.
I know where you'll find her.
After sacrificing his daughter
and winning the war,
Agamemnon stepped off that boat to a hero"s return,
all organised by his wife.
She greeted him in front of the crowds
with smiles and sweetness,
took him inside, laid on a spread
waited until he was in the bath,
and strangled him and stabbed him.
Never underestimate a wife"s capacity for revenge.
Can't see any sign of her.
Would she come here?
She tried to change the venue
when she found out about Gio.
How can you have a party on a boat that killed Gio"s dad?
And now him.
She wants this boat under the water.
I'll check downstairs.
Stay back!
Oh.
I know you hate this boat.
And all it means.
But don't do this to yourself.
Or me.
Then got off the boat!
Did you get your confession?
Did he know the boat was dangerous?
Yes, he knew. Of course he did.
You didn"t mean to kill him.
Okay, when his heart gave out.
You - you had to improvise, you're improvising now.
I loved Paul so much.
When he bought Gio the St Christopher,
I put it round his neck,
so the weight of what he'd done
to that child would crush him.
Tell Carmela I'm sorry.
Oh.
It's okay.
It's okay. I've got you.
You're back early.
You been smoking?
Um, no. Michael has.
I'm about to go out actually.
And tell me, don"t tell me, it"s fine.
It's a school thing.
Or it's an Erin thing?
I get it.
Some things are simpler when they're secret.
