Episode 3

♪ ♪ Roy took away my whole life.

I'll get you what you need.

♪ ♪ I'm a cop.

Right.

C.I.D.

Okay.

Is it a problem?

No.

Really?

SANDY: Phoenix-- it's you.

Isn't it, Roy?

ERIN: He's a poison.

I've been waiting a long time to meet someone who sees him the way that I see him.

I can see that in you.

And I think you can see it in me.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (thunder claps) (whimpers) (click) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ That wasn't part of my plan.

I'm not...

I'm just...

It was booze and loneliness, and I don't want to talk about it.

What I want to talk about is the land.

What about it?

It's a bit of a departure for him, isn't it?

I suspect that's the point.

He wants a legacy to be proud of.

Well, he's not getting it.

And if that wasn't your plan... ...then what is?

(elevator chimes) (people talking in background) (door closes) Thanks for seeing me.

Why am I seeing you?

Uh, I couldn't understand it, you going legit.

Um, I couldn't see the motivation.

But now I can.

And I'm impressed, by you.

By Phoenix.

Why didn't you ask me to help you?

Why didn't you tell me to help you?

Because it's honest.

(inhales slowly) It's too honest.

They're too professional, too precise-- there's no imagination, no... artistry.

Now, when they try and muddy the waters, I can see through it without trying.

What if the council do the same?

The press?

You can't be Phoenix.

Not in public, not in this city!

(chuckles) You cannot, surely to God, be working your way to a threat?

I'm just saying that they can't give you what you need.

The protection, the... subterfuge.

What is it with you, Max?

You're a moth to a flame.

You know Kenny.

You've seen our office.

I can't begin to tell you the... (inhales) ...detritus that walks through the door.

It's not me.

It can't be me.

Let me work for you, full-time, on Phoenix, and I can keep you invisible.

What about your partner?

(muted) him.

Thank you for your concern.

Safe journey down the road.

I saw Dad here.

I know.

I'm leaving Edinburgh.

We're not young, your father and I. I'm not young, either.

I'm running out of time to find another life.

You could find one right here.

The new development, down at Leith.

Your father and I own the land.

We hoped it could bring us together, as a family-- that's why he was here.

You and him?

Only recently, only with this.

You could build any life... How could you?

Because I didn't want to die without trying to bring us back together.

(sighs) Look... You think it was a choice.

The life your father's led.

But it wasn't.

He wanted to give us a good life.

From where he came from, he, he took the only road he could.

He's spent decades working towards this.

Working towards something to be proud of.

For you to be proud of.

If I can sit in that thing and forgive him, then so can you.

I was thinking that later, if you can handle Pilton, I could attempt a wee bit of dinner.

It's Pilton Borders, really.

Uh, can I let you know?

It depends on work.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

ROY: Hi.

MAGGIE (over phone): She wants her own lawyer.

ROY: I'll give her one of this lot.

No, her hackles are up.

She wants someone independent, and she'll check that they are.

ROY: We can't.

MAGGIE: We have to-- she's talking about leaving.

I had to work to get her to this.

We can't bring in an outsider.

MAGGIE: We need someone who looks like an outsider.

Who looks clean, and who is neither.

I've just had Max McCall in.

Now, there's a man in search of something.

He came out awful early.

ROY: I'm checking that.

If we use him, we'll need to call in the insurance.

(door closes) Jackie Thomson.

Heads up undercover.

Right.

What do you know about her?

I know what she does.

I'm working with her.

Okay.

I can't tell you too much about it.

I'd imagine not.

But, as part of our investigation, I need to pull a file without a record of having done so.

So, I'd like you to do that.

What's the name?

YVONNE: Max McCall, a bent lawyer.

He's just got out.

JACKIE: There will be a note in the file about ongoing cooperation.

Take that out and give the file to Stevie.

There's something else.

Your live address near Leith Walk?

I know someone who works there.

Kenny, from the place I go.

That could be a useful relationship.

It is a useful relationship.

Don't worry, it's his partner I'm interested in.

Who's his partner?

Max McCall.

Does Kenny know that you do this?

Thanks for your help.

No.

You're exposed.

No, Stevie is digging his grave, and I wanna help him.

That's not enough.

(stammering): If Kenny is clean and I'm careful... You'd work Kenny?

If needed.

♪ ♪ They're misty, those years.

Always will be.

But every so often, the mist clears, gives me a wee peek at something.

It's never good, right enough.

So, it took a while for the card to come through the mist.

What card?

You see, sometimes, when I was particularly drunk, I'd go to the casino in Rose Street for a late drink.

(clears throat) This casino.

And there he is.

Teddy's brother.

♪ ♪ What have you done?

I looked into it.

The old investigatory.

It's a button I can't turn off.

Jesus Christ... Just a quiet peek.

I know the security guy, threw me out a few times.

He's not a bad lad, he's just... That's the bag.

Yeah, I don't know who that one is yet, but here's what I think happened... No!

Max?

No, Kenny, we don't want to know anything about Teddy's brother.

Or what that bag's doing there, or how we fit into this.

If we don't know, if we don't lie to him, then maybe we get out of this.

We need to know what we're dealing with.

I saw Teddy put four men in hospital because they disagreed with him over the lyrics to "My Boy Lollipop."

They were his friends.

And they were right, about the lyrics.

Though I suspect that wasn't of any consolation.

He was my cellmate.

He slept above my head, and I lay there in the dark listening to him breathe, and it felt like I was in a grave and he was standing watch upon me.

That's who we're dealing with.

So we tell him we've found nothing, and we move on.

Okay?

(muted) right.

(door opens) Do you dae divorces?

Absolutely!

(door shuts) Max is clean-- there's no record of cooperation in his file.

ROY: He got out early.

STEVIE: He's a lawyer.

Zinc-- that was her excuse.

She said there was a problem at the water treatment plant in Niddrie, so they put zinc in the tap water and that played havoc with... ...men's equipment.

So, she reckons it was the zinc that reversed my vasectomy and brought about the wee man.

Nathaniel.

But now, there are a few cracks in her story.

Cracks?

Because I spoke to my GP, and he says there's nae way.

There's nae way that zinc could have done that.

Well, he knows his stuff.

I confronted her during the commercials on "You've Been Framed."

She says she wants a divorce.

So I'm gonna call her bluff by giving her one.

That sounds like a dignified way out.

Well, I'll draw up the papers, if you give me a few days.

Cheers, pal.

This is a, a huge weight off my shoulders.

Well, let's hope that's not too fleeting an experience for you.

(door opens and shuts) (cellphone ringing) Hello.

When you say "Pilton Borders"... KENNY (laughs): It's Pilton, you need to know that.

You need to steel yourself and check your travel insurance.

YVONNE (chuckles): I think I can handle it.

(chuckles): So do I. YVONNE: See you tonight.

See you tonight.

(exhales) That was Yvonne.

She's, uh... Well, we've, uh, we've got a wee thing going, I suppose.

Where does a man like you meet a woman?

She's a fellow traveler on the road to clarity.

You met her there?

I did.

The mind boggles.

Obviously, this place, what we do, is entirely confidential.

(phone vibrating) Of course.

(clears throat softly): This is just you and me, Kenny.

(phone vibrating) Leith's finest.

(door closes) Yeah.

I require a little subterfuge.

♪ ♪ (gate closes) (grunts, boxes thud) (clears throat) (breathing heavily) I had a tough night with Papillon last night.

He was trying to get to Colombia from Trinidad.

By raft.

That sounds difficult.

It's a thousand nautical miles.

It's a wee bit more than difficult.

Uh, you, you, you've actually just missed Max, he's, uh... Two months he was at it.

Lost his oars in a storm.

Used his hands as paddles till the salt cut them tae ribbons.

So, he took off his shirt and made a sail.

There was just about enough wind to keep him moving.

And there he is, two months in, thin as a rake, hands cut tae ribbons, half-dead from dehydration, and then he looks up and he sees it.

Colombia.

And right then...

Right then, the wind turns on him.

(muted) turns on him!

And Papillon drifts away, like a feather in the wind.

And I was up half the night thinking what that must hae done tae him, to watch Colombia slip away over the waves.

I've actually got to head out.

Betrayal, that's what it must hae felt like, between him and the wind.

Betrayal.

The sin of omission.

The judge said that at my trial.

He was talking about a set of skeleton keys I'd hidden in my tumble dryer, but I think it works here, too.

(stammering): But we're still working out that... Do you know what I never get?

Silence.

It's busy up here.

Always has been.

Voices, opinions.

A cacophony.

Max told me that one.

A cacophony.

Am I saying that right?

Spot on.

And right now, that lot are ganging up on you and Maxie.

If you can fit us in tomorrow, it would be a... Where's the casino?

No idea.

(chuckles) There they are again.

(quickly): Rose Street, next to Pizza Hut.

Parking's a nightmare, just stick it in George Street and... (makes sound effect): Cut through the lane.

You tell Maxie what's inside me.

That's guaranteed.

And I'm worried that this time, when it takes over, it's never gonnae stop.

It's, uh, it's only temporary.

Hm...

I grew up in a worse place than this.

How did you end up in Edinburgh?

My ex was Scottish.

Ah.

And he persuaded me to move to Edinburgh, and things collapsed nicely from there.

Hm.

How's work?

Fine-- you?

Well, today we had a guy who reckons his barren testicles have been reawakened by the water supply.

But other than that, it's mostly wills.

(chuckles): Who's we?

Max, my partner.

He's an investigator?

Uh, a lawyer, a proper one.

He runs the practice, I work the punters.

You must trust him.

Aye, more or less.

(chuckles) He cuts a few corners, right enough.

That's probably not appropriate.

I'm not here as that.

I should hope not.

Right.

(chuckles) Please.

Thank you.

(exhales) Okay, let's give it a go.

Oh, for (muted).

How did it come to this?

Between you and them?

When I was 16, my mum let me have a drink on Christmas Eve.

It didn't agree with me, so I went downstairs in the middle of the night, and I saw my mum washing blood off my dad's hands at the sink.

They looked at me, she said something about an accident, but I was looking at Dad, the guilt on his face.

He looked like a child.

And you didn't know, what he'd done?

Kids said things, the brave ones, but I just ignored them.

Maybe I would have ignored that night, too, but... A few days later, Dad's car was forced off the road.

Mum was driving.

She hasn't walked so well since.

So it wasn't hard to join the dots.

I told them I was going to call the police.

Mum persuaded me not to.

She said Dad was leaving, it was just gonna be me and her.

And, and that the police were already after Dad, some woman...

So...

I didn't call the police.

And it's just been me and her, until... Well, until all this.

That's why I want to take it from him.

His legacy.

Stolen from beneath his feet by his own daughter.

That's how it got to this.

And to you.

Safe children.

My lawyer will make contact with the Church.

The Church will make contact with you.

And you will tell them that the godless people of Leith no longer require your services.

I need to tell his family.

They're innocent.

They spent 20 years wondering where he went.

We would be voluntarily reopening a case which could send us to prison.

And as a wee bonus, opening a crime scene in the middle of my development.

Well, that's what it is.

A crime scene.

Maggie and I are taking one of the flats.

I could have chosen any one of them, and I chose one that looks right over that park.

Because I want to know that he's there.

I want to know that we put him there.

That's where I find my peace.

Well, you didn't do it.

Neither did you.

What does that mean?

You were out.

Before this.

Out of my world, and the terrible things that happen in it.

Sell us the church and stay out.

I need to tell Albert's family.

That's my redemption.

(scoffs): I can't protect you.

From what?

From whom.

It's odd, isn't it?

Doing this without a drink inside us?

Yes.

Scary.

Very.

I suppose it's going to be odd doing a lot of things without that.

Uh, yeah.

And they'll be scary, too.

Maybe better.

(chuckles) Maybe better.

And I'm sure you enjoyed doing so.

But now you're here.

And you're not going home.

We gave it a go.

I've been close for a long time.

I don't need you to be close.

Roy killed someone.

You'll have to be more specific.

Christmas Eve, maybe 20 years ago, I don't know.

His daughter knows about it.

That's what I'm working on-- every time I see her, I get a little more.

I'd need a confession or a body.

Well, I'll try and get both.

You need to focus, Max.

Two weeks.

I can't do it in two weeks.

My advice would be to stop.

Whatever it is you're doing, whatever you're hiding from me, I'll find out.

So, my advice would be to stop.

Nothing happens in Edinburgh that Roy doesn't hear about.

Hm.

We'll put you on a train back.

Nice wee journey over the bridge.

73 men died building that bridge.

The least you can do is enjoy the trip.

The seagulls made me wonder.

If maybe you're doing a bit of hiding yourself.

Everyone has a boss.

And I wonder if your boss knows about me being here.

I wonder if they know about you and Roy.

I wonder if you're worried that they will, and that's why I've only got two weeks.

I wonder if they see that Roy's inside you, like he's inside me.

With me, it's revenge-- with you?

I don't know.

But it's not normal.

This isn't normal.

Whatever Max is doing, Kenny's not involved.

I want you to look into something for me.

A disappearance, here's the name.

Pull the records, see if anything jumps out.

When?

Christmas Eve, '98.

He was last seen drinking alone in a pub in the Cowgate.

He'd retired the week before.

Social services at the council.

Before that, he taught at the children's home in Salamander Street-- the one that burnt down.

ROY: You've made your mother very happy.

ERIN: She deserves it.

Well, here we are, then.

Erin.

Max McCall.

So... (clears throat) It's a... standard agreement.

The land is held in trust, which is divided equally between the three of you.

I pay this lot enough; I might as well let them have a wee look.

Good idea.

No.

No idea.

Drugs would be the short answer.

What about you?

Well, getting served divorce papers in prison felt like a nadir.

You know, I've been thinking about you and your parents, and wondering what it was that brought you back together.

Back into contact.

The only thing I could imagine was that you got yourself into a position that only your father could help you out of.

And I wondered if you wanted to talk to me about that.

I've been thinking about you, too.

About how you want to send my dad to prison.

And I keep thinking whether or not that's something you'd be doing alone.

And I wondered if you wanted to talk to me about that.

Or... We move forward together.

The first time, he said the victim left the pub with someone else on Christmas Eve.

YVONNE: Someone the barman recognized.

YVONNE: Close-- his wife.

The barman identified Maggie Lynch, then came back the next day and asked to change his statement.

JACKIE: I'll bet he did.

I don't want to, but we have to stop.

I'm sorry, Kenny.

Sometimes he won.

A few days, the odd month.

Then it came back-- the nightmares, the fear of the dark.

I tried to help, in my own way.

Had it burnt down-- that was a birthday present.

And it seemed to help.

He seemed to have got past it.

But then that man retired, and got his photo in the paper.

And they talked about everything he did for the kids in there.

The orphans and the unwanted.

The stricken wee souls.

Then after that, well, Roy couldn't come to bed at all.

He just sat up, watching his Westerns.

That night, Roy thought the same as you.

That you were gonna talk to him, confront him.

Seek solace in a confession, but I knew that wouldn't end it.

So, before you got there, when it was just me and that man... Well, you must remember the blood.

He was dying when you got there.

What you did, Sandy, it was a mercy.

And the guilt you've carried wasn't meant for you.

It's not just him that brings the guilt.

I know.

It's me.

It's this.

That was a mercy, too.

When you drove me off the road and I woke up in the infirmary, do you know what I thought?

What luck!

What fortune!

Because they were coming for us.

The police.

She was after Roy.

And soon enough, she would have seen through Roy to me.
