00:01There are three points you have to leave in and believe not three points
00:05I will leave no points. I don't feel irrelevant three points. You have to make in order to make people understand
00:14What's funny Lloyd doesn't take any shit from anybody not even miles
00:19At least you can come in the company car. No, thank you. I prefer my own company
00:31Have you got your speech on disk Terence? You'll need it for the teleprompter. I won't be using a teleprompter Alastair
00:39It's all up here
00:41No more money, no more greed, no more money
00:51You nervous, George? Not at all, Professor Anderson
00:54I never thought I'd see you share a conference platform with Terence Lloyd again
00:58Like everyone else, I'm simply interested to hear what he has to say
01:01Oh, I imagine you're more than just interested
01:04I'll see you inside
01:06This is a big day for when boy, and we're not going to let it happen
01:12Come on
01:15No more chlorine
01:18No more greed
01:20No more 석
01:22No more glue
01:25No more equality
01:27Glassgoat does not want your NB Spears
01:30No more greed
01:31What are security doing?
01:33No Marguerite! No Marguerite!
01:35No Marguerite! No Marguerite!
01:37No Marguerite!
01:39Get off!
01:41Get off!
01:43Get off!
01:45No Marguerite!
01:47No Marguerite!
01:49No Marguerite!
01:51Leave one more finger on me
01:53and I'll send you, your company
01:55and every fat cat bastard
01:57bankrolling this conference.
01:59I've had enough of this.
02:01Alistair, get back in the car!
02:03수가!
02:05The hell's going on?
02:11Stephen Jones
02:13You stupid fools.
02:15Go on!
02:19Go on!
02:21Go on!
02:23Go on!
02:25I have invited you here this afternoon
02:37to share with you what can only be described as a breakthrough.
02:42Yeah, a breakthrough.
02:47Oh, God.
02:55What do you reckon?
03:02Oh, it certainly was a bomb.
03:04It was directly under the driver's seat.
03:07A huge amount of heat generated.
03:09I mean, the keys just melted in the ignition.
03:13Whoever did this...
03:14He wasn't going to let anybody walk away.
03:18Right, since the bomb squad have finished sweeping the hall,
03:20split them into two groups.
03:22Send one to Lloyd's house, the other to the Wenborn building.
03:24Looks like we're dealing with a thorough type here.
03:27Yeah.
03:27I want to make sure he hasn't left any Plan B surprises anywhere else.
03:31Right.
03:33Right, timer device, trigger mechanisms, the explosives themselves.
03:37I need everything you find as soon as you find it.
03:40Jackie, what have you got for me?
03:43Conference organiser, sir.
03:45Professor Henry Anderson.
03:49Lloyd was one of the leading voices in Europe,
03:52if not the world.
03:53And what field exactly?
03:55Stem cell research.
03:58He was developing a process to cultivate healthy cells,
04:01to replace damaged or defective ones.
04:04We may have lost a cure for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease today.
04:09Did he use embryos?
04:11That usually gets people fired up.
04:13No.
04:14The demo was more about the funding.
04:16We get our money from multinational pharmaceutical companies, Chief Inspector.
04:21Terence Lloyd worked for Wenborn.
04:23They sponsor our conference.
04:25The anti-globalisation lobby don't approve.
04:28Have there been any other violent incidents?
04:30Dr North had his car pelted with rotten fruit, but nothing like...
04:35like this.
04:36Is Dr North around at the moment?
04:40Around?
04:41Yeah.
04:42He saw the whole thing.
04:44He got through the protesters.
04:46He pulled up and...
04:48and then he just...
04:50Excuse me.
04:51Do you mind if I sit down?
04:52Sure.
04:57Do you need a doctor?
04:58No, no.
04:59I'll be fine, thank you.
05:00It's just...
05:03I was standing right there.
05:05Did you know Dr Lloyd well?
05:07No, no.
05:08We worked in the same field, but...
05:10I didn't know him.
05:13Sir.
05:23Thought you'd be a bit quicker off the mark than this, Cammie.
05:25Busy man, ma.
05:26You know what it's like at Special Branch.
05:28Aye, I do.
05:29I'll tell you what, I don't miss it about working there.
05:30Fanatics.
05:32Sex, money, ambition, that's the kind of motives I can get my head round.
05:35But this.
05:36Who'd been keeping tabs in this group?
05:38They've got it in for the multinationals.
05:40But the most extreme thing any of them have done
05:42is put a brick through a coffee shop window.
05:45This doesn't seem like their style.
05:46Maybe they just got more ambitious.
05:48I can't see them.
05:49Then it wouldn't look too good for the branch of some wee bunch of brown racers
05:53that you had down as low risk
05:54suddenly went into the terrorist outrage business.
05:56You think I'm looking at this and seeing what it suits me to see?
05:59Why don't you just give me everything you've got in them
06:01and I'll make up my own mind.
06:02The branch don't usually go in for sharing information.
06:04True, but since you and me are old pals,
06:06that'll not be a problem.
06:08Will it?
06:09Yeah.
06:09I don't know, sir.
06:09You don't know.
06:09I don't know.
06:10You don't know.
06:11I don't know.
06:11I don't know.
06:14I don't know.
06:16I just can't follow my book.
06:20Inspector Ross, I think you should see this.
06:48Yeah, this is D.I. Ross at Terence Lloyd's house.
07:07Can you say I've seen a crime down here?
07:10Need some photographs taken.
07:18Don't talk to me about rules and regulations.
07:22I have my own rules and regulations.
07:24I want to go into my office.
07:25That's right.
07:26That's my orders.
07:28Do you know I've been barred from entering my own building?
07:31And you are?
07:32William Myles, Chief Executive.
07:34Well, once the bomb squad have cleared the building, I'm sure that...
07:37We're born has lost a valuable asset today.
07:40I owe it to the board to...
07:41To make sure your European headquarters aren't blown to buggery.
07:44Do you want to put more of your staffs?
07:46Sorry, assets, life's in jeopardy.
07:47No, of course I don't.
07:48Then I suggest we just wait here for the all clear, all right?
07:51Okay, on you go, Mr. Moyles.
08:01I appreciate this must be a difficult time for you, Mr. Gregg, but...
08:04I'll cope.
08:05No sense feeling sorry for yourself, is there?
08:08How long has you worked together?
08:10Six years.
08:11A long time.
08:12You got an okay with him, then?
08:14Mostly.
08:15I think sometimes Terence thought of me as a necessary evil.
08:19My field is bioinformatics.
08:22Pretend I'm a layman who's got no idea what that means.
08:25I, um, store and study biological data.
08:28The kind of information Terence needed to kick-start his own research.
08:32So, was this a joint project?
08:34God, no, no. This is Terry's baby.
08:35I did some donkey work, but he was the brains of the operation.
08:38And he never let us forget it.
08:40Sorry, Miss Fisher?
08:41I'm just saying, Terence never let us forget who was boss.
08:44He was always imparting perils of wisdom.
08:46Are we going to miss them now?
08:48Yeah.
08:49Must feel as if you've lost a friend as well as a colleague.
08:52That's correct, Sergeant.
08:54And no one's going to feel any better until you've brought those maniacs to book.
08:58Maniacs?
08:59I think Mr Moyles is referring to the protesters from the conference centre.
09:02You think they...
09:03Oh, wake up, Tara!
09:05Who else hated Terence Lloyd enough to kill him?
09:09I'll need some help to get this started.
09:14I'm not sure that I can allow that.
09:17Those computers contain highly sensitive and valuable data.
09:21Mr Moyles, we're conducting an investigation into the murder of one of your employees.
09:24And I am running the research wing of a multinational drug company.
09:29Access to the PC network is restricted.
09:32And I'll be reminding my staff of the confidentiality.
09:36Closing their contracts before any interrogations can take place.
09:40I'm sorry, but I have my shareholders to consider.
09:44Well, you have your priorities and I have mine.
09:47I'll be back with a warrant, Mr Moyles.
09:49In the meantime, consider this.
09:51Touch anything in here and I'll have you for tampering with evidence.
09:55Sergeant Reid, get a uniform in here.
10:06And I had these taken at Lloyd's place yesterday.
10:09How do you sleep at night?
10:11Talk to his local Nick, see if he reported a break-in.
10:14That should give us an idea of how long ago our interior decorator chum went to work.
10:20Glasgow against globalization.
10:22We at Special Branch don't think they're capable of this type of attack.
10:25And there's no record of violence at any of their other demos.
10:29So we're talking vegetarian aromatherapists rather than hardcore terrorists?
10:34Sit-ins in coffee shops and burger chains.
10:36Ring leaders?
10:37They don't go in for anything as fascistic as leaders, Matt.
10:40But this guy is definitely the mouthpiece.
10:45Dylan Ferguson.
10:47He rents a room above a pub twice a month for meetings.
10:50Now, of all the protesters, he's the guy that talks the talk.
10:54But I can't see him being your man, to be honest.
10:56Unless he just got fed up making speeches.
10:58A little less conversation, a little more action.
11:05You doubting my professional instincts, Chief Inspector?
11:07Ask me again when I've used my instincts.
11:09You got an address for this guy?
11:11Naturally.
11:12Good.
11:13Right, you keep it the branch files, Stuart.
11:15See if they've missed anything.
11:17Robbie, you get stuck into the stuff from Lloyd's house.
11:19Jackie, we're gonna have a chat with this mouthpiece.
11:21People are dying every day. Why?
11:24Because of money. Because of big business.
11:28Say no to multinationals. Say no to greed.
11:30I hope that's recycled paper, son.
11:32Very helpful young man at your flat told us where we'd find you.
11:36What were his exact words again, Sergeant Reid?
11:38Eh, Dylan's taken the fight onto the streets.
11:43It's called political rhetoric.
11:45Pretty inflammatory language, though, eh?
11:47Well, if you hear it with a policeman's ears, then yes, I suppose so.
11:51Three of the Ontario chemical plant bombers.
11:54Whatever ears you hear it with.
11:55Sounds like you're supporting criminal acts.
11:57You ever heard the phrase, by any means necessary?
12:00Malcolm X.
12:01I'm impressed.
12:02I rented the video.
12:04You know, much as I enjoy discussing activism, I've got stuff to do, so...
12:09Your group was at the conference centre yesterday when the bomb went off?
12:12Yes.
12:13I was exercising my democratic right to protest.
12:16I don't like Wemborn or that kind.
12:20What about Terence Lloyd?
12:22The dead guy?
12:23Yeah.
12:24The dead guy.
12:25To me, it just means there's one less parasite in the world.
12:32Don't enjoy yourself too much, pal.
12:34A man's dead and we're gonna catch whoever did it.
12:36By any means necessary.
12:46No break-ins reported, so I guess Lloyd wasn't too bothered about the graffiti.
12:50How's it going with the special branch files?
12:57Great.
12:58Good.
12:59You won't mind having a crack at this then?
13:01It was in with Lloyd's stuff.
13:04What is it?
13:05That's some sort of code.
13:06And since it was set by a genius, I thought another genius might be able to work it out.
13:11Aye.
13:12Very good, Robbie.
13:14Tell you, Stuart.
13:15My head is spinning with all this techno-speak.
13:25How's that going, Robbie?
13:26Looks like watching the Open University with a hangover.
13:28Great.
13:29Stick at it.
13:30Any news about the warrant?
13:31Yeah, they're gonna bike it over as soon as it comes through.
13:35Sir?
13:36Lloyd's not the only Wenborn employee we should be taking a look at.
13:46What have you done?
13:48What the hell have you done?
13:52Kid gloves with Tara, Jackie.
13:54If we bring her in, she might clam up.
13:56Well, there's no danger of her boyfriend doing the same.
13:58Very cosy.
14:00And you guys have really got a bit of a blue thing going here.
14:05Funny you never mentioned knowing Tara Fisher when we had a little chat.
14:08You didn't ask.
14:09I'm asking you now.
14:14She came to a couple of meetings.
14:15And you knew who she worked for?
14:16Yeah.
14:17So you knew more about Terence Lloyd than you let on to.
14:21You know, the dead guy.
14:25She mentioned him a couple of times.
14:28Maybe.
14:29I suppose for somebody like you, an impressionable young girl like Tara could come in handy.
14:34I mean, she could show you how to get into the Wenborn car park undetected.
14:38Maybe even keep the attendants talking while you and your pals planted the bomb.
14:42It wasn't like that.
14:43What was it like, Dylan?
14:45She came to us.
14:47She had no time for the company and she absolutely hated that Lloyd guy.
14:52Enough to kill him.
14:53Ask her.
14:55When was the last time you saw Tara Fisher?
15:01Today.
15:03She turned up at a bar drinking.
15:06And what did she have to say?
15:09Dylan.
15:10Well, she wasn't making any sense.
15:14I mean, she thought I'd done it.
15:16Well, that's not too wild an idea, is it?
15:19I mean, just five clicks of a mouse away from your website, there's an anarchist homepage with a step-by-step guide to making your own bomb.
15:26That's an American site.
15:27Which you support!
15:28Do you know how many deaths multinationals cause every year?
15:32Now, if Tara or whoever decided to make an example of him, don't expect me to shed too many tears.
15:39Miss Fisher? Tara?
15:40I'd like to ask you a few questions.
15:41I've got a doctor's appointment.
15:42Oh, I can give you a lift.
15:43No.
15:44No, I need the fresh air.
15:45It's only around the corner.
15:46Good.
15:47We can walk and talk.
15:49So, how long have you worked at Wainborg?
15:5018 months.
15:51Ever since I graduated.
15:53What made you apply for the job?
15:54They're a major company.
15:55Great first step on the ladder.
15:56And I'd seen Lloyd.
15:57I've lectured a few times at the uni.
15:59So, no reservations then?
16:00No.
16:01Well, then I have to ask, what made you get involved with an anti-globaliser?
16:03You know, I need the fresh air.
16:04You know, I need the fresh air.
16:05It's only round the corner.
16:06Good.
16:07We could walk and talk.
16:08So, how long have you worked at Wainborg?
16:0918 months.
16:10Ever since I graduated.
16:11What made you apply for the job?
16:12They're a major company, great for a step on the ladder.
16:15And I'd seen Lloyd, lecture a few times at the uni.
16:19So, no reservations then?
16:20No.
16:21Well, and I have to ask, what made you get involved with an anti-globalisation group?
16:25A group that specifically targeted Wenburn?
16:28It's a free country, isn't it? Everyone's allowed their political beliefs.
16:32You have to admit, Tara, it does look like a betrayal of trust.
16:35I was disillusioned.
16:36I thought working in research was this noble thing, but it's not. It's all about the money.
16:40So you went off to join the protesters?
16:42I just wanted to hear what they had to say.
16:44I know it looks bad, but I've talked to Dylan and I don't think he had anything to do with the bomb.
16:48Look, I've got to go.
16:50Well, I've got...
16:51An appointment.
16:53Yes, you said.
16:56We'll be in touch, Tara.
17:07If you did set the device...
17:09I didn't.
17:09I'm just saying, if you did.
17:12Wouldn't be the first time you'd resorted to criminal activity, would it?
17:17I was 18.
17:20I broke into an animal research facility and set some chimps free.
17:25Now, it's not the same as blowing someone to smithereens.
17:27It's an ideologically motivated crime.
17:30And then there's the graffiti at Lloyd's house.
17:32How do you sleep at night?
17:34That seems like your style to me.
17:36Okay, I'll call for that.
17:38Now, slap my wrist and let me go.
17:40You're more than a slap wrist for breaking and entering, mate.
17:43There was no breaking involved.
17:47Look, Tara got a key from somewhere.
17:51The whole thing was her idea.
17:52She even told us what to write.
17:53Is that a fact?
17:54Yes.
17:56Now, she came to the meetings, talked about the issues.
17:59But I always came back to Lloyd.
18:02She had it in for him.
18:03So you just went along with her vendetta?
18:06Attractive young women can be very persuasive, you know?
18:09Not to me, Inspector.
18:11I'm gay.
18:12What do you think?
18:21I think he's on mouth.
18:23I think he's enjoying the attention.
18:25He'll probably make a very successful politician one day,
18:27but, uh, no, I don't see him as a killer.
18:43He says,
18:44I hit her out of the head with a shovel,
18:45put her in a bin bag,
18:46slinging in the Clyde,
18:47and I'm the bad guy.
18:48Oh, thanks, Robbie.
18:49I need this.
18:51It's been a long date.
18:52Mm.
18:53It's not that.
18:53It's just that I'm getting passively anxious
18:55for looking at Stuart's wee worried face.
18:57What's got you thinking so hard?
18:58This.
18:59Some sort of code.
19:00Turned up in Lloyd's things.
19:02Trying to work it out with no joy.
19:05Oopsy.
19:06Oopsy.
19:06It spells T-Lloyd
19:13if you substitute the previous letter of the alphabet.
19:16No, you don't have to be Miss Marple
19:17to work that out, son.
19:18Yeah, I know.
19:19Get your finger out, eh, Stuart?
19:21First thing tomorrow,
19:21log on to his bank's website.
19:23Use those letters as a password
19:24and see what you come up with.
19:25You're not having the best of days,
19:26are you, mate?
19:27I mean, first the old gaydar Miss Dillon.
19:29Must need retuning.
19:30I better go home and play some Judy Garland.
19:33Normally does his trick.
19:36What's your story, Robbie?
19:37Ah, nothing on the tapes
19:38apart from lab reports
19:40and scientific jargon.
19:42What, you got through a full shift
19:43without kicking someone's door in?
19:44That must be a first.
19:45Aye, well, the chief's always on at me
19:46to try the patient, painstaking approach,
19:48so I spent the last couple of hours
19:49going through the deceased documents.
19:51Pay off, did it?
19:52Aye, big time.
19:54There is one thing I found.
19:56A stub in Lloyd's checkbook
19:58made out to a place called
19:59the Hawkins Clinic.
20:01Eight hundred quid.
20:03Check it out in the morning.
20:04Er, do you not think Jackie
20:06would be a better bet?
20:07I mean, yeah, softly, softly approach.
20:10No, I'm more of the gentle touch.
20:12Now you go, Robbie.
20:13Do you good to develop
20:14a gentle touch of your own.
20:16I'm going to work with George North.
20:18What about?
20:20Well, we know Dillon and Tara
20:21hate Wenburn.
20:22Moyles and Greg are devoted to it.
20:24I want to hear what an impartial observer
20:26has to say.
20:26Wenburn are a huge company.
20:31One of the biggest.
20:32And their share prices rocketed
20:34in the last few weeks.
20:35Why was that?
20:36People were expecting Dr. Lloyd
20:38to announce something special
20:39at the conference.
20:41He'd requested to address the delegates.
20:44Moyles had organized
20:45a champagne reception afterwards.
20:47That suggests a breakthrough
20:48to a lot of people.
20:49But not to you necessarily.
20:51Wenburn throw money
20:52at their research wing
20:53and it's possible it paid off.
20:54But they'd have to be years ahead
20:56of everyone else.
20:58Everyone including you.
21:00I work for a much smaller company,
21:02Chief Inspector.
21:03We're not in the same league.
21:05To be honest,
21:06I'm not sure I'd want to be part
21:07of an organization like Wenburn.
21:09Why not?
21:09In a word, pressure.
21:11Millions are invested
21:12in research teams.
21:14Hundreds of millions
21:14of potential profits.
21:16It's easy for the science
21:18and the scientists
21:19to get lost in all that.
21:21Being first becomes more important
21:22than being right.
21:24Alliston,
21:27now the detective sergeant
21:28has her warrant.
21:30Assist her in any way you can.
21:32And keep a record
21:33of any file she accesses.
21:35That'll make it easier
21:36to trace any leaks.
21:38Do you honestly believe
21:40we're going to start
21:40selling your secrets
21:41to the highest bidder,
21:42Mr Moyles?
21:42Your integrity may be rock solid,
21:44but I doubt the same can be said
21:45for your anti-hacker
21:46security system.
21:48I'll be in my office.
21:49This must be a great place
21:54to work.
21:56William has his moments.
21:57There's nowhere else
21:58I want to be.
21:59We're going to make history here.
22:00Even without Mr Lloyd?
22:02I will grieve.
22:02We'll miss him,
22:03but in the end,
22:04nothing stops progress.
22:06You sound confident?
22:07Well, there might be
22:07a very slight delay,
22:08but we'll get there.
22:10Most of this stuff's just jargon,
22:12but I'm happy to translate.
22:14Yeah, well,
22:16it's difficult to access
22:17his work-in-progress folder.
22:19Well, active documents
22:20are wiped from the hard drive
22:21and stored on disk.
22:23Security.
22:24Can I see it?
22:26Well, not unless you
22:26recovered it from the car.
22:28Terrence kept his most recent data
22:30with him at all times.
22:31Well, at least I can access
22:32his email.
22:39Mr Greg, I'll have to ask you
22:41not to read the screen
22:41from now on.
22:42But Mr Moyles said...
22:44I'm afraid to insist.
22:46I will need to see
22:47any corporate documents
22:48you want to remove.
22:49Sure.
22:51But this is not corporate.
22:53It's personal.
22:54Excuse me, can I help you?
23:13Eh, yeah, I hope so.
23:14I need some information.
23:17I'm sorry, Inspector,
23:18but the women who visit this clinic
23:20rely on our confidentiality policy.
23:22Right, I see.
23:25Miss Bennett?
23:26Room two, please.
23:32Look, I'll be honest with you.
23:34I don't really want to be here.
23:36I know I'm in the way.
23:38But if you won't talk to me,
23:39I'll have to come back with a warrant
23:40and a whole bunch of police officers.
23:42Now, we don't want that, do we?
23:44And I'm sure your patients
23:45won't want it either.
23:46I really don't feel able
23:47to divulge information.
23:48The person I'm interested in
23:50is dead,
23:51so he doesn't need to rely
23:52on your discretion anymore.
23:53Okay.
23:54Okay, name.
23:56Dr Terence Lloyd,
23:57Central Road in Hindland.
24:01He wrote out a check for £800,
24:03payable to this place.
24:04We never cashed a check, Inspector.
24:07Dr Lloyd did arrange an appointment,
24:09but the lady in question cancelled.
24:11Who was the lady in question?
24:14If she didn't turn up,
24:15she was never a patient.
24:17So you don't have to worry
24:18about confidentiality, do you?
24:23Sir!
24:24You've got that
24:25I'm-going-to-make-the-bosses-day
24:26look in your face, son?
24:27I did what you said.
24:28I used Lloyd's password
24:30in his bank account.
24:31£320,000 paid in the 14th September.
24:34It was three days ago.
24:36Tell me you used your initiative
24:37and found out who by.
24:38Motsham and Radford.
24:39They're a firm of stockbrokers
24:41in Blythwood Street.
24:42£320,000.
24:44Now, that's the kind of motive
24:44I can get my teeth in me.
24:45Go to the head of the class.
24:47Sir, take a look at these.
24:50No peeking Stuart, they're X-rated.
24:52Email correspondence
24:53between Dr Lloyd
24:55and his beautiful young protégé.
24:57If Tara ever gives up signs,
24:59she could give Jackie Collins
25:00a run for her money.
25:01Bring her in.
25:05Robbie.
25:07Where are you off to?
25:08Pick up Tara Fisher.
25:09Well, go easy on her.
25:11She's pregnant with Lloyd's child.
25:19Lloyd made the appointment
25:20for a termination.
25:22Wrote the check out.
25:24She cancelled.
25:25She's still carrying his baby.
25:28Who stands to inherit
25:29more than 300 grand from Daddy.
25:30You really think she killed him?
25:35Ask me again after we've had a wee chat.
25:38Come on.
25:41Interesting correspondence
25:42between yourself and Mr Lloyd.
25:45Starts off on a strictly professional basis
25:47and then gets a little more friendly
25:48and then flirtatious
25:50and finally, well,
25:52intimate,
25:53sexually graphic language
25:54used by both parties.
25:58Don't people have any privacy anymore?
26:00I'm sorry if you're embarrassed.
26:02I'm not.
26:03We'd a relationship, yes.
26:06There was an age difference, yes,
26:07but neither of us were married.
26:09We had nothing to be ashamed of.
26:10And yet you kept your relationship a secret.
26:16Moyles wouldn't have liked it.
26:18And the global scientific community.
26:20Well, you'd be surprised
26:21how much gifted men and women gossip.
26:24Is that why Ternus ended it?
26:27He was worried about his reputation.
26:30I ended it.
26:31Because of the baby?
26:34There really isn't any privacy anymore.
26:36We look for two things
26:38in any murder investigation, Miss Fisher.
26:41Motive and opportunity.
26:43Now, you worked at the Wenborn building,
26:45giving you ample opportunity to plant the bomb.
26:48And you certainly had plenty of motive.
26:50Look, we split up.
26:51It's not that big a deal.
26:53Pretty acrimonious, though.
26:54Him wanting you to have an abortion.
26:55You must have been angry.
26:57I was.
26:59I mean, look,
27:00why would I kill my child's father?
27:02Lloyd had more than 300 grand in the bank.
27:04Your baby's heir to that now.
27:06He ploughed all his earnings into the house.
27:09He didn't have that kind of cash floating around.
27:11As if this week he did.
27:13He'd been playing the stock market.
27:15300,000.
27:17Keep you in disposable nappies for a wee while, eh?
27:21Did Ternus ever talk to you about shares?
27:25No.
27:28He's got Wenborn stock.
27:30We all have.
27:31It's part of the salary package.
27:34Could that have been the shares that he sold?
27:36I mean, they've gone through the roof recently.
27:39Everybody anticipating an announcement.
27:41There wasn't going to be one.
27:43Nothing massive, anyway.
27:45In five or six years, maybe.
27:47But not yet.
27:48Five or six years?
27:49It's a blink of an eye in terms of medical research.
27:52Then why all the fuss about the conference?
27:55What was Ternus going to say?
27:57I don't know.
27:58No.
27:58If Wenborn really are five years away from hitting the jackpot, I want to know what Lloyd's big speech was going to be about.
28:05You know, maybe he was the one that started the breakthrough rumour.
28:09Pushed the share price up, then flogged them before he had to come clean at the conference.
28:12Let's get out of there.
28:18I hope this isn't going to take too long.
28:20I do have work to do.
28:21Yes, of course.
28:23Can't let the shareholders then, can you?
28:24Exactly.
28:25Especially when you're one of them.
28:27Most major companies offer stock options to senior executives, Chief Inspector.
28:32Would it surprise you to learn that Ternus Lloyd sold all of his shares a few days before his death?
28:38I can't think why he'd do that.
28:40The stock will triple in value when the announcement is made.
28:42You mean if.
28:43When?
28:45I don't know what made Ternus Lloyd sell up, but it certainly wasn't a lack of faith in Wenborn's future.
28:51So he was going to stand up at the conference centre and say that everything was coming up roses?
28:54Of course he was.
28:55What else would he say?
28:56Something a bit more controversial, maybe.
28:58Controversial enough to get him killed before he got a chance to say it.
29:03Five or six years?
29:05No, Tara's got it wrong.
29:06We're much closer to the breakthrough than that.
29:09But how would she not know?
29:10Wasn't she part of the team?
29:12Well, she's a bright girl with a future, but at this stage in her career, she wouldn't be involved in decision making.
29:18You saw for yourself how security conscious Mr. Moyles is.
29:24Well, Tara's not the only one who thinks you're still some distance from a breakthrough.
29:29I spoke to another delegate at the conference, a Dr. North.
29:32George North?
29:33Yeah, well, I wouldn't place too much stock on anything he says.
29:36Why not?
29:37Well, he's a rival for a start.
29:39At least he likes to think he is.
29:41Plus, he and Terence never got on.
29:42They worked together years ago, had some sort of falling out.
29:45North's been licking his wounds in Canada ever since.
29:47Stuart, pick up all you can and Dr. George North and any dealings he had with Lloyd.
29:54See if there's anything else the absent-minded professor forgot to tell us.
29:57Yes, sir.
29:58Oh, and Sheila called in.
29:59She wants to see you in the lab.
30:01This really is a fascinating combination of chemicals.
30:04Fascinating?
30:05Yeah.
30:05Now, the intensity of the blast made it extremely difficult, I have to say, but I have now identified the constituent elements, and this is the unusual stuff.
30:19Tetrachloride sulfate B?
30:20Yeah.
30:21You ain't gonna find that in a kid's chemistry set.
30:24So where would you find it?
30:25Well, highly specialised suppliers.
30:27Perhaps only a handful in the entire country.
30:29Well, that could be good news.
30:31Picking something as rare as this could be our man's slip-up.
30:33Yeah.
30:34Or it could be seen as more of a calculated risk.
30:37I mean, on the downside, yes, it can be traced, but then the flammability is such that it's guaranteed to work.
30:43A cupful of this stuff is enough to burn a man to death in seconds.
30:50Sir, thought you'd better see this straight away.
30:53So my science magazine website dated 1985.
30:56North's career in ruins.
30:59Lloyd denounces North at conference.
31:02Well done, son.
31:04Listen, since you're on a roll, how do you fancy tracking down some lethal chemicals for me?
31:09I tell you, man, not a single gram of tetrachloric sulfate B has left this building in the past 11 months.
31:17It's company policy.
31:18Keep tabs on the dangerous stuff, so I know.
31:22So what if it was stolen?
31:23Then I'd be on to you guys, especially for something like that.
31:27It's lethal, you know.
31:28Yes, we know.
31:29So someone's used it then, done some damage?
31:33It was used in an explosive device, yes.
31:35No, not Dr Lloyd.
31:37I'm not at liberty to say.
31:39Well, watch the news, you know.
31:41How many bombs go off in Glasgow?
31:42Oh, can't believe it.
31:46Did you know Dr Lloyd then?
31:47And he was a customer.
31:48Bit of a pain in the arse at times.
31:51Him and the whole team used to come down and supervise a mixing of any compounds they needed.
31:55And is that common?
31:56No.
31:57Well, but you're not going to say no to the guys from Wendburne, are you?
32:04North's lied to us.
32:06Simple as that.
32:07Lloyd destroyed him.
32:08He was North's assistant.
32:10And he stood up at a conference and told every boffin who mattered that North's research was worthless.
32:14Now, Lloyd's dead.
32:15And it's his work that's worthless.
32:17Eh?
32:17I went to the stock exchange website.
32:19Really?
32:20Yeah, well, Stuart showed me how to do it.
32:21Anyway, Wendburne's stock's collapsing.
32:24The shares that Lloyd sold are worth next to nothing now.
32:27Because the company's lost its prime asset.
32:29So he made a real killing then?
32:31But Lloyd couldn't possibly have known what was going to happen to the share price.
32:35Unless we're dealing with the most bizarre bloody suicide in history.
32:38New cells.
32:41Entirely healthy.
32:42Entirely self-replicating.
32:44With no danger of rejection.
32:48Perhaps as soon as 12 years from now, certainly within 20, this procedure could be as commonplace as placing a plaster on a cut finger.
33:00Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
33:14Conference is carrying on as normal then?
33:16Well, it was never a one-man show.
33:18And, um, some of us have come a long way to be here.
33:21That's right.
33:22You're based in Canada now, aren't you?
33:24Been there ever since Terrence Lloyd ruined your career in this country.
33:28I don't know that I'd put it that way.
33:30Um, we had some professional differences of opinion over the years.
33:35And I was never a fan of Wendburne.
33:37Well, corporate issues aside, Dr. North, you denied even knowing Terrence Lloyd.
33:41I was confused.
33:43In shock.
33:44I did witness a man die, after all.
33:47A man that was about to make a speech that could leave you dead in the water?
33:50Professionally speaking.
33:52A man who worked for a bigger and better company.
33:54Any more questions?
34:00No.
34:02Not right at this moment in time.
34:08Good.
34:08Good.
34:08All yours, Robbie.
34:29OK.
34:56OK. The X represents Lloyd's car.
34:59Right.
35:00Now, considering the complex chemical components used in the device itself,
35:04the trigger mechanism was extremely rudimentary,
35:07which actually threw me for a while.
35:09But I've been working on what was left of the receiver,
35:12and it seems that that would be useless
35:15over anything more than a 50-metre radius.
35:18Your murderer...
35:21..is somewhere within this circle.
35:24And so was every witness and suspect we've spoken to.
35:27That means we've met the killer...
35:29..and let them go.
35:39Two people we know were close enough to Lloyd's car to detonate the bomb,
35:43and they meet up in the middle of nowhere.
35:45The victim's boss and his number-one rival cozying up together.
35:48I don't see how that adds up.
35:50Well, they both have something to gain by Lloyd's death.
35:52Yeah, North, I can see, but, I mean, what good would he do, Moyles?
35:55He gets someone a bit easier to boss around, maybe?
35:58Somebody to tow the company line?
36:00No, you're not gonna get rid of a genius
36:01just because he gets a bit lippy every now and then.
36:03Unless he's about to leave you,
36:05taking his genius and the research you've funded with him.
36:08Yeah, maybe that speech that everyone was getting so excited about
36:11was gonna be his resignation.
36:12I think we need to see Mr Moyles again, Jackie.
36:14Ask him if he decided to push Lloyd before he jumped.
36:17You two pay North a visit.
36:28Morning.
36:29Good morning.
36:30I'd like to speak to one of your guests, Dr George North.
36:33Right, one moment.
36:35I'm afraid he's no longer here. He checked out this morning.
36:38Have you got a forwarding address?
36:40No.
36:41We just assumed it was his home address in Toronto.
36:44Call the airport.
36:45Find out when the next flight to Canada leaves.
36:47I'll let Burke know the prof's gone walkabout.
36:54Don't worry yourself, Robbie.
36:56I know exactly where he is.
37:07Really, Chief Inspector, this is becoming tiresome.
37:10I'm doing my job, sir.
37:11Trying to find Terrence Lloyd's killer,
37:13just as you've done your job in finding his replacement.
37:15Wenborn has to move on.
37:17And North was his ideal successor?
37:19Basically, yes.
37:21Someone of his experience represents a safe pair of hands in the short term.
37:28Helps calm stock market jitters.
37:30And you wouldn't want anybody rocking the boat now, would you?
37:33I don't follow you.
37:35Lloyd was very much his own man.
37:37A maverick.
37:38People like that aren't easy to manage.
37:40Do you think I'd actually want to get rid of one of my company's most valuable assets?
37:44Not unless you thought he was about to make a speech to the scientific community,
37:48announcing his resignation.
37:49As far as I was concerned, Terrence Lloyd was going to stand on that platform
37:53and announce progress,
37:55which would make him and me and anyone else with a substantial number of shares
37:59very, very wealthy.
38:01Do you think I would allow the occasional personality clash
38:05to get in the way of that?
38:07How are you getting on with your new boss then?
38:19I'll cope.
38:21Are you disappointed you didn't get the job?
38:23I just don't want him to jeopardise everything we've all worked so hard for.
38:27He's slagged this company off to anyone who'll listen.
38:30Now he expects to stroll in and change the way we operate.
38:33Just when we're on the verge of something amazing.
38:37Yeah, well my DCI has a theory that things weren't actually going that well.
38:40That Lloyd was going to use the conference to suggest to people that he was open to offers.
38:44Then your DCI is very wrong.
38:46If we had Lloyd's speech, then we'd know for sure.
38:50I'm afraid his speech died with him.
38:53Alistair, do you have the rest of the data I requested?
38:56Sorry, Dr North, it's taking a while to collate everything for you.
38:59I'm not surprised.
39:00From what I've seen so far, the methodology in this lab leaves a lot to be desired.
39:04Everything you need will be on your desk this afternoon when we get back from the conference.
39:08You're going back to the conference?
39:10Well, where better to officially announce my appointment?
39:12And I resource PR, then I can get down to some real work, of which there is plenty.
39:21Miss Fisher, I wonder if we could have a word with you in private.
39:24You knew Lloyd better than anybody?
39:29Not really. Not as well as I thought.
39:31Before Lloyd's death, the company was putting the champagne on ice.
39:34Now North's in there saying there's a ton of work to be done.
39:37Which is what you've been saying all along.
39:39So who's right?
39:40I don't know.
39:42Just something Terran said about the future not being as bright as he'd hoped.
39:46Tara, is there anything else you think you can help us with?
39:49What about the speech he was going to make?
39:51I don't see how that could just disappear without trace.
39:53There's nothing here. There's no notes at his house.
39:56Did Terran ever take you to a cottage or a holiday home?
39:59No.
40:00Think, Tara. You must know something.
40:04I don't.
40:06There was one thing.
40:08But I doubt...
40:09Try me.
40:11He had a place.
40:12A little office.
40:14No phone, no PC.
40:16He used to go there just to think sometimes.
40:18We went there together once.
40:20Do you remember the address?
40:21It was on Trongate.
40:23I can't remember the number, but it was above a bank.
40:25We'll find it.
40:27I don't think my talking to you is going to make me employee of the month.
40:37Get back behind that wheel, Robbie.
40:39Where am I going to?
40:40Trongate.
40:41Lloyd kept an office there somewhere above a bank.
40:43See if you can locate it and find some evidence of that bloody speech.
40:45Where are you off to, sir?
40:47Jack and I are going to find out who did it.
40:52Simple as that.
40:53Whoever made the bomb needed that ultra-flammable substance.
40:56We know they didn't buy it, so they're to steal it.
40:58We're going to do the same.
40:59Hello, security.
41:00Yes, it's Detective Inspector Ross.
41:01I need to gain access to an office space in the name of Terence Lloyd.
41:18Oh, very salubrious.
41:24Look, I don't know.
41:27Well, it's not exactly when born, is it?
41:29I can see how someone might come here.
41:32No phone to distract you.
41:35Just peace and quiet.
41:39Chance to think.
41:40Out loud.
41:47This race for the prize has become an obsession among the global scientific community.
41:53Furthermore, there's an important piece of information I need to impart.
41:58So, we get to hear Lloyd's speech after all.
42:02I told the other cop, we're very security conscious here, Chief Inspector.
42:06Very.
42:07Good.
42:08You got some nasty stuff here.
42:11The really nasty stuff's through there.
42:24Reinforced glass.
42:25You need a sledgehammer to get through it.
42:31Satisfied?
42:32Excellent security.
42:33First class.
42:34So, you see, whoever did Lloyd in didn't get their fireworks from in here.
42:40Would you like a cappuccino?
42:41That would be lovely.
42:48I drink far too much of the stuff myself.
42:51But it's my only vice.
42:53No booze or cigarettes.
42:55Mines is better than any coffee shop, I can tell you.
42:59Where's your pal?
43:04How much of this stuff's missing?
43:05That was through yesterday.
43:06Who was the last person from Wainburn in here?
43:07You'll need this, Dr North.
43:11And look, since we're going to be working together, I suppose you better make it George.
43:16George.
43:17George.
43:18George.
43:19Excellent.
43:20A united front at the conference?
43:22If you don't mind, I'll take my own car.
43:23I've got some stuff to do later on.
43:24As long as you get there in plenty of time.
43:25Don't worry.
43:26Don't worry.
43:27I'll be right behind you.
43:28Understood.
43:29The bomb squad is standing by the conference centre.
43:32Robbie.
43:33Robbie.
43:34Robbie.
43:35Robbie.
44:00He's in his own car, behind the Jag.
44:09Stuart, we're tailing Greg now.
44:11He's in his own car, he's behind the Wendborne Jag.
44:14Where exactly are you?
44:15East Lawson Street, sir. Approaching the lights.
44:18Head straight for the conference centre.
44:20We have to keep a distance between the two cars.
44:22He can't trigger the bomb over 50 metres.
44:24If we stop the Jag, he'll blow it.
44:30I think he's seen us, sir.
44:48Shit! Stuart, tell Robbie, cut him off now!
44:51Sir, we've stocked this car.
45:04Bomb squad officers, make yourselves known to the Wendborne car.
45:07The detonator is out of range.
45:08Alistair!
45:26Give it up.
45:28I wanted to warn them.
45:30I found the detonator at Wendborne.
45:33I was trying to...
45:34Forget it!
45:35Even if I was stupid enough to believe you, you've still got Lloyd to answer for.
45:38Terence.
45:40Terence was my mentor.
45:41He was like a father to me. Why would I want to...
45:43Because you were greedy.
45:45You put profit before science.
45:47When Wendborne were years away from a breakthrough and Lloyd knew it,
45:50he was about to denounce you.
45:51After his speech, you'd be ruined.
45:53You don't know that.
45:55No one will ever know what he was going to say.
45:58Robbie.
45:59Today, I name and shame my junior partner, Alistair Gregg.
46:06His greed and ambition saw him corrupt our painstaking research with falsified data
46:11in an attempt to put profit before science.
46:15Had his scheme gone unnoticed, we would be...
46:18Switch it off, Robbie.
46:20Mr. Gregg will hear it often enough during his trial.
46:23What?
46:45You
