River

- Sing! - Jackie Stevenson was a brave...

and invaluable member of the police service.

You can't bring Stevie back.

You're still here!

You're still here!

Justice?

The only real justice is when you

take the law into your own hands.

I'll find who did this.

Sure you will.

She crosses the road, stops halfway,

and there's a look of recognition.

We found Stevie's DNA

INSIDE the car.

We need to get an ID on the man who dropped off the car.

Bruno!

The car was dumped here?

He was wearing this old coat.

I called to him but he kept walking...

It may take me time but...

this isn't the place for you, River.

I expect your psychiatric report to support me on this.

Not everyone fits in this world.

- We just have to... - Pretend?

So?

I had a second phone.

Stop fiddling.

You look fine.

You pay inside.

Over there.

It's 15, inside and out. 15.

Cheers.

Technically, I unlocked it.

Technically, you're spoiling evidence...

not to mention withholding it.

If a party withholds evidence,

it's reasonable to infer that the party had "consciousness of guilt"

OR other motivation to avoid the evidence.

The fact finder may conclude

that the evidence could be unfavourable to the spoliator.

That's you.

He has a point.

They give me clowns.

A clown with Stevie's second phone.

Four numbers.

A takeaway,

Cristal Kebabs,

called...

19 times in seven weeks.

Second.

Unregistered.

Pay as you go, it looks like.

Third?

A sex chat line.

It gets lonely.

If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company.

Fourth...

Jimmy Stevenson.

She called him... one.. two... three...

four times in the first few weeks of October.

Last called 6.15pm

the night of October 21st.

That's the night she...

Looks like he called her right back.

He left a voicemail.

'Please enter your four-digit PIN for access.'

It needs a PIN.

You said you hadn't talked to him in years!

This is not our investigation.

If he was calling her on her second phone...

We have to share this.

You've got to bring Chrissie up to speed.

I left the money on the table, Jean.

I need to talk to Jimmy.

He just needs to ask him some questions.

I thought you weren't on her case.

It's all right, Mammy...

You're going to shit on us again, huh?

Shit, sleep, work, repeat.

He was with me.

Are you saying I'm lying?

No, Bridie,

I'm saying he's your son

and a mother protects her son.

You want to know who needs protecting?

Frankie.

He's not been home in two days,

he's so upset.

Tearing into this family,

into Jimmy,

the brother who loved her.

LOVED her.

It's cos you're not right in the head.

Stevie'd tell me about the days when she had to come round

and peel you off the floor --

cook you tea, get you clean,

get you working again --

and this is how you repay her?

You of all people.

You might want to call his lawyer.

He's nothing to defend.

I arrested him. I sent him down.

Because of my evidence, he served 16 years.

That's not wiped with a few sessions of macrame.

Why didn't you tell me he'd been in contact?

When was the last time you saw her?

Spoke to her, even?

I've answered these questions before.

January the 19th, 1999.

The day I got sent down.

What am I doing here?

Old sins cast long shadows.

I did not...

kill...

my sister.

Have you spoken to her

via e-mail, letter or phone?

You went out for a drink with your brother, Francis,

until 8.15pm on the night DS Stevenson was killed.

We have a sighting of you in the local pub.

Then we went home.

And watched TV

with Francis and your mother...

X Factor.

.. until 10.15pm.

You still like a drink?

AA.

Six years.

So, no booze,

no weed, no nicotine.

Oh, you metamorphose or you calcify.

They say Charlie Manson likes to make little dolls in his spare time.

Out of old socks.

16 years inside...

.. and five months after your release, your sister,

the sister who put you away,

is dead.

She stood in court and gave evidence

that you, her own brother, murdered...

No...

butchered a man.

- No comment. - It's hard to get back from that.

That's some motive.

No comment.

She could be a pain in the neck.

She'd call you when you didn't want to speak to her

and then go silent when you did.

She'd drink too much, she'd smoke too much

and then, the next day, she would swear it was just the flu.

She loved Christmas.

She LOVED Christmas.

I hate Christmas.

I spent an entire Boxing Day

with invented relatives

just to keep her off my back.

And she had this annoying way of...

- River... - .. interrupting!

Like she didn't trust I could finish my own sentences.

Other than that...

.. there was very little not to like.

Motive is easy.

It's execution I'm talking about.

That takes nerve.

That takes experience.

That takes someone who knows what it's like to extinguish life.

No comment.

River!

You're mad.

No comment.

I'm calling time on this interview.

He didn't even have a lawyer with him!

He declined a lawyer.

They're lying about that night.

- I want to question Bridie again. - No. No, no.

- Chrissie, come on! - You've seen the description we got

from Bruno Marconi. It didn't give us anything. You've got no evidence.

I'm releasing him.

This is not your investigation, River.

Your psych report is due any day now.

This does not help.

You've got your own cases,

don't dump them back on my desk.

Foreman. Commercial Road Estate.

Found last night, still alive,

suspected electrocution

BUT, if there is something more suspicious...

Nine times out of ten...

- You give me statistics. - .. there's a look of recognition.

That doesn't mean it was family.

We both know she was booking in extra hours

over the last two months. What was she up to?

I don't know but he's still lying about something.

Show me the evidence.

Because, at this point, the Stevie that I knew,

the Stevie I trusted --

the colleague, the friend --

that Stevie was clocking up overtime,

she was using police vehicles after hours,

withdrawing substantial amounts of cash.

That Stevie, I don't know.
