Noel Cash's battered corpse is found dumped by the motorway. His father Eddie, unaware of his son's fate, complains to the police that the lads from his boxing gym are being lured into cage fighting by shifty Don McGreevy, at whose fight club Robbie is a regular visitor and where Noel boxed to get himself out of debt.

00:00What do you want?
00:10I'm gonna nap.
00:11Oh, shit!
00:42Cheers, then.
00:54Where the hell did you get this?
00:56It's all there.
00:57Aye, alright.
00:58Right, beat it. Back to your work.
01:09You're late, girl.
01:10I'll be ready.
01:12Are you hurt?
01:13No.
01:15There's blood on your arm.
01:17Oh, it's...
01:19nothing.
01:21Clean that off now.
01:41Yes, I know I'm sitting here like a lover
01:45But, oh, man, it's hard to love another
01:48That I found
01:49This is no mean town
01:51No mean city
01:57It's the only place
01:59That I will be willing to die for
02:05It's the only life
02:07I've ever seen
02:10This town is so mean
02:14This town is so mean

03:15DCI Burke?
03:16Duncan.
03:17Don't look so happy to see me. People all talk.
03:19I was expecting Robbie.
03:20Well, look at me instead.
03:22I hope I know too much of a disappointment.
03:24I'll get over it.
03:25Time's a great healer.
03:27So, what have we got?
03:29Uniforms on patrol found him.
03:31They think it's a mugging.
03:32Really?
03:33No sign of his wallet, phone, watch.
03:35What do you think?
03:37I don't think it's a mugging.
03:42Eddie Cash?
03:43I wanted to talk to D.I. Ross.
03:45Why?
03:46Personal.
03:48Do you think I have nothing better to do?
03:50I'll talk to Robbie.
03:51Fine.
03:53Can I go?
03:54No.
04:06MUSIC PLAYS
04:13Heavy bruising to the body.
04:15His hands, his face.
04:17It was a long fight.
04:19His lips are all busted up, he bled.
04:21So where's the blood?
04:23On the crime scene, so this is a dump site.
04:25His clothes are clean.
04:26No spatter.
04:28So he wasn't wearing them when he was beaten?
04:30He was dressed and then dumped.
04:32Nothing about this scene is right.
04:35MUSIC PLAYS
04:40Excuse me, I've been waiting here for ages.
04:42I'll have someone come to you.
04:43This is ridiculous, I've been here for nearly three hours.
04:45Doreen, hang on in there.
04:47Robbie.
04:48Morning.
04:49Eddie Cash?
04:51What about him?
04:52He's in custody.
04:53Why?
04:54Well, I imagine it's a long story, but he only wants to tell it to you.
04:58OK.
04:59He's a good kick up the arse.
05:01I'll sort him.
05:02It's not like him not to come home.
05:04What does he look like?
05:05He's a sort of medium build, he's got dark hair.
05:08Is he very fit looking?
05:10Yeah.
05:12This way, please.
05:15What the hell were you doing at the palace?
05:18I wanted my gravy.
05:20Tell him to stop pulling the boys from our boxing club
05:22into his cage fighting.
05:24Eddie, if the boys in your club want to fight at my gravies,
05:28that's down to them.
05:30I'd love to.
05:31Eddie.
05:33Just whansky that bastard a straightener.
05:36Come on, come on.
05:38Eddie.
05:40I'm sorry, Robbie.
05:43A moment's madness.
05:45It's over now.
05:49Duncan, need a head shot.
05:51I'm on my way.
05:52Jackie, I need you in there.
05:54Look, is Noel some sort of trouble?
05:56Um, I'm not sure yet.
05:59Hello there, I'm Detective Sergeant Jackie Reid.
06:02Julie Cash.
06:03Cash?
06:04Eddie.
06:07What are you doing here?
06:08Looking for Noel.
06:18So, uh, Julie's your...
06:20My daughter-in-law.
06:25Is this your boy, then?
06:30I want to see him.
06:33I'll arrange for you to view him properly.
06:36I'm sorry for your loss.
06:40It looked like he was in a fight,
06:42but there are details of his presentation
06:44that I'm not comfortable with.
06:46What do you mean?
06:47His body was dumped in a road.
06:49So he was murdered there.
06:51Well, that's what we need to find out.
06:55I think it'd be best if you broke the news to Julie yourself.
06:59Yeah.
07:08Julie.
07:13Eddie?
07:15What's going on?
07:21He's dead.
07:25Not an overly emotional girl, is she?
07:28Well, just because she's not wailing like a banshee
07:30doesn't mean she's not devastated.
07:32Give him a couple of minutes, then spot the one for questioning.
07:37He hasn't hugged her.
07:39What's with all the behavioural analysis?
07:42No, I was just saying, it's strange.
07:45Yeah, well, if you want to observe something interesting,
07:47check out the shoes, the clothes, the bag.
07:50They're all designer.
07:52Must be worth a few bob.
07:54Extensive bruising throughout the torso,
07:56grouped on the left side of the ribcage.
07:58Multiple blows, close and tight.
08:00They were delivered by a boxer.
08:02Well, if it was a boxer, he wasn't wearing any gloves.
08:04Distinct knuckle impressions.
08:07And here, faded bruises.
08:09Could be from previous fights.
08:11He's certainly in fine shape.
08:13Massive trauma here.
08:15The left sarcomatic arch.
08:17Probably fractured it.
08:18Is that the cause of death?
08:19No.
08:20Most likely wound for that's here.
08:23Back of the skull.
08:25You can see from the swelling that the blood has pooled under the scalp.
08:28Probably fractured his skull.
08:30From a fist?
08:31I can't say yet.
08:33It could be a weapon or a fall.
08:35He could even have been thrown from a vehicle.
08:38But I'll have to get his brain out of his skull and examine it to be sure.
08:43Go for it.
08:50You might want to stand back.
08:52Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll leave you alone for that.
08:55Let me know as soon as.
08:56Will do.
09:00Was Noel one of the lads cage fighting at the Palace Club?
09:03Noel wouldn't get into that.
09:05Why not?
09:06He's a champion boxer.
09:07Really?
09:09I've not heard of him.
09:11Junior champion.
09:13When he was 18.
09:15Okay.
09:16But not now.
09:18He was working and getting back to it.
09:21Gone pro.
09:23He was getting into shape.
09:24Looking good, too.
09:26Could have had it in the bag already if it wasn't for...
09:29Go on.
09:31You know how it is.
09:34A lad meets a girl.
09:36Oh, it changes.
09:37Julie made Noel stop boxing.
09:39She wasn't happy about it.
09:42Does Noel have a mobile phone?
09:44A phone?
09:46He's dead.
09:48What's his number?
09:52What am I looking at?
09:54The injury that killed Noel Cash.
09:56Half a dozen blows to almost exactly the same spot with a blunt object.
10:00Not a bare fist?
10:01No.
10:02It's hard to say exactly what the weapon was.
10:05A series of ball bearings.
10:07A knuckle duster.
10:08And a blitz attack.
10:10Noel's number.
10:11Get a trace on it.
10:12There's a call log from his service provider.
10:14I will do.
10:15Sir, I need to show you something.
10:17I, er...
10:19I ran a search on the Palace Club
10:21just to see what was floating around in the net.
10:24Come up with this.
10:26Just fights.co.uk.
10:29Great.
10:30What?
10:31Some punter from the police station.
10:33What?
10:34Great.
10:36Some punter from the Palace Club
10:38took this on his mobile phone last night
10:40and posted it.
10:45See all this boxing?
10:46That's not boxing.
10:48Boxing's an art.
10:50Right.
10:53Noel.
10:55Yeah.
10:57And he wins his fight.
10:59Find the other fighter.
11:01Yeah, I will do.
11:02There's something else, sir.
11:06Found this.
11:07In the crowd.
11:15Robbie?
11:20Hey, babe.
11:21I'm really worried about you.
11:23Where are you? Are you OK?
11:25Erm, love you.
11:26Kisses.
11:28Who was that?
11:29Amanda.
11:30Er, some privacy.
11:32You're going to be flashing it around anyways.
11:34Not for free, darling.
11:36We open in ten minutes.
11:38This psycho gives me the creeps.
11:40And what's with him checking your calls?
11:42He's just...protected.
11:44That's not protecting you, girl.
11:46That's owning you.
11:57Well.
11:59I go to the fights.
12:00At the Palace Club.
12:02It's not illegal.
12:03It's hardly befitting a police officer
12:05to be down there rubbing shoulders with the likes of Don McGreevy.
12:08Does he know you're a cop?
12:10Aye, sure.
12:11And he also knows where the boundaries are.
12:13Bollocks.
12:14McGreevy doesn't have boundaries.
12:16Well, I do.
12:18So you were at the club last night?
12:20Yeah.
12:21Remember watching Noel Cash in this fight?
12:25You made contact with the victim,
12:27and you don't remember.
12:29Boss, it was a bit of a heavy night, you know,
12:31and I had to leave early because I, er...
12:34You pulled.
12:36Yeah.
12:39Does the betting go large?
12:41Sometimes.
12:43Did you know he was fighting at the Palace last night?
12:45Is that why you went there?
12:47No.
12:48I heard Lance from my club were in there,
12:50but not Noel.
12:51He was supposed to be working last night.
12:53So where was that?
12:55Moorhouse Engineering.
12:57OK.
12:59Excuse me.
13:01So much for the big comeback.
13:03Spent his whole life trying to live up to you.
13:05OK, folks, my officer will look after you.
13:08Thank you.
13:13Oh, what a pair.
13:15That number you gave me, sir, we made a clone of Noel's SIM card.
13:19His phone is off or destroyed,
13:21so we can't run a trace on it.
13:23But if anyone does call him, we'll get it on that.
13:25Yeah.
13:26Of course, it's unlikely the murderer's going to call him.
13:28Yeah, but we do have this.
13:30New message.
13:31Hey, babe, I'm really worried about you.
13:33Where are you? Are you OK?
13:35Erm, love you. Kisses.
13:37Not Julie?
13:38No.
13:39Caller ID is Anita, which you called earlier today.
13:42Check the boxing club and his place of work.
13:44Find this Anita.
13:45Where are we with the other fighter?
13:47We've got no hits in the biometric scan.
13:49I'll circulate his photo.
13:51You know, I don't think he's local, don't recognise him.
13:53They do bring guys in to fight.
13:55From where?
13:56London, Belfast, Dublin.
13:58Oh, great.
14:01You texting her back as Noel?
14:03Yeah, don't see why not.
14:05Where are you?
14:20MUSIC PLAYS
14:29Matthew Burke.
14:33McGreevy.
14:34Just like old times.
14:35No, really.
14:37I'm here investigating a murder this time.
14:39Noel Cash.
14:41Last seen alive fighting in here.
14:43It was a fair fight, all above board.
14:45So you'll be happy if I search the premises, then?
14:47I've got half of your warrant.
14:49He left here in one piece with a fistful of dollars.
14:51How many dollars?
14:52Four grand.
14:53Not bad for 15 minutes' work.
14:55Mind you, with a wife like his, he needed the money.
14:58Why do you say that?
15:00Expensive tastes.
15:02He lost his job a couple of months ago.
15:04He's been ticking things over by doing the door down the casbah.
15:07The lap dancing club?
15:09The very same.
15:11A waste, though.
15:13His true talents lie in here.
15:15I'll need the name and address of the other fighter.
15:17Scrappy wee bastard.
15:19Not without skills.
15:21Shame he's such a sore loser.
15:23You know the type.
15:25Alamo.
15:29Get Lewis's address.
15:30He's a knacker.
15:31Doesn't have a fixed address, does he?
15:33Well, get the name of the knacker's park where he ties up his caravan, then.
15:41Alamo Higgins.
15:43He was a serious talent in his day.
15:45Yeah, he was.
15:47And now he's your errand boy.
15:49You take bets on the fights?
15:51I'm a licensed bouquet now.
15:53I'll take a bet on two flies fighting over a dead body.
16:02It's very messy in here, you know.
16:05Blood everywhere.
16:14Sir.
16:16I have Julie outside, but I think you should take a look at this.
16:20A bank statement?
16:21Yeah.
16:22Noel put 40k into his account three weeks ago.
16:25It went straight out to clear credit cards.
16:28Bring it in.
16:33OK, in you come.
16:35Just grab a wee seat.
16:38Julie.
16:40What are you not telling me?
16:42I don't know what you mean.
16:43I think you do.
16:45Even if you didn't know that Noel had lost his job,
16:47I don't see how you wouldn't notice 40k going into your account to pay off your lifestyle.
16:53I thought it was a bank loan.
16:55That's what Noel said.
16:57The money didn't come from a bank, Julie.
16:59I know that now.
17:01How do you know?
17:05That man phoned me.
17:06What man?
17:08McGreevy.
17:10Don McGreevy?
17:11He said that Noel owed him a lot of money.
17:14And that he'd be dropping by to see me.
17:17To work something out.
17:21I see.
17:25Then I find out that Noel had lost his job,
17:27was working in a strip club and cage fighting.
17:31What else was he doing that I didn't know about?
17:37So McGreevy mentioned nothing about the 40k that Noel owed him?
17:40No.
17:41The real question is, what was Noel going to do to pay it back?
17:43Are we looking at McGreevy?
17:45Well, he's already guilty of withholding information.
17:47We need this other fighter.
17:49Well, Lewis says he's going on the run with his caravan,
17:51so that rules out airports.
17:53Make sure his photos are posted at all the ferry terminals.
17:55No, sir. I need to just get back to his.
17:57Did you send Noel a text?
17:58Yep.
18:01He'll be in the club tonight.
18:03Everything's sorted.
18:05Which club?
18:06Well, my man is on her working at the Casbah.
18:08We need to find her.
18:09She's our only link to this murder.
18:11Aye, maybe I should get down there and check it out.
18:13That'll be right up your street.
18:14No, I'll do the Casbah look for Anita.
18:16OK.
18:17McGreevy's expecting me to pay him a visit tonight.
18:19You're going to go instead, undercover.
18:21Er, he knows I'm a cop.
18:22Aye, but he doesn't know Jackie, your girlfriend.
18:25Oh, I could be doing with a wee night out.
18:27What do you want me to do?
18:28Mingle with the girls who work there.
18:30See if you can get the story on Noel and this Anita.
18:32And I want to know how the betting works.
18:33Oh, I could tell you that.
18:34I want Jackie to do it.
18:35Yeah, will do.
18:36And one more thing.
18:38Don't get too charged on this one.
18:39All right?
18:41Fine.
19:02OK, we're walking slowly.
19:04High heels.
19:09Nice stockings.
19:10Thank you.
19:11Hi, fellas.
19:21Hiya.
19:22Oh, hi.
19:23Who's your mate?
19:24Candy.
19:25You like?
19:26Will you go somewhere private?
19:28Of course.
19:29This way.
19:30VIP room.
19:39Hey, Donna.
19:42Oh, hi, Donna.
19:43I'm Jackie.
19:44Great.
19:45See you later.
19:48That was strange.
19:50Yeah.
19:52Let's get a drink.
19:56Oh, no, no.
19:57You don't need to do that.
19:58I just want to talk.
19:59One of those, huh?
20:02This is serious.
20:04Sit down.
20:06OK.
20:08So, no more Candy.
20:11What's your name?
20:12Kerry.
20:13Kerry.
20:14I'm looking for somebody called Anita.
20:15What's she done?
20:16You know her?
20:17Yeah.
20:18Where is she?
20:19I'm not about to drop her in the shit, am I?
20:20Listen, I'm trying to help her.
20:22And we can do it here, or we can do it at the station.
20:24Comprendi?
20:25Yeah.
20:26So where is she?
20:28Respecting.
20:29What does that mean?
20:30Well, some of the girls go over to the palace, you know,
20:32mingle with the punters, work up some customers for later on.
20:34So she's at the palace?
20:36Do you know Noel Cash?
20:38Are you sure he works here?
20:40Are you going to ask me about him and Anita?
20:42Should I?
20:46What the hell are you doing?
20:48My job.
20:49Making sure you don't get disturbed.
20:51Well, I'll go and do it somewhere else.
20:59He's a keepy bastard.
21:01Who is he?
21:02Blimey.
21:03Anita is his girl.
21:05Not Noel's?
21:06No, Noel's married.
21:07He's straight up.
21:08Do you know?
21:09Yeah.
21:10So what would happen, do you think,
21:12if Bomber caught Noel messing around with Anita?
21:14A lot of blood would happen.
21:17Well, times are ticking and all that,
21:19so do you want one or not?
21:21Ah, not.
21:23No offence.
21:24None taken.
21:25Take it to your leader.
21:26Cosmo?
21:27Yeah.
21:29What does Anita look like?
21:34Here we go.
21:36Robbie.
21:37John.
21:38You all going to introduce me?
21:39Yeah, this is Jackie.
21:41Dawn McGreevy.
21:43Pleasure.
21:44That's what I've heard.
21:46So, are we here for the fights?
21:47We are.
21:48I'm debating.
21:49You'll have to keep your eye on this one.
21:51Yeah.
21:52We're just getting started,
21:53but bring them in when they're ready.
21:55Cheers, Dawn.
22:05Boys.
22:11Is it OK for you?
22:12Yeah.
22:13Thanks, Alamo.
22:18Note to self.
22:19Don't mess with Alamo.
22:21Nope.
22:22That's a text from the boss.
22:25Anita's in here somewhere.
22:28Five foot nine.
22:30Eastern European.
22:31Blonde.
22:32Brown eyes.
22:33Sparkles.
22:34Well, that narrows it down.
22:40Right, can we have a glass of the good stuff?
22:43Right, can we have a glass of the good stuff?
22:49From the boss.
22:51Thanks, Kate.
22:53You're welcome.
22:57So, is there history there?
22:59Well, Dawn, I know I'm with just friends.
23:02Well, if I were you,
23:03I'd start to make a fuss of me,
23:04because if I was your girlfriend,
23:06you'd be getting a smack just about now.
23:08Well, I'll pour you a glass of champagne, then.
23:13That'll be a start.
23:16But I think you're going to have to be a wee bit more convincing.
23:23What's that?
23:24It's the tin.
23:25The what?
23:26The winner of one of their fights, so we bet on it.
23:29So they're fixed?
23:30Eh, not all of them, just one.
23:32That's all right.
23:33Jackie.
23:34Jackie.
23:35Not all of them, just one.
23:36That's all right.
23:37Jackie, I don't bet on the ones that are fixed.
23:41Good.
23:42Because, eh,
23:44you won't be beating this thing.
23:55Let's get ready!
23:59Terrible!
24:03From the heart of Glasgow,
24:06give a welcome to one of your own,
24:09Malcolm O'Donnell!
24:16There's a lot of money changing hands.
24:18I know.
24:19London,
24:21the Crusher,
24:23Milwaukee!
24:27I'm Malmo!
24:28I'm Malmo!
24:29I'm Malmo!
24:32It's just pure panto.
24:37Jackie,
24:38this is going to be a messy one.
24:40You all right with that?
24:41Yeah, well, I'll tell you what,
24:42see if I faint,
24:44you'll be there to catch me.
24:49Milwall getting it first!
24:51Are they really going for it?
24:52Win!
24:53Referee!
24:54Referee, use the head!
24:55You don't see, use the head!
24:56Come on!
24:58That's it, Milwall.
24:59He's all right.
25:00He's getting the money.
25:02Good man!
25:03Good man!
25:04Brilliant!
25:05Come on, Milwall!
25:06Get stuck and take him down!
25:11Come on, man!
25:12Come on, use the right!
25:13Go for his body!
25:14What?
25:15It's only about blood.
25:16That's it, Milwall!
25:18Yes!
25:19That's it!
25:20Go for the right!
25:21Take him down!
25:22Take him down!
25:23Brilliant!
25:24So you're not surprised that Noel
25:25isn't in for work tonight?
25:26Should I be?
25:27Did you phone him?
25:28See if he was ill?
25:29Yeah, I look like a nurse.
25:30Come on, we saw this about.
25:31You've got a girl working here.
25:32Anita.
25:34What's that supposed to mean?
25:36Well, it's funny her name should come up.
25:38Because I was going to sack her.
25:39Really?
25:40Why would that be?
25:41Look, don't get me wrong.
25:43None of the girls that work for me are easy to handle.
25:46But Anita,
25:47well, she's more trouble than I need.
25:49In what way?
25:52Well, she's got a habit.
25:53Drugs?
25:54It's usually what the habit is.
25:56Why don't you be straight with me?
25:58Tell me what she's done.
25:59I'm investigating a murder.
26:01No cash?
26:02Nah.
26:03We're finished here.
26:04Oh, we haven't even started.
26:06By the time I get a team in here
26:07to strip this place down,
26:08interview your staff, your punters,
26:10you've got to...
26:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
26:12Okay.
26:16She owed me a couple of hundred quid.
26:19And she paid me last night.
26:22With this.
26:23You didn't think it's strange it's all covered in blood?
26:26It's purse money.
26:27They shove it into their hands after the bout.
26:30She's been screwing one of those mad cage fighters.
26:33I'm going to have to hang on to this.
26:35Keep it.
26:36I don't want this place torn apart.
26:38Thanks for your time.
26:40Pleasure.
26:41Oh, uh,
26:42what I need to show is you phone me.
26:45That way I won't have to come back and look for her again.
26:47Thanks.
26:54Bomber.
26:55Get her in here.
27:00Get her in here.
27:02Get her in here.

27:26Get her in here.
27:27Get her in here.
27:29Well, I guess that's it ruined.
27:31I guess so.
27:33Do you work here?
27:34Here? No.
27:37You all right?
27:38You look a bit upset.
27:40I'm fine.
27:42Oh, you...
27:43You must have it.
27:46Thanks.
27:48So have I.
27:51Done.
27:54Have a good night.
27:55Thanks, you too.
27:58McGreevy!
27:59Come on!
28:00Let's have you.
28:01I'll take you on.
28:02Fight him like a man.
28:03Come on.
28:04One on one, McGreevy.
28:05You and my boy in here.
28:06Fight like a dog.
28:07No, you think you can come sniffing Rooney's wife?
28:09You couldn't find your way out of a paper bag?
28:11I'm not.
28:14Hey.
28:15Leave it.
28:16Just go and calm down.
28:19Are you hurt?
28:20No, I'm fine.
28:21I'm a nurse.
28:23Get on with it.
28:26Go.
28:27Sure.
28:28Sorry.
28:29You know, I'm getting tired of this.
28:31Look at you.
28:32You could have been a contender.
28:35Takes all sorts, eh?
28:36Yeah.
28:38Before I forget,
28:40you did well.
28:41All right, thanks.
28:42A nurse?
28:44Yeah.
28:45Well, you never know when you're going to need one of them around, do you?
28:50What's that?
28:51Winnings.
28:52OK, we'll deal with that later.
28:54The blonde behind me in the denim?
28:56Uh-huh.
28:57It's Anita.
28:58You sure?
28:59Yeah.
29:01I don't think he's buying you being my girlfriend.
29:04Well, no wonder.
29:05You've been acting like I'm your sister.
29:07Eh?
29:08You haven't even kissed me all night.
29:11Do you want me to?
29:13Yeah.
29:14He's watching.
29:15Make it good.
29:17What about Chris?
29:19His work.
29:21Go.
29:27Ooh.
29:29Atlas.
29:38Interesting.
29:39Yeah.
29:43So, eh,
29:44who's that making a beeline for Anita?
29:46Right, come with me.
29:47Don't say anything.
29:50Let's go.
29:53You've hurted my arm.
29:54Come on!
29:55Let go!
29:57Let her go!
30:00This is not a police matter.
30:02No, I think you'll find it is.
30:09Can I save him?
30:10No.
30:11Not now.
30:12The blood and that money.
30:14Look at it.
30:16That's Noel's blood.
30:17No.
30:18Oh, yes.
30:20So, you and Noel were close?
30:23Yeah.
30:24He was a friend.
30:26Well, I think he was more than a friend, wasn't he?
30:29He...
30:31What?
30:33He was going to help me.
30:35Anita, what's going on here?
30:37I mean, I don't get this.
30:38You and Noel.
30:41We connected.
30:42He confided in you?
30:44Sometimes.
30:45We talked.
30:47You know, really talked.
30:50He'd tell me stuff.
30:51Real stuff.
30:52What kind of stuff?
30:54About his feelings.
30:55Oh, Jesus.
30:57Look, I'm not going to go around the houses with you here.
31:00I want some straight answers,
31:01otherwise I'm going to charge you with obstruction and conspiracy to murder,
31:05and you'll be doing cold turkey in the nick.
31:09Well, I'll tell the truth.
31:11Where did you get the money?
31:14Bomber.
31:16I'm seriously considering charging you with the murder of Noel Cash.
31:20You what?
31:21Well, he gave Anita a roll of notes with Noel's blood on it.
31:24You were jealous of his relationship with her.
31:26That's a good link.
31:27I think I could make that stick in court.
31:29But I didn't do it.
31:30Well, do you know who did?
31:32No.
31:33Well, see, that's no use to me.
31:35I mean, I've got you.
31:36I could do you for the murder.
31:39But I'm innocent.
31:40No, what you have to understand is that you're guilty by association.
31:44By evidence, by circumstance.
31:45I mean, right now, in the eyes of the law.
31:48Right now, in the eyes of the law, you are guilty.
31:53Tell me about the money.
31:55It's his purse money.
31:57And why have you got it?
31:59I went round to his dressing room after the fight.
32:02He was gone.
32:03The money was still there.
32:05I've still got it.
32:08Here.
32:11Why did you go to his dressing room?
32:13To give him a seeing to.
32:15You know what he was doing to Anita.
32:16Stringing her along.
32:18Making her stupid promises that he could never keep.
32:22I was...
32:24trying to offer her something solid.
32:27Real.
32:28He was just offering her dreams.
32:31Yeah.
32:32And Lewis Hazel verified that.
32:35Lewis?
32:36The other fighter.
32:37Well, his dressing room was right next door to Knowles.
32:40It would have been impossible for you to get in and out without him seeing you.
32:43I didn't see him.
32:44Lewis wasn't at his dressing room?
32:46No.
32:50Boss.
32:56I picked up Lewis Hazel Stranraer trying to board the ferry to Belfast with his family in his caravan.
33:11He had £15,000 in him.
33:13Where does a traveller who just lost a cash fight get money like that?
33:17He doesn't.
33:19Let me interview him, boss.
33:21I think I can get him to open up.
33:34You're lucky it's me in here, son.
33:35Because you're in a lot of trouble.
33:38Listen to me.
33:39I have your DNA all over Noel Cash's clothes.
33:41You know what that means, don't you?
33:43No.
33:44It means they can prove that you dressed Noel Cash after he died.
33:50Jesus.
33:51Yeah, shit.
33:53You're looking at a murder charge here.
33:56Do you get that, son?
33:57Yeah.
33:59Right.
34:00I'm all you've got, so this is the deal.
34:02You can either sit tight and go to prison for murder, or...
34:07Or what?
34:09Help me help you tell me what happened.
34:16I'd be a dead man walking.
34:17No.
34:19We can talk off the record.
34:21Whatever we say in here is between you and me.
34:30He just...
34:32He just dropped down dead in his dressing room after the fight.
34:36I...
34:37I couldn't...
34:39I couldn't something.
34:40Concussion.
34:41Aye, aye, that's it.
34:42You saw this?
34:43Yeah.
34:44Then what?
34:48I'd arrest him.
34:49Picked him up.
34:51Put him in the car.
34:52Dumbed the body.
34:53Yeah.
34:54All by yourself?
34:55No one helped you?
34:56Yeah.
34:57You've just blown the only chance you had of staying out of jail.
34:59What?
35:00I come in here to help you, I'm straight up with you.
35:01You treat me like some kind of a mug.
35:03I won't allow them to help you here.
35:05Wait, wait, please.
35:08I'm sorry.
35:11I'm just...
35:13What?
35:15Scared?
35:18Yeah.
35:20Okay.
35:22But I told you.
35:24It goes no further than me.
35:28You're going to have to trust me here, Lewis.
35:30In two minutes, my boss comes through that door and it's out of my hands.
35:33So it's now or never.
35:34Hurry, okay?
35:37Okay.
35:41Alamo.
35:52He called me into his dressing room.
35:54Told me McCreevie said it was my fault.
35:57I helped him with the body.
36:00And Noel was dead?
36:03Yeah.
36:08Save that.
36:09We'll need it for the court.
36:10I told him it was off the record.
36:12You know what, Robbie?
36:13You're hanging about with gangsters that much,
36:15you're starting to think like one of them.
36:17Well, he's not putting McCreevie in the dressing room.
36:19And we're going to change all that.
36:21How do you mean?
36:22McCreevie's got you in his back pocket.
36:24He handed you a wad of cash in front of Jackie.
36:27Yeah.
36:28Winnings from a legitimate bet.
36:30And I can guarantee you that was recorded in one of his security cameras.
36:33Any jury looking at that will just see a cop taking the money.
36:36Any jury looking at that will just see a cop taking money from a gangster.
36:38Okay.
36:39It was stupid, but I'm not bent.
36:41Robbie, if I didn't know that, you'd be gone already.
36:43The point is, McCreevie thinks you're bent.
36:46Or at least bendable.
36:48So go to him.
36:49Tell him that Lewis is putting him to the crime
36:51and offer to let Lewis out onto the streets for the right price.
37:01I want to see Mr McCreevie.
37:03About what?
37:04Um, about something very private.
37:15Entering the club now.
37:21I need to speak to McCreevie.
37:22He's busy right now.
37:23Dad, it won't take long, Al.
37:25I'm sorry.
37:27Look, how busy can he be in there?
37:30Dad!
37:33Let's go in there.
37:41Now stay down!
37:54Cover!
38:00Stop it!
38:02Stop it!
38:03Stop!
38:04Stop!
38:05That guy was trying to do me with a blade!
38:07He was trying to make an order to take a dive!
38:09You're a mad junkie.
38:10It's all his fault.
38:11She's off her head, is she?
38:13Get her out of here.
38:15Enough.
38:17What the hell are you doing here anyway?
38:19We got a call.
38:20One of the girls at the club tipped us off
38:22that Anita was on the warpath with a knife.
38:24You came here to save my life?
38:26Why is it I don't believe that?
38:28I really don't care what you believe.
38:30All right, let's go.
38:32Oh, and if I find out that you've been anywhere near Julie Cash,
38:36I'll bring you to a dark place and take a hammer to you.
38:40Same old work, eh?
38:54Out.
38:59So what was the plan?
39:01For you and Noel?
39:04Get out of Glasgow.
39:07Get me off drugs.
39:08Start again.
39:12Go.
39:14I don't ever want to see you again.
39:17You won't.
39:23So what happens now?
39:25Well, it's not a total loss.
39:27We still get him.
39:29I was in the crowd that night.
39:31You're short of the title.
39:35You should have won that.
39:37I mean, you really should have won it.
39:41You took a dive.
39:43I knew it.
39:44The crowd knew it, the Boxing Federation knew it.
39:48He knew it.
39:50Eddie Cash, your old coach.
39:52You didn't get me here to talk about that.
39:54Why not?
39:55How did it go down?
39:57McGreevy came to you and said,
39:58you take this hit for the firm
40:00and we'll make sure you get another crack at it.
40:03And so here you are,
40:05still taking hits for McGreevy.
40:08I do OK.
40:09Do you?
40:11Look, what you want is what I don't want.
40:15I don't want you for the murder of Noel Cash,
40:18but it looks like you've been served up to me for it.
40:21Look at this.
40:23Alamo.
40:28He called me in his dressing room.
40:30Told me McGreevy said it was my fault.
40:33I helped him move the body.
40:35And Noel was dead.
40:39Yeah.
40:43I could take that into any court in the land
40:45and get a conviction.
40:47But I can't.
40:49I could take that into any court in the land
40:51and get a conviction for murder.
40:55Charge me.
40:57Get it over with.
41:05Duncan.
41:11He's not fit for viewing.
41:13I don't think he cares.
41:19Look at him.
41:20It's your old coach, Eddie Cash.
41:22He's just been found.
41:24Beaten to a pulp with a knuckle duster.
41:32Same knuckle duster that killed his boy.
41:35Father and son.
41:37How much more damage are you going to let that bastard get away with?
41:49God damn it!
41:57He's an animal.
42:01But he owns me.
42:02I know that.
42:04I know that Noel was supposed to take a dive.
42:06But he didn't.
42:08So McGreevy's got egg in his face and a big hole in his pocket.
42:12So?
42:13I understood the kid, you know.
42:16He told McGreevy he couldn't get out.
42:18He just couldn't do it.
42:21You don't know until you're in there.
42:23And it's only when you're there,
42:26in the ring,
42:27in the moment,
42:30that's when you get the clarity.
42:34You only see who you are.
42:37Who you're made of.
42:41You know what I'm talking about.
42:43Yeah.
42:45Yeah, I do.
42:48The kid found out that he just couldn't take a dive.
42:52You know, sometimes they're wired
42:54to stay standing and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
43:00Try to explain that to McGreevy.
43:02McGreevy's never been in the ring,
43:04so he has no understanding of it.
43:06Yeah.
43:08He met a dead kid in a frenzy.
43:12It was so fast.
43:14By the time I could stop him, all the kid's head was smashed in.
43:20And he looked at me like nothing had happened.
43:22Told me to deal with it.
43:43McGreevy!
43:47You calling me out?
43:49I am.
43:52All on your own?
43:53I've got a warrant for your arrest.
43:55For the murders of Noel and Eddie Cash.
43:58Please, don't come quietly.
44:00I wouldn't dream of it.
44:02Good.
44:05You know what's going to happen now, don't you?
44:07I'm going to walk out of here over your dead body.
44:10Stop talking.
44:12Start dancing.
44:14Where's your hammer, then?
44:15In my head.
44:18The murder weapon.
44:20Thank you.
44:30I've had the whole place locked down, boss.
44:32Good.
44:34Listen, I'm sorry about...
44:35Everybody who watched Noel's fight
44:37shares a part of the responsibility for his death.
44:40Do you understand that?
44:43Yes, I do.
44:44Good.
44:46Do you also accept you're addicted to gambling?
44:49What?
44:51You're a functioning addict, Robbie.
44:54And the functioning part is getting ropey.
44:57Sir, I am not an addict.
45:00Then this will be easy.
45:02Stop gambling or stop working.
45:05What?
45:06You heard.
45:10Fine.
45:12Let's go.
