Liz, Livingstone and others in “Unfinished Business”

Would you like some tea? I made some scones.

Yes, please.

No, thanks. [Liz heads into the kitchen.]

Beaut, come on. Off the man's knee.

I don't mind dogs, honestly.

Sometimes her bum's no' clean. Come on. [Gets Beaut off Livingstone.] There you go.

Do you walk her down there regularly?

Yeah, every night.

He hasnae managed the last two nights, have you, Michael?

No.

Were you doon there the night before last?

What, the night before the murder?

Aye.

Aye, about... half eleven?

Sure it wasn't later?

He was back here by quarter to twelve.

Did you see anyone else hanging around?

No.

Must be dark down there at night.

Yeah, I carry a torch.

He's walked it often enough.

You ever, um... you ever seen anyone suspicious hanging aboot doon there?

Well, I see other people, but never... well, never any looking funny.

How "funny"?

Well, suspicious.

It's mostly other dog walkers.

And joggers.

D'you think it was somebody that lives local?

We don't know.

Look, I wish I could be more helpful.

[Gets a picture of Eileen Ballantyne out of his coat pocket and holds it in front of Michael and Liz] You ever see that girl before?

Is she the one?

No, sorry.

[Putting the picture back in his pocket, as he and Livingstone get up off the sofa] Well, if you happen to remember anything, let us know.

Aye, I will.

Michael, write the man's name down.

Oh, aye, it's Mr. Taggart, in't it? [Looks for a pen.]

Here, take one of these. [Hands Michael a contact card.]

'[Taking the card] Thanks.

We've never had the police here before.

Not that unpleasant an experience. That's an attractive perfume you're wearing.

I treat myself now and again.

Well, we'll no' take up any more of your time.

I'll see you out.

[As he and Taggart leave] Thanks, Michael.

Yeah. Sorry I couldn't be any more helpful.
