Taggart · Season 1, Episode 15

Murray, Taggart and others in “Unfinished Business”

Murray

Don't think of a poster campaign as a sign of failure.

Taggart

I do, sir.

Murray

You can't crack every case if forty-eight hours.

Taggart

They're no' up yet.

Murray

[Getting into his car.] If there's some public response, that'll be a success.

Taggart

It seemed such a simple one at first.

Murray

[Laughs] Golf's like that! It's often the simpler shots that turn out the most difficult. [He shuts the car door.]

Taggart

I'll take your word for it.

Murray

[Winds the window down] You should take up golf when this is over. Ease that tension a bit. [Taggart rolls his eyes.] I've always said you needed a hobby. [Murray drives away. Taggart and Livingstone walk towards Taggart's car.]

Livingstone

I have my own car tonight.

Taggart

You know what haunts me? Knowing it's Billy boy and not being able to prove it.

Livingstone

Why did he cut her hair off at the roots?

Taggart

What did he do with it?

Livingstone

He could be telling the truth.

Taggart

Or he could be clever. [Opens his car door] Six hours' kip, all right?

Livingstone

It'll have to be. See you in the morning.

Taggart

[Gets into his car] You live alone?

Livingstone

Yes, sir.

Taggart

Will you stop calling me that?! I thought you'd be fixed up.

Livingstone

There was someone in Edinburgh.

Taggart

Young and pretty, was she?

Livingstone

[Chuckles] I nearly married her.

Taggart

Why didn't you?

Livingstone

She didn't want to be married to a policeman.

Taggart

She had brains! [Closes the car door and drives off.]
