Oh, Mike... [She rushes to Mike, he comforts her.]
Okay... What happened?
I found that in the car. [She shows Mike the ransom note, which reads in newspaper headline print "DO NOT CALL COPS, HAVE £50,000 READY IN £5 NOTES. WAIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS". They head into the living room.] I only left him for a few minutes.
You left him?
In the multistorey. He was crying so much. The lift wasn't working, you cannae take pushchairs into some of the supermarkets!
You left him in the car on his own!?
Well, he was crying so much!
Stupid bloody...! [He strikes June across the face.]
Mike!
Jesus Christ! [Frustratedly sits down.]
Look, I'll phone the police.
No.
Well, you've got to, Mike!
[Shows Dougie the note] Read it, it says "no police"!
Well, what are you gonna do? Pay it?
Fifty-thousand... This is all because of David!
Well, do you know where David is? Has he been in touch with you?
No.
The police'll know!
We can't bring the police into it, Dougie! ...I know who might know... [He heads to the telephone and looks in the newspaper. He starts to dial.]
D'you want me to pick Fiona up from school?
Yeah, thanks. [Dougie heads off.]
Mike... What if David won't help us?
