Two contractors from Davies Marine Services were found drowned in the harbour the morning after Vigil’s crew went wild. Longacre met a former Vigil crew member who told her to “look at Davies”. He claimed he had been spiked by a shipmate. Ahem.īack in BBC drama-land, the navy falsified negative urine tests, but Burke got himself privately tested and proved positive for LSD, contradicting the official results. Strong echoes of the real-life Royal Navy kicking nine sailors off a nuclear sub after a drugs and sex scandal in 2017. In a “party boat” incident, 15 submariners were arrested for being drunk, disorderly and drugged-up.

After a tense three-minute chase by a black SUV (TV shorthand for sinister), she confronted her pursuers in a multi-storey car park.
Longacre rapidly realised she was being tailed, too. Her laptop had been stolen and she was being followed. What’s more, she was convinced MI5 had spies in the peace camp. Jade was Cruden’s long-lost daughter from “a fling back in his CND days”. This wasn’t, as Longacre assumed, due to an affair or a spying arrangement. They were paying Jade a grand a month and had a history of late-night phone calls.
Running the number plate of the car that collected Jade from Kirkmouth police station took the dogged detective into the heart of Holyrood politics – first to the spin doctor Mark Hill (Oliver Lansley never trust a smooth Sassenach in a Scotland-set drama) and then his boss, the MSP Patrick Cruden (Stephen McCole).
Were we any closer to learning who poisoned Able Seaman Steve Arnott and drowned his girlfriend? Let’s plunge into the third slice of soggy sleuthing … Things are getting spooky …Īfter the murders of “wee gobshite” CPO Craig Burke (Martin Compston) and activist Jade Antoniak (Lauren Lyle), DS Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) was investigating a coordinated attack on the whistle-blowing couple.
