'It wasn't--' 'Oh aye, our wee boy's a bona fide police hero!' She wrapped her arm round Logan and gave him an affectionate shoogle. 'Shame he's so bloody ugly.'
EXTERIOR: A graveyard in Aberdeen - Union Street. Church in background. Noises of traffic and seagulls. CAPTION: Detective Sergeant Logan McRae MCRAE: I'd rather not, to be honest. VOICEOVER: But you were instrumental in catching The Mastrick Monster? MCRAE: Do we have to do this, Alec? VOICEOVER: Come on, it'll make for good telly. And if you don't tell us we'll just get it from someone else. MCRAE: [shifts uncomfortably] Look, there's nothing to tell. It was a joint operation, I just happened to be there at the end. Now can we just drop it? [end tape]
INTERIOR: An untidy office in Grampian Police Headquarters. CAPTION: Detective Inspector Roberta Steel. STEEL: [finishes a cigarette and flicks it out of open office window] Right, where were we? VOICEOVER: We've done Insch, Rennie and McInnis. That leaves DS Beattie, Doctor McAllister, Inspector Nairn and DS McRae. STEEL: Right, we'll do McRae next. My hair look OK to you? VOICEOVER: Well ... it'll be fine. STEEL: Good, got my public to think of ... you'll edit out that bit with me smoking, aye? I'll no' hear the end of it otherwise. OK, June 2004, and we've got fifteen women in the morgue. The press are calling him the Mastrick Monster - he stabs his victims, then rapes them while they die. Sick bastard. Anyway, the investigation's going nowhere when up pops Detective Constable Logan McRae. He goes digging and unearths Angus Robertson - turns out Robertson works in a sandwich shop that delivers all over Aberdeen, that's how he was picking his victims-- [loud rattling cough - goes on for nearly a minute] Ah ... fucking hell ... [presses hand to chest] Bastard ... Anyway, something happens and Robertson finds out he's a suspect: he goes bonkers, snatches McRae's girlfriend, and there's a big showdown on the roof of this tower block. All very dramatic. McRae takes Robertson
