---

yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. Henderson says

you were the last person

to talk with Mr. Henderson.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Now, there's no need

to be so nervous, Mr. Thomson,

This is...

- I quite understand.

- ...Routine.

I quite understand.

Did Mr. Henderson tell you

where he was going?

He... He said something

about, uh...

going to the shops.

Uh, he asked me to lock up,

and then he... left.

Was it normal

for Mr. Henderson

to go to the shops after work?

You know,

I-I-I don't really know

wh-what Mr. Henderson

did outside of work,

because we weren't really

friends.

Wasn't really friends.

Mm-hmm.

Um, did you suspect

that something

might have happened

to Mr. Henderson'?

I quite understand.

Sorry?

Slip of the tongue,

you know how it is.

What'?

Speaking to the police.

You know, this'?

You know... heh...

You... You feel guilty,

even though you...

you've never done nothing wrong.

I mean, it's not as if

I've stabbed Wullie

with a pair of scissors

or anything like that, you know?

Would... Would you like

a glass of water'?

No, I'm fine.

Where was your colleague,

Mr. Porter, when you Wasn't

stabbing Mr. Henderson

with your scissors?

Oh, he-he-he left early,

because we weren't

very busy that day.

That bit about the stabbing?

That was just a joke.

You think

this is funny, Mr. Thomson?

Not at all.

I'm only joking.

You have no idea

how nervous you look!

Did Mr. Henderson

tell you that he was not

gonna have you

in the shop anymore?

I have no knowledge of that.

See, Mr. Henderson's father

says that Mr. Henderson

was gonna tell you about it

yesterday.

Did he say anything to you'?

No.

Oh, well!

That's us.

Would you send

Mr. Porter in, please?

Yes.

Oh.

I used to sometimes

hide in toilet cubicles,

you know, convinced

I was about to die,

and I went to see this man.

Do you know What

he said to me'?

He said the biggest instigator

of a panic attack is...?

Guilty conscience.

Look at that.

Here she comes.

Here comes that girl again.

One of the cutest

since I don't know when.

But she don't notice me

when I pass.

She goes with all the guys

from outta my class.

But that can't stop me

from thinkin' to myself.

Shes sure fine lookin'. Man

she's something else.

Mum'? Mum!

Can I have a word'?

What? Carry on, girls,

regardless!

What are you thinking?

Mr. Johnstone,

in the bowling club,

has a brain tumour...

out like a light.

Nobody had thought

to arrange anything

after the funeral,

so I brought

the girls back here.

Have you seen Mrs. Gaffney?

Last week, she wandered

into the laundrette

in her nightie!

Where the fucks Wullie'?

Cemolina, have you got

a carpet sweeper?
