What was the name of that fish | I showed you?

- A halibut. | - That's right.

Fishermen like halibut | because of their shapes.

Fishermen like to make them | their girlfriends...

...even though their body temperature | is much lower than a proper girlfriend.

- Usually, that is. | - Sandy.

Sandy, come here. Come away.

- I brought you some clothes. | - I bought you a coffee.

Your stuff's covered in paint.

What? Oh, lovely. Thanks.

- We've got to shift him. | - Where?

Somewhere it'll look okay | that nobody found him straight away.

Somewhere he might have gone | without taking you...

...where he could fall, bang his head...

...and die without us doing it.

His boat.

- He's got a boat? | - It's his secret hideaway.

It's where he goes if he wants to hide | from his big brother.

We could drop him down the hatch, | and it would look like he fell.

Traditionally, | they are very dangerous things, hatches.

- How do we get him to the boat? | - In a car.

- You told me you couldn't drive. | - I can't. Brian was giving me lessons.

At least he was screaming at me | and punching me in an old Saab.

Pluto, teatime. Come on.

What have you got?

Give it to me.

Pluto, give.

F***!

Oh, my God.

That is very, very, very bad.

Brian?

Is that you?

It's me.

I know. I didn't really think it was him.

I thought you might be | somebody checking.

I just wanted to see if you were...

...all right, you know, and...

...I wanted to say thank you for...

...everything.

Don't be silly.

You're welcome. Go to sleep.

Night-night.

Sleep tight.

- You, too.

Sleep tight.

"Don't let the bugs bite."

Hi, Miss Peploe.

Detective Inspector Hepburn, | Eastern and District CID.

- Hello, Inspect... Detector. | - George is okay.

I'm Petula.

Sorry, I didn't sleep very well.

Come in, please. Sorry I'm not up.

Sorry.

Please, allow me.

Would you mind waiting here | till I'm dressed?

Of course.

- You going in to work? | - I have to.

They won't mind if I'm late, though.

Who won't mind? Ronnie McMinn?

Big softie, isn't he?

You a friend of his?

There's no such thing as friends | on the golf course, I'm afraid.

So, Petula, you work for Brian McMinn?

Well, I work for his big brother, technically.

How long have you been living with Brian?

A year.

How long have you worked for the firm?

About a week longer | than we've been living together.

Love at first sight, eh?

Absolutely.

It really was very much | and completely that.

Firstly, I should ask you:

Do you have any idea | where your boyfriend might be?

None.

- You last saw him? | - Tuesday night.

We'd been for dinner. We came home.

Brian sat up drinking, and I went to bed.

I suppose I just drank too much.
