Taggart, Series 1

Ronnie:
Anything you want to say to Jo, you can say in front of me.

Taggart:
[Seeing Jo and David walk past the doorway] Jo? David? [They enter the living room]

Jo:
What's it about now? The kidnapping?

Livingstone:
Not quite. We found the trunk we were looking for - we wonder if you recognise it. [Livingstone shows Jo a photo of the trunk.]

Jo:
...No, I've told you.

Livingstone:
Are you quite sure? [He shows her another photo.]

Jo:
...Yes!

Livingstone:
It was never in O'Donnell's room?

Jo:
[Finally snapping] Why don't you people ever believe me?

Ronnie:
Satisfied? She's been through enough because of him! [Nodding at David]

David:
Listen, you'll have to excuse me, I've got stuff to pack. [Starts to leave the room]

Taggart:
David? [David stops in his tracks] Where are you taking your money abroad? Oh, this is Detective Sergeant Livingstone, I don't think you've met.

David:
How'd you know I was going abroad?

Taggart:
I figured a fellow like you would have bought a car if you hadnae intended on leaving the country.

David:
There's no crime in it.

Livingstone:
We hear your brother approached you about the ransom?

David:
That's right.

Jo:
I knew nothing about it until this morning.

David:
I didn't tell anyone. Mike... wanted it kept secret from the police and the press.

Livingstone:
And you refused to help him?

David:
It's my money! He never helped me!

Taggart:
He did. For a year after you were in prison.

David:
And then he deserted me!

Taggart:
Bet you'd do anything to get back at him, wouldn't you? Anything at all.

David:
Are you accusing me?

Taggart:
Who says?

David:
Because I've been accused before. Okay... I hate my brother, but I don't hate him that much! And I'd never hurt a kid. I know who could have done it. [Taggart's glances at David] Norman Burt. [Sheila's husband] He... got out of Barlinnie a week before me. Ask Jo.

Jo:
Just because he had towels in his bike box?

Taggart:
Towels?

Jo:
He goes swimming. That was a confidence placed in me by a client. Thank you, David, thank you very much(!)
