Shetland on ABC and ABC iview S8E5 – Calder is packing her bags to leave when there is a knock from two officers at her hotel door. At the roadside, Sandy tries and fails to keep her from the horrifying sight.
Tosh asks the Sadats if Ellen’s struggles may have been related to Akmal’s death. They see no connection. Ellen barely knew Akmal and wasn’t present the day he drowned. But after Tosh leaves, Farida begins to unravel.
A voicemail from the night before places Calder’s suspicions firmly on Bobby. Tosh resists Calder’s demands to make an arrest and asks Sandy to look after her. But when Sandy finds evidence of drug dealing at the Innes house and James points the finger at Neil Bain, Calder is back on an investigative footing.
The Sadats’ lawyer accuses Tosh of harassment. A horrified Harry asks Tosh to back off, but the warning shot only deepens her suspicion. She combs through the case file and discovers evidence which challenges the official version of Akmal’s death. Harry and Donnie beg Tosh to tread carefully, but she has picked up the scent.
Calder persuades a reluctant Sandy to put the heat on Neil Bain. Under pressure, a panicking Neil squeals on Bobby’s interest in his drug dealing.
When Calder and Sandy look further into Bobby’s life, they discover a recent trip to London. Calder wonders why Bobby would have kept such a trip secret, until shocking intelligence from her Met colleagues puts Bobby Bain in an entirely new light.
Tired of pretending, Farida admits the heart-breaking truth behind Akmal’s death. Tosh must put her sympathy on hold to investigate a compelling new motive for the murder of Ellen Quinn.
