The team travels to the house where the girls had been kept but only finds Niki's body. They find the house belongs to Duncan, who claims it should be vacant. Tosh finds that Olivia's alibi for the Hayes murders is invalid. Olivia threatens to drive the car with her and Jamie in it off a cliff but is stopped by Pérez. Sandy is questioned about events around Calum's suicide. The team arranges for Olivia to call McGuire and offer to pay the ransom. Upon arriving at the dropoff, McGuire receives a call alerting him to the setup and drives off. He goes off the road, but the team finds Zezi is not in the van. Worried about Cassie and his business problems, Duncan drinks until he passes out on the beach. The next morning he finds four bodies in the water.During filming, the cast and crew are usually based in Glasgow [15] and other areas of mainland Scotland. [9] [2] Filming often takes place in areas with landscape or buildings reminiscent of those in the Shetland Islands, such as Kilbarchan in Renfrewshire, Barrhead, where Henshall was born and grew up, [16] Ayr and Irvine, North Ayrshire. "My character’s house is actually in Kilbarchan, the interior of a couple of crofts are here [in Irvine, Ayrshire] and the police station is in Barrhead", Henshall said in a 2019 interview. [17]
