Who kidnapped Isla Breck? Why was she in Rory Dashford’s home?
In the first episode of the BBC One drama, Lindo and Bart tracked Isla Breck when she was named as a connection to Clellan Coburn’s murder case.
But, at the end of the episode, someone grabbed her from the street and put her in their van!
Lindo bravely jumped in the van along with her, and luckily Bart was able to track down the van where Lindo was found.
But the van driver and Isla Breck were gone…
It was later revealed that Isla’s husband, Frank Breck, was killed whilst working for Clellan’s oil rigs.

In episode 2, Ewan MacClure said that Clellan’s brother Shay had ordered him to kidnap Isla.
Ewan said he was told to take her because she had “damaging information” about Clellan, to the point that Shay believed Isla had killed him.
But when Isla turned up in the home of oil rig worker Rory Dashford (whose keys were found with Clellan’s body), we were even more confused!
Lindo – who DCI Cora Macmillan (Dawn Steele) had struck off for repeatedly breaking protocol – turned up at Rory’s home to question him.
He discovered Isla in the home after hearing her and demanded answers.
Isla revealed that she and Shay Coburn actually had a romantic relationship!
She thought that Shay kidnapped her because she knew too much; she believed that Shay killed Clellan and he was framing her.

Clellan changed his will to leave everything to Karolina Andersen, the new energy official he had been working with.
