02x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Hey.

Eugene Cassidy.

Eugene?

What are you doing with that thing?

No, I'll ask the questions.

sh*t.

I have a lot of questions.

I hear you going by the

name Elliot Stanley now.

Yeah, that's a hell

of a thing, isn't it?

Yeah. That's a good place to start.

Who is that? And why do

we have the same name?

Put the w*apon down

there, Eugene, will ya?

- And then we can talk.

- Don't call me that.

We can have a proper

man to man conversation.

Just lower the g*n.

Do you have any idea what it's like

to wake up every day and realise that,

that for most of your life, you've

You've no idea where you've been

or what you've done or even

what your own name is?

It has a way of making the world

look like a very suspicious place,

and I'm sick to death of it.

So just tell me,

huh?

Why did your kids take me?

There's something that I want.

Something I've been looking for.

For a long time now,

and my children thought taking

you would help me get it.

How?

Now that wasn't my

idea, but it's done now

and it's set in motion

something that I can't stop.

[BACKGROUND NOISE]

Now that'll be my people.

You haven't got long now

So just start telling the truth.

Who is Elliot Stanley and

why is that statue of him?

You're the one walking

around with his name.

Would you just stop with the

cryptic sh*t and answer me?

If you sh**t me,

they won't just come for you.

Do you know that?

I heard you came over with a woman.

Girlfriend, is it?

Are you threatening her?

You may not remember,

but I do.

I remember how bad things were

between our families, and I know

how bad they could be again.

So go talk to your mother.

She can help stop the v*olence.

Aye, Fergal mentioned

her. Niamh Cassidy, right?

Oh, what else did my grandson tell you?

Your grandson?

You think that you've got the bollocks

to sh**t someone that you don't

even remember in cold blood?

That's the sort of

man you are now, is it?

[DOOR SLAMS]

[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]

Lads! Come down here!

Quick!

Eugene!

[MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY]

Oh.

I'm sorry. OK, OK, I really am.

- I'm sorry.

- Then maybe stop.

OK?

You can just put that thing away

and we can just rewind to five

minutes ago, before any

of this ever happened.

No harm done. And

and everyone,

everyone's super happy.

You know, I can't let you go now.

Can't let me go or

or won't let me go?

I didn't k*ll her.

I didn't say that you k*lled her.

It was cancer. It was

It was stupid bloody colon cancer.

- Hey

- Now back off, OK?

Back off!

OK, OK.

Your wife d*ed of cancer, and

you put her body in the basement.

- That's

- I couldn't bear to let her go.

Look, grief does strange

things to a person.

Ruairi I I get that.

But it doesn't mean that you have to

go and make things worse.

Oh, God, I love your accent.

Um.

You know, you remind me of her.

You do.

You know, the first time I set eyes

on you, it's like the air went

out of me, you know?

It was like my Mary was stood

there in front of me again.

Look, you haven't, you haven't

done anything wrong yet.

Let's walk out of here right now like,

- nothing ever happened.

- OK.

- Hey?

- Yeah.

- Right.

- Yeah.

OK. I need to take care of a few things.

OK, so so I'm gonna need your phone.

- Hey

- Come on.

OK.

And just, just go.

OK.

Um.

Um.

I'm

I'm going to need you to, um.

Just, if you just take a seat there.

Come on. Please. Come on.

OK.

Just to the handle.

Hurry up.

[SHUTS DOOR]

[SHUTS DOOR]

[LOCKS DOOR]

[DOG BARKING IN BACKGROUND]

Yes, I have the address.

They'll be there in 15 minutes.

Monsieur Tioté.

It's been a while.

To what do I owe the honour?

Don't know if you've heard, but charm

and insincerity don't mix well.

Frank's people took my boy.

I need your help finding him.

You know I do not take sides.

I just need you to

keep an eye out, is all.

Huh.

Frank's already talked

to you, hasn't he?

My boy got away, and you

agreed to help find him.

What happened to not taking sides?

What would your dad think?

He came here to drive

people from A to B.

You're the one who turned yourself

into an overpaid go-between.

The truce is over now, Mrs. Cassidy.

And you're not what you once were.

[SLAMS DOOR]

Tomasz,

get everyone together.

[HELEN'S ANSWER PHONE]

Leave a message after

the ba da da da bop bop bop beep!

[HELEN'S ANSWER PHONE]

Leave a message after

the ba da da da bop bop bop beep!

Hey, it's me, again.

I'm at the hotel now.

Finally.

Where are you?

I've so much to tell you.

I don't know where to start.

You're probably out

looking for me somewhere.

Um,

would you just text or,

or call or whatever?

Just

Just let me know you're OK.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[REPEATED KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Helen, is that you?

Huh?

Elliot Stanley.

That's your name, is it not?

I'm sorry, I don't

Ethan Krum.

Ethan Krum?

What the f*ck?

I'm not here to hurt you, if that's

what you're worried about.

No, I wasn't thinking you were.

Where is Helen?

She didn't come back last night.

I I must have fallen asleep.

Oh,

so she disappears all night,

and you catch your 40 winks.

I got f*cking kidnapped.

Hmm. Well,

that explains why you look

like poo there, friendo.

I'm not your friend.

We've never even met.

Sorry, why are you here?

Well, back in medieval England,

in the olden times, they used to fight

duels and the men would battle

over the women they loved.

That's why I'm here, Elliott Stanley.

To fight a duel.

Not an actual duel

Yeah, well, I don't have time for this.

- I've gotta find her.

- Well, so do I.

Because I've changed.

I've come to seek Helen's heart.

And if I can't have her heart,

then let it be her forgiveness.

And if I can't have her forgiveness,

well, then I heard the

Guinness is better here.

Sorry, are you not listening to me?

The day I arrived here, I got kidnapped.

Whoever took me has

probably taken Helen.

Which means she's in trouble.

And I'm standing here

talking nonsense to you.

So if you wouldn't mind just pissing off

Ethan Krum, that would be great.

I'm gonna go and talk to the police.

I have her last known location.

We have a shared location

thing on our phones.

I mean, I did, I just,

just so I could see

where she was at all times.

It was it was totally consensual,

in that, I think she would have been

fine with it, had I told her.

But we could take it

to the police station.

Or you could, you know,

just so I don't have to

explain why I have it.

Or we could go there

now, find her faster.

Good thinking, friendo. Oh

Yeah. You're gonna have

to stop saying that.

[ELECTRONIC BEEP]

Help!

Someone.

Help! Please!

Oh, God.

[DOOR OPENING]

Save your voice.

You can't hear anything

through these walls.

The man

built this place after

reading up on nuclear missiles,

and that in the paper.

Walls as thick as her legs.

Why did you come here last night anyway?

You were saying you found something.

I read the DNA report from

the bottles at the crime scene.

Oh.

I didn't think you needed to know.

What about Elliot?

Would you have told him?

I mean, it's only his

life we're talking about.

What about yours?

You're a long way from home, digging

into your boyfriend's family tree.

When do you start living your life?

Please,

please, just let me go.

Please.

A glass of water, then at least?

Please. I'm so thirsty.

[TURNS ON TAP]

Strange having somebody here.

Someone who's not, you know

Inanimate?

[LAUGHS]

Our first house was like something

out of a time machine.

It was ancient, like.

And I swore I'd fix the kitchen there.

But

We grew to love it, you know?

So that's why we've rebuilt down here.

And I was going to show

my Mary as a surprise.

Only the day I

was going to show it.

So now, I just, I come down here

and I remember how it used to be.

Because that's the thing about memories.

You can live in them.

What are you gonna do with me, Ruairi?

You can't keep me down here forever.

No, this this was the

dress she had on the night

we got engaged.

She was making me pork and beans.

Do you like pork and beans?

I

Oh, Jesus, the pork and

beans she would make.

She'd slice the sausages

up into little discs.

It's perfection.

People are gonna be

wondering where I am.

So there she was, you know,

she's standing at the stove

making me pork and beans,

and she has this dress on.

And

I went over, I put on

that song, "Piano Man."

And we danced.

We danced the whole song.

We danced all five minutes

and 39 seconds of it.

And at the end

I told her I loved her very much.

And I asked her to marry me.

I'm not her.

I know.

What do you think Mary would do?

I mean, if she knew what you were doing.

Don't you dare talk about her.

[GASPS]

[SLAMS DOOR]

[YELLING]

Not the right sort of people.

No class.

- No!

- Peasant folk.

That's the kind of entitled bollocks,

those smarmy, up their own arses, c**t

McDonnell's would say,

if you asked them about

one of us, isn't it?

Let them think wearing a suit

makes them somehow better than us.

We play by our own rules.

[CROWD ROARS]

- And we do very well,

thank you very much.

Jimmy here's got himself a

hot tub, haven't you, Jimmy?

[CROWD ROARS]

Mona's got herself something

silky from Isabel Morales.

Whoever the bollocks that is.

So

Are we going to sit idly by

while those f*cking idiots

try to take my boy?

[CROWD SHOUTS] No!

Get out there!

Ask your friends, your

brothers, your sisters.

You find him

and bring him back home.

[CROWD ROARS]

And what about you?

What about me?

You know they must come for you now.

Let them come.

What good does it do any of us?

If you're k*lled?

Then what do you suggest?

Abbey house.

I swore I'd never go back to that place.

How could you let him go?

I'll give you three guesses.

I've come all this way.

We don't have him, so we

can't give you what you want.

But you will find him.

Frank knows now, so we find him,

he's going straight to Frank.

If I never sent him that letter,

he would have never come to Ireland.

What can I say? sh*t happens.

We had a deal.

We were useful to each other.

Now, we're not.

You know,

he would talk about you sometimes.

He would laugh about you,

about your name.

Oh, if Donal McDonnell can see me now.

You know how many Donald McDonnell's

I had to call before I found you?

A surprising amount

for such a stupid name.

Like Orla says,

Frank knows now.

Things are different.

You should have k*lled him

when you had the chance.

Wait.

Sorry, about back there.

Yeah, I'm sure you are.

My sister

does what she's told.

Me?

Not so much.

I'm going to put a

b*llet in Eugene Cassidy.

I can offer you a front row

seat, if you're so inclined,

because I know what he did to you.

And to your friends.

That's not what we agreed.

It's what I'm offering.

Do you really think you can find him?

He's dangerous.

[ELECTRONIC BEEP]

Helen.

Hel Shortbread.

What do you think she's doing out here?

Don't know. Looking for me, maybe?

So you got her caught up

in something else, then?

Listen, I didn't choose this. Any of it.

Are you sure about that?

Only if I've learned

anything since Helen left me,

it's that everything is a choice.

You know, the way we talk to a person,

the kind of food we consume,

whether or not we wee sitting down.

Hold on. Are you saying that I

choose for Helen to disappear?

I'm saying we create our

own stories, not my words.

Those of Damien Spongle,

my internet therapist.

You talk an awful lot of shite.

So last I heard, you and Helen

were travelling the world.

Why'd you come back to the motherland?

Looking for answers, I guess,

to find out who I am.

Not that I'm any closer.

And whose idea was that?

Both of us, I suppose.

I sense uncertainty.

It was her, wasn't it?

I'd put an affordable wager on that.

She never could just let things lie,

could our Helen.

She's a born detective.

Trust me, she won't stop digging

until all your secrets are laid bare.

- Where is she?

- Well, according to this,

she should be

Right here.

Are you sure that's right?

Helen!

Shortbread, it is I.

Ethan Krum.

Shortbread!

No!

No no.

Miss me already, do you?

- Where is she?

- Where's who?

My girlfriend Helen.

You've taken her.

Oh, deep breaths there Eugene.

Untwist those f*cking knickers of yours.

I don't have your girlfriend.

Bullshit. Well, it's some

coincidence I get taken in,

and what, she suddenly just disappears?

What would be the point

unless it was to get to you?

I'd spend less time worrying about

me and look to your own family.

Can't trust the stinking lot of them.

[PHONE DISCONNECTS]

Are you able to track

where she was before this?

Wait. What is going on?

Did you find out who took her?

Go on your phone and your

creepy f*cking stalker app

are able to find out where

she was? Can you do that?

I can, I can do that.

Uh, I can do that. Um.

Uh. All right, I got it.

Do we go to the police now or what?

f*ck that. We're gonna

find her right now.

So I just spoke with Eugene Cassidy.

Seems he's misplaced his girlfriend.

Would that be something you

or your father know about?

No.

It's not like he tells

me nothing anyway.

Anything

That's a double negative, that's called.

Mm-hm.

Something else I've

been pondering on, also.

How did Eugene ever get off that island?

Given the current is so strong.

He must be a mighty swimmer,

to make it that far.

I don't know nothing.

Another of your double negatives there.

- Yeah.

- Huh?

Sorry.

Why did you want me to stick around?

Just to wish you luck for

Irish school this week is all.

Good to stay sharp on your Gaeilge, eh?

Looks like you're about to

k*ll somebody or something.

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

[LAUGHS LOUDLY]

Oh.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[FURNITURE SCRAPING]

What the f*ck is this still doing here?

You said,

after you left,

no one wants to come here.

So you all just

You didn't think, did you?

No one ever thinks.

[WATER RUNNING]

I can arrange for this.

You don't have to.

But I do, don't I?

Because if you want blood cleaning off

the floor, seems like you

got to do it yourself.

[SCRUBBING FLOOR]

[RINGS DOORBELL]

[RINGS DOORBELL]

[TV PLAYS IN BACKGROUND]

[GRUNTS]

Nope.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

He's gone out.

Who?

In and out he goes, like

a cat, he is. So busy.

I don't like to be busy.

It's not for me.

Right. But, uh, who

are we talking about?

The guy who lives here?

Hey, we're looking for someone.

You must be hungry.

Come in.

Come on.

Her name is Helen.

Her phone says she was here.

She's, uh, Australian.

You must be so hungry.

All you detectives work so hard.

OK.

Hello!

Oh, no, we're not detectives.

You must have confused

us with someone

I need to get you a bite to eat.

Oh.

Come on.

Come on.

I always wish

Ruairi had taken a wife.

But he never married.

Hello.

Can I Can I help you?

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

I'm looking for a woman named Helen.

I'm Elliott, I'm her boyfriend.

And I'm Ethan.

The ex and former poster

child for toxic masculinity.

Reformed, I may add.

OK. Uh,

OK. Sorry.

You're looking for, uh,

Helen Chambers, is it?

Her phone said that this

was her last known location.

Right? Yes. [LAUGHS]

[BANGS ON DOOR]

Helen came to me to, to,

to find you, actually.

Sorry. I'm Detective Sergeant Slater.

I was working on your case, and, uh.

Case closed. Here you are.

[LAUGHS]

[SCREAMS]

Did she say anything that

might help us find out

what happened to her?

No.

Uh, just that she did have a lead,

and, uh, I said I'd go with her,

but I was on a call,

and she wouldn't wait.

What is that smell?

Are you getting that?

Help!

Hello!

Sorry, Detective Slater, did she

It's actually just the pipes.

You know, they've been playing up.

Uh, I'm going to need to get a pole.

I don't think so, mate.

What have you got in those pipes?

Oh, it's quite the pole you

need for these pipes of mine.

Can we stop talking about pipes?

Sorry, did she say anything else?

I'm worried she might be in trouble.

[SCREAMS]

No. Nothing.

No. Um

I can put out an alert.

Ask the boys to keep an eye.

My number's on there

if you hear anything.

What's a Ned talk?

What's a Ned talk?

Give us that there.

This is my number.

If you, uh, call me first.

Yeah. Or me?

No, don't. Don't listen to him.

Thank you.

[SIGHS]

That's that then.

The boys in blue or green, maybe?

They're on the case.

Guinness?

That guy says that Helen

found a lead looking for me.

sh*t, if we knew what

that was and maybe

We can't just wait around

doing nothing while she's

I could find out where

she was before this.

You know, the signal is a bit patchy,

so there might be some gaps, but

we could sort of retrace

her movements, so to speak.

Would that be helpful?

Yes, Ethan, that that

would be helpful. Thank you.

Yeah.

Help!

Why are you looking at me like that?

What?

If an Irish deer runs across that

road, you'll go through that

windshield and turn into catsup.

Oh, right. OK.

Could have just said put your belt on.

Would have saved us a lot

of f*cking time there, Ethan.

Don't talk down to me, OK?

I'm sure you and Helen have

had a good laugh about me

and heck knows I get it.

I didn't treat her right, I didn't.

But I heard what you did.

Do you realise how that makes me feel?

Knowing that you were the hero

that swept her off her feet.

The man who put dr*gs inside women

like their suitcases and sent

them off into the skies.

Let's just go.

Helen needs our help.

[STARTS ENGINE]

[DOOR SLAMS]

Hey.

Mary.

I, uh I thought

maybe you might like some

pork and beans and

and then we can listen to Piano Man.

Huh.

Well, that would be nice.

Yeah.

Uh. Yeah.

I'm gonna need some ingredients

and some cutlery and,

and a Kn*fe.

Um, to cut the little slices.

Oh.

Could also use a candle.

You know.

The smell.

Oh, right.

Gotcha. Yeah.

Right. I'd better get going

on those supplies, then.

[DOOR SHUTS]

Oh!

What are you doing?

Have you looked around?

We are not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.

[DOOR SHUTS]

[ELECTRONIC BEEP]

Listen,

if things kick off, don't worry.

I've got a r*pe whistle.

Good to know.

Hey,

uh, have you seen a woman

was in here yesterday?

Australian, brown hair

Cute as a button.

Well, he's he's not wrong

about that, actually.

I wasn't here yesterday.

OK. Who was?

- Derek.

- Right.

Where's Derek?

Oh, he's coming in like an hour or so.

You can wait,

as long as you order a drink.

Well, it seems fate has

other plans in store.

Two Guinness, please.

All right.

Guinness. Guinnesses.

Guinnessi?

Yeah, I got eyes on your man there.

Yeah, I saw him myself

not two minutes ago.

You have to go to the pub.

At least they will not have far to go.

Yeah.

- Frank?

- Yes.

It's me.

So,

pork and beans, huh?

Mary's invention.

We both got home late one night.

She worked for the ambulances.

See? She says,

"Ruairi, I got pork and I got beans."

And I says, pork and beans

it is then.

And that's how pork

and beans came about.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, uh, why don't you come

take a look at these, um.

These slices thin enough?

I can see from here,

they're perfect, like.

OK.

This is fixing to be the best

day I've had since my Mary

What I'm trying to say is, is

when this is over, we'll work

something out. I'll let you go.

You make it sound so simple.

You don't believe me?

You kidnapped me.

This isn't me.

I've never done anything

like this before.

Not ever.

That's like saying I've never

had a parking ticket before.

So if I get one, I

shouldn't have to pay it.

But people do say that all the time.

First offence and all that,

you're a police officer.

Was.

You understand?

I understand right and

wrong, is what I understand.

How does that work with your man, then?

Excuse me?

With him,

being a Cassidy and all.

That's not

Tell me, tell me about Mary.

Tell me how you two first met.

Oh.

Oh, now, there's a tale.

It's a tale she'll be

telling though, 'cos

Back in the day, I'd

enjoy a drink or five.

So the actual moment we

met is a bit of a blur.

The night I can't remember

with a woman I can't forget.

That's what I've always said.

It was a friend's party.

Friend of a friend and

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[RUAIRI MUMBLES IN BACKGROUND]

You should probably go back

to cooking, shouldn't you?

I can set the table.

Don't you worry about that.

Right.

You won't be needing that

Kn*fe anymore, will you?

No,

no I won't.

Mhm.

Ah.

You're not going to have yours?

There's people out there looking for me,

and I'm just sitting

here like a f*cking

Hey, sorry.

You said that Derek

was gonna be an hour.

It's been longer than that.

That's Derek for you.

That's Derek for you, great.

What are we even doing?

I mean, is this even gonna

make a f*cking difference?

Oh, we're doing something.

I wish I hadn't spent so much

time sitting around my house

dreaming about my ex.

Your current girlfriend.

At least now I'm here

and I'm fighting for her.

This worked best when we didn't talk.

If you could do it all over again,

would you still come back here?

Uh, well, I got kidnapped, and now

Helen's been kidnapped, so, you know,

I think on balance, it's probably a no.

Yeah, but you said

yourself your family's here.

It might be hard, but you're

learning about yourself.

Are you actually ready

to walk away from that?

See whatever you're paying

your internet therapist,

it's too much.

Follow me.

Derek.

Right lads, don't want any trouble.

Frank McDonnell is looking for you.

OK. Thanks for that.

Whoa!

Ugh, can you not with the g*n?

Can you not with the g*n, please?

[GLASS SMASHING]

OK, this really doesn't seem

like a 'me' sort of encounter.

Come on.

[SHOUTING]

Get off me! Go!

Come here.

Come on then. Who wants it?

Huh?

Come on then.

Come on.

[GRUNTS]

Ah!

Hold on. I got him.

[GRUNTS]

Please, please don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me. Ah, ah!

Who's the f*cking..?

Go, go!

- You have to drive.

- Why?

- I can't drive stick.

That's some good pork and beans.

As long as there's pork and as long as

there's beans, she'd say there'll

always be pork and beans.

She sounds like

a wise woman.

A poet, she was.

That's how I knew. See?

Only our third date.

I knew I'd ask her to marry me.

Really?

You were that sure?

Oh, yeah.

Carried the ring around for months

and months, just waiting for the moment.

That night, the dinner, the dancing.

It just felt right.

Your man has been carrying

a ring just like it.

It's weird not to have

anyone to talk to about it.

I mean, he doesn't even

know I've seen it. And

What? Weren't you happy?

I don't know.

I mean, I, I should

have been, but I just

I didn't know what to think.

That's OK. Right?

Uh. Never mind.

When you know,

you just know.

[MUSIC: "THE PIANO MAN" BY BILLY JOEL.]

It's OK. Two, three and

It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday ♪

Three, two.

One, two, three.

There's an old man

sitting next to me ♪

Making love to his tonic and gin ♪

[MUSIC CONTINUES LOUDLY]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

I love you, Mary.

[MUFFLED CRYING]

I know.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[RUAIRI CRYING]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Why didn't you fill it up?

Oh, I didn't know people were

going to be trying to k*ll us.

Did I?

f*ck.

Well, at least we made it out alive.

Hey, friendo?

Well, thanks to you

saving me back there.

And you, me.

Unlikely brothers in arms.

Hey, you know, we could

come up with, like

- Yeah, let's not.

- OK.

Ah. Hell.

Hey.

Oh, Jesus!

Come on!

He's big.

You can't talk?

My mother sent you. Why?

You'll take me to her?

How am I supposed to trust you?

[SLAMS DOOR]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

[OPENS DOOR]

You can come up now.

You could have taken that Kn*fe.

Why didn't you?

Something about me and

broken men, I guess.

I meant what I said. You can go.

You know I have to report this?

There's no need.

I'll be turning myself in.

- As soon as.

- What the Dickens?

I'm going to bury Mary.

I should have done a while back, but

I don't know. It's just

hard letting go, I guess.

Living in the past does no one any good.

If I were you, I'd get back to your

man and get out of this place.

Forget

digging all of this up.

Just get back in your travels

and enjoy the ride while you can.

Might be tricky getting back to him,

him being taken and all.

Oh Jesus,

apologies. That's right.

I didn't tell you.

Oh, he came here looking for

you with some other fella.

Elliot?

Well, he's OK?

He's looking fine and dandy,

with a beard you just love

to run your fingers through.

What?

How did, how did he get away?

What happened?

You go call him.

He'll tell you himself.

I don't actually no,

he has your phone on him, though.

Hm.

I can give you a ride to

your hotel, if you fancy?

I think I'm good.

Just

Turn yourself in, yeah?

Scout's honour.

[DOOR SHUTS]

Ruairi?

Ruairi, I wish you'd taken a wife.

I did, Ma.

Remember?

I did.

I can wait in the car.

Yeah, I'll wait in the car.

I'll call the rental agency.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Hi.

I thought,

seeing me,

or this place, at least,

I thought it might

knock something loose.

I'm sorry.

And I keep hoping that

something's gonna come back.

Like, I'll, uh.

Like, I just wake up one day

and it'll be there, you know?

I wonder if you could still dance

if you heard the right music?

Huh?

Oh, you could turn a Piqué that

would move a grown man to tears.

- Piqué?

- Take a seat.

You're lucky your

friend has a weird car.

People noticed it.

If it wasn't for that, I

might not have got that call.

I might not have found you in time.

Listen, um,

I'm sorry to jump

straight in like this, but

I'm actually looking for someone,

and, um, someone told me that,

that you might be able

to help me find her.

Aye.

I can help.

I know,

for all it hurts,

you can't remember me.

Maybe it's just as well.

I wish I could forget.

Watching your brother die in my arms.

My brother?

Joe.

Two years older than you.

But,

the two of you looked so alike,

people always took you for twins.

No, sorry.

This isn't the first thing

I wanted to say to you.

How did he die?

sh*t in the stomach.

He was found

bleeding, half dead.

At Lough Taymor.

Lough Taymor.

You wouldn't say who it was, but I knew.

I knew in my bones.

It was Frank McDonnell's boy.

Anyway,

enough sad stories.

And sad memories.

I'm sure you got a lot of questions.

Let's start with this

person you're looking for.

Right. Her name is Helen Chambers.

Um, she's been missing since,

I don't know. Um,

actually, uh,

I found her phone out

in the middle of the

[PHONE RINGS]

Excuse me. Hello?

HELEN: Oh, my God, are you OK?

Helen? Jesus Christ, Helen,

where'd you go? Are you OK?

I'm all right.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm all right.

Where are you?

I'm back at the hotel.

Where are you?

It's a long story,

but I'll tell you when

I see you, all right?

Don't go anywhere.

I won't.

I love you.

Yeah, I love you too.

Um,

I can't believe I'm saying this, but

I have to go.

Of course you do.

I'd be right here waiting, Eugene.

OK.

Helen.

Elliot.

You OK?

You think this would be awkward for me?

And you would be correct.

- Ethan?

- For it is he.

Don't ask. Christ,

where do we even start?

Um, somewhere private would be good.

Well, hey, hey. I came

a long way to talk to you

and me and my man Elliot here

have been through a lot.

Which makes what I'm

about to say somewhat awks.

OK, look, before we get into

wherever you guys have been and

where I've been, I really

have to tell you something.

Like, like really,

really have to tell you.

OK.

[SIGHS] I'll be outside.

Car should be arriving any minute.

The customer service

really is second to none.

I'll be outside.

OK, look. While you were

gone, I found something.

There was this DNA report,

and it listed two

matches from this broken

whisky bottle that we found.

One of them was yours, and the

other belonged to this bloke,

Fergal McDonnell.

Fergal. Yeah, um,

I know him.

He's the kid who got me off the island.

What is this?

Well, the DNA it,

it was a first generation match Elliot.

This kid is your son.

And to the elephant,

in the room.

I'm the elephant in the room.

Did I hear something about a son?
