02x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

Today's a new start for us.

It's Siobhan I'm worried about.
Finn's meeting her in a bit.

I'm seeing someone.
What?

Leila.

Leila's flying to Nottingham.

She's leaving.
Why?

Because...she found
out your wife has cancer.

PHONE RINGS

TYRES SCREECH

Finn!

Ah!
Whoa, why did you stop here?

Why did you stop here?
They can see us!

Listen, another peep out of you
and I'll be down there

throwing shapes like
it's Summer Solstice 1995.

Go! Right, I'm going.

Thanks, Mum.

Have a great night guys.

LOUD DANCE MUSIC

Hey, you!

What are you doing?

Let him go.

What's going on here?

Let him go!

Dad?

You're under arrest
for selling Class A drugs.

You don't have to say anything

but it may harm
your defence if you don't mention

when questioned something you later
rely on in court.

Anything you do say may
be given in evidence. Come on.

Must've been some party!

I'm a wee bit jealous
I didn't get an invite.

Eugh, I just stood in sick.

In my new sandals!

Black's for rubbish,
green's for recycling.

Gloves are over there. Get going.

CAR ENGINE REVS

CAR HORN SOUNDS

So this is
where it's all happening?

Little bird told my
missus youse were having

a community litter pick.

Our invite must've got lost.

Help yourself
to some rubber gloves.

There's an invitation
a man can't refuse.

Chanel, what are you waiting for?

Rone, my nails.

And I've got a lip and chin wax
in half-an-hour.

Move then.

We're part of this community now
and we all need to do our bit.

That's the spirit.

Oh!

Make yourself useful.

Coffees.

Why would any woman
want to hitch her wagon

to a thug like Ronan Kelly?

Hmm, I can think of a few reasons.

Fancy clothes
and designer handbags

don't seem so attractive when
you know where the money comes from.

Hi!

Al Quinn. Yup.

Man, it's been too long.

I can't believe it, mate.

Kept wondering when
I was gonna hear from you.

Sure, I haven't
been at work in a while.

I didn't even know
there was a covert operation.

Not until the intelligence system
flagged it up.

I assume you
big boys haven't been brought in

because some drugs were being
sold from Chanel Kelly's salon?

It's her old man we're after.

I've been on Ronan Kelly for a year.

Undercover?
Yup, I'm one of his crew.

Me and him are like that.

I can't believe that Ronan Kelly has
moved to Port Devine. Lucky us, eh?

Not for long, if tonight goes
according to plan.

Kelly's got a shipment coming in.

As soon as we
catch him with the cocaine,

it's game over for
his dirty little empire.

Well, I hope I haven't
mucked anything up,

arresting that dealer
on the beach last night?

As long as Kelly's none the wiser
before 1900 hours tonight, then no.

Got it. You know me,
I can keep a secret.

So what's the craic?
Not like you to put in a sick note?

You didn't hear
about the car crash?

Siobhan!

Big day today.

Siobhan's last radiotherapy.
Breast cancer.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Here, do you fancy a wee cappuccino
or hot chocolate? Oh, thanks.

Hey, I'll take one
if they're going begging.

You wait until you're asked!

Sorry. Manners of a baboon.

And you promise
you'll come into the salon,

for a nice relaxing facial on me.

I do the filler too.

And the Botox,
If you fancy a glow up?

Still no sign of Finn.

Eh, he texted to wish me luck
with my last treatment.

And you didn't ask where he was?

Why, would I?
It's none of my business.

Stop fussing, Gran, Dad's fine.

Wait, so the girl,
who caused the crash

that nearly did you in,
her sister's who?

My Sarge, Marlene.

Wow. Yeah, we're old mates.

How about you?

Well, Taylor's away at Uni,

which left me with an empty nest,
bored out of my mind.

I'd always wanted
to work undercover,

but I wouldn't because of her.

And now you're free to chase psychos
like Ronan Kelly 24/7?

Passes the time. Fills the quiet.

Yeah, I know all about that.

Just spent six months convalescing
at me Ma's.

Oh. Your Ma's?

What, you mean your lovely wife
wouldn't tend to your every need?

Siobhan and I are finished, mate.

What happened?

Don't you have somewhere to be?

Oh, later, then, all right?

Now, detectives from
Organised Crime are gonna pick up

the dealer who you nicked,

but not a word to your team though,
all right?

We need to keep
every bit of this locked-down

until we've got
Ronan Kelly. All right? Yeah.

Then, after that,
me and you are gonna sink a few.

Like old times.

Erm...

What's going on?

Um...

You're not even back at work
and you arrested a drug dealer.

Yeah, so what, you just happened
to be on the beach

and you saw that Lex guy?

I was just out jogging.
It's part of me rehab.

Yeah, but why bring in Organised
Crime? He's just a nobody, right?

He said he bought the drugs from
somebody at Chanel Kelly's salon,

but he wouldn't say who.

But why aren't we bringing
the Kellys in?

Because it's a lie.

Ronan Kelly is never gonna
sell drugs from his wife's salon.

He's too smart.

I should have kept
more of an eye on the Kellys.

Listen, Marlene,

I know you've been understaffed for
the last six months.

I just thought giving that lad to

the Belfast boys
was doing you a favour.

I tell you what,

felt good scooping him!

Beats staring at the
walls of your childhood bedroom.

So, does that mean you might come
back a bit earlier than expected?

I'll make a few phone calls.

Would they throw their cans on
the floor at home?

No, they would not. So why here?

Barry?

what's this?

I'd guess that's cocaine.

Or amphetamine of some kind.

Drugs in Port Devine?

That wouldn't have
happened on my Finn's watch.

I'll have you know my
Marlene held that station up

while your
Finn was off his feet.

Where your stepdaughter, Lil,
left him after the car crash?

Minus his spleen, I should add.

Dad's recovered fine, Gran.

Oh, no, you should've seen him
take down this dealer at the party.

Well, what do you know?

My boy to the rescue again.

You just can't get
the staff these days, can you?

HE SIGHS

Shay spilled the beans

that my Finn arrested a drug dealer
at the solstice party.

And he wasn't even on duty.

Filthy toerag
selling that muck to kids.

Is this down to Ronan Kelly, then?

No comment.

We don't have drugs in Port Devine.

Never have and never will.

My Finn saw to that.

Sorry, are you implying
that this is down to me?

That I've let things slide?

No! No, you've done your best...

Yeah, on half the staff.

Marlene's been a great Acting
Inspector while Finn's been off.

Cheers, Cal.

At least someone appreciates me.

Right, how do you fancy mounting
an observation post on the salon?

A stakeout? Yup.
Absolutely!

He doesn't look like he stops long
in the beautician's chair.

Do men go in for all that, aye?

Yeah. I do enjoy
the odd pedicure myself.

I'd keep that quiet, Cal.

Didn't Ronan Kelly get banged-up
few years back in Belfast?

Yeah, he did 18 months for GBH.

Never been caught
for drug trafficking though.

His driver took the blame,
wouldn't testify.

Nor, would I.

He's not called Machete Kelly
for nothing.

I have to be honest, Sarge.

This observation post isn't quite as
glam as I'd hoped.

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, oh, oh, here she is.

Lady Muck.

We need an ID on him.

Fair do's to Ronan though,
fit missus.

I mean, I would.

In your dreams, sunshine.

Speaking of which, have you
heard anything from Leila recently?

No, not a lot.

Not since she found
out Finn was gonna be OK.

So the thing between them,
that's well and truly over?

Give it up cub.
She's not coming back.

Clint?

Could be picking up Nicole?

Ach, Nicole would never go in there.
My friends have class.

What is Clint up to?

Er, didn't I see you before?

Hanging around a women's
beauty salon?

Oh, yeah.

I went for a sunbed.
I was looking a bit pasty.

You still are.

He still is what?

A pure eejit.

Hanging out at
Chanel Kelly's salon.

Ah, I sent him to get my
nail polish.

OK, but you
know who Chanel Kelly is?

And what her old man does, right?

Machete Kelly, the finger thief.

Don't talk about that.
Makes me feel faint.

Is Clint grafting for Ronan Kelly?

My husband has never touched drugs.

Nicole, look,
people get into situations.

He may not have a choice.

Kelly does this -
threats, intimidation.

No, it's not like that.

Whatever Clint is
doing this for, Nicole,

the reason isn't good enough.

It's because I want to be a mummy.

I go there to pick up my daughter.

Your what?

Her name's Kiera and she's six.

I only found out myself
on the day of Finn's accident.

You had a fling with his missus?

It was more of a one-night stand.

Kelly was inside
and he got out a short time later.

He thinks Kiera's his.

But she's not.

When Clint told me about Kiera
I made him get in touch.

He has rights.

Chanel wasn't keen. She's scared.

We all are.

But I worked on her.

Kiera comes here in private
and she may not call me Mummy,

but I get to feel like one.

I can't believe I'm hearing this.

The pair of you
could get yourselves k*lled.

Well, what am I supposed do?

Give up my last chance of having
a child?

I know getting pregnant's
been taking it's time, love, but...

No.

I got my test results back and...

..turns out I have
an inhospitable womb,

so chances are I'll never have
a child of my own.

I'm so sorry, Nic.

I know how much you want
a wee family.

I'd give anything.

I know.

But I'm scared
you're gonna get hurt.

In every sense of the word.

That salon's not safe.

Because someone's dealing?

Chanel wouldn't do that.
Not with Kiera in there.

Kiera lives with Ronan Kelly.

Well, if Kelly gets done
and goes down for longer,

well, that'd be a good thing,
wouldn't it?

If you know anything...

Kiera should be here now,
but Chanel warned me off.

One of Ronan's men is hanging about.

This one?

Aye. That's him.

Ma?

You're going back to work?

Why are you not at the hospital?
Is Siobhan OK?

Niamh's gone with her.
Oh.

And for the record,
I think you're jumping the g*n.

It's been six months, Ma,
and I'm on restricted duties.

You're not sleeping.

You thought I didn't know?

All the late night runs
on the beach?

And the nightmares?

I can hear you Finn.

And it's gonna stop.

Because I realised this morning,
the only thing that's gonna fix me

is getting right back out there.

Kiera doesn't know Clint's her
daddy. He swore it was our secret.

He had to let me know.

I thought he was dealing
out of your salon.

And no-one's gonna tell Ronan?

Because why would you keep my
secret? You don't know me.

Well, Nicole and Clint are
old friends,

there's a wee kid involved

and, besides,
it's nothing to do with us.

Yeah, all we want is a name.

He's a client.
That info's confidential.

What info's this?
Babe, this is Marlene.

She was one of the people

cleaning up on the beach this
morning, remember?

Is that a tap that works exactly
like a kettle?

That's right, yes.

That is the best thing
I've ever seen in my life.

No more waiting
or spitting feathers, Sarge?

Can we get one for the tearoom?

To what do we
owe this pleasant visit?

We've had reports of someone dealing
drugs from Chanel's salon.

To kids, of all people.

We need to get back to work, boss.

Have you ever heard the likes, Rone?

Can we sue?
Because I'm a professional.

Spent months getting those
certificates on the internet.

Who's been saying this about
the salon?

I can't divulge
any information right now,

but I assure you,
I will get to the bottom of this.

No stone unturned.

We don't tolerate drugs
in Port Devine.

Tonight's too risky.

We can't mess
these guys around tonight.

That's far riskier.

You got a problem there?

No, Rone. Just mind my wee bush.
Kiera gave me that, remember?

My daughter is
never out of that salon

and now some eejit reckons they can
deal drugs there?

Is it Luke?

I don't know, babe.
Seriously. I'm as angry as you.

Whoever it is,
they're finished now.

Oh, they will be.

Finn?

We've got a problem.

Hey. Bout ye, Finn?
How's the first day back?

Have you seen Marlene or Callum?

Son, take a breather.

It's vital that I find Marlene.
She was up at the Kelly house?

Oh, for the drugs investigation.

What?

He's supposed to
be on restrictive duties.

Target in sight.

Got out of the black van,
he's going on inside.

Sarge? He's back.
Suspect returning to the van.

Where's Marlene?
In the back of that van, boss.

Marlene?

ON RADIO: Marlene?
Marlene come in. Marlene...

This is what we
need to finish the outfit.

Perfect. My little princess.

Oh, look how cute she is,
Uncle Clint.

She's her own wee Cinderella!

SHE CHOKES

Kiera? Babes? Are you OK?

She's choking.

Oh! The ring? It's gone.
Kiera? Sweetheart?

Did you eat Auntie Nicole's
engagement ring?

No...No, no, no.

I'm gonna die!

Kiera!

All right, shall we give this little
doll a pedicure? Come on.

Well, looks like you're gonna have

to let nature take its course
I'm afraid.

I think I forgot to breathe
for five minutes there.

Yeah, ditto.
When you told me about Kiera.

I wanted to tell you,
Shiv, but I couldn't for safety.

Kelly would k*ll Chanel and
then come for Clint.

Clint, we need to get back before
anyone's missed.

So, Lukey,

it seems like you and I need to have
a wee chat about a few things.

Oh, excuse me. Am I interrupting
something more urgent?

No, no, no, it's, erm,

it's the ex.
Always on about money, you know?

Aren't all women?

Like I was saying,
I've had the police here, Luke.

They arrested some kid that said he
bought cocaine from the salon?

This eejit keeps
showing up in a van.

Thinks he's a cowboy.

It's not me, Rone.
I'm not stupid, I know what you do.

Erm, Clint Dunwoody.

That's the guy.
You know the family?

The Dunwoodys?

I was inside with one of them.

A g*ng of thieves that couldn't
knock the skin off a rice pudding.

Why's he hanging around my wife?

That low-rent
Country and Western singer?

Probably just
heading for a spray tan.

Do you still want me to meet this
lorry then, Rone? Time's ticking.

I don't know now, do I?

What because of those two
clowns from the wee station here?

Look, they couldn't catch a cold
between them.

Come on.

Have you already scanned
this for trackers and probes?

I did all that myself.

Can't be too careful who you trust.

Hey, Luke, you go on ahead of us.
We'll see you there,

after we've been
to see Chanel in the salon.

We've only got
45 minutes until the meet.

Best make it snappy, then.

Hurry up.

SIREN

There a problem?

Your right indicator's out.

I don't think so.
Check it for me, there.

How's that?

Yeah, everything seems in order back
here, boss.

Thank you very much.
No worries.

HE EXHALES

OK, he's gone. You're safe.

Chanel might not be.
Ronan's gone to the salon

and your man Luke's just told him
that Clint's the dealer

ripping him off.

Let's go!

I'm here every day, Rone.
I'd have seen something.

Why's Clint Dunwoody hanging around?
You forget to mention that.

Name doesn't ring a bell.

Luke's lying then?
Well, I'm not.

I've never heard of Clint Dunny.

Well, speak of the devil.

What's he doing with my daughter?

Is it him?

Is he the one that's been selling
gear from the salon?

My Clint would never touch drugs.
Unlike some people.

I'm gonna count to five, Chanel.

What is he doing with my Kiera?

One, two, three, four.

Get her out of here.

You stay right where you are.

Leave it mate. We've got
more important places to be.

Come on Kiera let's go.

You don't tell her what to do,
I'm her father!

No, you're not.

Get out of here. Ronan...

Go, go, go, go...
Please.

You swore to me.

I asked you and you swore it.

Rone...

Argh!

She's his?!

Come on, get up. Get up!

Ronan Kelly, you're under arrest for
the importation of Class A drugs.

Are you OK? You do
not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention

something you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given
in evidence.

All right?

Chanel, I am so sorry.

It just came out.
It must have been the shock.

Six years we kept that secret.
You lasted six months.

Chanel Kelly,
I am arresting you on suspicion

of the supply of Class A drugs.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

You don't have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention

something you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Is Ronan going
to come after my Clint?

Because we're gonna need
bodyguards.

I can't promise anything.

What about Chanel?

Well, she'll be
in custody for a while.

Does that mean we
can keep hold of Kiera?

I don't...

So, here's the good news.

Organised Crime
intercepted the lorry,

found 15 kilos of cocaine.

Now that is what you call a result!

Yes!

Good work.

All right, cub.
Calm yourself down.

What's the bad news?

We're gonna struggle to tie
it to Ronan Kelly.

Oh, you are kidding me?

Ronan's a pro,
changes his phone every few days,

sweeps the car and the house
for probes,

never talks drugs indoors.

If he'd have been there,
this would've been a lot easier.

Did Ronan's mate Luke do
any talking?

Only to ask how Chanel was, like,
three times?

Right. Let's see if
Mr Kelly can do any better.

Ronan, we have officers searching
your vehicles as we speak.

Is there anything you'd like
to tell us?

I apologise for any injuries
Al sustained in our scuffle.

I let my emotions
get the better of me.

I'd had bad news.

I'm only human.

But these wild accusations
are unfounded

and, I'd argue to say, are
verging on slander.

We found drugs hidden in the salon.

Weighed, bagged, ready to sell.

If drugs are being sold from
that business,

you best chat to my wife.

You won't find anything on me.

It's Chanel's salon,
it's in her name.

Ronan's made sure of that.

And he's denying any
knowledge of the cocaine, obviously.

So he'll walk.

You must have other evidence?
All the time you were on him, right?

I wish I did.

I couldn't risk wearing a wire.

The man's so jumpy,
he's checking people all the time.

That's why we needed
to catch him red-handed.

Can we get him from the inside?

That's what Al was doing.
No, no.

I mean find someone who's already
on the inside, doesn't want to be.

See if they'll turn.

Like who?

What if I had information on Ronan?

Could you promise we'd be safe?

Well, we could talk to
the Public Prosecution Service,

if what you say
is proven to be true.

How long would that take?

He couldn't get to
us in the meantime?

We'd ensure your safety.

Chanel, you have a way out.

If you want it.

I can give you the names
of his main men in Turkey.

In Belfast, on the border,

in Marbella

and there's a guy on the roadside
Bureau de Change

helps shift the cash.

What? You thought
beauticians were dumbos?

People tell us all sorts.

Half the time they forget you're
even there.

I learnt to memorise
names and numbers pretty quick

because I knew one day I'd have
to get out of there.

I hate the drugs.

So why sell them on your premises?

Ronan's always had an inkling
about Kiera.

I needed an escape plan,

so, I persuaded Luke to help me
raise some cash.

I knew when it came out,
Kiera and I

would need to get as far away
as possible.

I know where the bodies are buried.

You need me.

All I'm asking is
a one way ticket out of here.

Well, I can speak
to the unit that deals

with assisting offenders.

They'll make an assessment
and see what they can do for you.

Yeah, not just contacts.

Ronan's assets, crypto codes,
properties. Um-hm.

Chanel...

I know you're scared.

But I also know that you
want what's best for Kiera.

I'm ready to talk.

Then I want to see my daughter.

Witness protection?

But for how long?

It's not something that you come
back from.

Kiera's going away forever?

Is that what you're telling me?

We can't even go and see her?

I'm really sorry, mate.

We've done nothing wrong.

Just when I'm getting to know her

and now she's gonna think
I don't care?

No. She won't think that.

She will know that you have made
the biggest sacrifice

to keep her safe.

And that's love.

SHE CRIES

Ronan Kelly,
we are gonna charge you

with conspiracy
to import Class A drugs.

Argh!

Chanel! Chanel!

OK, OK, sunshine, rein it in.

Liar! Save the drama
for the courtroom, all right?

Calm down. Calm down.

CHATTER

Oh! Look who it is.

Strut in like Starsky and Hutch!

Long-time no see.

Wow! You look better than ever.
How, was it?

Ach, same old.

Sounds like you two had
a much more exciting day.

GLASS CLINKS

Come on, Mum, we're all waiting.

Yes. Do what you came to do.

BELLS RINGS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I feel like a total eejit.

Everyone talks like it's the end,
but you know better than that.

Oh, I may have finished
the treatment but, it's gonna take

a few weeks before I
know if it's actually worked.

I know this place well.

Used to bring my daughter, Taylor,
here and stay with the O'Hares.

Oh, so you're really good
mates, then?

Yeah, Finn puppy-walked me
in Belfast.

What, you mean you haven't heard
the wild stories?

Al here was my dad's best man.

And we won't be able to come
and see you,

but we'll be here, thinking of you.

For ever and ever.

That wee accident I was telling
you about.

She can keep the ring.

Something to remember you by.

I wish you weren't going.

You're doing the right thing.
We know that.

Good luck.

Come on.

Bye-bye, Daddy. Bye-bye, Nicole.

See you.

So who's this Leila girl that
everybody keeps talking about?

Fit.

Little bird told me she's
the one you were driving after

when you had the crash?

Which little bird's that, now ?
This Dodo?

Excuse me.

They're wrong.

I was driving to
see Siobhan in the hospital.

So why aren't you back together?

It's complicated, mate.

All you need to know about
Leila is her job is up for grabs,

so you should go for it.

We could do with another experienced
detective round here.

I might do that. Yeah.

Means I'd get to see more
of this wee beauty. Yeoo!

Get off me!

I know where you've been.

So, you still sore
because Siobhan cheated, hmm?

Is that why you
went for the new girl?

No.

I really did fall for Leila, mate.

Is the fire still burning?

Is that why you're not with Siobhan?

Leila was right to leave.

When I heard that Siobhan was sick,
I went to her.

Well, I tried to.

What's stopping you now?

The Finn I knew
wouldn't let the grass grow.

Maybe he's changed, mate.

Near death and all of that.

You're here tonight. For her.

What does that tell you?

I'm so sorry.

When I married Clint I thought
I'd found my happy ever after.

But I had to have a dodgy womb.

I mean,
you could consider adoption?

I wish.

Clint has a record, so...

It's only silly stuff,

but it's enough to rule us out
completely, they said.

So Kiera was my last hope.

I'll never be anyone's Mummy.

I dunno, though.

I mean, you could still
be a mum if someone else had

the baby for you, you know?

What, like a surrogate?
Yeah.

You're amazing!

You know that?
Absolutely incredible!

Sure, what are best friends for, eh?

It's a great idea.

I'm doing it.
Right.

You're doing it!

Wha-what?!

Oh, just wait until I tell Clint

that you're
going to have our baby!

Clint! No...

Clint!
