02x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Any of Dessie's sheep missing?

Dunno. I tried to count them,

but I kept falling asleep.

No... None were stolen.

So why would somebody just open
the gate and let them out?

A prank, maybe?

Papa Delta 2-2 from Uniform.

Uniform, Uniform send over.

ATM theft reported on Mill Road.

We're on our way. Over.

Cool.

Port Devine's never had
an ATM theft before.

It's not exactly
the quiet life you were hoping for.

After a year undercover,
an ATM theft suits me fine.

Anyway,

my move here was more about
the company.

That was some craic we had last
night. Yeah.

Did you stay up and finish the
bottle? Unfortunately.

Ooh. Do you not need sleep?

I do. I just can't seem
to get any, at the minute.

Maybe it's the new bed?

Or maybe it's because it's too big
and empty

and Siobhan's in the next room?

Yeah, ha, ha.

Right, Marlene, where are we at?

So the thieves used a digger
to steal a cash machine,

early hours of this morning.

It was seen heading up
the Mill Road.

Morning, team.

Here we go one for you,
one for you.

Cheers, mate.

And I guessed you'd take yours
strong and black.

Actually, I'm a cappuccino man
with extra sprinkles.

Only messing, black's dead on!

LAUGHTER

I caught a g*ng doing rural
ATM thefts a few years ago.

So this could be the same g*ng?

No... No, no, no,
they're still serving time.

And I thought the sheep were going
to be the highlight of my day.

The sheep?
Yeah.

Someone let Dessie Brankin's flock
out. We were on it before this.

That's the same tactics as
the other g*ng.

Distract the local cops,
then take the cashpoint.

It could be a copycat.
Right, Marlene,

do you want to go and look
for this digger?

Callum, have a ring around,
see if anyone's missing one. Yeah.

You not ready
for your appointment?

I am, two seconds.

Finn and Al were reminiscing till
the wee hours.

How are you and Finn ever

going to get back together if
Al is here playing gooseberry?

Concepta, please.

I'm anxious enough about this scan
as it is.

You grab your coat.
I'll sort this out.

We found the abandoned digger off
Rock Road.

No sign of the suspects. Over.

RADIO: Papa Delta 2-2,
that's all received.

Here we go.

What's that?

Some sort of stone.
It's flaky, like shale.

The tyre's full of them.

Might be able to tell us where this
has been.

I'll call CSI, get it examined.

Hiya, Ma.

How are you
and Siobhan ever going to make

a go of things if you're up till all
hours drinking

with your mate like
a pair of teenagers?

It was just one night,
Ma. I promise.

My priority is Siobhan's health.

I just wish they'd give her
the results today,

you know?

It's the waiting that's hard
on her.

And on you, too.

OK?

Almost everyone I've spoken

to this morning has asked me if it's
true that Marlene is g*y.

Look, it's a small place.
People are nosey.

Give it a week and they'll be
gossiping about something else.

I just hope nobody's rude to her.

If they are, they've got me
to answer to, all right?

Hey!

Any witnesses?

Constable McCarthy.

Some of the locals saw the digger,

but none of them got a look at
the driver.

Right.
Thanks.

The digger is a rental.
It was leased to a Tom McGrade.

Do you know him?

Tom and Rosie McGrade are farmers.

They lost their eldest son two years
ago in a motorbike accident.

They're neighbours
of Dessie Brankin,

his sheep were the ones that were
let loose this morning.

You know the McGrades, Marlene. Can
you come with me to speak to them? Yeah.

Callum, I need all the CCTV you can
get along

the road from Brankin's sheep to
the ATM,

and then out Mill Road, all right?

Yeah. Straight away.

We were home all night,
as usual. We didn't hear a thing.

If you're cold, we can go inside...

No. Er... Tom's not well.

Man flu.

And it's just you
and your husband here, Mrs McGrade?

Aye. Farming wasn't

for our youngest.
He's away to university.

When did you realise
the digger was gone?

Not till Constable McCarthy called.

Has there been anybody suspicious
hanging about recently?

Two young fellas came round
a few days ago.

Saying they wanted to borrow
the digger, but I said no.

What's the matter?

It's OK. You go back in.
I-I'm dealing with it.

We were just notifying your wife
that your digger had been found.

What do you mean found?

It was used in a theft
this morning.

What was stolen?

The cash machine on Mill Road.

Rosie tells us you were at home
all night?

Aye, that's right.

Well, if you can think
of anything that might help us

with our enquires,

just give us a call
and let us know.

We will. Thanks, officer.

It's not like Rosie not
to invite us in.

You know,

people have been treating me
differently since I came out.

I don't think it's anything
to do with you.

Did you see how nervy yer man
Tom was? AND no sign of man flu.

Yeah.

Callum, can you ring round
neighbouring farms

and see if anybody's been asking
to borrow

a digger these past few days?
Will do. Oh,

and there's no CCTV footage
of last night.

Someone hit every camera in
the area with these.

It's a paint ball.

Like on those as*ault courses?

Paint-balling CCTV cameras,
that's a new one on me.

They dropped that one.
Cub found it in a pothole.

And whoever did it is
a real marksman.

He hit every camera
with one shot. Bull's-eye.

We need to find those lads who
Rosie spoke to. Yeah.

I saw Barry earlier.

He's heartsore about
your falling-out.

I'm upset about it too, Concepta.

He's in a huff

because you talked to me about
the surrogacy and not him.

I said he should apologise,
but he's that pig-headed.

I have apologised

100 times already.
Enough is enough.

Callum,
I just heard that

the digger used in that
ATM theft belonged

to Tom McGrade. Is that right?

I'm afraid so.

I gave Tom a lift into town
last night.

I think Marlene should hear this.
Can you not handle it?

Sarge?
What is it?

Barry gave Tom McGrade
a lift into town last night.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

Ask him what time.
What time?

Tell her, around 22:00 hours.

Around 222:00 hours.

Well, where did he drop him off?

At the ATM on Mill Road.

At the ATM on...

Right, back to base, cub.

One's as stubborn as the other.

The pair of them need their heads
knocking together.

The bank have confirmed that

that machine was being
refilled tomorrow.

There was less than 20 grand in it.

This is sounding more
and more like the work of amateurs.

I had a financial check done on
the McGrades.

They owe a load of money to

the same bank whose ATM was stolen.
That's some coincidence.

You can't really believe that
a salt-of-the-earth couple like

the McGrades would be involved
in this?

Desperate people can do
crazy things.

And if they're daft enough
to steal a cash machine

the day before it gets refilled,

would they be daft enough
to bring it back to the farm?

Shall we, Marlene?

Yup.

I'm going to come with you.

Callum, stay here and man the
phones.

Yes, Inspector.

Really, it wasn't necessary
for you to come out here, Finn.

Six months ago, I would've known
what was going on

with all these farmers.
I feel like I've lost touch.

Tom. Please.

This way.

Tom.
Please, please don't go.

Did you send for them?

No. I didn't, I didn't, honestly.

Liar. You want me locked up!
No... No please.

Look, please, just come back
inside... Get you away from me.

Just relax, Tom, all right?

Tom McGrade.

I'm arresting you for breach of
the peace.

You don't have to say anything

but it may harm your defence if
you do not mention when questioned

something you later rely on
in court.

Anything you do say may be given
as evidence.

I'm sorry about the state of the
place, Marlene.

We've so much to do on the farm,
I've let things go.

What's going on, Rosie?

Well, you've seen my Tom
with drink on him before?

Not like that, I haven't.

Where was he last night?

I've told you already. He was here.

We know he got a lift into town last
night with Barry.

He's not been himself since our
Cormac died.

He doesn't talk to me.
Just sits there and drinks.

He's been drinking since you were
here earlier.

Rosie says that Tom's been hitting
the drink since Cormac died.

Losing a son like that.
I'm not sure how I'd react.

You tackled him pretty hard boss,
for a breach of the peace.

Finn used proportionate force given
the circumstances.

No, Marlene's right. It was, erm, it
was a bit heavy-handed.

Your man was out of control.
We all saw him.

Tom McGrade says you can confirm
that he was here last night?

Aye, he came in around ten o'clock.
Drank too much,

passed out over there.

I felt sorry for him,
so I let him sleep it off.

I drove him home around 2am.

Have you done something different
with your hair, Nicole?

Yes. I'm glad someone noticed.

Huh?

Yeah, it really suits you.

Thank you.

Was there anybody hanging about
the farm?

I didn't go up to the farm.

I dropped him at the bottom of the lane.
He didn't want me waking them all up.

Them all?
Aye, his, er

son and his girlfriend are staying
with them.

I heard you were involved in that
robbery last night.

Well, you heard wrong.
I just gave Tom McGrade a lift,

that's all.

There was always a bit of
a wild streak in the McGrades.

Now, I think they have enough

to contend with without you being
so...

Gossipy? Backstabbing? Judgmental?

Without you being so judgmental.

You know what,

I'm not going to stick around here
to be insulted.

Good day to yous, ladies.

I'm beginning to wonder who's having
the hormone treatment

for surrogacy round here, him or
Marlene.

Oh, she hasn't started taking
the hormones yet.

She keeps putting it off.

Because of this fall out with him?

Yeah, I really hope they sort their
differences soon.

It's messing up my plans.

Now that you've calmed down,
we are releasing you.

But try and keep that temper
under control, yeah?

Your wife's here for you.

You OK, love?

'Course I am. Come on,
let's go home.

You didn't mention that your son

and his girlfriend were staying
with you last night.

Who said that?

Tom told Clint Dunwoody.

So you WERE at the pub?

I just wanted to go out for

an hour without
the Spanish Inquisition.

Your son and his girlfriend didn't
fancy a pint?

They've been down
a few times recently,

but not last night.
Tom was confused.

OK. Thanks for clearing that up.

If we've any more questions,
I'll be in touch.

Hey. What's the latest?

I've been reviewing

the footage of these cameras before
they were disabled.

This is from yesterday afternoon.

Now, see this biker?

He hangs about the cash machine
but doesn't use it.

Does he take his helmet off?

No, but I got the bike's reg.

It belongs to the McGrades'
son, Jake.

Now, Tom says Jake

and his girlfriend were staying at
the farm last night,

but Rosie says they weren't.
Callum,

I need you to get everything you can
find on Jake McGrade.

Jake? I just saw him go into
a coffee shop up the street.

Well, let's go, then.

I've just realised,

Jake matches the description of
the man Dessie saw by his field.

Really? Yeah.

We'd better see where he's
going, then. Yeah.

SIREN WAILS

Jake McGrade?

Yeah? Sorry,

I didn't realise it was us you
were following.

Jake McGrade,
you're under arrest for the theft of

the ATM on Mill Road. You do not
have to say any... Dad? Taylor?

What are you doing here?

Why didn't you let me know you were
in Port Devine?

I could ask you the same.

Are you working here now?

Yes. I transferred last week.

I've been leaving you
a load of messages

but you haven't been calling
me back.

Like you've been doing with me
for the past year?

I was undercover, you know that.

So, how come the big city detective
is slumming it

with these cultchie cops?

I believe the politically correct
term is County Mounties, actually.

I'm not going back to uni.

What? Why?

I've been kicked out.

HE CHUCKLES

You, you're not joking?
What happened?

We were having a peaceful demo when

a load of yobs turned up.
A window got smashed.

Nothing to do with us,
but we got the blame.

But you're going to appeal,
right? Once you pay a fine,

make an apology, everything...

Apologise?!
No way.

Can you tell us where you were last
night, Jake?

Sure, no problem.

Er, I was in Belfast
with my girlfriend. Taylor.

Your dad said the two

of you were staying at his house
last night.

Er no, we went back to Belfast

to go to a club.
Dad must be confused.

Did you use the ATM on Mill Road?

No.

You were caught on
the CCTV standing in front of it.

Oh, er, yeah, I wanted to use it,
but I forgot my card.

Jake, you should know that

a search is being carried out at
your parents' house.

If any incriminating evidence
is found,

they will be arrested
for assisting an offender.

Where were you last night?

I was with Jake.

We went to a club
and then back to his halls.

He's very alpha, isn't he?

Were you with Jake when he parked at
the ATM on Mill Road yesterday?

No, he dropped me off in town.

Hang on.

You think we robbed that ATM?

We just need to know where you both
were yesterday.

If I'm arrested,

I hope you're the one who slaps
the cuffs on me.

Come on now, Taylor.

You're a cop's daughter,
you should know better.

We're done here.

Do you want to meet up
for dinner later?

I'll have to check my diary.

I might be busy robbing
another bank.

Hi, Finn. Taylor.

Away on.

She's hard work but she has me
wrapped around her wee finger.

I hear you.

So listen,
could Jake have done this or not?

His brother, I would've believed,

but no, not this lad.
He's too soft.

Depends how desperate he was.

If this is a copycat, like
Al said, how would Jake know

the details of the previous
ATM thefts?

But we have CCTV footage
of him checking the cash machine.

But Jake says he forgot his card

and there's no physical evidence
to place him at

the scene.
We're going to have to let him go.

SHE SCOFFS

Forensics found no
DNA or fingerprints on the digger,

but the stones in
the tyres are schist.

We really need to get
a swear jar in here.

Schist is a type of stone.

Do you remember that land up on
Hill Road,

the McGrades sold it
to that property developer?

The flats everyone objected to?

Exactly, and no sooner had they
started work,

but they were shut down.

I'm pretty sure those foundations
were refilled with Schist.

That's about half

a mile from where you found
the digger.

Right, Callum, let's go.

That's Jake McGrade's bike.

Police.

Stop what you're doing.

Drop the hammer
and turn around slowly.

I did it. I stole the cash machine.

Not by yourself.

I met some men in a pub.
I paid them to help me.

And who are these men, Rosie?

I don't know.
I never asked their names.

Was your son involved?

No, no, he wasn't here.

He, he was in Belfast at
his girlfriend's.

Why did you do it?

Because we need the money.

Someone fly-tipped

a load of hazardous waste all over
our land.

The council said we had

to get rid of it or we'd be fined
a fortune.

So, Tom re-mortgaged the farm
to clear it.

Now the bank's threatening
to foreclose.

But that doesn't explain why

a normal person like you would steal
a cash machine.

Everybody owes money.

I lost my eldest son.
I'm losing my home.

I won't lose my husband as well.

To the drink, you mean?
Three weeks ago,

I went out to the barn
and Tom was standing there,

with a rope in his hand.

The look on his face, it scared me
to death.

I'm sorry.
You go through

the hell that we've been through,
then you can tell me what

a normal person would do.

We need to do something about Tom.

I'll have a word with Siobhan.

See if she'll make a house call.

Do we really believe that
Rosie planned all this herself?

I still think Jake was in on it.

Unless we can prove that,

she'll take the fall for
the whole lot.

Maybe, when she's charged,
he'll come clean.

And if he doesn't?
Well, she's already confessed,

I mean we caught her breaking into
the machine.

Yeah, but hasn't
the family suffered enough?

Surely there must be something
we can do?

Our job is to uphold
the law when somebody breaks it.

After that,

anything else that happens, it's up
to the courts, not us.

Callum,

call Jake and tell him
to come down.

Finn? Hey. What's with all
the hardnose stuff?

What?

They called you Mother Teresa at

our old station cos you always
saw the good in people.

Well, maybe I'm not a sucker for
a sob story any more.

I want to see my mum. Where is she?

She's being held in custody until
she's brought before

the magistrate in the morning.

What for?

Your mother's being charged
with theft.

She was found breaking into
the stolen cash machine.

She confessed to being solely
responsible for

the ATM theft.
Unless you know any different?

Please, let me see her.

You've got five minutes.
Marlene, take him through, please?

Can I go with him?

No, just Jake.

I'm sorry, you're both going to have
to take a seat.

You have five minutes, OK?

I'm going to jail, son.

No point in those other lads
going too.

They've got responsibilities
and futures.

If you don't say who helped you,
you will get a longer sentence.

That doesn't matter to me.
It was my decision,

nobody else's, and I'll face
the consequences alone.

I don't know when I'll be able
to hug my son again!

I love the very bones of you, Jake.

I'm so proud
to be your mother.

I'll be OK, sweetheart.

You look after your dad for me.
Do you hear?

I will.

I'd just like to say that all
of you handled

a very difficult case today,
with a lot of sensitivity.

And none of us are happy about
the outcome.

What about Tom?

Siobhan's already been in to see him

and now the mental health crisis
unit will make

an assessment.

I'll call round
and talk to him about Rosie.

See yous later you in
The Commodore. Yeah. Good luck.

Look, I'll finish off
the paperwork on Rosie.

You two get yourselves down to
the pub.

Can't. I've some doorbell cam
footage that needs checking.

Give it here. I'll look at it.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

You two get a round in
and I'll follow you down.

Ah. All right? All right. Nice.
After you, Sarge.

Your Taylor's a good girl.

I know.

And you shouldn't have dragged her
into your mess.

Once she's got something into
her head,

have you ever been able
to stop her?

I didn't think so.

She's like my Tom
and Cormac, stubborn as mules,

but full of fireworks.
You can't help but love them.

I know what you mean.

Jake is different.

Soft-hearted but fierce protective
of the ones he loves.

Sounds a lot like you.

Maybe he is.

I'd do anything
to protect my child. Wouldn't you?

What's this?

It was my idea.

The other ATM thefts you
talked about.

It all sounded so easy.

I said it would be karmic justice if
they repaid

the mortgage with
the money they robbed from

the bank's machine.
It sort of snowballed from there.

It wasn't meant
to turn out like this.

Banks are insured for theft.
They won't lose anything,

but you lose the best decade
of your life.

If it helps Rosie,
then I'm OK about going to jail.

Giving yourself up won't save her,
all right?

But this can save you.

I'm sorry I haven't been there
for you

the past year, when you needed me.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Come here.

HE SIGHS

Thank goodness,

no-one knows that you're
a paintball champion, eh?

I've dealt with bank robbers.

I can't believe that a decent,

hard-worker like Rosie would do that
kind of thing.

Finn suggested that we write

character references,
for the court case.

With my reputation?

I don't know how helpful
a reference would be from me?

Yeah, you're right.
I'll just do one from me, then.

Grab us a pint and bring it up here,
will you, cub?

You can't avoid
each other forever...

Watch me.

All right, Clint.
All right, Callum.

All right, Barry?

Listen,
if you're coming down here

to lecture me about your woman,
you can just jog on.

Who? Marlene? Anyway,

she won't be around
to annoy us much longer.

Not once she's completed her
Form Five.

What's that?

She's applying for a transfer? Where
to? Belfast?

Oh, no!
I wasn't supposed to say anything.

Please don't tell her I blabbed.

Hey, is Marlene really leaving?

No. But if Barry cares about her,
maybe he'll ask her to stay.

You're not as daft as you look.

Oi, pints.

Two?

So, you were just going to leave,
without telling me about that too?

What? I've only just arrived.

I'm talking about your transfer to
Belfast. The cub let it slip. Wha..?

I think there's been
a wee misunderstanding.

You mean,
you're not leaving Port Devine?

No! Never.

I erm, I thought it was another

thing that you were keeping
from me.

I keep things from you
because you always overreact...

..and... I'm terrified of losing you.

You will never lose me.

I was just upset

because you felt that you couldn't
confide in me.

What, so,

you're not against me having this
baby for Nicole and Clint?

Listen,

I don't care whether you're

a surrogate,
a l*sbian or limbo dancer,

as long as you're happy.

Are you sure?

Because I won't do this without
the support of my da.

I'm sure.

Come here.

So does this mean you can start
taking your hormone injections?

Yeah, it does.
Great. OK,

first one is tomorrow morning at
8am sharp.

And, this is your last pint until
the baby's born so, enjoy.

CLINT LAUGHS

I don't know what you're
laughing at.

Until we wet the baby's head,
there'll be none for you, either.

MARLENE LAUGHS

Hey, what do you mean,
what's that all about.

Here, Marlene, listen...

..are you sure that you
want to give up the chance to have

a baby of your own?
I mean, lesbians,

they can be parents too, you know.

Yeah, I know but...
I'm happy to do this for them.

Besides,

while everyone's talking about me
being a surrogate,

they won't be gossiping about me
being g*y.

Oh, no? I think you'll find everyone
will be talking about both.

So, what did your dad want?

I was caught on a doorbell cam.

Well, that's great, when they see
mum didn't act alone,

they'll have to reduce
her sentence.

Dad deleted the file.

He did what?

He said it would've landed all three
of us in jail.

You did it to save your own skin.

That's not true.

You had a chance to take the blame
back at the station and you...

Because I promised Mum
I'd look after my dad!

So, I saved my own skin,
but you're a martyr?

Why did you have to put this stupid
idea in her head?

I didn't force her to do anything.

I wish I'd never met you.

Rosie's going to jail when I'm
the one that should be locked up.

Tom...

What has you drinking so
much?

Since our eldest died,

it's the only way I can get
to sleep.

I'm angry all the time.
Even with Rosie. I just lash out.

Then I see the hurt in her eyes
and that makes things worse.

To do what she did,
she must love you a lot.

TOM SNIFFLES

She needs your support now, Tom,
more than ever.

And this stuff,
this - it's only making it worse.

Will you please at least keep that
appointment Siobhan made?

I spoke to some of your neighbours,

they're going to write
character references

and they're going to ask the judge

to consider reducing
Rosie's sentence.

They'd do that for us?

If they'd known about
your difficulties,

they would've reached out sooner.

We all would.

I've been a millstone around
Rosie's neck.

If I loved her half as much as she
loves me,

I'd have done the decent thing
and left her years ago.

I've hurt the ones I love, too.

We need to take responsibility.
They deserve better.

Oh, here.

Better take that with you.

Son, come and sit down.

I'll move over and let you sit
beside your wife.

TOM CLEARS THROAT

Siobhan, could I have a wee word?

I... I'm sorry, erm...

..Concepta's been putting you under
all this pressure.

You know, you've enough
to contend with without, you know,

her trying to force us
back together...

Look, I, but I...

Listen, your health,
that's the priority now.

So I'm going to make it really
clear,

that we live in the same house,

but our marriage is over... for good.

HE SIGHS

I'll talk to him.

What do you want?

This is the final demand from
the bank. They're taking the farm.

I'm sorry for you and your parents.

Mm-hm.

I heard you destroyed

the evidence you found against
Taylor.

I still have the paintball g*n
covered in her DNA. And...

..these texts from Taylor saying
she's a crack shot

and can take out
the CCTV cameras, no problem.

If you use that, you'll
incriminate yourself.

I've got nothing left to lose,
except my home.

Pay off this bank loan or

Taylor ends up sharing a cell
with my mum.
