02x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

So Concepta's gone sea-fishing?

She's taken Finn's
place on the boat.

Said she could handle
a rod as well as any man.

Well, I don't doubt
that for a second.

When's Finn due to come home?
I'm not sure.

Can't be that long now.

He said the treatment programme
takes about 30 days,

and he's been away nearly a month.

What's with the doll, Doll?

I ordered it off the internet.

It's a baby simulator.

It's as close to the real
thing as humanly possible.

If we're going to be parents,
we need to know what we're doing.

DOLL CRIES
Shush, my wee love.

Here you go, Daddy.

DOLL CONTINUES CRYING

Here, where's the off button?

SIRENS BLARE

What's going on out there?

I'm not sure.

Hang onto that a second,
I'll check it out.

What's going on, Callum?

Distress call from the Huntress.

There's been an expl*si*n on board.

Someone's been seriously injured.

It's being towed in now!

But Barry's on that boat.

And Concepta.

And Shay... Exactly...

Where's that ambulance?

Has anyone told Siobhan?

No! I'll tell her.

PHONE BUZZES
Oh!

Ah, leave it.

We never get the place to ourselves.

I'm a doctor.

Nicole. What can I do for you?

Yep, I'll be right there.
What is it?

The boat Shay went out on,

there's been an expl*si*n.

One person's seriously hurt.

All right, I'll drive you.

Poor Brendan.

What happened, Emma?

We'd only just got out onto the open
water when the engine blew up.

Brendan was standing
right next to it.

I tried my best to pull him
away from the flames.

Emma, Emma...

He is in good hands.

I want to go with him.

Yeah, no problem.

Hey.

Did you two see what happened?

No, not really.

We just heard the expl*si*n.

It would have wakened
the dead, Marlene.

I thought my time had come.

Young Shay, he saved the day.

Grabbed an extinguisher,
put the fire out.

You can let go now, Mum. No.

It's fine. No, never.

Here, what's this
I hear about you being a hero?

Well, I just did what
anyone else would.

Do you want me to give Finn a call,
let him know what's happened?

Well, he's in recovery.

Last thing he needs is more stress.

Sorry, Siobhan, is it OK for you to
take a look at Barry and Concepta?

Of course, yeah.
Why don't we do it in The Commodore?

Right, I'll get them inside.
Thanks. You too, son.

Hey.

Erm, look there's something
else I didn't really want to

say in front of Mum.

What?

You know the skipper?
Erm, Emma, Emma Bradshaw.

Look, before the expl*si*n,

I saw her just swigging
something out of a bottle.

Pretty sure it was drink,
vodka maybe, I think.

Someone should let Jim Murdock know.

It's his boat after all.
I rang Jim.

He didn't pick up,
but I left a message.

Brandies on the house.

For medicinal purposes.

I never touch Brandy, as a rule.

But I'll make an exception today.

Oh, you just force yourself, love.

Oh, yes, please,
I'll take one of them! Ah!

You can you make us both a strong
sweet cup of tea, please.

Of course, babe.

DOLL CRIES
Clint? Clint! Go on!

No!

What? Not like that!

What is that thing?

Er, a trial run.

Before they become parents for real.

It's beautiful what you're
doing for those two,

having their baby for them.

When are you taking
the pregnancy test?

After work today.

I'll light a wee candle for you.

Thanks.

How come you're
so gung h* behind all this?

A child needs love.

You, of all people,

should know that parenting is
about more than giving birth.

That's... very open-minded of
you, Concepta.

Marlene.

Can I have a word?

Shay thinks he saw Emma Bradshaw
drinking vodka before the expl*si*n.

And I spoke to the fire
investigator.

He reckons the engine's been
faulty for some time

and that a competent skipper should
have known not to set sail.

Or a skipper who wasn't drunk.

Emma's gone to hospital.

So, can you head over there
with Callum?

Of course. Thank you.

Yeah.

How's my surrogate today?

Well, I'm not pregnant yet,
if that's what you're asking.

As if.

Emma, this is
Detective Constable Al Quinn.

Any word on your colleague?

VOICE CRACKING: I rushed him down to
the operating theatre.

He's in a really bad way.

Don't upset yourself.
Come here and have a wee seat.

I need to ask you, Emma,

have you been drinking this morning?

No! I had a few last night...

Given the smoke inhalation
you've suffered,

will you consent to a blood test?

I'm sorry.

That was a lie.

I have had a few nips of vodka.

The fact that I've had a drink,

that's not the reason
the engine blew up.

I told the boat's owner,
Jim Murdock, that it was dangerous.

When? Last night.

Do you have any record of that?
Of course.

I left a report on his desk.

Well, Jim Murdock's here now.

So, I'll ask him.

OK, cheers.

Any news on how Brendan's doing?

Yeah. He's in surgery.

Are you really not going to let me
take a look at my own boat?

Not until the fire investigators
are finished.

Jim...

..did Emma Bradshaw inform
you that the engine was faulty?

No.

She didn't. OK.

Because she's saying that she put
a report on your desk last night...

There was no report on my desk.

The thing is, Marlene, Emma's
not been totally...

..reliable lately.

What do you mean?

She's been drinking...

..a lot.

I spoke to her about it.

She swore she'd cut down.

Hey!

Was Emma Bradshaw drunk in
charge of a boat with my son,

my mother and Barry on it?

Yeah, but Finn, they're all OK.

Well, it's no thanks to
Emma, by the sounds of things.

I probably should have fired her,

but she started working for my dad
when I was still at school.

Look, we don't know that Emma's
drinking had anything to do

with the expl*si*n.

So, let's just wait until the fire
investigators have done their job.

Yes?

So, erm, did you discharge yourself?

I just heard about the expl*si*n,
so I had to get here.

I heard you weren't
feeling too good.

All better now?

Finn? Ma! Ah, son. Oh, ma.

Are you all right? I'm fine.

Tough as old boots.
Your Shay was the hero.

He put the fire out.

Mrs O'Hare,
I can't apologise enough...

If I find out you're to
blame for all of this, Jim Murdock,

you'll be hearing from my solicitor.

It's really good to see you.

Come here, you. Oh.

OK, Marlene.
Thanks for letting us know.

Emma's blood sample's been
taken for analysis.

That report you said you wrote.

Jim Murdock's saying
he never got it.

But I left it on his desk.

You didn't email it?

No. What did you write it up on?

My laptop. Why?

It will confirm when you wrote
the report and printed it off.

Where is it? At home,

on the coffee table.

What the hell?

Leave this to me.

Looks like a break-in.

Can you go round the back?

Police!

Back door was open.

They removed the double-glazed
window in the kitchen.

Looks like they're long gone,
but can you check upstairs,

just to be sure. Yeah.

Police! Anyone here?

What's happened?
Don't touch anything.

Can you tell me what's missing?

The TV...

..most of my vinyl LPs...

..and the laptop.

Look who I found.

Oh! Dad! No way!

Hey, what's this I hear about
you putting the fire out?

Oh, it was nothing.

It wasn't nothing.

Aye, you're looking well.
Thank you.

I presume you didn't tell me

what was going on because
you thought I couldn't cope.

Aye, something like that.

Yeah, well, I'm coping fine.

Listen, I'm taking
your grandmother for a late

breakfast at The Commodore.
Do you two want to join us?

Oh, yeah, love to!
Er, I've got work.

OK. Well, another time.

Listen, half an hour, you two, OK?

See you, Siobhan.

Dad seems really well, doesn't he?

Away you go and get a shower.

Aye, I can take a hint.

I wasn't expecting Finn
back so soon.

Believe you me, I'll be
keeping a close eye on him.

Finn's dad, Gus...

What about him?

He had a breakdown too, didn't he?

And now Finn.

Finn is nothing like Gus.

So don't you be going putting two
and two together and getting five.

Finn needs calm heads,

not this... nonsense.

Emma Bradshaw admitted to
drinking alcohol before she took

the boat out.

So, Shay was right.

She's also been burgled.

When?

This morning.

She left home at eight.

How'd they get in?

Removed a double-glazed
window in the kitchen.

Hah, that's interesting.

Did they take any vinyl records?

Yeah, they did.

Sounds like the handiwork
of Davey Dillon to me.

The artist?

Well, artist and thief.

Can you see if you can track
him down for me?

Yeah. Cheers.

So, what else did they take?

The usual - TV, wireless speaker.

The annoying thing was that they
lifted Emma's laptop too.

Why annoying?

Well, she says that's what

she used to print off a report
about the state of the engine

of the Huntress, that she claims
she left on Jim Murdock's desk.

That's quite a coincidence.

Hmm, exactly.

We took some businessmen from
Belfast out yesterday.

The engine was really playing up.

You can ask Brendan...

..if he makes it through.

So, you flagged up your concerns
to the boat's owner, yeah?

I wrote up the report on my laptop,
went to Jim Murdock's office

and printed it off.

I left it on his desk.

Why didn't you email it?

Jim Murdock's dad wouldn't
accept emails, only a hard copy.

I suppose I've not got
out of the habit.

Did anyone see you leave
the report on Jim's desk?

No.

The place was empty.

I've a key.

What time was this?

About nine, I think.

What time did the Belfast
businessmen get off the boat?

Just after six.

So,

where were you for the
three hours in between?

In the pub...

..drinking.

Emma...

..are you absolutely sure you put
that report on Jim Murdock's desk?

I er, I get these...

..blackouts.

I know that I meant to do it.

I'm to blame for what
happened to Brendan.

What if he dies?

SHE SOBS

That laptop going missing could be
very handy for Jim Murdock.

I spoke to the Probation Service.

So, apparently Davey Dillon is
renting an artist's

studio on a farm near Ballymountain?

What was he inside for?

Burglary.

But since he got out of prison,
he's decided he's the next Picasso.

KNOCKS ON DOOR

Is this important? I'm a bit busy!

Yeah.

This is my colleague,
Detective Constable Quinn.

We just need to ask you
a couple of questions.

Tell me, Davey,

where were you between 8.00
and 9.30 this morning?

Here,

immersed in the act of creation.

What's this all about?

A break in.

Suspect removed
a double-glazed window.

Took some rare vinyl.

That's what I used to do.

Must be a copycat.
You reckon?

Sure I don't even have a
van any more.

How would I move the stuff?

Do you want to search me?

Search my whole studio.

You won't find any stolen
goods here.

Only my genius.

DOLL CRIES

Well, if it isn't my
favourite pub landlady.

Behave yourself, you.

Can I ask, was Emma Bradshaw in
here yesterday evening?

She was indeed.

Until what time?

About nine. I think she'd
left by the time the band came on.

Who left?

Emma Bradshaw.

Is there anything
else you can tell us?

Yeah, she almost
forgot her laptop bag.

Presumably
because she'd had a skinful? Hmm.

Aren't you a bit old to be
playing with dolls?

Very funny.

DOOR OPENS

Finn! Good to see you. pal.

How are ya?

How are ya, Callum?

Not too bad, boss.

I got to run.

Duty calls.

So! You back for good?

Well, we're taking each
day at a time, right, ma?

But you'll be in here
around lunchtime?

Barring earthquakes, yes.
Good lad!

Hey!

Mucker! How're you doing?

Mate.

Good to see ya.

Here, the big question,
is Marlene pregnant?

She's doing a test after work.

Ah. Nicole's a wee bit highly
strung at the moment.

DOLL CRYING
NICOLE: Clint Devine-Dunwoody!

Yes, my darling?

How come I just found
the baby in the cupboard?

Because she's doing my head in.

You won't be able to do that
with a real child.

No, he won't!

Now that Finn's back in town,

will he be moving into the
family home again?

I wouldn't have thought so.

What?

Oh, it's just there's been a lot of
chat... about you and Siobhan.

People say you took advantage
of Finn's illness to make

a move on his wife.

There is nothing going on between
me and Siobhan, all right?

I have offered to move out
more than once.

But Siobhan AND Finn have both
asked me to stay put.

Finn... I need a word.
How's your mum doing?

My mum is fine.

Listen... I want you
to tell me the truth.

Did you have a drink this morning
before you took the boat out?

When I woke up, hair of the dog.

I took a wee bottle of
vodka on the boat, too. What?!

Me having a drink, Finn,
that's not why the engine blew up.

That doesn't make it right.
I know that!

Look... we've been mates
since school.

If you're not coping,
you could come to me.

Fair enough,
might be a bit rich coming from me,

but look, in the end,
I managed to reach out for help.

What happened this morning,

I reckon it's the shock
I needed to stop me drinking.

Sarge!

Yeah!

Take a look at this.

Rare vinyl,

matching the LPs that were
stolen from Emma Bradshaw's house.

So, you've tracked down the person
who's selling them?

I have.

Calls himself Jack Yeats.

I looked him up
and guess what he is?

An artist,

brother of the poet.

Have you tracked this
Jack Yeats down?

Better than that.

I've posed as a collector
of rare vinyl.

And I'm meeting him in 20 minutes.

Er, where's Al?

Don't know.

He said he had something
to sort out.

Good work!

I take it you've seen Finn.

Yeah.

Listen, Al...

..I've been thinking.

Maybe you should move out after all.

So, Finn can move back in?

This is his house.

Niamh and Shay is his kids.

The man's recovering from PTSD
for goodness' sake!

How did I end up here, Al?

It's a total mess.

You were leaving Port Devine,
remember?

Heading back to Belfast.

Then Finn nearly
died in a car crash.

And ever since,
everything's out of control.

So, take the control back,
all right?

You're right.

You and me and Finn...

..it's a mess.

So, let's get out of here.

Go to Belfast,

like you were intending.

But what about the kids?

Well, they aren't kids any more.

We can get an apartment.

They can come, move in,

if, if that's what they want.

How are we going to afford that?

I have just put
all my money into the GP Practice.

It's going to take a
while to get that back.

And you're even more
broke than I am.

If I can find a way,
will you come with me?

You all right, Davey?

All right.

Just meeting someone
but I can't see him.

That wouldn't be
The Vinyl Junkie by any chance?

Yeah. You know him?

It's me.

I'm Vinyl Junkie.

There's er...

..been a mistake.

Stop, Davey.

MARLENE GRUNTS

So much for you not having
a van these days!

More LPs... and a TV.

Where's the laptop, Davey?

Don't know what you're
talking about.

I never saw a laptop.

We've checked the serial
number on that TV

and the list of missing vinyl
that Emma Bradshaw gave us.

The property
we found on you is a match.

No comment.

The officers also recovered 200 quid in
cash hidden in your glove compartment.

It wasn't "hidden".

Is that what you got for
selling Emma's laptop?

No.

I sold one of my paintings.

Who to?

The buyer wishes to
remain anonymous.

I'm not surprised.

So Davey... definitely broke
into Emma's house,

but swore he never took her laptop?

That 200 quid,
he could have sold it.

Yeah, 200 quid's bit too
much for a three-year-old laptop.

What I'd like to see is
Davey's phone,

see who he's been talking to.

What're you thinking? That the
laptop was stolen to order?

Exactly.

Question is - who's been doing
the ordering? Emma or Murdock?

Davey had his phone on him when
we had a look around the studio.

Maybe it's still there.

So, what are your plans, son?

I haven't really decided yet, Ma.

But you're back for good, right?

I'll get us some coffees.

He'll be staying.

Don't you worry.

Just reminded Mrs Devine-Dunwoody
why she married me.

Ah, that's too much information.

I needed to take her mind off all
this baby stuff...

She's a lucky woman,
you're a very handsome guy.

Thank you very, very much.

Seriously, look at him,
giving it the Big I Am.

That was a bit of a damp squib.

The baby crying put
Clint off his stride.

Did you really just tell me that?

Taylor, would you mind
baby-sitting for me on Friday night?

Barry's organising a big charity
dinner at the whiskey distillery.

Baby-sitting? For a doll?

Well, yeah,
the point is to do it for real.

Like it's, like it's our child.
DOLL CRIES

OK. For 50 quid.

DOLL SQUEALS

Deal!

This child's starting to
get on my nerves!

Look what I found in Davey's studio.

The phone? Yeah!

Great work.

Presume it's locked?

Yeah. I'll speak to the
cyber support unit.

You off out?

Yeah, I need to speak to
a witness in that stalking case.

What witness?

Mary McPherrin.

I'm on the mobile if you need me.

Since when have you been
mixed up with Donnie Kesson?

He's a dangerous man.

I can handle Donnie.

Have you got that police
intel he's after?

Before I give you this,
I need to know what you're planning,

if someone were to get hurt...
It's victimless.

A robbery.

Donnie just wants to know
if he's being investigated or not.

Make sure the coast is clear.

Of course, if you don't... want
the £1,000?

I definitely want the £1,000.

I'm moving to Belfast.

This proves that Donnie is not
the subject of an active operation.

PHONE BUZZES

What's up?

Just wondering when you'll be back.

Marlene wants to talk about the
Emma Bradshaw investigation.

I'm just finishing up with
this witness.

Mary McPherrin?

Yeah. I shouldn't be long.

These two calls here, Davey,

who were you talking to?

Don't remember.

Really? Let me give you a clue.

That number is registered to
Jim Murdock's office.

Is it?

Right...

Let me tell you what I
think happened.

Jim Murdock paid you £200 to
break into Emma Bradshaw's house.

He was after the laptop and he told
you to make it look like a burglary.

Am I getting close?

SNICKERS
You're off your nut.

Did you ever stop to think why
he wanted that laptop?

Hmm?

Emma swears she wrote Murdock
a report telling him that the

engine on the Huntress
was dangerous.

This morning, that engine exploded
leaving Brendan McKenna

very badly burned.

He's in intensive care.

They're saying his chances
are 50-50.

So, tell me, Davey,

where did you meet Murdock to
hand over the laptop

and get your 200 quid?

The car park of the Dew Drop Inn,
on the Ballymountain Road.

When?

10.15.

VEHICLE APPROACHES

BEEPS HORN

What are you doing here?

Charming.

Are you surprised that I'm not
over the moon to see you

after what you put me
and my dad through?

I am sorry about that.

Which is why I've brought you this.

The paintball g*n!

You can put the ATM
robbery behind you.

Thanks.

How's your mum?

Still in prison.

This is goodbye.

Like I said to your dad,
you won't be hearing from me again.

You've spoken to my dad?
Aye, we did a last bit of business.

Later.

WALKIE TALKIE: Papa-Delta-Two-Two.

Jim Murdock has just pulled up.

What's going on?

Jim Murdock.

I am arresting you for conspiracy
to commit burglary. You do...

Stop!

Whoa!

Jim Murdock, I am arresting you for
endangering a ship and its passengers,

conspiracy to commit burglary and
perverting the course of justice.

You do not 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 in evidence.

We're looking for the laptop.

Can you tell us where it is?

Don't know what you're
talking about. Aha.

Keeping your hand in, aye?

Just the right
place at the right time.

I owe you an apology.

No, you do not.

You nearly died in a car crash,
Finn,

and that clearly triggered
all sorts of trauma.

You just need some time
and space to get over it.

And when you're ready to come back,

we will all welcome you
with open arms.

Even Callum?

I think he feels I let him down.

Ach!

Callum loves the bones of you.

Come on.

This is a print-out of the report
Emma left on your desk

yesterday evening.

Where did you get that?

Off Emma's laptop,

which we found in the bin
outside your office.

It's now with forensics.

Will we find
your fingerprints on it?

Why didn't you just carry out
the repairs on the boat...

..rather than sending it out to sea
with passengers on board?

I've got a kid
and another on the way.

I couldn't afford the repairs.

I haven't even paid
the insurance premiums.

In the two years since my dad died,

I've run the company
into the ground.

A man was very badly injured!
He nearly died!

I'm sorry.

I spoke to the hospital.

Brendan has life-changing injuries,
but he's going to pull through.

It's one thing trying to
cover your negligence,

it's another doing your best to
make sure Emma took the blame.

I panicked...
You told a pack of lies.

And that's unforgiveable.

Charge sheet for Jim Murdock.

Cheers, cub.

Sarge...

Do you know how long Al is
planning to stay here?

No. I hope it's forever though.

With the Inspector off sick,

Al's played a massive
part in keeping this place going.

Why do you ask?

It just seems like everything's
gone wrong since he arrived.

You can't blame Al for Finn's
breakdown. I don't...

That call we made to Occupational
Health may well have saved

Finn's life and we have Al
to thank for that.

Hey!

You heard about Brendan?

He's going to pull through.

Marlene called.

Jim Murdock's been charged.

Whatever Jim did, I was the skipper.

I should never have taken
that boat out.

And you're going to have to pay
the price for that.

What have they charged you with?

I've been charged with
endangering a ship.

They're still waiting
on the blood alcohol test but...

..you should know, I've made
an appointment to talk to my doctor

about my drinking.

Now that sounds like the first step

on the road to the rest
of your life.

So, you're all sorted now?

Well...

..people think I've just
discharged myself but...

..the truth of it is the residential
programme ended days ago.

Why didn't you come back before?

Cos I've let people down,
badly - colleagues, family.

What's the point of being here
if people can't trust you?

Give them a chance.

How come I can talk to you
easier than me own family?

Because I'm a fellow screw-up.

THEY CHUCKLE

Do you want to come to
The Commodore for a soft drink?

Too much temptation.

Thanks, Finn.

Any time.

DOLL CRIES

I've fed you, I've burped you,
I've changed your nappy.

Why will you not stop crying?

Here, give that child to me.

BABY SETTLES DOWN
There we are. All settled.

What if I'm just not cut out
to look after a baby?

I had a goldfish once,
but it didn't even last a day.

It'll be different
when you have your own.

Will it? Even if
I don't actually give birth myself!

That makes no difference.

Believe you, me.

Thank you.

You were great with Kiera.

Kiera wasn't a baby.

That was all dressing up and,
and tea parties.

Not dirty nappies and sick.

Ach.

They want this baby so much.

I think I'm pregnant.

What? I thought you were taking
a test this evening after work?

It's just a hunch.

I've been queasy all morning.

You don't look very pleased.

It's just, earlier on, Jim Murdock
was running straight at me

and I dodged out of his way

to protect the baby.

Oh, sure that's perfectly natural.

Aye, but I can't spend the next nine
months only doing half the job,

can I?

Carrying someone else's child,

what the hell was I thinking?

I wanted a princess,

a mini-me.

Not a... screaming,

boking baby.

I'm really sorry, Clint, I think
we've made a terrible mistake.

How would you feel about me
moving back to Belfast?

Erm ...

..well, you know I,

I love you being here, Mum,
but that might be a good idea.

Really, why?

I just think you
and Dad need some space.

But here, you know,
Belfast is not so far.

You can get there
and back in a day, easy.

Get where and back?

Belfast.

Mum's moving town.

Tell me you're not moving to
Belfast with my dad.

And what makes you assume...

I know you're an item.

Dad told me.

You can't move to Belfast with him.
You don't know him.

Of course I know him...

You think you do.

I love my dad, but you haven't got
a clue what he's really like...

..or what he's done.

All right, Clint.
All right, mate?

Can I ask you a question?
Aye, sure.

What's your opinion of Al?

Mate, he never misses a
chance to flirt with Nicole

right in front of me.
If you ask me, he's a sleazy git.

He's having it away with Siobhan.

He's not... I asked him straight
out and he denied it.

But I saw him, he was all over her

the night Finn had to go
to hospital.

And all that bull he chats
about being their best mate...

DOLL CRIES

I think the baby needs changing.

Callum, never have children.

Because you'll never get
a minute's peace.

Boss? Can I have a word?

I thought you weren't
speaking to me. Why?

Well, because I was responsible
for getting you injured, Callum.

That's all forgotten.

Really?

Why were you being
so strange earlier?

Because you were with Al.

Look, I know you go
back years, boss,

but he's not the man you
think he is.

What do you mean?

He's passing confidential police
intelligence to criminals.

He's a corrupt cop.
