MOBILE RINGS

Hello, Siobhan O'Hare.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello. Can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you now.

I'm leaving now. I'll be with
your mum in about 15 minutes, OK?

ENGINE STARTS

Hey! Hey!

That's my car!

- You said the engine was
off when you left the car?

- I put my bag in the boot,
I walked away to get signal,

and when I turned
around, they were

already in the car with
the engine running.

- Hey, I just saw
Finn. He told me

your car was stolen!
- Right in front of me

and my medical
bag's in the boot.

There's morphine and
diazepam in that bag.

- Do you still have your key?

- I locked it.

- OK, let's do a door-to-door.

If there are any
witnesses, find them.

Number one priority is
getting that medical bag back.

And get Ryan on
the case as well.

- Yeah, will do, Sarge.
- Cheers, Cub. - Thanks, Marlene.

Hey. Now, what are you doing
working on your wedding day?

- Well, we're not
signing the actual

documents until tomorrow.
Today's just the blessing.

- Just the blessing?
Everybody's going

to be at the church and
your party at The Commodore.

You OK?

- When you and Finn were
getting married, were you...

Were you full of nerves?

- Yes! It's natural.

- OK.

- Nicole?

Nicole?

GLASS SMASHES

- Oh, no! No! No!

No!

- Are you OK?
- No, I am not OK!

I've just smashed an entire
crate of wedding Prosecco,

this place is a mess,
and they're not here yet!

- Who?
- Caterers.

I had their number in my diary,
but I can't find my diary anywhere!

I need those caterers here now.

- I'm sure they're
just running late.

I think your head's melted

cos you're worried about
seeing Clint at the wedding.

And you feel guilty about what
happened between you and Callum.

- Maybe I should just come clean
and tell Clint the whole truth?

- Clint's made 100 mistakes.

You've made one.

- You don't understand.

I have sinned.

I need to atone.

- Hello?

Hello?

Didn't mean to interrupt. I'm just
here to get my suit for the wedding.

Is everything all right?

- Everything's fine, Clint.

I'll go get your suit.
- Cheers.

Morning.

- Morning.

- No witnesses from
the door to door.

And nothing from the CCTV.

- Siobhan's car was the second
stolen in the last two weeks.

- You think they're connected?

- Well, both are expensive cars,
both owners still have their keys,

and they were both taken
within Port Devine.

- Now, this is strange.

I've got a distinct
memory of ordering you

not to come to
this station today.

- I know, but I won't be
here for long, promise.

- Whoever stole the car would

have needed to clone
the key fob in advance.

- What about the kids
from the residential home?

There's at least one of them
who has a record for car theft.

- Er, no, it couldn't have been
them. They're not in Port Devine.

Louise has taken them on
an overnight to Portrush.

- Find out if all those
kids were on the trip.

Check any known joyriders
we've got on the system.

Jo?

My office, now.

Shut the door.

Have you been keeping
tabs on Louise

Halbridge, despite me
specifically telling you not to?

- No.
- Then how come you know they're on a field trip in Portrush?

- Your daughter's just got
a job with Louise, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, well, I
overheard her talking

in the pub with her
mates about the trip.

She said that she couldn't
go because of the wedding.

Look, I still think Louise has
criminal tattooed on her forehead.

But since I don't want
to risk my career,

I'm staying well shot
of this car theft.

I already have enough
cases on my desk.

This... cannot... be happening.

Oh, yes, I'm well aware
that it is my fault.

But I still need you to pull
your finger out and fix it.

Well, you can shove
your vol-au-vents

where the sun don't shine!

- Right. Six dozen
bows, as requested.

- We were up half the night
cutting and tying them.

- Well, what use are bows
when we have no food?

- No food?

- What did the caterers say?

- That I ordered
it for next month.

- And have you?

- That would appear
to be the case.

- Nicole's been under a
lot of pressure lately.

- Well... I like the new look.

It's more...

..natural.

- Are you on glue?!

- Hey, listen, what's this I hear
about Clint singing you a song

and you giving him the bum's rush?
- I don't want to talk about it.

- What has the man done now?

- I said I don't want
to talk about it!

- So, how much of a disaster are
we looking at here, wedding-wise?

- Well, the car and
the flowers are fine.

It's just the food and
decorating the pub and church.

- Right, we'll do a ring round.

Somebody's bound to be able
to rustle up some sandwiches.

- Right, well if you decorate
The Commodore, I'll head

over to the church.
- Great. We will get this sorted.

Nicole, on the other hand...

Come on.

All of the kids in the
home are accounted for.

None of them are in Port Devine.

- Hang on. Siobhan said you
got the car serviced recently?

- Yeah, Blare Motors
up in Rathgill.

- Well, it looks like the other stolen
car was serviced at the same garage.

- Well, that's
somewhere to start!

- That's Bobby
Blare's shop, right?

Well, it used to be. He
died about six months ago.

His daughter Grace runs it now.

Maybe you two could nip out
and have a word with her?

Listen, I went to
school with Grace's mum

and they took Bobby's death pretty
hard, so just take it easy, yeah?

- Grace Blare?

- Can I help you?

- Hopefully, yeah.

But listen, sorry to
hear about your dad.

- Yeah. Well, he'd been
suffering for quite a while.

What's this about?

- There were two cars stolen
recently in Port Devine.

- Right.

- Both of which were serviced
here in the last few weeks.

- One of the cars serviced was
stolen this morning at 9am.

- Well, I was at
Ballymore playing fields,

walking the dog
with my boyfriend,

not out nicking cars
before breakfast.

- Look, we're not
accusing you, Grace.

We're just looking for any
information that can help us.

What's your boyfriend's name?

- Liam Hughes.

- OK.

Who has access to the keys once the
cars are brought into the garage?

- They're kept in a
lock box, in the office.

They need to be signed in and
out whenever we move the cars.

I'm not lax with the keys!

- It sounds like your
dad taught you well.

We're going to need to
see those records and

have a look around,
if that's OK?

- Sure.

I'll get you the book.

- Thanks.

- Her boyfriend, Liam.

He works over at
the go-kart track.

He's a record as long as his arm.
- Well, let's go have a word.

- This place has had a facelift.

When I used to race, the
roof was coming down,

there was water on the track.

Crazy adrenaline!

Look...

Boom! Ryan Power!

- Very good!

Liam Hughes?
- Look, I'll call you back in a bit.

Yous again! What do
you want this time?

- There's been a number
of cars stolen around

Port Devine the last few weeks.

- Go on, Mickey!
Take him on the bend!

TYRES SQUEAL

- Look, Liam, we're just
making some enquiries.

See, all the cars stolen were
serviced at Blare's Motors.

- Grace's garage?

- Yeah.

That's your girlfriend, right?

- Aye.
- Ha-ha! Ryan Power!

Well, would you look at
the size of this fella!

- Terry!
- This boyo would have put Lewis Hamilton to shame.

If he'd only stuck at it!

- Track's looking great.

- Aye, we were on the ropes for
a while. But we pulled through.

So, what can I do for you?

- A car was stolen
this morning at 9am.

- Well, go on then, if it wasn't
you, tell them where you were,

help them get this cleared up.

- 9am?

I was walking the dog with Grace.
- Where did you walk it?

- The beach.

- I assume Liam's
disclosed his record?

- Aye.

I took him on as a
favour to Grace's dad.

Bobby and I were thick as
thieves, before he passed.

- Liam said they were walking
the dog on the beach at 9am.

But Grace said they were on the
playing fields at Ballymore.

Better let the Sarge know.

- Thank you.

Right. I've got Mahon's Butchers

sending over enough sausage
rolls to feed an army.

And I've got Dot Harper
on garlic bread duties.

We're getting there. Slowly.
- Oh, Siobhan, you've been amazing!

- You know what I
don't understand?

We all know Nicole loves
the bones of Clint.

Why won't she get back with him?

- Haven't got a clue.

- You know, me and
Finn were wondering.

Has Clint been a naughty boy?

I mean, he had a
reputation back in the day.

- A reputation for what?
- Er...

Singing.

Sure, isn't he a great singer?

- So, what are you wearing,
Nicole, to this blessing?

I'm assuming you've
bought an outfit?

- Erm...

I'm not sure I'm going to go.
- What?

A wedding in Port Devine and you not
there? I've never heard the like!

- I did pick something out.

But that was before my
marriage broke down.

And I'm just not sure
it's appropriate,

given everything that's
been going on recently.

- Why don't you let us
be the judge of that?

- Well...

I suppose there's no
harm in trying it on.

- So, how's your mum?

- I know what this is about.

- Yeah, I know you do.

I sent Callum and Ryan
over there this morning.

Grace, can I ask you
something personal?

- Why am I going out with Liam?

- He does have a
bit of a bad rep.

Are you sure that Liam couldn't

have accessed to those keys? I
mean, even without you knowing?

You know if you're under pressure...
- Marlene.

It wasn't Liam.

- OK.

- We're just dating, Marlene.

It's not like I'm marrying him after
knowing him for less than a year!

- Wait, what?

Hold on! Wait!

Oi!

Grace!

Is that what you
think I'm doing?

- I don't know. Is it?

Look Liam's made some

mistakes in the past, but
he's turned things around.

For me.

Thanks for the drink!
- Grace...

Grace, look, I'm sorry, I...

Grace!

Oh!
- Oh!

- Talk about bad luck!

We're not even meant to see
each other before the blessing.

- Who was that?

- Erm... Grace is the
daughter of an old friend.

And I think she might
be in a bit of bother.

Siobhan's car was
stolen this morning.

And I think Grace's boyfriend might
have had something to do with it.

- So, you're working!

- Ah, well, sort of.

- Well, I am marrying a cop. I guess
I'll just have to get used to this.

- Mm-hm.
- It's all good.

Right, next time I see you,

we'll be on our way to the
church for the blessing.

Argh! Hee-hee!

Bye!

- Right, well, I reckon the cars
are being stripped down locally

and the parts sold on.

- You'd need to know your way
around a motor to pull that off.

- Well, according to Terry, the
guy who owns the go-kart track,

Liam's a self-taught mechanic
who fixes karts for extra cash.

- And there was key cloning
equipment at Grace's garage.

No sign of Siobhan's
car, though.

- But Liam could be using the cloning
equipment without Grace knowing.

And if he is stripping
down the cars

and he's not doing it at Grace's
garage, then the question is, where?

- OK. Let's find
out if the Blares

have any other properties in Port Devine.
- Yup!

- Sarge. - Yeah?
- You're very laid back.

Is there nothing you should
be doing for the blessing?

- The rings.

The rings! Right, I'll be back!

Ten minutes tops!

- It's like she's forgotten
she's getting married.

- It'll be fine.

- Well, I hope
Marlene and Ash like

jelly and ice cream, cos that's
all I could get my hands on.

- They'll be so caught up
in the romance of the day,

they won't even notice.
- I hope you're right.

- Are you both ready?
- Oh! As we'll ever be.

- I'm worried that I
may have gone a bit OTT.

- You? Never!

- OK, then.

- Ooh!
- Oh!

- What do you think?

It's too much, isn't it?
- No! It's...

Amazing!

Calling me back.

Hello?

CHUCKLES

Twit-twoo!

Imagine how Clint will feel when
he sees you looking like that.

- Well, it's not what Clint
feels that's the problem.

It's what I feel.

Guilt.

About Callum.

- Right, if you take this
box in, I'll take this one.

- Yeah, sure.

Do you want me to take that?
- Yeah, that one. - Cheers, Barry.

Barry, is this not like lying
in the eyes of God or something?

- Would you shush!

Marlene wanted her
blessing in a church.

Don't worry, you said, a
small church in a small town,

you said, nobody'll even want
to know or care, you said.

- Well, let's hope I'm right.

Because Nicole's got it
plastered all over social media.

- DISTANT CHATTER

- They asked for your name...
- You told them my name?!

Don't talk to them!

- Clint?

Clint?

- Didn't hear you there.

- What's up?

- I'm just wondering where
it went so wrong with Nicole.

I've tried everything.
Talking, singing...

I've even apologised,
but honestly... I'm lost.

I don't even know
what I've done wrong.

Do you?

- All I know is it's not too
late to make things right.

- I think it is.
- Trust me, Clint, it's not. Just give it another shot.

Besides, you're sleeping on
a sofa at your mate's house.

What have you got to lose?

- You've just given me an idea.

- Make sure and keep those
flowers straight now, won't you?

Here, tell me this.

Did Finn say anything else
about his birth mother?

- Not a word.

He said he never wants to talk
about that Assumpta ever again.

- Glad to hear it.

She's a right bit of work,
that woman, I can tell you.

- Grace's dad used
to rent this barn.

- Well, then, let's
take a look around.

- RATTLING

- Is there someone
else here, Barry?

- No.

- Police! Stop!
- Stay right there, Liam!

- Liam Hughes. I'm
arresting you for car theft.

You don't have to say anything, but
I must caution you if you do not

mention when
questioned something

you later rely on in court...
- Nothing, Sarge.

- Where's the medical bag, Liam?

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Yeah, right.

- What on Earth are you doing?!

Grace Blare?

- Both Grace and Liam are trying
to take the blame for the two

thefts and denying the
other one was involved.

- Maybe they're in it together,
like a joint enterprise.

- No, I don't know. I think
Liam has his hooks in Grace.

She's no motive.

- How about blackmail
for a motive?

Check out these text
messages on Grace's phone.

- "Money dropped off.

"This is over. I'm done."

Who's been sending
her these messages?

- Someone's been
blackmailing her.

I don't know who they are
or what they have on her,

but it all started
after her dad died.

And then when you showed up
at the garage this morning,

she got scared and
that's when she told me.

Erm, I got angry with her.

But I said I'd move
the car while she...

..ditched the bag and
so that's what we did.

- "This isn't over until
you give me what I'm owed.

"Next payment three weeks,
or the pictures go live."

What pictures?

What's been happening
to you, Grace?

- Dad was having an affair.

- Your dad?

- I didn't know...

..until I got the first message.

It was from some...

..woman, claiming that
he owed her money.

She said that if I didn't pay
then, she'd make it public.

I didn't believe her at first,

but she knew all this
personal stuff about him.

And then she sent me a picture of
them together through the post.

- Where's that photo now?

- Well hidden.

If my mum had seen it...

It's like we didn't
even know him.

He had this...

..secret life going
on without us!

- So you'd steal the cars and sell
the parts to pay off the blackmailer?

- I'd have used my inheritance,
but it's stuck in probate.

- And she kept asking for more?

- The amounts got bigger.

And when I said I
didn't have the money...

..she said she'd put
the picture online.

I'd honestly no idea that Siobhan's
medical bag was in the car.

She was really good to me and
my family while my dad was ill.

I'm so sorry.

- Grace, when and where are you
due to make the next payment?

I can't believe I got
it so wrong about Liam.

I really thought this had
his name written all over it.

- The things people do for love, eh?
- Hm.

I can't believe that
about Grace's dad.

He always talked about his wife,

Vicky, like they were
this match made in heaven.

Right, shall we find out who
this blackmailer is, then?

- Sarge, do you even want to go
through with this blessing today?

- Aye, but I have time to finish this case.
- No, you don't.

No. Come on, you need to get
ready and get to the church.

- Right, will you
let me know when

you know who the blackmailer is?
- Yes.

Good luck, Sarge.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, there she is.

OK, here we go.

I wonder where he's heading.

- CAR ENGINE STARTS

- Stop right there!

Hey, cut him off! Cut him off!

- TYRES SQUEAL

- Out of the vehicle now!

- You all right?

Out!

Terry McGavey. I'm arresting you
for the blackmail of Grace Blare.

You don't have to say anything,
but I must caution you

if you do not mention when
questioned something which

you later rely on in court,
it may harm your defence.

If you do say anything, it
may be given in evidence.

Good work.
- Cheers.

I thought you and Bobby
were thick as thieves.

- Bobby owed me money.

- Money for what?

- I lent him ten grand
to start the garage.

I always knew he was good
for it, but then he died.

Look, my track
was falling apart.

I went to Grace's ma,
Vicky, and explained.

She fed me some rubbish about
the will being stuck in probate.

- Who's the woman in this photo?

- I found some
random girl online,

got one of the kids from the track
to fake a picture of them together.

Vicky made it clear
wasn't getting a penny.

And I knew Grace would try

to protect her ma.
Not tell her about it.

But listen, Grace was just
paying me back what's mine,

from her inheritance.
- No, Terry!

You turned your best friend's
daughter into a criminal!

- What?
- Grace started stealing cars to pay you off.

- I don't know anything about that.
- The will is stuck in probate.

She has no money to pay you.

- You've been blackmailing
a 19-year-old girl

and now she's at risk
of losing everything.

- I'd no idea about
the cars. Or the will.

I just...

I just wanted to
keep my track open.

- Your dad wasn't
having an affair, Grace.

- Terry was supposed
to be my dad's friend.

- I've spoken to Siobhan

and she's going to put in a
good word for you in court.

She understands this
wasn't your fault.

- At least I can remember my
dad for who he really was.

- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

- Hello? Earth to my wife!

- Well, not until
tomorrow, officially.

- Yeah, well, a
blessing in the church

and a pint in The Commodore's
good enough for me.

Do you think you can park the
work for a couple of hours

and try to enjoy yourself?

- Yeah. Let's do it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, hi, love!

- Shut the front door!
You look stunning!

- Thank you and
thank you so much for

organising the party
and everything.

- Honestly... I think
I've messed it up.

I... I lost my diary
and the caterers

are not going to be who
you expect them to be.

- Sorry, hold on.
You lost your diary?

What is going on with you
at the minute, Nicole?

- I just feel like everyone expects
me to be perfect, but I'm not.

- What do you mean?

- Nothing! This is your day.

I'm just going to go
fix my eye make-up.

- What...

Oh, thank you so
much for coming.

- You are a verified knockout!

- Thanks.

- Niamh, look at you!

- You look gorgeous, love.
- Thanks.

- Sarge? - Oh!
- Can I have a word?

- So, Liam was willing to go to
prison for Grace, even though it had

nothing to do with him.
- Mm-hm.

- Wow!

- Welcome, everyone...
- You look amazing.

- If you'd like to join me inside the
church, we can begin the blessing.

- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

- Finally, one of my
plans has worked out!

- Hang on a minute...
- This is my Godfather, the Bishop.

He's come to witness the
blessing. It's a surprise!

- Er, Nicole, does the Bishop
know this is a same-sex blessing?

- Oh, I told him that
Marlene was marrying Ash.

- Hm, Ash could
be a boy and er...

..Barry doesn't actually have

permission to do this
blessing in the church.

- What?

- Yeah. Stall him.

- Campbell!

So good of you to come!

- Of course.
- How are you?

- Shush, he's there.

- Come here.

Uncle Barry, I don't understand,
why did you lie to me?

- Because I knew how
much it meant to you.

And I wanted you and Ash to
have the wedding of your dreams.

I'm sorry.

- You old fool.

You know I was this close
to telling you, I...

I didn't want the blessing, but you
said you had the permission, so...

- But I thought you were ask...
- But...

Even if I did, it was never going to
be worth you losing your vocation.

Ever!

We need to call this off.

Go, go, go!

We need to get out of here.

- Bishop, I am so, so sorry.

We've had a last
minute cancellation.

- LAUGHTER

MUSIC PLAYS

CLINKS GLASS

- So, the blessing didn't go
exactly as planned, which might have

been something to do with me...

..but tomorrow, you'll be married
in a registry office and tonight

you both look like a picture,
so I want to toast you anyway.

To Marlene, you're the
sister I never had.

And to Ash, welcome
to the family!

So, everyone, raise their
glasses to Marlene and Ash!

- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC STARTS UP

- There you go, Jo. - Thank you.
- That'll be £3, please.

- Hey, let me get this one.

- To say thank you.

And apologise for this morning.

I shouldn't have pounced
on you like that.

And I should take
you at your word.

To trust.

- To trust.

- Finn! Come on and dance!

- A-ha, I think
I'd better dance.

See you later.
- Right.

Hey.

It looks like the boss is starting
to realise I'm not the big bad wolf.

- Glad to hear it.

So, do you, er...

Fancy a dance?

- I think we both know
that's a bad idea.

- I thought there was no-one

staying at granny's BnB tonight?
- What are you talking about?

- Dot Harper just said that
whoever's staying there has been

singing at the top of their
lungs for the past hour.

Does that mean I have to
change the beds tomorrow?

- Wait, wait, wait.
I haven't taken

any bookings. There shouldn't
be anyone at your mum's.

- If it's not one
thing, it's another, eh?

I'll go take a look.

- You're looking a wee
bit peaky. You all right?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's just all been...

..a bit fast.

- Aye.

Well, I must say, I did think that
the proposal was a wee bit quick.

You know, I... I think Ash
actually felt the same, originally.

- Oh, really? She said that?

- Well, no, she... I think she was
just having some reservations that

things were a bit
rushed, you know.

- Hm, why would she say yes
if she was having doubts?

- Right, what's up?

- Nothing. I'm...
I'm fine. I'm good.

- I wasn't born yesterday, love.

Come on.

- I just spoke to Barry.

And he told me that you told him

that you weren't sure
about getting married.

- Well, yeah, at first, I was
worried you were rushing into things,

having been in the
closet for so long.

But like, I'm here, aren't I?

- Yeah...

- You don't want
to do this, do you?

- No, I do. I do...

- Oh, you really don't!

What, are we making
a big mistake here?

Why did you ask me to marry you?

- Because I love you!

But I think I panicked when I
thought I might lose you and I...

I think that's why I
asked you to marry me.

- Why didn't you say
any of this before?

- Because today it just
suddenly became so real.

- Your head has been
in work all day.

And...

I...
- Ash! Ash, wait, wait, wait! Wait!

That does not mean
that I don't love you.

- That's exactly what
it means, Marlene.

- No, I...

- Last time we were at a wedding
together, it was our own.

Nicole, I'm sorry.
For everything.

I love you.

And to me, we're still
married. Nothing's changed.

I want us to give it another go.

And I'll be better,

whatever it takes.

- Clint, I can't!

I've already broken our vows.

I slept with someone else.
