03x11 - Episode 11

[bunniefuu]

Yeah. Where are you?

Keep your wig on, Baz. I'm
about two minutes away.

What the hell?! Did you
follow me? Hand it over!

I don't know what you're talking
about. Just give it back!

Just give it back!

Get off! Give it to me!

Oh, hey, hey! Come on,
what's going on here?!

Stay out of it!

Argh!

Hey! Hey! Hey, come
back here, you!

You all right, son? I'm fine.

Hey, steady, steady,
steady, easy.

I wouldn't be surprised there if you
haven't fractured that elbow, lad.

You better ring your dad.

Is his dad a doctor?

No, no. He's the local
police inspector.

Hey, Dad. Can you get down here?

I thought you were
taking a week off. Aye.

To spend with my new wife.

Seeing as we didn't get married,
I just thought, you know...

Have you seen Ash lately?
No. And to be honest, Barry,

I don't think she's ever
going to speak to me again.

So you've never seen this
lad before in your life? No.

And you've no clue why he
might want to hurt you?

Mental health
issues? I don't know.

Matthew Halbridge?

Does that name
ring any bells? No.

Halbridge?

Isn't that the surname
of that Louise woman?

Look, can I get off? I've
told yous everything I know.

Are you sure you don't
want a lift to A&E?

Aye, he wouldn't let me ring him
an ambulance. I can drive myself.

We'll need your contact details.

Marlene, I need to
talk to you. Mm-hm.

I don't think this
guy's the victim.

Oh? Barry said the other
lad pushed him over.

That's not what I saw.

The other lad was half
his size and scared.

I think he just
wanted to get away.

OK. Cheers, Shay.

CAR ENGINE STARTS

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

Finn? No.

Assumpta? Siobhan.

Finn's wife.

Siobhan! Of course!

Mwah. Oh!

Nice to meet you at last.
Well, the pleasure's all mine.

Although, it would have been more
of a pleasure if it was after 10am.

I would have had my face on.

Oh, stop!

Right...

What's in the bag?

Ah! Bed linen.

I can't have paying guests staying
in dirty sheets, now, can we?

Guests?

Do you not know? Concepta
rents out the rooms.

People pay to stay here?

So, what's my son at today?

Oh, he's working all day.

But I'm sure he'll
catch up with you later.

I hope so!

I didn't fly all this way to stare
at my sister's dowdy interiors.

Matthew Halbridge is
Louise Halbridge's son.

And he just attacked this
Dara on the promenade?

Well, not according
to your Shay.

He reckons Matthew
is the victim.

Even though Dara's gone to A&E?

That's what Shay said.

I don't want Jo
anywhere near this, OK?

Anywhere near what?

Marlene and Ryan have been called
out to an incident that may

be connected to
Louise Halbridge.

Yeah, understood.

Sorry, am I missing
something here?

Better have a chat in my office.

A teenage girl.

A very vulnerable
teenage girl, Kerry.

She, er... She died
of an overdose.

What's that got
to do with Louise?

Louise promised me she
would take care of Kerry.

Instead, she k*lled her.

I find that hard to believe.

OK, look, Louise was
the one who called 999

the night that Kerry died.

And when the emergency
services turned up,

the drugs that k*lled her
just magically disappeared?

Yeah, but that doesn't
prove Louise supplied them.

Yeah, it wouldn't if
I wasn't 100% sure

she bought the drugs
in the first place.

I had CCTV footage
of her doing it.

So, Louise is the reason you got
yourself transferred to Port Devine?

I needed to keep tabs on her.

It was a bit more than that.

Jo's lucky I didn't report her for
running an unauthorised operation.

OK, look. I promised the Inspector
that I would have nothing to do with

Louise Halbridge, so, whatever
you're investigating today,

I don't want to know.

Oh, you read my
mind! I was wondering

when you'd stick the kettle on.
Oh, Concepta's coffee is the pits!

I wouldn't inflict
this on anyone.

Well, I bought that.
For the guests.

So, when am I going
to meet the kids?

Finn suggested we meet him
at The Commodore about seven?

Is that that dump, down on the
seafront? Is that still there?

It certainly is.

And the couple that used
to have it, the Devines?

Oh, they're dead years.

Their daughter,
Nicole, has it now.

Is she away with the
fairies, like her mother was?

She's a lovely girl, actually.

So, I take it you've
changed your mind, then?

Sorry?

What you said to Finn
in Fort Lauderdale.

That you weren't interested
in getting to know him.

I didn't quite say that.

Finn forgot to
turn his phone off.

I heard every word.

What's your point?

Finding out that Concepta
isn't his birth mother,

that's really
knocked Finn for six.

I just don't want him
getting hurt anymore.

And you think that's
what I came here to do?

Of course not! I just want
you to be more careful.

Guard his heart.

Well, the next guests should
be arriving around six.

Lovely couple. If you could let
them in, that would be great.

See you later. Uh-huh.

Hey, erm...

Sorry about... You know.

About what?

Your wedding? Oh.
Or not wedding.

Don't they say it's good
to talk about these things?

How long have you
been with us now, Cub?

Just over three months. And in
that time, have I ever struck

you as the kind of person who gets
off talking about their feelings?

No, Sarge. I don't
suppose you have.

No, so, there you have it, then.

KNOCKS ON GLASS

Can I help you?

Ms Halbridge, have you seen
your son Matthew recently?

Not for a few weeks. He lives in
Belfast, with his father. Why?

There was an incident on
the promenade this morning.

A young lad fled the scene.

He left his jacket behind.
Your son's ID was in it.

Matthew's here? In
Port Devine? Mm-hm.

You definitely haven't seen him?

I said, didn't I?

OK.

Well, if you do,
can you let us know?

Of course.

Could you give us
Matthew's number, please?

Yeah, no problem.

Is he in some sort of trouble?

Well, that's what we're
trying to find out.

So, if you do see Matthew,
let us know, immediately.

I need a tie for the
court appearance.

Can I nip upstairs, or have you
got a strange man in your room?

I picked some out
for you earlier.

I was going to run them over
to you, but I've been busy.

You certainly have.

Running this place,
by myself. Oh?

Can't lover-boy pour a pint?

There is no lover-boy!
It was a one-off.

Do you know who it is?

Don't drag me into
whatever this is.

So she does, then. Oh,
for goodness' sake!

I could get a custodial
sentence today.

I'm praying that you don't.

Surely, it'll suit you
down to the ground.

You'd be free to enjoy yourself.

I still can't believe
you confessed.

He wanted me to put my
wedding rings back on.

I had to explain to
him why I couldn't.

Promise me you're not planning
on telling him it was Callum.

Of course I'm not. Do
you think I'm on glue?!

Good luck today,
mate. Yeah, cheers.

Erm, can I ask you something?

You haven't seen
any fellas hanging

around my Nicole in the
last few weeks, like?

Who, me? No! Definitely not.

Why, what's up? She's done the
dirty on me with another fella. No!

Whoever he is, better hope I
get a custodial sentence cos

if I don't, I'm going to hunt him
down and I'm going to k*ll him!

Well, this other man...

What? I wouldn't want to be in his
shoes when Clint gets hold of him.

I tried calling that Dara, but the
number he gave us doesn't exist.

Why do people always have
to lie to the police?

I also think he gave us

a false name cause I can't find
anything on any of the databases.

Well, maybe Shay was right about
this other kid being the victim.

Let's try tracing
this Dara's car.

His registration is...

FBZ



Cheers, Cub.

Why did you lie to the
police? Get on with your work!

You said you haven't
seen your son in weeks.

He's here. Now.

He's not.

I've seen him.

Heard him call you "mum".
Look, Niamh, it's complicated.

Tell me why I shouldn't tell my
dad. Because Matthew is in trouble!

He fell in with a g*ng of lads.
All great fun to begin with

and then they manipulated
him into dealing drugs.

Well, did you try to... To
talk him out of it? Of course!

But I'm his mother. He doesn't
listen to a word I say.

Matthew cut me out of
his life completely.

Until today.

Niamh, he's come
to ask for my help.

Can you give me some
space to try to do that?

BANGING AT DOOR

Where is he? Hello, Dara.
I know Matthew's here.

I need to see him. What's
wrong with your arm?

Are you deaf?! Where's
Matthew? I'm right here!

Is that a g*n?

I'm not giving it back.

Why the hell not?

This is my way out.

If they want the g*n back,
they have to let me go.

I can't believe
you're doing this.

Of all people. Just
give me the g*n.

I told you. No!

g*nsh*t Matthew!

You could have k*lled someone!

Don't say I didn't warn you.

What's he going to do?

He's...

going to tell them that I
won't give the g*n back.

And what will they do?

I don't know.

k*ll me?

We've got to get out
of here. Come on.

And for goodness' sake,
hide that thing away!

Hurry up and get in the car.

This is mad. Where're you going?

You think I'm going
to tell you that?

Please...

be careful.

GLASS SMASHES

Hey, Sarge. Mm-hm?

That car has reg paid off.

I've got an ID on the young lad.

His first name's
Dara, like he told us.

But his surname is O'Driscoll.

Dara O'Driscoll? Do
you have a photo?

Yeah. What's your
interest in him?

Well, he was involved
in the incident earlier.

Shay reckoned that he attacked
Louise Halbridge's son.

Why? Do you know him?

Yeah, I've come across him in
the course of my enquiries.

Niamh just called. A firearm has
been discharged at the Kids' Home.

What? Is anyone
hurt? Thank God, no.

Marlene, Ryan, come with
me. So who fired the g*n?

Louise Halbridge's son? Matthew?

Yeah, then some other wee lad
showed up, demanding the g*n back.

That must be Dara O'Driscoll. Do you
want me and Callum to look for Dara?

I know him from Belfast. Great.
Thank you. Come on, let's go.

Hey, Finn! I just thought I'd
come to see my son at work.

Assumpta, it's a really,
really, really, bad time.

SIRENS

Well, well, well.

Barry Pettigrew.

In the flesh!

SIRENS

You all right, love?

I'm fine.

All right, put her
down, constable.

You sure? Totally. The
b*llet went into the floor.

Where's the g*n?

Matthew took it with him.

I've been so worried. So, where
are the kids who live here?

They went to the beach. Won't
be back till the end of the day.

Any idea where Louise
might have headed?

No. But I dropped
my phone in her car.

You did what?! Clever girl.

I can track it on my phone.

I don't know whether to congratulate
you for being incredibly

clever, or tell you off for
putting yourself in danger.

Her dad's a police officer. So
it was bound to rub off, right?

You're telling me
that, after 45 years,

you suddenly decided to
make things right with Finn?

Why do you find that
so hard to believe?

Because I know you
of old, Assumpta.

The only person you
care about's yourself.

Same old Barry, huh?

So little faith in human nature.

Do you really think it's wise?

To show your face
around Port Devine?

Why?

Given the circumstances
of your departure.

Aren't you scared of reprisals?

Give over.

All that was before Moses
was found in his basket.

Nobody cares anymore.

Well, for your sake,
I hope you're right.

I've got a location.
They're heading south.

Marlene, could you keep the
Armed Response guys in the loop?

And make sure Niamh gets
home for me, will you? Mm-hm.

Er, I'm meant to be working.

Maybe you should listen
to the Inspector.

What if one of them
comes back, with a g*n?

OK. I'll go home. Yeah.

Cub! Get in my car.

So, true love, is it?

Something like that!

He's a good spud. You
could do a lot worse.

What did you say Dara was
driving? Blue hatchback. Why?

Because there's one over there.

Hey!

Well, Dara, what are you
doing in Port Devine?

Down here on holiday.

A working holiday, by
the looks of things.

Dara O'Driscoll, I'm arresting
you for the possession

and supply of ill*gal drugs.
You don't have to say anything.

Anything you do say may
be given in evidence.

Come on, then.

Where is she?

Nicole! Someone to see you!

Clint?

You OK?

I got community service.

Does that mean
that you'll have to

sweep the streets and wear
one of those orange jumpsuits?

Because those are a
crime, in themselves.

I'm glad you're out.

Me, too. Feel like I've
been given a second chance.

Well, that's a good
thing, isn't it?

I need to know.

Who was it? Oh, Clint...
What difference does it make?

If I knew who it was...

if I had the whole picture and

I knew you were never going to
see him again... I can assure you

I will never see him
again, in that way.

So, you will see him again.

So, it's someone
from Port Devine.

Is it one of the regulars?

I can't tell you that,
Clint. So, it is, then!

Ask all you like.
I will never say.

Suit yourself.

I'm away to enjoy my
new-found freedom.

Well, according to this,
they should be here.

Well, there's no sign.

I'll give Niamh's number a call.

MOBILE RINGING NEARBY

Looks like Louise
has rumbled us.

Great

Feeling better?

I need you to let me go.

Who are you afraid of, Dara?

Who have you got
yourself mixed up with?

Well, the last time we met,

you were pushing pills
for the Brazier brothers.

Don't tell me that you're
still working for them.

Have you not listened
to a word I've said?

It's not like I've
had a lot of choice!

Fancy having a face that handsome
and looking so miserable.

This is the face of a man
whose wife just cheated on him,

so I'm stuck with
it, unfortunately.

Any woman who cheats on
you would have to be mad.

I've got a bit of time to k*ll,
if you want to talk about it.

The tech team found
this on Dara's phone.

I thought you might want to see
it. Yeah. You thought right.

Thanks, Marlene. Any time.

DOOR BUZZER AND CLICK

So, this altercation you had with
Matthew Halbridge this morning.

Lover's tiff, was it?

How long has this
being going on?

About a year.

Does Louise know?

Yeah. She caught me
and Matthew together.

Went mad.

Good old Louise

She was just shocked, surprised.

She didn't know me and Matthew
were seeing each other,

so she over-reacted.

She felt really bad afterwards.

That's why she did what
she did. For Matthew.

What do you mean? What
did Louise do for Matthew?

When Kerry stopped breathing,
Matthew freaked out.

He... he called his mum.
Begged her to sort it out.

No, but it was Louise was the one
who supplied Kerry with the drugs.

The drugs that k*lled
her. Louise hates drugs.

{\an8}Yeah, so she says.

{\an8}But her car was caught on CCTV,
time and again, on Abbeyford Road.

{\an8}There's only one reason why people
go there, it's to buy drugs.

But it wasn't Louise
driving. It was Matthew.

So, you stole a bit of
copper piping. So what?

Unfortunately, my wife
doesn't see it that way.

Well, she sounds
like a piece of work.

All that drama over nothing and then
she uses it as an excuse to cheat.

People say men can't keep their
pants on. I think women are worse.

You take my best mate. You
could not knit a better husband.

But his missus was doing the
kid's PE teacher behind his back.

And then by the time
he got over that,

she went for his colleague
at the police station.

The police station? Mm.

This friend of yours...

It's not Finn O'Hare?

You know Finn? Know him?
I gave birth to him.

You're...

Assumpta!

I can't believe Miss
Holier-Than-Thou Siobhan

cheated on him. Twice.

I shouldn't have said anything.

Assumpta, I thought
you were a tourist!

Oh, you can trust me.

When it comes to
keeping a secret,

I'm like a wee nun.

Tell me about these
Brazier Brothers.

The g*n that Matthew's got,
does it belong to them?

They gave it to
him to hold on to.

Matthew freaked out,
got the bus down here.

The brothers, they ordered
me to get the g*n back.

This g*n, was it used in
a sh**ting? Up in Belfast?

Young guy ended up in hospital.

So, why hand the g*n to Matthew?

In case the cops came calling.

Problem is, Matthew
won't give it back. Why?

He seems to think it's
his way out of the g*ng.

And do the Brazier
Brothers know this,

that he's refusing
to give the g*n back?

Yeah.

I had to tell them. That's
why I was trying to sell

those pills, get some cash
together, to get away.

The brothers said they'd k*ll
Matthew and then they'd come for me.

Dara, do you know where Matthew
and Louise have gone to?

I might have an idea.

Where was that taken?
Some mates of Louise's.

They have a caravan.
It's not far from here.

There are loads of photographs of
the caravan on Matthew's socials.

So, I mean, if we've
worked out where it is,

the Belfast g*ng could
do the same thing.

Well we'd better
get a move on, then.

I'll let Finn know that you'll
meet him up there. Yeah.

And I'll update Armed Response.
Thanks, Sarge. No worries.

Erm, the few bits
you left at mine.

Ashley, can we
erm... Can we talk?

I miss you.

The time for talking was
before we got to the church.

OK. Where do we start?

Look for Louise's car?

There it is.

What do you want to do?

I'm going to ask her very
nicely to step outside.

You sure about that?
They've got a firearm.

Look, before all this mess,
Louise and I were good friends.

She's not going to hurt me.

I hope you're right about that.

The thing is, I really
like your daughter.

And I think she really likes me.

What are these two doing?

Call in that reg.

"It's registered
to a Ricky Brazier.

"Notorious drug dealer."

Thanks, Sarge.

Do you think they're
looking for Matthew?

I think they definitely are.

Right, have a wee
word with them.

Matthew?

Louise, it's Jo.

Can you open the door?

Stop! Police! Stop! Hey!

You have it your way.

The Armed Response Unit are on the
way. Those boys don't mess around.

MOBILE RINGS

Boss?

We've arrested the Brazier
Brothers. Come on, get in the car.

Oh, they're going
away for a long time.

That was the Inspector.
He's arrested the Braziers.

Did you hear that, Louise?
We've got the Brazier Brothers.

Yeah, they're going to jail!

How can I believe you?

Louise?

I'm sorry.

I know the truth about
what happened to Kerry.

I know that you weren't
there when she died.

You were just
protecting Matthew.

I am sorry I misjudged you.

I got it all wrong.

OK!

Hand the g*n out, Louise?

Point it down!

Lay it on the ground.

OK.

Is Matthew OK?

Come on, son.

Matthew. Long time, no see.

You do know I'm going to have
to arrest the both of you?

Of course you do.

Louise Halbridge...

I'm arresting you on suspicion
of assisting an offender

and perverting the
course of justice...

This place hasn't
changed one bit.

Hasn't it? When
were you last here?





I'm Finn O'Hare's birth mother.

And you must be Nicole Devine,

because you're the spit
of your beautiful mother.

You knew my mummy?

And your daddy, too.
Such a handsome man.

He was!

I'm here to meet my
long lost grandchildren

and I might need you to hold my
hand and maybe introduce me to them

because I think I might
get a bit emotional.

Well, of course. Now,
what can I get for you?

Well, you're so generous.

Do you know? I think I would
love a wee glass of bubbly.

Taylor? Can you get Assumpta
a glass of champagne, please?

On the house.

You're too kind. Just like
your dear dead mother.

Oh, here they are now!

This is Shay. And
this is Niamh.

Say hello to your
new granny, kids.

Hi. Hi. Well, granny is
more my sister's style.

You can call me Assumpta.

You're nothing like Concepta.

Well, I'll take that
as a compliment!

Those people were meant to be
booking into Concepta's B&B.

But they say there was
no-one there to let them in.

Oh, the poor lost souls!

I thought you were
going to let them in.

Was I? Ah...

Well, I'll have to go
and butter them up.

Or you've just cost us £100
for not opening the door.

I am so sorry...

£100...

For doing nothing.

When I found out about
Matthew and Dara, I freaked.

I handled the whole
thing really badly.

And that's why I had to help
Matthew when Kerry died.

And did he thank you for it?

No.

He's a teenager. As far as
he was concerned, I owed him.

Before I knew what
was happening,

Matthew had been sucked
right into the g*ng.

He wouldn't even speak to me.

Until today?

Yeah.

If you'd just told me
the truth about Kerry.

Yeah, it would have been a mess, but
nowhere near as bad as all of this.

I know that now.

I'm sorry.

SHE SOBS

Jo.

I presume you'll be
going back to Belfast?

There's nothing to keep
you in Port Devine.

You think?

Look the day that Louise
caught us kissing,

she threatened to report us.

I knew that you couldn't stand
Marlene finding out about us, so...

So, that's why you
finished with me?

Now that, erm, Louise
is out of the picture...

DOOR OPENS

The Inspector wants
a debrief. OK.

Siobhan, a word, please.

I can take charge of the
bookings at the B&B, if you like.

A busy GP, it's crazy you taking
on all that extra responsibility.

Actually, that would
be amazing. Thank you.

I'll just need you to carry on
with the laundry for a wee while,

till I get the hang of Concepta's
prehistoric washing machine.

They're sending a relief
Manager to the Residential Home.

What if they don't keep me on?

I don't know why you're
still working there.

Would you not rather
focus on your studies?

I enjoy working there. It
gives me some independence.

And I don't like
sponging off mum and dad.

Well, maybe you won't have
to, if you move into my place.

What, are you serious?

Maybe you don't feel
the same, way, but...

I think we're ready.

No...

I do feel the same.

Christ...

Just forget it.
It's a daft idea.

Look, shut up, Ryan.
I... I'd love to move in.

Yeah?

That's brilliant!

I won't charge you anything.

And you can get on the phone

with the Kids Home and tell
them where to stick that job.

Hey.

Do you want a drink? Er,
pints all round, yeah? Yeah.

All right. Cheers, Callum.

Hello, Callum. Three
pints please, Nicole.

Erm, I heard Clint
got Community Service.

Does that mean you and him
might get back together?

I'm working on it.

Pint. Well, there he is.

The handsome man.

And there she is.
My wife the cheat.

What, wait, you're
married to Nicole Devine?

That's who cheated
on you? That's her.

I was just thinking.

Her and that fella are
as thick as thieves.

Callum?

It's not Callum.

Table five's ready to order.

Is it Callum that
slept with Nicole?

Hey, boy...

I'm going to give you one
chance to tell me the truth.

Did you sleep with Nicole?

It was just the once.

There'll be no violence!
Not in my name!

Do you want to step outside? Look,
I'm sorry, Clint. It meant nothing.

You'd better watch
your back, son!

Cos if I get my hands on
you, I'm going to k*ll you!

As for you, Jezebel...

I don't want you no
more. He can have you.

Clint!

I don't believe it.

Of all people, Nicole Devine?

Don't you?

From what I hear, you haven't
exactly been faithful to my Finn.

Nicole! Darling, I can't imagine
what you must be going through.

Are you OK? What happened to Jo?

Erm, she said she had to go.

Something about putting
in for a transfer.

We three girls should
organise a big night out.

Help Nicole take her
mind off her troubles.

You want to go clubbing?

Oh, you should see me in Fort
Lauderdale! I'm at it all the time.

You're really nothing
like Concepta.

Oh, well, I should hope not!

When I go dancing with my daughter,
everyone thinks we're sisters.

Your daughter?!

I'm sorry, Finn has a sister?

Well, if that's what he
would like to call her?

You never said.
You never asked.

How old? Oh, she's about a year
and a half younger than you.

So you gave me away
and you kept her, yeah?

Hey, Finn...

Hey, Finn, Finn...

Hey... What's going on?

Hey...

Why did I even track
that woman down?

Because you needed to
know what she was like.

Well, now I know.

She's a nasty piece of work.

The sooner she leaves
Port Devine, the better.

You coming back here
was one big mistake!

I hope you bought
a return ticket!

This was my home,

until I was driven out of it.

I'm going nowhere.
