SEABIRDS CRY

SIRENS

He's got a hammer.

Ryan, go round the back.

Yep.

Police!

Police!

Stay where you are.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Don't even think about it.

Put the hammer down.

All right, Ryan.
OK.

Dex Turkington?
What on earth are you up to?

No comment.

Dex Turkington, I'm arresting
you on suspicion of burglary.

You don't have to say anything

but I must caution you, if you don't
mention when questioned something

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

You got him, then?

Oh, aye.

I'm Ryan Parr.

Brandi with an "I".

So how did Dex get in?

I reckon he must have sneaked
in the back door

when I wasn't looking.

I came through here and he was
attacking the safe with a hammer.

I told him to give over
or I'd call the police.

He said do what I want.

Apparently, what's
in it is rightfully his.

Sorry.

That's when I called you.

So have you ever seen Dex before,
then?

Once, twice, maybe.

I haven't really worked here long.

But I reckon he was here to see

Sandra, the owner.

Who, by the way, has disappeared
off the face of the earth.

She hasn't answered her phone
since yesterday afternoon.

Haven't you heard?

What?

Sandra's been arrested.

OK? Yeah.

Thank you.

Uh, Callum and Ryan are on a
call-out to the Sheep And Lamb.

Sandra Coughlan's pub, the morning
after she was arrested?

That cannot be a coincidence.

My thoughts exactly.

I just spoke with the
Serious Crime team in Belfast.

Sandra said nothing.

So we still don't know what else
she's been up to?

No.

But we'll find out.

Yeah.

I, um, found my friendship bracelet.

Takes me back,

seeing you wearing that.

The Three Musketeers.

The three witches,
more like.

I still miss her.

Shelley.

Me too.

Do you think there's any
chance she's still alive?

Look, just because I miss
her doesn't mean

I've changed my mind.

Shelley's dead.

End of.

So Sandra had the local GP
abducted?

That's mad.

Tell me about it.

Who's going to run this place?

MC Hammer there claims he hasn't
committed a crime.

He was only here to retrieve
his own property.

Told ya.

What sort of property?

He won't say.
He'll only say it's in the safe.

That's not very helpful.

Any idea where Sandra keeps
the keys?

I'm just the hired eye candy.

OK, well, if you do find
them, give us a shout.

I don't even know if I work
here any more.

So what are you going to do?

I guess I'm going to have to find
another job.

Nicole Devine-Dunwoody at The
Commodore, she's looking for staff.

You know what they could do with
behind the bar?

Some eye candy.

What is all this?

A whole new digital package, Baz.

Movies. Sports.

You name it, we've got it.

Everything but peace and quiet,
eh?

My wonderful wife arranged the whole
thing when I was out

at the Cash and Carry.

Don't sound so surprised.

Honestly, Barry.

He thinks I'm a total incompetent.

Ah. Thanks.

Yes, love?

I don't suppose you happened to see
Callum or Jo on your travels

this morning?
Well, I've seen Callum,

getting a breakfast bap at
McNulty's.

And how was he?

He was the same as he ever is.

And Jo?

Well, now, I won't have
seen her, will I?

Seeing as she high-tailed it
to Belfast last night

to start her new job.

And you know this for a fact?

Well, Lois Dunlop spied her
driving out of town.

Why? Oh...

..no reason.

Could you be any more obvious?

I need to know.

Listen, if Jo's told Callum he might
be the father of your baby,

you'll know soon as he
walks through that door.

The guy's face is an open book.

Is everything all right, Nicole?

Tickety-boo, Barry.
Never been better.

PHONE RINGS

Yes, Assumpta.

Er, well, are you ready
to go now?

No, no, OK, I-I'll...

..I'll be right with you. Yeah.

Are you driving Assumpta to
the hospital again?

I most certainly am.

Well, how IS Aidan?

Well, I haven't seen him.

But Assumpta says he's expected
to make a full recovery.

Worse luck.

All we're getting from
Dex is "no comment".

Well, who is this lad?
What do we know about him?

Dex Turkington? He's lived in
Port Devine all his life.

Went to school with one of
my brothers.

He hasn't got a criminal record.

Instals TVs and digiboxes
for a living.

Oh, aye, he's just upgraded
the sports and entertainment

package at The Commodore.

Nicole arranged it as a
surprise for Clint.

Unbelievable bargain, apparently.

You know what they say about things
that are too good to be true.

I brought someone to see you.

Well, well, well, if it isn't
ex-Police Inspector Pettigrew.

Ah, you're looking
disappointingly well.

What can I say? Somebody up there
must be looking after me.

As far as I can see, it's Assumpta
here who's doing all the

looking after.
She's gone way beyond the call.

Why wouldn't she? Haven't you
told him yet, darling?

We're in love.

Hello, love. How can I help you?

I was hoping I could help YOU.

Oh, er, er, yes?

Clint? Er, er,
Ryan and Callum are here!

Hello again.
I took your advice.

What advice was that?

Well, I need a job.

Bar work.

Ryan here said you were
looking for someone.

Brandi's the top barmaid at
The Sheep And Lamb.

Ah, and now Sandra Colgan's
been arrested.

So, I really need a job.

How can I help yous, officers?

Do you know a Dex Turkington?

Dex? Yes, he's just
installed our digibox.

Yeah, Marlene says he gave you
a really good deal.

Well, we got a substantial
discount for paying cash.

Sorry? You paid for
streaming services with cash?

You never told me that!

Is that not normal?

Sounds like you got an ill*gal box.

Well, Dex said it was a
special offer!

Does this make me a criminal?!

As if.
You're the victim here.

Right, we're going to have
to take your Digibox - as evidence.

Ryan, can you do the honours?

What about all the sports
I promised the punters?

See if I did this, you'd be raging!

So, did Jo get off to Belfast OK?

She did. Yeah.

That's good.
That's, that's good.

All done.

I'll drop a receipt in for this.

Ryan, let's go!

So, do you think Callum knows?
I've no idea. Knows about what?

Sorry. That is clearly
none of my business.

Who are you? Brandi.

With an "I".

Your lovely wife was
about to give me a job.

Was she indeed?
Yes. Please.

I really need the money.
I have these horrendous debts.

All right, you can do an
evening's trial.

We'll see you at six.

So, what did St Barry have to
say? "Aidan Hunter's the devil -

"run a mile"?

Hmm, something like that.

Thank goodness you're a woman
who knows her own mind.

It's one of the things I've
always loved about you.

ALERT FROM PHONE

"Get well soon." What did they think
was wrong with me, man flu?

I was in a coma.

What's wrong?

Urgent business sort of thing.

Nothing I can't sort out.

Just not from this hospital bed.

What on earth are you doing?!

I'm getting out of here.

Can you help me find my clothes?

Where do you get the
Digiboxes from, Dex?

Fella I know up in Belfast.

Can't remember his name.

So, tell us how it works.

The customers pay cash for the box
and a monthly charge for the

content. Also in cash?

That's right. Mm-hm.

And what do you pay for the content?

I mean, presumably you're stealing
it.

You must be raking it in.

Now that we know what you've been
up to, why don't you do yourself

a favour and tell us what you were
trying to get out of the safe

at the Sheep And Lamb?

What's Sandra Colgan saying?

We're asking the questions, Dex.

Right.
So, she's not saying anything.

In that case, neither am I.

We found this in Dex's flat.
It's full of invoices.

Loads of them are addressed to
Sandra Colgan, in her

capacity as landlady of
The Sheep And Lamb pub.

You wouldn't believe the work
he's been doing for her,

according to these invoices.

TV services, electrical work,
internet issues.

Gardening?

I didn't know that pub had a garden.

It doesn't.
The whole thing's a scam.


issues. That is way over the odds.

Yeah, it's a smokescreen.

To hide what she's been
doing for him.

And what's that?

Sounds to me like Sandra's
been laundering cash.

Good morning, Inspector.

Detective Constable.

Luke Jackson.
I'm with Serious Crime in Belfast.

How are you?
Sergeant Marlene Pettigrew.

Er, this is
Constable Callum McCarthy.

And you've already met PC Power.

Serious Crime? Does that mean
you'll be working with Jo Lipton?

Yeah. Looking forward to it.

I think she starts on Monday.

Yes. She does.

So, has your team been dealing
with Sandra Colgan, then?

We interviewed her last night
and again this morning but she's

not giving us much.

So, I thought I'd pop down here
and have a dig around.

You could have tipped us off.

And spoil the surprise?

So, do you guys know
each other, then?

Something like that.
Erm...

..why don't we have a chat -

in my office?

Good to meet you all.

Did you guys see that?

When I was leading your man in,

he said she wouldn't be pleased
to see him.

She had a face like thunder.

Why are you really here?

I told you.

I'm following up the
Sandra Colgan enquiry.

Not checking up on me?

You have a very low
opinion of me.

Mm-hm.

So, what do you reckon to the idea
that she's been laundering money?

It makes a lot of sense.

And how do we confirm that?

We get someone to open the
safe in Sandra's pub.

OK.

You mind if I take a look?

Be my guest.

PC Power'll run you up there.

Oh, and, er, who am I?

You know, to you,
in case anyone asks.

A colleague. I've only just started.

The last thing I need is everyone
knowing my private business.

So, I'm your dirty little secret?
Why does that turn me on?

Because you are terminally immature.
Come here...

Oi! What's eating you?

It's that hellion Aidan Hunter.

What about him?

He's declared his undying
love for Assumpta.

Oh? Oh! Have you got a wee
notion of her yourself, aye?

No, I don't.

But I'm worried about her.

I need to know what Hunter's up to.

He claims he is totally reformed.

On the straight and narrow.

Hunter owns a boat, houses,
all sorts of cars.

Where's he getting the
money for all that?

It's a good question.

But until there is concrete
evidence of him breaking the law,

there's nothing I can do.

Hang on a minute.
I recognise that girl.

Pull over.

Excuse me, love.

Do you work behind the bar
at the Sheep And Lamb?

Used to.
Till the landlady got arrested.

Sandra got arrested?
Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, this is lunacy.

You should be in hospital.

Look, I just have to
sort this bit of business

and then I'll take it easy,
I promise.

What's your name, love?

Brandi.

With an "I".

Do you know what Sandra
was arrested for?

The police mentioned
something about abduction.

Apparently, she paid two fellas
to lift the local GP.

You spoke to the police?

Yeah. This morning.

After that fella tried to break
into the safe in the pub.

Someone tried to break
into the safe?!

Yeah.
Dex, I think you call him.

Attacked it with a hammer.

Did he manage to get it open?

Nah. He just made a few dents.

Listen, Brandi,

how'd you like to earn
yourself some money?

How much money?

I don't know.
How does £1,000 sound?

How are you and Eve getting along?

Work-wise, yeah, fine.

But?

She's got it in her head that
Shelley could be alive.

Shelley? Well, I suppose
it's possible.

That poor girl's body
was never found.

Yeah, but...

..she was a teenager.

You know? She walked off that
night, she was never seen again.

I'm sorry, Barry,
but Shelley's dead.

Well, why would Eve think different?

Do you remember the three of us
making those friendship bracelets?

Will I ever forget?

Well, a few weeks ago, Eve got
Shelley's bracelet in the post.

From who?
Shelley, supposedly.

Oh, come on - anybody
could have sent it.

Right, I better get back to it.

Oh, erm, are you still
going out fishing?

A bit later on. Why?

Just you know, if you catch a couple
of mackerel,

I was going to make us our tea.

I will hold you to that.

See you later.

See your man Dex hasn't made
much of an impression on it.

This place hasn't had a lick of
paint in years and yet

that safe is new.
What does that tell you?

What, that serving beer and crisps
to a bunch of old farmers isn't

the priority here?

Two keyholes suggest two keys.

Maybe the lovely Sandra has a
partner in crime.

Hmm.

So, you and the new Inspector,
yous known each other long?

A few years, yeah.

What's your first impressions?
RYAN LAUGHS

I-I couldn't say.

Busting your ba*ls, is she?

Put it this way, I'd hate to
be Mr Dunlop.

CHUCKLES

I hear you, lad.

Loud and clear.

CLICK

Sh.

Brandi?

Ryan?!

What are you doing back here?!

A man offered me £1,000 if
I gave him Sandra's key to the safe.

So...

..you know where Sandra
keeps her safe key.

Who's he?

This is
Detective Constable Luke Jackson.

Do you know where the key is?

My da says I should never tell
the police anything.

Sandra hangs it on a hook.

In the stock cupboard.

Well, it turns.

This door's not budging.

Because you need both keys.

The man who promised you
£1,000 - describe him to me.

CLEARS THROAT

You OK, Cal?
Never better.

Only you keep checking your phone.

Jo is ghosting me.

Why would Jo do that?

Before she left for Belfast,
she told me she thinks Nicole's

having my baby.

And she's convinced that,
if it is mine, I won't move to

Belfast, I'll stay here
in Port Devine.

And, erm, how do you
feel about that?

Confused.

And you don't seem very surprised
that your best friend's pregnant.

Nicole made me swear not
to tell anyone.

So much for us being mates.

Detective Constable Jackson
just called.

He's trying to ID a suspect.

Er, Caucasian male.



Whispering voice, whatever
that means.

Apparently, Ryan thinks it
could be Aidan Hunter.

Yeah.

Whatever this is.

You and me.

You mean the fact that I love you?

Do you have to keep saying that?

PHONE RINGS

Brandi.

Good girl.

You stay where you are.
I'll get there as quick as I can.

Bye.

Where on earth are you off to now?

I told you.

One last piece of business.

Once this is sorted,
you and I will be set for life.

I thought you were showing
the golf this afternoon.

There's been a erm...

..technical hitch. Oh?

These are some of
my old journals

from when I was in the force.

Do you know, I kept all the notes
I made from every significant

investigation.

So what investigation is this?

Would you remember a young girl
who suddenly went missing,

called Shelley?

How could I forget? If it wasn't
for Shelley going missing,

Marlene and I never would
have become friends.

Hey, let me show you what I found
when I was hoking these things out.

Oh! How cute is that?!

Clint! Come and see this.

This is when she was obsessed
with the PE teacher.

Sure, she was always obsessed
with Miss Matthews.

Thank goodness Marlene
grew into her looks, eh?

PHONE RINGS

Oh! What does that crazy woman
want now?

Yes, Assumpta?

Uh-huh. What, again?

No, no, listen, I'm going
fishing this afternoon.

No, just stay where you are.
I'll pick you up in five minutes,

all right? OK, bye.

Assumpta needs an urgent lift.

Could I leave these with you?

And would you give them to Marlene
or to Eve if they pop in here

before I get back?
Of course, Barry.

I wish we could tell
Barry about the baby.

We will.

And he'll be delighted for you.

And you, Daddy.

IF I am the daddy.

Thanks, big man.

Do you have it?

Not out here.

No way, pal.

Well? Where is it?

I need the cash you promised me.

The cash is in the safe.

Give me your key and you'll
get your £1,000.

How do I know I can trust you?

You say that like you have a choice.

Oh, I think she does.

Who the hell are you?

He's my boyfriend.

And if you mess with me,
he'll make you sorry.

Lay a finger on me and my driver
will make YOU sorry.

At least we know where we all stand.

Give me the key, then.

You show us yours
and we'll show you ours.

Right.

Let's get this safe open
and you can have your cash.

Sounds like a plan.

After you.

Thank you.

At last.

I want my money.

And you'll get it.

What's in the other envelopes?

What's in those is none of
your business.

A grand in your hand,
as promised.

Do you mind telling me what we're
doing at this dive?

Well, I heard Aidan telling his
driver to take him here.

That's not answering my question.

Stay here.
As if!

What are you two doing here?

I need to know what's going on.

Where's my driver?

Why don't you answer
the lady's question?

I will, when we get back to yours.

You don't mind giving us a
lift, do you, Barry?

Hey!

HEY!

We're not going anywhere
until I know what you've been

playing at in there.

Why don't you tell the lady
the truth, Aidan?

Why don't you mind your
own business?

Detective Constable Jackson.

This is very much my business.

You must be kidding me.

Don't even think about it.

I knew you were lying.

So much
for you going straight!

Assumpta, will you just
take it easy?

The best thing I ever did in my
whole life was grass you up!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Leave him,
it's OK. That's enough. Come on.

Hand over the notebook.

And the cash.

Aidan Hunter, I'm arresting you on
suspicion of money laundering.

You do not 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.

Let's book him.
Put him in the car.

Don't suppose I get to keep
the £1,000.

Sorry.

I thought, for a moment,
we might have had a future.

Come on.

Well, that's quite a result.

Major money-laundering op shut down
on your second day in the job.

Indeed.

So why don't you look a bit
more happy about it?

Hmm? Something to do with
the input from CID?

He's a law onto himself, that man.

Oh? Have you and the Detective
Constable crossed swords before?

Once or twice.

What's in the book, Aidan?

I don't know exactly.

I don't.

It was Sandra's.

Every time she received
any money or paid any out,

she noted it down in that book.

And I told her not to.

So, you two were
working in partnership?

You know we were.

That's why we both had
a key to the safe.

Just charge me.

Don't worry... we will.

Oh, do you need to see a doctor?

No.

Why?

You are just out of the hospital.

I heard you fell off a cliff.

I didn't exactly fall.

Are you insinuating that
Inspector O'Hare pushed you?

I have nothing to say about it.

The word is you threatened
Inspector O'Hare's son.

Your own grandson.

I was trying to help my other son.

Oh, yes. Declan.

Where is he now?

You know where he is. That's right.
We do.

He's in prison.

Tell you what, Mr Hunter...

..we'll put in a good word for
you...

..see if they'll let you
and Declan share a cell.

CHUCKLES
You only getting out now?

Yeah, I got held up over something.

Ah, to do with that Assumpta,
no doubt.

What is she thinking of cosying up
with Aidan Hunter?

Especially after what
he did to Finn.

Assumpta has learned her
lesson about hunter... the hard way.

So, when you see her now,
you go easy.

All right. I hear you.

Aren't we blessed, hmm?

Living here.

Aye. It's not too shabby, is it,
Barry?

Here, enjoy your fishing.

Aye, you know me.

Never happier
but when on the open water.

Er, Ryan.

Yes, Sarge?

When you were out with Detective
Constable Jackson this afternoon,

did you, er, find out any more about
his history with the Inspector?

Yeah, only that he thinks she's
a total ball buster.

THEY CHUCKLE

Yeah, that's interesting.

Why?

I am so dead!

How come?

You're joking.

KNOCK AT DOOR
Come in!

SHE CLEARS THROAT

So, er...

..when were you going to tell me?

That Luke is my husband? I wasn't.

Not today anyway.

So much for us working together.

It's not about you, Marlene.

It's...

It's about me, my marriage.

That whole Aidan Hunter thing,
it's what Luke does.

What do you mean?

Yeah, he just sweeps in,
sorts everything out.

Oh, grabs the glory?

Yeah. Something like that.

I mean, don't get me wrong,
I love Luke.

You couldn't ask for a man who's
more affectionate or supportive.

But this is my first
inspector's gig.

I just wanted to make it on my own.

Yeah, I can understand that.

So, you were, er, checking up on me?

Well, uh...

I was just trying to work
out what might have triggered

someone to send you
Shelley's bracelet.

So, that photo of you and Luke,
you were receiving a commendation.

Yeah, I was.

And got your picture in the paper.

Yeah, and the local TV...

..news...

So, I think it's a
possibility that someone saw this.

Someone who
doesn't like you very much.

Look, none of this convinces me
that Shelley is alive.

But? But...

..it does indicate that someone out
there feels

that Shelley's disappearance
is unfinished business.

So, you got the job?

Trial shift.

Smart wee cookie like you.

You'll ace it.
I hope you're right.

Got credit card debts to pay off.

And how have you
enjoyed your time in Port Devine?

Yeah, it's been great.

It's not the first time
I've been here

and it certainly won't be the last.

I want a word with him.

I'm a good judge of people.

There's no way Callum
knows about the baby.

I just hope you're right.

So, you think it's funny, do you?

What?

We know you two are married.

Which two?

Him and the Inspector.

Look, I'm sorry, mate.
It was just a bit of fun.

So, you're not going to tell
her what I said?

Scout's honour.

I'll tell you what,
I'll even buy you a pint.

Oh, all right, then.

The three of us lads are going
to have to stick together, anyway.

How come?

Well, I've been looking
for a transfer for a while.

When I heard that Jo Lipton was
moving up from Port Devine

and joining our team, I thought,
well, why not swap?

I mean it'll be a challenge but,

I might actually get to see
the wife occasionally.

So, you're transferring to,
to our police station?

Taking Jo's place? Yeah.

And how does your wife
feel about that?

Well, that she doesn't yet know.

Well, what happens
when she finds out?

Well, put it this way -

it won't be your ba*ls she'll be
busting, it'll be mine.

RYAN CHUCKLES

So, you doing all this digging,
does that mean you're onboard?

You'll help me look for Shelley?

It means I'm intrigued.

And I'll help you look for
whoever sent the bracelet, yes.

Is that Barry's boat?

He should have been back hours ago.

What's that eejit playing at?
Has he fallen asleep?

Sorry, Eve, I just need to...

And it was so funny!

LAUGHTER

Look at the pair of them.

What's the joke?

This man's hilarious.

When's it due?

The baby?

So, you DO know.

Jo told me. Mind you, Marlene's
all genned up about it too.

Why should Nicole tell you
if she's pregnant?

You're pregnant?

Because Callum might be the father.

Might be?
Jo thinks it's a total certainty.

Which is why she's cleared off to
Belfast and won't answer my calls.

I need to know.

Is it my baby?

We're not sure.

Well, then, do a DNA test.
Find out one way or the other.

No, no way.

I've heard that those can be
really dangerous.

We're just going to have to wait
until the baby's born.

So how long have I got to wait?

Maybe six, seven months...

So why don't you go back to Belfast
and patch things up with Jo, eh?

If the baby's yours, we'll cross
that bridge when we come to it.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
You'd love that, wouldn't you?

Get me out of the way.
It's not like that, Callum.

It's exactly like that.

So, until I know whether this baby's
mine or not,

I'm going nowhere.

This isn't good.

Something's wrong, Eve,
I know there is.

Marlene, do you want me
to check on him?

No, it's OK, I need to...

I need to.

Barry?

Barry? Can you hear me, Barry?

I think it was a heart attack.

I'm so sorry, love.
