01x02 - Hiccups

[bunniefuu]

EMERSON:

Okay, okay. How about this?

I heard a rumour

that there's this beef farmer,

not too far from here, feeding

angel dust to his cattle. Nope.

Okay

What about an article on untreated

sewage in the drinking water? Nah.

Nepotism in the council? No.

A yoga teacher who is also

running a brothel?

Emerson

we need to give the locals

a reason to buy a local paper.

People around here couldn't give a

toss if their water smells funny.

They don't question why

their steaks are big and juicy.

Or why John Joe gave John Joe Jr

the contract to cut the hedges.

Well, what do they want?

You tell me and I'll write it.

In a small town, not more

than 50 miles from here,

there was a robbery

in a post office.

Now, tomorrow, their local paper

is going to run a story on it.

It's a cr*cker. I presume

you've heard. No.

9 am.

A guy walks into

the post office.

He's all alone in the place.

Well, apart from the tellers,

right? Teller.

There's only one working

this morning

because her co-worker

called in sick, so

The guy that walks in, is holding

a fistful of helium balloons.

And when he releases them

They float up and cover

the security camera.

Look who woke up. Camera covered,

the robber pulls down his hoodie--

And he pulls out a g*n

and he points it at the teller,

whose finger is about

to press the alarm.

'I didn't press it,' she says.

'I know,' says he.

'How do you know?' she says.

'Because you'd be dead

if you did.'

That's a nice line. Totally invented

by the fella writing the story.

I'll tell him you said so. Do!

So, with the g*n pointed at her,

the teller grabs a big envelope

and she starts to pile the cash

into it. And when she's done,

she gives it to the robber. And

And what?

And that's it.

He leaves with the money.

Now, what have you

learned from this?

That stories need better endings

than that. True.

But think big picture.

That story is like something

you'd see on TV - not something

that happens here.

THAT'S what the readers want.

g*ns, crime, twists, turns.

Not 400 words about

their local yoga teacher

being a bit of a prozzie.

But most importantly,

good stories aren't something

I can look out the window

and see for free.

Oh what happened to

the robber? Did he get caught?

There's only one way to find out.

You'll have to buy a newspaper.

(spooky music)

ELVIRA V/O:

k*lling is like eating.

'Put it off for too long,

and you become ravenous.'

'Where and when this all ends,

who knows.

I only know that I've given Tom

here, enough rope.'

'And he's decided to hang himself.'

(tractor engine humming)

'The man's had every opportunity

to prove that

he doesn't deserve this.'

'That he shouldn't be the one

to put a smile on my face.'

'And yet nothing.'

'Only confirmation that

a life must end.' (mobile ringing)

(dog barking)

Shut up! To f*ck!

(barking) Shut up!

'And that I get paid.'

Hold on, Mammy. He's your son.

You deal with him.

He can say what he wants.

It's my land. My cattle go

wherever they like.

'Hang up.'

He said what?!

Come on!

Stay where you are!

I'm on me way.

(banging)

'All he did was put off

the inevitable.'

'His death, and my happiness.'

'Oh, I'm not done with Tom.

Not by a long shot.'

Good morning.

I got your mail by mistake.

Do you have any Panadol?

I don't believe in taking pills.

Why? Do you believe in pain?

No, I believe in paying

for your fun.

Good night out with Mal?

V/O: I know. He's attractive,

and smart, and my type.

'But he's with her now.

And I have bigger fish to fry.'

Hey, do you fancy going on the hop?

It's just Hughie.

He keeps knocking me back.

'What the hell is this?!'

(Emerson keeps talking)

'And who the hell wrote it?'

So I thought, you know what?

I'll ask Elvira.

Thought you might inspire me.

Uh post office.

Okay, I'll take a look.

Dad's collecting his dole.

I said I'd run him home.

(mysterious music)

Have you no shame, Ward?

Do you not care

what people think?

Scrounging off the government

like that?

Why not do something

with your life?

Show some initiative.

You're right, Veronica.

You're absolutely right.

How are ya, Joan?

40/1. You got a tip?

No, it's all my own work.

Some ba*ls you got, Ward.

It's not ba*ls, Joan.

It's initiative.

Touch me for luck?

(chuckles)

Slan abhaile!

I'm owed and you're betting

on the ponies.

Patsy, you know the drill!

All financial transactions are

to be conducted in my office.

And I will see you, over there!

First pint's on me!

(horn toots)

I'll tell you what,

that horse is a dead cert.

It won't touch a twig.

You should have heard what she said

to me, that Veronica Sloan.

You'd think my dole money was

hers, the way she was acting.

Somebody should really--

What, do something about her?

You said you were getting paid.

I also said we've bills overdue.

That's not even the price of

admission. There's eight quid over!

You couldn't get two pints for that!

Then buy three glasses.

What's got into you?

(glove compartment clunking)

Anonymous hate mail.

The writer claims that I'm a--

'You're nothing

but a third-rate reporter

working for a failed newspaper.'

'A sentimental hack with

a limited vocabulary.

Your prose is laborious,

with a grasp of'

' grammar so poor, it would make

a six-year-old blush.'

Callum, you're six. Does Elvira's

grammar make you blush?

'Each column arrives D.O.A,

with articles possessing the

.. emotional resonance

of instructions

on the side of a Lego box.'

Whoa. 'You, Miss Clancy,

make Maeve Binchy?

.. look like--

Dostoevsky. What do I do?

Bin it. And let it eat me alive?

(Mal snorts)

Buy it.

It will give you a lift.

Dad dropped 50 quid

on a horse today.

50 quid, we don't have.

Our English teacher, Mrs Bourke.

You think she wrote it? No!

She made us write an essay once.

You got 62%.

Flipped. Do you know

what marks I got?

Less than 62%.

You always took that stuff

in your stride.

I was too busy defending you.

I spent that week clattering anyone

that said a bad word about ya.

And for that I'm grateful.

Yeah, well, I wish I hadn't.

We got names for ourselves.

Names we never shook.

You

The space cadet

with the dead mother.

And you The dumb jailbird

with the dead aul' wan.

Wasn't there another one?

Callum, where's your

baby brother?

Well, go get him then.

(whispers) Christ on a bike!

Does babysitting pay well?

It does when you're on the dole.

It's definitely written by a man.

Oh my God!

Did you not hear what I just said?!

Ignore it. Do what you do best.

Which is what, exactly?

Write something so good this w*nk*r

never lifts a biro again.

No letter talk, I said.

No, it's funny.

Why, 'cos it laughs at me?

No, it's full of tell-tale signs.

Look! Unusual penmanship.

That is basically

a trail of breadcrumbs.

It's like our poison-pen friend

If they wanted to be caught,

they'd have signed their name.

They virtually have.

What use is it knowing that

Who says I'm buying?

Oh Dad, don't leave me like this.

Now, about this story.

Yeah, it's about Kilraven.

You know, half the people in

this town are on the dole.

And the other half, the good people,

they don't, right?

I don't. No, no. You stopped

working a few years back.

Listen, if you're going to

write a story

please leave me out of it.

Why did you stop working?

It was around the time

that woman was k*lled, wasn't it?

That Austrian, or Swiss or--

German. German.

you already knew that.

See, I think you've been talking

You were here too, right?

Mam!

She'd a one-way ticket to Hanover.

Her handbag, her passport

and her ticket were never found.

Yeah, I know it's tragic.

Ya think?

Well, she was an outsider here.

The people just didn't take to her.

Yeah, why was that?

Because they're f*cking weirdos.

Look, take me through that night.

I heard you left after she did.

Look, I was blotto.

My head was this gaping abyss.

You see now, that's where

I have a problem.

You see, up until that night,

people say-- What people?

These f*cking weirdos.

They say you were

a quiet man. Took no more

I wasn't the only one

that was in here that night.

But you were here,

Well, Mallory and uh

Hughie were here.

I'll get to them. Yeah, but they're

I tell you who you're better off

talking to - Garda Mulcahy.

Yeah. I tried that. No luck.

That's the thing about rogues,

You scratch her back,

she'll scratch yours.

I left at 11. Maria was gone.

I went to the chipper,

No, no, no

My daughter was going through

Elvira wake up!

She can't remember a thing.

Well, she seems WAY better now.

Yeah, well she's a work in progress.

all wrong.

I think we should look at it

as freedom.

Talking to families,

after a death,

they always say something like:

'They're finally at peace.'

Or, 'At least they're free now.'

Give them time. They'll tell you how

much pain this person was in.

Because everyone's in pain.

And Veronica,

she was no different.

You didn't hurt her.

You freed her.

(sigh)

She lived in fear.

The shame of being caught.

And now that fear is gone.

That's how you need to look at it.

That's how I look at it and

.. it works for me.

I'm not cut up because

of what Veronica did.

No? No.

I can tell you this, right?

Yeah-- you can tell me anything.

Veronica made her own decisions.

Right, to steal. Then to end

her own life. Exactly.

That's not on me.

No, it's not. No.

What bothers me is

That it took someone dying for you

to write something this good.

You've read it? Twice.

And? It's the best thing

I've read in yonks.

(chuckles)

So that's what's bothering you.

That you benefited

from someone's death,

and it made you feel

Happy.

(whispers)

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

Not even, Mal.

No, I already told Mal.

Really?

What did she say?

That I should talk to you.

That no one gets this stuff

better than Elvira Clancy.

(seagulls crying)

At least someone's getting some!

Oh here, I got you something.

For me? Mmhmm.

Can you afford this?

Oh, what am I saying?

Of course, you can.

Not anymore, I can't.

I lost the babysitting gig.

What happened?

That little sh*t Callum.

That we took shopping?

Mmm, squealed to his Mam.

I had his baby bro

doing a little 'off-the-books'

retail therapy.

Including this.

I taught him everything I know.

But that's not even the worst part.

His mother reported me

to the dole.

I might have to get a real job.

Look, I've had a good week,

if you need cash. Nah.

I got an upgrade on my phone.

Found a dude who wants to buy it.

That lippy was to cheer you up.

Looks like you don't need it.

I took your advice.

About the letter.

Ignored it, went home

and wrote up a storm.

Good for you.

You're not sticking around?

Gotta bounce.

Celebration drink with Emerson.

He's had a good week too.

ELVIRA V/O: I used to be able

to hear Sandy scream.

'That memory is fading now.'

'That must be how this goes.'

'Still, new memories are forming.'

'Better memories.'

'Memories I could only dream of.'

(whimpering)

(chilling music)

Changed your mind--

Sorry.

I thought you were my friend.

Not yet.

Do you come here often?

I do. Every day.

Even that day Mr Benson fell.

V/O: Oh no no, no, no!

I can still hear him scream.

Seeing him fall like that

It plays in my head over and over--

I'm sorry, do I know you?

Not yet, Elvira.

But we're going to do something

about that.

See you around.

V/O: Not if I see you first.
