04x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

Come on, Chloe, keep up.

I can't believe I let you talk me
into this.

The fresh air, you can taste it.

TYRES SCREECH

CRASHING

What was that?

It sounded like a car crash.

It's Nicole.

All right, this is
Detective Constable Luke Jackson.

I'm going to need an ambulance
to Bally Mountain Road.

I've got a heavily pregnant
woman involved in an RTC.

No signs of any trauma
or visible injury.

No other injured persons.

Injured party is still
in the vehicle.

Nicole?
It's Chloe Jackson, can you hear me?

Ah!

The baby?

I think my waters have broken.

Don't you worry, the ambulance
is on its way.

I mean, this is good of you, Eve,
but I could have managed.

We both know this was aimed
at the pair of us.

"K*llers", not "k*ller".

Oh, hello, son.
Where are you headed?

I'm just going to the shops
for Granny.

She's never heard of
online shopping. What's this?

Mindless vandalism.

I'm just lending Marlene
a wee hand to get rid of it.

Right.

See you later.

Sorry, your husband's not
picking up.

I've left a message, but...
I can't do this on my own.

I'm sure Clint won't be long.

He's at a country music festival
in County Fermanagh.

Why don't I come to the hospital
with you?

Um, yes, please, I'd like that.

Let me know how you get on.

OK, Dad.

SIRENS WAIL

Nicole's waters have broken.

What? Cos of the crash?

I wouldn't be surprised.
Her car's taken quite some impact.

So the guy did a runner, then?

Guys, plural.

Both doors are open.

Right, I'll call this one in,

see if we can find out
who the registered driver is. OK.

Papa, delta, eight-two to control,
over.

Go ahead, papa, delta eight-two.

Yeah, just looking at a wee
VRN check

on reg H-F-Z 3-2-8-1.

Hotel, foxtrot, Zulu, 3-2-8-1, over.

What are you doing here?

Just out for a walk.
What's happened?

Someone ran into Nicole.

Is she OK? What about the baby?

Well, Nicole's in one piece, but..

..looks like she's gone
into labour.

That's mad!

Sure, I was only at the hospital
with her yesterday for a check-up

and everything was fine.

RADIO: Vehicle is registered to
a Jed Callaghan of Seaview Road,

Port Devine.

Clint's away. She's going to want me
to open up the bar.

Can you give me a lift?

What? You've finished your hike now,
have you?

It wasn't a hike. It's a wee dander.

So what's this I hear about
you and Marlene Pettigrew

out at the crack of dawn
painting a wall?

How did you hear about that?

Well, my friend Phyllis from
Bible class was driving past.

Gave me a wee ring. You know
the terrible gossip she is.

It's no big deal.

It's just a bit of graffiti
on Barry's wall.

Probably kids.

Good morning, Mrs Dunlop.
Mr Callaghan.

Eve, I'm sure you won't remember me
from our school days.

You haven't changed a bit.

I remember you very well.

Jed Callaghan.

What can we do for you?

Well, I'm sorry to say I'm here
to report a crime.

My car has been stolen.

Well, we'll see if we can get
it back for you.

You head on in.

Constable McCarthy will
take your statement.

He's the one that hasn't changed.

Same old smooth charmer.

I have no time for that man.

Is that because he imports
wine for a living?

Aye, there's that.

And other things.

Like what?

Well, you know me,
I'm not one to gossip.

SEAGULLS SQUAWK

Well, the car was there when I went
to bed, and I got up this morning

and it had vanished.

OK, can you give me
the registration, please?

H-F-Z,



OK.

All right. Bye, bye-bye.

So Nicole's been taken
into hospital.

Sounds like she's in labour.

She's what?!

Um...

Nicole's been in an accident,
but she's fine.

The baby's fine.

But it might have brought
on her labour.

What kind of accident?

It was a head-on collision.

The other car registration
is...

H-F-Z 3-2-8-1.

That's Jed Callaghan's stolen car.

Do we know who was driving it?

No, not yet, they fled the scene.

Um, I'd better let Jed know
that his car's been

involved in an accident.

I can do that.

You get yourself on up to
the hospital.

Go.

Callum.

Hey.

Still no baby.

As you can see.

Is everything OK?

The midwife says there's
nothing to worry about.

That baby's just decided
to pop out a bit early.

Thank goodness for that.

I'll give you guys some space.

Thanks.

I'm also here in
an official capacity,

so I need to take your statement.

Oh, well, I can tell you now that
the whole thing's a blur.

I can't believe...

..our baby...

..is on his way.

Yes...

..he is.

Which is more than I can say
for that husband of mine!

Can you tell us where you keep
your car key?

Yeah, it's in the kitchen drawer
and the fob's still there.

I presume they used some sort
of device to unlock it.

Possibly.

Have you got a spare fob?

Yeah, it's with my son.

I don't suppose he could have driven
the car away?

No way, Rory's at work.

Night shift as a security guard.

Do you know when he'll be back?

Rory wouldn't take my car
without speaking to me.

We'd still appreciate a chance
to speak to him.

Just rule him out.

Yeah.

Rory Callaghan didn't show up
for work last night.

Yeah, I've tried his mobile
a few times.

It's going straight to voicemail.

Is Rory the kind of lad to go out
joyriding in his dad's car

and run away
from the scene of an accident?

Maybe.

He's always had a bit
of a mouth on him.

Ah, like his dad?

Smoothie Jed.

It's going to be a big
responsibility.

What is?

Being this baby's grandfather.

I mean, Nicole's parents are dead.

Clint's mum's in a care home
and he doesn't speak to his dad.

That just leaves me.

What about your wife, Callum's mum?

She's in a mood with Callum
because he's taking me in.

PHONE PINGS

I mean, do I even look old enough
to be a grandfather?

Yeah, yeah, you do.

What took you so long?

Well, thank goodness you're here,
at least.

But I thought you wanted Clint
here with you at the birth.

She does.

Look who I found.

Oh, Clint.

Hiya, love.

Oh, Clint, am I glad to see you!

I came as soon as I got
Chloe's message.

Thank you. No problem.

I am so sorry.

I know how much you were looking
forward to the

country music festival.

This is a million times
more important.

Right, er, I'll get off.

Uh, keep me up to speed.

Yeah, will do.

Is it OK if I go, too?

Callum can give you a lift,
can't you, Callum?

Mm-hm.

Thank you for being
my guardian angel.

Any time.

I just found this by the back door.

Passport belonging
to Rory Callaghan.

You know him?

No.

Stick it behind the bar, sure.

Tell you what, I'll phone
our Callum.

Ask him what we should do with it.

There's no need to bother
the police, yeah?

I think your stepmother's
lost her marbles.

Up painting a wall at the crack
of dawn.

She was doing what?

Well, someone graffitied
Marlene Pettigrew's wall.

Mum helped her get rid of it.

And why would Eve do that?

Well, the graffiti was h*m*.

What?

Yeah, well, Marlene is g*y.

I think Mum was trying to
clear it off before I'd see it.

Marlene is also a police officer.

It might have something
to do with that.

Right, if you say so.

People in this town are h*m*?

Not that I'm aware of.

Well, that's good,

because Andrew's coming to visit.

O-M-G, Lois!

We're gonna meet the boyfriend.

All right, what can we do for you,
lads? It's my dad I need to see.

There he is, father to be.

Any news? Not yet.

Two of you? What's the big deal?

Well, the car that hit the car
belongs to Rory Callaghan's dad.

Rory's been AWOL ever since
the accident.

Was Rory in here last night?

Not that I saw.

Nor me. Mind you, I don't think
he could have dropped it last night.

Why not? Cos I swept the area
at the back door first thing

and there was no sign
of that passport then.

So it must have been dropped
this morning.

Was that him?

Police, stop!

Rory Callaghan, stop!

Stop!

Get your hands off me!

Give me the bag.

Some bruising you got there, Rory.

It wouldn't happen to be from
a car crash, would it?

How the hell would you know?

You a doctor?

Rory Callaghan, I'm arresting you
for aggravated taking

and driving away and leaving
the scene of an accident.

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.

Clothes and toiletries.

And your passport.

You going anywhere nice?

Let's go.

Right, Rory.

We've just been talking
to Dr McKenzie.

Having examined you, he reckons that

in addition to
the extensive bruising,

he suspects that you suffered
two cracked ribs.

So that happened during the vehicle
collision this morning?

Not this again.

I wasn't in a vehicle collision,
as you call it.

I fell over yesterday at work.

Yesterday? Yes.

I went to A&E.

Check the records if you don't
believe me.

Now, don't you worry, we will.

Your father reported his car
stolen this morning.

Whoever took it collided
with a heavily pregnant woman

and then fled the scene.

Whoever stole my dad's car,

it wasn't me.

DOOR OPENS

So, what did Rory have to say?

Who? Mr Charm and Personality?

Not a lot.

He claims he always carries
his passport with him.

Guess what?

I don't believe him.

Yeah, I'll do some digging here,
see if he's booked on to a flight.

Did you ask Rory why he was
hiding out in the Commodore?

Why he picked it, of all places?

He claims he fancied
a morning latte,

found the back door open.

Needless to say, we're pretty
sure that's a lie, too.

Mm.

Grand day, isn't it?

A great wee spot.

Aye, you could do a lot worse
in Port Devine.

Lived here all your life, have you?

Can't imagine living anywhere else.

Custard cream?

Ach. Go on, let yourself go.

I am a sucker for a custard cream.

Thank you.

Did you hear Nicole's in hospital?

I'm going to be a grandfather.

Congratulations,
if that's not premature.

The word is that...

..all's fine.

You're a grandmother yourself,
aren't you, although...

..you don't look old enough.

Well, just... just the one grandson.

I'm sure you have him
spoilt rotten. Oh, aye.

He deserves it.

He's a good lad.

They just grow up so fast.

Tell me about it.

One minute Callum was in
short trousers and the next minute

he's having one of his own.

Your wife must be delighted.

You are still married, aren't you?

In theory, dear lady.

In theory.

What about you? I refuse to believe
that you're single.

Oh, divorced this many a year.

And no-one swept you off your feet?

Seamie.

Hiya, son.

Can I ask you a wee question?

Oh, well, er, I'd better get going.

Thanks for the biscuit.

sh**t.

How do you think Rory Callaghan got
into the Commodore this morning?

Now, that is a mystery.

I swear on the grave of
Yeats himself

that those doors were locked.

Right.

So either he had a key

or someone let him in.

I suppose.

Seamie, how long is this break?
What, like a month?

I need a wee word.

OK.

I'll leave you two lovebirds to it.

Were you in that car
that hit Nicole?

I know full well you're not
the kind of girl

who goes on early morning walks.

Were you in that car with
Rory Callaghan this morning?

Yes, I was in the car...

..but I was on my own.

OK.

In that case...

..Brandi McClure,

I'm arresting you on suspicion of
taking and driving away a car

and leaving the scene of
an accident.

Brandi, did you tell Constable Parr
that you were driving the vehicle

registration number H-F—Z 3-2-8-1

that was involved in a collision
this morning?

Yeah, I did.

Who was in the car with you, Brandi?

Nobody.

I was on my own.

Then why did you leave the scene
of the accident?

Just panicked.

Were you aware that you'd hit
Nicole?

Yeah, I felt terrible.

That's why I went back just to see
if she was OK.

Oh, well, that was big of you.

Look...

..last night when we closed
the pub...

..I went to Rory Callaghan's house.

We just watched a movie
and fell asleep.

But when I woke up, I didn't fancy
getting a taxi,

so I just borrowed his dad's car.

The last thing I wanted to do
was to get in a crash with anyone,

least of all Nicole.

Can we just get this over with?

Charge me or whatever.

What I do believe is Brandi
was in that car when it hit Nicole.

But she wasn't driving.

Then why is she covering
for Rory Callaghan?

Ryan, did your girlfriend
ever introduce you to him?

Mention him?

I had no idea they even knew
each other.

Jed Callaghan is here.

He wants to know
what's going on with his son.

Here's a little something to welcome
you back to Port Devine.

That is very generous of you.

My mother is running
a charity raffle.

I'll donate it to that.

We have to be careful about
accepting gifts.

Of course.

Sorry.

So how is Rory?

Did he really take my car?

We don't know that yet.

Not for sure.

What we do know is that he made
a break for it

when my officers tried
to talk to him.

And why would he do that
if he's innocent? Exactly.

Tell me, Mr Callaghan...

Please, Jed.

Was Rory planning
on going away anywhere?

Rory, go away?

From Port Devine, you mean?

I mean, apart from when
he slopes off to work,

I mean, that's all I can do
to get him to leave the house.

Rory Callaghan was booked
on the 10 o'clock flight

to Manchester this morning.

His father clearly knew
nothing about that.

Well, that's interesting,
because the flight was

paid for with Jed's credit card.

So Rory was definitely planning
on doing a runner?

I finally got through
to the hospital.

Rory was telling the truth.

He went to A&E yesterday afternoon

and they diagnosed him
with two cracked ribs.

He was also badly bruised.

So the day before the car crash?

Won't they make you wipe that off?

Excuse me?

This stuff is nontoxic,
nonflammable and is perfectly safe

for bonding with baby skin-to-skin.

I've done my research.
Of course you have.

And besides, I don't want
to give birth

looking like a bag of spanners.

How did Callum seem to you?

He seemed all right. Why?

Now that it's so close to this
wee one being born, I just...

Maybe it's the hormones, but...

I just don't know how
any of this is going to work.

Look, it really doesn't matter
what Callum does or doesn't do.

Why?

Because you'll always have me.

Why don't you like Jed Callaghan?

Am I allowed to take my coat off?

Is this something to do
with his late wife?

Maeve?

What do you know about her?

Well, I used to see the pair
of them, you know,

when I came down to visit you. Mm.

I always thought there was something
odd about that relationship.

Maeve was a decent
God-fearing woman

till the cancer took her.

May she rest in peace.

Jed, on the other hand,
I never liked.

Oh, he may be all fine wines
and flash cars now,

but just like your da,
he was never out of the Commodore.

I strongly suspected

Jed used to head home
at closing time

and knocked seven bells
out of poor Maeve.

And you didn't report this
because...?

She flatly denied it.

Thank you.

That is really helpful.

I don't suppose you're going to tell
me why it was helpful? No, I'm not.

Fine.

Then you can answer me
another question.

That graffiti you and Marlene
were painting over,

was it h*m*?

No, it wasn't!

Well, Ross thinks it was.

He thinks you were helping her
get rid of it in case he saw it.

It wasn't h*m*.

I'll set him straight.

But what did it say?

Somebody had spray painted the word
"K*llers" on Barry's wall.

K*llers? Yep.

Goodness knows why, it was probably
kids or something.

Poor Marlene.

Good for you for helping her
paint it over.

Good for you for looking out
for our Ross.

Oh, don't go praising me.

I'm not that woke.

Ross told me that Andrew fella's
coming to stay.

He never mentioned that to me.

Well, what do you feel about it?

That it's all moving
a bit too quickly?

Mm.

Hello, Rory.

I'm here to tell you that
we are releasing you on bail,

pending further enquiries.

What?

Sorry?

Someone else has confessed
to driving your dad's car,

leaving the scene of the accident.

Are you not going to ask us
who confessed?

Or is that because
you know that already?

Uh, no, of course not.

Your father's waiting for you.

Rory...

..do you have anything
you'd like to tell us...

..about your father?

About how he treats you?

No.

Need a hand?

Oh, that would be nice.

I spoke to your mother.

That graffiti was definitely
not h*m*.

Really?

Definitely not.

That's good.

You know, if anybody in this town
ever does give you a hard time...

Yeah?
They'll have me to deal with.

Thanks, Gran.

Love you too.

You OK? Yeah.

Onions.

So, do you really think that Jed
is physically abusing Rory?

I'm almost sure of it.

If I'm right, we've just sent Rory
into the lion's den.

When his dad finds out about the
credit card, he's going to lose it.

So what do we do?

I reckon that Brandi girl knows
far more than she's letting on.

Rory's gone home with his dad?

That a problem, is it?

What does Mr Callaghan know?

About what?

Well, does he know I took his car?

Nobody believes that.

Jed's not stupid.

I won't take him long to get
the truth out of Rory.

Jed's going to k*ll him.

What happened, Brandi?

Because we can't help Rory
unless you tell us.

When I went to the hospital
with Nicole,

I ran into Rory.

How do you know each other?

We used to go out when I worked
at The Sheep & Lamb.

So what happened at the hospital?

Rory was in bad shape.

Cracked ribs and...

He tried to give me some story
about how he fell at work.

And you didn't believe him?

Look, I've known for ages
that Rory's dad beats him up.

But Rory's always denied it.

So what did you do?

When I saw what state
he was in the hospital,

I just... I couldn't let go.

So after work last night...

..I just took a taxi to his place.

And then when I got there, I saw

his dad beating him up.

Saw it through the window.

When his dad went to bed, I tried
to get Rory to call 999.

He wouldn't.

So I just convinced him
to book a flight.

Just take his dad's car
to the airport.

So Rory was driving, not you?

Yeah.

Are you willing to make a formal
statement telling us what you saw?

That's great, Brandi.

I still don't think
we have what we need.

What we need is concrete evidence.

Do you mean, like, proof

about what his dad's been
doing to him?

Mm-hm.

I can help you.

I've got that.

Is that what you needed?

Yeah.

Am I still in trouble?

Stealing a car

and leaving the scene of an accident
are serious offences...

..as is perverting the course
of justice.

But we'll do everything
we can to explain the circumstances

to the powers that be.

SHOUTING

That doesn't sound good.

Ryan, Callum, cover the front door.
Yous two with me.

Police! Stop now!

I'm sorry you witnessed that.

I checked my bank statement,

and I saw that Rory
had used my credit card.

And when I confronted him about it,

he told me he took my car.

I...

I'm ashamed to say I...

I completely lost my temper.

It's never happened before.

Isn't that right, Rory?

Yeah.

You're wasting your time,
Mr Callaghan.

Sorry?

We have video evidence that proves
this is not a one-off.

Detective Constable,
would you do the honours?

Jed Callaghan, I'm arresting
you on suspicion of as*ault

and domestic violence.

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.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Why didn't you tell someone?

Since Mum died, it's just
been the two of us.

WHISPERS: He's my dad.

He always says sorry.

I'm sorry I had to arrest you.

No, it's all right.

I'm sorry I didn't give you
much choice.

What you did today, you may not
have gone about it the right way,

but we know you meant well.

And, hey, look, at least
Rory's safe, thanks to you.

Shall we?

See you later?

Yeah, I'll come down to the pub.

So, um...

..you must have been so worried
when she confessed.

Too right.

You know, I actually thought
that I was gonna have to return...

..this.

No!

So Jed Callaghan is behind bars.

Not a moment too soon,
in my opinion.

Mum, has Granny mentioned
about Andrew coming to visit?

She did.

Don't you think it's a bit soon?

I thought you said the pair
of you were taking things slowly.

What? She thinks you want him
to stay the night.

No.

He's only coming to visit
for the day, like.

Andrew's welcome here, however long
he wants to stay.

Isn't that right?
Of course, of course.

Just let us all know when.

Well! Er, Lois Dunlop,

I don't want to see you lifting
another finger.

Me and the kids will wash up,
come on.

Where did you get this man?

Can you get me one like him?

You in the market for a man, Lois?

Of course not. Cheeky wee article!

You putting us up

and putting up with us,

it's appreciated.

Well, you can show your gratitude
by being honest with me.

About what?

That graffiti.

"K*llers".

Don't sound like kids to me.

More targeted.

Nasty.

Marlene's been a police officer
for a long time, Mother.

She can handle it.

Not "k*ller", mind you.

"K*llers", more than one,
and there's you

helping Marlene to scrub it off.

We think it has something
to do with Shelley.

Shelley Moffitt that disappeared
all those years ago?

Yeah.
Why on earth would you think that?

Because someone keeps sending me
and Marlene stuff.

What kind of stuff?

A bracelet I made for Shelley.

Flowers from Shelley on the day
of Barry's funeral

and other things.

Surely that poor girl's long dead.

That's what Marlene thinks.

What?

So this graffiti artist

is accusing you and Marlene
of having k*lled her?

That's what it's looking like.

To be honest with you, I always
thought Shelley took her own life.

Why? The shame.

Having a baby that young
and out of wedlock?

What?

Shelley had a baby

a few weeks before she went missing.

Of course, her mother let on
that she'd spent the summer

with her cousins in Strabane,

but I wasn't fooled.

I knew it. I asked her.

What did she say?
But she denied it, of course.

I asked her too.

Oh, you know me.

I'm not one to beat about the bush.

She swore blind she wasn't,
but I could tell she was lying.

Now that poor girl was pregnant.

Who was pregnant?

Nobody you'd know.

Ah, girls, look,
I'll make myself scarce.

You haven't told your husband
about this?

No, no.
I think you should tell him.

Why?

He's a detective,
for goodness' sake.

And I'm an inspector.

I can handle this.

I'll see you later.
Where are you going?

The Commodore. Oh, I'm not invited?

You said it was a den of iniquity.

Well, then I shall be
raising the tone.

Come on.

Don't you two look a picture?
Father and son.

There you are.

You just missed it.

Your son was born half an hour ago.

My son.

Come and meet him.

Hon, let Callum have a hold.

I'm not sure I know what to do yet.
I was an only child.

Oh, you'll soon learn.

Oh.

WHISPERS: Oh, he's so tiny.

PHONE PINGS

That's, er, Marlene,

asking what's happening.

Well, give her a call
and tell her the good news.

OK, I'll go outside.

BABY CRIES

I'm a grandad!

Drinks on the house!

Uh, I'm not sure what Nicole
will think about that.

It's Nicole's baby
we're celebrating.

So, congratulations are in order.

They are indeed, Mrs Dunlop.

Lois, please.

Congratulations.

Well, I'll have an orange squash,
please. Inspector?

Glass of white wine, please.

I need a word with Marlene.

Brandi, I'm sorry.

Don't be.

It was my idea to steal
your dad's car.

Did they let you talk to him?

He refused to see me.

I'll try again tomorrow.

No, he doesn't deserve you.

And what about
your policeman boyfriend?

I presume he wouldn't be
too impressed with you

ending up with a criminal record.

Ryan's cool.

Like, that's why we get on so well.

LOIS LAUGHS

Do you want a drink,
seeing as we're on the house?

Yeah.

Shelley was pregnant?

Yeah, according to my mother.

Do you remember she disappeared
for the whole of that summer?

Aye, to Strabane
to stay with her cousins.

She was having a baby?

You're a terrible man, Mr McCarthy.

Seamie, please.

Mm.

Very well, Seamie.

So tell me this.

And tell you no more?

Exactly.

How long ago did you
and Mrs McCarthy separate?

We haven't.

Sorry, what? We haven't
been separated.

All right, she's a wee bit annoyed
with me,

I'll give you that.

That's why I'm holed up down here.

But you've been in Port Devine
for about six months.

When I say "a wee bit annoyed",

she's actually raging.

But I still love the bones of her.

Excuse me.

Oh, I get it.

You've got a notion
for Seamie there.

That's why you wanted
to come here tonight.

Tedious twit! Are you insane?

Oh, Rory, meet Ryan.

It's my boyfriend.

Got a diamond here, pal.

Don't I know it, mate!

I'll, er, catch you later.

So, how'd you get to know him, then?

Who? Rory?

We used to see each other.

Oh.

How come I didn't know about that?

Because it's not that important.

So Shelley had a baby.

What does that change?

It opens up the possibility
that if Shelley did have a kid...

Hold on, hold on.

Do you think Shelley's kid
has been targeting us?

Who else could harbour
that kind of a grudge?

Do you remember I was telling you
about Niamh?

My ex.

About how I was always on her case.

I...

I have tried so hard
not to be like that with you.

Yeah.

And you being chilled out

is... is a huge part
of why this works.

I don't want to be controlling
here, Brandi.

I...

I really don't.

But I just, I can't...

I can't go on like this.

I need to know what you're thinking.

I need to know what I mean to you.

But don't pressure me.

I don't know who you are.

You never talk
to me about your family,

about where you're you from.

Your past.

Do you want to know who I am?

Yeah.

I'm your ex-girlfriend.

This is over.
