[bunniefuu]

He was released on licence.

He's served his sentence.

SHE GASPS

That's him. Michael McAllister.

I set up a fake account,

Molly Bloom.

I was thinking about sending him

a message.

I just wanted to see how he lived,

all the things he has,

that my brother never had.

But you didn't actually

enter the house?

No.

That would be a crime

and you'd have to report it.

I can explain.

I just wanted to see his house

in the flesh.

Raymie.

Have you got no shame?

It's not what you think.

It's exactly what I think.

It's f*cking twisted.

Oh, sh*t.

sh*t, sh*t.

I'm actually quite touched

that Raymie's so upset.

He isn't normally one

to show emotion.

Just get in the car.

Are you saying he's

He's cold, or?

He's a safe pair of hands.

You know, he's steady. No drama.

He isn't one to pick a fight.

f*cking f*cking him! Him!

I'm not f*cking him!

I'm f*cking with him.

I don't care about the semantics,

Cathy, you

I was messing with him!

Are you following me?

Do you know why I'm here?

You left your f*cking iPad open.

I read everything.

It's not like that. Do you love him?

What?

I hate him.

He k*lled my brother.

So naturally, you're friends

with him online? No, Molly Bloom is.

You are Molly Bloom. No, I'm not.

I made her up. She's not me.

I'm using her to

What were you going to

get out of this?

Revenge.

Have you any idea how sick this is?

How insane?

I can see it from your side.

From every f*cking side, Cathy.

This isn't normal.

Do you think watching him like this

without his knowledge,

do you think that

that is acceptable behaviour?

I suppose it's a sliding scale.

Murdering someone would be

on the other end of it.

Honest to God, I just wanted

to slap her stupid face.

Jesus.

I said to her, "How am I supposed

to feel when I see that man?"

She says, "It's not for me

to tell you how you should feel."

It just makes me want to scream.

So how's Raymie now?

Oh, watching me like a bloody hawk.

Or like a concerned husband.

PHONE RINGS

Oh

Ah. On cue.

Calls me five times a day

to check I am where I say I am.

In case I'm still doing

Michael McAllister.

Not still.

Look, he's scared.

He thinks you were cheating.

It means actually reading the book

and not looking it up on Wikipedia,

because I will know.

It means not watching the film

version, because it's different,

and I will know.

In short

ALL: You will know.

Very good.

BELL RINGS

Go on, go on now.

Have a nice weekend.

Andrew.

Is there something

I can help you with?

Uh, should I be in detention

or what?

Should you be in detention?

For mooching off?

Should have answered the door.

Andrew McAllister?

Yes. You've, um

You've been absent a lot recently.

Have I met your dad?

No. My mum, she does

all the school stuff.

Well, it doesn't seem to be working,

Andrew.

Maybe you could ask your dad

to come in for a chat.

Yeah, sure.

Go.

Hiya. What's up?

Anything you want to tell me?

HE CHUCKLES QUIETLY

Who is she?

Who's who?

Whoever these belong to. They're

black lace. Not exactly my style.

Oh, here now,

would you ever wise up?

Give me your phone. What?

I want to see your phone.

Here. Password's

I know what the password is.

Here, think about it.

Think about it.

There's two men in this house now,

isn't there?

So

..he's either got a girlfriend

or

Oh, don't. Seriously?

Hey, look. Boys will be boys.

And occasionally girls.

You know, before you start

pointing the finger at me,

you should be thinking about

other things, like Michael.

What?

Do you not want this?

Aren't you going to check that?

Sally. Wants a chat.

Michael?

Sorry.

Come on to bed.

No, I'm fine.

Well done, Da.

You broke the iPad.

Oh, f*ck.

My form teacher wants you

to come in for a chat.

What? No, no. Your ma usually

does all that stuff.

Yeah, well, he asked for you.

Thank you.

I'm going to go round Gary's

to watch the match.

Sally never said.

I'm sure it'll be fine

if you want to come.

I wasn't invited.

Hiya, love. Listen, I completely

forgot about the football.

I mean, it is on

every bloody evening, but

No, it was just, um

Raymie said that you were annoyed

I didn't invite you round.

What the hell did he say that for?

Of course I'm not annoyed.

Quiet one in with my boys,

fine by me.

How are they doing? Much quieter

when it's not their team.

You mean when they're not drinking,

more like. Yeah.

Um, here,

what are you doing Thursday?

Fancy a wee girlie night out?

Aye, perfect.

Could go to Murphy's.

Have a few drinks,

let our hair down.

BRAKES SCREECH

Cathy, where are you? Er

I already told you.

SHOUTING FROM TV ROOM

You're not at bloody home,

that's for sure.

Now tell me where you are

and what the f*ck you're doing.

You'll only shout at me.

Cathy.

I'm on the A5,

following that f*cking m*rder*r.

Stay on the phone.

I'm getting in the car right now.

Well, John! How wonderful

to see you. Long time, no see.

We'll get us a cup of tea.

That's great. Thank you.

Well, I'll talk to you later.

Great seeing you again. Fantastic.

How you doing? Nice to see you.

Very good to see you. And yourself.

Look, here they are.

Better late than never.

All right? Sorry.

Hope we didn't miss the

Andrew had homework.

Oh, I see. Oh, don't worry. Wee

OK, my brethren, this way, please.

Follow me now, Brothers of Caleb,

into the room here.

All right, everybody in.

Come on in

Oh, Jesus.

What the f*ck are you doing?

What are you doing here? Cathy

Seriously?

sh*t!

I told you not to come.

What, so you could do something

bloody stupid again?

And you took the child

on a f*cking stakeout?

He's grand.

"Stakeout".

Well, look, what if Raymie

finds out that you? Shh!

What?

What's that?

FAINT SINGING

Thank you, brothers. Very nice.

Now, if you'd just follow me, grab

a chair and we form a circle inside.

Thank you. Come on in.

Everybody grab chairs here,

and, uh, we'll just set them

around here facing me.

Here, that'll be great.

What the f*ck is she doing?

Now, this evening, we welcome

a new disciple, Brother Cooper.

ALL MURMUR GREETINGS

Brother Cooper, perhaps you can

tell us why you are here.

It's worse than I thought!

They're born-again Christians.

Seriously, they're just the worst.

Cathy, love, this isn't funny.

I mean, I'm actually starting

to feel sorry for him now.

What? Oh, come on!

He has served his time.

He's built a new life for himself.

He's found the f*cking Lord,

whatever.

What more do you want him to do?

It's like you're hoping

he's still out there k*lling people.

Seriously.

BROTHER COOPER: He later passed away

at the hospital.

My superiors accepted

it was self-defence, but, um

..I have such nightmares.

Brother Cooper, we are here for you.

ALL AGREE

We are, all of us,

to one degree or another,

in the same boat.

We are all sinners.

ALL AGREE

The Lord is with you.

And the Lord is with us.

So let us pray now

for Brother Cooper.

Be merciful, O Lord,

to our offences, and

PRAYER FADES OU

Hey.

Do you know what? I just

..don't want to hear it.

Because you're just

going to keep doing

whatever it is you think

you're doing.

You listen to no-one.

Seriously, I actually don't even

know what to say to you.

Look, it's nearly full-time, so

you'd

better get home before Raymie gets

there.

Or maybe you don't care. I don't

know. No, Sally, please don't.

I promise. No. Do you know what?

I have heard it all before, Cathy.

Just keep me out of it, all right?

I'll see you on Thursday.

At Murphy's.

CAR STARTS

MEN CHATTER

Dad? What?

Look at the car.

f*ck.

Goodness' sake.

Michael?

Who's that?

I don't know, some flippin' lunatic

on the loose or what?

Hey! Hey!

Hey.

Peace offering.

Come on.

I had a long talk with Raymie

last night.

Everything out in the open,

everything sorted.

Just to say it's done.

Michael McAllister's gone.

Locked in the shed at the bottom

of my garden.

He's not actually locked

in your shed?

Cathy, I swear, you're a stupid

figure sometimes.

Now come on, give it here.

Where was I going to get

a fancy coffee round here?

Worked, though, didn't it?

Saw your Michael McAllister

yesterday.

MY Michael McAllister?

After you drove off like a nut.

I looked at him. He looked at me.

You were caught

in his tractor beams.

He looksso normal.

SHE SCOFFS

Yeah, that's how they get you.

Come on, let's go.

Are we still going to Murphy's?

You tell me you've stopped,

you've physically stopped

this communication

with Michael McAllister. But

..up here?

How does it end?

His wife throws him out.

Loses his job.

Loses everything.

An eye for an eye.

Let's talk about Terry.

How did you first cross paths

with Michael McAllister?

Hey, love! Do you fancy

coming over and giving us a kiss?

Come on.

You afraid your brother

will catch you?

f*ck away off, then.

THEY LAUGH

Come on, Michael, head on.

LAUGHTER

What else is there to say?

Terry! Stop!

Stop, Terry!

Terry, stop!

Get off me, Michael!

You Proddy b*stard! You're dead!

Do you hear me? Dead!

Stay the f*ck away

from my sister.

Cathy?

Cathy.

What do you think? Yeah.

Yeah. Pretty deep.

Yeah, I tried some stuff on it,

but obviously it didn't make much

of a difference.

You need the industrial stuff.

Leave it with me.

Ah, good man, Leo. Thank you.

It's quiet.

Aye.

One spit of rain

and it's tumbleweeds.

SHE SNIFFLES

Sorry, love.

None of my business,

but are you OK?

I'm fine, thank you.

Sorry.

Bloody men.

Really?

Why's that not a surprise?

One minute you're all loved-up,

the next they're complete shites.

I'm sorry. I'm sure you don't want

to hear about this.

You think you know them

and then they just

..do something.

Still, maybe just a fight, hey?

Worse?

Oh, love.

Do you know what? Sometimes

you just need to let it all out.

And not to your friends or family.

You don't want them thinking

you're having problems, but

..you can tell a complete stranger.

ANDREW: Mr McDaid?

Yes.

Come on in. Hiya. Nice to meet you.

Have a, have a seat.

Sorry, I was waiting for Andrew out

there, but I don't think he's, er

Yes, he's supposed to be here

now, but, er

Should we get started? Yeah.

Yeah. And then Yeah.

So the thing is, Mr McAllister

Oh, Michael, please.

None of this Mr McAllister stuff.

Uh, yeah. Well, the thing is, er,

truancy is

Look, we all did it when we were

kids, and it's kind of expected.

Off the record, we're not going to

throw the book at any pupil

who sneaks a day here and there.

But when it becomes excessive,

it's quite often indicative

of something else.

Something that might be happening

at home.

Er

Maybe we just need to put

the fear of God into him,

so he doesn't do it again.

Yeah. We don't do the

..the fear of God these days. OK.

Sorry, I I really didn't know

he was skipping school now.

To this extent.

That'sthat's not on.

So, er

I mean, we actually moved

from the north a few years back,

and you know how it is up there.

You know?

Everyone in some way connected

to all thatshit.

This was supposed to be about you

and I can't shut up.

And I don't even know that he's done

anything wrong. It just

There's always a sliver of doubt.

I don't know what I'd do if I found

somebody else's knickers.

But he thinks that our son

You know, I read somewhere

that cheaters

are like serial K*llers.

They always take a memento.

Is that true?

It feels like it might be.

Goodness.

Did you check his phone?

He handed it over no bother.

That's good.

Unless he already deleted it.

You're awful.

Don't mean to be.

Maybe I'm too cynical.

Do you love him?

What?

Yes, course.

There's no "course" about it.

Well, why, do you not love your?

Yeah, absolutely.

That's what makes it so hard.

He's solid, dependable,

knows how to wire a plug.

What's he like in bed?

You're asking a lot there

for a free sticky bun.

No, I just mean, you know

what they say, that

that's the root of every

No complaints.

What about your, uh?

Solid, dependable.

Knows how to wire a plug.

Question is

..do we stick or do we twist?

SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

That was unexpected.

It was lovely.

And you know, what happens in Vegas

stays in Vegas.

I don't even know your name.

Molly.

It's Molly, Lena.

How did you know my?

Oh.

Sorry, could I get a menu, please?

Yeah. Of course.

You just want your kid

looking up to you.

You know?

He's a bit young yet to realise

I'm only human.

But when I was actually

When I was a young man

..a boy, reallyI was on

the periphery of something.

Something that

I had no control over, and

..I was punished for it,

if you know what I mean.

Do you think Andrew

might know already?

He doesn't.

Just as a dad, you worry.

Maybe you should have a conversation

with Andrew about this.

I will when he's older,

and when I'm

Dad?

You said you'd wait for me.

Yeah, but you were late.

Where were you? I had detention.

Well, that says it all, doesn't it?

BACKGROUND CHATTER

Morning. Hiya.

PHONE RINGS

Good man.

Brother Sullivan.

How are you?

Good?

Look, I know you're a busy man.

I was just wondering if you could

do me a little favour. Mm-hm?

There was a woman outside my house

last night

and she vandalised

my son-in-law's car.

Now, if I were to send you

a licence plate,

maybe you could track her down.

It's not quite as simple as that,

Mr Sullivan. These days,

we've all kinds of bells and

whistles to stop that kind of thing.

But if you're reporting a crime,

then absolutely I can investigate

that for you.

Well, as it's family, I'd really

prefer to keep this private.

I was hoping to rely upon

the solidarity

of the Brothers of Caleb.

Mm?

Well, if it's not to be,

it's not to be.

But I'll tell you what,

I'll text it to you now,

and I'll leave it up to

your own conscience.

Wait.

OK, I I'll see what I can do.

Thank you. And bless you.

Er, and while you're there,

see what else you can find out?

There's not really anything

There's a brother in need.

I think we've all been there.

Yes.

Of course.

Sally Bowman is her name.

She's a teacher.

No?

What are you saying, Daddy?

Oh, Daddy, you can't just

You can't go around

accusing people of

He's my husband.

Yes, he is.

And perhaps he needs reminding

about the vows he took

before the Lord.

He's been straying away from

the true path for some time now.

No, Daddy, we're just busy.

Moving yous across the border?

No.

No, he wouldn't have an affair.

He just wouldn't.

The ones that wouldn't

are usually the ones who do.

I don't.

This isn't messing around.

Is it?

And there's nobody at work

who might have set you up?

Somebody you didn't promote?

Some work wife?

I don't think so.

Maybe I'll never find out.

Maybe you won't.

But it certainly adds a little bit

of spice, doesn't it?

Maybe we all need

a little bit of spice.

Oh, I should go.

This was really nice.

Is that her?

The woman from my home.

Where did you get these?

It doesn't matter, I got 'em.

I don't know. I really didn't get

Well, take a look now.

knew all that already.

What are you talking about?

Lena thinks you're playing

Because some woman

might have written on my car?

Yeah, your car,

Then of course

Lena found the underwear.

You're literally having
