[footsteps approaching]

- [yelling]
- Hey, hey, hey! It's me! It's Frank.

- [breathing heavily]
- It's okay.

How the hell did you know I was here?

You called me.

You haven't been
returning my calls, Frank.

You called me and left a message.

Here. Listen. [panting]

[mobile beeps]

[Marcella on voicemail] Frank, it's Keira.
I'm at Lawrence's.

It's the middle of the night
and I can hear noises.

I'm whispering because
they might still be here.

I told you about the stalker.
You think I'm crazy...

But they've been here, Frank.
They know everything.

Marcella. Her past. What she did.
They know about Keira.

[nervously] It's dark. I'm scared, Frank.
You need to come here right now, okay?

Right now!

[Frank] Put the Kn*fe down.

Okay. I'm here now.

Jesus Christ.

What is that?

It's a ghost.

Someone... wants to k*ll me.

You said that you'd be there.

Keira, would you just remain calm,
please.

You said you'd help me.
I'm not ready for it.

It has to be them. It's them!

- It is not the Maguires.
- And if they know...

if they know about Marcella,
then they know about her kids, don't they?

- They know about her kids.
- The kids are fine.

They're with Jason in Singapore.
They're doing great.

[shouting] Frank,
you've got to be honest with me!

You're doing really well,

but you can talk to me
whenever this all becomes too much.

- It's too much.
- Come on. Come on, now.

- No, it's too much.
- Come on.

- Come on.
- [breathing heavily]

Keira, come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on, Keira. Come on.

- It's too... [crying]
- Come on.

Come on.

- Shh.
- How are her kids?

They're thriving.

She misses them.

They miss her, too.

But... they've mourned her
and they've moved on.

[Marcella groans]

No.

I can't breathe.

The CCTV footage I asked...

I asked you to get for me,
where is it?

What?

Why didn't you get it for me?

Listen...

[Finn] Listen.

Who knows about Marcella?

[Finn] Hmm?

- Matthew.
- Matthew.

I know why you're here, Marcella.
You're scared.

You're confused. I don't blame you.

I am, too.

How do you know Matthew?

You just told me about him.

- You just told me about him.
- You just told me about him.

- I didn't.
- [Matthew] Do you still think about it?

- That summer.
- See...

He's an old flame.
He works at Finn's restaurant.

An old flame.
He works at Finn's restaurant.

An old flame. I...
I work at Finn's restaurant.

We should get as far away
from Belfast as possible.

Where the Maguires can't find you.
That's what we should do.

So it could be him.

[Matthew] So it could be him, yeah?

Yeah.

Let's think about this. Who else?

[Matthew] Let's think about this.
Who else?

Rav.

- Rav?
- It could be him.

Not Rav.

You.

- Me?
- [Finn] Me?

- Me?
- You.

[all] My photo is on this board.

- Okay.
- Good.

[all] You don't rule anything out.

That's why you're a good detective.

Don't let some psycho undermine that.

The Maguires are getting sloppy.
We're close to nailing them.

We trained for this, Keira.

- Hold your nerve.
- Hold your nerve.

- Hold your nerve. Keep...
- ...your discipline.

- [whimpers]
- Remember why you're here.

- Remember...
- ...why you're...

- ...here.
- Why are you not helping me?

- I am...
- ...helping you.

- I am helping you.
- Remember why you're...

- We trained for this...
- Keep your discipline.

- [voices echoing]
- [whimpers]

Why aren't you helping me?

Why don't you help me?
Why don't you help me?

Keira, where the hell are you?

Bobby's still missing.

Keira, I am f*cking raging now.

Stop messing about.

Call me, okay? Come home!

Have you seen Keira?
She didn't come home last night.

Trouble in paradise?

Bobby's missing. And now Keira.

- Who cares?
- Well, I do, obviously.

I don't believe you.

[sighs] It's the Callaghans.

They're starting a w*r.

How would I know where Keira is?

We both know why you're really here.

[exclaims]

Look, the Callaghans are animals,

and they're coming for us.

Watch your back.

I had a... relapse. Erm...

[clicks tongue]

Just fell asleep in the car.

I had a relapse... Had a relapse
and I woke up in the car.

Had a relapse
and I woke up in the car.

Relapse...

I woke up in the...
I woke up in the car.

Don't get angry at me, Finn.
I had a relapse.

I woke up in the car.
It's not my fault!

I had a relapse,
and I woke up in the car.

[Finn] You're a shower
of thievin' bastards.

Sort it out in the next hours,
or we'll take our business elsewhere.

- I'm looking at the invoice right...
- [door opens]

I'm gonna have to call you back.

[door closes]

Where the hell have you been?

I had a relapse. I...

passed out in my car.

Jesus, Keira!

It won't happen again.

I thought you were cheating.

I told Conor to dig a hole.

No, I'd never do that.

Drive my ma to the hospital.

- Stacey's gone back in.
- What's wrong with her?

It's just an infection,
but Ma's overreacting.

Finn.

[Finn sighs]

- Hey...
- Keira!

D'you know, you're a good girl,

but you're a f*cking mess.

Go sort yourself out.

[sighs] I'm busy.

[sighs]

[Katherine] Stacey says
Katie isn't feeding properly.

I think they should
both be tucked up at home.

Is she a Katie or a Katherine?

[chuckles] Either way,
it's a lot of baggage

to carry around for the poor we love.

You know, we have multiple contacts
in the police. You're aware of that?

'Cause they say
they didn't arrest Bobby.

We know that for sure.

They told me they were police.
I believed them. I had no reason not to.

Well, somebody's lying.

He'll be sunning it up in Marbella.

[Rav] Let me guess. You're gonna
volunteer to track him down.

Duty calls.

- You still keeping an eye on the Maguires?
- Of course.

Even though they called it in?

Yeah. There's something about their story
that doesn't add up.

- That Barrett was abducted?
- Yeah, by us.

That wasn't their story, though, was it?
It was hers.

[Marcella] Frank?

We need to find Bobby
before they start blaming me.

[Frank] The Ocean's Eleven
of the Belfast criminal fraternity.

Well, the men who took Bobby
convinced me. They...

looked like police,
they acted like police.

So, what are you saying?

Pull up... pull up
the disapproved register.

Okay, maybe we are looking
for a couple of bent coppers.

[typing]

It's a bit of a blast from the past.

I'll leave this with you.
I need a leak.

[telephone ringing]

Yes. Okay.

All right.

[pen scribbling]

[clanking in distance]

[thud in distance]

[soft thud]

- [door closes]
- [footsteps approaching]

Got him.

[scoffs] Terry Gilmore.

He's a sadist.
He joined up to get revenge on the world.

He's as bent as they come.

All right, Roz, so the theory is
the driver of this car

posed as a police officer
and arrested Bobby.

Now I've checked the car via ANPR,

and I've asked the EUEO
for HSU air assistance to no joy.

- I love it when you talk dirty.
- [exhales heavily]

So, this is where the CCTV finishes.

It's the last sighting, which basically
means Bobby was apprehended

and possibly abducted anywhere
around here.

Farms, small lanes, countryside,
otherwise known as...

- The middle of f*cking nowhere.
- Exactly.

[Roz sighs]

[pigs grunting]

[grunting]

[pigs grunting loudly]

[Marcella struggling]

- Come on!
- [snarls]

Get out of the way!

[Marcella exclaims and grunts]

- [Stacey] Finally got her to feed.
- [Katherine] Well done, love.

[Stacey] Bobby should be here.

[Katherine chuckles] He'd be so proud.

Why don't I put her to bed?

What if something's happened
to Bobby?

You can't think like that.

Don't talk to me like I'm a child.

Mum, if something's happened to him,
then none of us are safe.

You and Katie are safe.

I promise you.

Then why do I feel so scared?

Mum...

If Bobby's been att*cked or...

or m*rder*d...

then I want revenge.

Proper revenge.

Cruel, sadistic revenge.

Enough to make sure that
no one ever threatens our family again.

I promise.

If someone's hurt Bobby...

they're as good as dead.

I swear.

I'll do it myself.

[car approaching]

[man on TV] Let's try the next one.

[man ] Doing that whole sh**t.

[man speaks indistinctly]

[man ] Morning! Oh, hello there,
Model Central.

How are we?

[man ] Fantastic.
What are you up to, then?

[woman] Spinning up some hair.

[man ] You look fabulous.

Does anyone know Catherine?
Do you know Catherine, few doors down?

[man ] We need to get into that loft,
and we need in there now.

- [man ] Okay. I have some keys.
- [man ] Can we borrow them?

[man ] She's left them with me
in case of emergency.

[man ] We're having
one of those very emergencies...

[sighs in exasperation] Sick. Seriously?

[switch clicking]

- [electricity crackling]
- [groans]

[Gilmore panting]

- [electricity crackling]
- [Gilmore groaning]

- Why'd you k*ll Bobby?
- [Gilmore panting] What?

Why did you k*ll Bobby?

[Gilmore panting] I didn't ask.

You were following orders?

[Gilmore continues panting]

You were following orders?

- [electricity crackling]
- [Gilmore groaning]

Who are you working for?

- [electricity crackling]
- [Gilmore groaning]

Who are you working for?

Who ordered the k*ll?

You don't want to know. Trust me.

- You don't want to know...
- Who ordered the k*ll?

You don't want to know. [groaning]

- Who...
- Please, please, please.

- ...ordered the k*ll?
- Please, no.

- Please, no... [screaming]
- [electricity crackling]

Who ordered the k*ll on Bobby?
Who ordered the k*ll?

Please, please, no. No!

- [electricity crackling]
- [Gilmore groaning]

- Who?
- [Gilmore panting]

[groans]

Ro... f*ck.

Rory Maguire.

Who?

Rory Maguire. Rory Maguire.

Rory Maguire.

Rory Maguire?

Yeah. Yeah, Rory Maguire. [splutters]

Are you sure?

Yeah. Please. Please.

- [electricity crackles]
- [groaning and panting]

[line ringing]

[laptop trilling]

What the f*ck has happened to you?

Bobby's dead.

That's what's left of him.

You can go away now.

Where did you find this?

[Marcella] In a pigpen.

[Rav] Jesus Christ.

[Marcella] You can go home now, Rav.

- He's dead. Justice has been done.
- No, this is not justice.

It's what he deserved.

I need you to help me, Marcella.

When this is...

When this is all finished, I need you
to testify that Bobby k*lled Isambard.

Will you do that for me?

You know, I made myself
two promises yesterday.

I wouldn't go home without Bobby,

and I wouldn't go home without you.


So let me help you, Marcella.

She doesn't need your help.

- Oh, for f*ck's sake!
- You heard me.

What is going on?

- Go home, Rav.
- Marcella.

Marcella?

[telephone ringing]

[beeps]

Terry.

[Gilmore] That blonde bitch
that was driving Bobby to the airport...

She was here.

She knows. Everything.

- [knocking at door]
- [gasps]

[Marcella] Were you with Jack?

Family meeting. Ten minutes.
Rory's called it.

All night?

There's something I think
you all need to hear.

[Bobby] Katherine Maguire is responsible
for the murders of seven people.

That's the ones I know about.

She traffics dr*gs, g*ns, people.
From Asia and Eastern Europe.

Rory Maguire does the books,
he pays off the suppliers...

and a few judges.

Finn Maguire has cops on his payroll.

That's how he got away with
battering a tout to death eight years ago.

I'll give you names...

dates, witnesses...

for everything.

- Bobby grassed?
- Not quite.

Bobby was an unwitting part
of a little role play I set up.

The detectives who arrested him
were played by Walsh and Gilmore,

two disgraced police officers who owe me
their liberty and their arseholes.

As you can see, Bobby squealed
at the first opportunity.

He was a liability.

- [Finn] You k*lled him?
- [Rory] He left us no option.

[Finn scoffs]

[Rory] Hmm.

You're fond of Bobby, Finn.
I can sense you're upset.

I'd have pulled the trigger myself,
if I'd have known.

What was wrong with just smuggling him
out of the country?

Because Stacey would have gone, too,
and taken the baby with her.

It's an outcome that would've
suited you very well, Finn.

- What?
- But Mum would have been...

heartbroken.

My apologies for keeping everyone
in the dark.

My instinct was,
the less you knew, the better.

Keira, that particularly
applies to you.

Hope you forgive me.

Mummy.

I know you'd never have condoned
k*lling Stacey's husband.

I'm also sure you know
it was the right thing to do.

We'll need a story for her,
of course.

Story. You mean another lie?

My suggestion is London.

A secret service hit,
the foreign secretary's revenge.

f*cking shite!

[Rory] That mouth of yours again
is gonna get you in trouble.

- [Finn] That's a thr*at.
- [Rory] It's gonna get us all in trouble.

I had to come clean before you said
"w*r with the Callaghans" one more time.

Enough!

Keira, be outside with the car
in ten minutes.

I'm going to the hospital.

Somebody has to tell Stacey
her husband's dead.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[door closes]

What?

You didn't look surprised
about Bobby.

I don't know. Rory...
Ow, ow! Finn! Ow!

You knew, didn't you?

Huh?

- I... guessed.
- When?

- Last night.
- And why didn't you tell me?

Because you weren't here!
You're hurting me! Ow! Ow!

Your loyalty is to me.

- Understand?
- Yeah.

[door opens]

[door slams]

[Rory] I tried to find you last night.

But you weren't in your room...

or Finn's.

No, no, no.

I wanted to praise
your detective work.

I just got lucky.

And your brutality.

You neutered my att*ck dog.
Scarred him for life.

- I didn't know he worked for you.
- Oh, but you found out. Bravo.

What I find even more interesting
is that you didn't tell my brother.

Why not?

I've got to go
and take Katherine to the hospital.

[Stacey crying] No!

Just go. [sobbing]

Just go!

[continues sobbing]

[tearfully] Bobby!

[continues sobbing]

[Katherine sighs]

Can you take me home?

Of course.

Not the mansion.

The estate.

Home.

[Marcella] Do you want help getting in?

Are you not coming in?

No. I'm gonna go back and meet Finn.

I can walk you to the door.

No, thanks.

Sure?

Yes.

[Rory on recording] ...Walsh and Gilmore,
two disgraced police officers

who owe me their liberty
and their arseholes.

As you can see, Bobby squealed
at the first opportunity.

He was a liability.

- [Finn] You k*lled him?
- [Rory] He left us no option.

[Finn] Are you sure about this?

Have you got the file?

Rory's ruthless. If I cross him...

He's a freak
that doesn't leave his room.

[scoffs] You sound like Bobby,
and look what happened to him.

This isn't like you.
You sound scared.

If I tell Stacey, there's no going back.
It's all-out w*r.

It was w*r the minute
your mum had a stroke.

Rory knew that before you.
Maybe Stacey, too.

Stacey?

Why do you think she got pregnant?

- Ma's dying, isn't she?
- Yes, and that's what he's waiting for.

He wants the family business.

The only reason you're still alive
is because of your mother.

[Katie fussing]

You won't be long, will you?

No.

[Katie crying]

[door closes]

What's going on, Finn?

Look, I know we've had our problems
in the past.

But we're family.

You're scaring me.

Look, Mum's getting weaker.

Her judgement's gone.

We can't rely on her any more.

So we need to stick together.

Me and you.

What about Rory?

[Rory on recording] As you can see,
Bobby squealed at the first opportunity.

He was a liability.

- [Finn] You k*lled him?
- [Rory] He left us no option.

I'm sorry, Stace.

Rory?

Bobby was just the beginning.

We need to stop him...

before he destroys the family.

[Katie crying]

[softly] Hello.

Shh.

Oh. Hey.

Hey. Shh.

[gasps] What's this?

Oh, no, no, no.

- Oh, dear.
- [stops crying]

Shh.

Oh? Oh?

[Finn snoring softly]

[mobile phone vibrating]

[line ringing]

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Frank?

[Frank] I found your stalker.

- Who is it?
- [Frank] Not over the phone.

Hi.

Well?

I wanted to be with you
when you saw this.

All right.

[clicks]

There is your stalker.

[breathing heavily]

[Marcella whispering] Frank?
I'm at Lawrence's. Someone's been here.

They know about Marcella.

Someone... wants to k*ll me.

[Frank] Keira.

Keira!
