Episode 22 Red Rock

She's a Kiely, David.

And you don't want to be tied to that family

for the rest of your life.

I'm not keeping it, Da. I'm not having the baby.

What did they take?

My laptop with all my college stuff on it.

Don't worry, we'll get the people who did this.

Come on, game's up, Blu-Ray.

-That's your laptop, isn't it?

-I think it is.

What are we going to do now?

Stop her going, that's what.

Adrijan, there is no you and I and there never will be.

Moran, the vulture.

It was kind of like a train wreck in slow motion.

And you're standing on the bank, waving to the driver to stop,

but he can't see you, so he just keeps going and going and going.

-I get it, yeah, you're funny.

-I've been trying to warn you, man.

But you wouldn't listen. What was it?

-IMITATES ADRIJAN:

-"Sexuality is like a fluid thing

"where boundaries get blurred."

-LAUGHS:

-Brilliant. Oh, come on, it's a joke. Kosos,

I like your chat up techniques.

-What's the matter with him?

-He's lost his sense of humour.

You look like you just ran all the way to work.

It's part of my Ironman training.

I'm planning on swimming home.

Do you want me to get the defibrillator?

Why, have you never seen a man warming down before?

MOBILE RINGS

BELL RINGS

BELL RINGS REPEATEDLY

I heard you the first time.

I want to see your boss.

-Superintendent McKay is away today.

-Who else is in charge, then?

-What is it concerning?

-It's concerning a theft.

One of your officers has stolen from me.

-What's he been saying?

-Very little.

We had to suspend questioning last night at his request because

he wanted his beauty sleep.

They wrecked the house, took my jewellery, smashed wedding presents.

-We'll nail them.

-You are needed in reception, Sarge.

-OK.

Keep me informed.

Give it to me. Give me my passport.

I told you. No.

What do you think you're going to achieve?

Cos you can't keep me here forever, you know that.

I'll just book a new flight. I've made up my mind.

-I'm not going to change that.

-Just give to her, Da.

-What? If she wants to go, that's her business.

-You stay out of it.

Why are you doing this, Da?

I'm trying to help you. You'll thank me.

Look, Kate, I know you. You just need time to think about this.

Right now, I don't know whether to scream or slap you.

Are you happy? Couldn't keep your mouth shut.

All I can say is thank God for a family.

Don't know how I would have got through this without yous.

You're doing the right thing, Vin.

-What did he say exactly?

-That you stole money from him.

Well, that's a lie. That's a slander. I could have him for that.

Maybe you should call the police.

-What did Sarge say when you told her?

-Nothing, really.

-She must have said something.

-She just gave that look she does.

The look.

It's like you said, it'll be fine.

Come on, you grab the car keys, I'll grab the jackets.

There's no point heading out now.

She'll be looking for you after this.

If she wants me, she can find me.

You can't run away from this, Paudgey.

-So you think he should stay here?

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Not run away from the truth?

-No, no.

Honesty is the best policy. Well, most of the time.

-What is your problem today?

-I just don't like hypocrites and liars.

Listen, if this is about me slagging you over Nikki,

then get a sense of humour. I warned you not to try it on with her.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe I should have listened to you.

Yeah, you should have.

Then you could have told me how to pull Nikki.

Explain to me how you did it.

What?

I saw you, Sean.

-I saw you.

-Saw what?

-I don't know what you're talking about.

-Yeah. Don't lie.

That's your free hit. Touch me again, I'll lay you out flat.

You're a liar! I saw you. You and Nikki laughing behind my back.

-Ah, no.

-Hey!

People can hear you in reception.

-Do you recognise this phone, Raymond?

-No comment.

-We found it in your flat.

-No comment.

Now, why would you be in possession of

a phone that you can't even identify?

I tell why. I won it at a card game.

A card game.

Now, do you remember who you won it off?

Just some lad. I met him down the pub. A few pints, back to his.

Played a few games, won the phone.

Can you remember where this man lived, Raymond?

Sure, I had a skinful on me at that stage.

Can't remember me name.

-Do you remember this man's name, Raymond?

-Yes.

I remember his name. His name was Brendan.

Brendan.

Or Brian.

Or Bruce. Or Bart.

It definitely had a B in it, yeah.

You're wasting our time now.

Or it might have been a D. No, it began with a B. Or a D.

Thank you. That's so helpful.

OK, do you recognise this tablet, which we recovered from your flat?

Yeah, yeah. I won it in the same game.

Hm, great.

Do you recognise this laptop, which we also recovered from your flat?

I won that too.

This computer has been identified as being stolen, Raymond.

And it was stolen from a member at this station.

And we think that the house might have been targeted because it

was owned by a member of the Garda Siochana.

Now, as I'm sure that you know,

a burglary conviction on top of your record, well...

-..that almost certainly involves time.

-Listen.

-I didn't screw that house.

-I believe you, Raymond.

I really do.

But your long criminal history and your adversarial relationship

with the guards, well, a jury might be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

Why are you stitching me up?

Now, if you could help me out and find the lovely people that

did these burglaries, well,

then I might consider changing your charge to handling stolen goods.

How does that sound, Raymond?

Right. Just give me a minute, yeah?

Let me talk to my brief in private.

Of course.

He asked to speak to his brief in private and now I'm giving him

a little alone time to let him stew.

Do you think he did the burglary?

-If he didn't, I think he might know who did.

-Great.

-Do you have a moment? In private?

-Yeah, sure.

I hope you don't mind me mentioning this to you...

Well, that depends.

I came across Sean and Adrijan fighting this morning.

Over you.

-What you do in your private life...

-Is my own business.

-Yeah.

-But if it's going to affect my crew's work...

-It won't.

It would be easier just to pay him what you owe.

Yeah, White Knight can get that first.

Look, I am going to pay him and I've told him so.

I just need to sort out a little cash flow problem first.

OK.

MOBILE RINGS

-He has me tormented.

-So your phone works, then?

-Maybe you want to try answering from time to time?

-Listen, Tim.

-I'm going to pay you.

-I know you are.

And don't think you can hide behind that uniform.

I told your boss all about it.

She knows what's going on.

-I'll get it for you next week.

-Yeah, yeah.

I've been listening to that for months. I want the money now.

I don't have it.

-Fine. Give me your bank card.

-What?

If you don't have the full amount, I'll take what's in your account.

I'll put that towards the bill.

Not a chance.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Mr Moran. Step back!

You're all the same, watching each other's backs.

I do not want to have to arrest you. Now, step back and calm down.

You should be arresting him! He's the one who robbed from me.

All right, that's enough!

You two, inside.

And Paudge, I want to see you in the boss's office.

I told you I would speak to Garda Brennan about this. And I will.

But as I explained, your grievance belongs in the civil courts.

Unless, of course, you get arrested for public disorder.

And then it will be a criminal matter.

Boyle from Garda Credit Union last week. Your builder today.

-A tenant of yours beaten up by debt collectors.

-Ex-tenant.

I understand how difficult this must be.

But if you're in financial difficulties...

It's just a blip, Sarge. I'm sorting it out.

Well, I hope that's true.

Because you know how exposed being in debt can leave an officer.

Yes, Sarge.

Right, you need to sort out this debt with Moran. And quickly.

Because if he turns up here again and the super's around,

there will be trouble.

Big trouble.

-Katie, what can I do for you?

-I need a new passport.

-I lost the one I had.

-OK, well, I can report the one you lost.

And you just need to fill in this form and return it with four

-signed photographs.

-How long will it take before I get the new passport?

-About ten working days.

-No, I need a new one today.

It has to be today. I've a flight booked and a hotel and everything.

-There is an emergency passport.

-Yeah, that would be perfect.

Well, you need to go to the Department of Foreign Affairs

to prove that it's a genuine emergency, like the death of a

family member, or you need to travel for urgent medical attention abroad.

-Were you meant to be going somewhere nice?

-What?

The flights and the hotel.

-Was it a holiday?

-No.

Here, forget it.

So he's admitted to handling stolen goods and he's given us

a description of the person he got it from.

Not his card-playing buddy.

No, actually, it's a girl.

So he thinks that she gets the gear as payment for small drug

debts and then she flogs them on to him,

-but he claims that he doesn't know her name.

-Do you believe him?

Who knows? But he's given us a great description.

Dark hair, average height and a bit of all right.

Hardly narrows it down.

Oh, and she's a student, but I don't know what she studies,

but she does go to UDC.

That's where Conor goes.

Might be an idea to get Conor to write a list

-of all the friends he's had back at the house recently.

-OK.

-And I'll chase the girl up too.

-Great.

-Nikki, about earlier. We're good, right?

-Of course!

Oh, come here.

Raymond said he'd get me a pirate copy of 50 Shades,

so don't worry, I'll put you down for it.

I've lost my passport, so I can't go out today now after all.

Are they cancelling the whole hen party?

No, we'll probably go next week, or the week after instead.

But I've to go and pay for new flights now

and I've lost the deposit on the hotel.

Well, if there's anything I can do to help...

-There is one thing.

-Sure?

You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really important.

How much do you need?

Two weeks. Maybe three, in advance?

I'm not sure if we have that much here,

but I'll give you what we have.

So that's all that I have, but it's about two weeks.

Thank you.

-What are you doing here?

-Excuse me?

-Where's David?

-How would I know?

I thought you were travelling today.

What's that got to do with you, anyway?

Quite a lot, actually. David's my son.

Where do you think his money comes from?

There's your son's money. Now you can stuff it.

-ANSWERING MACHINE:

-'Hi.'

-David...

'This is David's phone. You know what to do.'

David, give me a call when you get this.

Great. I was just coming to see you.

Great, because I wanted to see you too.

-I just had a bit of a barney with Adrijan.

-Yeah, I heard.

Yeah. Saw us together last night.

I think we should probably cool things down.

-Why? He'll get over it.

-Still, I think it's for the best.

I thought you were having fun.

I was having fun when no-one knew about it,

but now, not so much.

Oh, come on, Westlife, you look like I've just murdered your puppy.

Where do you think this was headed?

Matching rings, a joint Christmas card and a Tracker mortgage?

No.

It was fun. Let's just quit while we're ahead, yeah?

Yeah.

-Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you.

-Nowhere.

Right, um...

I know this might be a needle in a haystack, but I want you both

to head out to UDC and see if you can track this girl down.

We suspect she's been passing on stolen goods that she's been

-receiving in lieu of drug debts.

-Yes, Sarge.

And sort out your lover's tiff.

I'm a sergeant down after Brian.

I don't need you two sulking on top of everything else.

Yes, boss.

You are joking, right?

-No, it's a fair offer.

-A third of what you owe me.

I don't have it.

That's not my problem.

Actually, it is, because I can't give you what I don't have.

You can take this or you can sue me.

Don't think I'm not considering it.

And how long will that take before you see a penny?

And you'll be stumping up for a solicitor as well.

That's not going to be cheap.

I'm offering you cash now.

You can walk out of here with it in your pocket.

It might seem like you're being offered a handful of lemons, but...

I know you. You will make lemonade out of this.

That uniform should come with a mask because this...

is robbery.

You think this isn't hard enough already?

I'm just trying to stop you from doing something you'll regret.

-I don't need you to make me feel any worse than I already do.

-I'm not.

-I'm trying to help you.

-Well, you're not helping.

You're not going to stop me going either.

I'll just get a new passport,

make a new appointment and book new flights.

Look, it will cost me more money.

And I'll be another week living with this. But I'm still going to go.

You're not going to change that. Da...

..I really needed you.

You're just making this worse.

-You know what I hate?

-Yeah, loyalty.

-Cry babies.

You get knocked back by a girl, you take it like a man.

-You don't get angry and start sulking.

-I'm not angry over Nikki.

Yes, you are. But you don't have to worry because me and Nikki are no

-more. So you can stop your whingeing.

-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that my humiliation disturbed your sex life.

I warned you not to try it on with her, you wouldn't listen.

You didn't warn me. Not properly. You could've told me I have no

-chance because you were sleeping with her.

-Like I said, some guys

-just can't take rejection.

-Like I said, it's not about Nikki.

-Then what's it about?

-It's about you. You're the reason I'm angry.

I don't care what she thinks. I hardly know her.

You're supposed to be my friend and have my back.

I trusted you. You let me make a fool out of myself

and then laughed about it.

-I wasn't laughing.

-Oh!

"It was like a big train crash coming closer and closer."

You were laughing.

I take it all went well with Moran?

Let's just say there was a bit of rough trading done and

-he was on the receiving end.

-Property tycoon returns.

We need to get a few tenants into that house and then sit back

and wait for the money to roll in.

Here.

You can still make it.

And...

-..I booked a ticket on the same flight.

-Da, you don't have to.

Katie, stop.

Nothing's changed. I still don't want you going.

But if you are, you're definitely not going by yourself.

I'll be fine.

Well, you'll be fine with me by your side, then, won't you?

-Are you sure?

-Hm.

Paudge!

Just dropping these back. The keys to your house.

-You're a gentleman.

-Thanks for the payment.

It should just about cover the cost of the labour.

But not the materials...

..which I've taken the liberty of stripping out.

I know you, Paudge.

You'll make lemonade out of this.

How did you get on?

We asked around but couldn't find her.

You'd be surprised how many college girls are tall, dark and pretty.

But we spoke to some of the staff to find out

which students might be suspected of drug use.

Good thinking. Could lead us to her if she's collecting for drugs.

They gave us a list of names.

So this is a list of the heaviest drug-users on campus.

My Conor?

Yes, Sarge.

SIREN SOUNDS

He's ripped out the boiler.

How am I going to rent this out now?

-Can't you get another builder to fix it up again?

-Paying with what?

All you need is enough to get them started. Buy yourself a little time.

Moran took every penny I had till payday.

-I can loan you some.

-It would be only throwing good money after bad.

And there's another mortgage payment due on this place next week.

-If I don't get some tenants in here pronto...

-Listen.

I have an uncle who is a builder.

I can call him and ask him to give you a dig-out here.

And how am I going to pay him?

Hey, Ollie!

-What?

-What do you think you're at?

-Nothing.

Nothing.

Do you think I'm stupid?

-Yeah, kind of.

-Did no-one ever tell you no-one likes a smartarse?

No-one ever tell you them trousers are two sizes too small for you, no?

-Right, you're arrested.

-For what? I didn't even do anything.

Don't worry, I'll think of something.

There, I locked up for you.

-Hey, Ollie.

-Tell him you can't arrest me for doing nothing.

You must have been doing something.

I wasn't doing anything. I hadn't even started yet.

What about my bike?

You should have thought about that before you started shooting

-your mouth off.

-You pig.

-What are we going to charge him with?

-Nothing.

I'll take him to the station, kick him out there, and he can walk home.

-You can't just leave the bike here.

-Watch me.

Come on, it will be knicked!

I don't know, Ollie, I'd say there's every chance it won't be touched.

Are you mad? It won't last five minutes around this place.

I tell you what, Ollie. I'll make sure it won't get knicked.

And how are you going to do that?

ENGINE REVS

What do you think you're doing?

BUMPING SOUND

There you go. No-one's going to touch it now.

MOBILE RINGS

Why didn't you answer it?

Great, a private number, now I don't know who called.

I know, it's a big tragedy.

-Why didn't you answer it?

-It's not my job to answer your phone.

Great. I see. Do you know what?

It's not my job to make your espresso either.

OK, I've warned you.

If you two want to act like babies, fine. Do it in the car

where I don't have to listen to you.

I have to finish these arrest reports.

You can do them this evening when you've finished your shift.

BELL RINGS

-What's so urgent that it couldn't wait until this evening?

-Not here.

I'm due my lunch.

See you in the Neptune in ten minutes.

-SIGHS:

-Fine.

-Is it going to be painful?

-I don't know.

I suppose it has to be a bit.

But you'll be all right, like. Won't you?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

People do it all the time. I'll be fine.

Suppose I'll put in an order for a duty-free, then.

Honestly, Keith. I'll be fine.

You don't need to worry.

I just called the hotel. No more free rooms.

But your room has a double and a single. We can share.

-It's just for one night.

-Yeah, that would be nice.

Have you got new pyjamas? Because you're going to need new pyjamas.

We'll get them on the way.

I'll be fine, Da.

Shall we get them at the airport? The airport has everything now,

-doesn't it?

-It's just a day procedure. I won't need new pyjamas.

Should take this.

In case you get cramps afterwards.

Thank you.

I don't know why she gave you the money back.

-She's supposed to be travelling today.

-Yeah.

-So why is she at the Neptune Cafe?

-I don't know, Mum.

Stop saying that.

This is exactly why I insisted that you travel with her.

And she doesn't want me to go with her.

I don't care what she wants, David.

This is about you too, can't you see that?

Do you want to be chained to that family for the rest of your life?

-Have a child growing up feral in the Ridge estate?

-No.

Your brother is going to prison, for God's sake.

Perjuring himself to protect you.

And I know, and I'm grateful.

-Well, you have some way of showing it, David.

-Mum, Katie's OK.

She's not like the others.

I don't care if she's curing cancer, David.

You are not having a baby with her.

Now take this, and make sure she gets on that flight.

-And how do you think I can do that?

-I don't know, David, just do it.

So?

Tommy, his name is on a list of students

the staff suspect of drug use.

Students have been experimenting with drugs since Adam and Eve.

And I seem to recall you even had a toke yourself once or twice

before you turned into Juliet Bravo.

How many names are on that list?

-Nine.

-Exactly.

Only nine.

That's not every student who smokes a joint,

or takes the odd tablet of ecstasy.

When we ask them about drug use,

those were the nine names they suggested.

The nine top names.

No. No way, not Conor.

He's not that stupid.

Have you noticed his behaviour recently?

-Erratic and moody.

-Of course, he's erratic and moody.

He's a teenager with a broken bloody leg.

And what about the house being robbed?

We were the only house in the street to be done,

despite having an alarm, which Conor had conveniently left off.

You're beginning to sound like a conspiracy theorist.

What burglar is going to choose as their only house to rob

the one that's alarmed and that's owned by a guard?

Maybe they didn't know it was owned by a guard.

This is mental!

-You really think Conor robbed our house?

-I don't know.

Maybe.

Or it could have been one of his friends. Somebody he brought home.

But I do know this.

If I was investigating this burglary, and Conor wasn't my son,

I'd be hauling him in for questioning right now.

So what do we do?

-What if someone saw you driving over the bicycle?

-No-one saw me.

-Yes, but if they did, you could be reported.

-Ollie's a little scrote.

They should be giving me a medal and a ticker tape parade for

putting manners on him.

Listen, I know what happened to your house is a pain.

But you cannot let it get you down. Things are not as bad as you think.

No, they're worse.

Well, maybe if you talked to MABS

or someone like that, they could help you out.

Not unless they're giving away free money.

But you know, moping and feeling sorry for yourself

-won't make a difference.

-Thanks for the advice Pollyanna.

Look, I'm just trying to help you out here, Paudge.

Why don't we draw up a plan together?

Work out a repayment schedule for the bank and get them off your back.

-Won't make any difference.

-Of course it could.

-You're not listening.

If I don't get tenants into that house and money rolling in and

screwed royally,

I've a collection of maxed-out credit cards,

enough letters from the solicitors to wallpaper the station and

a first-name relationship with the lads in debt retrieval at the bank.

If I show up at a reschedule payment,

they'll think it's April first.

And the worst bit, I could lose the house.

Well, if it's such a mess, don't you want to just get rid of it?

Not that house. Mammy's house.

I put it up as collateral against the mortgage on the rental.

Wait here.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Conor? Call me when you get this.

He said he would be home all day.

-Do you want me to go and talk to him now?

-No, we should do it together.

-Tonight then. I'll pick you up straight after work.

-OK.

-I hope you're wrong about this.

-Me too.

This is just going to prey on my mind all day.

-I've got 25 minutes until I'm due back.

-Come on then, get in!

-Hey, good news.

-That'll be a change.

I just spoke to my uncle and explained what had happened.

And he reckons that the house won't be such

a big job to get it all fixed up for you again.

But I told you, I can't afford to pay him.

I'll give him enough to get the materials to get him started.

And he's agreed to let you get a tenant in first before

receiving the balance.

-I can't take money off you like that.

-Of course, you can.

I want you to have it.

Sure, it's only sitting in the bank doing nothing.

I take it you're not familiar with the debt retrieval boys.

I know you'd do the same for me.

I could hug you now...but people would talk.

You'll be fine. You'll get through this.

Ange, he's in here. Ange!

Conor! Conor! Come on!

Conor, can you hear me? Conor!

Ange, what's wrong with him? Is he OK?

Conor!

What is it? What's he on?

-Heroine.

-What?!

Oh, Jesus!

-Should we get him to hospital?

-No, it's not a hard trip.

-What?!

He's not about to die.

-So what should we do?

-Make sure he doesn't choke.

-And she's certain she doesn't want keep the baby?

-Yeah.

What am I going to do?

-Go with her.

-Like Mum wants?

-Forget Mum.

This has got nothing to do with her.

This is your responsibility too.

Katie shouldn't be going on her own, and you should be there.

I know but...she doesn't want me to go, like.

Fine. Do what Katie wants.

Or do what Mum wants. Or do whatever is easiest for you.

No, you're right.

I should man up.

David, it's not about manning up.

This is your baby too.

No matter what happens.

Stop waiting for someone to tell you what to do.

Think about what it is you want.

Katie, love, the taxi's here.

Don't tell me you're coming too.

-Just to the airport. Then I'll get the bus home.

-Here, Katie.

Get yourself some kind of present or something.

What kind of a present is she supposed to buy?

I don't know, like, DVDs or chocolates or something.

I don't know. Something nice.

Thanks.

Take care, right?

You know I'm only gone one day, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, but I'll be thinking of you, like.

-Hey.

-Hey.

Did he say how soon before he'd begin the work?

Yeah, he said he'd send someone out to make

a survey by the end of the week.

That's unreal. I can start advertising for tenants.

-We should go out and celebrate this.

-I thought you were broke.

Yeah, but you're not.

-MOBILE RINGS

-Hang on a second. I'll take this.

Yeah? That's me.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll check that out, thanks.

So, when you were locking up the house, did you make sure

-everything was properly closed before you set the alarm?

-Yeah.

That was the alarm company.

They're getting a reading from one of the windows.

OK, I'll cover for you if you want to go.

I won't be long.

How long are you going to keep this up?

-Keep what up?

-The sulking. And the silent treatment.

Do you honestly not get it?

I get that you're acting like a baby, yeah.

All you had to do was say you were sorry. That's it. But you couldn't.

Even after I said how angry I was. How I felt you'd betrayed me.

You still think that it's my fault.

Well, if it stops you whingeing, I'm sorry.

You know, Sean?

When people say Sean is vain and egotistical, I stand up for you.

I say, "No, he's not. You just need to get to know him.

"He's funny, he's loyal, he's a good friend."

But do you know what I think?

I think they are right and I was wrong.

You don't have to do this.

-It's not too late to change your mind.

-Don't.

Just think about it. A little baby.

We'd all love it.

I'm being serious. Don't start.

You'd be a great mother.

No, I told you, I can't do it.

Course you can.

I can't.

I'd be completely on my own. I can't bring up a child on my own.

-But you wouldn't be on your own.

-Stop saying that.

I promise you.

I don't believe you.

You'll just leave, and then what will I do?

I won't leave. Not this time.

But you always leave. You always do.

Not this time.

I'll be here for you, I promise. We all will, won't we, Vin?

100%.

We'll love that baby and we'll do everything we can to help.

Just think about it.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

OK, this is ridiculous. One of us has to be the grown-up.

So I'll do it. I'm sorry, Sean.

See, it's not that hard to apologise.

Now who's sulking?

SIREN SOUNDS

-What's that for?

-That car. Broke a red light. Let's go.

-It was amber, Sean.

-No, it was definitely red. Now, come on.

Let's go.

-It's not all about you.

-No, but this is.

You know that I want go back to the station.

Here we are, wasting time.

-Pretending this car broke a red light.

-Not wasting time.

-It broke the light.

-I'll play your little games if it makes you happy.

Can you show me your licence, please, sir?

Can you step out of the vehicle, please, sir?

Sir...

sir, step out of the vehicle.

I'm not going to ask you again. Step out of the vehicle.

Step out of the vehicle.
