Episode 26 Red Rock

-Did Siobhan get off all right?

-Yeah, as far as I know.

-Can't go there again.

-Right.

Do you think I should?

Same as the last fella. Here.

-Let's get this straight.

-You pay off a guard to look the other way?

What you did, promising me this place, it's what got me through.

Well, you'll have to give us something.

He had a beard, right?

OK. Will you sit yourself down?

My stuff...um...

Your dad's bringing it in.

Stephen was supposed to have cleared this stuff up.

Some things never change.

It's going to be OK.

I'll go and give your dad a hand.

THEY LAUGH

Wait. You sure no-one's here?

Yeah.

Just me and you, eh? Moving in together.

RATTLING

What's that?

Mum?

Claire?

It's nothing. Come here.

Sorry. I just need this for work.

Can we do this?

Course we can.

They're going to hate it. My lot and yours.

So?

World War 3 is going to break out.

Pretty much, yeah.

Come here.

He's been hassling me about the contract.

So stall him!

You need to tell him!

And I will. When I'm ready.

OK.

Michael?

Hey.

Hey...

Still got you doing the donkey work, has she?

Thought you'd still be in bed.

Yeah. So, you lot around at the Pier later?

Why?

Well, you've got some purchase orders you have to sign.

You can do that.

It's OK. I'll take care of it.

-Cheers.

-Sure you will.

Claire...

I don't actually need Mum to sign anything.

Me and Katie, we're making an announcement.

We're moving in for definite this time.

Well? I thought you were on board.

Yeah. Yeah, no, I am.

Good, cos the Kielys are going to be there, so...

It's not exactly going to help your case if the Kielys see me there.

Come on.

I'll see what I can do, all right?

Nice one. Cheers.

Come here. Have you seen Siobhan around?

No.

Why?

Thought maybe I jumped the gun a bit.

Did she ever get in touch with you when you were in prison?

No. She's old ground - you don't need to go back to that.

Ah, you're probably right.

I'll see you later.

Yeah.

Sharon, settle a bet.

Rule 7.3 of the Garda code?

She knows. She always knows the number.

I-I don't know.

-She's pulling your leg.

-Too late.

Only persons employed in plain clothes duties can wear a beard

and only with approval of their divisional officer.

Are you two in this together?

Nice doing business with you.

What happened? The Garda Handbook is your bedtime reading.

You know the damn thing off by heart!

I'm not a performing monkey.

So what's the latest, then? Any word from the costume shops?

No, nothing yet.

And? What else? We're exploring other avenues, yeah?

Er, well, I suppose we're focusing on those right now.

And what if it's a dead end? What's plan B?

Um...

The 50 Shades crowd do love uniforms.

Have you heard of these furries?

They go around dressing up as animals.

You do read the papers, I take it?

That's where I heard about the furry yokes.

This is not dress-up.

OK, people get killed when scum start impersonating guards.

Impersonating a guard...

I do wonder sometimes if we have a few of those around here.

Take that back!

Come and see me when you have something that can help us

find this scrote.

How have you been feeling?

Can I get you a drink?

No, thanks.

I know being on remand can be tough

but I'm sure you'll soon settle into...

I just want to talk about the case, if that's OK.

I just want to get this sorted as soon as possible.

I'm not sure it's quite that simple.

Why not? I didn't do it. So...

Maybe I will have that drink.

Look, what about the texts to Brian's phone?

That's something, right? It's got to lead somewhere.

They didn't find anything.

Yeah, no, but they can triangulate the signal.

The burden of proof is on the prosecution. Our best bet is

to concentrate on discounting the existing evidence against you.

How can there be any evidence if I didn't do it?

How?

Can I ask you something?

That's what I'm here for.

Do you think I did it?

That's not my concern.

Ethically I can't ask a client about their guilt or innocence.

Look, Claire, I'm not looking for the lawyer speak. I'm asking you.

Do you think I killed Brian?

HE SIGHS

It's just compound interest, Keith. It's not that difficult.

Well, can you not just tell me how much they owe?

How's business?

Like teaching a monkey to tap dance.

Here, what you after?

Nothing...just...I might have a client for you if you're interested.

The devil's work, I thought you said it was.

Yeah, I know, but she's a mate.

Ooh. Which one?

She's trying to go back to college.

The fees are a bit steep.

Well, if the girl needs help with her education we'll give her

a dig out. That's what this business is about.

I told her that I'd bring youse down the Pier pub to meet her.

-No. She comes here.

-I already told her.

Well, untell her. If she's such a mate, she'll understand.

Come on, Bridge, will you?

Not like you to be peddling, Katie.

What, you don't want free advertising now?

Hey, Ma, I dunno. Those students are thicks, like.

They're always looking for the yoyos.

She might spread the word around.

Yeah. Tell her we'll be there.

All right.

BIRDSONG

Wasn't sure you'd come.

Why am I here?

Why do you think?

I'm sorry. Look, sit down, will you?

Since I got out...

It's not an excuse, but everything's just been too much.

My mum trying to be normal...

I took it out on you.

I'm sorry, too.

You know I wanted to visit...

Look, it doesn't matter.

Clean slate, yeah?

Forget the past.

And then what?

That's up to you.

We all make mistakes, don't we?

Even you?

Oh, yeah.

I'm not making one now, am I?

-No?

-No.

Either nobody knows anything or nobody's talking.

We're looking for a needle in a barn full of haystacks.

Look who it is! Billy the Bag.

Go on.

Billy the Bag. You're a sight for sore eyes.

I don't know where this stuff came from!

I'm just minding it for someone.

Relax. We're not arresting you.

We're just looking for a bit of information.

That's what you lot always say.

No, we mean it, this time.

We're looking for a guard who's been extorting money

from, well, people like you.

After one of your own, is it? What did he look like?

Mid 30s, 6'2" with a beard.

Yeah, there could be a guy.

Now, he doesn't come around here,

but he's been throwing his weight around a few of my other spots.

Yeah. Where are they?

Do you think I'm going to tell you?

I don't suppose you got his number?

I don't know...

Does your memory need jogging?

V-something. 15.

V15.

He what?

Fired me. As of now, I no longer represent your son.

That doesn't make sense. Why would he?

He was so keen to see you today.

He asked me if I thought he was innocent.

What did you say?

That what I think doesn't matter.

He's upset. Out of sorts.

I know, I get it.

Look, if he reconsiders, give me a call. He needs legal representation.

Don't hang about. Get someone else if you have to.

I have to go.

Thanks. I'll get him to change his mind.

OK.

Can I get you anything else?

No. No, thanks, just the bill.

OK.

Conor, I've just been talking to Claire. What's going on?

-What'd she say?

-You can't fire her!

Well, I can't work with someone who thinks I'm guilty.

That doesn't leave you many options, does it?

We need to keep our friends on side, Conor!

What else have we got?

I cant go back in there, OK? It was hell. Every minute of it.

You don't have to.

Trust me, Claire's the best.

But she won't tell you everything's rosy when it's not.

That's the kind of person you want on your team.

If you want to stay out of prison, I suggest you find her and apologise.

What if they don't show up?

What if they do? World War 3, I'm warning you.

We've got to do it.

Good job we're not eating.

What's he doing here?

I asked him.

Where's this mate of yours?

I knew it.

We have to talk to you all.

No. No way.

What's going on?

A bleeding ambush.

We wanted you all here under one roof.

Katie? Spit it out, will you?

Me and Katie...

..we're moving in together.

He's probably got it wrong.

V15?

Are we done?

You stay right there, sunshine.

We'll take him down the station. You'll be grand.

We don't know he's got that number right.

Billy the Bag isn't gifted in the brain department.

It'll be wrong.

OK.

No. Not happening.

Over my dead body.

It is happening. Luke needs a family.

BOTH: He's got one!

I thought this was supposed to be a cause for celebration.

Yeah, most people pop a bottle of bubbly or something.

We're not like most people.

This is a bad idea.

Are you saying my daughter's not good enough?

Are you saying you approve?

I'm saying David's punching above his weight, all right.

I don't have to listen to this.

Yes, you do, Mum!

Sorry I'm late. I was busy.

No. I'm not staying here with him here.

Dad, please.

OK, I'll see what I can do.

Claire, can I talk to you for a sec?

Conor, now's not a good time.

Please - it'll just be a minute.

Look, I'm sorry, OK? I freaked out.

I know you're the best and I just really need your help right now.

Please just give me a second chance.

I know it's tough.

Trust me, I watched Michael struggle with the same thing.

I just can't go back to prison.

Please, I can't even think about it.

You're a recovering drug addict who was being blackmailed.

The optics aren't great.

So you have to work with me if I'm going to work for you.

OK?

Claire?

Yeah, I got your text. What's up?

David and Katie are moving in together.

I'd say Mum's delighted.

I'll see you Friday. My office.

-OK?

-Thanks.

Oh! Let's go.

No.

I need this like a hole in the head.

Look, everything's under control in the office, all right?

David needs you here.

I'm sick of this.

I can't help it if the Kielys don't care enough to be here.

We're coming back for Katie and Luke - no-one else.

There'll be no forgive and forget.

I'm not asking you to forgive me.

I am so sick of this. This has gone on long enough.

Either it ends here today or we leave Red Rock for good.

You'll be lucky to see Luke every other Christmas.

We're going to live together and we're going to be a proper family.

I don't care where that is.

Come on, guys, sit down.

-Hey.

-You made it.

Yeah, just about. Sorry I'm late.

Why are you running away?

Do you know what I've been through because of you?

Or do you just not care?

Can I go outside?

You ran in here.

Hiding away like a little kid!

Why don't you grow up?

Say nothing. Cos that's your game, isn't it?

You stood by, you let that scumbag blackmail us.

Or was it all your idea?

Get out.

Now.

Do you want me to call the police?

This is all your fault...

..and I won't forget that.

Well? Find any pervs with a cop fetish?

Not exactly. We did get an epaulette number.

It's from this station.

Well, that's all we need.

It gets worse.

It's Brian's.

I can't believe you're all grown up and setting up house.

I'm just sorry I missed the family fireworks!

No, you're not.

Michael stepped in. Kept Patricia on side.

Right, whose round is it?

Well, seeing as they're free, this is on me.

I thought that was over.

What do you mean?

I mean, I know she hurt you last time.

I don't want you walking into that again.

We're moving on, like you.

Yeah, I bet.

What's your problem?

No problem. I'm just looking out for you.

You're all right, thanks.

Think about it, will you?

She didn't give you the time of day...

I was in prison.

Yeah, and now that you're out, and Harbour Haulage is all yours,

she's sniffing around like she's all madly in love.

Come on, Mike, she's definitely up to something.

David, relax. Give her a chance.

Yeah, take it easy, lads, OK?

She's bad news.

Look, I appreciate your concern, but she's the one, David.

She's the one.

I told you, you don't need to see that rubbish.

I need to know what people are saying about me.

I'm a cold-blooded killer.

Apparently.

"That Tyrell fella should be locked up for life.

"Can't believe he's walking the streets on bail."

Ignore it.

"Unbelievable. The killer's mum is still on duty after her son murdered her colleague."

Enough.

It's never going to go away.

When I go for a job, meet a girl, they're just going to read this.

You going to see your lecturer today?

No. They all think I did it.

Get yourself to college, back to normal.

Look, Mum, you don't get it, do you?

This is normal.

The sooner I realise it, the better.

I liked Conor, too. I don't want to believe it myself, but come on, he's charged with murder!

You can't trust him.

Just...promise me you'll stay away.

Yeah, OK.

We wrestled a statement out of Billy the Bag.

Says he's certain about the number.

And we thought he was dead and buried.

Like bleeding Lazarus, that one.

V15.

I saw that number every day for more years than I care to remember.

So, if someone is running around in Brian's uniform, it's going to spread like wildfire online.

That's the last thing we need.

I'll check with Garda stores, see what they have to say.

They should've got Brian's uniform back. What about Jules?

She should've burned them.

Rory, will you make sure this is all updated on Pulse?

Paudge can take care of that.

On it.

It never ends, does it?

It has, Sharon.

Hey, I'm trying to make you breakfast here.

Yeah, this is breakfast.

Do you have to go into work today?

Yeah, I do. Yeah.

You're the boss now.

You could go on the mitch and have no-one to answer to...

Don't mind him.

All right?

-Coffee?

-Nah.

My brother is not a morning person.

Conor feels the world is against him,

and when he reads that poison...

Oh, they're just sad, pathetic trolls, with nothing better to do.

He should ignore them.

Easier said than done, eh?

You don't think that he might...

No. No, he won't.

Well, he came in yesterday,

and he was just in such a bad way, I don't know, I...

Are you sure?

No. I'm not.

But we need some sort of break, eh?

I could go in and talk to him, if you want?

Yeah, thanks, but I don't think that's the best idea right now.

-Right.

-He just needs some space.

I wish it would...

I wish everyone would leave him alone.

Tell him... that I was thinking about him.

I said I was going to take care of those contracts.

Yeah, I'm just filling in. You seemed busy with Siobhan.

Well, don't expect any overtime.

Come here, has Claire had a chance to draw up those new contracts yet?

Which ones?

We need to make this official - me taking over here.

Yeah, I did ask her.

So what's the hold-up?

There's none, love.

But don't put pressure on her. It's not good for the baby.

No, I won't.

She's worried that she's not quite on top of things.

She seems fine.

Yeah, she does. But, listen, we've got plenty of time, yeah?

Sure.

Hm.

Well, Jules says Brian took both uniforms with him

but she only got one back when they returned his things.

So looks like it's not a mock-up. It's got to be his uniform.

Bet you he sold it to one of his skanger mates.

A real uniform? They'd pay big time.

And he'd need the money.

And no conscience to stop him.

What's that?

I went through every inch of the evidence on file.

His wallet was packed full of receipts.

And this was one of them.

It's a dry-cleaning ticket... for a uniform.

RINGING

RINGING

Yeah. What do you want?

To talk.

Yeah, well, I don't want to listen to you.

Something tells me youse ain't in here for a stubborn stain.

A Garda uniform.

Left here several weeks ago.

Oh, that auld thing. That was sitting there for months.

Your man came back and collected it eventually.

And you gave it out without the ticket? Are you mad?

People lose tickets all the time.

If it's been sitting here and they have a sob story,

I usually give it out.

What did he look like?

Tall. About 40, I'd say. Salt-and-pepper-like hair.

Fancied himself. It was the same fella that dropped it in,

I'm pretty sure.

It wasn't him and you know it.

How would I know? I only clean the clothes.

Are you sure about that?

Look, I don't know,

whoever it was, maybe they saw the dead Garda on the TV,

chanced their arm.

Oh. We never said anything about a dead guard.

Cheers, thanks.

Thanks.

No bother.

I swear one day I'm going to move all his clocks forward ten minutes.

Yeah, I think it runs in the family.

You did ask for ice, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah, cheers.

God, this is weird.

Yep.

It wasn't my idea.

Not that it's a bad one. Just, you know...

Yeah.

So, how long have you and David been together?

Few years. Well, on and off.

We're just coming back together now...

I know, I know, I'm late.

Look, you can waste your time giving out to me or you can help me

with this atomic nappy.

Here, just give him to me.

Hey, you look great.

Thanks.

Quite the family man.

Yeah, I am.

It was a mistake.

A stupid mistake.

I was drunk.

Not that drunk.

They can't find out.

Do you think I want Michael to find out?

Find out what?

I don't get it.

I told you, didn't I?

Told her what?

It was supposed to be a surprise.

Yeah. Siobhan wanted to throw you a surprise party,

but I said you didn't like parties.

How long does it take to check a log book?

Have fun?

Er, no. Not really.

Just...unnecessary drama.

What about?

Doesn't matter.

I just need people to be straight with me right now.

And...why is there a fresh box of tyre valves in the warehouse?

We need new caps on all the vehicles.

Yeah, I know that, but why are they from Hyland Tyres?

I didn't realise. I'll call Joe.

You know his lads couldn't tie their own shoelaces.

You know what? I'll do it.

The suppliers need to know who's in charge of this company.

Michael, put the phone down.

Mum, come on. Do I run this company or don't I?

No, Michael, you don't.

Come on! Charging me with dressing up as a Garda?

It was just a bit of craic!

Sure half of the town will be doing it come Halloween!

You've been extorting money from people, and don't play dumb.

Out!

You've no proof.

We'll take our chances.

Here. See that? That's an official Garda uniform.

Do you understand how serious that is?

Yeah, you think it's a bit of craic?

Extortion or not, we could send you down for five years.

I've been through hell for that uniform. Hell.

Sharon...

Is she the full shilling?

Shut it.

And I've nearly died because of being in the blue. Oh, yeah.

You think it's something you just put on, keep you warm...

Well, let me tell you, it's something you become.

It changes you.

You... You wouldn't have a clue.

When I wear this, I feel strong.

I know what's wrong, what's right.

I'm proud. I'm proud to wear it.

What you have done is put every guard at risk.

Do you understand?

I said. Do. You. Understand?

Get him out of here.

DOORBELL

OK, OK. I'm coming.

What are you doing here?

Come in, why don't you?

I miss you.

I know how hard this is for you

and I just I thought I could make you feel better.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? What are you doing?

I thought you'd want to...

No, just go... Go.

All those things that you said, I know they're true.

What's happened to you... This whole mess...

It's all my fault.

Just get out my face! I don't want to hear it.

You misunderstood.

You can manage day-to-day but you only get the business when I retire.

I didn't misunderstand. I heard what I was told.

It was crossed wires.

Don't give me that "crossed wires"! You knew what you were doing.

You always know what you're doing.

The offer was sincere when I made it.

Was this a set-up from the start?

I'm sorry, I just don't think you're ready yet.

Yeah? Promise me Harbour Haulage so I'd take the fall for David.

I would never do that to you, Michael.

You'd do anything you had to.

-You're a heartless old...

-Michael!

She lied to me about Harbour Haulage.

She's keeping it for herself.

You knew?

She knew nothing.

Claire?

Leave her alone.

Claire?

I knew.

How could you?

I'm sorry...

I know I'm pathetic and you don't want to hear this, but...

I do, actually.

I know you're not capable of killing someone.

I'm sorry - that's probably no good to you.

It's more than you think.

I wish you'd stop looking at me like that.

You know, that time in the caravan...when I...

Yeah, well, I didn't think I'd end up in hospital.

I thought somebody'd find me.

I just wanted someone to help, you know?

I thought...

I just wanted somebody to tell me that they were there for me

or something, I don't know.

Just for once.

So don't start thinking that you're on your own, OK?

Cos you're not.

I may be a mess, but I'm here.

I thought you didn't want to.

They all knew.

Laughing behind my back every day

when I went off to work like an idiot.

Look, you don't want to burn your bridges, Michael.

What if you're wrong?

What if she really does want to give you the business when you're ready?

Did you know? Is that what you and David were talking about?

No!

Jesus Christ!

I swear to you!

All that party stuff made no sense.

I'm supposed to be the smart one.

I can't believe I didn't see it myself.

See what?

He said I should stay away from you.

He said that?

You're only back on the scene because of the business.

The snake! He's a lying scumbag!

Maybe he's right.

You know that's not true.

David doesn't want me around. He's trying to manipulate you.

Why would he do that? He's looking out for me!

He's covering his arse.

What for?

Look, if you've got something to say, then say it...

otherwise that's it - we're done. Finished.

He doesn't want Katie to find out.

Find out what?

Tell me!

Let's see how he likes the uniforms in Wheatfield.

They should throw the book at him.

Knocking-off time already?

He's in there, is he?

Yep.

What can I say? A-one, Sharon.

Please, anything but that.

Seriously, though - impressive work.

I don't know. We're lucky Billy the Bag remembered the number.

The harder you work, the luckier your get.

It's over now, you know that?

Brian.

Yeah.

It's just like seeing a ghost.

You don't believe in ghosts.

Here.

How the hell did you...

Come with me.

Go on. Do it.

Get rid of him.

Have you heard from Michael?

No. Why?

I can't get hold of him.

Did you try Siobhan?

I'm worried he's going to do something to break his parole.

Why would you think that?

I'll explain later.

Well, we've news. We've a meeting with the banks tomorrow.

We're going to buy a house.

That's great news.

It's amazing.

DOOR SLAMS

Get off him!

-What are you doing?

-You slept with her!

-What are you talking about?

-You know what I'm talking about. Siobhan.

It was her?

You know?

Don't you ruin this for me! There's no secrets between us.

You're a lying piece of scum. You don't want any secrets?

-Why don't you tell her everything, David?

-Don't!

-Tell her, David. Go on, tell her.

-Shut up!

Tell me what?

Tell her, David. Go on.

Shut up, Michael. Katie, get out.

Tell me what?

He was there...

Michael, I swear to God...

The night Darren died...

It wasn't just me.

We did it together.
