Episode 5 Red Rock

Leave her alone. Let's go.

Touch her again, I'll rip your lungs out.

Your brother has a problem.

It might not be long before this happens again.

Do you know what you've done, buying drugs for my son?

I saw... I'm not interested in anything you have to say.

No-one is.

Any time, OK?

Look, listen, I'm really sorry I couldn't get back to you.

Yeah. It's OK.

Is there something wrong?

No, I just...

You said I could call you any time.

Call you? Look, of course you can, you know you can.

So how are you doing?

Rachel?

I was thinking that maybe we could meet?

You want to see me?

Yeah.

Half an hour, though. That's it.

Rach. Shouldn't you be getting back to school?

Um...

Yeah, yeah. Listen, of course, you know where I am.

Just let me know when.

OK?

OK.

Rach?

So you're saying I'm in the wrong.

Maybe if you didn't watch her every move.

So I should just ignore the fact that she bunks off school?

She's a teenager. It's what they do.

Oh! I'll just tell the school that, so.

They should be fine with it.

Ease off, Dad.

No detours, OK?

Rach...

You fancy doing something tonight?

I'm not allowed out, remember?

You can consider yourself officially un-grounded.

OK. What do you reckon, pizza, bowling?

We're not 12, Dad.

Gemma's going to the cinema tonight.

I told her I couldn't go, but if I'm not grounded...

Unless you really want to go bowling.

No. Go. Have fun.

Thanks.

Sir, sir... I understand, but it's not down to us to find your car

just because you can't remember where you parked it.

PHONE RINGS

ANOTHER PHONE RINGS

PHONES CONTINUE RINGING

Hey.

Can we sit?

What with Mammy at home, you here,

and now Nikki in charge of the ranch,

I can't turn around without some woman telling me what to do.

No regrets, then.

I'll get back to you on that one.

I can guarantee Westlife is in for an easy ride from now on,

the jammy git.

With Nikki? Why do you say that?

You'll never make detective at this rate, Sharon.

You didn't know?

Didn't know what?

Paudge...

You done it yet? Done what?

The report for Sarge? The burglaries on Windbrook Estate.

The one we told her we'd already finished?

She's off sick today. Don't panic.

So that's a no, then? Yeah.

Oh, come on, I don't want Nikki to think I'm slacking -

and we both know you love writing reports.

Get off my back, will you?

It's your thing!

Your hair... Looks different.

It grew.

It's nice.

How's your sister?

Still annoying as ever.

She's started nicking my make-up!

What's your mum told her about...

She told her you were working away.

She was in a dancing competition last week.

She's actually getting really good.

Can you send that picture?

If I give you my number?

Why didn't you write back to me?

I couldn't....

Dad, why are you here?

You and Lulu... You two... you mean the world to me...

I've done nothing wrong. It's not fair. I should be here.

Look, I'm sorry. It's just I miss you so much.

Dad...

Look, the whole thing...it's just a pack of lies. It's a mess.

You know it's not true, don't you?

I didn't do what they're saying. I couldn't.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Dad, you need to go. I should get back to school.

You've got ages left... What the hell do you think you're doing?!

Get away from her!

Could you go any slower?

With any luck, Skip will be in tomorrow.

Thanks, Mark, will you cover the front desk this afternoon?

OK. Right, Sharon and Paudge? You're on call out duty.

PHONE RINGS Sharon, will you get that?

My first day working as DI - am I boring you already?

A little.

He's joking. Right, well, you and Sean are on points duty.

Where? Corner of Edgewater and Shore, next to the roadworks.

Where they're tearing up the old gas pipes?

Jackhammers going off all hours.

Wouldn't want you nodding off now, would we?

A disturbance on Mill Avenue.

OK. You two take the car.

You guys can make your own way down.

Nice one. Angela mentioned you had a report done for her?

Er, yeah...

Well, I'd like to see that.

And is that an order, "boss"?

On my desk. Soon as you like.

Would you consider rehab again? We can't afford it.

Methadone? Yeah. No.

We've talked about it. I know people on it, though.

And I know a lot of people who never get off it.

She's right.

Without the infrastructure, only a small percentage come out clean.

There must be other options.

Naltrexone.

I thought you needed to be clean for that. You do.

Great. So get him off drugs to put him back on drugs?

It's an inhibitor.

It blunts the effects of the heroin, takes away the high.

It'll make a relapse less likely -

but I have to warn you, it's not an easy fix.

What is?

If I get clean, you give me this Nax...

Naltrexone. Yes.

Seven days.

There or thereabouts.

I'll do it.

Son...

I'll do it. I'm going to do it.

What you banging on about? It's your fault.

Excuse me...

I-I think...

I'll call an ambulance.

Come on now, let's sit down.

Listen, they're my kids, too!

Don't you ever go near my daughters! Mum!

Get away. Now. Go.

Don't touch me!

What's he been saying to you?

Nothing! For God's sake, love! Mum!

I am not your love.

Don't you ever call me that.

Jules, will you calm down?

Why should I? Worried you might make a spectacle of yourself?

Too late! Enough!

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you.

Leave him alone!

Jules... Mam, leave him alone!

Get back, get back.

You. Don't. Get back. Get back. You over there. Now.

Leave him alone! OK, sweetheart.

Mam, I had to call, I'm so sorry...

Don't worry sweetheart, it's OK.

This fella, he's a pushover.

Are you OK? She will be. We don't need you here.

Someone called the station about a disturbance.

Yeah, yeah - they sent Chuckle Brothers!

No, you don't, Brian.

Come on, love, come on.

Mel, come on, we're going.

See what you've done!

See what your lies have done to my family? Don't move.

When an officer of An Garda Siochana gives you an order, you follow it.

What is it with you?

Step back.

Just can't let up, can you?

I'm warning you...one more step.

You'll regret this. You are going to regret this.

There you go now, a few sugars in there, should sort you out.

How did you hurt your cheek?

I was holding on to me bag and the handle broke.

I bashed me face off the wall.

He took my wedding ring.

Noirin lost her husband recently.

Can you describe the fella who attacked you?

A red tracksuit top. Jeans. Dark trainers.

Not bad.

For an oul one, you mean?

What's your address?

18, Edgewater Avenue. Flat 4.

And where did the attack happen?

South Street. By the market.

He ran off towards the estate.

OK. Leave it with me.

And there you have it. No drills, no paperwork.

Everyone's a winner.

Lads.

Give Nikki a shout, there, will you?

You know the drill. Take off your belt, please.

Your belt.

Address?

Flat 7. 83, Roarty Street.

Empty your pockets.

Anything else?

Search me.

Start at the bottom.

Sharon.

It's true.

I hear congratulations are in order?

You know where you can shove that, don't you?

Take him to Interview Room 2, please.

I was sorry to hear about McKay.

But... Every cloud, eh?

What happened?

He was having a row with his wife.

Yeah, and?

It was more of a fight... The daughter was there.

Things got a bit heated.

Did you have to bring him in here?

You should have sorted this on the street.

I tried... I'm sorry.

Look, he makes my blood boil every time I see his smug face,

but you keep it together.

I was with my daughter. We've barely spoken since I left.

But then your wife showed up.

It was a private family matter.

Things got a bit out of hand. But we were sorting things out.

So I hear.

Jules was all for planting a chair in your head,

until Garda Cleere stopped her.

Yeah. She saved me.

I owe her.

Heard you were in Kerry?

Oh. Keeping tabs on me?

That's sweet.

How long you have you been back?

HE SIGHS

Six days.

And in that time have you had any contact with Rachel Reid

or any member of the Reid family?

What do you think?

Smells the same. The old place.

Bail was posted in June.

Big shoes to fill, McKay's.

How's that working out for you?

You wouldn't want a black mark so early on, would you?

I mean, if I were to make an official complaint...

We're going to talk to your wife

and then we'll decide whether to pursue things.

I'm feeling generous so I'm going to keep you out of that cell.

Nikki's after you, she wants you to go with her to the Reids.

I've to call Brian's wife.

You all right? Yeah...fine.

Six days? And you're only just telling us about it now?

I swear to you the first we knew about it was today.

Shouldn't he be on a computer system somewhere?

You should be tracking him.

Except that is illegal, Dad. Calm down.

He was rowing with his wife when we brought him in.

You arrested him? What, you mean he's over there now?

Who?

Brian's back, Rachel.

Don't you worry, sweetheart. I won't let him near you.

He was involved in a domestic with his wife and his daughter.

Has Brian tried to contact you?

You think he would?

He knows the risk, but... I wouldn't put it past him.

Let him try!

For the cramps. For the head.

For the pukes.

For the runs. Oh, God...

He wants to do this.

You have to watch him round the clock.

We need more mouthwash.

We'll have to talk to Stephen.

Oh, and he has a match today.

I said I'd be there.

You'll still make it, if you get a move on.

He'll be missing you screaming from the sidelines if you don't.

Jules has requested that we don't pursue any criminal charges.

However, I suggest that you steer clear of your family for now.

You avoid the Neptune cafe and the school -

and do not go within a half-mile radius of Rachel's home. Clear?

I'm only breaking my bail conditions

because your officers dragged me in here.

The Reids have been told you're back.

Paudge will take you home now.

No, thanks.

It wasn't an offer. I want you out of my station.

Now.

I don't get it. Why now?

He knows he's not welcome.

Swanning in like he owns the place, like nothing happened.

You OK? Yeah. You've not said a word.

You've said plenty for both of us.

Niamh'll be freaking out. There!

Hey!

Hey. It's Brian. You know what to do.

PHONE BEEPS Don't you ever call me again.

I'd invite you in for a coffee,

but I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

Keep away from Sharon. Ever the loyal lapdog, aren't you?

She still knocking you back, though, right?

Funny, cos I had to fight her off.

She was like a cheap suit, all over me...

Leave her alone.

You have one new voice message.

Don't you ever call me again.

To delete this message...

THEY BREATHE HEAVILY

Come on, this is pointless.

Sean, Sean! Sean! Hey!

Hey!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa!

Come on.

Name.

I haven't done anything. Name!

You know me poxy name. Spit it out.

Jack. Jack O'Reilly.

Jack O'Reilly, we're arresting you on suspicion... Are you mental?

You're off your head. Hey, take it easy. You're a nutjob.

Hey, stop, stop! Stop!

Stop! What are you doing?!

PHONE RINGS

Yous are going to pay for this.

Especially that one. Poles coming over here.

I'm from Croatia.

It's the same difference. Loopers, the bleeding lot of them.

Jack. It's been nearly two weeks.

This is persecution. I missed you.

It's a violation of me civil rights.

55 Wainsview... Do you not see what they're after doing to me, fat boy?

Ah, you can barely tell the difference.

I want to talk to your boss.

Right. Let's get you cleaned up, then you can tell her all about it.

What the hell was that?

He put up a fight. I defended myself.

Defended yourself? You heard Paudge.

This guy's in and out of here all the time.

You... You were completely out of line!

Briefing. Front office. For what?

What do you think?

OK. As you've already heard, Brian McGonigle is back in town.

He says he's here to see his solicitor

and clearly he's keen to reconnect with his family.

Some neck, I'll give him that.

The trial is eight weeks away.

Whatever we think about Brian,

we have to remember that he was a pretty damn good guard.

He knows this place inside out. He knows us.

If we put a foot wrong, he's going to jump on that.

So you need to tread very carefully.

What you're basically saying is hands off?

No, we get smart. We keep him under obs.

You guys, you know the drill -

but you need to keep your distance.

Sean?

So the Reids just suck it up, if they bump into him.

Unless he breaches his bail conditions, yeah.

He's been back nearly a week and according to Rachel Reid

he hasn't been in touch.

What do you reckon, Sharon?

She seems genuine, but... I dunno.

I mean, he'd be pretty stupid if he tried.

If he goes anywhere near her, he'd be in the nick before end of play.

And stupid isn't Brian McGonigle's style.

And guys, can we please keep this quiet as long as possible?

The last thing I need is some paedo-hunter out

giving him a beating.

And don't even think about it.

All right, that's it.

O'Reilly's solicitor is on his way down,

but could you fill me out an arrest report form?

OK, thank you.

This is all yours.

And if he does call?

How could he? He doesn't have my number.

If you see him on the street?

I walk the other way, call the Guards. Dad, OK, I get it.

I'm not stupid, all right?

I'm sorry, I know.

It's just until he's locked up.

Getting your briefing there, are you?

If it's a Garda escort you're after,

I can offer you a family discount, if you like.

Give us a shout. Day or night.

Just hand that out to anyone, do you?

You can have one too, if you like.

Ah. How are things across the road?

Yeah, fine. Give us a coffee, will you?

Just the one? What about your boyfriend?

He can get his own.

Love on the rocks?

Just Kosos acting an idiot.

Want boiled or mashed?

Where are they? You had two just an hour ago.

They're not going to kill me, Da.

How about I get these on and we watch a DVD?

Or a video game?

Son, you need to stay busy. Keep your mind occupied.

PHONE RINGS

Rachel. Give it to me.

Now is not a good time.

What do you think you're doing?

You need to keep focused. I want to speak to her.

Oh, I'd say you do...want her to score again for you, is it?

Get out of my face...

Tell me!

What do you think?

Just a few more days.

You said you could do this.

Well, I can't!

All right? I can't.

HE SOBS

I just can't.

PHONE RINGS

Hey...

I need your signature.

Let me guess, they all live happily ever after?

What?

In this little fairy tale here?

Just sign it.

You expect me to lie for you. Again.

No. No can do.

You can't say anything.

No, you wouldn't tell Nikki?

I don't know.

He's got form and a gob on him to match,

but are we definite he's our man?

He fits the description. As soon as he clocked us, he ran.

OK. Let's hope the solicitor's not like the last...

Claire. Nikki.

I didn't know that you were... What is my client doing in here?

He needs a doctor. Now.

There you go. Thanks.

Yeah, unfortunately, I can't lock her up. Much as I'd like to.

Where is she now?

The flicks. With a mate.

Might do her good, take her mind off things.

What about you?

I'm her dad. It's what we do.

Fret.

I used to be strawberry blonde, you know?

You were the only one who knew...

who was clued into what was really going on between them.

I never said thank you for that.

So, has she talked much about him coming back?

No. No. It's like she's just blocking it all out.

I don't blame her.

And she's telling the truth about her not seeing him, do you think?

She's no reason to lie, after everything else.

She wouldn't.

Rachel!

Rachel, what's going on?

Why aren't you picking up? I don't understand...what's changed?

Sharon and Nikki came to see me.

You heard that bitch arrested me?

Yeah, I heard.

Look, I was just trying to see Mel.

And your wife?

No. Mel texted her. No, no, that wasn't my idea.

OK, let's not do this here. My flat's just around the corner.

I'm not interested.

I wish you'd never come back.

Whatever happens in eight weeks' time, my life here is over.

Come with me. We'll talk.

There's things I need to say.

Before I go.

Please. Then you'll never see me again, I swear.

Just want to have a look inside your ear, there.

Sean and Adrijan?

My office.

He's up to something, I know he is.

Don't go round putting ideas in Liam's head, will you?

If Rachel's seen him...

He's a scumbag, I'll grant you that. But he's no gom.

He's dangerous, Paudge. You know exactly what he's capable of.

You heard what Nikki said. Steer well clear. Don't get involved.

He was hiding, ran. I grabbed him.

He was struggling as I put on the cuffs.

Sean said something...

I got distracted.

He made a run for it, I tackled him,

he smashed his face on the pavement.

When he was cuffed?

Yes.

Sustaining "minor injuries to the face"?

Paudge cleaned him up. We should have got medical assistance,

but it looked like a nose bleed.

He's looks like he's gone seven rounds with Mike Tyson now.

He fell. That's all there is to it.

OK, leave it with me.

I'll talk to Claire and get back to you. Thanks.

What was it?

That you said to Adrijan, to distract him?

I told him to check for a blade.

Oh, I'm missing a signature here.

Don't worry, lads, don't lose any sleep, I've got your backs.

Is everything OK?

I don't know if we can do this.

He's all over the place.

I'm afraid this is all just part of the process,

I'm giving you everything I can.

We nearly lost him once already.

Maybe a support group? Parents of addicts.

Someone who's been through it.

You should look online.

There's isn't much else I can do.

Sean!

Sean, hey, hey!

Do you fancy a pint?

I've made plans.

Look, it's over, she bought it.

I told you, you worry too much.

Thanks, bud. For backing me up.

Like I had a choice.

It'll be fine.

You don't get it, do you?

If I hadn't stepped in, you'd have beaten O'Reilly to a pulp.

I know, I made a mistake.

And now suddenly you're Mary bleedin' Poppins!

You lost it! Sean...

I don't want to hear it. Let's get drunk, forget about it, OK?

Look, I've got you out of plenty of scraps.

You reckon? Yeah, and I will do it again.

Don't worry. You've done enough!

It's...

It's not exactly the Ritz, but the cockroaches seem to like it.

You're going to be in college, by the time I get out.

Prison.

Have you thought about where you might go?

Away from here.

What?

Nothing.

Look, you wanted to say something. So say it.

Look, they said that you're going to be there, in court.

It's OK.

Whatever my solicitor makes me say...

I just need to make sure that you know the truth.

I wasn't using you.

I wasn't getting some kind of cheap thrill.

I...was...in love with you.

And I've never felt that.

Not even with Jules.

Not even close.

SHE KNOCKS

Um... Get in the bathroom.

What?

It's Sharon. Just go.

What? Does she know I'm here?

No, no, just go, for me. Take that.

DOOR LOCK CLICKS

Twice in one day. Aren't I the lucky fella?

Looking well.

So...what's up?

Rachel Reid.

What about her?

She's come on a lot since you left.

Good. Good to hear. Appreciate you letting me know.

And she's worked hard.

She's a chance of getting over what you did to her.

Now, I don't know why you're here...

..but if you go anywhere near her...

Just leave her alone. She's just a kid.

No offence, but I think you're underestimating her.

Are you here in your official capacity, Garda Cleere?

Didn't think so.

Nikki'll be interested to know where you're spending your evenings.

I'll deny I was ever here.

I had your little pal Paudge was warning me off earlier on.

Now, I may be suspended, but I am still a Guard,

pretty familiar with the old handbook.

And I'd say this constitutes harassment.

Wouldn't you?

Close the door on the way out, there's a good girl.

You stay away from her.

You had him, that was obvious. What was that thing you did?

The Rabona! Round the back and in!

How did you get on? 3-0.

Your son scored two of those.

Shane Long eat your heart out.

I'm going to grab a shower.

Where is he?

He went up for a nap.

I took him to the doctor.

Why? What happened?

The state of him. He was a wreck.

I had to try something.

And?

She said if we looked online

we might find some support groups or something.

Fat lot of good that's going to do. That's what I thought, but...

Here, read this. Slow withdrawal.

Tapering. You've heard of it?

Some American fad.

It worked for this young fella.

Just read it. I don't need to.

His parents controlled his drug use.

They gave him a little bit less, week by week.

Now he's clean. 100%.

They weaned him off it.

Then he's one in a million. It's worth a shot, isn't it?

You and me?

Are you suggesting we buy Conor his drugs?

Ange, just have a read.

Have you lost your mind?

It worked. It actually worked.

No.

Absolutely no way.

That woman. I swear...

You see? Just won't leave me alone.

Oh, God, this is stupid.

This isn't fair on you.

Look, I'm sorry. You shouldn't be here.

You shouldn't have come. I'm sorry.

You should go home. Your dad's going to be worried about you.

I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of her. I'm just sick of them all.

They all think they know what's best for me.

Everyone thinks I'm some stupid little kid.

No, I don't.

Look, you should go.

Promise me that you'll come and find me.

You surely don't think that we could
