Episode 7 Red Rock

-Hey!

-Jack O'Reilly.

-Get back!

-My client, Jack O'Reilly,

made a formal complaint to GSOC this morning.

It'll be the christening before we know it.

We haven't decided what we're doing yet.

You think we're being tough?

GSOC comes calling,

-you're going to need to have your stories straight.

-We'll be ready.

You came back for me, didn't you?

Wilma or Marge?

Simpson or Flintstone?

They're cartoon characters.

Come on, humour me.

You're the one who keeps telling me to de-stress.

Wilma.

Every time.

Me, too.

Hey.

Fox in the henhouse.

OK, I'll go for him as soon as he strikes.

You wait here in case he doubles back.

Gardai. Stop!

Hey!

Hey!

We could have got him!

Yeah, we could have, if you'd done what I told you!

Not again?

She showed up for the register, then snuck off about an hour later.

DOOR CHIMES

Giving out to her over the phone is not going to help.

Can I get a coffee and a tea, please?

Rachel's skipping school again.

See. She knows.

It's him, isn't it?

This one's got real log fires and everything.

And, "A stunning view of the surrounding countryside.

"The perfect getaway for honeymoon couples."

Do you like it?

Sounds great.

Mr Brian S McGonigle.

S for...sexy?

You.

Concentrate.

How much is this going to set me back?

Loads.

We don't have to book this one, actually.

It, uh, doesn't even have a pool.

Oh, yeah. Not available until September.

I'll be enjoying some spectacular views

through the bars at Mountjoy by then.

Please don't.

HE SIGHS

Hey, come on, look. We've got a few weeks before the trial, right?

We'll find somewhere nice.

Just for you and me.

So I was thinking, I might pop over later?

Cheers, guys.

Give Katie a hand with the little lad, you know?

Long time no see, Bridget.

Joe?

I thought you'd forgotten about me.

Oh, are you waiting for someone?

Yeah.

He's late.

Some fella stood you up?

As if!

Yeah, as if.

It's nothing like that.

You got time for a drink?

It's a highball and ginger, isn't it?

See, some things you don't forget.

Any sightings of Brian yet?

No. He's lying low. Not that I blame him.

Don't you think it's a bit weird

that he comes all the way back here, just to hide away?

What do you know?

Rachel's been missing classes.

And?

Well...

When you have something, you come to me.

Keep your distance from Brian.

BELL RINGS

HE PANTS

McGonigle's got a plan, he always has a plan.

Right, in your own time, fella.

I...

Should we call a doctor?

A priest'd be more use.

I'd like to report a theft.

Well, you've come to the right place, sir.

-Would I be right in guessing that you're a cyclist?

-Yeah.

Doctor said I needed exercise, you know how it is.

Keep in shape.

None of us are getting any younger, isn't that right?

Where was it taken from, sir?

Corner of O'Brien Street.

In Skanger Central?! They're using bolt-cutters

while they're still in nappies, round there.

You are going to look for it?

I think you'd better prepare yourself for the worst.

Don't do this to me.

There's the serial number,

purchase documents.

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get it back.

Take my advice, treat yourself to a Leap Card.

I'll go and check if anything's been reported.

You shelled out four grand for two wheels?!

That bike was going to save my life.

It's my heart, you see.

It's not your heart that's the problem.

Relax.

It's just two friends having a drink.

Oh, he sends his regrets.

Little Hughie?

Yeah, he won't be making it.

Can't believe you went to that waster for money.

How did you know?

Oh, you know how it is. People talk.

I told him I'd take care of it.

There's no need.

Really.

Quare fella's skint again, isn't he?

No.

How's he doing, anyway?

Keeping busy.

You know Vin.

Yeah.

Heard about your mother.

Sorry.

Yeah.

She never stopped giving out to me for letting you go.

You haven't changed.

You need glasses.

20/20 vision, me.

Are you in trouble, Bridget?

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

HE CLEARS THROAT

You need anything...

..you give me a call.

-Well?

-Well, what?

-Where were you?

-School.

Try again.

Lying on my back.

At the dentist.

You made the appointment, remember?

Yeah, why didn't you answer your phone?

You try having a conversation with a mouthful of drill.

A stiff warning, and she won't be shop-lifting again.

The manager's dropped all charges.

Yes.

I'm pregnant.

That's... That's great.

Great.

You fancy a cuppa?

No, thanks. I'm off caffeine.

Peppermint tea?

Listen, about the O'Reilly case,

GSOC are going ahead with the complaint.

We've asked for the officers' interviews to be moved forward,

so they're scheduled for tomorrow.

That's OK, isn't it?

Yeah. No problem.

Good.

I was wondering...

..if I could give him his next feed?

How? Exactly?

A bottle, obviously.

Don't you use that...pump thing?

Don't you have any in the fridge?

She's not a bleedin' cow.

He's not due for another hour.

All right.

Look, I know you're desperate, but if I wake him now,

he'll be cranky all day.

Look, just give us a text when he's up, right?

-I'd love to see him.

-Yeah.

-DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Says he's a man of God.

Wants a bleedin' tip for the christening!

Why didn't you tell me we'd company?

The christening?

Just checking the lay of the land, you know,

till youse make up your own minds.

Be deadly.

Have it in the summer?

Yeah, we'll get back to you on that one, will we?

No, we won't.

It's in a few weeks.

-At St Peter's.

-It's already booked?!

I was going to tell you...

-When?

-After

-the event?

-I'm sorry. I just didn't think that...

-Think what?!

I wouldn't want to be at my own son's christening?

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Yeah.

Yeah, she had an appointment this morning.

Rachel Reid.

Yeah.

Yeah, 11 o'clock, I think it was.

I see.

Yeah. No, thanks, that's all I need to know.

HE SIGHS

INDISTINCT

You know how much I hate doing PE, and I'd forgotten my kit,

and then that stupid cow Mrs Foster already hates me.

So I went home to get it, but it was in the wash,

and on the way back I met Anna...

Do you not think we have enough to deal with already?

I'm sorry, OK?

Have you seen him?

Get your hands off me.

HE HITS COUNTER

Why did I listen to youse?

I'm the only one talking sense, here.

You think the Hennessys want to go to your child's christening?

They're getting invited, and that's all there is to it.

I don't think so.

Then I'm not going.

And neither is Luke.

It's whatever she wants.

And how are we going to afford it?

We can barely stretch a few sambos.

So?

Oh, I can really see the photographs now, Vin.

Them looking down their noses at us.

That's one for the mantelpiece, eh?

I told you, didn't I?

You should've just come clean.

Like a stuck record...

Oh, boring you am I? Sorry.

Sorry, partner.

But you do realise that we're both screwed here, don't you?

How?

If we stick to our story...

And what if we don't?

So, what, you'd tell the boss we fabricated our story,

and you made a false statement?

How's this going to help?

GSOC are moving quickly on this one, lads.

It's very obliging of them, isn't it?

What?

Nothing.

It's just that...

It's just...

Just a wrongful arrest.

An honest mistake, they probably just want to get it out the way.

They can't hang us for it.

It's for energy.

I don't want to go hypoglycaemic.

SHE COUGHS

Smells like Sean in here.

Yeah, Lance Armstrong here's sweating off the calories,

and I'm breathing them in.

Well, I think I know what happened to his bike.

Don't tell me.

He's eaten it?

Mr Beckett.

Can I check something with you?

Now, sir, is this your bike?

That's it, yes.

Glad somebody's helping.

Right, see, well, I cross-checked it

with other reported thefts around Dublin, and it turns out

a man fitting your description has reported the exact same theft

a number of times in various different stations in the past year.

Would I be right in saying you intend to make an insurance claim?

Come back here, you!

You know what you could do with, sunshine?

A little bit of exercise.

Come with me.

Sharon.

I need to talk to Nikki.

Look, you know where he lives now, OK?

You can just go around there!

Without proof...

I don't need proof, OK?!

I know. I'm her dad.

We're all itching for him to put a foot wrong, but unless he does...

Unless he does, he has free rein to rape my daughter,

just so long as he doesn't do it right in front of your face!

Liam.

Look, we're both on the same side here.

I almost lost my daughter last time because those people screwed up.

Yeah, I know. I know. I was there.

I'm sorry.

Look, I could have a quiet word.

If patrols are passing the bedsit...

Where is he, Sharon?

Liam, you know...

Sharon, if I know where he is, I can keep Rachel away from him.

Please?

I'll be back in a minute.

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

He was resisting arrest.

I cuffed him, but he ran off.

You couldn't stop him?

I tried. But he...

-He tripped.

-On what?

Come on. You have to be quicker than that.

He tripped. He just tripped and smashed his face.

Let's go again, from the start...

-I know it inside out.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

I knew I'd find someone to play with.

What're youse having, amigos?

Interrupting a domestic, am I?

No.

All right.

I'll be peacekeeper and you can get the drinks in, Westlife.

No. Not on a week night.

Need a clear head for tomorrow.

Come on, one for the road can't do any harm?

Ugh, Mum, it wasn't that bad.

That traffic is an absolute curse.

I'd happily abolish bus lanes completely.

Ah, David, you're not drinking on the job?

What's wrong, love?

My son's getting christened.

Great!

When?

Couple of weeks, I think.

You think?

They weren't going to invite me.

That family! They've no right.

You're the father, for God's sake!

You reckon?

Cos the way I see it, Claire,

is I'm just some fella that shows up

and doesn't know a thing about his son.

You will, love.

How, when all they do is shove me out?

All I want is to see my kid.

So fight back.

I know.

I know everything.

How did you get my address?

Rachel.

Really?

How did she know?

HE UNLOCKS DOOR

You mind?

You know...

I really wish we could go back to the way things were.

Daughters, huh?

I know what they're like.

Mood swings.

But some of them, some of them are just wild.

They are out of control.

I can see why you're concerned.

Yeah.

Poor little Rachel.

She's been here.

In that bed.

You...

..and her.

HE SIGHS

Who I bring home...

to that bed...

..that's my business.

HE LAUGHS

HE GRUNTS IN PAIN

Really?

Really, is that it?

BRIAN LAUGHS

What would Rachel think of her precious little daddy now? Huh?

You touch another hair on her head,

one more hair on her head...

I will kill you.

I will kill you.

CLATTERING

Ow.

It's just a sprain, it's fine.

You need to get that X-rayed.

What's wrong?

My cappuccino hand's out of action. I think I'll live.

How'd you do it?

I want you here for lunch, today, yeah?

Hang on, I'm bringing you to the hospital.

Niamh, I said it's fine.

Anyone seen Adrijan?

Upstairs. Rory wanted him for something.

What's he doing? Hiding in filing cabinets?

I was just up there.

Well, he must have come down.

Do not tell me he's late.

Adi, it's me again. Pick up, will you?

Paudge!

Westlife.

Will you turn down the volume?

What's going on? Where did you two end up last night?

We went to the... No...

That was before...

Will you come on?! I can't get hold of him.

Welcome to my world!

Try dragging 12st of Croatian muscle down Grafton Street.

It's no picnic.

So where is he now?

I had to call the night crew for backup.

Could've done with a Swat team.

Jeez, Paudge.

Could you not stop him?

Stop him?

I've never seen gargle disappear so quick.

The man's a machine.

What are we going to do? GSOC are coming today.

There's only one thing we can do.

HE GROANS

Nikki catches you at this,

she'll have your dangly bits for earrings.

And I'd be surprised if he ever sees his again.

Oh...

Shut up, will you?

You want to do the interview in this state?

I'm going to be sick.

Don't, you'll set me off too. I have a delicate constitution.

Dirty, stinkin'...

Aw, Jaysus...

PAUDGE VOMITS

Thank you.

That looks bad.

You'll be dragging me off to the knacker's yard, next!

You need to see a doctor.

I caught in a car door, is all.

And tell Katie to bring Luke in to see us again, won't you?

Getting broody, are you?

No!

I'll grab you a coffee.

Bridget.

-How's the little fella?

-Perfect child.

Eats like a horse, sleeps like an angel.

You must be busy with the christening arrangements?

Christening? You'll be needing a cake?

Reasonably priced, locally-sourced, made by my own fair hands.

Katie still get the staff discount?

I can take care of that.

It's the least I can do.

I do appreciate you inviting us to the christening.

I don't suppose you've any idea how many we can invite from our side?

There's more of you?

A few.

How many does the venue hold?

It's a bit up in the air at the moment.

But you'll let me know?

Don't you worry.

So, the cake, you'll be wanting a decent size.

Don't want to be seen to be skimping.

There'll be no skimping at our Luke's christening.

Guarantee you that.

Keep the change.

Bye.

Go on, get this down your neck,

and you'll not know yourself.

-I'm fine.

-You think?

-Yeah. I'll be all right.

-You'd better be.

Tell the truth, and you'll be outta there faster than a greyhound's arse.

Cheers, Paudge. Thanks for the tip.

Sure, you two should be experts with the GSOC fellas, by now.

How long do we have before they get here?

A few hours.

HE VOMITS

-You're on your own this time.

-SPOON CLATTERS

ADRIJAN COUGHS AND EXHALES

-TOILET FLUSHES

-It's cool. I'm fine.

-Are you serious?

-Yeah, we've just got to stick to the plan.

Ask me anything.

Go on!

Your da will need a new suit.

Why? He didn't get a new one for Darren's funeral.

All the more reason...

Would you crack a smile?

"Nothing fancy," she said. "Just a quiet one at home."

I knew it was too good to be true.

Luke is my first grandchild.

We should be celebrating, pushing the boat out...

Till it sinks?

Why do you always have to look at the negative?

Maybe it's the leaking tap,

or the red bills from the electricity.

-DOOR OPENS

-How are we going to pay for it?

What's the story?

Lock up your wallet, Da.

She wants us splashing out for the christening.

Are you mental? Ah, don't overboard it on the bling, Bridge!

This is about Luke, remember.

Yeah, I know, the little man joining God's family.

It doesn't mean we can't have nice things.

I'd rather he had a roof over his head.

You do know what this is about, don't you?

Why can't I have a bit of pride in my family?

Look, you don't have to have all the airs and graces for that lot.

Treating me like a...like a charity case, she was.

Like, as if I needed her money!

Eh, we do!

Mm-hmm, if she's offering.

No.

This is our christening, our day, our Luke.

We'll show her.

Where's Charlie Sheen?

In the jacks.

You lads really need to learn to relax.

The gouger was resisting arrest.

Look, we're not dealing with Daniel O'Donnell here.

He's a scumbag with a capital F.

Using kiddies to sell drugs?

Yeah?

You want my advice?

Not really.

Next time, whack him with a phone book. No marks.

Cover for me, will you?

I'm on my break!

SIREN WAILS

A word.

DOG BARKS

Didn't bring your little psycho buddy with you this time?

He's a disgrace to the uniform.

He should be deported.

This meeting's off the record.

I don't talk to the Guards.

Well, you haven't heard what I'm offering you yet.

I'm asking you nicely to withdraw the complaint you made

against me and my colleague.

Yeah, cos that's going to happen(!)

And I'll do you a simple deal in return.

Hard cash?

You do as I tell you, and maybe I won't make your life a living hell.

Is that right, yeah?

Yeah.

I know your sort.

I know what you're capable of.

I'm dyslexic.

This is a list of all the unsolved crimes on this estate

in the last six months.

So?

So, you want me to read them for you?

Not really.

Fine. We'll leave it for the judge.

Penny not drop yet, big man?

You know how easy it is for me to pin these on you?

You have nothing on me.

You see, that's the best bit,

because, as long as I have my suspicions,

I can get a warrant for your phone and laptop.

Who knows what filth I'll find?

Get Nikki.

When did this alleged attack take place?

Hmm? Erm... Last night.

You haven't given us a description of the assailant.

I know him.

I'll give you three guesses.

Oh, you're going to have to narrow it down.

I wouldn't be short of suspects. You're a popular fella.

Liam Reid.

An unprovoked assault.

I didn't have the chance to defend myself,

never mind hit him back.

And any idea why he'd attack you, of all people?

Let's go back to the beginning, shall we?

You know the drill.

Tell me exactly what happened.

It's the worst part of the job, isn't it, paperwork?

That's the one thing I don't miss, amongst others.

Look we're not going to be needing that, Acting Detective Inspector.

I'm not going to bother pressing charges.

Then what did you come here for?

I want to know who gave him my address,

because it came from this station.

I doubt that.

Do you trust all of your officers?

We got rid of the rubbish when you left.

I am still a Guard.

On paper, for now.

If that's all, Brian?

Not quite.

Someone gave him that address - I'm going to find out who.

I'd like to make an official complaint against this station.

LIQUID TRICKLES AND FIZZES

It's on the house.

So, has Katie said anything about the godparents?

-Yeah.

-What?

Keith - he's the godfather.

And she said that, did she?

It goes without saying.

It would've been Darren, but...

Hi, love.

Oh, Bridget, I'm glad I caught you.

I made a list.

The sooner the better, I thought.

The guests.

Too many?

Not unless we're hiring Croker.

I'm sorry...

You know, we could have it here, if that helps.

We could section off an area.

I could get it decorated.

I could get some staff in to hand out drinks...

But obviously that's entirely up to you.

Free bar?

Will we put our heads together, then?

Would tomorrow suit you?

Mm-hmm.

Great.

DISTANT PHONE RINGS

I am warning you,

don't even try and mess me about over this.

Did you give Liam the address?

No.

CHAIR SQUEAKS

Rachel.

Come here. Come in, now. Come on.

-Come in.

-Was he attacked or something?

Yeah, it looks like it.

He got what he deserved, if you ask me.

-You want some lunch, Rach?

-Yeah, what do you fancy?

Chipper?

It was you. It was you...

-Wait, wait, wait, wait...

-Why did you do that to him?

Why do you think?!

Dad...

Don't ever touch him again.

Congratulations(!) You just made him the victim.

The guys from GSOC are on their way.

OK, well, get them a coffee and tell them I'm on my way.

And will you go find Sean and Adrijan and put them on standby?

Yeah.

-Nikki.

-Yeah?

Why has Mr O'Reilly withdrawn his complaint?

I didn't know that he had.

He called me half an hour ago, and said it was all a big mistake.

But GSOC have just sent someone over.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say he'd been put under pressure.

Well, not by one of my officers.

Course not.

His mind's obviously been playing tricks...

though that wouldn't explain his injuries.

HE BREATHES SHARPLY

Why didn't you tell me he was here? He had no right.

Look, he's just worried about you.

I'm always going to be the bloke that

took his daughter away from him.

No, you didn't.

I didn't tell him you were here, I swear.

No, I know.

Are they going to charge him, do you think?

No, no, I told them I wanted to forget the whole thing.

BRIAN SIGHS

No point in making things more difficult for you.

Rachel, this is only going to get worse.

He won't do it again, I promise.

No, I know, but you and your dad at each other's throats...

-I don't want that.

-It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

It does.

And it's not just him - it's everybody out there.

-They don't understand...

-I don't...

Look, you're always going to be the schoolgirl that

ran off with the pervert Guard.

I don't care what anyone has to say...

I want to be with you.

Yeah.

Yeah, and mess up your life?

No.

No, look, I won't let you do that.

HE TAKES A DEEP BREATH

Nice one!

Your Dirty Harry routine could've just cost us this entire case!

It's his word against mine, isn't it?

He'll use this in court. You do realise that?

He's not pressing charges, you just said.

He doesn't have to!

He'll keep this one in his back pocket, for emergencies.

His solicitors will bring it out

when things are going badly in court.

Big, bad Brian, he suddenly looks like the victim.

Jury swayed. Job done.

What were you thinking, raging over there?!

I was going to tell him to stay away from Rachel.

You went to beat the crap out of him.

He provoked me!

How?! By breathing?!

We're not done here.

Am I under arrest?

-No.

-Then I don't have to stay and listen to this.

Yeah, you do, cos you're under official caution.

I will not tolerate vigilante action on my turf. Is that clear?

If you didn't want me to go there, she shouldn't...!

Say it.

-Sharon, Sharon...

-No, I didn't give it to him.

-He must have seen it...

-Give me some credit!

Well, I didn't know he was going to go and attack him.

What did you think he was going to do?

Go for a chinwag and a cuppa?!

I am telling you, you knew exactly what you were doing,

and if you are honestly telling me you didn't,

then you obviously are too stupid or too naive for this job.

Him, I get, it's his daughter, but you?!

You could have screwed up this entire case

because you didn't think.

I was just trying to help. I'm sorry.

You are wearing a Garda uniform - you'd better start acting like it!

DOOR OPENS

-What do you two want?

-GSOC interview...

They've cancelled.

What? Why?

O'Reilly's had a moment of sanity

and decided to withdraw his case against you.

Right, excellent.

That's great.

Yeah, it is, for all of us.

Any idea what might've changed his mind?

He probably knew they'd see straight through him.

Whatever.

If you ever come in here smelling of drink like that again,

you'll be on an official warning.

Now, get out of my sight.

I had a word with O'Reilly, that's all.

I'm not stupid.

I helped him see sense.

You threatened him?

I just explained how to do the right thing.

And you think I'm the one with the head problem?

Worked, didn't it? We're in the clear. End of story.

Well, if this ever comes out, we're in it even deeper.

You were a dribbling mess, and now I'm getting grief over this?

I didn't ask you to do this!

I had to.

It's not just your neck on the line here, pal, in case you've forgotten.

HE EXHALES

No, it's not fair.

Come on, we've got, what, a few weeks together at the most?

Rachel, it's not worth it.

-Your dad loves you. You love him...

-I love you!

-Yeah, but, still, you're going to need him when I'm gone.

-No, no...

Look, it's best if we call it quits.

Now, come on, we've had a good time, haven't we?

OK?

-DOOR CLOSES

-I'm not leaving you.

Rachel, I'm going to jail.

You don't know that.

Look, there's nothing we can do about it now,

so would you just go?

Would you go on?

-No.

-Go on.

-No.

-Please...

-No.

-Please, just go.

What if I say I made a mistake?

About what?

Then you couldn't go to prison.

Ah, no...

No, no, no. Let me go.

No.

Yeah, I can do that, can't I? I can change it.

I can say that I lied, that's it.

What if I just said that I made it all up?
