Episode 8 Red Rock

You have what's known as post concussion syndrome.

If you were to get another bump to the head,

we might be looking at something more serious.

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

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

-Is that right, yeah?

-Yeah!

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?

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

Then you wouldn't go to prison.

Rachel?

Here, relax, will you?

What if O'Reilly changes his mind?

-He won't.

-Why are you so sure?

-O'Reilly is history.

-Why, because you say so?

Because I know. OK?

-My office, five minutes.

-Be right there.

We should never have sent her out there.

Dad, you have to stop this every single time she goes out.

I've seen her face, when she saw him all battered.

After everything he's done to her...

She's bound to still have feelings.

God, Niamh! Please.

You were in the therapist's office as well.

She can't just stop those feelings. She's confused.

DOOR OPENS

At last.

Just go easy on her.

What did you do, milk the cow yourself?!

What have you been doing?

Yeah! Why did it take so long?

Too late now, we have to open up.

-I went all that way for nothing.

-Why didn't you answer your phone?

I was just gone for, like, 20 minutes.

I was getting milk. Like you asked!

Thank you. Come on.

I lied about the dentist. So?

Does this mean you're not going to trust anything I say?

Dad, seriously...

I know. I know! I'm just trying to keep you safe.

OK?

If anything happened to you...

Just promise me you won't do anything stupid.

What? Like try and kill myself again?

No, I didn't mean that, I swear.

All I'm saying is, I'm here.

OK, I'm here...

and Niamh is here.

Yeah, I know.

Coming?

See you later.

Just let us know where you are, OK? Humour me.

So if you see O'Reilly on the street you do not engage, you don't get

lured into any conversation or argument, you simply walk away.

I don't want any further incidents.

What d'you do? Nick her biscuits?

Wouldn't want to get between that one and a custard cream.

-We got away with it.

-Maybe. For now.

-You still need to get yourself sorted.

-I will.

I mean it. Because I'm not...

I know.

Good.

Hey, Em.

There's plenty of parking and the caterers can use the pub kitchen.

So I think we're all sorted.

The caterers? I thought we agreed - keep it simple.

Great minds.

I thought we should stick to a few salads. Bits and pieces.

Who doesn't love a cold buffet?

Some whole poached salmon...

Oh, and there's this pig farm in West Cork.

A what?

They smoke their own hams.

I told them to keep a couple on order.

Are they having a laugh?

They'll honey glaze it for us.

It'd want be gold-plated for this price.

Is it too much?

I'm not a big fan of pork, myself.

It's delicious. It's not like that supermarket rubbish.

OK, so Niamh's looking after the cake.

So we can tick that off the list.

Do you think two tiers is enough?

Ah, sure, one for luck. Why not?

Great. Now, about the budget.

I think we should aim for about or six, seven hundred.

Euros?

-Well, there's the extra staff at the pub.

-Oh!

Paying their wages as well, am I? Charming?!

Well, I can't ask them to come in and work for free.

Well, how's it going?

Oh, Katie.

Here, see for yourself.

Oh, looks great.

Yeah, it'd want to.

Bridget, if you don't want this,

I'm happy to go with whatever you decide.

A few cans, some sambos, should do us.

This'll do just fine. It will.

Lovely.

Actually, Katie, I was wondering...

It's quite old.

Smells like the jumble sale.

It's beautiful.

All the children were baptised in that gown.

Including Michael?

Obviously, it's up to you.

He's awake. Go on up and see him, if you want.

I'd love to. So will I give the caterers a call?

They'll want a deposit today. So that'll be 300 euro.

Patricia, I don't think we're...

Don't you worry, we'll take care of that.

Great.

Now, let me at that grandson of mine.

So you didn't do it yet?

Rachel?

I tried, but...

Dad's been breathing down my neck this morning.

But he still thinks you're at school now, right?

Yeah, but...

I've got a test this morning and they'd call him

if I didn't turn up.

Brian...

OK, look, I need to see you.

I shouldn't...

Just meet me. Usual place.

Are you still there?

This fridge is on its last legs here, love.

So now's not a good time to ask for a loan, then?

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Patricia Hennessy needs cash for the caterers.

Thought I'd ask you for a lend.

Yeah, take it out of my back pocket there, why don't you?

I wouldn't ask, but you know I put my spare cash into them tracksuits.

A load of rubbish.

Stock, Vincent. It's called stock.

Yeah, so why don't you flog them?

We need 300 euros.

We?!

Wasn't me who invited the Munsters.

Turns out we'll be eating pigs with names.

Well, why don't you go to Patricia Hennessy,

tell her to stuff her pigs and whistle for her money?

I can't. I said we'd pay up.

Today.

So how was the test?

What?

The one you said you had today?

Change your mind?

No... I want to, it's just my dad, he's going to hate me.

He'll know I'm lying.

Yeah. You're right.

It was never going to work.

A guard in Mountjoy?

Yeah, well, maybe I can write a book when I get out.

-I just need more time.

-Look, I don't have much of that, do I?

Just go back to school, Rachel. Forget it.

It's like you want me to choose between you and my dad and I can't.

I chose you over my family...

..now it's your turn.

How's it going, Paddy?

Long time no hear, huh? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, about that 50 I owe you.

That's why I'm, eh, ringing you - I have it here for you now.

Tell you what, why don't we hook up tomorrow sometime, yeah?

Right. Grand. Talk to you then. Bye.

You want to ditch those mates of yours.

Tight arses, the lot of 'em.

Look, Mick the Meat owes me 100 quid.

And he'll throw in two turkeys.

That's great. The salmonella comes free, does it?

Oh, for the love of God, will you stop annoying me, woman?!

You're the one that got us into this situation!

A lousy tonne. It's not even half...we need another two.

Right, there's only one thing left for it, then.

Oh, no. Not the pavement scam again.

Where are you off to?

There's a mate of mine I can try.

-Oh, yeah? Like who?

-Look, just try not to get us

into any more trouble, will you? I'll get the bleedin' money!

All right?

Won't hold my breath.

DOOR CLOSES

No-one knows what really happened. Except you and me.

Do they?

Right, well, then just say that the last time you were really upset

and that you just said what they wanted you to say.

-I'll look like a nutjob.

-Hey, this was your idea.

And, by the way, they're the ones already painting you to be

some kind of stupid kid that doesn't know her own mind.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

I can tell you what to say. I can help you.

We can practise.

Look, in a year, we'll be legal.

We'll get our own place together.

You and me, living together.

We're almost there.

I'm going to make you so happy.

I swear.

Listen, your dad...

Look, he'll come round. It's just going to take time.

But I'm not going to make you do this.

You can't go to prison.

It's up to you, babe.

Hey, here you go. It's decaf.

-I don't need it. I'm feeling better.

-Yeah?

Calm as a cucumber.

It's "cool".

What?

It's "cool as a cucumber", you muppet.

Hey. Eddie Foley's after you two.

Ah, the lovely Eddie. What has he got for us this time?

-Alien abduction?

-A burglar on The Ridge, flat 28,

said he saw the guys, and he asked for you, Sean.

On our way.

It's been a little while since we had an Eddie distress call.

I know, I was beginning to miss him.

The truth is that I did have a crush on Brian.

But I was mad about him,

I was obsessed,

but we never slept together, we were just friends.

Why did you lie?

Because...I was angry with him. And I wanted attention.

-No, one or the other. Can't be both.

-What?

Slow down. And look them in the eyes.

-But not too much.

-I can't do this!

Yes, you can. Remember what I said?

They have no proof.

If you say it didn't happen, it didn't happen.

OK? Now go again.

Brian and I never had sex. I made it up because I was angry with him

for rejecting me, and I wanted him to suffer.

Much better.

So when I get to the station, I just say I want to recant?

No. No. I told you never use that word.

Just say you lied, keep it simple.

And ask to speak to Nikki.

What about Sharon?

No, you don't talk in front of her. Got it?

What if she's there? Cos she was the last time.

It doesn't matter, just say that...

..say she makes you uncomfortable.

-OK, Why?

-You don't have to explain.

Just say it, they won't put her anywhere near you.

-What if I make a mistake?

-Look, it's not that difficult.

Not for you! But I'm the one who's lying to the guards.

If they find out...

You should do it today.

-No way!

-Yeah.

-I'm not ready!

Yeah, you are. You're nervous. That's exactly how you need to be.

You can't go in there all guns blazing.

No, you're right.

You're going to be brilliant.

Clever little girl.

Now, I never touched you. We never had sex.

-It was all in your head.

-In my head.

-Yeah, yeah.

That's my girl.

ADRIJAN HUMS

-Are you humming?

-Maybe. I don't know.

I don't think I've ever heard you hum before.

Why? Is it bothering you?

No. Well, kind of, yeah. What did you do?

-Meditate or something? Pray?

-What do you mean?

Well, this morning you were a nervous wreck,

now you're making the Dalai Lama look uptight, what's your secret?

Maybe it's the decaf.

That's weird.

Eddie's usually here to meet us.

Where's your radio?

Left it in the car. I'll be two minutes.

You chill out too much, you know that?

-Vincent, I was on my way out.

-I won't keep you long.

It's about the christening.

There's not a problem, is there?

Well, that's kind of up to you, now.

There's 50 quid for the catering.

It was 300.

It was. Now it isn't.

If Bridget isn't happy with the plans, I did say...

We are happy with the plans. The pigs, an' all.

But?

Well, I was thinking that with everything that's gone on...

..might be a nice gesture if you...

Of course. I'd be happy to help out if I can.

-For the little lad.

-Exactly.

Our grandson comes first.

I'll take care of the whole lot.

Might smooth everything out between us.

Between the two families.

I'd like that.

Vincent.

David would really like to see more of his son

and it would be lovely if he could bring him home from time to time.

-That's Katie's department.

-I know that.

But if you could put in a word, I'd be grateful.

You never know.

Thanks.

Tell Bridget I said thank you.

No, let's keep this between us. She doesn't have to know.

Of course not.

You have my word.

HE BANGS ON METAL DOOR

Gardai! Anyone inside?

Hello?

Adi boy. Looks like Eddie's got it wrong again. Flat's deserted.

Adrijan?

CRASHING IN FLAT

Hello?

SEAN SHOUTS

Sean?

Open up!

Gardai! Open up! Sean! Sean!

Zero Five Two to control.

Go ahead.

-Requesting immediate back up.

-Roger.

Gardai! Open up!

Sean! Sean!

It's flat 28.

I need to speak to Nikki.

Now isn't a good time, we have a bit of a situation.

Is she here?

She is but you're going to have to give me a rough idea

-of what it's about.

-Mr McGonigle.

What about him?

I want to take back what I said. He didn't do it.

I lied.

She said he never touched her.

You're not actually taking this seriously?

What exactly did she say?

She said she made the whole thing up.

-You were in that room back then, right?

-Yeah.

-You think she was lying?

-No.

-So send her home.

-We can't.

What's he doing to her?

I want to be with her. I want to be in that room.

She won't lie. Not to me. Not about this.

Was expecting something flashier, to be honest.

I was never the flashy one.

That was Vincent.

Certainly worked for him, didn't it?

No need to be dragging all that stuff up again.

PHONE RINGS

Me? I've always thought less is more.

It's true about most things in life.

Except money.

We don't see each other for 20 years. Now twice in a few days.

You complaining?

You're absolutely sure about this?

Yes.

Can we get on with it?

Somewhere to be?

-Get up! Come on, you're coming home. Now!

-No.

-Liam, please.

What the hell are you playing at?

I don't want him here. Tell him to leave, please.

-Rachel, come on.

-He doesn't have to be here, does he?

Rachel?

Love...

Please don't do this.

Please don't do this.

It's best if you wait outside, Liam.

Are you OK?

Do you want some tea or water?

Sharon can get it.

I don't want her here, either.

Why not?

She makes me uncomfortable.

Sharon.

Why don't you want your dad here?

I don't need him.

You know the law takes very seriously what you're about to do?

You're basically saying that you lied before.

-If you do this, Rachel, you can't undo it.

-I won't want to.

-When can I start?

-When we have the appropriate adult here.

If it's not going to be your dad then we can wait for Niamh

but I think she's going to be at the hospital for a while.

-No word on Sean.

-Can we just get this over with?

Of course.

We'll get someone here as soon we can. OK?

Anything?

Running tests or something.

Please. Please let him be OK.

So you're claiming you lied in your previous statement.

I did lie.

For the purposes of the tape,

Ms Reid is being shown a copy of that statement.

I'll read from it, OK?

"The relationship with Mr McGonigle progressed to

"that of an intimate nature.

"Kissing, touching. Both sexual and non-sexual, clothed and unclothed.

"And included, on several occasions, the following sexual acts..."

-Stop, no. I was angry with him!

-Why?

Cos I loved him and he didn't want to know.

So this was revenge?

Suppose. He told me to stay away from him.

But you didn't want that?

That's why...I told him...

I'd kill myself if he didn't come and see me.

You wanted him to save you?

But he didn't, did he? He was only interested in saving himself.

Who in their right mind gets a tattoo from a freak in the bar?

In the jacks!

Wasn't a bar, it was Lord John's.

That kip.

Grief it's caused me over the years, I'll tell you.

Wonder you didn't catch something.

It was your fault.

You dared me.

I still can't get over it. You're a grandmother.

Feels like yesterday, you and me on the mitch together.

That was a long time ago.

What are you doing here, Bridget?

Your offer...

the loan?

Still on the table, is it?

How much?

Few quid.

500. I have a bit of a cash...

I don't want details.

The repayments.

-You do mates' rates, right?

-Never.

But, for you, yeah, I'll make an exception.

Do you know how long I've been in this job?

You look pretty old so...

Go on, guess.

Couldn't care less.

Long enough to know when someone's in trouble. Under pressure.

I'm not.

It's all right, you can tell me. Is this his idea?

-No.

-Your dad's worried about you. Thinks you've been seeing him again.

That's why he beat him up.

How did that make you feel?

That's why I'm here.

I made Brian suffer, but I'm over him now.

I'm seeing other people. I've got my own life

that he's not a part of.

I don't want my dad getting into any more trouble.

He needs to know what really happened. Nothing.

You actually want to believe this is true, don't you? Sick.

Two of my officers saw CCTV footage of him kissing you.

I kissed him. He pushed me away.

I always thought you and your dad were close.

You say you want him to know the truth,

but you don't want him in here.

-What am I supposed to think, Rachel?

-Think what you like.

For the tape - me and Brian McGonigle did not have sex.

And I've had no contact with him.

I should have killed him when I had the chance.

Great idea. Spend the rest of your life in jail.

It'd be worth it.

Cos he's in her head now, isn't he? Dripping his poison.

She's here!

Don't worry, it's going to be fine.

What's your dad's car doing here?

Mum, please don't go mad at me, OK?

-Daddy!

-Lulu! Darlin'! Look at you!

Is that sore?

No, no, no, silly Daddy, he walked into a door.

It's going to be fine.

-Upstairs now. Both of you.

-No!

-It's OK, sweetheart. Just do what Mummy says. Go on.

-Come on, Lu.

A door?

Rachel Reid.

She's finally admitted it. Everything she said...

..was all lies.

So, he's back in town. But you don't get a call,

or even a text. That doesn't sound like Brian to me.

He's not allowed to contact me.

He's not allowed to do a lot of things.

OK. So, talk me through the last 24 hours.

-Why?

-You weren't at school today.

-So?

-Rachel, sit up.

And since Brian got back you have been reported missing

from school on five separate occasions.

-School bores me.

-What's he promising you, Rachel?

That he'll go off into the sunset with you?

He's married, he's got two kids. Please don't let him do this to you.

Do you think he loves you?

And you love him?

I want a break.

OK.

But what if the next girl's just a little bit younger than you,

and not quite so in love?

He will go to court, with or without your statement.

He didn't do anything! I told you the truth, OK?

I believe you.

I believe you. You did tell the truth.

Last year. This! This is the truth.

No. I WAS going to tell you the truth.

So what happened?

Then I went outside for some air and she came up to me,

and started telling me all this stuff about Brian.

Said she'd tell me what to say.

And I'd let everyone down if I didn't.

Who's "she"?

Sharon.

MONITOR BEEPS

Sean...

Come on, Sean. Open your eyes for me.

Sean.

I shouldn't have left him.

This isn't your fault.

What? I didn't rob the money, if that's what you're thinking.

I've heard that before.

Everything's paid up.

You always end up picking up after her. Always will.

Look, your ma just wants the child to have the day he deserves.

Both of you.

She wants to get one up on Patricia Hennessy.

CAR HORN OUTSIDE

All right, you'll get your fare.

Give us a hand with these bags, will ya?

What? More?

They're in the boot.

Here. Tell that auld eejit to shove this up his meter.

I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for what she did.

That's right, you wouldn't. She saved your life.

But you probably don't remember that. Sharon does, though.

There will be a formal investigation.

You've made a serious accusation against an officer.

Tell me exactly what she said.

I told you! She wouldn't stop going on about it.

She said she saved my life and so I owed her.

And that if I didn't lie I'd be letting everyone down.

You said you lied because you were angry with Brian.

I'm tired. I want to go home.

We're not finished here.

I am.

Look, you always said there was something not quite right about her.

Case in point. I never touched her.

Thought I was the only one could stomach this stuff.

What do you want me to say?

Nothing. I just want you to believe me. That's all.

It's over.

It's over?

I can't walk down the street without getting looks.

From who?

Everyone. You think anyone wants to know me after what you did?

I didn't do anything... That's the whole point.

Look, she's in there at the moment. At the station.

How do you know all this?

Cos I've still got some mates down there.

They didn't believe any of her nonsense.

Will you still go to court?

If I do, I'll walk right back out again.

I just wanted you to know.

Give us a hand with this, will you?

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

BUZZER

Rachel's given us her statement.

Let's go home, love.

BUZZER

What happens now with Brian?

We can't use Rachel's testimony now.

But the DPP will still want to go with it?

Who knows?

BUZZER

I've already sorted the money out for the catering.

If you'd answered your bleedin' phone you'd know that!

Right. So we're quids in.

Beats the old dress Nanny Cruella was trying to get him in!

So, what do you think?

You've been shoplifting?

Could you just eat it?

How much?

You can't put a price on my little prince.

Haven't forgotten you either.

Me?

When was the last time you wore a dress?

Exactly.

You'll kill them dead with that, you would!

It's too tight.

Your baby belly's nearly gone.

You'll look drop-dead gorgeous in it.

Especially when it's covered in baby sick.

Why don't you go on and try it on, love?

I thought you said your cash was all tied up in them tracksuits.

It is.

Managed to get an advance from one of my buyers.

Ah.

Fair play to ya.

What the hell happened down there?

BEEPING

I'm not sure, they got him inside and closed the door.

Where were you?

I'd left my radio back in the car, so I...went back to get it.

He went to the flat on his own?

Well, if I hadn't gone back to the car...

He approached a crime scene without his partner?

-He knows better than that.

-I think...

I think, er...

I think I saw O'Reilly.

O'Reilly was one of the attackers?

No, he wasn't in the flat, he was a few doors down...

Near the stairs.

Are you sure?

-Looked like him.

-It looked like?

It was.

It was him.

It was O'Reilly. Definitely.

She's a stupid bitch.

You don't even waste your time thinking about her, OK?

You should probably finish these up. And watch your fingers, OK?

-Er, I think there's enough there.

-Mum, can Dad stay for dinner?

Go and get your sister and tell her it's ready.

Look...

I didn't do it.

Get yourself a plate.

Well, hey there, monkey-face.

-Will you sit next to me, Daddy? You're staying?

-Course I will.

Absolutely, come on.

BEEPING

Do you want some water?

No, Mum. This is vegetable lasagne...

INDISTINCT SPEECH IN BACKGROUND

-Right, there you go.

-Looking good.

-There you are.

-Thanks.

-Hm.

Right...

-OK, so...

-Who's for salad?

-I'll go.

How was school today?

Do you want some of this?
