Hi.

Anything you want to tell me?

Think about it.

There's two men in this house.

I don't even know your name.

It's Molly, Lena.

Cathy, tell me where you are and what you're doing.

I mean, I'm actually starting to feel sorry for him now.

It's like you're hoping he's still out there killing people.

Who's that?

Hey!

Is that her? The woman from my home?

I don't know who this woman is.

You murdered someone. I gave you a second chance.

Oh!

I'm not having an affair.

I'm not a fucking murderer.

WOMAN SIGHS

We should just mooch off.

You can just mooch off.

I've got mocks.

But it's just you sitting around reading about football

while they do the work.

Maybe just one more kiss.

No, no chance.

You have to brush your teeth first. Oh, really?

THEY GIGGLE

HE YAWNS

You want to tell me where you were last night?

I don't know, the usual.

You're in some state.

Well, I'm sorry, it happens.

What about what happened to your hand?

I don't know, it's fine.

Mum, did you see my phone?

I can't find my phone. Maybe if you tidied your room every once in a...

It's not in my room. You might have left it at Jimmy's.

Come on, we have to go.

I need my phone. Need, really?

I'll help you look for it later. Come on, we're late.

ON PHONE: It's Gary.

Ga...Gary, what's wrong?

I'm at the hospital.

Sally, she, she was attacked last night.

MACHINE BEEPS

And where were you?

Just watching television.

And what time did she leave at last night?

CATHY SOBS

Mrs McDaid.

Detective Sergeant Cooper.

I understand you were with Mrs Bowman last night.

Hi.

It's just horrifying. You got a taxi home with Mrs Bowman? Sally.

Yeah, a taxi. I got dropped off first.

And what about before the taxi?

Was it a bar, or a club or a restaurant?

All three.

It's a girls' night out, you know?

Anything untoward or...

No, nothing.

There are always arses trying it on, but nothing serious.

PEOPLE LAUGHING MUSIC PLAYING

Whoa, whoa, I will fucking hurt you. Fuck away off. She's married.

She told one guy to fuck off, but it was nothing.

If you'd give me the name of the bar where this happened

they might know him or have CCTV, if only to rule him out.

Murphy's. Corner of erm... Er, yes, I know it.

Anything else you can think of?

Anyone who might have reason to hurt Sally? Sorry.

Actually, there is something.

There's this fella. We found out he'd killed someone a long time ago.

We went to his house. To his house?

When? We were just curious.

We listen to a lot of true crime podcasts.

We were worried, you know, murderer living in your neighbourhood.

What if... How long ago are we talking about?

A few days.

No, since this man murdered someone.

Erm...

..he was released 17 years ago.

And he hasn't committed any crime since or given you a reason to...

That we're aware of.

Have you interacted with this...

Michael McAllister, that is his name. Michael McAllister.

No, not intentionally, but I think he might have seen Sally

and somehow, I don't know, I know it might sound ridiculous...

Did Sally have any kind of a pre-existing relationship

with this Michael McAllister?

No, of course not.

And you?

Me?! No.

W-we were just concerned.

Do you think it might... It seems unlikely.

But I'll look into it.

On the whole, please leave the...sleuthing to us.

And perhaps if Mrs Bowman comes around... When...

..when she comes around.

..she'll be able to tell us exactly who's responsible.

They're all over the house.

They think I did it. You?

Most of these things turn out to be domestic something.

Lots of people will be thinking, anyway. They always do.

I've spoken to the Principal.

Three days' suspension.

It could have been a lot worse.

At least you'll be back in time for your exams proper.

So, you know how it was a mock exam.

Could I maybe get a mock suspension

and still go to the school disco tomorrow night?

Nice try.

And no.

Now, the question is, who am I breaking the bad news to?

Your mum or your dad?

So, tell all.

Your man?

Oh, yeah, we had a good talk...

..a frank exchange of views.

And now he's buried under the patio.

You're awful! Hmm.

But at least you're talking. Yeah, well, we'll see.

What about yous?

Er, well, I thought we were getting there and-and...

..then he...

..er...

..rolled in last night after midnight...

..drunk as a skunk. He could barely stand. He...

..he was all...

..cuts and bruises.

What happened to him?

Well, he doesn't remember.

He was in such a state, I...

..I felt sorry for him.

PHONE RINGS

Sorry.

Er, hello.

ON PHONE: This is Mr McDaid.

Andrew's been caught cheating. He did what?

Yeah, in his mocks, I'm afraid.

Er... He's been suspended for three days. Sure.

I'll come get him and...

I can drop Andrew home now.

No, there's no need for that, Mr McDaid.

Oh, it's no trouble. I've got a free period.

Right, that-that's very kind of you.

See you soon.

Everything all right?

My boy's been up to no good.

His teacher's dropping him home.

He's probably going to read me the riot act as well. I'd better go.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

And just be careful out there.

Careful? A woman was attacked last night. You know,

up around Silver Lodge Gardens.

That's terrible. Yeah.

What's the world coming to?

Hey. I hope you know what you're doing.

Your brother's a fucking headcase.

Yes, Mrs McDaid.

That man I told you about, Michael McAllister? Yes.

He was out on the town last night.

When he got back, he was covered in blood.

He attacked Sally. I know it.

And how would you know this, Mrs McDaid?

It doesn't matter how I know it.

You need to arrest him now, before he attacks somebody else.

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

Fucker! Got you!

Fucking got you!

All right, boss. Still working on those schedules.

Unless, er, of course, you're not here to talk about the schedules?

Aye, aye.

My daughter called me this morning.

She said that you were enjoying yourself last night.

That's very kind of her to keep you updated.

That when you got home, you were inebriated.

That you were driving drunk.

A place like this, reputation is everything.

Someone steps out of line, half an hour later, everyone knows.

Do you know who that reflects on?

You...probably.

Where did you go last night, Michael?

I-I'll tell you where you went.

On the town.

You were seen staggering around.

Do you know who else was on the town last night, Michael?

No. Sally Bowman.

Were you out with her or did you just follow her home?

Because she was attacked outside her house.

She's in hospital.

Show me your hands. Don't-don't touch me.

Oh, you're a big man now, are you?

Weren't so big when I found you in prison,

frightened of your own shadow.

That was a long time ago.

She hasn't woken up.

She might never wake up.

Maybe you'd like that.

Well, here's the thing, Michael.

Someone has reported you.

Someone is pointing the finger at you.

Me?

Lena has told me that you have blackouts,

that you can never remember what you've done.

Michael...

..pray with me, son, eh?

Father, thank you,

that our sins may be forgiven through Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your promise that our sins may be put behind your back.

Can you just fucking stop?

If this woman...if this woman has wronged you,

you have no place to take revenge.

You must leave room for God's wrath... I'm going out.

..for it is written, it is mine to avenge, I will repay.

OK, look, look, go home, yes, go home over the border, like you always do.

Run away. But listen to me.

You have a choice.

We can protect you

or we can be the instruments of the Lord's vengeance.

And, Michael...Michael, listen to me!

I didn't attack her!

Will somebody talk to me. What's he doing home?

He's suspended from school. He was cheating in his mock.

She's awake anyway.

My God.

That's brilliant!

Can I come and see her?

Cathy, she's not in a good place right now

and...to be honest,

she thinks what happened...

..might have something to do with you.

With me? She's told me all about it, Cathy.

That man...

McAllister? She's scared.

Did she see him?

Was it him?

It was him, wasn't it?

She doesn't remember anything!

All she knows is that YOU started something

by pursuing this man and now this happened!

I know you've got history with him, but it has nothing to do with us!

We shouldn't be involved.

Do you think it's my fault?

You know that's not for me to say, Cathy.

It's whether you think it's your fault that's important.

Do you think it's your fault?

I think she shouldn't have told Gary.

And what does Raymie think?

"Well, if you hadn't stalked him in the first place..."

Were you stalking him?

I was just keeping an eye on him.

Well, what is it they say?

"It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye."

They also say, "In the kingdom of the blind,

"the one-eyed man is king."

Is that how you feel, Cathy?

That you're the only one who can see what's going on?

What about your meds, Cathy?

The one-eyed man.

SHE SCOFFS

Come on, pick up!

Mrs McDaid?

What can I do for you?

Uh, yeah, I was just wondering if there was an update?

Have you spoke to him, or...

Mrs McDaid, that gentleman has been eliminated from our inquiries.

What?!

S... No. That's... It's not possible.

I... Now, while we appreciate your concern,

this is an ongoing investigation.

If there are any updates to be given,

they will be communicated to those directly involved.

I don't know what else I can say or...or do, but...

This isn't about school.

Are yous getting divorced? What? No!

Uh, that's actually what we want to talk to you about.

The woman...is called Sally Bowman.

Do you know who that is?

Right, well, your search history tells me that you do.

Andrew.

We're your parents. If you have done anything, we'll support you.

What are you talking about?

Sally Bowman was attacked last night.

She's in the hospital.

And what's that got to do with me?

Honey...

..I found your phone outside her house.

That's either a very big coincidence, or...

..you had some reason to be there.

Andrew, did you do something?

Oh, love, you can just tell us why you were there, love.

I was just curious!

It was on my way home.

So I thought I'd take a look.

My phone must have dropped out there.
