[upbeat music]

[suspenseful music]

-[sirens wailing]
-[suspenseful music]

All right, cub.

Right, ye both.

Oh, go large last night,
did you? At the wedding?

[chuckles] Where's Finn?

He's inside with the fire guys.

-Morning, all.
-Morning, Sir.

An accelerant was used to
deliberately start the fire.

Looks like we've
got an arson attack.

The victim is
Ginette Prince, 83.

The Honourable Ginette Prince?

Yeah, retired judge.

Been living in the Coach
House for six months

since her husband passed away.

That's her son, Julian,
and his wife, Kelly.

-See what they got to say?
-Yeah.

[soft music]

Can you tell us what
happened here this morning?

I was on my way to
golf with Dot Harper.

Dot phoned to cancel.

So I got back in the door and
thought I smelt something.

I went up the stairs.

Smoke was billowing everywhere.

I must have tripped, because
I only remember Kelly.

Aye, I was out in the
yard, heard a scream.

I rushed in, dragged her out.

[Ginette coughing]

Just take it easy, Mrs
Prince. This can wait.

-[Ginette coughing]
-Quick, help her!

My handbag, it's in the car.

Kelly will bring it
to the hospital, Mum.

Can you go and get it?

Kelly, we just have a
couple of more questions,

if you don't mind?

Did you see anyone
else in the yard

at the time of the fire?

I don't know.

I think I saw a couple of fellas

going across the
field towards town.

Can you tell us about
their appearances?

Two figures, just couldn't
really see nothing else.

Kelly! Are you ready?

Sorry, I got to go.

[soft music]

[car engine roaring]

What an absolute dog's dinner.

Whereabouts were
you when it started?

Oh, to be honest, I wasn't up.

Kelly's normally out
feeding the animals.

Mum's normally playing golf.

I just wish she had
been this morning.

Don't worry, your
mum's in good hands.

I know. And she's
tough, is Ginette.

Put a good few criminals
behind bars over the years.

She was a pretty senior judge.

Death threats coming out
of her ears at one point.

Never lost a wink of sleep.

Leila will be the
investigating officer.

She's been on a major
organised crime investigation

over in England recently.

I just want them caught,
so my mum can be safe.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

I checked in with the hospital

to see when we can resume
the interview with Ginette.

It's a sensitive case.

Ginette put a lot of
people away over the years.

In certain circles,

the wounds of the past
have never healed.

Then we'll need to
look carefully at
who her enemies are.

-[soft music]
-[crows cawing]

[woman] Squat.

Squat.

[Woman] Then into
a set of burpees.

Squat.

Burpee.

[door knocking]

Oh, for flip's sake!

[soft music]

Good morning, Concepta.

Yes, Siobhan?

I have something to say.

You said enough last night.

As did you.

Can I come in?

Here's fine.

I'm not saying it
on the doorstep.

It concerns all of our
futures. But up to you.

[soft music]

[upbeat music]

Here you go. Cheers.

Hey.

So were you expecting your
ex to turn up last night?

No. Siobhan took
us all by surprise.

Weddings sure bring
people together.

Ginette's still being
treated for smoke inhalation,

so can't speak to
her for a while.

She sure was a busy judge.

Let me see.

Yeah, there's one or
two names I recognise.

Oh, no, here we
go. Floyd Finnegan.

I think the technical term
is violent psychopath.

I remember.

Barry was inspector when
most of this was going down,

so might be worth
picking his brain.

Okay, fine. He's staffing
the Commodore, isn't he?

Yeah, until Clint and Nicole

come back from their
honeymoon, yeah.

-I'll go check in with him.
-Okay.

[soft music]

What a nerve.

Galloping around with
her son's PE teacher,

then waltzing in here

as if the whole
debacle never happened.

Will you whisht? Siobhan
will be out in a second.

Here.

-Hiya, Leila.
-Hi, wee love.

That'll help the head.

There's nothing
wrong with my head.

I don't get hangovers.

Oh, really?

Ah, thanks, Barry.

I made out that
wee list for you,

the enemies of Ginette Prince.

-Oh, hello again-
-Leila.

-Oh, yes. Siobhan, yes.
-I remember.

What's going on?

What, did you not hear? An
arson attack up at Scarfield.

Or attempted murder. Ginette
Prince is in hospital.

Oh, is she now? Well,
you reap what you sow.

An amazing woman, Ginette.

Aye. I always had time
for her and her husband.

You know them, then?

Oh, yes, they were
patients of mine.

I was a partner at
the practise here.

Of course. What about
her son and his wife?

I never got a handle on Julian.

Still married, is he?
I'm out of the loop.

Julian Prince is sound enough.

I mean, he never reached
the dizzy heights of his ma.

But he's a good lad.

And so what if him and
Kelly are the odd couple?

Odd couple?

Ginette Prince lording
it over everyone,

then ends up with the gold
digger daughter-in-law

from the roughest
council estate around.

Well, the old girl
certainly had panache.

Ah, she liked her accessories.

Ginette was all about
the handbag, if I
remember correctly.

Always flaunting her wealth,
couldn't help herself.

Well, I think we could all agree

it's bad luck being burned
out of your own house.

Suppose it is, aye.

You ready?

Aye, good to go.

-Be seeing yous.
-Bye, Barry.

[soft music]

I have nothing but respect
for Ginette Prince.

But see the ones on that list?

They'll be glad to see
her in an early grave.

But this was years
ago, though, wasn't it?

You'd think they'd
do something now?

Ah, you have a point.

Most of them would be
a ripe age themselves.

So, why today?

-[upbeat music]
-[crows cawing]

So, I've run those names.

Quite a few of them are dead,

two of them are whooping it
up on the Costa del Crime,

so it doesn't
leave us with much.

If Ginette's normally out

on the golf course
every morning,

surely she can't have been
the target of the fire?

Yeah, you're right,
it doesn't make sense.

[phone chimes]

The fire was started in
a trunk in the bedroom.

Do we know what
was in the trunk?

Not yet, contents were
pretty much destroyed.

[phone rings]

Weird that they'd go all
the way to the bedroom

to set the fire.

Unless they were burning
this trunk deliberately.

Or its contents.

Right. That was the hospital.

Ginette has responded
well to treatment.

They've cleared
her for interview,

so we should head down there.

-Give me a lift, then.
-See you.

-[soft music]
-[van engine roaring]

I saw your wife in
the Commodore earlier.

Really?

With your mum.

Oh. Right.

Which seems odd,

since you told me they
were mortal enemies.

Well, they are.

I just thought Siobhan would've
gone back to Belfast by now.

Are you being completely
straight with me?

Of course I am.

I was just as shocked as you
that she turned up last night.

And you took her home.

With the kids. And she
slept in the spare room.

And it doesn't change anything.

No?

All that stuff she was
saying about coming home

and getting her
family back together.

Maybe she thinks
you're taking her back?

I seriously doubt that Siobhan
thinks we're reconciling.

It's more likely she's
lining up divorce papers,

to be honest.

But whatever she thinks,
it doesn't matter.

You're the one
I'm interested in.

[soft music]

Duty calls.

I must ask, did you
see anyone this morning

on or around the property?

Didn't see a soul.

Have you had any recent
threats, Mrs Prince?

We're aware that you had
security measures in the past.

I have been retired a
long time. And no threats.

The fire was started in
a trunk in the bedroom.

Was it used for
anything in particular?

Ginette keeps all her
good handbags in it.

I have a small collection.

It's kind of her thing.

They're worth a heck
of a lot of money.

Why on earth would someone come
in wanting to destroy them?

Well, I suppose, it
could be malicious.

How would they know
where I keep them?

Oh, it's a preposterous idea.

Ginette, don't upset yourself.

The doctor said she should rest.

Of course. Thank you.

[soft music]

[crows cawing]

20,000 steps on the
fitness tracker.

But no sightings of any
men running away on foot.

Forensics have identified

the accelerant used
to start the fire

as alkylate 4-stroke.

That's the fuel used for
lawnmowers, if I'm not mistaken.

That's right, I saw a ride-on
lawnmower up at Scarfield.

Using the owner's own
fuel to start the fire

sounds opportunistic to me,

rather than some
planned revenge attack.

If the fire was started
when Ginette was out,

then a dodgy insurance claim

is definitely a line of inquiry.

By Julian and Kelly?

Kelly was quick to call time

on the interview with Ginette,

once the handbags
were mentioned.

I'd like to question
Julian further.

-Let's get back up there.
-All right.

Shall we give the
door-to-door another bash?

See if we can get you past
the 50,000 mark [chuckles].

Come on.

[soft music]

Sea air, eh?

People say it clears the
head, but I don't think so.

All the oxygen
bombards the system.

The brain's under
enough stress already,

so it just shuts down.

Well, you're still putting one
foot in front of the other,

so don't be worrying.

That was some turn
up for the books,

Siobhan pitching up, what?

Oh, I know.

Concepta nearly had a kitten.
Poor Finn was gob-smacked.

So?

So?

So, then what happened?

There was a lot of hugs.

With Siobhan and Finn?

Siobhan, Nicole.
Nicole and Clint.

Siobhan, Nicole, Clint.
Clint and Finn and Nicole.

Clint and Finn.

Aye, you're remembering well.

Well, where were you?

Sure, I was taking
Uncle Barry home.

-Oh, right.
-Here, I am starving.

Focuses the mind, hunger.

Tell you what we'll do, we'll
knock on a couple more doors

and if we don't
come across anyone,

we'll just grab a bacon butty.

Deal.

But, hey, before we go,

what did Siobhan say
to Finn now exactly?

She said she'd come home.

Aye, I know that
bit. I meant after...

Let's just grab a
bacon butty, Callum.

Beezer.

[soft music]

Oh, they're lovely.

Trixie!

All the best.

-Cheerio.
-Very nice to see you, bye.

[soft music]

I'll take this on over
to the house, shall I?

Thank you.

What is going on?
You and that one.

Are yous best
friends now, or what?

You keep your beak out of it.

[soft music]

See, that Kelly? She's so
full of life and good looking.

You wonder how she ever ended
up with that auld lad, Julian.

Now, there's your
classic age-old exchange,

cash for youth.

Thinking about him and
his creepy auld neck

and his minging liver-spotted
hands all over her,

it makes me want to boke.

He's not that old, Callum!

How am I ever gonna meet anyone

when all these auld duffers
have bagged the decent ones

and I'm left with
the bogtrotters?

You know women don't
like whingers, Callum?

You gonna eat that?

Aye.

[sea gull squealing]

[Marlene laughs]

Nice?

[upbeat music]

We thought you might still
be at the hospital, Kelly.

I told you Mum was robust.
Classic battle-ax, in fact.

You know, she's the Lady
Bracknell of Port Devine.

A handbag [laughs]?

Don't worry, I didn't have a
notion what he was on about

when we started going out.

Julian's so well read.

Kelly thought that Oscar
Wilde was a dog food brand.

Honest, that's true, so it is.

It's like My Fair
Lady round here.

What do you call the book again?

Pygmalion. That's
not even Wilde.

Another Irish playwright,
though. Bernard Shaw.

Did anyone else know where
the handbags were kept?

Workers on the estate, perhaps?

No, only family.

Since we've sold off
some of the land,

we do most of the
work now ourselves.

They're all insured.

I have the details
here somewhere.

We'll be making a claim.

The Fire Service have confirmed

the blaze was started
with an accelerant.

Do you hold lawnmower fuel here?

We do, yes.

Could you show me where
the fuel supplies are kept?

Yes, of course. You know
where they are, don't you?

[soft music]

[car engine roaring]

You know what, it's not
me. It's this hick town.

If I was back in the Big Smoke,

I'd be out with a
different girl every night.

Thought you were saving
yourself for Leila?

Weren't you going to
ask her out last night?

-Last night.
-Yeah.

It was a bit of a
complex one, that.

Yeah?

Hey, we've looked everywhere.

There's no arsonists in sight,
so will we flag the station?

I'll get your rubbish for you.

It's all right.

[soft music]

It's suspicious they couldn't
find the lawnmower fuel.

Well, if it was
those two fellas,

they could've
taken it with them.

Or someone in the
family got rid of it.

Kelly was hiding
something, wasn't she?

Definitely.

So, this was found in the trunk?

Look at that logo.

-Nope, none the wiser.
-Chanel.

Oh, right.

Looks like a dust cover
for a Chanel handbag.

To protect them. That
one there's Prada.

Weird there's no remnants
of the handbags themselves.

Yeah, there's not even
a metal clasp left.

Any luck?

No. Checked the whole town.

Literally, no-one saw
two men absconding.

So, remnants of a fire,

but no remnants of
actual handbags?

The fire was set

to make it look like the
handbags were destroyed,

to cover the theft.

Julian made it very clear

they were going to put
in an insurance claim.

Maybe they're not as
well off as they seem.

Do you know what, we gave
that girl, Kelly, a lift once.

Her car had broken down
on the dual-carriageway.

She didn't have the money
to pay for the tow truck.

[soft music]

Callum, can you make inquiries

about the family's finances?

Yeah.

[soft music]

Have you bay leaf in that?

I have. Pass the-

Is that cow? Don't
forget I'm vegan.

With a gob the size of
yours, who could forget?

Right, pipe down,
Shay, will you?

Nanny's got you a
Mahon's nut roast.

Mr Mahon's daughter's
one, as well.

[soft music]

[sea gulls squealing]

If Kelly's totally dependent
on Julian economically,

but suddenly needed the funds,

that's a clear motive for
stealing the handbags.

It certainly is.

Ginette and Julian both
have bank accounts.

There's money in
Julian's account,

but Kelly doesn't
have access to it.

Bit weird she doesn't
have her own cash,

given the family that she's in.

Maybe they don't trust
her with their money?

[ominous music]

Hello?

Hello! Hello?

Kelly?

No-one down there. I'll check
round the back of the house.

Kelly?

[upbeat music]

She's done a runner.

Can I help you at all?

I'd appreciate a call before
you come into our home.

I'm sorry, but we
have good reason.

We need to speak
to Kelly urgently.

I don't know where she is.

It seems like she's
left in a hurry,

and she's not
answering her phone.

We made inquiries
into Kelly's finances.

It appears she has
no access to money.

That was for her own good.

I mean, she and I
decided on that.

She got into some trouble
with credit cards in the past,

decided to cut them up.

So I've been paying
off her debt for her.

We need to question
Kelly over the fire.

So, anything we can uncover

in terms of clues
to her whereabouts?

And the handbags' whereabouts.

All right if we have a
further look around, Julian?

[soft music]

Kelly could be anywhere by now.

You don't think Julian
knows of her whereabouts?

Nah. He was as shocked as us.

What about Ginette?

Kelly hasn't been
back to the hospital.

Ginette hasn't heard
from her either.

How are you getting
on there, Callum?

The tech team have gone
through Kelly's social media.

She has a number of connections.

Some known criminals from
the estate she grew up on.

Anyone we recognise?

[Callum] Marty Bakewell.

Oh, aye, right
dodgy piece of work.

They were both on a messaging
app until 45 minutes ago.

[Marlene] Let's go and
pay Marty a wee visit.

[soft music]

What the hell is
Julian doing here?

Mr Prince?

Kelly! I know you're in there!

-I know you're in there!
-Mr Prince, wait.

I'm looking for my wife.

I'm following her
live on this app.

This is none of your business.

There they are.

[soft music]

I'm sorry, I-

So am I, Kelly, but
you're under arrest.

The missing handbags.

[ominous music]

[Leila] Kelly, is it
possible you started the fire

to cover the theft of
Ginette's handbags?

No comment.

Were you under such
financial pressure

that it was your only option?

No comment.

Did you not consider the
risk to your mother-in-law

when you set the fire?

I'd never hurt
Ginette on purpose.

What's wrong with your arm?

It's fine. It's nothing.

How long's Julian been
tracking your movements?

I didn't know he was, like-

Kelly is not bad with money.

There were no credit
card debts racked up,

as Julian claimed.

It appears he controls
the purse strings

and he's tracking her movements.

Are you serious?

So she's been acting
out of desperation?

To get away from him, yes.

So, this is a case
of coercive control?

I think it's even
worse than that.

[door knocking]

Hey.

Inspector, Siobhan and I spoke
in the Commodore earlier.

The Princes are her
former patients.

Okay.

I saw Kelly flinch. She's
clearly in some physical pain.

And when Julian appeared,
she looked terrified.

We need to establish
if she's injured.

I'd like her examined.

Not a problem. Happy to help.

Good. We can touch base after.

Yeah, I'll be seeing you
later. The family dinner.

Concepta texted you?

Yeah. You going
to that, as well?

This way.

[door closing]

-[soft music]
-[sea gulls squealing]

You've seen Dr O'Hare.

She says there's severe
bruising on your arms,

your back, your torso.

Kelly, we're concerned.

Can you tell us
what's been going on?

People look up to that family.

I never, ever had that.

All the crap I had growing up,

even with people judging me,

I mean, I'm a nobody, but
they can't say nothing

because of us being married
and who Julian's family are.

No-one's a nobody, Kelly.

[soft music]

[Kelly sobbing]

If you'd managed to
sell the handbags,

you'd have had enough
to leave, wouldn't you?

To get away.

So, he has been hurting you?

[soft music]

What about Ginette? Did
she know what was going on?

You seem close.

I didn't want her to know.

I thought she
suspected for a while.

But Julian threatened
to put Ginette in a home

if she got wind, so I
just made sure I hid it.

[soft music]

So, you know nothing
about these marks?

That's correct. I never
laid a finger on her.

But I wouldn't put it
beyond her to self-harm.

To try and deflect attention
from what she has done.

You know, it's a new
low, trying to blame me.

It's her weasley attempt
to shirk responsibility.

This is arson and theft
we're talking about here.

She stole my mother's property,

she set fire to the
house that she was in.

Now, are you going
to waste more time,

or are you gonna
go and charge her?

[soft music]

It's his word against hers

and from what you've all said,
he's got a lot of standing.

Julian Prince is clearly
a manipulative bully,

but he's hidden it well.

Most people think
he's a solid guy.

I'm sorry to say this,

but just because Kelly is
a victim of domestic abuse.

It doesn't mean she's
off the hook for arson.

She could be facing jail time.

-[door knocking]
-Yeah?

Ginette Prince has been on the
phone, she wants an update.

Who knows what picture
she'll paint of Kelly?

-We'd better go find out.
-Yep.

-[soft music]
-[sea gulls squealing]

Your daughter-in-law, Kelly,

she's under arrest
for theft and arson,

with intent to endanger life.

She's confessed to that?

Well, no, because she's
currently being treated

for injuries unrelated
to that charge.

Is she all right?

I would say, she hasn't
been in a long while.

I knew she was
struggling. I saw bruises.

Just once, a while
ago when I asked her,

she made excuses.

So I went to Julian.

He swore to me that it
was a drunken mistake.

I really wanted to believe that.

But in his darkest moments,

Julian would frighten
even a judge.

So I blame myself.

I want you to know I
won't be pressing charges.

It may not be as simple as that.

We have a duty to protect
and safeguard people.

I do know something
about the law, you know.

This is a family matter.

If I were sitting on this case,
I would exercise discretion.

But this won't get to a judge.

Kelly didn't steal
my handbags, you see.

I gave them to her.

You can only use one handbag
at one time, after all.

What would an old bird
like me be doing with 10?

[soft music]

Finally.

Julian Prince, you
are under arrest

for domestic violence
motivated common assault

on Kelly Prince.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention

when questioned something
you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may
be given in evidence.

This is ridiculous!

These are criminal allegations.

We have a witness statement.

Oh, my mum? Oh, she
always has an opinion.

She's always judging!
She knows nothing.

No-one is gonna
believe Kelly over me.

She is an arsonist and a thief!

We've been able to establish
the fire was an accident,

and Kelly's been cleared
of stealing the handbags.

So I suggest you sit down and
engage with us, Mr Prince.

[door opening]

Kelly, you're free to go.

We interviewed
your mother-in-law,

and she told us how she'd
given you the handbags.

But-

She wanted you to have them.

What about the fire?

Oh, yeah. She used fuel to
clean the handbag clasps.

Thinks she forgot to put
the lid on properly, so-

It was a deathtrap
waiting to happen.

[Marlene] Yeah.

Thank you [sobs].

[crows cawing]

Excellent result, Detective.

I'd really rather not
go to this dinner,

but I can't get out of it.

No, you can't. So,
what's the plan?

Divide the furniture,
hire a mediator?

You have Concepta.

The Concept as a mediator?

She's fierce, but at least
you'd have her on your side.

Why are we talking
about my mother?

Listen, if you're
free tomorrow night

maybe we could pick
up where we left off?

[soft music]

Maybe.

[upbeat music]

All right, Da?

Everything all right?

Oh, yeah.

Nanny and Mum doing
my head in slightly.

They'll be on their
way soon enough, yeah?

And then it'll be
back to Lads Central.

All right.

Hiya. I'm having a wee glass
of wine, do you want one?

Yeah.

[soft music]

[Kelly] Oh, Ginette,
I'm so sorry!

[Ginette] Shh, it's okay.

I'm just sorry I didn't...

I couldn't stop him.

If you could have helped
me, you would have,

I know that.

[Ginette] Shh. It's okay.

[soft music]

Got through a lot today.

We did, yeah.

[soft music]

The women of the hour.

I think that's Kelly.

That's all of you.

[crows cawing]

Do you want me to get this?

No, I'm doing it. I've
got asbestos hands.

Right.

Ooh, wow, look at this.

Wow! Amazing, Ma.

Here, Nanny, are
you sure it's dead?

You know, like, Niamh
might be able to save it.

You'll be dead before it.

Nanny's just cooked
us a lovely meal.

She doesn't want to listen
to all this twaddle.

Well, it was a team effort.

[soft music]

A lemonade, a spritzer and
a pint of the black stuff.

Thanks, Barry. Will
we get a booth?

I'll be glad to see Clint
and Nicole back again.

Have you heard from them?

Jet-skiing tomorrow, apparently.

-Nice.
-Talking of nice,

what do you think is going on

between with the
Concept and Siobhan?

She and the woman
previously referred to

as the "Genghis Khan
of daughters-in-law,"

joined at the hip?

Setting up some kind
of family feast?

I know, weird.

[soft music]

You okay there, mate?

Tickety-boo.

No, come on, what
is it? Spit it out.

Leila's seeing someone.

How do you know?

She said last night. I don't
know how I missed it before.

Nah, it seems
unlikely. I mean, who?

No idea.

I suppose, there are
a few wee hotties

tucked away around here.

You've got your man
in the dry-cleaner's.

Very masterful individual.

Or even old silver
fox Baz there.

Do you know what I mean?

[upbeat music]

Based on Ginette's statement,

we had enough to charge Julian.

If he's going away,

well, Kelly can put her
life back together again.

Let's hit the Commodore,

you've earned
yourselves a coke float.

I'm totally stuffed...

Stoked to be going there.

Catch you pair later.

Yeah, well, you know Ma.

She's full of good
intentions but-

Finn, will you listen a sec?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, what I did, Shay's PE
teacher, it was unforgivable.

Siobhan, you don't need to-

No, I do, Finn.

But no matter how badly,
atrociously I behaved,

I think you still owe it to
me to sit down and listen.

[soft music]

So, come on, Septic.

This time last year,

you were for taking out
a contract on Siobhan.

What's changed?

Do those glasses there
not need a polish?

You can't have Nicole coming
back to a pile of mess.

Long day?

Tell me about it.

You forget how exhausting
it is, being nice.

What's been going on?

That hallion of a
daughter-in-law, that's what.

[soft music]

Now, we both knew
there were problems.

Well, it's never
one person's fault-

That doesn't mean to say I
can't take responsibility

for my actions.

That's what I want to do here.

But what I don't think is useful
is going over and over it.

If you believe I
am genuine, Finn-

I believe you're
genuine, but, Von-

I want to draw a line.
Start mending things.

I know you thought I was
just here with Niamh,

here for the sake
of the kids, but...

Because, you know,
there's work to do.

I think it could be
bright, our future

if you're willing
to take on board.

Take on board?

That I still love you.

Can we try again?

[soft music]

Well, Mr Negroni sure
beats Barry's green slime.

Before Siobhan, Finn was
going out with a lovely girl.

Now, she would've been
the ideal for him.

From just up the coast,
she was. Gorgeous family.

Brother was a priest,
father conducted a choir.

Holiday cottage in Portnoo.

Where?

That's all in the past.

Because, Finn and Siobhan

they are married
in the eyes of God.

Do they even believe-

For better or for worse.

And Lord knows I could
tell you about that.

And that is why...

That's why it's right they're
getting back together.

[upbeat music]
