[birds chirping]

[soft music]

[car engine revving]

[police officers open car door]

What are you smirking about?

Well, as you can tell, I'm pretty knackered for Sam.

See, I was kept awake by a rather fine.

Shh, don't Knock on the head.

Pastor Grey, you reported a missing person?

Yes, my farmhand Donal Mackenzie.

When did you last see him?

Shortly before nine o'clock last night.

Have you tried to reach him on the phone?

No answer, he wouldn't just stop and go somewhere

without saying.

I'm thinking there's been an accident.

Okay.

We'll take a look.

[cows mooing]

[tense music]

I'm hoping this Donal guy,

we're gonna open his mitzvah code.

Well, if he's doing the walk of shame,

that makes two of us.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

The lid's been left off,

that's not usual right?.

No of course , it's not.

Oh!

The crust has been disturbed.

Oh, what's your step?

What is it?

There's some blood.

And by the looks of these boot prints,

two people were at the edge,

let's get evidence protection codes done.

Why, you think this foul play?

Like murder?

[exhales heavily] [indistinct].

[dramatic music]

Leila.

[soft music]

Hates herself.

[indistinct]

Wow, I just, was always told that one night,

been cuddled afterwards.

[Marlene clears throat]

You said on the phone,

there's been a suspected farm accident.

Yeah.

If not something a lot more serious.

Did you get to talk to Siobhan last night?

No.

Okay.

Marlene, wait.

Why?

She told me that things were sorted between you two,

in fact, she told me things were stronger than ever.

[Man] What?

Why would she think that?

Wow.

Because I told her that no matter what,

we would always be family.

[birds chirping]

[clears throat] What's Barry doing here?

Pastor Grey is an old family friend.

Firefighters have pulled the body out of this pit.

[dramatic music]

So let's say one set of footprints are the victim's,

who owns this here?

Pastor Grey said he hadn't been near the pit in days,

only Donal had.

And the blood?

A farm man's tough work,

there's lots of ways someone can cut themselves.

Let's stick to the work in theory

that this was a farm accident

and discreetly relay anything suspicious.

Yeah.

Careful, watch your step?

Taking into account that as a kid,

everything I knew about the countryside

was from "Watership Down".

Can I ask, what's a slurry pit?

I mean, I feel like I can smell what it is,

but why is it so dangerous?

So the cattle's excrement fold through the slots

and then it's stored there

until it choose to fertilise the phase in the spring.

It's a very dangerous gas and as a few fall into that-

Got it.

There's nowhere to go.

Nope.

So, this Pastor Grey runs a church and a farm?

No, he doesn't run a church.

He's a straight preacher, given I tracked student sermons

in the ten centres up and down the country.

Which is why some of the locals love them,

and the others loathe them.

[tense music]

Okay.

Pastor Grey, I'm sorry to have to inform you

that we have found a body in the slurry pit.

Donal?

We believe so, yes.

[birds chirping]

I'll be over as soon as...

Yeah, I gotta go.

Okay, bye.

Good morning, good doctor.

Aw, you really didn't need to.

Your shelves are bare, someone needed to.

Right, well, the kids will be down in a minute.

You know, when I was 30,

it was you doing the cooking for your nanny.

Story that gets better with every telling.

I must say I was surprised to get your call.

I thought you were steering clear to work

until Leila was over her ordeal.

Ah, Leila's doing great.

They need some extra local help at the practise,

so I'll be as quick as possible

that Finn might be in before me.

I'll let you know if he calls.

That wasn't him on the phone there, aye?

I know, that was something else.

Listen, I need to run.

Siobhan, you've been given a second chance

to be the wife and mother to Finn and the kids

that they deserve.

[birds chirping]

I'm aware.

And I have no intention of letting anything

get in the way of that.

And hope not.

By the way, because watch his face, a fancy man.

-The PE teacher- -Addie?

Has he been in touch recently?

No.

Okay, hope you have a nice day at work.

[soft music]

Donal had been patching some fence in the lower phase,

could've caught himself in the wire.

And the footprints, suppose, say, could have been me

from when I was searching for him.

I'm sorry, Pastor Grey.

I thought you told my colleague

you hadn't been around the pit in days,

but you actually were there this morning?

I met before this morning, I've not been there for days.

[police officer knocks door]

I just heard about Donal, dad you okay?

I'm fine.

Marcus is a senior solicitor at Dotty Cassidy and Cayden.

And you knew your father was here because-

Because Barry called me.

You look like you've barely slept, you must be exhausted,

I'm sure any more statements can wait.

What I would've you wished,

stop fussing over me like a sick calf.

So, it was just you and Donal living on the farm?

Yes, Marcus has his own place and time.

I'm not long back from Lebanon, Belfast.

By chance, would you have any photographs of Donal?

Why would I?

No, I don't.

I have 300 cattle that has to be milked.

Detective Constable Hussain, Sergeant Pettigrew,

can I have moment.

Milking?

He's got interesting priorities,

When a body's just been fished out of his slurry pit.

He's in shock.

Listen, we've had an update from CSIA.

The victim's shirt had a big rip down the front

and some buttons missing.

So maybe there was a scuffle?

Which would explain the blood spatter.

[tense music]

Just a couple more questions Pastor Grey.

The last you saw Donal,

did you notice anything unusual about his attire?

What he was wearing?

[Man] What's the relevance of them?

We learned Donal's shirt was ripped.

He was fine the last I saw him.

Did you know of anything going on in Donal's life,

that may have been distracting him?

Donal, have been having a rough time with his sister.

She's terrible on money, that was bothering him.

I know the how to, 10, 60 inch yesterday,

but I didn't hear any details.

Do you have a contact number for the sister?

No, but I know where the parasite lives.

[birds chirping]

[soft music]

Morning Nicole?

Hi.

-Great. -Oh yeah.

Have you got a minute?

I could use some advice.

Of course, babe.

Listen, I've been keeping something-

Your GP, how accurate are these things?

Oh, you're trying for a baby?

No luck yet though, it's making me really worried.

We've been trying for more than six months.

Huh?

We've been trying for how long?

[soft music]

Listen, about earlier with Finn.

Leila, I don't wanna get in the middle of all this.

If I'd known there was any confusion with Siobhan,

nothing would have happened last night.

I'm no homewrecker, okay?

I know that.

[woman knocking door]

[Beverly opens door]

Hello, Beverly Mackenzie?

Does it buy my benefits?

I can assure you, I suffer from a number of rare,

but very real medical conditions.

No.

My brother called you?

Like I'm sure this is all like a misunderstanding.

I'm sorry, we have some terrible news.

We believe your brother Donal has been killed

in a farming accident.

I'm sorry.

[sombre music]

[birds chirping]

What if there's something wrong with one of us?

Maybe we could get an appointment with you this afternoon?

Get some fertility tests started.

I'm not in today.

You see, I have got-

Here. Is that why you've been sending me

to this occupancy all these months?

It's also good for your chai.

Oh, we could get Clinton tomorrow,

the male tests are very straight forward.

It's not gonna be me?

I thought we didn't start trying until honey moon.

Why is it definitely not you?

Just because, well, you know, just...

Look, there's no fuck we may junk, all right?

The fragile male ego.

Right, I guess I should go on.

Thanks for the chat.

-Yeah. -No worries love.

[footsteps pattering]

You got something to tell me?

No, just, you look gorgeous.

[sombre music]

That's a nice one of Donal.

Pastor Grey told us.

Oh, I bet he'd lie to you about the state of my finances.

What debt I have is none of his concern.

Like a lot of people, my credit card and mortgage payments

have ended up in Morton, I can manage.

You have a very nice home.

Cheers.

Do you mind if I?

I understand you met Donal yesterday?

Pastor Grey is obsessed with everyone else's business,

people like him always are

a bunch of god bothering hypocrites.

What makes you say that?

My brother was gay.

Something he kept a secret from the pastor.

Donal felt he had to keep his sexuality

a secret from Pastor Grey?

Have you heard all that crap Grey spews out?

I'll illustrate.

Vile, homophobic stuff.

Lord knows, what he had done if the righteous pastor

had find out he had one of that elk living under his roof.

Beverly, do you believe that Donal

would have been in trouble if Pastor Grey

had discovered he was gay?

Yes.

Beverly, I know this is incredibly difficult,

but we need someone to accompany us,

to formally identify the body.

Okay, I'll get my stuff.

Here, if you see any strange looking plants,

about the place, they're medicinal.

I mean they're not mine.

I can see the pastor losing his temper.

There are a lot of ways to describe Pastor Grey,

but hateful, no, I'll need more convincing.

-[birds chirping] -[soft music]

You know, there's no shame in taking a day off.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength in my heart forever.

-No, come on, give it a rest. -You taught me that verse

in Sunday school.

Aye, you were stubborn as a student

and you're stubborn as a man.

There must be something in the water around these parts.

Would you have some respect?

-People just heard about- -I have every right

-to be here. -We're in shock,

we don't need your God on us.

Concepta he's doing no harm.

That lad was loved around here.

Don't you think I know that?

And it's a reminder to think on our own

-and turn- -Is some knack on you?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?

-That man's a menace. -She won't let me be.

Tempers are running high.

Pastor Grey, we were hoping to have another quick chat-

Can it wait, I was just about to-

You know what.

No, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[groans] At me teeth.

Right.

Stop!

Pastor Grey, I think it's best you come with us, okay?

It's all right Tom, I'll get this done.

You okay?

-[police officer groans] -[dramatic music]

No shame love, he made me drop the chips,

I'll go and get more.

I would just need a G and T to settle the nerves first.

Okay, see you soon.

What's all the drama right there?

Oh love, will you hear.

You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you?

I just said what everyone's thinking.

I'll click, he tried for a way he would be back.

Who did you phone that tell you?

No, no.

Pineapple core, my mother swore that.

There was a lot of pineapples around in her day,

was there?

Make sure Clint avoids tidy whities.

Oh, and I've read that sweet potato in every knee,

means you might have twins.

I know sweeping under the bed.

That's an urban myth.

At all.

40 years, I kept onto the bed spotless,

no kids in my home.

Did you have a reappointment that you were going today?

No, shit is not working.

It's all right.

[tense music]

Well, it's not broken.

Oh and there, you sort it.

-Hello there. -Hey.

So, the patient lived?

Can we?

Sure, yeah, let's get some more private.

[tense music]

[birds chirping]

Actually, I'm really glad they brought you in.

Me too.

You know, with everything that's happened,

getting Niamh home, getting to see your fam,

we never finished our conversation about us.

Yeah, and I don't want us to make the mistakes

of our past, if an...

I couldn't deal with it.

You know, I keep thinking about how I've let this happen,

with bad communication and all that brings.

Which is why I wanna be open and totally honest.

Excuse me, inspector.

That's my father's legal console,

you go through me, if you want any more witness interviews.

This was a farm accident,

is this constant interrogation really necessary?

I'm just in the middle of something here,

-could you give me one minute? -I think I'll go, I'll go.

You sure?

We'll talk later I promise.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

Did you know Donal was gay?

Excuse me?

Yes, I've known for months.

I'm with what you believe,

you let them keep living with it.

Donal proved himself to be a good worker.

And he was the only fellow

who treated my cattle how I want, like a real son.

So when he told me he was...

I decided that it wasn't something we'll discuss

and that was that.

Some people might find it hard to believe

that a man of your convictions would react so calmly.

Didn't you feel lied to?

I try to hit the sin and not the sinner.

Donal's sister, Beverly.

She seems to think that Donal's homosexuality

would have come as news to you.

And when you discovered it, you may have been very-

No.

Everything that woman says is poison.

[tense music]

Thing is man, when Nicole smells blood in the water,

she's more deadly than a great white.

You should just take it from me now,

open and honest is the way forward.

What are you two fish fries chattering about?

Finn was just telling me about death, Donal?

Yeah.

Awful stuff.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

No, I don't want an assessor here last night

turned "Strip Harvey Show".

Telling Nicole that I'm definitely not infertile

because I already have a kid

is one hell of a can of worms to open.

Do you not wanna be part of the weekends life?

If the dolphins hoot.

Who knows what will end up on the chopping block,

you wouldn't let that happen to any party.

Thanks, bud.

Nicole is gonna hear all about it one way or the other.

So just make sure she hears it from you man.

Listen, can I look at your CCTV footage?

I aint no boss.

-[tense music] -[birds chirping]

Clearly unhappy with you,

Donal leaves the table for a moment.

When he's gone, you take the opportunity

to pocket his bank card.

Is there an innocent explanation for this?

The financial intelligence check?

It is, they've been sorted,

but not because you'd stolen Donal's bank card.

You'd been given a 3000 pound one off payment last week.

I hear you.

It was Marcus Grey,

he caught wind of something to do with his dad's will

and he wanted me to find out if Donal

was trying to squeeze him out of his own inheritance.

Did you tell Marcus your brother was gay?

I'm a grifter, but I'll always first and foremost,

be loyal to my late brother.

The brother you'd been spying on.

Hold on a second.

If you had the money,

why did you steal Donal's bank card?

If Marcus was right, Donal was gonna inherit a fortune

when he got the farm.

So, it was like, why not?

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

-It's a crime scene. -You don't understand,

if the cows don't get milk, they can get sick,

and that's lost revenue.

My father needs me to get that sorted out.

Everything all right?

CSI, spotted Marcus, breaking the cordon.

I need to get the cattle into the parlour.

We can't let you back inside the cordon

until the forensic work has been completed.

Sure do, you can use a neighbours parlour for one day.

This is nonsense.

I've never seen a solicitor so keen driven at farm work.

Guess he's protecting his precious inheritance.

And not get up?

No, he's up to something else.

[tense music]

[farm tools clanking]

[birds chirping]

[Hussain opens door]

Look what I found hidden in the milking parlour.

Do you recognise them?

Okay, I bet we'll get a match,

on the turn of the footprints by the pit.

So, with that in mind,

do either of you recognise these boots?

[tense music]

Yes, they're mine.

[tense music]

What do you think?

More and more, it feels like assault gone wrong.

Pastor Grey finds out about Donal sexuality.

This is it, a punch to his throat?

Can we, can we step over here.

I don't think Pastor Grey would have reacted with such fury.

Okay, why?

What I'm about to tell you is confidential.

Of course.

So, a good few years ago,

I had been struggling with my own sexuality,

and it was Tom Grey, he helped me realise who I really was.

He gave me as much time as I needed,

he was empathetic and understanding.

Wait, what are you saying?

He gay.

Leila, he's not a homophobe.

Pastor Grey might have a tamper aye?

He may bark the highest, but he would never bite.

Can we go back a few steps?

Who else knows this, does Barry?

It's no one else's business,

and I'd like it to stay that way.

Yeah, sure, of course.

So, what now?

[footsteps pattering]

It doesn't look lived in.

Maybe Donal was just a clean guy.

Let's have a look at Pastor Gray's room.

[tense music]

What's that you got there?

A ring, seems familiar.

Donal was wearing the exact same ring.

[soft music]

[dramatic music]

Unless you're going to explain yourself,

I don't want to hear it.

Look, right after this, there's something I need.

Look at that.

Sweet potato fries.

That's so that we might have twins.

Well, if it will help.

-Mmmh-mmh. -[woman laughing]

Oh, I love you.

I'm sorry I've been on edge all day.

It's just when you said earlier about not needing tested,

it made you be really worried

'cause well, over the years, I've not always been careful,

but I've never fallen pregnant.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking about all the groupies

that you've messed around with on tour.

Don't be silly.

I've had this dream ever since I was away,

My family all around me.

Mum, dad, my tiny, now good in my arms.

Me either too, right?

Ever since I lost my parents, I've been alone.

And no matter how many people I've surrounded myself with,

I've always felt, I don't know apart.

Does that make sense?

And now I've got you.

And we're aiming for more,

it almost feels too good to be true

that I might really get my own little family.

And then I think,

well, what if he already has a squad of kids

and has just never told me.

No, I don't.

Of course, I don't have any kids.

I'm just really scared

that there's something wrong with me,

and that we won't be able to have any children.

We'll both get tested,

and whatever happens we'll deal with it, together, okay?

We'll be fine, we'll be fine.

[soft music]

Is this yours?

Did you and Donal gift these rings to each other?

Don't know you're talking about.

Tom are you gay?

Donal and I were close, the rings were, they were ours.

The boots don't belong to you, do they?

Do you think your son could have been involved

in Donal's death?

[tense music]

Were you jealous of the relationship

Donal had with your dad?

Dad's friendship with him made no sense.

I just wanted Donal to be honest with me.

Instead, he stonewalled me, it was infuriating.

Did you punch him?

Yes.

But not hard, it was just enough

to make him lose his balance and fall into the slurry pit.

I tried to catch him.

I almost had a good grip, but Donal's shirt ripped.

The cloth, it went right through my fingers,

I keep feeling it.

Did your dad know of your own internal stuff,

is that why he claimed that the boots were his?

No, I guess he panicked, he was trying to cover for me.

I never wanted to hurt Donal.

But in less than a year,

he'd done what I've been trying to do my whole life.

See, when I became a solicitor,

I thought that I would earn my dad's respect

or at least get his attention,

but still he kept his distance.

[Hussain opens door]

I'll give you 10 minutes max.

They've told me you've confessed to Donal's death,

what's going on?

I was just trying to protect you.

I knew that Donal was keeping something from us

and when he wouldn't admit to me what he was hiding,

I lost and things got out of hand.

I certainly didn't mean for you

to get in trouble or land with the police,

I'm sorry dad, I'm so, so, so sorry.

You're a nice son.

I didn't think, because this is all my fault.

Donal wouldn't have told you the secret

of what hee was keeping because I made him swear not to.

This is a thorn in my flesh.

I used to lie awake all night,

the doubt coursing through my soul.

But then, in Donal's arms, I knew God's love,

and I was terrified of what I felt from what he felt for me.

I always would take it, how angry if they ever find out.

[sombre music]

If I had been honest, Donal would still be alive.

What you've told me,

I wish it felt like you couldn't tell me.

I failed.

No, you didn't.

You don't need to be ashamed of anything,

you are my dad and I wish that I was half the man

that you are.

Look at the time reacted to Donal's death.

Why would the pastor think

he needed to keep his sexuality a secret?

Because of what people like Barry would think?

Just baffles me.

Well, when you're different,

it's easy to spend most of your energy

pretending to be normal, to natural reaction.

And a scary one.

Yeah.

My lady thinks the whirlwinds are hot, very masculine.

I don't wanna know.

[chuckles] Tell you, I gotta impressed

'cause I'm majorly punching up.

-I'll bag myself a cougar. -Ah, too much info.

Come on go on, get out of here.

[woman shuts door]

How you doing?

What happens now, to Marcus?

Well, he'll be charged with manslaughter.

His confession will help his sentencing.

And Donal?

I suppose, Beverly is next of kin then.

I think a trace is an order.

She wanted you to have this.

[soft music]

I was glad to send you out this morning.

In a day of great darkness, was good to have some light.

I owe you, remember?

[man opens door]

Sorry.

I'm so sorry, about Marcus.

I'm having a great party.

How?

You always told me, to live anonymous life.

Well then, you see, Donal had found

a very special place in my heart.

He became a cruiser and found me.

Okay.

I don't wanna go back to an empty house.

Come on, we'll get you a cup of tea.

Aye.

[soft music]

[man opens door]

Sure, tell me about it.

Who knows why people do what they do?

And I'll probably get to know.

Okay, bye.

Thanks for helping out.

They upstairs?

Yes.

Shay's teaching Niamh some self-defense

from one of those violent video games

that I personally don't think she should have.

Okay.

How was work?

Fine.

Busy day?

Plenty of patients?

I was speaking to Nicole,

she said you were off today.

Were you with him?

Your son's PE teacher?

[Woman] What?

No!

I knew you would do this to us again.

Oh, could you please stop!

[breathing heavily] I just can't okay?

Yeah, you're right, I wasn't working at the surgery.

I had an appointment to plan for my treatment.

What are you talking about?

[sombre music]

[birds chirping]

How do you think the kids are gonna take it?

About us.

After all the trauma Niamh has been through, I don't know.

And Siobhan?

[birds chirping]

Although, if there's nothing going on,

there's nothing to tell.

That's not an option.

It would make life easier.

Is that what you want?

Look at the havoc secrets cost the pastor

and what they cost Donal.

I feel like I've leapt from one night to the next

since arriving in town.

The truth shall set you free.

And imagine then, it's how it's been every night.

[Hussain laughs]

I know you love a spoonful of my sugar.

I learned that song off by heart at school.

In fact, I learnt the whole musical.

What, you don't believe me?

Stop, please [breathes heavily].

I love you.

[soft music]

I love you too.

[soft music]

[Hussain opens door]

Hi.

What a day, life can be very cruel, can't it?

I thought Finn and Siobhan had turned to corner,

the light at the end of the tunnel

seems like a distant dark now.

Why?

She needs family around her, that's all I can say.

Concepta what's happened?

Siobhan has cancer.

[sombre music]

[upbeat music]
