[sea birds tweet]

[waves lap]

[Callum] Been a while since we've had a flasher.

[Marlene] What?

Remember Fidelma from the bowling club,

Oh yeah.

Whipped her blouse and bra off and did a lap of the green

in her white culottes.

Well, it's not often our seniors

make the semi-finals, Callum.

What will she do if they win the league?

So anyway, your man this morning,

he was on the beach chasing after ramblers.

Scared the life out of the oul' dolls.

Help! Help! Help!

Help!

Help!

I am arresting you for indecent exposure.

What?

You do not have to say anything...

I can't find my girlfriend!

You should be looking for her.

She could be in danger.

Callum, is there any chance?

Yeah, yeah.

[seagulls caw]

She planned a surprise for me.

A romantic night under the stars.

Brought a picnic, loads of booze.

But I think I was the only one drinking.

She suggested going for a dip.

Naked?

Next thing, I wake up like this.

My car's gone, everything in it,

and so's Roisin.

Er, okay, well look, let's get you somewhere

a bit more private and we'll take some details down,

like your girlfriend's name, address, that sort of thing.

Okay?

I haven't known her that long.

We met online.

Ditto, pal.

A week, and going strong.

I don't have an address, but her name's Roisin Quinley.

[gentle music]

So, mobile phone, wallet, and your car.

Anything missing from here?

Don't think so.

What if she's been abducted?

Could you do some door to door?

If she's been back, someone might've seen her.

Yeah.

Cheers.

Peter, have you any photos of Roisin?

Yeah, loads.

On my phone.

Although I got a new tablet yesterday.

We were trying out the camera.

Just mucking about.

Oh, no.

That's gone too, yeah?

It was still in the box, right there.

It looks like your girlfriend's had you over.

I can't believe it.

She was into me.

Like,

well into me.

No CCTV, but the couple next door saw a blonde lady

come home last night in Peter's car.

She woke them up knocking over a wheelie bin.

10 minutes later, she's off again.

Looks like his bird's got sticky fingers.

Ha, and the rest of it, if I know Roisin Quinley.

[gentle music]

[seagulls caw]

[traffic passes]

Siobhan has asked to meet me at lunchtime.

I have a feeling she wants to talk about me and her.

She didn't say anything?

Well, nothing specific, no, but,

I mean, I can't think what else it would be.

I really wanna tell Siobhan about us today.

I hate lying to her, I hate keeping secrets.

Have lunch then.

See what she has to say.

Regardless of what my ex has to say,

she's still my ex.

Today's a new start for us.

No more hiding.

[gentle music]

We think Roisin lured Peter to the beach,

plied him with drink until he passed out,

stole his clothes and his belongings,

and drove off in his car.

Roisin Quinley only got out of Fallbridge prison

a couple of weeks ago.

It was a burglary and drugs charges on probation.

Sounds like a catch.

She also deleted her dating profile.

Yeah, you should get rid of those apps too, kid.

I already have.

Have you not heard?

Cub's courtin'.

Oh, the cougar.

Beth's not that much older and it's more than courtin',

all right?

It's the real deal.

It's only been a week.

You can tell us all about her later at Barry's charity do.

Oh, believe me, I've heard enough.

The free bar'll take the edge off, Marlene.

Hm.

[seagulls caw]

[gentle music]

[door opens]

But you'd know. [laughs]

Surprise!

Lil!

For goodness sake!

I had no clue you were coming.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Hey Concepta, how about ye?

How'd you hear about this?

Barry and Marlene couldn't get hold of you.

Little bird told me.

[door closes]

Nicole!

Oh, hi Lil. New look?

Turns out blondes don't have more fun.

Now, are youse two serving, or what?

Give everyone a double on me.

Someone's in the money.

Aye.

Got my own company selling weight loss supplements.

Great for the old bingo wings, and the wee pots.

Hey. That's solid muscle.

Actually, I'm in the market for an investor.

300 pounds buys you a share in my wee company,

and my undying gratitude.

He should get that anyway.

Given all Barry's done for you.

Barry?

Would you like to rehearse your speech now or later?

Concepta has my speech.

She's cutting it down with her sharp tongue.

Just because you raised a couple of quid,

doesn't mean we need to hear your life story.

It's just a great opportunity to earn money doing nothing.

Plus, you get a free month's supply of Lil's pills.

Not for me, hun.

I'm eating healthily. Doctor's orders.

You sick, hun?

No.

We're having fertility tests done.

Trying for our first baby.

Aye.

With any luck, I'll be a da soon.

You'll have to find someone else to flog those to.

We're not into those pyramid schemes, hun.

She doesn't know then?

Know what?

That you've got a kid already.

[gentle music]

[seagulls caw]

So Peter's card was used 0900 hours at the ATM

on Main Street this morning.

300 pounds was withdrawn.

That's promising.

Roisin might still be in the area.

And someone local could've seen her.

Only me.

Hiya, Ma.

Not interrupting anything, am I?

Ma, have you seen Roisin Quinley recently?

I can't say that I have,

but that sister of yours got wind of the free bar.

Lil's here? [laughs]

Can you believe that?

I doubt she's just here for Barry's award.

She's got her eye on the main chance, that girl.

How did Lil know?

'Cause we couldn't get ahold of her.

No idea, but she's flashing the cash, all right.

She got a round in.

And I missed it?

Where's the justice?

Go and see her.

We can you for a couple of hours.

I'll just finish this incident report, okay?

Yeah, I should get back to work as well.

Not a fan of Marlene's sister?

Never mind about Lil, it's Siobhan I'm worried about.

Finn's meeting her in a bit.

Do you think she's gonna tell him about the cancer?

She better had.

I'm choked keeping that quiet the last few days.

[gentle music]

[lively chatter]

I'm getting mortified, I'll tell ya!

Lil!

[women exclaim]

Oh, I love the new do!

Right so, this is her, the wee wild child.

Anyone looks wild next to Marlene.

Nice to meet you, Lil. I'm Leila.

What are you having then?

Oh, nothing, thanks.

I'm trying to track someone down actually.

Oh, you'll never guess who.

Roisin Quinley.

Oh no.

Well, you won't find her in here.

She's barred.

Stealing from customers after they'd had a few.

Our Lil can't stand her, can you?

They used to be best mates.

Cheeky mare ran off with my fella.

We were engaged.

He gave her my ring and what's worse,

she wore it.

For shame.

Remember the engagement party here?

The families!

Rougher than a badger's bum.

And then to top it all off,

they made up these malicious lies about our Lil

stealing the engagement presents.

Where might I find this Roisin?

25 Green Copse Lane.

I've been up there a few times.

You wipe your feet on the way out.

[gentle music]

[seagulls caw]

[waves roll]

[door opens]

Here you go.

Peanut butter and jam, for old times' sake.

Nice one, sis.

So how long are you sticking around?

We don't all want to grow roots.

Live and die in exactly the same spot.

Now you sound like Ma. Flighty.

She always said you had a spiteful side.

Underneath the Girl Guide act.

Well, she should have tried loving me, then,

instead of dropping me when you arrived.

Ach, she lost interest in both of us

when something else came along.

New man, new job, new home.

Boo-hoo. Life's tough then you die.

So, erm,

does Charlie Bear not wanna visit his brother?

[both laugh]

Mum only bought us those because she messed up again.

Binned mine when I moved.

Okay.

It's your life.

I only pry so I know you're okay.

I worry.

Aye.

Me too.

Not much has changed since school.

'Hockey's hard.

Miss Matthews showed me how to swing my stick.

She's so pretty...'

Have you been hoking?!

I didn't have to!

Your old diaries are the same place, you eej-

Ow! That was really sore!

What are youse up to?

Ow! She hit me!

Hey, cut that out, you,

or I'll get the castor oil and the big spoon.

I'm surprised at you, Marlene Pettigrew.

Me?

Scrapping with your own flesh and blood?

And you in uniform.

What are youse like?

Takes me back, I'll tell ya.

[all laugh]

[door closes]

So, er, you didn't tell us.

How did you found out about today?

Wouldn't you like to know.

[Marlene] Mm.

[gentle music]

[seagull squawks]

[teaspoon clinks]

[door buzzes]

Any joy?

I've spoken to Roisin but she says she's never heard

of a Peter Hughes, let alone had a naked picnic with him.

There's none of Peter's property in her possession

and no hits or alerts on the car, either.

Marvellous.

Don't worry.

I've set up a video ID parade.

[seagulls caw]

[gentle music]

[Leila] Take your time.

She looks a bit like her, but no.

Roisin's got way better hair.

I wouldn't take any of them out if you paid me.

You know this isn't a dating site, right?

She's not there.

Would you like to take another look?

Do you think I wouldn't recognise my own girlfriend?

[gentle music]

Either there's another Roisin Quinley scamming people,

or someone's using her name.

Well, whoever's done this has probably set up

that dating profile with the intent of stealing

from the men she meets,

which means it's likely that Peter wasn't the first.

Let's set up an e-fit.

It'll give us a much clearer picture

of what our suspect looks like.

And Cal, can you run a search for any similar cases?

Yeah, on it.

I better go.

Good luck.

[gentle music]

Er, listen,

I don't think I'm going to make it to Barry's do.

I've gotta get back to Belfast.

For an appointment.

There's something I really need to get off my chest.

I'm seeing someone.

What?

[Finn] Yeah.

I mean who?

Leila.

From work?

Yeah, I know who she is.

Finn.

Sorry, I need a minute, mate.

I'll leave you to it then.

I gotta go.

But wait.

You said you wanted to talk to me.

Sorry, mucker.

It's just, erm,

Lil knows about my daughter.

How?

She mates with Chanel Kelly, the kid's ma.

I had no idea.

And you think Lil's gonna blab everything to Nicole?

I don't wanna take that chance.

You're going to have to decide, mate,

who you're more frightened of,

Ronan The Machete Man Kelly, or Nicole?

Do you mean losing Nicole?

You need to tell her, mate, as soon as you can.

Before somebody else does.

[gentle music]

[door buzzes]

Hey.

How was Siobhan?

Well, I've told her.

Which is good.

She was okay?

She couldn't wait to get out of there.

And that's it?

[phone dings]

Sorry.

Ah. Suspect's e-fit's in.

Doesn't that look a bit like...

Lil.

Marlene's sister.

So why don't you seem surprised?

Because it's not the first time.

The night of Roisin Quinley's engagement party,

my ma caught Lil here, smashing up Roisin's car.

I let her go, to spare Marlene and Barry.

So that rumour?

There was never any evidence that she'd stolen

their engagement presents.

But you suspect she did?

More than suspected.

I let Lil go and it was a mistake.

I can't do it again.

[gentle music]

Where did you disappear to?

Lil.

Was it you pretending to be Roisin Quinley?

What are ye's doing?

Throwing a party I'm not invited to?

Lillian Pettigrew.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of theft.

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.

I'm innocent, Uncle Barry, I swear.

Are you out of your mind?

My stepdaughter is no thief.

Then she's got nothing worry about.

[tense music]

I've never met Lil,

but does it seem like the sort of thing she'd do?

[knock on door]

Niamh?

Mum's going back to Belfast.

For good. Dumping me.

Callum and I can go conduct the interview with Lil.

Why do I never know what's going on?

She was meant to be staying here with us.

You know your mother, she's a strong-minded woman.

Mum's not strong.

It's all put on.

She's taking tonnes of pills,

crying all the time over nothing.

What pills?

Like she'd tell me?

Hey, hey.

I just don't get it, Dad.

What made her change her mind so fast?

[sombre music]

Lil.

This is Police Constable Callum McCarthy.

Nice to meet you.

You understand the charges against you?

The theft of Peter Hughes's car, tablet,

mobile phone, bank card, and cash from an ATM.

No, I don't understand.

Because Peter gave me those things.

Sorry, I,

I can't do this.

[door buzzes]

One moment, please.

[door buzzes]

That's my girlfriend.

What?

You've been dating Marlene's sister?

No, no.

I was dating a blonde girl named Beth,

or I thought I was.

[sombre music]

What's going on?

Niamh says you've been upset, that you're taking pills.

What are they?

Ah, just 50 milligrammes of none of your concern.

I know you're angry with me, Siobhan,

but she's worried sick.

Well, if she'd asked me I'd have told her.

Multivits, probiotics.

The contraceptive pill.

Oh, is that TMI?

Was that for...

For you?

No, Finn.

Sorry to burst your wee bubble,

but not all the ladies in Northern Ireland

are queuing outside.

I thought you were single.

Well, I've been seeing my personal trainer.

I had a wobble.

I mean, the guy's 10 years younger

and fit as a butcher's dog.

And I felt old.

I thought I was wasting my time,

but he's convinced me that I'm not.

So that's what I wanted to tell you today.

Does Niamh know about him?

Och, I can do without the judgement .

She'd have me in fluffy pyjamas and watching box sets

with a boring old fart.

She thinks you're dumping her.

To be honest, I am.

I wanna live a little, is there something wrong with that?

This isn't you, Siobhan.

There's something else going on.

Cause I'm happy?

Well, that says a lot.

So you leaving has got nothing to do with Leila?

Finn, there was a reason our marriage failed.

I'd be mad to go back there.

Put your keys through the letterbox on your way out.

[door slams]

[tense music]

I should never have let Lil move back in with her mother.

That's why she went a bit wild.

They learn by example, that's for sure.

It wasn't your fault.

She was 15.

She needed love and stability.

You were grand.

You had your start in the police college.

She had a,

a flaky mum and Roisin Quinley on her shoulder.

Would you keep still?

Ach, sure why bother?

My day's ruined anyway.

Don't be daft.

I bought a new blouse, and I don't do that for just anybody.

Lil said she was innocent,

so I'm sure she'll be out soon enough.

Yeah, but the girl will be in bits.

I'll make a wee investment in this business of hers.

That'll put a smile back on her face.

[sombre music]

[seagulls caw]

You were saying the items you're accused of stealing

were gifts?

I'm not a thief.

Make sure you tell Callum that.

Let's start with the tablet.

Peter bought that for me.

Okay.

So this morning you left him drunk and naked

and used his debit card fraudulently.

No.

I took the exact amount that he was investing

in my business.

He gave me his PIN number.

Look, Pete's just jealous. Trying to stitch me up.

Jealous, why?

I broke up with him last night.

Told him I'd fallen for someone else,

someone I really care about.

Is that why you took Peter's phone and clothes,

drove off in his car?

We left our stuff in a bush while we went swimming.

His must still be there.

And I took the car to stop him drink driving.

I haven't had a chance to return it yet.

You should be thanking me for keeping the roads safe.

[gentle music]

[door buzzes]

Lil insists she misunderstood your intentions.

And when we checked the beach,

your clothes were there, like she said.

Did you give her your PIN number?

Well, that was just so she could fill up the car one time.

So she also had access to your vehicle?

Can I just get out of here now?

Will you make a statement?

Of course I won't.

I'd look like a total clown.

Another satisfied customer.

I aim to please.

Not long now.

We can go to Nicole's free bar together, as a couple.

Is Siobhan going?

Well, apparently Siobhan has a fella in Belfast,

so she couldn't care less.

You don't think she might just be saying that,

to save face?

If Siobhan wants to play games, then let her.

[sombre music]

[seagulls caw]

[door opens]

[Concepta] Only me.

Sure why ring the bell when you can barge in

without warning?

You still haven't told him about the cancer?

You saw Finn today?

I didn't want his pity.

Couldn't stomach it.

Besides, I'm leaving.

Go, then.

Your kids are used to seeing the back of your head.

Do you think I want Niamh and Shay to see me get sick?

I'm not running away.

I'm protecting them.

And I promise you this.

If you tell anyone I'm sick,

I'll take them to Belfast and you'll see them once a month,

if you're lucky.

Don't be ridiculous.

You need your family around.

You think you can do this alone?

You don't want Finn?

Finn doesn't want me.

That's why I'm going.

Give the man a chance.

You left him for someone else -

He's sleeping with your pal Leila.

He's your son and she's living with you.

How could you not know when you're so nosy?

[tense music]

What I want to know is what you'd planned for PC McCarthy?

I didn't know who Callum was when we met,

I just fancied him.

And he's a sweetheart.

I don't come across many of them.

Then he told me about his job, and his Sarge, Marlene.

[knock on door]

Yep?

Okay to come in?

Just a silly misunderstanding, sis.

Isn't that right, Finn?

Really?

Yeah.

She'll be out of here, once I've done this paperwork.

I ought to have an apology.

And Barry.

Your lot ruined his day.

So, about Barry.

He won't be investing in your company, okay?

He doesn't have the money, but he just can't say no to you.

But look, if you're stuck for cash,

why didn't you come home for a wee while?

We'd love that.

And, you know, if you're ever in trouble-

Did I miss something?

Because I thought I was being released without charge.

And here's you talking like I'm a criminal.

[clears throat]

Hi Barry.

Uncle Barry.

These eejits have finally set me free.

Now I know how poor Nelson Mandela felt.

Aw, hi Callum.

What about ye?

It was all a daft misunderstanding, exactly as I told you.

Where's Leila?

I want a hefty word.

I'll see you outside.

I'm sorry, Cal.

But at least you know I'm innocent.

Of theft, maybe.

Not cheating, not faking an identity.

Beth, Roisin, Lil.

I don't even know who you are.

Were you even a natural blonde?

I just fancied a change.

On the same day Peter Hughes reported you?

Funny that.

Everything between us was real.

What difference does a name, or hair colour matter?

We'll go to Uncle Barry's do together

and we'll tell everyone.

You're not serious.

You made an absolute mug of me.

This was over the second I saw your face

in that interview room.

[tense music]

Lil.

Hang on.

Key.

Lillian.

They won't trouble you again.

C'mon, let's celebrate.

Could this day get any worse?

Ah, there's still time.

She told me her name was Beth.

At least now I understand how Lil found out

about Barry's do.

And there's me planning to ask her to move in.

You were?

Yeah, I know.

Too soon.

She could do a lot worse.

And here, look, for what it's worth,

she really does like you, I can tell.

I'll survive.

I just wish I hadn't gone into so much detail

about our sex life.

Aye.

It's pretty awkward.

Yeah.

Let's, erm,

let's not talk about it again, eh?

-Yeah. -Okay.

What is it?

Siobhan?

No. The trail in Nottingham?

It's off.

What?

Yeah, the gang all pleaded guilty.

I don't have to testify.

It's over.

No more hiding.

You're safe.

I can go home!

To see my family.

Yeah, of course you can.

You can do whatever you like.

We should celebrate tonight.

We could tell everybody about us.

No.

It's Barry's do.

Let him have his moment.

Yeah.

Well, maybe after the ceremony,

I could whisk you off somewhere fancy for dinner.

Well, actually, the car's in the garage,

so you'd have to whisk me off.

[laughs]

[door slams]

Clint!

You gave me a fright.

What are you doing, bursting in on me like that?

I wish I'd told you sooner,

but didn't seem so important at the start,

and then all of a sudden it was.

You want kids so bad.

I'm already a dad.

You've got a kid?

Before me?

Yes, of course.

One drunken night before I met you.

You're a daddy.

To who?

A boy or a girl, Clint?

Er, uh, a girl. She's a wee girl.

A daughter.

I can take her shoe shopping.

We can get our nails done!

I thought you'd kill me.

I mean, yeah, I should.

But it's kind of reassuring.

There's nothing wrong with your wee swimmers, and,

I'm a stepmummy!

It's complicated.

Erm, her other half doesn't know, and he really can't.

Says who?

You're her daddy.

We're gonna do the right thing.

[gentle music]

[knock on door]

[door opens]

Found Charlie Bear in Peter's car,

with the rest of your stuff.

I knew you'd never get rid of him.

You overestimate me.

Soz about your diary.

I was only having a laugh.

So, erm, what else did you see in there?

Nothing I didn't already know.

So,

you're gay.

Why keep it a secret?

You think Barry'll disown you?

No.

You scared?

No!

You are so!

You're as terrified of relationships as I am.

No one can leave you if you're not together to begin with.

Right?

Well, we've Ma to thank for that.

All them uncles, different houses,

new rules, stepsiblings.

And just as you learn to love them,

you're saying goodbye to them again.

You should be out there, living life, sis.

Falling for some gorgeous, hot, lesbian lover.

[both laugh]

Well, you should be staying out of trouble,

but look, here we are.

Anyway.

Thank you for not blabbing.

Ah, give over.

You big melt.

[both laugh]

We're flesh and blood.

Got each other's backs forever.

[sombre music]

[seagulls caw]

[knock on door]

Well, you played me like a fiddle.

I'm sorry.

Siobhan didn't tell Finn she's sick today,

because she find out about you and him.

Remember what I told you about my mum?

She passed away.

When you were 12.

It was breast cancer,

and I know times have changed,

and I'm sure Siobhan will be fine,

but I wouldn't have anyone go through that on their own.

Not on my behalf.

That's why I'm leaving.

[sombre music]

[sombre music continues]

[lively music]

You are cutting it fine!

How's about ye?

Ach, Shay, I knew you wouldn't let us down.

I can't lie, Nan, I'd still be out fishing,

but the drama queen called,

saying Mum's away off to Belfast.

You know, no warnings, no goodbyes.

You should be used to it by now.

Mum's had more departures than Belfast International.

[tense music]

Okay, everyone, gather forward.

Ready to go.

Okay, great, everyone gather round.

That's it, fill all the space.

Now, folks,

our Barry.

Come on Barry, come to the stage.

[all cheer and applaud]

Over the past few years,

Barry has secretly raised

over 100,000 pounds for our hospital.

[all cheer]

[applause continues]

There are families here whose lives he has changed

for the better.

[all applaud]

And to present him with his award,

Inspector Finn O'Hare.

[all applaud]

On behalf of the people of Port Devine,

we named you, Barry Pettigrew, Local Hero of the Year.

[all cheer]

[phone beeps]

Hi Cal, wish you were here!

Cheers!

Cheers!

[computer dings]

[gentle music]

[fast-paced folk music]

Callum! Where've you been?

Grab yourself a wee drink.

I'm on duty.

Where's Finn?

I don't know.

I knew you couldn't stay away.

You think I'm here for you?

Ah, come on.

It's over with Peter, I wouldn't lie to you.

Is that what you said to the four other men

whose bank accounts you emptied?

I don't know what you're on about, but,

I can't love a guy who doesn't trust me.

It was fun while it lasted, eh?

[gentle music]

[lively chatter]

Have I entered the Twilight Zone?

You've been strange with me for days,

and lovely to Siobhan.

I have no idea what you're on about.

Yes, you do.

Well, it's none of my business.

Ma, that has never stopped you before.

Leila's flying to Nottingham.

I'm sorry, love, but you need to be told.

She's leaving.

Why?

Because she found out your wife has cancer.

Siobhan has gone back to Belfast for her first treatment.

Alone.

[gentle music quickens]

Shay, I need your car keys.

Dad, what's the craic?

That's got to be about Mum.

Boss, I need a word.

Not now.

It's about Lil.

Four more victims of theft and fraud

identified her as their suspect.
