Original subtitles

Come on. Roll!

No, I should really just be in bed.

It's the best part of the day, this.

CHUCKLING

What? You're so weird. Oh, look who's coming.

Hey! Well...

So what happens here, then?

Ah, it's just a bit of fun. A few of the local kids on horseback.

Only, this year there's a star attraction. What's that?

Blue Wonder is making a star appearance.

Blue Wonder? The horse that won the Havelston Cup?

The very one. Hmm, I'm impressed.

So, Mr Irwin, your horse has been stolen?

I went to bed, the horse was here.

I woke up, it was gone. What's the horse called?

Blue Wonder.

Ah! Is that the horse that won the Havelston Cup?

Aye, that's right, son.

Must be worth a few quid.

Tens of thousands!

I noticed some CCTV cameras dotted around.

Don't get your hopes up.

They smashed your cameras up.

I didn't hear a sound. What time did you go to bed?

About half ten.

Woke up to exercise Blue Wonder.

When I got to the stable, the...the door was wide open.

Dad?

I saw the police car. What's happening?

Blue Wonder's been stolen.

That makes no sense. He's chipped, he's distinctive looking.

Dad, no. What?

I'm sorry, Tamara.

Do either of you have any idea who could have done this?

No.

I need to call Nicole Devine. Why?

I promised I'd bring Blue Wonder to the Strand Stakes.

Oh, she's going to flip.

We need a crime number.

Oh, there they are, smashing the camera.

In case we have to claim on the insurance.

Well, we can sort that.

Could we get a copy of this, please? No problem.

Where were you when the horse was stolen, Tamara?

It's just routine.

I was having a night to myself at Ballymountain Manor, the spa hotel.

Present from my dad.

I decided Tamara deserved some pampering. Since she got back

from uni, she's been working her socks off around here.

Could you do your best to find him?

Of course. I know some people will say, "It's only a horse,"

but I've been looking after Blue Wonder since the day he was born.

DOOR OPENS

Can either of you tell me what this is?

Where did you find it?

In Blue Wonder's stall.

What does that mean? Did they sedate him?

Do these people have no idea how dangerous that is?!

HORSE WHINNIES

I have always wanted to see inside that house.

Ever since I was a wee lad.

And what did you think?

Honestly? Disappointing.

See, if I had their kind of money, I'd make it way more bling, like.

You should nip back, then.

Ask Justin if he's in the market for an interior designer.

HE CHUCKLES

Stolen! Can you believe it?

Aye, poor Tamara. She dotes on that horse.

Poor Tamara? What about me?!

I can just hear Claudia Preston now,

"Oh, that Nicole Devine-Dunwoody's deluded.

"She promised us an appearance from a prize-winning racehorse

"and all we've got are these old donkeys!"

Sweetheart, people'll understand.

The whole thing's for charity anyway.

Well, I feel a bit of a fraud about that now. Why?

Raising money for research into infertility...

..when I'm with child. Sh!

We said we weren't going to tell anybody about that.

There she is.

Your mother.

Just go easy on her, OK?

Don't worry, kid, I'm going to be the perfect gentleman.

Aidan.

Assumpta.

Can you answer one question for me?

Did you know you were pregnant with Finn when you left for the States?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

What for?

For making you feel so frightened that you couldn't tell me.

I must have been a monster.

Correction...

..I was a monster. I didn't deserve to be a father.

I thought you'd go crazy when you found out.

Back then, I would have.

But meeting Finn, spending time with his family...

..it's a gift I never expected to receive.

That's so lovely to hear.

So why go to the trouble of sedating a horse?

Um...

To keep him quiet?

We don't know for sure that this vial contained a sedative.

Most of the label's missing. Yeah.

You fancy ringing around some vets?

Yeah, sure thing. While you're at it, call the ports and the airports.

The only value that animal will have is as breeding stock abroad.

I really wasn't expecting that kind of reaction from Aidan.

I don't buy it.

Barry, time passes, people change.

I wouldn't trust that guy as far as I could throw him.

HE EXHALES

Thank you.

For being nice to Assumpta.

HE LAUGHS

You know, between me and that crazy woman,

goodness knows how you ended up so grounded.

Listen, I got a phone call last night from my mate...

..who works up at Hill Point Prison.

Declan has made his own bed. He can lie in it.

He's really not coping, Aidan.

My friend's worried that he might do something stupid.

What do you want me to do about that?

Go and visit your son.

Listen, I know me and Declan didn't exactly hit it off, but...

..he is my half-brother.

Maybe do it for me, as a favour?

Have you, um, seen Callum lately?

Don't be starting all that again. It was a one-time thing.

I know, I'm not accusing. I'm just wondering how he'd react

if he knew this baby might be his.

Well, he won't know anything unless we tell him.

Unless you've changed your mind about that?

No. What with him and Jo going to Belfast,

they won't really want a baby in tow, will they?

True.

So we'd actually be doing Callum a favour,

letting him and Jo go and start a proper future in Belfast together.

That is a good point.

Oh, here's Justin and Tamara now.

Nicole, I am so sorry.

Oh, Tamara, don't be ridiculous. It's hardly your fault.

Ach, and anyway, the poor wee horse! Let's pray he's OK

and the police can find him. Amen to that.

Have you seen Seamus anywhere?

Seamus Cassidy? Um, can't say that I have.

Is it anything important?

Nothing that can't wait.

OK. Well, sure, come on in and get yourselves a drink, eh?

Oh, thanks.

HE SIGHS

All right, kid? All right, mate.

So, um...

..you know all those terrible things you did that got you sent to prison?

What were they exactly?

I'm sorry, I just don't get the whole horse thing.

You and the Sarge both. Marlene hates horses.

Yeah, nearly as much as she hates pigeons. Pigeons?

It's a long story.

There's only one road up to Justin's property.

And there's only one CCTV camera on it.

Don't tell me it got smashed up like the others.

No, it didn't.

But I searched through all of last night's footage

and I didn't see a vehicle that could carry a racehorse in it.

It has to be a local who took the horse, then.

Who around here would do something as nasty as that?

Well, I can't imagine that was the reaction you were expecting.

To be honest, no, it wasn't.

But maybe Aidan really has changed.

I'll tell you what hasn't changed.

He still fancies YOU. Why else would he be so forgiving?

And you still fancy him. It's written all over your face.

Don't judge me by your own standards, Siobhan.

We're not all man-mad.

Oh, I just found Seamus. Where?

Oh, he's up there with Tamara. Don't worry, I gave them some privacy.

Tamara and Seamus, it's so romantic!

How long has it been going on?

A while.

Your daughter and your best friend, you must be over the moon!

We need to go and get bread rolls.

HE KNOCKS

Mr Irwin. Did you find out who stole Blue Wonder?

It's early days.

Stop looking. I know who did it. Who?

Seamus.

You mean your best mate, Seamus Cassidy?

That man stole my horse.

So you had another look at the CCTV?

Certainly did.

Press pause.

There you are. Um, what are we looking at?

That watch.

That's Seamus Cassidy's watch.

I'd recognise that watch anywhere.

How come?

Cos I gave it to him. 20 years' loyal service.

So Seamus used to work for you?

I knew he wanted a place of his own,

so when the farm next door came up for sale, I helped him buy it.

And now he does this to me!

OK.

Why do you think Seamus would steal Blue Wonder?

How should I know? You need to ask him that question.

Yeah, we will. Just as soon as we find him.

PHONE RINGS

Taylor!

PHONE RINGS

Oh, for heaven's sake!

SHE SIGHS

Hello, Taylor's phone,

this is Nicole Devine-Dunwoody speaking.

CALL ENDS

How rude. Was that my phone?

Yes. They hung up. You answered it?!

Well, what else was I supposed to do?

That horse, do you think it'll end up as pet food?

Blue Wonder is a prize-winning thoroughbred!

Do you hear this, hon?

Pet food indeed!

OK, that's the last couple of boxes.

I'll run them down to the beach.

I'm going to stay here for a wee bit.

It's a while until the race starts. OK.

Excuse me, mister! Aren't you forgetting something? Oh.

That's more like it.

All right, Marlene?

All right, Clint?

Mm-hm.

Heard you two were back together again -

after a week in Ibiza of, "I never want to see that eejit again!"

Well, you know what me and Clint are like -

hot and cold, on and off.

Mm-hm. What's changed?

Nothing. Taylor, what's changed?

Look at the state of those tables. I'd better give them a wipe.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

Why are you even here?

It's my day off. I was going to head to the beach, but...

..you know me and horses, like.

Oh, yes, after the incident at the Point-to-Point.

Exactly. I just don't like the way they look at me, Nicole.

But anyway, I won't be near the beach today, so I thought I'd come

and drop off my donation to the infertility charity.

That's very generous of you.

I'm sure the infertile women will be...very grateful.

No, no, no, what's going on? You're being really weird.

You might as well tell me, love, because I will get it out of you.

Did you know that Tamara Irwin is seeing Seamus Cassidy?

No, I didn't. That's actually really interesting.

But stop changing the subject.

Why are you and Clint back together?

Because I'm having a baby.

What?

Oh, love, that's so amazing!

How long have you known?

Oh, just a couple of days.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

No, I'm...I'm sorry I forced it out of you.

Just, with our history and you offering to be surrogate

and everything that we've been through together,

I-I wanted you to be the first to know.

OK, so why were you holding back?

SHE SIGHS

Clint will kill me for this.

There's a chance that it might not be his.

There's a chance that it might be...

Callum?

You cannot tell anybody, Marlene.

Not even Callum?

Especially not Callum. But...

..doesn't he have a right to know, love?

Well, if the baby's his, yes.

But we're not going to know that until it's born.

Seamus Cassidy isn't answering his phone,

and Callum's been to all his usual haunts.

Yeah. No-one's seen him since earlier on.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Aidan?

I've been to that place we spoke about. Can I have a word?

Sure.

Must be weird, having a new dad at his age.

So my friend at the prison wasn't exaggerating?

Not even slightly. Declan's in a really bad way.

Stupid eejit. He can't hack it in there.

You should've seen the state of him - shaking, crying.

A son of mine. So what are you going to do now?

I don't know.

All I know is I have to do something.

Mum, Aidan wants to, um, show me round his old stomping grounds,

the places he grew up. When?

I don't know. Soon.

You know, he was telling me, actually,

he was robbing houses when he was younger than I am.

Give me strength!

Hey! All right.

Look, all I'm saying is maybe the criminal gene skipped a generation.

I fancy myself a bit of a gangster.

Listen, don't let your dad hear you saying that, even in jest.

Ah. Look at the state of that.

Hey! Assumpta!

You and me, I think it's time we cleared the air.

Is it?

Um, I need to be somewhere else. Excuse me.

Now, you've been on my case since the moment you got here.

The first thing I found out about you

was that you'd cheated on my son. Your son?

Who you cared so much about that you gave up without a second thought?

Is that what you think,

that I just handed him over and forgot he existed?

Well, you give a good impression of that, yeah.

Well, YOU give a good impression

of someone who's only out for themselves.

The only reason you got back with Finn

was because bad boy Al was found out and did a runner.

What's going on?

Ask your mother, Niamh.

And you, ask yourself if events had played out differently,

would you still be in Port Devine?

What is she talking about? What events?

Ah, ignore her, Niamh. She's lost her mind.

I've been looking at this again

and there's definitely somebody else there.

Look.

Can you see that shadow?

Ah, yeah. You've got eagle eyes, Constable.

So Seamus Cassidy had an accomplice.

Well, if Justin's right about him being the thief.

At last! What's up, cub?

I finally found out where that vial of medicine came from.

So Justin's regular vet is away at a family wedding in Mauritius.

Oh, nice. He's got a locum in.

The locum was round at Justin's place seeing Blue Wonder

a couple of days ago. She diagnosed him with...

..laminitis. What's that when it's at home?

It's a disease that affects the horse's foot.

Um... It requires total rest, or box rest, and painkillers.

That's what was inside the vial,

an anti-inflammatory drug that's injected in the horse every day.

Right, so what does that mean for a racehorse?

Well, if it's not caught early, it can be a disaster.

The horse might never race again.

And was it caught early in Blue Wonder?

Not according to the vet I spoke with.

She reckons Justin left it too late

and she almost didn't go down to see him herself.

Why?

Justin hasn't been paying his vet's bill.

The only way the locum would go round

and see Blue Wonder is if Justin paid in cash.

Mr Irwin? Can we have a word?

Have you arrested Seamus?

We haven't been able to locate him yet.

What was that about Seamus?

Your father is convinced that Seamus stole Blue Wonder.

Did you report Seamus to the police?

I had to.

I couldn't withhold evidence.

When my colleague showed you a medical vial earlier,

neither of yous recognised it.

That's right. What about you, Justin?

I'm sorry. I told a lie. Why?

Because Blue Wonder has been diagnosed with laminitis.

Laminitis?! Why on earth didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to upset you.

I can't believe Blue Wonder is sick and I'm not able to look after him.

So what about the vial?

I must have dropped it when I was giving him his injection

yesterday evening.

PHONE RINGS

Ryan, go ahead.

Great. OK, thank you.

Seamus Cassidy has just walked into the police station.

OK.

Officers.

Seamus wouldn't do this to us. He just wouldn't.

There must be some mistake.

Tell me, Seamus, where were you

between ten last night and six this morning?

At home.

Caught up on a boxset, went to bed.

Why? What's this all about?

Do you wear a watch, Mr Cassidy?

Sometimes. Why?

What sort of watch?

Well, I have a few. Nothing very special.

Wait.

You're not seriously saying that's me, are you?

I mean, that could be anybody.

Is that your watch, Seamus?

No. Right. Well, you won't mind

if we take a look around your house, then, will you?

What was all that with Mum earlier? Oh.

Your mother accused me of just giving my baby away

without a care in the world.

She doesn't know you very well. And you do?

I know that you gave my dad up because you felt you had no choice.

That's possibly the nicest thing

anyone's said to me in a very long time.

Now, do me a favour?

Make it up with Mum. She's a good person.

And Dad loves her.

You're a clever wee thing.

You must get that from my side of the family.

Is this your watch, Seamus?

Looks a bit like mine, yeah.

All right. Well, we found it in your bedroom.

There is also an engraving on the back -

"To SC..." Seamus Cassidy.

"..from JI..." Justin Irwin.

"..thank you for everything." Does that ring any bells?

Yeah, all right. OK, right, Justin gave it to me.

So why did you steal his horse?

Look, just because that's my watch does not prove

that I am the person in the CCTV, OK?

A lot of watches look like that.

You've worked with horses all your life, Seamus,

so you know full well how much it takes

to look after a thoroughbred like Blue Wonder.

Is that horse being looked after, Seamus?

No comment.

Hey. All right?

I've just had Justin Irwin on the phone.

He wants his crime number so he can claim on the insurance.

I bet he does. Why?

Have you seen the state of his place? Especially the stables?

Hasn't had a lick of paint in years.

Yeah, and he hasn't paid his vet bills.

Plus, his star racehorse is sick.

Don't those things cost a fortune to look after?

I don't know, maybe he thought, "Get rid, claim on the insurance."

I don't know. Justin would just get rid?

I can't see it. I mean, he loves his animals.

Might be worth having a wee chat with him.

Sure. Yeah, where's Justin now?

He's at home. Shall we?

Yeah.

WHISPERS: Jo.

The vet told Ryan that Blue Wonder needs regular injections.

We both know how much Justin loves that horse.

Let's just hang back, see what he does.

CLANKING

There you are. Good lad.

I'll look after you. Have you better in no time,

back on your feet there. You trust me now.

Hello, Justin. I take it this is Blue Wonder.

It's not how it looks. It's exactly how it looks.

OK. Justin Irwin, I am arresting you for conspiracy to commit fraud.

You do not have to say anything,

but I must caution you, if you do not mention when questioned

something which you later rely on in court, it may harm your defence.

It seemed like a victimless crime.

Oh, I don't think Tamara would agree with that.

She's been beside herself all day.

I was planning on telling her that Blue Wonder was OK.

Eventually.

So what was the idea of storming in here

and pointing the finger at Seamus?

I found out he was seeing Tamara behind my back.

Right, and that's a problem because...?

Because they didn't tell me.

And the thought of them together...

He's old enough to be her father.

How did you get mixed up in this, Seamus?

Did Justin offer you a cut of the insurance money?

No!

No, I...

Look, I was just trying to help Justin,

the way he helped me when I bought my farm.

By ripping off the insurance company?

Look, I didn't approve of that. Honest.

But Justin...

..he was going to go ahead whether I helped him or not,

so I thought maybe I could keep him out of trouble.

And...I felt guilty...

..about the way that me and Tam had been lying to him

about our relationship.

So...I went along.

I could kill the pair of them.

You had no idea your dad was having money troubles?

He doesn't tell me anything. Treats me like a child.

Well, just so you know,

Seamus thought that stealing Blue Wonder was a terrible idea.

So why the hell did he help my dad do it?

I think he was doing it for you.

He was trying to keep your dad out of trouble.

Idiot.

What will happen to them?

Well, if your dad had filed the insurance claim,

he and Seamus would be in big trouble.

But as it stands,

they'll just be given a caution for wasting police time.

Oh, thank you! Thank you.

And I'll make sure they know how much of a narrow escape they've had.

Thank you.

PHONE RINGS

Whoa!

That's not alcohol, is it?

Of course not! I wouldn't do that to the baby.

Yeah, I can talk.

Everyone's wondering why you're not at the beach.

Since when?

Oh, I can't face it.

Sit tight. Why?

I'll work something out. Cos Callum might be there. Bye.

I can't look him in the eye.

Well, you're going to have to face him sometime.

Seeing as it's dead in here,

is there any way I could head out for an hour or so?

It's kind of an emergency. No. We're going to the beach.

It's fine, Taylor. I'm going nowhere.

Off you go, then. Thank you.

There's your father.

So, you're a couple, then?

I'm sorry, Dad, that I didn't tell you.

I was being a coward. It's a shock.

He's so much older than you.

We fought it, Justin. Honest.

Just when Tamara came back from university,

something between us had changed.

You pair, you're the most important people in the world to me.

Can we find a way to make this work?

I'm sorry, Seamus, for trying to drop you in it. I...

..totally lost my head.

Despicable thing to do. All right.

Not to mention lying to me that Blue Wonder was stolen.

If either of you ever pull a stunt like that again,

you won't see me for dust.

Hey. The very man. Can I have a word?

Sure.

Declan phoned me, begging me for help.

OK. That's really tough.

If I don't sort something out, Finn,

he's going to be leaving prison in a coffin.

What evidence do they have against him?

They have a mobile phone proving that he paid that footballer

to throw a match. And that's it? It's pretty compelling.

Where is it?

It's in our evidence store.

What if that phone were to disappear?

I am not going to bury my son...

We are not having this conversation. I am a police officer.

What if you were in my position?

What if it was Shay?

Shay hasn't broken the law!

Lucky you.

Dad?

Someone showing their true colours!

Um, I didn't want to say anything but...

But you knew? Well, I saw how he treated his other son,

but you were so excited, I didn't want to burst the bubble.

Who needs a new dad at my age anyway?

I've got my family right here.

Siobhan?

Hiya. Hi.

Um, hi.

I know you're not on duty, but my friend is really sick.

Oh, right. Can they call the helpline?

There's a reason why they really can't do that. It's urgent.

OK. Where is this person?

Thanks, Siobhan. It's a fair way away. Can we use your car?

Yeah, sure.

All right, our kid? Yo.

So that tour of my old haunts - fancy going now?

Yeah. What about the race?

A bunch of teenagers and farmers on old nags -

you're not interested in that, are you?

Course not. Come on, then. Let's go.

I used to come here all the time when I was your age.

It's something else.

I'm just going to phone your dad, let him know where we are.

All right.

CHEERING

PHONE RINGS

Aidan Hunter.

Hey.

Well...

..I've someone here who wants to talk to you.

Yeah?

Hey, Dad. You'll never guess where me and Aidan are.

Where, son?

Up on White Water cliffs.

You can see for miles.

Oh, here.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Why don't you join us, son?

And maybe bring that item we talked about earlier?

I've got to go. Are you sure? You're going to miss the race!

Barry, you stay here and look after the people I love, OK?

But Aidan wouldn't hurt Shay...

Finn, wait for me! What has Aidan done now?

Ryan, I need you to do me a favour.

Hiya. I thought you two would be down at the beach.

Ah, change of plan.

But are you not doing a barbecue?

Not any more. Nicole had other ideas.

I take it Clint isn't coping very well?

Oh, no, Clint's been amazing.

Has Callum ever talked to you about wanting kids?

Can't say that he has, no.

You are planning on telling Callum about the baby, yeah?

Of course.

Mind you, I can't imagine Jo would be too happy

if it did turn out to be Callum's,

given the whole them moving to Belfast and everything.

Everything all right?

Oh, I don't believe you two.

What? You've no intentions of telling Callum, do you?

That he actually might be the father.

I thought we weren't telling anybody anything?

She wormed it out of me!

Thanks. Are you going to give that to Aidan?

I don't know what I'm going to do yet.

Ryan, can you go up the path that side. I'll meet you at the top.

Inspector.

It's better if you stay here, Assumpta.

When have you ever known me to do what I'm told?

Well, there's something you've got in common with your sister. Ha!

Come on.

WIND WHISTLES

There you go. Thank you.

When all this is over, I'm going to leave you alone.

I've brought you nothing but trouble.

I went looking for you, remember?

You know, I can't get over what you're like -

handsome, moral, kind.

Oh, if anything happens to your beautiful boy,

I will never forgive myself.

You're not to blame for any of this.

Now that I can see who Aidan really is, I know that you had to leave.

And I understand that you HAD to give me up.

Thank you.

Let's go get your grandson.

Where's my son? Where the hell is Shay?

Give me the phone and I'll tell you.

You know I can't do that, Aidan.

I'm a police officer, and you know that.

You've got it on you!

Where is Shay?

Finn, just give me the phone.

Argh! Finn!

Dad! What have you done?!

PHONE RINGS

Hello, Siobhan.

Well...

My dad's really sick.

PHONE RINGS

OK.

Now, let me take a look at you.

You need to keep Finn out of this.

We'll cross that bridge.

Seeing you...

I've missed you so much, Siobhan. Oh, God.

You sure you're not going to miss all of this

when you're all alone with me in Belfast?

Nah.

I think I'll cope.

You know better than anyone, Marlene,

how much Clint and I have longed for a baby.

Clint will love this baby no matter who the biological father is.

Yeah, but...

..me, Callum and Finn, we're a team,

and if that lad finds out that I knew

and I didn't say anything, Nicole, he'll never forgive me.

He's finally happy.

Are you really prepared to tear all of that to pieces?

Will we go and catch some crabs?
