Red Rock (2015) s01e35 Episode Script

Episode 35

I'm arresting you on suspicion of the abduction of Rachel Reid.
They're releasing Barry Donohue without charge.
Another dead end.
Keep an eye on Brian, if she's still alive she's bound to get in touch with him.
I'm just going to sit tight and when this has all blown over and I'm vindicated you'll be the pariah.
When the girls were little Barbara used to take them to her sister's caravan up the coast.
Rachel loved it.
No one's been in here for months.
What? Police divers are searching the bay where Rachel's hoodie was found.
They don't send them out there unless they think there's a good reason.
PHONE RINGS No I said get your dirty paws off the gizmo for God's sake.
You alright? I'm fine, good.
Getting used to being invisible.
Better than being in the firing line? It's debatable.
Okay everybody, incident room five minutes.
I suppose that means I'll work the front office, yeah boss? That would be great Brian, thanks.
I just brought you this.
Figured you'd be home late and you still need to eat something.
Thank you.
Angela mentioned Mum was here last night with Liam Reid? Yeah that's right.
Why? She said she was being supportive.
Why was she being supportive? I didn't even know that they were that close.
I think this is a conversation you need to have with your mother.
Wait, you think something's going on between them? I didn't say that.
No you said I should have "a conversation" - which implies there's something to have a conversation about.
Okay first of all, you know I hate it when you cross-examine me.
Second of all, I only said have the conversation with your mother because I have to be in a meeting in less than a minute and don't speculate on the nature of the supportive relationship between your mother and Liam Reid.
But thanks again for the pasta.
Hey, taken.
Emily! Maybe I should wear a bell around my neck, warn people I'm coming.
What did you expect? Rose petals and pats on the back.
Quiet everybody.
Rachel Reid has been missing for three days now.
So every hour is crucial.
But we do not give up hope, we keep looking.
Nikki.
As you may know, Barry Donoghue was released yesterday without charge we no longer have a suspect in the frame.
Have we anything new to go on? Only that she last ping from her phone placed her near the beach, the same place we found her hoodie.
The Garda Water Unit are searching the coastline now.
Today we need all feet on the streets, doing door-to-door.
Jogging people's memories.
Somebody must have seen her either on her way to the beach, or afterwards, if she went somewhere else.
See me for your assigned areas.
That's it, thanks guys.
PHONE RINGS I'll see you outside.
I'm sorry, I'm working, I can't take personal calls.
And I will.
I'm not messing you about, I'm doing my best.
I've got tenants moving in next week.
Don't be lousy, it's just one week, I swear I'll have it then.
No I won't, I won't let you down.
Appreciate that Tim, you're a gentleman.
Who's that? A bloody vulture, that's who.
Something wrong? No it was just my builder chasing some payment.
He fixed up my rental.
Now I need some tenants and I'm back in the game.
Thank you.
I see you had the police divers out this morning.
Oh that's just routine.
And having a paedophile in the station, is that routine too? Don't bother lying, we saw him on the way in.
A formal investigation into the allegations against Sergeant McGonigle will take place.
But our priority now is to find your daughter.
That's the most important thing.
If she's your priority, why haven't you found her? I can tell you it's not through lack of effort, I promise you that.
We have every available officer on this, out on the streets, going through CCTV footage.
Have you given any thought to what we discussed last night? Do you really think it will make any difference? I do.
Television appeals can be very effective.
Even if Rachel herself doesn't see it, it could spur someone else on, someone who has seen her, or served her in a coffee shop, to call in.
I've tried to write something down, but I just didn't know what say.
Don't worry we can help you with that.
Okay, if it helps.
What about you Mr.
Reid? Are you happy to do the press too? A pretty girl like you with no fella.
We should go out for a drink, what's your number? SOUND COMING FROM TELEVISION MUSIC PLAYING I know this is really difficult, but better to have something written down, so you know what you're going to say in advance.
This is your chance to say all the things you want to say to her.
Would it help if I did the writing? Yeah.
How will I start? I don't know.
Come on Dad, we have to write something.
How about if we begin with "Rachel, wherever you are we're thinking of you, we're missing you and we want you to come home.
" That's good.
Sharon will you give us a hand here for a second.
You don't know how to upload a photo from a phone, do ya? And for a second there I thought it might be work you were doing.
What do you think? You're not actually going to say "bijou"? What, it's fancy for small! I know what it means and if anything, it's fancy for crap.
Well I like it.
Ah now the price is a bit rich.
Sure all those students have big grants rolling in.
If they weren't giving it to me, they'd be drinking it.
These are the photos I want to upload with it.
You're using these ones? Well if they're a bit sad you can use one of those filters that makes everything look sunny.
You can't use filters, not in a property ad.
Says who? Prendergast, I swear I'll take that head off you.
Just ignore them.
Cos there's nothing else you can do.
Nikki's on her way down now, she'll handle any questions to do with the investigation.
The journalists know not to ask, but they'll try it on anyway.
We've kept it deliberately small, only a few press, so it doesn't feel so intimidating.
You ready? Dad? You okay Liam? I'm can't sit in front of the world and read out somebody else's words.
Please Dad.
I can't do this, I'm sorry.
She insisted, said we looked hungry.
See we complement each other perfectly, the old ladies all like you, the young ones me.
You got something? Yeah, two numbers, that's my weekend sorted.
Seriously Sean? Ah come on, it's called multi-tasking.
Read any magazine, it's a good thing.
SMOKE ALARM RINGS Hello? Anyone in there? There's a kid inside Sean.
SMOKE ALARM RINGS COUGHING Thanks.
Hi, I'm sorry, I didn't know who else to call.
No I'm glad you did.
Though I'm not sure he's going to listen to anything I have to say.
Where is he? He's inside.
Okay what would you like, carrot or stick? Whatever works.
I don't understand, he's usually so strong and certain.
That's just an act men put on.
We're the strong ones.
It's over, it's over.
You can put him down.
He won't let go.
Just checked upstairs, he's definitely home alone.
Victor zero-six-nine to Victor Alpha base.
(Garda Radio) Go ahead, Sean.
We're at 36 Oakley Drive, child home alone, nearly caused a fire.
(Garda Radio) Is everyone alright? Yeah, just a bit of smoke.
But could you get on to Child Welfare and see what they want us to do.
(Garda Radio) Do you have a family name? Yeah, I think it's Joanna Jenkins.
(Garda Radio) We'll check that out now.
Roger.
Is that your phone? Do you have many games? I'm going to stink all week.
Baking soda's very good for odours, sprinkle your uniform with it, let it sit overnight, then hoover it off in the morning, you'll be fine.
Thanks now I can see why all the old ladies love you.
What the hell are you doing in my house! What's up darling? It's okay now, baby, I've got you.
You've no right coming in here, and you'll pay for that door.
Your son nearly burnt the house down.
Tried to make himself a burger.
I told him to stay away from the cooker.
Didn't I tell you? You shouldn't have left him alone.
I was only gone for ten minutes.
I knocked on your door half an hour ago and you weren't here.
I went to the chemist, alright? On Windbrook Road, I was gone half an hour max.
It's a cough bottle, he was up in the night.
It's his chest.
Doesn't matter, you shouldn't leave a child that age on his own.
I know, but I'm here now.
And he's fine.
That's not the point.
You're right, I'm sorry.
Thanks for your help, we're good now, you can go.
We can't leave, until we hear back from child welfare.
We're fine, everything's fine now, can't you tell them that? It's just routine, that's all.
If there's a problem you can come back, but having you waiting here now is just going to upset him.
(Garda Radio) Victor-zero-six-nine this is Victor Alpha base.
Go ahead Victor Alpha Base.
(Garda Radio) HSE want you to bring Ned Jenkins straight to the station, they'll liaise with you there.
Please, I can't.
Don't be stupid, okay? Joanna! You're not taking him, I won't let you take him.
A hundred and twenty two views already.
Seriously? It's a seller's market, wait till the open viewings, it'll be like something out of the Hunger Games.
I'm not feeling "compassionate landlord" off you.
The trick is not to spend too much money doing a place up.
Just enough to reflect a lifestyle.
You could own the biggest kip known to man, but throw in few cushions here and there for the ladies.
A fruit bowl.
And you're laughing.
A few cushions for the ladies? Women love a scatter cushion and don't bother denying it.
What's that smell? Now all I have to do is sit back and wait for the money to roll in.
Can't you get that? No.
Oh it's rank! It smells like we're sitting in a trash compactor.
Niamh is waiting outside for you, praying she won't have to go into a room of journalists alone.
Go and do that appeal By her side.
It might be the last time I get to talk to Rachel.
What if I make a mess of it? You won't.
I don't want to, I don't want to get it wrong.
I don't want to say something that might make it worse.
If it was my child, I'd just go in there and let them know how I was feeling, exactly how I was feeling, that's all.
Jaysus! What's that? Somebody's shoe? It's not shoes.
Is that coming from your locker? LOUD LAUGHTER I'll get that.
Bastards! Don't let them see you're upset, that's what they want.
I'll take this out to the bins, you follow me out in a couple of seconds head held high, yeah? Joanna? Victor zero-six-nine to Victor Alpha base, can you advise us if Joanna Jenkins is considered a threat to her son? I'd never hurt Ned.
Then why don't you come out and we can discuss it, okay? Only if you promise you won't take Ned.
We can't do that Joanna, but I promise we'll discuss it.
(Garda Radio) Victor Alpha base to victor zero six nine we're checking with the HSE, but a Joanna Jenkins at that address has convictions for possession, shoplifting, public disorder offence and neglect.
That's it we've got to go in there.
Okay.
Joanna if you don't open the door now we're going to kick it down.
BANGING Stop it! Ned's right behind the door, if you break it in, it's going to hurt him.
Thank you all for waiting.
Just remember, imagine you're talking to Rachel directly.
Any problems, give me a nod.
Any questions you're unsure of, just say and we'll step in.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming.
This is Rachel's father Liam and her sister Niamh.
I'm going to hand you over to Niamh, who's going to tell you a bit more about Rachel.
Rachel is an amazing sister, she's smart.
She's always the first person to try and cheer anybody up.
Ray I miss you, we all miss you.
Life's not the same without my little sister in it.
Rachel, whatever it is that happened, it doesn't matter it's in the past, it we can fix this, just come home okay, that's all I These last few days, since you've been gone, throughout everything, the worry and the anger and feeling hopeless.
One question keeps going round and round in my head.
What would your mother do if she was still alive? She'd know how to fix it, what to say, in fact she'd never have let this happen in the first place.
I have been lost without Barbara.
Lost since the moment she died.
And as difficult as it's been for me I can't imagine how awful it's been for you.
And I'm sorry that I haven't been there for you.
As much as I know I should have, and I'm sorry Rachel, so sorry.
But things are going to get better, I promise.
Just come home Rachel.
Please come home.
