Blue Lights (2023) s03e03 Episode Script

1
Shane, you can't open someone's phone!
If it doesn't go their way,
it will be dismissal.
- Where are you going?
- To my Ma's.
There's an imminent threat
against all police officers.
It's not safe.
I'm going, OK? I'm going.
So this, er, Lindsay
She needs protecting.
She's been associated with
a drug dealer.
You cannot run, Lindsay.
That's a fool's game.
Hail Mary, full of grace
It was like he went somewhere.
Like he went somewhere else.
I think it must mean we have a soul.
They're sending money to Carvel
in Derry. The dissidents.
They're going to take out a peeler.
Maybe more than one.
You handed this town over to them.
I just hope someday soon
you don't regret that.
The young lad who died, his dad
has dissident republican links.
Senior player in Belfast.
He's going to be hostile to police.
Return to base. We have an imminent
and credible threat.
RADIO: Seven zero to uniform,
extract immediately.
Please, tell me!
We need to go now.
There is a threat outside.
Just tell me what I need to know
so I can look after my people.
You sit round the table,
and I'll tell you everything.
They can't fight on two fronts.
We can.
REPORTER: The device has now been
made safe,
but officers continue to search
for secondary devices.
Nearby homes have been evacuated,
and I understand the streets
round here will remain shut
for several hours.
The PSNI have not named
the officer concerned,
but it's understood
they are high-ranking.
The most senior person to have ever
been targeted in this way.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued
to a local newspaper using
a recognised code word, the
republican dissident organisation
said it will be
intensifying its campaign
against serving police officers
and their families.
In a chilling statement
issued an hour ago,
the organisation said there would be
"further operations" in the future.
TURNS TV OFF
How is she?
She's sleeping.
What does all this mean then?
You don't need to worry.
Is that right, aye?
Is that why your mother had
to sell the house,
- because we didn't need to worry?
- Bea
You've no idea what you put
that woman through.
I didn't know what was going to happen.
No, you didn't think about it.
There's a big difference.
And it still doesn't bother you.
Of course it bothers me!
Don't tell her about all of that.
As if I would.
LABOURED BREATHING
I'm going to work, Ma.
I won't be late.
I'm going to close that window, OK?
Shit WINGS FLAPPING
BIRD TWITTERS
QUIET MUTTERED PRAYER
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
- Blessed art thou amongst women
- Aisling?
- Hey
- What are you doing?
Nothing.
Tea?
- Aisling, are you OK?
- Will you stop asking me that?!
I'm sorry, just
Please stop asking me that.
Were you
praying?
They were in the car.
It's so you can keep count.
Remember where you are.
You just kind of
move them through your fingers.
You know,
I'd never really had anybody
close to me die before.
Until Gerry.
He was the first.
And I did think about it
for a while after that, like
how someone can be there and then
just not be.
Like, just gone.
You know,
when I first started this job
I thought I knew everything.
And now
I feel like
I don't know anything at all.
I'm going to be OK.
Yeah.
Keep them moving, keep going!
Good man, keep it going.
Go, go. Keep going, keep going,
keep going.
Let's get it loaded.
Keep going, come on.
Good man.
Keep going.
Let's go. Let's go!
ENGINE STARTS
Morning. They're on their way.
Make sure the reception team is ready.
Hot coffee and sea air.
We must take the time to enjoy
the little pleasures
that life has to offer.
The Derry boys,
they didn't get their scalp.
They did enough. The game's changed.
You can see Scotland on the horizon.
How far away is it?
I was shit at geography.
It's geometry.
20 miles?
At this elevation, the horizon
is roughly 14 miles away.
How long does the crossing take?
- Half an hour?
- In these conditions, about 45 minutes.
Right.
Do you know why I care?
Because this, this coastline,
is all that matters.
It's everything.
And we protect it at all costs.
What about the girl?
She thinks she's going to get
a job in Dublin.
But she's never getting there.
PICKS UP KEYS
Bea?
Bea?
Did you move my bag?
I hung it beside your coat.
Bea, don't touch that bag.
- See you later.
- Mm-hm.
Armed police, drop it!
Drop the fucking bag!
Show me your hands. Show me them.
Get on the floor. On the floor!
Show me your hands.
Put them behind your head.
Annie!
Bea, get back! Get back!
- That's Cormac!
- What?!
That's Cormac, the plumber!
The plumber
Shit.
- Sorry
- Can I get up?
Yeah. Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Come inside.
- Bea, I can't.
- Why not?
I'm after pishing meself!
Sorry.
Sorry, mate.
Just this way.
This way.
KNOCKING
SIGHS Well, Helen.
It seems my day has come.
15 years.
And I'll never see it again.
This happened to you once.
Yeah.
Well, now I know.
Any intel coming through?
Well, if there is, they won't tell me.
Too close now.
The thing is, I can't understand
how they got my address.
I don't even bring our friends here.
A bill maybe, or a statement?
Everything's registered to
a rental property in Bangor.
And I mean everything.
And will you
I'm stepping aside.
For a while.
Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
I took a call this morning.
A vetting interviewer,
asking my opinion of you.
Yeah, I'm not sure about that just yet.
You and I have butted heads
a lot, Helen.
That we have, ma'am.
I think I used to feel jealous of you.
Jealous?
At a certain point,
they bring you into the circle.
And it's like putting on a rucksack
full of secrets.
Week after week, year after year,
it gets heavier
until you can't move.
I used to look at you and feel envious
you didn't have to carry that.
You could see the world as
you wanted it to be, not as it is.
Well, that's over now.
It's time to put on the rucksack, Helen.
Feel the weight of knowing things
you never wanted to know.
My source in Trinidad tells me that
three shipments went through
this month alone.
You got anything new on that?
We're under a bit of pressure here,
Melissa.
A lot of our resources been
diverted to this dissident threat.
Yeah, I know. Sure.
I wonder if this is a good time
for the security services
- to take the lead on this.
- I don't know, Mark.
They didn't actually kill
the Chief Super this morning,
but I seem to remember her saying
that would only happen
over her dead body.
CLEARS THROAT AWKWARDLY
Erm We have something.
- Oh?
- We are hearing rumours
that the person running this operation
is a clean skin.
No obvious links to the Ginleys.
What?!
That's all we got.
OK. Thank you, Eugene.
All right, guys, keep up the good
work. And Colly, good hunting.
Colly, on this current dissident threat,
none of our sources on the ground
saw it coming.
Where did you get that intel?
I'd like to arrange a meeting
in person
Service wanker.
What were you doing there?
I was visiting my ma.
I stayed overnight.
Annie, we've talked about this.
She's dying, Sandra.
I know.
Tell me exactly what he said afterwards.
Er
He said to forget about it.
He's a friend of my auntie's.
- He won't say anything.
- OK.
Well, look, I need you to fill out
a use of force form. OK?
- In case that changes.
- OK.
Are you going to send it up the line?
Just fill out the form, all right?
So you're in the clear.
The rest is on me.
Thank you.
Go on.
Ombudsman?
I got one too.
I asked her to leave you out of it.
Well, it didn't work, OK?
You can't charm everybody.
OK, folks. Welcome to another
day on the sunlit uplands.
Try to contain your excitement.
Nothing carrying over
from the early shift,
and we have no new intelligence
on the threat this morning.
Except to say that
the threat level has been raised
to severe.
There are some locations
we can only enter with TSG support.
There's a list on your handsets.
When it comes to calls
in the city centre,
I need the driver to get out
and maintain cover at all times.
Scan the location for threats.
Look, we'll get through it.
OK?
Grace and Shane, you're seven zero.
Tommy and Aisling, seven two.
Annie, you're on a file day.
OK?
Let's get out there. Sharp eyes, yeah?
Who's this?
Hello, Mrs McIntyre, it's Kevin here
from New Horizon Dental Surgery.
I'm just ringing up to confirm
your next appointment with us.
Is now a good time to talk?
No, thanks, Kevin.
I don't need another appointment.
We've got a good deal going on
at the moment.
It's really worth listening to.
My teeth are fine, thanks, Kevin.
Just tell me what you want
and I can make it happen.
Bollocks.
LANDLINE PHONE RINGS
Not now.
Just a reminder about
your next appointment.
Yeah.
This section is a mess.
Yup.
Bloody two-year fade.
The what?
Young response officers come in ready
to change the world.
After two years
they want to change jobs.
The two-year fade.
Never heard of it.
Yeah, well, it's a skipper thing.
Skippers have secrets, do they?
Oh, we have the best secrets.
So why don't you just tell them
about it?
If we told them,
then they really would fade.
Even worse.
I think Grace has it, has it,
the two-year fade.
Yeah, well
She's a campaigner, isn't she?
She's a what?
She's a campaigner.
She needs a long-term project.
A goal.
Not just a weekly rota
and eight calls a day.
Whereas you, you're a pragmatist.
You deal, you fix, you move on.
Sorry, is that another one
of them, er
Skipper secrets? Yeah.
We profile all of you.
THEY LAUGH
Skipper secrets are the good stuff.
You're going to love it.
SIGHS HEAVILY
You OK?
I hear you're in a bit of trouble.
Looks that way, aye.
Poked my nose into something
I shouldn't have.
Oh, yeah. Been there, done that.
We should maybe just try
and keep it simple today, then.
Yeah.
Call, call, coffee,
call, call, lunch,
call, call, coffee, call, call, home.
- Yeah, just that.
- Yeah.
Super.
MUSIC PLAYS: Wichita Lineman
by Glen Campbell
Do you know Jimmy Webb wrote this
song on a drive through Oklahoma?
Like, just wrote it in his head
while he was driving.
When he got home,
he rushed in to make a demo tape
and he sent it to his mate.
Glen Campbell.
Now, when he didn't hear
anything back, he just thought,
maybe the song wasn't very good.
He met Campbell at a party
three weeks later,
and he asked him, had he heard it?
Campbell said, "Jimmy, did I hear it?
"We flipping recorded it last week.
"It's on the album."
The song was number one a week later.
Sorry, what what's the point
in you telling me this?
Just saying,
good things happen suddenly too.
You know?
RADIO: Seven two from uniform.
We have a domestic call
at 18 McLean Street.
Appears to be from a child.
A child?
Barney, um, listen, is there
anybody else available to take that?
Wise up! Why are you not taking it?
Negative, seven two. Everything OK?
Yeah. Seven two responding.
Listen,
that's the home of a police officer.
Be aware, there's a registered
firearm at the address.
SIREN BLARES
You came.
Yeah. Didn't really have a choice.
Hm. You'll be fine.
Listen, she'll know things.
She knows a lot of things.
They do their homework.
What things?
Well, if they catch you in a lie,
it's all over.
Why would I lie?
Look, don't worry about it.
Just give me a shout
when you come out, all right?
You're nervous.
I'm not nervous. Why would I be nervous?
So you remember now why I didn't
want to come over to your side.
It was all this, all the games, all
the guessing and all the bullshit.
You make it sound like it's a bad thing.
Anyway, good luck. She's lovely.
COLLY WHISTLES CHEERFULLY
Take a seat, Inspector. I'm Sammi.
I'll just, um
- Are you taking notes or is
- It's not recorded.
We'll talk.
And then I'll decide.
Yes or no.
So Shall we?
You're currently in a relationship, yes?
- Long-term?
- Yes.
Co-habiting?
For the last five years.
Name, and occupation?
Rosa Cassidy. She owns an art gallery.
Her date of birth?
10th of the 11th 1980.
You were married previously, to a man?
I switched sides.
I assume that's allowed,
even for peelers.
Exclusive?
Excuse me?
Is your relationship exclusive
or do you see other people?
It's exclusive.
Do you have any sexual preferences
that might be considered unusual?
Oh, come on!
I'm sorry, Inspector. This is
the nature of developed vetting.
Well, what would you consider unusual?
Well, you tell me.
Sometimes we leave the big light on.
You were divorced 12 years ago.
Can you tell me about that?
- I really don't see how that's relevant
- It is.
I was the subject of a threat.
There was a raid on a dissident
republican house in Derry.
My name and address were found.
We were moved under the SPED scheme.
Even so, my husband found it
difficult to take living like that,
looking over our shoulder every day.
It came between us.
He was a bank executive.
A year after your divorce proceedings,
he was convicted of embezzlement.
Yes?
It didn't strike you as odd
that your husband,
on a salary of £54,000,
was able to put up
a house deposit of £120,000?
- He told me that he had in
- Inherited the money, yes.
I didn't know.
There was a professional
standards investigation.
Which was brought to an end
after a week.
- Why was that?
- Because I had no case to answer.
Or because a senior police officer
intervened on your behalf.
What are you talking about?
DCI Collins.
Your mentor.
He vouched for you very strongly.
No, you're wrong.
We had absolutely no contact
by that point.
That's what happened.
He saved your career.
Avoided a very drawn out,
embarrassing process.
You're talking about Colly,
the person who asked me
to do this interview!
I am merely stating the facts.
What the fuck is going on here?!
Did you know your husband was a criminal
whilst you were a serving
police officer?
No, I did not!
RINGS DOORBELL
Hello?
Sir, erm, we've had a call
from this address.
There must be some mistake.
It was from a child.
Are there children in the house?
I mean yeah, but, erm,
nobody from here's called the police.
May we come in?
Uh listen, erm
hold on a minute, will you?
Chief Inspector Bunting.
Neighbourhood.
Thanks, sir. We saw you on the system.
No worries, mate. Cheers.
Sorry, but we'd still like to come in.
Yeah.
Of course.
- Hello.
- Hello, madam.
What's going on?
Apparently they got a call
from this house from a child.
I have no idea what's happened here.
Oh, I think I do.
Er Olivia was saying that yesterday
a police officer
came out to her classroom.
She was in the living room a while
ago, playing a game on my phone.
There you go. That must be it.
Must be.
Do you mind if I talk to her?
Talk to her?
Listen, Constable.
I'm sure my daughter
is already a bit thrown
by having two uniforms in our house.
Yeah, she might be scared, or upset.
She might just think that
she's in trouble somehow, you know?
Why don't I just go and talk to her?
Nice place you've got here.
Thanks.
Here she is.
Hey, sweetie.
Now, Olivia, you called the police
by accident
on Daddy's phone, didn't you?
And did you just want to see
what would happen?
There you go. Really sorry about this.
OK, well
Olivia, hi.
I'm Aisling.
Myself and Tommy here,
we just wanted to make sure
everything was all right.
Are you OK?
Now, listen, you're not in
any trouble or anything.
But in the future, if you need us,
just call that number again, OK?
Sorry about this, guys. We'll, er
we'll have a word with her.
What do you say, Olivia?
Sorry.
It's grand. Don't worry.
These things happen.
All right.
Let's go.
Good girl.
All the best.
Is Helen McNally
still over at Blackthorne?
Yes, sir, she is.
Well, tell her I said hello.
We will, sir.
Excuse me, what did you say
your name was, again?
Angela?
Aisling.
Oh, yeah, God, of course. Aisling.
Tommy.
Listen, er
Thanks again, so much.
We're sorry for the annoyance.
It's no bother.
She just asked for Angela.
Maybe it was a mistake.
It wasn't a mistake, Tommy.
Aisling, what can we do?
I mean, we didn't see
anything suspicious.
Like, nothing. He's going to hurt them.
Och, Aisling, please! Come on!
Listen
I think you need to talk
to somebody, Aisling.
About what happened.
The accident.
It wasn't an accident.
It was supposed to happen.
What?!
Aisling, listen, I really think
There are no accidents.
Do you think it's an accident
that we came here?
Aisling, it's it's just a call.
No.
We were supposed to come here.
Who do you think you are?
- Look, Helen
- Why did you step in?
Because you were too good to lose.
I didn't need you to step in.
I wasn't guilty of anything.
That doesn't matter.
The scandal would have finished you.
So, what, this is
all just a power play, is it?
You want me to think that
I owe you everything?
Well, it's bullshit, Colly,
cos I owe you nothing.
Wise up! You're about to be given
clearance that criminals would kill for.
Literally kill for.
And they'll use anything to
compromise you.
Mistakes, secrets, threats, weaknesses.
We need to know what they might use.
That's why I had to tell her
what happened.
OK?
But you, you thought I knew.
You thought I was covering for him.
You thought I was lying.
I don't care whether you knew or not.
- How fucking dare you.
- Helen
Helen! Wait.
There's something I want to show you.
Come here.
This is it.
This is everything.
The Ginleys aren't running
drugs into Northern Ireland,
they're running them
THROUGH Northern Ireland.
Take this. It's got everything you need.
- Hiya.
- Hey.
So, um I've been thinking.
I know how you feel.
What do you mean?
Well, Gerry wasn't
in hospital for long, but
when he was fighting for his life,
if someone had told me
to be somewhere else,
I'd have told them where to go.
But I'm going to find a solution, OK?
OK.
- All right.
- Thanks.
Sandra?
Can I
Can I ask
Do you get over it?
SANDRA SIGHS
You change.
Right.
Seven zero to uniform,
that's arrival at
the city centre disturbance.
you shall not lie with a male
as with a woman.
Give yourself up to the Lord
and you will be saved!
I don't need saved from nothing.
It is an abomination.
The sexually immoral will never
inherit the kingdom.
And the sodomites will therefore
spend eternity in the fires of hell!
Here, away and take your face
for a shite!
And those who deny the word of God
will be judged in eternity!
We don't want you here.
Just piss away off.
God wants me here.
Oh, does he now? What about me, then?
I'll cover, yeah?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
- Your sins will be forgiven!
- All right.
He wants you here.
He is the only person.
The word of the Lord
will not be silenced!
God, well, I wish you would.
And you know what, give me this.
Give me that microphone back.
How dare you?
It's my microphone.
What do you think you're doing?
- Jesus Christ.
- Give me that!
Do not take the Lord's name in vain.
- I've done nothing wrong here.
- I want to talk to both of you.
- Over there, now!
- This is ridiculous.
Calm down. Over there, now.
This isn't a crime.
Yeah, you be quiet. You be quiet.
Right.
Do you two want to spend the rest of
the day just shouting at each other?
Most certainly we do.
I am preaching the word of God.
No, I think you'll find you're a bigot.
- You're literally stirring
- How dare you call me a bigot?
- I am not a bigot.
- You literally are
Stop it! Everyone, just stop it!
OK? Right, sir,
do you think there is any possibility
that you might be able to just
move somewhere else?
- Yeah.
- Absolutely not.
I have every right to be here.
Well, you haven't
if you're disturbing the peace.
I'm sorry, sir, you haven't.
There is only one peace in this
vale of tears, Constable,
and that is the peace of Christ.
By all means arrest me, officer.
Yeah, do! Fucking arrest him.
- Excuse me
- Yeah, that's not going to
OK, not now, thank you.
I'd be interested in hearing more, sir.
If you want to go for a wee cup of tea.
GROANS AND MUTTERS
RADIO: Look like it's settled down
there, seven zero.
Let's wrap it up there, please,
and get yous back off the streets.
Roger that.
I'll be with you in a minute, brother.
Uh-huh!
So what are you doing here, then, Gary?
- Shopping.
- OK.
Always wanted to find you, you know.
To say thanks.
OK. What for?
Well, I haven't had a drink
since that day you arrested me.
I got help.
- And I'm back teaching again.
- Wow.
Well, that's, um
that's amazing.
- So are you really going to do this?
- Aye.
Step nine.
Make amends where possible.
Grace?
- We should head on.
- Yeah, all right.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
Oh, and Gary?
Do you know something?
You're a very good looking man.
Very good.
I have the whole afternoon free.
Oh, aye?
- What was all that about?
- I don't know.
Do you believe in miracles?
Not really, do you?
No, but I believe
what we do makes a difference.
You know, you're in
a whole heap of trouble
Yeah?
How'd you fancy getting in some more?
- Lead the way.
- Right, come on then.
I'll buy you a coffee on the way.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah, sure.
Why did you stay?
How do you mean?
Well, the rumour was,
last year you were leaving.
What's brought this on?
Come on, spill.
I gave up everything for this job.
Didn't mean to.
Just worked out that way.
But now I wonder, was it, like
the worst mistake ever?
So why did you stay?
Ah.
It was the riots.
At Mount Eden.
I just
looked at you all
after we came back, and I thought
It sounds silly, but I thought
maybe they need me.
Maybe I can do something good here,
you know.
Just by looking out for you all.
Trying to make sure that
what happened to him
never happened again.
You could say
I've got some unfinished business.
This morning,
in the house
there was a bird.
Right?
The window was open. It it flew in.
It's an old Irish thing.
Down the country.
A superstition.
What's it supposed to mean?
It means death.
Oh, Annie
Lindsay.
Lindsay, we know
you're in some sort of trouble.
What do you want?
Are you planning on going somewhere?
- What?
- Well, where where's all your stuff?
I mean, you used to have
You used to have photos all over here.
So?
Well, where's
where's all your things?
- Where are all your clothes?
- That's private.
What's going on?
Please leave.
Lindsay, whatever it is
you're involved in,
I promise you
we can do something about it.
She wants you to go.
- Marian
- Grace,
whatever it is you're trying to do
it's too late.
Grace.
You should go.
OK.
All right.
I don't usually do house calls.
Leave that to the kids, do you?
What do you want, Tina?
That was pretty spicy.
Going after a chief super.
- It's nothing to do with us.
- Don't talk shite, Donal.
You don't think you should have told me?
Why?
Because I set you up here.
I gave you all the contacts.
People start killing peelers,
and people like me get a
knock on their door.
Tina
With all due respect,
we're going to take it from here.
What, the north?
All you have to do
is stay out of our way.
Go off and enjoy your retirement.
It suits you.
Maybe, er
I'll come back.
You and whose army?
CHUCKLES GENTLY
Cell 1B
landing three. That's your lad Mo.
At 6.30 every morning he reports
for duty in the prison canteen.
He refused to go on the
republican wing with his da.
He hasn't spoken to him in two years.
He's very
- exposed.
- You fucking dare
James is a tougher nut to crack.
Officer in command
of the republican wing.
However, what I've found out
recently is,
you can buy republicans just
like you can buy everybody else.
We will kill your kid.
We will kill your husband.
We will do it on the same day.
It's over, Tina.
We all know that.
Come on in.
All right?
I just wanted to pop in.
I think I owe you two an apology.
An apology?
I think maybe I came across
as a bit of a dickhead.
Look, here's the craic.
We didn't say anything earlier,
and, er
I don't know. Maybe we should have.
Olivia, my daughter, has been
having some problems in school.
We're taking her for an assessment.
Her teachers think that maybe
she's I don't know.
Neurodivergent.
That's why, when you wanted to talk
to her, I was a bit off with you.
Just worried about her, you know?
We all are.
But the bottom line is,
you were just doing your job,
and I was an arsehole.
So
I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Your Inspector and I went through
Garnerville together back in the day.
One of us finished top of the class,
the other bottom.
No prizes for guessing
which one's which.
OK, well, um
Thanks for hearing me out.
And, er, keep up the good work.
- It's good to see you again, Helen.
- You too, Gavin.
Why does he get to do that?
- Do what?
- Just walk in here and talk to us like that,
just because he's a peeler?
- Aisling, just
- No, I'd like to check on the wife.
A welfare check.
- We don't have grounds.
- She asked for Angela. You heard her.
I'm not even sure
if that's what she meant
- Oh, for God's sake!
- Aisling
No. Yous are wrong.
The two of you are so wrong.
- This is a joke.
- Constable Byrne!
Log the call on the system.
Treat it like any other.
Aisling
This is fucking ridiculous!
We're not treating him any differently.
Are we not? Then what was that?
Come on, Tommy, wise up.
C-3 have asked us to hold off.
Tell me what happened.
Well, we went there,
and all her stuff's gone.
I mean, she's obviously
going to cut and run.
She is absolutely terrified.
That place is not safe.
She's in a children's home.
Sarge, there's something going on there.
Oh, come on. This is what you do.
Let me get this straight.
You want me to go against the advice
of C-1 and C-3, and bring
a child in for a witness interview
because you've got a gut feeling?
Listen, Sean.
Grace knows this kid.
Now, if Grace thinks
she's in serious trouble,
then she's in serious trouble.
We can't just ignore it.
I agree.
They'll crucify me.
But then
I do look a bit like Jesus.
Bit bigger, maybe?
OK. Bring her in.
See you, Aisling.
Aisling
I'll see you at home, OK?
Aisling, where are you going?
Sarge, I I need to
Oh, can you give us a couple of seconds?
- Annie, can I have a quick word?
- Yeah.
So
So, listen, I've been thinking.
Maybe I've got a solution,
for how you can see your mum.
OK.
I don't know.
Maybe it'll suit us both, actually.
Well, give me peace of mind at least.
PHONE RINGS Sorry.
It's my auntie.
I I just have to take this.
Sorry, two seconds.
Hi, Bea.
- I'm just in the middle of a conversation here
- Annie.
I'm so sorry.
- Your mummy.
- No
She's gone.
No, Bea, put my Ma on the phone.
Bea, put my Ma on the phone.
Bea, put my Ma on the phone, Bea!
Annie
Put my ma on the phone, Bea!
No, put my Ma on the phone!
Put my Ma on the phone, Bea!
Please put my Ma on the phone
Come home.
No! Don't, don't, please don't.
Please.
No
No.
No
Barney, we're held on here
to do an urgent welfare check
at Lagan View Children's Home.
We'll give you a shout when we're done.
RADIO: Roger that, Grace.
Let me know when you're finished up.
Thanks, Barney.
Annie
- Annie!
- Leave me alone.
Look, you can't go without protection.
Just let me go.
- Annie!
- I'm not waiting!
Well, look, you don't have too.
I'm coming with you.
What do you mean?
This is the solution
I was talking about.
You can't go without protection.
Give me the keys.
I'm going to drive, come on.
Lindsay, where are you going?
Lindsay?
I got you that interview.
Front of house, like I said I would.
All right?
Come on, we should get going.
Let's get out of this shithole.
Hang on, is that Lindsay? Stevie
Jesus Christ!
TYRES SQUEAL
Lindsay! Are you all right?
Police! Stop!
Stevie!
Police! Stop!
SCREAMS: Stevie!
Shit!
Uniform, Uniform, this is Stevie,
I am at Lagan View Children's Home.
There's been an attempted
kidnapping. Driver's made off
at speed. Grey 4x4,
didn't get a look at the VRN, over.
- It's OK
- Roger that.
Stevie, stay where you are.
LINDSAY SOBS
I'm here.
I'm here. You're all right.
Why did you call in
the dissident threat?
Who says I did?
It's an old code word.
Your husband used it once.
So you're going after the Ginleys?
Who's running the show for them?
Fogerty.
Nah, above him.
Someone who's completely clean.
Leave that with me.
Tell me what you want.
It's not what.
It's who.
PHONE VIBRATES
DISTANT VOICES ARGUING
Don't say that to me.
I told you, you stupid bitch!
I told you to pick them up
this afternoon.
Didn't I?
I told you to get them this afternoon.
Keep your voice down.
You'll wake the kids.
Over here.
ROARS: Over here, now!
Hurry the fuck up!
SHE WHIMPERS
You see, this is what happens
when you can't even
run a house properly.
Hmm?
Turn around.
SHE CRIES
Turn around!
AISLING EXTENDS BATON
And what happens is you go to sleep.
