Dublin Murders (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

Where is Adam? Adam's dead.

PHONE RINGS
I know this number.

It's all about finding Shane Waters.
That'll break Jonathan and Margaret

Devlin and give us Katy's killer.
You're pinning everything on

a homeless man with
mental health issues.

Do you think I'm a pervert,
Heather?

I think you're an arsehole.

Jesus Christ, Alannah.

We'll find somewhere else for you
as soon as we can.

Now.

Let me tell you something
about Daniel March.



When he was 17, he nearly
killed a boy.

Lexie did it.

There is no Lexie.

There is no Lexie!

Lexie should get better.

And go back home to her friends.

I got Tuesday morning off to take
you to your appointment.

Ah, thank you.

I'm sure it won't be good news
if they're calling me in.

We don't know that.

Did I do right by you, Cassandra?

Why would you ask that?

I wonder.

I really do, I wonder
if I did right.



With your little friend.

Your Lexie.

Why are you bringing this up?

I should've just let you have
your made-up friend.

It was only you trying to cope
with losing your mammy and daddy

like that, being left on your own.

And me getting the priest to you.

God forgive me for that.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't on my own.

I had you.

You've got nothing to be sorry for,
Auntie Cepta.

Nothing.

Honestly,

I'd forgotten all about Lexie.

Not thought about her for years.

What would I be without you?

Are you sure you don't want anything
else? There's room in the car.

No, they'll clear it all.

Take the furniture for charity.

Thanks for coming.

I couldn't have stood it on my own.

All those people saying it was
a merciful release,

a good death.

When it's actually just shit.

That's exactly what it is.

I'm taking you to the pub.

I'm getting you whisky.

I'll be out in a minute.

DOOR CLOSES

Lexie, are you there?

ALARM RINGS

STAIR CREAKS

DISHES CLATTER
God's sake, be careful!

Justin... You OK?
you're so clumsy...

Morning, you.

How'd you sleep?

Yeah, good.

Hey, Lexie, how are you feeling?

We didn't know whether
to let you sleep.

You seemed pretty zonked
when I checked on you.

Now we know what happens when you
mix antibiotics with Rafe's punch.

Here, you can have this one.

Oh, God, I've missed real food.

Good. You look thin.

Help yourself to cutlery.

You OK?

Are you just going to fuss over me
all day?

Don't you have classes to go
to or something?

Actually, I decided we wouldn't go.

I thought we could all stay home.

All of us together.

It's been so long.

JAZZ MUSIC

LAUGHTER

You are such a little bitch
when you lose!

It'd be even worse if
you were playing.

This is nice.

Us like this again.

It feels normal.

Still feels weird,

not being able to remember.

Like there's this giant hole that
whole night got sucked into.

Did you think I was home?

That detective said you were
all playing poker.

You'd gone for a walk.

Like you always do.

Wasn't even that late when
we all went to bed.

We just assumed you'd come in later.

Till, next thing, some detective
is banging the door down,

saying that you'd been hurt
in the hospital.

We must've told that prick Mackey
the same thing over and over.

He just acted like we were lying.

Yeah, he made me feel like
I was lying about getting stabbed.

Despite the fucking gaping hole
to prove otherwise.

THEY LAUGH

Well, you're home now.

That's all that matters.

Can't believe we almost lost you.

Well?

We got the records off that
number from Maddox, sir,

the one from Lexie Mangan's phone,

that made those threatening
calls to the Devlins.

Someone's disconnected it.

We can't get through any more.

Any other calls, incoming
or outgoing?

Nothing useful - just the one to
Maddox a few days ago.

Aargh! Look, I need you to be
my eyes and ears

on Operation Mirror, O'Neill.

Anything that links it
to Katy Devlin's murder.

Yes, sir.

And if you can find a way to help me
fuck up Mackey, you can sit

on me lap and I'll give you
a sweetie.

And you,

what've you got?

Reilly has us going through all this
to locate Shane Waters.

He's convinced Shane is the key
to unlocking Vestal,

and Shane's very elusive.

We're looking at CCTV, HSE files.

Local Garda are trawling shelters
and other known spots.

Where is Reilly?

No idea, sir.

PHONE RINGS

Reilly.

Where are you?

Knocknaree.

Just following up on a tip, sir.

What tip?

More estate gossip.

Just a tip I need to follow up.

I'll be back...soon.

HE KNOCKS ON DOOR

I don't know what else you want.

I've told you all I remember.

I never seen him around the school,
around here.

Nowhere.

Have you seen Cathal Mills recently?

He got into computers.

Lives abroad, so I hear.

No, he's here in Dublin.

This is him now.

Could they be the same man?

They look nothing alike.

Why would Cathal be stalking
a little girl?

Was he ever sexually inappropriate
towards Jamie Rowan?

Suggestive?

It was the '80s, detective.

Men said dirty things to girls.

And why would Cathal Mills go
after Katy Devlin?

Because he, Jonathan, Shane and
Margaret are all keeping a secret.

And so are you.

Because you weren't
with your parents when

the children disappeared.

You were in the woods.

Maybe.

For an hour or so,
but then I went home.

What happened to the children?

I don't know!

Christ... If I did know,
I'd have told you.

I don't remember seeing them
at all that day.

But they saw you.

You, Cathal, Jonathan and Shane.

I have reason to believe
that Jamie, Peter

and Adam witnessed a violent crime.

Against you.

I have reason to believe that what
they witnessed was rape.

Who the fuck are you talking to?

Who's saying that?

Sandra, I can only question Jonathan
and Cathal if you talk to me.

Tell me the truth about what
happened to you,

what happened to the children...

I don't know.

I don't fucking know!

Get out of me house.

Get out of me fucking house!

Get out.

Get out!

You're going for a walk?

Just a quick one.

For some air.

But, Lex, aren't you scared?

Why?

Well, last time you went for a walk,
you didn't come back.

If you're so worried,
why don't you all come with me?

Interesting...

I think this is the coldest
I've ever been.

I better not be stepping in shit!

Pipe down, Rafe.

That's where the blood is
washed away...

..not just from rain but someone
went out with detergent.

What is it, Lexie?

What's wrong?

I don't think I feel very well.

Come on.

Let's get you home.

Come on.

Justin, let's go.

FRANK: That's it - turn the screw.

Peter?

Jamie?

Where are you?

Didn't know you were still here.

I've been going back through
the case.

Back to the beginning,
like you said, sir.

Good.

Ah... Alicia Rowan hasn't been
off the phone all afternoon.

She's not letting go of Adam Reilly.

Think someone should to go down and
tell her in person that he's dead.

I'll go tomorrow, sir.

Good.

Don't stay too late.

You won't catch Katy's killer
if you're knackered.

CREAKING

WHISPERS: Come inside.

Rafe, I know you've been using -
I can see it in your eyes.

And you promised Daniel...

Well, that was then.

Things have changed.

But you promised.

Justin, who gives a fuck?

Just come inside.

I think she's back to her old self.

That's because she's got you.

We've all got you.

You're so strong.

I don't know what I'd do
without you, Abby.

Well, I don't feel strong.

Hey.

What?

Are you disagreeing with me?

ABBY LAUGHS
What are you doing?

Boo!

Not funny, Lex.

What are you doing?

Just thirsty.

What are yous two whispering about?

Nothing.

You should get some rest.

OK.

Well, sleep tight.

Yep.

What the fuck, Abby?

SHE YAWNS

What?

What are you doing here?

I was worried.

I came to check on you -
you were stirring.

Mumbling all sorts.

Thought I'd better stay, in case
you were having a nightmare.

Well, I'm awake now.

So...how are you?

I mean...really.

Oh, you mean the baby?

I wanted to ask before,
but I wasn't sure.

You never...

..said anything.

It didn't make it.

Too much blood loss, and the cold.

Oh, Lex.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so sorry, I really am.

Do the guys know?

No.

Let's keep it to ourselves, yeah?

Women's business.

Well, shall we sort breakfast?

Be down in a sec.

As you know, Miss Rowan, we've been
looking for Adam Reilly,

but I'm afraid to have to tell you
he died a couple of years ago.

How?

A car accident,

in New Zealand.

Was it his mother who told you that?

Because she'd be lying.

She always lied for him.

Miss Rowan, I know it's not
what you want to hear.

I know you thought he would
have answers.

I would know if Adam Reilly
were dead.

He's the only one who knows what
happened to my little girl.

And as a mother, I would know.

It isn't true.

We're still waiting on
official records.

It could take weeks, months even.

He got to grow up, move away,

move on with his life.

He must've forgotten all about them.

Well, that's an hour of my life
I'm never getting back.

I bet you loved it really.

Another walk?

You sure you're feeling well enough?

Don't I seem much better?

Fuck's sake!

Can't we just go back to being
normal now?

We just want you to be safe.

Well, if it makes you feel better,
I will grab a horsewhip

from upstairs and douse myself
in Rafe's cologne.

No one'll come near me.

THEY LAUGH

WHISTLE

Fancy meeting you here.

You got out on your own, then.

How's it going in there?

Well, they're definitely
hiding something.

They're on edge.

Hiding it, but they're not all
happy she's home.

No suspicion, though,
from what I've seen.

But don't drop your guard.

You made it past the first
few days - no slip-ups, no bumps.

That's a start.

From now on, we meet here
whenever Lexie goes on a walk, OK?

So what have you got so far?

Daniel's king of touchy-feely.

Rafe and Justin have
their own thing going on.

Abby doesn't want the boys
knowing about the baby.

Get the feeling she's worried
it's Daniel's.

Well, let's see if you get any
night-time knocks before the DNA

results come back.

Don't worry.

You've got your pussing wound
as an excuse.

Jesus, Frank!

Where are we with Lexie's identity?

Local search came back with nothing
so we've gone international.

Missing persons cases,
bloody millions of them.

That'll take a while.

OK.

Right, what else?

Abby's just as we thought.

Do anything for Daniel,

but she's smarter than he thinks.

She doesn't trust him completely.

I think I can get to her.

Good.

Well, now we know their weaknesses,
what's your plans with Danny boy?

He's hard to read.

Thinks he has them all like
puppets on a string.

If we break the others,

we get to him.

Divide and conquer -
that's the plan.

OK.

Look after yourself.

See you tomorrow.

I shouldn't be encouraging you.

Why?

What's Daniel said now?

Just get the feeling that he's,
erm...

..concerned.

Oh, Rafe...

He'll go mad.

Fuck it. He's mad anyway.

Kept saying the police were lying
and you never made it

to the hospital.

All the while, Justin's cooking
giant stews and cakes, and Abby's

planting bulbs for spring and
arranging her dolls like a lunatic.

Daniel's ranting about you
being dead.

And that's right after
we'd seen you.

We'd seen you.

Why the hell would he think that?

They'd fucking lost it.

All of them.

So why didn't you just
fuck off, then?

I thought about it.

Thought about a lot things.

Don't tell him about the...

There's a lot I don't tell Daniel.

CHILD SCREAMS AND DOGS BARK

You fucking little bastards!

Peter?

Jamie?

Come back!

Peter!

Lexie?

Jesus!

Special delivery.

Contract and payment.

I don't do this for just anyone.

I thought you were going to call.

Yeah, I had to dump the phone cos
some fucker kept ringing it out.

Some wanker detective.

He's been all around the village,
in the office.

A pain in me hole...

Oh, poor you.

Having to change your number.

I got fucking stabbed.

Yeah, I know.

So...

..we're still on?

While you were in hospital
I got everything sorted.

The money's cleared.

It's yours when you want it.

I just need you to sign.

Changed my mind.

I want more.

But we agreed.

It's a seller's market.

300.

Not possible.

Tell your boss,

no deal, then.

Offer expires soon.

Greedy bitch.

Tick tock!

I can see why someone stabbed you.

He's charming.

Did you recognise him?

No.

He'll be back, though.

I made sure of that.

Lexie was selling him something big.

Looks like an offshore account.

I'll pass it to O'Neill,
see if there's anything to trace.

We can't meet here any more.

Well, this'll cheer you up.

DNA results are back from the lab.

Turns out Danny boy isn't our
baby daddy after all.

And neither is Justin.

Rafe?

I keep saying we should sort
those boxes.

Who knows what we'll find.

I'll guess.

Some more junk?

Excuse me.

Junk's been in my family
for generations.

Is this going to be us
for the rest of our lives?

Eating dinner, shiteing on about
antiques till we're old

and grey and dribbling?

Just this?

Do you have anything else in mind?

I dunno. It just seems...

..boring, all of a sudden.

Everything the same,
never switching things up.

Well, at least I can put onion in
the stew more than once a year now.

I guess it doesn't really make
you gag after all?

I think the antibiotics are doing
weird things in my mouth.

I thought it was the texture
you didn't like.

God, you should see your faces.

I was having you on!

I was fucking with you
this whole time.

CRASH

Which way did he go?

Prick. I'll kill him.

Did you get him?

I think he's hiding.

Can't say I blame him.

He knows he's outnumbered.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

You know what my ancestors used to
do with peasants who slipped

out of line.

He's moving.

Get him!

Hurry.

Jesus, Lexie, be careful -
you'll hurt yourself.

Daniel, don't!

What the hell were you thinking?!

I was thinking I needed
my grandfather's gun,

because that bastard could've been
the one who stabbed Lexie.

And he could've been trying to
hurt one of us again.

Lexie, did he... Are-are-are you...

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Back to your old self.
What did he throw, anyway?

It was a rock.

There was something
sellotaped to it.

Oh, my God.

Actual torch-bearing villagers.

Awesome.

We should call the police.

Are you insane? They could
arrest you, Daniel. For what?

The gun.

What gun?

I can't go through that again.

We'd be handing them a suspect.

Will we call Detective Mackey, or
what about the other one - O'Neill?

What do you think, Lex?

I can't stand Mackey. He hates us.

O'Neill was nicer.

Then we're all agreed.

We left everything the way it
was for you, detective.

Well, needless to say, it would've
been better if you'd just called us.

Yeah, well.

We wanted to get a good look at him,
given the recent circumstances.

All the more reason it was
a bleedin' stupid thing to do,

chasing after him in the dark.

He attacked us. Can't you see?

So did any of you get a look, then?

We know he was from the village.

He had stubble.

I felt it.

And I scratched him,
right across the neck,

so he'll have marks.

That was pretty reckless of you.

Just trying to be helpful,
detective.

We'll give you a call
when we find him.

Meantime, might be an idea
to lay low.

Stay out of the village.

Thank you, detective.

What about chorizo?

We haven't had chorizo in ages.

Do you think the house is
all right?

Shouldn't one of us have stayed,
you know, just in case...

Oh, calm down, Justin.

They won't actually burn it down.

Chocolate. That's what we need.

I'll come with you.

Your favourite.

Kept loads of them at home
while you were gone.

I wanted to bring them to the
hospital but they wouldn't let us,

so Rafe ate them all instead.

Sounds about right.

I hated the idea of you there,

all on your own, no-one to talk to.

Shit...

Here!

Here, you...

I knew it was you.

Where the fuck have you been,
now, eh?

Here, I'm talking to you.

Look, you've got the wrong person.

No, I haven't.

You said you were going to help me.

You said you were going to do
something.

And you just left me, left me
all alone there...

I don't know who you are.

Fuck you, you don't know who I am!

Are you fucking thick or something?

What?

Let me make this clearer.

Fuck off.

Fuck you!

Fuck you, you stuck-up
little bitch...

Do I have to repeat myself?

I'm having a baby...

..and people keep on fucking
hitting me!

Everything OK?

Sorry.

Just someone I used to deal to.

She can't get it into her head
I don't do it any more.

Come on.

Hi, Cassie.

Holly.

I see you're a unicorn?

Yeah.

It's her choice.

What, to come on a stakeout?

Ah, she's fine.

Here, put your homework away, love.

Get back on your computer game, OK?

There's a good girl.

Villager with a brick is
John Naylor, local pisshead.

Says he got those scrapes
coming off his bike.

Which is currently a better excuse
than I've got for the DPP.

You saying you never got into
a punch-up when you were

in the field?

I'm just checking you're not
losing yourself.

I want you to come in tomorrow.

O'Neill's going to have
another go at him,

push at the stabbing.

Could be useful to have you there.

Come in through the side door,
keep your head down, OK?

Why haven't we found her yet?

We have to find out who Lexie
really was.

I won't have her buried as
a Jane Doe.

All right, calm down.
I told you, we're looking.

You know she's going to hate you
by the time she's 13, right?

See you, Holly.

Well, we were all there.

Yeah, why is it just her?

Did they ever say why they only
wanted to see you, not all of us?

I guess they want to see
if I recognise him,

if it helps me remember
anything about the stabbing.

Mm. Bye.

OTHERS: Bye.

# And his cheeks were
all aglow... #

Well, I suppose
it could've been him.

# I bear orders from the captain,
get you ready quick and soon... #

He was at this all of yesterday.

# For the pikes must be together
at the rising of the moon... #

Mr Naylor?

# At the rising of the moon... #

It's clear to me there's bad feeling
between Glenskehy and those

up at the house.

# ..of the moon... #

Ah, I can't say I blame them...
# With the pike upon your... #

..tearing into someone attacking
their house, their home.

# ..shoulder at the rising
of the moon... #

What did they do to deserve that?
# Oh, come tell me... #

It's what they stand for.

Them, up there, the Marches.

Living like that
while the rest of us suffer.

So a rock through the window's
your best solution?

Or, better still,
burn the place down?

We have a chance to live better.

They're the ones blocking
the motorway,

blocking our chance to earn
some decent money.

They're just a bunch of students.

But you hated them, didn't you?

And you've a habit of hanging
in those lanes after a few drinks.

Suppose one night, you bring
a knife with you,

you see Lexie Mangan
out on one of her walks.

Shame on you.

They whistle and you come running
like a good little dog.

Treating me like a criminal, when
they're the ones pulled a gun on me.

Now, whatever criminals
you're looking for,

they're in that house.

A gun?

If there's a gun in that house,
you know I'm going to have

to report it.

And that means pulling you out.

So, are you telling me
there's a gun?

No, Frank.

There's no gun.

# ..be together
at the rising of... #

Where's Mackey?

Submitting Naylor's
audition tape for X Factor.

I need you to do something.

Piss off.

Sam, can you check on Alannah Shorey
for me?

Please.

What'd you do to her this time?

Just promise you'll check
on her, OK?

What the hell are you doing, Cassie?

He has an alibi.

My guy just confirmed it.

The night of the murder, he was
in a bust-up down the local.

Got locked in the tank
until morning.

What about the gun?

Yeah, nice little story to wiggle
his way out of an assault charge.

Well, you searched that whole house
top to bottom, didn't you, yeah?

Just to be safe, you get yours
back on you, OK?

At all times - no exceptions,
you hear me?

I don't care where
you have to stash it.

Yes, boss.

Well, off you go.

We're getting close now.

Won't be too long till you're back
here for good, OK?

If anything happens to her...

..anything -

I'll fucking kill you.

Said he wasn't the one
who stabbed me.

He had an alibi or something.

They just...were asking me
all these questions.

Like what?

Ah, how he got the scratches
on his neck,

how many of us were chasing him.

I thought they were going to charge
me with assault.

I told you this would happen.

Did they mention the gun?

No.

But do you think we should get
rid of it, just in case?

But he can't have said anything.

You think that's it?

They're going to let us live
in peace now?

She's right - we need to get fucking
rid of that thing.

No.

It's mine.

Calm down, Rafe.

Why do you always get to
decide everything?

Always telling me what to do.

Who put you in charge?
Who made you the fucking king?

Oh, Christ, Justin,
don't start that again!

Flinching like a kicked kid.

When are you going to grow
a fucking pair, hmm?

Don't talk to me like that.

What?

What was that?

You mumbling, stammering twat!

I said, don't talk to me like that,
that's all. Just don't...

HE BURSTS OUT LAUGHING

Or what?

What puts me in charge,
what makes me king,

to use your own phrase, is the fact
that I'm not unravelling,

and I'm thinking with clarity,
and I'm going to handle it,

like I always do.

So put a leash on yourself, Rafe.

You fucking prick!

Rafe, that's enough.

It's OK.

It's all right.

We should be angry.

But not with each other.

Maybe that lowlife didn't
stab Lexie,

but it doesn't mean one of his
friends couldn't have.

I say we go down to the village,
we show them that we're not afraid.

You up for that?

Always.

Evening, all.

So good to be back.

Don't worry - we know you don't like
to serve us, so we brought our own.

But could we trouble you
for an ice bucket, please?

Can we just sit down?

Well, hello.

Fancy seeing you here.

Who's your friend?

Did you...

..tell him I gave you those?

What the fuck are you looking at?

A toast.

To all of you.

What lovely neighbours you are.

SHE LAUGHS

Always one for an entrance.

I'm going for a fag.

..D, one, six,
five, four, eight...

Justin, just wait, will you?

Lexie, what are you doing?

Just lighting up. Give me a second.

Well, keep an eye on him.

I'm going to get another drink.

What's the matter with you?

I'm not going back in there.

What are you so afraid of, Justin?

I'm the one who got stabbed,
not you.

It still doesn't make sense to me,
you know.

I'm sure they fucking hate us in
there, but stabbing me -

none of those auld folks
have it in them.

You know what the guards told me
when I was at the station?

They said Daniel once tried
to kill someone.

Did you know that?

What?

When he was 17.

But the whole thing's just weird.

Did you really not notice I didn't
come home that night?

Justin, you can tell me.

I just want to know what happened
to me.

CHURCH BELLS

This place is dead!

Let's go home.

Did you get lost on the way
to double maths?

Erm, is Detective Reilly here?

Ah, do a number plate trace.

Detective Reilly?

I came soon as I could.

We nicked a shoplifting gang
yesterday.

Yeah, they scored, like,
1,000 euros' worth of stuff

in under two hours -
gifts and...

Right, so I was going back through
the footage of where they hit.

Look.

Yeah, I didn't, I didn't see it
at first. Then I saw the paint cans.

That's him. Finally.

I knew it!

I knew that was Shane Waters
the second I saw him!

What was that?

You've found Shane Waters?

Well, fuck me sideways.

I don't know you,

but I love you.

No, seriously, I fucking do.

He's right, you know.

Well done, Phelan.

O'Neill, get a look at this beauty.

All right, come on, Quigley,
we've got to go.

Good news, sir.

We've found Shane Waters.

He's alive.

He's still here in Dublin.

So this is our star witness?

Well, let the plods get on to it.

We'll see what state he's in
when they find him.

He's going to be the key, sir -
I can feel it.

No, it's still just speculation,
Reilly.

Where are you with that cheque
Mackey got us

from our mystery caller?

I just read O'Neill's report, sir.

Foreign banks,
endless holding companies.

It's a paper trail to nowhere.

Yeah, well, let's keep
pushing it, huh?

You know, there better be something
from that shit show

Mackey's running. Everybody thinks
he's Billy Big Bollocks because

he gets results, but he's dangerous.
He cuts corners.

Gets people killed.

Good officers, friends of mine.

You should've talked her out it...

..Maddox.

The whole thing.

Maddox is a survivor.

Let the fun begin!

Are you going to introduce me
to your friend, Heather?

What?

Fuck off.

Come on, then.

KNOCK AT DOOR

ABBY: Lexie?

Rafe's done his punch and we're all

MUSIC PLAYS

Sorry we didn't wait for you.

For you, my dear.

I've been thinking there's something
I need to tell you.

What is it?

I want to do right by you, Abby.

I didn't before, and then
I almost died.

It's for the best
that I lost the baby.

I think it would've been very
painful for you.

Not at all.

Daniel would've been so happy.

We all would've been.

TO THE OTHERS: Hey, let's get
the party started!

Jesus, Rob!

Bastard.

I am done with you.

I'm done with you, Rob.

Do you hear me? Aargh...

I mean it this time.

Don't come home.

LAUGHTER

We're so happy!

We're all so happy.

RAFE DISTORTED: Give me a smile...

DISTORTED LAUGHTER

Who the fuck...are...you?

SHE STRUGGLES TO BREATHE

Hm?

I've got a sighting
of Shane Waters for you.

They didn't know his name.

They did just recognised the
description of that jacket he wears.

Shane?

What are you doing?

There's nothing there.

It's an old scar.

So what's the plan, Dan?

Your job is to apprehend
the killer of Katy Devlin.

Get the fuck away from my baby!

My house. Mine.

You don't want to do this today.

My main objective...

Hey, hey... Whoa, whoa, whoa!

..is to find out which one of you
murdered Alexandra Mangan?
