Harry Wild (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - No One Here Gets Out Alive - full transcript

Zoe McCann is a recovering addict fighting each day to slay her demons; when she is abducted only to wake up in a forest wearing a vintage ballgown, her sanity and resolve are pushed to the limit.

Is everything okay?

Do you need some help?

What the fu...?

Can't tell you who it is
because no one's told me.

All I know is they're sending
someone in to run things

while the superintendent's
on suspension.

We'll just carry on as normal.

Shitney!

What are you doing here?

Charlie Wild, just the
man I'm looking for.

Actually it's not a great time.



- You heard about the chief?
- Yeah.

Asshole they've sent to
replace him's due in any time.

Easy now.

Huh.

I don't understand.
You're a D.I.

It's a hell of a
jump up the ladder

to Acting Chief Superintendent.

I'm as surprised
as you are, pal.

The call literally
came out of the blue.

But I'm hardly gonna
turn it down, am I?

Come on, Shitney,
there has to be...

Hey, hey, hey. Whitney, okay?

Don't think the
nickname's appropriate

under the circumstances,
do you, Charlie?



No. Sorry, force of habit.

Look, I shouldn't
be telling you this,

but Ray showed your mother
classified documents.

Ah, he would never.

And there is talk that
you knew about it.

You were complicit.

That's bollocks.

Things got sloppy under Ray.

Now I've been sent in to make
this unit more efficient.

So, while the internal
investigation is ongoing,

you need to have nothing
more to do with him.

Not a problem.

Or your mother.

What? She's my mother.

I can't not talk
to my other mother,

as much as I'd like
that sometimes.

Okay, okay.

Well, I understand, and I
respect your decision, Charlie.

Thanks, Shit...

Sir.

But it gives me no choice

but to suspend you from
duty as of now, okay?

Good lad.

Uh, I'd just like
to say a few words.

I wrote it down like, but
then I lost the bit of paper.

You don't need to
say anything, Da.

No, no, no.

I do.

I'm very proud of you, Fergus.

You've done so well, son.

I don't know what I did right
to get two such amazing kids.

When your mammy left us,
God bless her soul...

She's not dead, Da.

More's the pity.

Da!

Sorry, uh...

I didn't know how I'd cope,

and I wouldn't have, if it
hadn't been for you, Ferg.

And now you've done
so well in your exams.

I can't believe it.

I'm absolutely thrilled.

And a big part of that has to
go to your fairy godmother here.

Oh.

Harry, thank you for what
you've done for my son.

For all of us.

You're a saint.

Oh!

I think that's God disagreeing.

To Fergus!

- Fergus!
- To me!

Okay. My round I think.

- Same again?
- Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry Lola couldn't come.

You know I don't
agree with Orla.

Nah, it's fine.

No biggie.

I thought you two were...

Oh. No, no, it was
nothing serious.

Kind of hard to imagine you
playing house with someone.

It's just temporary.

There you go, honey bunny.

Thanks.

Possibly very temporary.

Oh, it's not like
you to be late.

You missed all the free booze.

Have I? Bugger.

Look, Ray's at the bar.
Just tell him what you want.

Right. Oh, I almost forgot

I brought someone
to see both of you.

You know my Petra?

Yeah, the one that
always steals from you?

Yeah, that's her.

She's got a cousin
Valerie who works in Lidl,

see, and her co-worker Tania,

she's got a schnauzer
called Ralphie, okay.

Now, poor little Ralphie,

he's got terrible
trouble with his teeth.

Rotting in his head they are,
and Tania's tried everything,

but he will not
let her clean them.

He's a stubborn little bugger.

I'm very confused, Glenn.

Who have you brought to see us?

Valerie, Tania, or the mutt?

Oh, none of them!

I've brought the receptionist

who works at the vets
where Tania brings Ralphie.

Zoe, come on, don't be shy.

This is Harry, and
this is Fergus.

Zoe.

Did you go to the Guards?

Surely they take
abduction seriously.

They did to begin with, but
then they ran my details and...

I'm not gonna lie, I've
had some issue with drugs

and alcohol in the past,

but I've been sober for two
years, one month and 27 days.

Before that, I was a mess.

I made a false
allegation against my ex,

and the Guards just think
I've gone off the wagon.

But I swear that I haven't.

Do you remember anything?

Anything at all?

Bits. Some of it
doesn't make sense.

All of it really.

I was at a table, and it
was like a dinner party.

And there were
other people there?

I don't remember their faces.

This isn't gonna help
in convincing you

I'm not drunk, but
Elvis was there.

Like a big, fat Elvis.

And then I was running
through the woods

and Elvis was chasing me.

I passed out, and when I
woke up, I was wearing this.

Looks old.

Vintage.

Are you gonna help me?

Because I'm terrified that
they're gonna come back for me,

and I'm pretty sure I'm
still being followed.

Of course we can help.

What the bloody hell
is going on here?!

Drum kit! Brilliant, isn't it?

Where did it come from?

Okay, so,

I woke up this morning,
and I don't know why,

but I felt like today
is the first day

of the rest of my life,
do you know what I mean?

This does not explain the drums.

No, so I had all this energy,
and I thought I'd go for a run,

and I got to the
next street over,

and there's this guy loading
all of these instruments

into his garage, so I stopped
and I got talking to him,

and it turns out his
wife is having a baby

and his music room is
now a nursery... ta-da!

And just last night I
was talking to your man,

uh, Glenn and he
said that maybe,

maybe my suspension is
a blessing in disguise.

It's the universe telling me

that I'm still a
relatively young man

and I don't need to
be a Guard anymore.

So you're gonna be a drummer?

Yeah, I know, I
know, but why not?

It was my dream as a kid.
Did I never tell you that?

Yes, yes, you did.

Look, Ray, I get it.

You've worked your bollocks
off to become Chief,

and having that taken away
would knock anyone for six,

but we are going to
get your job back.

Yeah, but that's just it, Harry.
I don't think I want it back.

Yes, you do. We
both know you do.

You're just fooling yourself!

Mmm, no.

I don't think so.

This is the last one.

Fergus.

Need any help, just say.

Uh, actually we do.

Um, we were wondering if,
uh, if this was bought here.

Oh, yes, absolutely.
I remember this.

Oh.

Lovely piece, don't you think?

Do you remember who bought it?

I do.

As it happens, I
remember him well

because he asked for it
to be altered, you see?

Said it was a little on the
large side for his lady friend.

Would you know the
name of this man?

Oh, yes.

He had to leave
his name and number

so I could phone him
when the dress was ready.

Uh, here it is.

It's...

Josh Cooper?

That can't be.

Josh is my ex,

the one that I made the
false allegation against.

Maybe he's holding a grudge?

He's not the type.

Plus that definitely wasn't him.

Josh is tall and skinny.

Can you think of anyone
who might be responsible?

There is this one guy, Keith.

He runs my local AA.

He's kind of creepy.

I don't know, it didn't
feel like him either.

Why so many French books?

I'm half French. My mother.

My father's Irish.

You might want to think
about staying there.

They live in Provence,
placed called Pertuis.

I haven't spoken to them for...

I put them through a ton
of shit back in the day,

and they want nothing
to do with me.

Well, parents can
be very forgiving.

I can't.

It'd end me if they
didn't take my call.

So how do we go about finding
this, uh, Josh Cooper?

What if he doesn't
live here anymore?

I mean, Zoe's not
seen him in years.

There's only one
way to find out.

You do remember what
happened the last time

you knocked on a
kidnapper's door?

But this is different.

Besides, last time,
I didn't knock.

Right. Well, I'm
coming with you.

It doesn't take two
people to knock on a door!

Okay. Then you stay here.

Oh, my God.

That is never a good sign when
that happens in the movies.

We should call Charlie.

Good idea. You call him.
He's not talking to me.

Harry!

"To my darling Zoe,
if I can't have you,

then I don't want to live."

Okay.

Now it's time to call Charlie.

Let's hope he's not
going to be too tiresome.

Harry, this is Acting Chief
Superintendent Robin Whitney.

He's Ray's replacement.

Harry Wild. Heard
lots about you.

Where's Charlie?

He's been suspended.

Well, what on earth for?

Same thing as my predecessor.

I guess I've you to
thank for my promotion.

Ray never showed me any
classified documents,

and neither did Charlie,

and Superintendents,
acting or not,

are rarely the
investigating officers.

Well, I guess I'm a
little bit more hands

on than my predecessor,
in some respects.

Ugh.

Jordan here will make sure
you guys get to the station.

A Miss McCann has
also been picked up.

We'll need to
question all of you.

Okay?

Good lad, Jordan. Nice
to meet you, Harry.

I don't like him.

Join the club.

How can you put them
both in the same room?

I'm Miss McCann's legal rep.

Well, you can't have just anyone
as your legal representative.

I have a PhD in law, so,
yes, she can have me.

Is that true?

As far as I know, sir.

For the benefit of the tape,
I'm showing Miss McCann

a mobile phone marked
into evidence as 1RW.

Miss McCann, do
you recognize that?

Yes.

It's mine. My old one.

I lost it on the
night I was abducted.

Was this from Josh's house?

You said earlier
that you didn't think

it was Josh who "abducted" you.

Uh, for the benefit of the tape,

Acting Chief Superintendent
Whitney just used "air quotes"

about abducted.

Now, what does that mean?

Miss McCann.

What can you tell me
about Belim Dushku?

I don't know who that is.

Oh, I find that very
hard to believe,

seeing as your boyfriend
worked for him.

Belim Dushku is an
Albanian national,

a drug dealer, and
Josh's employer

during the time you claim
you guys were a couple.

No.

Josh worked in clubs selling
pills for his friend Rabbit.

I don't know what
Rabbit's real name was,

but I don't think it was Belim.

Rabbit's real name
is Michael Byrne.

He worked for Dushku,
Josh worked for him,

ergo, therefore, Josh
worked for Dushku.

Did you work for
Belim Dushku, too?

What? No.

Josh Cooper didn't
commit suicide.

He was murdered. Made to
look like an overdose.

Miss McCann, did
you kill Josh Cooper

on the orders of Belim Dushku

and make it look like
an accidental overdose?

What? No, I...

Harry?

This is tenuous,
and we both know it.

Did you find any of my client's
fingerprints at the house,

other than on her phone?

- Miss McCann!
- Answer the question.

The investigation is ongoing.

So in other words, no.

Well, I'm sure I don't
have to remind you,

Chief Superintendent,
of Section 51 of.

An Garda Síochána
Evidentiary Act, 1989,

Section 1 and Four.

Look, it's in your
client's best interest

to cooperate fully
with the inv...

Well, she is fully cooperating.

What was the preliminary
time of death?

Uh, yesterday between
4:00 and 6:00.

Oh, well. That's it.

Zoe was with me.

Need I remind you of Talbot...

Stop, okay!

Stop! We're done!

This is

over.

Marvelous.

There is no An Garda Síochána
Evidentiary Act of 1989.

Is there not? Hmm.

One would expect a Chief
Superintendent to know that.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll talk to you in a bit.

Okay. I've got to
go. See you soon.

Thanks, Harry.

I couldn't have done that,
talked to him like that.

I need to go to a meeting.

With who?

We'll give you a lift.

Uh, actually I'm gonna
go and see me mate.

He lives nearby.

Listen, don't worry, Zoe.

We'll work it out, yeah?

Oh, hello, Zoe.

I didn't mean to
startle you there.

It's okay.

Just... my mind was elsewhere.

How are you, Keith?

Oh, you know, making sure I
don't pick a fight with reality.

Not one any of us
are going to win.

If you don't mind me saying,

I mean, not that it's
my place to say...

Please, just say it.

You're looking stressed, I want
to say, not that it's my place.

There's just a lot
going on at the moment.

I understand.

Remember if you
ever need to talk,

I'm always available, 24/7,
365, 66 in a leap year.

- Alright.
- Hey.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Why did you stop us?
That was sounding great!

We're starting a band, Harry!

You can be a
groupie if you like.

Feel free to throw
your panties at us.

- Glenn?
- What Harry?

- Piss off.
- Right you are.

Wait. I'll come with you.

We need to work on
a name for the band.

- Good man.
- Ray!

You don't want this.

You're a Guard,
that's who you are.

You don't know Vivian, Harry.

She always gets what she wants.

My career is over.

Just let me forget that
for a little longer, yeah?

What about U3?

I'll show Bono, the prick!

I don't get it.

Well, it's one better, innit?

One better than what?

I want to go to
America, ride a horse

across some wide open
spaces, you know?

Can you ride a horse?

No.

You want to come with me?

My mam would have an
absolute shit fit, so yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Zoe?

Everything all right?

There's someone in the house.

Well, get out of there!

No, I can't. They...

They've taken the keys out of
the door so I can't unlo...

Zoe? Zoe!

- No!
- Phone Harry.

Zoe!

Zoe!

Now...

Done a runner, has she?

No. Someone took her.

I heard it.

Oh, you heard it.

And what exactly
did you hear, huh?

Struggle, struggle,
scream, scream?

She's only acting it
out for your benefit.

You seem to have made your mind
up before you even arrived here.

Well, riddle me this.
Why call the kid?

Because I'm the first
on her call list.

Either that or because
out of the two of you,

you're the easier one to fool.

Tell me something, Acting
Chief Superintendent.

Who did you have to
fuck to get this job?

Because clearly you
didn't get it on brains.

I hate that woman.

I knew you were being
too cool yesterday.

"No big deal. Plenty
of fish in the sea."

Did you say that about me?

No. I never said
anything about fish.

I was throwing her
off the scent, okay,

like we agreed, and
clearly it worked.

Your mother's going
to have an embolism

when she finds out you two
are still seeing each other.

Well, you can tell her or not.

Life's just a series
of choices, Granny.

Go and help your Ma, will
you? There's more in the car.

More in the car you say?

I know what happened.
I've met Whitney.

The man's an idiot.

He has people he
has to answer to.

Most everyone else does.

This is awkward, and I
hope we can get past it,

and I apologize for
the situation with Ray.

It's just one of those things.

Yeah, because there aren't
that many men in the world

so you have to pick
my best friend.

Yes, you're right!

But listen, I need your help.

There's this young
woman, Zoe McCann.

Whitney thinks she's
on the run because...

I'm going to stop you right
there because I don't care!

I'm not a Guard
anymore because of you!

You're exaggerating!

You've just been
suspended, that's all,

and it wasn't my fault.

Vivian's the one
who wanted you out.

I was good at it!

I really liked my job
so go away, Harry!

Zoe is so vulnerable!

- Just go away Harry!
- Harry?

Aah!

Get out of my house please!

Keith?

Oh.

I'm looking for Zoe McCann.

She was at the 2:00 meeting.
I brought her here myself.

She's gone missing.

Oh, I knew something was wrong.

I could sense the anxiety.

Unfortunately,
that sort of thing

happens all the time with
the people who come here.

They fall off the wagon.

Poor Zoe. She was doing so well.

- She was abducted.
- No.

I shouldn't think so.

No. I'm telling you
that's what happened.

And I hear you.

It's good to talk
in these situations.

Would you like a cup of tea?

I don't get it.

Just because she has
the same type of sugar.

It means she goes to
the same meetings.

Think about it.

The dress came from here,
and we only know about

Josh Cooper because of her.

- It's a bit thin.
- She wanted to throw us

off track so she sent us
on a wild goose chase,

just to keep us busy.

And how would she
even know about him?

Zoe said she talked
about Josh at a meeting.

I mean, maybe.

And the store's closed
in the middle of the day.

I mean, that's weird, right?

Oh, yeah, no.

Definitely a kidnapper then.

I mean, you've
totally convinced me.

Why don't you just stay
here and keep an eye out.

I'm going to ask the neighbor
if they know where she lives.

"Track me?"

What does that mean?

Twat!

That's a beautiful
lie from Cornett.

Off to McKenzie.

Oh, come on.

Charlie, I know you're
not talking to me,

but I just need you to know
that I'm at a place called

Hank low Farm on
the Dunboyne Road,

and if you never
hear from me again,

that's where my corpse will be.

Love you.

Harry!

Harry!

Harry, wake up!

Harry!

You all right?

Is your head spinning?

It's okay.

It passes.

What... what the
hell's going on here?

We're chained to
the bloody floor!

Guess what. You were right.

Karen's fecking
wired to the moon!

Does anybody know you're here?

Oh, that's Brian,
and this is Marie.

You were right about
the meetings, Harry.

That's where she targeted them.

She picks people
no one will miss.

Is anybody gonna come for us?

I left a message with Charlie.

That's her son! He's a Guard!

Yeah? Is he coming? When?

I don't know if he'll
get the message.

For God's sake! I can't
take this anymore!

I can't sit through
this bloody thing again.

You can, Brian! Listen to me.

No matter what she says,

no matter what she does,
she's right, got it?

Just agree with her.

It's easier that way, trust me.

And no matter what you
do, don't mention Jim!

Who's Jim?

Mwah, mwah!

Mwah!

Mwah!

Have you all met?

Oh.

Matching.

I wonder what that
could mean for later?

So...

We've got our new friend back
after the other day's mix-up,

and two new unexpected friends.

Oh, this is going to
be the best night ever.

Oh, poor love.

I blame myself.

I got the dose wrong.

Done it a hundred times,

but I was away with
the fairies that night.

You woke up earlier than
expected and wandered off, hm?

We tried to stop her!

Yep. We called Hector.

I was playing Call of
Duty: Black Ops Zombies.

Karen said I could.

No.

You didn't know where you were,

and you didn't know
what you were doing.

Don't touch me, you crazy bitch!

What you doing?

No, no!

No, stop it, don't!

It's all right. You're
going to be okay.

We don't tolerate
rudeness, do we?

- Absolutely not.
- No, Karen, no.

That was delicious, Karen.

So delicious, Karen.

It was my grandmother's recipe.

Been in the family
for generations.

Why dinner parties?

Funny question.

Who doesn't like a dinner party?

Good food, good friends,
good conversation.

Must've been very
lonely growing up here

with just your grandmother.

How do you know about that?

Your photos.

You're very bright, aren't you?

Your diploma, a First.

Very impressive.

But something happened,
something made you stay here.

Would you like to know what?

It was a shoe.

A feckin' shoe changed
the course of my life.

I'd just graduated.

With that degree, I could've
gone anywhere in the world,

done anything.

I went for a walk, came
home, kicked off my shoes

like I'd done a
thousand times before.

But this time,
Granny didn't see it.

Tripped on it, her foot
went out from under her.

She broke her back.

My fault.

How could I have left then?

What sort of ungrateful
girl leaves then?

But you didn't, did
you? You stayed.

That says a lot about
you as a person.

You did the decent thing.

The hard choice.

But it cost you.

The years dragged on.

You watched your life ebbing
away, and that old woman,

wheelchair-bound,
just would not die.

You got all that
from old photos?

And then Granny dies.

Finally you're free and
your life can begin.

But you're still here.

You met a man.

Aaargh!

How do you know about that?

Because there's
no photos of him.

He was a liar and a cheat!

All those years waiting
for my life to begin,

and I pick him, the dirty man.

I decided then, no one would
ever do that to me again.

You don't lie to me, do you?

Oh, no, Karen!

No, no, never, never.

No one will ever make
a fool of me again.

Did they not tell you the rules?

She didn't know,
Karen! She didn't know!

Please, please don't do this?

Why don't you want to
talk to us about Jim!

Aaaargh!

- Aaaargh!
- A a a ah!

Never say that name in my house!

I think she broke a rib.

I can't do this.

I'm not strong like you.

No, you've been strong for two
years, one month and 28 days.

You can do 29, okay?

Hector! Plates!

Why aren't you tied up?

I'm family.

Family's the most important.

I don't see the
family resemblance.

What was your
grandmother like, Hector?

Don't know. Don't remember.

That's weird.

What do you remember?

Ta-da!

Why don't I remember
Granny, Karen?

You forget things, Hector.

You know you do.

We'll have no more talk of that.

Porridge.

You remember Porridge?

He was my dog.

He was gray.

Maybe from another home?

You have to follow the rules!

Oh!

Karen, where's my dog?

Did you play on the
farm with Porridge?

Shut up!

No, it was by the sea.

By the fairground
next to Crazy Mouse.

But I wasn't allowed
to go in there

because you couldn't take dogs.

Karen, where's my dog?

She killed him.

Didn't you, Karen?

You took him out,
and you shot him.

No!

Why would you do that, Karen?

Why would you do
that to Porridge?

They're lying, Hector.

They're not our friends!

They're not family!

You're not family
either, Hector.

I know this fairground,
it's famous.

It's in Tramore.

It's a long way from here.

No more.

Karen, what did
you do to Porridge?

Hector, enough, enough!

Tramore, we'll take you
there if you let go of Karen.

Here's Charlie.

Huh, predictably late.

Vivian?

You need to reinstate Ray.

We both know that he didn't
show me any classified files.

I don't know that, not for sure.

But what we do know for sure

is that you're no more
innocent than he is.

And what is that
supposed to mean?

Well, that means you're
screwing Whitney.

How dare you.

And you're rather fond of the
White Hart Hotel in Castle knock.

They are discreet,
well, the manager is.

Less so the chambermaids.
They're paid minimum wage.

Ray broke his vows,
but then so did you.

The only difference is that he
didn't do it with a subordinate

which in these hashtag-me-too
days is really frowned upon.

How'd you know that?

I didn't. Just guessed.

It occurred to me that he
must be screwing a higher up.

Only explanation for
how he got that job.

And the hotel?

Oh, he had a box of matches
with the logo on it.

Shot in the dark really.

Hello.

Yes, thank you for
calling back, yes.

She's right here.

Hello?

Daddy?

Thank you.

Time to clean house.

Ah! What is it?!

Ah! Oh!

What is it?

Look, I'm sorry if I gave
you the wrong impression,

but I like my freedom,

and I don't want to live
with you or anyone else.

Okay.

I don't know what I'm
supposed to do now.

Vivian's withdrawn
the accusation.

You can have your old job back.

Oh, thank Christ for that!

How?

How did you make her do that?

I can be charming
when I want to.

Oh.

Don't even know anymore.

I want you to know that I am
truly sorry for what I did.

It was selfish.

I jeopardized your career,
and that was wrong.

Ray's got his job
back, Whitney's gone.

And Ray and I...

And I want to thank you
for coming to our rescue.

You were too late, and we'd
already sorted it all out,

but still, thank you.

You could've ignored me.

Mam.

Thanks.

Harry, will you stay
for a glass of wine?

I promise I won't
pour it on you.

Thanks but, uh,

I'm meeting a friend.

Ah, God, talk about an
eventful few months.

Do you know what?

Life is good.

Got more stability
now than ever before.

I passed my junior cert,
which I did not think

I would do, so thank you.

Got a girlfriend.

One you'll be extremely
respectful towards.

Of course, or I'll have
her gran to answer to.

Mmm. I've heard she can
be a bit of a dragon.

Oh, definitely. She
has her moments.

We... we own a business!

I mean, I am a company director.

And I'm having fun.

Thanks, Harry.

And I thought retirement
was going to be boring.

Mmm.

It's my mam.
