Doineann (2021) Movie Script
Good morning, love.
You have no new messages.
Open up for Mammy.
Dad! Dad!
It's only me.
How is he today?
His temperature's a bit
high, but he seems OK.
Aren't you a gorgeous little boy!
Thank God you got your Mammy's looks.
So, is the shampoo
in the fridge or the cupboard?
The shampoo?
Well, I didn't put it in there
Well, 85%!
It's OK. You've got
a lot on your mind, eh?
Hold on!
Be careful!
I'll take care of it.
Get a plaster.
I'll get it. Get that plaster.
Are you OK, love?
Right, I suppose I have to go
to the mainland, then.
Change of plans, love!
No, it's really not a great time.
Siobhan isn't well.
Yes, I know. I know.
Remember what I told you?
Yeah.
Okay. And...
That's right.
Yeah?
Sounds like the only thing to do.
Is that pan OK, love?
Okay, I'll come,
but it's just there and back.
Okay. Bye.
Siobhan?
Siobhan, you can't
leave the pan on the hob
Come here.
Everything will be OK.
I'll be back this evening, I promise.
The broadcaster wouldn't be happy.
I've done so much work
for this programme.
Everything is falling into place.
Don't worry.
I'll take the ferry over.
I'll leave our boat here,
just in case, but it'll be fine.
The ferry doesn't go until ten.
I saw Macdara on the beach.
I might be able to convince
him to leave earlier.
The sooner I leave,
the sooner it'll be done.
Love?
Macdara!
Are you heading
to the mainland shortly?
He'll leave now,
if I give him a lift to the pier.
There is no shortage
of oddballs on this island,
but he is definitely the weirdest.
Bye bye, my handsome little man.
I'll see you later.
Take care of your poor Mammy.
- A couple of hours. That's all.
- OK.
I'll call to make sure
everything's alright.
Stay near the phone.
Where else would I go?
a red weather warning
for the next few days.
The storm will reach
land late tomorrow.
A warning has been issued..!
Are you in a hurry?
I thought you were
the one who was in a hurry?
I am.
My wife doesn't like
to be on her own.
She gets nervous.
She likes this place though.
She likes the peace.
Hi, love. You in the bath?
My meeting is over but Macdara
won't be back until midday,
so I'll have to wait until then.
I'll do a few messages. Bye, pet.
What kind of fit?
I'm not sure.
I actually didn't see it.
It was my wife that said it was a fit.
Well, I would need to examine your son
before I could consider a diagnosis.
Sometimes I worry that she might...
She might?
Nothing. Nothing.
It's just been quite intense lately.
- She hasn't been herself, and...
- Oh, Mr McMurdo.
I can only discuss your son with you.
Now, if you think your
wife is struggling,
I can recommend a doctor who
specialises in postnatal depression.
He's very good.
Thank you, Doctor.
I'll try and get her
to give him a call.
And let me know if you'd like
an appointment for the child.
It's not like Macdara to be late.
He would want to hurry
with that storm coming.
- Are you waiting for Macdara?
- Yes.
You're that man who lives down
in the timber house over the bay.
This is the fella who does
Sure you don't even have a TV.
What kind of programmes
do you make then?
I'm an investigative journalist.
Crime.
Did you hear that, Labhaoise?
We've a crime expert here.
Do you know what's keeping Macdara?
It's just my wife is sick.
Keep an eye on that,
there's a lot of cancer
because of that new
mobile phone mast they put up.
What's happening?
Are you stranded?
Yes. It's not like Macdara.
Come on. There's only
the five of you. I have my boat.
- Are you sure, Peadar?
- You're welcome. Come on.
Hello!?
Siobhan?
This electromagnetic field extends
about six inches around the phone.
It enters the body
causing brain tumours,
cancer and male infertility.
Is everything OK?
It's Siobhan, my wife.
Has anyone seen my wife?
- Did you look in the house?
He said she was sick.
She can't have gone far.
The police!
How can I get the police?
You'll need to go up there
to the lighthouse to see the Chief.
The Chief will know what to do.
Take the back road.
- No, go the bog road.
- Come on. I'll show you the way.
Sorry. I'm looking for the Chief.
Timber house overlooking the bay?
We weren't properly
introduced earlier. Labhaoise.
I think I'm at the wrong house.
No, you're in the right place.
If you're looking for the police,
I'm as good as you're
going to get on this island.
Come on.
I'm a blow-in too,
you know. 23 years.
My wife is missing! And my son!
OK, take your time.
I came home and she wasn't there.
The baby's gone.
Maybe she left you a note
but you didn't see it.
Her car is gone.
I heard you say earlier
that she was sick.
If she's sick and has a baby,
she won't have gone far.
I'm worried she may have
done something stupid.
To herself or the child?
I don't know.
Now, let's not panic just yet, eh?
Come in. I'll put the kettle on.
Unless there's reason to believe
something untoward
happened to your wife,
we can't report her as missing
until 48 hours have passed.
But I'm sure she will
turn up before that.
I'm sorry to ask you this,
but I have to.
Did you fall out? A fight, maybe?
No, we didn't.
Why did you think
she might hurt herself?
She's been, depressed,
Post-natal depression?
I don't know. She didn't
go to the doctor about it.
- But you're worried.
- Yes.
Very worried.
Well, we'll get a sense
of her state of mind
when we look at the house.
Drink your tea.
We'll do a quick circuit
of the island on the way.
Is this where the car was?
The car ferry only
comes on Wednesdays,
so her car's still on the island.
Yes, but where?
Do you have a boat down there?
Yes, it's still there.
Can she handle a boat?
Yes, but she clearly didn't take it.
I need to talk to Macdara.
He'll know who has
come on or off the island.
But he doesn't carry cars.
The car is on the island somewhere,
but that doesn't mean your wife is.
Will we look inside?
She rarely went out.
Has she no friends in the area?
Our home is in Dublin.
She loves the peace and quiet here.
Siobhan?
- She's beautiful.
- Thank you.
- And the baby.
- How old is he now?
- 11 months.
He's gorgeous.
Has she any family?
Her mother and one brother.
- Are they close?
- No. They are no longer in touch.
That must be tough for her.
Look, I don't mean to be rude,
but can we get back to..!
I don't want to miss something simple
and have you panicking over nothing.
It's a lovely house. Very tidy.
Let me help you.
Is the baby sick too?
Siobhan thought he had
a bit of a temperature.
And this is where you last saw her?
- In this room?
- Yes.
- What time?
- 8:30 or 9:00.
That gives us
a large window to cover.
I called her later.
And how was she then?
She didn't answer. I left a message.
It'll be on the machine.
Your wife wouldn't have
let the baby supplies
run this short, would she?
No. I don't think so.
You've nothing to worry about, then.
She's taking good care
of the little man.
- Did you open that window?
- No.
Your wife has
a good eye for curtains alright.
Beautiful.
Where can we hear
these phone messages?
In my office.
Very interesting.
Just like in the movies.
Is that a map of one of your crimes?
One of the crimes
I'm investigating, yes.
You must be very clever.
Lovely pins and all.
Should we be talking to the police?
- I am the police, my dear.
- On the mainland I mean.
Do you have any reason
to think she's on the mainland?
No.
Flashing lights.
How do you play it?
He's gone.
Ghost in the machine?
Hi, love. You in the bath?
My meeting is over but Macdara
won't be back until midday,
so I'll have to wait until then.
I'll do a few messages. Bye, pet.
- A meeting?
- I was meeting a source.
I just found out this morning
that he wanted to meet.
When I get the call I have
to go, in case they get cold feet.
Can't depend on criminals these days!
He did it!
I'm only joking. I don't know.
That one's Bernie Murphy though.
I knew his father,
from my Dublin days.
I suppose you come across some
strange cases in your game.
I'm sure they don't like you
sticking your nose
into their business.
It's mostly done undercover.
But they're
a clever lot these criminals.
Does anyone have
a grudge against you?
- What?
- Do you have any enemies?
Siobhan has no enemies.
Everyone loves her.
I meant you.
Do you have any enemies?
I, I don't know.
Sometimes women
just need a bit of head space.
I'll check in with Macdara
and organise
a search party to find this car.
I heard there was a storm on the way?
Yes. Tomorrow, they say.
Now, I'll be back.
In the meantime, don't go anywhere,
in case they come back, or call.
One more thing before I go. This?
Oh, that's the utility room.
Does your wife spend
much time in there?
I'd better take a wee look in there.
Just to cover all bases.
Of course.
- Yes?
Labhaoise?
- Was it her?
- They hung up before I answered.
Tell me: why do you have
two separate phone lines?
I have a dedicated line for my work,
in case I need to use the dial-up.
Of course. Thank you.
What happened earlier?
Everyone was waiting at the harbour.
There's a problem with the boat.
The engine is giving me trouble.
Do you know the Mac Murchadhas
up at Coughlan Bay?
No, not really.
They have their own boat, I think.
They bring over their own
supplies and their own post.
Do you not do odd-jobs
up at their house?
I've never been near their house.
Well, the wife and child are missing.
You didn't take them
over to the mainland?
No.
I took the husband over this morning,
which was strange, then, this.
I'm gathering a search party.
Will you join us?
Of course. I'll have to
head home first.
We'll start at the community hall,
while we still have daylight.
We may need your boat
as well, once it's fixed.
Write your number down for me.
Lovely.
Great.
- I'd better get back to..!
- Of course.
Macdara isn't here?
Haven't seen hide nor hair of him.
There's a storm on the way.
I can feel it in my fillings.
Maybe you're just talking too much!
Ten more minutes!
It'll soon be dark.
We'll have to leave
it until daylight.
No! We can't stop!
We can't leave him
outside by himself!
Hey, there's a car here!
Is that her car?
Yes, that's Siobhan's car.
Everybody wait here.
Are you OK?
Can I call anyone for you?
A friend or relative maybe?
No. I don't want to talk
to anyone right now.
Is he gone?
He's gone.
Yeah?
Where is he?
Does he have Oisin?
We were supposed to find Oisin.
- He hasn't shown up yet.
- What?
- Where the fuck is he?
- I don't know.
I was waiting out there
for him for hours.
If Siobhan's body isn't that late,
then why is my son not safe in his cot?
Maybe Bernie couldn't wait any longer.
You said this guy was reliable.
He is.
Not if he's double-crossed us?
What about Bernie fucking Murphy?
What do you not understand?
Life insurance doesn't pay
out if there's nobody.
Bernie must have someone
else on the island.
Are you saying Bernie
Murphy has my son?
I don't know.
Fuck!
Why is this taking so long?
Let them do their work.
We're not far from my house.
You need a break.
Is there anything
you want to tell me?
Excuse me?
Given the nature of your work,
you're involved
in some serious stuff.
Do you think
any of your investigations
caught up with you?
You mean like a ransom?
That would be serious.
And there are things we can do.
They wouldn't risk it.
If they know me, they know
that I have names and details.
And that's exactly why
they would come after you.
When someone is kidnapped,
don't they usually leave a note?
No offence, but you're
not making any sense.
Did you find out
who called you yesterday?
- No. It doesn't matter.
- It doesn't matter?
They didn't call back.
Labhaoise!
Labhaoise! We found a body!
Stay here please.
Peadar, are those
illegal fishing nets?
Ah come on, Labhaoise,
I'm trying to do my best here.
- Who is it?
- I don't know. I didn't look.
Do you recognise him?
Take a good look at him.
No, I've never seen him before.
OK.
Open the other side.
OK.
Cover him up.
Leave those. That's evidence now.
Are you OK to go home by yourself?
Yes. I'm fine.
Yeah?
They just pulled Aidan's
body out of the water.
- Fuck.
- Fuck is right.
- This is serious.
- Yes, this is serious.
At least we know he didn't
double-cross us now.
Bernie must have
someone on the island.
What do you mean,
he has someone on the island?
Where's my fucking son?
I don't know.
Where's my fucking son, Paddy?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Well, fucking find out.
I'm not asking Bernie.
Are you more scared of Bernie or me?
Bernie. It's his move.
If so much as a hair on the
head of that child is harmed
I'll kill you my fucking self.
Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Leisha!
You enjoying life off the grid?
Still a maverick,
working against the system?
It's called retirement, son.
Or it would be, if you lot would send
over some youngster to fill my boots.
Listen, Leisha,
we've a lot on down here.
A lot of work to do.
I don't really have time for a chat.
What do you need?
I need a forensics team.
Some medics and a few of your best men
on the island as soon as possible.
Maybe send some sniffer dogs too.
And what's all this?
A stolen lawn mower?
Somebody messing with
Padder's lobster cages again?
Murder. Possibly plural.
Certainly one murder
and two missing people.
And they are pots, not cages.
Hello?
It's me.
Hi.
Leisha.
I was just wondering
if you needed anything?
I've some homemade soup here. I made
it myself with a good shin bone.
No, I don't want any.
- I'm fine.
- Are you, though?
No. I've had better days.
I understand.
You can leave it at the door.
I'm a bit upset.
Listen, I hope you don't mind,
but I really need the bathroom.
I'm not as young as I used
to be and it's a bit of a hike
over those hills back to my house.
I'll only be two seconds.
- Let me help you here.
- You're OK.
Just leave it.
Please.
It's a bit chilly in here.
Would you not put
the heating on at least?
I hadn't noticed.
I'll put it on for you on my way out.
That's a big job
you're doing on that boat.
Planning on going somewhere?
Not with the storm coming in.
No.
Is there something stuck there?
There's all sorts of crap
in the sea these days.
I can see that.
You don't like him much, do you?
Who's this?
The guy from Dublin.
But his wife is lovely.
And pretty.
I haven't had much to do with her.
I see.
Have you ever had
a dead body on your boat?
We'll need to ship the one
we found to the mainland
for a post mortem at some point.
Just checking you'd be OK with that?
- Of course.
- Lovely.
Macdara, are you there?
I know what's going on.
Open the door.
Are you going to leave me out here?
It's about to pour rain.
- Are you the policewoman?
- Yes, love.
I didn't want to kill him.
Will we go inside?
I'm not crazy.
No.
He sent a man to murder me.
What else could I do?
Tell me everything.
OK.
He got up so early that morning
that I knew he was up to something.
Call it intuition,
but there was something different.
He thinks he's smarter
than everyone else.
He wanted everyone
to think I was crazy.
He wanted me to think I was crazy.
Morning, love.
I started noticing small things.
My house keys would be
in the wrong place,
my jewellery would be
in the wrong drawer.
Shampoo in the fridge?
I had no idea what was going on.
I couldn't trust my own thoughts.
saying I forgot to feed him
or forgot to change him,
that's when I got
suspicious about him.
Open up for Mammy, good boy.
having fits, but I never saw them.
I know my own son.
So, it came down to who I believed,
him or me.
It's only me.
How is he today?
How did that happen?
Hold on!
This had been happening for months.
I couldn't work out
what was true any longer.
It felt like I was sleepwalking.
I had to wake up.
Hey, be careful!
I'll get it.
Get a plaster.
I'll get it. Get that plaster.
It was now or never.
Are you OK, love?
I had to find out.
- Did you get my message?
- No, I haven't been getting any texts.
There's no mobile reception
on this bloody island.
I just got back to land.
He's on his own now.
We can't afford to lose that source.
Everything is in place,
as we discussed.
Right. Well, I suppose I'll
have to come to the mainland.
Change of plans, love!
He'll have reached shore by now. You
need to get out of there immediately.
No, it's really not a great time.
Who gives a fuck if she's not well?
Yes, I know, I know.
Make sure you're gone by
the time he gets there.
- Remember what I told you.
- He knows.
You'll deal with her in the house,
but they'll find her body in the lake.
The baby will be in his cot.
That's right. See him in
the pub within the hour.
Yeah, that sounds like
the only thing to do.
Don't forget to set the keys for him.
Is that pan OK, love?
Okay, I'll come, but it's just there.
Go now.
Siobhan?
Siobhan, you can't leave
the pan on the hob
Everything will be OK.
The broadcaster wouldn't be happy.
I've done so much work
for this programme.
Everything is falling into place.
Don't worry.
I'll take the ferry over.
I'll leave our boat here,
just in case, but it'll be fine.
The ferry doesn't leave until ten.
I saw Macdara on the beach.
I might be able to convince
him to leave earlier.
The sooner I leave,
the sooner it'll be done.
Love?
Macdara!
He'll leave now,
if I give him a lift to the pier.
There is no shortage
of oddballs on this island,
but he is definitely the weirdest.
Bye bye, my handsome little man.
I'll see you later.
Take care of your poor Mammy.
- A couple of hours. That's all.
- OK.
I'll call to make sure
everything's alright.
- Stay near the phone.
- Where else would I go?
I'm just going to set
you down for one second.
Are you ready?
Are you ready? Good boy!
We'll leave now.
Fuck, where is it?
OK, we're going now.
Are you all right now?
- I'm fine.
- Message saved.
And Macdara?
I met him on the beach.
I'd often go for a walk there,
and he saw me crying one day.
He asked me if I was alright.
It had been a long time
since anyone had asked me that.
I started visiting him,
Not like that, we're just friends.
But even that would have
Did he help you clean up too?
We didn't know what to do.
Stick to their plan, I suppose.
He wouldn't have let me leave.
As long as he thought
I was missing, or dead.
I'd go into hiding,
and we'd take it from there.
I haven't seen
my family in two years.
I would always have an excuse.
I wasn't at my aunt's funeral.
That really upset my mother.
She wasn't angry.
I would have preferred that.
I was ready for her anger.
She was just sad.
I told her I'd crashed the car
and wasn't able to travel.
Imagine!
Lying to my own mother.
How much did you know?
Only bits.
Enough to see a picture
that didn't make sense.
I don't know.
We lost the house in Dublin, but
he said he was taking care of it.
Life insurance.
Will I go to prison?
Because I killed a man?
There isn't a jury in the country
that would convict you.
You did what you
had to do to protect your child.
I'm retiring,
but when the weather
settles, they'll come for him.
That man would never let me be.
He'd be there, wherever I went.
That storm's getting worse.
I hope he doesn't try
to leave the island tonight.
He'd never reach the mainland.
The poor baby.
He won't settle without his Teddy.
Of course.
Now, I need to find Macdara.
I'll need his boat tomorrow
when the storm passes.
You'll find him at the jetty.
I know what you did. I'm in Dublin.
Be here in six hours or
I'm telling the police everything.
Attempted murder.
Bernie Murphy. Everything.
I'll be outside the old house.
Macdara!
You have to take me across.
I said, you have to take me across.
I can't in this weather.
You have to take me across, now!
The boat isn't seaworthy.
What do you want?
This?
Is this what you want!?
I'm not taking you anywhere.
- Give me the keys!
- No.
Give me the fucking keys!
Stop it!
Here you go!
Do you know what you're doing?
You have no fucking idea, do you?
Will he make it?
The boat will never hold out.
I've never seen you
throw a fight, Macdara.
Let's go back to my place
and I'll clean you up.
I've hot soup on the stove.
I'll give you some to take home.
Thank you.
I'm surprised at you
being out on a night like that.
I had a few things to pick up.
I called in to your house earlier.
How did you think
that was going to work?
She needed help.
Some men aren't fit to be fathers.
You didn't turn out too bad.
Here's a good big thermos.
Family size.
Is that what you would call it?
We're in the eye of the storm.
The coast guard will
never reach him in that swell.
Still, you better call them.
I know what you did. I'm in Dublin.
Be here in six...!
Message deleted. Next message.
Received today at 12.45 pm.
disturbing me when I'm on holiday?
I don't know anything
about your fucking son.
So sort it out amongst yourselves.
I strongly recommend that
you repay that money at all.
If not...
I'd be worried someone will come
to that island and visit your son.
Lovely.
Message deleted.
You have no new messages.
Open up for Mammy.
Dad! Dad!
It's only me.
How is he today?
His temperature's a bit
high, but he seems OK.
Aren't you a gorgeous little boy!
Thank God you got your Mammy's looks.
So, is the shampoo
in the fridge or the cupboard?
The shampoo?
Well, I didn't put it in there
Well, 85%!
It's OK. You've got
a lot on your mind, eh?
Hold on!
Be careful!
I'll take care of it.
Get a plaster.
I'll get it. Get that plaster.
Are you OK, love?
Right, I suppose I have to go
to the mainland, then.
Change of plans, love!
No, it's really not a great time.
Siobhan isn't well.
Yes, I know. I know.
Remember what I told you?
Yeah.
Okay. And...
That's right.
Yeah?
Sounds like the only thing to do.
Is that pan OK, love?
Okay, I'll come,
but it's just there and back.
Okay. Bye.
Siobhan?
Siobhan, you can't
leave the pan on the hob
Come here.
Everything will be OK.
I'll be back this evening, I promise.
The broadcaster wouldn't be happy.
I've done so much work
for this programme.
Everything is falling into place.
Don't worry.
I'll take the ferry over.

Bye bye, my handsome little man.
I'll see you later.
Take care of your poor Mammy.
- A couple of hours. That's all.
- OK.
I'll call to make sure
everything's alright.
Stay near the phone.
Where else would I go?
a red weather warning
for the next few days.
The storm will reach
land late tomorrow.
A warning has been issued..!
Are you in a hurry?
I thought you were
the one who was in a hurry?
I am.
My wife doesn't like
to be on her own.
She gets nervous.
She likes this place though.
She likes the peace.
Hi, love. You in the bath?
My meeting is over but Macdara
won't be back until midday,
so I'll have to wait until then.
I'll do a few messages. Bye, pet.
What kind of fit?
I'm not sure.
I actually didn't see it.
It was my wife that said it was a fit.
Well, I would need to examine your son
before I could consider a diagnosis.
Sometimes I worry that she might...
She might?
Nothing. Nothing.
It's just been quite intense lately.
- She hasn't been herself, and...
- Oh, Mr McMurdo.
I can only discuss your son with you.
Now, if you think your
wife is struggling,
I can recommend a doctor who
specialises in postnatal depression.
He's very good.
Thank you, Doctor.
I'll try and get her
to give him a call.
And let me know if you'd like
an appointment for the child.
It's not like Macdara to be late.
He would want to hurry
with that storm coming.
- Are you waiting for Macdara?
- Yes.
You're that man who lives down
in the timber house over the bay.
This is the fella who does
Sure you don't even have a TV.
What kind of programmes
do you make then?
I'm an investigative journalist.
Crime.
Did you hear that, Labhaoise?
We've a crime expert here.
Do you know what's keeping Macdara?
It's just my wife is sick.
Keep an eye on that,
there's a lot of cancer
because of that new
mobile phone mast they put up.
What's happening?
Are you stranded?
Yes. It's not like Macdara.
Come on. There's only
the five of you. I have my boat.
- Are you sure, Peadar?
- You're welcome. Come on.
Hello!?
Siobhan?
This electromagnetic field extends
about six inches around the phone.
It enters the body
causing brain tumours,
cancer and male infertility.
Is everything OK?
It's Siobhan, my wife.
Has anyone seen my wife?
- Did you look in the house?
He said she was sick.
She can't have gone far.
The police!
How can I get the police?
You'll need to go up there
to the lighthouse to see the Chief.
The Chief will know what to do.
Take the back road.
- No, go the bog road.
- Come on. I'll show you the way.
Sorry. I'm looking for the Chief.
Timber house overlooking the bay?
We weren't properly
introduced earlier. Labhaoise.
I think I'm at the wrong house.
No, you're in the right place.
If you're looking for the police,
I'm as good as you're
going to get on this island.
Come on.
I'm a blow-in too,
you know. 23 years.
My wife is missing! And my son!
OK, take your time.
I came home and she wasn't there.
The baby's gone.
Maybe she left you a note
but you didn't see it.
Her car is gone.
I heard you say earlier
that she was sick.
If she's sick and has a baby,
she won't have gone far.
I'm worried she may have
done something stupid.
To herself or the child?
I don't know.
Now, let's not panic just yet, eh?
Come in. I'll put the kettle on.
Unless there's reason to believe
something untoward
happened to your wife,
we can't report her as missing
until 48 hours have passed.
But I'm sure she will
turn up before that.
I'm sorry to ask you this,
but I have to.
Did you fall out? A fight, maybe?
No, we didn't.
Why did you think
she might hurt herself?
She's been, depressed,
Post-natal depression?
I don't know. She didn't
go to the doctor about it.
- But you're worried.
- Yes.
Very worried.
Well, we'll get a sense
of her state of mind
when we look at the house.
Drink your tea.
We'll do a quick circuit
of the island on the way.
Is this where the car was?
The car ferry only
comes on Wednesdays,
so her car's still on the island.
Yes, but where?
Do you have a boat down there?
Yes, it's still there.
Can she handle a boat?
Yes, but she clearly didn't take it.
I need to talk to Macdara.
He'll know who has
come on or off the island.
But he doesn't carry cars.
The car is on the island somewhere,
but that doesn't mean your wife is.
Will we look inside?
She rarely went out.
Has she no friends in the area?
Our home is in Dublin.
She loves the peace and quiet here.
Siobhan?
- She's beautiful.
- Thank you.
- And the baby.
- How old is he now?
- 11 months.
He's gorgeous.
Has she any family?
Her mother and one brother.
- Are they close?
- No. They are no longer in touch.
That must be tough for her.
Look, I don't mean to be rude,
but can we get back to..!
I don't want to miss something simple
and have you panicking over nothing.
It's a lovely house. Very tidy.
Let me help you.
Is the baby sick too?
Siobhan thought he had
a bit of a temperature.
And this is where you last saw her?
- In this room?
- Yes.
- What time?
- 8:30 or 9:00.
That gives us
a large window to cover.
I called her later.
And how was she then?
She didn't answer. I left a message.
It'll be on the machine.
Your wife wouldn't have
let the baby supplies
run this short, would she?
No. I don't think so.
You've nothing to worry about, then.
She's taking good care
of the little man.
- Did you open that window?
- No.
Your wife has
a good eye for curtains alright.
Beautiful.
Where can we hear
these phone messages?
In my office.
Very interesting.
Just like in the movies.
Is that a map of one of your crimes?
One of the crimes
I'm investigating, yes.
You must be very clever.
Lovely pins and all.
Should we be talking to the police?
- I am the police, my dear.
- On the mainland I mean.
Do you have any reason
to think she's on the mainland?
No.
Flashing lights.
How do you play it?
He's gone.
Ghost in the machine?
Hi, love. You in the bath?
My meeting is over but Macdara
won't be back until midday,
so I'll have to wait until then.
I'll do a few messages. Bye, pet.
- A meeting?
- I was meeting a source.
I just found out this morning
that he wanted to meet.
When I get the call I have
to go, in case they get cold feet.
Can't depend on criminals these days!
He did it!
I'm only joking. I don't know.
That one's Bernie Murphy though.
I knew his father,
from my Dublin days.
I suppose you come across some
strange cases in your game.
I'm sure they don't like you
sticking your nose
into their business.
It's mostly done undercover.
But they're
a clever lot these criminals.
Does anyone have
a grudge against you?
- What?
- Do you have any enemies?
Siobhan has no enemies.
Everyone loves her.
I meant you.
Do you have any enemies?
I, I don't know.
Sometimes women
just need a bit of head space.
I'll check in with Macdara
and organise
a search party to find this car.
I heard there was a storm on the way?
Yes. Tomorrow, they say.
Now, I'll be back.
In the meantime, don't go anywhere,
in case they come back, or call.
One more thing before I go. This?
Oh, that's the utility room.
Does your wife spend
much time in there?
I'd better take a wee look in there.
Just to cover all bases.
Of course.
- Yes?
Labhaoise?
- Was it her?
- They hung up before I answered.
Tell me: why do you have
two separate phone lines?
I have a dedicated line for my work,
in case I need to use the dial-up.
Of course. Thank you.
What happened earlier?
Everyone was waiting at the harbour.
There's a problem with the boat.
The engine is giving me trouble.
Do you know the Mac Murchadhas
up at Coughlan Bay?
No, not really.
They have their own boat, I think.
They bring over their own
supplies and their own post.
Do you not do odd-jobs
up at their house?
I've never been near their house.
Well, the wife and child are missing.
You didn't take them
over to the mainland?
No.
I took the husband over this morning,
which was strange, then, this.
I'm gathering a search party.
Will you join us?
Of course. I'll have to
head home first.
We'll start at the community hall,
while we still have daylight.
We may need your boat
as well, once it's fixed.
Write your number down for me.
Lovely.
Great.
- I'd better get back to..!
- Of course.
Macdara isn't here?
Haven't seen hide nor hair of him.
There's a storm on the way.
I can feel it in my fillings.
Maybe you're just talking too much!
Ten more minutes!
It'll soon be dark.
We'll have to leave
it until daylight.
No! We can't stop!
We can't leave him
outside by himself!
Hey, there's a car here!
Is that her car?
Yes, that's Siobhan's car.
Everybody wait here.
Are you OK?
Can I call anyone for you?
A friend or relative maybe?
No. I don't want to talk
to anyone right now.
Is he gone?
He's gone.
Yeah?
Where is he?
Does he have Oisin?
We were supposed to find Oisin.
- He hasn't shown up yet.
- What?
- Where the fuck is he?
- I don't know.
I was waiting out there
for him for hours.
If Siobhan's body isn't that late,
then why is my son not safe in his cot?
Maybe Bernie couldn't wait any longer.
You said this guy was reliable.
He is.
Not if he's double-crossed us?
What about Bernie fucking Murphy?
What do you not understand?
Life insurance doesn't pay
out if there's nobody.
Bernie must have someone
else on the island.
Are you saying Bernie
Murphy has my son?
I don't know.
Fuck!
Why is this taking so long?
Let them do their work.
We're not far from my house.
You need a break.
Is there anything
you want to tell me?
Excuse me?
Given the nature of your work,
you're involved
in some serious stuff.
Do you think
any of your investigations
caught up with you?
You mean like a ransom?
That would be serious.
And there are things we can do.
They wouldn't risk it.
If they know me, they know
that I have names and details.
And that's exactly why
they would come after you.
When someone is kidnapped,
don't they usually leave a note?
No offence, but you're
not making any sense.
Did you find out
who called you yesterday?
- No. It doesn't matter.
- It doesn't matter?
They didn't call back.
Labhaoise!
Labhaoise! We found a body!
Stay here please.
Peadar, are those
illegal fishing nets?
Ah come on, Labhaoise,
I'm trying to do my best here.
- Who is it?
- I don't know. I didn't look.
Do you recognise him?
Take a good look at him.
No, I've never seen him before.
OK.
Open the other side.
OK.
Cover him up.
Leave those. That's evidence now.
Are you OK to go home by yourself?
Yes. I'm fine.
Yeah?
They just pulled Aidan's
body out of the water.
- Fuck.
- Fuck is right.
- This is serious.
- Yes, this is serious.
At least we know he didn't
double-cross us now.
Bernie must have
someone on the island.
What do you mean,
he has someone on the island?
Where's my fucking son?
I don't know.
Where's my fucking son, Paddy?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Well, fucking find out.
I'm not asking Bernie.
Are you more scared of Bernie or me?
Bernie. It's his move.
If so much as a hair on the
head of that child is harmed
I'll kill you my fucking self.
Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Leisha!
You enjoying life off the grid?
Still a maverick,
working against the system?
It's called retirement, son.
Or it would be, if you lot would send
over some youngster to fill my boots.
Listen, Leisha,
we've a lot on down here.
A lot of work to do.
I don't really have time for a chat.
What do you need?
I need a forensics team.
Some medics and a few of your best men
on the island as soon as possible.
Maybe send some sniffer dogs too.
And what's all this?
A stolen lawn mower?
Somebody messing with
Padder's lobster cages again?
Murder. Possibly plural.
Certainly one murder
and two missing people.
And they are pots, not cages.
Hello?
It's me.
Hi.
Leisha.
I was just wondering
if you needed anything?
I've some homemade soup here. I made
it myself with a good shin bone.
No, I don't want any.
- I'm fine.
- Are you, though?
No. I've had better days.
I understand.
You can leave it at the door.
I'm a bit upset.
Listen, I hope you don't mind,
but I really need the bathroom.
I'm not as young as I used
to be and it's a bit of a hike
over those hills back to my house.
I'll only be two seconds.
- Let me help you here.
- You're OK.
Just leave it.
Please.
It's a bit chilly in here.
Would you not put
the heating on at least?
I hadn't noticed.
I'll put it on for you on my way out.
That's a big job
you're doing on that boat.
Planning on going somewhere?
Not with the storm coming in.
No.
Is there something stuck there?
There's all sorts of crap
in the sea these days.
I can see that.
You don't like him much, do you?
Who's this?
The guy from Dublin.
But his wife is lovely.
And pretty.
I haven't had much to do with her.
I see.
Have you ever had
a dead body on your boat?
We'll need to ship the one
we found to the mainland
for a post mortem at some point.
Just checking you'd be OK with that?
- Of course.
- Lovely.
Macdara, are you there?
I know what's going on.
Open the door.
Are you going to leave me out here?
It's about to pour rain.
- Are you the policewoman?
- Yes, love.
I didn't want to kill him.
Will we go inside?
I'm not crazy.
No.
He sent a man to murder me.
What else could I do?
Tell me everything.
OK.
He got up so early that morning
that I knew he was up to something.
Call it intuition,
but there was something different.
He thinks he's smarter
than everyone else.
He wanted everyone
to think I was crazy.
He wanted me to think I was crazy.
Morning, love.
I started noticing small things.
My house keys would be
in the wrong place,
my jewellery would be
in the wrong drawer.
Shampoo in the fridge?
I had no idea what was going on.
I couldn't trust my own thoughts.
saying I forgot to feed him
or forgot to change him,
that's when I got
suspicious about him.
Open up for Mammy, good boy.
having fits, but I never saw them.
I know my own son.
So, it came down to who I believed,
him or me.
It's only me.
How is he today?
How did that happen?
Hold on!
This had been happening for months.
I couldn't work out
what was true any longer.
It felt like I was sleepwalking.
I had to wake up.
Hey, be careful!
I'll get it.
Get a plaster.
I'll get it. Get that plaster.
It was now or never.
Are you OK, love?
I had to find out.
- Did you get my message?
- No, I haven't been getting any texts.
There's no mobile reception
on this bloody island.
I just got back to land.
He's on his own now.
We can't afford to lose that source.
Everything is in place,
as we discussed.
Right. Well, I suppose I'll
have to come to the mainland.
Change of plans, love!
He'll have reached shore by now. You
need to get out of there immediately.
No, it's really not a great time.
Who gives a fuck if she's not well?
Yes, I know, I know.
Make sure you're gone by
the time he gets there.
- Remember what I told you.
- He knows.
You'll deal with her in the house,
but they'll find her body in the lake.
The baby will be in his cot.
That's right. See him in
the pub within the hour.
Yeah, that sounds like
the only thing to do.
Don't forget to set the keys for him.
Is that pan OK, love?
Okay, I'll come, but it's just there.
Go now.
Siobhan?
Siobhan, you can't leave
the pan on the hob
Everything will be OK.
The broadcaster wouldn't be happy.
I've done so much work
for this programme.
Everything is falling into place.
Don't worry.
I'll take the ferry over.
I'll leave our boat here,
just in case, but it'll be fine.
The ferry doesn't leave until ten.
I saw Macdara on the beach.
I might be able to convince
him to leave earlier.
The sooner I leave,
the sooner it'll be done.
Love?
Macdara!
He'll leave now,
if I give him a lift to the pier.
There is no shortage
of oddballs on this island,
but he is definitely the weirdest.
Bye bye, my handsome little man.
I'll see you later.
Take care of your poor Mammy.
- A couple of hours. That's all.
- OK.
I'll call to make sure
everything's alright.
- Stay near the phone.
- Where else would I go?
I'm just going to set
you down for one second.
Are you ready?
Are you ready? Good boy!
We'll leave now.
Fuck, where is it?
OK, we're going now.
Are you all right now?
- I'm fine.
- Message saved.
And Macdara?
I met him on the beach.
I'd often go for a walk there,
and he saw me crying one day.
He asked me if I was alright.
It had been a long time
since anyone had asked me that.
I started visiting him,
Not like that, we're just friends.
But even that would have
Did he help you clean up too?
We didn't know what to do.
Stick to their plan, I suppose.
He wouldn't have let me leave.
As long as he thought
I was missing, or dead.
I'd go into hiding,
and we'd take it from there.
I haven't seen
my family in two years.
I would always have an excuse.
I wasn't at my aunt's funeral.
That really upset my mother.
She wasn't angry.
I would have preferred that.
I was ready for her anger.
She was just sad.
I told her I'd crashed the car
and wasn't able to travel.
Imagine!
Lying to my own mother.
How much did you know?
Only bits.
Enough to see a picture
that didn't make sense.
I don't know.
We lost the house in Dublin, but
he said he was taking care of it.
Life insurance.
Will I go to prison?
Because I killed a man?
There isn't a jury in the country
that would convict you.
You did what you
had to do to protect your child.
I'm retiring,
but when the weather
settles, they'll come for him.
That man would never let me be.
He'd be there, wherever I went.
That storm's getting worse.
I hope he doesn't try
to leave the island tonight.
He'd never reach the mainland.
The poor baby.
He won't settle without his Teddy.
Of course.
Now, I need to find Macdara.
I'll need his boat tomorrow
when the storm passes.
You'll find him at the jetty.
I know what you did. I'm in Dublin.
Be here in six hours or
I'm telling the police everything.
Attempted murder.
Bernie Murphy. Everything.
I'll be outside the old house.
Macdara!
You have to take me across.
I said, you have to take me across.
I can't in this weather.
You have to take me across, now!
The boat isn't seaworthy.
What do you want?
This?
Is this what you want!?
I'm not taking you anywhere.
- Give me the keys!
- No.
Give me the fucking keys!
Stop it!
Here you go!
Do you know what you're doing?
You have no fucking idea, do you?
Will he make it?
The boat will never hold out.
I've never seen you
throw a fight, Macdara.
Let's go back to my place
and I'll clean you up.
I've hot soup on the stove.
I'll give you some to take home.
Thank you.
I'm surprised at you
being out on a night like that.
I had a few things to pick up.
I called in to your house earlier.
How did you think
that was going to work?
She needed help.
Some men aren't fit to be fathers.
You didn't turn out too bad.
Here's a good big thermos.
Family size.
Is that what you would call it?
We're in the eye of the storm.
The coast guard will
never reach him in that swell.
Still, you better call them.
I know what you did. I'm in Dublin.
Be here in six...!
Message deleted. Next message.
Received today at 12.45 pm.
disturbing me when I'm on holiday?
I don't know anything
about your fucking son.
So sort it out amongst yourselves.
I strongly recommend that
you repay that money at all.
If not...
I'd be worried someone will come
to that island and visit your son.
Lovely.
