Do you mind if we call in at
the festival?
There's something I don't
want to miss.
OK.
This won't take long.
You're not in a rush, are you, Lilo?
Er, not really.
It's Leila.
How are you doing? All right?
Bout ye, folks!
Hey, bout ye, Clint!
You coming to the hooley tomorrow,
Barry? Last night of the festival.
I wouldn't miss it, Nicole.
It's a race?
Aye. Nutters.
Making eejits of themselves.
Get into line, now!
Here, you want to watch that one.
On your marks. Get set
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa.
You in the mauve one-piece,
back behind the line.
Listen for the whistle.
WHISTLE BLOWS
CROWD CHEER
Go on!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUE
Yes! Ha-ha!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUE
Yes!
Dad! There you go. Ah, cheers. No
worries. Thank you.
Hey, there. Leila.
Ah.
Detective Constable Leila Hussain?
Inspector Finn O'Hare.
We spoke earlier.
We did. Good to meet you.
How's the water? The water's Baltic.
But we're made of strong stuff here.
Because your transfer was rushed,
I've organised you some
temporary accommodation.
Actually, I found somewhere online.
Oh.Run by a local lady who seems
very friendly, so
Well, it's best if it's somewhere
off-radar, so to speak, because,
you know, we need to keep a low
profile. So I'd-I'd need to know
Of course. Port Devine B&B.
Ah.
Will I be all right there?
Oh, you'll be all right.
You're just moving in with
the nosiest woman in Port Devine.
Who you calling nosey?
Ma.
Well done in the race.
Still got it in you.
Thanks, Ma.
You'll be Leila?
Concepta Philomena O'Hare.
Welcome to Port Devine.
Leila's going to be working
with us for a while, Ma.
Oh, is she now?
CAR HORN BEEPS
My case is still in his car!
Don't you worry. He's a holy terror,
but we'll track him down.
So, you've met Concepta.
Or The Concept, as she's formally
known.
Watch it! Come on in, love.
I'll just get your bag from
the car.
Thanks.
HE MOUTHS
When I read your name, I thought to
myself, Sir Ben Kingsley.
He was majestic in that role.
He never looked better than in that
loincloth.
Ah, Gandhi. Great film.
But I'm not Indian,
I'm Nottingham born and bred.
My parents were born in Pakistan.
But you know, you're technically
right, before Partition,
when they made the border,
it was all India then.
How do you mean?Well, the Muslim
families, like my grandparents,
had to flee into newly-created
Pakistan.
It's pretty complicated.
Sounds rather familiar.
Come on into the kitchen.
I've got cream puffs to go
with your tea.
Are they going to eat me, Abu?
KNOCK ON DOOR
How are you getting on in here?
Are you warm enough?
I am.
Now, I've been on the internet.
You'll want to know where Mecca is.
If you look out that window,
towards the sea,
that's on your way
Actually, I'm not devout,
so I won't be bothering.
Oh.I really appreciate the thought,
though.
Anyhoo, what I didn't ask you over
the phone was,
what brings you to Port Devine?
DISTANT FIZZING
What was that? That's a flare, gone
off in the harbour.
A boat must be in trouble.I'll take
a mosey down there.
You don't know who you'll meet at
this hour.
I'm a police officer.
Thanks for everything.
Right, fellas. Just keep back,
please, yeah? Thanks, guys.
Just stay back. Get on home. That's
fine. Nothing to see. Thank you.
Need any help?
Leila Hussain,
new detective constable.
Right. PC Callum McCarthy.
So, you're local?
No. Belfast, born and bred.
Yeah, it's a bit of a backwater
here, to be honest.
Come the weekends, if I'm not
working, I'm outta here.
If you ever need a spin down
to the Big City,
I'll show you around.
Awesome craic, like.
What's happened here then?
Oh, yeah. Man overboard.
Lifeguard'sbringing him in now.
You OK there, mate?
Just about.
Can you tell us what happened?
A couple of maniacs got onto
my boat.
I tried to tackle them,
they pushed me in.
So what were they after?
There's not much on it,
unless they wanted the boat itself.
HE COUGHS
So, uh,
checked out The Commodore yet?
You should come down tomorrow,
last night of the festival.
Be powerful good craic.
OK. Good to know.
I'll leave you to it. Night.
Night.
Guess who I met last night?
The new detective constable, Leila.
Oh! She's very nice. We got on
extremely well.
Did you now?
Showed her the ropes with
the whole maritime policing thing.
She was right across
the incident, which I appreciated.
Because I like strong women.
Oh, she's a strong woman,
is she? Super.
We can ball-break together then.
DOOR OPENS
Hi, there. Hi.
Leila. Come in.
I believe you met Callum
last night.
And this is Marlene. What Marlene
doesn't know about Port Devine
you could write on the corner of a
postage stamp.
How are ya?I hope I don't drive you
mad with questions.
So, um, what brings you over here?
Leila
..this is your desk right there.
Any follow-up required on that
harbour incident last night?
It's all done and dusted.
I had a word with your man
Ryan Reilly,
once the ambulance folk had checked
him over.
He reckons he just got confused
and there probably wasn't anyone
else involved.
Bit of a U-turn, isn't it?
When I was there,
he was saying he was pushed in,
which could be GBH,
worst case, attempted murder.
Shall we?
WHISPERS: I don't think it works.
QUIETLY: Oh, it does, cub.
MUFFLED VOICES
So he hired her, then?
Didn't you say there's been no CID
for donkeys?
Exactly.
And she lands in, out of the blue,
and Finn's all man of mystery.
That's what I was thinking.
A woman of her calibre, like.
And you're all interested.
No, I am not. Mm-hm.
Go, go, go!
SHE CLEARS HER THROA
Callum, could you dig out some
cold case files?
Leila can get started on those.
What I'm keen to do is roll my
sleeves up, dive in.
Ah, sure, there's loads of time
for diving in.
Let's crack on with those cold case
files first, yeah?
Thanks, Leila.
There's more? Oh, yeah. Years'
worth.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Marlene?
Hello, again.
You're here. The bad penny.
What's up?
Me rib's been stolen.
Your rib?
Yeah, it's a It's a boat.
Like a big dinghy.
Went down to the harbour this
morning, completely vanished.
Here Callum,
you need to write this down.
Right, no, the, the owner's here.
Rib's been spotted abandoned
on the coast road.
Man overboard and
a boat stolen from the same harbour.
Doesn't sound like a coincidence.
Maybe.
See, that was me, 20 years ago,
making the connections no-one
else saw.
So, Barry was Inspector in
the Royal Ulster Constabulary,
which is the old police force here.
I'll do everything I can
to catch the thief
and get your boat back to you.
I've every faith in you,
wee girl. Oh, yes.
See ya.
He's a bit of a one, isn't he?
Uncle Barry?
Yeah, I suppose he is.
Callum, shall we head down to the
crime scene, then?
DOOR CLOSES
Well, there's your rogue flare.
Better get CSI down.
HE SCOFFS
What, to Port Devine?
Whoever stole the rib most probably
had a role in the Ryan incident.
They could have just seen him in
the water
and decided to let off the flare.
Sure. But more likely,
they witnessed him being pushed in,
or pushed him in themselves.
Right there, lad? Right, Callum?
My main man.
What are you up to there?
I'm justgetting this baby back to
base.
This your boat, is it?
Sure is.
I forgot where I left it!
Shay, this is Leila,
our new colleague, from England.
Hi, Shay. It's funny, that,
because this boat was reported
stolen by its owner,
and that wasn't you.
OK, like, you know, it's not
"technically" mine!
Um, Leila,
if Shay's dropping it back,
maybe we can just let this one go?
Barry didn't say anything about
loaning it to anyone.
Look, everyone knows I'm allowed in
it.
What's that in your hand?
Marker pen. See, I was
going to write "Shay" on
the side in big, black letters.
You know, so everyone knows I'm
allowed in it.
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of theft.
You do not have to say anything
Go on, Callum,
tell her to relax her cacks.
..it may harm your defence if
Look, I know the drill, missus.
My dad's filled me in.
Who's your dad, then?
Inspector Finn O'Hare.
Well, you'll be seeing him in
a minute.
Leila, um apprehended Shay at the
rib.
His nan's coming in to be the
appropriate adult.
Can I have a wee word, Leila?
Callum, want to take down a few
details for Shay before we start?
Yeah.
You've arrested him?
I don't know what
the protocol is over the water
..but this wee lad is
the Inspector's son.
So maybe a ticking-off, send him on
his way, wouldn't
..wouldn't that be
the best way forward?
On top of theft,
we're talking about him being
a potential witness to
a serious assault,
a man pushed off a boat.
A word in Uncle Barry's ear
and this all goes away.
What all goes away?
Uh, boss
..Shay's in The Interview Room.
What?I arrested him for the theft
of Barry's rib.
You did?I didn't think you'd want
me to treat him
in any way different, Sir
No, I wouldn't.
You're 100% right about that.
Is my nan here yet?
Hi, Dad.
We'll talk about this
tonight, Shay.
Nanny, it's terrible.
I mean, she's arrested me,
I was doing nothing wrong.
I find out anything different, I'll
warm your bum for you.
Barry did say I could go out in
the boat.
Shay, I've checked with Barry.
He's very clear you had no
such permission.
Ah, sure, that doddery old sod can't
remember what day it is!
Watch it, cheeky wee article!
He's given me the keys loads
of times.
Did he give you
the keys last night?
No, I, erm
I got them from Clint's cupboard,
at the pub.
Look, I've told yous, I wasn't
in the harbour
when all this hoo-ha was going on
and I don't know nothing about no
"man overboard" business.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Erm, this is for you.
Sorry it took me a while.
Timestamped 2130 hours.
Thanks.
CCTV footage from
the harbour last night.
This what you call being on your
own, is it?
Who's she? Eh, just some girl.
I don't, don't remember her name.
Can you tell us what you saw,
from the beginning?
We were just going round
the harbour.
We heard shouting and looked over
and saw a man go in off his
boat.
Look, I let off the flare
and all that.
But I didn't want to get
caught, y'know, in the rib.
So we scarpered.
And that's it, all right?
Honest.
DOOR OPENS
Hi, Dad.
Go straight home, Shay.
I'll be back at six.
Thanks, Ma.
He's a not a bad lad, really.
Must have been hard on him, his mum
careering off like that.
See you later.
I don't think that was
the full picture.
I think Shay's covering
for that girl.
Did you recognise her?
Nope. But someone in
The Commodore will.
What do you reckon?
Yeah, that's gorgeous.
Ooh, a man in uniform!
You're making my day, Callum.
Right, Nicole. Hi, Clint.
All right, Callum?
Is this the new lady
detective, then?
Detective Constable Leila Hussain.
That an English accent I hear?
Delighted to meet you, Leila.
I'm Nicole Devine.
Yes, as in Port Devine.
Ah, is that a coincidence, or?
Well, actually,
when my great, great,
great grandfather Guthrie Devine
settled here,
he was such a character,
they renamed the town after him.
Devines have lived here ever since.
Where are you from?
Nottingham,
though I'm not called
Leila Nottingham, unfortunately.
Oh, so, you must be forever popping
down to London.
Oh, no, only the once.
There's enough buzz in Nottingham
to keep me going.
Oh, I know what you mean.
When I lived in London,
it was all go.
I was up and down the Shard like
a yo-yo.
Would you let them get on
with their jobs?
How can we help you, Leila?
Shay O'Hare took out
Barry Pettigrew's rib last night.
He said he took the key from your
cupboard yesterday.
Right, I'll have it out with him.
He usually helps me
with deliveries.
I'm good mates with his da'.
Did you see who he was
with last night?
What, you mean the wee girl
he was snogging the face off
in the corridor? Sam Hunter.
Know where we'd find her?
Her ma' and da' have
a holiday home up the coast road.
Rossmore I think
the house is called.
Leading a wee innocent lad astray.
Shay. Innocent? Come on.
Things haven't been easy for him.
Since his mum got caught with
the PE Teacher and bolted,
Finn at work, all the time.
It's no wonder Shay's running amok.
It's all very recent, you know?
Yeah.
Boss?
Marlene?
About the new detectives position
..it's come a bit out of the blue,
hasn't it?
I mean, Leila's pitched up kind of
out of nowhere.
The post has come about in
a slightly roundabout way.
An opportunity came up.
A few things fell into place.
Hmm, it's also interesting,
because she's moved over here,
quite quickly,
hasn't she?
You would've thought with the
I really wouldn't over-think it.
No, but
Cos a fresh perspective,
sure, keeps us all on our toes, eh?
Yeah, sure.
Bit of a blow out here, then,
last night?
Takovka vodka - I don't know
that one.
A friend brought it over,
sort of celebrating
GROANING
That doesn't sound good.
I'll go take a look.
You were with Shay O'Hare
last night?
Saw him in the pub. Why do you ask?
Were you out on a boat with him?
Er, well, the Commodore was packed
and we just wanted
a bit of privacy?
Leila!
She's seriously unwell.
Callum, call an ambulance.
Uniform, uniform,
ambulance required urgently.
Rossmore House.
Molly.
Your friend is seriously ill.
Any information you have about this
might help.
I really don't know anything.
Sam, there's an opportunity here
to do the right thing.
It might make things better
down the line.
The vodka came off a boat out in
the harbour.
I was only going to get one bottle,
y'know, to drink ourselves
..but Shay had other ideas.
If there's a lovelier spot on
God's Green Earth,
I never heard tell of it.
Me neither.
You heading somewhere?
No, no. Just this,
it's straight out of the oven and
That's not the infamous
O'Hare Barmbrack,
is it? The one that no non-O'Hare's
ever to get
the recipe of, or even taste?
Well, normally, but I thought just,
you were firing around,
here, there and everywhere,
you'd have built up an appetite.
Shay. He's only a wee lad really.
Are you going to have
him prosecuted?
What, Shay?
I wouldn't give our Marlene
the hassle of the admin.
The boat's back, no harm done.
Right.
Well?
Oh, yes.
That is something else.
And to think that you lot have been
sitting on that for generations.
Which side of the family
do you think that criminal streak
originates from?
Shay's mum's side, probably?
Anyhow, the police will decide
what happens to Shay.
Hey, I was only joking. Leave that
here. Go on with you.
Oh, for goodness' sake!
There was a case a couple
of weeks ago
..two teenagers up the coast blinded
by imported illegal vodka.
I think it's the same stuff that
guy in
the Commodore was fiddling about
with when we came in.
You mean Clint?It's a bit of
a coincidence there's counterfeit
vodka around
and he's got a two-for-one offer on.
Yeah, but Clint will be cashing in
cos of the festival.
I haven't heard any complaints about
the vodka being served in
the Commodore?
Hm. But there wouldn't be,
if he was watering it down.
Y'all right, mate?
That sign
..two-for-one vodka.
How do you make that work,
like, business wise?
Ah, you know how it is,
the suppliers have a surplus and
they make it worth your while, so
A local girl was drinking some
illegal vodka last night,
ended up in hospital,
seriously ill, and there may well be
more cases.
Vodka she bought from here? No.
But if I find out someone's
making it worth your while
No, no, no!
Ah, listen, Finn,
I didn't mean Clint,
if you've been receiving
counterfeit vodka
..I'll close you down
like that, mate.
The supplier's name is
Ryan O'Rooney.
Thank you.
Sir, it's obvious,
the vodka came from
Ryan Reilly's boat.
Sam and Shay were on the rib.
One of them talked
the other one into stealing
the vodka. It's Ryan we're after.
He's not Ryan Reilly.
He's Ryan O'Rooney.
He gave us a false name.
I've just run a background check.
He has a fairly serious
criminal history,
including assault and drug supply.
Do we know what Ryan's boat
was called?
Sam doesn't remember.
We need to ask Shay.
RINGING TONE
Does he normally pick up?
He's a teenager.
He's glued to the darn thing.
I'm sorry, but the person
you've called
Shay?
Shay!
Son.
Leila. Up here, Leila.
Shay.
Shay. Come on, son.
Shay, come on, come on, lad.
Shay, Shay?
Shay, come on.
He's breathing.
It's the same vodka.
What were you thinking, son?
Oh, I, I'm going to be sick.
Here you go, here you go.
Come on, up there.
HE VOMITS
You're all right, kid,
you're all right.
Oh, come here, come here,
come here, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Ah, good lad, good lad.
Sorry. That's all right, mate,
that's OK.
I heard, erm, down the Commodore
..shipments of this cheap booze
brought in by this Ryan guy.
I kind of told Sam I could get
vodka. You know, like a bottle.
I don't even know why. I was just
trying to show off.
Listen, it happens, kid.
I was going to take just the one,
but Sam said
.."We might as well take a crate."
How did Ryan end up in the water?
He came up on deck. I mean,
he went ballistic,
started to attack Sam,
so I pushed him off her.
I had to,
he was really going to hurt her.
Do you remember the name of
the boat?
Osprey One.
That's really helpful, Shay.
I've a warrant to search the boat.
We just have to find it now.
So, Shay?
We need to decide what action
to take.
I guess we have no choice
but to prosecute him,
but it's a shame to tarnish him
with a criminal record.
Yeah, Shay is just a wee lad,
regardless of who his dad is
Yeah, a big stupid eejit of
a wee lad.
But we can't bend the rules for
the inspector's son.
Well, over here, we, uh,
we don't have to have
a one-size-fits-all approach.
And he did save Ryan's life by
putting up the flare.
So would you be comfortable about
him getting off with
an informed warning?
I'd be more than comfortable. OK.
Coastguard has sighted the Osprey
One. It's in the harbour.
Marlene, Callum,
you take the north side,
we'll cover the south. OK?
You OK?
Fine.
Leila, hold on a minute.
What the hell's she doing?
Leila, stop.You're under arrest
What are you talking about?
..on suspicion of supply
of counterfeit alcohol
and evasion of duty.
Get off my boat now.
Ryan Put the gun down now.
Ryan!
Gun's clear.
Right, let's get you
out of here, Ryan.
That could've been fatal.
What?
Yous both could've been shot.
Then where would we be?
You need to get your act together.
I've really upset her.
Marlene will get over it.
Just risk assess first and then go
in, not the other way round.
Sir, I saw the chance.
I had to act.
We've got slightly different rules
over here.
We carry guns because
guns are more readily available.
Marlene was right.
A situation like that
could turn fatal.
I've got to protect you,
so just let me do my job.
The lone wolf routine
stops now, OK?
Which room did she put you in?
The big one at the front.
That's my old room.Is it? Yeah.
Leila, it's great that we got Ryan
and that's down to you.
We'd be nowhere without
Shay's statement.
It's just me and him
and at the minute and
..with all the work stuff
sometimes I get a bit distracted.
Understandable.
He needed strong boundaries,
discipline and I wasn't watching
closely enough.
You're his parent, not his manager.
I know there's been a lot
of change
..and I'm sure you're missing
your mum.
I've no-one to blame but myself.
What'd you mean?
She wouldn't have gone if it wasn't
for me.
How did you get to that conclusion?
Cos I told Nanny what Mum did.
She had a go at Mum and,
and Mum thought,
y'know, she had to choose.
That break up was
a long time coming.
Your mother leaving has got
nothing to do with you.
None of that is your fault.
OK?
Oh, man,
it's really hard
to get it all right.
You're fine, Dad.
You do get it right.
I mean, there's a strong system.
Really? After today, I'm not sure
the system's working, mate.
It was a dopey thing to do,
drinking that vodka.
I really didn't mean to scare you.
I know that.
I was so frightened when you found
out about the boat, like
I just thought I'd let
you down so much you wouldn't
Hey, I do, I do.
I always will.
Ah, here she is. Leila, welcome
to the first Annual Port Devine
Festival Hooley.
And The Concept's in the house.
You going to give us
a song tonight?
Who knows what the night will hold?
Barry, your fancy woman's here.
MUSIC: "Clap Your Hands"
by Johnny Brady
Come on, Leila.
Want to dance?
Totally out of puff.
I'm going to sit this one out if
you don't mind.
No bother.
Don't waste your time looking.
The vodka went down the plug hole.
Good.
Though I wouldn't fancy being in
your shoes when her ladyship finds
out what you've been up to.
C'mon, she's bound to.
Look who she's dancing with.
Nicole's going to blow a gasket.
I need to do something, Finn.
Like what?
You going to bust in there
and carry her off Tarzan style?
He was preyed upon.
Some dodgy guy with knock-off
vodka, pretending it was legit.
He's a chancer, isn't he?
You think I'm mad? I mean
..should I dump him?
Look, let's face it,
Clint comes from
a long line of wrong 'uns,
and his own track record isn't
exactly squeaky clean, is it?
Nicole, you've You've one life
and you have to make a decision.
Right, it's time to present
the trophy
to the winner of the Harbour Dash.
Ladies and gentlemen,
put your hands together
for Inspector Finn O'Hare!
Well done, mate.
I have a question to ask
a very special lady here tonight.
Nicole
..I'm the luckiest guy in
Port Devine.
Will you do me the honour
of becoming Mrs Clint Dunwoody?
Will you marry me?
OK, I will!
I need a drink.
Hey.Well, we're not the only ones
who've forgiven him. Indeed.
Thanks, for, you know,
having me here.
The people looking
for you are highly dangerous,
so it's vital that we keep this
under wraps.
Agreed. But I must admit,
it's tough,
having to lie to people
..especially your colleagues.
Do I need to do anything
about Marlene?
She has been asking questions.
I just can't believe it.
It's such a disaster.
Nicole's being taken for
a ride by that big eejit.
You think she's selling
herself short?
Sounds like you're speaking from
experience, Leila.
There was someone, but
I broke it off.
Turned out he wasn't as great as
I thought.
Is that why you're over here?
Mm-hm. Fresh start and everything.
Sorry, if you don't mind me asking,
what sort of not great?
Well, you know, jealous type
..I don't want to bore you.
If her relationship ended
and she's starting afresh here,
that's completely logical.
She just told us a pack of
lies. What?
She bought it. Good.
The last person you want sticking
their nose in is Marlene.
I know a lie when I hear one,
and I'm going to get to
the bottom of it.
You mark my words.
Do you mind if we call in at
the festival?
There's something I don't
want to miss.
OK.
This won't take long.
You're not in a rush, are you, Lilo?
Er, not really.
It's Leila.
How are you doing? All right?
Bout ye, folks!
Hey, bout ye, Clint!
You coming to the hooley tomorrow,
Barry? Last night of the festival.
I wouldn't miss it, Nicole.
It's a race?
Aye. Nutters.
Making eejits of themselves.
Get into line, now!
Here, you want to watch that one.
On your marks. Get set
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa.
You in the mauve one-piece,
back behind the line.
Listen for the whistle.

We spoke earlier.
We did. Good to meet you.
How's the water? The water's Baltic.
But we're made of strong stuff here.
Because your transfer was rushed,
I've organised you some
temporary accommodation.
Actually, I found somewhere online.
Oh.Run by a local lady who seems
very friendly, so
Well, it's best if it's somewhere
off-radar, so to speak, because,
you know, we need to keep a low
profile. So I'd-I'd need to know
Of course. Port Devine B&B.
Ah.
Will I be all right there?
Oh, you'll be all right.
You're just moving in with
the nosiest woman in Port Devine.
Who you calling nosey?
Ma.
Well done in the race.
Still got it in you.
Thanks, Ma.
You'll be Leila?
Concepta Philomena O'Hare.
Welcome to Port Devine.
Leila's going to be working
with us for a while, Ma.
Oh, is she now?
CAR HORN BEEPS
My case is still in his car!
Don't you worry. He's a holy terror,
but we'll track him down.
So, you've met Concepta.
Or The Concept, as she's formally
known.
Watch it! Come on in, love.
I'll just get your bag from
the car.
Thanks.
HE MOUTHS
When I read your name, I thought to
myself, Sir Ben Kingsley.
He was majestic in that role.
He never looked better than in that
loincloth.
Ah, Gandhi. Great film.
But I'm not Indian,
I'm Nottingham born and bred.
My parents were born in Pakistan.
But you know, you're technically
right, before Partition,
when they made the border,
it was all India then.
How do you mean?Well, the Muslim
families, like my grandparents,
had to flee into newly-created
Pakistan.
It's pretty complicated.
Sounds rather familiar.
Come on into the kitchen.
I've got cream puffs to go
with your tea.
Are they going to eat me, Abu?
KNOCK ON DOOR
How are you getting on in here?
Are you warm enough?
I am.
Now, I've been on the internet.
You'll want to know where Mecca is.
If you look out that window,
towards the sea,
that's on your way
Actually, I'm not devout,
so I won't be bothering.
Oh.I really appreciate the thought,
though.
Anyhoo, what I didn't ask you over
the phone was,
what brings you to Port Devine?
DISTANT FIZZING
What was that? That's a flare, gone
off in the harbour.
A boat must be in trouble.I'll take
a mosey down there.
You don't know who you'll meet at
this hour.
I'm a police officer.
Thanks for everything.
Right, fellas. Just keep back,
please, yeah? Thanks, guys.
Just stay back. Get on home. That's
fine. Nothing to see. Thank you.
Need any help?
Leila Hussain,
new detective constable.
Right. PC Callum McCarthy.
So, you're local?
No. Belfast, born and bred.
Yeah, it's a bit of a backwater
here, to be honest.
Come the weekends, if I'm not
working, I'm outta here.
If you ever need a spin down
to the Big City,
I'll show you around.
Awesome craic, like.
What's happened here then?
Oh, yeah. Man overboard.
Lifeguard'sbringing him in now.
You OK there, mate?
Just about.
Can you tell us what happened?
A couple of maniacs got onto
my boat.
I tried to tackle them,
they pushed me in.
So what were they after?
There's not much on it,
unless they wanted the boat itself.
HE COUGHS
So, uh,
checked out The Commodore yet?
You should come down tomorrow,
last night of the festival.
Be powerful good craic.
OK. Good to know.
I'll leave you to it. Night.
Night.
Guess who I met last night?
The new detective constable, Leila.
Oh! She's very nice. We got on
extremely well.
Did you now?
Showed her the ropes with
the whole maritime policing thing.
She was right across
the incident, which I appreciated.
Because I like strong women.
Oh, she's a strong woman,
is she? Super.
We can ball-break together then.
DOOR OPENS
Hi, there. Hi.
Leila. Come in.
I believe you met Callum
last night.
And this is Marlene. What Marlene
doesn't know about Port Devine
you could write on the corner of a
postage stamp.
How are ya?I hope I don't drive you
mad with questions.
So, um, what brings you over here?
Leila
..this is your desk right there.
Any follow-up required on that
harbour incident last night?
It's all done and dusted.
I had a word with your man
Ryan Reilly,
once the ambulance folk had checked
him over.
He reckons he just got confused
and there probably wasn't anyone
else involved.
Bit of a U-turn, isn't it?
When I was there,
he was saying he was pushed in,
which could be GBH,
worst case, attempted murder.
Shall we?
WHISPERS: I don't think it works.
QUIETLY: Oh, it does, cub.
MUFFLED VOICES
So he hired her, then?
Didn't you say there's been no CID
for donkeys?
Exactly.
And she lands in, out of the blue,
and Finn's all man of mystery.
That's what I was thinking.
A woman of her calibre, like.
And you're all interested.
No, I am not. Mm-hm.
Go, go, go!
SHE CLEARS HER THROA
Callum, could you dig out some
cold case files?
Leila can get started on those.
What I'm keen to do is roll my
sleeves up, dive in.
Ah, sure, there's loads of time
for diving in.
Let's crack on with those cold case
files first, yeah?
Thanks, Leila.
There's more? Oh, yeah. Years'
worth.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Marlene?
Hello, again.
You're here. The bad penny.
What's up?
Me rib's been stolen.
Your rib?
Yeah, it's a It's a boat.
Like a big dinghy.
Went down to the harbour this
morning, completely vanished.
Here Callum,
you need to write this down.
Right, no, the, the owner's here.
Rib's been spotted abandoned
on the coast road.
Man overboard and
a boat stolen from the same harbour.
Doesn't sound like a coincidence.
Maybe.
See, that was me, 20 years ago,
making the connections no-one
else saw.
So, Barry was Inspector in
the Royal Ulster Constabulary,
which is the old police force here.
I'll do everything I can
to catch the thief
and get your boat back to you.
I've every faith in you,
wee girl. Oh, yes.
See ya.
He's a bit of a one, isn't he?
Uncle Barry?
Yeah, I suppose he is.
Callum, shall we head down to the
crime scene, then?
DOOR CLOSES
Well, there's your rogue flare.
Better get CSI down.
HE SCOFFS
What, to Port Devine?
Whoever stole the rib most probably
had a role in the Ryan incident.
They could have just seen him in
the water
and decided to let off the flare.
Sure. But more likely,
they witnessed him being pushed in,
or pushed him in themselves.
Right there, lad? Right, Callum?
My main man.
What are you up to there?
I'm justgetting this baby back to
base.
This your boat, is it?
Sure is.
I forgot where I left it!
Shay, this is Leila,
our new colleague, from England.
Hi, Shay. It's funny, that,
because this boat was reported
stolen by its owner,
and that wasn't you.
OK, like, you know, it's not
"technically" mine!
Um, Leila,
if Shay's dropping it back,
maybe we can just let this one go?
Barry didn't say anything about
loaning it to anyone.
Look, everyone knows I'm allowed in
it.
What's that in your hand?
Marker pen. See, I was
going to write "Shay" on
the side in big, black letters.
You know, so everyone knows I'm
allowed in it.
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of theft.
You do not have to say anything
Go on, Callum,
tell her to relax her cacks.
..it may harm your defence if
Look, I know the drill, missus.
My dad's filled me in.
Who's your dad, then?
Inspector Finn O'Hare.
Well, you'll be seeing him in
a minute.
Leila, um apprehended Shay at the
rib.
His nan's coming in to be the
appropriate adult.
Can I have a wee word, Leila?
Callum, want to take down a few
details for Shay before we start?
Yeah.
You've arrested him?
I don't know what
the protocol is over the water
..but this wee lad is
the Inspector's son.
So maybe a ticking-off, send him on
his way, wouldn't
..wouldn't that be
the best way forward?
On top of theft,
we're talking about him being
a potential witness to
a serious assault,
a man pushed off a boat.
A word in Uncle Barry's ear
and this all goes away.
What all goes away?
Uh, boss
..Shay's in The Interview Room.
What?I arrested him for the theft
of Barry's rib.
You did?I didn't think you'd want
me to treat him
in any way different, Sir
No, I wouldn't.
You're 100% right about that.
Is my nan here yet?
Hi, Dad.
We'll talk about this
tonight, Shay.
Nanny, it's terrible.
I mean, she's arrested me,
I was doing nothing wrong.
I find out anything different, I'll
warm your bum for you.
Barry did say I could go out in
the boat.
Shay, I've checked with Barry.
He's very clear you had no
such permission.
Ah, sure, that doddery old sod can't
remember what day it is!
Watch it, cheeky wee article!
He's given me the keys loads
of times.
Did he give you
the keys last night?
No, I, erm
I got them from Clint's cupboard,
at the pub.
Look, I've told yous, I wasn't
in the harbour
when all this hoo-ha was going on
and I don't know nothing about no
"man overboard" business.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Erm, this is for you.
Sorry it took me a while.
Timestamped 2130 hours.
Thanks.
CCTV footage from
the harbour last night.
This what you call being on your
own, is it?
Who's she? Eh, just some girl.
I don't, don't remember her name.
Can you tell us what you saw,
from the beginning?
We were just going round
the harbour.
We heard shouting and looked over
and saw a man go in off his
boat.
Look, I let off the flare
and all that.
But I didn't want to get
caught, y'know, in the rib.
So we scarpered.
And that's it, all right?
Honest.
DOOR OPENS
Hi, Dad.
Go straight home, Shay.
I'll be back at six.
Thanks, Ma.
He's a not a bad lad, really.
Must have been hard on him, his mum
careering off like that.
See you later.
I don't think that was
the full picture.
I think Shay's covering
for that girl.
Did you recognise her?
Nope. But someone in
The Commodore will.
What do you reckon?
Yeah, that's gorgeous.
Ooh, a man in uniform!
You're making my day, Callum.
Right, Nicole. Hi, Clint.
All right, Callum?
Is this the new lady
detective, then?
Detective Constable Leila Hussain.
That an English accent I hear?
Delighted to meet you, Leila.
I'm Nicole Devine.
Yes, as in Port Devine.
Ah, is that a coincidence, or?
Well, actually,
when my great, great,
great grandfather Guthrie Devine
settled here,
he was such a character,
they renamed the town after him.
Devines have lived here ever since.
Where are you from?
Nottingham,
though I'm not called
Leila Nottingham, unfortunately.
Oh, so, you must be forever popping
down to London.
Oh, no, only the once.
There's enough buzz in Nottingham
to keep me going.
Oh, I know what you mean.
When I lived in London,
it was all go.
I was up and down the Shard like
a yo-yo.
Would you let them get on
with their jobs?
How can we help you, Leila?
Shay O'Hare took out
Barry Pettigrew's rib last night.
He said he took the key from your
cupboard yesterday.
Right, I'll have it out with him.
He usually helps me
with deliveries.
I'm good mates with his da'.
Did you see who he was
with last night?
What, you mean the wee girl
he was snogging the face off
in the corridor? Sam Hunter.
Know where we'd find her?
Her ma' and da' have
a holiday home up the coast road.
Rossmore I think
the house is called.
Leading a wee innocent lad astray.
Shay. Innocent? Come on.
Things haven't been easy for him.
Since his mum got caught with
the PE Teacher and bolted,
Finn at work, all the time.
It's no wonder Shay's running amok.
It's all very recent, you know?
Yeah.
Boss?
Marlene?
About the new detectives position
..it's come a bit out of the blue,
hasn't it?
I mean, Leila's pitched up kind of
out of nowhere.
The post has come about in
a slightly roundabout way.
An opportunity came up.
A few things fell into place.
Hmm, it's also interesting,
because she's moved over here,
quite quickly,
hasn't she?
You would've thought with the
I really wouldn't over-think it.
No, but
Cos a fresh perspective,
sure, keeps us all on our toes, eh?
Yeah, sure.
Bit of a blow out here, then,
last night?
Takovka vodka - I don't know
that one.
A friend brought it over,
sort of celebrating
GROANING
That doesn't sound good.
I'll go take a look.
You were with Shay O'Hare
last night?
Saw him in the pub. Why do you ask?
Were you out on a boat with him?
Er, well, the Commodore was packed
and we just wanted
a bit of privacy?
Leila!
She's seriously unwell.
Callum, call an ambulance.
Uniform, uniform,
ambulance required urgently.
Rossmore House.
Molly.
Your friend is seriously ill.
Any information you have about this
might help.
I really don't know anything.
Sam, there's an opportunity here
to do the right thing.
It might make things better
down the line.
The vodka came off a boat out in
the harbour.
I was only going to get one bottle,
y'know, to drink ourselves
..but Shay had other ideas.
If there's a lovelier spot on
God's Green Earth,
I never heard tell of it.
Me neither.
You heading somewhere?
No, no. Just this,
it's straight out of the oven and
That's not the infamous
O'Hare Barmbrack,
is it? The one that no non-O'Hare's
ever to get
the recipe of, or even taste?
Well, normally, but I thought just,
you were firing around,
here, there and everywhere,
you'd have built up an appetite.
Shay. He's only a wee lad really.
Are you going to have
him prosecuted?
What, Shay?
I wouldn't give our Marlene
the hassle of the admin.
The boat's back, no harm done.
Right.
Well?
Oh, yes.
That is something else.
And to think that you lot have been
sitting on that for generations.
Which side of the family
do you think that criminal streak
originates from?
Shay's mum's side, probably?
Anyhow, the police will decide
what happens to Shay.
Hey, I was only joking. Leave that
here. Go on with you.
Oh, for goodness' sake!
There was a case a couple
of weeks ago
..two teenagers up the coast blinded
by imported illegal vodka.
I think it's the same stuff that
guy in
the Commodore was fiddling about
with when we came in.
You mean Clint?It's a bit of
a coincidence there's counterfeit
vodka around
and he's got a two-for-one offer on.
Yeah, but Clint will be cashing in
cos of the festival.
I haven't heard any complaints about
the vodka being served in
the Commodore?
Hm. But there wouldn't be,
if he was watering it down.
Y'all right, mate?
That sign
..two-for-one vodka.
How do you make that work,
like, business wise?
Ah, you know how it is,
the suppliers have a surplus and
they make it worth your while, so
A local girl was drinking some
illegal vodka last night,
ended up in hospital,
seriously ill, and there may well be
more cases.
Vodka she bought from here? No.
But if I find out someone's
making it worth your while
No, no, no!
Ah, listen, Finn,
I didn't mean Clint,
if you've been receiving
counterfeit vodka
..I'll close you down
like that, mate.
The supplier's name is
Ryan O'Rooney.
Thank you.
Sir, it's obvious,
the vodka came from
Ryan Reilly's boat.
Sam and Shay were on the rib.
One of them talked
the other one into stealing
the vodka. It's Ryan we're after.
He's not Ryan Reilly.
He's Ryan O'Rooney.
He gave us a false name.
I've just run a background check.
He has a fairly serious
criminal history,
including assault and drug supply.
Do we know what Ryan's boat
was called?
Sam doesn't remember.
We need to ask Shay.
RINGING TONE
Does he normally pick up?
He's a teenager.
He's glued to the darn thing.
I'm sorry, but the person
you've called
Shay?
Shay!
Son.
Leila. Up here, Leila.
Shay.
Shay. Come on, son.
Shay, come on, come on, lad.
Shay, Shay?
Shay, come on.
He's breathing.
It's the same vodka.
What were you thinking, son?
Oh, I, I'm going to be sick.
Here you go, here you go.
Come on, up there.
HE VOMITS
You're all right, kid,
you're all right.
Oh, come here, come here,
come here, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Ah, good lad, good lad.
Sorry. That's all right, mate,
that's OK.
I heard, erm, down the Commodore
..shipments of this cheap booze
brought in by this Ryan guy.
I kind of told Sam I could get
vodka. You know, like a bottle.
I don't even know why. I was just
trying to show off.
Listen, it happens, kid.
I was going to take just the one,
but Sam said
.."We might as well take a crate."
How did Ryan end up in the water?
He came up on deck. I mean,
he went ballistic,
started to attack Sam,
so I pushed him off her.
I had to,
he was really going to hurt her.
Do you remember the name of
the boat?
Osprey One.
That's really helpful, Shay.
I've a warrant to search the boat.
We just have to find it now.
So, Shay?
We need to decide what action
to take.
I guess we have no choice
but to prosecute him,
but it's a shame to tarnish him
with a criminal record.
Yeah, Shay is just a wee lad,
regardless of who his dad is
Yeah, a big stupid eejit of
a wee lad.
But we can't bend the rules for
the inspector's son.
Well, over here, we, uh,
we don't have to have
a one-size-fits-all approach.
And he did save Ryan's life by
putting up the flare.
So would you be comfortable about
him getting off with
an informed warning?
I'd be more than comfortable. OK.
Coastguard has sighted the Osprey
One. It's in the harbour.
Marlene, Callum,
you take the north side,
we'll cover the south. OK?
You OK?
Fine.
Leila, hold on a minute.
What the hell's she doing?
Leila, stop.You're under arrest
What are you talking about?
..on suspicion of supply
of counterfeit alcohol
and evasion of duty.
Get off my boat now.
Ryan Put the gun down now.
Ryan!
Gun's clear.
Right, let's get you
out of here, Ryan.
That could've been fatal.
What?
Yous both could've been shot.
Then where would we be?
You need to get your act together.
I've really upset her.
Marlene will get over it.
Just risk assess first and then go
in, not the other way round.
Sir, I saw the chance.
I had to act.
We've got slightly different rules
over here.
We carry guns because
guns are more readily available.
Marlene was right.
A situation like that
could turn fatal.
I've got to protect you,
so just let me do my job.
The lone wolf routine
stops now, OK?
Which room did she put you in?
The big one at the front.
That's my old room.Is it? Yeah.
Leila, it's great that we got Ryan
and that's down to you.
We'd be nowhere without
Shay's statement.
It's just me and him
and at the minute and
..with all the work stuff
sometimes I get a bit distracted.
Understandable.
He needed strong boundaries,
discipline and I wasn't watching
closely enough.
You're his parent, not his manager.
I know there's been a lot
of change
..and I'm sure you're missing
your mum.
I've no-one to blame but myself.
What'd you mean?
She wouldn't have gone if it wasn't
for me.
How did you get to that conclusion?
Cos I told Nanny what Mum did.
She had a go at Mum and,
and Mum thought,
y'know, she had to choose.
That break up was
a long time coming.
Your mother leaving has got
nothing to do with you.
None of that is your fault.
OK?
Oh, man,
it's really hard
to get it all right.
You're fine, Dad.
You do get it right.
I mean, there's a strong system.
Really? After today, I'm not sure
the system's working, mate.
It was a dopey thing to do,
drinking that vodka.
I really didn't mean to scare you.
I know that.
I was so frightened when you found
out about the boat, like
I just thought I'd let
you down so much you wouldn't
Hey, I do, I do.
I always will.
Ah, here she is. Leila, welcome
to the first Annual Port Devine
Festival Hooley.
And The Concept's in the house.
You going to give us
a song tonight?
Who knows what the night will hold?
Barry, your fancy woman's here.
MUSIC: "Clap Your Hands"
by Johnny Brady
Come on, Leila.
Want to dance?
Totally out of puff.
I'm going to sit this one out if
you don't mind.
No bother.
Don't waste your time looking.
The vodka went down the plug hole.
Good.
Though I wouldn't fancy being in
your shoes when her ladyship finds
out what you've been up to.
C'mon, she's bound to.
Look who she's dancing with.
Nicole's going to blow a gasket.
I need to do something, Finn.
Like what?
You going to bust in there
and carry her off Tarzan style?
He was preyed upon.
Some dodgy guy with knock-off
vodka, pretending it was legit.
He's a chancer, isn't he?
You think I'm mad? I mean
..should I dump him?
Look, let's face it,
Clint comes from
a long line of wrong 'uns,
and his own track record isn't
exactly squeaky clean, is it?
Nicole, you've You've one life
and you have to make a decision.
Right, it's time to present
the trophy
to the winner of the Harbour Dash.
Ladies and gentlemen,
put your hands together
for Inspector Finn O'Hare!
Well done, mate.
I have a question to ask
a very special lady here tonight.
Nicole
..I'm the luckiest guy in
Port Devine.
Will you do me the honour
of becoming Mrs Clint Dunwoody?
Will you marry me?
OK, I will!
I need a drink.
Hey.Well, we're not the only ones
who've forgiven him. Indeed.
Thanks, for, you know,
having me here.
The people looking
for you are highly dangerous,
so it's vital that we keep this
under wraps.
Agreed. But I must admit,
it's tough,
having to lie to people
..especially your colleagues.
Do I need to do anything
about Marlene?
She has been asking questions.
I just can't believe it.
It's such a disaster.
Nicole's being taken for
a ride by that big eejit.
You think she's selling
herself short?
Sounds like you're speaking from
experience, Leila.
There was someone, but
I broke it off.
Turned out he wasn't as great as
I thought.
Is that why you're over here?
Mm-hm. Fresh start and everything.
Sorry, if you don't mind me asking,
what sort of not great?
Well, you know, jealous type
..I don't want to bore you.
If her relationship ended
and she's starting afresh here,
that's completely logical.
She just told us a pack of
lies. What?
She bought it. Good.
The last person you want sticking
their nose in is Marlene.
I know a lie when I hear one,
and I'm going to get to
the bottom of it.
You mark my words.
