Rebus (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

1
He said something else
about having a stag on.
Who the fuck says, "stag on"?
People in the Army.
Hello, John.
Darryl Christie's dad.
Do you remember him? Aye.
Aye, it was a suicide, eh?
It was Jimmy McJagger.
McJagger's connected to Cafferty.
I know that.
And I expect you to deal with
him in a professional manner.
I just wanted you to know that
if you ever needed any help
I think you should leave.
What did he want? Just
asking if I wanted to
go for something to eat.
Is it a problem?
I know where you can lay your
hands on a serious amount of gear.
Gun!
You point a gun at me and my mates,
you're getting fucking shot.
Tell me everything
that's going on
and I'll help you.
Michael, you really need to phone me.
I know what you did.
I fucking know.
Nothere.
I'll get you at the park.
Give me two minutes.
Have they sent you to arrest me?
No.
No-one else knows, just me.
How did you find out?
The lad in the flat told me you
said they should have a stag on.
Who the fuck says that?
What are you going to do? I don't know.
I need to think.
Well, if there's anything I can do
Fuck. You've done enough!
And you better not do anything else,
because if I hear about anything,
I will lift you. I don't care
if you're my brother or not.
There's nothing else.
I promise.
Does Andy know anything about
what happened at that flat?
No.
I need a statement from him about
that stabbing the other day.
OK, you can come back to the
house and question him there.
No, he's coming over
to Edinburgh to do it.
Truth be told
I'm not the man I once was
But I also know
I'm not the man that I once was

Mh-hm, mm-mm-mm. ♪
Heknows about me robbing the flat.
He doesn't know about last night.
Yeah, what if he finds out?
You shot someone.
He won't.
The man that we robbed,
Cafferty's his name.
He's a criminal.
He cannae go to the police.
What's he goingtosay?
Someone's stole my drugs?
Well, they'll come after you.
They don't know it was us.
What if Andy lets something slip?
He won't, he's switched on.
Yeah, but they're questioning him.
Aye, about the stabbing that he saw.
I am not having it, Chrissie!
I'm not having us not
able to afford to eat.
We're working our arses off,
we cannae afford anything.
No holidays, driving a
shitty ten-year-old car.
Our kids shoplifting.
Fuck that!
Don't trust anyone.
I don't.
And it is just till we get out of here,
to get us back on our feet? Aye,
we're goingtosell the drugs,
we're goingtoget the money,
we're goingtoget out of here.
I promise.
James Cochran was in there having a kip.
He just brought a wagon
over from Belfast.
He was Billy's nephew.
That's not good.
No, it's not good.
There's a younger man here in the town,
been having a go at
some of my associates.
Does he not know who the
fuck he's dealing with here?
He's well aware of who you are
and my connection to you.
I'll deal with him.No.
We're here to deal with him.
What's his name?
Christie.
Darryl Christie.
I thought we were goingtorob
Cochrane's together? We were.
Right, and what changed? I mean,
we talked about it.
You know what it's like.
It all happened so fast.
Sometimes you just, you know, can't,
can't explain it,
just feels right.
And it was the cunts that
robbed the young team?
Aye, that's what they said.
Is there any money in
the safe at the gym? Aye.
About a grand.Fuck.
Listen, I'm goingtogo
meet them at the place
where you meet the Scousers,
get the gear.
Nice. You want me to come with you?
Go to the gym, act fucking normal.
I'll see you in a bit, yeah?
Goodmorning,
Moncrieffe Investment Management.
How can I help? Hi, how are you?
Very well, thank you.
Can I speak to Mr Moncrieffe, please?
Just putting you through now.
I just thought it
was a fight, eh?
I saw they had knives in their hands,
so I steamed in.
You intervened?
Aye.
One of them,
the one in the black,
he came at me with his knife,
and I dodged him and I gave him a slap.
And then the other one,
the one with the tattoo on his neck,
he came at me and I disarmed him.
What side of the neck was his tattoo on?
Er, the right. Your right, or his right?
No, my right. His left.
Is that right?
It's your statement.
The left-hand side.
Can you, er
identify the man you saw here?
That's him there.
We haven't recovered
any of the clothes? No.
But we have a statement
now from Andrew Rolland,
positively identifying him,
and saying he has a tattoo
on the left side of his neck.
That's Strang a couple of
days before the stabbing,
in a sports shop.
Arrest him. Bring him in.
I'll speak to the PF.Great.
Listen, just a heads-up.
Shiv, I think she's seeing Malcolm Fox.
What's that got to
do with anything?
Well, we'll need to watch
ourselves, won't we?
I'm going to go
pick up Strang.OK.
I'll go with a
couple of uniforms.
You could do me a favour, though.
Take our witness for a
sandwich and a cup of tea.
Right, tell him I'll take him back
to my brother's when I get back.
No, I can do that.No.
No, I want to do that myself.
Hi, John, it's me.
I was just wondering if you've
spoken to Michael today?
No, I haven't. Have you?
No.
No, I saw Chrissie yesterday.
I went over to see her. I know
you told me I shouldn't, but I did,
and I think I might
have made things worse.
Ah, don't worry about it,
I need to go over there later anyway
so I'll see how they are. Thank you.
Aye, no bother.
How's Sammy?
I'm looking forward to seeing her later.
You know you don't
have to if you're busy.
No, I want to. I know you want to.
But I thought that with everything
that happened at the hospital,
you might not want her there.
Why don't you just come over for supper?
It would be good for you and
Lockie to spend some time together.
You're both in Sammy's life now.
You're a client
and you need cash.
Too good an opportunity to miss, this.
Double your money in a couple of days.
Say no more, your
credit's always good here.
And our compliance
officer's on annual leave.
We should grab a drink sometime. Aye.
Spot of lunch. Let's make a day of it.
I should be getting off.
Irons, fires
We'relooking for Darryl, Shaun.
Do you know where he is?
That'll be a no, then, eh?
I'd thought you'd have had
a canteen in the station.
There hasn't been a canteen for years.
Vending machines, that's all we have now.
You dannae look
like a police woman.
Everybody says that.
Is there police in your
family or something like that?
Er, no. My parents are
both college lecturers.
And they're quite left-wing.
They think the police are
instruments of oppression.
So, how's it been seeing
Sergeant Rebus' brother?
It's been good, aye.
Catching up.
Michael's still pals with a lad
from the regiment, Neil MacKenzie.
And they've got another mate - Cammy.
Gary Campbell.
Cammy was in 45 Commando.
Royal Marines.
He had his leg blown off
by an IED in Afghan.
Oh, that's
That's terrible.Aye.
He seems all right about it.
What does he do now?
I think he has a place on the bridge.
Does up old motors and that.
I think.
I could do with a cheap car.
Is it Gary Campbell?
Aye.
How long's it been
since you last saw him?
Michael? Mm.
Four five years.
Doesn't matter with them though,
you just pick up like it was yesterday.
That's how it is
with real friends.
They're good guys.
And you did good today.
Giving us a statement.
It really helped us.Yeah.
Do you have to give a statement
if you see something?
Like a crime?
Mm, technically, no.
But you should.
It's the right thing to do.
But you dinnae have to?
No, you don't.
Not unless you're
a police officer.
Nay luck for yous then, eh. Well
that's the job.
Any other questions
about the law?
You got a boyfriend?
Shaun?
Has someone been cooking meat in here?
Go to his home address.
If he's not there, back here.
If he's not here, back there,
every hour on the hour,
until you find him. Got it?
There's no sign of Strang. No?
Do you think he's done a runner?
I don't know.
Did you try Darryl? Not yet.
So, you you're
thinking Cafferty?
I'm keeping an open mind.
Where's our have-a-go-hero?
I should take him back to my brother's.
He's in reception.
Did you get him his lunch?
How was he? He was fine.
I think. What?
I don't know, it's probably
nothing, he just
He asked a question about whether
you have to report a crime.
It didn't seem like anything
when we were talking,
but now I'm thinking he might
not have meant the stabbing.
I only told you to buy him a sandwich.
Look, why don't you, er
Why don't you try and track down
Darryl while I take Andy back?
See what he knows about Strang.
OK. No problem.
You know, this could just be the start.
We could do great things together, man.
We're fine, Darryl.
No, I know that, I know. It's just
if you ever fancy
doing anything more
You boys are pros. You're good.
Your skills, my skills.
I mean, if we get rid of Ger
Cafferty, for instance
we could take over.
Make a lot of money together.
We're fine. That's all we wanted.
If I ever see him again,
I'm slotting him.Aye.
Fucking clown.
Can I keep his suit?
Let's get some supplies.
Yes, my friend, yes.
Oh, dear, Darryl.
You've really gone and
fucked yourself now.
What have you and Michael
been up to the last few days?
Nothing much.
He hasn't tried to get
you a job at he's work?
Parcel deliveries.
Don't know if I'd fancy that.
Fuck, me neither.
Any idea what you fancy doing in future?
I don't know. I never really
think about the future.
Ken, you dinnae have to go back to
Michael's, if you didn't want to.
I want to.
Well, just don't let
him persuade you to do
anything you don't want to do.
Yes, I was aware Rebus spoke to Cafferty.
As a part of the investigation
into McJagger's stabbing?
They're associates. It's routine.
And you're comfortable with that?
You have no concerns?
Despite what might have
previously happened between them?
If I had any concerns,
I would come to you.
Immediately.
Great. Thanks.
I tried phoning you earlier.
Yeah, I was busy.
Sorry.
Do you fancy coming for
a drink or something?
No. I actually have
to do something.
It's work.
What were you in seeing Gill about?
Well, that was work.
I hope it wasn't
anything I've said.
Nothing to do with you.
Doesn't it bother you that
people don't trust you?
The only people that don't trust me
are people with something to hide.
You know what I think?
I think at the moment,
the way things are in the world,
the politics that we have now just now,
the way that businesses operate,
just because everyone else is
letting their standards slip,
doesn't mean I have to.
It doesn't always work that way, does it?
Is this you talking, or is this Rebus?
Then my advice would be, cover your arse.
Cos if something goes wrong,
he won't care about you.
Somethingto celebrate?
It's been planned for a while.
Just a couple of the lads
and their families.Aye.
Do you think it's the right time?
I might not have that much longer
if you lift me for what
happened across the road.
I'm not going to lift you,
Michael, I've told you.
But somebody ended up murdered
because of what you did.
And someone might say something.
Or someone will
have seen something.
You're the only one that knows.
You want a beer? No, I cannae.
I've got to go round to
Rhona's later, for some,
er, something to eat.
Rhona was here yesterday.
Aye, I know. Sorry about that.
Guess she was just trying
to do the right thing.
Here, will the will the
shepherd be there tonight?
Lockie?
Lockie, aye.
Aye, he'll be there.
He's no on a shepherd's wage,
that's for sure.
He's fucking minted, eh?
Maybe I should rob him.
What the fuck.
What a day, huh? Aye.
We'll pay for it.
Hey, hey, it's the big man.
How we doing? All right, boy. Come here.
You made it. You sure you won't stay?
What? And listen to you lot
spinning dits all night?
Oh, you can spin a few yourself.
Let's get started.
I'm fine.
I should go.
They're mob handed.
They're having a barbecue.
There's women and children.
They drinking?
They will be.
We'll wait.
If you could ask Daryl Christie to
give me a call when you see him,
really appreciate it.
Heonly asked you about the
stabbing? Nothing else?
Nothing.
Good.
I think we should've taken
Christie's money, kept the gear.
Sell it to someone else.
Let's just stick with what
we've got for now, eh?
No need for greed.
Did everything go OK
when you met Christie?
There's your first instalment, there.
Mum says you've got to
get the barbecue lit.
Aye, come on.
Here.
That's for you and your brother for
putting up with me staying here.
Thank you.
Don't tell your mum. I won't.
Thiscunt gave you up
in a heartbeat, Darryl.
That's the young now.
No fucking balls.
Youhang in there, Shaun.
There's a better day coming.
Strangy?
Shaun?
Goal!
The sausages are ready
if you wanttotake them.
I don't want the boys
seeing what's going on.
They won't.
Andy gave Michael this. 200 quid.
Well, he shouldn't have.
Is there anything else
that shouldn't be here?
No.
What about that
souvenir of yours?
In the box?
I don't want it here.
Show us it.
Yeah, well, it's carbon fibre
with a hydraulic ankle.
It's better than a human leg.
You're bionic.
Do you not miss your your real leg?
Yeah.
I miss the tattoo
I had on my calf.
But you can get another tattoo with
the money you're saving on socks.
Yep, I'm making 100% saving on socks.
You mean 50%?
What a great room.
I know you're annoyed with me.
You're a snitch.
Don't say that.
You told mum that I
said she was pregnant.
You got me in trouble.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to
get you in trouble.
And don't use that word - snitch.
Don't snitch on people, then.
It's just telling the truth, that's all.
You can't always tell the truth.
Yeah, I know.
But you should tell the
truth as much as possible.
Why did you and mum
split up, then?
Tell me the truth.
We've talked about this.
It's, er
Two people get married,
right? And then they
things change.
People change.
You changed?
No.
No, I didn't change.
Maybe maybe that
was the problem.
Like tonight, your mum,
she's a sociable person,
she does things,
she likes people.
You don't?
I like you.
I love you.
But I don't really
like many other people.
See, some people
can pretend to be something
that they're not. They can adapt.
Well, I don't think
I can do that.
Maybe you don't want to.
Maybe. Maybe.
That's why I want you to grow up here.
You know? So this
all feels normal.
What if I don't want to?
You'll do as you're told.
Come on! Let's go and
get our cheese on toast.
Cheese on toast?
Aye, it's supper.
It'll be cheese on toast
and a cup of tea, no?
Voila.
Been really getting back
into my Riojas lately.
Lockie's all one way and
then the other, isn't he?
Afraid so.
I get a taste for something,
and that's me.
Until I sicken myself of it and
then move onto something new.
As long as that doesn't happen to you.
No chance of that. You OK having a drink?
Aye, why not? No pressure if
you don't want to. It's fine.
I quite fancy one.
Ah, cheers.
Oh, aye, sorry, cheers.Cheers.
Cheers.Cheers.
Terrible, that murder in
the General the other day.
It was just a kid that did it.
He was 17. What would make him do that?
Fear.
The fear of what happens
if he doesn't do it.
I sometimes wonder where
we're headed, as a society.
We're living in an interregnum,
that's the problem.
You and your interregnums
all you ever talk about.
"The old is dying and
the new cannot be born."
"In this interregnum,"
"a great variety of morbid
symptoms are appearing."
You familiar with Gramsci, John?
Yeah.
A great DJ.
A pair of socks. They cost a tenner,
but you only wear one sock, yeah?
So I only have to buy half as many socks.
Didyou tell him he could have a drink?
I told him he could
have one beer.
It's 50%! No, it's not!
OK, boys. Party's over.
I just think there's a
recklessness to people nowadays.
People you wouldn't expect it
from or have any reason to.
There's always been that.
It's thrill seeking.
Like rich people shoplifting a
packet of sweets. Thank you.
It's, er, they just
want excitement.
I actually know
someone like that.
He has no reason to sail
quite so close to the wind,
but yet he does. Mad.
Do you want to give me his name?
It's very Edinburgh, though,
isn't it? The split personality.
Respectable to the public,
depraved in private.
It's Jekyll and Hyde, Deacon Brodie,
it's what this city is.
Speak for yourself.
I think capitalism's the problem.
Says the fund manager.
I know, I know. It's just, well,
it's unsettling when so
many people are struggling.
John's a communist.
You are. You grew up in a
mining village over in Fife.
I see what you're saying.
I used think all the old
timers were stuck in the past.
Talking about class wars and
how people didn't understand
what would happen if they
didn't fight against the rich.
But it's all come true.
It's all come full circle now.
You think it might be time
to get the pitchforks out?
This might be getting close.
Well, thank God we've got people
like you to look after us, then.
Never mind the pitchforks,
I think it might be time for dessert.
Your time to shine, Sammy.
We wanted to surprise you,
but Sammy's getting to be a dab
hand with the kitchen torch.
What?
Oh, don't worry, John,
we've been practising.
Haven't we, Sam-Sam? Yeah. Watch.
Mm.
Therewe go. Great job, Nigella.
Ah, fantastic.
Well done. Oh, that's brilliant.
That looks yummy. That looks very tasty.
Goodnight, darling.OK.
Dad.
Computer? 30 minutes. Yes!
Are you OK?
Fine. Fine? Fine.
Fine.
I'm always fine.
Hey.
I know you meant well
but it's yours.
Don't give it to my boys.
Is he OK?
Aye.
He's sleeping.
It was Cammy that was
giving him all the beer.
Oh, no, I know.
No, hey, just leave the
dishes till tomorrow.
Dinnae open the door!
Andy!
Fuck!
Argh!
Argh!
Hey, fuck!
He bit me. Get up. On your feet.
He fucking bit me!
Get up. He fucking bit my fucking nose.
Fuck!
My nose.
Andy?
Andy. Hey, hey, hey.
Come on. Hey, turn. Let me see. Come on.
Hey. Andy.
Andy. CAR ENGINE STARTS
I'm all right.
Hey. Andy?
Stay with me.
Andy.
Please, come on.
Andy, please.
Please, Andy.
Come on.
What do YOU want?
Hiya, love.
Slow down.
Chrissie, slow down.
I told George.
What did you tell him?
I told him about us.
No
No, no, no.
No, Maggie.
I had to do it, John. No, you didnae.
No, you didnae.
I did it for you.
What do you mean
you did it for me?
What, do you think this
means we would be together?
No.
I don't want you.
I never wanted you.
I want my family back.
