Rebus (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
You tried to fucking kill me, Rebus.
I could've made things
much worse for you.
We could've made things
much worse for you.
I told George about us.
I don't want you
Well done.
I want my family back.
Gun!
You point that gun at me or my mates,
you're getting fucking shot.
It was Billy's nephew. That's not good.
No, it's not good.
There's a younger man.
What's his name?
Darryl Christie.
We're looking for Darryl, Shaun?
Do you know where he is?
We could do great things together, man.
Your skills, my skills.
Oh, dear, Darryl. You've really
gone and fucked yourself now.
He fucking bit me!
Andy, hey! I'm all right.
Andy, please, come on!
Chrissie, slow down.
Shit.
Fuck.
Don't you ever answer your phone?
My phone's dead. Are you OK?
Aye, fine.
How? What's happened?
I need to take that.
And your laptop.
Aye, sure.
How? What what is it I'm
supposed to have done?
It isn't you, it's your witness,
Andy Rolland.
He was shot at your brother's
house and Michael is missing.
Truth be told
I'm not the man that I once was
But I also know
I'm not the man that I once was

between the lines
Of right and wrong. ♪
Ah.
I thought he would've been safe here.
Do you think Strang or Christie
could've found out where he was?
I don't see how.
Nah, the only person that
knew I was taking him
to give a statement
was my brother.
When'd you last see Michael?
Yesterday. Here, when I dropped Andy off.
Where was the flat that
Jack was staying in?
Someone could've been there,
spotted Andy here.
But that doesn't explain why the
gunmen had Northern Irish accents,
or tell us where your brother is.
No, it doesn't.
Has your brother ever
been in Northern Ireland?
Years ago. With the army.
Cafferty has links with Northern Ireland,
through Cochrane and his drug operation.
I hope you're not
holding out on me, John.
Why would I do that?
You tell me.
John! Michael told you!
Andy didnae want to be involved!
Chrissie
Hetold you and you took
him back over there and forced him
to make that fucking statement.
Then they found out where he was!
That's rubbish.
He died saving me and the boys!
Get off me!
Where's Michael?
I don't know.
Can I have a word?
See you in a bit.
Thanks. I'll crack on.
I take it you heard about what
happened last night to Andy Rollins?
Yeah, of course.
Did you have much to do with
the witness, or was that mostly
handled by Sergeant Rebus?
No, I We both went and found him.
And I was there when
he made his statement.
I took him over to the cafe
yesterday afterwards. I
I just can't believe he's dead.
Did you have any dealings
with Sergeant Rebus's brother?
No.
Do you think that Sergeant Rebus
might've known that his brother
was involved in
anything like this?
Am I making a statement here?
Not yet, but we'll get to that.
But, listen, you need to think -
whether his brother was
involved in this or not,
how is this going to look
when the press get hold of it?
A shooting at the
house of someone
whose brother is a detective sergeant?
I need to speak to Rebus.
Andy was a witness to the
stabbing of Jimmy McJagger.
The stabbing that happened
before McJagger was murdered.
When I interviewed him,
I found out that he was in the same
army regiment as my brother
and that he was homeless.
I told my brother Michael about
this to see if he could help him.
What you told your
brother to take him in?
No. I didn't say that.
I didn't say I told him to take him in.
I just told him that I'd met him
and these were his circumstances.
It was my brother's decision
to take him into his house.
And I also felt that it would be to
our advantage to know where he is,
as he would have to testify
at any future trial.
When did you last have
contact with your brother?
I haven't seen Michael since yesterday,
when I dropped off
Andrew Rolland at his house.
You weren't followed there by anyone?
No.
Not at all, I would have noticed.
Did you warn your brother
there might be a threat to him
as a witness in a case like this?
No.
It didn't occur to me that
there would be any threat.
Were you aware that the
murderer of Jimmy McJagger
lived near your brother?
Not until we had him in custody.
But you did go to the house
the following evening?
I did.
It's all reported and
DI Templer is aware.
I was told that you were recently
in contact with Ger Cafferty?
What was the purpose of that meeting?
He got in touch with me.
Regarding? It was in connection
to thestabbing of Jimmy McJagger.
That meeting logged, was it?
I told DI Templer.
Is Mr Cafferty a registered informant?
You know he is.
Does Cafferty have any
connection with your brother?
No.
Yet, there's a shooting
at your brother's house,
with a witness killed
and you're telling me this
is all just coincidental?
Yes.
I'm going to need access to all
your personal phone records to see
any communication between
you and your brother.
Inspector Templer already secured
my phone and computer, so
And needless to say, you'll be
removed from the investigation
you're currently working
on at the moment.
You're loving this, aren't you?
Not at all.
Why did you tell that
snivelling little shit Fox
about me meeting Cafferty?
I was hung out to dry in there, Gill.
Don't come here and accuse me.
I was honest with you and
this is how you repay me?
Are you kidding me,
John? After everything I've done.
Ah, fuck
I I wish I had killed him.
And if I hadn't opened that
ambulance door, you would have.
And then where would you be? Huh?
I did not tell Malcolm Fox
anything about Cafferty.
So who did, then?
Don't take it out on her.
You should go home, John.
With everything that's
happened to your brother,
it's best that you
take a step back.
I know who you are now, then.
Excuse me?
You might think because you're
fast track, you'll only have
a couple of years here and
then you'll be off to Gartcosh,
talking about agency and partners,
and stakeholders and all that pish.
But just remember, you still need
to have people you worked with
that trust you and think you're
all right if you want to lead.
Just remember that.
I will, but I don't know
what you're talking about.
Aye, you do.
Hello?
Rebus!
It's for you.
Hello?
Maggie, where are you?
Right, I'm on my way.
We could break it open.
No point if Christie's not there.
There's no way in round there.
If Christie's bugged out,
we need to find this Cafferty.
It's Christie that leads us to Cafferty.
We can try his nightclub.
Yeah, well, we do Darryl and Cafferty.
They're both fucking getting it.
For Andy.
We need to find them first.
Darryl?
What is it?
Just checking you're alive.
Argh! Jesus! Fuck!
Fuck.
Who do you think
that is in there?
I don't fucking know.
Look, um
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for giving you up.
I always thought I'd be
better at resisting torture.
Oh, you did, did you?
We live and fucking learn, eh?
Argh!
Think we're ever going
to get out of here?
I don't know, Shaun.
Well, if we do
I'm going to put my hands
up for stabbing McJagger.
Aye, I'll put my hand up for anything.
Anything at all.
M'on, you.
This soldier who shot Jamie
Cochran in the warehouse,
what age was he?
You bastard! You fuck!
I'd say in his, um,
forties, maybe.
It wasn't him.
It said on the telly this morning
that the one we shot was 27.
It was one of them.
Argh!
Oh, fuck!
Are you sure this lassie
knows what she's doing?
Aye, aye. She's good.
She's a cosmetic surgeon.
Ahhhhhh!
Well she did say that
the anaesthetic she uses
on the derma fillers might not cut
the mustard on a job like this.
Do you not need to get
yourself back over to Belfast
till this all blows over?
We need to find who killed Jamie.
I know, I know.
But the police are going
to be looking for you,
going to be looking for all of us.
We need to be careful.
Is he done?
Aye.
He needs to find where they are.
What the fuck's going on?
They got one of the soldiers last night.
But it wasn't the one
who killed their boy.
Oh, for fuck's sake, be careful!
One of them got hurt.
Nearly had his nose bitten off.
You need to be in touch with they boys.
Me?! No, they'll think it
was me that set them up.
Well, they'll definitely know you
set them up if you're no in touch.
Look, I know the address of the house.
It's a rental. So I'll probably
find out who rented it,
but you need to be the
boy that organises it.
Otherwise, we're going to
be stuck with this pair.
Oh, aye, aye. That looks a lot better.
You two need to keep
your heads down here.
We'll find them. Come on, you.
You can bolt now, hen.
Come on.
You know what's my
worst nightmare?
What?
A united Ireland.
Why's that?
Because the Chuckle Brothers
back there would be moving here.
They've told me, several times.
"It's our ancestral homeland."
Can you imagine that? A million
of these fuckers back over here?
With their fucking bands
and their politics.
People dinnae like immigration,
but wait till they have to take back
all the cunts they got
rid of 400 years ago.
I'm not following your
argument here, Ger.
If they wind up over here,
who do you think gets the elbow?
You! No! Fuck! Us, Darryl!
Us! And the polis cannae
do anything about them,
they're protected by
the security services.
Anyone interferes with
their drug dealing,
then they just threaten to
start the Troubles up again.
Is that why you deal with them?
We need to think strategically, Darryl.
You can think strategically, can't you?
You're not going to let
the past get in the way
of us dealing with this? The past?
I had nothing to do with
your dad getting killed.
Bullshit! I didn't!
That was between your
dad and Jimmy McJagger.
And you need to forget about that now.
Forget about it?
It ruined my fucking life!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Or maybe it made
you what you are?
I went from a four-bedroom house
in Duddingston to the Inch.
I was at Stewart Melville's!
Oh, you see that's your
problem right there, Darryl.
You're no angry with me.
You're angry cos
you don't fit in.
You You feel like you're trapped
between two worlds, don't ya?
You had this life,
and then that vanished,
and you had to fend for yourself.
Then you ended up in the jail,
and you didn't fit in there either.
But you cannae go back to that old life.
You can't be part of
the old school-tie mob.
You'd be surprised.
Oh? Oh, aye, sure, sure.
You can sell 'em a bit of gear.
They can maybe have a wee vicarious
walk on the wild side with you.
But you're not part
of their world.
You're in this world now, Darryl.
My world.
OK, so Christie has bugged out.
Or he's been arrested.
The police have been at my door.
Yeah? Well, they'll be
looking for all of us.
Only a matter of time
before they catch up.Yep.
There is one person who'll
know where to find Cafferty.
Your brother.
When did you find him?
When I phoned you.
I stayed at my
sister's last night.
I didn't want to come back here.
When I called him this morning,
there was no answer.
What do you think he took?
I don't know, there's lots
of painkillers missing.
You still glad you told him about us?
Oh, my God, John!
I didn't want to be free of him this way.
I'm sorry.
THIS is where she lives? For real?
Hey, don't you pair touch
anything when we get in here, OK?
Thank you for doing this. Any time.
You're both in the same room,
I hope that's OK?
Hi, boys.
Let me take that. Thanks.
I can't believe something like
that would happen. You can't be OK.
Mm-mn.
It's OK. It's OK.
I am so sorry about the other day.
No, no, don't worry.
You don't have to worry about that.
I'm sorry about all this.
No, you don't have to explain.
No, no, no, I'm glad you called us.
It was the least we could do.
That poor man, the one that got shot.
What was he involved in?
Erm
He was a witness in a stabbing.
And, um, John's investigating it.
Have you spoken to John?
This morning.
Can't he help?
He would do anything to help.
You know he would.
I didn't mean that, Maggie.
Do you remember what you
said to me last night?
Did you mean that?
You should call an ambulance.
They'll take his phone.
There's nothing you were talking about?
There's nothing you don't want
people knowing about Cafferty?
About what happened between him,
and George, and you?
None of that matters now.
Make the call.
This place breaking even the now?
I wish.
I'm going to do
you a favour then.
I'm going to take the
place off your hands.
Is that right?
Aye, that's right.
As a favour to you.
Cos I feel like I owe you
for what Jimmy McJagger did to your dad.
And you've had your revenge for that.
And if you'd stopped then,
there'd be no need for any of this.
But no, no, you had to try and rob me.
Look, nobody fucking robs me.
And anybody that
does pays for it.
Fuck's sake.
Hello.
Michael Rebus? Are you sure?
Aye, OK.
OK, thanks for your help,
darling.
Hello?
Maggie! It's Ger Cafferty.
I need you to get a
message to your boyfriend.
It's Ger Cafferty.
What do you want?
I have a question for you.
I was just wondering if your
brother's called Michael.
No.
Very good. I like a man
with a sense of humour.
Michael's in quite a lot
of trouble, I think.
We should be
discussing his future.
OK.
I'll meet you at The
Oxford Bar in an hour.
And come alone.
I'll see you there.
You stay here with him, son.
I'll be back soon.
Where you going?
What did he want?
To talk to me.
About George?
How the fuck does he have your number?
I don't know.
Why is he phoning
you to talk to me?
I don't know. Has he phoned you before?
No.Was he in touch with George?
No.I need to know what's going on,
Maggie! I mean it!
There's nothing's going on.
You told me Cafferty
knew about us.
You said he knew
we were together.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's Michael.
He's
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Are you sure? Yeah.
What happens now?
A funeral.
Where the fuck have you been?
You heard what happened?
Aye.
I brought Andy to you so you could
help him, not put him in danger.
Aye. I know that and I'm sorry.
It's me they were after,
not Andy.
Why would they be after you?
I might need your
help here, John.
I need to find someone.
Who?
Someone called Ger Cafferty.
Why do you need to find Ger Cafferty?
I'm going to kill him.
You better come through.
Wait, why would you want
to kill Ger Cafferty?
Hey, when I robbed that flat,
one of those two young lads
mentioned someone called Darryl Christie.
Do you know him?
Aye.
They said the money was his.
Said he was a gangster.
And you said, "There's no
gangsters in Edinburgh."
That's what you told me.
Anyway, after what
happened to them,
I decided I would go and see Christie.
How did you find him?
Andy knew where he was.
He told us about his gym,
and a nightclub.
Anyway we caught up with him
and he tells us about this plan
he's got to rob a warehouse.
A warehouse where this
Cafferty keeps his drugs.
Wait, no. Hold on
And you robbed it?
Aye. It belongs to
someone called Cochrane.
Aye. Billy Cochrane.
He used to be a fucking UDA paramilitary.
Aye. The UDA was mentioned.
Michael No, do you know what,
don't fucking start, OK?
Because I know what you're gonnae to say.
But the UDA came to my
house and killed Andy.
You know where this guy Cafferty stays.
You know where he goes.
You just need to tell
me where to find him.
I'll take care of the rest.
And what happens to Chrissie and
the kids when you take care of it?
They'll be all right.
You'll keep an eye on them.
And what if you get hurt?
Or killed?
I've got life insurance.
If you help me
I'll pay you back.
Return the favour.
Just tell me what you want.
You cannae give me what I want, Michael.
How do you know?
Just tell me what it is.
It's impossible.
I want my family back.
Aye, that is a tough one.
I'm not sure how I would do that.
You don't have to give
me anything, Michael.
Why not?
Because maybe I want
to get Cafferty, too.
I need to get some cash out
the safe for the wages.
The staff need paid tonight.
Look, I've got a business to run, man.
You know all my secrets now.
Siobhan Clarke.
Siobhan Clarke.
It's Darryl Christie.
I want to meet with Rebus.
He's not available at the moment but
you can tell me
anything you want to say.
OK. Yeah, see you there.
I still need to take
a statement from you.
Later, Malcolm. Siobhan.
Didn't have you down as a bibliophile.
I know I'm not going to bump into
anyone from the gym in here, am I?
Like Shaun?
Is that why you're
looking for me?
Why else?
I thought you and me maybe
connected that day in my gym?
No?
I need to find Strang.
Do you know where he is?
And if I do, and I tell you?
You'll be doing your civic duty.
Oh, please.
That's probably not going
to be enough for me.
I need something more.
There is no more.
We know you're connected
to McJagger's murder.
Shaun Strang made Jack
Anderson do it, but
he wouldn't have done
it without your say.
Just need to prove it.
What if you can't?
If you're here
you probably think we can.
You know what I don't get?
Why someone like you would
join the police in Scotland.
I get to meet lovely people like you.
They'll never accept you.
You know that, right?
I've been here long enough to
know what Scotland is, Darryl.
Now why don't you shut up
and give me something
a makes a difference.
Even if it's just to yourself.
Strang's here.
He needs a hospital.
And there might be some other
people you're looking for.
Who else am I looking for?
The shooting in Fife last night.
I wouldn't go on your own if I were you.
Take the heavy mob with you.
And tell Rebus I helped you out.
He knows how to
look after people.
Gill Templer.
Hi.
I think I know where Strang is.
Well, Chrissie phoned me.
They couldn't stay in the house.
I didn't want them in
some hotel, all alone.
They should be with their family.
Don't tell me I shouldn't have done it.
I did try and phone you about it.
It's fine. It's better they're with you.
Be nice to your cousins.
I am nice to them!
How are the boys?
They're worried about their dad.
Their lives have been
turned upside down again.
Sammy, can you go and wait in the car?
I'd like to talk to your dad.
I am part of this family.
She is part of this family.
Do you know what's going on?
Did Chrissie tell you anything?
Nothing much.
She's in shock, I think.
Do you know where Michael is?
No, I don't. And you
haven't heard from him?
No.You don't know anything about it?
Of course not.
Somewhere you're meant to be?
No.
Why did you come and meet us?
Because I wanted to
apologise about last night.
Oh, there's no need
for an apology.
No? No.
I felt like there maybe was.
When do you ever worry about
doing something wrong?
All the time.
Do you want to come and see Chrissie?
No.
I can't interfere.
It's a criminal investigation now.
I can't get involved.
You know something, don't you?
You've got to help him, John.
You've got to make sure he's OK.
I will.
Whatever else has happened between you,
he is still your brother.
I'm going to help him, OK?
That's why I'm here.
I love you, darling.
I love you too.
What's wrong, John?
And I love you.
You know that, don't you?
I love you both.
John
Oi! Get out my fucking way!
Don't be like that, Ger.
Fuck.
Christie wanted
to speak to Rebus.
I told him he wasn't available.
You know Rebus thinks you were the one
who put Professional Standards onto him?
Malcolm Fox had information
that he met with Cafferty.
Did you tell him that?
I'll kill him.
You can't do that.
I don't want to lose you off the team.
You leave it alone.
The person you are
calling is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
He's not answering.
There's something not right here, Davey.
I never trusted him.
I don't even know why we
fucking did business with him.
Cafferty.
That name alone should tell us
everything that we
fucking needed to know!
Shit! Armed police! Don't move! Fuck!
Armed police! Show me your hands!
Armed police!
Get down! Get on the ground!
Slowly! Fucking hell. Slowly!
There's one more upstairs.
Ma'am.
Shaun.
We've been looking for you.
Mum. Where's dad?
I don't know.
Is he dead?
Hmm.
No.
No, he's not dead.
Boys can you give me
and your mum a minute?
In you go.
Good lads.
I just saw John.
What did he want?
I don't know, but I felt
like he was saying goodbye.
I think you need to tell me
what's going on, Chrissie.
Where's Michael?
You're Michael. Michael Rebus.
I know your brother, John.
The polis man.
How you doing, Ger?
Fuck you.
He's a fucking charmer, eh?
You set me up.
Aye, I did.
I had nothing to do with that lad
getting shot at your house, Michael.
If I'd known,
I'd have stopped them.
I'd have come to you, eh?
We'd have sorted it.
What, you've sorted stuff out
together before, have you?
Aye, aye, aye.
And we can still sort this.
Tell me what you want, boys.
Money?
I've got plenty money.
Done well for himself over the years, eh?
Murdering and robbing people.
Fucking exploiting them.Aye.
Be a pleasure to put a
bullet in his head then.
Naw.
I want to be the one who does it.
