Kat and Alfie: Redwater (2017) s01e06 Episode Script

1 When I was just a child myself, I had a child.
- What are you doing? - (GRUNTS) DOUG: They were in your deleted folder.
BERNIE: Dermott said he tried to call you when the contractions started.
ANDREW: But no, he didn't.
- You're definitely staying on, then? - Yeah.
Talk about divine intervention.
- That woman.
- That woman is my mother.
Kathleen had another child when you were born.
- Is there anything else I don't know? - No.
I think the sooner you leave, the better.
ALFIE: I had a scan earlier.
I can't tell Kat, obviously, but, um, it's not good news.
Get off me! You're not my da! ANDREW: You swan in here and cause havoc.
KIERAN: What havoc have I caused? EILEEN: Where's Peter? BERNIE: What if something has happened? (GASPS) (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) RADIO ANNOUNCER: You're listening to ZTFM.
Some breaking news for you this morning.
A whale has been spotted off the coastline of Redwater.
The whale, nicknamed Ffion by locals, is thought to be the first sighting of such a large cetacean in the area for almost 21 years.
Now, we want to hear from you.
Have you seen Ffion? Call us or get in touch online with your photos.
ZTFM.
Keeping Ireland talking.
And now, here's Out and Cover by Dogs, featuring Suzanne Parson.
(BABY GURGLING) I know you think I'm mad.
Have you even slept? His body was found here.
Adeen came from here.
So who's this? Someone was on that beach when Lance died.
Or maybe it was the balsamic vinegar here, in the library with the candlestick.
I mean, what do you want me to say? - Just that I'm not going crazy.
- You're not going crazy.
- But you're like a dog after a bone.
- (SIGHS) I just - I just need to be busy.
- Are you not busy enough, no? (BABY GURGLING) And why didn't he call you? When I was in labour, why didn't Dermott call you? And why was he shutting down my computer? You sound just like Kieran.
- What's Kieran got to do with it? - Bernie I can't keep having this conversation.
If any of this nonsense gets out I mean, is that what you want? - No.
- Then, will you please leave it? (BABY GURGLING) (COWS MOOING) (SIGHS) What? Nothing.
Is your mam still in bed? Oh, it's been a whirlwind.
Lance, the funeral, the christening, everything a million miles an hour.
Some rest will do her good.
Some of us don't have that luxury.
What can I do to help? Ro, I'm asking you.
What can I do? Will you quit being the martyr tell me, huh? You wouldn't know where to start.
So tell me.
That's all you have to do.
- I need some money put in the bank.
- Consider it done.
- Our Father, who art in heaven - (CONGREGATION RECITING ALONG) hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
DERMOTT: For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever.
ALL: Amen.
- Hiya, Bernie.
- Oh, Dermott.
Hello there, little Lance.
- Isn't he gorgeous? - Yes, he is.
You're not thinking about a change in career, then? - Midwifery.
- Oh, no! It's not every day a priest gets to deliver a baby.
It's one for the parish newsletter, that's for sure.
(LAUGHING) I was looking at the photos last night.
- From the christening.
- Oh.
Mmm-hmm.
I don't think I thanked you properly.
Don't, uh Don't usually see you here on a weekday.
No.
And thanks, by the way.
For shutting down the computer that night, too.
No problem.
I mean, anyone could have walked into the front desk there.
It's actually all a bit of a blur to me.
My memory seems to be okay.
The morning Lance died, do you remember where you were? Uh I would have been here, I imagine.
You'd imagine? Well, uh It was a weekday, wasn't it? So, uh Yeah.
Would've been here.
Preparing for mass.
And did Lance say anything to you before he died? Well, Lance said a lot of things, didn't he? About? Something that might have been troubling him? - We know he rode all night.
- Nothing to me, I'm afraid.
So you were here? That morning? Why are you asking me all these questions, Bernie? I just told you that I was here.
And when was the last time you saw Lance alive? That night, at the pub.
The same as everyone else.
You stopping for a cup of tea? (SIGHS) I'm not gonna pack any pants.
I'm just gonna turn these ones inside out tomorrow.
(LAUGHING) Come on, darling, it's only one night.
Axel reckons he's a really good contact.
Haven't we've got enough on our plate with the bar? Well, that's the point.
If he can sell us some cheap Irish whisky Cheap meaning knock-off.
What are you talking about? It's not knock-off, even with the import charges.
- By the time we've marked it up - Yeah, you're right.
It's only business, what would I know? As long as that's all it is.
Yeah, well, there's that And my fancy woman (LAUGHING) Why don't you take Tommy down the beach? Apparently they spotted some whale off the coast or something.
Yeah, maybe.
Listen, when I get back tomorrow, we'll sit down and we'll have a chat about what we're going to do, whether we head home Dermott said he needs his space.
So I can't force his hand and drive him away, can I? You haven't spoken to him, have you? - No, I haven't.
- Right.
Hey, Tommy, give Daddy a kiss, come on.
Give your daddy a kiss, good boy.
- You know you want a - (LAUGHING) Get off! Look after Mummy for me, yeah? You better get your stuff together - if you wanna go to that football thing.
- All right.
Football, go, go, go, go! Good boy.
- Call me when you get there, yeah? - Yeah, I promise.
- Bye.
- Love you.
Love you.
- And Alfie? - What? - Don't sign anything.
- (LAUGHING) I won't.
See you later.
Yeah.
(SIGHS) Mam, if you're sick, we should call the doctor.
I'm not sick, Roisin.
I'm grieving.
You'll have to go look for Peter.
I can't go anywhere.
Anything could have happened.
Andrew can manage for a few hours.
Go, both of you.
Find him and bring him back.
- Come on.
- (COWS MOOING) (SOBBING) Adeen? What are you doing, darling? What's happened? Darling, what's the matter? - (SOBBING) - Darling Oh, sweetheart, what's happened to you? - You all right? - Yeah.
(SHUSHING) Kieran! Kieran! Taking after your grandfather? (SIGHS) Yeah, well Missing the gym back home.
Don't get views like this, though.
No, you don't.
Kieran I need to ask you something.
(SIGHS) Ooh.
That looks painful.
- You've no idea.
- (SIGHS) I know you've been speaking to Andrew.
About Dermott? What about him? That's what I was hoping you could tell me.
Andrew thinks I'm going mad.
I think I'm going mad.
Except I don't.
I saw a therapist for a while back in New York because well, that's the American way.
(CHUCKLES) We tried to talk about it.
I don't know About Mouse and what happened.
But I just couldn't.
It's like nothing would come out.
And since being back Don't be so hard on yourself.
It'll be painful, so.
- You forget.
- Yeah.
And then you remember.
- My sister.
- Help! And Dermott.
Iris held out her hand to him, that night.
I heard him.
He wouldn't help his mother.
He let her go under.
He could have saved her but he didn't.
He let her die.
Do you believe me? Yeah.
And then everything with Cois Dara, just The fire? - What do you mean? - (SIGHS) Look, Dermott asked me if he could come in with us on Cois Dara and I said no, obviously, because I mean, why would we? And that night, it's burned to the ground.
Really? - You think - I don't know what I think.
All I know is that everybody I've spoken to has said my grandfather was fit and healthy and then one day, he's just gone.
Just like that, just gone.
So, what changed? What changed? What changed? ADEEN: There's Nan.
Please, anywhere but here.
No car.
Hello? - Peter? - Oh.
- We should call the police.
- No.
Why not? (SIGHS) Because if he has taken the car, they'll do him for drunk driving.
Then, what are we gonna do? (SIGHS) Oh, Peter! (SIGHS) - Where are you going? - I think I know where he is.
- Coffee for you.
- Oh, that's lovely, thank you.
I'll bet you're in and out these places all the time, eh? Oh, not if I can help it.
No, I mean, last rites and all that, you know.
Yeah, as I said, not if I can help it.
Twenty years ago, maybe.
When people like me were still at the centre of all this.
Well, times change, eh? Yeah.
The world keeps marching on and we got left behind.
Ah, the good old days.
(CHUCKLES) - Don't know about that.
- Yeah, you're probably right.
Kat's still a bit upset, I think.
I'm here to support you, Alfie.
I don't want to talk about that, okay? Yeah, no, that No, that's fine.
I know.
You know, Dermott, I really appreciate you being here with me today.
It means a lot.
If anyone wants to be talking to Kathleen, it's you.
Oh, do me a favour.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR) Yeah, I'm coming.
- Kathleen, how are you doing? - All right? Uh, listen, I was just passing and this little one's after puking all over himself.
Would you mind if I cleaned him up real quick? - Yeah, of course you can.
Come in.
- Okay, thanks a million.
Bathroom's upstairs.
First door on the left.
I wouldn't say no to a cuppa, if there's one going.
(SIGHS) They've an offer down there on beef jerky.
Three packs for the price of two.
Don't know if I even like beef jerky but it seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up.
So, what's up? - Does it matter? - No.
It doesn't.
- Jimmy.
- Who's Jimmy? Not the pizza boy? That pimply streak of piss? - He didn't force himself, did he? - No.
Promise you won't say anything.
You're too young for secrets.
- You said you wouldn't.
- And I won't.
But you're too clever to get mixed up in the likes of this, Adeen.
Adeen Kelly? (SNIFFS) (SIGHS) (SNIFFLES) You could have told me to change my shoes.
Where are we going? PETER: (SCREAMING) Iris! What the hell is he doing? You'll catch your death.
Stop fussing over him, will you? How much have you had? Where's the car? You can't remember, 'cause that's what happens when you drink.
Ah, Ro, could you cut him some slack? You need to sober up and get to a meeting.
- Could you just go, both of you? - A meeting? Jesus, Eileen.
Open your eyes.
Your man hasn't had a drink for 18 years.
He's an alcoholic.
But he owns a pub.
And I'm here, so you can stop talking about me like I'm not.
You poor thing.
Come here.
I saw you today, didn't I, - at the football camp thing with - Jonjo.
Yeah, he loves it.
Football mad, he is.
Tommy's the same.
West Ham it is.
That's Alfie's influence.
They're likely to be firm friends by now.
Either that or sworn enemies, huh? You know what kids are like on the football pitch.
So, listen, I did want to ask you something off the record.
I didn't know we were on the record.
We're not.
It's just At the pub, you know, after the run? You spoke to Lance.
My husband saw you.
You were upset.
Must have been all them whisky chasers he was lining up.
(LAUGHING) You didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, did you? I'd just met him that afternoon.
I wouldn't know what ordinary was.
Hmm.
Why? No reason.
Do you know what? I knew something was weird.
- How do you mean weird? - Well, not weird, exactly.
It's just that in the pub, it was the singing and poetry and shots.
And then two days later, he dropped down dead.
Yeah.
Do you think something happened to him? No.
Of course not.
Any sugar going? Yeah, it's in the kitchen.
- Won't be a sec.
- Thanks.
Is there anyone we can call? What about a sponsor? Oh, it's just a slip, not a relapse.
If you don't wanna get drunk, don't take the first drink.
Peter, what happened? You know, we all have regrets.
Whatever it is, it's It's okay.
And all we can do in the end is hope that we end up with the right regrets.
All those years sober.
- I had no idea.
- Because you weren't here.
You can have too many years sober and not enough days.
One drink is too many, 20 is not enough.
If you don't want to slip, don't go to slippery places! - What is he doing? - Poor me, poor me, - pour me another drink! - Stop.
Peter, you're scaring me now.
I have platitudes as long as my arm, sweetheart.
I can keep going all day.
Keep your side of the street clean.
Hot, hungry, - angry, lonely - Just stop.
I don't know where my car is.
Oh, don't worry about that now.
Don't worry about it? You could have killed somebody.
Might have, for all you know.
We're not going to fix anything sitting around here.
Come on, I'll take you home.
What's left of it.
Honestly, it works a treat.
- The dummy fairy? - Yeah.
- Really? - They fall for it hook, line and sinker.
It's worked with all my kids.
Just try it.
I might just do that.
Oh, never ends, does it, this parenting malarkey? Well, if you keep squeezing them out, no, it don't.
(LAUGHING) You know, Jonjo was coming into our bed up until last year.
He'd crawl up in the middle.
We'd wake up in the morning, there he'd be.
So, when are you heading back home, do you know? Um Not sure yet.
Soon.
You and Dermott seem to have hit it off.
You get on well.
I suppose we do, yeah.
They were very close, him and Lance.
Must be hard for him, losing him like that.
Yeah, it must be.
Is it something that he's talked to you about or Not really.
Not really? He's never said anything, no.
That seems odd, that he wouldn't.
You don't think? Maybe it's a private matter.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe you're right.
Listen, I've got to get the tea on because I've got to pick Tommy up soon and then I might even go down to the harbour, see if I can spot that whale.
Nice talking to you, though.
Yeah.
We should do it again sometime.
Yeah, that'd be lovely.
Nobody takes their first drink after 18 years for no reason.
I just needed to take the edge off.
I missed it, that's all it was.
(SIGHS) I don't believe you.
Why don't you put the radio on? I don't want the radio on.
(GROANING) Don't you touch me.
Don't you dare touch me! (CAR DOOR OPENS) I'm gonna walk back.
- No.
- I'm fine.
I just need some air.
I'm not letting you walk.
Let him go.
I just need the air.
You'll be grand.
You will, Adeen.
Then why do I always feel so sad? Well, lots of reasons, I suppose.
There's all this business.
And you'll be missing your Double G.
And because you're a teenager.
It's part of the deal, I'm afraid.
Was that why you did it? See, you're a clever girl, Adeen.
An intelligent girl.
And that'll be part of your problem.
That's what they say, don't they? The clever people, they can never be happy because they're always I saw my da.
You saw your da what? With Kieran.
- Is he gay? - No, he's not gay.
- Why are you being so calm? - I'm just being This isn't something that you can go about telling people.
You know that, don't you, Adeen? I'm too young for secrets? That's what you said.
You're not that young.
(WHALE SINGING) Ask me what you came to ask me.
The boy I raised for 33 years turns around and tells me, "Actually, Da, I'm not yours.
I never was.
" And you knew.
You knew.
- Don't drink that in here.
- Why not? My name's Peter.
- I'm an alcoholic.
- (SCOFFS) You went to London, you watched my wife miscarry and you scooped up another baby like it was a bag of flour.
My baby's dead.
And nobody ever told me.
You never told me.
- It wasn't like that.
- You went to London.
I went to London to support my niece because she needed me.
I went to London to support your wife because you were having it off with another woman.
I didn't know Iris had lost the baby until I got there.
So don't you dare stand there and tell me that what I did was wrong.
If you'd had the good grace to keep your carnal urges in check, your baby might still be alive today.
It was the hurt.
The grief.
The betrayal.
That's why Iris lost the baby.
It was your fault, Peter.
Not mine.
Not Iris's.
Not anyone else.
You You and your dirty little secret.
Stop.
What I did, I did for Iris.
I did it for good, for this family.
What you've done, your wicked deeds I said stop.
People need to know the truth.
That's exactly what they don't need.
The truth here can only cause ill and harm.
- People need to know.
- Know what? That you helped to kill that little girl? That you and Roisin are responsible for Mouse's death? Because that's the reason that Iris took the boat out that night.
You, the reason Iris drank.
You, the cause of Mouse's death.
It's all you, Peter.
You poisoned this family.
All I've ever done was try to make it right.
So here's what I suggest you do.
Pull yourself together.
Walk away.
Keep your mouth shut.
And hope and pray that the truth never comes out.
Because if it does, Eileen will know the real reason why her daughter died.
No.
It has not escaped my attention that you and Eileen have become close lately.
We're just friends.
Does she know that? (SIGHS) Everything you've touched to wrack and ruin.
So now, sweep this under the rug where it belongs.
(SIGHS) He's not my son.
Peter.
Peter, that's exactly what he is.
You raised him.
It's not just Dermott.
I lost two children yesterday.
My baby.
Was it A boy.
- How long did he live for? - He didn't.
It was stillborn.
Where Where is he? He would have been buried.
Taken care of.
A little sleight of hand and here's a new one.
Just like that.
And you sleep at night? I sleep soundly.
That was my boy.
Dermott is yours.
Blood or not, he's yours.
Don't lose him now.
(GRUNTS) Hey, Dermott, do you reckon you could say a prayer? Well, not if you don't fancy it, you know.
- Let's pray together.
- Right.
Loving Father, I entrust myself to your care this day.
Loving Father, I entrust myself to your care this day.
Guide with wisdom and skill the hands and minds of the medical people who will administer in Your name.
Guide with wisdom and skill - the minds of the - (KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Sorry to interrupt.
- No, that's all right.
So are we, uh Are we good to go? Well, we reviewed your scans this morning at a multi-disciplinary meeting following your MRI.
Originally, we decided to proceed with needle biopsy.
- Right.
- After careful consideration, we now believe a partial tumour extraction is the best way forward.
Yeah, I know.
But we agreed, though, didn't we These increasing visions and hallucinations are, to be blunt, highly unusual.
These escalating symptoms from mass effects are of great concern, Alfie.
You understand? Partial removal of the tumour will relieve some of the pressure.
- Partial removal? - I'm afraid so.
What Well, hold on, then.
Does that mean I'm not going home tomorrow? DOCTOR: Well, in terms of recovery, we'll be looking at weeks rather than days, yeah.
Kathleen.
Are you sure you got this right, Doc? We're all in agreement this is the best way forward, yes.
Can you just give us a minute, yeah? Is that okay? - Of course.
Yeah.
- All right.
Thank you.
- Should I call her? - No, no, no.
Um It No, if you don't mind, if you could go to the house and bring her here, 'cause she needs to hear it from me.
Of course, yeah.
What should I say? Don't worry.
- Leave it to me.
- All right.
- Oh, the car keys.
They're in my jacket.
- Okay.
And, um, tell Kat I'm sorry, yeah? You've no reason to be sorry.
- I'll be back soon, okay? Okay.
- Right.
Dermott? (STAMMERING) I don't want to die.
I know.
But God is with you.
(DOOR CLOSES) - Peter? - Bernie.
Where were you yesterday? Uh, I wasn't feeling too good.
- You okay? - You should see the other fellow.
(LAUGHS) - Well, you look awful.
- I have a little something for the baby.
- I'll drop it round.
- Oh, thanks.
Are you sure you're okay? I'm fine.
You? Just going to see Agnes.
See if she'll take him for a few hours on the weekend.
Ah, no, I wouldn't.
She's not so well, either.
I think she might have picked up whatever I had.
Oh.
- Right.
- How's he doing? - He's great.
- (BOTH CHUCKLING) Listen, Lance, did he seem okay to you? At the pub? - Well, you should talk to Dermott.
- Dermott? Yeah, he was the last one to see Lance alive.
He saw him that morning.
- Dermott? - Yeah, they were due to talk that morning about something or other.
Go and ask him yourself.
I saw Bernadette earlier.
I was out running.
So You know what? I don't want to break up a family.
Especially not yours.
And whatever this is, it's not It's not worth the damage it could do.
Do you agree? Yeah.
What now? I'll head back to New York.
This is a nice place to visit.
But it's not my home.
Not any more.
If that's what you want to do.
(MOBILE RINGING) Kieran speaking.
Uh Hang on.
I have to take this, so Yeah? I know I'm exhausted.
I've got baby brain.
My boobs are leaking.
I can barely think straight.
- But I know I'm right.
- (BABY FUSSING) It was a non-suspicious death.
Which means they weren't looking for anything suspicious.
I need to know you're hearing me.
You better see this.
I was about to call you.
Is that (SIGHS) What's he doing? He's deleting your emails.
- Come on! - (CARS HONKING) (DIALLING PHONE) (LINE RINGING) (MOBILE RINGING) (CHILDREN LAUGHING) Hello? Why didn't you say anything before? - About Peter? - I don't have time I want to know.
He was always a drinker.
You know that.
- Yeah, but what happened? - (SIGHS) Well After Iris, he just went downhill.
Yeah, but he got out of it himself.
Yeah.
Did that all by himself.
- How did you know? - What? Know where to find Peter? (SIGHS) Hey.
Hey.
- Coffee? - No, thanks.
Don't blame you.
- Tastes like crap.
- (LAUGHS) Same as everything else here.
This is not New York, Kieran.
Yeah.
I got that.
Did you get the money in the bank? - I'll do it tomorrow.
- (SCOFFS) Tomorrow will be too late.
Then it'll be too late.
I've been busy myself, you know.
- Ro, I'll do it tomorrow, first thing.
- (SIGHS HEAVILY) Ro (GRUNTS) What, you're just gonna ignore me now? - (SIGHS) - Yeah, well, what's new, huh? Just go away, Padraig.
Oh, you have no idea how I would like to do just that.
Why don't you go? What's keeping you here? Certainly not me.
Go! If you hate me so much, if you have absolutely no respect for me at all, - why didn't you leave years ago? - I did.
Oh, I'm sorry, I - I didn't mean - Yes, you did.
Dermott.
Are you there? DERMOTT: Kathleen! There's a whale out there.
Ffion, they're calling it.
Listen, Kathleen, you've got to come with me.
All right.
- Where did you get that? - Get what? What do you want to talk to me about? - Dermott? - That was my mother's shawl.
That - That was Iris's.
- Oh, I didn't know.
Sorry, I was cold.
- No, it's fine.
- Here you are.
No, it's fine.
I told you.
(MOBILE RINGING) Dermott, you need to pick up.
Bernie Look.
Down there.
Come on, let's go.
Dougie.
It's just that me and Bernie were sitting in the garden - Bernie? - Yeah.
And she started acting really weird, like asking me loads of questions and that.
- About what? - About Lance.
And you.
(LAUGHS) Listen, uh Why don't we go and see that whale? - Uh, I can't, I - Put this on 'cause it's gonna be cold out there.
Right? And we can go out in Peter's boat.
Come on, come on.
Dermott, I'm gonna get me trousers wet.
Why don't we just get some food and watch it from up there? Look, you're either coming or you're not, okay? Okay.
(MOBILE RINGING) Who is it? Who keeps calling? No one.
Let's go.
Dermott! Stop! Dermott.
Hey! Dermott, what are you doing? Stop! (SIGHS) Why don't we go back and talk to Bernie? Hello? Coast Guard, please.
- All right.
Cheers, mate.
- Thanks.
- Are we all set? - No, I'm still waiting.
How much wiggle room have we got, Doc? Little, I'm afraid.
We don't want to lose our slot.
Oh, no, I know but there's, um There's There's no one about at the moment.
Is there someone else we can phone? No.
It's up to you, Alfie.
You sister's in the shower, so I want to talk to you.
You need to sit down.
I'm really tired, Mam.
You need to sit down.
I had Peter here this afternoon and he's been drinking.
I know.
Then you know how much danger you're in.
(SCOFFS) What Peter does or doesn't do has nothing to do with me.
- I'm afraid it does, my girl.
- Why? Mouse.
How could you put that on me? Oh, don't play the innocent with me, Roisin.
I'm too long in the tooth for it.
Peter won't say anything.
With a drink in him, that man is capable of anything.
If Eileen finds out the reason Iris took the boat out that night, if she finds out why her daughter died (SIGHS) What do you want me to do about it? - Fix it.
- How? You are going to help me send Eileen back to the United States.
She's only staying here because of Cois Dara and that stupid cookery school so we'll make it go away.
(EXCLAIMS SOFTLY) I can't handle this.
You'll handle it.
That's exactly what you'll do.
- With me.
- I'm not exiling my sister, Mam.
Why would I do that? Why would you want to do that? Because he's coming for us.
(SNIFFS) Is this to do with what happened to Lance? Did you do something? Dermott, what did you do? (GRUNTS) Look at me, Dermott! Dermott? (MONITOR BEEPING) (GASPS) It's stuck! - Kathleen! - (SCREAMS) Kathleen! Kat! Hold on.
Hold on.
It's me.
(GRUNTS) (MONITOR BEEPING) (MONITORS BEEPING RAPIDLY) We might have a problem here.
