Rebus (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

1
You forgetting 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.
You cannae give me what I want, Michael.
Just tell me what it is.
I don't want you.
I want my family back.
I love you, darling.
I love you, too. And I love you.
When Mum has her new baby,
I won't hit him.
There is a recklessness
to people nowadays.
It's thrill-seeking.
I actually know someone like that.
He has no reason to sail
quite so close to the wind.
You're a client
and you need cash.
Double your money in a couple of days.
Your credit's always good here.
Fuck!
He fucking bit me!
Andy Hey!
I'm all right
Andy! Please, come on!
It said on the telly this morning
that the one we shot was 27.
It was one of them.
Strang's here. I wouldn't go
on your own if I were you.
Take the heavy mob with you.
And tell Rebus I helped you out.
Get on the ground! Argh!
He said something else
about having a stag on?
Who the fuck says "stag on"?
People in the Army.
GUNSHOT He knows about
me robbing the flat.
He doesn't know about last night.
Yeah, what if he finds out?
You shot someone.
Why would you need to find Ger Cafferty?
I'm going to kill him.
Done well for himself.
Murdering and robbing people.
It'll be a pleasure to put
a bullet in his head, then.
I want to be the
one that does it.
Why do you want to be
the one that kills him?
Your brother blames me for
a polisman that got hurt.
A friend.
George Blantyre.
A bent copper.
A good man.
Who you tried to kill.
Rammed his car.
Put him in a wheelchair.
Fucking ruined his life,
that did.
George stole from me.
You knew about that.
Now he's dead.
And you're going to pay.
George is dead?
He killed himself.
Last night.
And you're responsible.
You're responsible, we both know that.
Argh It was you!
It was fucking you.
That's why I want to be
the one that does 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
I search for signs between the lines
Of right and wrong
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm ♪
We had no money.
Like literally nothing.
And there was drug dealers in a
flat across the road from the house.
And Michael robbed them.
Is that who did the shooting at
your house - the drug dealers?
I don't know.
Michael knows, though.
And what's he going to do?
What do you think
he's going to do?
Is John with him?
Chrissie,
we have to do something!
We have to stop them
doing something stupid.
What do you care?
What do you mean, what do I care?
Here
with all this
I mean, what's my life got
to do with you any more?
It's got everything
to do with me.
We're family Are we?
It's got to do with John.
And Sammy.
And Michael and the boys.
It's about all of us.
Yeah, but you're not one of
us any more. Not one of you?!
I am here! With you!
You know what's happening.
I know you do.
Michael tells you everything.
He's not like John.
He said something about
someone called Cafferty.
Cafferty?
Don't think you're
safe here, Rhona.
Do you know whose house this is?
No?
OK.
And I take it you didn't know
there was a seriously injured
person in the room upstairs?
What's that?
It's a gun, ma'am.
You won't know whose
gun this is, will you?
Well, not a problem.
We'll find out everything
we need to know here.
What happened to your nose?
It looks like someone bit you?
Doesn't it just?
Hello? Hi, Gill.
It's Rhona. John Rebus's ex-wife.
Rhona, of course. Er, it's been a while.
But this isn't a good time,
can I call you back later?
Well, no, no. It's important.
Have you seen John?
Do you know where he is?
Have you spoken to him?
No, I haven't seen him
since this morning.
What's happened?
Rebus's brother
is after Cafferty?
That's what she said.
Andy Rolland
Before, when I spoke to him,
he mentioned one of
Rebus's brother's friends.
I looked him up. Gary Campbell?
Had a conviction
for ringing cars.
Has a place on the north side of the
Forth near the Queensferry Crossing.
Do you want me to get
someone to check it out?
No.
We should check it out.
What's your plan on what
to do with his body?
We haven't really thought about that.
Dump him somewhere?
Tricky moving him, though.
In the drink?
Might get washed up.
Stick him under the floor?
You brought him here in that, eh?
Only a matter of time
before they trace it.
They'll search the place,
and they'll dig the floor up.
You see, if someone's going to
get caught for this, Michael
then the less of us here, the better.
We're in this together. I ken.
But there's nae point in
everybody going to jail.
You know?
I should do this.
Fuck that.
You heard what he said.
And you need to think
about your daughter, pal.
You should go.No.
You too, Cammy.
Fuck, no. I'm with you.
Me an' all.
Listen, if you really want to help,
you have to go.
Take it.
We can deal with this.
You can trust him?
He's my brother. He's not
going to do anything to me.
We're your brothers too, Mike.
Eh, go on!
Fuck off, the pair of you.
Was that money in that bag?
Aye, that's what this has all been about.
Right, give me the gun
and we can get this done.
Come on, I'll do it.No.
I'm going to do it. You're not doing it,
Michael. I won't let you.
Gun!
Stand aside, John.No.
No, I won't.
Why are you protecting him?
I'm not protecting him,
I don't want you ruining your life!
A minute ago, you wanted
to shoot him yourself!
I wanted to get the gun off you.
Fuck.
Fuck did you get that from,
anyway?
It's a gift.
Fae Afghan.
When we were over there
training their army,
one of the officers
gave it to me.
He was a good lad.
Taliban have probably killed him now.
That day you punched me.
Fu I said sorry about that.No.
Brought me to my senses.
It woke me up.
That day, when I
robbed those boys,
the drug dealers in the flat
I felt alive again.
Do you miss it?
The Army? No
not the Army.
Being deployed.
I only did one tour, Michael.
I was never happier than
when I was deployed.
I did two tours in Iraq,
and two in Helmand and
I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it.
That's what you're really
not allowed to say.
That you enjoyed a war.
You have to come back and be traumatised.
Fuck that!
I fucking loved it!
Waking up every day and knowing that
all you had to do was stay alive.
No bills. No nagging.
Someone points a gun at you,
you shoot them.
They kill one of us, we kill ten of them.
You know what I mean.
You've done it, too. You told me.
It's the past, Michael.
It's the past.
The past's never the past.
I knew what I was
when I was there.
I knew what I was for.
What life is.
All of this
Cars and fucking houses and jobs!
It's all bullshit!
It's not real!
There! There is fucking real!
This?!
It's all an illusion!
He's right. No!
No! You keep your mouth shut!
He's right. Shut up!
It's all bullshit.
You and me are the same, Michael.
I'm not the same as you.
Aye, you are.
We see what this society is.
It's rigged against people like us.
People who who try to take
something for themselves.
Shut the fuck up, you! Shut the fuck up!
This isn't the way, Michael.
So, what is? You give me the gun,
and we walk out of here.
We all walk out of here and
forget this ever happened.
He's not going to go to
the polis, are you, Ger?
I fucking hate the polis.Right.
It's not too late.
We can stop this now.
And everything's fine.
Wait, and you protect him?!
You hide him behind the law?
I have to.
And what about Andy?
We'll find whoever did that,
and we'll put them in jail.
They came to my house!
They could have killed my kids!
Chrissie! I know.
I know, and you have to
think about them now.
Hah! Right, Chrissie and the boys.
Think about what you're
going to do to them.
This isnae the answer, Michael.
Look, you're going to hand yourself in
for robbing those
two young lads
and we'll sort it out.
Everything'll go back to normal.
I can't go back to normal.
Michael! No!
Fucking enough!
Enough!
I'll not let you do this
to yourself, Michael!
Fuck's sake.
Fucking get up, Ger.
It missed you by a mile.
He's not getting up.
Cafferty!
Let him die. Cafferty?
Fuck.
We need to untie him.
You tried to help me, John.
I won't forget.
Fuck, Michael. Wait!
I'll pay you back.
Michael!
Fuck.
Everything OK?
I think John's brother's got
himself into something bad.
I think he might've robbed a drug dealer,
a gangster-type guy.
What gangster did he rob?
Well, a guy I heard John
talk about, actually.
Someone named Cafferty.
Ger Cafferty? You don't know him?
No, no.
I mean, I've heard of his name.
I know he owns a load of
properties around town.
I think he even tried to invest
some money with us a while back,
but we gave him short shrift.
These guys are predators.
You need to keep them at arm's length.
I phoned one of John's colleagues, Gill.
She's his boss now,
and I just, I passed on everything
that Chrissie told me
You did the right thing.
What?
I don't know.
I don't think I want them here.
This it?
In here!
Here!
John! Christ!
Call an ambulance!
I need an ambulance.
Here, let me Ferry Toll Road.
Come on.
Come on, you fucking arsehole,
you breathe.
Shift.
Well done.
So, this is your chance to tell
me exactly what's going on.
I came here. I found Cafferty.
He was here on his own.
And who told you he was here?
Had a hunch.
Really?
Where's your brother? Where's Michael?
I don't know, Gill.
No
I'm not helping you here, John.
Not any more.
This isn't over.
How did you find the
people that killed Andy?
It was Darryl Christie.
He gave me the address of a house.
Shaun Strang was there, too.
You'll be flavour of the month.
Good for you.
Darryl wanted me to tell you he helped.
Said you'd appreciate it.
Darryl?
What is he after?
He knows we're onto him.
Be careful.
He'll think you owe him something now.
Thanks for seeing me
at such short notice.
I think I might have done something daft.
I saved someone's life.
And I don't think I should've.
This is a man I hate, though
What made you save him?
I thought I had to, to save someone else.
But
I don't know, I think maybe
I would've anyway.
I think I used to think that there's
rules and there's laws, right?
The law is whatever society
says it is at any given point.
But the rules are the rules.
They're older, there's
always been these rules.
And blood is thicker than water.
Don't grass on your friends.
An eye for an eye.
Criminals follow the rules.
I used to think that sometimes
they need a reminder
that the police
know the rules, too.
What do you think, now?
Think I need to be a bit more
strict with myself, Andrea.
Fundamentalist?
Like um, John Knox?
Aye.
John Knox.
But like a fun version of him.
A fun John Knox?
Aye, a fundamentalist Presbyterian,
but knows how to party, y'know?
Likes a drink and a laugh.
How is the drinking?
Aye, fine.
I'm drunk now.
That's a joke.
Obviously, that's a joke.
And how is your family?
Your daughter? Her mum?
Good.
Really good.
Sammy's got a trust fund now.
Mm-hm.
So, she's really safe.
Aye.
That's right.
No FaceTime?
No FaceTime.
Hopefully, I'll get my
proper phone back tomorrow,
then we can FaceTime
our faces off.
When am I coming to stay with you next?
I don't know.
You'll need to ask your mum.
Sammy, let me speak, darling.
When am I next staying with Dad?
I'll take it now.
Mum wants to speak to you.
Love you, Dad. Love you, too.
How are you, John?
I'm fine, um you take this number, too,
in case you need to get in touch. I will.
Sammy was saying that Chrissie
and the boys have gone?
I just thought it
was for the best.
Where are they now?
Lockie put them in The Balmoral.
What do you think's going to happen?
I don't know.
I can't get involved.
We're going to arrest Michael,
and then we'll see.
Oh, God. Is he going to jail?
I think so.
I think so.
I can't help him.
He's on his own now.
What happens now?
I'm going to hand myself in.
No. No, you're not. No.
I have to. Oh,
who told you that? Like John?
Do you think he'd do the same
thing for you? Aye, he would.
Mm.Aye, he helped me.
He didn't have to, but he did.
He could've landed me right in it,
but he didn't.
He made things worse for himself.
I owe him. I owe him something.
I don't want you to go to prison.
Hey! It'll be fine.
Neil's got the money.
And then he'll get it to
you when the time's right.
You should take the money.
Take the drugs money.
Use it to get away from here.
You remember when you were
working on the circuit,
you told me there was
guys who just went about
travelling from place to place.
You you could do that.
No Yeah, and
You could, and we'll come and find
you when things have quietened down.
Michael, this whole fucking
country is falling apart.
There is There's nothing
worth staying here for!
Wait, what about the boys?
Do you know what? They'll
they'll understand.
Ye
They will.
Michael, they will.
Hey
I'm sorry! Hey, no
No.I've fucked everything!
No, no, you haven't. You haven't.
I have! No, you haven't.
You just tried to change things Aye,
but I've made it worse!
Yeah, but you didn't But,
Michael, you just tried,
you didn't just Fuck!
..you didn't just accept things.
And that is the problem
with people these days,
they just accept all the fucking
shit that is thrown at them.
You tried.
I love you, Michael.
I love you.
We'll be all right.
HE SNORTS Aye, you've had a right result.
What's happening? I was hearing something
about your friend Ger Cafferty, Darryl.
Aye? What did you hear?
Well, I heard he might
be in a spot of bother?
Right, interesting.
I'll see if I hear
anything myself.
Well, I wondered if it was anything to do
with our potential
little windfall.
Yeah, there might've been a
wee bit of a problem there.
What kind of problem?
The seed funding's gone.
Aye, you win some, you lose some,
then some. Don't you?
I don't Darryl, no.
This is just pocket change to you, pal.
You can take the hit.
Well, maybe I don't want to.
You don't want to fall
out either, do you?
Well, I don't want to fall out, Darryl.
But just remember who knows
where all your money is.
Don't you fucking threaten me,
you lanky cunt!
Hello?
Hello?!
Fuck you.
I didnae see you going to
the polis to get me out.
Needs must.
And that detective who works
with Rebus, er, Siobhan,
I think she might be all right,
someone we can deal with.
You're going to put your
hand up for McJagger?
That's what you said to me, wasn't it,
when we were back in the house?
It might be an attempted murder, though.
That's what my brief said.
You're putting your fucking hand up,
OK? You did chib him.
And there'll be no
comeback from Cafferty?
I'll speak to him about that.
But I'm sure it'll be fine,
as long as you keep your mouth shut.
You working with him now?
No, I'll never work for him.
Promise?
Trust me.
We got to be smart here.
We're in no position to do anything
about Cafferty at the minute.
We have to bide our time there.
Anyway, I'll never forget this, Shaun.
I'll make it worth your while.
Aye, I know.
I want 25 grand a year.
Fuck off,
I'm not paying you that.
You are, Darryl, it's the minimum wage.
Ten for every year you get.
And I'll invest it for you.
Talking of which, there's
something I need to take care of.
Was Darryl Christie just here?
Who?
Fucking sit down, you, you clown.
Oh, look who it is.
What are you doing here?
I was just leaving.
I said, what are you doing here?
What the fuck's going on?
Don't touch me, John.
It's your family you want.
Not me.
She's some girl, eh?
What are you up to?
I'm just offering my
condolences for George.
Poor woman. On her own now, eh?
You stay away from her.
YOU stay away from her.
It's you that hurt her.
My heart, on the other hand, is fine now.
They say it's a coronary artery spasm.
Aye?
It's your body telling you you're
getting too old for this game, Ger.
Ah, but, you see,
I'm not so sure.
I feel like I'm alive again.
Just like your brother, eh?
Where is he? Did you lift him?
I saved your life.
That's us quits.
It's not me you
need to worry about.
Your brother killed one of the Cochranes.
Has he not told you that?
Billy Cochrane's nephew
was in the warehouse
when your brother's team robbed my drugs.
And Michael shot him.
They'll find Michael,
wherever he ends up.
And if they don't find him,
they'll find his family.
I mean, I could put
in a word if you want?
Try and sort something out.
But that would depend
on you doing what I say.
Hello, it's Michael, leave me a message.
Michael, if you get
this number, phone me.
Don't hand yourself in
till you speak to me.
Answer the fucking phone!
Yeah?
Chrissie.
Where is he? Where's Michael?
I don't know.
You don't know? He's not
been in touch at all? No.
He's gone. Gone where?
He said, if I saw you, I should tell you,
he'll pay you back
for everything.
Areyou aware there was a previous
attack on James McJagger at 8.02am
on Monday, the 3rd of June?
No comment.
Where were you that morning?
No comment.
Were you at Darryl Christie's gym,
where you work?
No comment.
Shaun, we have a still that was
taken from a security camera
of you buying clothes from a
sports shop at Newcraighall.
These clothes are
the same clothes
that were worn by the men
who stabbed Mr McJagger.
Is that you, Shaun?
This photo's been
identified by an eyewitness.
Aye, it's me.
Siobhan!
Hey.
You're not forgetting I still
need to take that statement
about your sergeant.
Yeah, I know. I'll be around.
Right. Got it.
How about dinner tonight?
I'm busy. I promise not
to discuss the job.
The team are going for a drink.
I'm going with them.
Celebration, is it?
Yeah, small victories.
You get that?
Look, I could
It's just the team.
Right.
Your tribe?
My tribe.
Well, have fun.
Signed and sealed.
In trust till she's 21.
21?
Standard.
Should you not maybe make it 25?
25?
Yeah, I was quite mental in my
early twenties. Oh, now you tell me.
What, weren't you? No!
I thought you knew I was completely
boring right up until I met you.
I just don't want her to get it too
young and spend it all on drugs.
As long as she doesn't waste it,
I'm sure she'll be fine.
You're sure about this?
I've never been more sure
of anything in my life.
I can't believe you would
do something like this.
You're a wonderful man.
Expecting anyone?
No.Hmm. I'll go.
Next up, our baby's trust fund!
You are a lucky girl.
No, no, no.
No, Lockie! Lockie, no, don't leave me!
Don't leave me! Don't leave me,
you bastard! I need you!
Please, Lockie!
Fucking phone!
Come on!
Rhona? Please
John
John, Lockie's dead.
Please Rhona? Rhona!
Rhona, slow down. Where are you? Home.
Right, I'm on my way.
Rhona
Are you hurt? Is there
anyone else in the house?
I need to get you out
of the house, Rhona.
Rhona?
I need to get you out of
the house, OK? Come on.
What happened?
Someone came to the door.
They sho shot him.
OK.
Look, you stay here, OK?
I'm not going anywhere.
Police, please. John, the baby!
John
Can you?
Can you hold on a sec?
Rhona, what's wrong?
How is she?
She's had some bleeding.
You'll need to get it checked.
Sammy didn't see?
She was at her friend's.
They won't be able to stay here tonight.
They can stay with me.
Course.
They're your family.
I wanted them back.
But not like this.
Dad!
Wait!
What's going on?
Listen, your mum's in the car.
Why don't you go
and give her a hug?
Mum, what's wrong? Come here.
I love you. I love you, too.
I'm so sorry.
