Red Rock (2015) s01e27 Episode Script

Well what would you prefer? Paedophile? Superintendent James McKay, Red Rock.
I need to report a death in custody.
We arrested that man together, what happened after that was just an accident.
I will find out what's gone on here.
You have my husband's blood on your hands.
See, see they what did Him and his friends, they're at this every day, they think it's a big laugh.
Please Mister Keogh, just calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down, d'you know how much all this is costing me, because of him? Just step back.
Why are you taking his side? I'm not taking his side.
He's the little scumbag, not me.
That's enough.
I'm talking to the organ grinder, not the monkey.
Now, now, there's no need for that.
See this, this is what's wrong with the country, scumbags like him have all the rights.
I said step back.
He can do what he wants and you lot will turn up and do feck all.
When I say step back, I mean step back.
Okay idiot? Sharon!! Adrijan Come here.
I have to finish these reports.
Will you come here now.
You see what that is? Yeah, a letter to McKay.
Look at the logo.
It's from GSOC.
That's the findings from our inquiry.
You don't know that.
What else would they be sending over to McKay? I'm telling you, our future on the job lies in that envelope.
Now you're just being melodramatic.
I'm not.
It's d-day.
What was that all about? It's not the 1990s, you can't be at that craic.
Okay, maybe I over-reacted a little.
There's no maybe or little about it.
He's calmed down a bit now.
If I was you, I'd go back in there and apologise.
No way.
Why not? Because he's an idiot.
That's no excuse, half the job is dealing with idiots, it's probably on the recruiting poster.
He called that kid a scumbag.
He was a scumbag.
And I warned him to step back, twice.
He ignored me, and then he pushed me.
Look Sharon, sometimes you just have to suck it up and say sorry.
Because it's the smart thing to do.
I'm sick of always having to suck it up.
He's an idiot, I'm not apologising.
Come on, hurry up.
We can't run away from this.
If McKay has the results, we're going to find out one way or the other.
I'm not running away.
I've never seen you so keen to get out and walk the beat.
If this is our last day It's not going to be our last day.
But if it is.
I don't want to be here, writing arrest reports.
You never write the reports, I do.
Come on you know what I mean? I want to be out there, in uniform, making arrests.
Doing proper police work, stuff I signed up to do.
Yeah.
Boss wants to see you two.
Now please.
The GSOC report finds that in this case you did not adhere to standard guidelines in relation to the checking of prisoners.
And it cannot rule out that this may have been a factor in the death of Gerard Curry.
But GSOC also acknowledges that you were placed in an extraordinary situation due to under-staffing, and the incident in reception.
Also the coroner has found that Mister Curry had an underlying heart condition and cannot say for certain that his death would have been prevented, even if he had been checked on sooner.
So on the basis of all that the Commissioner has decided not to pursue any kind disciplinary action.
Yessss.
There is nothing to celebrate.
Yes sir.
No-one comes out of this with any credit.
The Commissioner has advised that extreme caution be taken in every aspect of our operation.
That means everyone is on their best behaviour.
Yes, Sarge.
Because we are all under the spotlight now, the whole station.
Yes sir.
Go.
Sorry I'm late, slept in.
If you're going to be late, at least do me the courtesy of making up an excuse.
I was woken during the night by a naked man in me bedroom.
That's better.
No, I really was.
My flat mate brought home some guy, and he sleepwalked in to me room.
Took half an hour to get him back into the right bedroom.
Think I'd have been tempted to hold onto him.
Not if you'd seen him.
God it's been so long since I've been out with anyone.
I could set you up with someone I know if you like? Thanks, but I think your friends might be a little young for me.
My brother Keith's your age, he's charming, funny, and kind.
Let me think about it.
Should see your face.
How did it go? Yeah, grand Sarge, the young fella had legged it, but we managed to get his name from the shopkeeper, were going to see if we can track down an address.
Make sure you do.
We've been getting calls about those kids for weeks, I want it sorted.
Yes Sarge.
Yeah okay, gotta go, bye.
You two, pints tonight, on me.
Must be some occasion, if you're buying.
GSOC cleared us.
You're looking at free men.
Fair play.
Yeah, that's great.
You think this is all great fun? No Sarge.
Gerard Curry has left a widow and three children.
Do you think they have much to celebrate today? No Sarge.
Don't let me catch you at this again.
If you're here to break the good news, I already heard.
Will you wait in the car for me for a second, good girl.
No, I just wanted to come in person and tell you how sorry I am about everything that happened.
Easy to be gracious now.
Your men have been exonerated.
I shouldn't have expected anything else.
I know how these things work with you lot, one hand washes the other.
GSOC is an independent body.
He should never have been arrested.
Never.
He'd be alive now if your men had shown an ounce of compassion, or common sense.
All he did was park on a double yellow line.
That's his big crime, that's the reason he was in that cell when he died alone.
I can only imagine how hard this has been for you and your family.
Do you have children Superintendent? No, not yet.
Then you can't even begin to imagine.
See my children, on their birthdays, at Christmas, special occasions in their lives, he'll be missing.
They have been robbed of all that.
I'm sorry.
I truly am.
The last time I saw Gerard, we fought, over something stupid.
Our final words were in anger.
And I can't change that.
Your job is to serve the public.
Right now it doesn't feel like you've served my family Superintendent.
Cool heads this time.
Yeah.
I mean it Sharon, domestics are a minefield without you flying off the handle as well.
I said yeah, I'm fine.
Hey! We're on a call out.
No we're on a call out, Sarge wants you back inside.
If this is a wind up And she did not look happy.
It's true.
Is there something wrong Sarge? You're on S.
O.
You, come with me.
Is this the officer you mean? Yeah, she's the one that assaulted me.
What else did they say? Nothing.
Just I wasn't to leave the station, and they'd see me later.
Why couldn't you just say sorry like I told you? What are you going to tell them? The truth I suppose.
You might want to do better than that.
Hello.
Hi.
You've really spiced up the menu.
So what's the dish of the day, besides myself of course? Is that the best you can do Westlife? It wasn't me.
The nickname's gone viral.
Flying without wings.
It's a compliment.
Of course it is.
Now if you want to take a seat, I'll come and take your order.
That was harsh.
But effective.
I think he likes you.
Not nearly as much as he likes himself.
He is cute though.
I'm not into Pandas.
Pandas? The kind of guy who eats, shoots and leaves.
I've spoken to Mister Keogh, explained that your behaviour was out of character, and he's decided not to pursue a formal complaint.
Thank you sir I'm not finished.
Your use of force today was excessive and unacceptable.
We are here to serve the public.
Yes sir.
And myself, Sergeant Tyrell and Sergeant McGonigle all share similar concerns about your recent performance.
You've been making uncharacteristic mistakes.
I was given the wrong address for that warrant.
The point is your behaviour has been erratic.
And if I'm being honest, I'm concerned that you have rushed back to work too soon after the attack.
Honestly, I'm fine.
I disagree.
You've been through a very traumatic experience, one that takes time to heal.
Time that you have not given yourself.
That's why I suggest you take some time off.
Please sir, no Please don't view this as some sort of punishment Sharon.
I'd rather stay working Sir.
I appreciate that.
But I have to think about the welfare of the public and your fellow officers, and if I feel your presence here is putting them at risk It won't be, I'll be really good.
Please listen.
The decision has been made.
You will take leave.
But as I said, please don't view this as some sort of punishment.
We are trying to do what's best for you.
When do I take this leave? Paudge will be fine on his own for the rest of the shift, and we'll roster in cover from tomorrow.
You mean take it now? Yes, today.
I told you I'd be here long after you're gone.
You do know what's going here don't you? You realise you've already got one foot out the door? Never a good sign when your Super sends you off on compulsory sick leave with phrases like "erratic behaviour" and "uncharacteristic results" ringing in your ears.
I mean from there it's only a tiny hop skip and jump to "unstable" and "deluded", because that's what you are.
Everyone knows it.
They all know exactly what you are.
A crazy bitch.
Bastard.
Sharon come off him, cool it Sharon, Sharon.
Calm down, calm down.
Are you alright? Wooo, man you're not going to believe what just happened, it was insane.
Sharon went mental, proper mental.
Went for Brian, Paudge and Sergeant Tyrell had to drag her off him, mad mad stuff What is wrong with you? What? Sharon's our friend.
Yeah I know that.
And when she heard GSOC had cleared us, she was happy, really happy for us.
And now you think her misfortune is great fun.
I'm just telling you what happened.
No you're not.
You saw what happened Paudge.
She hit me, but I didn't lay a finger on her.
You saw that? Mmm.
I never touched her.
So why would she hit you? No idea.
It's not like Sharon to behave like this.
No, no, no, not usually no.
But she completely lost it this morning with a punter, he was in here earlier screaming blue murder.
Yeah.
And the boss was sending her home on sick leave, he's worried she hasn't been the same since she was attacked.
I haven't noticed anything.
There was that thing about the warrant being wrong, and ring that went missing.
Anyway all I know is the boss wouldn't be sending her home, if there wasn't a very good reason.
Sure I just went into the staff room, she was getting ready and I asked could I give her a hand and (boom) she just went for me.
I didn't retaliate, you saw it Paudge? Yeah.
Many officers experience some kind of sort traumatic stress after the kind of assault you suffered.
Sharon if the job is getting too much for you It's not that.
We want to help you Sharon, but you have to let us.
So if there is something wrong, you must tell us.
Is this about the attack? No sir.
Please tell us what's wrong Sharon.
It's Sergeant McGonigle.
Do you hold him responsible for the attack? Yes, exactly.
He's to blame for it.
Because he was there too, and left you alone? No, because he set the whole thing up.
He arranged it, he arranged for me to be attacked.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
Why would he do something like that? Because I saw him on CCTV, kissing a girl, she's underage.
She's only fifteen.
I'm certain they're having a sexual relationship.
And when he found out I knew, he tried everything to intimidate me.
He bullied me, and threatened me.
And had me attacked, he was the one who made me ask for the transfer.
He wants me out at any cost.
This girl you saw him with Rachel Reid.
Liam Reid's daughter.
Why didn't you bring this to us before? I know, I should have.
But I was afraid no-one would believe me.
But the important thing is now you know.
So you can do something about it.
Arrest him and charge him.
We can stop him.
What? What's wrong? You coming for that pint? No.
If this is about what I said about Sharon.
It's not about Sharon.
What then? When Curry died you were upset, we both were.
And now, because we're in the clear, you're acting like it's nothing.
A big joke to you.
I'm not.
You are Sean, you are.
Going for drinks to celebrate, flirting with girls.
That was just a mess.
Gerard Curry is still dead.
And his family are probably feeling even worse today because no-one is being held accountable for his death.
You want us to be charged? No I don't want us to be charged, just sometimes I'd like you to think, before you act like an idiot Sean.
Sharon, Sergeant McGonigle came to see me And he has made a serious accusation of harassment against you.
What? He claims you have developed a romantic attraction to him.
And that you acted on it, making several propositions.
No, that's crazy.
And when he rejected your advances, you became angry and obsessed with making trouble for him.
These are all lies, can't you see he's trying to discredit me.
That's all.
He says you threatened him and that you planned to make up all kind of stories about him having a sexual relationship with a close family friend, and even that he arranged the attack on you.
It's not true, I swear.
Sergeant McGonigle claims you swore you would ruin his marriage and his career with lies.
