Red Rock (2015) s01e36 Episode Script

Just come home Rachel, please come home.
PHONE RINGING Yeah, hello, Red Rock Garda Station.
Okay, where exactly are you right now? Yeah, yeah, I know where that is.
And what direction was she travelling last time you saw her? Excuse me? What sort of blinding light? I'm going to trace this phone call and you'll be done for wasting police time.
Everything okay? Yeah, just some time wasters.
Mum, hang on! Claire.
I was surprised to see you inside.
Just supporting an old friend.
James said you've been very good to Liam during all this.
Did he? Yeah, he said you printed the missing posters.
And offered the reward for any information that helps get Rachel back.
If someone you loved was missing, I'm sure you'd appreciate any help you could get? I would, I just never had you down for a philanthropist.
Well you're always asking me to be nicer.
And I never thought you listened.
I just hope Liam appreciates this new gentler you? I'm sure he appreciates all the help he's getting from everyone.
Now if there's nothing more you want to quiz me about? No, that's it for now.
Good, bye.
Joanna this is ridiculous, you can't stay in there all day.
You're wasting your time.
Ned's going to need something to eat soon.
What are social services going to think, when they hear you locked yourself and Ned in the bathroom? It won't help your case, Joanna, you know that.
I was only going to the chemist, I was trying to help him.
I know that, I know that.
Why don't you come out and we can have a talk.
It's not going to work Sean.
Joanna if you come out now, I won't put it in my report that you locked yourself in the bathroom.
Seriously? We'll forget it ever happened.
If you come out now I won't put anything.
SOUND OF DOOR UNLOCKING You're fixing that, and the other door too.
Another gobber? Yep.
I love it when they do that.
You missed a bit.
Too high up for the wiper, maybe the wind'll blow it off.
How much did you win? A fiver.
Yeah they're great, I only ever played them once and won 200.
(Garda Radio) Victor Alpha Base to all cars, a woman on Nashville terrace claims she saw Rachel Reid the day she disappeared, we need someone to go take a statement.
Victor Alpha base this is Zulu Victor 101, we'll take that.
(Garda Radio) Roger that Zulu Victor 101.
BUZZER RINGS Mel what are you doing here? What's wrong? You know what I don't get, they've been through Rachel's laptop and phone records and still nothing linking her to Brian, not one phone call or text.
If I hadn't seen it myself, I'd doubt there was anything going on between her and McGonigle.
He's no fool McGonigle.
Well he has to slip up soon, he has to.
What's going on? Mel come on whatever it is, you can tell me.
People are saying stuff, about you dad.
Okay, what kind of stuff? That you That you and Rachel You were seeing Rachel as a girlfriend.
Ah come on that's just nonsense.
I mean, she's my best mate, it's totally sick, it's disgusting.
It is, it is, I know it's disgusting it's disgusting the lies people spread.
But Dad people have put it on Facebook, about you and Rachel.
Just ignore it, that's all you can do.
Okay? Are you going to tell Ma about all this? Tell her what? There's nothing to tell.
Yeah and what if she hears the rumours from someone else, won't that be worse? Yeah, yeah, of course you're right.
I'll tell her when the moment is right.
Look at me.
You trust me, don't you? Yeah.
All this stuff with Rachel, I swear, it's just lies.
Awful lies.
You'll see.
Okay? Okay.
I love you sweetheart.
She says she only went to the chemist because Ned was sick.
She was getting him cough medicine.
Well get her ready, Social Services are coming to take Ned.
That's decided, that's definite? Seems Joanna has quite a history, of substance abuse and neglect.
She seemed fine to me.
The house was clean, except for the fire, Ned looks well looked after.
"Except for the fire"? I didn't get a feeling that Ned was being neglected.
It's out of our hands now.
Can't we talk to social services? They've made their decision, she can always appeal.
You'd better go in and tell her what's happening, give her a chance to say goodbye to Ned.
We need to take Ned.
You said we'd just talk to social services, that's what you said.
They've made their decision Joanna.
But you can appeal.
When? You'll have to speak to social services about that? It's not fair.
I haven't done a thing wrong in six months.
Been to all their meetings, done everything they asked me.
I'm sure that'll be taken into consideration.
It's not right.
You did leave Ned alone.
Only because I was going to the chemist for him.
And we'll put that in our report, we'll make sure they know.
We have to take Ned, if you want to say goodbye.
Hey, Neddy.
You are going on a big adventure with these two police men, okay? I don't want to go.
I know, but it'll be fine.
And you're a good boy, aren't you, Ned? Mammy please.
I'll see you really, really soon, okay buddy? Okay, come on Ned.
I love you, baby, you're in here, always.
You're my Neddy, yeah? Mammy.
It's okay, come on.
SOBBING Sarge.
We saw that witness on Nashville Terrace, she did see Rachel.
But it turns out it was the day before she went missing.
You got that statement from her? Absolutely skip.
Log it, we need to record our response to every call received.
Any calls since the appeal? A few, it's gone out on all the bulletins, so there should be plenty more.
Someone's bound to have seen her.
Just wanted to say thank you for giving me the kick in the arse I needed this morning.
I'm glad I could help.
We got a few calls after it, but nothing from Rachel.
Well I'm sure when she sees it, she'll get in touch.
It certainly was heart-felt.
It made me realise how difficult it was for Rachel, especially since Barbara died.
And that I haven't been there for her as much as should have been.
Well I'm sure you won't make that mistake again.
I gotta get back to work.
Thanks again, for everything.
PHONE RINGS Hi, it's me.
Rachel! Where are you? Honestly, I don't know, it's such a mess.
KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
Can I have a word boss? Sure, come in.
It's about me and the Rachel Reid case.
I'm not blind, I can see having me around here is causing the others to be a bit uncomfortable.
And I'm owed a few days off in lieu.
Please don't feel hounded into taking days off.
Can I be totally honest boss? Yeah, of course.
I had Mel in here this morning in bits, crying.
Some of her friends in school are spreading stories about me and Rachel, it's even online.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I haven't told Jules about any of this, but now I'm going to have to.
And I thought maybe I could do it this afternoon, before she finds out for herself.
And like I said it's time off that I'm due.
Yeah I mean, absolutely.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay, thanks.
We did what we had to do.
But where's that kid now? In some stranger's house crying for his mother.
He's safe is where he is.
I don't think he was in any danger with Joanna.
She left him alone and he nearly burned the house down.
All parents leave their kids alone sometimes.
All parents don't have a history of substance abuse and neglect.
Because she has a bad history, she doesn't deserve a second chance? Only reason they're taking Ned off her, is what she did in the past.
It's not right.
Well do you want to make that judgement call? Leave him with her and risk something happening? We had no choice, especially after Gerard Curry and GSOC.
By the book, that's what the boss said.
I hate my job sometimes.
Fancy a pint later Sarge? No can't, some other time okay.
The way they're treating him, like some criminal, it's a joke.
Hi.
You're a sight for sore eyes! Just passing through, waiting on a new client.
Anyone interesting? Sandra Bennett.
Sandra the Ballybrack biter? She's a dote, you'll love her.
You know my rule of thumb is, anyone with their own police nickname can't be that bad.
Any news on Rachel Reid? Nothing solid yet.
I passed Brian on my way in, could barely look at him.
How did he seem to you? Stressed.
Not surprising, he's going home to tell Jules about the Rachel Reid accusations.
That's not a conversation you want to have.
No.
You've never said whether you think Brian's guilty or not.
Honestly, I don't know, it's such a mess.
Either one of my sergeants is having a sexual relationship with an underage girl, or one of my officers has a crazy vendetta against another.
And I should have seen it sooner.
You came, I've missed you so much.
What the hell are you playing at? I had to call your ordinary phone cos the other one isn't working.
It just rings out.
You've been keeping your regular turned phone off yeah? It ran out of battery.
I promise, I haven't broken any more rules.
There are search parties out looking for you everywhere.
Frogmen trawling the sea, your dad and sister went on television.
I know I saw it, I was going to call them, let them know I'm fine.
No, you get in touch with no-one, I'll try and work out how to get out of this mess.
Well you're here now, so that's all that matters.
Were you worried about me? What? Did you wonder where I was? You don't get this do you? You made everything a million times worse.
I did it for us, I couldn't face going home.
I just couldn't handle it anymore.
I just couldn't cope.
Look Rachel my whole life is on the line here.
My job, my family, I could go to prison.
How about we go to France? What? We'd be legal there.
I'm not going to France with you Rachel.
Look we can't be together, not now, after what you've done.
Don't say that! What did you think? That we'd ride off into the sunset? It's not going to happen.
You love me, you said so, you said you'd leave your wife for me.
Don't! If we can't be together, then I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Rachel, Rachel, Rachel.
You're still my girl, yeah? But even if you wanted to tell someone I wouldn't.
Even if you did, no-one's going to believe you over me.
I know, because you're a police officer and I'm just a schoolgirl.
Yeah, yeah.
And the last thing I want is to have to do is to tell your Dad how you came on to me, wearing all those tarty clothes.
You said you liked how I dress.
I do, but it doesn't matter what I think.
It's what everyone else thinks.
How is your Dad going to feel knowing that you behaved like that? How about your friends? Who was there for you when you lost your mum? You were.
And this is how you repay me? I'm sorry.
Putting me in this situation? I'm sorry.
I'm really really sorry.
Look you should have thought about that Rachel before you pulled your disappearing act.
There's nothing I can do.
You see that, don't you? You see McGonigle has gone home early? So? How many times have you ever seen him miss work or go home early? Never.
Exactly, something's up.
Here we are chasing up every phone call and no-one's keeping an eye on Brian.
If anyone's going to lead us to Rachel, it's him.
Paudge, a few of us are going for pints later, if you fancy it? You're pathetic.
You're a stupid bitch.
What did you say? You heard me.
Sean, enough.
Yeah, just shut it Sean.
You haven't a clue.
Well I know Brian's innocent.
You better watch what you say.
You going to grass on me too? Grow up.
You two, out in the car now.
Brian's a better cop than you'll ever be.
Let's go over it one more time.
I get up early and get home by seven.
I tell my dad I just needed to be on my own.
And? And I'm sorry for any upset I caused.
Then what do you do? Stick to my story, no matter what.
Good, you'll do just fine.
Now don't let me down, I'm relying on you.
I won't, I promise.
That's my girl.
So when will I see you? You won't, this is what we've been talking about.
But when this is all blown over and I'm back in school? You have to stay away from me, you understand? But I love you.
Rachel, it's over.
There's no way back from this.
But there has to be, please, Brian, I'll do anything.
I wanted to be with you, I did.
But you ruined it the minute you didn't come home.
It's your fault, now you have to put it right.
