J And found out J

And in the town of Blackwater,

the body exhumed from the lake last night

has been confirmed to be that of Chloe Whelan,

who was reported missing from the town 20 years ago.

The car she was discovered in belonged

to deceased suspect Charles Reid,

a local restaurant...

You all right?

Yeah, just...

too many noises, you know?

How do I look?

- Great. - Yeah?

Just Shanahan asked to see me this morning,

so I thought I'd... you know.

Um, listen, I'll pick up the boys later,

maybe get a takeaway, yeah?

What?

Nothing.

Have I said something?

Just...

two dead women being pulled out of the lake...

feels a bit weird to be celebrating

that kind of thing with the kids.

All right.

No takeaway.

Right, boys! Let's go!

- Come on, come on, come on. - I call front.

He had it yesterday!

Mark on the way out, you on the way back.

Seat belts on, lads.

Fia...

Wake up.

Furlong.

Well done, Garda Furlong.

You'll be thrilled to be on the other side of this one.

- You played a big part. - Thanks, sir.

Have they interviewed Carrie yet?

Detective Lucey's on her way in, she'll handle it.

If you wouldn't mind collating the evidence for the case file.

Yeah, of course. Thanks, sir.

"Celebrated chef and local restaurateur, Charlie Reid,

suspected of the sexual assault

of dozens of women over two decades,

dies by suicide rather than face justice."

All right, Bill, please.

I don't think I can stomach another word.

That utter scumbag, Charlie Reid.

All those years coming in and out of this house,

and to think right under our very noses.

How could I have not seen it?

He was a sociopath. No one saw it.

The festival, how are we going to handle this?

Should we cancel?

Sure it's already in full swing and the launch is tonight.

Of course, we have to respect the victims and their families.

But also, we have a duty of care

to all the small business owners in Blackwater

who've been preparing for this all year.

Now, we can get through this.

We have to.

- Hiya. - Hey.

Is that all from the case file?

Yep.

What are these?

Jewelry retrieved from Charlie's car.

Must have belonged to Chloe.

I'm gonna go talk to Carrie.

Look, don't put these into storage just yet.

Looking for something in particular?

No, I just want to look through them myself.

Hello, Carrie.

My name is Detective Inspector Fia Lucey.

Remember me?

I'm so, so sorry for your loss, Carrie.

Believe me, this is the last thing I want to put you through,

but before we can close this case,

I need to ask you about the night your mother went missing.

You understand that, don't you?

Do you have any other family here?

Not that I know of.

That's what started everything going wrong in the first place.

I wanted to know things.

More than she was willing to tell.

I should have just left it alone.

What makes you say that?

Before Roisin and I met, I had very little going for me.

Family to speak of, been in a bit of trouble.

And so when we reconnected, it felt like this massive high,

this new beginning.

She did everything for me.

Got me a flat, bought me clothes, gave me money.

But there was so much I wanted to know,

and she was so cagey about the past,

always dodging the questions.

She had to be in charge of everything.

Where we met, when we met,

hiding out in that crappy little flat the next town over.

I felt like her dirty little secret,

but she was all I had.

That must have been really frustrating for you.

Yeah, it was.

The night your mother went missing, what happened?

Look, I know this is really painful for you,

but if you saw Charlie Reid that night,

that would be very useful information for us.

The guy's dead. He killed my mom.

What's the point in going over it?

I don't want to ever find ourselves in a position

where doubts will be raised over this case.

I owe that to you and to your mom.

And to Chloe Whelan.

And to all the other women he hurt.

Did you see him that night?

Where did you see him, Carrie?

At the hotel.

I wasn't supposed to go there.

She told me not to come around where she worked.

All the secrecy,

it was really starting to get to me.

Either she wanted me in her life or she didn't.

So I just showed up.

What are you doing here?

I came to visit.

Surprise!

I said not to come to my work.

- Yeah... - I thought we'd agreed.

What, you bury me in a dingy flat

while you're in your fancy hotel pretending I don't exist?

Yeah, totally agreed to that.

Are you drunk?

What's it to you?

I'm serious, Carrie.

You can't stay. You have to go.

What's the matter?

- Am I bringing the tone down? - Okay.

That's enough.

Get a taxi.

I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

Go home.

Now.

I didn't go home.

I went back in and I headed into the bar.

This guy shows up.

"Hey, I'm Charlie."

I'm so hurt and angry with Mom.

He was just so nice to me.

It felt good to be made a fuss of.

He bought this really expensive wine,

and I got so drunk really fast, and then...

...everything just went black.

When I woke up...

...I'm in a bed, half dressed.

He's on top of me.

Next thing I know, there's this scream.

She's on him like an animal, punching him, shoving him.

What did you give her?! Tell me!

I think he raped me, but I don't know for sure.

I can't remember.

Do you remember anything else?

I mean, did-- Did anyone say anything?

She was just screaming at him.

What did she say?

"You bastard, that's my child."

"You're going down. It's all coming out."

Something like that. I was so out of it.

I honestly can't remember.

And then he just left.

And Mom called her friend...

- Liam. - Yeah.

That'd be the two calls she made to the burner.

And the other night when you went after Charlie...

what happened?

I caught up with him in his car.

I was gonna kill him. I don't care if you know that.

But he got the knife off me and put me in his boot.

We were moving when I woke up, it was all dark.

He said something about him and Réisin

making some kind of deal years ago.

Not gonna hurt you. I just want to talk.

That he was gonna tell me everything.

I'm opening the boot now.

You all right?

I ran away and then just hid.

He was shouting after me, "You've got all wrong!"

Fucking liar.

We were gonna go to Spain together, me and Mom.

Start a new life.

She tried to protect me! I'm the reason she's dead!

No, no.

We're gonna get you help, Carrie.

Gather professional support around you.

First of all, you need to see a doctor.

Will you let us arrange that for you?

Then we're gonna get you home safely.

What home?

She was the only family I had.

I've got nothing now.

What is it?

Charlie Reid.

It was 2004.

I remember it because it was the night Chloe Whelan disappeared.

There was a house party about half an hour out of town.

Me and my friend got a lift with this lad she knew.

Charlie was with him.

He was really nice to me.

Got me a drink.

He was a real gentleman.

He was popular. I...

I guess I was flattered his attention was on me.

We did kiss.

I remember that.

But then after that, everything went black.

I woke up in a strange bed with no memory of what had happened.

The only drink I had was the one he gave me.

For years, I tried to convince myself

that it was just a drunken one-night stand, and...

And even if I had the courage to confront him,

sure, who'd believe me?

And then I met you.

But since they found that car with Chloe Whelan in it,

it's just...

It's all coming back.

There's no question...

He raped me.

Give the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit a call.

Let them know you're on your way.

Sure.

And stay with her as long as you can, yeah?

Of course.

Inspector Lucey, do you have a minute?

Right, listen up, all.

I just wanted to say well done to everyone.

Uh, in particular,

the excellent police work of Detective Lucey

and Garda Furlong was key

in finally bringing this case to a close

that has, for far too long,

overshadowed the town of Blackwater.

And, uh, well, we're very happy to be moving on from it today.

Well done.

Listen, uh,

it's gonna be fairly quiet here for the rest of the day.

Why don't you take some time off.

We got our man.

Did we?

It's just been really bothering me

what he told me on the pier.

Charlie, he told me he didn't kill Roisin.

He also denied it to Carrie when she went after him.

Well, T admit it's not a pretty victory, but, uh...

it's closure for a lot of people in this town.

And whatever else your father did,

he was never guilty of Chloe Whelan.

That's true.

But why he would have killed his own family

is still a mystery.

Uh, T've got to go back to work.

I thought you said we weren't busy.

Take the win.

Have a bit of cake.

I said no comment.

Get away from the door or I'll call the guards.

Serena, it's Fia Lucey. Can I please come in?

I've been down the station, I've answered your questions.

There's nothing more I can tell you.

You had no idea?

Of course I fucking didn't!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Look, I'm not here to doubt you, Serena.

You know, I...

I figured you'd be gone soon, and...

and that I wouldn't get the chance to say that, um...

I'm sorry for what you're going through.

You know, I...

I have some experience

of what it's like to be in your shoes.

And I just want to say that you're entitled to your grief,

no matter what the circumstances.

That's the one thing no one thinks about.

Well, thank you.

You're the only one to say it.

Where'll you go?

I don't know.

Somewhere I can't be found.

Oh, God!

What he did to those women...

And then he'd come home here to me and...

No.

No, it's not your fault.

But how could I have lived with him all these years

and not known who he was?

You've done nothing wrong, Serena.

And you'll get through this.

You will.

Thanks.

What was his relationship like with Raisin?

They were as thick as thieves.

Always were.

She didn't like it when we got together.

Like, it was...

an odd bond.

She had him wrapped around her little finger.

Drugs, expensive clothes.

He got her whatever she wanted.

It doesn't make sense.

What doesn't?

That he'd kill her.

I tried to tell your lot that and the rest.

What do you mean the rest?

That he couldn't have been driving the car

that Chloe Whelan was found in.

Charlie couldn't swim.

What?

No, he was terrified of water.

This is DI Lucey.

Please leave a message.

Hey, Fia, um,

can we meet somewhere private, please?

I need to talk to you about something.

Thanks.

Jesus, I'm so sorry, Cian.

- It's just between us, yeah? - Oh, yeah!

Of course.

How did it come out?

Just by chance.

I was going through evidence this morning,

and I came across a birthmark in one of the photos.

I knew straightaway it was her.

I swear to God, I wish he was alive again

so I could drown him in this fucking lake myself.

You'd have an easy job.

Charlie Reid couldn't swim. Serena just told me.

How he got out of a sinking car

and made his way to the shoreline is beyond me.

Right.

Did you interview Carrie this morning?

Yeah.

Charlie drugged and raped her.

The night Réisin went missing.

She walked in on it.

So he killed Raisin to cover it up.

Christ.

It's unthinkable, isn't it? The extent of it.

Two decades in a tiny place like this, and no one even knew.

- Shameful. - Roisin knew.

Here, listen to this.

"You're finally going down.

It's all coming out."

Why did she wait till now to stop?

Loyalty. They were close friends.

You know, if I found out my close friend

was systematically drugging and raping women,

and using my place of business to do it,

I reckon I would have gone to the guards

the second I got wind of it.

Then again...

If that close friend had something on me...

I'd be more inclined to keep my mouth shut.

Charlie Reid is dead. I think we should take the win.

Win?

It doesn't feel like a win.

Look, if we're gonna send Carrie back into her life,

she needs to know that we did everything possible

to identify her mother's killer.

We need to be sure it was Charlie.

- Fia. - What?

Up until yesterday, everyone thought my father

murdered Chloe Whelan and he didn't.

We need more on Charlie, Cian. That's all I'm saying.

Otherwise, the killer could still be out there.

It's not the first time that's happened in Blackwater.

Paradise, isn't it?

If you didn't know any different.

- Hey. - Hey, love.

You went up to the house?

Yeah, this morning.

I didn't want to make a big thing of it.

Am I too late for dinner?

We were going to eat up at the launch. Will you come?

Ah, I'm a bit wrecked.

I'll make you a sandwich.

Thanks.

Room service?

Here, listen to this.

"Standing at a fixed point on the river's edge.

I see you on the far side and my heart skips.

If I swim to you now, would you think that too much?

For a moment, I hesitate.

Can I be so bold?

But rivers are for diving into and shrieking at the cold.

So I will swim this river and say, 'I love you,'

for I vow to have lived before I grow old."

From Dad to Mom, six weeks before they died.

I mean, terrible poet, but...

He really loved her, didn't he?

Yeah.

He loved all of us.

Here.

What the...?

All-Ireland hurling final tickets.

Aidan's birthday present.

Look at the date.

- A week from the day they died. - Fia...

Why would you buy hurling tickets

for a son you were planning to kill?

I don't know.

I went to the barn this morning

to make comparisons with the crime scene photos.

- Oh, love, I can't. - Oh, please.

There's something I can't work out, Donal.

Look, there were wet clothes of Dad's

hanging on that line when I left that night.

I can see them as clearly as I'm looking at you now.

There's even a wet patch on the ground, look.

But no sign of them.

Fia, no human being should experience

what you've gone through.

But as the nearest thing you have to a dad,

all I want is to see you live your life.

Don't let the past destroy any chance of that.

Mam and Dad say you're not coming to the launch.

Nope.

You're probably sick of my opinions.

But whether you like it or not, you are the hero of the hour.

Everyone's expecting you to be there.

The press want their photos.

You might as well give them what they want now,

otherwise they'll hound you for days.

Come on.

Okay, give me ten minutes.

- One for the album, anyway. - Good to see you.

We really appreciate your coming along.

- You okay? - Yeah.

Yeah.

Dad said you went up to the house.

Yeah, and the barn.

There are answers there. I just need to find them.

Well, whatever brings you closure.

Here, stop, pull over. Just right here.

- Okay. - Stop.

All right. Jesus, Fi.

I'll just be a second, okay?

This was recovered from the lake.

You've never seen it before?

No.

Um...

It never gets any easier, does it?

The only thing I'm glad about is finding out it wasn't your dad.

We had a good relationship.

He had great respect for you.

We always assumed it was Jack who, uh, bought her all this.

Real diamonds?

He would never have had that sort of money.

Charlie, then, I suppose.

It's a lot for a young chef to be splashing out on.

What?

So it wasn't Charlie, is that what you're saying?

I'm overthinking things.

This is the last thing you need right now.

I'm sorry.

Chloe was a wonderful person.

I really looked up to her.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

We'll say a prayer for you.

Right.

That was Marjorie and James Whelan's.

Yep.

Wow, they've really pulled out all the stops, haven't they?

They sure have.

Girls! Oh, am I delighted you're here.

That we're all here together as a family.

Ah, Niamh!

- God, you look great. - Oh, thanks.

A pleasure to have you here.

- I love your earrings. - Thanks.

They were a birthday present from Bill.

We all know what that means.

That Deirdre bought them.

Can I get a shot of you all together?

Sure.

Oh, that's lovely, thank you so much.

Bill, the man of the moment. Thanks for having us.

Brilliant to have you all here.

It means the world.

- Amazing. - It really does.

- Fia, thanks for coming. - Bill.

Nine a.m., we didn't know if we were gonna go ahead.

In fact, I said we should shut the whole thing down,

but I was convinced otherwise.

You've done a great service to the town.

Blackwater's proud of you.

Just doing my job.

Anything we can do for you, just let me know.

Hi.

Hey.

Congratulations on solving the case.

Yeah, thanks.

It's good to see you.

Can I get you anything?

Well...

Some time alone together would be nice.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Or you could always go and fuck yourself.

How desperate do you think IT am?

- No Donna, I didn't mean to... - No.

I'm sure you never do.

What do you take me for?

Some random, no-hoper single mom waiting for someone like you

to come along and put a bit of sparkle in their life?

- Donna, no! - Get your shit together.

You may be a hero to everyone out there,

but I am not your prize.

Do you understand?

Enjoy your evening.

Hello, everyone.

Uh, hello.

Honored friends and guests.

It is my distinct pleasure

to welcome the man who put Blackwater on the map,

Mr. Bill McGuire.

Thanks, sunshine.

Well, well, well, here we are.

Welcome, everyone.

For reasons known to many of you,

we had deep reservations about going ahead this evening.

Not a decision we took lightly.

And I'd like to express my gratitude

to the members of the law enforcement community

who are here tonight.

The people of Blackwater are forever in your debt.

Twenty years ago,

there wasn't an awful lot going on in this little town.

Sure, nearly half the real estate outlets lay idle.

And the bright young people, like Niamh Furlong here,

were planning to abandon the place in droves.

I stood on the bridge across the river thinking,

"How can we make this a place people flock to, not abandon?"

And I made a promise that in 20 years,

the name of Blackwater...

Thanks, sunshine.

...would be recognized all over the world.

Blackwater is a town of survival.

Thanks, sunshine.

Thanks, sunshine.

Oh, God. Jesus.

Niamh...

A glass of water there.

She's all right. She's all right, everyone.

It's just been a long day. A long day for everyone.

Please, please relax and enjoy yourselves.

You sure you don't want to see a doctor?

Yeah, I'm sure.

What happened, love?

She knows.

I'm so sorry, Niamh.

It's so strange.

You bury something for 20 years, and then in the space of a day you're...

reliving every second like it was yesterday.

Do you want to tell us what you remember?

The morning after the party, I was lying there in the bed.

Charlie was beside me, asleep.

Someone came in.

There was a musty smell.

You know, like the one you get with wet clothes.

Did you see his face?

No.

Wake up, sunshine. Wake the fuck up.

Come on, something's happened.

- What? - Just come on, will you?

But I heard his voice.

"Sunshine."

He called him sunshine.

All those years, all those opportunities,

all those fancy gifts, he was just...

buying my silence.

Niamh, are you sure?

Believe me, I wish I wasn't.

Right.

Fia.

Fia! Listen, listen, I know what you're thinking,

but you're gonna have to take a beat.

Yeah.

Yeah, go back to your wife.

I need a word.

What is it?

I need to speak with Donal.

It's all right.

Now, what is so urgent that it can't wait--

Charlie Reid wasn't driving the car that night Chloe Whelan drowned.

It was Bill McGuire.

He was the one having an affair with her, not Dad.

Don't ask me how I know.

- I just do. - Fia...

Charlie was at a party that night.

Bill went to Charlie for help.

I have an eyewitness that puts him at the party

in the early hours of the morning.

Jesus, Fia, this is...

I know.

I know.

Which is why I need your help.

I need you on the lake with me tomorrow.

What are we looking for?

I don't know.

But we'll know when we find it.

Twenty-eight and a half meters.

From the shore to where the car went in?

Yep.

Here, what's that?

That was your dad's.

Best spot for trout fishing on the whole lake.

Sure, didn't I see him there only the day before he passed.

Is that it, Fia?

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks, Fergus. Take her home.

So Dad's fishing spot

was 40 meters from where the car went in.

Now you're my dad out fishing for trout,

and you see a car shoot off the road

and land nose-first into the lake.

Next thing, you see Bill McGuire surface

trying to get to the shore.

He'd be in shock.

His clothes weighing him down. What would you do?

Well...

Would you stand there and let him drown?

No...

- I'd go in after him. - Exactly.

Dad saved him.

And he would have saved Chloe too

if he knew she was there, but he didn't know.

Because Bill never told him.

My family dies within 24 hours of Chloe Whelan going missing?

That's no coincidence.

What are you saying?

Bill McGuire...

He's behind everything.
