A body was found this morning

and we have reason to believe
that it's your husband, Denis Ahern.

My birthday gift to you, Val,
your freedom.

I had reasons to kill Dad.

You had reasons.
We can't have been the only ones.

Ingrid says you're holding back
how upset you were.

I woke up when Grace was shouting
and you weren't here.

I could hardly breathe
with the guilt over the fire.

I need you
to come down to the station, Calum,

to answer a couple of questions.

Did you really think it wouldn't get
back to me? Your noble betrayal.

I just want to reassure you
that I'm not going anywhere

until I find out the truth.

Here, she looks tired,
I'll put her back.

Come here, you beautiful thing.

Cherish every moment.

Time goes past so quickly.

Before you know it, they're
not so dependent on you anymore.

I think I'm going to get a coffee.

Anna?

Good idea, need chocolate.
Do you want anything?

No, no, no. I'm fine thank you.

I know what you're thinking.
I know you don't.

Oh, look I was only 17 when I had
you in London and I was on my own.

I know, Mum.

No, look, I know I wasn't always
from for you Jenny, and I, I...

I have huge regrets about that.

It doesn't matter.
Well, it does to me.

Everything was up in the air.

If, if Denis hadn't asked me
to marry him, like he did,

I don't know
what we would have done.

So what you're telling me,

that you married Dad
so we'd have a roof over our heads?

No. I was in love with Denis,

It's just that, the security
he offered was definitely...

It wasn't something that I wasn't
aware of, let's put it that way.

You wouldn't understand.

Actually I think I do.

I don't think there's anything
I wouldn't do for her.

Good.

That's how it should be.

Sorry, that will be me.

You're not supposed to have
your phone on in the hospital.

It was dead, it was charging.

Jesus!

I have to go.

Anna! Anna? What's going on?

That was Rory.

Would you go home and check on him,
I need to go.

Calum's at the garda station.

What the hell do you think
you're doing, Paudie?

He's a child,
you can't just arrest him.

Anna, take it easy.

And he's not arrested.

He's just here for a chat.

I told that to Rory.
He said he was going to call you.

We didn't hear from you.

We asked Calum if there was anyone
else he'd like to contact.

I came as soon as I heard.

He suggested his mother.
Well, I'm his mother.

Like I said, I told Rory.

He's a bit under the weather, is he?

Rory's not thinking straight
at the moment.

But I'm here now
and I want to take Calum home.

We can do that, if you insist,
but I would advise otherwise.

Any reluctance to cooperate might...
Cooperate?

He clattered a few local thugs,
Paudie, it's hardly murder one.

What?

Denis' body.

The pathologist reports
finally came in.

It suggests that prior to the fall
a wound was inflicted to his head.

Calum has a temper, but he's not...
It's just a chat.

Just a chat to rule things out,
that's all.

When you say stop we'll stop.

OK?

Rory?

Rory?

Hey, Anna, is everything OK?

They think it wasn't an accident.

They think someone killed Dad.

What, do they think Calum...

No, no. I don't know.
No. It's just to rule things out.

Elaine was here.
Calum asked for her.

Is she there with you now?

No, she left. She told me I should
be the one to be with him.

Anna?

Mum, I need to go.

Listen, don't tell Rory, OK?
Let me explain.

No, OK, Anna,
Anna just be very careful.

Calum! Open the door! Jacob, Jacob.
Calum!

Rory?

Hey, come here, let me help.

Oh, hey...

No!

I got a call from my oncologist.

I thought it was months, but
the most I have is a few weeks.

I can't stop thinking about it.

I can't stop thinking about the fire.

Rory?

If there's something on your mind,
now might be the time, it might...

Well it might help to,
to talk about it.

Elaine, she was meant
to make the dinner that night.

But when I got home
she was passed out on the couch,

the boys were starving,

then I realised
she hadn't even bought any food.

The corner shop was about to close,
so I...

I was only gone two minutes.

I forgot my keys.

Open the door, open the door!

Elaine, open the door!

Calum!

Open the door!

Calum!

No!

It wasn't Elaine.

It was me.

Elaine had been at it all day
and she couldn't remember.

She thought she left the pan on.

And you never told her otherwise?

It's too late for that anyway.

It's not too late to tell Anna.

Thanks for being here Calum,
sorry about the delay there.

Now, the lads on the beach there,
they say that you assaulted them.

Do you deny it?
That you attacked them?

No.
Calum!

Alfie Dillon says
that you used a hurl as a weapon,

is that what you used?

Yeah.

I believe there's some history,
at your school?

We made a few calls.

How is this relevant?

How is it not?

Your son has a temper.

He lashed out at school
and on the beach.

And maybe another time.

How was your relationship
with your grandad, Calum?

How do you think it was.

He loved him.

I thought he was a bully.

And you don't like bullies, do you?

They make you lose your temper.
Alright. Stop!

That's enough. Calum, come on.

Where were you
the night of the party, Calum?

I mean, after everyone had left?

He was in bed, he's a child.

He was there...
No.

He was using his grandfather's
credit card just after midnight

at McGrath's garage, large Doritos,
two bottles of Lucozade

and a packet of cigarettes.

I can show you the video.

Anna, hi.

How is Calum?

He's inside,
we're not done here yet.

Right. I'll wait. If that's OK?

Actually it's not.

I'm sorry.

Look, I don't care
what they say he's done.

What are they saying?

They've CCTV of him buying stuff
at the garage

the night
of his grandfather's death.

Calum said he went there,
then to the beach and then home.

That's what he says.

Then that's what he did.

That's all he did.

Anna, Calum's not a liar.

To him, the truth is everything.

Yeah...

Uncle Vigo sends his regards.

Tell him hi.

Everything OK?

Em, sure,
it's just a business thing.

He has to sell some stocks for me.

For Val?

For Jenny.
No. For Val.

Do you think I want to eat
into our savings account like that?

Because believe me, I don't.

But Jenny, she's in trouble.

I can't just sit here
and do nothing.

I don't want her kid to be brought
up in jail, do I?

Not when I know that
I can stop that from happening.

Are you sure
they'd do the same thing for you?

I don't know honey, but I know who
I am and if I don't do this, then...

And Calum?

Anymore news?

His temper is not helping his case.

I see.

The boys from the beach,
the ones he attacked.

Yeah, well it was just one boy's
family who actually reported it,

but the guards are just using
what they've heard from them

to prop up their investigation
into everything else.

Yeah, but he still attacked them,
didn't he?

Well, they deserved it.
Umm...

No, no, Dad.

Alfie Dillon is a little shit,

the things him and his friends
have been saying about me,

and you actually.

And when you
were in Calum's position,

all he ever did
was stand up for me.

Alfie Dillon?

Yeah.

Frank?

Frank?
Val?

Alright.

He wrote me out of his will.

I don't see what that
has to do with anything.

No. It's not that. It's Spaniard's
Bluff, have you heard of it?

No, should I have?

He left it to Grace. What is it?

Well, without Denis here to
explain it's just words on paper.

If it's a property, I don't know why
he wouldn't have sold it already.

Do you want me to look into it?

Val?

You could have called
to ask me that.

Calum's with the guards,
they think he killed Denis.

What?

Look, I don't believe he did
and I...

I don't think you do either.

Do you, Frank?

These Seaview developments,

Denis knew you reported him
to the Planning Department,

that's why
he cut you out of the will.

But did he ever confront you
over it?

You think I killed Denis?

Frank, what happened?

Denis?

What do you want, Frank?

I want to get this out in the open.

What, so you can what,
clear the air?

Yeah.

You're right Denis, it was me.

It wasn't fair to those people.

They would have bought those houses
without knowing.

This wasn't just another stroke
Denis,

this was real people's lives.

OK, so it was nothing personal.

You did it for the people.

Well good job brother, because
those people are now stuck in limbo,

waiting for something
that might never get finished.

So it's another Frank success story,
that reverse Midas touch of yours.

As lucky in business
as you are in love, huh?

You know, it was a shame
you and Rita never lasted.

I liked her.

Right then I hated him so much.

Were you scared
what you might do?

I was scared alright.

Scared of him.

I always have been.

There was a side to Denis
that maybe you never saw.

Oh...

I think I was aware
of all his sides, Frank.

Did you ever see him
not get his own way?

Whoever he was talking to
when I walked up

was getting the full treatment.

I know what it feels like
to be on the end of his...

..cruelty.

It's like he always knew
what to say to hurt you most.

And you would do anything
to get away from it.

Anything.

Do you know who it was?

His focus was on the development,
so maybe it was somebody who was,

I don't know, trying to
buy it out from underneath him.

But like, they all do that.

Denis included.

I can't see them killing each other
over it.

It's just business to them.

Unless it wasn't just business.

Don't be running away
from it, go into it, go on!

Get in again, Alfie.

Looks like his recent trauma
hasn't affected his performance.

What the fuck are you doing here?

Where did you get that?

It doesn't prove anything.

No, you're right. It doesn't.

You need to see this.

No thanks, you're alright.
I'm not like you.

I'm not into kids, bloody paedo.

Love filming things, don't you?

No but Ronnie,
Ronnie this is not kids.

This is you, painting my house.

So what I want you to do
is to call the Gardai

and tell them you're officially
withdrawing your complaint

against Calum Lynch, OK?

Enjoy the practice.

Thank you for coming, Alanna.

Thank you.

It's OK Val,
I'm not going to make you beg.

I'm going over Ned's head,
it's my money anyway

and I choose to invest in Seaview.

I thought you wanted to put
the past behind us and move on?

We were best friends, Alanna.

We were inseparable.

Val, I have tried to explain.

I have no excuse,
but it was the worst time for me.

You didn't have
to take the girls from me too.

You know how much they meant to me.

Did you think about them when
you were screwing their father?

You see, what you never got was
it was never about sex with Denis.

What really got his rocks off
was while he was shafting you,

he was really enjoying
you shafting me.

And that is what you did.

I'll never forgive you for it.

Tell me one thing, Ned said nothing,
but he's been cold for years.

Did Denis tell him?

No, I did.

You took the girls
from me, you took Ned from me.

You know, in my own shitty way
I loved Ned.

Why did he stay with me?

He stayed with you
for your money, Alanna.

You know, what I did was stupid.

But what you did was cruel.

I won't be stupid again.

Tell me this, on the night of
the party, were either of you or Ned

talking to Denis in the garden?

Frank said he saw...
What the hell are you on about?

I stayed for the first couple
of hours and I drove Ned home.

He was beyond drunk.

We were never in the garden.

I don't know what this is about,
I'm done.

Alanna, Alanna...

Do you know what Spaniard's Bluff is?

Calum.

The complaint made by the Dillons
has been withdrawn.

So it's over?

Go on up and see your brother,
he's been worried.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm much better.

Thanks, Calum.

It's really about Dad.

Denis?

I didn't tell anyone
that you snuck out that night.

I swear.
I know.

You're not...

You're not gonna go to jail,
are you?

I don't know.

You and Denis?

He was trying to take the children
from me.

You killed Denis?

This doesn't belong to you.

Denis asked you
to sign that for him, didn't he?

It took a while to convince me.

Quite a while.

I mean, giving over
all rights to your own kids.

But eh...

I thought he loved me.

You know, I've been broken
for so long, so alone...

..he was charming, he was handsome.

He'd all the answers.

He told me
that Anna was always afraid

that she'd lose control of the boys,
that I'd somehow win them back.

He said if I signed,
she'd move home, I'd get access,

that they'd be
part of my life again.

I was an idiot.

I gave them to him
on the night of the party.

Thank you.

It's the right thing to do, Elaine.

For the boys, and for you.

Come on, they're inside.

It was seeing
Jacob and Calum again.

It was almost too much.

And when everyone was
celebrating, I, I found their room.

I just wanted a toy or a photo
or anything, to take with me.

And that's when Rory and Anna
came upstairs.

Are you OK?

OK.

I heard them talking about
the tumour and the prognosis.

He didn't have long left.

We're going to get the test
and find another way.

And that's when it suddenly
dawned on me what Denis was doing.

It was all just about
getting me to sign.

Denis Ahern
wouldn't want any grandchildren

to be taken away from him
or his daughter.

What he wanted...

Was to take them
away from me, forever.

I'm going to get a lawyer.

No, you're not going to get anybody.

Do you fucking hear me, Elaine?

Do you!

Denis?

I'm sorry.

We can sort this out, OK? Please!

He called to say
we'd talk through it later.

At an old meeting place.

He said he was sorry
for losing his temper.

I lost my temper.
I should not have done that.

Said we'd sort it out,
said all the old things, but...

You just have to trust me.

It was like I'd woken up
or something.

Hey, hey, hey...

Where are you going?

I have nothing more to say to you.

If you want to talk to me again
you can do it through my solicitor.

Your solicitor?

Ah, Elaine, no judge, no anyone,
is going to give someone like you

custody of my grandchildren.

I'm their mother.

I've sorted myself out.

It's not like it was.
Says you.

What?

Do you remember your friend
Sarah Ryan?

From rehab?

I haven't seen her since...
That's not what she says.

What she will say to a judge,
a social worker, whoever,

is to tell them about
the wild nights in her flat.

And not just drink, all sorts -
cocaine, pills,

call yourself a mother?

No...

You're bluffing.

Get off me, get your hands off me,
get off!

OK, we'll see who's bluffing.

Not only won't you get custody,

I'm going to make sure the boys
never see you again.

Because they're never
going to want to.

I'm going to tell them
whatever I want.

Whatever it takes
to make them hate you.

No!

Shut up!

I said shut up!

Help!

Help!

You fucking bitch!

No...

Oh God.

In that moment,
all I could think about

was how he tried
to take my boys from me.

I took the papers from him
so that wouldn't happen.

And now...

Now I need them to help Calum.

So what?
You're going to turn yourself in?

Well...

What choice do I have?

But it was self-defence.

What does it matter?

I'm not going to get
my boys back now, am I?

Denis was right.

Who'd give custody
to someone like me?

What is it? Is there more?

Mam?

There's something I need to tell you.

It was self-defence,
Elaine is the victim here.

She's not...
Oh come on, some fucking victim.

She let everyone think Dad
had fallen or killed himself.

He made her sign a custody agreement,
Anna,

giving over any claim
to her own sons,

and on top of that
he tried to blackmail her.

No, I don't buy it.

Anna!
You're pathetic.

All of you.
Falling for a 'poor me' story.

Dad knew exactly
how to handle her type.

She's a bloody murderer,
I'm calling the Guards.

You asked your father to get
this paper signed, didn't you?

Anna?

He said he'd help,
I didn't know he'd...

Oh Anna.

She doesn't deserve those boys,
what choice did I have?

You really want to give custody
back to a woman

who let her house burn down

while she was passed out
blind drunk on the sofa?

Do you?

What is going on? Why are you
looking at him like that?

Rory, you need to tell her.

Tell me what?

Rory?
The fire...

It wasn't Elaine's fault.

Well, whose fault...

I'm sorry.

Anna...

No.

Tomorrow morning, Elaine
is turning herself in to the Gards,

I want her to spend her last night
of freedom with her children.

I think it's the very least
this family owes her, don't you?

Can you come back tomorrow?

Em, I don't think I can.

I have to be up
pretty early in the morning.

It might be a while before I'm
able to come and see you both again.

But I, I'd like to come again,

if you'll still want me to, that is.

Why wouldn't we want you to?

Thank you for coming.

I just, I just needed to see you.

Look, Carl, I know,
I know that lately I've not...

I've not been great.

I wanted you to choose me Val.

Not to be left with me.

I did...

I did choose you, I...

Carl, I need you now, OK?

More than I ever did.

Don't do this, come on.

I mean, think of all the plans
we made,

the things
we were going to do together.

I have thought of it all,
I, I can't take this anymore.

I can't take it anymore.

I'm always coming second with you.

What to my family, to my children?

Why can't I have both?

I don't know.

So this is it then, is it?

Yeah.

This is it.

Carl...

..thank you for helping Jenny.

She deserves to be with her child.

I know what it feels like
to have that threatened.

It's, it's not right.

How could you let her believe
that she'd hurt her own children?

All that time.

I can't even imagine.

She was drunk.

She was so drunk she didn't
even realise, for a minute,

that it wasn't her.

It could easily have been her.

But it wasn't.

And it wasn't fair.

Fair?

Getting Denis involved was fair?

I just...

I couldn't bear the thought
of losing everything,

you know, just like that.

And without you
I've no hold over the boys.

My boys.

I just wanted to get it done.

I wanted life
to get back to normal again.

Things are never
going to be normal again.

It's nearly over...the film.

I was thinking
she should stay the night.

It's OK by me.

Yeah, it's OK, yeah.

Let her spend as much time
as she wants with the boys.

Hey.

They're off to bed.

Jacob always liked a glass
of water by his bedside, so...

Sit down.

Just let me know
when the young lad gets here.

What's this?

It's Denis Ahern's blood.

Calum didn't kill his grandfather.

I did.

VAL: Once Detective Manning
sees the blood on the letter

and hears Rory's version of events,

he'll have no reason
to look elsewhere.

This is... no, we can't just...

Anna.

The boys...

They're going to lose me anyway.

This way they'll lose less.

Think what it will do to them
to see Elaine on trial for murder?

It was an accident.

But if you...

Anna, I'm not going to make
any trial.

You need to be here for them after.

You need to let this happen.

Mum!

This is the right thing to do.

For the boys, for us all.

But it's not the truth.

I think we should all know that.

What we're doing here...

What we're doing here
is best for this family.

No-one else
gets the right to decide that.

I asked Denis to get
the custody agreement signed.

He did.

But he wouldn't hand it over.

He wanted money.

He was in trouble over Seaview.

I wouldn't pay.

And there was a fight.

You fucker!

For all, the truth about us
will be brought out

in the law court of Christ.

And each of us
will get what he deserves,

for the things he did in the body,
good or bad.

This is the word of the Lord.

Look I'll see you back
at the house, alright?

Yeah.

Mam? Coming?

Yeah, I'll be, I'll be
with you in a second, sweetheart.

What is it, is there more?

Help!

Yeah, yeah.

Please, please.

Please.

Elaine, Elaine, help, please!
