Original subtitles

Did you have enough hot water?

Are you okay?

I know Alanna hates me but...

But what?

It doesn't add up, does it?

What happened between us, happened in the past.

If anything, things were going really well for us.

So why...

Why jeopardize all that?

You know, why risk everything now?

Val, the evidence is there.

Even Frank is convinced.

Have you told him?

About what I did at the party to Elaine's drink?

- Jacob. - What?

You don't think that will help them to find that out, do you?

It's just...

like you're just gonna forget what you did?

Please, Jacob, it's hard enough with Calum

being so angry all the time.

You know why he's angry.

You know, don't you?

Your father.

He didn't mean to do what he did, it was his illness.

It wasn't like your dad to act like that.

That's why it's so hard to accept.

It was his disease.

So maybe in a way...

it wasn't Dad?

All I'm asking,

for the moment...

let's not make things any harder, okay?

For any of us.

You all right?

Yeah.

You sure?

Why don't you tell me about it?

Was it you?

Paying someone to rough me up doesn't seem your style.

You're not going to deny it?

Why should I?

To win back Frank? No, thanks.

He had his chance to take my side.

Help me, Alanna.

Do you know who it was, Val?

He's made a fool of all of us.

Finn?

My laptop's not locked.

Spare set of car keys in the kitchen.

Look, I made it easy for him right from the start.

From the start?

I... I invited him here.

But I hadn't thought of what him turning up might do to you.

I thought you'd feel like the way I did

when Denis discarded me but that's all.

All the questions about you and Denis and the girls and...

he made it all seem so casual.

Like he didn't care what you told him.

What did you tell him?

About Michael?

About Jenny's baby?

About Grace and Joe?

Jesus, you let that monster loose in my family.

You invited him to come here?

I didn't make a difference.

What?

He told me he was coming when he heard Denis had died.

The day he got out of prison,

he went straight to the airport.

I mean, he literally got out of jail

and walked into a taxi.

Whether I invited Finn or not, he was always coming.

Where are my keys?

I can't be late again.

Here.

Oh.

Guess who was chewing them?

Thank you.

Oh, shit!

Oh, my God.

- Fuck. - Sorry.

Damn.

- If you had left? - I know. I know.

Sorry.

You okay?

It happens, don't it?

Same thing as Calum.

He told me when he was a kid.

The fire.

Thank God, right?

You know, don't you?

Know what?

That it wasn't Elaine's fault.

It was Rory, weren't it?

- How-- - She told me.

It slipped out that she'd been blamed.

So everyone knows.

No. No, the boys don't and you shouldn't--

I won't.

So what happened? Did...

Rory confess it along with everything else?

Yeah, I think so.

Can't have been easy for her,

thinking she did that to her own kids?

You don't agree?

Elaine is able to look out after herself.

Wouldn't waste your time worrying about her.

Oh, that's work.

I'm really in for it.

You go.

I'll take Nell to the minders.

- Could you? - Hmm-hmm.

Thank you.

I didn't mean to leave the mess this morning.

I didn't know you'd be back so soon.

Anyway, I've got things to do upstairs.

I went to see Alanna.

- Why? - Frank's car keys

were available for anyone to take and so was her laptop.

Just stop with this shit!

Are you serious?

Finn didn't ruin your life, Mom, you did that all by yourself.

The day you decided to hide him from us.

- Hi. - Hi, Val.

Come on in, Ingrid.

Is Calum in?

Ingrid, uh...

He doesn't want to see me, does he?

He hasn't been answering my calls either.

I just need to talk to him.

Listen, if I were you I'd try later.

I just think, there's, um,

there's an element of bravado runs in the family.

Ingrid, Finn spends a lot of time with Calum, right?

Too much time.

Yeah. But did you ever see him with anyone else?

I don't know, a friend, someone he trusts?

Someone outside of the family?

No.

No, actually there is someone.

Yeah, someone who's afraid of him.

Let's go.

Turn it up!

- Miss Ahern! - It's all right, Andrew.

Take it easy.

You're not at school now.

See that?

That is what I smell through your balaclava.

I don't need to listen to this sh--

Yes, you fucking do, you little shit!

Now I guessed that science wasn't your strong suit, Andrew,

but I presume even you've heard of DNA.

Get that out of your mouth when I'm speaking to you!

Because the Guards have plenty of it at my house

and all they need is the right match.

Maybe I should point them in your direction.

How'd you feel about that?

Put it out!

You have a key?

Jenny's not here, so...

This wasn't my idea. It was all Finn.

He said all I had to do was go in the back door

and scare you.

Told him not too heavy.

I know what you told him, Finn. Who cares what you told him?

He could have killed me, I could have killed him.

But you're here...

not at the police station.

I want to know why?

Why?

Why you hate me so much?

Because I didn't tell the girls about you?

It's not what you didn't do, Val.

You made him cut all ties with us, me and Mom.

Because she wouldn't stop writing.

- She was an addict. - What?

She was clean for a while

but then when Denis suddenly stopped calling,

after everything he said,

everything he promised.

- Denis was a-- - It wasn't Denis.

It was you, Val.

You are a solicitor contact her, didn't you?

You made it clear that Denis wanted nothing more

to do with her.

That it was mistake and he regretted it.

Yes, because he was my husband?

And she...

was my mom.

He tore her heart out

and in its place you left a check.

And after your attack dog had left,

she was sat there

staring at it.

More money than she'd ever seen in her life.

- I was trying-- - I found her...

on the floor with a needle

stuck in her arm.

I was seven, Val.

Seven.

I didn't know.

You know what you want to know, Val.

You knew I was out there all that time.

That's where you would've left me

if you had your way.

Out of site, out of mind.

But other people see things, Val.

Things you'll see enough to face up to.

What are you saying?

Jacob saw Anna

pour vodka into Elaine's drink the night of the crash.

You can ask him if you like.

Are you surprised...

that when you girls would hide something from you?

They've all got their secrets, Val, they're hiding something.

And you want to know why?

It's because you showed them how it's done.

So, why am I doing this?

I'm doing this for my dad.

And I won't stop

until I find out what you did to him.

Because I know it was you, Val.

It's always you.

So you can take that recording

and walk out of here,

because I'm not leaving.

So,

Finn has you over a barrel?

Any antagonism.

If I say anything to the girls,

he'll turn them against me.

The girls will come round.

What are you really afraid he's after?

Don't. Don't do this.

- Do what? - You used to tell me everything.

It's like ever since Denis died,

some part of you is closed off from me.

It's hurtful.

I don't want to hurt you, Mairead.

Then why? Why are you holding back?

Sometimes the only way to protect someone

is not to tell them what you know.

Sometimes...

the only way to tell someone you care

is to let them share your load.

Tell the truth or someone will tell it for you.

So, lads. Let me bum a smoke off of you?

Ah, thanks very much.

- Hey. - Hey.

It's one of those days.

Alanna.

Yeah.

She moved out.

Shame.

You two seemed well suited.

Better match than her and my Dad.

It's hardly secret, I suppose.

Must have been while it was going on.

Yeah.

I mean,

Denis wasn't much good at that kind of thing.

He was more of a hide in plain sight kind of guy.

Val was her best friend, right?

Yeah.

she must've been pretty angry,

well, when she found out.

Yeah, with Alanna, she took it very hard.

Took a lot of pleading, a lot of promises,

a lot of nights kipping on my couch

before she eventually agreed to take him back.

Bet he was never tempted to do it again.

What do you mean by that?

Well,

if you did...

there'd be hell to pay, wouldn't there?

Hey, boss?

I better run.

Mom is everything all right?

Oh yeah. Yeah. Fine.

- It's nothing. - No, it's not nothing. Tell me.

I'm sure. I'm the last person you wanna talk to right now.

Has something happened? Tell me.

It's best you hear it from the horse's mouth.

This wasn't my idea.

It was all Finn.

He said that all I had to do was go in the back door

and scare you.

I didn't mean to take it that far.

I didn't mean to do that.

We have to tell the Guards.

We can't! No Guards.

He has to be locked up.

You could've been murdered. Finn can't get away with this.

- If Joe knew-- - No, no Guards.

No Joe, nothing.

Please just trust me this time.

We'll tell the truth, okay?

For once and for all.

Thank you.

Elaine.

Oh, hi.

What are do you doing here?

Just drop something off.

Ah, okay,

well, I better go.

I've, uh, got another meeting so.

Well, maybe I'll join you.

It's a work meeting.

Oh, right.

Yeah.

Be a bit weird if I came, wouldn't it.

You look lovely by the way.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd say you were going off on a date.

Well, I'm not.

It's probably been a while since there's been a...

significant other?

Yeah. I don't see how that's any of your business.

It's just round here.

Hardly spoilt for choice here, are you?

I imagine all the good men are already gone.

Is that your experience?

I'm late.

See you around.

- Hey. - Hi, Mairead.

- I didn't hear you pull up. - Oh, flying visit.

I was just wondering if I could borrow

two fine young bucks here. Your mom said they might give me

a hand in the garden.

That was very nice of her.

Lads, a bit of gardening at my place?

And then we can order pizzas afterwards if you like.

Yeah. Sure.

Sure.

Yes. Okay.

I'm parked just around the back.

- See ya. - See ya.

What's this, an intervention?

Not exactly.

Who's at the door?

What is she doing here?

- I asked her to come. - What?

Why?

We can't afford to be at each other's throats.

We are in real danger.

Finn.

What happened?

He just came up to me in town.

I think he's worked out that I was with Denis.

He's playing us against each other.

We have to tell the truth to each other, okay?

Leave him with nothing.

What are you proposing, Val?

It was Anna who spiked your drink.

Anna?

So why-- why would you do that?

- I didn't mean-- - You didn't mean what?

I didn't know that you were gonna drive them.

I almost died.

Joe almost died.

- My sons. - I know.

I know I'm gonna have to live with that.

- I know. - Yeah. You, you will.

You will have to live with that for years.

I thought I had hurt Calum.

That tortured me.

It didn't gimme a moment's peace.

I didn't deserve any of that.

You deserve every single second!

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I don't care if you're sorry.

There's this,

this will never be all right.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Jacob, you can help you find another bucket and some trows.

Thanks.

No problem.

Calum, this is stupid.

I need to talk to you.

Will you please take a walk with me?

No, I don't feel like it.

You can talk here if you want.

I'm going back to Copenhagen.

For how long?

For good.

My dad really misses me.

I don't think there's much left for me here anymore.

Is there?

Guess not.

Are you done?

I really want you to be happy.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Yeah.

Yeah, whatever.

Calum.

Calum!

Jenny.

What's going on?

Can you come with us?

To your church?

Jenny.

It's important.

It's about Finn.

We can't talk here.

Are you serious?

Take a seat, Jenny.

No, I think the days of you telling me what to do are over,

Mom.

This wasn't my idea. It was all fake.

He said that all I had to do was go in the back door

and scare you.

How could he do this?

Mom, why?

He thinks I'm to blame for the death of his mother.

But you're not to blame, right?

Mom?

Enough.

It's only a matter of time before he finds out the truth.

The truth.

About Rory, about how we let him

take the blame for what Elaine did.

So if we're gonna do this,

we have to do it now.

Finn.

Here, take this, will you?

It's been calling non-stop. I think it's Val.

- Hello? - Finn,

I want to tell you what happened to your father.

Can you meet me?

I'll be at the cliffs where your father died.

Right.

- Hi, this is Jenny,

please leave a message.

Come with me.

Jenny.

What's going on?

You send someone to attack my mother

and you're asking me what's going on.

It's just meant to be a scare.

I'm sorry.

I'm the one who's sorry.

I'm sorry your mother died,

the way she did.

When I sent that money,

I had no idea about her problems.

I did what I did to save my marriage,

to save my family.

Sounds about right.

When I first heard about you,

I told Denis he had to provide for you

a trust fund, maintenance,

whatever, something.

I made it clear, he couldn't just walk off

into the bloody sunset.

He told me he'd done what I'd asked.

I believed him

until I got a letter

from your mother.

Denis hadn't paid her a penny.

I was so angry.

I, I just, I sold my car.

I cleared out my bank account.

I did not know she was sick, Finn.

I swear I didn't.

That's not what he told me.

Well, Denis was a liar.

Okay? Plain and simple.

Jenny.

I loved him but he used me.

That money I took from the clinic was for him.

He took it,

knowing I'd never be able to pay it back.

And then he wrote me out of his will.

Why would he?

Because I wasn't his blood.

No.

Mom's right.

He used our love for his own needs.

When I was 16,

he forced me to have an abortion.

I thought he was trying to protect me,

but he was just trying to protect himself.

Like he always did.

By the time he visited you in prison,

you were the only person who didn't know

what he was really like.

As a son, he'd always ignored.

By then...

you were the only he had left.

But he said it was different

because he wasn't allowed to have a son.

You had a hold over his daughters

that you put them against him.

That's not true.

She killed him!

She found out that I was sleeping with Elaine

and she killed him!

Admit it, Val.

Just admit it!

No, no.

No,

Val didn't kill Denis.

I did.

But it was an accident.

I thought he cared for me,

but he didn't.

She was vulnerable.

Like everybody Denis took advantage of.

I mean, she is an addict, like your mother.

And he used her in the same way.

So what happened?

He attacked me

and I pushed back...

and he fell.

And all you.

All, you knew this?

You wanted the truth.

Now you have it.

And now you have a choice.

What choice?

Well, you can go to the Guards.

You can tell them everything you've heard, destroy us all.

Or...

you can keep the secret.

You can keep it and you can

become one of us.

Because that's what it's gonna take, Finn,

to join this family.

You don't have to be alone.

Not if you don't want to be.

I was so stupid,

to think he wanted me.

Finn, whatever Denis's feelings were,

you are still his son.

You're still,

you're an Ahern.

Am I?

Doesn't have to be all you are, but yes.

Come up to the house when you're ready.

Fucking liars!

No!

You knew, you all knew.

You liars!

You're all liars!

I heard you!

- You. - Okay, come on.

- We can talk. - You made them do it.

If it wasn't for you!

No, your father would still be dead.

Val, Val, Val.

No, he wouldn't be here, Calum.

If he hadn't done what he did, neither would Elaine.

He didn't want you to lose everything, Cal.

You made him think that! You put that in his head!

- Yes. - Grace.

You did, Mom. It was your, our idea.

But, but, but we all went along with it.

We all knew what we were doing.

Come on, Calum. Come On.

- We can talk-- - No more talking!

All you ever wanna do is talk.

You just shut up!

Just, just calm down, mate.

It was her.

It was her, she killed, Denis.

It's fine. Just, just calm down, yeah?

Give me the hurley.

- Give it to me. - You know?

Yeah.

Just give it, give it to me.

It's fine.

You lied to me too!

Get off him!

Leave him alone.

Leave him alone.

Whoa!

- Let's just take it easy. - Jacob.

Just take it easy!

Finn!

It's okay.

Finn! Look at me! Look at me!

Finn! Finn!

Stay with me, Finn.

Finn, look at me!

I need you to look at me.

Finn!

Grace.

Can you get the others?

Good boys.

God knows I wanted to protect them from all this.

Now they know Rory didn't kill anyone.

They know the truth.

That has to be better, isn't it?

Grace, that's not what Rory wanted.

I know.

I'll talk to them.

No.

I mean, I will too.

We'll do it together.

I don't think either of you should, not yet.

What?

- Someone has to talk to them. - I know.

Finn.

Did the Guards speak to you at the hospital?

Yeah.

What did you say?

I said what you told me to say?

I was cleaning the gun.

Didn't know it was loaded. It went off.

Do you think they believed you?

Well, like they couldn't care less.

Right. Well, that won't be Sergeant O'Rourke's reaction.

As soon as she gets wind of this,

you can be damn sure she'll be straight over here.

She'll wanna talk to everyone.

If they let anything slip,

ever to anyone,

it will tear us apart.

All of us.

You do understand that, don't you?

It was an accident.

It was just an accident.

If they question you,

which they probably won't,

you just say you were upstairs when you heard the bang.

That's all.

Anything else you might know about it

you heard from your nan.

Yeah.

You'll take it from there.

What's he telling them?

What they need to you hear.

Boys will be hungry.

I've put some snacks in the oven.

Would you mind putting them out for me?

Your dad.

He did what he did to protect you.

I can't imagine how hard it was for him.

Knowing he was gonna leave you, thinking that he was someone...

he wasn't.

It's not about lying.

It's about keeping the truth...

inside you.

It's all it is.

Wow.

Look at this.

It's all going to be okay.

Grace?

Grace!

Who's that?

Is that Mommy?

Grace.

Hiya, Joe. Can I come in?

Uh, Cathy's not here.

- She's, uh... - I know she isn't.

Of course.

Uh, yeah.

Just feeding your man.

- Grace, I, uh-- - I've come to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

London.

Right?

How long?

What happened?

I can't take it anymore.

I need to get away.

From this place.

From my family.

I need to be able to breathe again.

You know, it's where I thought I'd be,

London... years ago.

I mean, that's where I thought I'd be now.

With me.

It's what we used to say we do, isn't it?

God laughs when you make...

- What is it? - Hmm.

Fuck knows.

It wasn't God though, was it?

That did it for us.

No.

I'm not complaining.

Just, er...

makes you think, doesn't it?

You were the only one that never lied to me.

The only one that knew how important that was for me.

Goodbye, Joe.

Bye, Grace.

It was important to me too.

I need to tell you the truth.

Joe, the night Dad died,

Rory didn't kill him.

That's not what happened.
