The first 200 lines.
I said I'd handle Freddie!
Talk!
Give me the knife.
Charlie. Give me the knife!
No.
Talk. Stop.
Talk!
OK. Stop. Stop. You're gonna fucking kill him.
What should we do then?
You're dead.
We get the fuck out.
You conniving minge!
Whoa. Careful.
Don't upset the coffee.
I was dreaming.
I'd hate to see your nightmares.
Hey, you know what?
I'm gonna help you start breakfast this morning.
You don't have to.
Well, I want to.
And if you want to get a job,
whatever it is you want,
I'll support you.
Jesus, what's got into you today?
Maybe it's th-this Whelan fella.
What's that?
Well, you know, he had two daughters in England?
Really? Yeah.
He's over here in some shite hotel with a prostitute
doing God knows what.
And then he gets himself killed.
And what for?
And these post-mortems, Shell, they know what you ate last.
They weigh your heart. And they weigh your brain.
But really, they don't have a clue what's going on deep down inside.
Right.
Derek!
Derek, let's go. Come on, breakfast.
What the... Caitlin, Niall!
What's happening? Nothing.
What are you doing?
I'm making breakfast.
Hey, do you know how much water goes into this muck?
Hey, hey. No, no, no, no.
Oh. No, I'll get that. I'll do that.
Got it. Why is Dad cooking breakfast?
Uh, your dad wants to join us today.
Really? Yeah, is that so unusual?
Kind of is.
Never happened before.
Ah, Niall, what day is it?
Uh, babe? Tuesday.
Babe, the... the hobs are a wee bit high.
No.
I'll get Niall's things, you do the fry-up.
OK. Did you get sacked?
Because you didn't solve the case?
You got sacked?
I did not get sacked, OK?
This... this case, like all other cases, will get solved.
Many cases don't get solved, except for traffic violations.
Is it always like this?
They're just warming up.
Here, come on.
Are you not well?
Yeah, I'm starting to wonder. Did you take your pills?
OK, everybody, take a seat. Breakfast is served.
Dad, can we get plates? I'm not having breakfast.
I'll have an apple. You're having breakfast today.
I'll be late if I don't leave now.
You will not be late, OK?
You're gonna have breakfast with us.
Then I'll give you a lift to school. There are no plates.
But you don't have to.
It's settled, OK?
I'm giving you a lift. I board to school.
For fuck's sake. Did you hear a question there?
Get a plate and have some breakfast.
There are no plates.
Hey, Niall, come get your medicine.
Sorry.
You did that on purpose!
Ryan!
Come on.
You twos are dead.
I like you.
You fight with your brain.
Can I have a lift from Dad too?
Not today, Cait. Go on, go brush your teeth.
What?
Is he my dad?
The one next to you.
No, no, no.
Dad is your dad.
He was just... my boyfriend for, like, a minute.
I was very young.
I was careless, a little wild.
I got pregnant.
We're off.
Next time I offer to do breakfast, don't let me.
Ta. Be safe.
Does Dad know? Of course.
We know everything about each other.
You know, when I f-found this the other day,
it made me really sad.
Where's your baby?
She, erm...
She'd be about 20, I guess.
But I lost her.
Lost?
How do you lose... A miscarriage.
You know, sometimes, when there's something wrong or...
..when the baby's sick, a woman's body just knows.
And the pregnancy ends.
You lost her?
A girl?
Yeah.
That's why I was so thrilled when I got you.
That's a sad story.
Yeah.
Hi. You're so perfect.
So, what's the craic?
Hey!
What? So, what's the craic?
Nothing.
Well, you know you can, um...
Uh, well, you can talk to me, yeah?
Man to man.
I hear you fancy a girl and...
Are you and Shelly getting divorced?
What?
Now, where did that come from?
Divorced my mum.
Yeah, but that was different.
You cheat on her too?
I...
I was very young when I met your mum.
You're not young anymore.
Relationships are complicated.
Alright? Shelly and I are not divorcing.
Till death do us part.
All I'm trying to say here is Shelly loves you.
She loves Niall and Caitlin.
I remind her too much of you.
You OK, love?
Can a girl ask someone to the dance?
Of course.
Girls don't need to wait to be asked.
We have made some progress.
But what if the other person doesn't go to my school?
I think that's fine, as long as it's OK with his parents.
Who is it?
It's...
..Emma.
She says in Wisconsin, girls ask girls all the time.
Oh.
Do you... do you like Emma?
Why would I ask someone I didn't like to the dance?
No, I know you like Emma.
But do you, you know, do you f-fancy her?
Can I not ask a friend to the dance?
Of course. Of course.
We'll, uh, we'll have to get you a new dress. Or pants.
Trousers.
Or whatever. Whatever.
Yeah. OK.
Detective Uba.
"Detective Uba"? You being held hostage, Jason?
I'm just dropping my son off to school.
We, uh, found Mariama.
Do you mind just holding for a second?
Who's Mariama?
What are you doing?
You'll have to board the rest of the way.
Seriously? I'm already late.
I've got to follow up on this.
If anyone questions you at school, you just tell them that.
Yeah, that my dad has his head up his fucking hole. Prick!
Ah, Derek.
For fuck's sake.
What happened? She drown?
Martin does not deal in speculation.
But she was found in the water, her neck was broken.
Most likely dead before the tide took her.
Jesus. So...
Some kid found her bag at the edge of the cliff walk.
So, she fell from the cliff?
Suicide?
Sure.
What? You think she was pushed?
I think she was probably thrown like a bag of rubbish.
We've secured the walk and the overlook, looking for any clues.
I thought you'd want to see this.
Property of Measle-fuck.
Still think she killed herself?
And what's this on the calf?
Is that another magpie?
Maybe, abstracted?
Well, you're the bird expert.
Ornithologist?
