I was changing the station on the radio.
And that's when she ran out in front of you?
Well, to tell you the truth, I've no idea.
I just looked up and she was there.
(Marlene) What speed were you doing?
I was still in second gear.
No, I swear, I was.
I could lose my license.
I won't be able to taxi.
(Marlene) Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?
-Here, she left this.
-Okay.
(Callum) I went right to the top of the road.
-There was no sign of her.
-Okay, well, I'll alert the hospital to be on the lookout for her, and you can breathalyze Barry.
It's 9:00 in the morning.
(Marlene) You were a by-the-book officer, and so am I.
Here, Barry.
(beeping) (Barry) Oh, dear Lord.
If there's a wrong end of a stick to be got, that one will grip it with both hands.
(Marlene) I'm sorry, Barry.
We should've done that in the car.
I didn't realize the Stasi were such early risers.
(Barry) I wonder where that crazy woman was running off to.
(Marlene) To tell everyone she meets, probably, knowing her.
-What?
-Huh?
No, I mean the woman I hit with the car.
(Marlene) Oh.
Ah, well, wherever she is, don't you worry.
We'll find her, okay?
(Barry) Oh, there was one thing I did notice.
-She was wearing flip-flops.
-In this weather?
(Callum) Maybe she'd had a pedicure?

♪ (birds squawking) ♪ (Finn) As we've got a high-risk missing person, I've asked Leila to work on the case, okay?
-Any word from the hospital?
-No one matching the victim's description or injuries yet.
And who does the wallet belong to?
(Callum) An Andrew Wilson.
I just spoke to him.
I think he's local, but there's a Belfast address on the license.
(Finn) I used to know an Andy Wilson round here.
Absolute ganch.
Show me the license.
-Ganch?
-Yeah, it's not a swear word, but it's not a term of endearment either.
(Finn) I mean, it could be him, the age fits.
So, if the owner of the wallet can't identify her, is there any other lines of inquiry?
(Leila) The cigarettes are foreign.
If she bought them locally, maybe the seller can identify her.
(Finn) Great, let's get cracking.
I could look into the cigarettes for you, if you want?
(Leila) Thanks, Marlene.
(Finn) Leila, have you got a wee minute?
(muffled telephone ringing) Nice to see you and Marlene are getting on.
Well, we're not exactly Cagney and Lacey, but it'd be a real shame if I had to leave now.
(Finn) Don't tell me we're growing on you?
It took a while to adjust, but life in Port Devine does have its attractions.
Listen, I think we got your photo down before your whereabouts were blown.
But the slightest hint that your safety's compromised, that the criminal gang know where you are, you'll be out of here as quick as a shot.
I bet you say that to all the girls under threat.

How'd you get on with the cigarettes?
(Marlene) Well, the brand is only sold in Albania, not legally imported into this country, so the likelihood is she brought them herself.
-Good.
-But I'll check to see if anyone's selling them under the counter.
We need to get her medical attention as soon as possible.

Are you on glue?
No, you're right, love.
We'll find somewhere better.
You're right, we will.
But you know what I really want more than anything is for us to have the same wedding car as my parents had.
(Clint) Ah, sure, who knows where that car is now?
I do.
It was sold to that old recluse.
Herbie McGraw?
How are we going to get it off Herbie McGraw?
Well, if you love me, you'll find a way.
(Barry) You haven't seen a young woman about today?
A wee scrap of a thing, early twenties, wearing flip-flops?
(Nicole) Is that the girl you ran over earlier?
(Barry) Ran over?
She practically threw herself in front of my car.
It's just as well I still have lightning reflexes.
How many points is it that you have on your license?
That is neither here nor there.
(Clint) Here, you look like you could do with a brandy, calm them nerves.
(Barry) I never drink in the middle of the day.
-It's medicinal.
-Thanks, but no.
(Concepta) A bit late to be abstaining now.

(Concepta) Never mind drinking.
When did you last have your eyes checked?

Holy St. Christopher, what if it had been a wee one on a bicycle?

Did you see a young woman, early twenties, dark hair?
Perhaps she was wearing flip-flops?
(Andrew) Um... No, no, I don't think so.
Why, did she hand it in?
Not exactly.

♪ They don't sell that brand.
♪ (Concepta) He shouldn't be allowed on the road anymore.
I saw him being breathalyzed this morning at the scene of the crime.
-Collision.
-Whatever.
(Finn) Ma, Barry wasn't drinking.
-So he says.
-And now I'm saying it.
And the incident will be investigated.
(Concepta) By his stepdaughter?
Marlene will take a backseat on the case.
(Concepta) I suppose he's just going to get a rap over the knuckles if that poor girl's found dead in a ditch.
(Finn) Would you catch yourself on?
And stop making out like he killed her.
I know you think he should be canonized, but Barry Pettigrew is no saint.
Barry was the only officer in this community everybody could trust, even in the bad old days.
So that makes him saint enough for me.
Well?
(Callum) No one saw the collision.
But the lady at 36 saw the girl Barry hit running away and said she dropped this.
Looks like blood to me.

I had one too many and fell asleep on the sofa.
Did she stay over?
I've no idea.
Uh, when I woke in the morning, she was gone.
When did you notice your wallet was missing?
To be honest, uh, I only realized when you called to say it was found.

So is she in hospital?
(Leila) To be honest, we have no idea where she is.
She fled the scene.
♪ (buzzing, door opening) You should've heard all the questions he had about Nadia.
I was starting to wonder who was conducting the interview.
Sounds like someone has a crush on the girl who robbed him.
-Isn't that a teeny bit weird?
-No.
Sadly, it's not odd for these parts.
(buzzing) Any leads?
(Callum) This was handed in.
They found it on East Road.
Which is here.
The collision happened here.
So she was on her way towards Tey Road.
-What's up there?
-Not much.
A few houses, an old garage.
(Callum) A car wash now.
(Finn) Any luck with Andrew Wilson?
(Leila) Says he met her in a pub, took her back to his, and then this morning she disappeared with his wallet.
Seems like a bit of a lonely guy.
That doesn't sound like the fella I used to know.
-Marlene, can I have a wee word?
-Yeah.
Come on in.
-See that wee girl this morning?
-Mm-hm.
(Barry) She was seen, up near the new car wash -on the Tey Road.
-Oh, you haven't been out looking for her, have you?
(Barry) No.
Someone told me they saw her.
See, I know I drive a wee bit fast, but I am always careful.
In all my years behind the wheel, I have never had an accident.
(Finn) Barry.
You go looking for that poor girl, people are going to think you're trying to get to her first so you can influence her statement.
With all your years on the force, you should know that.
(Marlene) Callum will see you home.
-Ah, no, you're all right.
-No, Callum will take you.
He's going up that way.
On your way back, get me the CCTV footage from Tey Road.
Let's see where Nadia was headed.
Yes, Inspector.
I hate seeing him like this.
Me too.

-Yeah.
-Okay, I'll come with you.
Okay.

I thought he was your mom's mortal enemy?
(Finn) He is.
But that doesn't make him mine.
Barry's the reason I joined the service.
When my dad left, I was a bit wild.
See, that's how I know Andrew Wilson.
(Leila) A pair of naughty boys, eh?
(Finn) There was a whole gang of us.
All young and stupid.
(Leila) Oh, yeah?
How stupid?
A dare to impress a girl.
I stole a bottle of vodka from the shop to take it up to the old tower.
Barry caught me before the owner noticed.
And he could've come down really hard on me, but he didn't.
And then after that he-- he looked out for me.
(Leila) Stealing vodka to impress a girl, eh?
Funny how we caught your son doing exactly that.
(Finn) Yeah, so we did.
Apples never fall far from the tree, eh?
(Leila) No.
(soft music) But I don't get it, though.
If Barry was such a good influence, why has Concepta got it in for him?
(Finn) When I told her I was joining the police, she said Barry Pettigrew might as well have just stuck a target on my back.
♪ (Leila) My dad is like your mom.
He doesn't think I have any business being in the force either.
Has he got a Barry to blame?
(Leila) No, just me.
I went to a career's fair and thought it sounded exciting.
When I told my Dad, he said, "Absolutely no way."
So I signed up the next day.

-No, it was mine.
(Finn) Your unethical behavior better not have cost us this investigation.
Guys, that is not how we do things here!
Better not happen again, okay?
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
(Finn) All right.
(Marlene) Seriously?
Is that it?
Marlene, we've bigger fish to fry right now.
Get back in there.
And get me a true account, so we can throw the book at this ganch.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Sir, I think we're wasting our time.
We won't be able to get Rona to talk to us until she knows that Endi doesn't reject her.
Okay.
So what do you suggest?
(Rona) Did you speak to my husband?
Did he see the photo they took of me?
♪ He knows it wasn't your fault.
No, he will divorce me.

Please, Rona.
(Callum) I can't believe he's going to walk.

I'm delighted to hear you found that wee girl and it all worked out well for you, Baz.

According to the comments, Herbie had you arrested.
(Clint) No, he didn't.
Finn talked him out of it.
Are you deliberately trying to scupper my dream wedding?
(Clint) And why would I do that?
Because you don't really want to marry me.
-What?
-You only asked because you were afraid I was going to dump you over the dodgy vodka business.
Oh, yeah, that's the only reason.
It's all about the vodka.
Do you know, if that's what you think, maybe we shouldn't get married.
Fine.
The wedding's off.
