Have you seen Fergus Foley this morning?
(men grunting) ♪ Hey!
Hey!
Fergus Foley.
What are you thinking of?
Brawling like some kind of hallion.
(Fergus) I wasn't brawling.
That guy attacked me.
(Concepta) Are you bleeding?
(Fergus) Don't think so.
This must have come off the other fella.
(Concepta) What was it, some sort of mugging?
(Fergus) Aye, I, I reckon so.
I think he was after my wallet.
(Concepta) Did he get it?
(Fergus) I was too strong for him.
(Concepta) A mugging.
In Port Devine, in broad daylight.
(Fergus) There's no need.
Wait till my Finn hears about this.
♪ (dog barking) (seagulls squawking) (Pettigrew) So you were sitting here, enjoying the view, and this fella came out of nowhere?
(Fergus) Exactly.
(Pettigrew) Okay, and you didn't recognize him?
(Fergus) Never seen him before.
(Pettigrew) Can you describe him?
(Fergus) Stocky, shortish, about 5'8", blonde hair.
(Concepta) Tall, very tall, dark hair.
Aren't you going to write that down?
(Callum) Yeah.
Of course, yeah.
(Concepta) I only saw him from the back, mind, as he scuttled off.
It's lucky I turned up when I did.
I was looking for Fergus.
I need to talk to him about fish.
(Callum) Anything else you can remember about the assailant?
He had a green jacket on.
It put me in mind of the sort of thing the staff wear down at the golf club.
(Callum) Oh, enjoy a wee round, do you, Concepta?
(Concepta) It's Mrs. O'Hare to you, Cub.
And, no, I do not.
Daft way to spoil a perfectly good walk.
(Pettigrew) It's a funny place to mug someone.
I mean, it's hardly a dark alley in the dead of night, is it?
(Fergus) Don't look at me, I'm the victim here.
(Pettigrew) No, of course you are.
Sorry.
(dramatic music) ♪ I'm just saying, if I was a mugger, I wouldn't do it by the harbor wall and in broad daylight.
(O'Hare) So you think there's more to it?
I'm sure of it.

(Callum) Fergus Foley?
I've played five-a-side with him a few times.
He's decent enough, gets his round in.
He's the chef at The Commodore.
They have a chef?
(Pettigrew) Yeah, Nicole hired him after the whole spit-roast debacle at her wedding.
(Callum) Fergus told the Sarge that the assailant was stocky, blonde, 5'8".
Your mum swore he was skinny, dark, and over six foot.
They can't both be right.
My money's on Fergus.
You're saying Concepta's not to be trusted?
I'm saying she's a very stubborn woman who won't get an eye test.

Like the workers wear down the golf club.
Should we take that seriously?
Got anything else to go on?
In a word?
No.

I reckon she invented this mystery man to spare my feelings.
Seems a bit elaborate.
Like, if we did have a relationship... (Pettigrew) That's a mighty big "if."
(Callum) Things could get complicated, like when we're working together.
That's why she made this fella up, to let me down gently.

(Barry) Yeah!
(Pettigrew) Yoo-hoo!
Hiya, Dot.
You all right?
Ooh.
You didn't tell me you were courting.
I'm not.
Dot usually plays with Ginette Prince, and Ginette's still a wee bit under the weather.

(Pettigrew) Yeah, attempted robbery at the harbor this morning.
Witness reckoned the suspect was wearing one of the green club jackets.

Do you know his name?
Sure.
Young Eddie McNulty.

What?
So Eddie McNulty is the one who did the dirt with the Inspector's wife.
He's the reason Siobhan left Port Devine.
Great.

Marlene.
(Pettigrew) This is my colleague, Police Constable Callum McCarthy.
(Callum) Aye.
I've seen you about the place.
