02x01 - Live and Let Doyle

[bunniefuu]

[Narrator] Previously, on Republic of Doyle.

[Tinny] Don't wait for orders.

Just go for it when the opportunity presents itself.

[Mal] You're welcome to stay at my house as long as you want. I trust you completely, and I know you'd never do anything to break that trust.

[Rose] Picture yourself on a beach somewhere.

[Mal] Shouldn't you be wearing a bikini?

[Rose] You get on a plane, and you fly away, and the world doesn't end while you're gone.

[Mal] That's a big number.

You're not actually thinking we should sell?

[Rose] Why would we want to sell this place, huh?

[Allison] Have you ever thought about what our next step would be?

[Jake] Allison, I don't think we should, you know, just move in together because we're both looking for a place to live.

[Bill] You were an officer, right? The R.N.C.?

[Jake] A long time ago, yeah.

[Bill] Mind if I ask what happened there?

[Jake] Yeah.

[Leslie] William Cadigan Clarke, I'm arresting ya on suspicion of fraud.

[Jake] He didn't do anything wrong.

[Leslie] I have my suspicions.

♪

[Karla] I appreciate you guys looking to this for us. I mean, with millions of dollars passing through here on their way to a.T.M.'S every day, no one gets through those doors without a security check.

[Jake] Well, um, my advice? I wouldn't hire any of these guys.

[Mal] None of them have records, but we were able to dig up accusations of petty theft and pilfering. That one has a gambling habit.

[Karla] Thanks again. Follow me.

And wait here, okay? I'll get the cheque.

[Mal] Honest to God, Jake. You have to hit on every single one of them?

[Jake] What b'y? Don't be such a prude. It's called flirting.

People under the age of, you know, 120, they tend to do it a lot. This place from the outside looks like a warehouse. You'd never know that every a.T.M. In the province is probably getting cash from this place. What do you want? I'm working?

[Des] Underwear.

[Jake] What?

[Des] Do you like them folded or rolled? Personally, I'm a rolled man myself.

[Jake] Why are you touching my underwear?

[Des] Oh, hey Tinny! Here's your bra.

[Jake] W-what did you just say to my niece?

[Des] Uh, I said, uh, I said, "what're ya at, bra."

[Tinny] Dessy's just being a good little housewife.

[Jake] Okay, you two. First of all, we gotta start laying down some house rules, all right?

[Tinny] Chill! We're fine.

[Des] ( Whispering ) is this Jake's?

[Jake] Rule #1: Never tell me to chill. Rule #2: Don't touch each other's underwear. Ever. Ever, ever.

[Tinny] Ah!

( glass shattering )

[Jake] Tinny? Tinny, what's happening?

[Crocker] Hey, kids!

[Tinny] Oh my God! Uncle Jake, there's a man in the house!

[Des] Ah! Ow!

[Crocker] C'mere! Woo!

[Jake] Tinny!

[Mal] What is it?

[Jake] I don't know!

[Des] You let go of her, or else!

[Crocker] That's some knight in shining armour you got there!

You best tend to him!

[Jake] Tinny! What's going on?

You have to talk to me!

[Crocker] Hey there, good buddy.

I'm so glad to hear you're doing well. It's been long time.

[Jake] Who is this?

[Crocker] Well, usually if you think real hard, you'd probably figure it out, partner.

[Jake] Crocker.

[Crocker] Oh! Gotta go! Got a couple of things that need to be stashed out of harm's way.

[Jake] Crocker!

[Crocker] Children!

Tell me!

[Jake] No. You don't know Crocker like I do, okay? The guy thinks I ruined his life. If we call the cops, he's liable to do anything.

[Mal] What's that supposed to mean?

[Jake] I dunno. We gotta find out what he wants, and we gotta find Tinny.

Malachy?

[Tarrant] I understand you were discrete at first. You and the mayor kept your personal relationship secret?

[Leslie] Yes.

[Tarrant] Why is that?

[Leslie] We were being careful.

Taking things slow. That's all.

[Tarrant] Sergeant, I am here working closely with the R.N.C.

As a special liaison investigating the mayor. He was your-- what? Partner, boyfriend?

I never know what to say these days.

[Leslie] Obviously, I ended my personal relationship with the mayor when I arrested him.

[Tarrant] Of course. Did you have any previous knowledge of his, uh... dealings?

[Leslie] No, I did not.

[Tarrant] Uh-huh. Sergeant Bennett, as an investigator and an officer, you are superb. So I find it hard to believe that you didn't even suspect anything.

[Allison] The sergeant hasn't committed a crime.

[Tarrant] Thank you, councillor.

That's very helpful for you to point out. I didn't realize you were here representing sergeant Bennett.

[Leslie] Do I need one? A lawyer?

[Tarrant] Honestly... I don't know.

[Leslie] I did nothing to compromise my position as an officer.

[Tarrant] I sincerely hope that is the outcome of this inquiry.

My recommendation is going to be that you are suspended with pay until we can confirm that you are in the clear. Oh! I do hope that you come to the party the r. N.C. Is throwing this afternoon for the new mayor.

It'd be good for you to show your face. Send the right message. You know, optics?

No heat, no food, no water.

10 years ago this week, you ratted me out.

[Jake] Look, you wanna take our history on me, that's fine, but you leave my family out of it.

[Crocker] I had to get your attention somehow. And the thing is you do have a beautiful family. And me? What do I have?

[Rose] Hello?

[Mal] Rose, I saw them on a video. They're alive at least.

It was some kind of abandoned warehouse.

[Rose] Okay, that's a lead, that's something.

[Mal] He had a take-out coffee cup in his hand. White cup with a black top.

[Rose] Okay, cup coffee, okay, that means he must've stopped somewhere.

[Mal] Which means he might be leaving a trail to where he's holding the kids. What'd you find out about Crocker?

[Rose] Kevin Crocker: Ex-R.N.C.; disappeared 10 years ago, charged with homicide, but he skipped out before he went to trial.

[Mal] That I remember.

[Rose] There were 2 witnesses to the m*rder: The victim's drug dealer boyfriend, and Jake.

[Jake] C'mon, let's go! Let's go!

♪

[Crocker] That's one hell of a stunt you pulled back there!

It's always good to know that you can rely upon your friends!

Heh.

[Jake] Where's my niece?

[Crocker] You seem kind of agitated. I dunno, was it something I said, or--

[Jake] Tell me where she is or I'll k*ll ya!

[Crocker] The thing is, if you k*ll me, you'll never find her.

Lads, now look, you got very little time left. You got even less negotiating power. You get me the money, you get the brats.

It's simple.

[Jake] You bring me to where she is, I see she's okay? Then Christian will bring you the money.

[Crocker] Buddy, how bout you let me work out the details?

Your brother stays with me, you go get the money.

[Jake] No way.

[Christian] Let's do what he says, Jake.

[Jake] No.

[Crocker] He's always such a control freak. Give me the firearm. The g*n, or your niece will rot. I'll call ya. Hurry. I think your brother's gotta learn how to relax.

[Christian] Let's just do this, eh?

[Des] Are you sure I shouldn't eat any of the salt beef?

[Tinny] We don't have any water, so I don't think you should eat 20 year old salt beef. Save your energy.

[Des] When did you decide to move to London? Because it's just so far away, you know?

Like, Corner Brook is close. St. John's is even closer.

[Tinny] We live in St. John's.

And going far away is kinda the idea.

[Des] I guess so, it's just... I guess I was just surprised, you know, because London England is like in England, which is not even north America, and no one will be there except for you. Is it me? Because I could move to London and you could stay if you want.

[Tinny] No! It's not you. I need to go for me. I'm sorry, but I do.

[Des] I dunno, Tinny. I just, I just feel like--

[Tinny] It's okay, it's okay. I know. I feel it too.

[Tarrant] Look, I like Jake. I think he has wonderful potential and ability. But if he is involved, he will have a very different future than I would've hoped for the boy.

[Mal] Really?

[Tarrant] A different future for you, too.

[Mal] My future is not in my own hand right now, and I'd k*ll someone to change that.

( knocking )

[Tarrant] Who's that, your lawyer?

[Rose] If you don't mind, I would like to have a word with my husband alone. Maybe talk some sense into him. It's time to face reality.

[Tarrant] Fine. Fine! I just hope that you are a Doyle who can see reason.

[Mal] Did you find them?

[Rose] Not yet, but I know how we will. Conroy.

[Mal] Dan, what're you doing?

You could lose your job for this!

[Conroy] Rose filled me in. I'd rather do a little more moose hunting anyway. I leave you to it.

[Mal] Thanks, man.

[Rose] Thank you.

[Mal] What're you doing?

[Rose] Okay, this is Crocker's phone. The link to the live feed will still be in its history.

Look! Oh my God, Mal! Des is hurt!

[Mal] Looks bad. Worse than before. What's that in the foreground? Is that a beef bucket?

[Rose] I don't know, I can't read the label.

[Mal] I recognize it. It says "trimmed naval beef." That company went under years ago.

( sighing )

[Mal] There's an old packing plant down on water street.

That's the place!

[Rose] Checking it out!

[Mal] Go!

[Leslie] What the hell do you think you're doing?

[Jake] Ah. Leslie, your timing for hiding in my living room and pointing a g*n at me couldn't be worse if you tried.

[Leslie] This is not a joke, Jake. You're in a lot of trouble.

[Jake] I can see that.

[Leslie] You're under arrest.

[Jake] Well, technically, you're suspended.

[Leslie] On your knees, now.

[Jake] Leslie, I don't have time for this. Tinny and Des have been kidnapped.

[Leslie] What are you talking about?

[Jake] And I've only got a few hours to get 'em back.

[Leslie] Jake, this is crazy.

Are you telling me the truth?

[Jake] I don't even know if Tinny's still alive, but I am going to find her. I have to.

And if the cops are involved, that guy... He'll k*ll her, and trust me, I know him. He'll do it.

[Leslie] This is not the way to fix this, Jake. I'm making you come with me.

[Jake] That's not gonna happen.

♪

[Jake] I love you. You can sh**t me later if you want.

♪

[Rose] Tinny?

[Tinny] Rose!

[Rose] Oh my God! You guys! Oh my God! Are you okay?

[Crocker] Hey-hey, hero! I was wondering when you were gonna show up! Drop the cash.

[Jake] We both know this has nothing to do with cash. It's about what happened 10 years ago.

[Crocker] Well, it's about both, really.

[Jake] You all right?

[Christian] I'm fine.

[Jake] Was that necessary?

[Crocker] I am sorry about that.

And now the time has come to put the past in the past, and it's time for me to put a b*llet through your brain.

♪

[Crocker] Money!

[Jake] I can't believe that you're blaming me for this.

After all these years? You're the one who k*lled that girl.

That was your decision all on your own.

[Crocker] But you're the one that turned me in. You turned me in for a junkie. She was nothing. I did this town a favour when I k*lled her.

[Jake] You keep telling yourself that, Crocker. You're a piece of crap, plain and simple. You were taking money from drug dealers, man. You're a crook. You were the biggest crook in town.

[Crocker] Ooh, and you're the big hero! Bringing down the mayor! Getting his picture in the paper! Saving the citizenry!

[Jake] You wanna k*ll me because I got my picture in the paper?

[Crocker] No. I wanted to k*ll you for a long time. I just needed something to get me off the couch. You know, last little push.

[Jake] What now?

[Crocker] Well, I'm gonna take the money, I'm gonna be gone.

And as for you...
[Jake] I think I can figure it out.

[Crocker] Ahh! God, what is that? Mace?! What are you, a girl?

[Jake] Arsehole!

[L[Leslie] Hold it right there!

[Hood] He's out cold.

[Jake] Took ya long enough.

[Leslie] You're lucky c came at all.

[Tarrant] Nice idea, Bennett.

Follow Jake Doyle and look what happens.

[Jake] Good to see you again.

[Tarrant] Bennett.

[Leslie] You're under arrest, Jake Doyle.

[Leslie] Jake Doyle's phone.

Thank you. Des and Tinny are safe.

[Jake] Thank you. You can sh**t me now if you want to.

[Leslie] Don't tempt me.

[Hood] C'mon, Doyle. Come on.

Take it easy.

[Tarrant] Well, it's been quite an eventful day for you. Foiled an armed robbery, recovered the stolen money, took down a fugitive.

[Jake] Well, you can get a lot done when you're motivated.

[Tarrant] You know that, uh, I can't charge you with any crime.

There's no hard evidence. You pulled this off perfectly.

[Jake] Accusations are certainly not appreciated. So, am I good to go here, or... [Tarrant] Sure! Too bad your father isn't.

[Jake] What?

[Tarrant] Well, you I have nothing on, but Malachy? I think I could build a pretty compelling case.

[Jake] What do you want? Is this a joke?

[Tarrant] Some people might think so, but I'm deadly serious. St. John's is moving towards major organised crime.

The R.N.C.'S well on top of it, but I'm starting up a special task force, and I want you to head it.

[Jake] I'm not interested.

[Tarrant] Ah, no, you don't get it. This is not an offer. It's an ultimatum. Either you pay for your actions by helping me, or... [Jake] Or?

[Tarrant] Or I proceed with charges against your father to the full extent of the resources available to me. He may end up in the clear, but it won't be an easy ride for him. Think about that. We could use you. Your city could use you. Try not being selfish for once in your life.

♪

[Des] So I told the doctors, I said no, no. No painkillers necessary. I can take it.

[Tinny] That was right after he puked on her shoes.

[Des] What? No, no, no, that was from the concussion, not from the leg, thank you very much!

[Tinny] Oh.

[Christian] To Des, the hero.

[Tinny] Yes, b'y, Des the hero!

Cheers!

[Jake] Hey. There you are.

How're you doing?

[Mal] It's been a good run, Jake.

[Jake] I think I know what that means. You sure about this, skipper?

[Mal] Orson Welles once said, "if you want a happy ending, you need to know when to end your story."

[Jake] Yeah, but dad, it's not exactly like you're dying or anything.

[Mal] That's kinda the point.

[Jake] Are you sure that you're sure?

[Mal] Nope, but I think it's time. I'm lucky to have you.

It's been a hell of a ride.

[Jake] Cheers to that.

[Rose] Hey. What's going on?

[Jake] Well, he's all yours. You should be very careful, because he's a real crooked arse, especially around noon.

[Rose] Um, so... [Mal] Yeah. Think it's time to call it in. So what do you say?

You wanna take a real long vacation with me?

[Rose] Yes. Hey, what about you?

What're you gonna do?

[Jake] Oh, I'll be fine. You know, it's time I took off my training wheels anyway, right?

Plus, they offered me a job.

[Mal] To new beginnings.

[Jake] To new endings.

[Rose] To not getting shot.

[Jake] Uh, heh. Uh, why? Are you... Are you okay? What happened?

[Leslie] You used my access card. To find out about Crocker's transfer.

[Jake] Okay, um, Leslie, please.

[Leslie] And then you broke Crocker out of custody.
