- You are living proof of

- The quote seems like
an appropriate choice,

craving immortality.

"Consume my heart away;
sick with desire

And fastened to a dying animal

It knows not what it is;
and gather me

Into the artifice of eternity."

Jamie was a cliché.

The paps painted him
as this bad boy.

any one of them.

No offense

But Jamie was more than that.

And that week there,

he was donating bone marrow
to his cousin.

- What?

- His cousin has leukemia,
and he told nobody,

with everything to live for

would agree to help
a dying relative

and then just k*ll himself?

Well, it's certainly unusual.

You didn't know?

No, he never said.

Why didn't you tell me, Cora?

He asked me not to.

- But you're his dad

the boys their own label branch,

the band decided that all albums

much of himself, Keith.

Joined the lads' school
when he was 16,

latched onto their friend group.

He came up with the idea
of the band.

Always wanted it to be
something different, though.

He thought his lyrics
had meaning.

I mean, he was smart
to an extent.

He knew that Jamie
would be a problem

if the band went into
the realm of pop.

Jamie would shine.

Keith was a bit
on the large side.

He wasn't a particularly
good-looking kid,

so the goth stuff suited him.

Do you know where he is now?

Honestly, no.

When he left the band,
he claimed he was going off

to live the quiet life,
cottage, somewhere rural,

Donegal, I think, where he could
paint his masterpiece.

I know this
because I paid him off

to make sure that he wouldn't go

and write a big book
of revelations.

What revelations?

- Uh, a tell-all.

He threatened to reveal
all the band's secrets --

who hated who, who couldn't
sing, so on, vicious stuff.

How much did you pay him?

those lads went on to earn

before they lost it all,
Keith would've made a fortune.

a k*ller, Robbie?

If our theory is right,

he's coming after
the rest of you.

Wouldn't it be better
to know when?

- We can go together,
and then you can tell the world

how you helped to find
Jamie's m*rder*r.

Chris?

What the hell
are you doing here?

Where's Keith?

Get on the crate, Robbie.

sh*t. He has a g*n.

- Oh, Christ.
Uh, message Charlie.

- He'll have shot him
or hanged him

by the time
the Guards get here.

We'll have to stall him.

Jesus! Harry!

No, wait, you're Keith.

How did you know?

The Gweedore seaweed drink.

Gweedore is in Donegal,
where you own a cottage.

- The one you bought after
John Dawson paid you off.

- People on diets drink buckets
of that seaweed stuff.

You became a fitness fanatic
after you left the band.

- You cut your hair,
you lost the weight,

but what really helped you
to hide your identity

was how self-obsessed
the boys were.

- Self-obsessed sums them up.

Get on the crate.

- Whoa, whoa,
what are you doing, Keith?

We're here, we've seen you.
What's the point in this?

- I had a plan --

Jamie throwing himself
off the roof,

Robbie hanging himself
after the tragedy,

Nick and Emmanuel
dying in a car crash.

Oh, yeah, I've tampered
with Emmanuel's brakes,

and him and Nick are on their
way right now to meet a journo

who's dying to interview them.

Get on the crate!

- But we're witnesses, right?
The police will know it was you.

Well, plan's changed.

Luckily I've got enough b*ll*ts
for all of you.

Get on the crate!

[ Shuddering ]

[ g*nsh*t ]

Oh!

Okay, okay.

[ Breathing shakily ]

Rope around your neck.

Do it,
or I'll sh**t you, anyway.

- Wait. No, wait,
y-you're the real poet

in the band, aren't you?

That's why you put that
suicide note in Jamie's jacket.

Yeats, wasn't it?

- Well, those idiots could
never appreciate my genius.

Emmanuel! Where are you?

You okay?

[ Breathes heavily ]

They were suspicious
after we called them.

They're safe.

Um...

Can I get down?

- As you all know,
my relationship with Jamie

wasn't always,
well, the best.

I knew he was a talent,
but sometimes --

now, forgive me, Cora --
I thought he was hard work.

But when I heard that he was
donating his bone marrow,

in Jamie's honor,
I'm stepping in.

I've done the test,
and I'm a match.

Uh, I'll do it for my nephew
but also for my son.

- To Jamie.
- To Jamie!

Ahh!

- Have you got any plans
after this?

Because I know a place
that serves fine wine

to people who age
like fine wine.

- Thank God I have
somewhere to be.

- Well, maybe you'll reconsider
after this.

Harry?

- If it's a girl,
will you call her after me?

It's a boy!

It's alright love, I'm here.

- Oh...
- Someone boil a kettle!

Harry, what else do I need?!

- Fergus, for Christ sakes,
calm down.

Deep breaths, Cora,
deep breaths.

[ Both breathe deeply ]

We'll get rid
of these stupid men.

Get out!

That's good.

Deep breaths. Oh, you've got it,
Cora, you've got it.

kid has to take the spotlight.

Mmm.

[ Swallows ] Ahh.

Thanks, Glenn.

- I've had a day. [ Chuckles ]
- Sorry to hear that, Harry.

If it was anything like mine,
I can only imagine.

- Well, what happened to you?
- Found out June's not coming back.

She's left me in charge
of The Goose forever.

- Well, that's good news,
isn't it?

I mean, you seem to be
enjoying it.

Yeah, probably right, Harry.

Gotta be fate,
though, ain't it, eh?

Me being here just when
June's life fell apart?

I mean, I know
I'm never not here,

but [sighs] still,
it's uncanny.

Anyway, time for me
to stop gabbing

and start pulling up
my big-boy pants

and run this pub
into the ground.

- I'm not entirely sure
that's what you meant.

- Mm. [ Laughs ]
- Hmm?

- Never mind.
Don't worry about it.

♪♪

[ Sighs ]

Thank you for asking to meet.

- You don't know what
I'm going to say yet.

- But I know you've got
Fergus' best interests at heart.

And you're also a mother,

so you can understand
where I'm coming from.

Mm, I'm not sure that I do.

- I can't keep apologizing
for walking out.

But I've come back
to do the right thing.

Liberty needs her mother.

Fergus has his life here,
I get that.

I still hope
he'd come and visit.

- You're speaking like someone
who thinks they've already won.

You've seen Malky.

Regardless of how good a job
Fergus has done,

Malky's not a fit father.

I need your help, Harry.

I need Fergus to understand.

I just don't want this
to become bitter.

Paula, youneed to understand

that what you did
was unforgivable.

This isn't about Malky or you.

Fergus stepped in
when you stepped out,

and he made a happy home
for Liberty.

And you want to destroy it?

You want to take her away
and break his heart

just so you can feel a little
bit better about yourself?

- Is your own relationship
with your son so good

that you can preach to me?

- Parent-child relationships
are difficult,

but I've always
put my son first.

Paula, if you don't stop this,
you're going to lose everything.

- Oh, you're right.
I doneed to put them first.

And that is exactly
what I'm doing,

whether you agree or not,

because they are mychildren,
not yours.

- And that's what
she does best...
