Yes?

Harry?

We're questioning a person
of interest

in relation to a m*rder.

She says you're her alibi.

Which person?

- What m*rder?
- Uh, Evelyn Summers?

- Evelyn? You're kidding.
Evelyn wouldn't hurt a fly.

- Well, a m*rder was committed
on her property last night.

Coroner said it happened
at approximately 11:00 p.m.

She claims she was with you
in The Hairy Goose.

- She was.
I mean, she came in

to -- to organize a party
with Glenn.

We left after midnight.

Wait, wait.

Who's dead?

Uh, Harry, I have to go.

We'll release Evelyn,
but she's a bit shaken.

Any chance you can pick her up?

Yeah, of course.

Great, bye.

- There were all these dead fish
in my pond, you see?

And at first, I thought
it was a nasty prank

by one of the rival villages.

You know what they've been up
to already, Harry.

Dead rats in the park,
leaking sewage on Main Street.

A rival village?

- What?
- Uh, I'll explain later.

Evelyn,
did you know the victim?

It's George, Harry.

My George.

Oh, my God.

Your George?

I'm sorry, who's George?

- My husband,
he left me last year.

- So, that's why they brought you
into the station?

- Well, that and the fact
that he was in my fish pond.

I'm lost.

Why would the police assume
you'd m*rder*d your husband?

- He only went and nicked
her life savings, didn't he?

When he did his runner.

Thank you, Glenn.

Evelyn reported him
to the police.

- Yeah, but I retracted
the statement.

I didn't want him punished,
it wasn't his fault.

George had a gambling problem.

- Yeah, he did too,
lost every bet.

Terrible bad luck if you ask me.

- Glenn, why don't you get --
get Evelyn another brandy,

- would you?
- Right, yeah.

Sorry for your troubles, Evelyn.

You know, if you are thinking
of having a wake,

Petra's doing
a very good deal

on those little triangular
sandwiches for --

- Glenn.
- Right, yeah.

- Do the police know
what happened, Evelyn?

They haven't told me anything.

Can you talk to Charlie?

Yes, of course.

Do you know
why George came back?

- I don't even know
where he's been.

I haven't spoken to him
since he left.

Our only communication
was a letter

when he apologized
and begged for forgiveness.

He said he was going
to join Gamblers Recovery.

I did forgive him, Harry,
I did.

He didn't deserve this.

Please find out who hurt him.

What's all this about
a rival village

and rats and sewage
and all that?

- You never heard of the
Vibrant Villages Competition?

- The what-y-what now?

- Villages all over the country
take part in the spring.

It's a kind of an atmosphere
for the community,

clean streets, nice parks.

- Never thought you'd be
into something like that.

- Oh, no, I love looking out
of the window

and watching them
prepping the square

with a glass of wine
in my hand cheering them on,

whilst I'm all nice
and warm and dry.

Anyway, Evelyn's chair

Oh, Jesus.

Village Competition Committee.

- Right, and all
the sabotage stuff?

- Well, we've won it four years
in a row

under Evelyn's stewardship,
and it can get very competitive.

Things started to get
a bit nasty.

Hmm.

- Anyway, the rival villagers
will be rubbing their hands

in glee now that
Evelyn's distracted.

- Yeah, but they didn't
k*ll her ex

to mess with a silly
little competition?

- Well, I mean, that would be
a bit extreme

for a trophy, wouldn't it?

Oh.

So, what have you discovered?

- No small talk then?
- Ah.

- Evelyn wants us to find out
what happened to George.

- [ Chuckles ]
What a plot twist.

- Did he drown?
- No.

- Shot? Strangled? Stabbed?
- We'll keep going.

Ugh, give me strength.

It was a blow to the head.

We've taken a garden gnome
into evidence.

- Oh, a k*ller gnome.
- I'm glad you find it amusing.

So, how well did you know
George, Harry?

You've known Evelyn for what,


- Well, they've only been married
for a couple of years

and, uh, I didn't spend
much time with George.

He did rack up
a lot of gambling debts

and he totally
screwed Evelyn over.

We know.

So why was he back?

You tell me.

- We can't even find
an address for him.

We have him
on the doorbell camera

knocking at around 10:50,
then he turns his head

as though he's being called
by somebody into the garden.

Why put him in her fish pond?

- The next-door neighbors
were having a party.

They came out just after 11:00
and set off fireworks.

My guess, they scared
off the k*ller

before he or she had time to do
anything else with the body.

to kick his gambling habit?

even know where he lived.

How can we find out
if he had any debts?

I might have an idea.

- You know what?
I might have an idea, too.

to scare her a little.

That's the business I'm in.

Brick through a window,

broken finger or two,
old school.

But I'm not in the business
of kidnapping or m*rder.

- Oh, you're an honorable
money lender?

And yet you tried to scare the
life out of my colleague here.

- It wasn't --
it wasn't that scary.

Well, you should've been.

I should thank you for leading
us to Evelyn Summers.

We knew George had an ex
somewhere with a few bob,

but for some reason, he seemed
reluctant to tap her for cash.

His debt is now her debt.

Now, I think you two
should leave

before I get one of me boys
to give you a hand out

and don't even think

about ringing
your little Garda pig pal.

That Garda was my son.

Alright, thanks, thank you.

Um, you've all heard our dear,
dear Evelyn is missing.

We're going to help
the police form a search party.

We will look everywhere
until we find our beloved chair.

And if she is gone from us
forever,

she will stay in our hearts.

Dear God.

I've all my men ready to go.

We'll search the seafront,

the parks,
knock on every door.

We'll not rest
until we find her safe.

- I imagine she's done a runner
because she m*rder*d her hubby

and ran off
with the competition prize.

- Right, you little f*ck,
come here!

- Stuart!
- Great.

Hey, alright, come on.

- He's the perfect specimen
of manhood, isn't he?

See how strong he is?

Do you want one of these
for the search by the way?

We're helping all we can.
It's only a fiver a flask.

Break it up.

Hey, don't even think about it.

What age are you, hey?

Come on, grow up!

- Where's Laura?
- What?

Oh, her, she said
she might go off

for a few days
so she wasn't at risk.

Why would she be at risk?

- The vice chair has the other
half of the passcode

on the competition account.

It's a security measure.

Laura's got it in her head
some money lender has taken

Evelyn to force her to reveal
her part of the code

and Laura's next.

Why didn't she tell us that?

♪♪

Laura?

Laura, are you here?

- No signs of a break-in
in the kitchen or in here,

but that back-door lock
was very easy to break, Harry.

A bit empty, isn't it?

Yeah, it's weird.

Huh.

Just a few coins in the drawer,

Look, I don't want
to hurt you, okay?

I just need your help with the
passcode for the bank transfer,

and then I will send
Harry a text

and let her know
exactly where you are.

I'm not dangerous.

You're not dangerous?

You attacked me...

and you k*lled my George.

Yeah, but that was necessary.

- Fergus, these coins
are Gamblers Recovery chips.

You get these
with every milestone.

Laura's been in and out of it
for years

by the looks of things.

- So you're saying
that she knew George?

- I imagine so,
but her little plan,

it was inspired by a book
she read --

Henry James'
"The Golden Bowl."

It's about a man who falls in
love with an impoverished woman,

but he marries a rich heiress,

then he and the first
girlfriend,

conspire to swindle the heiress.

- Well, where could
she have taken Evelyn?

Oh, hang on, there's one place

that Stuart is staying
out of all week,

and chances are Laura
would've known about it.

Where's that?

- The school building
he's renovating.

Fergus, you bloody genius.

♪♪

- George told me
everything about you.

He was so eager to do well
in Gamblers Recovery.

I think he thought
you'd take him back.

But the whole time all I heard
was Evelyn's so good,

she wins
that competition every year.

He trusted you.

I needed him to.

I didn't have his willpower.

I'd started gambling again
and...

I owed a lot more money
than George.

I learned everything about you,
your parents' breakup,

your a*usive dad,
how you hated Rob Rogers.

It was...

It was so easy
to insert myself into your life.

I tried to be a friend to you.

George tried to be a friend
to you.

He did,

until he realized
I was gonna scam you.

He found out I was here
and somehow put it all together.

That night I warned him
to stay away,

but he insisted
on going to you.

He wanted to be your knight
in shining armor.

Gobshite.

You really are an evil b*tch.

Evelyn's fine.

Stuart's bringing
her home after a check-up.

Sounds like a very happy man.

Wow, poor Anna.

Yeah, indeed.

I guess Stuart now has a shot
at Evelyn's affections.

Speaking of young love,
where's Lola?

I thought she was coming here
with you, Charlie?

- She changed her mind,
said she was studying.

On her own or...?

I dunno.

Oh, um, by the way,
you don't need to worry

about Bridie Cullen anymore.

Your recording of her
admitting to one of her boys

throwing that brick

was all we needed
to give her a good scare.

Harry's idea.

Mm, a bloody good one.
