Hiya. Uh...
I was... I was told I could borrow money here.
Depends. Told by who?
Uh, Rory, at the pub.
He's... He's my uncle.
-You're Rory's nephew? -Mm.
You got collateral?
-Yeah. -
What, you a time traveler?
Did you just pop in from the late '90s?
That's worth feck all, mate.
This is what phones look like now.
This is all I have.
Since you're related to Rory, I'll trust you, just this once.
I'm not a time traveler.
Whatever you say, mate.
Hey, Rory doesn't have siblings.
-I'm a nihilist. -
Oh.
I thought it was just one drink.
Mm, yeah, well, we had one, and then we had a few more.
Any coffee?
Mm. Kitchen, black.
No sugar for me.
Okay.
Harry! -
-Harry, are you in there? -
Harry! Open up, it's Fergus!
- -I need your help!
Harry! Are you in there?!
It's Fergus! Open up!
[ Doorbell rings, knock on door ]
You'll never guess what happened.
This isn't a good time actually.
It's Happy.
He's heard about what you and I've been doing.
One of his loan sharks was murdered last night.
So? Call the guards.
He doesn't trust the guards!
I don't care! I'm not gonna help him.
He threatened to break your little sister's arm,
or have you forgotten that?
Course I haven't bloody well forgotten.
Look, he's promised to rip up
Malky's debt if we find out what happened.
- -Harry, I'm gonna do this
with or without you.
I'd prefer it to be with.
You can let yourself out when we're gone.
Wait, why are there two mugs out?
Oh, God.
Listen, whatever happens,
don't mention him threatening Liberty, okay?
Hm.
So you're her, eh?
No, she couldn't make it, so I came instead.
You what?
Yeah, yeah. Happy, this is Harry.
She was just joking.
Oh.
-You think is funny, do you? -No, I don't.
Much like threatening to break little girls' arms.
Business is business,
and you'd want to keep yours out of mine, love.
You invited me into your horrid little business.
Well, I can go, and you can find out what happened
to your employee on your own if you prefer.
He wasn't my employee.
He's my son.
No way.
Ringo was your son?
He was.
Except he didn't know.
We never told him.
Never told anyone.
Only me and his mammy knew.
You hungry?
Help yourself.
This is my restaurant.
You're my guests.
You're Mr. Pang?
No.
He's Pang.
Borrowed some money, couldn't pay it back.
Now I own a restaurant.
He loves me, the little fucker.
Says "Ah, Mr. Happy.
You make my life so much easier now."
I don't speak like that.
Have you no dishes to wash?
Ringo was a good boy.
A bit too nice to be a moneylender.
Lapped up all the sob stories.
Someone split his head in two with an ax.
We do this, I have conditions.
One, I'm not serving anyone up to be murdered back.
That's not happening, and there's no discussion.
Number two, when we're done, you rip up Malky's debt,
and you never go anywhere near Fergus' family again.
The mouth on this one.
I like you, Your Highness.
You've got balls.
I do.
Great big hairy ones.
So, let's go, shall we?
Where?
Scene of the crime.
Oh.
Don't touch anything.
The writing's part of a longer quote.
"The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
the deeper the grief, the closer is God."
God's nowhere near this place.
It was written by a poet, Apollon Maykov.
He was a friend of Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Heard of him?
Did he do the "Mr. Men" books?
"The Brothers Karamazov"?
"Crime and Punishment"?
"The Idiot"?
The quote is interesting
because it's often attributed to Dostoevsky.
Common misconception that it's in "Crime and Punishment."
It's not.
"Crime and Punishment's" interesting.
I must remember to put it on my reading list.
Raskolnikov, the main character, kills a moneylender...
albeit a woman in the book.
What's that got to do with anything?
Ringo wasn't a woman or a Russky.
He was a moneylender, and he was killed with an ax,
which is what Raskolnikov uses.
Wait, wait. So what's it about?
Raskolnikov thinks he's superior,
intellectually and in every other way.
He thinks he can get away with murder.
He kills the moneylender because he considers her a crook,
and then he accidentally kills her half-sister,
who's an innocent.
After that, he's racked with guilt,
and it leads to his undoing.
Ringo has a brother, right?
Toby?
Nothing to do with me, that one.
He's a mentally challenged young man.
Yeah, but he's also a half-brother.
We have to find Toby!
Derek, it's Happy. Listen, mate.
Derek, shut up.
Derek, stop fecking crying and put Sheila on the phone.
Now!
[ Keypad clicking, cellphone chimes ]
Sheila? Where's Toby?
We think whoever hurt Ringo might go after Toby, too.
Is he there?
God give me strength!
Sheila, just tell me where he is!
He's with the school.
They haven't told him about Ringo yet.
He's on a school trip, and she doesn't know where.
Have her call the school, find out.
Sheila, listen to me. This is important.
Call the school.
Find out exactly where he is and then call me back.
Have you got that?
She's doing it. Come on.
How do you know me brother?
Oh, we met recently and really hit it off.
He said you liked games.
I'm really good at "Gran Turismo."
He lets me play it on his PS4.
I'm not supposed to go off alone.
Ah, Toby, you're not alone.
You're with me.
Split up. We can cover more ground.
- Hello.
Is it you I have to send a message to?
My arms hurt.
Are you alright?
Did he harm you?
He was nice.
He was my friend.
His name was really hard to say.
Raskolnikov.
Yeah, that's it. Do you know him?
Where did he leave the message?
It tickled as he wrote it.
So you were wrong.
He's not copying "Crime and Punishment."
I never said he was.
He has an agenda, but he's not done yet.
Usual, please, June.
You'll never guess in a million years what happened to me.
