♪♪ Come on, Chloe, keep up!
I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
[Luke laughs] The fresh air.
You can taste it.
[car engine roars] [tyres screech] -[loud crash] -What was that?
Sounded like a car crash.
[Luke] It's Nicole.
This is Detective Constable Luke Jackson.
I'm gonna need an ambulance to Ballymountain Road.
We've got a heavily pregnant woman involved in an RTC.
No signs of any trauma or visible injury.
No other injured persons.
Injured party is still in the vehicle.
Nicole.
It's Chloe Jackson.
Can you hear me?
[Nicole groans] The baby... I think my waters have broken!
Don't you worry.
The ambulance is on its way.
♪♪ This is good of you, Eve.
But I could have managed.
We both know this was aimed at the pair of us.
"Killers" not "killer".
Hello, son.
Where are you headed?
I'm going to the shops for Granny.
She's never heard of online shopping.
What's this?
Mindless vandalism.
I'm lending Marlene a wee hand to get rid of it.
-[Ross] Right.
-See you later.
Sorry, your husband's not picking up.
-I've left a message... -I can't do this on my own.
I'm sure Clint won't be long.
He's at a country music festival in County Fermanagh!
Why don't I come to the hospital with you?
Um, yes, please, I'd like that.
[siren approaches] [Luke] Let me know how you get on.
[Chloe] OK, Dad.
Nicole's waters have broken.
[Ryan] What, because of the crash?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Her car's taken some impact.
So, the guy did a runner, then?
Guys.
Plural.
Both doors are open.
[siren wails] Right, I'll call this one in, see if I can find out -who the registered driver is.
-OK.
Papa Delta eight two to Control.
Over.
[Control] Go ahead, Papa Delta eight two.
Yeah, just looking at a wee VRN check on reg HFZ 3281.
That's Hotel Foxtrot Zulu three two eight one.
Over.
What are you doing here?
Just out for a walk.
What's happened?
-Someone ran into Nicole.
-Is she OK?
What about the baby?
[Luke] Well, Nicole's in one piece.
But it looks like she's gone into labour.
That's mad!
Sure, I was only at the hospital with her yesterday for a check-up.
And everything was fine.
[Control] Vehicle registered to Jed Callaghan of Seaview Road, Port Devine.
Clint's away.
She's gonna want me to open up the bar.
Can you give me a lift?
You've finished your hike now, have you?
Yeah, it wasn't a hike!
It's a wee dander.
So, what's this I hear about you and Marlene Pettigrew out at the crack of dawn, painting a wall?
How did you hear about that?
My friend Phyllis from Bible class was driving past.
Gave me a wee ring.
You know what a terrible gossip she is.
It's no big deal.
It's just a bit of graffiti on Barry's wall.
Probably kids.
-Good morning, Mrs Dunlop.
-Mr Callaghan.
Eve, I'm sure you won't remember me from our schooldays.
You haven't changed a bit.
I remember you very well, Jed Callaghan.
What can we do for you?
Well, I'm sorry to say I'm here to report a crime.
My car's been stolen.
Well, we'll see if we can get it back for you.
You head on in.
Constable McCarthy'll take your statement.
He's the one that hasn't changed.
-Same old smooth charmer.
-I've no time for that man.
Is that cos he imports wine for a living?
Aye.
There's that.
And other things.
Like what?
You know me.
I'm not one to gossip.
Well, the car was there when I went to bed.
And I got up this morning and it had vanished.
Can you give me the registration, please?
HFZ 3281.
OK.
All right, bye, bye-bye.
So, Nicole's been taken into hospital.
-Sounds like she's in labour.
-She's what?
Um... Nicole's been in an accident but she's fine, the baby's fine.
But it might have brought on her labour.
-What kind of accident?
-It was a head-on collision.
The other car's registration is... HFZ 3281.
[Callum] That's Jed Callaghan's stolen car.
-Do we know who was driving it?
-No, not yet.
-They fled the scene.
-I'd better let Jed know that his car's been involved in an accident.
I can do that.
You get yourself on up to the hospital.
Go.
♪♪ -Callum!
-[Callum] Hi.
Still no baby, as you can see.
Is everything OK?
The midwife says there's nothing to worry about, that baby's just decided to pop out a bit early.
Thank goodness for that.
I'll give you guys some space.
Thanks.
I'm also here in an official capacity.
So, I need to take your statement.
Well, I can tell you now that the whole thing's a blur.
[Callum sighs] I can't believe... our baby... is on his way.
Yes.
He is.
[sighs] Which is more than I can say for that husband of mine.
[sighs] Can you tell us where you keep your car key?
Yeah, it's in the kitchen drawer.
The fob's still there.
I presume they used some sort of device to unlock it.
Possibly.
Have you got a spare fob?
Yep.
It's with my son.
I don't suppose he could have driven the car away?
No way.
Rory's at work.
Night shift as a security guard.
Do you know when he'll be back?
Rory wouldn't take my car without speaking to me.
We'd appreciate a chance to speak to him.
Just to rule him out.
Yep.
Rory Callaghan didn't show up for work last night.
Yeah, I've tried his mobile a few times.
It's going straight to voicemail.
Is Rory the kind of lad to go out joyriding in his dad's car and run away from the scene of an accident?
Maybe.
He's always had a bit of a mouth on him.
-Ah, like his dad.
Smoothie Jed.
-[chuckles] It's gonna be a big responsibility.
-What is?
-Being this baby's grandfather.
I mean, Nicole's parents are dead.
Clint's mum is in a care home and he doesn't speak to his dad.
That just leaves me.
What about your wife, Callum's mum?
She's in a mood with Callum cos he's taken me in.
[phone chimes] I mean, do I even look old enough to be a grandfather?
Yeah, yeah.
You do.
[quietly] What took you so long?
Well, thank goodness you're here, at least.
But I thought you wanted Clint here with you at the birth.
She does.
-Look who I found.
-[Nicole] Oh, Clint!
Hiya, love.
Oh, Clint!
Am I glad to see you.
I came as soon as I got Chloe's message.
-Thank you.
-No problem.
I am so sorry.
I know how much you were looking forward to the country music festival.
Ah, this is a million times more important.
Right, uh, I'll get off.
Uh, keep me up to speed.
-Yeah, will do.
-Is it OK if I go too?
Callum can give you a lift, can't you, Callum?
Hm-hmm.
Thank you for being my guardian angel.
Any time.
I just found this by the back door.
Passport belonging to Rory Callaghan.
You know him?
No.
Stick it behind the bar, sure.
Tell you what, I'll phone our Callum.
I'll ask him what we should do with it.
There's no need to bother the police, yeah?
♪♪ Aye, your stepmother's lost her marbles.
Up painting a wall at the crack of dawn.
She was doing what?
Well, someone graffitied Marlene Pettigrew's wall.
-Mum helped her get rid of it.
-And why would Eve do that?
Well, the graffiti was homophobic.
-What?
-Yeah, well, Marlene's gay.
I think Mum was trying to clear it off before I'd see it.
Marlene is also a police officer.
It might have something to do with that.
Right.
If you say so.
Are people in this town homophobic?
-Not that I'm aware of.
-[Ross] Well, that's good.
Because Andrew's coming to visit.
OMG, Lois!
We're gonna meet the boyfriend!
-What can we do for you, lads?
-It's my dad we need to see.
Here he is!
The father-to-be.
Any news?
Uh, not yet.
Two of you.
What's the big deal?
Well, the car that hit Nicole belongs to Rory Callaghan's dad.
Rory's been AWOL ever since the accident.
Was Rory in here last night?
Not that I saw.
Nor me.
I don't think he could have dropped it last night.
Why not?
Because I swept the area at the back door first thing and there was no sign of that passport then.
Right, so it must have been dropped this morning.
Is that him?
Police, stop!
Rory Callaghan!
Stop!
Stop!
[they grunt] Get your hands off me!
[yells] Give me the bag!
Some bruising you've got there, Rory.
Wouldn't happen to be from a car crash, would it?
What the hell would you know?
You a doctor?
Rory Callaghan, I'm arresting you for aggravated taking and driving away and leaving the scene of an accident.
You don't have to say anything, but I must caution you if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on, it may harm your defence.
If you do say anything it may be given in evidence.
Clothes and toiletries.
And your passport?
You going anywhere nice?
Let's go.
[Callum] Right, Rory.
We've just been talking to Dr McKenzie.
Having examined you, he reckons that, in addition to the extensive bruising, he suspects that you've suffered two cracked ribs.
So, did that happen during the vehicle collision this morning?
Not this again.
I wasn't in a vehicle collision as you call it.
I fell over.
Yesterday, at work.
-Yesterday?
-[Rory] Yes.
I went to A&E.
Check their records if you don't believe me.
Oh, don't you worry.
We will.
Your father reported his car stolen this morning.
Whoever took it collided with a heavily pregnant woman and then fled the scene.
Whoever stole my dad's car, it wasn't me.
[door opens] So, what did Rory have to say?
Who?
Mr Charm and Personality?
Not a lot.
He claims he always carries his passport with him.
Guess what.
I don't believe him.
Yeah, I'll do some digging here.
See if he's booked onto a flight.
Did you ask Rory why he was hiding out in the Commodore?
Why he picked it, of all places?
He claims he fancied a morning latte.
Found the back door open.
Needless to say, we're pretty sure that's a lie too.
[Ryan] Hmm.
Grand day, isn't it?
A great wee spot.
Aye.
You could do a lot worse than Port Devine.
Lived here all your life, have you?
I can't imagine living anywhere else.
-Custard cream?
-Ah... Go on.
Let yourself go.
I am a sucker for a custard cream.
[laughs] Thank you.
Did you hear Nicole's in hospital?
I'm gonna be a grandfather.
Oh, congratulations.
If, uh, that's not premature.
The word is that all is fine.
You're a grandmother yourself, aren't you?
Although... you don't look old enough.
Oh.
Just the one grandson.
I'm sure you have him spoilt rotten.
Oh, aye.
He deserves it.
He's a good lad.
-They just grow up so fast.
-[chuckles] Tell me about it.
One minute, Callum was in short trousers, the next minute, he's having one of his own.
Your wife must be delighted.
You are still married, aren't you?
In theory, dear lady.
In theory.
What about you?
I refuse to believe that you're single.
Oh, divorced this many a year.
And no one's swept you off your feet?
[laughs] [Ryan] Seamie.
Hiya, son.
Can I ask you a wee question?
Oh, well, uh, I'd better get going.
Thanks for the biscuit.
[chuckles] Shoot.
How do you think Rory Callaghan got into the Commodore this morning?
Now that is a mystery.
I'd swear on the grave of Yeats himself -that those doors were locked.
-Right.
So, either he had a key -or someone let him in.
-I suppose.
Seamie!
How long is this break?
What, like a month?
I need a wee word.
OK.
I'll leave you two lovebirds to it.
Were you in that car that hit Nicole?
I know full well you're not the kind of girl who goes on early morning walks.
Were you in that car with Rory Callaghan this morning?
Yes, I was in the car.
But I was on my own.
OK.
In that case... Brandi McClure, I'm arresting you on suspicion of taking and driving away a car and leaving the scene of an accident.
[Marlene] Brandi, did you tell Constable Power that you were driving the vehicle, registration number HFZ 3281, that was involved in a collision this morning?
Yeah, I did.
Who was in the car with you, Brandi?
Nobody.
I was on my own.
Then why did you leave the scene of the accident?
I just panicked.
Were you aware that you'd hit Nicole?
Yeah.
I felt terrible.
That's why I went back just to see if she was OK.
Oh.
Well, that was big of you.
Look... Last night, when we closed the pub, I went to Rory Callaghan's house.
We just watched a movie and fell asleep.
But when I woke up, I didn't fancy getting a taxi so I just borrowed his da's car.
The last thing I wanted to do was to get in a crash with anyone, least of all Nicole.
Can we just get this over with?
Charge me or whatever.
What I do believe is Brandi was in that car when it hit Nicole.
[Eve] But she wasn't driving?
Then why is she covering for Rory Callaghan?
Ryan, did your girlfriend ever introduce you to him?
Mention him?
I had no idea they even knew each other.
-[door opens] -Jed Callaghan is here.
[sighs] He wants to know what's going on with his son.
Here's a little something to welcome you back to Port Devine.
That is very generous of you.
[chuckles] My mother's running a charity raffle.
I'll donate it to that.
We have to be careful about accepting gifts.
Of course.
Sorry.
So, how is Rory?
Did he really take my car?
We don't know that yet, not for sure.
What we do know is that he made a break for it when my officers tried to talk to him.
And why would he do that if he's innocent?
Exactly.
Tell me, Mr Callaghan... -Please.
Jed.
-[chuckles lightly] Was Rory planning on going away anywhere?
Rory, go away?
What, from Port Devine, you mean?
-Hmm.
-[laughs] I mean, apart from when he slopes off to work.
I mean, that's all I can do to get him to leave the house.
Rory Callaghan was booked on the ten o'clock flight to Manchester this morning.
His father clearly knew nothing about that.
Well, that's interesting because the flight was paid for with Jed's credit card.
So, Rory was definitely planning on doing a runner.
I finally got through to the hospital.
Rory was telling the truth.
He went to A&E yesterday afternoon and they diagnosed him with two cracked ribs.
He was also badly bruised.
So, the day before the car crash?
[Clint] Won't they make you wipe that off?
Excuse me.
This stuff is non-toxic, non-flammable and it's perfectly safe for bonding with baby skin to skin.
I've done my research.
-Of course you have.
-And besides... I don't want to give birth looking like a bag of spanners.
[sighs] How did Callum seem to you?
Well, he seemed all right.
Why?
Now that it's so close to this wee one being born, I just... maybe it's the hormones, but... I just don't know how any of this is going to work.
Look, it really doesn't matter what Callum does or doesn't do.
Why?
Because you'll always have me.
Why don't you like Jed Callaghan?
Am I allowed to take my coat off?
Is it something to do with his late wife?
Maeve.
What do you know about her?
Well, I used to see the pair of them -when I came to visit you.
-Hmm.
I always thought there was something odd about that relationship.
No, Maeve was a decent, God-fearing woman until the cancer took her.
May she rest in peace.
Jed, on the other hand, I never liked.
Oh, he may be all fine wines and flash cars now, but, just like your da, he was never out of the Commodore.
I strongly suspected Jed used to head home at closing time and knock seven bells out of poor Maeve.
And you didn't report this because...?
She flat-out denied it.
Thank you.
That is really helpful.
I don't suppose you're going to tell me why.
-No, I'm not.
-Fine.
Then you can answer me another question.
That graffiti you and Marlene were painting over, was it homophobic?
-No, it wasn't.
-Well, Ross thinks it was.
He thinks you were helping her get rid of it in case he saw it.
It wasn't homophobic!
I'll set him straight.
But what did it say?
Somebody had spray painted the word "killers" on Barry's wall.
"Killers?"
Yep.
Goodness knows why.
It was probably kids or something.
Poor Marlene.
Good for you for helping her paint it over.
Good for you for looking out for our Ross.
Hmm, don't go praising me.
I'm not that woke.
Ross told me that Andrew fella's coming to stay.
-He never mentioned that to me.
-What do you feel about it?
That it's all moving a bit too quickly.
Hmm!
Hello, Rory.
I'm here to tell you that we are releasing you on bail, pending further enquiries.
What?
Sorry?
Someone else has confessed to driving your dad's car, leaving the scene of the accident.
Are you not going to ask us who confessed?
Or is that because you know that already?
Uh, no.
Of course not.
Your father's waiting for you.
Rory... do you have anything you'd like to tell us?
About your father?
About how he treats you?
No.
-Need a hand?
-Oh, that would be nice.
I spoke to your ma.
That graffiti was definitely not homophobic.
-Really?
-Definitely not.
That's good.
You know if anybody in this town ever does give you a hard time... -Yeah?
-They'll have me to deal with!
Thanks, Gran.
Love you too.
-You OK?
-Yeah.
[sniffles] Onions.
So, do you really think that Jed is physically abusing Rory?
I'm almost sure of it.
If I'm right, we've just sent Rory into the lions' den.
When his dad finds out about the credit card, he's gonna lose it.
So, what do we do?
I reckon that Brandi girl knows far more than she's letting on.
Rory's gone home with his dad?
That a problem, is it?
Well, what does Mr Callaghan know?
About what?
Does he know I took his car?
Nobody believes that.
Jed's not stupid.
It won't take him long to get the truth out of Rory.
Jed's gonna kill him.
What happened, Brandi?
Because we can't help Rory unless you tell us.
When I went to the hospital with Nicole, I ran into Rory.
How do you know each other?
We used to go out when I worked at the Sheep and Lamb.
So, what happened at the hospital?
Rory was in bad shape.
Cracked ribs, and he tried to give me some story -about how he fell at work.
-And you didn't believe him?
Look, I've known for ages that Rory's dad beats him up.
But Rory's always denied it.
So, what did you do?
When I saw what state he was in in the hospital, I just, I... I couldn't let go.
So, after work last night... I just took a taxi to his place.
And then when I got there, I saw his dad beating him up.
I saw it through the window.
When his dad went to bed, I tried to get Rory to call 999, but he wouldn't.
So, I just convinced him to book a flight, just take his dad's car to the airport.
So, Rory was driving, not you?
Yeah.
Are you willing to make a formal statement telling us what you saw?
That's great, Brandi.
But I still don't think we have what we need.
What we need is concrete evidence.
Do you mean proof, about what his dad's been doing to him?
Hm-hmm.
I can help you.
I've got that.
[indistinct shouting on video] [shouting continues] Is that what you needed?
Yeah.
Am I still in trouble?
Stealing a car and leaving the scene of an accident are serious offences.
As is perverting the course of justice.
But we'll do everything we can to explain the circumstances to the powers that be.
[Jed shouts indistinctly] [Rory] Take your hands off me!
That doesn't sound good.
Ryan, Callum.
Cover the front door.
Yous two, with me.
-[Jed] Rory!
-[Rory yells] [shouting continues] Police!
Stop now!
I'm... I'm sorry you witnessed that.
I checked my bank statement... and I saw that Rory had used my credit card.
And when I confronted him about it... he told me he took my car.
I... I'm ashamed to say I completely lost my temper.
It's never happened before.
Isn't that right, Rory?
Yeah.
You're wasting your time, Mr Callaghan.
Sorry?
We have video evidence that proves this is not a one-off.
Detective Constable, could you do the honours?
Jed Callaghan, I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault and domestic violence.
You do not have to say anything, but I must caution you if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court, it may harm your defence.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Why didn't you tell someone?
Since Mum died, it's just been the two of us.
He's my dad.
He always says sorry.
[Ryan] I'm sorry I had to arrest you.
No, it's all right.
I'm sorry.
I didn't give you much choice.
What you did today, you may not have gone about it the right way but we know you meant well.
And, hey, look, at least Rory's safe.
Thanks to you.
Shall we?
See you later.
Yeah.
I'll come down to the pub.
[door closes] So, um.. you must have been so worried when she confessed.
Too right.
You know, I actually thought that I was gonna have to return this.
No!
So, Jed Callaghan is behind bars.
Not a moment too soon in my opinion.
Hmm.
Mum, has Granny mentioned about Andrew coming to visit?
She did.
Don't you think it's a bit soon?
I thought you said the pair of you were taking things slowly.
What?
She thinks you want him to stay the night.
No, he's... he's only coming to visit for the day, like.
Andrew's welcome here how ever long he wants to stay.
Isn't that right?
Of course, of course.
Just let us all know when.
Well... Uh, Lois Dunlop.
I don't want to see you lifting another finger.
Me and the kids will wash up.
Come on.
Where did you get this man?
Can you get me one like him?
[chuckles] You in the market for a man, Lois?
Of course not!
Cheeky wee article.
You putting us up.
And putting up with us.
It's appreciated.
Well, you can show your gratitude -by being honest with me.
-About what?
That graffiti.
"Killers?"
Doesn't sound like kids to me.
More targeted, nasty.
Marlene's been a police officer for a long time, Mother.
She can handle it.
Not "killer" mind you.
"Killers."
More than one.
And there's you helping Marlene to scrub it off.
We think it has something to do with Shelley.
Shelley Moffatt, that disappeared years ago?
-Yeah.
-Why would you think that?
Because someone keeps sending me and Marlene stuff.
What kind of stuff?
A bracelet I made for Shelley, uh, flowers from Shelley on the day of Barry's funeral.
And other things.
Surely that poor girl's long dead?
That's what Marlene thinks.
[sighs] So, this graffiti artist has accused you and Marlene of having killed her?
That's what it's looking like.
Ah, to be honest with you, I always thought Shelley took her own life.
-Why?
-[Lois] The shame.
Having a baby that young and out of wedlock.
What?
Shelley had a baby, a few weeks before she went missing.
Of course her mother let on that she'd spent the summer with her cousins in Strabane, but I wasn't fooled.
-I knew it.
I asked her.
-[Lois] What did she say?
Well, she denied it, of course.
I asked her too.
Oh, you know me, I'm not one to beat about the bush.
She swore blind she wasn't, but I could tell she was lying.
No, that poor girl was pregnant.
-Who was pregnant?
-Uh, nobody you'd know.
Ah.
Girls' talk.
-Hm-hmm.
-I'll make myself scarce.
You haven't told your husband about this?
No.
Do you not think you should tell him?
-Why?
-He's a detective!
And I'm an inspector.
I can handle this.
-I'll see you later.
-Where are you going?
-The Commodore.
-Oh, I'm not invited?
You said it was a den of iniquity.
Well then, I shall be raising the tone.
Come on.
Don't you two look a picture?
Father and son.
[he chuckles] [Callum clears his throat] There you are.
[laughs] You just missed it.
Your son was born half an hour ago.
My son... Come and meet him.
Hun, let Callum have a hold.
I'm not sure I know what to do here.
I was an only child.
Oh, you'll soon learn.
[Callum gasps] Oh, he's so tiny.
-[phone chimes] -Hello, you.
That's, uh, Marlene asking what's happening.
Oh, give her a call and tell her the good news.
Yeah.
[line rings] OK.
I'll, uh, I'll go outside.
[baby cries] [bell rings] I'm a granddad!
Drinks on the house!
Uh, I'm not sure what Nicole will think about that.
It's Nicole's baby we're celebrating.
So, congratulations are in order?
They are indeed, Mrs Dunlop.
-Lois.
Please.
-Congratulations.
Well, I'll, um, have an orange squash, please.
-Inspector?
-Glass of white wine, please.
I need a word with Marlene.
Brandi, I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It was my idea to steal your da's car.
Did they let you talk to him?
He refused to see me.
Nah, I'll try again tomorrow.
Oh, he doesn't deserve you.
What about your policeman boyfriend?
He wouldn't be too impressed with you ending up with a criminal record.
Ryan's cool.
Like, that's why we get on so well.
[Lois laughs] Do you want a drink, seeing as we're on the house?
Yeah.
-Shelley was pregnant?
-Yeah, according to my mother.
Do you remember she disappeared for the whole of that summer?
Aye, to Strabane to stay with her cousins.
She was having a baby.
You're a terrible man, Mr McCarthy.
Seamie, please.
Hmm.
Very well.
Seamie.
[clears her throat] -So... tell me this.
-And tell you no more?
Exactly.
How long ago did you and Mrs McCarthy separate?
-We haven't.
-Sorry, what?
[Seamie] We haven't been separated.
All right, she's a wee bit annoyed with me, I'll give you that.
That's why I'm holed up down here.
But you've been in Port Devine for about six months.
When I say a wee bit annoyed, she's actually raging.
But I still love the bones of her.
Excuse me.
Oh, I get it.
You've got a notion for Seamie there.
That's why you wanted to come here tonight.
That tedious twit?
Are you insane?
[laughs] Oh, Rory.
Meet Ryan.
He's my boyfriend.
-Hi.
-You've got a diamond here, pal.
Don't I know it, mate?
I'll, uh, catch you later.
So, how did you get to know him, then?
Who, Rory?
We used to see each other.
Oh.
How come I didn't know about that?
[laughs awkwardly] Because it's not that important.
So, Shelley had a baby.
What does that change?
It opens up the possibility that if Shelley did have a kid... [Marlene] No, hold on.
Do you think Shelley's kid has been targeting us?
Who else could harbour that kind of a grudge?
[Ryan] Do you remember I was telling you about Niamh?
My ex?
About how I was always on her case.
I... [sighs] I have tried so hard not to be like that with you.
Yeah, and you being chilled out, is a huge part of why this works.
I don't want to be controlling here, Brandi, I... I really don't.
But I just, I can't, I can't go on like this.
I need to know what you're thinking.
I need to know what I mean to you.
D-Don't pressure me.
I don't know who you are.
You never talk to me about your family, about where you're from.
[sighs] Your past.
Uh... Do you want to know who I am?
Yeah.
I'm your ex-girlfriend.
This is over.
