00:00Eamon McCarty
00:05Wow.
00:17Wow.
00:19My uncle Eamon left it to me and I've kept it just the way he had it.
00:24Some of the guests seem to really like the Eamon McCarty aesthetic.
00:28Wait.
00:31Your uncle is Eamon McCarty?
00:33You're a fan.
00:35Who isn't? Study any of the great Celts.
00:38He tops every composer's list.
00:41His song, Will You Be There?
00:45It's helped me through a lot of hard times.
00:48Me too.
00:49When the school set up the house I had no idea it was going to be the house of a legend.
00:54Let alone two.
00:58Orla's poems.
00:59Lyrics.
01:00Equally.
01:01Unmatched.
01:02Each other's moves, I heard.
01:05Yeah, well such a tragic accident.
01:07Accident?
01:08Don't believe the press, alright?
01:09Eamon would never push the love of his life off any cliff.
01:12And when the wind tragically swept her away, a part of him went with her.
01:15Couldn't bear to live without her.
01:16But I'd read-
01:17And they took me in when my mother passed.
01:20Like second parents.
01:21So I chose to believe the best.
01:24I get it.
01:26You know some guests swear they've heard Eamon's piano playing at night.
01:35Not to scare you.
01:36It doesn't.
01:37Well you don't believe in ghosts?
01:39Well I believe some people do.
01:42To each their own right?
01:44Fair enough.
01:45I like to think of them as Heathcliff and Catrin out there wandering over the moors.
01:50Emily Bronte.
01:52Alright.
01:53So you're romantic then?
01:55Was.
01:56Romantically impaired at the moment.
01:59Sorry to hear.
02:03So, my full time job is property maintenance.
02:07So if you need anything, just ring.
02:09And I have an extra key if you get locked out.
02:12Any questions?
02:13Wasn't there supposed to be a car?
02:15The school said transportation provided.
02:17Orla's own.
02:18Got her into town every day less than 20 minutes.
02:20It's not exactly a car.
02:21I'm thinking what you're saving on gas.
02:22Hmm?
02:23No.
02:24Uncle Eamon's car was recently stolen.
02:25So until insurance comes true.
02:26Oh, so I should keep my things locked up then?
02:27Better safe than sorry.
02:28Alright.
02:29I haven't really ridden a bike in a while.
02:30But I hear it's a lot like riding a bike.
02:32Oh, a bike.
02:33A bike.
02:34Oh, a bike.
02:35A bike.
02:36A bike.
02:37A bike.
02:38A bike.
02:39A bike.
02:40A bike.
02:41A bike.
02:42A bike.
02:43A bike.
02:44A bike.
02:45A bike.
02:46A bike.
02:47A bike.
02:48Oh, a bell.
02:49Ha.
02:50Hmm.
03:16Ah, hmm.
03:46Get so many brown?
04:13Yes.
04:14That's exactly how you say it.
04:17I'm Inspector O'Reilly.
04:20Come in.
04:23You said someone was maybe in your house.
04:26Maybe.
04:29I was sleeping and woke up hearing these four notes.
04:35Came down, nothing here.
04:37Then the piano lid just slammed on its own and then there was someone out there.
04:42Unnerving for sure.
04:45I had a little look around outside and there's no trace of anyone.
04:48The ground's fairly soft but not a single footprint besides my own.
04:52Okay, but what about the piano?
04:59Hammers get stuck sometimes.
05:00Shake loose when the humidity changes.
05:02Okay, well maybe you're right.
05:05I just keep hearing all about Eamon and Orla and the whole accident thing.
05:09It must have got stuck in my head.
05:11Accident?
05:12If you're uncomfortable I can recommend a hotel or a B&B.
05:15No, I'll stay.
05:18Maybe I just need some air.
05:22I'll join you.
05:24Give her gander around the property.
05:26Gander?
05:27Not many people are really using that anymore.
05:30I'm bringing it back.
05:33This is just beautiful.
05:36I know.
05:37It really is.
05:39So what do you think happened between Eamon and Orla?
05:43It's not really my place to say.
05:45I mean, just the basics.
05:47It just feels like I haven't gotten the whole story.
05:49Well, it was before I took a post here.
05:52But around 9pm Eamon finishes his recital.
05:56A garda, what we call a cop over here, pulls him over around 10pm.
06:01Next day a boat found deceased.
06:04You think he pushed Orla over these cliffs and then poisoned himself?
06:12That's what the official report says.
06:14Fairly dark subject for such a stunning view.
06:19That it is.
06:23I might not have been talking about the sunrise.
06:26Huh?
06:28Oh.
06:31I see what you did there.
06:33Sorry, I'm a bit out of practice.
06:37Well, thank you, Inspector.
06:40For the compliment.
06:42Thank you for coming here and making me feel better.
06:45Right.
06:46Haha.
06:47I really should go get ready for class.
06:50Okay.
06:52Oh, yeah.
07:01Nice one.
07:02Pretty smooth.
07:04Pretty smooth.
07:17Wow.
07:20Our donors are especially excited to have you.
07:23Uh, Liam Byrne, one of our main donors, is a choir alumni who lost to Bishopstown every
07:29year.
07:30He was hoping to live vicariously through his son, Rian's first win.
07:33I see.
07:34No pressure, though.
07:35None.
07:36Now, ladies and gentlemen of the choir, positions please.
07:46It is my extreme pleasure to introduce to you Miss Brown.
07:52Well, I leave you to it.
07:57So, I could use a whole game day pep talk, but like my dad always said, sometimes it's
08:06better to just rip the bandaid right off.
08:09I'm gonna play a note for you, and I want you to sing it back to me.
08:16I want you to sing it back to me, and I want you to sing it back to me, and I want you
08:36to sing it back to me.
08:37Now you.
08:38It's a start.
08:39I just want to say, my dad really wants me to solo for the art county, and I would do
08:42anything not to.
08:43Rian Byrne, I'm assuming?
08:44Oh, no.
08:45I want you to sing it back to you.
08:47We'll work on him together, Rian.
08:52Hi.
08:53Guessing you're not a student?
08:55No.
08:56I'm wondering if you could keep the doors closed while in session.
09:01We're doing exponents across the hall.
09:03Sorry.
09:04Of course.
09:06Welcome, by the way.
09:10Thank you, by the way.
09:13Griff.
09:14Across the hall, if you ever need anything, even when you don't.
09:18Gethsemane.
09:19Very much appreciated.
09:20Okay.
09:21Pardon me.
09:23Now, where were we?
09:28Can I help you?
09:42I'm Seamus.
09:43I do local deliveries.
09:45Billy asked me to drop you around the basics.
09:47Geths?
09:48Gethsemane.
09:49Gethsemane.
09:50Gethsemane.
09:51Gethsemane.
09:52Perfect.
09:55The basics?
09:56In these parts, yeah.
10:02So that Reardon's is premium, so just take care of it.
10:05The bottle's a few months in.
10:06I'm just going to put these in the kitchen.
10:08I'm not much of a drinker, but...
10:10Billy was saying that Eamon and Orly used to drink it when they rode together and...
10:14When he...
10:15Well, you know that story.
10:17Well, I heard the official one, but I definitely prefer the new take.
10:23Do you know, that's the last thing she ever wrote him.
10:27What is your take of it all?
10:29Oh, I'm not into getting into other people's business, you know.
10:32Just let sleeping dogs lie.
10:35I will see you around.
10:37Thank you for the groceries.
10:39You're welcome.
10:42Wow.
10:43That is...
10:44That's nice.
10:45It's my dad's Reardon doll.
10:47It's premium.
10:48A few months rent as well.
10:50Oh, I bet.
10:51Anyway, it was lovely to meet you.
10:53Gethsemane.
10:55Gethsemane.
10:56Okay.
11:09Dead.
11:10That I am.
11:11Good ear.
11:12Aaaaaaah!
11:13What?
11:14What are you doing here?
11:15You can hear and see me.
11:16Whatever you want.
11:17Just take it.
11:18Take it?
11:19It's already mine.
11:20What?
11:21What?
11:22What?
11:23What is going on?
11:24I'm still figuring out the ghost rules myself, but you're probably scared too.
11:25Look, I didn't murder Orla.
11:26You're totally safe.
11:27Everything's fine.
11:28Let's start again.
11:29I'm Eamon, and you're...
11:30Leaving.
11:31Bryce.
11:32We smashed that.
11:33Jet lags.
11:34What?
11:35I'm Eamon, and you're...
11:36Leaving.
11:37Bryce.
11:38We smashed that.
11:39Jet lags.
11:40Oh, no.
11:41Oh, no.
11:42No.
11:43No.
11:44No.
11:45No.
11:46No.
11:47No.
11:48No.
11:49No.
11:50No.
11:51No.
11:52No.
11:53No.
11:54No.
11:55No.
11:56No.
11:57No.
11:58What?
11:59Jet lag loops to drink.
12:00Subconscious projection.
12:01You're fine, but you are talking to yourself.
12:20What's the crack?
12:22Pardon me?
12:23What can I get for you?
12:25Whatever your house right is?
12:27A pint coming up?
12:29Oh, no, no, no. I don't need a pint. A glass of wine.
12:35Just messing with you, love.
12:40You're, uh, the teacher staying up at Eamon's own place.
12:43Small town big gossip?
12:45That's. And I see things.
12:48See things?
12:50Tarot cards, TVs. The women in my family have always had a talent. Special sight.
12:56Are you sure you're all good?
12:58Does it look like you've seen a ghost?
13:01Just tired.
13:03A little stressed.
13:05Siobhan reads things other than tea leaves, too.
13:09What was the headline in yesterday's paper, Siobhan?
13:12New teacher promises gold for St. Brendan's.
13:15Hey, I also predicted the rovers wins.
13:21Oh, and what's the crack?
13:23Oh, it's our what's up.
13:25Response, divilabit, means not much.
13:29Loaded.
13:32I'm Dr. Elizabeth.
13:33Mary. Local physician.
13:35Get Simony Brown.
13:37My practice is just across the street, if you ever need a check-up.
13:40Thank you. I just might.
13:43Hello? Ghost guy? Some conscious rejection of my own inner turmoil?
14:00Woah! woah. woah. woah. that's a reertin's reserve.
14:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a Riordan's Reserve.
14:19You don't put it on ice. You don't even drink it.
14:22You just look at it in awe, then put it away.
14:29Please, listen to me. Listen to me. I'm a nice ghost. I'm actually harmless.
14:33Papers say different.
14:35They don't know the full story.
14:36What do you want from me?
14:38To solve my order as murder.
14:42Yeah. And maybe mine.
14:46If you have time.
14:50Please.
14:55So you're saying Orla was killed by someone else.
14:58You were poisoned.
15:00And now you're hassling me so I can solve it for you?
15:05It does feel like a bigger ask when you say it out loud, alright?
15:11Love makes the world go round, but whiskey makes it go twice as fast.
15:15Especially when it's been poisoned.
15:17No, no, no, no, no. The one I drank.
15:19Yeah. Probably should have opened with that.
15:21Probably.
15:22Coroner thought the poison was Foxglove.
15:24Grows wild in Kiltyrnan.
15:26Very popular in gardens.
15:28Not dangerous in small amounts.
15:30How do you know that?
15:31Had front row seats to both autopsies.
15:33Okay, this doesn't make any sense.
15:34Very little here does.
15:36You could have picked anyone.
15:39Why me?
15:40That's right, I didn't pick anything.
15:42I've been plunking these same four notes in jest for the past five years.
15:48And you're the first one to get the reference.
15:54I'm the only one to play the North Vitamine.
15:57Actually, maybe you've unlocked something.
15:59We'll re-lock and go back into whatever you came from.
16:03Look, I'm a ghost, not a genie.
16:06And genies don't ask you for the wish, do they?
16:09Look, I feel like we've got off on the wrong foot.
16:13I'm aiming.
16:16Get so many.
16:20You see, this is why I need you.
16:22How's that?
16:23I can walk through walls, but I can't move anything apart from the piano lids and keys for whatever reason.
16:29I have to say, limbo is not the fun dance party game it's cracked up to be.
16:35You're stuck between worlds?
16:36Can't even leave town.
16:37I mean, I've tried, but every time I cross that bridge, it's like getting smacked into a window.
16:43So, if you want to leave and get out of limbo, I have to solve your murder?
16:50Yes, and Orla's.
16:52It's classic unfinished business.
16:55Please, can you help me?
16:58I'll humour myself.
17:01What evidence do you have?
17:03Well, Orla was uncharacteristically late from my opening night.
17:08When I came back home after, she wasn't here, so I found her the next day at the base of the cliffs.
17:13She had these marks on her neck like studded imprints.
17:16From what?
17:17I thought it could have been evidence of strangulation, but it was written off inconclusive.
17:23Well, then how did you get poisoned?
17:25I carried her back in.
17:26I called the police. I didn't know what to do.
17:31The note she left.
17:34Drink to our never-ending love song.
17:37So I did.
17:39Glass was poisoned.
17:40But no, not by her.
17:42Again. I mean, can you prove it?
17:46What? What?
17:47Please, please. I just want to see my girl again.
17:50And I think the only way I can is to figure this out.
17:54Can you help me?
17:57This is a lot to digest.
18:01Can I sleep on it?
18:02Sure.
18:06I'll be here.
18:16I think I've just been stressed with my job, my leaving my ex-fiance back home.
18:22Haven't been sleeping well.
18:24Headaches?
18:25Not exactly.
18:26What's not exactly?
18:27I've been having an annoying hallucination.
18:30Hurtful.
18:32Tell me about this hallucination.
18:37He claims he's a ghost.
18:40A ghost?
18:41It's all probably on my mind because I'm staying at Eamon McCarthy's house.
18:45I'm sure you've heard of him.
18:46I have.
18:48Actually, he and Earl were friends of mine.
18:50Sorry.
18:52This is probably not the...
18:53Oh, it's fine.
18:54It was hard seeing the world without him, but...
18:58I think of them every day.
19:01Any history of hallucinations?
19:04My dad had said he saw things, but we never believed him.
19:08That's probably in the back of my mind, too.
19:11Losing him was...
19:13has been hard.
19:15This ghost has to be a stress-related projection, right?
19:18Charming.
19:19Strong possibility.
19:21But let's get you settled in.
19:23I didn't...
19:24If you're still having trouble in a few days, I'll send you for an MRI.
19:28And in the meantime?
19:29I'll write your prescription for sleep aid.
19:32Give that ghost a rest.
19:34Sorry about your dad.
19:44I guess that's both of us right now.
19:47Two people not wanting to let go.
19:49If I see him when I get up there, what do you want me to say to him?
19:52I don't know.
19:55You do that?
19:56If you help me solve all this, I'll do anything you want.
19:59Look, he gave you a supernatural gift for a reason.
20:01All you have to do now is allow your mind to open it.
20:05In a way, you'd be honoring him.
20:07True, but I have no clue if you're even real.
20:10And if you were, there's no evidence that...
20:12No.
20:18Don't mind him.
20:20You're not lying about killing Orla.
20:25What if there was evidence?
20:29Would we have a deal?
20:31We'll still have to think about it.
20:34Okay, come on.
20:35Let's go. I'll prove it.
20:37You may be dead, but I still have to make a living.
20:40After class.
20:42We can check it out.
