Episode 6: Oh Brother Where Art Thou
Nothing is going to stop Jolene in her search for Randy, not even the fact that Doc’s shotgun is missing. Seamus is pissed off that Donie won’t help him find Doughal McShane. Donie’s the one who needs help as his life unravels with alarming speed. Seamus can’t wait for a moment longer for Siofra and takes off for The Woods anyway. In the bunker, Randy’s upset when the hostages aren’t impressed with his art gallery. He reaches for something: Doc’s gun.
Seamus bounces into the Eco camp he cannot believe the sight before him and it’s not Velvet Mullen chained to the tree neighing like a horse. Seamus is far more shocked by witnessing a simple kiss. Nikki and Síofra in a passionate clinch sends Seamus running from The Woods and desperately seeking Jolene.
Jolene extracts the truth from Drubber: he sold Ketamine to Randy the night he disappeared. And it’s these horse tranquilizers that Randy is feeding to his hostages as Fr, Brazil’s anti drugs stance is put to the test, by the cock of a gun…..
Donie is in deep shit now Internal Affairs are on his case. It seems Seamus is the last person to realize Donie has lost the plot. Donie admits he brought Siofra back on purpose. Jolene was right; Seamus is furious and tells Donie he’s leaving for good.
Marriage is the last thing on Jolene’s mind when Seamus tells her Randy was fighting with Velvet the night he disappeared. Jolene freaks: Velvet is missing too. Seamus seizes his chance to save the day…he’s seen Velvet in the woods!
There is method to Randy’s madness as he sets his spaced-out hostages free. He’s now ready to go after his real enemy. Meanwhile back at the Hacienda Annie is battling with her enemy: booze. It seems even the drink won’t work anymore. Annie spits it out.
Donie has lost Seamus and everything else, including his self respect. He has nothing to fight for and even the memory of his parents means nothing to him now.
Velvet is gone and leaving Seamus standing in The Woods, Jolene heads for home. As soon as Annie stops pouring drink down her neck, the truth begins to surface. To Doc’s horror she spills the beans that Doc isn’t Randy’s father. Worse: she doesn’t know who is. But Randy does… thanks to Velvet Mullen
Velvet, long rumoured to be the butcher of Shergar, seems to have finally proved it by turning into his victim. As Randy raises the gun to his head Velvet re-lives the torture he put his victim through.
Annie Little finally finds her voice when she hears shots coming from The Woods. It may explain her lack lustre career but the voice of his mother floating on the night air is enough to make Randy Little leave down his gun.
The Little’s are re-united: battered, torn, shaky, messy, chaotic but with the secrets that
have imprisoned them out in the open. Jolene lost the battle but she sure won the war. Seamus, burning with rejection, finally gets an answer to the question Belltown has been asking for years: where did the Little’s get their money?
