The Gone \u2013 BBC Four\u2019s latest crime drama series \u2013 is a collaboration between the Irish RTE and New Zealand broadcaster TVNZ.<\/p>\n
The plot revolves around the disappearance of an Irish couple, Ronan Garvey (Simon Mead) and Sinead Martin (Rachel Morgan), from a remote town in New Zealand.<\/p>\n
But how did everything wrap up in the end?<\/p>\n
Read on to have the ending of The Gone explained, but be warned for there are spoilers ahead<\/strong>.<\/p> To investigate the case, Dublin detective Theo Richer (Richard Flood), who is fighting his own personal demons, flies out to New Zealand after a call from Sinead\u2019s worried mum, Hannah (Michelle Fairley), despite the fact he has resigned from his job at the Garda after two decades of service.<\/p>\n Hannah is a judge in Ireland who has recently imprisoned the head of an Irish drug operation run by the Fallon Family. The Fallons are notorious for their violent retaliation, and Hannah herself had recently survived a revenge attack from the family.<\/p>\n However, we later discover that Ronan himself was a drug dealer, dealing steroids and had a violent temper. Could he have been the intended target?<\/p>\n Theo joins the newly promoted M\u0101ori cop Diana Huia (Acushla-Tara Kupe). The couple happened to have disappeared from Diana\u2019s home town, and she is reluctant to return there after years away because of the memories it holds for her; it\u2019s obvious she is carrying a lot of sadness around.<\/p>\n Then, to add fuel to the fire, Irish investigative journalist Aileen Ryan (Carolyn Bracken), who has been following the Fallon family for years, starts digging around, putting herself in grave danger, as a Fallon has also flown over to New Zealand.<\/p>\n Sinead and Ronan\u2019s disappearance has the same hallmarks as a mountain murder in the town that was committed seventeen years earlier, so could the murderer have returned? Or has a copycat killer struck?<\/p>\n Sinead worked at a new giant recycling and fertilising plant in the town, striving to acquire sacred M\u0101ori land for its development. However, the M\u0101ori community responded with protests led by Diana\u2019s estranged Auntie and Uncle Wiki (Vanessa Rare) and Buster Huia (Wayne Hapi).<\/p>\n In the first episode, we meet Mayor Ken Armstrong (Matt Whelan) and his sister Valerie, who are town natives and know the mountain landscape like the back of their hands. They lead the search for the missing couple. While Sinead is found alive, Ronan has been stabbed to death.<\/p>\n In episode 6, Sinead visits Valerie, holding her clay pigeon shooting rifle, and asks to go inside the house. During a chat between the two women, Sinead accuses Valerie of murdering Ronan. In the meantime, the police have discovered video evidence of her brother, Mayor Ken Armstrong, driving the car that was used in the murder.<\/p>\n In pursuit of Mayor Ken, who is opening the town\u2019s new cycle trail, the police arrive, and Mayor Ken runs for cover at Valerie\u2019s house only for the police detectives, Julia and Theo, to turn up, and a shoot-out begins.<\/p>\n Mayor Ken admits to Ronan\u2019s murder,<\/strong> and Valerie was the one who cleaned up the evidence and made it look like the copycat killing from years earlier.<\/p>\n He had visited Ronan\u2019s home to give him a warning because Ronan was blackmailing him. Ronan grabbed a knife to defend himself and the pair wrestled on the veranda before Ken stabbed him to death.<\/p>\n Ken shoots Valerie, then turns the gun on Julia and Theo and then on himself, because he doesn\u2019t want to go to jail, but his bullet misses him when Sinead hits him from behind with a spade, so he survives to face justice and he is arrested. Valerie survives the shooting and is taken to hospital.<\/p>\n Theo and Julia have faced their own demons after the case is solved. They share a drink in a bar and let each other know they\u2019re okay.<\/p>\n Alieen visits the mountain shack and stumbles across bones, only to turn around and look puzzled when she recognises a mysterious character behind her \u2013 but who is it?<\/p>\n The scene then flips to Theo calling her from the airport to board their flight back to Ireland; with the final scene showing her mobile phone ringing with blood on it, hinting that she has been murdered \u2013 but who by?<\/p>\n We\u2019ll have to wait until season 2 for some answers!<\/p>\n The Gone is available to watch on iPlayer. <\/strong>Check out more of our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 10 issues for only \u00a310 \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>.
