TERESA: I'm gonna be
stuck here all night, Susan.
I think I got a lift.
LISA: That's me, age 10.
It was taken by the man
who murdered my mother.
We don't need you
coming down from Dublin,

Look, don't judge me by that lot.
I may actually be of some use to you.
DAVID: This poor girl
might still be alive,
so if there's anything
you're not telling me
I just got a call from Susan Reynolds.
They've got a suspect.
So what do you do, Liam?
Garda.
LISA: A suspect already?
That's confidential.
You're all talk. Bet you're
not even a guard.
Mark Bulger.
Can you tell us where
you were last Tuesday night
between the hours of
10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.?
It's not me.
Latest charge to land on me desk,
finding out which of our filthy officers
have been having it away with rent boys.

I don't know anything.
Can you tell me
what happened last night?

Teresa,
we're trying to find a missing girl,
and we think that Bulger
might have taken her, too,
so if there's anything that you
could tell us that could help
No.
Or did you see anything that might have
belonged to another girl?
Did he say anything that
could have led you to believe
that there could have been
another girl anywhere?
[CRYING] I can't do this.
I'm sorry. I just want to go home.

have info on Bulger.
Who's that?
My father.
There's something else.
Yes?
While I was digging,
I found out that in 1981,
Bulger was arrested with
one Billy Miller,
gang drug runner.
I found traces of heroin in his car.
Right.
Well, it turns out this
Miller guy was in the gang
that your father was associated with.
I couldn't find much on him
except for juvenile,
but to be honest, that just
means he wasn't caught.
He was never questioned in relation to
your mother's murder, not once.
He's a recovering heroin addict now.

How long did you keep her tied up for?
Can't be sure exactly.
She seemed to be enjoying it, anyway.
Most of the girls do.
Well, the dirty ones.
From what our witness described,
it's crystal clear
you tied her up against her will.
What's Teresa saying?

The man's a thug,
a stupid, violent thug.
Think how easy it was to catch him.
We don't know your mother's killer
was a criminal mastermind.
We know he was meticulous and careful,
two things Bulger isn't.
Maybe he got sloppy.
Maybe he wants to be caught.
For what it's worth, I agree with you.
It's going to be hard
to convince this lot.
And until then, until we know more,
let's not share so much
information with Amy's family.
Got an earful off the sister earlier
I could have done without.
And, Lisa,
I'm glad you're back
in contact with your father,
but be careful.
He might be just feeding you stuff
as a way to get close to you again.
You think I'm not aware of that?
No, it's just
men like him, their brains
are wired differently.
Sometimes it can be hard to stay ahead.
Nah, he's just weak and got in too deep.
The Miller thing was a dead end.
It's not.
There's something you should know.
The man your father killed
was shot from 100 yards away
with a semi-automatic rifle.
That's serious marksman stuff,
possibly former Provo.
So just be careful, okay?
Yeah?
The writing samples, they don't much.
Told you.
Bulger can barely write his own name.
One bit of good news, though.
What?
I spoke to the barman
at the Golden Hope.
Not only did Wade put away five pints,
he was trying to shift
stolen video players.
I paid him a visit, found
a few in the back of his car,
said I might turn a blind eye
if he gave us a witness statement.
Bingo.
Nice work.
So you can charge Bulger
for Teresa's abduction?
We sure can.
But the man who's got
Amy's still out there?
So we keep on the search,
but we've got another violent
arsehole off the streets.

keeping up the search.
Do you mind if I head off?

Who's that?
My father.
There's something else.
Yes?
While I was digging,
I found out that in 1981,
Bulger was arrested with
one Billy Miller,
gang drug runner.
I found traces of heroin in his car.
Right.
Well, it turns out this
Miller guy was in the gang
that your father was associated with.
I couldn't find much on him
except for juvenile,
but to be honest, that just
means he wasn't caught.
He was never questioned in relation to
your mother's murder, not once.
He's a recovering heroin addict now.
Maybe ask your dad about him.
Maybe.
