Episode 24
He was blackmailing him over it.
If we weren't together none of this would have happened, Darren would still be alive.
No comment.
They should just go the whole hog and put it in a brown manila envelope with the word "bill" printed across it in big letters.
Because that's all a wedding invitation really is, is a big bloody bill.
I hear you cupid.
I'm serious.
By the time you buy a present, get your suit cleaned and pay for your gargle, you won't see much change out of a hundred euro.
A hundred? What kind of presents are you buying? Not the vulgar celtic tiger type if that's what you mean.
And the worst part of a cousins' wedding is if I can't find a date, I've to bring mammy as me plus one.
What about Miriam in maintenance, I thought you liked her? Seeing someone, it's on Facebook.
Anyway I'd be just as happy to bring a friend.
Be simpler.
No, no way Paudge.
Don't be lousy, I'll owe you.
Can't you find someone else to bring? If I could I wouldn't be asking you.
Thanks very much.
Please? You're paying for a new outfit.
Deal.
Just a dress right? Just a dress? Outfit! That's what you said.
I need you, Daniella McCarthy requires a search.
I'll do that Sarge.
No, she asked for a woman.
Daniella, I'm just gonna do a quick search.
LOUD HACKING SOUND You don't have to spit I'm warning you, don't touch me.
Touch me and I'll skull you.
This won't take long.
SHOUTING You sure you don't need a warrant for this? I told you, we're here to help.
Then why aren't you off tearing the Hennessy gaff apart? Because we need to find something that supports your Katie's claim.
You saying she's a liar? Of course not.
But having evidence to back that up would really help.
What kind of evidence? For starters the money Darren took from David Hennessy.
Or anything he could have bought with it, new clothes, trainers, anything he couldn't normally afford? He did lend me fifty notes.
What? What? That's really unlike him.
Nothing upstairs, Darren's room is almost empty.
I took most of Darren's stuff to a charity shop.
After she cleared his room out.
You didn't come across anything? No, nothing.
Well if you do find anything, let us know.
It could really help the case.
If it's here, we'll find it, even if we've to take the house apart, brick by brick.
We'll be in touch.
Cheerio lads.
And you were the first one to go through his things.
So? And you found nothing? I already said.
So where did all the money go? How should I know? Funny how you show up here skint, and then suddenly you're all flush, paying for Darren's funeral.
Don't you dare Madam And that was the same day you moved all his stuff.
I told you, that was money I was owed.
You owed money? Last time I checked, debt collectors were chasing you.
You stole money from your dead son? I didn't steal it.
I gave you that money to pay for his funeral.
That was evidence.
Without it, it's Katie's word against the Hennessys.
How was I meant to know that Vin.
How could I? Sit down.
Where is she? Why is this taking so long? They do this on purpose, make you wait to unnerve you.
Don't let it.
And don't let them spook you.
When they sound like they have it all sewn up, it's just a bluff.
They know Darren was blackmailing David, that's no bluff.
Knowing it and proving it are two different things.
And proving it won't be easy, if all they have to go on is Katie Kiely's word.
And without the blackmail they have no motive.
So trust me, don't let them spook you.
Now sit down.
Thank you.
Well? Nothing.
You searched the whole house? No, we were only allowed to search his room.
And there was absolutely nothing at all he could have spent the money on? Great.
I could've really done with something firm to twist their arm with.
The privilege brothers not giving anything away? No, so far they're sticking to a firm "no comment".
Maybe you should try threatening them with perverting the course of justice.
Yeah, that's a good idea, thank you! Was she being sarcastic? Just a little.
Was she being sarcastic? Just a little.
Is that it, that's all that's left? Please Vin, don't make me feel any worse than I already do.
Yeah God forbid you'd feel bad, I mean you only stole your dead son's money! You're no-one to preach.
If it wasn't for you, none of this would have happened.
How much was in it when you found it? About four and half.
Thousand? Is this seat free? Or will I be upsetting someone? Please.
What can I get you? An earl grey, thank you.
You wouldn't believe how rarely I get an order for earl grey, or any kind of tea, nowadays they want to know how We're not on the radio Liam, you don't have to fill the dead air.
It doesn't have to be like this.
Forget it.
What's happening? We're free to go.
And that's it? For now.
And David? He'll be fine, Declan will look after him.
You two go on home, I'll wait for David here.
No, no, we'll all wait here, together.
How did it go? Fine.
We said nothing and as far I can see, they have nothing on David.
But what about Katie Kiely's statement? Uncorroborated claims of a witness, who just happens to be the jilted ex-girlfriend of the accused AND the victim's sister, hardly a smoking gun.
Thanks, for everything.
I owe you.
A nice single malt would clear that slate.
Cheers.
Bye.
All this fuss, arresting Michael and David, over nothing, we should complain.
It's not nothing Mum, the blackmailing is a motive for murder, they just can't prove it.
And you should have told me about the blackmail, instead of me having to find out like this.
I can't defend Michael unless I know all the facts.
I'm on the back foot all the time.
I know, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
So if there's anything else that you haven't told me, now would be a good time.
No, now you know everything.
I know it's not much, but it's still blackmail money.
And I know that David Hennessy's prints are all over those notes.
He's a barman, his fingerprints will be on half the notes in town.
I mean we can check for prints but it may not be enough.
Which one of you found the money? I did.
How much was there? Over 4,000.
How much over? There was 4,400 in the box.
Can you just hang on a second here.
I heard about the incident with Daniella McCarthy.
Yes sir.
It was nothing.
Doesn't look like nothing.
I'm fine, really.
I know Sergeant McGonigle is worried about you.
Concerned you've rushed back to work too soon after such a traumatic experience.
Honestly, I'm okay.
Because if you'd like us to keep you away from situations like today until No.
I'm fine sir, thank you.
Okay.
Positive.
And you'd be willing to make a sworn statement to that effect? Yeah.
Why? Because that's exactly how much Patricia Hennessy reported stolen from her pub.
Which supports your Katie's claim that David Hennessy was being blackmailed.
And that with the fact that he admitted stealing the money from the pub, well So we have them? No, but now we have strong case for a motive, which gives us a better chance of securing a murder charge.
If we weren't together none of this would have happened, Darren would still be alive.
