The Drowning Man
(PHONE RINGING) (RINGING CONTINUES) Hello? Jack Driscoll.
Hello? Jack Driscoll.
What sort of trouble? Where is this? OK, who am I talking to? Hello? Hello? Shit! Shit! Daniel! Try his mobile.
He'll be here.
Go on.
You've got his number.
No, we should wait.
It was Daniel's idea.
Give him another ten minutes.
Five, then I'm off.
(KNOCKING) Yes! What did I say? It's Daniel.
Let him in.
Well, this is a cosy little set up on a cold, dark night.
Andy.
Liam.
Anna.
How are you, Anna? I'm good, thank you, Garda Colvin.
That's good.
And your mother and your father? Are they good too? They are.
Thank you.
So we're all good.
And Cathal here is our host for the evening.
Is erthat what they call five card stud you're playing there? Actually, we were just leaving, Garda Colvin.
Yeah, well, I got the impression you were expecting someone else.
Yeah, well, I got the impression you were expecting someone else.
No.
I don't think he'll be coming now.
It's too late.
Well, I'll tell you what, why don't you deal me in seeing as there's a spare place at the table? And ermI think I'll have my usual please, Cathal.
Well, it'll have to be on the house - we're supposed to be closed.
Oh, yes.
I forgot that.
So, who's dealing then, lads? ANSWER MACHINE: Finbarr? ANSWER MACHINE: Finbarr? I'm on my way to get an ID on the drowned man.
In the car! 'Find out who owns the holiday cottage over the bay.
'Find out who owns the holiday cottage over the bay.
Skerig, I think it's called.
And, Finbarr turn your mobile on.
' (PHONE RINGING) Gardai.
Eugene, what's the story? RADIO: Talks are due to resume next week.
A look at the business pages now and it's the long expected deal between Eddie McCann's Premium Holdings and a Chinese Investment Bank that's making headlines.
(DOORBELL) RADIO: If you follow the markets, you'll know that Premium Holdings is one of the Irish success stories, riding out some very rough financial conditions when other companies have been struggling.
According to Chairman Eddie McCann, the success of the company is all down to the loyalty of shareholders.
' Come in.
That's a while ago, since yourself and Jack were friends? That's right, yeah, when he was still stationed in Dublin.
I'm over here on holiday for a day or two.
I'm over here on holiday for a day or two.
I thought it would be nice - He'll be thrilled to see you.
He's not here though? He was called out last night.
I'm expecting him any minute for his breakfast.
He'll not be long.
So, you're Maura Dooley.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Maura, at last.
Will we have some money on this hole, boys? On my wages? Come on.
Wouldn't that make it more interesting? I wouldn't want to take your money, Dennis.
Not if your luck's as bad as your son's.
Liam? Did you know he's playing poker after hours at Mallon's Bar? And losing, too, by the sound of it.
How much this time? You'd have to ask him.
But you'd think these kids were made of money, the way they carry on these days.
What can you do? They need a car, living in a place like this.
They have to be fed and clothed.
Anyway he'll be wasting his own money before too long.
I told him, 'If you think I'm tough on you, wait till you get your own boss.
' Good man.
Speaking of bosses, I saw yours last night out near the beach.
Is that right? Yeah.
I was dropping a friend off, you know, and he came driving along, his lights flashing and blazing.
Nearly had me off the road.
Yeah, there was a fatality, I think.
Someone drowned.
Do you know who? No.
Probably some foreigner off one of those Spanish factory ships, stealing all our bloody fish.
That'll be it.
stealing all our bloody fish.
That'll be it.
Well, it's not supposed to happen, as you know, taking over from your father.
A few strings had to be pulled there.
But Gerry was proud of him, and so was I - having a husband and a son that people would look up to.
He's a good looking man, too.
The whole set of him, the way he walks - it's Gerry every time Jack comes into the room.
it's Gerry every time Jack comes into the room.
It's been a great loss to you.
He was no age, you know.
And fit as a fiddle.
You're lucky you still have Jack.
I still have Jack.
You don't have any children yourself, Maura, no? No.
Fortunately.
I mean, now I'm divorced, I'm glad we didn't.
And you've left your job in the guards? That's a shame.
Was that for the same reason? My husband was in another part of the city.
It's a small world.
I'd have forever been running into him.
And your friend? And your friend? The one you're over here with? He's just a friend.
Hello? I'm in the kitchen.
God Almighty, where've you been? These are soaking wet.
God Almighty, where've you been? These are soaking wet.
You know Brede and Ciaran O'Malley's son, Daniel? He's drowned.
Dear God, no.
How? I wish I knew.
How? I wish I knew.
They'll be in pieces, the pair of them.
She worships that boy.
I could see that.
You might have been drowned yourself going in to the water like that, taking those risks.
Well, it made no difference Well, it made no difference in the end - I couldn't save him.
Hello, Jack.
Maura.
Maura.
I'm sorry, this is a really bad- No, no, you're grand.
I just wasn't expecting you.
It's great to see you.
It's great to see you.
I'm afraid I've been boring her with old photos and stories.
Not at all.
Jack never showed me any pictures.
But, like I said, this is But, like I said, this is a really bad time.
No, stay.
I'm sure Maura can make herself at home.
Look, I have a meeting that I have to get to.
You have a shower or a bath.
Make sure he has something to eat.
I'll try.
You should have that shower.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll do that.
You've put on a bit of weight.
It shows, then? Just a little bit.
Just round here.
Give me the towel.
Come on.
You'd think we'd be fit, living in the country.
Nobody walks anywhere.
You're probably fitter living in the city.
Do you miss being in Dublin? Sometimes.
Your mother told me to make you something to eat.
Then you'd better do it.
Well, she said they were just friends but you only have to see them together to know they were more than that.
Thanks, Cathal.
The one that's come really good for us is Premium Holdings.
It's all over the news this morning, so we have a great chance there as long as we hold our nerve.
Look at the figures from that last quarter there.
Look at the figures from that last quarter there.
It's only a mug's game, Mrs Driscoll.
Shares go down as well as up.
It's only gambling in the end.
I know you have to have a bit of luck but you must study the form to make money in stocks and shares.
Think you're better off doing the lottery or something.
At our age? Is that what you were going to say? Have you played poker? Poker.
Would you listen to him? Have you played poker? Poker.
Would you listen to him? Why would I want to do that? You have the face for it, Mrs Driscoll.
(LAUGHS) I can imagine sort of riff raff you get involved with in a game like that.
No.
They're a decent bunch.
Liam Nolan - do you know him? His father's a solicitor.
A solicitor? That'll make all the difference (!) And Daniel O'Malley.
He's a good lad.
What, do you know him? No-one's told you? Daniel's dead.
He was drowned last night.
Where? In the bay out there.
Jack went in after him, but it was no use.
When he got him out of the water, he was gone.
So, you're a free woman again.
I am.
I chucked his ring into the Liffey.
Well, that's what he threatened to do to me when he found out about you.
You should never have married him.
No.
No.
Punching him wasn't too clever either.
No, but it felt good.
No, but it felt good.
I'm surprised I hadn't heard that you'd left the guards.
I'm surprised I hadn't heard that you'd left the guards.
What are you up to now? Just temporary stuff.
Bits and pieces.
You know, nothing permanent.
You should have called me.
I'd already messed up your life once.
Who's this 'friend' you're on holidays with? It's just someone I work with.
Your mother mentioned you met someone.
A doctor? Maggie.
Attractive? Sexy? Yeah.
Sexier than me? She went back to England.
It's beautiful here, but it's not an easy place to settle.
It's beautiful here, but it's not an easy place to settle.
But many are tempted? Not many make it past the winter.
Where are you staying? Somewhere Michael booked.
He kind of knows the area.
So, tell me about this young lad who drowned.
Daniel O'Malley? He's local.
Father has a fishing boat.
They're decent people.
Hard working.
How did he come to be in the sea? Oh, God knows.
He told his parents he was going out to play poker and the next thing they know, I'm standing at the door telling them he's been drowned.
So, what is it, then, a gambling debt? Or suicide? The poker, you mean? Still thinking like a detective.
It's a hard habit to break.
It's possible, I suppose.
And what about witnesses? Well, the woman who rang me must have seen something but she didn't leave a name.
Still, it's a small community.
Not much stays hidden for long.
Not if you know who to ask.
Thank god you're OK.
It's tough out here.
It's different.
Lonely? Are you going to be around long enough for me to buy you a drink? That's if your friend doesn't mind.
Do you still have my number? It's in the memory there somewhere.
Then give me a call.
Eugene.
How are you? Finbarr.
How are you? So, you've lost a boat, have you? Aye, the small dory.
So, you've lost a boat, have you? Aye, the small dory.
It was tied up when we left it last night.
And could it have broken loose and drifted off? No.
It wasn't in the water.
It was up here by the sheds.
The outboard's gone as well.
So, stolen, then, yeah? Well, that's the way it looks to me.
Ciaran not about yet? No, he has his phone switched off.
That's why I thought I'd better get on to you.
Right.
Jack.
Where were you in the middle of last night? Well, I noticed there were lights on in Mallon's so I dropped in to have a look.
Which would be why you couldn't answer your mobile, I suppose? Did the poker players tell you Daniel O'Malley was supposed to be in there? They were expecting someone.
I didn't know it was Daniel.
Why? It was Daniel who drowned last night.
So it would have been his hand you were playing, if you'd been playing.
Daniel O'Malley? Good God.
Was there much money involved? No.
Pocket money that's all.
Poor kid.
I remember him helping around the pier during the summer holidays.
Yeah.
17 years old.
Well, that explains one thing anyhow.
You know Eugene - he works for Ciaran? He phoned me this morning to say the little dory they have - the one that they use as a tender - disappeared last night.
He must have been fishing.
At night? No lifejacket? A lot of fishermen don't like wearing life jackets.
Daniel wasn't a fisherman.
His mother said they couldn't get him interested in it, so he's hardly likely to be out hauling nets in the middle of the night, is he? God knows what's running around in these kids' heads.
It's like talking with aliens with them most of the time.
I passed Dennis Nolan on my way out there.
I know you did.
I've just played a round with him.
And he mentioned seeing me? I've just played a round with him.
And he mentioned seeing me? Oh, yeah.
(LAUGHS) Oh, yeah.
(LAUGHS) Said you nearly had him off the road.
Keen to tell me he was dropping a friend home.
Wanted to know what was the hurry with you.
Is this a regular round you have with Nolan? You must be joking.
I can't abide the man.
That's why it was a pleasure to take 50 euros off him for one hole.
Shame we can't get a result in court like that now and again, huh? Did you get that message about the cottage? Skerig.
Yeah.
I'm onto it now.
I'll catch you later.
I'll catch you later.
Right-o.
This better be quick, Sergeant.
I've another case due on.
Last night, I passed you near the beach.
You did.
You nearly had me in the ditch.
Can you tell me what you were doing out there? Didn't Finbarr tell you? I was dropping a friend off home.
He'd had a few glasses and I didn't want him taking any risks by driving.
I see the consequences of that in here every day.
Did you notice any activity out there? Lights on the beach? Anything like that? You know, I must have been You know, I must have been on autopilot.
I'm assuming all these questions are in connection with the young man who drowned? Daniel O'Malley.
His father has a fishing boat.
I think my son knew him.
Mr Nolan? Here you go.
Was it a fishing accident? I expect it was something like that.
I expect it was something like that.
Tragic.
You wouldn't happen to have the name of that friend of yours handy, would you? He's a client, Sergeant.
But he would be able to verify that you were driving him home? If you had good reason to ask him to.
Everyone just turned up.
We didn't know what else to do.
It was Sergeant Driscoll here who went in after Daniel.
You all knew him.
What sort of mood had he been in lately? Normal, happy.
Always nice to everyone.
He'd been quite moody though.
Not to me.
A bit low.
Depressed? Well, quieter than usual.
You think he might have killed himself? I'm just trying to get a sense of what was going on in his life.
Did he have a girlfriend? Were they getting on? No-one special.
But Daniel wouldn't do something like this.
It wasn't in his nature.
It wasn't in his nature.
He had a big row with his dad.
When? A few weeks back.
What was that about? A few weeks back.
What was that about? They weren't getting on.
But sure, that's normal, isn't it? Thanks.
Jack Driscoll.
Garda Sergeant Driscoll.
Michael Casey.
WOMAN: Who is it? You've met Maura.
What can we do for you, Sergeant? Can I come in? Sure.
We're a bit disorganised, but come in.
That's a great view.
It's a grand spot, isn't it? You're enjoying your holiday? Very much.
Maura told you what happened? Yeah.
I can't believe someone was drowning while we were asleep.
You didn't hear anything? See anything? Lights on the beach? You know, we can't seem to stay awake here, can we? It must be the sea air.
You didn't hear any vehicles? Not a sound.
We knew nothing about this - well, not till you told Maura.
It's just that I got a call to say that someone was in trouble.
A woman's voice.
She wouldn't leave her name.
Right.
What do you do, Michael? I work with Maura.
Sales.
It's pretty boring sort of shite but we have a laugh, don't we? You're interested in birdwatching? I'm getting into it.
Cormorants and stuff.
Obviously, if we do hear anything, we'll call you.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Maura has my number.
I suppose this happens out here quite a lot? Get pissed, go for a midnight swim, find yourself out of your depth.
Usually it's only the visitors who do that.
Locals tend to know where it's safe.
Don't forget that drink, Maura.
No.
What? The point of going to see him was to find out whether he was going to cause us a problem here.
Yeah, which is what I did.
You also seem to have given him the impression that you're available for a cosy bloody reunion.
And maybe some extras.
Meaning? Oh, you didn't see his tongue hanging out? I went to see him.
I tried to find out how much he knew.
This whole thing is about to go arse upwards! You tell me you know the local guard.
I say, 'Fine, let's use that.
Find out how he's going to handle this.
' I didn't say give him the impression you were up for a shag! Jack.
Jack! What are you going to do? When did all this undercover shite start? Were you at it when we were together? It's my job.
No, I wasn't 'at it' when we were together.
I was recruited after I got divorced.
You shouldn't have dragged my mother into this.
What could I do? I couldn't just turn up at the station.
You used her.
It's not fair.
You've given her the wrong impression.
Jack? Yeah, yeah, right.
Erthat'll be 50 euros the round trip.
Grand.
See you there.
Bye-bye.
Jack Driscoll? Garda Colvin.
Can I help you? Chief Superintendent Lynch.
It's Jack Driscoll I'm after.
Right, sir.
Well, Sergeant Driscoll will be back here any minute now.
Right, sir.
Well, Sergeant Driscoll will be back here any minute now.
I tell you what, why don't you make yourself comfortable.
Because, you see, like, I'm a bit tied up right at the minute and I have to - I can see you're a busy man, Garda Colvin.
You get on with whatever it is you have to do.
Right.
Good luck.
We could get some real work done if it wasn't for all this shite.
Isn't that right, Sergeant? Isn't that right, Sergeant? Chief Superintendent Lynch.
Organised Crime Unit.
If it's any consolation, the pile on my desk is twice what you have here.
So you have a drowned man on your hands.
That's right.
And is it true that you went into the sea after him? At night? At this time of year? At night? At this time of year? It's not something you stop to think about.
Oh, I don't know about that.
That's the kind of thing they hand out medals for.
Well, I lost him so it I made no difference.
Yeah.
Very sad.
But you can look yourself in the eye and say you tried.
You were tested you came through.
Have you filed your report yet, Sergeant? Not yet.
It shouldn't take you long.
Paperwork on a straightforward accident like that - simple stuff compared to all of this shite.
I'm not at all sure about what happened yet.
It might be an accident.
I don't know.
Oh.
It's perfectly clear to me, Jack.
I think you'll find that what happened here was an accident, at least until my people have finished their work.
Your people? Detective Sergeant Casey and Detective Garda Dooley are two of the best officers in my unit.
Now I'm sure I don't have to remind you of the protocol involved when an officer stumbles across an undercover operation.
I know how it's supposed to work.
Of course you do.
You're an experienced man.
Now what Casey and Dooley are doing here is very important to me.
It's very important to the state.
And I cannot, and I will not, allow anything to compromise that operation.
That might be easier if I knew what the operation was.
I've told you all you need to know.
Oh, your partner - the one with the taxi.
He doesn't know about your people.
Local paper? No.
Radio? No.
Good.
That's the way I want to keep it.
Well, would you look at that? I'd like to have your drive to work in the morning, Jack.
Gerry Driscoll? Remind me.
He was my father.
Of course he was.
I bumped into him once in Templemore.
I think he might have been doing his sergeant exams.
The early nineties? That would be it.
You could never tell what that man was thinking.
Of course it would have been different for you, being his son.
I'm sure he would have talked - He never spoke about work.
He was a very discreet man when it came to the job.
And that's what I want you to be, Jack.
There's no need for you to have anything to do with my people.
As far as you're concerned, they're a young couple enjoying a quiet break.
But if you do happen to bump into them again, a little bit of your father's discretion wouldn't go amiss.
And it's Garda Colvin's wife's, taxi not his.
Oh, I don't worry about that, Jack.
I knew a Guard once who ran a funeral parlour from the barracks.
Can you believe it? You're the boss.
You're the sheriff.
Be safe, be well.
Did you ever learn any German, I wonder.
No.
'Pochen' - It's a German word, I believe.
That's where we get the word 'poker' from.
Pochen, poker, bluff.
Is that right? Were you and Daniel close? We were at the National School together.
Is this the first time you've ever lost someone? Someone my own age.
Last week he was in here banging on about this terrible argument he'd had with his dad.
I told him to get on with it.
And now you wish you'd been a bit more sympathetic? Yeah, something like that.
You already know how to play, don't you? You already know how to play, don't you? Liam.
Where've you been? In was out on the beach where Daniel died.
Yeah, it's tough when something like this happens.
I know that.
Did you hear any more? No.
No.
He was supposed to be with us at Mallon's.
He was out in a boat.
He was out in a boat.
Nobody can understand it.
Look Liam, if you had any troubles, you would talk to me, wouldn't you? Yeah, of course.
Here.
Dad - Here.
Dad - Ah, go on.
Take this.
It'll cover what you lost last night.
Don't waste it.
Thanks.
The pockets were full of sand.
I don't know what it's done to my machine.
You didn't have to do all that.
I could have ironed them myself.
Like that one you've on, you mean? It's a pity you didn't bring Maura over to meet your dad when he was still alive.
They'd have got on well.
He was always a hit with the ladies.
She's a lovely looking woman.
And she's a mind of her own, as do I.
Here.
Big box of his stuff down at the station.
And he'd have you to think he wasn't a sentimental man.
Did he ever mention him? Lynch? Your father was always one Lynch? Your father was always one for keeping up with who was in and who was out at the Phoenix Park.
But he's one you would remember.
Bit of a crusader.
He's done well for himself, hasn't he? Chief Superintendent.
What did dad say about him? The worst thing your father could say about someone was that he had no sense of humour.
But your man here must be good to get where he is.
How do you know him? to get where he is.
How do you know him? His name came up.
Have you any news of Daniel? No.
I'm just on my way to the hospital now to pick up the autopsy report.
I'll see you later.
I'm sorry.
The last thing I wanted was to bring you out here.
I'm sorry.
The last thing I wanted was to bring you out here.
I didn't want to have to come here, Michael.
I thought this operation was in safe hands.
I thought I could concentrate on the Dublin end of things and leave this side to you.
We couldn't have planned on the kid going in the water.
hat came out of nowhere.
Did you speak to this culchie guard yet? I told him that, until you've finished your work here, what he has on his hands is a straightforward accident.
Did you tell him what we're doing? No.
He knows who you are but not what you're doing.
Is he happy with that? With Driscoll's record, he's lucky to have a job.
He'd be a fool to risk his career.
He'd be a lot easier to handle if he hadn't been mixed up with Maura way back.
That emotional business - that really complicates things.
Dooley has good instincts.
She can handle it.
I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better just to pull out now.
Are you serious? Yeah.
Rather than have the thing go off half-cocked.
Michael, this operation means a lot to me.
And to me.
And this is your chance to prove it.
This is your chance to make your mark.
As you well know, we don't have a great record with this target.
More coffee? Excuse me? More coffee? No.
Thank you.
No.
Thank you.
The idea was to keep it simple, small, low key.
Get in, get the evidence, get out.
Now I chose you, Michael, above all the others.
I chose you.
We have to deliver.
We have to deliver.
You have to deliver.
Now this operation goes ahead in spite of your drowned man.
Yeah? Now this operation goes ahead in spite of your drowned man.
Yeah? Any sign of alcohol? No.
Drugs? Nothing.
Nothing at all.
OK, thanks.
Actually, I thought I might drop his personal effects and clothes back to his parents.
Sure.
I'll ask one of the nurses.
Great.
Thank you.
I had to pick up some paperwork at the hospital.
They asked me to drop this off.
Some of Daniel's things.
Saw you in town.
I was on my way out to the boat.
Sorry, Brede.
There's nothing yet.
It might be useful for me to have a look at his room.
Would that be OK? It might be useful for me to have a look at his room.
Would that be OK? Will you bring the guard up and show him Daniel's room? Tell me about the argument.
What argument? The argument you had with Daniel.
What was that about? There was no argument.
The same as any other family.
About his future, what he was going to do with his life.
What was he going to do? Anything but go to sea.
I can't blame him, really.
The business is finished.
He was playing a lot of poker.
Not a lot.
Just with his friends.
For money? No, no.
What about online? I told you before.
It was just a bit of fun.
It's an easy way to lose a lot of money.
Easy to let things get out of control.
You think maybe he was in debt? Lads his age can find it difficult to talk to their families, bottle it up.
Are you suggesting he did this on purpose? No.
I don't think it was deliberate.
I think Daniel went into the water I think Daniel went into the water by accident.
I want to find out what he was doing out there in the first place.
I want to find out what he was doing out there in the first place.
Was he involved in drugs in any way? Good God, no! He was never interested in anything like that in his life.
Eugene reported your dory missing first thing this morning.
Had Daniel taken it out before? BREDE: The dory? What would he be doing out in the dark in that little thing? CIARAN: Nobody knows what happened.
The boat was gone but nobody knows what it was he was doing out there.
Now you're asking me about his poker playing, drugs and God knows what.
Drugs? That's not Daniel.
And the poker, that's just a hobby with them all nowadays.
I have to ask.
I know you do.
It's true, you do hear about young people, all this pressure on them, and the parents only find out when it's too late.
What are you saying? I'm saying you hear it, that's all.
Good God, man! If my son was thinking of taking his life I'd know about it.
I loved him.
He was my own blood.
I would have known if he was in trouble.
I don't understand what all these questions are for.
I'm sorry, Brede.
I'm trying to find out what happened to your son.
Let's get back to Denis Nolan.
Do you have anything to do with him? I know him.
He loaned me money.
What? Couple of thousand.
Five thousand.
Five thousand euro? And I paid him back.
It was purely a business arrangement.
A small loan.
What on earth were you doing taking money from a man like that? Nolan doesn't do favours! He doesn't do anything for nothing! What has all this got to do with my son and Dennis Nolan? Nothing.
It has nothing to do with the man.
The guard is asking you a question, Ciaran.
Why is he asking? What's he suggesting? I'm suggesting nothing, Mrs O'Malley.
I'm just asking questions.
Where is he? Talk to me.
I want Casey.
I want some answers.
Be reasonable.
Lynch told you - Why don't you come down and tell Daniel's mother why her son died? She needs some answers.
And I can't give them to her.
You know what I'm doing here.
No, I don't.
You won't tell me.
You know I can't talk about it.
You didn't have to lie to me.
Do you think I enjoyed that? It's a possibility, isn't it? Given your record.
Jack, grow up.
This isn't about us.
There is no us.
This is about work.
Leave me alone before you blow the whole thing open.
Leave me alone before you blow the whole thing open.
What exactly is your relationship with Ciaran O'Malley? You're behaving like a fool.
I have Daniel out there in Ciaran's boat alone, and nobody can tell me why.
and nobody can tell me why.
I also have a local man, a solicitor with a dodgy reputation, down near the beach at the same time.
Now, I think Daniel was trying to get ashore when he went into the water.
Now, I think Daniel was trying to get ashore when he went into the water.
He had no car there, so he must have been meeting someone.
You're putting all of us in danger by coming here - including, if you knew it, Ciaran and his wife including, if you knew it, Ciaran and his wife No, YOU did that when you rang me to say that someone was in trouble.
You were shit scared and you didn't know what to do, so you called me.
Now I didn't ask to be dragged into this.
Now I didn't ask to be dragged into this.
Now I have been, the least you can do is tell me what the fuck is going on.
OK.
Let's try Casey.
Why don't you stop and think before you make a serious mistake? You both watched the beach the night Daniel died.
Why? What did I tell you? This is why they sent him out here.
This is why it was a bad idea to see him.
How long have you been in this job? Don't treat me like a fool.
I'm sick of lying to decent people.
Don't treat me like a fool.
I'm sick of lying to decent people.
Is that so? And would that be because you have scruples? Because you've got a duty to perform? You know what? Fuck your scruples.
Fuck your duty.
This is a major investigation into - Into what? Go on.
A 17-year-old boy is lying on a slab because of what you're doing here.
Now I find out his father's involved somehow as well.
I don't care about your operation.
I don't give a fuck how major it is.
I think you deliberately placed him and his family at risk.
Now do you expect me to sit here and do nothing while you shit on my doorstep and expect me to clear it up? One way or another, Casey, I'm having some answers.
You're having nothing! Stick to handing out parking tickets to tourists.
Be reasonable.
There was Be reasonable.
There was nothing we could do for Daniel.
Sorry.
That is the truth, believe me.
Ask him why he didn't go after him.
Jack, please This is to do with drugs, isn't it? Daniel O'Malley was mixed up in it somehow.
Leave it alone.
One death is enough.
Go home to your mother and leave this to people trained to handle it.
OK.
Let's try a different approach.
Driscoll - look, I know what your problem is.
I know what it's about.
But if you - Michael Casey, I'm arresting you Jack! (SPITS) Assault on an officer will do nicely.
Jack, wait.
Jack, please listen! You're not obliged to say anything, but anything you do say Can you believe this? .
.
may be used Jack, you're behaving like an idiot! .
.
in evidence.
If I find your friend here sent a 17-year-old to his death, I swear to God I'll bury him.
Now move! BRAKES SQUEAL You what? This guy is starting to get on my nerves.
OK, I'm onto it.
Fuck! Sit.
Garda Colvin, This is Mr Michael Casey, Sit.
Garda Colvin, This is Mr Michael Casey, all the way from Dublin.
I'm bringing him in for resisting arrest I'm bringing him in for resisting arrest and assaulting a guard.
Oh.
Is that right? What do you two farmers think you're going to do to me in this shithole? This is a joke! YOU'RE a joke.
All the way from Dublin and assaulting a guard? That's not a joke in my book.
Neither is reckless endangerment, the next charge I'm looking at.
You think this is going to impress her? Oh, yeah.
Mr Casey.
You'll be the gentleman staying in the little cottage? This isn't the behaviour we expect from people enjoying a quiet holiday.
Mr Casey's being a bit vague about exactly what he's doing here.
I'm hoping he can shed some light on Daniel O'Malley's death.
Keep hoping.
Let's get some particulars, shall we? Right-oh.
Ah, this can take a bit of time, Mr Casey.
Since you're making it up as you go? (LAUGHS) No, no.
I mean with all the forms and bureaucracy and that sort of thing.
Would you like tea or coffee while we go through the process? Enjoy it while you can.
Right.
That's a no, is it? I'd better take a note of that.
'Prisoner refused refreshments.
' Would you empty your pockets, please? Let's assume you're serious.
We both know you can't charge me here.
I didn't know that.
Did you know that, Jack? I think you'll find we do things differently here in the wild west.
I think you'll find we do things differently here in the wild west.
Your pockets.
Let's see if we can get some details about Mr Casey from that lot.
If my operation goes down the Swanee because of your ego Can I speak to you outside, sergeant? You've got the wrong man there, sergeant.
I have a man who assaulted me, and may have endangered the life of someone barely out of school.
and may have endangered the life of someone barely out of school.
I don't care who you are or what you're doing.
It's not something I can ignore.
Maura, would you come to the station straight away? Thanks.
Now, I thought I'd made myself perfectly clear last time we spoke.
There's a bigger picture here, and you're not seeing it.
Maybe if you told me what it was.
Did I get you wrong, Jack? If you assumed I was my father then, yes, I believe you did.
Now, you're a determined man and I respect that.
So stop treating me like a fool.
I've been involved in the internal politics of this job before, and I didn't like it.
Get in the car.
Is it true you can even send e-mails on these? That's still my property.
Would you mind not fucking around with it? Ha, ha! Would you believe we don't even have a computer? Half the time the powers that be don't even know what we're up to.
THUNDER CRACKS I'm going to tell you something I don't tell many people.
I was out near the border in '79 in a one-on-one station like yours.
I was out near the border in '79 in a one-on-one station like yours.
My sergeant was a great man.
He was a great country copper.
One spring morning he walked into a post office, and a terrorist gunman shot him dead.
That's one of five bullets they dug out of his body.
That's one of five bullets they dug out of his body.
You can imagine what five of those would do to you.
That gunman was never caught, though we knew who he was.
And these days he's hardly off the front pages.
International businessman.
Public benefactor.
He's a man with a violent past, but he has one great talent.
He's a man with a violent past, but he has one great talent.
He can stop certain people from rocking the political boat.
D'you follow me? No one wants to ask awkward questions about Eddie McCann or where his money comes from, just as long as his old friends stay quiet.
Now, men like us, we might wonder why we should be ignoring them Now, men like us, we might wonder why we should be ignoring them just because it's politically expedient.
But we're only a couple of guards, aren't we, Jack? What do we know? Well, I'll tell you what I know.
Last year alone, Eddie McCann was behind the importation of E50 million worth of drugs into this country.
He has ten million of cocaine lying in your beautiful bay as we speak.
Now, we've known for some time he's a major player in the drugs trade, Now, we've known for some time he's a major player in the drugs trade, but we've never been able to bring a successful case against him.
I've had two operations against him fall at the last fence.
Nolan's the last piece Nolan's the last piece in the jigsaw.
He's the link between the drugs in your bay and McCann.
Well, plenty of people are wondering how a country solicitor like Nolan got to do quite so well for himself.
Well, now you know.
Our job is to catch Nolan with his hands on the drugs.
Isn't this what you signed up for? Wouldn't nailing a man like McCann make all the shite, the bloody paperwork, worthwhile? But surely Nolan won't risk anything now he knows I'm sniffing around.
And that's why you have to stop sniffing around and let Michael Casey get on with his job.
Now, as you point out, they're unlikely to risk bringing it in to the same spot now Daniel's dead and you're investigating his death.
But without Daniel, Casey is going to have to go to his father and make a new arrangement.
So Daniel was Casey's tout, not Ciaran? I couldn't tell you before.
I couldn't take the chance.
The more people who know, the bigger the risk of a leak.
That bullet's been in my pocket for nearly 30 years, and I would dearly like to give it back to Mr McCann.
I'm close, Jack.
Oh, I'm that close.
I'm close, Jack.
Oh, I'm that close.
Finbarr? Release Detective Sergeant Casey.
Finbarr? Release Detective Sergeant Casey.
Yeah.
That's right.
So what happens to Ciaran O'Malley? He's a drug trafficker.
Do you care? I care about his family.
He's not the only one at risk.
Ciaran O'Malley dragged his son into this.
He's two mortgages - a house and a boat.
There's Spanish trawlers there hoovering up everything with fins while his government, the government who's in bed with Eddie McCann, tells him he can't fish nine months of the year because of EU quotas.
So he goes to Nolan and borrows a few thousand.
Nolan asks for a small favour in return.
But it doesn't stop there, because with McCann and Nolan it never stops.
Once they've found a safe way in, they'll keep coming back.
Now, as I say, Jack, you can understand, you can sympathise, Now, as I say, Jack, you can understand, you can sympathise, but you also have to judge.
You have any problems, give me a shout before you do anything.
You have any problems, give me a shout before you do anything.
So it's business as usual, is it? Let the professionals get on with their job? Let the professionals get on with their job? Leave it to the experts, turn a blind eye - whichever you prefer.
What did you make of Casey? What did you make of Casey? Did you see the watch on him? And all those fancy little gadgets? Nobody could blame you for wanting a bit if it's on offer.
But these guys aren't like you and me, Jack.
There's no honour where these guys are concerned.
There's no honour where these guys are concerned.
Everyone is expendable.
They should never have involved a kid like Daniel.
And leaving him to drown in the middle of the bloody night like that? If Casey was any sort of man, he would have gone in there after him.
And if he's supposed to be the boss, why did he let her call me? Why didn't he ring me himself? Mm.
I tell you what.
He called someone in the middle of the night.
That is his last number redial.
He thought I was playing Submarines or something, but I thought it would be no harm to check his calls while he was here.
That must be Lynch.
Have you got his number? That's not it.
Well, d'you want me to give it a go? Well, d'you want me to give it a go? No.
No, hold on.
Thanks.
Right.
(PHONE RINGS) Jack? Are you all right? I don't think that's a very good idea.
OK, just give me a minute.
I'll think of an excuse.
RADIO: 'This deal we're hearing about with Eddie McCann's Premium Holdings and Chinese Investment Bank?' 'Yeah, I spoke to Eddie McCann yesterday, 'Yeah, I spoke to Eddie McCann yesterday, and it's very much in line with his long-term strategy for the company.
' 'And yet he's made a name for himself by ploughing a large part of the company profits back into Ireland.
' 'He has.
Not taking out of Ireland what he's earned in Ireland.
' 'It's something of a mantra with him.
' 'He built the company up from nothing, and you'd have to say it's paid off handsomely.
' OK, let me call you back.
OK, let me call you back.
Who was that? Lynch.
What did he want? Probably making sure I hadn't been arrested by your boyfriend again.
God, he's really got under your skin, hasn't he? I'm just fascinated, really, how you ever got involved with a gorilla like Driscoll.
Anyhow, he's finished as soon as we get out of here.
What, you're going to get even now? The man shouldn't be in a uniform.
Or his idle bloody sidekick.
I thought you were going to bed.
No.
I need to use the car.
What for? I want something in the chemist.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Are you going to see him? D'you want to come with me? So you've had the sermon? Well rehearsed, then, is it? Yeah.
That doesn't mean it's not sincere, though.
McCann should have been behind bars years ago.
And is Casey the man to put him there? He's very anxious, Jack.
He's got a lot riding on this.
And he's jealous of my relationship with you, nervous that Lynch is confiding in you.
I've worked with him before.
Look, I'm not having a go at you.
I know a little bit about the world you work in.
And I know sometimes you end up not knowing who to trust.
Do you trust Casey? I don't like him.
Does it bother you that he was using a 17-year-old as his tout? Those are the sort of calls we have to make, Jack.
Daniel was looking for a way to get his father off the hook.
Tell me exactly what happened the night he died.
Is that why you brought me here? I had to lie to Casey - Maura, it's important.
We were at the cottage, watching Daniel drag that stuff onto the boat.
On his own? He was supposed to be with his father.
The two of them together.
That is how it was supposed to work.
We couldn't make out the details, but .
.
we could see he was in trouble.
He couldn't manage it on his own.
So why didn't you do something to help him? Casey said that it was too late, we had to let it run.
And Nolan was on the beach, remember.
We couldn't just turn up.
Next thing we knew the boat was empty and Daniel was in the water.
I couldn't just stand there and watch him drown.
I couldn't just stand there and watch him drown.
But Casey could? Did he do anything at all? He called Lynch.
How do you know? He told me.
Lynch brought Casey into the squad.
He gave him all his breaks.
They're like father and son.
Lynch told me you'd had a few cases go down at the last hurdle.
Yeah, because it's always touch and go with operations like this.
Look, you can catch the street dealers, the lowlifes and runners, but with people like McCann and Nolan, it's something else.
One suspicion, they're gone.
So you have to let things run.
As someone drowns in front of you? Sometimes, yes.
OK.
But the fact is, Casey doesn't have a great track record, does he? OK.
But the fact is, Casey doesn't have a great track record, does he? That's why this is so important to him.
This is a list of recently dialled calls from Casey's mobile.
I know - just look.
That has to be the call Casey made that you say was to Lynch.
Now is that Lynch's number? It's not the number I use.
Do you recognise it? No.
Doesn't that make you think? Lynch told me this was being kept small-scale Lynch told me this was being kept small-scale so that there was less risk of any leaks.
But here's your man Casey ringing God knows who at just the moment when it all starts to go wrong.
So you have a suspicious number.
What are you going to do about it? That's why I wanted to talk to you.
You know Lynch.
What do you think I should do? Do you want my advice, Jack? Do you want my advice, Jack? Think very carefully before you call him.
You've a nice life here.
Another couple of days and we'll be gone.
Don't mess it up because you've taken a dislike to Casey.
Did you sleep well? Not great.
Not great.
Look, Jack.
I know I can't help you with your work Look, Jack.
I know I can't help you with your work in the way your father might have done, but I do know what this job is like.
but I do know what this job is like.
I know you do.
What I'm saying is, he had me to share it with.
So if you ever want to talk about anything at all Was he a worry to you? Ah, you know he was.
Every minute he was out there in that uniform.
Ah, you know he was.
Every minute he was out there in that uniform.
Why I thought it would be any different with you, I don't know.
But I know you'll always do the right thing.
Like Dad, you mean? I'm away for my bath.
(DIALS) RINGING TONE 'McCann.
' 'Hello?' Hello, is Jimmy there? Hello, is Jimmy there? 'Jimmy? No.
You've got the wrong number.
' Sorry.
I must have misdialled.
Can I speak to you alone? We're out here in the open, Jack.
I think that's how we should keep it.
I think that's how we should keep it.
I believe you have an informant.
Someone inside your operation.
Did you bring me all the way out here for this? You'll have to give me a bit more than that, Jack.
I think Detective Casey is passing information to your target, Eddie McCann.
What? Are you going to listen to this bollocks? I don't have hard evidence Time this man was relieved of his duties.
At the moment all I have is circumstantial evidence.
At the moment.
He has no evidence of any kind.
From the moment he wandered into this thing, the moment he caught sight of me with his old girlfriend, he's been trying to put a stick in my wheel.
That's what this is all about, him and her.
It has nothing to do with Maura.
He thinks I'm shagging her and it's driving him mad.
You think I'm shagging her? Michael.
That's enough.
She only came on to you cos I told her to.
She's laughing at you.
Michael, enough! You were told to back off.
You were told you were out of your depth! I want the operation to succeed as much as you do.
I want to see Nolan go down, and I want to see justice for Daniel O'Malley.
You mentioned evidence.
The night Daniel drowned, Casey dialled this number.
So what? Do you recognise it? It's just a phone number, Jack.
I don't know whose.
I called that number this morning.
Eddie McCann answered it.
Huh! This is crazy.
Give me your phone, Michael.
Ah, this is ridiculous.
The whole thing is in his head.
What do you know? What do you know? Nothing! The phone.
You dialled the same number again last night.
What's that about? I'm allowed to make phone calls.
I was checking something.
What? I don't have to explain to this man.
I don't have to explain myself to a failure, a useless No, you don't.
But you do to me.
But you do to me.
I told you.
I was trying to get an idea of McCann's movements.
I told you.
I was trying to get an idea of McCann's movements.
After Daniel drowned, I thought I wondered if he suspected something, so I wondered if he suspected something, so So you thought you'd give him a call? Just to check in? How many times have we been so close to nailing McCann? Hm? I thought, you know, if I could find another way, a way to make him Trust you? Exactly.
Yeah.
And then I could use that trust - Ah, Michael.
Michael.
You are clutching at straws.
No! Chief! You know me! How long have I been with you? Ah, come on, man! You know me! Have I let you down in some way, Michael? Have I? You can't catch him.
And if you do, you'll never get a conviction.
We both know that.
Was I going to be stuck with you till you retired, and still be chasing the same man? Is that what I was supposed to do with my career? I trusted you.
All your talk about the big picture! You can't see the big picture.
You're obsessed with one man.
Eddie McCann's a protected species.
No one can touch him because he's too important.
Without McCann holding things together, we all know what happens.
So you justify it to yourself? No, no.
It's what you told me.
Eddie McCann is the price we have to pay for peace in this country.
You won't catch him, because no one in this country wants him caught.
Why? Because a trial would be worse than allowing him to carry on with his drugs and his tax dodges, people-smuggling too for all I know.
He's too big and too powerful, and he knows too much.
This is your crusade, not mine.
I could have been an inspector by now.
I could have been an inspector by now.
Instead I'm stuck here, trying to sort out your stupid fucking blood feud with Eddie McCann! (RETCHES) (RETCHES) How were you going to get him off the hook this time? If Daniel hadn't drowned and we'd got our evidence on Nolan? Talk to me, Michael.
Good man.
(COUGHS) McCann can always find a Nolan.
McCann would have had Nolan killed? Give me your gun.
(SNAPS FINGERS) (SIGHS) Did Daniel tell you he was going to be alone that night? No.
If his father had been with him, none of this would have happened.
Go and wait in the car, Michael.
You were suspicious of him from the start.
I didn't trust him.
And you were right.
And you were right.
I need you to go to Ciaran O'Malley and tell him the deal is still on.
I need you to go to Ciaran O'Malley and tell him the deal is still on.
Can you do that for me? Yeah.
I'll tell Maura.
What about him? Oh, don't worry about Michael.
He'll do what he's told from now on.
Thanks, Jack.

I truly I am.

Ciaran.
Is there somewhere we can talk? At the moment, you don't think things can get any worse.
I'm telling you now, they can get a lot worse.
You're mixed up with people who will do anything to get what they want.
They didn't care about Daniel, and they don't care about you and Brede.
You are all expendable.
Do you understand that? It's time to talk to me, Ciaran.
You want to talk to me, don't you? I have a priest down there in my own front room I have a priest down there in my own front room if I want any of that bollocks.
Ciaran.
I know everything.
The deal with Nolan.
What you've been doing.
What you were trying to bring ashore.
Where.
Who was waiting for it.
Where it's going.
In fact, I know more than you do because I know who's behind it all.
I don't know what my son was doing in the water, but it was nothing to do with drugs or Listen to me! You're sitting in the room where he slept! You can smell his aftershave off the pillow! This is a house of mourning.
Leave us in peace, please! Peace? There isn't going to be any more peace.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Detectives from Dublin were onto Daniel.
Daniel was their tout.
Dates, times - they knew it all, because Daniel told them.
Dates, times - they knew it all, because Daniel told them.
And why would he do that? Why would he betray you, his own father? Because I was too scared to do it myself.
Because I was too scared to do it myself.
I wasn't man enough.
He wanted me to go to the guards.
That's what the argument was about.
He could see where all of this was going.
He knew I'd never get Nolan off my back.
He wanted us to be free of all of this.
He wouldn't let me go in the boat with him.
And now I know why.
I think it's time to tell Brede the truth.
Oh How can I tell her? She needs to know why her son died.
But you can't be with them all the time, can you? You have to trust them, you have to let them go.
The guard wants to talk to us.
How could you do that to my son? And the detectives that all came down from Dublin, and even you.
I know you risked your life for him, but he was only a boy, and you all used him, even his own father.
Brede No.
Don't try to explain.
Nolan came to me and he offered me money.
I don't want to know why.
I don't care why.
We were going to lose everything we had.
God, and we did.
My boy.
My lovely, lovely boy.
Our boy.
No! Brede.
I'm sorry but this isn't over.
The cocaine that Ciaran brought in is still out there in the bay.
These men are waiting for him to hand it over.
Well, why don't you go out and catch them? Why don't you go out and catch them! They have a fortune tied up in this, and they're not going to risk it because your son is dead.
So we're all trapped in this? Yes.
Whether we like it or not? Yes, you are.
They know everything about us.
Oh, God.
So we're all in danger? They know everything about us.
Oh, God.
So we're all in danger? They know everything about us.
Oh, God.
So we're all in danger? If Ciaran doesn't keep his part of the bargain, you're in grave danger.
The children? Brede.
These are unbelievable sums of money we're talking about here.
These men will stop at nothing.
Is there anything I can do? Please.
Is there anything I can do? Please.
Well, you can help us catch the people behind this.
And then maybe, at the trial I can't promise anything, but I want to help you.
Senior officers want to help you.
But you have to agree to help them.
You know where the drugs are.
Why don't you just tell them and be done with it? That's not good enough, Brede.
Denis Nolan has to believe that this operation is going ahead exactly as planned, exactly as Ciaran agreed.
You have to make Nolan believe that.
We need clear evidence that ties Nolan to that cocaine.
Thank you for coming, Mr Nolan.
I'm sorry for your loss, Mrs O'Malley, I really am.
Ciaran.
I'm sorry.
Mr Nolan.
It's a sad day, sergeant.
It is.
I hear you acquitted yourself well.
It's a strange business, It's a strange business, all the same.
In the water at that hour of the night.
I'm not sure it's all that strange.
So you have some idea of what happened? Daniel was playing a lot of poker online.
It looks as if he'd run up some big debts in his father's name.
Ciaran has his own financial problems.
Surely you're not suggesting the lad took his own life? Seems the most likely explanation.
Do they know this? I've just told them.
Jesus.
You and I have some experience at dealing with bereavements, but this, wellit's a tough one.
I'm sure they'll be glad of your sympathy.
They're very vulnerable right now.
I'm sorry to be barging in again like this.
No, I said any time, and I meant it.
No, I said any time, and I meant it.
Do you have any regrets? About resigning from a good job, I mean because of well, whatever it was? I don't know.
I suppose time will tell.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude.
And you're not.
I'm poking my nose in where I've no business.
I'm poking my nose in where I've no business.
I just think it's an awful shame that a young woman like yourself, with a good job Did you work? When I met Jack's father, I was training to be a teacher.
Really? It was a very common thing, the guard and the schoolteacher.
You worked as a team.
People find that very difficult nowadays, don't they? Because they don't know how to share, is what it is.
It's all about being an individual now, isn't it? Not that that's wrong, but it makes sharing a life difficult.
I don't envy the youngsters nowadays.
Do you worry about Jack? That never goes, no matter what age they are.
I suppose I'd like to see him settled.
I suppose I'd like to see him settled.
I only ever seem to bring him bad luck.
People think Jack's like his father, but he's like me.
Once he makes a decision, he makes his own luck.
Look who's here! I'm afraid I have to go.
Did she have the photos out again? I know you think she mothers you, but actually, she'd like you off her hands.
Is that right? Mm.
What's the story with Casey? He's with the Chief.
(PHONE RINGS) Ciaran.
OK, what time? OK, what time? And you know what to do? That's right.
Just make the drop, take the money, same as always.

What's wrong? ENGINE STARTS Come on, man, take it.
Just take it.
Um, by the way, I don't know what you and Brede decided about flowers, Um, by the way, I don't know what you and Brede decided about flowers, Um, by the way, I don't know what you and Brede decided about flowers, but maybe you'd get a decent spray for the boy from me.
Nolan! (GUNSHOT) Ciaran! Put the gun down! Put the gun down! Ciaran.
Ciaran.
Ciaran.
Ciaran, you can help us put Nolan and the rest of them away.
Ciaran, please, you have to be brave about this.
Ciaran, please don't do this.
For Daniel's sake.
I thought he'd hit you.
Chief? We've got what we wanted.
Chief? We've got what we wanted.
McCann's all yours.
I'm on my way back to Dublin, Jack, now that this part of the operation's over.
McCann's already in custody.
Are you looking forward to returning the bullet? It helped to keep me focused.
You know, I don't think I could ever tire of that view.
But if you do feel you want a change, why don't you come up and see me in the Park? You and Maura work well together.
I might do that.
What's happening about Casey? Maura's driving him back to Dublin.
Take care, Jack.
These guards will take you to the District Headquarters, where you'll be formally charged.
D'you understand that, Ciaran? Are you sure you won't make a phone call, Ciaran? Not to Brede? No.
She has to know what happened.
You were there.
You saw.
You were there.
You saw.
Will you go to his funeral for me? Yes! Yes, of course I will.
(PHONE RINGS) I hope you're not going to say goodbye to me on the phone.
Where are you? OK, I'm coming over.
Finbarr, hold the fort, will you? He must have decided not to wait until they came looking for him.
I would have helped him.
I don't think you could have done anything.
I could have stopped him doing this.
I could have stopped him doing this.
Maura.
Look at him.
He still has his gun.
Maura.
Look at him.
He still has his gun.
I know.
I know his gun.
Casey didn't have a gun.
I saw Lynch take it off him out in the forest.
So he gave it back.
To a man who'd betrayed him? Why would he do that? What, you think Lynch wanted him to do this? All I'm saying is that when I left them, Lynch had Casey's gun.
Now it's back in Casey's hand.
Jack, I think you should leave this to me.
Look the other way again? No I can't do that, Maura.
I'm the investigating officer here.
I can't do that, Maura.
I'm the investigating officer here.
I'm going to have the Ombudsman and Internal Affairs all over this.
You want me to lie to them? No one is asking you to lie.
Let them look at the evidence.
Let them decide.
You needn't mention the gun.
It's Lynch's problem.
Let him solve it.
We can see you aren't dragged in.
This could be how it looks, suicide.
We know it's not! Everyone will assume that it is.
You know I'm right.
Jack, I don't want this to wreck things for us.
I thought there was no us.
It depends on you.

What sort of trouble? Where is this? OK, who am I talking to? Hello? Hello? Shit! Shit! Daniel! Try his mobile.
He'll be here.
Go on.
You've got his number.
No, we should wait.
It was Daniel's idea.
Give him another ten minutes.

How are you, Anna? I'm good, thank you, Garda Colvin.
That's good.
And your mother and your father? Are they good too? They are.
Thank you.
So we're all good.
And Cathal here is our host for the evening.
Is erthat what they call five card stud you're playing there? Actually, we were just leaving, Garda Colvin.
Yeah, well, I got the impression you were expecting someone else.

Eugene, what's the story? RADIO: Talks are due to resume next week.
A look at the business pages now and it's the long expected deal between Eddie McCann's Premium Holdings and a Chinese Investment Bank that's making headlines.
(DOORBELL) RADIO: If you follow the markets, you'll know that Premium Holdings is one of the Irish success stories, riding out some very rough financial conditions when other companies have been struggling.
According to Chairman Eddie McCann, the success of the company is all down to the loyalty of shareholders.
' Come in.
That's a while ago, since yourself and Jack were friends? That's right, yeah, when he was still stationed in Dublin.
I'm over here on holiday for a day or two.
I'm over here on holiday for a day or two.
I thought it would be nice - He'll be thrilled to see you.
He's not here though? He was called out last night.
I'm expecting him any minute for his breakfast.
He'll not be long.
So, you're Maura Dooley.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Maura, at last.
Will we have some money on this hole, boys? On my wages? Come on.
Wouldn't that make it more interesting? I wouldn't want to take your money, Dennis.
Not if your luck's as bad as your son's.
Liam? Did you know he's playing poker after hours at Mallon's Bar? And losing, too, by the sound of it.
How much this time? You'd have to ask him.
But you'd think these kids were made of money, the way they carry on these days.
What can you do? They need a car, living in a place like this.
They have to be fed and clothed.
Anyway he'll be wasting his own money before too long.
I told him, 'If you think I'm tough on you, wait till you get your own boss.
' Good man.
Speaking of bosses, I saw yours last night out near the beach.
Is that right? Yeah.
I was dropping a friend off, you know, and he came driving along, his lights flashing and blazing.
Nearly had me off the road.
Yeah, there was a fatality, I think.
Someone drowned.
Do you know who? No.
Probably some foreigner off one of those Spanish factory ships, stealing all our bloody fish.
That'll be it.
stealing all our bloody fish.
That'll be it.
Well, it's not supposed to happen, as you know, taking over from your father.
A few strings had to be pulled there.
But Gerry was proud of him, and so was I - having a husband and a son that people would look up to.
He's a good looking man, too.
The whole set of him, the way he walks - it's Gerry every time Jack comes into the room.
it's Gerry every time Jack comes into the room.
It's been a great loss to you.
He was no age, you know.
And fit as a fiddle.
You're lucky you still have Jack.
I still have Jack.
You don't have any children yourself, Maura, no? No.
Fortunately.
I mean, now I'm divorced, I'm glad we didn't.
And you've left your job in the guards? That's a shame.
Was that for the same reason? My husband was in another part of the city.
It's a small world.
I'd have forever been running into him.
And your friend? And your friend? The one you're over here with? He's just a friend.
Hello? I'm in the kitchen.
God Almighty, where've you been? These are soaking wet.
God Almighty, where've you been? These are soaking wet.
You know Brede and Ciaran O'Malley's son, Daniel? He's drowned.
Dear God, no.
How? I wish I knew.
How? I wish I knew.
They'll be in pieces, the pair of them.
She worships that boy.
I could see that.
You might have been drowned yourself going in to the water like that, taking those risks.
Well, it made no difference Well, it made no difference in the end - I couldn't save him.
Hello, Jack.
Maura.
Maura.
I'm sorry, this is a really bad- No, no, you're grand.
I just wasn't expecting you.
It's great to see you.
It's great to see you.
I'm afraid I've been boring her with old photos and stories.
Not at all.
Jack never showed me any pictures.
But, like I said, this is But, like I said, this is a really bad time.
No, stay.
I'm sure Maura can make herself at home.
Look, I have a meeting that I have to get to.
You have a shower or a bath.
Make sure he has something to eat.
I'll try.
You should have that shower.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll do that.
You've put on a bit of weight.
It shows, then? Just a little bit.
Just round here.
Give me the towel.
Come on.
You'd think we'd be fit, living in the country.
Nobody walks anywhere.
You're probably fitter living in the city.
Do you miss being in Dublin? Sometimes.
Your mother told me to make you something to eat.
Then you'd better do it.
Well, she said they were just friends but you only have to see them together to know they were more than that.
Thanks, Cathal.
The one that's come really good for us is Premium Holdings.
It's all over the news this morning, so we have a great chance there as long as we hold our nerve.
Look at the figures from that last quarter there.
Look at the figures from that last quarter there.
It's only a mug's game, Mrs Driscoll.
Shares go down as well as up.
It's only gambling in the end.
I know you have to have a bit of luck but you must study the form to make money in stocks and shares.
Think you're better off doing the lottery or something.
At our age? Is that what you were going to say? Have you played poker? Poker.
Would you listen to him? Have you played poker? Poker.
Would you listen to him? Why would I want to do that? You have the face for it, Mrs Driscoll.
(LAUGHS) I can imagine sort of riff raff you get involved with in a game like that.
No.
They're a decent bunch.
Liam Nolan - do you know him? His father's a solicitor.
A solicitor? That'll make all the difference (!) And Daniel O'Malley.
He's a good lad.
What, do you know him? No-one's told you? Daniel's dead.
He was drowned last night.
Where? In the bay out there.
Jack went in after him, but it was no use.
When he got him out of the water, he was gone.
So, you're a free woman again.
I am.
I chucked his ring into the Liffey.
Well, that's what he threatened to do to me when he found out about you.
You should never have married him.
No.
No.
Punching him wasn't too clever either.
No, but it felt good.
No, but it felt good.
I'm surprised I hadn't heard that you'd left the guards.
I'm surprised I hadn't heard that you'd left the guards.
What are you up to now? Just temporary stuff.
Bits and pieces.
You know, nothing permanent.
You should have called me.
I'd already messed up your life once.
Who's this 'friend' you're on holidays with? It's just someone I work with.
Your mother mentioned you met someone.
A doctor? Maggie.
Attractive? Sexy? Yeah.
Sexier than me? She went back to England.
It's beautiful here, but it's not an easy place to settle.
It's beautiful here, but it's not an easy place to settle.
But many are tempted? Not many make it past the winter.
Where are you staying? Somewhere Michael booked.
He kind of knows the area.
So, tell me about this young lad who drowned.
Daniel O'Malley? He's local.
Father has a fishing boat.
They're decent people.
Hard working.
How did he come to be in the sea? Oh, God knows.
He told his parents he was going out to play poker and the next thing they know, I'm standing at the door telling them he's been drowned.
So, what is it, then, a gambling debt? Or suicide? The poker, you mean? Still thinking like a detective.
It's a hard habit to break.
It's possible, I suppose.
And what about witnesses? Well, the woman who rang me must have seen something but she didn't leave a name.
Still, it's a small community.
Not much stays hidden for long.
Not if you know who to ask.
Thank god you're OK.
It's tough out here.
It's different.
Lonely? Are you going to be around long enough for me to buy you a drink? That's if your friend doesn't mind.
Do you still have my number? It's in the memory there somewhere.
Then give me a call.
Eugene.
How are you? Finbarr.
How are you? So, you've lost a boat, have you? Aye, the small dory.
So, you've lost a boat, have you? Aye, the small dory.
It was tied up when we left it last night.
And could it have broken loose and drifted off? No.
It wasn't in the water.
It was up here by the sheds.
The outboard's gone as well.
So, stolen, then, yeah? Well, that's the way it looks to me.
Ciaran not about yet? No, he has his phone switched off.
That's why I thought I'd better get on to you.
Right.
Jack.
Where were you in the middle of last night? Well, I noticed there were lights on in Mallon's so I dropped in to have a look.
Which would be why you couldn't answer your mobile, I suppose? Did the poker players tell you Daniel O'Malley was supposed to be in there? They were expecting someone.
I didn't know it was Daniel.
Why? It was Daniel who drowned last night.
So it would have been his hand you were playing, if you'd been playing.
Daniel O'Malley? Good God.
Was there much money involved? No.
Pocket money that's all.
Poor kid.
I remember him helping around the pier during the summer holidays.
Yeah.
17 years old.
Well, that explains one thing anyhow.
You know Eugene - he works for Ciaran? He phoned me this morning to say the little dory they have - the one that they use as a tender - disappeared last night.
He must have been fishing.
At night? No lifejacket? A lot of fishermen don't like wearing life jackets.
Daniel wasn't a fisherman.
His mother said they couldn't get him interested in it, so he's hardly likely to be out hauling nets in the middle of the night, is he? God knows what's running around in these kids' heads.
It's like talking with aliens with them most of the time.
I passed Dennis Nolan on my way out there.
I know you did.
I've just played a round with him.
And he mentioned seeing me? I've just played a round with him.
And he mentioned seeing me? Oh, yeah.
(LAUGHS) Oh, yeah.
(LAUGHS) Said you nearly had him off the road.
Keen to tell me he was dropping a friend home.
Wanted to know what was the hurry with you.
Is this a regular round you have with Nolan? You must be joking.
I can't abide the man.
That's why it was a pleasure to take 50 euros off him for one hole.
Shame we can't get a result in court like that now and again, huh? Did you get that message about the cottage? Skerig.
Yeah.
I'm onto it now.
I'll catch you later.
I'll catch you later.
Right-o.
This better be quick, Sergeant.
I've another case due on.
Last night, I passed you near the beach.
You did.
You nearly had me in the ditch.
Can you tell me what you were doing out there? Didn't Finbarr tell you? I was dropping a friend off home.
He'd had a few glasses and I didn't want him taking any risks by driving.
I see the consequences of that in here every day.
Did you notice any activity out there? Lights on the beach? Anything like that? You know, I must have been You know, I must have been on autopilot.
I'm assuming all these questions are in connection with the young man who drowned? Daniel O'Malley.
His father has a fishing boat.
I think my son knew him.
Mr Nolan? Here you go.
Was it a fishing accident? I expect it was something like that.
I expect it was something like that.
Tragic.
You wouldn't happen to have the name of that friend of yours handy, would you? He's a client, Sergeant.
But he would be able to verify that you were driving him home? If you had good reason to ask him to.
Everyone just turned up.
We didn't know what else to do.
It was Sergeant Driscoll here who went in after Daniel.
You all knew him.
What sort of mood had he been in lately? Normal, happy.
Always nice to everyone.
He'd been quite moody though.
Not to me.
A bit low.
Depressed? Well, quieter than usual.
You think he might have killed himself? I'm just trying to get a sense of what was going on in his life.
Did he have a girlfriend? Were they getting on? No-one special.
But Daniel wouldn't do something like this.
It wasn't in his nature.
It wasn't in his nature.
He had a big row with his dad.
When? A few weeks back.
What was that about? A few weeks back.
What was that about? They weren't getting on.
But sure, that's normal, isn't it? Thanks.
Jack Driscoll.
Garda Sergeant Driscoll.
Michael Casey.
WOMAN: Who is it? You've met Maura.
What can we do for you, Sergeant? Can I come in? Sure.
We're a bit disorganised, but come in.
That's a great view.
It's a grand spot, isn't it? You're enjoying your holiday? Very much.
Maura told you what happened? Yeah.
I can't believe someone was drowning while we were asleep.
You didn't hear anything? See anything? Lights on the beach? You know, we can't seem to stay awake here, can we? It must be the sea air.
You didn't hear any vehicles? Not a sound.
We knew nothing about this - well, not till you told Maura.
It's just that I got a call to say that someone was in trouble.
A woman's voice.
She wouldn't leave her name.
Right.
What do you do, Michael? I work with Maura.
Sales.
It's pretty boring sort of shite but we have a laugh, don't we? You're interested in birdwatching? I'm getting into it.
Cormorants and stuff.
Obviously, if we do hear anything, we'll call you.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Maura has my number.
I suppose this happens out here quite a lot? Get pissed, go for a midnight swim, find yourself out of your depth.
Usually it's only the visitors who do that.
Locals tend to know where it's safe.
Don't forget that drink, Maura.
No.
What? The point of going to see him was to find out whether he was going to cause us a problem here.
Yeah, which is what I did.
You also seem to have given him the impression that you're available for a cosy bloody reunion.
And maybe some extras.
Meaning? Oh, you didn't see his tongue hanging out? I went to see him.
I tried to find out how much he knew.
This whole thing is about to go arse upwards! You tell me you know the local guard.
I say, 'Fine, let's use that.
Find out how he's going to handle this.
' I didn't say give him the impression you were up for a shag! Jack.
Jack! What are you going to do? When did all this undercover shite start? Were you at it when we were together? It's my job.
No, I wasn't 'at it' when we were together.
I was recruited after I got divorced.
You shouldn't have dragged my mother into this.
What could I do? I couldn't just turn up at the station.
You used her.
It's not fair.
You've given her the wrong impression.
Jack? Yeah, yeah, right.
Erthat'll be 50 euros the round trip.
Grand.
See you there.
Bye-bye.
Jack Driscoll? Garda Colvin.
Can I help you? Chief Superintendent Lynch.
It's Jack Driscoll I'm after.
Right, sir.
Well, Sergeant Driscoll will be back here any minute now.
Right, sir.
Well, Sergeant Driscoll will be back here any minute now.
I tell you what, why don't you make yourself comfortable.
Because, you see, like, I'm a bit tied up right at the minute and I have to - I can see you're a busy man, Garda Colvin.
You get on with whatever it is you have to do.
Right.
Good luck.
We could get some real work done if it wasn't for all this shite.
Isn't that right, Sergeant? Isn't that right, Sergeant? Chief Superintendent Lynch.
Organised Crime Unit.
If it's any consolation, the pile on my desk is twice what you have here.
So you have a drowned man on your hands.
That's right.
And is it true that you went into the sea after him? At night? At this time of year? At night? At this time of year? It's not something you stop to think about.
Oh, I don't know about that.
That's the kind of thing they hand out medals for.
Well, I lost him so it I made no difference.
Yeah.
Very sad.
But you can look yourself in the eye and say you tried.
You were tested you came through.
Have you filed your report yet, Sergeant? Not yet.
It shouldn't take you long.
Paperwork on a straightforward accident like that - simple stuff compared to all of this shite.
I'm not at all sure about what happened yet.
It might be an accident.
I don't know.
Oh.
It's perfectly clear to me, Jack.
I think you'll find that what happened here was an accident, at least until my people have finished their work.
Your people? Detective Sergeant Casey and Detective Garda Dooley are two of the best officers in my unit.
Now I'm sure I don't have to remind you of the protocol involved when an officer stumbles across an undercover operation.
I know how it's supposed to work.
Of course you do.
You're an experienced man.
Now what Casey and Dooley are doing here is very important to me.
It's very important to the state.
And I cannot, and I will not, allow anything to compromise that operation.
That might be easier if I knew what the operation was.
I've told you all you need to know.
Oh, your partner - the one with the taxi.
He doesn't know about your people.
Local paper? No.
Radio? No.
Good.
That's the way I want to keep it.
Well, would you look at that? I'd like to have your drive to work in the morning, Jack.
Gerry Driscoll? Remind me.
He was my father.
Of course he was.
I bumped into him once in Templemore.
I think he might have been doing his sergeant exams.
The early nineties? That would be it.
You could never tell what that man was thinking.
Of course it would have been different for you, being his son.
I'm sure he would have talked - He never spoke about work.
He was a very discreet man when it came to the job.
And that's what I want you to be, Jack.
There's no need for you to have anything to do with my people.
As far as you're concerned, they're a young couple enjoying a quiet break.
But if you do happen to bump into them again, a little bit of your father's discretion wouldn't go amiss.
And it's Garda Colvin's wife's, taxi not his.
Oh, I don't worry about that, Jack.
I knew a Guard once who ran a funeral parlour from the barracks.
Can you believe it? You're the boss.
You're the sheriff.
Be safe, be well.
Did you ever learn any German, I wonder.
No.
'Pochen' - It's a German word, I believe.
That's where we get the word 'poker' from.
Pochen, poker, bluff.
Is that right? Were you and Daniel close? We were at the National School together.
Is this the first time you've ever lost someone? Someone my own age.
Last week he was in here banging on about this terrible argument he'd had with his dad.
I told him to get on with it.
And now you wish you'd been a bit more sympathetic? Yeah, something like that.
You already know how to play, don't you? You already know how to play, don't you? Liam.
Where've you been? In was out on the beach where Daniel died.
Yeah, it's tough when something like this happens.
I know that.
Did you hear any more? No.
No.
He was supposed to be with us at Mallon's.
He was out in a boat.
He was out in a boat.
Nobody can understand it.
Look Liam, if you had any troubles, you would talk to me, wouldn't you? Yeah, of course.
Here.
Dad - Here.
Dad - Ah, go on.
Take this.
It'll cover what you lost last night.
Don't waste it.
Thanks.
The pockets were full of sand.
I don't know what it's done to my machine.
You didn't have to do all that.
I could have ironed them myself.
Like that one you've on, you mean? It's a pity you didn't bring Maura over to meet your dad when he was still alive.
They'd have got on well.
He was always a hit with the ladies.
She's a lovely looking woman.
And she's a mind of her own, as do I.
Here.
Big box of his stuff down at the station.
And he'd have you to think he wasn't a sentimental man.
Did he ever mention him? Lynch? Your father was always one Lynch? Your father was always one for keeping up with who was in and who was out at the Phoenix Park.
But he's one you would remember.
Bit of a crusader.
He's done well for himself, hasn't he? Chief Superintendent.
What did dad say about him? The worst thing your father could say about someone was that he had no sense of humour.
But your man here must be good to get where he is.
How do you know him? to get where he is.
How do you know him? His name came up.
Have you any news of Daniel? No.
I'm just on my way to the hospital now to pick up the autopsy report.
I'll see you later.
I'm sorry.
The last thing I wanted was to bring you out here.
I'm sorry.
The last thing I wanted was to bring you out here.
I didn't want to have to come here, Michael.
I thought this operation was in safe hands.
I thought I could concentrate on the Dublin end of things and leave this side to you.
We couldn't have planned on the kid going in the water.
hat came out of nowhere.
Did you speak to this culchie guard yet? I told him that, until you've finished your work here, what he has on his hands is a straightforward accident.
Did you tell him what we're doing? No.
He knows who you are but not what you're doing.
Is he happy with that? With Driscoll's record, he's lucky to have a job.
He'd be a fool to risk his career.
He'd be a lot easier to handle if he hadn't been mixed up with Maura way back.
That emotional business - that really complicates things.
Dooley has good instincts.
She can handle it.
I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better just to pull out now.
Are you serious? Yeah.
Rather than have the thing go off half-cocked.
Michael, this operation means a lot to me.
And to me.
And this is your chance to prove it.
This is your chance to make your mark.
As you well know, we don't have a great record with this target.
More coffee? Excuse me? More coffee? No.
Thank you.
No.
Thank you.
The idea was to keep it simple, small, low key.
Get in, get the evidence, get out.
Now I chose you, Michael, above all the others.
I chose you.
We have to deliver.
We have to deliver.
You have to deliver.
Now this operation goes ahead in spite of your drowned man.
Yeah? Now this operation goes ahead in spite of your drowned man.
Yeah? Any sign of alcohol? No.
Drugs? Nothing.
Nothing at all.
OK, thanks.
Actually, I thought I might drop his personal effects and clothes back to his parents.
Sure.
I'll ask one of the nurses.
Great.
Thank you.
I had to pick up some paperwork at the hospital.
They asked me to drop this off.
Some of Daniel's things.
Saw you in town.
I was on my way out to the boat.
Sorry, Brede.
There's nothing yet.
It might be useful for me to have a look at his room.
Would that be OK? It might be useful for me to have a look at his room.
Would that be OK? Will you bring the guard up and show him Daniel's room? Tell me about the argument.
What argument? The argument you had with Daniel.
What was that about? There was no argument.
The same as any other family.
About his future, what he was going to do with his life.
What was he going to do? Anything but go to sea.
I can't blame him, really.
The business is finished.
He was playing a lot of poker.
Not a lot.
Just with his friends.
For money? No, no.
What about online? I told you before.
It was just a bit of fun.
It's an easy way to lose a lot of money.
Easy to let things get out of control.
You think maybe he was in debt? Lads his age can find it difficult to talk to their families, bottle it up.
Are you suggesting he did this on purpose? No.
I don't think it was deliberate.
I think Daniel went into the water I think Daniel went into the water by accident.
I want to find out what he was doing out there in the first place.
I want to find out what he was doing out there in the first place.
Was he involved in drugs in any way? Good God, no! He was never interested in anything like that in his life.
Eugene reported your dory missing first thing this morning.
Had Daniel taken it out before? BREDE: The dory? What would he be doing out in the dark in that little thing? CIARAN: Nobody knows what happened.
The boat was gone but nobody knows what it was he was doing out there.
Now you're asking me about his poker playing, drugs and God knows what.
Drugs? That's not Daniel.
And the poker, that's just a hobby with them all nowadays.
I have to ask.
I know you do.
It's true, you do hear about young people, all this pressure on them, and the parents only find out when it's too late.
What are you saying? I'm saying you hear it, that's all.
Good God, man! If my son was thinking of taking his life I'd know about it.
I loved him.
He was my own blood.
I would have known if he was in trouble.
I don't understand what all these questions are for.
I'm sorry, Brede.
I'm trying to find out what happened to your son.
Let's get back to Denis Nolan.
Do you have anything to do with him? I know him.
He loaned me money.
What? Couple of thousand.
Five thousand.
Five thousand euro? And I paid him back.
It was purely a business arrangement.
A small loan.
What on earth were you doing taking money from a man like that? Nolan doesn't do favours! He doesn't do anything for nothing! What has all this got to do with my son and Dennis Nolan? Nothing.
It has nothing to do with the man.
The guard is asking you a question, Ciaran.
Why is he asking? What's he suggesting? I'm suggesting nothing, Mrs O'Malley.
I'm just asking questions.
Where is he? Talk to me.
I want Casey.
I want some answers.
Be reasonable.
Lynch told you - Why don't you come down and tell Daniel's mother why her son died? She needs some answers.
And I can't give them to her.
You know what I'm doing here.
No, I don't.
You won't tell me.
You know I can't talk about it.
You didn't have to lie to me.
Do you think I enjoyed that? It's a possibility, isn't it? Given your record.
Jack, grow up.
This isn't about us.
There is no us.
This is about work.
Leave me alone before you blow the whole thing open.
Leave me alone before you blow the whole thing open.
What exactly is your relationship with Ciaran O'Malley? You're behaving like a fool.
I have Daniel out there in Ciaran's boat alone, and nobody can tell me why.
and nobody can tell me why.
I also have a local man, a solicitor with a dodgy reputation, down near the beach at the same time.
Now, I think Daniel was trying to get ashore when he went into the water.
Now, I think Daniel was trying to get ashore when he went into the water.
He had no car there, so he must have been meeting someone.
You're putting all of us in danger by coming here - including, if you knew it, Ciaran and his wife including, if you knew it, Ciaran and his wife No, YOU did that when you rang me to say that someone was in trouble.
You were shit scared and you didn't know what to do, so you called me.
Now I didn't ask to be dragged into this.
Now I didn't ask to be dragged into this.
Now I have been, the least you can do is tell me what the fuck is going on.
OK.
Let's try Casey.
Why don't you stop and think before you make a serious mistake? You both watched the beach the night Daniel died.
Why? What did I tell you? This is why they sent him out here.
This is why it was a bad idea to see him.
How long have you been in this job? Don't treat me like a fool.
I'm sick of lying to decent people.
Don't treat me like a fool.
I'm sick of lying to decent people.
Is that so? And would that be because you have scruples? Because you've got a duty to perform? You know what? Fuck your scruples.
Fuck your duty.
This is a major investigation into - Into what? Go on.
A 17-year-old boy is lying on a slab because of what you're doing here.
Now I find out his father's involved somehow as well.
I don't care about your operation.
I don't give a fuck how major it is.
I think you deliberately placed him and his family at risk.
Now do you expect me to sit here and do nothing while you shit on my doorstep and expect me to clear it up? One way or another, Casey, I'm having some answers.
You're having nothing! Stick to handing out parking tickets to tourists.
Be reasonable.
There was Be reasonable.
There was nothing we could do for Daniel.
Sorry.
That is the truth, believe me.
Ask him why he didn't go after him.
Jack, please This is to do with drugs, isn't it? Daniel O'Malley was mixed up in it somehow.
Leave it alone.
One death is enough.
Go home to your mother and leave this to people trained to handle it.
OK.
Let's try a different approach.
Driscoll - look, I know what your problem is.
I know what it's about.
But if you - Michael Casey, I'm arresting you Jack! (SPITS) Assault on an officer will do nicely.
Jack, wait.
Jack, please listen! You're not obliged to say anything, but anything you do say Can you believe this? .
.
may be used Jack, you're behaving like an idiot! .
.
in evidence.
If I find your friend here sent a 17-year-old to his death, I swear to God I'll bury him.
Now move! BRAKES SQUEAL You what? This guy is starting to get on my nerves.
OK, I'm onto it.
Fuck! Sit.
Garda Colvin, This is Mr Michael Casey, Sit.
Garda Colvin, This is Mr Michael Casey, all the way from Dublin.
I'm bringing him in for resisting arrest I'm bringing him in for resisting arrest and assaulting a guard.
Oh.
Is that right? What do you two farmers think you're going to do to me in this shithole? This is a joke! YOU'RE a joke.
All the way from Dublin and assaulting a guard? That's not a joke in my book.
Neither is reckless endangerment, the next charge I'm looking at.
You think this is going to impress her? Oh, yeah.
Mr Casey.
You'll be the gentleman staying in the little cottage? This isn't the behaviour we expect from people enjoying a quiet holiday.
Mr Casey's being a bit vague about exactly what he's doing here.
I'm hoping he can shed some light on Daniel O'Malley's death.
Keep hoping.
Let's get some particulars, shall we? Right-oh.
Ah, this can take a bit of time, Mr Casey.
Since you're making it up as you go? (LAUGHS) No, no.
I mean with all the forms and bureaucracy and that sort of thing.
Would you like tea or coffee while we go through the process? Enjoy it while you can.
Right.
That's a no, is it? I'd better take a note of that.
'Prisoner refused refreshments.
' Would you empty your pockets, please? Let's assume you're serious.
We both know you can't charge me here.
I didn't know that.
Did you know that, Jack? I think you'll find we do things differently here in the wild west.
I think you'll find we do things differently here in the wild west.
Your pockets.
Let's see if we can get some details about Mr Casey from that lot.
If my operation goes down the Swanee because of your ego Can I speak to you outside, sergeant? You've got the wrong man there, sergeant.
I have a man who assaulted me, and may have endangered the life of someone barely out of school.
and may have endangered the life of someone barely out of school.
I don't care who you are or what you're doing.
It's not something I can ignore.
Maura, would you come to the station straight away? Thanks.
Now, I thought I'd made myself perfectly clear last time we spoke.
There's a bigger picture here, and you're not seeing it.
Maybe if you told me what it was.
Did I get you wrong, Jack? If you assumed I was my father then, yes, I believe you did.
Now, you're a determined man and I respect that.
So stop treating me like a fool.
I've been involved in the internal politics of this job before, and I didn't like it.
Get in the car.
Is it true you can even send e-mails on these? That's still my property.
Would you mind not fucking around with it? Ha, ha! Would you believe we don't even have a computer? Half the time the powers that be don't even know what we're up to.
THUNDER CRACKS I'm going to tell you something I don't tell many people.
I was out near the border in '79 in a one-on-one station like yours.
I was out near the border in '79 in a one-on-one station like yours.
My sergeant was a great man.
He was a great country copper.
One spring morning he walked into a post office, and a terrorist gunman shot him dead.
That's one of five bullets they dug out of his body.
That's one of five bullets they dug out of his body.
You can imagine what five of those would do to you.
That gunman was never caught, though we knew who he was.
And these days he's hardly off the front pages.
International businessman.
Public benefactor.
He's a man with a violent past, but he has one great talent.
He's a man with a violent past, but he has one great talent.
He can stop certain people from rocking the political boat.
D'you follow me? No one wants to ask awkward questions about Eddie McCann or where his money comes from, just as long as his old friends stay quiet.
Now, men like us, we might wonder why we should be ignoring them Now, men like us, we might wonder why we should be ignoring them just because it's politically expedient.
But we're only a couple of guards, aren't we, Jack? What do we know? Well, I'll tell you what I know.
Last year alone, Eddie McCann was behind the importation of E50 million worth of drugs into this country.
He has ten million of cocaine lying in your beautiful bay as we speak.
Now, we've known for some time he's a major player in the drugs trade, Now, we've known for some time he's a major player in the drugs trade, but we've never been able to bring a successful case against him.
I've had two operations against him fall at the last fence.
Nolan's the last piece Nolan's the last piece in the jigsaw.
He's the link between the drugs in your bay and McCann.
Well, plenty of people are wondering how a country solicitor like Nolan got to do quite so well for himself.
Well, now you know.
Our job is to catch Nolan with his hands on the drugs.
Isn't this what you signed up for? Wouldn't nailing a man like McCann make all the shite, the bloody paperwork, worthwhile? But surely Nolan won't risk anything now he knows I'm sniffing around.
And that's why you have to stop sniffing around and let Michael Casey get on with his job.
Now, as you point out, they're unlikely to risk bringing it in to the same spot now Daniel's dead and you're investigating his death.
But without Daniel, Casey is going to have to go to his father and make a new arrangement.
So Daniel was Casey's tout, not Ciaran? I couldn't tell you before.
I couldn't take the chance.
The more people who know, the bigger the risk of a leak.
That bullet's been in my pocket for nearly 30 years, and I would dearly like to give it back to Mr McCann.
I'm close, Jack.
Oh, I'm that close.
I'm close, Jack.
Oh, I'm that close.
Finbarr? Release Detective Sergeant Casey.
Finbarr? Release Detective Sergeant Casey.
Yeah.
That's right.
So what happens to Ciaran O'Malley? He's a drug trafficker.
Do you care? I care about his family.
He's not the only one at risk.
Ciaran O'Malley dragged his son into this.
He's two mortgages - a house and a boat.
There's Spanish trawlers there hoovering up everything with fins while his government, the government who's in bed with Eddie McCann, tells him he can't fish nine months of the year because of EU quotas.
So he goes to Nolan and borrows a few thousand.
Nolan asks for a small favour in return.
But it doesn't stop there, because with McCann and Nolan it never stops.
Once they've found a safe way in, they'll keep coming back.
Now, as I say, Jack, you can understand, you can sympathise, Now, as I say, Jack, you can understand, you can sympathise, but you also have to judge.
You have any problems, give me a shout before you do anything.
You have any problems, give me a shout before you do anything.
So it's business as usual, is it? Let the professionals get on with their job? Let the professionals get on with their job? Leave it to the experts, turn a blind eye - whichever you prefer.
What did you make of Casey? What did you make of Casey? Did you see the watch on him? And all those fancy little gadgets? Nobody could blame you for wanting a bit if it's on offer.
But these guys aren't like you and me, Jack.
There's no honour where these guys are concerned.
There's no honour where these guys are concerned.
Everyone is expendable.
They should never have involved a kid like Daniel.
And leaving him to drown in the middle of the bloody night like that? If Casey was any sort of man, he would have gone in there after him.
And if he's supposed to be the boss, why did he let her call me? Why didn't he ring me himself? Mm.
I tell you what.
He called someone in the middle of the night.
That is his last number redial.
He thought I was playing Submarines or something, but I thought it would be no harm to check his calls while he was here.
That must be Lynch.
Have you got his number? That's not it.
Well, d'you want me to give it a go? Well, d'you want me to give it a go? No.
No, hold on.
Thanks.
Right.
(PHONE RINGS) Jack? Are you all right? I don't think that's a very good idea.
OK, just give me a minute.
I'll think of an excuse.
RADIO: 'This deal we're hearing about with Eddie McCann's Premium Holdings and Chinese Investment Bank?' 'Yeah, I spoke to Eddie McCann yesterday, 'Yeah, I spoke to Eddie McCann yesterday, and it's very much in line with his long-term strategy for the company.
' 'And yet he's made a name for himself by ploughing a large part of the company profits back into Ireland.
' 'He has.
Not taking out of Ireland what he's earned in Ireland.
' 'It's something of a mantra with him.
' 'He built the company up from nothing, and you'd have to say it's paid off handsomely.
' OK, let me call you back.
OK, let me call you back.
Who was that? Lynch.
What did he want? Probably making sure I hadn't been arrested by your boyfriend again.
God, he's really got under your skin, hasn't he? I'm just fascinated, really, how you ever got involved with a gorilla like Driscoll.
Anyhow, he's finished as soon as we get out of here.
What, you're going to get even now? The man shouldn't be in a uniform.
Or his idle bloody sidekick.
I thought you were going to bed.
No.
I need to use the car.
What for? I want something in the chemist.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Are you going to see him? D'you want to come with me? So you've had the sermon? Well rehearsed, then, is it? Yeah.
That doesn't mean it's not sincere, though.
McCann should have been behind bars years ago.
And is Casey the man to put him there? He's very anxious, Jack.
He's got a lot riding on this.
And he's jealous of my relationship with you, nervous that Lynch is confiding in you.
I've worked with him before.
Look, I'm not having a go at you.
I know a little bit about the world you work in.
And I know sometimes you end up not knowing who to trust.
Do you trust Casey? I don't like him.
Does it bother you that he was using a 17-year-old as his tout? Those are the sort of calls we have to make, Jack.
Daniel was looking for a way to get his father off the hook.
Tell me exactly what happened the night he died.
Is that why you brought me here? I had to lie to Casey - Maura, it's important.
We were at the cottage, watching Daniel drag that stuff onto the boat.
On his own? He was supposed to be with his father.
The two of them together.
That is how it was supposed to work.
We couldn't make out the details, but .
.
we could see he was in trouble.
He couldn't manage it on his own.
So why didn't you do something to help him? Casey said that it was too late, we had to let it run.
And Nolan was on the beach, remember.
We couldn't just turn up.
Next thing we knew the boat was empty and Daniel was in the water.
I couldn't just stand there and watch him drown.
I couldn't just stand there and watch him drown.
But Casey could? Did he do anything at all? He called Lynch.
How do you know? He told me.
Lynch brought Casey into the squad.
He gave him all his breaks.
They're like father and son.
Lynch told me you'd had a few cases go down at the last hurdle.
Yeah, because it's always touch and go with operations like this.
Look, you can catch the street dealers, the lowlifes and runners, but with people like McCann and Nolan, it's something else.
One suspicion, they're gone.
So you have to let things run.
As someone drowns in front of you? Sometimes, yes.
OK.
But the fact is, Casey doesn't have a great track record, does he? OK.
But the fact is, Casey doesn't have a great track record, does he? That's why this is so important to him.
This is a list of recently dialled calls from Casey's mobile.
I know - just look.
That has to be the call Casey made that you say was to Lynch.
Now is that Lynch's number? It's not the number I use.
Do you recognise it? No.
Doesn't that make you think? Lynch told me this was being kept small-scale Lynch told me this was being kept small-scale so that there was less risk of any leaks.
But here's your man Casey ringing God knows who at just the moment when it all starts to go wrong.
So you have a suspicious number.
What are you going to do about it? That's why I wanted to talk to you.
You know Lynch.
What do you think I should do? Do you want my advice, Jack? Do you want my advice, Jack? Think very carefully before you call him.
You've a nice life here.
Another couple of days and we'll be gone.
Don't mess it up because you've taken a dislike to Casey.
Did you sleep well? Not great.
Not great.
Look, Jack.
I know I can't help you with your work Look, Jack.
I know I can't help you with your work in the way your father might have done, but I do know what this job is like.
but I do know what this job is like.
I know you do.
What I'm saying is, he had me to share it with.
So if you ever want to talk about anything at all Was he a worry to you? Ah, you know he was.
Every minute he was out there in that uniform.
Ah, you know he was.
Every minute he was out there in that uniform.
Why I thought it would be any different with you, I don't know.
But I know you'll always do the right thing.
Like Dad, you mean? I'm away for my bath.
(DIALS) RINGING TONE 'McCann.
' 'Hello?' Hello, is Jimmy there? Hello, is Jimmy there? 'Jimmy? No.
You've got the wrong number.
' Sorry.
I must have misdialled.
Can I speak to you alone? We're out here in the open, Jack.
I think that's how we should keep it.
I think that's how we should keep it.
I believe you have an informant.
Someone inside your operation.
Did you bring me all the way out here for this? You'll have to give me a bit more than that, Jack.
I think Detective Casey is passing information to your target, Eddie McCann.
What? Are you going to listen to this bollocks? I don't have hard evidence Time this man was relieved of his duties.
At the moment all I have is circumstantial evidence.
At the moment.
He has no evidence of any kind.
From the moment he wandered into this thing, the moment he caught sight of me with his old girlfriend, he's been trying to put a stick in my wheel.
That's what this is all about, him and her.
It has nothing to do with Maura.
He thinks I'm shagging her and it's driving him mad.
You think I'm shagging her? Michael.
That's enough.
She only came on to you cos I told her to.
She's laughing at you.
Michael, enough! You were told to back off.
You were told you were out of your depth! I want the operation to succeed as much as you do.
I want to see Nolan go down, and I want to see justice for Daniel O'Malley.
You mentioned evidence.
The night Daniel drowned, Casey dialled this number.
So what? Do you recognise it? It's just a phone number, Jack.
I don't know whose.
I called that number this morning.
Eddie McCann answered it.
Huh! This is crazy.
Give me your phone, Michael.
Ah, this is ridiculous.
The whole thing is in his head.
What do you know? What do you know? Nothing! The phone.
You dialled the same number again last night.
What's that about? I'm allowed to make phone calls.
I was checking something.
What? I don't have to explain to this man.
I don't have to explain myself to a failure, a useless No, you don't.
But you do to me.
But you do to me.
I told you.
I was trying to get an idea of McCann's movements.
I told you.
I was trying to get an idea of McCann's movements.
After Daniel drowned, I thought I wondered if he suspected something, so I wondered if he suspected something, so So you thought you'd give him a call? Just to check in? How many times have we been so close to nailing McCann? Hm? I thought, you know, if I could find another way, a way to make him Trust you? Exactly.
Yeah.
And then I could use that trust - Ah, Michael.
Michael.
You are clutching at straws.
No! Chief! You know me! How long have I been with you? Ah, come on, man! You know me! Have I let you down in some way, Michael? Have I? You can't catch him.
And if you do, you'll never get a conviction.
We both know that.
Was I going to be stuck with you till you retired, and still be chasing the same man? Is that what I was supposed to do with my career? I trusted you.
All your talk about the big picture! You can't see the big picture.
You're obsessed with one man.
Eddie McCann's a protected species.
No one can touch him because he's too important.
Without McCann holding things together, we all know what happens.
So you justify it to yourself? No, no.
It's what you told me.
Eddie McCann is the price we have to pay for peace in this country.
You won't catch him, because no one in this country wants him caught.
Why? Because a trial would be worse than allowing him to carry on with his drugs and his tax dodges, people-smuggling too for all I know.
He's too big and too powerful, and he knows too much.
This is your crusade, not mine.
I could have been an inspector by now.
I could have been an inspector by now.
Instead I'm stuck here, trying to sort out your stupid fucking blood feud with Eddie McCann! (RETCHES) (RETCHES) How were you going to get him off the hook this time? If Daniel hadn't drowned and we'd got our evidence on Nolan? Talk to me, Michael.
Good man.
(COUGHS) McCann can always find a Nolan.
McCann would have had Nolan killed? Give me your gun.
(SNAPS FINGERS) (SIGHS) Did Daniel tell you he was going to be alone that night? No.
If his father had been with him, none of this would have happened.
Go and wait in the car, Michael.
You were suspicious of him from the start.
I didn't trust him.
And you were right.
And you were right.
I need you to go to Ciaran O'Malley and tell him the deal is still on.
I need you to go to Ciaran O'Malley and tell him the deal is still on.
Can you do that for me? Yeah.
I'll tell Maura.
What about him? Oh, don't worry about Michael.
He'll do what he's told from now on.
Thanks, Jack.

I'm sorry for your trouble.
I truly I am.

Ciaran.
Is there somewhere we can talk? At the moment, you don't think things can get any worse.
I'm telling you now, they can get a lot worse.
You're mixed up with people who will do anything to get what they want.
They didn't care about Daniel, and they don't care about you and Brede.
You are all expendable.
Do you understand that? It's time to talk to me, Ciaran.
You want to talk to me, don't you? I have a priest down there in my own front room I have a priest down there in my own front room if I want any of that bollocks.

I know everything.

What you've been doing.
What you were trying to bring ashore.
Where.
Who was waiting for it.
Where it's going.
In fact, I know more than you do because I know who's behind it all.
I don't know what my son was doing in the water, but it was nothing to do with drugs or Listen to me! You're sitting in the room where he slept! You can smell his aftershave off the pillow! This is a house of mourning.
Leave us in peace, please! Peace? There isn't going to be any more peace.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Detectives from Dublin were onto Daniel.
Daniel was their tout.
Dates, times - they knew it all, because Daniel told them.
Dates, times - they knew it all, because Daniel told them.
And why would he do that? Why would he betray you, his own father? Because I was too scared to do it myself.
Because I was too scared to do it myself.
I wasn't man enough.
He wanted me to go to the guards.
That's what the argument was about.
He could see where all of this was going.
He knew I'd never get Nolan off my back.
He wanted us to be free of all of this.
He wouldn't let me go in the boat with him.
And now I know why.
I think it's time to tell Brede the truth.
Oh How can I tell her? She needs to know why her son died.
But you can't be with them all the time, can you? You have to trust them, you have to let them go.
The guard wants to talk to us.
How could you do that to my son? And the detectives that all came down from Dublin, and even you.
I know you risked your life for him, but he was only a boy, and you all used him, even his own father.
Brede No.
Don't try to explain.
Nolan came to me and he offered me money.
I don't want to know why.
I don't care why.
We were going to lose everything we had.
God, and we did.
My boy.
My lovely, lovely boy.
Our boy.
No! Brede.
I'm sorry but this isn't over.
The cocaine that Ciaran brought in is still out there in the bay.
These men are waiting for him to hand it over.
Well, why don't you go out and catch them? Why don't you go out and catch them! They have a fortune tied up in this, and they're not going to risk it because your son is dead.
So we're all trapped in this? Yes.
Whether we like it or not? Yes, you are.
They know everything about us.
Oh, God.
So we're all in danger? They know everything about us.
Oh, God.
So we're all in danger? They know everything about us.
Oh, God.
So we're all in danger? If Ciaran doesn't keep his part of the bargain, you're in grave danger.
The children? Brede.
These are unbelievable sums of money we're talking about here.
These men will stop at nothing.
Is there anything I can do? Please.
Is there anything I can do? Please.
Well, you can help us catch the people behind this.
And then maybe, at the trial I can't promise anything, but I want to help you.
Senior officers want to help you.
But you have to agree to help them.
You know where the drugs are.
Why don't you just tell them and be done with it? That's not good enough, Brede.
Denis Nolan has to believe that this operation is going ahead exactly as planned, exactly as Ciaran agreed.
You have to make Nolan believe that.
We need clear evidence that ties Nolan to that cocaine.
Thank you for coming, Mr Nolan.
I'm sorry for your loss, Mrs O'Malley, I really am.
Ciaran.
I'm sorry.
Mr Nolan.
It's a sad day, sergeant.
It is.
I hear you acquitted yourself well.
It's a strange business, It's a strange business, all the same.
In the water at that hour of the night.
I'm not sure it's all that strange.
So you have some idea of what happened? Daniel was playing a lot of poker online.
It looks as if he'd run up some big debts in his father's name.
Ciaran has his own financial problems.
Surely you're not suggesting the lad took his own life? Seems the most likely explanation.
Do they know this? I've just told them.
Jesus.
You and I have some experience at dealing with bereavements, but this, wellit's a tough one.
I'm sure they'll be glad of your sympathy.
They're very vulnerable right now.
I'm sorry to be barging in again like this.
No, I said any time, and I meant it.
No, I said any time, and I meant it.
Do you have any regrets? About resigning from a good job, I mean because of well, whatever it was? I don't know.
I suppose time will tell.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude.
And you're not.
I'm poking my nose in where I've no business.
I'm poking my nose in where I've no business.
I just think it's an awful shame that a young woman like yourself, with a good job Did you work? When I met Jack's father, I was training to be a teacher.
Really? It was a very common thing, the guard and the schoolteacher.
You worked as a team.
People find that very difficult nowadays, don't they? Because they don't know how to share, is what it is.
It's all about being an individual now, isn't it? Not that that's wrong, but it makes sharing a life difficult.
I don't envy the youngsters nowadays.
Do you worry about Jack? That never goes, no matter what age they are.
I suppose I'd like to see him settled.
I suppose I'd like to see him settled.
I only ever seem to bring him bad luck.
People think Jack's like his father, but he's like me.
Once he makes a decision, he makes his own luck.
Look who's here! I'm afraid I have to go.
Did she have the photos out again? I know you think she mothers you, but actually, she'd like you off her hands.
Is that right? Mm.
What's the story with Casey? He's with the Chief.
(PHONE RINGS) Ciaran.
OK, what time? OK, what time? And you know what to do? That's right.
Just make the drop, take the money, same as always.
OK.
It's coming in tomorrow morning.
(DIALS) (DIALS) Sir? It's Jack Driscoll.
Sir? It's Jack Driscoll.
Well done Jack.
Leave it with me.
Call McCann.
Tell him the drop's on for tomorrow morning.
He was in the water.
Jack.
I thought I'd saved him.
Jack.
I thought I'd saved him.
Jack.
Shh.
Here, Jack.
What time is it? It's four.
It's not even light yet.
It's not even light yet.
Is that going to keep on happening? Yeah, I expect so, for a while.
Finbarr? We're on our way.
Just keep out of sight.
CAMERA SHUTTER WHIRRS Thank you.
What's wrong? ENGINE STARTS Come on, man, take it.
Just take it.
Um, by the way, I don't know what you and Brede decided about flowers, Um, by the way, I don't know what you and Brede decided about flowers, Um, by the way, I don't know what you and Brede decided about flowers, but maybe you'd get a decent spray for the boy from me.
Nolan! (GUNSHOT) Ciaran! Put the gun down! Put the gun down! Ciaran.
Ciaran.
Ciaran.
Ciaran, you can help us put Nolan and the rest of them away.
Ciaran, please, you have to be brave about this.
Ciaran, please don't do this.
For Daniel's sake.
I thought he'd hit you.
Chief? We've got what we wanted.
Chief? We've got what we wanted.
McCann's all yours.
I'm on my way back to Dublin, Jack, now that this part of the operation's over.
McCann's already in custody.
Are you looking forward to returning the bullet? It helped to keep me focused.
You know, I don't think I could ever tire of that view.
But if you do feel you want a change, why don't you come up and see me in the Park? You and Maura work well together.
I might do that.
What's happening about Casey? Maura's driving him back to Dublin.
Take care, Jack.
These guards will take you to the District Headquarters, where you'll be formally charged.
D'you understand that, Ciaran? Are you sure you won't make a phone call, Ciaran? Not to Brede? No.
She has to know what happened.
You were there.
You saw.
You were there.
You saw.
Will you go to his funeral for me? Yes! Yes, of course I will.
(PHONE RINGS) I hope you're not going to say goodbye to me on the phone.
Where are you? OK, I'm coming over.
Finbarr, hold the fort, will you? He must have decided not to wait until they came looking for him.
I would have helped him.
I don't think you could have done anything.
I could have stopped him doing this.
I could have stopped him doing this.
Maura.
Look at him.
He still has his gun.
Maura.
Look at him.
He still has his gun.
I know.
I know his gun.
Casey didn't have a gun.
I saw Lynch take it off him out in the forest.
So he gave it back.
To a man who'd betrayed him? Why would he do that? What, you think Lynch wanted him to do this? All I'm saying is that when I left them, Lynch had Casey's gun.
Now it's back in Casey's hand.
Jack, I think you should leave this to me.
Look the other way again? No I can't do that, Maura.
I'm the investigating officer here.
I can't do that, Maura.
I'm the investigating officer here.
I'm going to have the Ombudsman and Internal Affairs all over this.
You want me to lie to them? No one is asking you to lie.
Let them look at the evidence.
Let them decide.
You needn't mention the gun.
It's Lynch's problem.
Let him solve it.
We can see you aren't dragged in.
This could be how it looks, suicide.
We know it's not! Everyone will assume that it is.
You know I'm right.
Jack, I don't want this to wreck things for us.
I thought there was no us.
It depends on you.
