Courgettes, maybe.

Subtitles Courgettes, maybe.

Courgettes? Are you
mad in the head?

Sure, they're not for autumn
planting, and they taste like muck.

Hey, with butter and
pepper, they can be...

Muck, butter or no.

No, cauliflowers,
beans, and leeks.

I do love a leek.

Oh, here's another.

Wouldn't know a row of carrots
from a Mullingar heifer.

Hey.

Did you get ahold
of the fuel filter?

I think I might have.

"Good morning to you, Mammy.
What's that you're digging?

How you doing, Mammy?"

I could be dead in me bed.

- You look well enough.
- No thanks to him.

Working me to the bone.

I don't like leeks.

Morning, Mammy.

Good morning.

Do us a favor, stop for a cuppa.

I'm knackered already.

No, I'm going out today, I hope.

Hey, a family dinner tomorrow.

And we might have
something to celebrate.

I'll keep me fingers crossed.

Is Shane coming?

Why would Shane be coming?

Oh, well, now, I dunno.

Yes, you do.

And no, my deckhand will not
be coming to dinner tomorrow.

Yeah.

It's the first grandchild.

She's excited, you know.

They've a way to go yet, Bjorn.

This way.

That you ready to roll, then?

No, she's not quite
ready for that.

You'll not be doing donuts in the
supermarket carpark Saturday night, then.

Well, it's not about speed.

Obviously.

- You savior.
- Yeah.

Where did you get it?

Well, if I told you,
you'd go direct,

then you would stop
coming to see me.

- I would not.
- Oh, yes, you would.

And then I would see much
less of your mum as well.

There would be that.

- Thank you.
- Oh, no problem.

Add one more to the tower
of pints I already owe ya.

I will.

- Slán.
- Take care.

- It's too much.
- What?

It's not right.

Ah, Jesus, you look great.

I don't wanna come across like
some neurotic corporate drone.

Look, you're just used
to home working, yeah?

Cozy jimjams and
my favorite hoodie.

I thought you said you liked the
guy at the adoption workshop.

No, I thought he was young.

He wouldn't be in the job
if he wasn't up to it.

I don't know how I feel
about spilling my entire

emotional and medical and
family history to a 10-year-old.

That's not fair 'cause he was
definitely old enough to shave.

- Aidan.
- Come here.

He's here to help

as well as assess.

Yeah? All this is is one step
closer to a family of our own.

It'll be fine. Yeah?

It'll be great.

Sometimes I could
almost believe you.

And so you should. Right.

Have to meet the manager
of this new boutique hotel.

Good start for the business
if they take our fish.

I'm gonna swing by
the unit on the way.

The ink on the
lease is barely dry.

I know, but the
tanks arrive today.

We're on our way.

- Are you gonna say it?
- What?

"You'll be back by
half three, won't you?"

I'm not your mother.

You're not my mother because that
would make the marriage a bit weird.

Aidan.

But you will be?

Yes.

Okay. Goodbye.

Subtitles

Lenny!

Lenny!

What's goin' on? I'll
batter the crap out of ya!

Ciara, man, how's it goin'?

We're goin', come on.

Goin' where?

Out. On the boat.

Get rid of whatever hussy you scraped out
of the gutter last night and let's go.

Uh... look, Ciara...

it's me arm.

I'd be no good.

How did you do that, exactly?

Right, well, yeah.

A bad wipeout.

When that wave hits, you know.

- Seriously?
- Mm.

Totally. Look.

Ah!

Why do I keep
coming back to you?

'Cause I'm wicked company,

and I do as I'm told?

Eventually.

Well, did she buy your story?

Yeah, she bought it.
Don't worry about it.

Well, I do worry
about it, Lenny.

So if that's your story,
will you just stick to it?

- Because you know what she's like.
- I know. You owe me bigtime.

Yes, I owe you one.

You owe me two.

Okay, fine, two.

Whoa!

Oh, Jesus.

I mean, you could knock.

It's not your bedroom. It
smells like it could be.

I am a grown man
with a home of me own

and an extensive
range of aftershaves.

That's what it is, so?

Is this it?

What this...

is about to become is...

Kenny Seafoods Processing Unit,

the pride of County Galway.

Keep tanks,

auto-filtered, state-of-the-art.

I just gotta hook them up.

- They are big.
- Yeah.

For you to fill with
the finest crab, lobster

and langoustine in
the North Atlantic.

Langoustine, is it?

Look, a prawn cocktail
is 7 euro a pop.

Langoustine Marie Rose...

you're talkin' 12.99 at least.

High end, yeah? That's
where we're headed.

Well, hold your breath for the friendly
weather and the fish to run, so.

Ciara, no more getting
ripped off by the processors.

We are going to be selling
directly to France,

Italy, Spain!

Your catch will be flying
off the slab at the Boqueria.

It's a lot of money to put down.

It's a lot of profit to make.

- You're going out today, right?
- Yep, I'm going out.

Maybe not today.

There's cargo out there.
You have to go out.

- What about the cigarettes?
- Lenny blew us out again.

I suppose I could try Duffy.

You didn't hear about the
ruckus at Sweeney's then?

Nah, Duffy skipped town.

I know a guy.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Who?

Just the guy who fixed
up the electrics.

It's a mate of his, gonna help
him out, cash-in-hand type thing.

Has he been on a boat before?

Well, he's got arms and he's got legs
and he's got at least one eye, so...

isn't that all you
need to work on a boat?

And what would you
know about work?

Fine.

If he loses any pots,
you're paying for them.

Oh, Mammy says dinner tomorrow.

Subtitles

- No Lenny?
- Don't ask.

Subtitles -No Lenny?
-Don't ask.

I thought today we're
supposed to go out to get...

So we are.

Just we could do
with another hand.

There's a bloke on the way.

- Aidan gave me his number.
- Aidan did?

Gives me time to fit the filter.

Here.

Bunch of flowers.

My favorite color.
And smell nice too.

Smells like a 130-horsepower
marine diesel in action.

I hope.

Aidan was all aflutter
about his new keep tanks.

Wait till you see the size.

We'll be out all weathers.

More work for me.

If you want to go working force
tens, you're on your own, buddy.

Sure, how would I
cope without you?

Uh...

No.

Wait.

Try it there now.

- You owe me 50.
- I'm not payin'.

You Kenny?

Ciara Kenny, yeah.

- Are you me hand for the day?
- I'm coming out with you.

You realize it's a day's work?

You're not dangling for mackerel
and drinking with your mates.

The sorry-looking
fella there's Shane.

It's first names on the boat.

James.

Skipper.

Let's get you fixed up.

After you.

Here.

I won't be needing those.

You'll definitely need this.

Belfast boy, is it?

Yeah. Why you askin'?

It's nice to know something about
the blokes spewing at your feet.

I won't be doing any spewin'.

Pleased to hear it.

- You a smoker?
- No.

What about your friends, family?

Yeah, some.

Why?

No reason.

We're good.

Subtitles

Uh, so you still have your final prep and
education workshop to do, is that right?

Subtitles Uh, so you still have your final prep
and education workshop to do, is that right?

Yes, we couldn't
make the last one.

There's one tomorrow, actually,
in Galway, if you could...

- Yeah, of course.
- Absolutely.

Great. Great.

Now, I know you must be sick
of the sight of forms by now,

but I am going to
have to ask you

to fill in these
personal profiles.

We're going ahead, with
your man here and all?

Ah, he'll keep his mouth shut.

Sure, who's gonna say no to a
few cartons of free cigarettes?

Not me.

Are you angling for a
bonus on top of your bonus?

We're going to make a wee stop before
we shoot the pots, all right, James?

James, give us a hand.

Ready.

Now!

Shout when you've got it!

Got it!

Take that.

Pull! Pull it to me.

Help me out here.

What the hell
are these? Ciara?

- Get the bags in.
- What's up?

- Leave it. Come on.
- These are not ours.

What are you doin'? I
said what are you doin'?

What's that?

Leave it!

It's not a bait tub
full of cigarettes.

- Looks like drugs.
- Come on, let's go!

- Help me get these bags in.
- Let me see that.

Don't touch that. I
said don't touch it!

Who the hell are you?

You shut your trap
and keep goin'.

Hey, I'm skipper!

I don't know who you are
or what you're doing,

but I'll not have
this shite on my boat!

What the fuck!

No, no, no!

Right. You're gonna
go get that bag now.

- No, no, no!
- Leave it!

That won't do.

That won't do at all.

Oh, my God.

Your faces!

Youse are so fuckin' fucked.

Any progress with
the family trees?

Well, I've done mine.

I know, it's ridiculous when
they're all there on the doorstep.

That's probably why
I keep forgetting.

Well, it doesn't only help me
understand your background,

we've found they're
a really big help

in looking at your
own family dynamic

and, most importantly,

should your application for
the child be more successful,

what is their place
in this family?

Sorry.

Okay, look.

Tell me about yourselves.

How did you meet?

I'm sorry. Um...

At Dublin.

- Dublin College.
- Mm-hmm.

And who made the first move?

- He did.
- She did.

Hello?

Drugs, Aidan. Class-A drugs!

Just give me one second.

Shh-shh-shh-shh!

Shush your fuckin' self!

What the almighty fuck
have you got us into?

What is it, coke, smack?

It's, um...

methamphetamine...

I think.

You think?

Yes, it's meth, it's meth. Okay?

Was it drugs all along?

How many times have I brought
this shit in thinking it's fine,

just a few cartons
of cigarettes?

It was just a bit extra I
needed to secure the unit.

Then another chunk of cash
when we deliver safely,

to get the fuckin' unit running.

The fuckin' unit.

- Is he one of them?
- Who?

Your man you planted on my boat!

No, he's just there to make sure the
gear gets where it's supposed to.

Well, he's going to find
it a sight harder now.

What do you mean?

- He's dead.
- What?

He's dead, and your shit is
going overboard right now.

Ciara, you can't lose a single
gram of that load, do you hear me?

Why not?

Because they'll kill me.

They will kill all of us.

What does it look like, you
on your phone all the time?

Bloody Ciara. Be
in in a minute.

- I'll be in in a minute.
- Okay.

- Ciara, listen.
- Fuck you, Aidan!

He set us up, didn't he?

What do we...?

I don't know, I don't know.

We should call it in.

That's what we should
do, we should call it in.

We should call Egan first,
before we even call 112.

Just tell him what happened.

That he slipped and he fell

and this has nothing
to do with us.

Oh, for fuck sake,
Shane, yes, it is.

No, this is Aidan's mess. Why
should we pay for that gobshite...?

He might be a gobshite,
he's still my brother.

Do you seriously think the cops will
believe we didn't know about it?

- We can't take him back in.
- It's not right.

None of it's right,
none of it's right.

He got onto the boat,
my boat, for a reason.

He took up a knife.

- He's not just the guy next-door.
- How do you know that?

He's not a good man,
is what I'm sayin'.

Every man deserves
a burial, Ciara.

Then that's what we'll give him.

Get his vest.

Get his life vest!

Subtitles

Are you ready?

We're gonna have to
take it all to the unit.

This is Aidan's mess.

Yeah, you've said. It's not the
first time I've wiped that up, Shane.

Ahoy there, Captain Kenny.

At no point has that been funny.

I see it as a mark of respect

for someone who has a certain
standing in the community,

to wit, your role as skipper.

You're not no plain
Ciara Kenny to me,

you're Captain Kenny.

Well, it's still not funny.

Sergeant Egan.

What are you after?

Evidence of misdeeds
and wrongdoing,

same old.

Shane, how are you
this fine afternoon?

Fine, yeah. Great.

I'm sorry to inform you,

but the future of the
very planet itself

is at stake.

Grey seal washed up on the
strand around the corner.

Blown up like a balloon

and wrapped in the
net that drowned it.

Wasn't me, I'm shooting pots.

Have been all week.

Give Martin Nevins a go.

He had better luck
shooting nets.

I'll come with you.

You've done enough.

Shane, I swear to
you, I had no idea.

It's okay.

All right? It's okay.

His jacket.

Oh, shit.

Of course, he drove here.

We can't leave a stranger's
car rusting in the village.

How are we gonna find it?

All right, go on.

Whose is the car?

You need to give it more snap.

- Jesus.
- You nearly broke me nose.

Do you know who you
put on the boat?

Well, is that his car? What
have you done with him?

He's 40 meters down.

Did you kill him?

No. It was an accident.

He came at us with a
knife and fell on it.

You've got to get
rid of the car.

Right, and how am I supposed
to make a car just disappear?

I don't know. You're
kingding with all the ideas.

Someone's gonna be
lookin' for him,

and they're not gonna
be dancing the jig

when they find I
rolled him into the sea

with 30 kilos of lead
tied to his ankles.

- They're gonna kill us all.
- Who are "they"?

I imagine the same people you were
stupid enough to ask for money.

I didn't ask for money, yeah?

This is a business transaction,
one that benefits both parties.

- Look, all we've gotta actually do...
- Aidan!

Oh, no. No, it's not "we"

when one of the parties has
no idea she's taking part

in one of her moron
brother's lunatic schemes.

It's like the turf-cutting

and the "Roskillane
Gin" all over,

only so, so much fucking worse!

Look, you drive the boats,
yeah, and you shoot the pots,

but it's selling the catch
that makes the actual money.

That's what you and
Dad never understood.

It's international
or it's nothing.

That doesn't have
to mean criminal.

Cash, yeah?

Cash means we can get
this place up and running.

No more struggling through
winter, praying for the weather

or scrapin' about
just to get by!

We bring the drugs in, we hand the
drugs over, we get the money. Yeah?

- It's not complicated.
- What if you can't hand them all over?

What do you mean?

We lost one of the bags.

Oh, great.

- Great.
- You should have told me.

It's fine. It's not
the end of the world.

There's got to be wastage
in every business.

Um... Maybe when we
talk to them, we...

When you.

When you talk to them.

You tell them he took
them, the guy in the boat.

He took a cut for himself
and he drove off, that's it.

All right?

All right?

Yeah.

-I can come back
with you if you like.

Not tonight.

I'll drop you home.

Thanks.

When I say get rid of
it, I mean get rid of it.

Not a trace.

Subtitles

Aidan?

Subtitles Aidan?

Hey.

- Hey.
- How long have you been up?

Oh, just popped awake.
I don't know why.

Still got so much to organize
in the unit, you know?

Yeah.

Well, you were late in, too.
It can't become a habit.

I'll be changing my share of nappies
if that's what you're worried about.

Are we doing the right thing?

What could be more right
than giving a child

a warm and wonderful,
loving home?

Can I use this
wine for the gravy?

It's a very nice wine.

Well, it will be
a very nice gravy.

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Hey, Mum.
- Hiya, love.

Ah, you might have worn
something a bit smart.

Yeah... so I have.

No, I mean smart smart.

Not Ciara smart.

Did Aidan tell you he will
have to draw a family tree?

What for?

Well, it's about the
adoption process, I guess.

We are who we are. That's
enough for any child.

I don't see why they need
to be poking their noses

into our business.

- Here we are.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- There he is.

Ahhh!

My wee man.

Goin' to be a daddy.

We still have a long way to go.

And we'll be right there with
ya every step of the way.

How you doing?

Send up a flare if
she gets too much.

"Help me!"

Can I help?

Uh, just take those
with the veg, love.

Have you spoken to them?

Did you get rid of the car?

I said I'll sort it and I will.

Just quit barkin' orders for once
in your life and let me get on.

Dinner's ready.

Now, where is everybody?
You sit down here, Adamma.

Aidan next to me, thank you.

Thanks, Bjorn.

No, thank you.

No.

- Ciara.
- Thanks, Bjorn.

You were out on the
water yesterday.

Yep.

Had a good catch?

Nothin' I'd call good.

This tastes like the one
that we tried last week.

- Does it?
- It was really nice. It was almost like...

- You all right, pet?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Well, I'd like to make a toast.

To Aidan, Adamma...

and all the family,

including, God willing,

the brand-new little
Kenny to come.

The Kennys!

- Kennys!
- The Kennys!

And Da.

Dad.

To Gerry.

To Gerry.

To Gerry.

And Bjorn.

- Hmm?
- Well, I'm not a Kenny.

Any man who shares my
bed counts as a Kenny.

Oh, so how many men are
sharing your bed, then?

- I'd like to know.
- Loads.

Oh, you devil! You devil!

You know what?

I'll get my guitar.

- No.
- You'll love it.

- Please!
- Ah, go on.

Let him sing. He
loves to sing songs.

- He'll sing one Swedish song.
- Okay.

Come on. Yeah.

- Here, cheers.
- Cheers.

It wasn't that bad.

It wasn't bad.

- It was just...
- A bit much.

Yeah, a bit.

I'm just gonna nip down Sweeney's
for a swift one with Michael.

- Do you have to?
- Yeah.

- He's just doing a job for me.
- Okay.

Yeah?

- Bye.
- Bye.

Ciara Kenny.

Do I know you?

Born March the 4th.

Pisces.

Which seems appropriate.

What are you talking
about? Who the fuck...

You're comin' with me.

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

What do you want?

Who are you?

Shut up! Shut... Shut up.

Shut up.

I've been conducting
an audit, Ciara.

It's an important
part of my business.

And I am coming up
short on two counts.

Product and manpower.

Now, regarding product,

I seem to be
missing 10 kilograms

of pharmaceutical-grade
methamphetamine.

As for manpower, well,

it's not very often that I've
mislaid an entire employee.

Frankly...

it's been hard enough

trying to find a new
route south of the border.

Bloody Brexit.

The English making a bollocks
of it for everyone else, again.

What you need to understand
is that this connection

is part of a global network.

Every link in this
complex supply chain

has to run smoothly.

It has to be secure.

It needs to be reliable.

And what we have here is
a break in that chain.

A missing link.

Now, Shane and Aidan and I have
already been discussing the matter,

but to be perfectly honest, I'm not
entirely satisfied with their answers,

so now I'm going to ask you.

Where are they?

What do you mean? Who?

Okay.

Where is my man

and where are the
rest of my drugs?

He took them.

He put them in his
car and he drove off.

That's it.

That's it.

Huh. Vicious-looking
things, these, aren't they?

No wonder the fishing
industry is so dangerous.

What are they?

They're for rope... nets.

Ah. What's their name?

They've got a cool
name, haven't they?

Marlin spike.

Marlin spike.

That's got a ring
to it, hasn't it?

Marlin spike.

Huh?

Where is my man?

And where are the
rest of my drugs?

He took them. He's
your man, you ask him.

I will.

But that still leaves me the
problem of what to do with you.

What to do with Shane.

- What to do with Aidan.
- Wait, wait, we did our part.

- We brought your drugs in.
- Not all of them.

You wanna say something?

Who's gonna bring
in the other load?

Huh? The deal was for two loads.
You need us to bring it in.

I need her.

Another load, yeah.

All right, all right.

Why should I trust you?

Well, isn't it more of a case

of us being able to
trust your employees?

I'll bring in your load.

One more run, and we're square.

But I do it myself.

I'll not have another one
of your eejits on my boat,

and I'll not take it
in through the harbor.

That's just stupid.

Hmm.

Expect my call.

Ciara, quick! Get up!

We need to get these off, we
need to get him to a hospital.

And what are we gonna say, we gonna
say he just got stabbed, are we?

It was an accident. We were
mending nets on the boat.

It happens all the
time, just an accident.

Are you all right,
Shane? Here.

Why don't we just
do them all now?

We need them to bring in
the second consignment.

- We can do that.
- Can you drive a boat?

Operate a nav unit?

Pilot a RIB?

Do you even know
what one of those is?

Splashing about in Brittas
Bay when you were 12 years old

is not the same thing...

at all.

- No, no, no.
- No, no, I won't. I won't.

It's all right.

We let them bring the gear in.

Then we kill them.
