Thank you.

Yeah.

Sorry, just one more.

You hardly need me to tell you that what you're witnessing here this morning is

a human tragedy on an almost unprecedented scale.

The container was discovered in the early hours of the morning by customs

officials. Can you confirm that the number of dead has been put at 15?

The container is still being searched, Adam, but right now the death toll is at

23, I'm afraid.

We think these people are Eastern European refugees.

Most appear to have died of dehydration, heat exhaustion and suffocation.

The vessel was registered. This could backfire, Andrew, make me look like a

ghoul. Cynical exploitation of a human tragedy.

It might.

Didn't have more of them as friends than anybody.

Let's go.

There are reports of a nine -year -old girl among the survivors. Any word on

condition? Yes, the only survivor that we know of so far is a nine -year -old

girl, but I have no information on her condition other than that she was found

conscious and breathing.

I'm afraid that's everything, lads. Okay, just one more question. No, that's

everything we know is on the guard's statement.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, it is obvious to us all that we are witnessing this morning.

Good morning.

But the people in those houses were not just killed by human traffickers. They

were killed by the flawed immigration policies of this current government.

Just as sure as this government has deprived the country of economic oxygen,

they have sucked the very air out of the lungs of these poor dead people.

And who would you be holding accountable for this?

Now he's over -performing.

He's beating a metaphor to death and covering two different political issues

once. Now that's a mistake.

And what would the Guard and Press Officer suggest?

That nine -year -old girl that survived.

A picture of Miles Carrick at her bed in the morning.

Now that and tomorrow's dailies would be worth thousands of votes.

Well, something's happened to me and I'm rushing off to rehearse your appeal

speech to the Supreme Court. We fought them, Terry. The judge decided you'd lie

to us. I can't believe that.

Everyone knows Schreiber Securities were misleading their investors.

Is that what the regulation is? A license to defraud? Well, apparently

acting within the regulation.

Now, it's highly unlikely that this judgment's going to be overturned.

A two and a half million euro settlement and an apology.

Now, listen, we have to face...

When you fired me, you looked me straight in the eye. You didn't flinch.

do the same to these guys. Tell them to fuck off, because whatever apology there

is, it's not coming from me.

Oh, very courageous. Just the level of reasoning I'd expect from a man who

doesn't have to bear any of the actual expense.

A lot of people are going to lose their job because of you.

Terry, while you're riding around on your high moral horse, do you ever look

around to see the trail of shite you leave behind you?

Well,

it is obvious to us all that we are witnessing this morning human tragedy on

great scale.

Kathleen,

I'm just leaving, okay?

Okay, Mr. Norman.

Hiya, Mammy.

What do you think?

Come here.

What's wrong, Mammy?

Nothing.

Will you promise Mammy something?

Yeah. Don't ever grow up.

Okay.

I'm opening a draft. It hasn't started yet? No, sir.

Okay.

Thank you very much indeed ladies and gentlemen.

A caring Ireland in a caring Europe.

In the light of this morning's tragic events these words take on a new

resonance.

Ladies and gentlemen as I speak there are 23 dead human beings who could still

be alive.

if it were not for this current government's support for a punitively

restrictive EU immigration policy.

A caring Ireland in a caring Europe is no longer an election slogan. It is a

declaration of intent. It has become this party's promise to reawaken the

conscience not only in Ireland, but in Europe as a whole.

The people have had enough to flee economic uncertainty.

Social Democrats.

I left something very important.

Please, bring the car.

And while economic stability can be affected by political uncertainty, I'm

glad to say there is absolutely no uncertainty as to which party is going

victory in the upcoming election.

That car has been stolen. I think you already have the make and the license

number.

My concern is not for the car.

They shouldn't have dropped Jack Lynch for this game.

I think old Jack has been playing in a higher league for about four years now,

Dad. What?

There you go.

Oh, the fans of Imogema.

Is that out on video already?

Dad? Yeah?

Can you have a look at the roses for me? I think they've got green fly.

Okey -doke. I'm the man for that.

He's on 15 tablets a day, Terry.

He has trouble believing Ma died 14 years ago.

He's entitled to a drink.

Do you want him to spend his few lucid moments drunk out of what's left of his

mind? Terry, I don't have time for this. So I'm going to say this just one more

time. He needs... professional care, and he needs it now.

If you can't contribute, then find a better job, whatever.

But it's got to be done. It doesn't have to be done, and it won't be done.

Where's the insect spray?

I think it's in the kitchen, Dad.

Biggest green fly I've ever seen. When they stop eating your roses, they're

going to start eating the house.

No. I have a father who needs 24 -hour care, a useless brother, and a husband

who wants me to forgive him for shagging his 22 -year -old secretary.

How is Noel?

Give me a fucking break.

...an investigation to find out who the perpetrators of this heinous crime is

and to bring them to justice outside of government. And when, after the next

election, we are the government, we will make sure, as the government of the

country...

I thought it was only going to be a quick one with a car to deliver.

I might be back later.

Oh, what's this?

Another little present.

Thanks for the job.

Thought you might like it.

Good luck.

See you later

And

the winner

is

Where's the fucking car?

Where's the laugh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where's the fucking laugh?

You cut the shit out of that piece about assault on late night bus drivers. I

needed the space.

Portsman took out a half -page ad. What was I going to do?

Anyway,

what do you care? You're not getting paid by the ward. Why don't you just run

ads cover to cover? Screw the pretense.

Because, Terry, we're the voice of the community.

See? Since I'm over the dollar.

You catch a check at the end of the week no matter where we put the article.

Speaking of checks...

Uncle Joyrider had his head blown out last night.

Shot for joyriding.

It's a bit extreme.

He's in cops.

This is more of a druggy thing.

You're going to get me something on that.

How about a three -line obituary? Leave you some room for classification.

Terry, I'll tell you what.

You write what you like about him, okay?

Because the last time he had dead people, don't you?

Yeah.

Maybe for hours.

Gotta go.

Morning, Amy. Morning.

for some croissant. Do you want some?

I want to get that fresh.

Do you want a coffee with that?

Grand.

Lovely.

From the Northside Chronicle. Sorry for your trouble. We'd like to do a little

memorial piece on Cal.

Connor.

Connor.

Ah, sorry.

Would you happen to have a recent photo of him?

Who's that?

Reporter. Wants a photograph of Connor.

Reporter?

What newspaper are you from?

The Northside Chronicle.

Northside Chronicle?

Where are the real papers?

Why aren't they up here asking questions?

Why aren't they on the radio or on the six o 'clock news?

Answer me that.

It's an outside chronic.

Is that all my son's life is worth?

You know, Connor was nothing to you. And he lived here and up here we're all

nothing. You'd better go.

And finally, as Commissioner Geraghty has already said, while we try to

it, it's a given that others will be sent on this route and sadly may even

for their efforts.

I've been advised by the Port Authority that we cannot seal off the ports and

examine every container that enters.

The effect on the commercial life of this country would be immeasurable.

But the effect on the human life would be easy to measure, wouldn't it, Miss

Boland?

Say, six dead sisters, three dead mothers, four dead sons, a couple of

month. That's a small price to pay for not slowing down the wheels of commerce.

Thank you for that comment, Mr Corcoran. We have, in fact, wound up. There'll be

another briefing here tomorrow morning. Thank you, everybody.

Can you give me something on Kelly?

Kelly?

The joyrider that was shot.

Any previous, that kind of thing?

Kerry, for a moment there, I thought you came to do some journalism on the

biggest story in the country.

But then you're not really a member of the press anymore, are you?

Oh, you call that not the press?

It's just that the 23 dead Albanians, all they were interested in was the

interest stuff.

The little jerk he found with his crayon still clutched in his dead little hand.

Did Mr. Pritchett manage to use his mobile to text his wife his dying words?

That's investigative probing journalism.

Maybe they're smart enough not to probe for something that isn't there.

Nothing there, really.

Hey, Maureen, listen, I'm not interested in this bunch of amateurs, but let's

say I was still a member of the press.

I'd want to know the shipping transit code, the bill of lading number, the

ship's registered owner.

I'd want to know, were all these poor dead people being brought here or sent

here? Were they being imported or exported?

If the Kelly you're interested in is Connor Kelly, then I can tell you that

was a drug user and an associate of known drug dealers.

He did not have any previous convictions.

Are you not taking notes?

I thought you might give me a hard copy.

Terry, do you want me to actually write it for you? You wouldn't have a photo of

him, would you?

I missed that look.

Where was he shot?

Well, you're the hard -hitting investigative journalist. Go

Are you too busy doing penetrating advertorials for garden centres?

I'll have you know the Northside Chronicle is the voice of the community.

Really? I thought it was the last refuge of the unemployable hack.

Nina Karpreka.

Yes.

Danish.

National, originally from Albania? Yes.

Detective Quirk.

There were 24 Albanian nationals on this container. What makes you think your

sister may be one of them?

It came from Shkodra, and that's the region of Albania that I'm from, and I

my sister tried to get out illegally.

So you feel she may have been trafficked?

Yes.

There are 23 dead bodies in here.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Well, I have to find her, even if she is dead.

You ready?

Hey, you're not supposed to be in here.

It's okay.

It's nothing.

Well, at least you know she's not among the dead.

Take it.

What was the name again?

Kelly. Connor Kelly.

Twenties. Come shot one to the head and the leg. That's him.

You know, Terry, I haven't the time to be the beck and call of every reporter

that comes into the office.

That's the one thing.

I haven't got one, but... You know I can't give it to you without it.

Can't or won't?

Declan, all I want to do is have a look at it. Look, come on. Get over it,

Declan.

You've got the entire life long to get these reports.

You've got paper, John, just as well.

You know, all I want to do is have a view out...

Excuse me, you're a journalist, right? My

sister's missing.

I thought maybe... Sorry, I don't do missing persons.

Do you need this?

I'll give you 15 minutes.

So you sent your sister the money three months ago? How much?

In total, €20 ,000.

I didn't realize that she'd saved it all and was using it to get herself out of

the country illegally.

I told her it was a very bad idea, but she didn't listen to me.

She just told me to wait for her in Copenhagen, and I never heard from her

since.

So when I saw on the news that the container came from Svartra, I assumed

was on it.

And you, how did you get to Denmark?

I was on the national swimming team when I was a teenager.

We went to Copenhagen for a competition, qualifying Heath for the European

Games.

You defected. Yeah, I walked into the Danish foreign ministry and requested

asylum.

I've never met a defector before.

Now you have.

Yeah.

In those days, the hard thing was getting out of a communist country. It

almost impossible.

Getting into Europe wasn't that difficult.

Now it's the other way around.

And since the right -wing government came into Denmark, it's getting very,

hard.

So you think your sister is in Dublin?

I hope not.

My sister's 18. She's very beautiful.

If she's here, she's probably in the brothel by now.

You see, the people who do this, who fill these containers,

Prostitution is how they earn their real money.

A young woman is a very valuable commodity to them, yeah? And there are

million young women being traded around Europe.

That's a great deal of money.

They don't like publicity, and that's why I'm asking you for help. I want to

make people care that this is happening under their noses.

Look, everyone knows there's a lot of scary people out there. This is not a

story. And to be honest,

your sister was...

Gullible. Maybe even stupid.

There's a difference between honesty and brutality, Mr. Cochran.

I'm sorry, I didn't say I wouldn't help. I just don't know how I can.

I'm not the kind of journalist you think I am.

Okay.

Well, thank you for your time anyway, Mr. Cochran.

Look, if you think I can't help in any way, please, give me a call.

Ignore the impressive -sounding job title.

That was the old me.

Give me a call.

Thanks.

There's an email on the net.

Why?

Yeah.

Mr. Newman.

Hello, my name's Frank Erskine.

How did you get this number?

With the greatest of respect, Mr. Newman, my having your number is of a

importance than some other numbers that I have in my possession.

Company registration number 571880.

5 ,078 euros, 94 cents.

Just a series of numbers, really.

Until that is, you match them up with the name on the deposit account.

Would you like me to read that name to you, Mr Newman?

No, that won't be necessary.

May I ask what you want for the return of this data?

Money.

Lots of money.

You see, you're not just purchasing data here, Mr. Newman.

You're purchasing silence.

How much?

For two million euro, you get the laptop back and a guarantee that no one will

know. I'm not authorized to agree such an amount.

I'm answerable to others.

You don't have to call me back.

One hour.

And if I don't hear that I'm going to be paid, then I will release this

information.

Well, believe me, you will be paid.

The laptop has been found.

No, it's not good news I'm afraid not good at all I'm going to need your help

Are you stalking me, Detective Mitchell?

A detective from the Criminal Assets Bureau are allowed to stalk attractive

media relations officers. That's so in the handbook.

Will I come round tonight?

Mm -hm.

But I ain't.

Have I just witnessed the mountain coming to Muhammad?

Well, I can't say I'm not flattered.

I like Miles.

I really admire his policies.

I'm just intrigued you'd offer me this so close to the election.

Despite all the preparation, this is the most critical time.

In three days, Maureen, the political landscape of Ireland is going to be

changed forever.

No one, no one is in a better position than you to know exactly what's going on

in the news editors' heads.

You know that, and I know it.

The reality is they need you as much as you need them.

Well, in my current job with the Gardaí, yes.

And like I said, I really admire Miles Carrick.

I think he's the breath of fresh air this country needs to blow away the

war politics of the other parties. Which is exactly why you can be so helpful to

our efforts now.

Perception is everything.

I have a daughter to support Andrew and a big bloody mortgage.

Now, which job do you think is going to help me support both?

Maureen Boland, press officer to the Taoiseach, or Maureen Boland, press

to your man who came second?

Do you really doubt it?

My contract with the Gardaí?

That can be dealt with.

Will you let me get back to you?

Sure. But time's short, Maureen.

I'll give you a call tomorrow.

That's fine.

Thank you.

Mark, come in and wash your hands.

I was starting to pour a feeling the other day at the country.

He was asking me to do a hatchet piece on the Social Democrats' economic

policies. Really? What did you tell him?

Sorry, Porrick, I'm an investment advisor.

A highly paid propagandist for global capitalism. I couldn't possibly

Miles Carrick's monetarist policies.

It's a sticky, measly cheque up your hole.

Are you joking me? I wouldn't tell anyone to stick a cheque up their hole.

Certainly not one made payable to me.

Anyway, you're the journalist in the family.

He told me to tell you to give him a call.

Papaya and coriander with Thai duck and glass noodles.

Dad, pick up on the table.

You wouldn't have to call him twice if it was roast pork and potatoes.

And I would have cooked it if he asked me to.

He shouldn't have to ask.

Why don't you come and cook it for him then?

Delicious, love.

I'll go and get him.

You coming in?

I know what's coming, son.

It's just some fancy cook in a case. Nothing to worry about.

Oh, you know what I mean, now. You know what I mean.

Hmm?

Hmm?

I mean, I don't... I don't know who people are.

And I don't want to be a burden.

Don't worry about Kay. She's going to be fine.

I have to get you in for your dinner.

Are you coming?

Well, it's very upsetting when... You know, when you can't remember.

I know. You're grand.

You're grand.

Come on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Unless you have to ask me.

Ask you what?

Why, Andrew O 'Hara came to see me today.

I only interrogate people when I'm on duty, Maureen.

Hmm.

Where did I go on that?

He'd offered me the job as director of media relations to Miles Carrick.

Oh.

Well, try not to explode with enthusiasm, Larry.

Yeah, but you already have a job.

I wouldn't have thought politics was your territory.

Are you really telling me you think I'd be better staying with the Gardaí?

I don't know.

I'd give it some thought.

Give it some thought.

Good boy. Sit up now and eat up all that.

That's it.

Have you got any brown sauce?

Yes, you said if you could help in any other way. Did you mean that or were you

just humoring me?

No, I meant it.

Good. I'm at the canal at the Leeson Street Bridge.

Could you come and meet me?

Okay.

I'll be with you in about half an hour.

Thank you.

Lisa Street. Thanks.

So what makes you think you're going to find Anita this way?

Well, I think it's worth a try.

I know the police say that there's no evidence that she was ever here, but

container's the first lead I've had, and the girls working in those clubs,

they're from Latvia, Moldova, Albania. You know, someone might have seen her.

Maybe someone can help.

I understand if you don't fancy the whole idea.

No, I said I'd help. I will.

Hi.

I'll

get

two bottles of beer.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, just relax and enjoy.

And if you want one of our girls dance for you, you just call.

Yeah, maybe later. Thanks.

I'm not police. I'm not immigration.

This is my sister.

Don't worry.

There's more places we can go.

Tonight's not over yet.

These places might look all right, but you can't see them when you're worried.

Not touching the girls, no propositioning the girls. The entrance

euros each.

All drinks are 8 euros.

If you want a lap dance, you contact the hospital.

It is 40 euros a dance.

If you're happy with that, please pay.

I have a customer for you.

Private diamond.

Do whatever you want.

She's fresh.

And all yours.

Hey,

listen, hang on. I want to try something else, okay?

You wait here.

Hey,

excuse me.

Hiya. How about just skip the lap dancing and go straight for the, um, the

personal private encounter?

So where do you come from?

What's your name?

I'm called Steffi.

And I come from Albania.

So, what do you want?

Do you like it here, in Dublin?

Yes, everybody is very nice.

My employer is very nice, and also the people.

I like it here, cool vida.

And often I go back to visit my family in Albania.

Your English is very good.

I bet you get to give that little speech a lot.

I'll make you very relaxed.

I have not seen that girl. You have seen her. I have not seen that girl. I think

you have. No, I have not seen that girl.

Girl, I really need to know. My blood is very nice.

Her name is Danita. Have you seen her?

Is she working? I often go back to visit my family now. Have you seen her?

Will you keep... Oh, my!

Stupid. That was dangerous.

I think that's caused us a lead to your sister.

Why? What do you mean?

Look, that girl, I think she might have recognized the photograph.

Yeah? Really? I don't know.

What is this? What is this? What are we doing?

Robberies.

I'll tell you what this is.

This is names. This is owners. This is information for us and trouble for them.

Okay?

What did you tell him?

Nothing.

Upstairs.

I want you to see what happens when you become a problem.

Have a

drink.

Oh, thank you.

Sorry I shouted. Oh.

I don't know whether to scream or to cry.

I know she's there. I just know she's there.

Wait!

I want you to watch!

I don't care where it was found.

It was found. That's all I need to know.

My sister's been kept there. I know it for a fact.

Maybe you should come with me, Nina.

Kelly and Erskine.

There's a connection between them. I think I... For God's sake, Terry, you

just come here like this.

Shit. Maureen, whatever's on this disc is getting people killed.

Different companies all incorporated in a sequence. All depositing the

same figure into the same account.

You failed the bedside manner exam at medical school, didn't you? That's why

they only let you work with the fucking dead.
