Jack Driscoll.

Okay. I'm on the way.

Go on lads. Come on.

Jack.
Gemma.

So you're the hill walker
who called it in.

Yeah. I wanted to watch the sun
coming up on the mountain.

I got more of a light show
than I bargained for.

I'm glad it was you. You are?

Are you talking some last minute
snaps?

Yeah, we're all packed.

Your mum will be glad to
get her home back.

Come on, it's going to collapse!

Fall back lads.

It wasn't occupied, was it?
It wasn't finished.

Work stopped months ago.
Money ran out.

Did you see it at its height?
The whole horizon was ablaze.

Where were you?
Just over there.

I got some spectacular shots.
I can imagine.

The Kinsellas. They own the place.
You know them?

Since school.

Jack.

Kids, come here. We're not
staying and Jack's working.

Fiona, Cillian. This is Gemma,
my cousin's girlfriend.

I'm sorry about your property.

After all the work we'd put into it.
Thanks for the message.

You didn't see it up at the farm? I was
in the sheds most of the night. Lambing.

What did Dennis Costello
say when you told him?

Costello? Why would I tell him?
We sold it to him a few weeks back.

He got it for a song.

Cillian didn't want to sell but
it's a good thing we did.

Despite the financial loss.
You were right.

Anyway Jack, we have to get
the kids to school.

It was nice to meet you Gemma.
You too.

Are you around later if
I need a word?

You know your way.
Door's always open.

I better get down there. Sure.

Can you email me those photos?
Does that make me a witness?

I think it does. Seeya.

Chris. Jack.

How's it going? That falling beam
nearly hit one of my men.

Scenes of crime will have to wait
before they can get near.

How long has it been burning? Since
the middle of the night I'd guess.

The place is still a building site,
full of flammables.

Paint, diesel, paraffin.
Dodgy electrics?

Hadn't been connected to the grid.
Vandals?

Unless they had a key. We had to
cut the lock when we arrived.

Whoever did it meant to come here.

Someone lit this fire and
they meant to burn it down.

Sorry to miss the fireworks.

I need you to secure the area
till scenes of crime arrive.

What's our opening bid on it then?

Chris thinks arson.
An insurance job?

Had you heard Dennis Costello
recently bought the place?

No. I hadn't heard that.

But then again, he's not short
of a few bob.

He's a man with a knife and
a main chance.

Still trying to figure out
what the main chance is here.

Teresa, there's still a drop.
Not for me.

In fact I'm due in court later and
we still need to go through those

documents back at the office.
Yeah.

The land, the job. This will make
all the difference to Gemma and me.

Always happy to help.

Are you ready Brian?

Dennis, thanks again.

No problem. All the best.

Brian. Jack. You know Mrs. Burke.

Teresa. Sergeant.

What brings you down here this
early?

Dennis wants me to do some
marketing for his night club.

So you'll be staying around
a while longer.

You won't get rid of my that
easily.

I best be going.
Yeah, of course.

See you around Jack.

No, I'd be happy to speak to Barry
on his show.

After all, it's not only a great personal
loss but a loss for the whole community.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Jack. A bit early.

Private party. Working breakfast.
Celebrating something?

With Innis Vale in ashes?
I just saw Brian.

He mentioned some work you
were putting his way.

Something about a night club.

Just an idea I'm kicking about.

The local sergeant would have to sign
off on the late license for that.

I've more pressing matters
to attend to. So do you.

Shouldn't you be out looking for the
vandals who set fire to my property.

Okay then, why don't you tell me something
about your recent purchase of that property?

How might that be relevant?

I'm just wondering why a shrewd
businessman such as yourself

would buy a property that
had stood empty for months.

It wasn't selling nor
looking like selling.

Maybe it's because as a shrewd
businessman I knew that shower

weren't thinking big enough.
And you were?

Vision, money, connections.

The businessman's holy trinity.

They might've had a little bit of vision
but without money and connections..

I suppose Teresa Burke is looking
after the planning for you.

Teresa's my solicitor, yeah.

I'd imagine so you're anxious the
insurance company pay out on this one.

I'm not anxious cos I'm insured.
And you've got connections.

I presume you've witnesses to
say you were here all last night.

What are you trying to suggest
Sergeant?

I am just trying to do my job Dennis.

I look forward to seeing that
license application.

There was a time when they
were younger when I thought

Jack and Fiona might get together.

But Jack wasn't cut out
to be a farmer.

Jack had said there'd been a special
someone but I thought she lived in Dublin.

Oh there've been several special
ones.

You're talking about Maura Dooley.

I liked her but it was..
Complicated.

You must be looking forward
to going home.

You've been good to us Eithne.

I won't pretend it was easy
but that wasn't your fault

and Brian is family.
I respect that.

We've overstayed our welcome.
Not at all.

But with your kind of jobs
I know what it's like.

You don't want to be off the horse for too long
or someone else will be up and away on it.

Morning ladies and how's
my favourite aunt?

Where have you been?
You haven't packed yet.

I know and I will, but I wanted
to talk first.

I'll leave you to it.
Oh no, don't Eithne.

It's fine.

I thought we could go up to
the old house.

Let me send these to Jack first.
What?

Photographs from the fire.

I've been finding out about
my rights to the land.

And you didn't say anything?

Well I wanted to be sure.
I wanted to surprise you.

I'm certainly surprised. Good.

No, it's not good Brian. Why?

What about Eithne?
What about her?

I presume she knows
nothing about this.

I'm sure she does.

I mean about what you're up to.
I'm not up to anything.

This place is rightfully mine.

I'm not discussing this with you
until you've spoken to Eithne.

Shite.

Lads, get in here.
We've found something.

Niamh Duffy.

Fiona Kinsella's cousin.

With all due respect Sir,
it's a suspicious death.

We need the resources.

Even one man would be
a help Sir.

Yeah.

Yes Sir, I understand.

Chris, could Niamh Duffy have
started the fire herself?

Knocked over a candle or
a lantern?

Scenes of crime confirmed,
the fire was started deliberately.

There were traces of accelerants.

She could've started it deliberately
and then got caught?

It's possible. Best be tidying
our gear up.

Super sending down a team? Gave me
an earful about cuts to his budget.

Saving himself some overtime.

I have to go and break
the news to Ollie Duffy.

Do you think Niamh Duffy took
her own life?

Either that or Mr. Costello was
regretting his recent purchase and
she got caught up in his plans.

Actually, speaking of Costello.

Have you heard anything about
a night club?

He was celebrating something
this morning and there was talk
about marketing a night club.

A bit previous don't you think?

Don't recall a late license
application coming across my desk.

A night club. You think that's
what that was about?

What what was about?

I thought it was just a late bar
for special occasions and weddings.

That application would've been
addressed to me Finbar.

Would it be such a bad thing?

It might bring a bit of life
into the area.

Do you fancy spending your nights
picking up the drunks,

stopping the fights, explaining to the
neighbours why they can't sleep at 2am?

When you're through here we're going to
write a report for me to send to the super.

In it you are going to explain
how and why it was that you

signed off on Costello's application
without my permission.

But Jack, the super will
chew my balls off.

That was your look-out.
Costello's not getting that license.

If he had anything to do with this
fire you'll be thanking me.

I've to go now Brian.
School board.

Is Gemma alright?

She's gone down to the beach.

I don't like to see you
two like this.

You know I really love
the view here.

Looks beautiful now but in
winter it's desolate.

Many's the person's come here on
holiday and tried to settle down

but given up after a few hard
winters.

It's poor land. Treacherous land.

We wanted to take you for
dinner tonight. No need.

To say thank you.

That's very kind.
I'll see you later then.

Seeya.

Ollie, I need to talk to you.

Can I come inside?

And there was no-one else hurt?
Just Niamh.

Were you not expecting
her home last night?

I thought she was staying over
with her cousin. With Fiona.

Had she been down lately?
Depressed?

I've never known her like that.

She was the life and soul.
Always so up, so positive.

Ollie.

Can you think of any reason
she would've had for going down

to the development last night?

Dennis Costello, the owner.
He'd just offered her some work.

What kind of work? She did interiors,
landscaping. That kind of thing.

She had a good eye.

She did a nice job on this place.

Considering. We were completely
cleaned out.

The money ran out way back.

Was she meant to do the interiors
originally too?

It was Fiona's land but we
were all in it together.

I was project manager.

We were going to split
the profits from the sales.

I'm sorry Ollie.
I do need to ask these questions.

I wish I'd never listened to her.

Got involved in that place.

She was convinced it'd work out.

She'd such dreams.
Living the high life.

She thought she could just
reach out and take it.

She never saw how it could all..

Fiona thought she was doing
us a favour.

Some favour.

Robbie.

I'm sorry Robbie.

Mummy's gone.

We're going to need to go down to
the hospital to identify the body.

Is there someone you can
leave him with?

My neighbour. Breda.

So the prize giving is at
3 tomorrow.

Can we make sure as many of us are
there as possible. Show our support.

Item 3. Extra curricular provision.
Teresa. Thanks Eithne.

I wanted to raise this because other
than Gaelic games and the Christmas show

we don't offer much outside the
narrow confines of the curriculum.

I strongly feel that it doesn't prepare
the kids for today's job market,

in areas such as marketing
and media.

There are people out there with
skills that we can draw on.

Your nephew Eithne, for instance.

He tells me his partner is
a skilled photographer

and is up with all the latest
technology. Gemma.

Brian thinks that she would
be interested in helping us out.

But they're going back to England
tomorrow.

I was with him this morning and
I had the distinct impression that..

Why don't I approach her and see if
she'd be interested in running

an after school course as a pilot.

Or maybe it'd be more appropriate
if you talked to her.

I can see her, in the flames,
burning.

Don't Ollie. She died of
smoke inhalation.

And will she.. the body?

There'll have to be a post-mortem.
It'll be a few days yet.

Will they...?
They'll look after her.

I'd have done anything for her.
Anything.

And Robbie.

Good luck. Teresa, I was wondering
if we could have a word.

I have a few minutes.
Thanks. I realise you're busy.

I appreciate this is a delicate
matter.

This is about your cousin Brian's
claim?

No. No it's not.

In that case I beg your pardon.
I assumed he told you.

It's about the fire at Innis Vale.

Right.

I understand you've been acting for Dennis
Costello in certain planning matters.

That's correct. Though
I must warn you.

Client confidentiality means
such information is privileged.

Mr. Costello recently purchased
the Innis Vale development.

He told me he was seeking planning
permission to extend the project.

That's a matter of public record.

And Niamh Duffy was employed
to design the interiors.

I wasn't aware of that. There
wasn't much provision for interiors.

In fact that was one of the
reasons they weren't persuaded.

They felt the whole thing
was under-financed.

The planning application
was rejected?

That's a matter of public record
Sergeant.

Siobhan, tell Mr. Clarke I'll be
with him in a minute. Thanks.

Thank you.

Brian.

Batteries. Checking the alarm.
The one in the hall is dead.

You can't be too careful,
after the fire and all.

We don't want this place
going up too.

Jack usually does that. Well..

There you go. Your home
is safe and sound.

Sorry to disturb you.

No, I was just..

So, how was Ollie?
How do you think?

Told me Costello had offered
Niamh work.

Oh yeah, what sort of work?
That's what I need to find out.

His planning application was
knocked back 2 weeks ago.

You think he got Niamh Duffy
to torch the place for him?

I hope not.

You'd want to be sure of your facts if you
want to go after the former inspector.

It's not up to me who
I want to go after Finbar.

It's up to the facts. That's
why I need to be sure of them.

Go on, you're done here.

You can get to work on that report.

Things clear?
Yeah, it's all yours.

Cillian, Fiona!

Cillian! Fiona!

How was the governor's meeting?

The school board. Fine.
PHONE RINGS..

Hello Jack.

Gemma hi. Are you busy?
No, it's fine.

Your photos, I was wondering if you could give
me a hand with them if that's not too cheeky.

Of course it's not cheeky.
I'd be happy to help.

Great. I'll pick you up in
an hour or so.

How can I help you Sergeant?

You know Niamh Duffy? Yeah.

Lovely girl.

I was awful upset to hear the news.
Terrible accident. Terrible.

So, what are you thinking Sarge?

Stray cigarette?
Too soon to say.

Still waiting for scenes of
crime to report.

Don't know what she was doing
up there. You don't?

Her husband told me you offered
her a job. I did.

Perhaps that's what she was
doing up there.

Whatever you asked her to do.
At that time of night?

You tell me. I'm not sure
I follow you Sergeant.

I'm not sure I like your
tone either.

You're planning and change of use
application for Innis Vale was

turned down 2 weeks ago.
According to who?

It's a matter of public record.

Minor setback.

That you omitted telling me earlier.

I'm a businessman.

You have to roll with the punches,
pick yourself up and move on.

So the council threw the plans out.
Only temporarily.

They just needed proof I could
deliver the place to a higher spec.

And with a new night club I'd soon have
sufficient cash flow to finish the development.

Which is why I invited Niamh
on board.

I wanted her to come up with something
special by way of design to tip the balance.

Is that right? You want proof?

I suggest you exhaust all lines of inquiry
before you go round making insinuations.

It doesn't prove anything.
Well tell me this then.

Why would I risk my investment and my
good name by setting fire to Innis Vale?

Doesn't make sense. This isn't about
your investment or good name any more.

This is about he death of a
young woman.

The mother of a small child
who died on your property.

No, it's not entirely social Jim.

I've a spot of local difficulty
with one of my developments.

No, a recent acquisition.

There was a fire and I was thinking you might
want to put yourself forward as the assessor.

My insurance with the insurer
so to speak.

It's with Flannery Building
Insurance.

I was onto them and they haven't
assigned it yet.

Well, I'm sure we can come
to some arrangement.

It'll give you a chance to hook up
with your old pal, Jack Driscoll.

When can you get here?

Dennis, are you down there?

Good man. See you then, bye.

Just had the builders in.
No respect for the law.

Or do you want to add that to
the long list of my crimes?

Your boss has the knives out
for me in every other direction.

Join the club.

Listen.

He wants me to write a report
to the super,

about the late license.

I swear to you Dennis,
there's nothing I can do.

He's got me over a barrel.

I would suggest you think very hard about
it before you submit any such report.

But it's that or my job.

The application was addressed
to the sergeant.

You've passed your sergeant's
exams, haven't you.

But I'm not the sergeant
in this station.

You certainly won't have a hope
of that if this report goes in.

Let me remind you, we had a deal.

This wasn't just some
favour you were doing me.

You owed me.

And you still owe me.

Mum.

Does he have a claim to the land?

Your father had the land put
in trust. When?

After Uncle Sean came back on
the scene?

That makes sense. Yes it does. Someone
has to safeguard our inheritance.

Sean said Dad didn't fancy
sharing the spoils.

Well I am now the sole
trustee of those spoils.

Gemma tells me you need
to borrow her.

For official purposes only.

I hear you've been running
around putting out fires.

I just find out who started them.

Ready to go?

Don't be late for dinner.

Sorry, I'll just be a minute.

Mum.

Maybe you should see a solicitor
all the same.

The only people who'll benefit in getting
solicitors involved are the solicitors.

They end up owning the place.

Family are best dealt
with by family.

Okay partner, let's make tracks.

RADIO: So Dennis, a difficult
day for you.

DENNIS COSTELLO: "Yes Barry,
very difficult."

I had great plans for Innis Vale.
It's a sad loss.

For myself and for the community.

Those holiday homes would've brought
visitors and business to the area...

Getting his side of
the story out there.

And the body that was found. I'm
right in saying it's that of a woman?

COSTELLO: "Yes Barry, but you'll
understand I wouldn't like to"

comment any further at this time.

We are of course, giving
the Gardai every assistance...

Who was she? Niamh Duffy.
A young mother.

Are you saying she was in there the whole
time I was taking photographs? Yeah.

What was she doing there?

I'm hoping your photos might help
answer that question. Oh God.

I came through here.

Kinsellas own all this land.
Really?

Yeah. It used to belong to
Fiona's grandfather.

Spent half my childhood
messing about up here.

Romantic childhood.

I thought Scotland was romantic.
Highlands and islands maybe.

You'll have plenty of time to
explore the romance of the place.

Brian's making plans to stay on.

He's been talking to a solicitor about
his rights to the land, hasn't he?

He told me this morning.

I'm not part of it.
I don't agree with it.

If he's entitled to the land then..

I told him he's got to drop the cloak
and dagger stuff. It's ridiculous.

And you? What about me?

Are you still planning on going home?

I'm your witness, aren't I.
Don't you need me to stay?

It was about here that I took
the photos.

Can I see? Yeah.

How do you focus?

What do you want to look at?

Now you're being cheeky.

Jack, I'm sorry. No.

Here.

One of your photos.
There's a light, in that window.

Is that where she died?

The development wasn't
connected to the grid.

So what's that then, a candle?
Or a lamp.

What else do you see in
the window?

Curtains.

Can I? Yeah.

Why are you looking over there?

Jack, where are you going?
Kinsella's lambing shed.

So what's so odd about curtains?

Why would you have curtains
in an unfinished building?

Maybe it was a show home. No.
The houses were just shells.

Can you make that out?

No. But you could bring up
the exposure on the computer.

Why didn't you tell us Jack?

I'm sorry Fiona. I couldn't.
We're your friends Jack.

I told you we shouldn't bother
him Fiona.

We tried calling Ollie
but he's not answering.

He's taking it hard.

I left him with Robbie. There's
a neighbour looking in on him.

I think I'll walk back.
Are you sure?

If you wait I can..
No, it's getting late.

I'm sorry.

Look, I know this is difficult.

Ollie said Niamh had been
doing the interiors for you.

That was always the plan.
It was her thing.

And you were working together
for a share of the profits.

We wanted to make it work for them,
as well as us.

Then the money dried up.

Did she tell you Dennis Costello
offered her work after he bought it?

No.

Is that why she was there?

I don't know.

You think Niamh burned the place
down, for him?

Would she do that?

Niamh was impulsive and strong willed but
she wouldn't do something like that.

Sure she had no reason
to do something like that.

And for Costello.

Ollie told me he thought
Niamh was staying here last night.

Were you expecting her?
No. We'd nothing planned.

Thanks.

Fiona, I'm sorry I didn't tell
you earlier.

Thanks Jack.

Thanks.

Okay.

So there's no chance she
could've started the fire herself.

No. Thanks for letting me know.

Give me a call if you
find out anything else.

That's Cillian. Shit.

In the normal run of things I'd say
that seeing it and not reporting it

suggests a vested interest.

Cillian told me earlier
he hadn't seen it.

I know he's an old friend,
but all the same Jack.

But there again, why would he
torch a place he's just sold?

Is it not more likely
to have been Niamh herself?

Forensics found a lantern
near Niamh's body.

That wasn't what started it.
What are you thinking?

The Kinsellas sold Innis Vale out of
the blue for less than it was worth.

Maybe Costello intended to burn it
down from the very start.

The land's worth money. He can
afford to sit on it, bide his time.

Could've cut the Kinsellas in for a share
of the insurance if they torched it.

And Niamh Duffy an innocent victim?

Do you want me to have a word
with Cillian? No. Thanks.

I'll go over first thing. He'll be
busy with the lambing again tonight.

You lock up.

Right.

Mr. Costello said I should
talk to her.

Thought it was strange that
no land was left to my dad.

Or at least for it all to
be left to the youngest daughter.

Brian, Mum, Gemma.

Mr. Costello is correct and
as I'm sure Teresa has explained,

I am the sole executor of
that trust now.

What I'd like to do Eithne, is build a
new place where the old house stood.

From scratch?

That's a big job and then
there'd be the planning.

It'll be fine. There's
an existing structure.

You have it all worked out. I'm sure
you'd want it as a holiday home.

No. As our home.

Gemma loves it here and me,
well it's where I'm from.

Brian, did you not think you might
speak to me about this first?

We did speak. Not about
setting up home together.

I told you to speak to Eithne.
Which is what I'm doing now.

Gemma. You wanted me to come to
Ireland and you were right.

I was missing something,
a sense of.. home.

Well, that's what I've found.

Please.

Best room in the house.

So how come you gave me the nod?

If anyone knows how Driscoll's
mind works it's you.

So, what do you think?

We'll have to find out how far he's got
and then we'll take it from there.

He's below tonight.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to
postpone the pleasure of our reunion.

It's a hell of a drive.

I need to recharge the batteries
before I get down to work.

Right. Well don't take too
long then.

There's no point in being a martyr
about this. I think you need advice.

I'm not being a martyr.
I'm being pragmatic. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

But you said yourself you loved
it here.

I need to go and talk to Jack.

Jack.

Hi.

Were your friends okay?
As well as could be expected.

Listen, about what happened
earlier.

It shouldn't have happened.
I'm sorry. No. I'm glad it did.

These things can be dangerous.
For everyone.

We need to be careful.
Maybe they're best left alone.

What if I don't want to leave
it alone?

Are you ready Gem?
Everything alright?

Yeah, I was just checking if Jack
needed me to stay on as a witness.

I'll see you.

Goodnight Sergeant. Sweet dreams.

Ollie, are you in there?

Breda. Jack.

Have you seen Ollie this morning?
No but I think he's inside.

Hang on, I've a spare key.
Thanks.

Ollie!

Are you okay Ollie?

Fiona said you weren't
answering last night.

Listen to me Ollie.
Niamh didn't start the fire.

I promise you I'll find out who did.

Why don't I take Robbie
for a couple of hours?

Give you some peace.

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye
on him.

Thanks.

Cillian. Jack.

I was wondering if I could
have a word.

Fiona's just left.
We're low on feed.

I know. I just passed her.

Well, if you don't mind talking down the yard.
I'm busy with the lambs.

How have I changed?
What are you doing now?

Stop being so childish.
Give it back to me!

Where are you going?
I'm going home like we agreed.

I think you should too. I've a
right to be here, just like my dad.

They're not gonna run me off.
I'm having no part of this.

Especially after all the generosity
that your aunt has shown you.

And now we know why she
was being so nice.

Worried I'd find out about their
dirty little secret.

For years you said it was me
that was afraid of commitment.

Now when I find a place
I belong..

I'm doing this for us, Gem.
You are not doing this for us.

You're doing this for revenge.
It's my right. Even Eithne agrees.

We do not connect at all
any more Brian.

What does that mean?
I'm going home.

I'm getting on that plane today
whether you are or not.

Cillian.

You saw the fire Cillian.

You told me yesterday you hadn't.

Is it a crime not to have
reported it?

Given you were the owner until recently,
it does suggest some involvement.

I swear Jack.. Did you and Dennis
Costello have some kind of deal?

What? No.

You thought Niamh might've done it?
Is that why you didn't report it?

You were trying to protect her?

You don't have to protect her
any longer.

Cillian, if you know something.

She told me she was going
down there that night.

She told you.

She was waiting for you.

In one of the pictures of the fire, there was a
light in the window and there were curtains.

You and Niamh..
It was over Jack.

I swear.

Fiona's cousin. I didn't know she
was going to stay all night.

I didn't know she was down
there when.. If I did..

You set up a love nest in a house you
owned with your wife and Niamh's husband.

I know it was wrong Jack.
It was mad but I felt alive again.

You of all people should
understand that. Why me?

I mean you and Maura. You had
an affair a couple of years ago.

Her marriage was over in all
but name and I wasn't married.

Still, you know what I mean
when you can't help yourself.

How long had it been going on?
6-7 months.

Were you going to leave Fiona?
At the beginning maybe.

It got more difficult.
What did? Niamh?

She wouldn't let it rest.
And Fiona?

That's why I'd finished it. It
couldn't continue, I'd realised that.

When? After we sold.
We both had families.

But you were against selling.
It was Niamh who wouldn't let it go.

Kept calling. So why didn't you go
when she called you that night?

I couldn't get away to tell her
that it was over once and for all.

That it couldn't start again. That's
why she started the fire, I'm sure.

To get back at me.

She didn't start the fire Cillian.

What? Were you with Fiona
all night?

In here. We'd just delivered one
when I came out and saw it.

Did she know?

About the affair, no. Why? No.

Fiona knew nothing about it.

Jack. Jack.

Please Jack. Don't drag her
into it.

As a friend Jack, I'm asking you.
I can't promise that Cillian.

It doesn't do you justice.
You're much prettier in real life.

But I can safely verify that
it is yourself.

That's it then. Enjoy the holliers.
Say thank you Eibhlinn. Thanks.

Sorry.

I have that effect on women.

Are you off on your holliers too?
Holidays, the suitcase.

Oh no, the opposite.
I was looking for..

Jack. He's out. Can I help?

No, it's kind of..
You could call him. PHONE RINGS.

No, not if he's busy. Sorry.

Garda Colvin.

No, I'm afraid you've got to come
down in person to do that.

Yeah. We'll see you tomorrow so.
Bye now.

Finbar, where are you with that
report on Costello's late license?

I'm just polishing it. So how
did you get on with the Kinsellas?

It turns out Cillian was having
an affair with Niamh Duffy.

I still need to talk to Fiona.
Are you in the vicinity?

No, why? It's Gemma, she was
in looking for you.

She said it wasn't important
but she had a suitcase.

So she's gone?
Yeah, she's gone over to Mallons.

What does she mean lack
of connection?

First it's commitment,
now it's connection.

Maybe she took fright, the prospect
of moving here permanently.

It's a big change.
The trip was her idea.

If she didn't want to be with me
then why did she suggest it?

Perhaps she's worried about
your reasons for wanting to stay.

Surely your relationship is more
important to you than that old place.

Gemma might not relish the prospect
of living in a half-built house

in a rocky field by the Atlantic.

But she's the one who said she
likes it here.

Well, if you don't like it
why do you want to stay?

I'm sure she'd think differently
if you were both back home.

She could see your future
together more clearly then.

I'm afraid I'll lose her. This
place is not as idyllic as it seems.

Whatever problems you have, you're not
going to solve them by being here.

I really think you should think
about going back home.

Aha, the man himself.

Jack Driscoll. We meet again.
Jim.

What are you doing here?

I'm in the insurance game now.

I understand you had a bit
of a blaze.

I'd heard you'd left the guards.

You seen Maura recently?
Not in some time.

Your ex-colleague?
Our mutual ex.

I hear she's up in the park
with some inspector now.

That's what we call passing
the problem up the line.

Who are you working for?

We're independent. This one's
for Flannery Building Insurance.

And you know the ex-inspector
I take it?

Only insofar as everyone knows
everyone in the guards.

I taught this fella
everything he knows.

I remember him as a fresh-faced country fella
up in the big smoke for the first time.

He obviously learned much
as the feet of such a master.

So how is the investigation going?
Proceeding.

Your friend Mr. Dooley was trying
to find out what I knew about it.

He couldn't break me.
You can't blame a man for trying.

Well an informative interrogation
for both of us, I hope.

I will leave you in Jack's
capable hands.

I don't like you being here.

It's not for much longer.
I'm going home this afternoon.

I can look after myself Jack.
I don't doubt that.

Do you have a moment?

You said last night what happened
between us, you were glad it happened.

I'd be lying if I said a big
part of me wasn't glad too.

I do have feelings for you.

But when I said it would be
dangerous..

I understand. Mr. Dooley
explained everything.

I don't think he's forgiven you
for stealing his wife.

I think we should stop now.
Before it..

Before you make decisions about
yourself and Brian,

decisions you can't go back on.

Stop what exactly Jack?

You really are original. I don't think I've never
had anyone split up with me before we got together.

Sorry. You're right.

I need to get back.

Nice piece of work Jack.

Wasn't the insurers who
called you in, was it?

I phoned him myself.
Suggested he put himself forward.

Us ex-guards have to stick together.

I wonder what they'd make of your
relationship with the claimant.

Flannery's you said.

From what I could see Mr. Costello
had a viable business plan.

The insurance company weren't going
to pay any more than he paid for it

so what would he have to gain
from burning it down?

I'm investigating a suspicious death
and you've already decided to settle.

All I'm saying.. I don't know
why you're really here Jim.

But if I find you interfering
in any way I'll be reporting you

to much more than just the insurance
company. Ex-guard or not.

Still a self-righteous little
prick I see.

Yeah. A prick who's trying
to put me in the frame for this.

Time to get the nets out Jim.
Start trawling.

Fiona. Jack.

I was wondering if I could
have a word with you, about Niamh.

Yes. Can you send someone
to load that up for me please?

Yeah, no problem. Thank you.

Talk outside.

The letter being addressed to
the sergeant of the station..

Aforesaid letter. Supers
like it legal sounding.

Having recently passed my sergeants
exam, I felt enabled to open the

aforesaid letter and take
care of the matter,

to save my sergeant further
paperwork.

Upon recollection.. Try mature
recollection. Sounds better.

Upon mature recollection.. What
have you turned up on this fire?

Jack is mainly dealing
with that.

Nothing you can throw me in
return for...?

The way it is with him at the minute
that's more than my job's worth.

There is another way of solving
this problem of yours.

That doesn't involve the super
feeding me to the German shepherds?

That leaves you completely
in the clear,

in return for a few scraps
from the master's table.

Our friend Dennis Costello
isn't going to like it though.

So it's got to be strictly between
you and me.

The development was a way of
us helping her.

Must've been difficult. Especially
when it started to go wrong.

We had our disagreements but I
didn't have so much do with it.

Cillian worked with them.
Did the financial side of it.

Did Cillian work closely
with Niamh? Yes.

What are you driving at Jack?

Cillian said you and he were
in the lambing shed all that night.

Yes. Why?

When you sold the place, did Dennis
Costello come to you or did you go to him?

He came to us. He didn't offer to
make a deal to burn it down?

No he didn't. What are you saying?
I thought Niamh was..

Niamh didn't light the fire Fiona.

You mean she was murdered?
Or in the wrong place.

And you suspect us?

Or Cillian? I just asked
you a question.

But you've already asked Cillian.

I thought you were our friend.

This isn't how friends behave.

I'm not answering any more questions
without him being present.

Perhaps I can get that courtesy
off you at least.

Chris. Finbar. How's it going?

Good. I was hoping for a
quiet word. About the fire?

A related matter.

The fire certificate for Dennis
Costello's night-club to be precise.

We were hoping you could help.
You and Jack?

Yeah. Just so long as it doesn't
blow back in my face.

Reservations. Yeah, I'll hold.

That's a load-bearing wall.
It's going to cost extra.

Oh no it's not.
You gave me quote.

All in price, non-negotiable. Yeah
but that job will take an eye bar.

Better get measuring then.

Dennis. A fella could die of thirst
waiting for service in this place.

How'd you get on? Finbar's a fairly
handy local resources, isn't he.

He wasn't born, he was knitted. Hum
the right tune and he'll sing it.

I found his tune alright.

Turns out Niamh Duffy was having
an affair with Cillian Kinsella

in one of your holiday homes. Jack
will struggle to pin this on you now.

Of course he will cos
I didn't do it.

That never stopped you before.

But we can show that Niamh Duffy was there
for purposes other than doing your bidding.

But she wasn't there for.. Dennis, I don't
need to know and I don't want to know.

You're back. Did Jack get...?

Hi Cillian, it's me.
I'm here at the usual.

I'm sure you'll be wondering
how I got the keys.

You'll just have to come
on over to hear my good news.

Hope you can get away soon.
I'll wait for you. Bye.

Did it occur to you that
I might've known about the affair?

And I just chose to look
the other way.

You didn't know. How do you know
what goes on between a man and wife?

How would you?

In 15 years of marriage
we've had our ups and downs.

I for one have no intention of
throwing away all the good things

that we have built together, because of a
little fling that would've soon fizzled out.

Cillian was with me that night Jack.
So you told me.

So now you don't believe either
of us.

He didn't start that fire Jack.
I am telling you.

If you want proof there's
the flock register in the shed.

We keep dates and times of birth
of all the newborns.

We delivered three that night.

Oh, of course.
We could've forged that as an alibi.

Or perhaps one of us could've
popped out to set fire to my cousin

while the other saw to the lambs.

I have my job to do.

Well..

If your job's so important
you better go and do it.

Maybe in the future our
word will be good enough for you.

Eithne.. I'll be in in a minute.

It'll have to be quick.
I'm presenting the prizes.

I just wanted to say sorry for
leaving without saying goodbye

and thanking you for your
generosity.

I'd appreciate it if you would
talk to Brian before you leave.

He really should be going with you.
I know. Believe me, I've tried.

You persuaded him to come out here.
You can't just leave him.

Brian's an adult and he's not
my responsibility.

Well he's not mine either.
Yeah but he is your nephew.

I have to go.

I'm sorry we can't part on
better terms.

They've withdrawn your fire
certificate.

Nothing more we can do?

Put in more fire exits?
We could try and appeal.

But after yesterday's fire
they'll be nervous.

My advice, more money down the drain.
But you're welcome to give it a go.

It's not all bad news.

I've sounded out a councillor
on your new proposal for Innis Vale.

I think you'll fine there's more support
for it than the holiday complex.

Thanks Teresa.

I'll see you.

Bye.

Finbar.

Dennis. Mr. Costello I mean.

I did what I..

That's the fire officers.

Yes, I'm aware.

Soon.

I'll settle up soon.

It's more than money you
owe me Sergeant.

I know you had a hand in this.

I very much doubt it was your
bright idea.

This isn't about who you want
as your friends any more.

It's about who you want as your enemies
and you don't want me as your enemy.

Gem. Gem stop.

Get in, I'll give you a lift.

Gemma please, I just want to talk.

Gem stop.

Just talk, that's all.

Please.

Listen.. Brian..

Look, if I messed things
up I'm sorry.

If I rushed into things..
What, after 7 years?

The house thing.. That isn't it.

What is it then? Everything.
Just everything. Us.

This is pointless. Pull over.
I want to walk.

No. I want to know what it is.
Why?

Stop the car Brian.

If I do will you tell me?

So? It's over.
That's what it is.

And that's it?

Brian, there's a lot more
that could be said but

it won't do either of us any good.

I'm going home and I think
you should too.

I don't love you Brian.

I haven't for some time.

But I turned down a lot
of work for this.

Save your sob story for your dole officer.
I've trouble enough of my own.

Just when you've got one monkey back
in the box another one jumps out.

Speaking of which.. God.

I need a word. In private.

Here's as good as anywhere.
I've nothing to hide.

In fact Mr. Dooley can
act as my witness.

To what I've got to say to you?
No, to what I've got to say to you.

Your pal Cillian Kinsella was having an
affair with Niamh Duffy on my property.

Some witness. Did you just call
him in to dig the dirt for you?

I've informed my insurers and they
accept Niamh Duffy was trespassing

for reasons entirely unconnected
to me.

Might I say if I'd known what
they were up to on my property

I wouldn't have offered her
work in the first place.

Unlike some Sergeant Driscoll, I don't
hold with extra marital affairs.

Now you get off my case..
Or what?

Are you going to threaten a guard
in front of your witness?

Or write a very stiff letter to your super
to complain about this public harassment.

You're the one who insisted
on making it public.

So you didn't do a deal
with the Kinsellas

and Niamh Duffy was having
an affair on your property.

But Niamh didn't start that fire.
That means I did?

I'm sure you had a hand in it.
Make that stand up in court.

Show me one piece of evidence.

You know your problem?

You let your personal relations
cloud your impartiality.

You're mistaking a personal
vendetta for real garda work.

You've nothing.

Jack, hang on.

Come on Jack, you know how it is.

Just cos we're in civvies
doesn't change anything.

And just because I know how it is doesn't
mean I have to go along with it.

We both know that the guards and the
whole country would be a lot better

off without bastards like Costello
calling the shots.

But you're letting this
thing with him blind you.

Okay look, I know. I know you
think I'm no better than he is.

But I am. I loved the job and I believed
in it and I was a good teacher.

But now it seems that you've forgotten
everything that you learned.

Niamh Duffy was having an affair
with Cillian Kinsella.

This isn't about money.
It's a crime of passion.

9 times out of 10 it's someone
close to the victim.

So that's where you should
be looking.

Gemma. Hi.

I thought you'd be gone.
I'm supposed to be but..

You're busy.

I'm sorry. I have to go.
More important fish to fry.

I need to find someone.

No problem.

Ollie!

How long ago did he leave?

About 20 minutes.
Do you know where?

He went back to the place.
Innis Vale.

I said I didn't think it a good idea but maybe
it'll help him with the grieving. Thanks.

Ollie. Don't come any closer.

Ollie please.

I would've done anything for her
you know.

I know you would have but you
have to stop this.

What we had, what I gave her.
It was never enough.

Just put down the can.

You can't destroy someone's life
then carry as if nothing.. I know.

You want to know why I did it?
I did it for Robbie.

So he wouldn't have to live with..
With the betrayal.

No! Robbie's already lost
one parent. He needs you.

He doesn't. He'll be
better off without me.

He'll always be your son Ollie.

Having a father who's somewhere, anywhere
is better than having a father who's not.

What took you so long?
I didn't know. I should've realised.

You should've arrested me yesterday
when you came to tell me.

I'm in hell. Ollie.
This is hell.

I'm sorry. I should've got
to you sooner. Sorry?

No!

Let me!

You'll have to burn me too.

Who'll look after Robbie?

Social services will talk to the
nearest relatives.

Ask them to ask Fiona.

She's a good mother.

I'll see what I can do.

Dennis.

Brian.

I'm sorry, I've not got round to those
PR ideas for the night club yet.

Gemma's left me.
Gone back home.

Well since the fire officer's
put the kybosh on the club

I won't be needing that material now
or your services for that matter.

As for Gemma, well she's not
gone just yet.

She hasn't? I have my suspicions as to
why she might be still hanging round.

I think Jack Driscoll is spending
more time than is strictly necessary

for investigative purposes
with your girlfriend.

Bastard.

Brian. Hiding behind your uniform.

Just like you did when
you took my dad away.

And now you're after Gemma.

Well you're not having her.
Hey!

Brian!

I wouldn't do that, son.

Do you want to charge him
or just kick the shit out of him?

Just get rid of him.
Come on. Out you go.

Bastard. Come on.

Take it easy.

Now piss off.

Bastard!

Friend of yours? Cousin.

Oh it's genetic then, is it,
this compulsion to punch guards?

You were always a brave bastard
though, I'll give you that.

So you got your man.
And you got your kick back.

Yeah. We were a good team once,
me and you. I remember that.

Finbar, good to meet you.
Cheers and thanks for..

Pleasure.

He seems decent enough, considering
you decked him when he was your boss

and then ran off with his misses.

Right. I'll just get the
evidence so.

Thanks.

Everything to your satisfaction?

Yeah, it was fine.
How much do I owe you?

There was two coffees this morning.

Actually stick those on my tab
Dennis.

Of course.

Get you one for the road?
No, I don't think so.

Tell me this. What exactly do
women see in Jack Driscoll?

Why don't you ask your ex-wife?
She knew him a lot better than me.

I'd say what she saw was a man
with a sense of honour and duty.

Two things in short supply
around here.

Knowing Jack the little that I do, he
wouldn't have started a relationship

with your wife unless he knew
it was over between you.

You could learn a lot from him.
Your ex-pupil.

Thanks.

Give us a large one there Dennis.

Will I put that on your bill?
Only joking.

What we agreed.

Less 150 for bed and board.

Actually do you know what?
Keep your money.

And your whiskey.

Sergeant.

Listen, I understand why
you got scared before.

But Brian and I are finished.
I told him.

I'm not anybody's wife. I'm my own
woman and I make my own decisions.

You're staying?

For a few days.

Well you're not staying at
Costello's.

I've a spare room inside.

Won't people talk? They might.

I know he's your cousin but from now on you're
going to treat him like a brother. Okay.

His mum and dad have had to go away
and he's going to be living with us.

Hey guys.
Hey Robbie.

Looking for something?

Must've left my hairbrush
at your mum's.

I'd offer you my comb but..

It's not important.

Apart from that?

You know how we agreed to
take it slowly.

Yeah.

Are you looking for something Jack?
A hairbrush.

Yeah, around the corner there.
Thanks.

God, it's so sad about Niamh Duffy.
Yeah.

Do you know what caused it yet?
But I can't say Aine.

Maybe some good will come out of it.

It says Dennis Costello's going to
turn Innis Vale into social housing.

Good for the community. Better than
holiday homes empty half the year.

Your Mairead will be looking
for a place of her own soon.

She's only 17 Jack.

I'm aiming higher than
a council house for her.

It's more of a ladies..
Not for me.

How much did that come to?

Seeya Majella.

Brian! Brian!

I know you're in there!

I can hear your phone ringing.

Are you okay?

Brian. Open the door, will you?

Is that it then?

Are you putting this picture in?
It's not on the list.

It's not relevant now, is it?

Don't want to confuse the poor
souls down in HQ.

There's something missing here
Finbar.

That the report? Even better.

A get out of jail free card
from our friend Chris.

A letter rescinding Costello's late
license on the grounds of fire risk.

Well that's all fine and well.

There's not an objection in
here I wouldn't have raised myself

given the opportunity.

That's the point.
I didn't get the opportunity.

I don't know why you're doing
Costello all these favours

but I'm advising you,
in fact I'm telling you

if he's got his claws into
you get them out quick.

I know I messed up as well.

I'd have got to Ollie Duffy a lot
sooner if I hadn't been trying

to second guess Costello
all the time.

I need you on my side Finbar.

You've a wife and kids.
You need your career to support them.

Jack. Mum, what is it?

It's Brian. What's happened to him?

He's locked me out of my own home.
Changed the locks. What?

I was out shopping for food for him. After all I've
done for him and her, to do a thing like that.

Come inside.

You've got to go up there and tell him
he could get into very serious trouble.

You've got to talk to him. Jack.
Please, come inside.

Get him out of my house Jack.
Get him out of the house.

I can't just go up there and
kick the door in. He has rights.

To the land, not the house.
Your father and I built that house.

You?

Oh I see it all now.
I see it all.

Mum. Mum. Eithne.

Mum, come back.
