Are you okay with what I'm
going to do today?

You've got to do it.

My photography group
doesn't start till nine.

I've got nothing to do till then.

Gardai.

Jack. How long have you been here?

About an hour.
Should've called me sooner.

I thought you might enjoy
the lie-in.

It's Mairead O'Sullivan.
She claims she was driving.

That car? Yeah.

Not her parents' car. No.
A guy called James Kerrigan.

Have you breathalysed him?

I wouldn't mind putting
a bag on him but..

She claims she was driving.
Yeah and she's clear.

Who is he? Down from Dublin.

Gave his address as that big
place on the Coast Road.

You know it, very nice.

By the look of the car or what's left
of it, he's doing something right.

Have you done a reg check?
Still waiting.

Everything alright? She's good.
She's just a little shaken up.

That was a very lucky escape
Mairead.

I suppose you know my mum and
dad will kill me.

Parents.

Have you called them yet?

So what happened?

Gate post appeared out of nowhere.

You want me to believe
you were driving?

Yeah. It was my fault,
usually is.

Or was he driving and suggested
you swap places with him before

we arrived because he was
over the limit?

No. It was me.

Where were you, to be heading
home this early in the morning?

Out. At a party in Galway.
It sucked.

Awful retro music, overpriced
drinks.

Not that I was drinking.

You ever go out dancing
yourself Sergeant?

Not often, no.

You should. You and Gemma.

She's teaching me photography
you know.

She's really nice.

How much trouble am I in?

You're 17. Are you insured to
drive that car?

Sergeant.

James Kerrigan.

As I told your colleague, I was trying to
be responsible giving Mairead the wheel.

It seems you had quite a good
time at the party Mr. Kerrigan.

Yeah, I did.
Where was it again?

Some club. In Galway.

Don't you believe me?

So what, are you going to do
a CSI Miami to prove I'm lying?

We'll be taking your car in
for a PSV Mr. Kerrigan.

I'll let you know when
you can pick it up.

He's got a couple of bruised ribs.
Nothing else to worry about.

No need for hospital. Maybe you
can take Mr. Kerrigan home.

I'll look after Mairead.
Right. This way.

I'll just be a minute.
Why don't you wait in the car.

Normally I'd be charging
you for the lift.

Galway you said.
Not the Lodge House Hotel?

Where?

So what are you going to tell
my parents?

What don't you want them to know?

Where do they think you
were last night?

Out with some friends from school.

And I get the impression they
don't know about James.

They'd find half a dozen
things to disapprove of.

No job at the moment.

Doesn't own a shop, a farm or
a fishing boat.

That's a flash car for
someone unemployed.

He's a high flying finance expert.
Is that right?

You might want to wipe off
some of that make-up.

Make you look less like
you were out on the pull.

I wasn't on the pull.
I've got James.

Less of a tart now, am I?

How long have you been seeing him?
A few months.

You must like him a lot.

You're prepared to get into trouble
just so he doesn't lose his license.

So, are you going to cover
for me then?

I won't say he's your boyfriend.
That's your job.

But you can't keep him a secret
forever.

Right, so any pain, shortness of breath,
be sure to call the paramedics.

Thank you Garda. I will.

PHONE RINGS..

Kathleen.

Huh?

Can't you stall him?

He'll get his money,
just not immediately.

No. That's really not
a good idea.

I don't want to borrow any more
from Dennis than I have to.

Well we can move the kids
into another room,

till the summer anyway.

So no, they won't drop dead
from pneumonia.

You're not just throwing me
to the wolves, are you?

Of course not.

Are you here to protect me?
That's what the guards are for.

Mairead. Oh love, thank God. I'm
perfectly alright Mum. Don't fuss.

Thanks for bringing her home.

I don't understand whose
car it was.

Just this guy. Thought
I was doing him a favour.

What guy? Friend of a friend.
You don't know him.

James Kerrigan. He's not local.

She could probably do with
some sleep.

And leave the grown-ups to
discuss my fate.

Sorry Jack. She can be
very wilful.

She has a mind of her own alright.

Are you going to charge her
with anything?

She wasn't insured. I should.

But I could just caution her.

Thanks Jack.

See you later. Yeah.

Some more of the sky..

Pick up the reflection and
the textures on top.

How are you getting on?

Hi. Those are a fine big
pair of wellies on you.

Nice of you to say so.

Have you seen Mairead this morning?

I think you've got a visitor Miss.

He's not bad looking, that one.

Brian.

Looks like you're already building
a nice little life for yourself.

There's things we need to
sort out in that case.

Yeah the flat, my stuff.

Why don't you come round
to the house for dinner, talk?

Can we meet somewhere else?

Alright. When?

I'll call you.

Do you know what people are
saying now about you

stealing your cousin's fiance?
Is that what you think?

No Jack, of course not but you
need to be able to do your job.

I don't have a problem doing
my job.

Open your eyes Jack.
Around here, yes you do.

What is it?

Maybe there is too much history,
too much to live up to.

It wasn't fair. You never
had a chance here.

You can't do this.
This is my land.

My mother has rights. Try this on again
and I'll arrest you for trespassing.

Count yourself lucky
I haven't already. Yeah?

Maybe it's time you went home Brian.
What, back to England?

You'd love that, wouldn't you.
I don't think so.

This is my mother's house.
She built it.

I'll sort out having
that window fixed.

He's not going to give up
the land though, is he.

Take care Jack.
The knives are out.

To cover building and home
improvements.

My wife's taxi trade is thriving and
I've just been promoted to sergeant.

I was thinking maybe 5,000.

There's no reason I can see. A credit
check shouldn't be any problem.

That's grand. Thanks.
I'll speak to you tomorrow.

I got that car reg info back.

It turns out it doesn't even
belong to Mr. Kerrigan.

It's subject to an unauthorised
taking.

Apparently James Kerrigan worked
for some brokerage firm for

exchange traded commodity futures
and he was meant to return the car

on termination of his employment
but kept it.

In the car earlier,
she tried to kiss me.

It was like she thought it
was what she was supposed to do.

Well she's not the only one that James
Kerrigan is showing his big house to.

Hi. There was another one
there when I dropped him off.

Another young girl I mean.

She was out on this kind of balcony. It
was like something out of a Bond movie.

Maybe that's why Mairead has got
such an attitude on her.

Is that Mairead O'Sullivan? Yeah.

She didn't turn up for class.
Has something happened?

She was in a car accident.
She's fine.

I picked up something for lunch.
Sorry, I have to work.

Oh. Okay.

They were lying though.

Mairead claims they were coming
back from a party in Galway

but Kerrigan hadn't a clue
what she was talking about.

And I found this in the car.
Very nice.

Mrs. Colvin is always at me
to take her there.

Why would they lie about that?

I don't know.

Whose number is it?
I'm going to find out.

I'll get a request in. Though the
last time it took over a week.

Tom. Jack Driscoll here.
How are things down there?

I've got a number here
and I need an owner.

That'd be great.

Favours cost you in the long run.

Sounds like bitter experience Finbar.

Tom.

That's great. Thanks for that.
I'll owe you.

See what Pulse throws up on Kerrigan
seeing as he's an interesting

taking on what's legally his
and what isn't. Right.

Morning. Hoping you can help me.
Morning.

Do you have a Garrett O'Dowd
staying here?

Yes we do. He's checking out
this morning.

Great. Could you let me know
when he comes down? I will indeed.

Thank you.

Good morning. There's a
gentleman here to see you.

Mr. O'Dowd? Yes.

I was hoping you could help me.
Do you know a James Kerrigan? Yes.

Did you meet him last night?
We met last night, yes.

Where? Here.

There was a young girl with him,
wasn't there.

Yes, he brought his girlfriend.
Moira, Mary.. Something.

What's this about because
I'm already going to be late.

Then maybe we should go somewhere
quiet where we can talk.

He's some sort of financial
expert, is that right?

You could say.
I was a client of his.

I mean my company was.

What's smashing his car
up go to do with me?

So you were what, catching
up last night?

And that's a crime out here,
is it?

The guy's lost his job and his house. Does
that mean his friends should desert him?

Last night I invited him out
here for a drink to catch up.

And he brought his pretty
girlfriend with him.

There's nothing more I can tell you.
I hope that's true Mr. O'Dowd.

I know a little about
how your business works.

Guys like Kerrigan need to provide
guys like you with a lot more than

financial advice to keep you
as clients.

I'd hate to learn that he'd been providing
perks that weren't strictly legal.

You'd think running a pub across the street from
a Garda station would be less of a headache.

Then our friend Driscoll seems to work by a
different set of rules to the rest of us.

Now he's moving his cousin's
fiance into his bed.

Practically incest if you ask me.

Give my best to the super.
Bye.

Could I have a word Dennis?
Of course you can.

Dennis.

This money I owe you.
I want to sort it out.

Pay you back as soon as I can.
Okay.

It's just that I don't like being
in debt. Of course you don't.

I'm just waiting for the bank to
rubber stamp a bridging loan

off the back of the upturn
in the taxi trade.

And of course my promotion. And they're happy
to do that, without the actual posting?

Yeah. Well, it's only a matter
of time.

What's made you all doom and gloom?
Bent cops.

That bastard's locked me out
of my house.

I'll have to rent a room
off you again.

Remind me to thank Jack for
sending business my way.

Maybe you should be talking
to a solicitor again.

We can't be trusting the guards.

Hi Jack. Hi Peter.

I was hoping for a word
with Mairead.

Mairead.

You're still just going to
warn her though?

Like I said, I just need
a quick word with her.

Is everything alright with her?
In what way?

Anything bothering her?

Because she's out late at night
smashing up stranger's cars you mean.

She's just a teenager Jack.
All teenagers have their problems.

It's hard sometimes when you
don't know what you've done and

you don't seem to be able
to fix it.

We'll get through.

So, have you come to arrest me?
Not just yet. I just need a word.

Won't be long.

Evening Niall.
Jack. Everything alright?

We're fine Dad.

Turns out you lied to me about more
than one thing this morning.

If you're going to wrap my knuckles about the
insurance thing can you get it over with?

I've been to the Lodge House Hotel.

I met a man called Garret O'Dowd.

What were you doing last night?

We went to a party in Galway then
we went to the Lodge House Hotel.

According to the reception desk
you were there all night.

Tell me the truth.

It won't be you that's in trouble.

You want to know if
I had sex with him?

Did he pay you to have
sex with him?

Look like a whore then, do I?

Whatever's going on in your life
Mairead, I'm not your enemy.

I've met men like James before.

Pimps that is.

Isn't that what he is.

You don't know the first thing
about James.

I know he's on the skids.
Lost his job, his home.

Is this really what you want to do
with the rest of your life?

Taking a mean photo's not going
to get me away from here.

Is it?

Is that what James Kerrigan's
promising you?

A way out of here?

When I was your age I wanted nothing
more than to get clear of this place.

Well done on achieving your
ambition.

Mairead O'Sullivan is a prostitute?

She hasn't said as much.
She's too busy protecting him.

That's what it looks like.
But she's angry too.

He's made her some big promises.

It was a surprise to her to
find out he's homeless.

What is the story with that place
he's in? Is he renting it?

I'll get onto it first thing.
I'm babysitting.

Did you get that Pulse report back?

There you go. Thanks.

How come there's someone
taking my business Dennis?

Come on now Finbar.
Free enterprise.

Very competitive market out there.

It's about a case he was
investigating officer on.

Procuring prostitutes.

Will you ask him to give me a call?

Thanks.

Is this alright?

It's just I need proper daylight
to view the photographs.

It's fine. Do you want some help?
No, you're alright.

What's that?

Jack, you don't have to tell me
any official secrets.

I'm just interested in what you do.

I'm just digging for dirt
on a suspect.

Did you find any?
There's always dirt.

And is it part of your job
description to work all night?

Yeah.

You're already wondering what
you let yourself in for.

You're dedicated. It's good.

How's Mairead?

Is that on a need to know basis too?

She's fine.

She really stands out.

She's fallen behind in her
school work.

It's a real shame.

Troubled teenager.

Weren't we all. Were you?

Me, at her age?
God I was a mess.

Still am.
Well it's a nice mess.

You know that we're a hot topic,
don't you.

The kids were all giggling
behind my back this morning.

Does it not bother you?

Does it you?

You don't think we're moving
too fast, do you?

Right now I'd say we're
going way too slow.

Of course I understand.

Case wouldn't hold up.
Had to let him go.

Oh yeah?

So a nasty piece of work then.

It looks like he's set up shop here.

Elaine.

Mairead.

So Elaine, do you know
Sergeant Driscoll?

What's it to be then? Do I get
a caution or 10 years in jail?

I want to talk to you.

But it's a school day.
My whole future could be at stake.

Well, I do love a mystery.

How did you come to meet James?

I was walking home after school.
We started talking.

So he was hanging around your school
and just picked you up on the street.

You make it sound so sordid.

He's got a holiday home near here.
Except it's not his.

Belongs to a friend of his
who's doing him a favour.

He's calling in a lot of
favours, our James.

Your friend, Elaine.

You know she's just been with him?
He just dropped her.

She was at the holiday home.

You've got such a dirty mind.

Do you always just think
the worst of people?

I'm not thinking the worst of you
Mairead. Quite the opposite.

Oh I see. You're the good cop,
bad cop, all in one.

Just so you know, I like
the tough guy better.

The flatterer makes me want to puke.

Did he just happen to meet Elaine?

You introduced them, didn't you.

I'm his girlfriend.
Elaine's just..

Take me back to school.

Actually I thought we'd
go and talk to James.

He wants to talk to us.

This is a nice place Mr. Kerrigan.
Thank you.

He knows it isn't yours James.

No. It belongs to a friend.

I met one of your friends.
Garrett O'Dowd.

He thinks you're my pimp.

Can you believe he thinks I'd have
sex with that sleezeball?

Did you know that James had been investigated
for organising prostitution in Dublin?

Since you've been speaking
to the Gardai in Dublin,

you'll know that I've been through this
shit once and they never proved anything.

That was the real guards, by the way.
Not some narrow-minded culchie.

They didn't prove you were making
money out of it, that's all.

I'm not the legal expert here
but isn't that the point?

James can make more money in a
week than you'd make in a year.

Not making it now though, are you?

Close to bankrupt from what I hear.

The whole world economy is having
a hard time or hadn't you noticed.

It wasn't just that though.
Just the prostitution.

One of the girls,..
They were all young.

Seems that's his thing.
One of the girls got hurt.

I didn't hurt anyone. No?

It's true they never proved that
either. The girl was frightened.

Just wanted it all to be over.

Are you arresting me then Sergeant?

Come on, you know me
better than that.

Who else Mairead?

How many O'Dowds have there been?

Not that many for God's sake.
What do you take me for?

Why does everyone talk all the time
as if sex is such a big deal?

Mairead.

Do you really think someone who loved you
would ask you to have sex with those men?

Alright Mairead.

I can't force you to believe me.

Wait!

Abandoning me, are you?

PHONE.. Is that James?

What lies do you think he'll tell you
now to get you to come back?

Are you alright?

Fine.

Are you ready to tell me the truth?

That was just a pissing contest.
Why would it interest me?

You can piss higher it turns out.
So what.

Of course he doesn't love me.
Nobody does.

Don't think I buy into this
whole crap about love.

You're too young to be cynical.

I'm not cynical.
I just don't believe it.

What do you care? I do care.

You're not doing this for my sake.

It's just the law. Just your job.

You've got that uniform on and you
think you can poke your nose in.

He's a criminal Mairead and
yes, it's my job

to keep people like you
safe from people like him.

Let me out.

Let me out!

Mairead. Come down.

Please come down.

Why are you so angry at the world?

Aren't you?

Weren't you?

With certain things.

If you want me to leave it
here I will.

It's you I'm concerned about,
not the law.

Alright. On one condition.

Knew there was a catch. Convince
me he deserves your protection.

Because from where I'm standing
he doesn't deserve anything from you.

You're a beautiful, intelligent
young woman.

He's nothing Mairead.

Nothing.

Come on.

You know me. I can be wilful.

It wasn't meant to go this far.
Things just..

They just spiralled.

I promise you, he won't hurt
you again.

I'm sorry. I have to tell them.

Why? It's my life isn't it.

I'm afraid no. Not until you're 18.

I'll make us all a cup of tea.
For God's sake.

I think we better all sit down.

You were right that something
was wrong.

Mairead has.. For the last few months
I've been working as a prostitute.

The man who was in the car
accident with her. James Kerrigan.

He found her and groomed her.

He didn't groom me.
I was a tramp already.

It wasn't like he had to teach me.
Mairead.

What, you want me to play
the little innocent girl now?

Make it all palatable for
my ma and pa.

They'd see right through that.
Wouldn't you.

What do you mean exactly,
working as a prostitute?

What do you think I mean?

Fucking men for money.
Quite a lot of money.

She's the victim of this man
Kerrigan. He's the criminal.

Oh please.

I'm sorry I'm this constant
disappointment.

Then maybe that's your failure,
not mine. That's enough.

You're not to speak to your
mother like that.

We are going to deal with this.

Mairead is going to make a statement.
James Kerrigan will be arrested.

Aren't you going to tell you
how much you love me?

Whatever I've done, I'll
always be your little girl.

Of course that's what we feel.

Mairead.

Oh Jesus.

Oh Jesus Christ.

Thank you Jack.

One of you bring Mairead
to the station in the morning.

Mairead wasn't driving the car,
was she?

You should've arrested him. I'm
going to arrest him as soon as I can.

Or are you just too busy with your own
domestic arrangements to see what's going on?

I know this must be hard for you..
Do you?

When did you last find out your
daughter was being abused by a pimp?

It takes real guts to
do what she's doing here Niall.

She found herself in a situation she
didn't know how to get out of.

The truth is a lot of girls
never come back from that.

I'll see you in the morning.

Sorry Jack. I've got to get home.

Kathleen is screaming
something about a leak.

Hi. Hi.

Are you alright?

Yeah. Long day.

But you can't say any more.

What's up?

I've arranged to meet Brian tonight
to sort out the flat in Manchester.

I can cancel if you want me to.

No. As long as I've got you
to myself later.

I'll be all yours.

He's waiting inside.

Seeya Dennis.

It weren't all bad though, 7 years.

Brian, I'm sorry this hurts
you so much.

Yeah, well it does.

Just seeing you there,
right across the street.

Can we go in my room and talk?
I'd rather stay here.

I can't concentrate Gem.

Turned out to be quite a decision
coming here, didn't it.

I didn't think we'd be sat
here having this conversation.

Are you sure that staying
here is making you happy?

It doesn't seem to be.

I don't want to see you unhappy
Brian.

This is my birthright. It's what
I've been looking for my whole life.

Bullshit. You're not staying here because
you've got some deep affinity with the place.

What, and you do?

Or is it just some stupid bloody
fantasy that can actually turn you on?

Don't go Gemma. Don't.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Okay.

Please. No. No.

Stop it. Get off me.

Brian, just stop it.
Get off me!

Please don't do this. Get off.

Oh God.

What's up? Nothing.

Are you alright?
Yeah, I'm fine.

No. What happened?
Nothing. Just leave it Jack.

Just so I'm clear, are you
here as the jealous lover

or have you decided to make
this official?

Hello.

Oh Gemma.

It's Jack.

Maybe it's time you
called it a day Brian.

Is that what you think, cousin Jack?

You mean leave you in peace
so you can fuck my fiance.

What happened just now?

You think I don't know what
you want to do right now?

Free hand, you drag me in
for attempted rape.

Probably kick me about a bit too.

Is that what it was, attempted rape?

The man in uniform
can't actually protect her.

I hope you're good at forgiving
cos you're gonna need it.

Let's get back to this admission
of attempted rape.

She'll screw anything that moves
if truth be told. Oh really.

I think we should ask Gemma.

Then she'll be like, I'm so sorry
Jack. I was just so lonely Jack.

You being such a busy policeman
and her being such a slut.

Let's have a look.

Jack! Jack.

What happened?

Toby, what's going on?
It's Brian. You better go upstairs.

What happened?

I think there might be a silver
lining in this sorry mess.

What? If you get to be sergeant around here
the benefits might include the financial.

There'll be civil proceedings
and a criminal case.

Not to mention the official
ombudsman.

I think Jack Driscoll's just grievous
bodily harmed himself right out of his job.

Dennis.
Inspector. Good to see you.

I wish it was under less troubled
circumstances. Come in.

Obviously I can't be inside the
lad's head but it looked to me

like he was pretty upset from
the moment he arrived here.

As I'm sure you know, there's
a fair bit of history there too.

Bad blood you might say.

You witnessed the whole
thing Dennis?

You saw Jack Driscoll punch
Brian Doyle in the face?

I did indeed Frank.

Sir.

I'm putting you on notice Jack,
that I've been appointed by

the ombudsman to investigate
this incident.

You're officially suspended until
the investigation is complete.

Might you not as well
just fire me now then?

All depends on how the
investigation goes Jack.

It didn't happen quite like
Dennis Costello said it did Sir.

Are you telling me he's lying?

Trouble is you've been here before.
I'm saying he didn't actually see..

Do you think I want to be wasting my time
investigating this kind of hillbilly stuff?

Punching a relative in the face.

Word has it you've been
sleeping with his wife as well.

I hope she was worth it.

You're representing an
Garda Siochana.

What would your father say?

I wouldn't be going in there
just yet Finbar.

Give them a wide berth
till they're done is my advice.

Jack won't thank you for
being a witness to his humiliation.

I'm sure the inspector
can manage just fine by himself.

You look like a man
who hasn't eaten yet.

Come on in, I'll give you
a bit of breakfast.

Gardai work is off limits until my
report is finished. Understand?

I want you out of trouble
and out of my hair.

Right then. Give me your side
of things.

Just a minute.

Well, are you going to let me
through?

I can't talk to you Mairead.
Where are your parents?

What's happened?

I'm ready to make my statement now.
Can we just get it over with?

I'm in trouble Mairead.
I'm suspended. What?

It's alright. You can give
your statement to Finbar.

He'll be here in a minute.

I want to give my statement to you.
You said..

Fine.

Jack. Mairead..

What am I supposed to do now?
Talk to Finbar.

What's the problem with talking
to Finbar?

What am I supposed to do now?

Mairead!

Mairead.

You can't always be tearing your heart
out because of other people's problems.

Leave it to Finbar. He
can't be completely useless.

You're suspended Jack.

I should call her parents.

What you should do is start
giving me your side of things now.

What are you doing?

I've got important duties
I have to get back to.

I was sent down here to sort this
out and that's what I intend to do.

Now sit.

Listen now, I think you'll get
to be sergeant.

So you think they'll suspend him,
do you?

Would that be such a bad thing?

With Jack out of the way just
consider the possibilities.

Brave new world.

Might be a good time to revise
my plans for the expansion.

You mean the night club?

If you recall, in the end it
was the fire department..

I'll get the paperwork to show you.
Keep on eye on the bar for me.

I'll have a pint then Finbar.

So there you are.

I'm just filling in for a minute.

At least you do some work for
somebody.

I don't work here Sir. I was just leaving
you to have a talk with Jack in private.

That's very considerate of you
Finbar.

Well you'll be busier from now on.

While I'm doing this investigation
you'll be acting sergeant.

Of course there's no pay rise in it.
Oh right.

Still, it's an opportunity.

I know you've been sniffing around
for a nice posting so do a good job.

You might get lucky.

On the other hand, if you're
serving I'll have a pint.

The architects revised the plans.
Take a look.

Dennis. Frank.

Will you have something to eat?
Soup is vegetable.

Dennis.

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes
to figure out who you are.

Inspector O'Kane.

Dennis, is there somewhere we
can have a chat in private?

I'm sure you had every
reason to hit him Jack.

Let's just say he provoked me.

Shame he's the one with the
black eye.

You need to be getting yourself
a solicitor.

Thought you didn't believe in
throwing money away on solicitors.

Jack, are you taking this seriously?

Your father always knew how to keep
his personal affairs out of his work.

I need some air.

Now I've addressed the fire
officer's concerns I think

we can pick up where we left off.

I'll need your signature again.

Jack is not out of the picture
permanently though Dennis.

Is this not going to look
a bit indecent?

A bit of a coup d'etat.

I'll tell you what will look
indecent.

A man in your position,
sergeant in the guards,

really shouldn't have been taking
all that money from a man like me.

They were loans. No. We agreed
they weren't loans if you recall.

Loans are things you're supposed
to pay back. These were gifts.

Should be more careful. Going round accepting
gifts and you a sergeant in the guards.

No. I should wait till this
business with Jack is sorted.

He says you provoked him though. It
was all because of a woman, right?

What did he tell you?
I want to hear your version.

I'd had an argument with Gemma
so he wanted to stick his oar in.

That's just the latest thing.

You must know about he dispute over
the house his mother's living in.

Jack knows that I'm in the right
about the land so he wants

me to piss off back to England.

On the other hand you don't
like him so much.

No. But he came to me last night.
I didn't start anything.

He came round here wanting
to pick a fight.

Do you think he deliberately
provoked me?

You do realise that actually
sounds crazy?

Costello's grabbed hold of this
situation like a dog with a rabbit.

Even if I manage to keep my job,
I'll come out of this looking like

a nutcase who can't keep a lid
on his temper.

The person who's really losing
here is Mairead.

You can't fight everyone's
battles Jack.

I'm just not very good at leaving
a young girl..

Why do you have to save
everyone?

Where does it come from,
this need to be a hero?

I'm not trying to be a hero.

Have you finished your written
report on this business yet?

I'll get onto it straight away.

Of course I don't have a lot to say.

What do you make of that
Brian Doyle? PHONE RINGS..

Ah sure, he's had a hard time
of it lately.

That might explain the..

I better get that.

Garda Colvin. Sergeant Colvin
I should say.

Is she going to be alright?

I'll just be two ticks.

Kathleen..

Why on earth did you
tell him that?

Yes, the place is damp.

Just give him a few quid and tell
him I'll sort him out the next time.

I'm a bit busy here, love.

Okay. Okay.

You know, I'm glad that you feel
the need to take care of me.

But you can take care of yourself.
No, I asked you to leave it.

And just let him run
his foul mouth off?

I can't help but thinking
that your line on this is

Brian provoked me and Costello's
got it in for me.

The fact remains you hit him.

I don't know if I can handle that.

I see.

I'll ask Brian to drop the charges.

I think I can do that.

Thanks.

I'm on the top pay scale for a guard and
I'm about to be promoted to sergeant.

Does that not count for anything?

Watch where you're going!

Finbar, do you think you can
control the children for once?

I'm busy here.

Well you can ask again, can't you.

Finbar, I warned you about going
for the cheaper option.

So this is my fault, is it?

You took my money for the work is
what you did. And look at it.

But strictly speaking you
still owe me.

I'm not paying you a cent until
you fix that bloody leak.

Take it outside. Come on!

I think if we're just going to hurt
one another it's best not to.

Gemma. Finbar.

Are you alright?

Did you hear about Mairead?
What?

She tried to kill herself.

Don't worry. She needed her stomach
pumped and she was mildly hypothermic

but apparently she's going
to be alright.

Dennis, can I have a word?

Can't it wait till the morning
Finbar? No. I don't think it can.

Toby, will you finish
that off for me.

I just want to clarify a few
things about the other night.

Jack and Brian I mean,
for my report.

Whether you actually saw the whole
thing like you say you did.

You know this night club Finbar,
to be perfectly honest a part of me

thinks do I really need the
aggravation of it all.

But then I think, I don't like
being messed around.

I'd worked that out Dennis.

So I'm having my night club
just to spite the lot of ye.

I'll pay you back the money,
whether it's what you want or not.

And you have that kind of money,
do you?

I hear Mick's bleeding you dry.

The taxi business is suddenly
not so lucrative.

Did you get that loan, by the way?

Would it not be simpler
just to learn to love me?

Garda Colvin. Teresa.

Or is it Sergeant now?

Right hook like that,
Jack should be competing.

This will speed up your claim
about the land.

We could be talking weeks
instead of years.

I'll be in touch.

So what did she say about
civil proceedings?

Get the criminal case out the way
then go for it.

Do you know the best thing
about that?

The state will say Jack acted
on his own volition and

in no way with their authority.

So he's personally liable
for his actions which means

they'll hang him out to dry.

Going home then after all.

Good thing the flat's still there.

Look, I am sorry about what
happened the other night.

You know the last thing I'd want
to do is hurt you.

Are you okay?

I didn't mean to hurt you either.

It all happened so fast, too fast.

We both know that things started to
break down before we came to Ireland.

Don't press charges against Jack.

His job means everything to him.

You're asking me to be nice to him.

Unless you think you're
blameless Brian.

Actually I'm seeing a solicitor.
Jack punched me Gem.

I'm sure policemen are not supposed
to do that and get away with it.

I was just wondering if the
application was made

how likely would it be for
the council to accept it.

Just so we don't waste
each other's time.

You don't think someone
will object. Right.

How is she? James took her.

There must be something
the Gardai can do.

She's not well. She should still be in
hospital but she's checked herself out.

She's only 17. She's just
tried to kill herself.

Surely we've some say
in the matter.

Did you know she came in here
to make a statement?

You were supposed to come
with her.

Look, if you make a written complaint
Finbar can go and get her, bring her home.

So yet again it's out in public.
What did you want her to do Jack?

Stand up in court and tell
the world what she's been up to?

Not a great start in life
for a young girl.

Surely that's the lesser
of two evils.

Aine. Without a written complaint
we can't do anything.

Well at least I can hit
him for the stolen car.

Put the wheels in motion
about his driving license.

He was driving under the influence.
We're pretty sure about that.

Do what you like Finbar. You're hardly
going to send him to jail for it.

Jack.. I've had enough!

Jack. Where are you going?

Bloody hell.

She's not going home with you.
She's staying here.

Get out. She's not going with you.
She's not going with you.

Finbar! We're just leaving.
Mairead's just getting her stuff.

She doesn't want to go home
with you.

What part of that don't you
understand?

I don't care what she wants.
Mairead. Get your stuff.

You've caused enough trouble
already!

Can we all calm down a little here.

Finbar, I asked you for help.
You weren't able to give me any.

I think you need to calm down.
Mairead. Mairead!

You need to calm down or I'm going
to have to arrest you. Arrest me!

Seeya then Daddy.

Come on. Mairead!

Mairead!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. This wasn't part
of the plan.

I was married to my husband for 30 odd years.
It's tough being a guard.

You're face to face with all
that's mean and cruel in the world.

Then you've to put that aside
to come home for your tea.

But I suppose if you're not
strong enough for all that..

What kind of woman am I, is that what
you mean, to walk out on him now?

Jack can be very hard work and it's
nobody's job to hold his hand.

He's done all this to himself.
You know that Brian would him up.

Then it's time he learned not
to be so easily windable.

There was a new boy to the
area who started picking on him.

He challenged Jack to a fight
in front of the whole school.

The fight never happened.
The boy called it off.

Jack thought he'd chickened out but a few
days later he learned the real reason.

The boy had found out who
Jack's father was.

Ever since then he's been trying
to prove himself,

to make up for that humiliation
as he saw it.

He still hasn't proved himself.

Being a guard is the only way
he possibly can.

Get in the car.

I said get in the car.

Are you alright Mairead?
Mairead.

Sorry.

You look a wreck.

So, what happened you?

I went to Dad's grave.

I'm sure that pleased him.

Nothing like this ever
happened to him.

Do you know why? Cos everybody
was shit scared of him.

That's the only way to do the job
or to do the bare minimum,

like some clerk in an office. Just
something to pay the bills then..

Then what?

Your father was a good guard. That's
why nothing like this ever..

I didn't come here to argue with you.

You think the big difference
between you and your father is

that you've all these principles.

Now you're going to tell me they're stupid and
not worth believing in or that he had them too.

I never know which way
you're going to come at me.

People respected your father Jack.
And now I'm pissing on his legacy.

The truth is I've been doing
all this if I'm honest,

to prove myself to him.
And the bastard's laughing at me.

What do you want from me Jack?

To agree with you that your
father was such a terrible man?

Well I don't and he wasn't.

Or to put you on my knee
and kiss it all better?

Had he ever been violent
before the other night? No.

Not really. It's not that I
thought he was going to hurt me.

I thought I saw the same
possessiveness,

the same crazy possessiveness..
In me.

But it was something else.
It was your hero complex.

Mairead tried to kill herself.

Is she alright? No.

I really let her down.

Jack.

I'm so sorry that I ran away.

You're like no-one I've ever met.

You're a genuinely honourable man.

Maybe it doesn't matter
if I'm a guard or not.

It doesn't even matter about
the case.

What matters is that Mairead's
in trouble and I need to help her.

Everything we've ever done
we've done for her.

Every hour we've put in in the shop.

Every extra bit of work Niall's
had to find during the winter.

Every penny we earned.
Did we do something wrong Aine?

Was it something we did?

Listen to me.

She's with James Kerrigan right now
because we weren't there for her.

Any of us. The truth is
he's going to hurt her.

In fact he's hurting her already.

We've already tried to get
her to come home.

You have to fight for her
come what may.

She needs to know how
much you love her.

Mairead.

Mairead.

Mairead.

All this so I'll turn James in?

I don't care whether you testify.
That's not why I'm here.

I let you down.

Oh well.

Now I'm here to take you home.

I don't care about my job.

Turns out I'm probably finished
as a guard anyway.

Why? Cos you beat up your cousin?

Guess the law wasn't safe
with you anyway.

What do you want now?

Stupid question.

You liked it when I kissed you,
didn't you.

Isn't this what you really want?

No.

You called me beautiful
the other day.

Beautiful and intelligent you said.

You are but I'm just here
to take you home Mairead.

That's all I want from you.

You're more than this Mairead.

So much more.

You're much better than him.

Am I?

Do you mean it?

Of course I mean it.

It's time to go home now.

Here. What about Elaine?
Let's see you safe first.

You really don't care if
I testify or not?

No.

I will then.

If it's what you want.

Yeah.

Kind of useless you guards,
aren't you.

I think we have our faults, yes.

I mean you and that other one,
Finbar.

Crime's going on literally under your
noses and you can't smell a thing.

Talking about that pub
across the road from you.

Mallons. What crimes?

You know.

Brave new world Finbar.
Sign on the dotted line.

Speak of the divil.

Can I get you a drink Jack?

Yeah. I'll have a whiskey
please Dennis.

On the house. Farewell gift.

If you were just driving through here you'd
think it was such a quiet little place.

It's terrible the things that go on.

It turns out that Mairead O'Sullivan has
been selling herself as a prostitute.

God, that's awful.
How old is she? 17.

I hope you haven't been doing
some Gardai work there Jack.

Seeing as you're suspended.

I don't think Inspector O'Kane
would take too kindly to that.

In your bar though, you see.

Mairead's given us a very detailed
account of exactly who, when and where.

But as I was saying, unless an
actual guard has taken her statement

it won't be admissible in court.

Then I can go right now and take it.

Don't push your luck with me Finbar.

It won't be good for your liquor
license, that sort of thing.

Look very bad.

Right then. But we
don't have to include it.

That part of it.
We've enough on James Kerrigan.

We could take your word that you knew nothing
about what was going on in your rented rooms.

Just leave you out of it.
In return for what?

Leave off Finbar here.
Let him do his job.

What do I have to do for you?

I saw you hitting him.
No you didn't.

What the hell are you doing here?
I'm arresting you Mr. Kerrigan.

Elaine, isn't it.

You'd better have a warrant.

I'm arresting you for organising
prostitution and living on the

earnings of prostitution contrary
to The Criminal Law Act 1993.

You are not obliged to say anything.

We'll wait for your downstairs if
you want to put on some clothes.

Frank. I was just thinking..

I might've jumped the gun.

Jack Driscoll's got a bit of a
reputation and I might've

allowed that to colour my judgment.
Right.

As for that Brian Doyle,
he's just a drunk quite frankly.

Did something happen
I should know about?

God no. I've just been having
the odd pang of conscience.

Not that I've anything to be
guilty about. I just mean..

The truth is Brian probably started it
and Jack was only defending himself.

So I'm withdrawing my statement.
Right. That's my job done then.

Storm in a teacup.
A storm in a teacup Frank.

Inspector.

Looks like you scraped through.

Thank you Sir.

You and Dennis Costello
kissed and made up, have you?

I think when it comes down to it
he's an honourable man.

You'll be known from here
to Dublin as Houdini.

But in my opinion you're trouble
so I'll be..

Jack.

What's with making me meet you
here? Want to rub my nose in it?

My whole life's a bloody ruin.

I didn't mean to steal Gemma
away from you Brian.

Yeah you did. The moment you
set eyes on her.

She must hate me.

I know you think it's wrong,
pathetic even.

I know you think that.
I'm going to fight you for this.

This land is mine whether
you like it or not.

You don't need to fight me Brian.
Done enough of that.

You're welcome to it, the land.

What would I do with it anyway?

You're to leave my mother
in peace of course.

But eventually the land is yours.

In the meantime I think it's wise
that you're heading back home.

Not forever.

No. But for now.

You've given him the land,
haven't you?

You've given him the land.

What sort of Driscoll are you?

I'll see you later Mam.

Love that.

The detail you can see is amazing.

I know, it's so sharp.

And the angle cos it gives
it lots of movement.

And the colour brings it to life.

Well done anyway.

Hello.

How are you doing Sergeant Driscoll?
Good. Big success.

It's a start.
Might even let you stay.

Why thank you.

What do you think? Great.

I really love this one. Me too.

Really captures the place,
doesn't it.

Bleak but beautiful.
