Orange. It's an orange blossom reduction.

Yes.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you for the recipe.

TV.

TV.

We better call this in.

So it's looking like a peaceful protest.

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, let's move everyone inside the building just to be on the safe side.

Backup is on the way.

Aaron, this is Chief Inspector McNally.

Ma'am.

This time it's at a migrant centre on Match Hill Street.

Can you check social, see what you can find out, and have a look at the CCTV in

the local area?

Yes, Mum.

And keep me informed.

Thanks. Mum.

Here we go again.

We're going to have to move everybody inside.

But we're not hurting anybody.

I know, I know. If you'd just like to work with me here, yeah?

Until we get them to leave.

Everyone, we need to go inside.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to make your way inside, please,

slowly. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Make your way inside.

I'm sorry, can you put that away, please?

No. This is the only way to make them listen to us about what's happening to

this area. If you care about your community, come and join us on Machill

Street.

Hello?

Mum, we may have a problem.

What sort of problem?

I'm looking at the hashtag on socials for this protest, Mum.

There's a post from an account in the south saying there's a group of

Republicans in Dublin on their way north.

What does it say?

It just says we're going to put a stop to this bollocks.

Who are they?

The account's anonymous.

So you're telling me that a group of southern Republicans are on their way to

a loyalist area?

It looks that way, ma'am.

Okay, get me some air cover. We're going to need all the eyes we have on this

now. I'm on my way.

That's class.

Do you have any special talents, would you say?

Or are you just a pretty face?

Shut up, Shane.

Why, do you?

Robotic dancing.

What?

You know.

The robot.

Is that your man?

No.

okay sit down where are we mom we've spotted a group leaving the train

station carrying irish tri-colors and social media engagements tripled keep

tracking them thank you okay i need a free call sign in the city center look

at now ma'am thank you are they engaged

76, this is Chief Inspector McNally.

What the hell are you doing?

Behind you.

Higher.

Higher.

I need you in the corner of Match Hill Street and Broomford Street in about two

minutes. Confirm when in situ.

I'll do that.

Okay.

Can I get six tangies in the vicinity of Match Hill Street?

Mum, we don't have six available.

How many do we have?

Only half a unit, Mum.

Three. And an EGT vehicle.

If they walk into a loyalist area carrying those flags, there's going to

be a riot.

Response can't deal with this if it turns violent. We need more TSGs.

Get me DCI Collins from C3.

Get him up to speed. I need him here.

We have... I know.

It's okay, guys. You can sit down.

As of this moment, you're silver control.

Who's your bronze?

Helen? Are you pointing bronze?

Ma'am, you must be joking, but there must be someone else.

But hang on, just think about this for a second.

Call signs from Silver. Sergeant Neil is bronze one.

Air cover online.

Bronze one from Silver. Sitrep.

The crowd are getting more agitated, but they're not trying to gain access to the

property. You need to clear that building before the others arrive.

Roger. You okay here on your own?

Oh, yeah.

Definitely.

Let's get this area cordoned off. I want posts here and here. Let's get inside

the building and clear while we still can, okay?

Green TSG on site, ma'am.

7-6, sitrep.

Silver from 7-6 in position, ma'am.

Dolly mixtures.

Dolly mixtures.

Dolly mixtures.

He's ready to go, yeah?

We're always ready to go.

Silverton 3-1, that's arrival on Match Hill Street.

Right, you want us to block traffic, yeah? You should be doing this, you're

bronze trained.

This one's all yours.

Good luck, yeah?

We have a visual on the group now, walking in the direction of Matchill

Street.

How much time do we have?

Three, four minutes tops.

Don't stop them yet. We'll do it when we have the resources.

Roger that.

Jesus, that's brave around here.

Orange on green.

Helen, it could go completely... I know, ma'am.

Bronze One from Silver, sit rep on clearing that building.

We need to get you out of here. Get us out?

I'm sorry, we're not leaving.

Sorry, you want us to run, Constable Conlon?

We've been running all our lives. There's nowhere left to go.

France 1 from 7-4, we have a bit of an issue.

I'm honestly going to... What is it, Ollie? I'm Aisling. I'm going to tell

you what's happening here.

Hold on a minute, Skipper.

Outside your front door there are two groups that are coming together and if

it all kicks off there could be a full-blown riot with all of you in the

middle of it.

Now is not the time to be standing on your principles.

Excuse me?

All that matters is making the right decision.

Not for you.

For them.

Take them.

But I want to stay.

Fine. But can you help us get them out?

Yes. All right.

All right, fellas.

Right.

We have a right to protest.

Come on, tell them what you think.

Listen, listen, can you just work with us here, all right? Stop streaming. Why?

Nobody ever watched the box.

What's happening? Jesus, Collie, you tell me. We're flying fucking blind

here. Okay, give me two minutes.

You have won.

Silver from bronze won. We have a visual.

But the chairperson delayed us. We haven't got them out of that building.

Silver from Bronze One, did you receive?

Over.

Look who's here.

Eugene, we've got an organised group from Dublin heading towards a shit tonne

of union flags.

Who are they and what are they doing up here?

Okay, Annie, we've got a safe passage. You can bring them out now. Let's clear

them out. Come on.

All

right,

sir.

We'll just go all the way to the end.

Come on.

Collie? Uh-huh, yeah?

Collie.

Right. Got it.

Ma'am.

Bronze one from Silver. Let them pass.

What?

Let them pass.

But, ma'am... Do it.

Let them pass.

Right wing nationalist group from West Dublin.

This is organised online.

They're on the same side.

Why weren't we told they were coming?

Bronze One from Silver, they are a right-wing nationalist group. You need

to protect that building. OK, let's go.

Roger that, ma'am.

Fucking hell, mate.

What?

Great to see the old peace process in action.

Why are they still here? They want to stay, apparently.

Get them back inside now.

Amira, you're inflaming the situation here. We're inflaming the situation?

We have two TSGs tied up on Op Harvest today.

I need them to disperse that crowd. I need a full unit. They're assigned to

C3. Ma'am. Ma'am, I think... You think what? I think we have masked men

inbound. Please echo Golf 1 live feed Lomond Street.

Ma'am, and also Matchell Street, seven or eight of them.

Who are they? Bronze 1 from Silver, we have multiple masked individuals

approaching towards the rear of the protest.

Missiles thrown.

Bronze 1 from Silver, deploy TSG to the rear of the protest.

Helen, you can't send in half a unit.

What choice do I have?

Ah, you fascist pigs!

Do further warning and we'll be given.

Who's attacking that protest?

Ma'am, we've ID'd an emblem.

A shoulder patch group called the Anti-Fascist Initiative.

On our radar?

I need those TSGs. Whatever you're doing in Harvest needs to stand down now. This

is Article 2.

So are we. We need them for standby surveillance.

Ma'am!

Collie, you can release those TSGs or I can send it up the line.

Your call.

Stand down. I'll power this tasking on the authority of DCI Collins. Send the

assets here.

Cover this side.

Right. I need you to hold the back of my flakie. Hold it tight. All right?

Let's go.

Move! Move!

Move! Move! Move!

Move! Move! Move!

Move! Move! Move!

Move!

Move!

Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!

3-1 from control. Ambulance passed to TTI 45.

ETA and back up to SG?

Reds are en route, ma'am. Three minutes.

Silver from Bronze 1, they're pushing forward.

Trying to get away from the missiles.

We've got to stop the crush.

Silver from Bronze 1, did you receive?

If we break that cordon, they can go straight into that building.

We can't hold them there, they're sitting ducks.

Green 3 from Silver, fall back and release uniform and wait out.

We're going to let the protesters into the yard.

You really want to weaken your front line?

Back into the courtyard.

That's us now. New court informed.

What they've done to us?

Look what they've fucking done to us!

Silver from Rose 1, they're inside.

Protesters are safe in the courtyard, ma'am. Gordon holding up.

TSG's vulnerable.

TSG backup?

One minute.

Peace.

The Reds have control, Mom.

Okay.

Okay.

Skipper, Skipper, are you okay?

See me in my office, as soon as you can. Silver from Bronze 1, they're

dispersing.

Are you okay?

Look... I know it's not easy.

Do you?

Have you been here long?

Or... Does it matter?

Sorry, I just, uh... It's fine.

Nine years.

We left during the war in Syria.

My brother and me.

I'm the only one who made it out.

in a camp in Lebanon.

Then they sent me here.

I was 20.

When I arrived... I work at the university.

I'm a librarian.

It's gonna be okay.

We're lit?

Anything?

We're running on empty here, Collie.

C4 had to withdraw the extra surveillance.

I know right, I fucking know.

So what do we have left?

So here, one fixed camera, one external, one audio asset.

Right.

Shit.

Long time no see, Mrs. McIntyre. All work and no play, Jackie.

Mrs. McIntyre, so good to see you again. Nice to see you too.

Some tea?

Pina Colada.

You keeping well?

The very best.

And yourself?

The weather gets to me sometimes.

You know, I think sometimes if we had Spanish weather, we'd never had the

troubles.

Although, that does beg the question of the Spanish Civil War.

But that didn't last 30 years, did it?

No way.

Well, it was too nice.

They're giving us fuck all.

Patience is a virtue, Collie.

Have it if you can.

Find seldom in a woman and never in a man.

How long's it been?

Four months, two weeks, three days.

They know.

They what?

They know.

They've known all along.

Look at the demo.

It's a pantomime.

What do twanky?

An evil queen.

And right now I'm fucking buttons.

Come in Helen.

Have a seat.

Thoughts?

It was a disaster.

Go on.

There will be edited highlights on social media.

It will be spun to say we bottled in the protesters deliberately, making them

sitting ducks, political policing.

Added to which we knew nothing about the protests, the Dublin contingent or the

people who attacked them.

We were dangerously understaffed.

And those officers who were injured would be justified in coming after us

for compensation claims.

You made a lot of decisions in the moment.

Big ones.

I understand if you want to refer it upwards, ma'am.

I thought you were superb.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'm going to share some information with you, Helen.

It's highly confidential.

The organisation is headed for a major restructure.

Realignment of districts, consolidation of assets.

I've been given the nod to apply for the role of Assistant Chief Constable.

Congratulations, ma'am.

I'm going to need somebody I trust at my side, at headquarters.

I want that person to be you.

I don't know what to say, ma'am.

Usually that means you don't yet know how to say no.

I appreciate the offer, ma'am, I do.

But I've barely got my feet under the table here.

I'm managing the uniform side of Up Harvest. Which to date has harvested

what exactly?

Ma'am, there's been a lot of changes for me over the last couple of years, and I

think right now I need to be here.

But that's the thing, Helen. In a few months' time, there may not be a here.

They're looking at closing Blackthorn.

Sarge?

Looks nasty.

You want to get that checked?

Nah. Stop bleeding.

See, that's the difference between me and you.

In class.

Very good. Very good.

All call signs are in control.

Bronze is step down. Silver is signing off.

Thank God for that.

Oh, yeah.

Hello? Yeah, no, that's me.

You what?

I passed.

I passed.

No, no, that's... No, thank you.

Thank you.

Don't tell anyone.

Of course, I'm not going to tell anyone.

Okay, everybody, could you just gather around, please? I have an announcement

to make. I am pleased to report that Constable Grace Ellis is now

officially Detective Constable Grace Ellis.

Hip,

hip! Hooray!

Hip, hip!

Hooray! Hip, hip!

Hooray! You little dickhead.

This can't be real. It can't be true. I mean, we're already running on a

skeleton crew and they want to close a police station.

It's a numbers game.

How do you mean? The quarterly crime stats.

Blackthorne is bottom of the table.

The thinking is we consolidate our estate.

If your station's doing a better job, we can get those statistics where they need

to be.

They've made the decision?

Not quite. It's in consultation, but it's clear which way the wind is

blowing.

It's madness.

It's life.

And you're the only one who benefits.

Excuse me?

You move up and we move out. Was that the deal?

Are you suggesting... That you would do anything to get to the top table?

You're dismissed.

No. No. Excuse me?

No, I am not going anywhere and neither is anybody else.

For God's sake. If you think I'm going to sit in my arse and let this

organisation destroy this station at the stroke of a fucking keyboard...

You're sorely mistaken.

Like I said, this information is highly confidential.

You breathe a word.

Don't worry, Mel. I am not as stupid as you think I am.

Helen. If it's a numbers game, then fine. Let's play a numbers game.

A few days off from

McCluskey, huh?

I know.

Flip me.

Looks odd, like...

Honey, shit.

I need you to deliver this.

TM1? Yeah.

Amira Saeed?

Is that the... Chairperson of the Migrant Centre, yeah.

She's under threat.

Her name and face are all over socials. And not the good socials.

Okay. What are we going to do to help her?

We give her the leaflet.

Skip her.

Honey, I know.

Just let me know when it's delivered, yeah?

Well, I suppose you better pick up a leaflet.

Fuck's sake.

You've got to be fucking joking. I have no choice.

May I remind you, you're supposed to be supporting Up Harvest, not skinning it

alive. District is priority. I made that clear in my submission.

Your submission?

You went over my head.

In case you haven't noticed, we have a racial violence problem on our doorstep

and your department dropped the ball on it today, twice.

I need those TSGs to tidy up your mess.

What in God's name is going on with you?

This is a cartel, Helen.

A fucking cartel.

Mexico, Trinidad, Ireland, UK, you know that.

And you know who's behind it. Yeah, we know and we can't prove, Collie. Same as

it's always been. Same as it always will be.

I need to put our assets where they can make the most difference. That is my

job.

Fuck!

Statistics?

Stopping searches, drink driving, clearance rates and all volume crime. We

need to get the numbers up before the next quarterly report.

Why?

Because it's our job. Helen, we've just had a major public order incident.

Like, surely we should be getting into those areas, talking to people. Sandra,

we need to get the stats up.

Starting now.

OK.

Right. And put a temporary hold on any transfers or succumbents. We need

everybody we have.

Fill in every call sign we can muster.

Mom, Grace Ellis just passed the detective's exam.

She's due to start in child protection on Monday.

No.

No, we need her here.

I'm sorry.

Grace? Mum?

Everything alright?

I need to delay your transfer.

Delay? Until when?

Indefinitely. Sorry, what?

You're needed here.

No, I've just been offered a job. I'll start next week. Grace, I'm sorry.

Why?

It's operational.

So what does that mean?

Grace, you're needed here.

That's all I can say.

Been mad?

Was, yeah.

I've seen.

Can we talk? I have a thing to cut in here. It'll only take a minute.

So you said a couple of weeks ago that you just needed some time to think, to

get your head around things.

I did, aye.

So I was wondering, how much time do you need?

Could we maybe go for a drink or something, or have a chat about

everything?

Um... Tommy, I need to tell you something.

Um...

Before

I came back, I, um... I asked to go back to Derry.

But they, um, they said that they... they were short-staffed, so they needed

me here.

To Derry?

What, so, so you... So, um... I think I knew then, but I just, I didn't

know how.

I can't do this with you.

I can't do it anymore.

Arsene, hang on for a second, OK? You just need more time, and that's fine.

No. Honestly, Arsene, I... No, I don't need more time. I know.

I, um... I think I was just scared.

I didn't know how to... Martin, you can't do this to me, please.

You can't make a decision like this. You've only been back for three weeks. I

can, and I have.

Are you still angry at me?

I'm not angry with you at all.

Tommy, I'm not angry with you at all. You did the right thing. So why are you

doing this to me then?

Why are you punishing me like this, Ashley? It's too close, Tommy. It's far

too close.

Surely you can see that as well.

Listen to me, okay?

So... What about this, right? Why don't you take the transfer?

Okay? And go to Derry or go, go, go anywhere.

I'm not waiting till this pa- No, please listen to me, Tommy.

Aisling, please don't do this. I don't mean physically close. I mean, it's just

I... I don't have room for this.

What?

I don't have room for this, Tommy. I don't have room for the emotions.

And I'm not going to. I need to be on my own.

I'm sorry.

Ashley, the public order inquiry team are going to need your body, won't you?

I've uploaded a skipper.

They need a statement?

Yeah, I've done that too.

You have?

All right, see you tomorrow.

You got your footage on the system?

Not yet.

All right, well, make sure you do, yeah?

You did well today.

Saved a man's life.

Listen.

What are you doing this evening?

This evening?

Stop watching that shit.

That's from your dad?

It's open.

You want to do that?

He's, um, wishing you all the best for the tribe.

Wishing me all the best.

Meaning keep my mouth shut.

The fuck you doing, eh?

You're on bail, you're not supposed to be drinking.

Not supposed to drink, not supposed to go out, not supposed to have a drink.

Shut your fucking mouth, you don't know who's listening. Tell me, tell me this.

When did I start for that?

And for you, because you were in on it too.

You must have been.

So go on, tell me.

When did you first become a fucking type? You talk like that, you're gonna

get yourself fucking killed!

You ready?

Let's just get this over with.

Yes? Amira, do you mind if we come in?

Can you tell me why?

We're here to deliver a form called the TM1.

It's a notification of an active threat against you and possibly your home.

From who? Who is it?

Okay, so all we know is what it says there.

What it says here is that somebody means to do me harm.

Who?

I'm sorry, Amira. That's all they tell us.

So what am I supposed to do?

There's some security advice in this.

Lock the doors.

Pull the curtains.

You can protect me, though, right?

I mean, we can't physically do that. What do you mean you can't physically do

it? Someone wants to hurt me and you give me a leaflet? Amira. Have you any

idea what it's like to be told this? Have you any idea what you're saying to

me right now?

Amira, we can't offer you passing attention.

Passing attention?

Yes. It's where we drive by now and again. We make sure everything's okay.

I live here by myself.

What's this?

It's my personal phone number.

Annie.

Listen.

If you call 999, they won't send an immediate call sign.

Unless there's actually something happening outside, and that's too late.

So if you see anything, anything suspicious, or if you're worried about

anything, just call me.

Anytime, okay?

And if I'm not on shift,

I'll find someone who is.

What the actual fuck?

Just leave it, Shane.

Annie. Your personal mobile.

You mad? I said fucking leave it.

Okay?

I get it.

Okay?

I get it. I'm not stupid.

Did you ever look into it?

Into what?

When you said those two other cops got the same threat you did.

Did you ever find out more?

What's the point?

I can never go back home.

Two seconds.

Another pocket, emptied.

You'll get there, Chris.

I thought I was there.

I suppose this is how it happens.

How what happens?

How you lose faith.

You're not allowed to.

Why not?

Because if you lose faith, we all do.

Well, shall we go home?

Yeah.

So long.

Jerry loved his music.

He sure did.

Thank you.

It's not easy.

What is it?

Losing someone, however it happens.

The trial starts next week and

I'm gonna have to give evidence because I was the custody sergeant.

that they're gonna ask me about him.

And even now, I haven't got the words for what he

meant.

Can I give you some advice?

Turn up on time.

Go home on time.

And just do the job.

Until you feel you can breathe again.

Maybe the job's the problem.

What do you mean?

Well, it gives you things.

Aisling.

Gerry.

And then it takes them away ten times over.

I just feel...

You feel what?

I just feel like I've got nothing left to lose.

Here. Sorry.

Oh, yeah.

Best rule of Blackthorn. Never, ever celebrate.

Right, your choice.

Hey.

Oh, thank you very much.

Come on then.

Hello?

Yep.

Okay. Amira?

Yep.

Amira, calm down, okay? Listen to me.

They're knocking on the windows. They're knocking on the doors. Can you come? Can

you come now? I need help. Okay, right.

Lock the doors, Amira. Lock the doors. Lock everything. We're on our way, okay?

Okay. It's going to be fine, okay? Okay. Yeah.

Fuck, Breslin Street.

You need to go to Breslin Street.

Right here here man holds a mystery someone else holds the key

Fuck away, off!

Shit!

Arnie, we need to back up here right away. Can you hear me? Over?

Roger that, 7-6.

What?

Come on! Yeah!

Fire in your eyes, in your head, firing.

Open up!

Open up, please!

OK, call her.

Shift my phones in the car.

I'm gonna get off. Grace, you can't just go. I'm gonna get off this. I'm gonna

wrap around my hands.

Quickly.

Jesus Christ.

Here,

take these. Take these.

Emilia, there's a place.

Open the door.

Shift. Grace, fuck.

Open the door, yeah?

Just open the door. We just need the help again. Get back! Stay where you

are! Go back!

I'm scared.

I can't.

Mary, just open the door! Now!

Now!

Get in! Get in!

I need you to get away from the door.

Get away from the door again.

Just hide down.

Uniform from 7-6, we're in number 25 bread street, there's a hostile client

outside, over.
