I'm gonna touch!

I'm gonna touch!

This is your fault! You did this!

Look. Look what they've done to us.

It's gonna be okay.

Will it?

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

I need to be on my own. I'm sorry.

Gonna share some information with you, Helen.

The quarterly crime stats?

Blackthorn is bottom of the table.

We're already running on a skeleton crew and they wanna close a police station.

Fine, let's play a numbers game.

You're on bail. You're not supposed to be drinking. I'm not supposed to drink.

I'm not supposed to go out. I'm not supposed to tell the truth.

You're so dramatic. I don't know who's listening.

Mira! I know you're in there. Mira, calm down. Block everything. We're on our

way. The dealers are here!

I don't know. We're not going to find another way.

Get back!

Get in! Get in! Get back!

It's all right. It's all right.

Maybe something to lighten the mood, mate.

No, just leave it.

7-4 from uniform.

Backup needed urgently at 25 Breslin Street.

Officer's being attacked by a hostile crowd.

Over. Shit.

7-4 from uniform.

TSDs are five minutes out. Wait out. Repeat.

Wait out.

How's the panel?

Back up! Back up! Back up!

Get back!

Stay back!

Fall in.

What's the protocol?

We get caught on the way to the terminal, we take on the pillars if we

can, and we get out of there and we leave the gear behind.

And? They catch us, we say you never knew half and about it. And then?

We take the rap and we do our time.

Or else?

Or else we're fucked.

The gear gets here from Dublin in 15 minutes. I want it squared away.

Quickly.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Listen, Amira.

Do you have any friends somewhere?

Any relatives?

No, it's just me.

Okay.

Well, we're trying to get you a place to stay.

Somewhere safe.

You know, Constable, my whole life, every time I think

I'm somewhere safe, turns out I'm mistaken.

Hey, no, no.

You don't need to film this. You really don't.

It's a public place, no?

I can do whatever I want.

I just want to talk to you.

Just for a minute.

Please?

You know, someone could have got killed there today.

Yeah.

With a pile of shit in their guns.

I'm sure somebody could have.

Listen, Katie... How do you know my name?

Well, you're famous, aren't you?

You've got 37,000 followers on social media.

That's impressive.

Yep.

Okay, perfect.

Yeah, that's grand. Thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Just have to get the sign off from the doctor.

Okay.

Thanks.

Okay.

When they discharge you, ring this number.

It's a shared hostel, but you get your own room.

I need my things.

72 from Uniform, you back on the ground. Over.

Yeah, hold on, Barney. I just need a few more minutes.

Amir, it's not safe.

There's things, personal things, I need them.

Roger that, yeah.

Just don't go there without me.

I'll call you.

That house that was attacked, the young woman.

I didn't attack anyone.

Well, you don't need to. Not physically.

But you need to be careful who you... Who's threatening me?

No.

No, I'm not threatening you.

I just want to understand... why you do it.

You know, you're smart.

You're young.

You could do anything.

You mean I could... I could leave?

No. No, that's not what I mean. I don't want to leave.

This is my home. Well, it used to be.

Well, tell me then, how do you mean?

That new migrant centre used to be my primary school.

Yeah, but that's not why it closed.

People can't get houses in their own areas anymore.

Oh, well, no, you can, right?

If you just got here yesterday.

Katie, look, this whole thing, it really isn't that simple.

Is it not? No?

OK, well, here's one for you.

There's a summer scheme.

It runs at the leisure centre, keeps kids off the street.

I used to do it when I was a wee girl and there was room for about 50-odd

kids.

Last summer.

Do you know how many local kids got a spot?

Three.

So, look, here's the thing.

I mean, I'm sure you live in a lovely middle-class area where nothing

ever changes.

And if anyone ever dared try to change anything, youse wouldn't have it.

But see, when it comes to us, they do whatever the fuck they want.

Have you ever thought just about how it makes people feel?

How it makes people feel?

Yeah.

When was the last time anybody ever cared about how it's making us feel?

You don't.

Do you?

Because it doesn't really matter.

Grace? We have to go.

Yeah. Yeah, better.

Sorry, sir.

Can I have a quick word?

Who are you?

Constable Bradley.

Response? Any intelligence for Operation Harvest has to go through the system.

Yeah, I know that.

I mean, it's a busy day today.

Send an email or something.

Sir, it was more of a question.

I'm C3, lad.

I don't answer questions, I ask them.

What's about those threats that were issued to officers on the north coast

last year?

Oh, yeah?

One of them was a mate of mine.

I was just wondering if, like...

I was just wondering what the latest is with that.

So let me get this right.

You're asking for a sensitive intelligence briefing on a stairwell for

a mate of yours?

I... Yeah.

Give us a look at your head.

Bend forward.

Yeah, seems intact.

Fucking weird.

The ombudsman's here already, but you have to see the fed rep first, okay?

Fed rep?

Federation membership is like an insurance policy that you're about to

cash in on. Just let him take the lead, okay?

So, Constable Foster, you fired a round at this guy?

Surprised you didn't miss.

I'll, uh... Yeah.

Skipper? How is he?

He's seen the poem.

He's with the third rep. They're in the ombudsman. No, I said, how is he?

He's not himself.

But then again, you wouldn't be, would you?

Okay, first of all, Constable Foster will be exercising his right to postpone

this interview for two days to allow engagement with the Police Federation.

So perhaps if you... After which, we reserve the right to engage a Federation

solicitor who will be the first point of contact.

If you can just let me... And we insist our member be allowed full access to all

and any materials.

Sarge.

Thank you.

Sergeant McCluskey.

I will be recording this interview.

So I've reviewed the body-worn footage from you and Constable Bradley.

I just have one question to put to you. No questions today.

Come on, let's go.

Go ahead.

Why didn't you shout a warning?

You don't have to answer that.

They were about to throw a petrol bomb.

If I had shouted a warning and they hadn't heard me because of the noise of

the crowd, they would have thrown it.

And you would have had me in here asking me why I didn't do something.

Fill out a use of force form.

and get back to work.

We'll get this cleared up very quickly.

I must say, I thought you'd be more relieved.

I don't really feel anything.

Look after yourself.

We showed her, didn't we?

Tommy.

Well?

It's fine.

Back to work.

You need a few days off.

No, I don't.

Looks justified to me.

Yeah, looks like the Ombudsman got it right for once.

I see you've called an all-hands briefing this afternoon to lay out the

new strategy.

It's not going to work, Helen.

Blackthorne's card is marked.

I'm not going down without a fight, Mum.

Don't you think I am?

You know, Helen...

The reason I only had one child was because I didn't want to let another

pregnancy stand in the way of promotion.

And then I worked so hard, my daughter and I never really formed a bond.

Not the way we should have.

Sitting in this chair came at a price.

Sometimes the price is you have to sacrifice things.

Let it happen, Helen.

Let it go.

Ma'am, closing this station, even considering it, is a terrible idea.

I won't stand over it.

I suppose in the end you and I are just very different people.

Yes, ma'am, I suppose we are.

They'll hate you for it.

Who?

Your own people.

You'll work them to the bone trying to get the numbers up, trying to save this

place.

They'll hate you for it.

All I ask, Mum, is that you let me try.

Wakey, wakey!

You gonna land your pet all day?

How is business?

Get into the office.

What?

Right, everybody inside.

Don't move.

So, look, I've got a question for you here, and I want you to answer me

honestly, OK?

Shut up.

Put your face up. I'm not wearing a fucking wife.

Shut up.

You hey?

Huh? You fucking hey?

Dick.

Fuck off.

What are you doing here?

We're in the middle of a job.

You know, my ma, she reckons you're a genius.

Like, why use boats when you can just use buses?

Right?

You're not gonna get yourself hurt, no.

Yeah, but you're not gonna hurt me, are you?

You can't do fuck all.

So, look, here's my question for you, Lee.

So, I know my dad was a tout, right? Cos he told me.

And then I know my ma was a tout.

Sorry, is a type.

Like 20 years thinking one thing and then...

Isn't that mad?

That is mad, isn't it?

Both your parts, what are the chances?

So, here's my question to you.

Are you a tout?

I mean, is that kind of what you just have to be around here to get things

done? Shut up.

You need to shut up.

Firefighter. Ever.

So you set foot in this place again.

I'll fucking kill you.

Cancel my ticket.

Shake customer service.

I'm gonna walk.

Sorry, when you say crime stats... Drink driving, drug possession, assaults, all

of it.

We're way behind every other station.

It has to change.

Er, Skipper, are we going to look into Katie Close?

She's the one that's been doing all this filming.

I talked to her. Headquarters are standing up a neighbourhood team. If

they feel there's enough evidence to arrest her, they will.

Well, I don't mean arrest, but surely we should be doing something.

Grace.

There's a system.

But there's not going to be any arrests of anyone from the protest?

Public order and inquiry team are reviewing the footage. If they feel they

have enough evidence, they'll make a move.

When will that be?

So what, we're just going out looking for ball tires now, is it?

Yes.

Thank you.

The simple fact is we've dropped the ball in the numbers.

There's nobody to blame. God knows we've had plenty of other things to deal with,

but at the end of the day, it matters.

It matters because when we start getting the small things right, they start to

affect the big things.

Checkpoints don't just identify bald tires, they can reveal the movements of

criminals, Opgulliver nominals.

Arresting someone for even a small amount of drugs can lead us to valuable

intel.

Most people convicted of assault are repeat offenders.

Seven, eight convictions to their name. You start going after them and suddenly

this city's a lot safer for the people walking down the street.

It all adds up.

All of it.

There's a saying here in Blackthorne introduced many years ago by Jerry

Cliff.

Sharp eyes save lives.

And we say it these days without even...

Thinking about what it means.

It means we notice everything.

Right down to a ball tire.

Because it matters.

Thank you.

Okay.

Call signs are...

All the same, apart from a couple of changes this morning.

Annie and Shane, you're on seven zero.

Seven two, that's Aisling and Tommy.

Grace, you're now with me.

Sharp eyes save lives.

Good luck, man.

It was that neighbor who called.

Said there's been no sign of her since yesterday.

We'll check the front and I'll check the six.

I asked for this, you know.

What? Your call sign.

Why?

We're not finished talking.

Ashton, any sign of life? Your side?

Negative. No signs on mine.

Roger.

I'm going to put this door in on an Article 19.

Copy that.

Smashy, smashy, breaky, breaky, eh?

Hello?

Hello, police?

Hello, is anybody home?

Police?

It's the place, anybody here?

Hello?

Okay, it's the police. Come out now.

It's the police. Open the door now. I heard police.

Open the door.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. I'm Tommy.

Let's get you out of there. Come on.

Listen, my name's Tommy, okay? It's okay.

Tommy!

In here.

Let's get you out of there.

You're okay.

You're all right, you're all right, you're all right. Just breathe.

You're okay.

Entering Carrickview, Craig Mill Road, sir.

Bringing it all back home.

Where are they?

Fuck are you?

Is that a phone ringing?

Yes, sir.

Don't say anything.

Are we up on this?

No, sir.

It's a different handset.

We can hear her side through the live mic on the other phone, but that's it.

Why isn't she talking?

If you want me to keep doing this for you, then you had better find him and

sort him out. Because if you don't, I will.

No. I have no idea where he's going.

Who was that?

Who the fuck was that?

Little bollocks.

She's dehydrated.

You saw the mess.

We're going to take her in.

How long was she in there for?

Too long.

Can we... Can we talk to her?

You gave us quite the fright there, Alice.

Were you alright to talk to me?

Can you tell me what happened?

I thought I saw something at the window.

I was in bed.

Right.

Well, what did you see?

A man.

I thought it was a man.

Why didn't you call us?

I don't have one of them mobiles.

Just a phone in the hall.

And I wasn't sure, love.

And there was a knock at the window.

How long do you think he was there for?

I don't know.

Maybe hours.

When it eventually stopped, I ran to the wardrobe.

Listen, you're safe now.

Okay?

You're safe now, Alison.

Oh, ding dong.

All right?

We'll see you around here for a while.

Yeah, I've just been keeping busy, you know.

Actually, maybe I'll go on through with it.

The neighbours said they'll keep an eye out.

What are they?

The house keys.

I told her we'd lock up and bring it back to her later.

7-2 from Uniform, you active yet? Looking to join the VCP.

Uniform from 7-2 negative, we're going to be away well yet.

Those were the days, eh?

I said, those were the days.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

You're John O'Boyle, aren't you?

You used to know my dad back in the day.

James McIntyre?

That's right.

Good soldier.

He was alright.

Good soldier.

A very good soldier.

Are you still doing time?

He is alright.

How come you're alright?

Today's next week.

One last rager, eh?

Aye.

One last rager.

Ray, a pint for this man and a pint for me. Listen, might as well leave him

alone. No, you listen.

You know how I am, don't you?

I heard about what happened.

And I'm sorry.

Your Ciaran was a year below me at school and he was a really good lad.

Why do these things happen, you know?

Like, why him?

You know, like, your Ciaran's a good lad and then you got all these fucking

dickheads walking around acting like nothing can touch them. I just... It's

not fair.

Life's not fair.

Lad. That's enough.

Ray! Are we doing it?

Are we doing it, John? Well, well. Two whiskeys, please, barman, okay?

And I'm gonna take a piss, cos I am busting.

There were no lines.

Between work and home.

Between how I felt about you and how I felt about all this.

What do you mean?

Do you remember when we first met at the firearms test?

And our jobs were on the line and it was just pure stress and fear.

The first night we got together, you were after getting your head kicked out

in a nightclub.

We started having problems after I saw Ciaran die at the car crash.

It's not normal, Tommy.

Everything we had we built in chaos and...

I

need order.

Tommy, I need it.

And the thing is, so do you.

It was still good though, Ashley.

It was.

It

was still

good.

Was it worth it?

It was well worth it.

The struggle?

The struggle's not over.

I like that, John.

Mate, why don't you take your cell phone up the road?

Oh, I like that.

I like that, John.

You're old school, aren't you?

Pair of the fucking old school, man.

That's good.

Oh look, there he is.

There's my da.

Handsome bastard, wasn't he back in his day?

What was it you said, John?

Good soldier?

If only he knew.

You're fucking weird.

You're a pest, what's the difference?

He looks about my age there, doesn't he?

Maybe that was before he started.

It's hard to tell.

Still had one.

Working with the Brits.

You better watch your mouth.

You're talking shit.

Tina, it's Joe McGirt from the Voltaire's.

Your lad's here.

He's off his head and he's running his mouth.

Stand by, stand by.

Renegade. Sudden change of direction. Over. Can we get a team on the ground

right now? No way, Collie. Not enough time.

Jesus Christ.

Collie!

Collie!

Collie! If I could just... If I could what? Get the fuck out of here.

You don't know what you're saying.

Do you think so?

Because I grew up, John, believing everything I was told.

About the struggle, how we fought the Brits to a stalemate, brought them to

the table, every single word.

And then my dad, the day we were scooped, actually, he turns round to me,

he turns to me and he says that he'd been working with the Brits for years.

Informing on people.

People like you, John.

Like I'm terribly good, man. And my man knew all about it. Good soldier.

Can you imagine what that does to your head? Can you imagine?

You! Out the fuck! Look, I know, lads, I know how hard that is to hear. Nobody

knows that more than me.

But maybe yous were all at it, were yous? Were yous both at it?

You'd love to know, though, wouldn't you?

You'd love to know the fucking numbers, John.

Did you know I pulled you over today, sir?

No.

You crossed in front of us back there without indicating.

Have you had any alcohol today?

No, Constable, no.

Okay.

When was the last time you had a drink of alcohol?

Christmas Day 2003.

But that was a mistake.

He thought it was grape juice, but it was wine.

He was mortified.

He's a pioneer, you see.

A pioneer, you see.

Oh, a pioneer.

Fucking... What's that, Constable? Oh, nothing, nothing.

Look, this, um, this driving without you caring attention... It's my fault,

Constable. I was talking to him about my hip.

Okay, just be a bit more careful next time, all right?

Yes, Constable. And thank you, Constable.

You're welcome.

Okay, thank you.

How'd that work out for you?

Like I would have been like drowning a kitten.

You big softy.

Ah, you know me, heart of gold.

This is fucking bullshit.

Isn't it always?

She wants to head back to her house.

Amira, she needs to get a few things.

It's not safe.

You can't just... Leave your home and never go back. Look, I know this is

getting to you. Of course, it's fucking getting to me. Yeah, but just don't let

it. How can I not?

You know, it's the same old shite always.

Oh, your life is over. Leave your house. What can we do for you? Absolutely

nothing. All the best. Good luck.

The least we can do is take her back when we can.

Excuse me, excuse me. You dropped something.

I just missed the bin.

Well, yeah, you still need to pick it up. Look, I'm a barrister. I'm due in

court. I don't have time for this.

Doesn't matter.

Pick it up.

Constable, let me explain the law to you.

Littering is a council matter. There's nothing you can do.

I can report it to the council, show them my notebook and body worn, and they

can prosecute you.

You're not serious.

You'd actually go to court over this?

What a colossal waste of time.

I would.

Un-fucking-believable.

Thank you.

I actually enjoyed that one.

7-4 from Uniform.

Grace, RTB immediately.

Why is that, Barney?

As soon as you can, 7-4.

Roger that.

Red lights out there?

Seriously?

Fuckin' hell.

Stay calm.

Stick to the plan. But if they wanna search it, then get the 20,000.

Jesus.

Not quite.

Just trying to make an honest living these days.

Lessons?

Is this your company?

Your brake light's out there.

What? I said your brake light's out.

I'll get that fixed.

Work, ma'am.

Getting the ferry to Scotland.

All right.

We'll see you around.

I don't doubt it.

Jesus Christ.

Well?

Well, what?

Did you give him a ticket?

I don't know, just told him to get it fixed.

Shane, you know you're really bad at micro-policing.

Yeah, I know that.

What?

Oh.

Uniform from 7-0, can you put us on our Bravo?

Roger that, 7-0.

Let's take her back.

Amira, get her things.

Yes.

Grace, this went up online two hours ago.

I didn't talk to anyone. It's your conversation with Katie Close in the

hospital. Physically.

But you need to be careful. Are you threatening me?

This police officer... They're quoting your name.

Your service number.

They just sent this down from upstairs.

It affects both of you.

It's a threat message.

I'm so sorry, Grace. I really am.

Constable Grace Ellis is looking for an excuse to put me in prison.

Why?

Because I don't think the way she does.

Grace. Grace, wait.

Grace, Grace, wait, wait, wait.

Take a beat. Just take a beat. Take a beat?

Did you not see what was... That's great.

They've got my face, they've got my name, they've got my service number.

I am only ever trying to do my bloody job.

How long is it before they find out where we live? Chris, I've taken all the

necessary precautions.

The house is fine.

We're fine.

Yeah, but I am not fine.

I am not fucking fine.

You know what I am? I'm... I'm done.

I'm done.

Is that your family?

Was.

My father, he was a dentist.

He... He was against the regime.

So they came for him.

They came to our home.

Bad things happened.

To him.

To us.

You don't have to do this, though.

Keep myself busy.

Keep myself busy, you know.

Not work.

In the evening I work with the new migrants.

Teaching English.

Helping them settle.

I just don't like... You don't like to sit still.

Just keep going and going and going because if you do stop, you have time to

think.

Thank you for this.

All good?

Yes, thank you

What did you say?

What did you say?

I said the only thing you're not allowed to say around here.

The truth.

I've ever done. All I ever do is try to keep us alive.

See, that's the thing. I don't understand, Ma.

He's starting to crack.

Well, maybe he already has.

He's on trial next week for the murder of a cop.

Yeah, but nothing to do with this, though.

I could still go for a ripper order.

Get C4 on to him and see how big his mouth really is.

Am I 5-1 notified about all ripper orders concerning the McIntyres?

Yeah, I bet they do.

Sir. There's a response officer at the security door.

Says he needs to talk to you.

Fuck.

Fucking hell, mate. Send an email.

Not this time, sir.

You what?

I thought what I asked you earlier was kind of reasonable, you know?

How significant is the threat on my mate, Constable Annie Conlon? And I

thought what I said to you was quite reasonable also.

That it was none of your fucking business?

You know what?

I saw somebody today.

Somebody of interest.

Oh yeah? Who was that?

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

Your balls can't be that big, can they?

Aye, they're pretty big.

Do you know your job is to send intel up the line?

It's your duty.

Now you tell me who you saw, or I'll write you up before you have your

fucking supper.

You know, it was probably nothing.

Fuck's sake, right? Get in here.

Are you threatening me? This police officer, Grace Ellis, service number

B7244, followed me to the hospital in order to harass me when I was getting

treatment.

You know, I'm sick and tired of peelers thinking they can get away with

anything.

Maybe we should show her cuts both ways.
