CROWD SHOUTS Just stay back there, OK?

We're under attack!

We're under attack!

This is your fault! You did this!

Look! Look what they've done to us! Stop...

It's going to be OK. 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.

I'm going to 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 want to close a police station?

Fine, let's play a numbers game.

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

Not supposed to drink, not supposed to go out,

not supposed to... tell the truth!

Shut your mouth, you don't know who's listening.

Amira... I know you're in there.

Amira, calm down, lock everything, we're on our way.

Peelers are here!

We're going to find another way.

Get back! Right, in! Get in, get in!

Get back! Get back! It's all right, it's all right.

Get back! Pepper spray!

Barney, we need back up now, over!

♪ I hurt myself today

♪ To see if I still feel

♪ I focused on the pain

♪ The only thing that... ♪

Maybe something to lighten the mood, mate?

No, just leave it.

RADIO: 7-4 from Uniform.

Backup needed urgently at 25 Breslin Street.

Officers being attacked by a hostile crowd. Over.

Shit.

SIREN WAILS

7-4 from Uniform. TSGs are five minutes out.

Wait out. Repeat, wait out.

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Pass the petrol!

Petrol, petrol, petrol!

What are yous going to do? Come on! Get back! Stay back!

Gun, gun, gun!

GUNSHOT

Grace?! Yeah, it wasn't me!

It wasn't me!

Go! Go, go, go!

We're fine!

SIRENS IN DISTANCE

Visual on renegade. Roger that.

PHONE BUZZES

Fall in!

What's the protocol?

We get caught on the way to the terminal,

we take on the peelers if we can,

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

And? They catch us, we say you never knew anything 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.

Fall out.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Listen, Amira, erm...

...do you have any friends somewhere?

Any relatives?

No, it's... it's just me.

OK.

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...

...it turns out I'm mistaken.

You all right?

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 the peelers shooting their guns...

...I'm sure somebody could've.

Hmm.

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.

Yeah.

OK, Perfect. Yeah, that's grand.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

Just have to get the sign-off from the doctor. OK!

Thanks.

OK, erm...

...when they discharge you, ring this number.

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

I need my things.

7-2 from Uniform. You back on the ground? Over.

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

Amira, it's not safe.

There are things, personal things, I need them.

Need you back at base. Briefing for all units. 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... Are you 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 any more.

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 they've 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,

yous 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?

Hmm?

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.

Intelligence for Operation Harvest has to go through the system.

Yeah, I...I know that.

Mate, it's a busy day today, send an email or something.

S-Sir, it was, er... it was more of a question.

I'm C3, lad. I don't answer questions, I ask 'em.

Well, it'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 and I was just wondering if I...

Well, 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?

Uh... Yeah.

Give us a look at your head.

What? Bend forward.

Yeah, seems intact.

Fuckin' weird.

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

Fed rep? Federation membership.

It's like an insurance policy that you're about to cash in on, just...

...let him take the lead, OK?

OK.

So, Constable Foster...

...you fired a round at the sky?

Surprised you didn't miss.

I'll, uh... Yeah.

Skipper? How is he?

He's seen the PIM, he's with the Fed rep, then the ombudsman.

No, I said, how is he?

He's not himself.

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

OK, 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'll 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 McCloskey, I will be recording this interview.

RECORDER BEEPS

So I've reviewed the bodyworn 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've had me in here asking me why I didn't do something.

Fill out a Use of Force form.

And get back to work.

I'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.

Well.

We showed her, didn't we?

Tommy?

Well?

It's fine. Back to work.

You need a few days off. No, I don't.

KNOCKING Yep.

Skipper?

What's up?

CROWD SHOUTS, GUNSHOT

Looks justified to me.

Yeah, looks 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.

Blackthorn's card is marked.

I'm not going down without a fight, ma'am.

But 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've.

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.

Well, 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, ma'am, is that you let me try.

Wakey-wakey!

Are you going to lie in your pit all day?

LINE RINGS

PHONE BUZZES

Renegade on the move.

How's business?

Get into the office. What?

Right, everybody inside.

HE GROWLS ORDER

Sit down.

Don't move.

So, look, I've got a question for you here,

and I want you to answer me honestly, OK?

Shut up.

Would you wise up? I'm not wearing a fucking wire!

Shut... up.

Are you high? Huh?

Are you fucking high?

You... 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?

Class.

You're going to get yourself hurt, Mo.

Yeah, but you're not going to hurt me, are you?

You can't do fuck all!

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

So I know my da was a tout, right?

Cos he told me.

And then... I know my ma was a tout.

Sorry, is a tout.

Like 20 years thinking one thing and then...

HE MIMICS EXPLOSION

Isn't that mad?

That is mad.

Isn't it?

Like, both your parents, 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 or...?

Shut up!

You just shut up!

If I ever...

...ever see you set foot in this place again...

...I'll fucking kill you.

MO GRUNTS

Cancel my ticket!

Shite customer service.

I'm going to 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.

Eh, skipper, are we going to look into Katie Close?

You know, she's the one that's been doing all this filming.

See, 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.

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

Public Order Enquiry Team are reviewing the footage.

If they feel they have enough evidence, they'll make a move.

When will that be?

HE SIGHS

So, what, we're just going out looking for bald tyres now, is it?

Yes.

Thank you.

The simple fact is, we've dropped the ball on 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 tyres.

They can reveal the movements of criminals, Op Gulliver 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 Blackthorn,

introduced many years ago by Gerry 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 bald tyre.

Because it matters.

Thank you.

Er, OK.

Callsigns are all the same,

apart from a couple of changes this morning.

Annie and Shane, you're on 7-0.

7-2, that's...

...Aisling and Tommy.

Grace, you're now with me.

Erm...

Sharp eyes save lives.

Good luck, mate.

It was that neighbour who called,

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

You want to check the front and I'll check the six?

I asked for this, you know.

What? Your callsign.

Why?

We're not finished talking.

HE SCOFFS

Aisling, any signs of life your side?

Negative, no signs on mine.

Is that a phone ringing?

Yes, sir.

LEE: Don't say anything.

Are we up on this?

No, sir. It's a different handset.

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

Why isn't she talking?

He broke the golden rule, he broke the fucking golden rule.

Now, 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.

And no, I have no idea where he's going.

Fuck.

Who was that?

Who the fuck was that?

Ah, 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.

Are you all right to talk to me?

Can you tell me what happened?

I thought I saw something, out 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 the phone in the hall.

And I wasn't sure, love.

Then there was a knock...

...at the window.

I couldn't move for fear!

I just froze!

And he kept knocking.

I couldn't move!

I think...

I think he was... touching himself!

I couldn't move.

I just froze.

And he kept knocking.

How long do you think he was there for?

I don't know.

Maybe hours.

When it...

When it eventually stopped...

...I ran to the wardrobe.

ALICE SOBS

Listen, you're safe now.

OK?

You're safe now, Alice.

BELL RINGS Oh, ding-dong.

All right?

Haven't seen you around here for a while.

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

Actually...

...maybe I'll go on through, will I?

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.

You used to know my da back in the day.

James McIntyre.

I did, aye.

Good soldier. He was, aye.

A good soldier.

A very good soldier.

Is he still doing time?

He is, aye.

How come you're out?

Trial's next week.

One last rager, aye?

Aye.

One last rager.

Right. A pint for this man and a pint for me.

Listen, why don't you leave the man alone?

No, you listen.

You know who I am, don't you?

MO CHUCKLES

What the fuck?

Here, I heard about what happened.

And I'm sorry.

Your Ciaran was the year below me in school,

and he was a really good lad.

Why do these things happen, you know?

Like, fucking, 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.

Right, are we doing it?

Are we doing it, John? We will.

Two whiskeys, please, barman, OK?

MO LAUGHS

And I think I'll 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 in 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 on chaos and...

I need order.

Tommy, I need it.

And the thing is, so do you.

It was still good, though, Aisling.

It was.

It was still good.

Oh, I like that!

I like that, John! You're old-school, aren't you?

Power of the fuckin' old school.

Ah, that's good!

Ah!

Oh, look, there he is.

There's my da!

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

What was it you said, John?

A good soldier?

If only you knew.

You're fucking wired.

And you're pissed. What's the difference?

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

Maybe that was before he started.

It's hard to tell.

Started what?

Working with the Brits.

You better watch your mouth.

You're talking shit.

PHONE RINGS

Tina, it's Joe McGurk from the Volunteers.

Your lad's here. He's off his head and he's running his mouth.

Can we get a team on the ground right now?

No way, Colly, not enough time.

Jesus Christ!

Colly!

Colly! Colly!

Aye, fag anois! Fag o'what?

Get the fuck outta here.

You don't know what you're sayin'. Do you think so?

Cos 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 da,

the day we were scooped, actually,

he turns round to me, he turns to me and he says

that he had been working with the Brits for years.

Informing on people.

People like you, John. No, McIntyre was a good man.

And my ma knew all about it. A good soldier.

Can you imagine what that does to your head?

Can you... imagine? You, out to 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.

SHOUTING

METALLIC THUNK

Do you know why I pulled you over today, sir? No.

Well, you crossed in front of us back there without indicating.

Have you had any alcohol today?

No, Constable, no. No.

OK.

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.

WHISPERS: Fuck.

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

Look, this, um... this driving without due care and attention...

It's my fault, Constable.

I was talking to him about my hip.

Er... OK, just...

...be a bit more careful next time, all right?

Yes, Constable, and thank you, Constable.

You're welcome. OK, thank you.

Was I distracting you talking about my hip?

No, no, I worry about your hip...

HE SIGHS

How'd that work out for you?

Ach, it would have been like drowning a kitten.

You big softie.

Ah, you know me, heart of gold.

Oh...

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.

Well, 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."

HE SIGHS

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

Oh, 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 you to the council, show them my notebook and bodyworn,

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.

Amira, to get her things.

Yeah? Yeah.

Grace, this went up online two hours ago.

I didn't attack anyone.

It's your conversation with Katie Close in the hospital.

Are you threatening me?

This police officer...

They're quoting your name.

...service number B7244...

Your service number.

...followed me to the hospital in order to harass me...

They just sent this down from upstairs.

It affects both of you.

Maybe we should show her it cuts both ways...

It's a threat message.

We're not allowed to speak our truth,

to say what's happening to our communities.

And when we do, they arrest us and charge us.

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, wait.

Take a... Take a beat.

Just take a beat.

Take a beat?!

Did you not see what was on that screen?!

They've got my face, they've got my name,

they've got my service number.

I have only ever tried to do my bloody job!

How long is it before they find out where we live?

Grace, 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... Mm!

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...

...and bad things happened.

To him.

To us.

You don't have to do this now.

Keep myself busy.

Keep myself busy, you know?

At work.

In the evening, I...

...work with the new migrants.

Teaching English, helping them settle.

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

You just keep going and going and going,

because... if you do stop, you have time to think.

Yeah.

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.

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

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

Why bother?

He's starting to crack?

Or he maybe 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 RIPA order.

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

MI5 want notified about all RIPA 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 fuckin' business.

You know, I...

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 fuckin' supper.

You know... it was probably nothin'.

Fuck's sake. Right, get in here.

But you need to be careful who you...

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 am sick and tired

of peelers thinking they can get away with anything.

Maybe we should show her it cuts both ways.
