I want you

Inspector Mullins, did anyone

- Just the boy.

Two shooters,
he said, wearing masks.

He was in a bad way,

So how did they know that
O'Brien was leaving early?

- Could be nothing,
just somebody's gym clothes

left behind
in all the commotion,

- It's a message.

- Tout?

- It's what the Irish
call informers

- It's what the Irish
call informers

who work with the police,
but it's incredibly derogatory.

During the Troubles, "touts get
shot," was a common refrain.

During the Troubles, "touts get
shot," was a common refrain.

- Paramilitaries
used hit squads

to execute anyone who turned.

- So O'Brien was shot because
he was informing on the IRA.

- It tracks with the relocation
and the change of identity,

but London Police didn't
say anything about it.

say anything about it.

- So who exactly
was he talking to?

- The last thing I want
is a return to the days

of IRA street violence.

Not here, not in London.

Not here, not in London.

- I agree, Officer Stroud.

Was MI5 in contact
with Alec O'Brien?

- No, not really.

- No, not really.

When he booked his travel,
we flagged it and advised him

that his protection agreement

only applied
in the United States.

He didn't respond.

He didn't respond.

- The protection deal you gave
him for being an informant.

- It's my government's strict
policy to neither confirm

nor deny whether any particular
individual has ever operated

individual has ever operated

as a clandestine agent.

- Okay, but you did
relocate him.

And according to his FBI file,
he was detained in the '90s,

confirm that?

was questioned by our Northern
Ireland office in 1994.

But those records have
been sealed for decades.

- Okay, well, I think it's time
we open them up again.

If he was informing on someone,
maybe that person

was the one who killed him.

- It's hardly that simple.

- It's hardly that simple.

The IRA operates under
a strict code of silence.

Breaking that code
is punishable by death.

O'Brien knew this.

O'Brien knew this.

A few whispers, and every thug
in Ireland would want him dead.

He must have thought that
enough time had passed

that it was safe to return.

that it was safe to return.

Clearly, he was wrong.

- Well, give me access
to his MI5 file,

or at least tell me what
he was informing about.

or at least tell me what
he was informing about.

- I'll see what I can do.

But again, I can neither--

- Confirm nor deny, right.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- You know what?

Let me know if
I'm off-base here,

but a man was
brutally murdered,

and you do not seem
too beaten up about it.

terror organization.

Membership is a crime,
even in Ireland.

You and your team, you're
welcome to set up shop here

at Thames House and help me
get them off the streets,

at Thames House and help me
get them off the streets,

but if you're asking me
to shed tears for a terrorist,

I can't help you.

O'Brien brought this
on himself.

- Got it.

Well, I gotta go
visit a teenage boy

Well, I gotta go
visit a teenage boy

with a gunshot wound,
so maybe we can at least

get justice for him, huh?

- No more questions.

Not until they tell me
James is okay.

James is okay.

- I know this is
a terrible time,

but we wanna find out who did
this, and every second counts.

this, and every second counts.

- I don't know how I can help.

I wasn't even there.

- James is an eyewitness, okay,

- James is an eyewitness, okay,

but when the doctors
say he's able,

we'll need to talk to him
as well.

But while he is in surgery,
you are all we've got.

But while he is in surgery,
you are all we've got.

- Okay.

- Did your husband meet
with anybody during this trip?

Old contacts, family?
- No.

Alec has relatives
in Ireland, of course,

The trip was James's idea.

He made this whole
presentation.

presentation.

He was so passionate.

How does a parent
say no to that?

How does a parent
say no to that?

- Did Alec ever talk about
his involvement with the IRA?

- Never.

- Never.

I knew he grew up
in a tough time,

and he was proud
of his Irish heritage,

but he wasn't a criminal.

but he wasn't a criminal.

And he sure as hell
wasn't violent.

That is not the man I knew.

When I met him, he was a grad
student with a nice accent

student with a nice accent

and no interest in politics.

- Is there anyone
who could have known

that he was an informant?

- He didn't even tell me!

- He didn't even tell me!

Damn it!

You're just doing
your job, I get it.

You're just doing
your job, I get it.

But every one of
these questions

makes me feel I don't
know my husband,

and I can't
think that right now.

and I can't
think that right now.

I need him.

Our son needs him.

He didn't even
wanna come on this trip.

He was just being
a good father.

- Our one eyewitness
is still in surgery.

The bullet was

We may have an ID on a car.

The tire treads of that model
are consistent

Have Amanda check

with criminal records
landing at that airport

on that day from Derry,
Belfast, Dublin, you know--

on that day from Derry,
Belfast, Dublin, you know--

- I'm on it.

I'll have to loop in MI5
as well.

- I'm not sure how forthcoming
they're gonna be.

- I'm not sure how forthcoming
they're gonna be.

- Your meeting with Stroud
didn't go well?

- No.

I'm used to MI5
sharing everything,

but there is something
about this guy.

about this guy.

He's making it hard
to dig into O'Brien's past.

- Sounds like what we need
is a source within IRA circles.

- Sounds like what we need
is a source within IRA circles.

- You know someone?

- Yeah, but it will
require doing something

I generally try to avoid.

- Which is?

- Which is?

- Visiting my mother.

I doubt I'm gonna need backup.

You can still run
for the hills.

- Oh, I wouldn't miss this.

- Oh, I wouldn't miss this.

- Well, I don't believe it.

A visit from my own daughter.

Is it Christmas already?

Is it Christmas already?

- It's good
to see you too, Mum.

- What are you doing
ringing the bell?

- You know I don't
have a key anymore.

there on the doorstep

there on the doorstep

like you're selling something,
come on in.

Terry, she's here.

Terry, she's here.

Come and see if you
recognize your daughter.

- Dad.

- Darling.

- Our prayers
have been answered.

She's brought a man home.

- She's joking.

- Nice to meet you, sir.
- Oh, call me Terry.

It's an absolute pleasure.

We're having tea.

Scarlett makes the best teas.

And the sandwiches?

to make sandwiches, did I?

- No, it's okay, Mum, we don't
have time for tea anyway.

- No, it's okay, Mum, we don't
have time for tea anyway.

We're here on a case.

- Since Megan started
with the FBI,

we see her even less
than her brother.

than her brother.

But I won't hold that
against you, Andre.

- I appreciate that.

- Mum, I was hoping
you could help me

- Mum, I was hoping
you could help me

find your old friend, Niall.

I don't remember his surname.

- What's this about?
- Oh, the Irishman?

- That's right.

- That's right.

He used to visit
when we were kids.

He told stories about
your time in Belfast.

Do you think
he's still in the IRA?

Do you think
he's still in the IRA?

Well, I'm sure I don't know.

And it's not polite
to talk about politics.

- This is for
a homicide investigation.

There could be actual lives
on the line.

- If you'll excuse me, I think

- If you'll excuse me, I think

I'm gonna go back to my book.
- Dad.

- No, no, no, no, it's fine.

So lovely to see you, darling.

Nice to meet you, Andre.

- You know he doesn't like
how dangerous your job is.

- Well, I can't help that.

- Well, I can't help that.

I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't important.

- Oh, well,
that much is obvious.

- We didn't mean
to put you on the spot.

In fact, I'm just here
to enjoy this wonderful tea

to enjoy this wonderful tea

and get to know you.

But Smitty told me
you were a nurse in Belfast

during the last years
of the fighting.

during the last years
of the fighting.

- Yes--when I was fresh out
of nursing college,

I traveled to Northern
Ireland a few weeks a year

for work experience.

some of his mates after a raid

And the last thing he wants
is a call from the police.

Now, please,
promise you'll drop this

Now, please,
promise you'll drop this

and leave the past alone, hey?

- Did you get it?
- Got it.

- Did you get it?
- Got it.

Contact's full name
is Niall Walsh.

She gave us just enough details
that Tate was able

to get a location and a number.

- Okay, great.

- Okay, great.

I'm almost at MI5.

Let's regroup here
before you make the call.

- Just one request.

I'd appreciate it if we could
keep this contact hush-hush,

from MI5 and my
disapproving mother.

disapproving mother.

- Cam? Cam, are you there?

It's signed Saoirse Nua.

- Saoirse Nua.

Whoever they are,
they're just getting started.

- Okay, the clock is ticking.

Anybody bold enough
to blow up a car outside MI5

is liable to try
just about anything.

What do we have
on the cameras in the area?

What do we have
on the cameras in the area?

- Two suspects, blue BMW.

It all lines up
with the perpetrators

of the O'Brien shooting.

- Any luck getting an ID?

- Not with the masks.

- What about the message?
- Ah.

Saoirse Nua,
it translates to new freedom,

it's an extreme-left party
based in Ireland.

- Yeah.

They splintered off
from Sinn Féin,

- No, but their founder,
Sullivan Archer,

the release of all
political prisoners

Can you point us
to whoever's in charge?

- Why?

And you must be more cops

We're investigating
a car bombing.

- Anyone could
have written that.

The government would
love to paint Saoirse Nua

as a terrorist group.

as a terrorist group.

- Maybe one of these people
took your call

for Irish freedom too far.

- No party can be
held responsible

for the actions of its
most extreme supporters.

- All right.

How long have you
and your group been in town?

- Three days,
but there is no way

Don't believe me?

Go ask them.

- Niall?

- Oh, Smitty Garretson.

What a day this has
turned out to be.

coming all this way.

It's been, what, 20 years?
- Oh, don't be sorry.

It's been, what, 20 years?
- Oh, don't be sorry.

I didn't expect
to live this long, either.

- Have I kept you waiting?

- Have I kept you waiting?

- No, I was early.

I'm a little nervous.

There's a pub
around the corner.

Do you fancy a drink?

- Oh, I'm at work.

- Of course.

Probably just as well.

If you're anything
like your mother,

you'd drink me under the table.

you'd drink me under the table.

- What, Scarlett?

With her two tiny sips
of sherry each Christmas?

- That may be now,
but back in the day,

- That may be now,
but back in the day,

she was an incredible lush.

- And I mean that
in the best possible way.

in the best possible way.

- I'll have to take
your word for it.

It's a shame
you two lost touch.

- Aye, must be five years
since I've seen her.

since I've seen her.

But we're not here
to reminisce, are we?

- I'm afraid not.

- I'm afraid not.

Did you receive the materials
I sent you?

- Aye, but Smitty...

I do not know
who's behind all of this.

but I was hoping
with your connections,

you'd be able to point me
to potential targets.

suspected touts?

- Come on, Northern Ireland
isn't a big place.

You still know the players.

- All the real troublemakers
have passed on.

- So call the ones
that haven't.

Ask around.

Ask around.

- I have heard rumors
that things

may be starting up again.

But who would want
those days back, I don't know.

But who would want
those days back, I don't know.

Don't get me wrong,
I still believe in the cause

as much as ever.

Tactics we used, we were fools.

different, here's your chance.

different, here's your chance.

Help me, before what happened
to Alec O'Brien and his family

happens to someone else.

happens to someone else.

- I'll make some calls.

Really good to see you.

- If this is about Sullivan
Archer, you can shelve it.

He was ruled out by the MI5.

He was ruled out by the MI5.

- Is this a bad time?

- Sorry,
we're just chasing our tail,

and it's starting to get to me.

What's up?

What's up?

- Well, good news first.

I just got off the phone
with the hospital,

and James O'Brien's surgery
was a success.

He's not ready to talk yet,
but he's stable.

He's not ready to talk yet,
but he's stable.

- That's great.
I'll have Cameron standing by.

What's the bad news?

What's the bad news?

- It's just a thought, but two
things don't make sense to me.

Why is MI5 being so secretive
with O'Brien's file?

Why is MI5 being so secretive
with O'Brien's file?

And why is the IRA suddenly
targeting old informants?

Maybe the same event
explains both.

Maybe the same event
explains both.

- Okay.

- Is it possible that Stroud or
someone else in law enforcement

- Is it possible that Stroud or
someone else in law enforcement

leaked O'Brien's file?

- That's a hell
of an accusation.

- Last year, police
in Norfolk and Suffolk

- Last year, police
in Norfolk and Suffolk

released the data of thousands
of victims and witnesses

in response to a Freedom
of Information request.

Can we at least rule it out?

- I'll give it a shot.

- I'll give it a shot.

Stroud and I are due
for a polite conversation

about transparency.

- The very suggestion
is deeply offensive to me,

Agent Forrester.

- The leaks could
come from anywhere.

One of your people could have
an axe to grind with O'Brien,

One of your people could have
an axe to grind with O'Brien,

and they could have let
his file slip out the door.

- Just because the FBI
isn't being read in

on every single detail,
doesn't mean

on every single detail,
doesn't mean

that I am collaborating
with the enemy.

Whose side are you actually on?

- The victims.

- What exactly do you want,
Agent Forrester?

- Take a long, hard look
at your people.

- Take a long, hard look
at your people.

Recheck everything.

If you want,
we can do it together.

Old grudges can be held
for years, on either side.

Old grudges can be held

We're looking for a priest?

Apparently, he's been
an important voice

in maintaining the ceasefire.

- And you trust
your contact's intel?

- Niall said
he's kept close ties

with the IRA and the police,

so he could be
a valuable source.

- In here! He's here!

Gunshot wound to the abdomen.

He's still breathing.

can you hear me?

- I'm at 358 Midbury Road
in Letchworth.

We need backup.

We need backup.

We're looking
for an armed suspect.

Or setting a car bomb off
in downtown London?

on a shooting spree together,

killing informants,
trying to reignite a war.

Any of that ringing a bell?

- The Good Friday Agreement
was a capitulation

that my generation will
not stand by and accept.

- Where's Brennan, Myra?

Who is he gonna hit next?

spies and informants

against the Irish people
since the beginning.

Loyalist gangs

look the other way.

And you don't see anyone
digging up those cases, do you?

There's no moral high ground
for you here.

How'd you and Brennan learn
about O'Brien's

How'd you and Brennan learn
about O'Brien's

informant work, anyway?

You weren't even born
at that time.

Who's really
calling the shots, Myra?

Best you can do is cooperate

and tell me who
your boyfriend's hiding

It's all I've got for you.

I'm sorry, I didn't really

It was weird.

I think I mainly was
looking at the guns.

That happens a lot, actually.

at the older guy with the bag.

He kept staring at my dad

they've been pulling
together a collection

Now, we've been looking
at people younger,

I am so sorry.

- Padraig McEwan,
former IRA leader.

Do you know him?
- Yeah.

Do you know him?
- Yeah.

He runs a nationalist website.
It's called The Hub.

- Where Myra Leighton
is a freelance contributor.

They know each other.

McEwan finds a group,

a new generation of radicalists

who are looking for a target
for their anger,

who are looking for a target

and he gives them one:
informants.

- And his son can
put him at the scene

of his father's murder.

Admittedly,
it's not hard proof.

to help with that.

McEwan's brother died
six months ago in prison.

Upon his death,

I reviewed the transcripts

None of it mentioned O'Brien,

Unfortunately,

additional recordings

Scapegoats for his

- It appears your theory
was partially correct.

- It appears your theory

Law enforcement did reveal the
identities of the informants,

but it wasn't on purpose.

It was a mistake.

It was a mistake.

We simply let our guard down.

- You have to relocate every
single one of these witnesses

in the transcript immediately.

- The process
is already underway.

What matters now
is that we locate McEwan

before he strikes again.

before he strikes again.

Your team has already
given me a way to do that.

- What are you talking about?

- I'm going to arrest
Niall Walsh.

- I'm going to arrest
Niall Walsh.

- Niall didn't have
anything to do with this.

How did MI5 even know
that I contacted him?

- Stroud is sharp.

He probably was watching him

the second he arrived
in London.

- He was doing me
a personal favor, Scott.

He trusted me.

But when he tipped us off
about the attack on Crowley

Niall is the only link
that they've got.

Do you know where he is now?

- No.

- No.

He isn't answering my calls.

Mum, I am trying
to protect him!

- Keep your voice down.
Your father's asleep.

- Keep your voice down.
Your father's asleep.

- If he's contacted you,

if there's anything
that you know...

- I certainly
wouldn't tell you.

You lied to me,
and now Niall is in danger.

- I never meant
for this to happen.

- Oh, you never meant it.

- Oh, you never meant it.

Is that what you'll say
when they find him

shot dead in the street?

And how long before
the IRA realize

he's working with the police
and they come after him too?

- I am sorry for lying to you,
but it is my job.

- I am sorry for lying to you,
but it is my job.

- No, your job is irrelevant.

Niall Walsh had nothing
to do with anything

until you stuck your nose in.

until you stuck your nose in.

You did it because
you're selfish.

- You're having a drink?

This is unhinged.

- I haven't seen that man
in 20 years.

- I haven't seen that man
in 20 years.

And you managed to find him and
ruin his life in the same day.

- 5 years.
- What?

- 5 years.
- What?

- Niall said he last saw you
5 years ago, not 20.

- Oh, fine, whatever it is,
I don't remember.

- Oh, fine, whatever it is,
I don't remember.

It doesn't matter.

- I think it does.

You're deliberately downplaying
how close you two are.

how close you two are.

- Oh, don't be dramatic.

You're making me
upset and confused.

- Who confuses
5 years with 20?

5 years with 20?

You're lying to me.

- Niall cared deeply
about our family,

about me, about you,
and you manipulated that.

about me, about you,
and you manipulated that.

He has a good heart.

- You're in love with him.

- You're in love with him.

- Don't be ridiculous.

- Yes, you are.

That's why you didn't want me
digging into the past.

here in front of all of us.

It must have gone on for years.

- You can judge me
all you like,

- You can judge me
all you like,

but Niall's a good man.

And you signed
his death warrant.

his death warrant.

Get out of this house.

Niall's record.

He was a person of interest in
the Docklands bombing in 1996.

An explosion in London
killed 2, over 100 wounded.

killed 2, over 100 wounded.

And Niall was here
in town at the time.

- They can't connect him.
He wasn't charged.

- Right.

Maybe he was just here
to visit my mother.

I never should have
involved my family.

involved my family.

- Smitty, there's no
going back now.

going back now.

I know that this is
complicated for you,

but Stroud is not wrong.

Niall is the best shot we have
at finding McEwan

Niall is the best shot we have
at finding McEwan

before anyone else gets killed.

He can help us.

- Okay.

- Okay.

I'll send him another message.

This time, I'll tell him
I know about the affair.

- Is this why
you've been helping me?

Guilt?
- Smitty.

- Don't call me that.

- Don't call me that.

Is it over?

- It was doomed from the start.

- It was doomed from the start.

Two people
on opposite sides of a war

with conflicting loyalties.

- Like marriage.

- Yeah.

Scarlett was already engaged
when we first met.

I was the impulsive one.

I was the impulsive one.

Your mother, she was practical
and whip smart,

like you were back then.

like you were back then.

I remember.

- Look, MI5 knows you're
in contact with Padraig McEwan.

They're threatening to charge
you with being in the IRA

you with being in the IRA

unless you turn on him.

- I had nothing
to do with this.

The only reason I got back in
was to help you.

was to help you.

- You sent me to Crowley
without telling me

he was the next target.

You almost got
my partner killed.

my partner killed.

- I told you everything
I know, I swear.

- I don't imagine
they'll believe that.

- What are you gonna do?

Meet with McEwan, wear a wire.

Meet with McEwan, wear a wire.

If you do that
and we can get him,

then I can convince MI5
to forget about your past.

- I'll do it.

- I'll do it.

- Are you sure?

- I've made very bad decisions
in my life.

I'll try to make
this one right.

this one right.

- We need him admitting
that he gave the orders,

- We need him admitting
that he gave the orders,

because right now, everything
we have is circumstantial.

- We'll be watching
and listening.

and listening.

Once we hear what we need,
our people will move in.

- You best keep some distance.

McEwan is a crafty bastard.

He'll have somebody
watching his back.

Padraig.

old man.

You look like the world chewed
you up and spit you out again.

calling around after me,

calling around after me,

talking to all our old friends.

- Yeah, I heard
about your brother.

Guys are telling me about
Crowley and O'Brien, two touts.

Crowley and O'Brien, two touts.

You know, I should be
buying the next round

for that now.

All full of piss and vinegar,
and no real sense of loss.

- Well, the car bomb
made that pretty clear.

You sure that was a good idea?

- That was Myra,
the girl who got picked up.

I just told them
to ditch the car.

Kids have a flair
for the dramatic.

find O'Brien on their own

after all this time,
we're in good hands.

- Well,
not on their own exactly.

A lady at the academy
tipped me off he was coming.

I couldn't let
that chance pass.

that the shooters

might find a conscience?

- Are you kidding?

- Are you kidding?

Those kids said yes

before I could finish
giving them the order.

That's it, that's what we need.

Stroud, move in.

- Mind if I join you gentlemen?

Both of you are coming with me.

anymore, are we, McEwan?

I am confident

My dad wouldn't

to bury the peaceful man
we knew.

Niall Walsh played a key role,

so we need to make sure
that he's protected.

His slate's wiped clean.

If you like, the FBI

Am I crazy?

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

How could I possibly
