What's all this about?

JACK:
Michael Ryan.

MARY:
This is about absolution.

They will do everything in their power
to get what they want.

No matter the casualties.

CATHERINE:
Jack and Angela need to be gone.

- Nothing else.
- No.

That's not enough.

I don't just want them dead.

- CATHERINE: Whatever you choose to do...
- g*nsh*t

...do not trust Jack Worth.

You'll end up dead.

How can I believe you?

JACK:
All this, this... This isn't me.

I mean, plenty of other bollocks is,
but this...

- This is on, uh...
- LUNT: Catherine.

JACK:
Yeah.

You got this, Sarah?

Yeah, I got it.

CATHERINE:
They got away?

Yes.

g*nsh*t

MAN:
Take her back to the hotel.

And guard her with your life.

Ma'am.

We should get you to the hotel.

- REPORTER: Catherine!
- CROWD CLAMOURS

REPORTER :
How do you feel, Catherine?

REPORTER : Have you any idea
who's behind this atrocity, Chief Constable?

CAMERAS CLICK

Monsters.

I promised my son that they didn't exist.

I was wrong.

I swear...

whoever they are

there is nowhere they can hide.

They will be found.

I swear on the blood of my son.

I will not rest, or retreat...

until his murderers are brought
to account.

DOG WHINES

f*cking hell.

- Alright?
- MARY SCREAMS

You scared me half to death.

What are you playing at?

Just thought I'd pop round.

Why?

I thought Anna and Ange might be here.

- Put a b*llet in your head.
- DOG YELPS

Oh. I see.

Well, I'd better put the kettle on
while we wait then, shall I?

Ah, lovely.

SHE MUTTERS:
Fucker.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

MAN:
Mr Ryan, here's the money you asked for.

MICHAEL: Nothing like a bit of cash
to get these f*ckers moving.

- MAN: Need a hand?
- MICHAEL: Nah.

Mr Ryan, it's about Sean.

Right, you two listen to me very carefully.

You're angry, I understand,
you want revenge.

I'm angry too.

But you need to stay away
from the f*cking Worths

- do you understand me?
- But the kids...

But nothin'. No.

Right, the pair of yous, f*ck off.

I'm sure they're OK.

How about you?

- Couldn't be f*cking better, Jack.
- HE LAUGHS

Good.

- Cos for a minute back there...
- What?

Don't tell me you were worried about me.

Is that why you really came?

- What can I say?
- Nothin'.

Before I actually start to think
you give a sh*t.

The f*ck are you gonna do now?

Maybe it's time I went straight.

HE SCOFFS
- I could open a bakery or something.

Hey, if this crusade of yours
doesn't work out

you could come and help me run it.

f*ck off.

- I hate to ask, but...
- Don't.

There is a little something
that you and your lot could do for me.

Haven't done enough already?

And after last night... I mean, sh*t.

Her boy d*ed.

Yeah.

What happened?

Something that shouldn't have.

Why don't you just let it go?

Just stop before anyone else gets hurt.

Eyes out. Bit of recon.
That's all I'm asking for.

SHE SIGHS

TRAIN DOORS BEEP

Oh!
WOMAN GASPS

Sorry.

- You alright?
- Yeah, no, I'm good thanks.

Probably wondering what I'm doing out
at this time, in this state.

I know I am.
WOMAN SIGHS

D'you have any?

Uh, yeah.

It's me first.

Tell me, honestly, it gets easier,
doesn't it?

Honestly?

No.

No, it doesn't.

So, um, what're you studying, Roanna?

I'm just Anna.

- What are you studying?
- Photojournalism.

It's a real degree, OK?

I know.

I just... I always wanted to do
something like that.

Well then, here's definitely

I'm in my second year now.
First year is a little bit of a drag, but...

WOMAN ON SPEAKER:
Can I have your attention please?

On platform four, we are sorry
to announce that the...


Where you planning on going?

How predictable.

Safety in open spaces.

You haven't changed a bit.

Neither have you.

Well, maybe the hair.

Danny always preferred it short, but...

Danny was a fool. So was I.

She reminds me of you, you know, Anna...

when we first met.

Got the same kind of spirit.

D'you remember that night in the pub?

We'd had a lock in and you stayed behind
to help clear up

even though you didn't have to.

So I opened a bottle of the good whisky.

We sat there chatting, just the two of us.

You shivered...

and I gave you me jacket.

I stayed cos I was ...

one week into a new job
and you were my boss.

That's why I smiled

when you went on and f*ckin' on.

Jesus Christ.

Shivered?

I was f*ckin' terrified.

- Angie...
- Don't you fuckin call me that.

I know you.

You're tired, all the killings.

What makes you think
you can protect my niece

you couldn't protect your own son?

Petey?

The lift back?

You sick f*ck.

You can't have it both ways.

Your niece?

D'you want to play happy families now?

You k*lled my brother to give her what?

A better life? A new dad?

- How's that working out for you?
- No.

You k*lled Danny.

You sent him up onto that roof

because you didn't have the stomach
to k*ll me yourself.

That's the f*ckin' truth.

What do you want?

To help.

You've already lost one kid, Angie.

Do you really want to lose another?

a family liaison officer?

No, I'm good. Thank you.

- I did.
- Any particular reason?

Because it's bad enough
being cooped up in here

without having my hand held

and being fed bullshit along with it.

Something tells me
I won't have that problem with you.

MAN SCOFFS

Oh, this was found on DI Lunt's body.

This mean anything to you?

Can't say it does. Should it?

Each of the name's crossed out on there
are dead.

Most, only recently.

A priest, customs officer, port police...

That's a hit list.

Your name's on there...

as is Michael Ryan's.

And you think what?

That D.I. Lunt was somehow mixed up in this?

She was a real detective.

Honourable.

- She was...
- One of yours?

Yes.

And with all due respect, you aren't.

Perhaps that's not such
a bad thing then, eh?

The Worths, our prime suspects...

what can you tell me about them?

Accused you of trying to m*rder him
and his family, if memory serves.

Although that now seems to be
the other way around.

And for some reason,
you seem to not want me to find them.

You watch who you're talking to, D.I. Vine.

I'm still your f*cking boss.

Yeah, well, you're right, ma'am.

That's why I'll do everything in my power
to get to the bottom of this.

DOG BARKS

What do I look like to you,

Hey!

Apart from me,
who else have you come to disturb?

Helen. You know her?

Yeah.

Nothing behind them, mind.

Just sits there, staring.

Still, she's the only fucker in this place
I can just about tolerate.

You know that stray you were looking for?

It's been spotted.

Where?

Riverside Plaza, Suite .

Right. I gotta make a stop first. Yeah.

There's more of that if you want it.

- No, you keep it.

- What would I do with it?
- Well, what am I gonna do with it?

I don't know.

- What happened yesterday...
- Happened.

How do you feel about that?

ANNA:
Uh, honestly, I don't really feel anything.

ANGELA:
You liked Jesse, didn't you?

- I barely knew him.
- That doesn't matter.

I've decided, when this is all over

I'm gonna do
a photographic journalism course.

I went to see about it this morning.
It's a three-year course.

And I met this girl there,
and she really loves it, so...

I'm gonna do it.

Yeah, decided.

Uni. Cool, huh?

REPORTER ON TV: The details surrounding
the death are still as yet unclear.


MAN:
Pretty girl. Sad.

Yeah. If you're into f*cking filth.

MAN CHUCKLES

Good officer on all accounts, too.

Hey, only good copper's
a f*cking dead copper.

Isn't that right, mate?

Her name was Lunt.

Sarah Lunt. Rhymes with...

everything that is.

Cheers, mate.

Thank you.

Oh, she didn't leave any sugar.

Add her to the list.

I'm only joking.

Yeah.

That's what I'm worried about.

What we still hanging around here for?
We should just go.

No, we're just gonna take a breather,
just re-assess for a minute.

What is there to re-assess?
We go back, we k*ll Catherine.

Anna, sit down.

We need to finish the list.

That list was flawed from the start.

It's not gonna fix what you're feeling.

And it sure as sh*t isn't going to get you
into university.

What do you mean it was flawed?

Cos there's two names missing off it.

- Who's?
- Mine. Jack's.

I don't understand.

No.

Course you don't understand.

Christ, Anna.

Back when you were...

maybe months old, I think...

Jack found out that Michael and Danny,
your...

weren't just trafficking dr*gs...

people too.

Desperate people.

They didn't make it off the boat.

Why not?

Because they were k*lled to protect
a f*cking drug shipment.

Men, women, some...

kids too.

What did you do?

I ran away.

OK.

OK?

What do you want me to say?

I don't know, scream,
curse, yell, something.

ANNA SCREAMS

You happy?

Yeah.

No. Not really.

I'm not you, Mum.

Oh, thank Christ.

And you're not this eejit either.

- The f*ck did I do?
- Not now, Jack.

Alright, couldn't agree more.

But if this act, and if that's what it is,
Anna...

Is this really about me
or is this about you?

JACK:
I know where she is. You two coming or what?

We're sorry, Michael. We know we f*cked up.

I tried to tell him...

Please, you don't have to do this, Michael.

Sorry, lads. Gotta be done, ain't it?

I want this place cleared tonight.
Spotless. D'you get me?

Good.

Did she do all this?

I need to see you.

Yeah, thought you might.

But I need your help.

- Tonight.

Alright?

Alright?

Hello, Jack.

I'm surprised you even remember the place.

You stay there.

You're still a brave if not stupid prick

That's the grief talking, right?

- Won't work, Jack.
- JACK: And there's the denial.

CATHERINE:
Oh, I remember.

- You've been there.
- Yeah, but it was the anger with me.

It was always the anger.

I got so f*cking angry,
you wouldn't believe it.

What makes you think that I'm not?

Well, if you were,
we wouldn't be having this nice little chat.

You'd be trying to find out
who pulled the trigger

and whether they suffered or not.

Or are we just waiting for Michael?

Who did pull the trigger?

JACK:
Who d'you think?

Oh, they did suffer, by the way.

I made sure of that.

Not as much as you're about to.
