Tell us about Sean O'Driscoll.

He was your shipmate?

[exhales]

When we arrived in London,

myself and the rest
of the crew

stayed in a boarding house
near the docks.

We assumed that Sean would go
home-- he said he lives here.

But instead, he stayed with us.

We shared a room together.

On the second night,
he came in late.

He was drunk and angry,
his clothes stained with blood.

He told me

if anyone came asking
that I had to say

I had been with him all night,
and to keep my mouth shut,

or he would k*ll me.

When was this?

Two nights ago.

The night of the m*rder.

Is he still at this
boarding house?

PHELPS:
Keep those rounds secure.

Don't load
till I give the order.

And try not to bloody
sh**t yourselves!

We couldn't find anything on
Sean O'Driscoll at first,

but I sent word to the records
office in Clerkenwell.

That's him.

It's an old charge sheet
from eight years ago.

It belongs to the
London City Police,

which is why we didn't have it
in our files.

There are numerous
petty offenses,

but there's something else.

Warrant for arrest, 1876.

He was a suspect
in a m*rder case,

but look
at the victim's name.

Michael Nash.

Patrick's brother.

I was working late.

I stepped out for a few minutes
to get something to eat.

When I returned,
someone had accessed the safe.

How many hidden safes
does one man need?

He keeps his most
sensitive documents in there.

Only he and I know
of its existence,

which would seem to suggest...

He's been back here.

When you say "sensitive
documents," what do you mean?

Money in various different
currencies,

details of bank accounts
on the continent.

Things he would need

should he ever wish
to disappear.

Well, why would he wish
to disappear now?

Half of Scotland Yard

Perhaps he's fearful O'Driscoll

Well, Patrick's no coward.

He was in the wrong place

and Eamonn over the years.

Kept them on the payroll.

if he ever came back,

they'd let me know.

Eamonn was as good as his word.

That's why I moved Maggie
