Hey, hi, Mr Mr Brannick.

For God's sake, Larry, it's Tom.

Call me Mr Brannick, I'll be looking over

Good to meet you.

Oh.

A little something.

- Can I open it now?

- Mm-hmm.

Daddy, this is yours.

Your mum and I both had one.

Thank you.

I love it.

The make and model of the car

match those of Pat Keenan.

Nobody saw it being dumped.

The ferry crew were the first to notice it,

on their way to work at around 7am.

Then the call to us to say he'd been

kidnapped came in at around 7:30.

Confirming it's his vehicle will take

a little longer without the number plates.

TOM:

No bodies? expl*sives?

DETECTIVE:

Divers found nothing.

TOM:

Let's listen to the phone call.

OPERATOR:

Police emergency.

MALE VOICE: I've taken Pat Keenan.

This is Major White.

Sir? It is his, sir.

Patrick Jarlath Keenan.

TOM:

Let's issue a missing person's report.

- And his address is flagged in the system.

- DETECTIVE: Sure.

Sir?

DETECTIVE:

Sir?

Make sure everyone has a photo of Keenan.

DETECTIVE:

Something wrong?

Bring everyone over.

Alright, everybody!

Pat Keenan, 48, married, three children.

Runs a successful haulage business.

He also has a past as

a senior member of the IRA.

His disappearance could well be political.

It could also be g*ng-related.

Keenan is known to have connections

in organised crime.

Could it not just be joyriders,

if the call was wee lads?

They used a paramilitary authenticating code,

which makes that unlikely.

We're looking into it.

Make no mistake

the people Keenan was associated with

in the past

the ones he's involved with now,

are an unsavoury bunch.

I shouldn't need to remind you

that the lines between g*ng-related

activities and political paramilitaries

are blurred at best, so tread carefully.

Whoever his associates are, we'd expect them

to be looking for him already.

No, hold tight on that.

Take his life apart.

See what you can find that

might point to this.

Phone, financial records,

personal life, work.

OK?

- Alright.

- INDISTINCT CHATTER

DETECTIVE:

Birdy, go down the shops and houses.

See if there's any CCTV of the road

into the village.

How's Izzy?

She's third year Medicine at Queen's.

You've done a grand job.

I drove past 19 pubs on the way in.

Why'd you want to meet here?

The postcard was taped inside

the wing mirror of Pat Keenan's car.

OPERATOR:

Police emergency.

MALE VOICE: I've taken Pat Keenan.

This is Major White.

PHONE CLICKS

- Major White?

It's in the form of a Loyalist

paramilitary code. We're looking into it.

It was never proved,

but God help us if it's Goliath.

Who else has seen the postcard?

Niamh and the CSIs at the scene.

Niamh?

My DS, Niamh McGovern.

We have to look into it.

It's more complicated than that.

Why?

The fact that Pat Keenan

is your missing person.

You were on the Goliath case before.

The seniors shut you down.

Now you're one of the seniors.

We can go after it.

Tom, you know yourself, as soon as word

gets out that an ex-IRA man's gone missing

all hell could break loose.

You start adding all this,

you'll start a w*r.

It's in the past.

Best left there.

Not for me.

Emma's gone, Tom.

Nothing's going to bring her back.

Think of Izzy.

You've raised her in a world

without all this.

Just

find Pat Keenan.

Don't go down any other roads.

We don't know where they'll lead.

CHURCH BELL RINGS

Just his car in the water,

and no sign of him?

No, ma'am.

Nothing else?

There was a postcard taped

to the wing mirror.

No message.

Does this postcard have a picture?

TOM: Uh, the cranes at Harland and Wolff.

I've been there to check it out, but nothing.

But the fact that the number plates

are missing as well

ma'am, we're into something here,

we just don't know what it is yet.

So what do you want to do next?

Go see the wife, Claire Keenan.

Has she reported him missing?

Not yet.

I suppose even if she wanted to,

she wouldn't report it to us.

She'd go to her own people.

I agree, ma'am, but we still need to find out

what we can from her.

I know, but we need to mind

what we're walking into.

We have a side of our community

that looks at us as the enemy

and the Keenans are right

at the very heart of that.

SHEEP BLEA

TOM:

When did you last see him?

Yesterday morning.

TOM:

Are there any witnesses to that?

I'm his wife.

Mrs Keenan

Oh, sorry, d-do we need witnesses now

to married life?

- Mrs Keenan

- Or maybe it's just the Catholics that do.

Has anyone contacted you about your husband?

No.

What was his car doing in the water?

We don't know that yet.

MRS KEENAN:

Is he dead?

We can't speculate.

Well, what can you do?

Right, I am not waiting

for you lot to solve this.

You've a much better chance with us

than you do with anyone else.

Mrs Keenan, in cases such as these

it's best not to tell anyone.

People could take the law

into their own hands.

We risk a much more volatile situation.

And you could put your husband

in more danger.

Um

- Do you have a toilet?

- No, we sh*t in our hands.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

SHE SIGHS

He went up yesterday morning

for a conference

and he sent me a text in the afternoon

to say that something had come up

and he was going to be staying in Belfast.

Did he say where?

The Europa.

Is your husband the type of man

to keep secrets?

In what way?

I mean, secrets that might be

about his past.

- Other women?

- No.

- It it could be just the smallest

- I said no.

Couldn't trust you

He was referred by his GP

Got a message from a friend

in a local policing team.

Here we are now.

Let me ask you something.

Why would somebody,

a middle-aged man, say

a ladies' man

why would they be suffering

from blurred vision?

It's not really my area of expertise.

I mean, I'm a trauma consultant, but

but a ladies' man?

Sure he doesn't have syphilis?

He could also be taking too much Viagra.

That affects your eyesight?

INDISTINCT CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO

OPERATOR:

Police emergency.

MALE VOICE: I've taken Pat Keenan.

This is Major White.

Major White was a code used by Loyalist

paramilitaries in the early '90s.

The last person to use it is long since dead

and the kid whose voice we can hear

was no doubt slipped a 20

to make the call.

The handset was wiped clean.

There's nothing on it that we can use.

Keenan told his wife

he was staying in a hotel in Belfast.

- TOM: And?

- He never booked it.

We have a copy of

his joint account statement

his personal account, nothing of note.

We know that he was IRA over 20 years ago

but there's been no overt activity since.

Most of his contacts from those days

have moved into "legit" businesses anyway.

Int Hub have confirmed

he's not on their radar.

Birdy, any CCTV into the village?

Nothing.

And his hospital appointment raises the

possibility that he has an illicit sex life.

That guy?

He's known to pay for it.

How much?

H-he gets it half price

with his tenth cup of coffee.

THEY LAUGH

I don't know, Birdy.

Right, you lot, you know

what you need to do.

Piss off and do it.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Potentially it could all relate

to his personal life.

Going on what we know, it's possible.

But I think it goes much deeper than that.

NIAMH:

How does the postcard fit?

I need to know what you're not telling me.

It has everything to do with that postcard

and I want you to bring me up to speed.

It's nothing you need to worry about.

Understood.

Where are you going, DS McGovern?

To ask McCallister to take me off

this investigation.

Don't.

Just

In the early part of 1998

in the months leading up

to the peace agreement

a handful of us were made aware

of a possible assassin

who it seemed had access

to police intelligence.

He was never identified,

but the suspicion was

that it could only have been an inside man.

We called him Goliath, after the crane.

So you think he's still out there?

You think Keenan's dead?

In '98

the thing that linked Goliath's victims

was that each one was made to look

as if they'd done a runner.

Fear, debt, reputation,

they all had a credible reason to leave.

And that's the version of events

that everyone chose to accept.

How many targets?

Four.

So Goliath's a serial k*ller.

That makes it sound indiscriminate.

These were targeted assassinations.

Peace was on the table.

If word got out that

a member of the police was

picking off targets at will

it would destroy that, just like now.

It would risk a return to all-out w*r.

REPORTER: Reports are coming in

that the petrol bombing of PSNI Dunfolan

is directly linked to the disappearance

of former IRA man, Pat Keenan.

Police have faced heavy criticism

of their handling of the case.

MLA for Dunfolan, Aiden O'Neill,

had this to say earlier.

O'NEILL: Naturally I condemn the petrol

bombing of Dunfolan Police Station.

No one wants to go back to those days

of running battles in the streets.

But a member of my community is missing

and so far the police appear to have

no answers regarding his whereabouts

or a possible motive

behind his disappearance.

What am I to say to the poor man's wife,

when I believe, as she does

that the police are failing

our community once again?

BUTTONS CLICK

- OPERATOR: Sir?

- Get me the ACC District Policing Command.

TOM: These are the original

Goliath disappearances

the ones who preceded Keenan.

David Corry

Joe Harkin

and Father Simon Quinlan.

NIAMH:

A priest?

And an IRA arms dealer.

Joe Harkin was an IRA Quartermaster,

and Corry

he was from the other side.

He was a Protestant paramilitary godfather.

That's what made it all the more puzzling,

it wasn't one side or the other.

His targets were people who were a threat

to the peace process on both sides.

He kept it even-handed.

You said there were four targets.

Mm-hmm.

He also m*rder*d my wife.

Why is your wife not in the files?

Because her disappearance is not official.

Was she a threat to the peace?

She was military intelligence.

The nature of her job.

At the time, they said that her cover

had been blown. She went to ground.

NIAMH:

But that's not what happened?

She was kidnapped.

Same as Keenan.

If we find the files of the original victims,

we can compare them to the Keenan case.

When Joe Harkin went missing

the investigation said it was because

he owed money all around the country.

There was a list of all the people

he was thought to have owed on that file.

I remember seeing it.

Keenan's name was on the list,

and maybe our potential Goliath, too.

When did you say?

Last week of February, '98.

There's nothing here.

There has to be.

Joe Harkin is the name you're looking for.

He was the first one to disappear.

I'm telling you, there's nothing,

so there's not.

TOM:

Something's going on.

Goliath was a name known only

inside the police

and now these files have upped and vanished.

There's someone

someone who doesn't want us to get to

the truth about the Goliath disappearances.

We can't hold back, ma'am.

So don't.

Find Pat Keenan.

That way, we can unlock Goliath.

Use whatever resources you need.

Pull people from other jobs if you have to.

You have my backing.

Now get this done.

Keenan's disappearance is similar

to David Corry.

He was a prominent Loyalist paramilitary

involved in numerous attacks

on the Catholic community.

Nasty piece of work.

He has a brother, Adam,

lives out on the Comber Road.

Adam never bought the official version

of what happened.

Spent years trying to disprove it

and if we're short of information,

he could be the one to fill in the blanks.

Alright, then. Let's go.

Jesus, that smells like

you're a 50-a-day man.

Aye, well, the lining's burnt to shite

but the money I paid for it,

there's no way I'm not wearing it.

Every pound's a prisoner, eh?

SHEEP BLEATS

If Pat Keenan and David Corry

were paramilitaries

was Adam a paramilitary, too?

No.

He was never one for violence.

Much happier up here.

He ran a bakery in the local village.

But he loved his brother.

He's dedicated the last 22 years

of his life trying to find him.

NIAMH:

Hmm.

Tom Brannick.

That's right, Mr Corry.

You still got a good boot on you?

I don't play anymore.

Best out-half these parts have seen.

Rugby.

Yous want a cup of tea

you should've had it before you came.

We're grand, thanks, Mr Corry.

Do you, er, do you mind if I record this?

The others that went missing

at the same time as your brother

Joe Harkin, Simon Quinlan.

- Your wi

- Aye.

We're following a new line of enquiry.

A new?

HE CHUCKLES

A new line of enquiry?

HE LAUGHS

HE COUGHS

My God. After 22 years.

You lot move with some urgency.

Mr Corry, you don't believe the verdict

that your brother ran

- just like the others.

- He ran from nothing.

It's only because of the ceasefire

that everyone swallowed that shite.

Yous lot all so drunk on the idea of peace,

yous

stopped doing your jobs.

Look what the peace has brought us.

Unanswered questions.

Where's my brother?

His wife?

What peace do you think he's known

all these years, huh?

That's enough.

We think the connection between

each of the 1998 missing persons

including your brother was credible.

But we're short some information.

HE TUTS

Alright.

NIAMH:

Jesus.

Well

Do you have a system?

Of course I've got a bloody system.

I'm not daft.

TOM: So we're looking for the last week

of February, 1998.

Anything relating to that.

Joe Harkin, particularly.

When I called for police help

your lot treated me like I was sitting

in a press with a tinfoil hat

telling them all that there were

Little green men were footering up the path.

Now, I don't have a great deal on Joe Harkin,

that much is true, but

HE GROANS

They didn't like a man like me

snooping around his neighbourhood.

TOM:

No, Mr Corry, this is April '98.

Huh?

HE SIGHS

The peace deal was struck on the 10th April.

On the 11th April

a woman reports suspicious activity

on an island in the Lough.

She says it happened the end of February

around the time that Joe Harkin

went off the map.

The bodies could be out there

on that island.

Why so long to report it?

Well, maybe she

maybe she was one of the few

who believed that the ceasefire

might actually hold.

Who did she report it to?

You lot.

What, you didn't know?

Sure, all I did was drink

where you boys were drinking.

Eary-wigged on idle talk.

Oh, I-I-I don't have the actual statement.

I never did.

Just knew of its existence, like

and I asked for it many times.

Your ID, sir?

Thank you.

That's Jackie's car.

Boss?

TOM:

You in charge now?

I am.

McCallister was doing a good job.

It's a delicate situation

which has been mishandled.

That's not her fault.

Yes, it is. She's allowed you to run amuck.

I'm looking for Pat Keenan.

- You told me to focus on him.

- f*ck up!

I know perfectly well what you're up to.

McCallister filled me in.

You're after Goliath.

It's connected to the Keenan case.

I told you to keep the peace.

Every hour that Pat Keenan is missing

is another hour of problems

for this service.

Have you seen outside?

We don't have time for flights of fancy

or going on a hunch.

It all makes sense now

why you're here.

Given my knowledge of the area

and the fact that I previously worked

TOM:

No, no, no.

You could've supported

McCallister from Belfast

given her all the assistance she needed

but you had to come down here yourself

to stop me investigating Goliath.

Don't talk shite.

I came here to make sure you find Keenan

and put a stop to the unrest.

And obviously as a senior Catholic officer

they're more likely to believe

that I'll move heaven and earth to find him.

You could start by making peace

with his wife

because I can guarantee you, all of this

is because she's taken a dislike to you.

That means she'll put the word out

against the whole operation.

Can you do that?

I came to you because I needed

an old friend's support.

And you have it, Tom.

There's no reason for you to doubt it.

DOOR SHUTS

So that's it, then? DCS Twomey's in charge?

Aye.

Come back to his old district to sit on me.

Well, I think I'll keep out of that.

What's that?

The missing statement Adam Corry

was talking about.

Constable Scott found it

in the files for April '98.

The witness was Muriel Busby

of Deacon's farm on the Banbracken Road.

She said she was out

feeding the cows on a clear night.

She saw activity on an island.

From that distance,

she says it looked like digging.

She identifies the location

as being between a bothy and a tree.

Jesus.

Let's go take a look.

I don't think we can.

The record shows that it wasn't actioned.

They put it in the back of a file

and forgot about it.

If the Pat Keenan and Goliath

cases are linked

we have to go out there.

We have to.

We should have been here.

But I can't see the farmhouse.

What can you see?

BIRDY:

Cowshed.

Exactly. She says in her statement

that she was out feeding the cows.

We we were digging in the wrong place.

Ask them if we can borrow their GPR.

- I don't

- Och, come on, Birdy!

We owe it to the boss, to the families.

Alright.

Good morning.

I'm Tori Matthews.

I'm a trauma consultant over at the Royal

to teach you lot from time to time.

THEY LAUGH

Won't be laughing when

you get to know me.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

What's he doing here?

IZZY:

Dunno.

- Uh, see you at the house?

- Yeah.

BELL CHIMES

I was in the area.

Just thought I'd pop by.

Hmm.

You OK?

Aye.

Really?

Things are a bit difficult at work.

Just need a break.

- Ah?

- SHE CHUCKLES

It's nice to see you wear it.

Course.

- If you want it back

- No.

SHE CHUCKLES

I held onto it for all this time because

I thought that one day

you know, your mum and me

might still be reunited.

But it's not going to happen.

We move on.

It's important to me that you have it.
