[panting]

[Frank] DCI Sangha?

Yeah. Who wants to know?

You've been enquiring
about an undercover operative.

Okay.

You must be Frank Young.

Hello, boy.

Hello. What's his name?

Get on with it.

All right.

Your man with the Maguires,
I need to meet with him.

You know it doesn't work like that.

Bobby Barrett's a prime suspect
in the m*rder of Isambard Grey.

So arrest him.

They've destroyed all the evidence
and they've nobbled my witness.

Of course they have.

Look, mate, he's the son
of the Foreign Secretary,

so can you imagine the busting
my balls are getting right now?

My operative is
in a precarious situation.

I'm not jeopardising him.

And I've got authority
from the highest level,

so either I get involved
and make life difficult for you,

or your man gets me intel on Bobby.

You should be careful.

The Maguires are dangerous people.

And I'm sure they wouldn't be happy

if they knew they had
a cop in their midst.

Look, all I'm asking
is that you help me out.

Have a good day.

[theme song playing]

[men shouting in distance]

[door buzzes and opens]

- It's good to see you.
- All right, mate? [grunts]

[Katherine] Good to see you, Jack.
It's been a long time.

[conversation continues indistinctly]

[Katherine] Isn't that right, Finn?

[Finn] We, as a family,
can't thank you enough.

[Jack] I've escaped the bailiff
for the last time.

I'll get straight back to work.

[Katherine] Whatever they were feeding you
in there, you're looking very well.

[Jack] I shared a cell with a chef,
so I did.

- He saw me right.
- [chuckling] I bet.

[Marcella] Oh, sorry.
I didn't know you were in here.

Who's the girl?

My name's Keira.

Sorry, I didn't catch yours.

This is Jack.

Keira's been staying with us for a while.
She's been helping us out.

Sorry, do you want me to leave?

No, no, there's no need.

We're all family here.

Keira and my son have grown close, Jack.

I've been very glad of her service.

I have bad news for you.

Will you take a seat?

I'm good.

[breathes deeply]

Jessie d*ed yesterday.

How?

A heroin overdose.

[Finn] Nobody knew she was using, Jack.

A dealer did.

We'll see you're supported.

We'll see you right.

And how are you gonna do that,
Mrs Maguire?

[Finn] We've made a room up for ya.

It's yours as long as you want it.

[knocking at door]

What is it?

I'm a bit confused.

Oh?

I just met Jack.

I bet he loved you.

He's been inside.

Yes, he did time with Finn.

Why'd he just come out?

Finn dealt with an informant
in prison.

Jack took the rap and did extra.
Very sweet, really.

He seems quite...

Yes, he's very territorial
about my brother.

You might need a new game plan.

Who says I'm playing games?

Finn might be happy
to let you swan into our family,

but I haven't made my mind up yet.

What is it, a fear of germs
or a compulsive disorder?

You don't get to ask those questions.

And what would happen if I...

Do you want me to go down
and f*ck your brother now?

- Or shall I stay and read to you?
- Neither.

You can go.

Can I borrow this?

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Aaron sighs]

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm just a bit tired.

You should go to bed earlier.

Thanks for the tip, mate.

Can we do it later?

No, we're doing it now, mate.

[Aaron sighs]

I don't want to.

Well, you have to.

I said I don't want to!

[sighs] Come here.

- [groans softly]
- Don't be doing that. Sit still.

[groans]

[exclaims] You're hurting me!

You're hurting me. It's not fair.

Not fair? No, I'll tell you
what's not fair.

Danny, you mess up again,
and now someone's dead.

I'm not dead.

Just hurt my arm.

[Katherine] Keira.

You have a letter.

Who knows you're living here?

No one.

Open it.

[object jingles and clatters]

[Katherine] Metropolitan Arts Centre.

I didn't know you were an art lover.

Now you do.

Who sent you that?

I really have no idea.

Then you'd better find out.

Get ready. We're leaving.

How's your room?

What?

How's your room?

What the hell do you want?

The loyalty you've shown that family...

So unlucky
to lose your daughter like that.

Was it worth it?

[Katherine] Megan.

Oh, dear. Love you.

Come here.

Right. Maguires are holding a vigil
for Jessie Healy on the estate.

Eddie, I want you to come with me,
and bring a camera.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey.

- Good to see ya.
- [Katherine] Hello, my darling.

- [Stacey] Yeah.
- How are you?

For f*ck's sake.

My deepest condolences.

[Megan] Thank you. Thank you very much.

You ready for your close-up, Mr Mayor?

I see you,

crying crocodile tears
for the cameras.

I grew up on these streets.

These are my people.

They're scared of you, Katherine.
That's all it is. Fear.

But I'm not scared.

And that is why all freight
coming through the docks

will now be subject to mandatory
random checks as of today.

I don't want a single shipment
coming through the ports until I say so.

Do you understand?

Good.

[sighs]

[Jack] Once I leave here,

I'll be off to the mortuary.

To look at my daughter's lifeless body
on a mortuary slab.

And to say, "Yes.

That's my wee girl."

But that's not what I fear most.

I've seen death.

You bet I have.

She's gone,
and I can't even say sorry.

I can't even look her in the eye
and tell her that I let her down.

- [camera shutter clicking]
- That I didn't protect her.

That I let her die.

You bet I'm angry.

We used to look after our own.

We didn't need politicians or police.

We looked after our own people
and our own problems.

Everybody knows the rules.

If you don't,

this is your final warning.

Drug dealers will be sh*t.

[camera shutter clicking]

That guy's completely unhinged.

Yeah, you're not wrong.

[camera shutter clicking]

Give me that a sec.

[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

[whimpers]

[whimpers]

[footsteps approaching]

[door unlocking]

[door locks]

[Frank] How did you get in?

[chuckles]

So, what did you want?

I just needed to clear my head
for a minute.

Are you okay?

[sighs] Yeah, I'm great.

Give me an update.

They love me.
I'm becoming indispensable, as you wanted.

How about some concrete information?

Jack Healy is out of prison.

He's living with the Maguires.

He did time for Finn.

Thank you.

Well, I need something from you.

CCTV footage from the locker corridor
at the MAC.

Why?

Don't you trust me?

I need to know
what we're looking for.

All right. They might be using
the lockers as a dead drop.

Okay. Leave it with me.

Remember the rules.

You let me do it my way,
you'll get what you want.

[knocking at door]

[door opens]

Yeah?

[Finn] We got the dealer's name.

Word on the estate,
it's one of Callaghan's boys.

What's his name?

Aaron Armstrong.

I'd like to deal with it.

You don't lay a finger on that man.

I want him alive.

He's our bargaining chip.

This is my loss, Mrs Maguire.

We're giving the mayor
the man responsible.

He'll keep his heavy hands
off the ports.

What about justice for my family?

[Katherine] We can deliver justice
once he's behind bars.

Business is business, Jack.

[mobile phone ringing]

Hello.

[Katherine] Mr Mayor? Katherine Maguire.

I know who k*lled Jessie.

So, tell the police.

[Katherine] Another dead body
is not a good look for you.

The new mayor,

losing the w*r on crime.

But...

I can make sure that doesn't happen.

In exchange for what?

[Katherine] g*ns and dr*gs
aren't coming through the port.

I'd concentrate
your efforts elsewhere.

You're looking for an Aaron Armstrong.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- You off out somewhere?
- Pub.

Do you want some company?

- You got your English whore for that.
- Oh, come on. That's enough.

I don't need company tonight.

- Jack.
- I'm not your f*cking lapdog.

[Stacey breathing heavily]

Bobby!

Bobby!

[breathing heavily]

[groans]

- [Bobby] Er...
- [groans]

I left you a present under your bed.

Size five.

Right?

Mmm-hmm.

Put them on.

[Rav] Right. Everyone okay?

And we know what we're doing?

[officers speaking indistinctly]

[Marcella moaning]

[vibrating]

[Rory] She doesn't meet anyone,
she doesn't deposit anything.

It's pretty inconclusive.

What does she find that upsets her?

We still don't know
who sent her the key.

[officer] There's two exits...

What else isn't she telling us?

[officers speaking indistinctly]

Mrs Maguire, we have a warrant
to search this address for evidence

relating to the m*rder
of Isambard Grey.

If you try and stop me,
we'll use force to enter,

and you'll be arrested
for obstructing a police officer.

We'd also like to invite you all
down to the station for questioning.

Well, that is purely voluntary,
and we will not cooperate.

[Katherine] You're not from around here.

You'll soon find out that this
is not the way you treat this family.

Good night.

All right, guys.

[grunting]

[Rory] Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing?

[Katherine] Get out of my house!

- [Rory muttering]
- [Katherine] How dare you!

[Rav] Failure to cooperate
and you'll be arrested

on suspicion of assisting an offender.

[Finn] What the f*ck is going on?

- [Rav] Someone take him.
- [Finn] What?

[all clamouring]

[Finn] You're messing
with the wrong f*cking family!

Do you know where your brother,
Finn Maguire, was

on the night of the th?

[officer ] Tell me about Bobby Barrett.

[officer ] So, can you tell me
where you were

on the evening of May th
and June the st?

[Rav] I spoke at your funeral.

I hugged your kids.

- Do you even remember them?
- My name's Keira.

[sighs]

No one's watching this interview.

That tape recorder isn't on,
so no one can hear you except me.

Marcella,

just give me a little nod

to let me know that you haven't
completely lost your mind.

Look at me.

Just give me a little nod.

My name is Keira.
There's no one else here.

If you're gonna interview me,
can you do it now, please?

Get on with it.

[tape recorder beeps]

This is DCI Rav Sangha
on the th of May , : a.m.

Can you please state your name
for the record?

Keira May Devlin.

And are you married?

- I need an audible response for the tape.
- No!

But you do have children, don't you?

You're never gonna catch Bobby.

Do you know why?
Because you're not good enough.

And there she is.

My name's Keira,
and I want to speak to my solicitor.

He's on his way.

[Rav sighs]

Interview terminated, : a.m.

[beeps]

You need help.

[knocking at door]

Sir, the family are refusing
to cooperate further.

Unless you've any more questions,
I think we're done here.

No, you're welcome to her.

Keira, are you okay?

Mmm-hmm. I'm fine.

Prick!

Go on.

[chair clatters]

[Finn slurps]

Get something down you.

[chuckling] You f*cking freak.

[door opens]

It's a girl!

It's a girl.

Oh, you'd have been proud
of your sister, man.

Nine pounds, four ounces.
She was a big wee bugger.

[exhales heavily]

Is everything all right?

The whole family just spent the night
in the cop shop

being questioned
over your m*rder charge.

[Rory] And the police just crawled
over the house with a search warrant.

You'd better hope
they didn't find anything, Bobby.

You're gonna pay for the shame
you've brought on this family.

- Let me fix it. What can I do?
- [Finn] Turn yourself in.

k*ll yourself.

Either of those will do.

[Marcella] You knew Rav Sangha was here.

[Frank over mobile] You didn't need
to know.

He could've blown everything.
f*cking hell, Frank!

[Frank] Keira, focus.

No, I want him gone. [breathing heavily]

I want him gone now,
do you understand?

[Frank] I said, focus.

Get something on Bobby.

- So you get rid of Sangha?
- Exactly.


Start with this.

Who helped him clean up the evidence
on the m*rder?

You know exactly who, Frank.

[Frank] f*ck's sake!

- And how do you expect me to spin that?
- [sniffles]

I want him gone!

[crying] I want him gone.

[Frank] Just get something on Bobby.

[g*n cocks]

Aaron Armstrong?

I'm Danny, not Aaron.

Where is he?

[Danny] He told me to stay here.

When will he be back?

It doesn't matter
'cause we're going soon, forever.

Are you, now?

[Danny] What are you doing?

You can't go up there!

I'll call the police!

No, you won't.

Where are you?

[Aaron] Remember, I said
I had to sell a couple of things.

- Get money for the bus tickets.
- Come home now, please.

What's happened, Danny?

You need to come home now, please.

[Aaron] I'm on my way.

Aaron Armstrong, isn't it?

No, mate, I'm Steven.

[thumping on window]

[mouthing]

No. Just behind ya!

Just... just look behind ya!

[gasps]

[groans]

[Danny breathing heavily]

[tyres screeching]

[exhales]

[Danny grunts]

Aaron? Aaron.

Aaron, are you okay?

Please, talk to me.

Aaron?

Aaron, please, talk to me. Please.

Please.

Aaron?

[knocking at door]

Come in.

- Your mother said you wanted to see me.
- Mmm-hmm.

Why?

I can...

come more often if you'd like.

Get off.

Get off!

That London detective.

When I walked into the room,
he wasn't recording the interview.

Yeah, he tried to turn me.
He said that we could talk off-the-record.

Standard technique.
I'd have done the same.

And how did he try to turn you?

He appealed to the cop I used to be.

- And did that work?
- No.

Of course not.

[smacks lips] Thank you.

[Katherine] Here, now.

Did you sleep much last night?

- [yawning]
- [Stacey] Not a wink.

I don't even care.
I could stare at Katie's cute little face

- all day long.
- [Katherine] Hmm.

[chuckles] Well, would you look at that.

[Katie crying]

Aw.

Granny taking over already, is she?

It's about time we wet
this baby's head, eh, Ma?

[Katherine] Too right.

Anyone else?

Oh, way early for me, thanks.

- Bobby?
- Ah!

- Sure.
- [Finn] There you go, mate.

[Bobby] Cheers.

Well done.

- [Stacey chuckles]
- Keira?

- Come and join us.
- [Bobby] Katie.

[Katie fussing]

[softly] No.

[Finn] Ah, go on. It's a celebration.

[Bobby] Hello, Katie.

[Katie fussing]

[Stacey cooing]

What's wrong? What's wrong?
What's wrong?

- [Finn] To Katie.
- [Katherine and Stacey] To Katie.

- To Katie.
- [Stacey chuckles]

So, yous heard?

The drug dealer that sold to poor Jessie
has been taken out.

Somebody clearly took the initiative.

You're kidding me.

- Who did this?
- [Finn] Well, it wasn't us.

Well, who wouldn't want to see the end
of that scumbag? [chuckles]

[Katherine] He was our peace offering
to the mayor.

Where did you hear this rumour?

Just around. Every...
[stammers] I heard it.

We were clear. No revenge.

Who would do something so stupid?

[scoffs]

Well, I mean, we all know
who was talking about revenge.

He even said,
at his own daughter's memorial,

- "Drug dealers will be sh*t."
- [Finn] Jack wouldn't do it.

Not behind my back.

A hundred percent.

[sighs]

You stupid, pig-headed idiot!

Why would you even
do something like that? Why?

- I thought they wanted rid of him.
- [scoffs]

I was trying to make up
for my mistakes.

For f*ck's sake, Bobby,
why am I even with you?

[doorbell rings]

- [Stacey sighs]
- [doorbell ringing repeatedly]

Shall I take it from here?

- [Bobby] I've f*cked it up, haven't I?
- [Marcella] Yeah.

But you did the right thing,
pointing the finger at Jack.

If he denies it,
they'll still suspect him.

I've got to go back and get the witness.
The brother saw me.

You left a witness?

Yeah. He's just a kid. I scared him.

But maybe I should go back
and get him?

No, it's a m*rder scene.
Don't be crazy.

What if he squeals?

Give me the address.

Cairns End.

I'll take care of it.

You check the house, I'll ask around.

[Finn] What the hell is going on, Eddie?

[Eddie] Rav Sangha is out of control.

He gave us no warning.

[Jack] The family will not be
humiliated by a cop.

One more insult to my mother,
and this ends.

Give Sangha what he wants
and he'll go away.

There's no other option.

Give him Bobby.

[engine starts]

Hello?

Hello?

[indistinct chatter on TV in distance]

[car approaching]

[tyres squeal]

[tyres screech]

[Marcella] What the f*ck are you doing?

He's here somewhere.

What the f*ck are you doing?
We had an agreement.

Go home.

[breathing heavily]

- [Marcella] Danny.
- Please don't hurt me.

It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Please don't hurt me.

- It's all right. I'm not gonna...
- Please.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

My name's Keira,
and I'm here to help you, all right?

- It's all right.
- Please don't.

I want you to hold my hand,

and I want you to come with me,
all right?

It's gonna be all right.

Shall we put that somewhere safe?

I need you to stay behind me.

Okay?

[automated voice] Sorry, the person
you're calling is not available.

- Please leave a message after the tone.
- [beep]

Frank, I need to deliver
a vulnerable witness.

Can you please answer the phone?

I need to deliver him right now.

[sighs]

Sorry.

It's all right. It'll be all right.

Are you all right?

I just want my brother.

- I just want my brother.
- I know.

[mobile phone ringing]

Rav Sangha.

Hello?

My name is Keira. Keira Devlin.

I have in my car a witness

who's in clear and present danger
from your prime suspect.

He'll give you the conviction
that you need.

Can I confirm immediate delivery?

I repeat, can I confirm
immediate delivery?

- Confirmed.
- Meet us at the Riverside Courts.

- Alone.
- Okay. I'll be in the lobby.

Give me minutes.

Right. What I need you to do
is get out of the car,

and you're gonna head through that door
that says "entrance."

Can you see?

Go through that door
and wait for a man called Rav.

Can you do that for me?

No.

Please, come with me.

I can't. I know it's complicated,

but I... I can't do that.

Rav's gonna be waiting for you,

and he's gonna keep you safe,
all right?

You just need to stay calm.

Can you do that?

It's gonna be all right.

I'll be right here.
I'll watch and make sure you're safe.

Go on.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[mouthing] Go. Go on.

Go in.

[speaking indistinctly]

[indistinct chatter]

[Danny] Rav!

Are you Rav?

[man ] No, I'm not.

[man ] He's got a g*n. He's got a g*n!

- [people shouting]
- [man ] He's got a g*n!

Got a g*n!

[officer] Armed police!
Armed police! Drop the w*apon,

and hold your hands out to the side,
so I can see your palms!

- [g*nsh*t]
- [Danny screaming]

[gasps]

[officer] ...Riverside Courts.
One subject down.

Need urgent assistance. We believe
there's an armed subject in the vicinity.

[breathing shakily]

[whimpers]
