Well?
Oh.
Right.
Of course.
I'm sorry.
Is it
Is it very graphic?
It's your wife *** your business
partner on top of the copy machine.
How's that for graphic?
'The last few months I've roamed
every corner of the country,
taking on cases as I went along.
I didn't care where it was.
As long as it wasn't Galway.
'
Oh, God! Please, God!
'Anywhere but Galway.
'
You're all right.
'Whatever happened to that girl
was none of my business.
I gave my statement to the Guards
and that should have been
the end of it.
But I couldn't get her
out of my head.
The look in her eye.
Not just terror or shock,
there was something else.
Something I recognised.
'
Come back with my horse!
What are you doing?
Any leads, Superintendent?
Are you still holding Eddie Mangan?
Is he your only suspect?
Guards, are you gonna charge him?
Get these people outta here.
Come here.
Will you look who just resurfaced.
Jack Taylor.
Well detected.
Ned Whelan.
Superintendent, no less.
A man of weight.
Always the mouth, jack.
I thought I'd seen the last of you.
What can I tell you, bro?
How's the investigation going?
You think that I'm gonna spill the
beans on a confidential investigation?
What if I had something to offer
in return?
Oh? Something you didn't put
in your statement?
You deliberately withholding
information?
Maybe it came to me just now.
And what would that be now?
Oh, Christ!
You haven't changed.
I heard you got shot in Galway.
Dangerous place, the Wild West.
It wasn't me that got shot.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
l
I say it like it is.
So what have you got? A victim?
Her name was Sinead Mangan.
He was hit hard
in the side of the head.
Injuries would have killed her if she
hadn't gotten two bullets in her back.
So what are you saying?
She was beaten and then shot?
Somebody wanted to make sure.
That's where we found her.
What about the girl?
Did she see anything?
No, she was looking for her mum.
Found her.
The kid went into shock,
naturally enough.
He ran off.
She doesn't remember
very much after that.
That blood on her,
that was her mother's?
Mm.
Now, what have you got for me?
I think someone
may have been after Rosie.
You think? The footsteps.
It sounded like more than one pair.
If someone was after her,
why didn't she say?
Like you said, she was in shock.
I'll look into it.
We follow every path.
You know that.
Yeah.
And you'll pick the one
of least resistance.
Enjoy your trip back to Galway.
Oh, by the way,
when are you giving back the coat?
You're very good to come
*** ***.
Argh!
What the ***? Rosie.
Come on, love.
You come with me.
Delete all.
Argh! What's going on here?
You, get the *** out of here!
So who are you?
I'm Sweeper Man,
I'm Rosie's uncle.
Tell me.
That's the wife, Kathleen.
So you're the one that found her?
Most people would have run away with
he state that poor child was in.
So thanks.
Have yourself a can.
No.
No, I'm good.
How's the little lady holding up?
She's a tough child.
Her mother.
I hear it wasn't a pretty sight.
Nobody deserves what happened
to poor Sinead.
It was only a matter of time.
Don't get all high and mighty with me.
Your brother carved her
regular as rain.
Everyone knew it,
and you did nothing about it.
I had words with him.
Oh, words! Then you fight for
the family honour and everyone bought him a pint?
Happy families.
What Eddie
and Sinead do was nobody's business.
Now he's gone and killer her.
Who's business is that?
He didn't kill her I said.
***.
Loving.
Hello? Bryson? Yeah.
Ah!
Ooh!
Great
Who are you??
You don't remember me?
Whoa! Whoa! Wh!
Cheers.
Nice digs.
Wouldn't have minded a place
like this when I was your age.
I did not get along with me marm.
Snuck out the house
every chance I got.
When I got home, though,
she'd always belt me one.
Give that back!
Look, it'll be dark soon.
If your dad comes and finds you
I said give it back!
How 'bout we head back to camp
and talk there?
I guess that's a no.
Before you decide to sue Mr Mangan
for assault, think on this
Mr Mangan's wife
has just been murdered.
He came back
after intense police questioning
to find a strange man
with his daughter.
It's natural that he reacted
to protect her.
If anything, he could sue you.
Marvellous reasoning, Matlock.
And who the hell are you?
Ronald Bryson.
Er
Solicitor
This your office?
Me people are me clients.
Why would I want to live
anywhere else?
Why, indeed.
It was Sinead's biggest dream.
Her only dream.
She was good too.
It didn't happen for her?
If she hadn't given up.
She did something, and she did it
or life, but it was hard.
With a child.
And a husband.
Hubby didn't approve
of his wife's career choice?
You're a nosey fella.
Force of habit.
It'll be grand, that.
I've got
*** all on me.
It'll be grand.
What! Whoa!
Say it to me face!
Calm the *** down!
That's enough, Eddie.
Come on, mate.
Off with ya.
A thousand.
I apologise about
Bet he surprised ya, huh?
He bloody amazed me.
Yeah, well, don't lie to her.
Years of experience.
Listen.
Thanks for your help,
but it's a family matter.
You know that Rosie's
doing herself harm.
Jesus, I had no idea!
Where'd you find it?
I'd like to make you an offer.
We know what your game is.
We got
tons of cash under our pillows, right?
You look like right pickings,
all right.
We take care of our own problems.
Look, none of youse
is thinking straight.
The Guards, they'll do *** all.
For them it's only tinkers.
Everyone knows they're always
killing each other.
Why do you want to help us?
What's in it for you.
Let's just say I have a soft spot
for the underdog.
We appreciate your offer, Taylor
but we don't know you from Adam.
'Is there anything that you do
that's not a mistake?'
Go on.
Eat up.
Come on over.
Come over you two.
We're grand here.
Do you want to come over, Rosie?
She's grand.
Maybe Rosie would like
to talk to the counsellor again.
Do you want to see that counsellor?
There's your answer.
Come on.
What the!
Get off me!
GET OFF!
Lovely night for a kidnapping.
Come any closer
and you're dead.
I said stop!
If you're gonna do it, do it proper.
Come on! I said do it!
No! Don't let them
Quick! They're taking Rosie!
Do you know them?
We know the van.
Then what are we waiting for?
It's none of your business, Taylor.
Someone points a shotgun at me,
it becomes my business.
Jonjo Kelly, get out here!
What's going on Sweeper?
Where's Rosie? Rosie?
What's happened to Rosie?
What's your game, Jonjo?
Don't tell me you don't know what's
going on in your own back yard.
Why'd you have to do it?
Oh, come on now, Rosie.
Didn't I say I was sorry?
I wanna see Nana and Granddad.
They're sleeping.
We'll see them later.
I wanna see them now!
Are you hungry?
Come on, guess what's for brekkie.
Come on now, Rosie.
You love your pancakes.
Come on.
I wanna go home.
Not a cross word has passed
between our families for ten year.
What's goin' on?
You tell me, Jonjo.
Hold it, Christy.
I'll tell you this, Sweeper,
I know how your blaggard of a
brother treated Sinead,
but I let it lie.
Now he's killed her.
And still I haven't taken it out
on your family.
Why?
Because I'm a man of my word.
When I say our two families
will have peace, I mean it.
Now, you dare to come here,
o a place of mourning
with a shotgun.
Where's Rosie, Jonjo?
You should know where she is!
You're her father.
Someone come on our site and took
Rosie in the middle of the night!
Hey! Hey!
Either you leave here or
Hi, Granddad!
Rosie, love.
My best girl.
What are you looking at me
like that for?
You'll let your daughter rot
while her murderer walks free.
He should be dead!
Rosie should be here with us.
Don't mind him.
He's just upset.
Hmm? Come on, you.
Alright chicken? Mm-hm.
Sweeper, I didn't agree to this.
All right.
We'll leave it.
I'm telling you, Jonjo,
if he comes onto my side again,
without my permission,
I'll break his two legs.
Come on.
The innocent boy.
Rosie.
Chicken.
Oh.
Thanks.
I think.
You got here fast.
So, what were you
doing her in the middle of the night.
I found a lovely picnic spot
around the corner.
Huh.
I made a few phone calls.
You
have reputation down in the West.
Kicked out of the Guards,
fond of the lush.
Wonder if her murderer won't mind?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'd forgotten about that.
Sounded like contrary ***.
On a good day.
A bit like us.
Meaning?
The Guards
will want to pin this on Eddie.
We need to find out
what really happened.
Hang on, here, Sweeper
You report to me and Bryson.
If we find out you're not being
truthful to us, you're outta here.
Caesar has spoken.
Now, payment.
Follow me.
She's not the presidential suite
but it's clean and dry.
My cup overfloweth
If you're gonna work for me
that's the deal.
Better get something straight, pal,
I'm helping you out.
I don't work for you.
You're not my boss.
I'm not an employee.
Are we clear?
A broke man deal.
You understand, right?
'Don't die.
Don't say anything.
'You're gonna be OK.
Just relax.
'
'l just got shot.
'
That's lovely Sinead.
I don't know what your scam is,
Taylor,
but I don't believe you wanna help us
out of the kindness of your heart.
Ronald Bryson.
Solicitor.
Bryson, that's not a Traveller name,
is it?
I'm not here to fight ya.
It says in the papers that
Eddie Mangan's alibi's a bit shaky.
Three fellas with about 30 pints between them
doesn't make for the greatest of alibis.
What's the story
with the Mangans and the Kellys?
Sweeper's family, the Mangans
have had a feud with the Kellys
going back about 50 years at least.
But they made peace?
Thanks to Sinead Kelly.
She didn't give a toss about the
feud.
Drank in the same pubs
as everybody else.
That's where she fell for Eddie.
Did Daddy Kelly approve?
Christ, no.
But Sweeper was sick of the feud.
Saw a chance
to bring the families together.
Made and offer to Jonjo.
Let the kids marry, draw a line
under the past and move on.
And Jonjo accepted just like that?
Sweeper's a stubborn ***.
Jonjo respects him.
In the end, he accepted.
So, what did Sinead see in Eddie?
He got her pregnant.
That's what she saw in him.
What the hell is this?
We got problems enough
without you going crazy on me! Oh!
Come on.
You don't want to ***
the Guards off and be late.
Everything OK here?
Yeah.
Grand.
Me and Bryson done a list
of people to have a grudge against us
and who don't like Travellers.
Talk to these people.
Mind if I start
by having a word with Rosie?
Go ahead.
Them yokes will kill ya.
They'll have to stand
in line.
You were going to let Huey
pull the trigger.
Nah.
Just bluffing.
You're Lying.
Oh?
I could see it in your eyes.
You're not scared of dying.
Why not?
Rosie
I need you to tell me
everything you did last Thursday.
It's somebody I know who got shot.
I couldn't do anything about it.
Was he a friend?
Yeah, he's still alive.
He's in a coma.
Maybe he'll wake up one day.
Maybe not.
Who did it?
Er, this woman I knew.
She's in jail.
Was is your fault so?
It wouldn't have happened if I
Yes.
Yes, it was.
Did you get hurt?
Not anywhere it shows.
What's that mean?
You're smart, you'll figure it out.
Last Thursday I went to school.
Then Mamma picked me up.
We went to Nana and Granddad's.
I watched TV and Nana made muffins.
Then Huey came in,
and he and Mummy argued.
What about?
Dunno.
Her songs, I think.
I was with Nana.
I heard 'em shout.
Why her songs?
Well, Mummy and Huey used to make
songs together.
Sometimes they argued about them.
Rosie
thanks.
That's good of you, mate.
You're not a Guard,
you're not family,
why is this your problem?
Sweeper asked me to check it out.
Go on inside.
Now
last Thursday Sinead and Rosie
came for a visit.
I gather that you and your sister
had a difference of opinion?
See, we had these songs, right?
Good songs.
We were offered a chance to record
by some company in London,
but Sinead, she kept putting
it off.
Because Eddie disapproved?
The company were gonna withdraw the offer unless
we get them a 'yes' or a 'no' by Thursday.
So Thursday was decision time.
Sinead did say she had a plan.
A plan to get Eddie to agree
to let her and Rosie go to London.
So, now she's gone, what are you
gonna do with the songs?
Just what the *** are you implying?
Hey.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That's what you'll find in your
investigation.
You know something I don't?
I know you were hired
by the main suspect.
So you're gonna ignore
the most obvious leads.
Enlighten me.
Tell the man.
A year after the wedding, Eddie
is arrested with a stash of ***.
Who's he working for?
Some woman called Bridie Halligan.
Bridie Halligan?
For five years he's should to shoulder
with murderers and criminals.
He could get one of his murderin' mates
to get rid of Sinead.
A hundred grand?
How did Bridie get it back?
Sweeper and Bryson did some
deal with her.
Bridie didn't come for Eddie?
No.
Nope.
I'd have heard about it.
Talking to Bridie is pointless.
It's ancient history.
Humour me.
This piece of ancient
history doesn't make sense to me.
Eddie, deals drugs
for Bridie Halligan,
gets into huge debt
and gets away with it?
During court proceedings
he never implicated Bridie.
You cross someone like Bridie and she always has to
make a point.
Kneecap them, broken arm, something.
Myself and Bryson paid back
most of what Eddie blew.
I mean, he was small fry, we never heard from her
again.
This is nothing got to do with anything.
There she is.
The perfect mum.
Sorry, love.
Sorry.
I know I'm late.
Can I get your bag? All right?
Have a good day at school, did ya?
Hm?
Good on ya, love.
In you get.
Good boy.
If it's not the chimney sweeper.
I thought I might find you here.
I may not be the greatest role model
a son could have.
But I always drop Billy off
and I always pick him up.
Child needs to know his parents
are there for him.
Daddy there,
agree with that sentiment?
I didn't get your name.
I didn't give it.
Bridie, this is jack Taylor.
He's looking into Sinead's death.
Jack Taylor? I know you.
You're the Galway private ***
that *** over my old mate,
Bill Castle.
That very ***.
And you're the Dublin ***
who weans toddlers on ***.
I like you, Taylor.
You've got manners.
Thanks.
I get that a lot.
So, what do you want with me?
You have a reputation as someone who isn't
very patient with under-performing staff.
Oh, you're interested
in my management style?
I'm interested
in why you let Eddie Mangan off
six years ago,
without a slap on the wrist.
Maybe I had a soft spot for him.
Or maybe you kept him on the payroll
working off his debt.
You should ask Mikey here.
Care to step into me office, ***?
Why? You got a pressie for me?
If you're a good lad, I'll give you
a pressie, all right.
Right here.
I'll wait till Christmas,
if it's all right with you.
Come here.
What the hell
is your problem, Taylor?
Eddie's not working for her.
It's
nothing got to do with anything.
Then why are you getting so upset?
I'm upset because you're doing you
best to get us on Bridie's hitlist.
Which reminds me
Say 'cheese'.
Mikey!
Not here.
Not now.
Nice playing-
Mm.
It's unusual.
How did you get it?
Mama got it for me.
For my birthday.
May I? Mm.
A friend of ours painted it.
Can you play?
Well, I wouldn't call it playing.
Ahh.
Go on.
*** it.
I need five pints in me
to finish that.
Rosie Mm.
Ever seen these two clowns before?
No.
You sure?
Mm.
Mm.
Wait.
That car.
I think I've seen that.
We were down at the petrol station
here Eddie used to work.
You sure it's the same car?
Well, I was with Mum.
Yeah.
We saw a car just like this.
I can't remember when.
A few weeks ago, I think.
But Eddie was talking to somebody
inside the car.
And Mum said we were leaving.
But we didn't get any petrol.
Can you tell me something else?
Thursday night
when your marm went out,
what made you go after her?
I don't know.
I just got a feeling
like something was really bad
was about to happen.
I didn't even put my coat on.
Just ran out.
Didn't know where she had gone.
What did you see?
I didn't see anything.
It was your marm, wasn't it?
She was alive.
What did she say?
Mummy! Mummy! Mummy.
Rosie, you have to go.
No, Mummy.
Not without you.
You have to go.
No.
Please.
Did you see him?
Did you see his face?
Rosie, this is really important.
Did he see you?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
All right.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing here?
Rosie and Kathleen saw you talking
to someone in Bridie's car
down at the petrol station.
Ah.
It was that ***, Mikey.
I worked down at the station.
He was always coming over there
making a point of Pff!
Making me wipe the windscreen,
fill the tank,
check the pressure, the works.
That's all.
Sinead thought different? She
thought you were back with Bridie.
She never said.
She and Huey had been
offered a recording contract in London.
Yeah.
And?
Did she threaten to tell Sweeper about you working
for Bridie unless you let her and Rosie go?
I thought this ***
was on our side.
You didn't know what to do,
you had to think,
so you made a beeline
for the ***.
Sinead met somebody else that night.
Maybe somebody wanted to help her,
but didn't want anyone to know.
This has gone far enough.
That's a fair enough question.
Who would want to help out Sinead?
Somebody who was screwing her.
Shut your gob, Eddie.
Know what your problem is, Sweeper?
You're always trying to hide
how you really feel.
Put on a bit of fancy clobber, so
people don't think you're a Tinker.
Come over all kind and supportive
to your brother,
who you really hate,
and you want to kill him,
and *** his wife!
What's going on? Come on.
Come on.
On me mother's grave,
I'll *** bury ya!
Easy on the brotherly love.
Let me go!
Sweeper!
Easy now.
Will you let go of me?
Take it easy, Eddie.
You don't show your face here again.
Wanna know what Rosie saw?
When she found her marm,
Sinead was still alive.
There was someone at the old house.
Someone who was sobbing.
Sobbing?
She didn't seem to have seen his
face, but he might have seen hers.
Then her life is in danger.
Did Sinead talk to her?
She did.
But she didn't tell me
everything.
I need more time.
Come here.
Rosie is talking.
Might be worth
giving him another few days or so.
You can talk to Rosie
in the morning.
Tonight we'll do shifts
and keep an eye on her.
Taylor, one more chance.
One.
Get ready for bed.
Eddie's little rant.
Any truth in it?
Ah.
People talk.
That's all.
You sure?
You were right about one thing,
Bryson isn't a Traveller name.
M father was from Manchester.
Apparently.
I never knew him.
Marm was, er
She dragged me from pub to pub.
A bottle of whiskey in one hand,
a bottle of formula in the other.
One night, we were out,
I was only about, er, four,
at the time, but I remember this.
We were crossing the road and
she steps out in front of this car.
Died on the spot.
Me.
There wasn't a scratch on me.
Most people would have driven off
but this lad steps out.
A scared-looking, 17-year-old.
Sweeper.
When we were waiting or the ambulance and
the Guards, he held me and talked to me.
Later on, his family took me in.
Made me one of their own.
That's Sweeper.
Responsibility.
He had a crush on Sinead, all right,
but
he'd never act on it.
Jesus Christ!
You couldn't save me, Jack.
You reckon
saving her will make everything all right?
Cody, no.
Rosie!
Rosie!
Rosie!
I'm coming.
Hey! Jesus Christ!
Rosie!
Rosie! Rosie!
Where is she?
There she is!
Come on!
Oh, thank God.
Here, take her.
Take her now.
He's still in there.
Is he still in there?
God, Jesus, Christ!
Hugh Kelly.
It had to be.
For all anyone knew,
Rosie was in there.
I doubt that Hugh Kelly would put her
at risk, however much he hated Eddie.
Maybe he checked
and saw she wasn't in there?
The curtains were pulled.
Eddie
had put fresh padlocks on the door.
Are you defending Hugh Kelly?
What if whoever did this
wasn't trying to get Eddie?
They wanted to get Rosie.
John Christopher Managan,
I'm detaining you
on suspicion of arson and possible homicide.
Hold on a minute.
Bring your solicitor.
What's going on here?
Easy.
I'll sort it.
Where are you taking him?
Stop it.
You're making it worse.
He's done nothing wrong.
You're looking in the wrong place.
Rosie saw who killed her mother.
The state is assuming custody of Rosie
until legal issues are cleared.
She needs 24-hour protection.
Her life is at risk.
Don't waste your time Jack.
These people are just casualties
in an indifferent war.
Ron, call me when you know
what's happening.
What are you doing with Rosie?
You can't take her nowhere
without me!
Don't worry, petal.
They have some explaining to do.
Can we get you something, sweetie?
Hot chocolate, maybe?
I know this is an extremely
difficult time for you,
so we're going to be as brief
as we can.
And anytime you want to stop,
we stop.
OK?
You're a very brave girl.
I made a den in the woods.
I sleep there sometimes.
Dadda was drunk, so I went there.
But I didn't see nothing.
Right.
Grand.
Now, I want to go back to something
that we've spoken about already.
That night, five days ago.
I know that you spoke to jack Taylor
and he told me
that the account you gave him
of that night
is different to the account
you gave to us.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
When you found your mother
did you see anyone?
Yeah.
Can you describe them?
He had a green coat.
A red beard, a tall green hat,
a pipe, and said, 'Top of the
morning to you, Rosie Mangan.
'
Thanks, boss.
Oh, Rosie, love.
Come on.
We're going home.
Hold on.
Hold on.
As her grandfather,
I'm now Rosie's legal guardian.
If you can't decide, it'll be
up to the courts.
Jonjo, don't do this.
Not here, not now.
She is MY granddaughter.
She is coming with me.
Right, Rosie?
Jonjo
you can't take her away from us.
Kathleen
I'm missing
my morning sugar rush.
Now, what have we here?
Chocolate, crisps, chocolate, crisps.
Chocolate.
That narrows it down.
Why'd you tell 'em?
Tell 'em what?
You told that Guard what I told you.
I'm sorry, Rosie.
Your life
could be in danger, I had to-
l thought I could trust you,
but you're just an ***
like all the rest.
Rosie?
Don't you lecture me, neither.
Look.
Get out of here
and we can just ask the child.
Rosie.
Rosie.
Oh, come on, now.
Rosie! Come on, TALK to me.
Rosie!
Rosie!
For God's sake
the poor child.
Rosie.
Jonjo! Rosie!
***!
I believe in justice.
I believe that as a police force
we can really make a difference
in people's lives.
Most of all, I believe that it's the
relationship-
What? Jesus.
Noonan, did I interrupt You
during foreplay.
Is this a bad time?
Why? Will that stop you?
Just trying to be civil.
Ahh, that's a first.
Fine.
Screw the chitchat,
here's the deal.
I need your help.
Christ, what have you done now?
This isn't about me.
Another first.
It's about an 11-year-old kid.
She's done a
runner.
Some bad people wanna kill her.
I need your help.
But if you do
help, you'll be breaking the law.
You really know
how to sell it to a girl.
I don't know who else to turn to.
And don't say that's a first.
I've had enough of you
Did you check with the Malones?
Nobody's seen her there.
The cinema's in town.
She loves the films,
she could be there.
She could be anywhere.
Kate.
What kept you?
Took a wrong turn.
Didn't we all?
This is Kate Noonan.
An old friend.
Kate, this is Kathleen Mangan.
Why? Why'd she run?
She's blaming herself.
For
everything.
It all became too much.
She let her get away.
You can read her mind?
It takes one to know one.
Jack wrote the book on guilt.
She's gone somewhere she feels safe.
Somewhere she connects
with her mother.
But where?
How did you get involved
in all this?
I'm still trying
to figure that one out.
Wrong place, wrong time?
Or the right one.
A birthday present from her mother.
She takes good care of it.
Jimmy Byrne.
Let me see.
Quiet here.
There's a key in the door.
Hello? Anybody home?
Rosie.
Rosie?
Come on.
Talk to me.
That fella giving you bother?
Who the hell are you?
Pushy little so-and-so, isn't he?
I'm Kate, by the way.
I'm a friend of jack's.
What has he done this time
to make you run away?
Yeah, he's a bit scary.
*** me.
Let's see
if we can get that fire going.
Hello?
Kathleen.
It's Jack.
We found her.
Oh Jesus, is she alright?
She's grand.
Here.
Sweeper!
Hello? Hi, chicken.
Thank God you're all right.
So, what you say to her
to get her to come out?
I know To begin with, I just
asked her what she thought of you.
Just annoyed.
And?
And, she said
at first she didn't like you.
Yeah.
Then, later on, she did like you.
She thought you
could become her friend.
Hm.
I said to her,
'You think he's your friend,
and then he messes it all up by
doing something stupid and hurtful.
And it makes you so mad that you
never want to talk to him again!'
Right.
She thought that was funny.
Bye.
Hilarious.
Hey.
Tell me where you are,
we're coming right over.
I think it's better
if she stays here for a while.
Rosie agrees.
Jack Taylor, you tell me
where you are right this minute!
Give us the phone.
Taylor, where are you now?
As long as nobody knows
where she is, she's safe.
I'll check in tomorrow.
If anything
happens to her, I'll kill ya.
If anything happens to her
I'll save you the bother.
He hung up.
He done what?
I don't think this
is a good idea.
It's the only place we know
she won't be found.
I have an interview with the Bureau
of Criminal Investigations tomorrow.
Up the greasy ladder she goes.
I can't stay the night.
We'll be grand.
Right, Rosie?
I'll get some dinner.
OK, honey?
I wanted him to die,
so many times,
for what he did to Mummy, but
He always looks vexed.
Ah, he was born that way.
Is it cos his friend got shot?
He told you about that?
He hasn't even talked to me about it.
So, what happened?
How are you, Christy? Is he in?
Hold on.
I'll get him.
Maybe he's right.
Maybe it's better for now.
It's what Rosie wants.
You should
be more worried about the Shades.
Bryson said they don't have enough to
charge me with.
What do you want?
Somebody wants to have a word.
Who is it?
I'll be back in a minute.
Mr Byrne only stays here in
winter.
I knew where the key was.
And he painted the guitar?
Yeah.
He let us park on the road.
He said Mummy's songs were great.
Eddie didn't like him.
Here it is!
Jack Taylor, master chef.
Who would have thought?
My mother taught me
how to make two things
Irish stew and humble pie.
I'm only good at one of them.
Where?
Get Big john and Knuckles for me.
So, Cody.
Sounds like a nice guy.
Pain in the hole, most of the time.
Yeah.
He's all right.
You know, I think he'll wake up.
From the coma.
I think he'll be all right.
It'll be cold tonight.
Will I leave the door open?
Only if you're afraid of the dark.
Not a word to Kathleen.
Of course not.
Have you?
Did you visit Cody recently?
He's the same.
Unresponsive.
Getting thinner.
I think his marm's losing hope.
he wants to pull the plug on him?
Maybe I should talk to her again.
That's not a good idea.
If he dies
Yeah, I know.
I'll be back before lunchtime.
Kate.
I just wanted to say
drive safely.
Come here, you ***!
What? What the ***?
l just have a feeling.
If we keep pushing
something really bad is gonna happen.
Rosie.
Come on.
Rosie.
You have to stop this.
Why?
You can't blame yourself.
Yes, I can!
What happened to your marm is not your fault.
It's
the fault of the person who pulled the trigger.
Did you pull the trigger
when Cody got shot?
No.
So, it wasn't your fault.
You're right.
It wasn't my fault.
You have to tell me what happened.
It's the only way.
I found Mum.
I heard the man come.
Then I ran.
That's all I remember.
You don't want to remember
so you blocked it out.
When something bad happens,
the mind skips over it.
Well, we'll take it
one step at a time.
I'll be right here with you.
All the way.
Rosie, you have to go.
Please.
No!
Quick!
It's all right.
Shh.
Shh.
The man heard me shout.
That's why he came.
That's why Mummy died.
You had no way of knowing that.
Mum knew.
I shoulda listened.
The man who followed you
did you see his face?
I've told you that already.
I need you to go back
again.
Look at everything you see.
Slowly.
You crawled out from under your marm.
You looked at her.
You turned your head
and saw the man.
You saw the man.
Don't be afraid now.
Just take a good look at him.
What? It's over.
Your job's done.
What are you talking about?
It was Huey Kelly
who burned the caravan.
It was Huey who killed his sister.
No, no.
It's not-
One of Huey's cousins,
Christy Flynn, was part of it.
He came clean.
Says he doesn't want
anything to do with Hugh anymore.
Says he's outta control.
No.
Rosie opened up.
She saw
who killed Sinead.
It was Mikey.
Mikey? Bridie Halligan's Mikey?
Why would he kill Sinead?
I don't have the details, just tell
Sweeper he's got the wrong man.
It's too late.
What do you mean?
Sweeper's gone to nab Huey.
Oh.
The eejit.
Ring him now-
And tell him what?
Listen to me.
You're wrong.
Rosie's
traumatised.
She's imagining things.
Look, I know this sounds quite
strange coming from a man of the law
but Sweeper
is doing the right thing.
If you're not gonna stop him
then I will.
It's over!
Huey Kelly is innocent.
You want his blood on your hands?
Christy Flynn swore-
Shut up and get over here!
I'll give you directions
as you drive.
Rosie, I'm sorry
Come out!
A bullet in the head
in the middle of a field?
I thought you had more class
than that.
Me and you, fair fight.
But only one of us will leave alive.
Right.
Till it's getting too much like a real
fight and have one of them hold me back.
If you beat me, you go clean.
I give you my word on that.
Now, put them on ya.
I didn't kill your brother, Sweeper.
Yeah? Like he didn't kill Sinead.
Go easy on her,
she's had a tough night.
You're not taking her with you? And
witness Uncle Sweeper kill Uncle Huey?
What am I supposed to do
if somebody shows up.
Nobody knows you're here.
You're safe.
You think you're betraying Sweeper,
but you're not.
You're saving him.
Kill him, Sweeper!
Oh! That's it!
Come on.
Get up! Come on!
Come onto me!
Get back in! Come on, I said.
Won't do that to my family
and get away with it.
Come on!
Come on, Huey.
Come-
You ***, you.
That was a good one, all right.
Huh?
Come on! I'm not finished with ya.
COME ON!
Get up! Sweeper.
I didn't do it, but whoever
killed him, Eddie deserved it.
Argh!
This is for Eddie.
Stop it! Huey didn't kill
his sister it was Mikey!
Rosie saw him and he probably tried
to kill her, as well.
Get back, Jack!
I'm sure Rosie will be proud to find
out her real dad is a murderer.
You weren't acting the big brother to
Sinead cos you still had feelings for her.
You wanted to make sure
your daughter was OK.
Has not enough blood been spilled?
Get him to the nearest A&E.
COME ON!
Why would Christy Flynn
lie about Huey?
Why would Mikey want to kill Sinead?
All I know
is Rosie's not making it up.
How do you know about me and Rosie?
I just felt it.
The way she goes to you
and not Eddie.
Does she know?
Just me and Kathleen.
Your wife knows?
I'm no good at keeping secrets.
It was around the time Eddie and
Sinead started seeing each other.
Old Jonjo and the Kellys
were all dead against it.
So were most of ours.
But I liked her.
She had sparkle.
You liked her sparkle, did ya?
Got along, me and her.
I helped her get gigs.
She.
.
it only happened once.
Eddie had passed out,
and Bryson brought him home.
I drove her home, but, I don't know,
it just happened.
You're up, darling.
Sorry about the dramatics,
it's just
the last few days, you know.
Something wrong?
And when Sinead found out
she was pregnant?
Like I said,
she was still going out with Eddie.
I'm not sure how serious it was,
but
You made her marry Eddie
and everyone, including him,
thought Rosie was his child.
I didn't make her do anything.
It was her decision.
Using the marriage and Rosie
to bring peace to the two families.
Even though it took a while for people to get
used to the idea.
Especially poor Bryson.
Bryson??
You're the one I heard crying.
What?
Have you gone mad?
Aargh!
Get off! Rosie!
No!
Sinead and Bryson were together.
That's how we knew her.
After they broke up
Eddie was her rebound.
Rosie? Come on.
ROSIE!
Jack! Rosie?
Jack.
It's Rosie.
He's after me!
Are you there? Rosie!
Oh, Christ! What's going on?
I'll burn in Hell.
Rosie!
Rosie?
Rosie!
Bryson? But you said it was Mikey.
Could have been two of them
that night.
Rosie only saw Mikey.
I don't get it.
Mikey and Bryson?
Rosie?
There's no reason to hide.
Rosie?
I loved your marm, Rosie.
I love you, too.
You know that.
Rosie!
Did Bryson know about Rosie?
No.
He was cut up when Eddie and
Sinead announced their engagement,
but he got on with it.
Did he?
Never married,
always living next door to Sinead.
That doesn't sound like a man
who got on with it.
Rosie!
Rosie!
I'm not gonna hurt ya.
Just come back inside the house,
yeah?
Rosie, sometimes in your mind,
you think you mighta heard things
or seen things, but you didn't.
Darling.
Come inside the house
and I'll explain it to you.
Then, afterwards, we can watch TV.
Look.
I'll put the knife away.
Come on inside, darling.
Ah!
Jack! Jack, I'm over here!
Rosie? Rosie!
Rosie! If you've touched her,
Bryson!
Are you all right?
Did he hurt ya?
No.
I hurt him.
I wanted to kill him,
but I couldn't.
I shouldn't have left you.
I let you down.
I'm not a baby.
I know that, but,
I said I'd protect you and I didn't.
I can take care of myself.
I won't leave you again.
That's a promise.
Try and get some rest now.
The deal with Bridie Halligan
ten years ago, what was it?
You work for her?
I did it for Sinead.
It meant she was safe.
Not safe enough.
It was a simple pick-up.
There I was, with a bag of money
waiting for Mikey to show up,
freezing my *** off
in some lousy ghost estate,
but all I could think about
was the Look in Sinead's eyes,
from earlier,
when we talked in the evening.
It was the old look.
The old sparkle.
He'd had enough.
She was finally
ready to leave Eddie,
and go somewhere else,
start a new life.
After ten years
it was time for me to act.
I had an idea.
A mad idea.
I had an hour, two at the most.
I'd either be dead,
or if I got it right,
I'd get it all.
What's going on?
Why are we meeting here?
How much have you got?
It's for you.
You and Rosie.
For a new life.
America.
Australia.
You name it.
Is it real?
This is our chance, here and now.
You, me and Rosie.
We can get away.
Far away, where nobody can find us.
Where did you get this?
Well, I didn't win it
in the Lottery, I can tell you that.
Where did you get it?
Did you never wonder
why Bridie Halligan,
stayed off Eddie's back
after he *** up?
You and Sweeper paid her up.
Eddie cost her more than 100 grand.
He brought the Guards down on her.
Worst, he made her look bad.
She wanted to make him suffer.
She was going to kill you and Rosie.
I could give her the dirt on
politicians, guards, lawyers.
In the end, having me on board
for free, forever,
made more business sense
than killing you.
For ten years
I've done her dirty work,
broke every Law I ever believed in,
put my life and my career at risk
but I did it all for you.
This is our chance.
I never asked you to do anything.
Would you rather I had let you die?
No.
The clock is ticking.
Mikey will know by now that
I'm not coming with the money.
He'll already be looking for me.
We need to grab Rosie and go.
Now.
They'll come after ya.
After us.
I can't do it, Ron.
I can't.
I know this is risky.
Not like this.
Not with that hanging over me.
Let me get this straight.
I save your life by compromising
everything I've ever believed in,
and now you're ready
to watch me die?
Of course not.
It's not that simple.
But it is!
If You look inside your heart
you'll see that it is.
We're meant to be together.
Always have.
You're a good and brave man, Ron.
Hurry, leave before they come,
take the bread, be happy.
Condescending ***, ya!
You think I did this for myself?
I'm going.
You do what you like.
Hats off, Ron.
I did not think you had that in ya.
How did you find me?
Your car's parked outside your
office.
I just followed the music.
Bridie needs me.
I've given her so much.
And, you know, I can give her more,
you know.
Ron Bryson.
The gift that keeps on giving.
I could have ran.
I could have went to the airport.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
Please!
I'll give you one thing.
You lasted a lot longer
than I thought you would.
***.
By the time he got back
l was still sitting there.
The girl had got away.
He was raging.
If she'd seen him,
seen anything
A mistake like that, Bridie Halligan
would have your head on a plate.
And that was your way out.
I told him
I'd take care of the girl.
We'd be better off
keeping it between us.
And neither one of you
breathed a word to Bridie?
And the fire? It was you.
Christy's confession?
I needed a way to draw you out.
Christy only swayed
for about two grand.
I'm sorry.
So what are you looking for?
Forgiveness? Understanding?
Sweeper!
Get down!
Jack
How many are there?
Two at least.
What's going on?
Come on.
Through there.
What are we gonna do?
We fight.
These men want to kill us.
I need you to understand something.
I will not let that happen.
OK?
Stay where you are.
What?
Stay!
Take her out the back way and into the
woods.
Ring the Guards.
I'll delay them.
You said you wouldn't leave me.
I said I'd protect you,
that's what I'm gonna do.
I won't forget this, Jack.
Go, go, go!
Come on then.
No, no.
This way.
No, please.
No!
There's something you need to know.
Get up, Daddy.
I already know.
Mummy told me ages ago.
Now, come on!
I can't go any further.
I can't go any further.
I did catch you so.
I wasn't sure.
Do you want to run again?
Get away from her!
Lazarus has risen
Jack!
Lazarus is down again.
Do you know something?
I *** hate kids.
I said get away from her!
Thanks for the pressie.
You don't really give two ***
do you Taylor?
As a matter of fact, I do.
I am a straight man!
I have the height of respect for you,
that's why I'm calling you here.
What's important here is the child.
I understand.
What's he saying to them?
Everything.
About Bryson.
About Sweeper
being Rosie's real father.
That's gone down like a lead
balloon.
He's taking a chance.
It could reignite the feud.
But Jonjo's no fool.
They all love Rosie.
That helps.
You're not gonna say goodbye
to your crowd?
Do I ever?
Save you the bus ticket home?
Get in! We can do it nicely
or I'm coming to get ya.
Either way, I'm comimg.
No he's not!
How's the leg, Sweeper?
Think you'll ever walk again?
Anything happens to him,
we'll come looking for you.
If you do you'll lose more than me.
A lot more.
Maybe.
But we'll bite chunks out of you.
Times are hard,
competition is fierce,
but if we sense blood,
You're talking out of your ***, knacker.
And you know it.
You don't want a war with me.
If you're half as clever
as you think you are,
you don't want a war with us,
either.
Breathe in deeply, Jack,
cos when you go,
and it'll be soon
you won't notice.
You mad yokes, you.
You were gonna leave
without saying goodbye.
Well, no.
Well, what I mean is,
I'm not very good at that stuff.
Then don't.
Don't what?
Don't leave.
I'll be singing
some of Mummy's songs later.
I want you
to play the guitar for me.
Oh, Christ, no.
You heard the lady, Jack.
Please?
You're such a push-over.
Sir.
What happened?
