00:00I didn't expect to solve anything. I didn't expect it to change my life.
00:09But most of all...
00:13I didn't expect Dove.
00:22Vertek?
00:26It's Dove!
00:31Jesus. How long have you been holed up in here?
00:37Vertek?
00:45Vertek?
01:00Vertek?
01:31Hiya. Is this Dave's Halloween party?
01:39Thanks, mate.
01:41I've been investigating this story for 18 months. There's no way I'm stopping now.
02:02Dove, your key informant just hung himself.
02:05Which is why I need...
02:06Work for the Guardian, OK? We say to keep your head down, stay home and let the police do their job.
02:12No, I need to work. I have to. I need this, Damien.
02:17It's out of my hands.
02:19I'm coming back in.
02:21I am your editor and I'm telling you there is no way you're coming into the office.
02:25I've been staring at my bedroom wall for two days. I'm not running away.
02:29And I'm supposed to be in a meeting right now explaining this shit show to the board.
02:33Well, tell them the truth. I've nothing to hide.
02:35I'm trying to protect you.
02:37I don't need protecting.
02:39You need to get out of town.
02:41No. I've done nothing wrong.
02:44OK.
02:48I have to put you on something else. Temporarily.
02:53Ireland? No way. Why the fuck would I go back there?
02:58Have you heard of Gilbert Powell?
03:00Who?
03:01He's a podcaster we're working with.
03:03Christ, Damien.
03:04We need you out of sight.
03:06And he needs someone who knows the lay of the land.
03:08No way. No, I haven't been back in fucking years.
03:11He's won a Peabody award. He's a big deal.
03:14OK, we're partnering with him on a true crime series.
03:17True crime podcasts aren't journalism. They're necrophilia.
03:20True crime is big business for us.
03:23I'm an investigative journalist.
03:25I will work on a true crime podcast over my dead body.
03:28Yeah. Yeah, good idea, Dove.
03:30That's exactly what we need.
03:32Another body.
03:36Bodies? I'm not interested in bodies.
03:39I'm about empathy.
03:41People talk about true crime being sensationalist,
03:44but you know what's really sensational?
03:46Just listening to people tell their story.
03:49There's nothing more interesting.
03:51Yeah, totally.
03:53Right? The best stories are always mysteries.
03:56And there's only one true mystery.
03:59The human heart.
04:02People will listen to that, will they?
04:04Wait, Dove? Are you Dove?
04:06Oh, my God, it's so nice to meet you.
04:09So Damien was telling me all about you.
04:13Like what?
04:15Good stuff. Yeah, good stuff.
04:18Do you know our researcher, Emmy?
04:20I'm Emmy Scissor. I work in the digital department.
04:24We've actually met a couple of times.
04:26No, I don't think so.
04:28Oh.
04:31Um, so I've organized everything.
04:34Accommodation is sorted. Interviews lined up.
04:36I've got Matt. I've hired a driver for the week.
04:39Sean O'Shea. How Irish is that?
04:42I've actually been trying to learn Irish,
04:44which is a really difficult, um, difficult language.
04:47Hey, hey, this is going to be so much fun.
04:51Look at us. The dream team.
04:53Barkin has no idea what's about to hit it.
05:00MUSIC PLAYS
05:31MUSIC CONTINUES
05:52I'm just so excited to be here.
05:55Look at this green. It's so green. I love it.
05:59It's, like, exactly the green I imagine, you know?
06:02So I've prepared a quick itinerary.
06:04We'll drop our bags at the guest house,
06:06then go up to Albers Hollow, where the champagne festival is held,
06:09and then I found a nice pub for dinner.
06:11Samhain. Excuse me?
06:13Samhain. It's pronounced Samhain.
06:16Oh, sorry. Samhain.
06:20So you lads here for the festival next week?
06:22No, but... Yes.
06:24We're here to investigate the Samhain mystery.
06:27That old thing? Jesus, I wasn't even born when that happened.
06:31Oh, but it's so fascinating.
06:33I had a small-town mystery unsolved for 25 years.
06:37Three unconnected people go missing on the Irish Night of the Dead,
06:41and now the town is reviving the Samhain festival?
06:44And it's a great story lens for a podcast.
06:46Right, yeah. And people will listen to that, do they?
06:50People love true crime.
06:52They love small towns and they love Ireland.
06:54It's a four-quadrant story.
06:56And in the podcast, will you mention me?
06:59Maybe, if you're part of the story.
07:01Savage!
07:06And where are you from, then?
07:09London. No, no, no.
07:11I mean, where are you from originally?
07:14You sound like a Dubliner. Are you a Dub?
07:17Sure.
07:22I'm from Romania, meself.
07:27Oh, my God.
07:29Oh, my God.
07:31Can you believe this?
07:33Oh, wow, you know, I've always thought that Ireland
07:36was the most beautiful country in the world.
07:39Smile, you're on video.
07:41Oh, this is perfect.
07:43And the air is so clean.
07:45And the air is so fresh.
07:47Oh, my God.
07:49Oh, my God.
07:51Oh, my God.
07:53Oh, my God.
07:55The air is so clean.
07:57It just feels so nourishing.
08:06We're teaming up with Gilbert for the podcast.
08:08He's the producer, I'm just the researcher.
08:10You do this sort of thing often, do you?
08:12Actually, it's my first time out in the field.
08:15It's, like, so exciting.
08:17Exciting?
08:20Wouldn't be the word I'd use.
08:23But, you know, I'm sure we could work something out.
08:28Yeah.
08:29Hey, Sean, who's that?
08:31Oh, Shitpants.
08:33Yeah, I'm sorry.
08:34Shitpants?
08:35No, that's just what people call him.
08:38He went off to Silicon Valley, came back with a load of cash.
08:42That's his server firm there.
08:44A server firm?
08:45Yeah.
08:46Ireland's the tech capital of Europe, you know.
08:48Oh, that's amazing.
08:50Wait, wait, wait.
08:51But there's still, like, small point stuff here, too, right?
08:55Whatever you want, boss.
08:57I'll get it for you.
08:58Okay, good.
09:03My sunglasses.
09:04Fuck off.
09:07Doug, did you just tell that girl to fuck off?
09:10Yeah, you should try it sometime, Gilbert.
09:13Very nourishing.
09:20Let's go.
09:47Sean! Sean!
09:51Barry.
09:52Sean.
09:53Carl.
09:54Who's your friends?
09:55You lads on your holidays?
09:57Oh, no, we're here for work.
09:58We're making a podcast.
10:00A podcast? In Bodkin?
10:01Mm-hmm.
10:02And you do that for a job?
10:04Making podcasts?
10:06Sure.
10:07And you've come from America to do a podcast in Bodkin?
10:11And people will listen to it?
10:13Yeah, doing some show about the lads that went missing in town.
10:16Oh, that old thing?
10:17Oh, did you live here when it happened?
10:19Oh, yes.
10:21But, you know, it could have been anything.
10:25They were probably caught by a rogue wave.
10:28A rogue wave?
10:29My aunt got caught by one.
10:31Came up to our net.
10:33And, of course, they were messing with the stones up in the hollow.
10:37The stones?
10:38Are you touched?
10:40Stones?
10:41Fairies, Gilbert.
10:43He's talking about fucking fairies.
10:45Listen, lads, be well, yeah?
10:47Stay out of trouble, Barry, yeah?
10:49I hope it keeps fine for you.
10:50Yeah, I hope it keeps fine for you, too.
11:03Hello.
11:04Hello.
11:05Hi, Mrs O'Shea, I'm Emmy Scissor.
11:06I called you earlier.
11:07We're staying with you this week.
11:08Right.
11:10OK.
11:11Come on.
11:12In you come.
11:13So you're from America, then?
11:15Chicago, originally.
11:17Oh, Chicago.
11:19I had a couple here from Chicago a few years ago.
11:22What was their name?
11:24Roger.
11:25He was Roger, yeah?
11:27And I want to say Beth.
11:30Roger and Beth.
11:31Do you know them?
11:33I don't think so, yeah.
11:36Well, Chicago.
11:38I believe it's lovely.
11:40Apart from all the crime, obviously.
11:42Well, yeah, sure.
11:44You know, we get four seasons in one day here.
11:47Four seasons in one day?
11:49I love it.
11:50Have you got a good coat?
11:51Well, I have this one.
11:53Yeah, but do you have a good one?
11:55Now, I'm sure you'll be wanting a cup of tea.
11:59I've just made a pot.
12:01Can we actually come and dance?
12:04Oh, sure, would you have a cup of tea?
12:07Do you own a dog, Mrs. O'Shea?
12:09A dog?
12:10No.
12:11Now, about that tea.
12:13I have to warn you, we don't put cream in our beverages here.
12:17Cream is a treat.
12:19I know what you Americans are like.
12:21What's your cholesterol?
12:23I used to be a nurse, you know.
12:25I don't know what you Americans are like.
12:27I used to be a nurse, you know.
12:29I don't know what you Americans are like.
12:31I used to be a nurse, you know.
12:33Cholesterol.
12:34I used to be a nurse, you know.
12:37Would you like me to take your blood pressure?
12:39I think I'm good.
12:42Good, but we do actually need to dash if we're going to make it to Alvis Hollow in time.
12:45Alvis Hollow?
12:46Yeah, we're making a podcast about the people who disappeared at Samhain.
12:50A podcast?
12:51And will people listen to it?
12:53Yes.
12:54How does everybody else know?
12:56Oh, Mrs. O'Shea?
12:59Oh, love.
13:02Would you look at that?
13:04I'd lose my own head if it wasn't screwed on.
13:07Are you okay, Mrs. O'Shea?
13:12Mrs. O'Shea?
13:15We should go.
13:28So this is Alvis Hollow.
13:31These stones are very atmospheric.
13:33You can feel how old it is.
13:35So, every year on October 31st, the town would gather here for the Samhain festival.
13:41But it was that night, 25 years ago, after the festivities ended,
13:45they discovered that three people had disappeared.
13:48So cool. So cool.
13:51Hi.
13:52Hi.
13:53How are you? I'm Dara.
13:54Oh, we spoke on the phone. I'm Emmy.
13:55Lovely to meet you.
13:56Gilbert.
13:57Dara owns all this land.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Take your time and have a look around.
14:00But don't stray too far.
14:02I have a melancholy bullock in the next field.
14:04And so right here is where the town used to have the Samhain festival?
14:08Yeah, every year.
14:09The whole town would match up.
14:11It'd be a big party.
14:12To be honest, these days it's mostly used for a sneaky ride.
14:15So it gets plenty of views.
14:17So people ride horses here?
14:21A handsome fella like you will walk it out quick enough.
14:24I'll leave you to it.
14:27Ride means sex.
14:29Oh.
14:34How's it going with Gilbert?
14:35Everyone says he's a genius.
14:37He thinks Ireland is some kind of Disneyland.
14:40Why not take a leaf out of his book and treat it like a holiday?
14:43Have a great time with him and Emmy.
14:45Have you met them?
14:46They're very...
14:48upbeat.
14:49It's like they're in a cult.
14:51Podcasters are journalists, same as you.
14:53Long before trick-or-treating.
14:55Before the costumes.
14:57Before horror films.
14:59Halloween had another name.
15:02Samhain.
15:04So cool.
15:06I have a real story back home, an important one.
15:09I've got no fucking clue how to make a podcast.
15:11What the hell am I doing here?
15:12You're protecting your career.
15:14And the paper.
15:15We need to be careful.
15:17I've got to go, Damien.
15:18I'm off to enjoy my incredible holiday.
15:22So, the missing woman is Fiona Doyle.
15:24She was a schoolteacher.
15:26Okay. Does she have any family in town?
15:28Her parents are deceased.
15:29No siblings I can find, but she does have a cousin here, Bridget.
15:32Oh, great. We'll start there.
15:34Now, the man who disappeared is a different story.
15:36His name was Malachy O'Connor,
15:38but I can't find much more info than that.
15:40And the boy, there's literally no information about him.
15:42I can't even find his name.
15:44It's like he never even existed.
15:46Oh, my God.
15:47Over there. Over there.
15:50There's a nun.
15:51A nun in a pub.
15:54Love this country.
15:56Okay, anyway.
15:57So, what I'm hoping will really elevate this podcast
16:00is the whole mystical sounding, right?
16:02It's very atmospheric.
16:04And I want to try to find, like, you know,
16:06lots of Irish folk stories and myths, you know,
16:09and we should definitely try and find more people talking about fairies.
16:12Jesus, Gilbert, it's not literal.
16:15No one actually believes there are tricksy little people
16:17running around causing mischief.
16:19It's just a way of not having to think about the things
16:22you don't want to think about.
16:24Three people disappeared, Gilbert.
16:26Now, if you want to get to the truth,
16:27I wouldn't waste your time in a Taurus trap of a pub like this.
16:30We need to find the real Bodkin.
16:35Sean, let's go.
16:37Great voice.
16:38Pleasure doing business as always, yeah?
16:50Better.
17:03What can I get you?
17:05Three Guinness.
17:07Hi there.
17:13Well, this is a proper old man's visa.
17:15It's a traditional pub.
17:19It's lovely.
17:21We took the plunge.
17:22Dropped everything.
17:23Quit our jobs, bought a van.
17:25We were planning on driving across Europe,
17:27but we can't quite bring ourselves to leave West Cork.
17:30We love it here.
17:31Well, what's not to love?
17:33So, this podcast, are you doing that thing
17:36where you say it's about one thing,
17:38but it's actually about something else?
17:41Easy, darling.
17:42What?
17:43No, no, no, she's right.
17:44It's a convention, but it's not my thing.
17:46So, how are you going to solve it?
17:48Well, it's not really about solving it.
17:50It just has all the elements of an amazing story.
17:53Podcasting is very competitive,
17:55and true crime really pops in the market.
17:57And it does merit to be in such a beautiful place.
18:01Gilbert Budcombe might have a nice waterfront,
18:03but I guarantee you, bad things happen here
18:05just like everywhere else.
18:19A storm of grief
18:25When you're far away
18:31From the home that you'll soon be leaving
18:36Tis many's a time
18:39By night and by day
18:44That your heart will be solely grieving
18:49For the stranger's land may be bright and fair
18:55And rich in its treasures golden
19:01You'll pine, I know
19:06For the long, long ago
19:10And the heart that is never old
19:26Oh, my God.
19:28Yeah, just so you know, that's not normal.
19:31Right, we're not all singing and doing
19:33fucking river dance all the time, yeah?
19:37Fuck this.
19:41Excuse me.
19:44Hey.
19:45That was, uh, amazing.
19:49Don't mind Teddy.
19:51He's gone back to sea.
19:54I'll have to hear it when we have an American podcaster in town.
19:57Yes, sir.
19:58But actually, I'm Irish.
20:00Gilbert Barron.
20:02Seamus Gallagher.
20:04Yeah, Seamus Gallagher.
20:06And you're Irish, are you?
20:08Mm-hmm.
20:09You don't say?
20:10I do say.
20:11Yeah, my great-grandfather was Michael Power from Cork.
20:15Michael Power?
20:17Yes, sir.
20:18From Cork, you say?
20:20Yeah.
20:21Well, now, that would make us mortal enemies.
20:26What?
20:27Your great-grandfather was a thief,
20:29and he stole five acres of land from my great-grandfather.
20:33Now I'm going to have to ask you to leave before things get ugly.
20:36Uh...
20:38First of all, I'm sorry. I didn't...
20:40I mean, that was obviously generations before...
20:43Oh, you're messing with it.
20:45Gilbert Power.
20:47Come on, now. I'll buy you a drink.
20:49I'll introduce you to the lads.
20:54Do you think I could get him to sign a will for me?
21:00OK.
21:04Spare a smokey?
21:06A quiz.
21:08Too bad.
21:12I hear you're interested in the lads that went missing on Sown.
21:16I know what happened to them.
21:20Oh, yeah?
21:22But I shouldn't really say.
21:30They were attacked.
21:32Attacked?
21:34By horses.
21:37You should never trust a horse.
21:40I once saw a horse run seven times around a field,
21:43and then it turned into a woman.
21:45Right.
21:48She was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
21:53Horses.
21:55They'll only break your heart.
21:58Fucking hell.
22:02Come on, get in.
22:11Hang on, we're trying to drink.
22:17Hey, why is nobody else drinking?
22:27Oh, Christ, what is it now?
22:29There's a reason I left this fucking country.
22:31Who gives a flying fuck what happened here 20 years ago?
22:35There's only one fucking mystery in Bodkin,
22:37it's why anyone would fucking stay.
22:39Daph, help Gilbert with his podcast,
22:41or find yourself another job.
22:43Am I understood?
22:45Do not call me again.
23:02Oh, hi, hon.
23:05Yeah, yeah, it's a great time.
23:12Oh.
23:13Hmm.
23:14Hmm.
23:15Hmm.
23:16Hmm.
23:17Hmm.
23:18Hmm.
23:19Hmm.
23:20Hmm.
23:21Hmm.
23:22Hmm.
23:23Hmm.
23:24Hmm.
23:25Hmm.
23:26Hmm.
23:27Hmm.
23:28Hmm.
23:29Hmm.
23:30Hmm.
23:32Well, that's, uh...
23:33That's weird.
23:35Uh...
23:36Uh...
23:37Yeah, well, you know, don't worry about it.
23:39It's not a problem.
23:40You know, I just gotta...
23:42Uh...
23:43Move some money around.
23:48Amber, it's...
23:50It's nothing to worry about.
23:53Amber.
23:54Amber, fuck!
23:55I will take care of it, okay?
24:00I'm sorry.
24:02I'm sorry.
24:11It's your boy, Sean.
24:12Actually, it's your boy, Sean.
24:16Hi.
24:18Hey.
24:25You look psychic, Gilbert.
24:27I just need some Tylenol and coffee and I'll be fine.
24:30Have you seen Dove?
24:31Mm-mm.
24:33Oh, thank you.
24:34Yeah.
24:37Hey.
24:39I suppose if you're wanting some breakfast...
24:41Please.
24:42Thank you.
24:54Gilbert.
24:55Hmm?
24:56I'll get through to Sean.
24:57It's annoying because his car is outside but he's not picking up.
24:59Tylenol.
25:00Coffee.
25:01Sean.
25:04Morning.
25:07Out of curiosity, do you drive?
25:09What?
25:10Do you drive?
25:11No.
25:12Okay.
25:14Cool.
25:15Where's Sean?
25:16He's gone AWOL.
25:18What's the deal with Sean?
25:20Deal?
25:21Yeah, where'd you find him?
25:22Online.
25:23I think he just does odd jobs and taxes people around.
25:26It's your boy, Sean.
25:28Actually, it's your boy, Sean.
25:29Okay, so, guys, we've got to get going.
25:31We've got an interview lined up with the Garda who investigated the mystery
25:34and then I think Gilbert wanted to...
25:35Where does Sean live?
25:37Um...
25:39It's...
25:40Oh, 27 Portola Road.
25:42We should start there.
25:43Why?
25:45Just a hunch.
25:46Okay, but, um, as I said, we do need to get going and...
25:49Oh, you can do your own things, is there?
25:51I actually just prefer to be called Emmy.
25:54Emmy's a very twee name, like your Bronte sister or something.
25:58Why be an Emmy when you can be a scissor?
26:01Okay.
26:02Also, I think this whole true crime thing is morally bankrupt.
26:05Okay, yeah.
26:06It's just a distraction.
26:07That's what true crime podcasts are, like a public hanging.
26:11There's a story here that actually matters.
26:13I think Sean knows something about it.
26:15We should probably stay together, though, right?
26:18No.
26:25Oh, thank you.
26:31It's your boy, Sean.
26:33No, I'm not hungry.
26:46Portola...
26:48Road.
26:54Portola...
27:19For fuck's sake.
27:21So first we'll try the cousin, Bridget,
27:23who's about the missing woman.
27:24Fiona.
27:25Right, yes.
27:26And then, um, Sergeant Rory Power was the local guarder
27:29when the disappearance has happened.
27:31Apparently he's still working.
27:32His name is Power?
27:33Uh, yes, Sergeant Rory Power.
27:35Cool if we're related.
27:37I think it's a pretty common name here.
27:40Distant cousins, maybe?
27:42Maybe.
27:44Do you know where Portola Road is?
27:46Portola Road?
27:47I wouldn't be starting here.
27:50I need directions.
27:52Oh, you must be one of the podcasters.
27:54I just need to find Portola Road.
27:56So sad.
27:57She was a lovely girl, Fiona.
27:59Used to teach up at the school.
28:01Of course, that closed down long ago.
28:03Cuts.
28:04You practically have to drive all the way into Skibbereen.
28:06And she was a lovely girl.
28:08She was a lovely girl.
28:10Cuts.
28:11You practically have to drive all the way into Skibbereen now
28:13to find a decent primary school.
28:15Directions?
28:16Portola Road, please.
28:17Oh, I didn't leave my house.
28:19But three weeks after that, someone was terrified.
28:22It was probably some sick murder, I've no doubt.
28:25I watch a lot of these documentaries.
28:28These killers plan these things out.
28:31Lie in wait for the perfect timing.
28:35Oh.
28:3916.
28:40This should be where Bridget lives.
28:41Great.
28:44Now, the thing to remember about these initial conversations
28:47is that you need to be very delicate.
28:49Okay?
28:50Yeah?
28:51Hi there.
28:52Are you Bridget Pierce?
28:53You the podcasters?
28:54Yes.
28:55Yes, we are.
28:58Okay.
29:00Does that happen a lot?
29:02Occupational hazard.
29:04We might come around, though, as we spend more time in town.
29:12So, the guard?
29:14Yeah.
29:15Okay.
29:34So, what's the plan for the interview?
29:36Police officers can be tricky.
29:38Sure.
29:39It's good to be very deferential.
29:41They're not used to being the ones answering questions.
29:43Sure, yeah.
29:44I tend to just feel my way through.
29:47Depending on how it's going, I might take a small risk or two.
29:50It's important to keep your eyes open and look for opportunities,
29:53but really we're just trying to establish a rapport
29:56so we can follow up later if we need to.
29:59Risk, rapport, opportunity.
30:02Hang on, I just want to write this down.
30:09Is it raining?
30:10I can't tell.
30:12I think it's just sort of a wet breeze.
30:14It's always raining in Ireland.
30:17Even when you think it's dry, it's still raining.
30:20Only very, very small drops.
30:24Are we looking for Sergeant Power?
30:32This way?
30:36All right.
31:02Hello?
31:18Hello?
31:21John?
31:32John?
31:45John?
31:49John, you there, boy?
31:56Is it all sorted?
31:57You just can't afford any more fuck-ups, yeah?
32:00You there, John?
32:02John?
32:16It's your boy, Sean.
32:18Actually, it's your boy, Sean's phone.
32:22Fucking ages.
32:33Hello?
32:35I get it.
32:36It all sounds like a big mystery,
32:38but truth be told, there isn't much to tell.
32:42Samhain is just a bit of fun.
32:45You know, it's why you wear costumes on Halloween.
32:48Really?
32:49Oh, yeah.
32:50Because on Samhain, you wear costumes.
32:52Oh, yeah?
32:53Yeah.
32:54It's just a bit of fun.
32:56You know, it's why you wear costumes on Halloween.
32:59Really?
33:00Oh, yeah.
33:01Because on Samhain, you had to wear a disguise,
33:03otherwise the spirits of your dead relatives would find you.
33:06Well, wouldn't that be nice?
33:08Like, to see your family again?
33:10No.
33:11Because if they liked you, they'd stick around.
33:14And no-one wants that.
33:16And if they didn't like you,
33:19well, best to disguise yourself.
33:23Milk?
33:24Oh, no.
33:25Sugar?
33:26No, thank you.
33:27Well, look, that's so fascinating.
33:29You don't think there's much of a story here?
33:32This is rural Ireland.
33:34It's not quite what you're used to back in America,
33:36where you're swimming in crime.
33:38I mean, we've never even had a serial killer in Ireland.
33:42Well, there was the Vanishing Triangle disappearances in the 90s.
33:45Six women gone without a trace.
33:47I mean, just because you've never prosecuted a serial killer
33:49doesn't mean that you haven't.
33:55This is a small town.
33:57Things get blown out of proportion.
33:59Rumors spread quickly.
34:01But why cancel the festival?
34:03Those lads disappeared and the festival got the blame.
34:06You ask me, they probably just left and didn't tell anyone.
34:10A bit of sow and hide jinx.
34:12That's all.
34:14Okay.
34:15Okay.
34:16Hmm.
34:19You know, Sergeant, you and I have the same last name.
34:24My name is Gilbert Power.
34:28You don't say.
34:29I do say.
34:31Well, how about that?
34:35We might even be related.
34:37Yeah, maybe.
34:41Tell me about this thing you're making.
34:43A podcast, is it?
34:44Yes, sir.
34:45And people will listen to it?
34:47I hope so.
34:48How about a little Irish twist?
34:50Oh, I shouldn't.
34:51I overdid it a little bit last night.
34:53Go on.
34:54Hair of the dog.
34:55Thank you.
34:58For look.
35:00So, I guess I'm just curious about your background.
35:03How do you get started in these things, anyway?
35:05Well, I worked in public radio for a long time.
35:08And you're an assistant?
35:10Well, I'm a researcher.
35:12An assistant researcher.
35:14How about that?
35:17Slainte.
35:21Slainte.
35:28You know, we've never even had a serial killer in Ireland.
35:32We're a naturally good people.
35:57Oh, never, oh never, oh never again.
36:25Everybody lived to a hundred or a hundred and ten.
36:30I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up.
36:35Had to drink in the court of the genny.
36:42Jesus.
36:43Wish you'd rolled him on his side.
36:47So he doesn't drown in his own sake.
36:49There we go.
36:56You all right there, Sergeant Power?
36:59This is really bleak.
37:01Tell them I'm not crazy.
37:04Tell them I'm not mad.
37:06It was only a sup of the cider I had.
37:19Emmy?
37:20Emmy!
37:22We should head.
37:23Yeah.
37:25Let's go.
37:40Fucking podcast.
37:55Fuck.
38:25Fuck.
38:55You have a strange method of making a podcast.
38:59I'm just taking a break.
39:00Out on a stroll.
39:05I just live up the road there.
39:07Small cottage.
39:09With a red door.
39:11Yeah?
39:12No need to be sneaking around after me.
39:17I'm just a curious person.
39:21This is a quiet town with good people.
39:24And you want to dredge up all this Samhain nonsense.
39:27For why?
39:28For a podcast?
39:30I've heard they're popular.
39:32And what if we don't want a podcast made about our town?
39:36Ever think about that?
39:38You know, I read all sorts of things in the newspapers.
39:40You know the weather's gonna kill us all.
39:43Do you think you'd have something more important to do
39:46than to come down here and rile us all up?
39:48Have we met before?
39:50Huh?
39:51It's just...
39:52I feel like I know you from somewhere.
39:54I'm a fisherman from Bodkin.
39:56Fucking famous, me.
40:00Let the past go.
40:02It's done nothing to you.
40:22Fuck.
40:52Fuck.
41:23What's that?
41:25A folder.
41:26I found it in Sergeant Power's house.
41:28What?
41:29When you were putting him down, I had a little look around his office
41:32and found this.
41:33It's from the year of the Samhain disappearances.
41:35Emmy, what the hell?
41:36I mean, this is theft.
41:38We need to take it back.
41:40You said to look for opportunities.
41:41No, no, I meant in the interview.
41:43Opportunities for questions.
41:45I didn't mean to steal his property.
41:47But it was just lying there.
41:48Imagine what might be in here.
41:49Imagine if we can solve this.
41:51No, we're not detectives.
41:52We're not here to solve this.
41:54We're just here to tell a story.
41:56Oh, Jesus, Emmy.
42:08What the fuck?
42:10Listen up.
42:11Things could go very badly for you
42:13if you keep snooping into things that don't concern you.
42:15What?
42:16Drop the podcast bullshit.
42:17Go home before you get really hurt.
42:21Okay.
42:38Oh, my God, that's Joan's car.
42:42I came to Bodkin to tell a story.
42:45A bit of fun.
42:46Something to listen to on your drive home.
42:49You don't understand, then,
42:50how much power a story actually has.
42:55But stories can change us.
42:59Stories can kill.
43:02Fuck off, wolf.
