00:07:14Can I ask you some questions? Do you mind?
00:07:20How much did you pay for one of those?
00:07:23A few quid. Anyway, it's cheaper to rent someone else's needle.
00:07:28What about the score?
00:07:31First one's free.
00:07:33Well, I heard five pounds.
00:07:38Where'd you get the cash from?
00:07:41Where'd you get the cash for all this?
00:07:43I just said to some broad like you,

00:07:53How old are you?
00:07:55What's it to you?

00:09:09What'd you have to go and shoot your mouth off to the guards about me for, huh?
00:09:13Did you think I wouldn't find out it was you?
00:09:18You know, um...
00:09:20I was thinking about killing you.
00:09:23And then I thought to myself, you know,
00:09:25your people get killed every day,
00:09:28and nobody gives a shite.
00:09:31So I've decided I'm going to have to hurt you a bit.
00:09:36Actually, I'm going to hurt you an awful lot.
00:09:40Oh, but the good news is that I'm going to do you myself.
00:09:43Oh, yeah, personally.
00:09:45I mean, uh, you don't want people thinking that, uh,
00:09:48just because I got my name in the papers and all that,
00:09:51that Mark and Cal
00:09:53is too posh to do his own dirty work now, do you, huh?
00:10:05I've been fucked, Jacob.
00:10:08Let the guy get out of his mouth.

00:10:55Kids.
00:10:57♪♪
00:11:07Come on.
00:11:08How are you?
00:11:09You've never been doing that to shoes?
00:11:10No.
00:11:11Hiya, I must be.
00:11:14Hi.
00:11:15How you doing?
00:11:16Hiya, Jimmy.
00:11:17Off to a big news story, are we?
00:11:20Come on, Ronnie, give us the scoop.
00:11:23Who's the scumbag of the week?
00:11:25Ah, go and buy the paper, little brother.
00:11:27You ready for me?
00:11:29Now look at me, she's your sister.
00:11:41You warm enough?
00:11:42Yeah.
00:11:43Okay.
00:11:44Good night, darling.
00:11:46I'm in the other room if you need me.
00:11:48Okay.
00:11:49Good night.
00:11:54He won't have any trouble sleeping tonight.
00:11:56That's because you wore him out on the football pitch.
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:03What's up?
00:12:04Nothing.
00:12:07Nothing?
00:12:08Or something?
00:12:09Ah, it's bollocks.
00:12:11But I'm writing.
00:12:12Why don't you give yourself a bit of credit for a change?
00:12:14Whatever, it's half decent bollocks.
00:12:16It's life, you know, it's human interests.
00:12:19It's bollocks.
00:12:22But in the estate, you know, on the street,
00:12:24there were needles everywhere.
00:12:26You know, right where the kids were crying.
00:12:28Jesus.
00:12:29You should have seen these wankers
00:12:31standing there with their new Mercedes.
00:12:34I mean, how many five-pound hits of dope do you need to shift
00:12:36in order to buy a new Mercedes?
00:12:38Dumas.
00:12:40How many kids is that?
00:12:43Nobody's writing about it.
00:12:46Nobody cares.
00:12:47Isn't that...
00:12:49Somebody has to get after these bastards.
00:12:52They're making megabucks.
00:12:55That's what I should be writing about.
00:13:00You know, that wouldn't be bollocks.
00:13:06The pushers are using the underage kids to do their business.
00:13:09The other guys won't touch the kids.
00:13:11Everyone knows what goes on here.
00:13:13Eight kids from this block alone died from drugs last year.
00:13:16Eight.
00:13:17All of them under 15.
00:13:18Four of them are my sister Iris' kids.
00:13:20Oh, Jesus, I'm sorry.
00:13:22TDs, guards, closed their eyes, called it a family problem.
00:13:25But to some families, these kids are dead already.
00:13:28So we formed Concerned Parents Against Drugs,
00:13:30made it our problem.
00:13:32I'd really appreciate it if you could write something about us.
00:13:34How often do you march?
00:13:36Once a week.
00:13:37It's quite a commitment.
00:13:38It's quite a problem.
00:13:41Do you remember me?
00:13:46Were those Cahill's lads in the van?
00:13:48What van?
00:13:51She can help, Timmy.
00:13:54You know, Martin Cahill, the general.
00:13:57You know him?
00:14:00What's your cut?
00:14:05I'd better go.
00:14:07I can't be staying with you.
00:14:08I can always help you, Timmy.
00:14:10I can find you a good place to stay tonight.
00:14:12Tomorrow I'm up.
00:14:14Not a year's worth of sex on me.
00:14:17I'm not expensive.
00:14:26Mail, please.
00:14:27You need your wallet.
00:14:30What do we want?
00:14:31Justice!
00:14:32When do we want it?
00:14:33Now!
00:14:34What do we want?
00:14:35Justice!
00:14:36When do we want it?
00:14:37Are these marches always this small?
00:14:39Well, hopefully with your help, the word will get out to more people.
00:14:42Yeah, hopefully.
00:14:44When do we want it?
00:14:45I'll make sure it does.
00:14:46When do we want it?
00:14:48Now!
00:14:49What do we want?
00:14:50Justice!
00:14:51Get it, Mullan!
00:14:53You bastard, Tommy Mullan!
00:14:55You're a twat!
00:14:57You're a twat!
00:14:58You're a twat!
00:14:59You're a twat!
00:15:00You're a twat!
00:15:01You're a twat!
00:15:02You're a twat!
00:15:03You're a twat!
00:15:04You're a twat!
00:15:05Brushes out!
00:15:06When do we want it?
00:15:07Now!
00:15:08Push up, push up, push up!
00:15:09Out, out, out!
00:15:24Look who's got himself a new girlfriend, boy.
00:15:30We'll see you there then, John.
00:15:32Yeah, go on ahead.
00:15:35What the hell do you want?
00:15:37Is that any way to talk to a lady?
00:15:40Ladies don't go cold on gentlemen unannounced.
00:15:43Oh, so we're gentlemen now, are we?
00:15:45And where's your manner?
00:15:46You didn't introduce me to your friends.
00:15:48If that's what you're after.
00:15:50You closing up early?
00:15:52One of the benefits of being self-employed.
00:15:54You're amazing, John.
00:15:56No, really, you're a model of profitability.
00:16:00How to succeed in business without any customers.
00:16:04You do well enough.
00:16:05Yeah, well, I mean,
00:16:06there must be a few bobbing those brothels there in Rathgar Road.
00:16:10But they're worth it, aren't they, John?
00:16:12You're a dangerous little bitch, aren't you?
00:16:14Ah, well, I'll do my best.
00:16:15Can I have a drink?
00:16:17That's the benefit of being self-employed, John.
00:16:20You are your own boss, aren't you?
00:16:23You're way off the mark, Frannig.
00:16:25A Martin Cahill isn't into the drugs.
00:16:27Neither am I.
00:16:28You sure?
00:16:30They're just ordinary, decent criminals.
00:16:34But you're not going to take my word for it when you ask Martin yourself.
00:16:37He's very fond of the ladies.
00:16:39Yeah, exactly.
00:16:40So set it up for me.
00:16:44What are you chasing the drugs for, anyway?
00:16:45You should be after the pubs and the breweries.
00:16:47They do more damage than the drugs ever have.
00:16:49Yeah, right.
00:16:50Yeah.
00:16:55I'll call you back.
00:16:56John.
00:16:58Do you know how many guys you were working for stories at once?
00:17:02This generous person might say that you were ungrateful for what I gave you already.
00:17:07Stealing old papers.
00:17:08Kidnapping bankers' families.
00:17:09You're above that now, yeah?
00:17:12I got you famous with those stories.
00:17:15You're feeding me stupid crap.
00:17:18I make you look good.
00:17:20Great picture.
00:17:22Come on, I need your help to get the call.
00:17:25Write me a reference.
00:17:27I need for an appointment.
00:17:30Word of advice.
00:17:32Stay away from Martin Cahill.
00:17:43Sorry to disturb you.
00:17:45Are you Mrs. Cahill?
00:17:48Francis Cahill?
00:17:58Are you Francis Cahill?
00:18:01I am.
00:18:02I am Veronica.
00:18:03And I'm a friend of John Traynor's.
00:18:06I know who you are.
00:18:07Because your husband's home, I just wanted to ask him a favour.
00:18:11Martin Cahill doesn't do favours for journalists.
00:18:15I'm sorry.
00:18:17I'm sorry.
00:18:19I'm sorry.
00:18:21I'm sorry.
00:18:23I'm sorry.
00:18:25I'm sorry.
00:18:28So piss off.
00:18:30Look, there's a rumour going about he's putting drugs on the street.
00:18:32You got any comment on that?
00:18:34I know he nailed a towel to the floor of a flat in Ballymorton the other day.
00:18:36Was it drug related?
00:18:38Look, I just want a brief comment.
00:18:40Off the record.
00:18:42I'll be out of your...
00:18:44Mr. Cahill, you couldn't do me a favour, could you?
00:18:47I need the names of those kids who are selling drugs for you.
00:18:51And I'll do you a favour.
00:18:52I won't...
00:18:54I won't write what people are saying about you.
00:18:55You know that you're having kids with your wife's sisters.
00:18:59There's my number.
00:19:00Give me a call.
00:19:03Cheers.
00:19:14So, what can I do for you, Veronica?
00:19:16How could you lose a body?
00:19:19I mean, that's just downright careless.
00:19:22Find some, you lose some.
00:19:23It'll turn out those bodies always do.
00:19:25So, you're going to join the chorus of those crying,
00:19:27Fowlmore, Garda, Incompetence?
00:19:29Is this why we pay our taxes?
00:19:31Oh, some might say it's incompetence,
00:19:33but I mean, you could say it's you're understaffed.
00:19:36I mean, your hands are tied.
00:19:38You couldn't maintain 24-hour surveillance
00:19:40on that murder site without 24 staff.
00:19:42People should know that.
00:19:44I mean, I think someone should write that.
00:19:47And if someone did write that,
00:19:49what would that someone want in return?
00:19:51I talked to the couple Hugh detained
00:19:53after the weekend in Amsterdam.
00:19:55Held for 48 hours
00:19:57because they bought nothing there but a box of condoms.
00:20:00How does it feel to wait around
00:20:02for a mule to shite out a condom full of drugs?
00:20:06I mean, Hugh and I both know
00:20:08that the queers are the lowest man in the organization,
00:20:11and somewhere or some Mr. Big,
00:20:13he's sitting there, he's laughing at you
00:20:15in your stool sample.
00:20:17No, you can't touch him.
00:20:18No, I want...
00:20:20We both want to get Mr. Untouchable.
00:20:22Yeah? And what are you going to do with him when you get him?
00:20:24Your paper's so scary
00:20:26that some big criminal is going to sue them.
00:20:28If you use his real name,
00:20:30they employ more lawyers than journalists, for Christ's sake.
00:20:32Well, I mean, there's more than 300,000 people.
00:20:34I don't want to blow my trumpet,
00:20:36but they know that Martin Cahill is the general
00:20:38because, you know,
00:20:40what I write in The Sunday Independent,
00:20:42at least they know what he's up to.
00:20:44Great, for your readers.
00:20:46But does it help me put him behind bars?
00:20:48We're on the same side, Chris.
00:20:51Now, I trained as an accountant, right?
00:20:54If I could have a look at these files,
00:20:56then I could go after those other bankers.
00:20:59Put some pressure on them.
00:21:01Come on.
00:21:05Go on.
00:21:11Look, I've got some more packing to do.
00:21:14I'll be back in an hour or so.
00:21:15Looking forward to reading
00:21:17someone's column on Sunday.
00:21:28For the coach, every day is a lot older.
00:21:33What others might earn in a decade,
00:21:35he can conjure up in an afternoon.
00:21:38His Swiss scam was such a stroke,
00:21:40a child of his remarkable ingenuity.
00:21:42The fruits of a complex fraud.
00:21:44Coach, boss.
00:21:45What?
00:21:49I never knew you were such a horse lover, John.
00:21:57What took you so long?
00:21:59Traffic.
00:22:01Nothing to do with that woman
00:22:03who writes for The Sunday Inde.
00:22:05What, the boy say something?
00:22:07That's not the question, Johnny.
00:22:09The question is, what did you say to that woman?
00:22:10Nothing important.
00:22:14She fancies me, so I humour her.
00:22:16You know why I'm successful, Johnny?
00:22:19I lead a quiet life.
00:22:21Nobody knows what I'm doing,
00:22:23and that's very good for business.
00:22:25When you talk to that bitch
00:22:27and what she writes about you,
00:22:29you feel like a movie star.
00:22:31I don't think she doesn't know
00:22:33how to use that, because she does.
00:22:36You're not as smart as you think you are.
00:22:37That makes you a liability.
00:22:40Remember this.
00:22:42If that bitch ever mentions my name,
00:22:45you pay.
00:22:49Damn!
00:22:53You like playing the gangster, do you?
00:22:55Do you?
00:22:57It makes me feel like a big man, does it?
00:22:59Does it make you feel like a big man, does it?
00:23:01John, please.
00:23:02How does it feel now?
00:23:04John!
00:23:05You heap of shite!
00:23:07You heap of shite!
00:23:09John, please.
00:23:11You bunch of idiots!
00:23:13Who's the fucking genius
00:23:15messing with a gun around my horses?
00:23:17You don't insult me boys, Jerry.
00:23:19You leave that to me.
00:23:21Unless you want someone to save yourself.
00:23:29Word of advice.
00:23:31Keep your fucking mouth shut.
00:23:35I called you here because we've got a debt to settle.
00:23:37What debt?
00:23:39Your man Martin Cahill thinks
00:23:41over half a million quid is owed him.
00:23:43I got him to loan us that money
00:23:45to start up the operation.
00:23:47If he wants it back.
00:23:49As far as I'm concerned, there's no back.
00:23:51That money keeps moving forward.
00:23:53He lent you the money when you were just out of prison.
00:23:55You didn't have a pot to piss in.
00:23:57Now he's down on his luck.
00:23:59You can't shift the paintings from the last job.
00:24:01They're too hot.
00:24:03Why don't you just pay him?
00:24:05That's when you kick him in the bollocks.
00:24:07I wouldn't try that on Martin Cahill.
00:24:10Whose side are you on, Coach?
00:24:14I just think we should make payment.
00:24:17Don't you worry about it.
00:24:19We're gonna make payment.
00:24:35Hey, what's up?
00:25:05Come on!
00:25:13Jesus!
00:25:36Come on!
00:25:41Are you people fucking insane?
00:25:45For a few hundred grand, you murdered all of us.
00:25:48I don't like your tone, Coach.
00:25:50Maybe the guards don't know what you did,
00:25:52but if the rest of the Cahill mob find out,
00:25:54they'll kill you and everyone you did business with.
00:25:59The IRA has claimed responsibility
00:26:02for the murder of Martin Cahill.
00:26:03And we are now doing everything in our power
00:26:05to apprehend and identify the gunman involved.
00:26:08At the moment, no progress has been made.
00:26:10This isn't the first execution by the IRA we've seen all year.
00:26:13I mean, what progress has been made
00:26:15in the Dowd and the Gormley cases?
00:26:17I cannot comment on any other investigation at this time.
00:26:19Why is progress never made on any cases involving the IRA?
00:26:22Cahill's family has stated that the general, and I quote,
00:26:26was not killed by the IRA.
00:26:28He was killed because someone saw
00:26:30how much money he was making and wanted to take over.
00:26:31Now, in your opinion, could the murder be drug-related?
00:26:34You can't believe everything you hear, Miss Kieran.
00:26:36Well, neither can you, Des.
00:26:48Look, Veronica, every journalist
00:26:50sees a vast conspiracy in everything.
00:26:52Oh, get off me.
00:26:54It's our burden to know
00:26:56that we haven't a fucking clue about anything.
00:26:58We just don't know who killed Cahill, OK?
00:26:59Yeah, and you don't care, right?
00:27:01I mean, as long as they kill each other,
00:27:03it's easier for all of you, I guess.
00:27:06Here, let's sort out the petty criminals first.
00:27:11Those who loved Martin Call
00:27:13feel a deep sense of loss and pain.
00:27:19And violence can only lead to death
00:27:23because it's the way of hatred, fear and revenge.
00:27:29Our Father who art in heaven,
00:27:31hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come...
00:27:33Nothing like a funeral
00:27:35to bring out the competition, is there?
00:27:37Yeah.
00:27:39Look at Jerry Hutch there, all tearful.
00:27:41Or should I say the monk?
00:27:43He doesn't sound bad. Looking for a monk?
00:27:45The thing about monks, though, is they're celibate.
00:27:48Supposedly.
00:27:52See those two there?
00:27:54They're dealers, right?
00:27:56Oh, yeah.
00:27:57Call me Mother.
00:28:02Cahill wasn't wearing drugs.
00:28:04No?
00:28:06I followed the money, and it turns out
00:28:09your man was absolutely broke.
00:28:11My family had to borrow 10,000 for this.
00:28:13Really?
00:28:15Didn't have the cash to run drugs.
00:28:17Oh, will you look?
00:28:19The Northside rivals to pay their respects.
00:28:22That's Brian Meehan there.
00:28:25The blonde one?
00:28:27Nasty little fucker.
00:28:52Yeah?
00:28:54The IRA didn't act alone.
00:28:55Tell me something I don't know.
00:28:57Where are you?
00:28:59Jerry Hutch ordered the hit on Cahill.
00:29:03Hutch?
00:29:05Jesus, are you sure now?
00:29:07I was there.
00:29:21She bought it.
00:29:23She bought it.
00:29:40Okay.
00:29:42Bring them in. Bring them in.
00:29:52Right. Spill them in, Sergeant.
00:29:55I get you, your wife, your kids.
00:29:59You think you're the big fella now?
00:30:01You'll not be so big the next time
00:30:03you meet me with a value.
00:30:05Yeah, I'm trembling.
00:30:07We can do this the hard way or the easy way, Brian.
00:30:09Your choice, mate.
00:30:11Oh, please. Let's do it the hard way.
00:30:13Do you like a man with big cocks, do you?
00:30:15I want that, do you?
00:30:17Is she a lesbian, is she?
00:30:19You fancy me, Irish, do you?
00:30:20No, we're good.
00:30:22All right, get your designer gear back on
00:30:24and get the fuck out of my sight, you prick.
00:30:26There's over 600 pounds there.
00:30:28You can keep that.
00:30:30Usefuckers need it more than I do.
00:30:33Bunch of fucking agents,
00:30:35working and paying taxes.
00:30:37Do you know what?
00:30:39I make more in a week than usefuckers earn in a month.
00:30:41Here.
00:30:43That's more than you earn in a year.
00:30:45Thanks. See you, guys.
00:30:47All the best.
00:30:49See you soon, Brian.
00:30:58I always like to go shopping after a funeral.
00:31:05What are you doing here?
00:31:07It's looking bad for you.
00:31:09People say you ordered a hit in Cathal.
00:31:11People can say what they like.
00:31:13I was out of the country at the time.
00:31:15Is that your response, Mr. Hutch?
00:31:16Or should I call you the monk?
00:31:19You're invading my privacy
00:31:21and the privacy of my family.
00:31:23So if you don't get the fuck off my property,
00:31:25I'm gonna sue you and your fucking paper.
00:31:27Now, fuck off!
00:31:32Can I quote you on that?
00:31:41I can't talk to anyone right now!
00:31:43It's Tony Gregory.
00:31:44He's the member of parliament for Dublin City.
00:31:46I know who he is.
00:31:48I still can't talk to him.
00:31:50Tell him to call back later.
00:31:52You can tell him yourself.
00:31:54Hiya, Tony.
00:31:56What is this shite?
00:31:58It's Ireland's finest newspaper, Tony.
00:32:00Dublin City is currently like a tinderbox
00:32:02just waiting to explode?
00:32:04This sounds like self-fulfilling prophecy.
00:32:06It's a quote.
00:32:08It's a source quote.
00:32:10It's not me editorializing. Do you understand?
00:32:12No North Inner City gang was involved in Cathal's murder.
00:32:14I've filed photographs of these gangs
00:32:16and no witness has identified them.
00:32:18The only reason there isn't a bloodbath
00:32:20on the streets right now
00:32:22is because the Cathals weren't stupid enough
00:32:24to buy your story.
00:32:26Now, as far as I am concerned,
00:32:28this woman is reckless and inflammatory.
00:32:30She treats rumor as fact.
00:32:32And you and your newspaper
00:32:34are irresponsible for publishing it.
00:32:36Now, I expect to read my response
00:32:38over my breakfast next Sunday.
00:32:40I did nothing wrong.
00:32:42I know that.
00:32:44Look, I didn't name Hutch.
00:32:46I didn't even call him the monk.
00:32:48I put it to him.
00:32:50He said he was out of the country.
00:32:52He said he would sue us,
00:32:54but he didn't deny it.
00:32:56Well, we know that.
00:32:58And the lawyers approved it.
00:33:00Oh, we don't doubt you, Veronica.
00:33:02It's Gregory that doubts you.
00:33:04He's a member of Parliament for the Year
00:33:06and he wants to have his say.
00:33:08Yeah, I was shite about that.
00:33:10Well, what about the source?
00:33:12I suppose he won't go on record.
00:33:14It's a search warrant or a warrant,
00:33:16but you still have to prove everything.
00:33:18Yes, and you'll want to check
00:33:20how reliable that source of yours is.
00:33:29Jesus!
00:33:31Oh, sorry, John.
00:33:33Just a quick question for you.
00:33:35You're not, uh, you're not aiming
00:33:37to start a gang war, are you,
00:33:39between the Carters and Hutch?
00:33:41Jesus, she's famous.
00:33:42You're giving me a line of shite
00:33:44about the monk.
00:33:46What are you talking about?
00:33:48You know, get the south side
00:33:50and the north side gangs to kill each other off
00:33:52so someone else can take over.
00:33:54You're talking out of your arse, Veronica.
00:33:56Get out of here, unless you want to join in.
00:33:58You told me you were there, John.
00:34:00I've done you a lot of favours.
00:34:02Look, I'm the one doing the favours here.
00:34:04No, no, no, I've done you the favours.
00:34:06Don't forget that.
00:34:08And I tell you what I know.
00:34:10I don't tell you what to do with it.
00:34:12Fucking liar!
00:34:14There's a bit of an overreaction there, John.
00:34:25Yeah, why don't you come in and have a pint?
00:34:27Ah, too many journalists for me.
00:34:30You can't join a club
00:34:32if you ignore the members, Veronica.
00:34:34I know what they say about me.
00:34:36No journalistic experience.
00:34:38I'm exaggerating the drug problem.
00:34:40My sources are unreliable.
00:34:42You're pretty accurate.
00:34:44Go away, John, I know I'm no great writer.
00:34:46Well, I think you're a poet, Veronica.
00:34:53Go on, go on, Cantona.
00:34:56That's poetry.
00:34:59What's the score?
00:35:01Nothing, nothing.
00:35:03Cantona's a fucking vacuum cleaner today, man.
00:35:05It's unreal.
00:35:09He's what you call a striker.
00:35:10Number seven, watch him.
00:35:12A striker?
00:35:14What do you say his name was?
00:35:16Eric Cantona.
00:35:18Born 26 May 1966,
00:35:20led Man United to six cups,
00:35:22winning Premier League football of the year in 89.
00:35:24Is that him?
00:35:26Well, fuck me, Pink, I think it is, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:35:28Fair play to you.
00:35:30I met him, you know.
00:35:32You met Eric Cantona?
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35What did he say to you?
00:35:37No, it doesn't matter, does it?
00:35:38Look at that.
00:35:40I bet you any money the monk done that.
00:35:44Do you fancy going for a pint?
00:35:46There's a great little pub down the road, very quiet.
00:35:49That's almost three million quid.
00:35:52Where would you hide three million quid?
00:35:56How could you find any fun in hiding three million quid, man?
00:35:58Wouldn't you be out in the town spending it like a mad thing,
00:36:00wouldn't you?
00:36:02Yeah, exactly right.
00:36:05Good night, thanks.
00:36:06So no pint now?
00:36:09Not a chance.
00:36:19Well done, a brakes job, Gerry.
00:36:21What the fuck are you doing following me?
00:36:23Look, I'm going to write about it,
00:36:25say goodnight and I'll talk to you.
00:36:27I don't give a bollocks what you write about.
00:36:29I want to know what you're doing with the money.
00:36:31It's none of your fucking business what I do.
00:36:33There you go.
00:36:34It's none of my manners.
00:36:36You've been to my home.
00:36:38Maybe it's about fucking time I visit yours.
00:36:40Right ahead, sir.
00:36:42Thank you.
00:36:44I'll see you again.
00:36:47Night, Ma.
00:36:49Night, Co.
00:36:51What are we reading, Ma?
00:36:53Just some of my notes.
00:36:55On the bad guys?
00:36:57No, there's just one bad guy I'm after.
00:36:59It's the one who's up way past his bedside.
00:37:01Now let's go.
00:37:02I love you, baby robot.
00:37:04I love to read your stories.
00:37:12Stay there.
00:37:14All right.
00:37:33We're going to get someone else to go.
00:37:35Me, me, me, me, me.
00:37:39Oh, that's great.
00:37:50Ronnie?
00:37:52We're all nervous.
00:37:54Ma's nervous.
00:37:56I'm nervous.
00:37:58Even Graeme, he just won't say anything about it.
00:38:00Everyone knows there's no use talking about it.
00:38:02There's no use ever talking to you.
00:38:04Jimmy, those people issued death threats
00:38:06so their laundry's folded wrong.
00:38:08Ma?
00:38:10Ma, where'd you put the kernels?
00:38:12It's out there on top of the bread box.
00:38:14Ah, right.
00:38:16Besides, it's not the first.
00:38:18Do you remember those religious fanatics
00:38:20after the Bishop Casey story?
00:38:22There's always someone.
00:38:24You get used to them.
00:38:26No, Ronnie, you get used to cold water, not bullets.
00:38:28This is madness.
00:38:30You do the same.
00:38:32If I'd seen those people shooting at me, I wouldn't.
00:38:34Ma, look.
00:38:36Carl, that's great.
00:38:38Who gave you that?
00:38:40You and Dad.
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:45Look, I'm listening, actually.
00:38:47Now, whoever did it to me, sure,
00:38:49was not in the room.
00:38:51Can you do this?
00:38:53You're better at it.
00:38:55There's nothing to worry about.
00:38:57Nothing to worry about?
00:38:59I'm the only Geron in the phone book.
00:39:01Don't flatter yourself, little brother.
00:39:04Are you going to dance on this
00:39:06or are you going to go faster or what?
00:39:08Here, give someone else a go.
00:39:10Give me a tug.
00:39:12Thank you.
00:39:14Yeah, come on.
00:39:31What can I say?
00:39:33I don't think Jerry Hutch is into drugs.
00:39:37The Brinks heist, yeah, probably,
00:39:39but drugs is just not his thing, Veronica.
00:39:41Yeah, I understand what you're saying,
00:39:43but I've been tracking his movements.
00:39:45Right.
00:39:47I just need to source the drugs.
00:39:49The connection's easy.
00:39:51I need your help, Chris.
00:39:53And I need you to stop coming to my office.
00:39:55He's got them.
00:39:57He's got them.
00:39:58I need you to stop coming to my office.
00:40:00He's got the money.
00:40:02Look, we're talking about a fellow, right,
00:40:04with no visible source of income
00:40:06who paid tax on two million pounds last year.
00:40:08I just loaned him to the government's tax amnesty.
00:40:11He's got too much money not to be into it.
00:40:13In your esteemed journalistic opinion.
00:40:15I know you see shipments for Oliver and Cork.
00:40:18It was coming from somewhere.
00:40:20Where?
00:40:22Look, we've impounded drugs from all over.
00:40:24Liverpool, Scotland, Amsterdam, Pakistan.
00:40:26You're not the only one trying here, Veronica.
00:40:28He's got the money.
00:40:30Right, well, who else you got?
00:40:32Oh, I could name you a dozen.
00:40:34Here's the latest candidate.
00:40:36Just in from Interpol.
00:40:38John Gilligan, one year out of Portlaoise Prison.
00:40:40Can you tell me how this ballet firm at low life
00:40:42has 300,000 pounds to launder in an Amsterdam casino?
00:40:44You're the star journalist.
00:40:46Can you explain that?
00:40:48John Gilligan.
00:40:50Certainly keeps a low profile.
00:40:52Yeah?
00:40:54Hi, Angus.
00:40:56Yeah, can you hold...
00:40:58No, no, no.
00:41:00Run the brink story.
00:41:02Just hold off on the drugs claim.
00:41:04What for?
00:41:06This stuff you sent is great.
00:41:08No, just give me 24 hours.
00:41:10I got a tip.
00:41:12This could be big.
00:41:14I'm trusting you on this one, Veronica.
00:41:16Oh, it's great.
00:41:18Nice tan there, John.
00:41:21Hope there's no hard feelings between us.
00:41:23I'm not one to take a bullet
00:41:25through my window, personally.
00:41:28Get lost.
00:41:31I told you, you want to be careful
00:41:33when you're dealing with the likes of Gerry Hutch.
00:41:35But you didn't tell me about a fella named Gilligan.
00:41:37Oh, I'm sorry.
00:41:39I'm sorry.
00:41:41I'm sorry.
00:41:43I'm sorry.
00:41:45I'm sorry.
00:41:47Who?
00:41:49You provided him with a car
00:41:51when he got out of prison last year.
00:41:53John Gilligan, do you want me to spell it?
00:41:55I don't want to blame Gerry's, Veronica.
00:41:57I've provided loads of cars to people.
00:41:59Hardly going to remember every one of them now, am I?
00:42:01Is, uh...
00:42:03Is that him there?
00:42:05Why should I give a shit?
00:42:07No reason, really.
00:42:09Just the fella behind the security guard
00:42:11looks a lot like you.
00:42:13Well, there's a coincidence.
00:42:15Oh, come on.
00:42:17I don't want to be a Russian heroine to Mitchell.
00:42:19I can't help you, Veronica.
00:42:21Don't know nothing about him.
00:42:23If I hear about him, I'll let you know, OK?
00:42:25Molly!
00:42:27You can keep the photo if you like.
00:42:29It's a nice one of you.
00:42:31You got plenty.
00:42:35You sell horses yourself, don't you, Mr. Chopper?
00:42:37I do.
00:42:39You have a number, haven't you?
00:42:41Well, I sell them all to Germany.
00:42:43What? Germany?
00:42:45No, myself and Geraldine are planning to make this
00:42:47in all of Ireland.
00:42:49Well, I must say,
00:42:51the size is impressive.
00:42:53Said the nun to the sailor.
00:42:56Hey, how about an aperitif?
00:42:58Some champers?
00:43:00Caviar? It's all imported.
00:43:02John and I have great plans for this place.
00:43:05Oh, hang on.
00:43:08Hello?
00:43:10Hello?
00:43:12You're breaking up there.
00:43:14Hello?
00:43:16It's Traynor.
00:43:18Johnny.
00:43:20Listen, Veronica Gerrans got hold of a photo of us in Amsterdam.
00:43:23But, John, I swear,
00:43:25I had nothing to do with it.
00:43:27I never mentioned your name.
00:43:29But she was asking about you.
00:43:32Johnny, look, I told you before.
00:43:34If she so much as mentions my fucking name,
00:43:36you pay.
00:43:41Fucking idiot!
00:43:43Fuck!
00:43:45Fuck!
00:43:51Happy Christmas!
00:43:53How you doing?
00:43:55Happy Christmas.
00:43:57Now, isn't this great?
00:43:59When's Mum coming here?
00:44:01She'll be here soon.
00:44:03I hear we want something stronger than that.
00:44:08Yeah?
00:44:10Ma, how are you?
00:44:12Happy Christmas, Anne.
00:44:13Where's your mum?
00:44:15You know Veronica.
00:44:17She's always going for the gold.
00:44:19All right.
00:44:21What?
00:44:23Look, there's someone at the door, Ma.
00:44:25No, my phone will be on all night.
00:44:27You can call me whenever you want.
00:44:29Yeah, I love you too.
00:44:31OK, bye.
00:44:32Bye.
00:44:38Yeah, all right.
00:44:40All right.
00:44:43Ah!
00:44:45Ah!
00:44:47Ah!
00:44:55Ah!
00:44:56Ah!
00:44:58Ah!
00:45:10Ah!
00:45:12Ah!
00:45:14Ah!
00:45:16Oh, Jesus!
00:45:40Oh, God, no!
00:45:41Oh, God, no!
00:45:43Ah!
00:45:56How are you?
00:45:58Oh, you're made of gorgeous.
00:46:00Look at you, for God's sake.
00:46:02Hey, really.
00:46:03Hey, Veronica.
00:46:05Can't find me sport, Anne.
00:46:07Can you believe it?
00:46:08...extensive investigations into organized crime in Dublin...
00:46:12Why do they always use that brutal picture?
00:46:16...a very serious incident.
00:46:18Veronica Geeran is a very talented journalist.
00:46:21An attack like this could be seen as an attempt
00:46:24to muzzle her because of certain publications
00:46:29or articles she wrote.
00:46:31This would be presumably connected with last month's three million pound robbery.
00:46:34Yeah, we all know who pulled that one.
00:46:36Don't be hot.
00:46:37He threatened me, you know.
00:46:39Veronica, please, stop this.
00:46:41Write about fashion, write about football,
00:46:43write about anything you like, but stop this.
00:46:45You don't have to do it anymore.
00:46:47I don't see myself covering the catwalks
00:46:49or, you know, doing a gardening column, Angus.
00:46:51You've always wanted to write about politics, Veronica.
00:46:54Oh, come off it, really.
00:46:56I am writing about politics. Drugs are political.
00:46:58What if I told you I wouldn't publish your stuff anymore, hmm?
00:47:00Ah, but you never would tell me that, would you, Angus?
00:47:02Oh, for Christ's sake.
00:47:04There's no sport channel.
00:47:05I have to go.
00:47:07What kind of hospital is this?
00:47:09I mean, is this what we pay health insurance for?
00:47:11Where's Kyle?
00:47:13He's fine.
00:47:15That's your sister's with your mum, don't worry.
00:47:17Oh, I'm not worried.
00:47:19Thanks.
00:47:21Right, we've just got you 24-hour police protection.
00:47:23You OK?
00:47:25Yeah.
00:47:27What a waste of a Christmas Eve.
00:47:29Look at an epoxy box.
00:47:31Mary Poppins.
00:47:33Gone with the wind.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:37Point-blank range of 45.
00:47:39This is all they could do.
00:47:41Where's Kyle? How is he?
00:47:43He's fine.
00:47:45Where is he?
00:47:47Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right, he's with his mum.
00:47:49Yeah, he keeps asking for you.
00:47:51Yeah.
00:48:01You going to stop this now?
00:48:06Yeah.
00:48:18Dad, look!
00:48:20Look!
00:48:36Give me the keys.
00:48:38I know what I'm doing, Graham.
00:48:40Why do you think they shot me?
00:48:42I'm on the right track.
00:48:44Give me the keys, please.
00:48:46Thank you.
00:48:48Would you give me the keys?
00:48:50No.
00:48:52Look at the state of you.
00:48:54Do you think I want to do this, do you?
00:48:56I don't want to do it.
00:48:58I have to do it.
00:49:00Veronica, you're a journalist.
00:49:02You write.
00:49:03The guards look after this.
00:49:05Oh, Graham, come off it.
00:49:07The guards can't do anything about it.
00:49:09They get away with it, they always do.
00:49:11Yeah, yeah.
00:49:13They did 14 shootings in 14 months.
00:49:15I know, you're one of them.
00:49:17I know who the guys are.
00:49:19Would you just give me the keys?
00:49:21No.
00:49:23Tough shit.
00:49:25Come on inside, please.
00:49:27They're not getting away with it.
00:49:29I'll catch a cab then.
00:49:31Oh, for God's sake.
00:49:33Fuck you.
00:49:35Come on, get in.
00:49:37Who's driving then?
00:49:39You can't drive with two good legs.
00:49:41I hardly think they're going to let you drive with one.
00:49:43Oh, that's low, Dante.
00:49:45You drive like an old granny.
00:49:47Come on, hop along, get in.
00:49:49Where the hell is she going?
00:49:51She only got out of the hospital a couple of days ago.
00:49:53Yeah, I know.
00:50:04You let me do it.
00:50:18Tommy Mullen.
00:50:34That so, Mitchell?
00:50:37Yeah.
00:50:39It's for you.
00:50:45Get the fuck out of here.
00:50:47Here!
00:50:50Your column's upsetting me, mother.
00:50:52Ah, you poor fella.
00:50:55You think I'm a drug dealer, don't you?
00:50:58Well, I'm no drug dealer.
00:50:59I've seen family and friends dying week in, week out because of them.
00:51:03All right.
00:51:05But did you shoot me?
00:51:09No, I had nothing to do with shooting you.
00:51:12I wouldn't have missed.
00:51:22I'm telling you, he isn't here.
00:51:24And I have to go.
00:51:26I'm busy.
00:51:27Oh, what are you?
00:51:29None of your business.
00:51:31Look, please, just give this to Traynor.
00:51:35Are you going to be okay?
00:51:37I mean, you're leg and all.
00:51:39Yeah, I'm grand.
00:51:42Are you going to be all right?
00:51:49I mean, I thought, I mean, I've always believed that I'm a journalist.
00:51:54Nobody should be a journalist.
00:51:55I'm a journalist.
00:51:57Nobody shoots a messenger.
00:51:59A journalist doesn't get shot.
00:52:02If the bullet had hit an artery, you could have died.
00:52:06So why do you do it?
00:52:08Why do you take the risks?
00:52:10Well, I'll give her this.
00:52:12Take some balls to shoot yourself in the leg for publicity.
00:52:15Yeah, she should have shot herself in the balls.
00:52:18Bigger target.
00:52:20Shall we?
00:52:22I never liked this place anyway.
00:52:24She can always use the insurance money for her course in journalism.
00:52:45Here, go and check this out.
00:52:46We'll bring you to the attention of the public generally.
00:52:50A culture that exists in our society, right?
00:52:54That nobody knows anything about.
00:52:56Your girlfriend's looking very fucking healthy, isn't she?
00:52:59Cuba, the moron you hired shot her in the leg.
00:53:01Now the whole country is watching her, thanks to you.
00:53:04Yeah, she's a real martyr, thanks to you, coach.
00:53:08Same to Veronica.
00:53:10The Sunday Independent.
00:53:12Now relax, will you?
00:53:13Just convinced it was Geri Hutch that done it.
00:53:16You better pray she stays that way.
00:53:19Mum.
00:53:21Yeah?
00:53:23Champagne. Now.
00:53:25Now, these letters that you delivered, what did you say in them?
00:53:29There was one simple question on each of the letters.
00:53:32And it was, were you responsible for my attack?
00:53:44Mr. Gregory?
00:53:46What are you doing in here?
00:53:48How did you get past security?
00:53:50You can't just barge in here, you know.
00:53:52I'm sorry, do you mind if I sit down?
00:53:55A young woman wounded on a crutch.
00:53:57You're at a disadvantage. Take a seat.
00:54:00I've come to apologize, if I've got it all wrong.
00:54:04All of you journalists have got it wrong.
00:54:08You call these guys the vipers?
00:54:09The monk? The general? You glorify them.
00:54:11They're not movie stars.
00:54:13Well, with respect, I've no option.
00:54:16I mean, I can't name them.
00:54:18Your libel laws won't let me.
00:54:20You know, journalists going to jail for doing their job.
00:54:23You know, Liz Allen, writes for the Irish Independent.
00:54:25She's facing imprisonment for exposing these murderers.
00:54:27I'm not getting involved in your personal vendettas.
00:54:30I'm not here because I was shot.
00:54:32Oh, now we know what you're not here for.
00:54:34Look, I've been writing quite extensively on this.
00:54:36In a balanced way, for the past 18 months.
00:54:39You must have missed some of my articles.
00:54:41Now, on June the 11th...
00:54:43Now, I just want to clarify this.
00:54:45I suggested extending detention periods for drug offenders.
00:54:48Then on July 16th, I wrote about the tax officials.
00:54:51I mean, this is ridiculous.
00:54:53Saying that they are paid only to record a declared income.
00:54:56Not to worry about whether it comes from drugs.
00:54:58Then on July 23rd, I wrote about the Gardaí.
00:55:02Saying that they can...
00:55:03Seize drug proceeds, but they can't hold them.
00:55:05I mean, how frustrating is that?
00:55:07I don't need you to tell me
00:55:09that the fight against drugs has been hampered.
00:55:11It's been crippled by the laws that we have at the moment.
00:55:14Yeah, we're on the same side, Mr. Gregory.
00:55:18We're on the same side.
00:55:20I don't like your methods, and I do not like your paper.
00:55:23Yeah.
00:55:25It's a rag.
00:55:27But it's a popular rag.
00:55:29Use it.
00:55:31Get your message out. Use me.
00:55:33I mean, you've got to change these laws
00:55:35that favour the criminals.
00:55:37Okay, so when do we get around to the part
00:55:39where you're going to use me?
00:55:41Or is this just a charity offer?
00:55:43Well, I'm looking into a guy called Gilligan.
00:55:45Just take my phone calls.
00:55:52Gilligan, did you say?
00:55:54A friend of mine said he rents these containers out.
00:55:56He's in about much.
00:55:58Slightly overweight, like.
00:56:00Bald guy.
00:56:01I've never seen him here.
00:56:03Thanks for the smoke.
00:56:05Yeah.
00:56:12Wheelie, do me a favour, will you?
00:56:14Find out how long Tony Gregory will be in his office.
00:56:16Grand, thanks.
00:56:18Hiya. Look, no offence,
00:56:20but these guys are not going to talk to me
00:56:22with the cops hanging about.
00:56:24All right.
00:56:26Thanks. It's not working.
00:56:28Gilligan's listed here as living in a council flat
00:56:31with a man named Joe.
00:56:33That's just a mailing address.
00:56:35Those lads go to meetings
00:56:37with their probation officers
00:56:39in BMWs and Mercedes.
00:56:41Having money isn't a probation violation.
00:56:44It is if the assets are illegal.
00:56:47Now, then I'd like to see
00:56:49a register of ownership
00:56:51for the following properties
00:56:53and this corporation here
00:56:55with a copy of the shareholder support.
00:56:57I appreciate this.
00:56:59And the same for these other companies
00:57:01as well.
00:57:08I told you,
00:57:10this office is closed for lunch.
00:57:12So unless you're on staff
00:57:14or with the government,
00:57:16it's always closed to you.
00:57:18Absolutely not a problem.
00:57:20I've got a friend here who'd like to talk to you.
00:57:22Do you know Tony Gregory?
00:57:32Oh, you're an angel.
00:57:34I'm just finishing up.
00:57:36You're a bad liar.
00:57:38Oh, God, you make the worst cup of coffee.
00:57:41Ouch.
00:57:42Here, I'll help you put Kyle to bed.
00:57:44Hey, he's been asleep for an hour.
00:57:47Of course.
00:57:52I'm sorry.
00:57:54It's all right.
00:57:56It's all right.
00:57:58It's all right.
00:58:00Don't you ever just want to
00:58:02keep him in the house?
00:58:04Not let him out ever?
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:08But mostly I feel that way about you.
00:58:17I've got him, Graham.
00:58:19I've got his name.
00:58:22Now get this Gilligan bastard.
00:58:25I am so close, you know.
00:58:27I'm this close.
00:58:34Trust me.
00:58:36Right?
00:58:38Don't worry.
00:58:41Easy for you to say.
00:58:57I love you.
00:59:28How are you?
00:59:30Do you know where I might find Mr. Gilligan?
00:59:36Sorry, don't know.
00:59:38Right.
00:59:57I love you.
01:00:27I love you.
01:00:53Mr. Gilligan.
01:00:54Mr. Gilligan from Sunday Independent.
01:00:56I've got some questions about your property ownership.
01:00:59Including this
01:01:00lovely equestrian centre you've got here.
01:01:04You start by telling me where you get the money.
01:01:11Cunt.
01:01:13Cunt.
01:01:15Cunt.
01:01:20Cunt.
01:01:22Cunt.
01:01:25Cunt.
01:01:35Are you wearing a wire?
01:01:36No, no.
01:01:37Are you wearing a wire?
01:01:38No, no.
01:01:40Get out of my property, you cunt.
01:01:54Fuck.
01:02:25Jesus.
01:02:27Jesus, what happened to you?
01:02:29What happened to you darling?
01:02:30God.
01:02:32God.
01:02:33What happened to you?
01:02:37Oh my darling.
01:02:38Jesus, what happened to you?
01:02:40What happened to you darling?
01:02:41God.
01:02:43God.
01:02:44What happened to you?
01:02:48Oh my darling.
01:02:57Can you see at all?
01:03:08You ready to go home?
01:03:09Yeah.
01:03:11You want a dry drop of that?
01:03:12Oh, thanks.
01:03:16Look.
01:03:17It's up to you, Ronnie.
01:03:19But if you do press charges,
01:03:20writing the story might prejudice the case.
01:03:23I know you just want to steal it.
01:03:26Of course I do.
01:03:27I'm a reporter.
01:03:30So what's it to be then, Veronica?
01:03:31Do you want the story or do you want to press charges?
01:03:38Fuck.
01:03:59Yeah.
01:04:02This is John Gilligan.
01:04:05If you do one thing on me,
01:04:09if you go to the Gardaí,
01:04:11or write about me,
01:04:14I'm going to kidnap your son
01:04:17and I'm going to write him.
01:04:21I'm going to shoot you.
01:04:25Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
01:04:28I'm going to fucking kidnap your son
01:04:31and I'm going to write him.
01:04:34And then I'm going to shoot you.
01:04:35I'm going to fucking kill you.
01:04:57Veronica.
01:04:58Where's Cal?
01:04:59What's wrong?
01:05:00Where's Cal?
01:05:01He's in the country.
01:05:02He's with your sister, he says.
01:05:04It was him.
01:05:06What?
01:05:07He would never have gone there.
01:05:09No, he didn't.
01:05:11I'm so scared.
01:05:12It's okay, I know.
01:05:13I know.
01:05:14I know.
01:05:16It's going to be all right.
01:05:23You're okay.
01:05:24I want you to promise me something.
01:05:26What?
01:05:28I want you to promise me something.
01:05:30Promise me something.
01:05:32What?
01:05:36Don't tell anyone I was like this.
01:05:38What?
01:05:39All right?
01:05:41I don't want them to have it.
01:05:44All right.
01:05:45That's what they want more than anything.
01:05:46All right.
01:05:47I don't want them to have it.
01:05:48I promise you.
01:05:49All right?
01:05:50You were never afraid.
01:05:51All right.
01:05:53Oh, Jesus.
01:05:54Never afraid.
01:06:01Jesus, Veronica.
01:06:02Look at you.
01:06:04Hi, Liv.
01:06:07How are you, John?
01:06:09It's been a while.
01:06:12I'm glad.
01:06:13Get you a drink?
01:06:14No, thanks.
01:06:15I'm not thirsty.
01:06:17So, what do you want to talk about?
01:06:23I'm going to tell you a story.
01:06:24I'm going to tell you a story.
01:06:25I'm going to tell you a story.
01:06:27I'm going to tell you a story.
01:06:28I'm going to tell you a story.
01:06:30I have a message for you from John Gilligan.
01:06:33The man you don't know.
01:06:37Look, as soon as I heard, I went to see him.
01:06:39I told him, and got it all wrong.
01:06:43He's a small man, but a chip, you know?
01:06:46He's got a temper.
01:06:47He just lost his head.
01:06:49Anyway, he wants you to know that he's sorry for what he done...
01:06:53and for what he said about your kid and the family.
01:06:57and the family, he'd never do those things.
01:07:02He wishes he could take it back.
01:07:05He really couldn't get you to feed me that shite about Hush.
01:07:11Yeah, he murdered Kyle, set back and let the IRA take credit.
01:07:16I don't know what you're talking about.
01:07:18Look, I'm here because he wants this to end before things get any worse.
01:07:23How can it get any worse?
01:07:25Things can always get worse, Veronica.
01:07:32Now, if you don't press charges,
01:07:36you'll be 100,000 pounds richer within an hour.
01:07:41It's not enough. I want 300.
01:07:50I think I could get you that.
01:07:52Thanks.
01:07:54Now, you tell Gilligan that he's not going to be buying me off.
01:07:57Nobody's trying to buy you off.
01:07:59Your man just wants to be fair, that's all.
01:08:02Even if he's convicted, I'll get him six months.
01:08:05Right, well, if he's not worried, why is he prepared to pay so much?
01:08:09You know, why did he bother selling him Messenger?
01:08:14You're not the coach at all, are you, Johnny?
01:08:18You're the ball boy.
01:08:20What are you doing talking to her like this?
01:08:24After what you did?
01:08:25What the fuck are you doing here? Get out of here.
01:08:28He sent that man to shoot you.
01:08:30I know, the bollocks.
01:08:32Don't listen to this junkie slag.
01:08:34It's true. He said the man was supposed to shoot you in the head.
01:08:37He was supposed to kill you, but the gun didn't work.
01:08:39Shut the fuck up!
01:08:40Veronica!
01:08:49Veronica!
01:09:20I've decided to make a formal complaint with the guards
01:09:23against the guy who beat me.
01:09:26I mean, I would...
01:09:30I would lose a lot, right, if I was to give in to these thugs.
01:09:34And I'm not going to be doing that,
01:09:36because it'd be worse for me, and it'd be worse for journalism
01:09:39if I or any journalist was to be intimidated.
01:09:43I mean, that means they've won,
01:09:45and they're not going to get away with it.
01:09:47I mean, that means they've won, and they're not going to win.
01:09:51Yeah, fuck off.
01:09:54The house shuddered and collapsed.
01:09:58And then the little people discovered
01:10:00that they were disappearing into a swirl of leaves.
01:10:11It was fast asleep.
01:10:13Thanks for watching, Emma.
01:10:16I wish the girl were to court.
01:10:18Maybe the Navy.
01:10:21This one's better.
01:10:22Oh, look.
01:10:25Ah, look at that.
01:10:31Gosh, look at you, always trying to be better than the boys.
01:10:36That reminds me, you know, of a day...
01:10:39Oh, God, I don't know how old you were.
01:10:41And you were out in the street playing football,
01:10:43and the ball went over the wall to old man Clancy.
01:10:46Do you remember him?
01:10:47He was a very dangerous man, and very violent.
01:10:50But the boys did nothing, but you, bold as brass.
01:10:53You marched up those steps, and you just knocked on his door.
01:10:58Scared the bejesus out of me.
01:11:00You didn't show it.
01:11:02That's your thing, isn't it? You don't show your fear.
01:11:06You know, Veronica, sometimes it's wiser
01:11:09to let the crazy old man keep the ball.
01:11:12It is, and sometimes it's braver to just walk away.
01:11:18Well, I got the ball back, didn't I?
01:11:25You know exactly what I mean.
01:11:42In response to a motion by the defence,
01:11:45I'm granting an extension until June 30th.
01:11:51This hearing is adjourned.
01:12:01Hey, you haven't seen the last of us, missus.
01:12:11What's up?
01:12:20Cheers.
01:12:21Cheers.
01:12:41You all right?
01:12:43I've got a speeding issue to deal with tomorrow.
01:12:46You're a biggy knife. You haven't brought up any judges, have you?
01:12:49Who is it?
01:12:50Listen, I hope you didn't take what that junkie Slag said seriously the other day.
01:12:54I brain-burned him months ago.
01:12:57And you didn't call me here to talk about a speeding ticket.
01:13:01Changed your mind about Gilligan's offer?
01:13:05Writing a story. Just wanted to clear some things up.
01:13:08You're my man.
01:13:10What do you want to know?
01:13:12How you guys launder all the money you're making from the drug deals.
01:13:16Is it the Amsterdam casinos?
01:13:18Wait. Are you saying I'm a drug dealer?
01:13:20Oh, would you talk straight to me?
01:13:22The two car franchises, the yacht, the house, the holidays and the sun.
01:13:26You're telling me all that comes from the brothels.
01:13:28Don't the tax men ever ask you where the money comes from?
01:13:30What, do you think I threatened those tax fellows?
01:13:32But that's bullshit. I was with my accountant when I saw them.
01:13:34And the fellow, the tax man, was very fair.
01:13:36No, I'm legit. They can't touch me.
01:13:41Who shot me, John?
01:13:44You know as well as I do, Veronica.
01:13:47I need to hear it from you.
01:13:49Gerry Hutch.
01:13:52I'd say I'm one of the only people in Dublin who knows who did 90% of the hits last year.
01:13:56Because you're Gilligan's partner, right?
01:13:58Look, I'm a fairly minor player.
01:14:01I'm not like the millionaire. You've seen Gilligan's house.
01:14:03I mean, he's a two or three million fucking horse shed out the front.
01:14:07It'll hold 8,000 people. I'm not in his league.
01:14:11So why you ask me all these questions? What's the story about?
01:14:17You.
01:14:20Me?
01:14:21Yeah. I'm going to say you're a dealer.
01:14:23I'm going to name you. I'm going to quote you on Hutch.
01:14:25You can't do that, Veronica.
01:14:27I think I can.
01:14:28You do that and I'm a fucking dead man.
01:14:30Ah, you poor fella.
01:14:31Listen to me, Veronica. I'm trying to fucking help you.
01:14:35Now take Gilligan's offer.
01:14:38Look, I can't control him.
01:14:39And you don't know how far he'll go to keep from going back to prison.
01:14:42I came with a photographer from the paper.
01:14:44I sent it over there next to the police.
01:14:47Smile.
01:14:54Let go of my door, John.
01:15:12Fuck.
01:15:14Fuck.
01:15:39Twenty-one, five ways.
01:15:43That's true.
01:15:45Yeah.
01:15:48Hello? Just a minute. Just... Hello?
01:15:52She'll be at the nice courthouse tomorrow morning.
01:16:13Put the fucking wheelie!
01:16:15Put the fucking wheelie!
01:16:18Put the fucking wheelie!
01:16:32Come on in here.
01:16:43Fuck.
01:16:44Fuck.
01:16:45Fuck.
01:17:12One hundred pounds fine.
01:17:16Thank you.
01:17:20Well done.
01:17:45Fuck.
01:18:15Fuck.
01:18:26She's ill.
01:18:28Fuck.
01:18:42Mum, I'm driving. Can you believe it? They let me off.
01:18:45They actually let me off. I love you. Talk to you...
01:18:58Yeah, another of me to bend and return to decent society.
01:19:05Veronica?
01:19:27Veronica?
01:19:58I alone live in one
01:20:02I heard you, my darling
01:20:08Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
01:20:13I can't define on the ground
01:20:17Our rebellion shut us down
01:20:22Now you must raise our child with dignity
01:20:28Love, light a field
01:20:32A teen driver once
01:20:35He watched a small river fly
01:20:41Our love was on the wing
01:20:45We had dreams and songs to sing
01:20:48It's so lonely round the field
01:20:51Of a teen driver
01:20:59By a misty harboured wall
01:21:02She watched the luster falling
01:21:09As a prison ship sailed out against the sky
01:21:15For she'd wait and hope and pray
01:21:18For love and what we'd pay
01:21:22It's so lonely round the field
01:21:25Of a teen driver
01:21:29Love, light a field
01:21:33A teen driver once
01:21:36He watched a small river fly
01:21:42Our love was on the wing
01:21:45We had dreams and songs to sing
01:21:49It's so lonely round the field
01:21:52Of a teen driver
01:21:59I alone live in one
01:22:03I heard you, my darling
01:22:10Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
01:22:15I can't define on the ground
01:22:19Our rebellion shut us down
01:22:23You must raise our child with dignity
01:22:30Love, light a field
01:22:34A teen driver once
01:22:37He watched a small river fly
01:22:43Our love was on the wing
01:22:46We had dreams and songs to sing
01:22:50It's so lonely round the field
01:22:53Of a teen driver
01:22:58Veronica Geeran's writing turned the tide in the drug war
01:23:04Her murder galvanised Ireland into action
01:23:08Thousands of people took to the streets in weekly anti-drug marches
01:23:13Which drove the dealers out of Dublin
01:23:16And forced the drug barons underground
01:23:21Get him! Get him!
01:23:24Get him! Fucking get him!
01:23:27Stop! Stop!
01:23:29Get away!
01:23:31Within a week of her death, during an emergency session of parliament
01:23:35The government altered the constitution of the Republic of Ireland
01:23:39To allow the High Court to freeze the assets of suspected drug barons
01:23:51That same year, the Criminal Assets Bureau, CAB, was formed
01:23:56And given the power to access and seize unexplained wealth from suspected criminals
01:24:21Charles Bowden turned state's evidence
01:24:24And became the first person in Irish history
01:24:27To be entered into the Witness Protection Program
01:24:45Brian Meehan was sentenced to life imprisonment
01:24:49For the murder of Veronica Geeran
01:24:51And his assets were seized by the CAB
01:24:59Eugene Holland was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking
01:25:03His assets were seized by CAB
01:25:08John Traynor escaped to Portugal
01:25:10And continues to fight extradition to Ireland and charges of murder
01:25:14His assets were seized by the CAB
01:25:20After a long extradition battle
01:25:22John Gilligan was brought back to Ireland from England
01:25:25And sentenced to 28 years in prison for drug trafficking
01:25:29His assets were seized by CAB
01:25:38By the following year, John Gilligan's assets were seized by the CAB
01:25:45By the following year, crime rates had dropped 15%
01:25:59Everyone in the Republic of Ireland remembers where they were
01:26:02When they heard that Veronica Geeran had been murdered on the Nace Road
