00:00I'm scared of death, but aren't we all?
00:27What lies on the other side?
00:29Every death forces us to look in the mirror, to think about our own demise.
00:35That's why we need ritual, something which allows the living to move on, letting us bury
00:41the secrets of the dead, forever.
00:45But secrets are a funny thing.
00:48And they have a way of clawing their way back to the surface.
01:08Inky's family will mind us being there.
01:09How can you, Dara?
01:10It's not a funeral, Scissor.
01:11It's a wake.
01:12Knowing the deceased isn't necessary.
01:14Getting smashed in their honorees.
01:15Ah, it's good, Crick.
01:16I've been to wakes where I barely even knew them.
01:17I'll fucking kill him.
01:18I'll fucking kill him.
01:19No!
01:20I'm fucking stunned!
01:21What the hell are you doing?
01:22You come back from California with your slimy head.
01:23What the hell?
01:24And you think you own the town.
01:25Take a look at the state of the place.
01:26I can't believe this.
01:27Dad, Dara is here.
01:28Dad!
01:29Dara!
01:30Dara!
01:31Dara!
01:32Dara!
01:33Dara!
01:34Dara!
01:35Dara!
01:36Dara!
01:37Dara!
01:38Dara!
01:39Dara!
01:40Dara!
01:41Dara!
01:42Dad, Dara isn't even cold yet.
01:44And here you are setting out your wares for a party.
01:47Is he okay?
01:48Have you no respect?
01:50A man is dead.
01:52And you're preparing some cheap disco.
01:54Dara gave this festival his full blessing.
01:56And a signed contract.
01:58Unlike some people, he could see what we're trying to do here.
02:01To bring this town together for something positive.
02:03You lanky wanker.
02:04I ought to rip your fucking tongue out.
02:06Try it.
02:07I'll sue you until you can't even afford to breathe.
02:09Seamus, relax.
02:13Fuck you, shitpants.
02:23Bucking is changing, Seamus.
02:25The future's gonna happen.
02:27Whether you like it or not.
02:33Back to work now.
02:35Chop, chop.
02:37You're right, Gilbert.
02:39He is a really nice guy.
02:41A really nice guy.
02:50Would you look at all this nonsense?
02:52It's a lot of fuss.
02:53No.
02:54The last Samhain festival ended in disaster.
02:56Not to mention the vandalism and wanton destruction of property that took place.
03:01As head of the Samhain Safety Committee,
03:03I assumed your podcast would be very interested in hearing our perspective on it.
03:08I'd rather listen to fucking paint dry.
03:12I'm sorry.
03:14I'm sorry.
03:15Thanks for coming.
03:16Make yourself a cup of tea.
03:19Jesus, the lungs on her.
03:22Who are they?
03:23Dara's two sisters down from Mayo.
03:25The whole place is theirs now.
03:27Looking to get a pretty penny for it.
03:29You sure it's okay to just turn up like this?
03:32Dara's family are in Morney.
03:33Exactly.
03:34So they're throwing a three-day party to cheer themselves up.
03:37Besides, the badger's in there.
03:40He and I need to have a little chat.
03:41I'll talk to Seamus, all right?
03:43You'll just scare him off.
03:45For all we know, he's been living a perfectly innocent life all this time.
03:48Men like him don't change.
03:50Think about it.
03:51I get run over.
03:52Sean's car is set on fire.
03:53I know Dara's accident.
03:54You really think he was murdered?
03:56Well, let's not jump to conclusions, all right?
03:58Our job is to ask questions, not to make wild assumptions.
04:02Okay.
04:03Let's go.
04:09Sorry.
04:31Let's go, let's go!
04:34Let's go!
04:46Did you like the make-up?
04:47Did it myself.
04:50Are you the undertaker or something?
04:52I am, actually.
04:54Mary Donovan.
04:55Donovan and Sons Funeral Home.
04:57Sons?
04:58My brothers were more squeamish than anticipated.
05:01And you are?
05:03Dove.
05:04I'm curious.
05:05Was there an autopsy on Dara's body?
05:07You only carry out an autopsy when the death is suspicious.
05:10Dara's was not.
05:11Poor man just tripped and hit his head.
05:13How can you be so sure?
05:14Angle of the fall, depth of the wound,
05:16a blood alcohol level that could strip the paint.
05:19On behalf of the family,
05:20I'd like to thank you all for coming to pay your respects.
05:24In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
05:28Hail Mary, the Lord is with thee.
05:29Blessed art thou amongst women,
05:30and blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
05:32Holy Mary, Mother of God,
05:33pray for us sinners now and at our death.
05:36Hail Mary, full of grace,
05:37the Lord is with thee.
05:38Blessed art thou amongst women,
05:39and blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
05:41Holy Mary, Mother of God,
05:42pray for us sinners now and at our death.
05:45Hail Mary, full of grace,
05:46the Lord is with thee.
05:47Blessed art thou amongst women,
05:48and blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
05:50Holy Mary, Mother of God,
05:52pray for us sinners now and at our death.
05:56We serve thee.
05:57Blessed art thou amongst women,
05:58and blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
06:08Egg and tuna in the one sandwich.
06:10Baffling.
06:13Sad day.
06:15Poor Dara.
06:18What was his second name?
06:23Thought so.
06:25You ought to be ashamed of yourself
06:26for picking over honest people's grief like a vulture.
06:29I'm a journalist.
06:31Of course you are.
06:34And I know it's fun for you city folk
06:35to come down here and gawp at us,
06:37but our lives aren't fodder for your entertainment.
06:40You seem pretty interesting to me.
06:43Well, now, I might have an interesting story for you.
06:46Let's say I work for the British government
06:49and I want to whistle-blow about a bunch of data breaches
06:52in the healthcare system.
06:54So, I tell my story to a journalist
06:58who promises me all sorts of anonymity.
07:01Somehow, on the very day said journalist publishes her story,
07:05my name is leaked
07:07and my life is turned upside down.
07:11Well, I just might end up killing myself.
07:15All because of this journalist's glaring incompetence.
07:19You want to be careful gawping,
07:21you never know who'll gawp back.
07:27Mmm.
07:28Nice sausages, mind.
07:38The Rolling Stones are the best band ever.
07:41Wild Horses.
07:42Think about it.
07:43Wild Horses.
07:44Doesn't get any better.
07:45As a fact, you can't go wrong with the Stones.
07:48I don't know why they try to make new songs anymore.
08:05You look very relaxed for a man who's up to his ears in debt.
08:08This isn't really the time or the place to be.
08:12I'm fucking with you.
08:13Relax.
08:14It's a party.
08:16No money talk.
08:19What is she talking about?
08:21Nothing.
08:22So, were you close with Dara?
08:27No, not really.
08:28We had a few business dealings over the years.
08:30Okay.
08:31And was he friends with Malachy?
08:33Who?
08:34Malachy, the guy who disappeared on sound.
08:37I didn't know him.
08:39What about you?
08:41What about you?
08:42What were you doing on sound?
08:43Sounds like it was a pretty crazy night.
08:45I wouldn't know.
08:46I missed the entire thing.
08:48I gave my pal Greta a lift to Dublin that night.
08:50But by the time I got back, it was all over.
08:53Yeah.
08:56All right.
08:58I'm going in.
08:59I'm going to see what I can tease out about Dara and Malachy.
09:01Great.
09:02I'll try to see if I can find anything, too.
09:03All right.
09:11Oh, for fuck's sake.
09:19I can offer you a real drink if you're interested.
09:29Homemade pudgy?
09:31Guaranteed to change any mood.
09:33For better or worse.
09:35It's good stuff. I make it in the bathtub.
09:38Yeah, I don't think going blind will cheer me up.
09:42Find your own drink, then, if you're so chicken shit.
09:51Jesus fucking hell.
09:52I ate it with formaldehyde.
09:54It adds character, if you know what I mean.
09:59You're some easy mark, do you know that?
10:08That's the spirit.
10:12Jesus, why are the sexy ones always so moody?
10:34That should do it.
10:37He was as sweet as an angel, was Dara.
10:40Never a bad word for anyone.
10:43I spent months trying to shift Dara,
10:46but he said that he wanted to wait until he was married,
10:48so I married Tommy here.
10:51Now, with Tommy, I had the opposite problem.
10:54He's like a rabbit.
10:57Dara used to be quite devout,
10:59but he never attended mass again after it sped away.
11:02I thought he never left the farm.
11:04It's a long time ago now.
11:05You know where he went?
11:07You know yourself.
11:08A nod is as good as a wink to a blind man, huh?
11:12Is that head-nosey, I see, Dara?
11:17You're kind of interesting, aren't you?
11:20I've been called worse.
11:22Yeah, I bet.
11:26Trade you one for one?
11:32All right, you go first.
11:35All right.
11:43I traded Bodkin for London.
11:46Small town, big dreams,
11:47fell in love, fell out of love.
11:52Turns out I'm better at handling dead ones than live ones,
11:54so I came home.
11:56There are plenty of dead ones in London.
11:58Yeah, but not so many wakes.
12:00Where would I meet anyone new?
12:05You know, normally people who take themselves so seriously
12:08are kind of a pain in the ass,
12:09but on you it is kind of cute.
12:14You're drunk.
12:17Yeah, well, I'd want to be.
12:20This stuff is about 90% proof.
12:26Can we go to the chase?
12:30I want...
12:33Excuse me.
12:36Damien.
12:40Bye, then.
12:42He's the fucking badger, Damien.
12:44An infamous smuggler,
12:45missing slash presumed dead,
12:46living all this time getting a bloody bug.
12:48This could be huge.
12:49Stop. Stop.
12:50What?
12:51I haven't even told you the best bit.
12:52I mean it. Stop.
12:53Breathe.
12:54Don't tell me to breathe.
12:55Damien, I'm always fucking breathing.
12:57They got a warrant to search your flat.
12:59They found Kurtek's laptop.
13:01Now, the Home Office think that you stole it.
13:04They are launching a formal investigation against you.
13:08That's bullshit. I didn't steal it.
13:10He asked me to mine it.
13:11It's standard practice.
13:12No, Dub, it's not.
13:13It's government property.
13:16The guy was scared shitless.
13:17He came to me asking for help.
13:18What was I supposed to do?
13:19You were supposed to tell me
13:20so this wouldn't hit me like a fucking train.
13:23Damien, you know this is bullshit.
13:25They're punishing me for breaking the story.
13:27I mean, they're the ones that fucking leaked his name.
13:30I think you need to come home.
13:32Oh, no, you want me home.
13:34I find a story here, an actual story,
13:36and you want me home to defend myself
13:38against faceless bureaucrats
13:40who've got their knickers in a twist?
13:41No, not a chance.
13:43Dub, it's serious.
13:45Of course it's fucking serious,
13:46so I need you to step up.
13:47Vouch for me.
13:48Tell them I mentioned it here at the time.
13:50Lie for you, you mean?
13:52You're meant to protect me, Damien.
13:56You really think there's a story in this badger thing?
13:58100%.
14:01Keep on it, then.
14:02I'll see what I can do from here.
14:04Fuck.
14:35Do you, uh, know Darrow well?
14:39Well as you can know anyone, I suppose.
14:43Seems like he was a good man.
14:45He was, he was.
14:47Good friend.
14:49Helped me out a lot.
14:52He was good to my brother.
14:54Does your brother live around here?
14:56Who's that dolph woman?
14:58Uh, what about her?
14:59I mean, she's a good friend of mine.
15:02Uh, what about her?
15:03I mean, she's a fiercely irritating individual.
15:06Yeah.
15:07Can't argue with you there.
15:08The type of woman that'd start a fight in an empty room.
15:11Yeah, she's, uh, very driven.
15:14I see.
15:15I had a different word.
15:19Would you excuse me a moment?
15:21Why don't you grab us some drinks?
15:24I heard them lads only missing the sound of their arms and legs chopped off.
15:28Hey, you want to come round mine later?
15:29I've got a big secret I could show you.
15:31Oh, get the fuck the lot of you, will you?
15:33It's a bunch of inbred scobes.
15:34Get this off, would you?
15:35Yeah.
15:36I was in the middle of something.
15:37They don't know shit.
15:39It's just a bunch of cowboys looking for the ride.
15:41Does that make you?
15:42I'm the horse whisperer, darling.
15:44Does that line ever work?
15:46Yeah.
15:47Yes, sometimes.
15:48You'd be surprised.
15:49Yeah.
15:51Yes, sometimes.
15:52You'd be surprised.
15:53Really would.
15:54Don't look mean with those cultures, though.
15:57I'm better than this lot here.
15:58I'm made for more.
15:59Like what?
16:00More than anyone here could imagine.
16:02I've already survived an orphanage.
16:05Nobody knows what I've been through.
16:07I don't belong here.
16:08Do you know what I mean?
16:10I actually do, yeah.
16:15If you fancy, we can jump in the back of my car and search together.
16:18Jesus, Sean!
16:21I was joking.
16:22It was a joke, obviously.
16:23We can jump in the front.
16:26What are you doing?
16:27My job.
16:37Shall I come with you?
16:39No.
16:47Having fun, pet?
16:48Loads.
16:51Thanks.
16:55I wasn't sure how much milk you took.
16:57I hope it's okay.
16:58No, that's perfect.
17:00I'd murder a cup of tea.
17:04Excuse me.
17:05Hi, there.
17:06I'm Emmy.
17:07I just wondered if I could talk to you about the, uh...
17:09So, this podcast of yours, it's about Soane, right?
17:13The disappearances?
17:14Yes, but it's about the town, too.
17:16We just want to talk with people, see where the story takes us.
17:18Good luck getting any sense out of anyone in this town.
17:22Claire, where are you?
17:24Are you open PA, guys?
17:25Fleetwood Mac, our bog-standard top 40 shite.
17:29That's what your taste in music is, shite.
17:31And they should be flushed down the toilet where they belong.
17:34Well, you should flush yourself down after them because you're full of it, shite.
17:37Here, hold that.
17:38You want more of this?
17:40Drink?
17:43You lovely men.
17:44You know, so many people have said such kind things about Tara.
17:48Thank you.
17:50You know, it's funny.
17:51He told me that he never left this place.
17:54But then I was hearing about a time that he did leave town.
18:00We should have a word.
18:01In private.
18:03Of course.
18:05Sorry if I was rude earlier.
18:07Sometimes this place makes me so mad I forget why I came back.
18:11I imagine Balkan's a bit of a culture shock for you.
18:14You don't know anything about me.
18:26Hello, I'm Fintan.
18:28Sorry for being a dick just then.
18:30You seem cool and interesting.
18:33I'm not.
18:35I'm not.
18:37I'm not.
18:38You seem cool and interesting and I'd like to talk to you.
18:42And hopefully we can have a full conversation before you realise how painfully socially awkward I am.
18:48Good pivot.
18:50That's the first law of tech.
18:51Interpret the data and adapt.
18:54Nicely done.
19:09Like you have your ups and downs with family, but...
19:12at the end of the day, they're your own flesh and blood.
19:15You don't want anyone to be thinking ill of them.
19:17Yeah, of course.
19:18We wouldn't want to upset either you or your sister in your hour of grief.
19:23The last thing the family wants is for Dara to be remembered for his mistakes.
19:27Yeah, of course.
19:28No point dragging it over the coals now.
19:31Thank you.
19:33I mean, we were mortified when he was sent to prison.
19:36But then he comes back with that boy Malachi in tow.
19:39Nothing was ever the same again.
19:41Yeah, Dara and Malachi met in prison.
19:45Yeah.
19:46I could never understand it.
19:49Dara thought the world of him.
19:51He was heartbroken when Malachi disappeared.
19:55I tried to comfort him, but he never really listened to me.
19:59She always confided in Alice.
20:02Oh, but I loved him so much.
20:04I loved him so much.
20:06Of course you did.
20:07I did.
20:08Of course.
20:34I love you.
20:36I'm sorry.
21:03For a penny?
21:04So, what do you remember of Samhain?
21:09I, uh...
21:11I saw Jackie Lantern.
21:14Who?
21:15He's this mythic blacksmith who's doomed to wander the Earth for eternity.
21:19When we were kids, we'd dare each other to go up to the Bog Lake on Samhain because that's where Jackie Lantern turns up.
21:25And?
21:27Well, I'll be honest.
21:29I was 14 at the time, and I'd recently discovered magic mushrooms.
21:34And I was trying to show off to a girl, so I took shrooms and ended up there.
21:39And you saw him?
21:40Oh, yeah.
21:42I saw a huge, hulking, hideous monster emerging from the bog on Samhain.
21:48You're making this up.
21:49I'm not.
21:51I swear.
21:57Nice view.
21:59All I see is shit.
22:01Fields and fields of shit.
22:04Besides, every second here is another moment away from my poor, sick Morris.
22:10He has the cancer, you know.
22:15How long have you been married?
22:17Morris is my cat.
22:23No one understands, do they?
22:26You know how much our cats mean to us.
22:29Do you have a cat?
22:30Oh, yeah. Two.
22:33What breed are they?
22:35You know, they're, uh...
22:37Strays, is the best way to describe it.
22:41Yeah, I got them from our rescue.
22:46Good man.
22:52So, Dot mentioned how heartbroken Dara was when Malachy went missing.
22:56They must have been great friends.
22:59Friends?
23:00That's one word for it, I suppose.
23:03What do you mean?
23:04Don't be daft.
23:06Poor Dara obviously dug with the other foot.
23:12Were they together?
23:13Hardly.
23:15Malachy never seemed to return my brother's feelings, but he did exploit them.
23:19Malachy kept Dara on a short leash.
23:22Made him rent that land to him for years for next to nothing.
23:26Everyone could see it but Dara, the great big idiot.
23:29Then Malachy disappeared.
23:31And his brother just waltzed into town, took over the lease at the same rate.
23:36He let those two good-for-nothing brothers just take advantage of him.
23:39So, Malachy had a brother?
23:42Of course.
23:43Weren't you talking to him earlier?
23:45At Sheem's Galler.
23:48Oh.
23:56I'm sorry.
24:27And then the devil gave Jackie a hock hole and a turnip.
24:30It's why you carve pumpkins on Halloween.
24:33You think the devil gave you something more useful?
24:35Like a car?
24:40Um, so, what did he look like?
24:42Who?
24:43Jackie.
24:44Jackie.
24:45Jackie.
24:46Jackie.
24:47Jackie.
24:48Jackie.
24:49Jackie.
24:50Jackie.
24:51Jackie.
24:52Jackie.
24:53Jackie.
24:54Jackie.
24:55Who?
24:56Jackie Lanton.
24:57Oh.
24:59Very big.
25:01Very frightening.
25:03Only the bravest of boys can look at him.
25:05And that's you, is it?
25:07It's a blessing and a curse.
25:09You know, I haven't thought about that night in so long.
25:12God, I think there was some sort of a car crash that night too.
25:16Where?
25:18I didn't see it.
25:20I didn't see it.
25:21I just heard this screeching and then a huge crash
25:25and then this blood-curdling scream over near the Casement Road.
25:29But when I finally got over there, there was no sign of a crash at all.
25:34Nothing.
25:36But that's when I saw Jackie.
25:38Out in the distance.
25:40Coming out of the bog lake.
25:42And what did Jackie do?
25:45Honestly?
25:47I don't know.
25:48I ran away.
25:50But only for very impressive and manly reasons.
25:54That's so brave.
25:55Bravest.
26:21Yeah, Gilbert.
26:23Such a nice guy.
26:26Then you hear some tech bros in town and you imagine someone...
26:30Someone...
26:32A bit cooler than you.
26:36You're mean.
26:37I'm just interpreting the data.
26:39Have you seen Dev?
26:40She left.
26:41Left for where?
26:42Incredible as it is to believe, she didn't talk through her plans with me.
26:47Do you mind?
26:48Thank you.
26:51But listen.
26:53You have to hear this, okay?
26:54Benton saw something on the knife, saw it.
26:56Saw what?
26:57He heard a car crash outside of town and a scream.
27:00Then saw a mythical blacksmith from Irish folklore coming out of a bog.
27:04Okay, well, get it on tape.
27:05Maybe it'll add to the general mood.
27:07You said you wanted folk tales.
27:09Text me if you see Dev.
27:17All good?
27:20Just a thought.
27:21You want to change your scenery?
27:24You need to ask permission?
27:27No.
27:29Let's go.
27:50Okay.
28:12Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
28:16No, don't stop
28:18He'll still be here
28:20He'll be here
28:22Better than before
28:24Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
28:30Hang on.
28:41Tommy!
28:43Right, lads.
28:44I don't need to tell you how important it is to protect the goods.
28:47Yeah?
29:06Fuck off.
29:15Nice ride.
29:18You're not going to believe what I found out.
29:20You're not going to believe what I found out.
29:33Seamus and Malachy were brothers?
29:35Yes.
29:36Okay, but why would they come here and rent Dara's land?
29:40Well, the coastline is incredibly difficult to police.
29:42It's a perfect haven for smugglers.
29:44We're on to something, Gilbert, I'm telling you.
29:47So what does it mean that Seamus wanted to marry Fiona?
29:49It's Shakespeare.
29:51Two brothers smuggling drugs, fighting for control of their empire.
29:54Malachy steals Seamus' fiancΓ©e, so Seamus kills both of them.
29:58Okay, but what about Teddy?
30:00Why'd he go missing?
30:01I don't know.
30:02He was probably wanking in the woods for three days.
30:04Teenage boys are gross.
30:07A smuggler murders family.
30:09That's the story.
30:13SlΓ‘inte.
30:17The entire thing will be 100% renewable.
30:20A vertical farm, 250 well-paying jobs.
30:23You trying to sell this to me? Because I'm convinced.
30:26I'm just excited.
30:27The server farm I'm building now is just the beginning.
30:30And we can expand into wind farms, geothermal, housing, infrastructure.
30:36Balkan 2.0.
30:39Curious much?
30:42These are Teddy's, right?
30:44Yeah.
30:46You a fan of his work?
30:48In a way.
30:52He was a friend.
30:54A good friend.
30:56Was?
30:57He and I, we had a sort of a rift a long time ago.
31:01I'm just trying to help him out.
31:03Why would you do that?
31:05Why would you do that?
31:07The night he disappeared, I...
31:10I was supposed to meet him, but I ditched him for the sake of that girl.
31:15He used to be such a smart guy.
31:17Smarter than me.
31:19Funny.
31:21But after he disappeared, that's how he was.
31:24Different.
31:26Quiet.
31:28Dark.
31:31You feel guilty?
31:33I suppose I keep thinking if I'd met him as planned, then maybe he'd be okay.
31:41I always struggled to fit in, you know?
31:43I was one of those kids who always seemed to be the butt of the joke.
31:46Is that why Seamus called you shitpants?
31:51When I was ten, I shat my pants during a school play.
31:56Been my nickname ever since.
31:58Say what you like about Balkan, we're a literal people.
32:02But not Teddy.
32:05He was always loyal.
32:08He probably spent the whole night waiting for me to turn up.
32:11Hey, what would you have done?
32:15All the shit that happened that night was so long ago.
32:20Can we not let it go and move forward?
32:23Just have a little fucking fun?
32:25I can try.
32:32So?
32:34Are we doing this?
32:36Doing what?
32:37Fun.
32:39Come on.
33:01Job, come dance!
33:03No. Dancing's a weakness.
33:06Sorry. You're far too cool to dance.
33:09Yeah, precisely. You've read me very well, Gilbert.
33:12You hate everything.
33:14SlΓ‘inte.
33:17Come on, you must like something. Tell me one thing you like.
33:21Whiskey.
33:23Whiskey's a thing. It's not a hobby.
33:25Come on, tell me what you like to do.
33:28Gilbert, what you've just said is blasphemy.
33:30Whiskey is an Irishman's number one hobby.
33:33What do you like to do when you're not working?
33:37I write poetry.
33:39Long, romantic epics
33:42filled with lust and desire and heartbreak.
33:46Bullshit.
33:48I don't know if you've realized this about me yet, Gilbert,
33:51but I'm kind of an arsehole.
33:53No, I realize what that means.
33:55See?
33:57This version of you, wild Gilbert,
34:00it's way more fun than that sunshiny yank I first met.
34:03I guess that's as close to a compliment as I'm going to get from you.
34:07So...
34:18It's time to get out of here.
34:21Wait, I'll get this.
34:31Just the fella I was looking for.
34:33Who's that?
34:35The yank here owes me money.
34:37He owes you shit.
34:39He owes me 8,000 fucking euro.
34:41I owe that lot of money to you.
34:43I don't care, love.
34:48That's my nose, you crazy cunt.
34:52Get up, Gilbert!
34:54Get up!
35:01Oh.
35:03Oh.
35:05Oh, my God.
35:078,000 euro.
35:09I know, I know. I can explain.
35:11You fucking idiot.
35:13I know, I know. It wasn't my finest hour, all right?
35:15You've only been here for two minutes.
35:17Yeah, it was the first night in the pub,
35:19and I, you know, I drank a little bit too much,
35:22and then I guess I just tried too hard to ingratiate myself.
35:25You give me so much shit for bulldozing in,
35:28and then you go and lose 8 grand.
35:30I know, but...
35:32I'm in real trouble, all right?
35:34I've mortgaged my house,
35:36and I've borrowed money, a ton of money,
35:39just to keep my company going.
35:41David says you're the hit maker.
35:43No, one hit. I had one fucking hit.
35:48And for a moment, I was like,
35:50oh, everyone's listening to me, right?
35:52And that's when I started the company,
35:54and I threw every cent that I had in it
35:58but it's like everything after that has hit the air
36:02like a fucking lead balloon.
36:05Just...
36:08It's like nobody's listening to me.
36:12Fuck.
36:15Fuck.
36:21Ah.
36:25What if I'm a one-hit wonder?
36:30It's not just career.
36:32You know, it's like everything is falling apart.
36:35Money, debt, things with my wife.
36:38It's just not good.
36:41I can fix everything, all right?
36:44I can get back to where I belong.
36:46I just need this one to work.
36:49All right? I need your help.
36:54I get it.
36:56Everyone's out to get you.
36:59You're just trying to do your job.
37:01You're just trying to tell the fucking truth.
37:04They don't want to hear it. They never do.
37:08So you do everything, fucking everything
37:14to get the job done.
37:19No matter the consequences.
37:25Are we talking about the same thing?
37:30I get it.
37:38I get it.
37:48That looks delicious. Thank you.
37:51What will you be having this morning?
37:54Tea. Just tea.
38:02How can you eat?
38:05You know, I started drinking a glass of water
38:07between every pint of Guinness, and it really helps.
38:09You should try it.
38:12So, what's our game plan?
38:14Oh, go back to bed, sleep forever.
38:18We have to go to Dara's funeral.
38:21I'd like to dedicate my hangover to Dara.
38:24He'd want me to go back to bed.
38:27Oh, Seamus will be there, and you'll need to talk to him.
38:33Uh, look, I'd like the guy,
38:37but if he really is the badger,
38:39isn't it dangerous to confront him?
38:42Seamus is the key.
38:44You own a big podcast.
38:46Catching him will deliver that in spades.
38:55I hope I didn't worry you.
38:58Well, I'm only just in, actually.
39:01You missed a button.
39:10Because God has chosen to call our brother Dara
39:13from this life to himself,
39:15we commit his body to the earth.
39:17For we are dust, and unto dust we shall return.
39:20But the Lord Jesus Christ shall change our mortal bodies
39:23to be like himself in glory,
39:25for he is risen, the firstborn from the dead.
39:28We commend our brother Dara to the Lord.
39:30Go on.
39:31So the Lord may embrace him in peace and raise his body...
39:34Wasn't worth while ever came easy.
39:40For our brother Dara, let us pray to the Lord Jesus Christ,
39:43who said, I am the resurrection and the life.
39:46Whoever believes in me...
39:47Seamus, wait up.
39:49Whoever lives and believes shall never die.
39:51Got a minute?
39:52For what?
39:53I wondered if you wanted to talk.
39:57Talk?
39:59You know, about Dara?
40:04He gets seasick.
40:09So may your mercy join him to the angels in heaven.
40:12We ask this through Christ our Lord.
40:14Amen.
40:15Hello.
40:27I saw you standing here, and I thought it might be worth seeing
40:30if you had reconsidered your interest in our worthy cause.
40:33No.
40:34Let's go.
40:37Sorry.
40:40I know you must think we're just a bunch of small-town busybodies,
40:43but our concerns are genuine.
40:44We don't want history to repeat itself.
40:47You might be more interested if you knew what happened to Seamus that night.
40:51Oh, sorry.
40:53What do you mean?
40:55The statue of St. Seamus in the grotto on Casement Road.
40:58Christ.
41:00This is important.
41:02At the last Samhain festival, a car crashed into poor St. Seamus
41:05and almost completely destroyed him.
41:07That level of violence is totally unacceptable.
41:10Did you say car crash?
41:11On the Casement Road.
41:12Isn't that what I've been trying to tell you?
41:15Daph, wait!
41:20I picked and heard a car crash up there,
41:22and then saw something, someone walking out of a bog.
41:24Maybe Malachy? Fiona?
41:28Something happened up there that night.
41:32Where is this road?
41:36You know, in Ireland it was considered bad luck
41:40for a fisherman to learn how to swim.
41:42That doesn't seem sensible.
41:44Ah, well, it is and it isn't.
41:48You know, maybe it seemed wrong to tempt fate,
41:51or maybe there was no point in fighting the inevitable.
41:58Dara loved the sea.
42:00Told me once he wanted to be cremated and his ashes spread to the waves.
42:04He hated the idea of being trapped in a box.
42:08His sisters buried him anyway.
42:11Mad, isn't it? All the things you think are so important.
42:14The next thing you know, you're in a box.
42:24You ever, uh, lose anyone close?
42:28Haven't we all?
42:34The worst thing for me was my wife.
42:38It was cancer. It was bad.
42:42I took the most intimate and difficult parts
42:46from the worst time of my married life,
42:49and I shared them with the whole world.
42:55Never thought for a second that, you know,
42:57how big it would become, the public.
43:02People loved it.
43:05True love.
43:08Not everyone except my wife.
43:11She beat the cancer.
43:13Of course she did.
43:15We can't quite seem to beat what I did.
43:19Well, people do what they have to do to survive.
43:22Maybe that's all you were doing, surviving.
43:27I did the opposite.
43:30Tried to bury it, put it in the past.
43:38Who, uh, who was it that you lost?
43:49You lads seem awful interested in my past, I notice.
43:53Dove in particular.
43:55You know, it's the way she is with everyone.
43:59I did wonder if you maybe knew what she was fishing for.
44:15She...
44:17She thinks you were in a relationship with Fiona
44:20and that Malachi was her brother.
44:26Does she now?
44:32Do you know what happened to them?
44:42I didn't mean to...
44:44I know exactly what you meant.
44:47I loved that woman more than life itself, yeah?
44:50I saw my children in her eyes.
44:52I would have moved heaven and hell for her.
44:55Malachi...
44:57Malachi was my rock.
45:01And then one day they were just gone.
45:05Gone where?
45:08Sometimes you have to face the fact that some questions
45:12shouldn't be answered.
45:15So you hold on to that lovely wife of yours, Gilbert.
45:20Because there's some things that are worse than death.
45:28Purgatory's an Irish creation, after all.
45:38Swim well, friend.
45:46Look, the casement where he just dead ends into a bog.
45:52Zoom in.
45:57What does that look like to you?
45:59A car.
46:02We should call Gilbert.
46:07Maybe it's just a rock.
46:09Shaped like a car.
46:11Come on.
46:12I don't see anything.
46:14We've got two people who disappeared.
46:16And a mysterious car crash on that same night.
46:18You don't think it's connected?
46:20Maybe.
46:23One of us is going to have to go in.
46:30Hey.
46:35It's freezing.
46:37It's probably nothing.
47:08It's a car.
47:10Oh, my God.
47:11Right here.
47:12I fucking knew it.
47:14It's a car.
47:17Oh, my God.
47:18Right here.
47:19I fucking knew it.
47:20Did you get anything from Seamus?
47:34Look, he's not who you think he is.
47:40He's not who you think he is.
47:42You know, if he was the Badger,
47:44he definitely isn't anymore.
47:46He's just, just a man.
47:48Really, a sad man.
48:03You know, maybe this podcast
48:05isn't about all this crime stuff, you know?
48:08You know, maybe it's a story about grief
48:11and a man who's dealing with losing
48:12all the people he cares deepest about, right?
48:15Wow, yeah, great hook.
48:16People are really gonna want to listen to that.
48:19I think it sounds really interesting.
48:21You can't just go around pulling things out of bags.
48:23There's official paperwork needs filling out.
48:25Folks, you just stay back at a safe distance there, now.
48:27Go on, just get back there, lads, please.
48:28Just go on home.
48:29No, I don't know whose it is.
48:30No, so just get back there.
48:33It's empty.
48:36Right, it is empty.
48:37So there's nothing to see here,
48:38and we all go on home, please.
48:40It's worth a shot.
48:41I guess.
48:59Fuck me.
49:01Oh my God.
49:03Two bodies, locked together for over 20 years
49:07in a bog, buried secrets finally coming to life.
49:11It's a storyteller's dream.
49:14I wish we'd never fucking found them.
