-Colette, a case for you.
A theft from a room at the
Parnell Hotel on Collins Street.
- Was someone hurt?
- No.
-Oh.
-What? Not glamorous
enough for you?
-No. I...
-Jesus.
What have you done
to piss Jane off?
- A crime's a crime, Siobhán.
- Right.
So, when's the last time
that you investigated
a bit of stolen cash
in hotel room, huh?
Ten, 20, 40 years ago?
-How old do you think I am?
-I don't think I
should answer that.
So you came back from your walk
at approximately 10:15 a.m.,
and then that's
when you realized
that the 400 euro was missing.
All in 50-euro notes?
- Yeah.
I mean, last time, it was 50
quid and I was like, "Jesus.
Maybe we spent it out
that night on pints."
But this time it was 400 quid.
-We didn't spend that on pints.
-No. Of course not.
-So, you said last time, right?
Did you stay here before?
- Yeah.
So, we were here a
month ago for the match,
and that's when I
was missing a 50.
-But yet you came back.
-Well, we weren't sure
it had been taken.
And it's hard to find a
budget hotel on match day.
-Right.
Do you know if you're going
to be able to find who did it
and we can get it back?
-Yeah. I mean, 400
euro's 400 euro.
-Yeah, we'll try our best.
We're gonna follow up on
a few things, all right?
Here's my card if you need to
get in touch with us first.
- Thanks.
- Okay?
- Thank you.
- All right. You two take care.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
- She was nice.
- Mm-hmm.
-So we'll need the,
uh, work rosters,
uh, CCTV footage, and
any delivery records.
-It's... It's really just me
and the cleaners most days.
-Rosters, please.
Now.
-Sorry.
-Did you, uh, go into
the rooms at all?
-Why would I do that now, love?
I spend all my time
behind this desk.
You'll see.
There you are... CCTV.
-So, what can you tell
us about the cleaner
that was on the shift... Hanna?
-Um...
Yeah, she... well, she'd
come in of a morning,
and she'd make up the
beds and after check-out.
- Anything else you can tell us?
- Not much, really.
Um, she's...
I usually deal with
the agency directly.
Quiet girl. Not much English.
Polish, Romanian. One of those.
-One of those.
Right.
We'll get this back
to you. Thank you.
-Thanks.
-There's a group of
people around there now.
- Hey.
- Hi.
So, the maid, Hanna,
went into those rooms
right when Carmel and John
think the money was taken.
No one else even went near them.
-She was on the
roster both days.
Looks like she works
seven days a week.
Let's bring her in,
wrap this up quick.
- Do you want a coffee?
- Yeah, please.
Hey, Shane.
- Hey, Colette.
Have you got a few minutes?
- Yeah.
-So, I was just off the phone
to social welfare there.
They say they can
get a case worker
for the initial home visit this
afternoon if you can make it.
-Yeah, I think I
can make that work.
-Great. They'll be there, too.
So, normally, in
your circumstances,
this would be a bit
pro forma, you know?
But since their father's
back in the picture...
-I thought you
said not to worry.
They haven't seen him in years.
-Yeah, I know, but...
Well, it's just,
he's making a real
push, you know?
-Right.
What do we know about him?
-His name's Niall Kilduff.
Uh, he's back to Dublin from
England a couple of months ago.
He's working down at a
call center in the IFSC.
That's about all I have.
-All right.
Great.
-Yeah, okay. Thanks. Bye.
Um, she's trying to
sort out a translator,
but there's no one available.
They said they'll send
someone over this afternoon,
but, um, when is a
different question.
-Yeah.
-Colette, a word.
Perhaps you can tell me
in what circumstances
it is appropriate for an officer
to threaten a member
of the public?
- None.
- Correct.
So, given you are aware of this,
why did you threaten
Eoin Molony?
-I won't make any
excuses, Sergeant.
-Huh.
Well, that's the smartest
thing you've done all day.
Colette, I tried my best,
but I think you're still going
to get an official caution.
Now, if Organized Crime ever
do catch him on something,
I guarantee you, he will
pull this out in court
as evidence of a vendetta by
the Dublin Central Police.
From now on...
leave him alone.
-You okay?
-Yeah. I'll survive.
I need to do something off-site.
Will you call me when the
translator comes, yeah?
- Yeah.
- Great.
-No, I can't give you a quote
until tech see the notes.
Yeah. All right.
Okay, bye.
- Kilduff?
You have a personal visitor.
And this counts as your break.
- Yeah.
-Niall.
I'm Colette Cunningham.
I'm Stacey's mum.
-Yeah.
-I don't know how much
Stacey told you about me.
-Almost nothing.
But I do know you really
stepped up for my kids
while I got myself settled.
Took a while to move
everything over,
get everything in order.
Thanks, eh? I owe you one.
-Yeah, I imagine Her
Majesty's Prison Manchester
to Dublin must have
been a hard transition.
Right.
Stacey did say once you
were with the police.
Have you told the kids?
- No.
-Good. Look...
We just thought they were a
bit too young to understand.
You know, it was a fight in
a pub that got out of hand.
First time in trouble
with the law and all.
-But you were in
prison for two years.
The kids haven't heard from you
in so much longer than that.
-Well, I'm here for them now.
-They missed you at the funeral.
-They didn't need
another shock so soon.
I wanted to get myself
set up properly,
be ready to be a
proper father to them.
-Does a proper father
leave his kids alone
at their mother's funeral?
-Listen, Niall.
I just want what's best
for these kids, all right?
And I'm sure you do, too.
I don't think there's any
point in putting Liam and Cara
through a difficult court case.
-I was thinking the
exact same thing.
-Okay, so I was thinking
that maybe you could start
by seeing them
every other weekend.
-You're saying you think
you should get custody?
-No.
I'm sorry, but no.
They're my kids.
-They're not kids anymore.
They have lives.
They have boyfriends.
-Boyfriends?
Well, I'm looking forward
to getting to know.
-Stacey made me their
guardian, not you.
I think there's a
reason for that.
-We'll see what
the judge thinks.
-Yeah.
-I might have been
away for a bit,
but you've been gone
most of their lives.
- Save it.
- You barely know them!
- Hey, Liam.
- Hi, Colette.
Is everything okay?
- No, everything's all right.
Just knew you'd be on lunch.
-Oh, okay.
-Listen, I was thinking
of making a curry tonight
and wanted to know
if you and Cara
wanted to invite
Kevin and Ross over.
-Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
-Well, that's great. Yeah.
-Cool. I'll let Cara know.
-All right. I'll see you later.
- Yeah. Thanks, Colette.
- All right. Bye.
Jesus Christ.
I'm so sorry. Traffic
was a bloody nightmare.
- You're Colette Cunningham?
- Yeah.
-Nancy Dwyer, Child
Welfare and Protection.
-After you, Nancy.
There you go.
I meant to clean
up a little bit.
Busy morning.
Would you like a cuppa?
- No, thanks.
Are Liam and Cara here?
- No, they're at school.
-Good. Let's you and
me have a little chat.
-Right.
-Tell me about your
relationship with Liam and Cara.
How are you getting on?
-It's going really well.
I mean, they miss
their mum, but...
-You were estranged from
their mother, weren't you?
You only met the kids for the
first time a few weeks ago?
-Yeah, that wasn't my choice.
But...
I'm very grateful that Stacey
named me the kids' guardian.
-It must be a big adjustment.
-Yeah.
Liam's doing a little
bit better than Cara.
-I meant for you.
You haven't lived with teenagers
for a long time, right?
You've been independent,
responsible only for yourself.
It's a big change.
-I'm fine.
I'll do whatever it takes.
-It isn't about willingness.
It's about capacity.
You've got a stressful career.
How are you balancing
work and home?
-Thanks so much.
Um, Nancy?
So, what's next?
- A good few more steps.
I have to check into
references from your work.
I'll want to meet with
the kids at some point,
have a little chat with them.
-And then?
-We'll see how it goes.
-Hanna, the interpreter
should be here any minute.
All right?
Just, you're from Romania?
Yeah?
Your city... is it Bucharest?
-Home is Timisoara,
not Bucharest.
-Thank you, Hanna.
-This is Elise, our interpreter.
And, uh...
this lady here is your solicitor
from the Legal Aid Board.
Her name's Flora Adams.
Just introducing
myself. We're ready.
-Thank you.
Hanna, how long have you
worked at the Parnell Hotel?
- Doi ani.
- "Two years."
-You must be making good money,
all those hours you're working.
-Is that why you took
the money, Hanna?
They're not paying
you enough, are they?
- "I didn't take anything."
-Hanna, we have you on camera.
You were the only one
that went into the room.
-No comment.
-Hanna, this is a
very serious charge.
But if you cooperate with us,
the judge may look
upon you favorably.
-What did you say to her?
-Oh, she just asked
me to repeat it.
-She says, "I'm not
saying anything else.
I don't want to answer
any more questions."
- Yeah?
-I think we need
a new translator.
Hannah was loosening up,
and then the translator
said something to her, she
turned white as a sheet.
She's absolutely terrified.
-We'll be waiting hours
for a new translator
without something more specific.
I'm not saying you're wrong.
It's just, we need
something solid.
-What about Ryan from IT?
I mean, his mam's Romanian.
-Wouldn't hold up in court,
but it would give us
something more to go on.
-That was good thinking.
-She's saying things
you never said.
When you talk about the CCTV,
she says, "You need to
think about your family."
Her family will be in
danger if she talks.
Hanna says, "I've done
everything they told me to."
- "They"?
-And then, right
at the very end...
- Hanna says to tell them
she didn't say anything.
-Who's "them"?
-She's working around the clock.
She's worried sick
for her family.
-You think she's
been trafficked?
-Yeah, no doubt.
-Okay. I'll get
organized crime.
You two, go in there, remove her
and arrest her for obstruction.
And then get a new translator.
-Hanna, It's not ill*gal to
do something under duress.
If you tell us who they are,
we can try and help you.
- "They'll k*ll me."
- No. We can protect you.
-We can find you somewhere safe.
-"What about my
family in Romania?"
-We can try.
We'll do our best.
-Hanna, we know someone
made you steal the money.
-We're gonna release you,
but we don't think you'll be
safe where you're staying.
-We have somewhere for
you to stay tonight.
Somewhere you'll be safe.
Okay?
-I think you should
go there, Hanna.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Thank you, Hanna.
-Organized Crime have Elise,
the first interpreter,
in an interview room.
-I hope they nail her to a wall.
-It's a bit more
complicated than that.
They think she might
be another victim
working under duress
for the traffickers.
-What the hell is she
even doing on the roster?
-It's a small community.
I've ordered an investigation
into the database
of translators.
This cannot happen again.
-Is she always this late?
- Pretty much, yes.
Best get tucked
in, then. Come on.
- Sure, yeah.
- Give us your bowl.
- Thank you.
- Here you go.
Help yourself to curry.
-Thank you.
-There you go.
Don't be shy. Come on, Kevin.
-Oh, here they come.
-Hey. It smells good!
-Yeah. Hiya.
- Hiya.
- Ross, this is Colette.
Colette, Ross.
-Help yourselves.
- Thank you.
- Mm, thanks.
-How's it going?
- Good, yeah.
- Yeah?
I hear you're working in a pub.
-Uh, yeah.
- How's that?
- Fun.
-You know, I used to work
in a pub when I was his age.
- No, you didn't.
- Yeah, I did.
400 years ago.
-Yeah, I just did it
for a bit of spare cash
before I joined the police.
-I didn't mean there's anything
wrong with working in a pub.
I loved it. I didn't mean,
uh, it's not a good job.
-I-I had no trousers on.
And then she had to
put me in a taxi.
He took me, as well, which
I didn't think he would,
but he did, so it was all right.
- Good.
- That's mad.
-That was definitely the
last time I drank it anyway.
- It was so funny.
- I was in a ball, though.
- I was in a bad way.
- Yeah.
- Do you remember?
- Yeah.
-This is a cautionary
tale. You behave yourself.
-Colette, did you make dessert?
- No, I forgot.
- Oh.
-Of course I did!
Stick them on
there. There you go.
Thank you. All right.
- Thanks, Colette.
- Thank you.
She makes a nice curry.
-Ready?
Ta-da!
Come on.
Eat it before it gets cold.
It's Baked Alaska.
-Our mam used to make it.
And she made the same
stupid joke, as well.
-It's... It's fine.
-Oh, sh*t.
-No, I'm fine.
Yeah.
That was so f*cking stupid.
I used to make it for
her when she was little
on special occasions.
-I better go make sure
she's... You know.
-sh*t.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
She'll be all right.
- I'm so sorry.
- That's okay. Thank you.
-Mam!
-Come in here.
-Get her in here. Come
on, get her in there.
-He's so photogenic, isn't he?
-Oh, my God.
-It was a good day.
When your grandfather died,
it was such a shock, too.
I thought that I'd...
never feel happy again.
And for a long time,
I didn't let myself.
I didn't want it
to seem like I...
-Like you'd forgotten him.
-Yeah. Like I'd forgotten him.
He wouldn't have wanted
me to live half a life,
and neither would your mum.
She would want you to just
search for every scrap
of happiness you could find.
-Why did you send her away?
- Cara...
- No.
I just want to know.
-It's all right. Yeah.
When Andrew died, I was a mess.
And I wasn't there for your
mum the way I needed to be.
So she fell in with a bad crowd.
She was so young,
and she was hurting.
-And she'd lost her dad.
And there I was, wrapped
up in my own pain.
So we got in a big fight,
and I laid down the law
and I told her that it
was my house, my rules,
and if she didn't like
it, she could leave.
So she did.
- Did... Did you look for her?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I looked
for her for years.
She didn't want to be found.
-So you just gave up on her?
I tried everything...
I could.
I'll never forgive
myself, you know.
For that last day.
And that last fight. Ever.
She didn't hate you.
'Cause she told me.
I was being a brat one time.
And I told Mam that I hated her.
She knew I didn't mean it...
because she said it to
her mam all the time
and it was never true.
So she didn't hate you.
She loved you.
-Cara, quit leaving your shi...
What the hell?
- Give it to me.
-Are you f*cking
dealing for him again?
-No.
- Then why do you have them?
- I'm just minding them.
-Guys, have you
seen my hairbrush?
-You can't tell her.
You f*cking can't.
- Cara...
- Stop.
It's just this one
time, okay? I promise.
-Liam? Do you want
a lift to school?
- Morning.
- Morning.
-Uh, Jane wants us to
head back to the hotel
and close that theft, so,
um, can we take your car?
'Cause all the others are out.
-Yeah, of course. Um,
I'll just be a sec.
- Yeah, no worries.
- See you in a bit.
Patrick, morning.
- How are you?
- Good.
-So, he's gonna keep tabs
on the translator situation.
I know it's one for
organized crime,
but I just want to
keep my eye on it.
-Sure.
Why have you got a bag of
drugs in the boot of your car?
-Oh.
Oh, f*ck.
I found them.
- Where?
-In Stacey's room.
-sh*t.
And you didn't hand them in?
-I didn't know what
to do at first.
And if Stacey was dealing...
I didn't want the kids to know.
- If she was?
I mean, what do you
think she was doing?
Running a f*cking
medical clinic?
-Stacey was suspended for
a few jars of Tramadol.
This is Oxycodone, and it's
more than a few f*cking jars.
Siobhán, I don't think
Stacey k*lled herself.
I think Eoin Molony had
something to do with it.
-sh*t.
That...
That's why you threatened him?
- Yeah.
-Okay.
Okay, so just hand it
over to Organized Crime.
I mean, we're all
working in the same job.
-I have.
I need proof for them
to take me seriously.
And I think I'm getting close.
-sh*t.
sh*t!
Is that all you
can say is "sh*t"?
-f*cking hell. I mean...
Colette, this is
career-ending stuff.
-Yes, I know.
I know it is.
If you need to tell
Jane, I understand.
-Okay, so what are we gonna do?
- "We" aren't gonna do anything.
I am not getting you
involved in this.
-I'm already involved, Colette.
-Look. Like you said, this
is career-ending stuff.
I am not putting yours
at risk as well as mine.
-Yes, boss.
-Nice one, bro.
Oh! What the f*ck?
-Stay away from my sister!
-What the f*ck are
you talking about?!
-You've got her
dealing, you sh*t!
I don't know what the
f*ck you're talking about!
- Thanks so much.
-Thanks, Colette.
Are you all right?
-Yeah.
-I thought you two got on.
What happened?
-He was making a joke about Mam.
Saying she was a...
mentaller and a basket case.
I just snapped. I hit him.
-Yeah, well, I don't blame you.
But listen.
You can't solve problems
like this with your fists.
All right?
- What else am I supposed to do?
I just want to help her.
Mam asked me to help her.
It was the last
thing that she...
-Liam?
What do you mean?
- It's nothing.
-No, it's not nothing.
You can talk to me.
You know you can.
-Mam left me a voice message.
The night before she, uh...
She asked me to look after Cara.
-Would it be all right
if I listened to that?
-Sure.
-Liam, chick, it's Mum.
You have to take your sister
to Debbie's, all right?
I've arranged it.
Take a 20 from my
drawer for a take-away.
I just need to
sort something out.
Listen, your
sister... She might...
She might hear something
that'll get her upset.
You'll need to look after her.
And don't worry, Cara's
not done anything wrong.
She's not in trouble.
I love you, chick.
-Sweetheart, come here.
Come here. Come here.
Come here.
-Oh.
-I'll be all right if
you drop me off at home.
-Sorry, love. I don't have
time to make the detour.
You're gonna have to come hang
out with me at the station.
All right?
- Sure.
- This is Liam.
- Hey, Liam.
- Patrick. Siobhán.
- Hiya.
Uh, Colette, Hanna's here.
-sh*t.
-Liam, you fancy
being in a line-up?
The lads are all 6-foot-plus.
It'd be good to
have some variety.
- Can I?
- Yeah, of course you can.
-Good man. This way.
-Thank you.
Head, right?
-We know that she didn't do it.
Or at least, she was forced to.
-But my client
says she did do it.
On her own. And she confesses,
-Yes, I confess.
-They threatened you again.
-I stole.
Alone.
-We can help you if you let us.
There are things we
can do to support you.
But in the end,
it's your choice.
-No.
I stole. Alone.
-Okay.
-The DPP shouldn't have her
prosecuted. She's a victim.
-Yeah, but if she won't
testify to coercion,
she has no defense
against the theft.
She's more afraid
of the traffickers
than she is of prison.
It happens all the time.
-Oh, well, if it
happens all the time...
This is bullshit.
I mean, the victim
goes to prison
and the real scumbags
get off scot-free.
-Organized Crime will
put pressure on Elise
and the hotel manager,
so hopefully we will find
out who the traffickers are.
Then maybe Hanna will cooperate
with us in the future.
-It's still bullshit.
Sorry, Sarge.
-You did good work on this.
Both of you.
-Thanks, Sarge.
You're right.
Good night.
- Night.
-Thanks. I owe you one.
-Oh, don't worry about it.
Let him loose in
the lost and found.
-Ready to go?
-Yeah, sure.
-How was the line-up?
- Turns out I didn't do it.
-You, uh, catch the bad guys?
-We did catch someone.
But she wasn't a bad guy.
I can tell you one thing.
A lot of people would
be a lot better off
if they stopped f*cking lying.
-I didn't fight Ross
be... because of Mam.
It was because of Cara.
Ross has been dealing in school.
He's been making Cara help him.
She promised Mum
that she'd stop.
But I found drugs in
her bag this morning.
And like, pills and stuff.
-Thank you for telling me, Liam.
Do you know where
they are right now?
-What the f*ck?!
- Get in the f*cking car.
- What's wrong with you?
-Do not make me repeat myself,
Cara. Get in the f*cking car!
-f*cking b*tch.
-You listen to me,
you little sh*t.
If you go near her again,
you'll be f*cking sorry.
-Are you off your
meds or something?
What's your f*cking problem?
She's my girlfriend.
-My problem is
you deal in drugs.
My problem is you getting my
Cara involved in your sh*t.
-So what?
You'll turn me in?
A few months in lock-up?
Oh, I'm scared.
Besides, like you
said, Cara's involved.
-Let me be very clear with you.
Prison is not what you
need to worry about.
Do you understand?
You drive safe.
Cara?
-Dad?
Dad!
Oh, I missed you.
I really did. I'm back, love.
Oh, come here, son. Oh, Liam.
It's so good to see
you. It really is.
Ah!
