Aidan!
Aidan!
Look, I have enough on my plate
without another bollocking.
Just wanna make sure you'll
be at Bannon's Cove for two.
Didn't I say I would?
Shane's all right, in
case you're wondering.
I'm glad to hear it.
- That's it?
- What else do you want me to say?
We took a dead man, and we dropped
him in the sea, like waste.
It was an accident.
Yeah, it was just like getting hit
by a bus or falling down a drain.
And it wasn't your fault.
No.
It wasn't.
- Is his car gone?
- Yeah.
Sorted it first thing.
Feels very empty in here.
The equipment's
literally on the way.
It's another big day
for Kenny's Seafoods.
- Two, yeah?
- Yeah.
This isn't one of those
times you can be late.
Two o'clock, Bannon's
Cove. I've got it.
Lenny, I have a job for you.
I understand the pressure to
get things up and running.
Yes.
Yes, I know what we agreed,
but this is a new route,
and one load is safer
to transport than two.
It's one day's delay.
It's so negligible, it's
hardly worth discussing.
Last night went like clockwork,
and today will be no different.
One of those rare occasions where the
sequel's better than the original.
I'll be in touch.
Everything sorted
with Stockholm?
That's not your concern.
There any word on James?
No, but I've got eyes out.
Any more questions?
Good.
You know what to do.
Subtitles
Now, can you show me exactly
where you found this?
Sure, just over here.
Hey! Hey, can I help you?
Excuse me.
I said, can I help you there?
I tried to contact
your Sergeant Barry
this morning to tell
him I was coming.
He'll still be in his bed, and
you need to tell me who you are.
Inspector Tuva Pallson,
Swedish Police Authority.
Swedish NCID Europol.
We normally only get hot shots from
Dublin when it's something big.
Tried calling them too.
They were also in bed.
It's coke, I'd say,
probably through Spain.
It's methamphetamine.
Through the North Sea.
What's the nearest town
north on the coast?
Uh... Roskillane.
About 15 kilometers away.
Is there a local officer?
Uh-huh. A fellow named Egan.
Likes the quiet life.
I can help him get over that.
You mean "get rid get rid"?
Yep?
- How?
- I don't know.
Just go and get it crushed or
something, discreet though.
- Why do you wanna get rid...
- Didn't I say "no questions"?
For 60 grands' worth, I
could easily get you ten.
No, no, no, because
that'll cause
more trouble than 10
grand could ever fix.
Not a bother, man.
Leave it with me.
Right.
- 50 now and 50 after.
- Come on, Aidan.
Why you have to split it like
I'm some kind of reprobate?
You can come find me when
you want the rest of it.
Well, go on!
And don't tell Ciara!
Wouldn't dream of it, man.
- Where's Lenny?
- He'll be on his way.
He's a lad,
but you can't fault
him on a boat.
Playing decoy for us is gonna
be no big stretch for him.
Grab the outboard.
You're no use to anyone, Shane.
I'll be fine.
Well, being dosed is
no good to me either.
All I need to do is
stand at the wheel
and bring the Loveen back in.
Right.
Give it to me.
Here.
Don't worry about
Lenny, he'll be here.
Whoo-hoo!
Come on!
Wahoo!
- Aidan Kenny?
- That's it.
- There you are.
- What's this?
Your delivery.
No, it can't be.
I was expecting a grader, trimming
tables, ice machines, a hopper.
Check the docket.
This has got to be a mistake.
Supplier only sends
what you paid for.
The rest is sitting
in the warehouse.
Subtitles
How long will you be?
I told Aidan we'd
come see the unit.
What's the rush?
Oh, there's no rush.
You can't sit around
doing puzzles all day.
Stimulates the brain.
Well, I can handle that for ya.
Did the kids seem off
to you last night?
I don't know. Aidan, maybe.
Oh. Never Ciara.
Well, I'm just telling
you what I saw.
Did you help him out in the end?
I gave him a contact.
And after that, I...
I don't know.
Hey, here.
Is that you? I didn't
expect you back so soon.
There was a delay
in the delivery.
Staff shortages or
something, I don't know.
Why don't we leave early? We'll get
something to eat before the session.
It is the last one.
Aidan.
This is a necessary part
of the adoption process.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Education and preparation.
Jesus, it's like being back at St.
Chad's except all the teachers are sober.
I know you've got a
lot on at the moment.
It's a lot of stress.
Adamma, I haven't looked
at a horse in three years.
Anyway, look, I'd love to, but I
have to go over to Mam's, so...
Just call her from the car.
The signal's shite.
Only to Ballinafad.
Do you really wanna hear her
getting angry with the speakerphone?
Well...
if you're gonna turn
me down for a date...
Hey, listen, you
didn't say it was that.
Well, you'll be back to pick
me up at two, though, yeah?
No. The session's not till four.
No, they've moved
it forward to three.
We have to leave
the house at two.
I did tell you.
Yeah, you did, you did,
I know, that's fine.
Yeah, pick you up at two.
- Okay. I'll see you then.
- Yeah.
Hi, it's Ciara.
Leave us a message.
Eh, what's happening, Skip?
Where are ya? I've been
calling you nonstop.
Uh, I was just, uh...
You better not be headed out with
that old bollix Martin Nevins again.
No, not at all. Sure.
I'm already on my way to ya.
Want anything picking
up from the shops?
If you so much as consider
stopping at the shops,
I'll f*ck' beat the
head off you, Lenny.
Good afternoon.
If you're looking for
the tourist office,
Malone's pub is an excellent
source of information.
I'm Inspector Tuva Pallson,
Swedish Police Authority.
Several kilos of methamphetamine
just washed up near Sandy Point.
That's Sergeant Barry's
neck of the woods.
- This is the closest town on the coast.
- By three kilometers.
There's four more
equidistant after that.
The tides move south.
Roskillane is directly north.
This is the nearest port for
a trawler carrying that load.
Ireland doesn't have a
big problem with meth.
Not yet it doesn't.
You should probably be
flashing a badge or something,
so I know you're not
just talking shite.
Let's get you a
proper coffee, so.
We need to go.
If we miss the tides,
I'll not land the dinghy.
- Do you think I don't know that?
- I'm just sayin'.
I'm here!
Arrgh!
- Sorry I'm late. I ran all the way here.
- Shane.
I'd make it up with a hug,
but I have no deodorant on.
- What's going on with that?
- He can't get it to work.
And neither could you?
Line keeps dropping out.
- What happened to you?
- It's a long story.
Which none of us
have time to hear.
Oh! Everybody's in a
feckin' hurry today.
Okey-dokey.
Tricky little sods,
these nav units.
Especially if you don't
know what you're doin'.
What's the plan then, Skip?
Lay it on me while I'm
firing on all cylinders.
All right, I need you out
on your boat as a decoy.
Oh... it's a heap of sh*t.
And I need you to
take that with you.
Drive out to the mackerel
grounds off Larbour Point,
toot about for a
couple of hours.
All this for booze and ciggies?
- Bollocks.
- This is a bigger load than usual.
Bigger payday for ya.
How much we talkin'?
Double.
Double?
Happy days!
- All right, you too.
- Huh?
- I need you off the Loveen now.
- I'm not gettin' off.
I've not got time for an argument,
that leg makes you a total liability.
- You can't do this on your own.
- It's not safe!
- I've no use for a spare part.
- I'm not goin'.
Will you f*ck off, Shane?!
Subtitles
Decided not to go sailin', then?
Off.
Not a big coffee man meself.
I only really have
it in for visitors.
Do you get many of those?
Well, guards wanting
to fish, mainly.
Lots of tourists getting pissed.
The harbor's a big pull, like.
Do you think I could see tracking
logs for the local trawlers?
You would need to speak to
the harbormaster about that.
- What's their name?
- Padraig.
He died in 2007.
You could try the boat
skippers direct, I suppose.
They've all got nav units.
They're not the most open
of individuals, though,
when it comes to questions
or outsiders.
Sure I can handle it.
Aren't you having one?
I'll have one when I get back.
Where are you going?
Daily rounds: show my face, keep
the peace, that kind of thing.
Okay, I'll come with you.
I'd like to see the harbor...
No. Like, Adamma's grand.
Each stage comes with its own
stresses, obviously, but...
hasn't she got me in her corner?
Are you not cutting
it tight for two?
No, no, no, it's fine.
Gotta go pick Adamma
up after this.
How much do you need?
Not much.
A thousand do ya?
Any more would
take a bit of time.
No, no, no, a thousand's plenty.
You head on so, I'll
do you a transfer.
Aidan.
Looking forward
to the grand tour.
Uh, well...
there's been a delay
on a big delivery.
Staff shortages.
Like that's Aidan's fault.
Better be getting on.
- Thanks, Mam.
- Good luck with your workshop.
- Right. See ya.
- Slán.
Oh.
Subtitles
What about your man in the back?
We'll do them together,
like Quinn said.
All neat and tidy.
Waste of time me
sittin' here, isn't it?
We'll deal with them
together, like Quinn said.
Now, just wait till I get back,
if that's not too
difficult for ya.
Subtitles
It's a far cry from
neighborly quarrels
and stolen garden tools.
Hmm.
I wanted to see it for meself.
What, you didn't believe that
Swedish inspector I sent ya?
Oh, yeah, and thanks for that.
Thought you'd jump at the
chance for a little extra work.
Is that the right tone to be
taking to a senior officer?
Uh... no.
No, Sergeant.
Subtitles
Here you are.
Is this from a tin?
Yeah, it was. Heated
to perfection.
Aidan was in a rush.
Well, he's got a lot on.
He asked you for anything?
This and that.
The usual mother stuff.
I already helped him.
You did, but maybe not enough.
f*ck!
Subtitles
Hi. Can I get a taxi
to Saltill, please?
- She's here.
- So she's definitely made the pickup.
Yep. The bags are in the boat.
Good.
Want me to go down, give
her a hand bringing it up?
No. Let her take the risk
when it's out in the open.
Okay.
That tide's coming in fast.
She better get the drugs
off that beach soon.
What about her brother?
No sign of him.
And Evie?
She's with the deckhand,
waiting for us all to come back.
Let me know when it's done.
Copy.
Subtitles
Come on!
Get out!
Ugh! Gotcha!
Where the hell have you been?!
A total nightmare.
A lorry spilled its
load on the coast road,
and I had to come
in over the hills.
Look, I'm here now, okay?
Tell me you're not worried about
getting your feckin' shoes wet.
They're me best pair.
Definitely worth saving for a
grave in the Wicklow Mountains.
Nah, they're gonna get wrecked.
Will you stop moaning and
put your back into it?
Back to their headquarters.
f*ck this.
Is this what you're
like out in the boat?
God, I feel sorry for them.
- Who?
- Shane, Lenny...
I mean, anyone who you manage
to drag out there with ya.
I look after my crew.
I'm a good skipper.
Why? 'Cause you're good
at bullying people?
You've had plenty
of practice on me.
If I didn't, you'd still be sucking
your thumb and livin' with Mum.
Quick, get them
up. Get them up.
Subtitles
We gotta step. We gotta step to.
Come on.
- Come on, will ya?
- I'm comin'!
You, passenger seat now.
You, drive!
Come on, hurry up, hurry up!
- Drive.
- Yeah, which way?
Well, you can't go
that way. Back up.
Subtitles
Gimme the keys.
Out. You, out!
Out.
Out.
Move.
Move!
Evie?
Evie?
Evie?
Put the g*n down.
No.
You've got the keys.
Take the car and go.
No, they'll be back for us.
Look at what she's wearin'.
- We won't do anything.
- Won't they?
I heard you talking in the van,
you were gonna k*ll us all.
The drugs are yours.
Take them, there's nothing
more we can give ya.
It's Quinn.
Boss, there's been
a bit of bother.
I'm not on me own here.
What's going on? Talk to me.
We're all here now,
but Evie's f*cked up.
Has she, now?
Let me talk to Ciara.
What's happening?
Shane's got a g*n on your woman,
and your man's got his
g*n on me and Aidan.
Sounds like a
great bit of craic.
Paint me a picture.
What?
Set the scene.
Uh...
we're off the beach.
Bushes, rocks, hills.
That kind of thing.
What's the weather like?
Light breeze, rain comin'.
Can you hear the sea?
I suppose, yeah.
Sounds idyllic.
Bryan, sh**t them all.
Wait, wait!
Look, I've got a proposition.
This is Aidan, by the way.
- Aidan, I don't think this is...
- Just stop, for once!
Okay, listen, you've
seen the unit, right?
We can hold your product for you,
we can distribute it from there.
Do you think I've not
got that set up already?
I don't doubt that, but it's not going
to be as good as what I'm suggesting.
I have worked hard to build up contacts
in every port and market in Europe.
Whatever you've got to move, I can
bring it in and I can send it out.
So can I.
But our business is based on
decades of work with the boat.
We've built up trust, we've
built up a reputation,
and this is our USP from your
perspective, I really think so:
we are a hundred percent
totally legitimate.
Clean as you'll get.
It's all set up,
it's ready to go.
All you have to do is say yes!
Or you can say no and
this all kicks off.
Piles of bodies, stacks
of drugs out in the open,
all leading right back to you.
Okay.
Maybe there's an
arrangement we can make.
My two, leave the gear with them
and get back to Dublin, now.
Subtitles
That's from the lab, yeah.
It was definitely
meth that washed up.
Okay.
If I send you another
sample from Sweden,
would you be able
to compare the two?
Excellent. Okay.
I'll buy you a beer
when I'm next in Dublin.
Sure. And thank you again.
Does showing your face
usually take so long?
It's not just about being here,
it's the personal touch.
It's the essence
of rural policing.
Well...
- We survived.
- Barely.
Yeah, but they went for my
plan, though, didn't they?
How is that a good thing?
You walked away without
a b*llet in you.
- Well, you limped away.
- Am I supposed to thank you for that?
- Yes, you are, actually.
- Are you serious?
- This is all you...!
- It's not like we had a choice.
Any of us.
I'm tired.
Will you give me
a little credit?
- Can we talk about Aidan now?
- No.
Oh, go on, so.
Well, you don't need my
permission to spend our money.
Yeah, but when it
comes to Aidan...
- I'm just sayin'.
- I know what you're sayin'.
And I know what I'm doin'.
Okay?
Of course, okay.
Moira, Bjorn.
Ah, good evening, Francis.
Good evening.
This is one of yours, Swedish.
- Hello.
- I'm giving her a hand with a case.
Hi. Tuva.
Nice to meet you.
Bjorn. You too.
She's staying at Malone's
for a few nights.
Well, good luck.
Why don't you join us, for
a proper Roskillane welcome?
Ah, no, we need to be off.
Yeah.
- Yeah?
- See ya.
She's Swedish, so.
Yeah? Did you think
I was the only one?
Why would a Swedish policewoman
want help from Francis
Egan of all people?
Subtitles
I didn't think we
were doin' this.
I didn't think we'd be doin' a
lot of what we've done today.
Is it for me or is it
just the distraction?
Both.
Where were you?
Aidan.
I got held up at the unit.
Is that all you've got?
You know what this means to me.
You were held up at the unit.
Tell me the truth.
Now.
'Cause if you try and
spin some kind of story...
I was on my way.
I swear I was on my way.
I was on the outskirts of
Sawtill and I just pulled over.
Just sat there, just thinking.
Just going over everything
and just thinking, you know?
- I can't be a father.
- Aidan!
Like, this is not just gonna be
me and you, this is about a baby.
God willing we actually get one.
What are you talking about?
I just thought the unit was
gonna be the one, you know,
the one that was
actually gonna work.
There's no reason
why it shouldn't.
Well, what if it
doesn't, though?
- Like what if it goes under?
- And so what if it does?
- We will find a way.
- Would we?
Would we, though?
Because I don't know.
Aidan!
Seriously, this isn't...
I don't know how to be a dad!
Not a good one.
I never learned that.
You know, I never learned that.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
I'm not fit.
I'm just not fit.
You have a look
about you tonight.
Do I?
Yeah.
I've seen it before.
Like whenever we caught
a really big haul
that only you could have landed.
Aidan!
Aidan, I'm just after
my money, is all.
