J; We, the drowned J

J Hold our hollow-hearted ground J

J We know not the fire in which we burn J

J But we sing and we sing and we sing and we sing J

J Oh, we, the drowned J

J The lost and found out J

Oh!

Here you go.

Oh!

Oh, darling.

Bill?

Fia! What brings you over here?

Can we do this inside?

With clothes on.

And it's Detective Lucey, if you don't mind.

What can I do for you, Detective?

I just wanted to ask you a few questions.

What about?

About the events of 20 years ago.

Well, what has your personal tragedy got to do with me?

I actually meant Chloe Whelan's death.

But now that you mention it, it was pretty close in time

to what happened to my family, wasn't it?

I remember.

That must be why people said what they said.

About my father and Chloe?

Yeah.

But they're not saying that now, are they?

I mean, my father wasn't one to mess around with young girls.

He wasn't a sick fuck like that.

I mean, she was just... 16, 17.

And that's practically pedophilia.

Seventeen. Only just.

Funny how you remember that, just off the bat.

Were you close? If you're trying to imply

I somehow knew about her relationship

with Charlie Reid, I certainly didn't.

She didn't have a relationship with Charlie Reid.

Someone else was driving the car that night.

And you know that how exactly?

Evidence found. In the car.

Oh, well, if it's evidence,

there'll be no time at all until you've solved the mystery.

There was also a witness.

Whom?

My father. Jack.

Well, I'm no expert in Garda matters,

but what can a dead witness tell you?

Oh, the dead can be very informative, Bill.

But of course, you wouldn't know that,

not being versed in Garda matters.

Well, I'd love to hear more, but just the bullet points.

I'm starting to run a bit late.

I know.

I know what you did, Bill.

Did she reach for you as the car filled up with water?

Do you still hear her scream?

Really, Fia? Yeah.

Really?

Oh, I remember you as a child.

A real daddy's girl, always out on that boat.

I'd see from the shore. I envied Jack if I'm honest.

Envied that bond between father and child.

Of course, he envied what I had. There was no secret

he didn't like my plans for the distillery.

He lodged objections.

Would have said it was environmental concerns,

but it was just plain old jealousy.

I single-handedly dragged this town out of the muck

and into the future and made it into a place

that could hold its head up high, whereas Jack...

Jack couldn't stop looking down into the depths,

into the darkness. Everyone knew he wasn't well.

People were shocked but not surprised

when he did what he did.

Even if he was alive to say what he wanted against me,

nobody would believe him. So, whatever you think you know,

Fia, your theory has less than nothing going for it.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no...

you've been more helpful than you realize, Bill.

Yeah, maybe next time...

make an appointment.

Next time, I won't need one.

The only thing that links Bill to Chloe's death,

and therefore potentially to the events at the barn,

is Niamh's memory.

And whatever way you look at it, that's not proof.

Not after 20 years.

I know you know it's all circumstantial.

I know you're just trying to prove to yourself

that you're right. I am right.

I proved it to myself this morning

when I looked him in the eye.

You did what now?

I went to Bill's.

Why? I have a memory.

It would have been the night of Chloe's death.

Dad was in the barn, changing out of his wet clothes.

He had them draped over this clothesline I showed you.

Charlie must have been told to get rid of the clothes.

Charlie? Well, it was Charlie

who Bill went to for help after he crashed into the lake.

It stands to reason that...

It doesn't stand to any reason.

Charlie saying his car was stolen

to help Bill is one thing.

Committing out-and-out murder is another.

Why would Charlie Reid do such a thing for Bill McGuire?

I don't know. Yet.

How you feeling? Fine.

Just trying to keep my head straight.

Trying to keep things out of it.

So, you're going tonight?

Yeah.

Niamh, do you not think maybe you should...

It's not as simple as that, okay?

I'm just...

What the fuck is so important it couldn't wait?

Ah, Niamh, you're here. Great.

I could really do with some space.

Charlie had a history of check fraud.

Kicked out of three separate jobs for the same scam.

Checks? When was this?

Late '90s. So?

So, explain to me how a degenerate loser like him

ended up with a share in a prosperous business?

I checked his credit history this morning.

It's a complete joke.

Carrie told me that Charlie and Raisin

had done some sort of deal back in the day.

A deal that involved killing your family?

Can you prove it?

I need a little peek at someone's accounts first.

House alarm: System arming.

House alarm: System unset.

Deirdre. Bill. Hi.

Niamh. And Cian.

It's so lovely to see you both out.

We'll leave you both to it.

Ah, Oh, no, no.

Sit down, please. Yeah. Join us.

Go on then. Go on, sit down, yeah.

What you having, Bill?

I'll have a pint.

Will you have another, Bill?

Yeah, go on.

Better drain the spuds, though.

Bill...

I don't know what I'm going to do with that man.

I think you should run that loyalty scheme past Bill.

He can only say no.

Everything okay?

Yeah, just the babysitter.

Jesus.

Hello?

Charlie bought the restaurant

two days after your family were killed.

The same amount was moved from an account the day before.

Bill paid Charlie the money to buy the restaurant.

Yeah. And look at this.

Charlie wasn't the only one to get a shot at a future

he didn't deserve.

Roisin Hurley.

Same setup. Jesus.

Charlie must have told Roisin what he did.

So what,

she blackmailed Bill into giving her a share of the hotel?

Yeah, but look at the date.

She was paid first.

She didn't just hear about what he did.

She was in on it.

When Roisin told Charlie it's all coming out,

she wasn't talking about the girls, was she?

But none of this is gonna stand up in court.

Everything's inadmissible.

Even without all the accounting chicanery.

I'd still have to explain

where we got all this information from.

Fia, Bill knows how to cover his tracks.

That man plans ahead.

What if there was one time he just couldn't?

One time he just had to act fast?

See, I don't believe Charlie killed Raisin.

I mean, ultimately, he was just a coward.

A sick, slimy bastard who preyed on young girls.

I mean, Rdisin's wounds...

there was something else.

It was real anger.

And that was rage.

Bill?

Webster? Hey, Lucey.

Supe wants to talk to you

about the chat you had with Bill McGuire.

You had no authority to go to his house like that.

Bill McGuire is guilty, sir. There is reams of evidence.

There is circumstantial nothing!

Look, it would be negligent to ignore it.

Is this how you were in Dublin?

Deciding for yourself what's the law and what's not?

You accused the man of murder. Multiple murders!

He didn't personally carry those out.

He's too clever for that. That's how he's been able

to get away with it all these years.

Can you even hear yourself? You have nothing that says

he had a part in Chloe Whelan's death.

Less than nothing that he had anything to do with what...

what happened to your family, and yet you see all this

as evidence that he's hiding something.

Did it never occur to you that the reason there's no evidence

is because he's not guilty? He's been able

to cover his tracks in the past, but in Risin Hurley's case...

Roisin Hurley was killed by Charlie Reid.

The case is closed. It isn't, sir.

I've requested that we hold it.

You what? At least until we examine...

I was with him!

When? The night of the...

Friends of Blackwater thing. The night Réisin Hurley died.

He invited me back to his house,

and we opened a bottle of the 20 years reserve.

It was light by the time I left.

Bill McGuire didn't go anywhere that night.

And as far as I'm concerned, you can get out of this office,

get into that squad car,

and go out and do some proper police work!

Now, get out!

I've never seen him like that before.

I've seen it before.

Where?

Interrogation rooms.

When you're closing in on them, they go spare.

He was scared.

He doesn't want me anywhere near Bill.

Because to get near Bill is to get near him.

Ah, come on.

I did say you mightn't like the truth.

The truth? Don't take this out on me.

I'm on this shit list, too, because of you.

And I've a family to support, remember that.

Christ! Shanahan's involved, is he?

Do you know how ludicrous that sounds?

It's not ludicrous.

There had to have been Garda collusion.

I need to get my hands on the coroner's report at the time.

You don't need to do that.

When I recused myself from the investigation,

it was Shanahan who took over.

See ya. Yeah.

I'll be back at the station.

Why didn't you tell me, Donal?

I didn't think he did much more than sign the paperwork.

He's not a good guard.

Lazy, that's all.

If I told you it was him, what would you have done?

I would have confronted him.

What, like you confronted Bill?

How did that go?

You moved too soon, Fia.

Bill knows he's in your sights.

If there were any loose ends,

he'd be damn sure he's tied them up now.

Are you heading back to the station this evening?

Shanahan's given me the day off.

Well, Sandra's out at one of her classes.

Do you fancy having a spot of dinner with me?

That'd be nice. Wait, not till I see,

Sandra might have left something in the freezer.

Hey! Hi, Emma.

I'll be out in a minute.

Mam says he's not sleeping.

Night terrors.

She thinks it's connected to something you're working on.

Is it?

You know, I knew he recused himself for a reason.

It was stupid of me to think that reason might have changed.

I'm sorry.

I think Bill ordered my family's murder.

I think it was him in the car with Chloe.

Jesus, Fia.

That's what you have Dad helping you with?

He'd do anything for you. You do know that, don't you?

Yeah.

Niamh?

What if Bill finds out what we did?

What I did?

He won't.

Fia knows what she's doing.

I'm finding it hard, Cian.

Being around him, knowing what I know now.

But what can I do?

You could leave.

So, what time did you leave last night?

I left at 5:30.

And when you left, you set the alarm

and double-locked the door?

Yes, I definitely locked the door, and then I set the alarm.

Bill, hi, um, we need these signed off ASAP.

You'll need your coat.

Come with me.

Hi, this is Garda Cian Furlong.

Please leave a message.

Hey, Cian, I'm on my way to the coroner's

to see if they have any of the old records on file.

If you want access to my father's official records,

you're going to need to go through the proper channels.

Yeah, look,

kind of hoping you'd be able to do that for me, you know.

Your name carries more weight.

You mean my name isn't your name?

What are you so worried about anyway?

I'm sure you've a legitimate reason to want to see them.

Yeah, tell that to Shanahan.

Sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

No, my father was never Shanahan's biggest fan.

But Dad was a professor at the College of Surgeons,

and he mentored a student there at the time.

Kind of sheltered bloke,

said grace before meals when he came round.

Anyway, they kept in touch. And years later,

when that man's daughter went missing,

and the Gardai weren't doing much, Dad tried to help.

He spoke to the investigating officer at the time,

tried to get him to keep the search going,

but he shut it down. Hang on.

You're talking about James Whelan, Dr. Whelan?

Shanahan was the investigating officer

in charge of Chloe Whelan's disappearance?

And he shut it down?

Jesus Christ.

I can't help you access the files,

but Dad had a habit of making notes.

If you can drop by my place later,

you can have a look, see what's in storage.

Yeah, I will.

Thank you.

Where's your mum? I don't know.

What happened today?

I couldn't reach you.

Bill took me out to lunch to talk.

He offered me a co-director position, Cian.

That's not a raise, that's three times my salary.

Better benefits. Scope to go much higher.

Niamh, that's just what he does.

He keeps his enemies close. He keeps them in his debt

so they depend on him... Yeah, but don't you know

what a job like that could mean for us, Cian?

For the boys?

What did you say?

That I'd have to think about it.

He laughed at that. He said it was important you were informed.

Make you feel like you're a part of the decision.

Resign.

Resign? But what about everything?

We need two salaries. I'll do all the overtime I can.

I'll get another job, whatever. We'll manage like we always do.

That's easier said than done, Cian.

Look, you're trustworthy, you're talented, you're honest.

You'll find something else, anything else.

No, we don't know that. Listen, you don't need him.

But I need you.

Okay.

Was there any correspondence from that time?

E-mails? Letters?

Anything the investigating officer

would have put in writing?

Is there any official statement for his reasoning

for calling off the search?

You think he was remiss in his duties?

I can't say that.

But you think he should have known

that if he hadn't shut down the case,

he would have caught Charlie Reid earlier?

I can't say that, either. Look, I'm just...

It wasn't Shanahan's fault he didn't suspect Charlie Reed.

Nobody would ever have thought Chloe was seeing him.

She was a good girl, and she'd still be with us

if it wasn't for the damned vanity of others.

Let me see you out.

Dr. Whelan?

What did she mean, others?

She was talking about me.

At the time, your mother,

she was coming to church with her sister.

They were praying for Emma,

that the cancer would go. And God forgive me,

I saw an opportunity in their desperation.

You hoped Chloe would encourage our family

into your church group?

I wanted to bring you all into the light.

But instead...

...I allowed demons to gain access to Chloe.

She used the freedom I gave her

to be with the likes of Charlie Reid,

or perhaps another just like him.

I heard on the grapevine you visited the McGuire house.

You questioned Bill, didn't you?

Dr. Whelan, I have no proof.

No evidence at all.

Tread carefully, Fia.

This town won't hear a bad word said against Bill McGuire.

There's not a soul in the parish

that doesn't owe him a favor for a good deed of some sort.

I mean, you yourself must know that.

What did Bill McGuire ever do for me?

Well, not you exactly, but...

You don't know?

Hiya.

I'm so sorry to come here so late.

No, come on in. It's freezing.

Thanks. Yeah.

All of Dad's stuff is down here in the basement.

He was a coroner for 40 years,

so there's loads of boxes.

I'll leave you to it?

Yeah.

Let me know if you need anything.

Right. Thanks.

This might have to wait for another day.

Just have an early start in the morning.

These... These look like originals.

Yeah, duplicates, maybe.

I mean, he would have photocopied stuff

if he wanted to revisit it later.

Have you found what you wanted?

You never recused yourself from the case.

I did. Only after you signed off

on the coroner's report. Why?

You knew that when Shanahan took over,

that would never see the light of day again.

Why did you want to bury it, Donal?

Fia, I had no choice.

Because Bill paid for Emma's cancer treatment?

Yes. But how?

How could you let everyone think

my father murdered his wife and son?

How could you let me think that?

Emma's treatment had only just started.

For the first time, I allowed myself to believe

that we were going to get to keep her.

If Bill went to jail, it would have stopped.

She'd have died, Fia.

And God knows it wouldn't have been an easy death.

Can you imagine what that would have been like for my daughter?

My mother, my brother, my dad.

Your best friend? What about them?

Fia, they were dead when I got there.

Nothing I could have done would have changed that.

I had one choice that night,

to let Emma live or to let Emma die.

Bill?

Bill called me, saying there'd been an accident.

Charlie and Roisin had been sent to persuade Jack,

to forget he pulled Bill McGuire from the lake,

to never mention anything about that night to anyone.

I think they just meant to rough him up

to make sure he kept quiet.

Actually, we'll blow your face off.

But something went wrong. Dad?

Elizabeth and Aiden came back to the house.

And they must have panicked.

Aiden?

[Muffled] No! No, no!

They were gone when I got there.

I did what had to be done.

I've been carrying this, the weight of it, for too long.

Fia, I'm not asking you to keep this secret.

I wouldn't do that to you.

I just need you to know why I did what I did.

Jack would have done the same.

He would have done the same to save you.

He didn't come home last night.

Look, I'm late for work. I need to see Cian.

Yourself and Donal, you're at odds with each other.

Did he talk to you?

He said nothing.

Don't be too hard on him, Fia.

You weren't there. What he saw...

it haunts him, his failure.

His failure?

To see the signs...

that Jack was so unwell.

I need to go.

Please come tonight.

Be at Emma's party?

You're cousins, but I know she thinks of you as a sister.

Like your mam was to me.

I need to go.

Any luck with the coroner?

Hmm? You were going to ask her

if she could access her dad's records for you.

Oh, right, yeah. She didn't.

Shit. So nothing?

Well, I got his notes, but they, er...

Anything in there? No.

I mean, the records aren't going to show us anything anyway.

Well, what if Shanahan signed off and...

He didn't. And even if he did,

it's not going to bring us any closer to Bill,

and that's the only person who we should be on.

Yeah, but we tried to get closer, we couldn't.

Yeah, I know.

So, what, we just give up?

Great. Now I don't know what we're doing here.

Nothing's going to change if you just sit on this.

We've got to see it through.

We're in this now, Fia.

Here he is.

Cheer up. It's not a funeral.

It's a surprise birthday party.

Fia! I've been calling you all day.

Sorry.

We're gonna go. Are you ready?

No. Thank God you said that.

Look, I need to get showered up.

Why don't you go ahead? I'll be right behind you.

Okay. I'll see you there.

Come on. Hup.

I'm gonna show my face in the pub,

but I'm leaving for Dublin tonight.

I do love you, you know.

J Will somebody wear me to the fair?

J To the morning sing a lovely flower J

J Will a lady pin me in her hair? J

Well, she didn't sink anyhow.

What do you mean?

The Lady Elizabeth.

I called into Jack's old boathouse,

and I saw that you had taken her out.

After all this time.

You're taking your life in your hands.

Going out without a proper check-up.

But I didn't, Fergus.

Ah, come on. Who else would have taken her out?

Excuse me, everybody.

Can I have your attention, please?

Thank you, Victoria, for the gorgeous cake.

Oh. Where's Donal?

J If he looks within &

J He finds beauty and power &

J Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people &

J; Everywhere that the flower has come J

I thought you were in Dublin.

I've called forensics to Dad's old boat.

They'll be checking your car, too.

We both know what they're gonna find there, Donal, don't we?

She killed your family. I did it...

Don't you dare say you did this for me!

You murdered her to protect yourself!

So that no one would find out...

...you covered up my family's slaughter!

Fia, please.

Who the fuck are you?

Okay.

Raisin came here.

She told me what Charlie had done to her daughter.

He's lying there on top of her like some kind of filthy animal.

I don't care what happens to me.

I've spent my entire life

running from what I did that night.

Now, I stood by when all those girls were hurt.

I'm going to tell the guards everything.

I want everyone to know who Bill and Charlie truly are.

After I talk, he won't have anything over me.

No, Raisin, you can't do that.

Raisin: You're a victim, Donal.

I know how Bill dragged you into this.

But if we do this together, people will understand.

People will understand, Donal.

Will you help me finish this?

Thank you.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

You murdered her just to cover up your filthy secret.

I had no choice.

Dad?

Emma, go back to bed. This isn't...

What is she saying you covered up?

What did you do? Tell them!

What did you do?

Why don't you tell them, Donal?!

Emma, I'm so sorry.

I only did it to save you.

Risin was going to tell them everything.

She came here that morning.

Fia!

Fia?

Here.

I'm sorry.

Stop, will you?

I didn't know.

I never thought to ask how they paid for the treatment.

Even if I did, I could never have known.

You were just a kid.

So were you.

But it was taken away from you.

Your life. Your family.

Please, Fia.

Don't take away mine.

You know what it's like to lose the people you love.

You know! Emma.

What he did was wrong, but he did it to save me.

Killing Raisin wasn't about you. It was about him.

He killed the woman who murdered your family.

You want to destroy him, us, for that?

Fia, you should be thanking him.

Roisin Hurley was a fucking monster!

He's the fucking monster!

He killed Roisin because she wanted to come clean.

He's let me live in agony for the past 20 years.

If that's how you feel, then go.

Just... Just go away. No.

This can't be buried again.

It can, Fia.

We love you, Fia.

We are your family.

Family?

Oh, Fia!

Fia, please!

Donal Riley, I'm arresting you for the murder of Réisin Hurley.

No. Fia, I raised you.

So did he. You cannot ignore that.

You do this, you will be on your own again.

I've always been on my own.

Please don't take him away.

Please, Fia!

Fia, please!

Any word from McGuire?

He'll be brought in, but without Donal's cooperation,

it'll be your word against... Yeah.

The biggest, most beloved employer in the region.

I heard.

Yeah, time has a habit of bringing things to the surface.

Yeah.

I'll be waiting.

Watching.

So will I.

J; We, the drowned J

J The lost and found out J

J Weare all &

J Finished again J

J Again J
