Original subtitles

Maureen, I'm Miles Carrick. You're very welcome to the team.

Thank you. Do you believe he killed himself?

If he was going to kill himself, he'd have used pills.

The last thing he'd have done is put a gun in his mouth and blow that handsome

head away.

Too much diving.

I don't care where it was found.

It was found. That's all I need to know.

What are you doing here?

Maureen, whatever's on this disc is getting people killed.

What?

My sister's been kept there, I know it for a fact.

Maybe you should come with me, Nina.

Different companies, all incorporated in a sequence.

All depositing the same figure into the same account.

Two people dead.

We have Nina Kupreka with us, and we've just identified the body of her sister.

Oh, my God.

I promised our parents I would always look after her.

I was just trying to find her and help her.

There's two envelopes on my desk. I need it to post right away when you go back

to the office. Don't forget, okay?

Well done.

Hello?

Fork, it's Terry Corcoran.

I'm working on something I'd like to talk to you about.

What's it about, Terry?

Well, I'm not sure, but it's putting someone's nose at a joint in a big way.

I've got information in my possession over which two people have been killed.

And yesterday, someone took a shot at me. He wasn't trying to scare me, he was

trying to kill me.

I might need some help on this.

Is it airtight, Terry?

Come on, is a journalist being shot at not enough anymore?

I was hoping... Terry, put the piece together and make sure it's airtight,

come and see me, OK?

Yeah, OK.

Siobhan!

Will you wait?

Hello? No, Terry, where are you? I'd like to talk to you.

I'm at home. Why don't you drop over? Yeah, OK. I'll see you then. I've got to

go.

Do you sleep all right?

Irish whiskey is great on aesthetic.

I feel like shit.

Yeah, it has that effect on people.

Here, have some water.

For a moment when I woke up, I thought I'd dreamt everything that happened

yesterday.

I can't make any sense of it.

She's all that I've been thinking of for so long, and now she's gone.

There we are.

I'll get us some coffee.

I mean, it looks like it's a real time of change. I mean, what's the atmosphere

like in Bolaire at the moment?

Depends on what side of the house you're sitting on. One side is really

electric, but on the other side, it has to be said, it's pretty funereal.

What does Miles Carrick have to do not to become Taoiseach?

Well, your guess is as good as mine. You know, politics never can tell. And, of

course, the only poll that counts is the poll.

Excellent. Caution and reality.

The predicted landslide victory of the Social Democrats is smaller than

expected. In the final hours of polling, Fergal McCann of the National Party

closed the gap on Miles Parrish. But our latest opinion poll puts Parrish six

points ahead.

Andrew, it's me.

Look, they seem to be taking our line about being more cautious, so if nothing

else, it should at least get our vote out.

All right, I'm on the mobile if you want me. Bye.

Everything all right?

Yeah, why?

Last night, Terry... Terry, way down my list of priorities.

Good luck.

Terry, I need to go and see the pathologist today.

I know. At a time like this, though, I don't think you should be on your own. I

can help you with the paperwork for Danita later on. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Why

we in such a hurry?

Because in any relationship, it's never too early to meet the family.

We're not having a relationship.

I know. I keep telling my sister that, but she just won't listen.

Yeah, just Dad being Dad.

Hi, you must be Nina. Hi, nice to meet you.

I hope I'm not imposing.

You're not.

It's fine.

Is Noel inside?

Yeah. I won't be long.

I don't suppose Terry's made you breakfast.

It's okay. I don't think I can eat anything.

Come and have a tea.

Dad!

Oh, Dad, this isn't the bathroom.

Sorry, Kay. I didn't realise.

No, Dad.

That's the trouble.

All right.

I'll take him.

Thanks.

I'm sorry about that. He's not reading himself today.

The paper is terrible.

Yeah, I know. Never believe a word you're reading. No, you need to know

left them in the top drawer.

That's good. Good.

You hear me now? The paper is terrible. I do. Now, listen, you have to wear your

trousers. Not every woman wants to see a gorgeous life. You're a good son,

Terry. Yeah, it's a shame I couldn't be a good father, like you.

You'll be all right.

Don't you worry.

It's nearly home and dry.

Good.

We did the final day planning nearly a year ago.

We don't like surprises, Maureen, and we've spent considerable time and money

making sure we don't get them. This is good.

Right, I think I should concentrate on final day soundbites.

If the opposition get desperate, they'll stop throwing anything they can at us

to make it stick.

No.

I want you to concentrate on tomorrow morning.

I want you to bend the ear of every picture, editor, news editor or sub

that God taught to walk.

Tomorrow morning, before the electorate make their uninfluenced choice, I want

them reassured over their conflicts by happy, smiley, baby -kissing, glad

-handing, tooth -grinning, hand -waving, in -depth reporting photojournalism.

I don't care what they write because half the electorate can't read anyway,

what I want them to see is a man that they can trust with their grandmother,

Miles Carrick.

And then they'll go out and vote for him.

So

what do you want

me to say? I want to know what's going on.

You know this world, you know the dodges, the scams.

Scams. Avoiding tax is legal, Perry.

Evasion isn't. I advise my clients not to minimize... Yeah, yeah, I know.

I know.

Can you tell me why these companies are holding 5 ,078 euros, 94 cents exactly?

Well, I don't know why, but I know what the amount means. The amount of money a

company can donate to a political party without declaring it.

It's possible that these companies were set up solely for that aim in mind.

To fund a party?

Flush fund? It's legal. It happens all the time. You're a player. You want to

make a donation, but you don't want anyone to know.

So you set up these companies to donate the exact amount you don't have to

declare. No one knows, so you retain your impartiality in the eyes of your

peers. I've known it to happen with over 200 companies to donate a million

euros.

How many of these companies are there here?

Over 5 ,000.

All with the same amount?

5 ,078 euros, 94 cents exactly.

25 million euros.

One hell of a party.

Where did you get this?

It's best you don't know.

Well, thanks a lot. And you bring this here. Which party?

It's got to be the Social Democrats.

Carrick is everywhere.

Carrick? I was going to vote for him.

You and half the country.

Two people were killed because they had this information.

I understand perfectly your wishes to take your sister's body out of Ireland.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

Why? What's the problem?

Well, there are many.

Firstly, there's the post -mortem.

Then we open the inquest.

But the problem you face is we don't know if she's your sister.

All bodies have to be formally identified.

I identified her.

Indeed you did.

But in this case, she has no passport or formal identification of her own.

But she's my sister.

Oh, you see, I have no reason to doubt you.

But we can't release bodies to anyone who wants to lay claim.

We need proof.

She could be anybody.

Do you really think that I would come all the way from Denmark to your country

to take away the body of a stranger?

No, of course not. But therein lies another problem. The Danish authorities.

Other countries are very reluctant to accept bodies that haven't been formally

identified.

But she's dead.

She's not going to live anywhere.

No, I know.

They don't make it hard enough for you in your life. They make it even harder

when you're dead.

This is not right.

I just want to take my sister home and bury her.

It's not her fault she was murdered in your country with no papers.

No, I know.

It makes them more of a victim.

I knew it.

I was right. It is them.

Do you know this bank? Yes, I do. It's a private bank. What do you mean,

private? Well, what do you think I mean? It's open to the public. It's private.

Members only. The government set up tax breaks to encourage them in.

That IFSC address is not a branch.

It's an office.

Can you dig around for me?

Jesus, I don't know about this, Terry.

Come on, Noel. It's all at your fingertips. Anything you can find.

You said yourself people have died.

You're not wrong.

The book died.

I'm going to find out who owns this desk.

Ah,

Mr Corgrim.

Haven't seen you for a while.

What can I do for you?

A fancy shave.

You know, a proper shave. You still do that, do you?

Yes, of course.

Well, that's what I want.

Let me take your coat. Thank you.

Get me fired for this.

Hey, will an extra 20 take away some of the worries? Jesus, I'm not here.

I've got nothing to come with.

If anyone asked, you blagged your way in, all right?

Yeah. Yeah, there'll be MW.

And this is where I leave you alone.

Neumann? Yeah, the car Kelly was killed in was hired to a guy called Neumann.

I suppose it was his laptop that was stolen. I'm just wondering if that means

anything, Neumann. Sounds like a German name.

Terry, listen to me. Klaus Neumann is the head of the Mider Bank.

Mider Bank are obviously controlling these transactions.

Do you hear me?

Yeah, yeah, I heard you.

I can't be of any more help to you.

Oh, it's too late now. Even Frankfurt doesn't like me.

Mr. Neumann.

Mr. Neumann, Terry Corker, a journalist.

I'd like to ask you about your car and your laptop.

I have nothing to say. Did you know that your car is in a police compound with

blood all over the seats?

Conor Kelly was shot dead in it.

And Frank Erskine's apparently committed suicide.

All because they both had your laptop!

Do you have anything to say?

one, all right?

Monkey.

There's no way, Terry.

That's confidential client information.

So was the last sack of hit you sold me.

You told me that was cast iron. I wrote it up. The paper got sued to kingdom

come. Yeah, but it was true.

They just shredded the proof to protect their arse. It's too late for that. I

was fired.

You owe me.

All I'm asking for is a list of the minor banks' clients. How difficult can

be? You're their auditors.

Just go back in, print out the list, leave it at reception. I'll pick it up

ten minutes.

Well, the whole area of the journalist was yours, and are we absolutely certain

that he's going to agree to what we've asked for? Well, he hasn't really agreed

to it. The company's agreed to it. We've got to give him the list of questions.

We've got assurances. We've got to stick to the questions.

And he is going to change his face on Friday night?

Yeah. Will it be serious enough for us?

I personally don't think it can get any more serious than that much, but at the

end of the day, it's your call.

O 'Hara. Is there something you haven't told me, Andrew?

I thought we'd agreed that you weren't going to call me on this line. I wasn't,

but I've had a journalist here.

He doorstepped me with all sorts of allegations.

Who was he? He said his name was Harry Cochran.

Corcoran, um... Klaus, you have nothing to worry about. He's a nobody.

I'm not.

I'm worried about what he had to say and what he might write.

And if something can be proved, you will need to act.

He's a loose cannon.

He has a reputation for factual inaccuracy that's well known to the High

Well, I hope you're right.

Okay, sure. Just remember, we had trouble before in Holland with Fortune.

I don't want a repeat performance.

Klaus... Trust me, okay? You have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Look, um, let me call you later, okay?

All right.

Shit.

Hey, where are you?

Can you meet me in a half an hour at the Waterside Cafe?

Sorry I'm late.

It's good to see you.

How'd it go this morning?

I tried to train my sister's body, and no one will let me.

They won't even let me see her again.

I wanted to brush her hair, to give her some decent clothes, to

clean her up again, you know?

I can't let...

Those men leave their marks on her.

I wish there was something I could do.

Nina, do you remember when we were in the club in Vida and you took that

card swiper?

Do you remember the name of the company that was debiting the cards?

You don't have to pretend you're interested.

I am interested.

Do you remember?

Endigo, I think?

Endigo Entertainment.

Yeah?

Why?

What do you know?

Terry Corcoran for Porrick Phelan.

I've tried his mobile. He's not answering. Look, I need to speak to him.

urgent. He's expecting my call.

Well, where is he?

Obviously, everything I've said here is off the record. It's intended as

background only for your article the morning after Miles Carrick was elected.

Nobody's voted yet, Maureen. Since when did you speak for the nation?

I'm glad to see you've still got your head in the sand there, Porrick.

After the election, what Miles is hoping for is a more open dialogue.

He wants to modernise the way politics relates to the people, his people, your

people, your readers.

So to that end, we will be straight with you if you'll be straight with us.

Oh, pass me that sick bag. That'll be a new one. Come on now, Beatrice. You know

as well as I do, it's been cloak and dagger warfare for the last years.

Of course it has. That's the way it is.

It doesn't have to be that way.

We're not in the business of being propagandists.

And I'm not asking you to be. You're saying that at the first whiff of

everyone will come clean, hold up their hands and say, it's a fair cop, we're

terribly sorry, bollocks they will, Carrick or no Carrick. That's only

you lot act like you're possessed.

Maureen, you tell your people it's never the scandal that brings people down,

it's the cover -up of the scandal.

Which is exactly why Miles Carrick is going to be the toughest tea -suck on

sleaze that we've had for years.

Of course he wants the press to be critical. It's your role in a healthy

democracy. But it's got to be objective.

It's got to be fair.

As opposed to wrong.

Would have thought you'd been dragged through enough law courts to know that.

OK, essentially, we're seeing this as an opportunity to shake off the shackles

of the past, the bribes, the corruption.

We want to be open, dynamic, forward -thinking, and above all, honest.

Honest with ourselves, honest with the people. I'll drink to that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.

No, of course you didn't. Can I help you?

No, you can't.

Porik, could I have a moment?

Could you give us 15 minutes? We're almost done here.

Yeah, sure.

Sorry about that.

Where were we?

That was a fucking stupid stroke to pull.

Everyone thinks you're an idiot already. What are you trying to do, confirm it

for them? I had to speak to you. Try the office. I have a phone and a secretary.

It's what they're there for. I can't talk to anyone else about this. It's too

big. It's for your ears only.

Okay, I'm listening.

What is it?

This country is about to elect a man whose campaign has been funded on the

of human tragedy and murder.

Derek. Yeah.

That's a hell of an allegation. It's a hell of a story.

Can you back it up?

Oh, yes.

Get in.

Kenny. Michael.

Siobhan.

Did someone get the legal team?

The discs show the creation of just over 5 ,000 companies, some of whom list

Andrew O 'Hara as director.

Their bank accounts all contain 5 ,078 euros and 94 cents.

That's the amount you can donate to a political party without having to

it. In total, it's over 25 million euros.

The money all comes from one source, Mitre Bank.

One of their clients is Endigo Entertainment, the owners of Club Vida,

-dancing emporium that imports its working girls illegally from Albania and

Eastern Europe. One of those girls was found murdered up in the mountains

yesterday.

The deaths of two other men in mysterious circumstances are directly

this story or its discovery.

Has anyone ever brought down a government before it's been elected?

What do we think? You have to make every link of the chain stick. Can you prove

that money came directly from Endigo Entertainment and into one of these

companies? What, this isn't big enough?

Not for an allegation this size. Watergate wasn't exposed in one story.

It might be better to break it down.

Smaller stories.

Each one smoking them out.

Klaus Neumann hired this car.

The laptop containing the disc was in it.

Connor Kelly was shot in it.

If you don't believe me, go down to the police compound.

It's not that we don't believe you.

We have to make sure this isn't just a coincidence.

Then check this out. Look at the figures. Do the sums.

It all adds up to the same thing.

Carrick stinks, and we're about to elect him as Taoiseach.

Election morning front page.

Anyone else think of a better way to start the day?

Write it up.

But we'd hold it back for the second edition.

I'm not going to have the other bastards taking this office.

Kenny.

Give me a story on the first edition front page I can pull. Siobhan, get him

up on a computer in here.

And remember, this is for this room only.

Okay, that's it.

I'm going to have to hold on to that.

Liam, can I have a word?

Anita, I asked you this morning if you were free and you said it wasn't a

problem.

No, I know your mother's to go to the doctor.

This is pointless. Are you still free for this evening?

Right, well, that's something. Thanks.

Maureen, don't forget, you, me and Miles.

No, no, I haven't forgotten.

Larry, it's me.

Listen, Anita just let me down and picked me all up from school.

Doesn't matter why, she just has.

How are you fixed?

Well, normally it wouldn't be a problem, but we're up to our eyes with Poland

here, and right now I'm not sure that I can get away either.

Not to worry.

Don't worry. I'll sort it out. Thanks. Bye.

Maureen, light of my life.

What can I do for you?

Terry, mark me a favor.

Well, I'm kind of busy right now.

Really? I thought local journalism only had weekly deadlines.

Yeah, well, we're doing a special on a new garden centre this week.

Look, perhaps I'm misunderstood, but I thought you were telling me last night

that you wanted to be a better father.

Orla needs collecting from school this afternoon.

Orla?

Yeah, OK, I'll do it.

3 .30?

You'll be there now?

No, I said I'll be there. I'll be there.

By the way, how's the campaign going?

Oh, do you care?

You're right. I don't.

Bye.

Bernie, if anyone asks me, tell them I'm going out with Andrew and Maya.

Yeah, okay.

That was a grand day, thank God.

Managed to get most of your things dry.

Thanks.

But I know I'm not the easiest.

For God's sake, you're my dad.

It's nothing.

Maybe, but you need to know how much I appreciate it.

Have you shaved?

Oh, yeah, I had it all done down in Billy Goodley's.

You doing something special tonight?

I like to look my best.

Oh, you do?

I love you.

There's no need for the sweet talk.

I'll tell you, Ronnie.

Hey.

Hiya. Hi. How was school? Great.

Daddy, what are you doing here?

Hey, darling.

What's going on?

What does it look like? I was asked to pick her up.

Yeah, and you're late.

Well, I'm here now.

Don't be an arse.

Maureen asked me to pick her up. I couldn't, then I could.

She's my daughter. I'm taking her home.

You frightened her.

You know her better than I do.

Uncle Larry.

It's all right. Daddy's going to take you home.

But I'll be there.

I'm waiting.

So how was school today?

Uncle Larry already asked me that question.

Come on. Out.

Follow me. Out. Come on.

Come on.

Out.

Get in there.

Come on. Follow me.

Move. Come on. Get in. Move.

Out. Move.

Two days, ladies.

Maybe.

I'm sorry about this, folks, but we really only do have ten minutes.

People think politics is glamorous.

I can't remember the last time I had a proper meal with the company I'd chosen.

Now, Miles, the company's not that bad.

Well, it has improved greatly since you joined us, Maureen. No offence, Andrew.

Not taken.

Let's be serious for a minute.

I know that I speak on behalf of Andrew and myself when I say how much we

appreciate what you've done for us, Maureen, since you joined the campaign.

Well, thank you very much.

Excuse me.

How's your old friend these days?

Who, Terry?

Yeah.

Did I hear a rumour he was back in the National?

Dunno, Andrew.

And to be honest with you, I really don't care.

OK, bye.

Well, is this it, then? Don't we get any food? I told you, Miles.

We have ten minutes.

We did match with Miss Nolan today.

I got a B +, and Lorna got a C.

Uh, do I know Lorna?

Do. She's my best friend.

Who happened to Catherine?

Catherine's friends are Eamer now.

Anyway, Lorna got this new nail granite. So, what do you think?

It's nice.

I'm going to wear it to her birthday party on Saturday, and I'm going to get

matching eyeshadow and clips.

Where's the party going to be?

First we're going to the cinema and then we're going to get a pizza.

I suppose you're too old to go to the zoo now, are you?

Yeah.

Can I get a mobile phone? Then I can ring you any time at Mammy's house.

And Lorna has one that can take pictures.

We'll see.

I'll deal with it later

You ready for your tea?

Yeah.

Hi, Mommy.

Hiya, darling.

You go on down and get your dinner there.

I took her for an ice cream.

Is that a crime?

It's fine, Larry.

I'm sorry.

I tried to get in touch with you. Well, it's nice to know who you prefer to pick

up our daughter.

Well, it's all based on reliability.

You know, I have to make judgement calls about these things and let's face it,

you've so many previous convictions.

Are we ever going to stop trying to wound each other?

Or do we just enjoy the pain?

I have to go.

It's a good colour on you, black.

Some kind of election do?

Just drinks to celebrate the last night of the campaign.

You haven't won yet?

No, but we will.

You're on the wrong side, Maureen.

You're sleeping with a cop and you're working for the devil.

I don't think so.

I know so.

Enjoy your evening.

Hope tomorrow brings you everything you've ever wanted.

Oh, God, Terry.

Now you're talking my language.

Dad, there's some tea in the pot if you want some.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad, are you sleeping?

Dad?

Dad, open the door!

Dad!

Open the door!

Dad!

Dad.

Dad.

Come on, Dad. You're still with us.

Come on, Dad.

You know what's so ironic?

I actually like this guy.

I think the country needs someone like him.

Just when they read this, he has absolutely no chance of being elected.

Good work, Terry.

Are you finished with the disc?

It's safer here, Terry. Trust me.

It's our only protection.

Okay.

All right, I'm on my way.

What happened?

P .O .D. What?

Was it an accident?

Come on, Dad. Come on. Don't go.

Don't go, Dad. Come on.

I need you, man.

I need you. Come on, Dad.

Come on, Dad. Don't go.

We're with you, Dad.

We're with you, Dad. You're going to be all right.

It's going to be okay, Todd.

What are you doing here? I work here, too. You know it, Todd.

What are you doing in this office?

You say she's expensive. Taste your girlfriend.

That's where O 'Hara's money's going.

It's a lot of girlfriend.

And this was a very simple earner to lose her to pulling the trigger. I had

choice. The Kelly kid was getting away. It wasn't supposed to happen.

Oh, yeah? And how fast was Erskine running?

Look, Larry, you said stop the information moving around, get the

costs. There's a spiraling out of all control.

Just get the disc and keep it tidy.

I'm getting very bored of this, Larry.

I've nothing to spend the money on.

say anything unless you wish to do so. But anything that you do say may be

down in writing and used as evidence.

This

is

where they killed her. Here.

but it has been a very successful campaign.

In every town, in every street, in every house, our message to the people of

Ireland has been a simple one.

You can trust us.

Give us that trust and we will deliver on health, education and the economy.

And you know, friends, I firmly believe that tomorrow the people of Ireland will

give us that trust and elect us to govern the country.

So how could they not vote for him?

In return,

I have no illusions about you, friends.

In return, we carry the burden of their expectations.

And that is a heavy one.

But we will not fail them. Because when we say something, we mean it. When we

make promises, those promises will be kept. The people of Ireland can trust

Because you can trust the Social Democrats.

And show me what it looks like for the second edition.

Good.

Run it.

John, we're going to go with that.

Morning, Roland.

What?

Who is this, please?

I have faith in the Irish people, and I know that faith will be rewarded.

All right, the country will have a new Taoiseach, a man they can trust.

I can't believe you're doing their dirty work for them. If this gets out, or you

ever fuck with me, you're coming down with the rest of us, do you understand?

She's frightened. She's afraid you're going to send her back to Albania.

Do you know Andrew?

Just met him. How did you get the disc? Through a lot of soul -searching.

Maureen, what you did was very stupid.

I'm worried about you.

Why? You forced me to take action, Maureen. This situation is beyond my

Two days ago, you were hailing Carrick as the new messiah. Whatever it is

heard. It's booked.

Where is the imposter?

Any truth to the story, Mr. O 'Hara?

What story?
