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

believe that tomorrow the people of Ireland will give it their trust and

us to govern the country.

Two people were killed because they had this information.

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

You said stop the information moving around, get the laptop at all costs.

Which is exactly why Miles Carrick is going to be the toughest Taoiseach on

fleas that we've had for years.

Can you prove that money came directly from Antigo Entertainment and into one

these other companies?

We carry the burden of their expectations.

And that is a heavy one.

Good color on you, Black.

Oh, fuck off, Terry.

Now you're talking my language.

Good.

Run it.

Where's the female?

I'll do this here.

Take that and put it on page.

Wish you well.

I keep expecting him to walk through the door.

My God, it's like he had everything prepared.

The only thing he didn't do was say goodbye.

He did.

But he didn't realize it at the time.

He thanked me for everything.

I thought he meant the island.

He thought I was a good son.

He was a good liar, wasn't he?

For God's sake.

Mr. Carrick was amongst the first to register his vote. One more, one more,

lovely. Mr. Carrick, you seem very cold, Mr. Carrick. I have faith in the Irish

people, and I know that faith will be rewarded. Together, we can achieve great

things.

You bastard!

What? You call my sister a prostitute, Terry?

You've wrecked her all over again. Don't you accuse me of that. I got involved.

You ask the people that know me. That's a big thing for me.

Then why didn't you write the facts?

You must really hate what you're doing.

Twisting stories, telling lies.

Show me where the lie is.

Was your sister a prostitute? Did she sleep with men for money? Yes, she did,

under duress maybe, but she did.

You want to know why maybe I hate the thing that I do? Show me the article

isn't there.

What are you talking about? I'm talking about the men that trafficked your

sister. The Social Democrats' election campaign at 25 million euro. It should

on the front page.

You have proof that human traffickers funded a political campaign?

It's not that simple.

Endigo Entertainment are clients of the bank that funds the party. The article

was establishing that connection.

That's the story your sister started. That's the story that last night was on

the front page and should bring down this government before it's been

And now it's been pulled.

Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry.

You lost your sister.

Last night I lost my father.

Oh, no, Terry.

I'm so sorry.

Yes,

I know what you said. I think it's a stupid idea.

You spineless bastard. Where's my story?

I'll call you back, okay? The legal's past it.

What happened? Did you lose your nerve or did somebody get you?

Who the hell do you think you are, coming in here like this? I don't have

justify myself to you. You're not even staff.

You're a freelance. Don't tell me how to do my fucking job.

Who was it that got to your feeling? Who was it? Come on, Terry.

You're the wise guy. Work it out. The publishers?

Top of the class.

Who leaked it? How the hell should I know?

Probably an inside job. This is a carrot paper. I've got 500 likely suspects.

Why do you think I tried to keep it close?

But do you know who they called?

Who, Maureen?

Next thing I know, I get a call from Brussels.

Scale Media International telling me to pull the story.

You didn't give them the disc.

Come on, tell me you didn't give them the disc.

Of course I did.

I was insane!

I was instructed to by my legal department. I had no choice. I even had

fucking guards here with a search warrant.

The guards?

Why would Scale Media want to involve the guards? Jesus Christ, Terry, don't

so naive. They didn't. Someone else got the guard.

Someone very powerful who didn't just want to kill the story.

They wanted to destroy the proof.

Move on, Terry. It's over.

The city's full of stories we know to be true, but they won't let us publish.

Never forget, that's all it is.

It's only a story.

It's not just a story.

Two people were killed because of it.

And you've buried it with them.

Siobhan!

Wanker. Yep.

Pernett seems to be in line with predictions.

And by the night, the country will have a new peak.

A man they can trust.

The story wasn't true, Maury.

That's why they pulled it.

You did the right thing telling me.

Luckily, the people at Sky Media agreed.

They spoke to Phelan, and ultimately he pulled it.

His decision was the right one.

Scale media.

Why were they so interested in this?

We need to talk to people who can appreciate the bigger picture.

Ireland's just one constituency and a larger Europe, you know that.

Carrick wins here, Laporta wins in Spain, and Azzerati wins in Italy.

Business needs a left -of -centre wave to sweep across Europe.

Business?

And people, obviously.

Obviously.

Let's get this finished before he gets back.

I feel guilty for knowing there were times when my advice in

being so helpless,

being in my home all the time.

I think that when someone you love depends on you so much,

I think it's only human to

sometimes resent them.

And when they're gone... Sorry.

Yeah?

Diffie?

Hey, are you okay?

Wait, where are you?

Okay, stay there. I'll be there right away.

I'm sorry about that. No, go.

Well,

the figures are in line with expectations, but our exit polls are

more than an 8 .8.

It's not what people say, Maureen.

It's what they do that counts.

Sorry to interrupt.

Maureen, could I have a word?

Yes, of course. Excuse me, ma 'am.

Terry Corcoran is outside. He's... Shedding his mouth off, creating a fuss.

I don't care what you have to do. Just get rid of him, the man's a liability.

Yeah, of course.

What is this, the true face of democracy?

You've seen my press card. Come on, let me... Okay.

Come here.

I can't believe you're doing that dirty work for them.

Why didn't you call me? You could have told me what it was particularly that

objected to in the article.

Was it that O 'Hara's been diverting millions into the Social Democrats'

election fund?

Are there two people who came across that information have been killed? If it

was true, he would have printed it. He didn't. He pulled it. He was instructed

to pull it.

Who did you tell?

O 'Hara?

Yeah, that makes sense. He has the most to lose.

But who's his contact in the guards? That's what I want to know. Well, you

decide that. You're the one with the vivid imagination. Why are you so afraid

the truth?

You never used to be. Because it wasn't the truth.

It was a crude attempt to smear an honourable man, a man this country needs

right now. Well, you listen to yourself. You sound like one of your own press

releases.

Who told you that? Who told you it was a pack of lies?

That's where the truth is here.

Who gains?

All right, show me the proof.

Show me the proof.

I can't.

The proof of the story has been taken by the guards.

How convenient is that?

Why is everything always someone else's fault with you?

What happened to you?

Me? I grew up, Terry.

That's what happened. I stopped tilting at windmills.

You have to when you're bringing a child up on your own.

But then you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

Hey, do me a favour, will you?

Tell Orla her grandad died last night.

What did you tell yourself?

So what did he have to say for himself?

Nothing we don't already know, Andrew.

What are you doing here?

Relax. It's a domestic visit.

Come with me.

You said you wouldn't call me.

I know.

I lied.

I just want you to know, in case you ever had any thoughts about hanging me

to dry, I also meant about handing the desk back to you.

But you have got it.

proof that was the deal.

I thought I'd come in and see what it must be like to run a country.

It's impressive.

And I miss you.

You miss me?

I'm worried about you.

Why?

Well, you're busy now.

When he wins,

your life's going to get crazy.

Well, Orla and I have been doing fine for the last eight years.

I know.

I want you to come and live with me.

I want to take care of you.

Oh, will you think about it?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll think about it.

Okay.

Do you know Andrew?

Well, just met him.

I had some query about the security detail for Carrick for this afternoon.

I'll see you.

Yeah.

Larry?

What's up?

I lost something.

What'd you lose?

A disc.

Case we're working on.

Must have fallen under my pocket.

Well, I haven't seen anything.

And if I do, I let you know, Larry.

Yeah.

If anyone wants me, I won't be long.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Morning's got the deal.

So? She took it from my pocket.

Which means?

She might be onto something.

I'll talk to her.

Wait!

She stole it from you. She suspects you.

Cover up his paper thing.

Fuck, I don't believe this.

Why would she do that? She knows that she's about to know.

Larry, don't take care of this. No, but Helen, I can sort this. Let the kid go

to school. You can fucking forget that. There'll be no tribunals for us, Larry.

Can you imagine two detectives inside?

We'd be eaten by the animals we put away.

And when she has that disc, we're already dead.

The kid knows you.

I can sort this within the hour.

Do this, or go and talk to Maureen later.

Where's Maureen?

She just popped out.

What happened?

They took me with four others.

Yeah? Radish.

They want to sell me.

Sell you? Where to?

Oh, in Germany.

I don't know. I don't want this life.

No, but it's all right.

It's going to be fine. Oh, you're cold.

Spend the night here.

Yeah?

Don't worry.

I'll get some change.

just realized he never knew his granddaughter.

Because I thought my headlines were more important than she was.

I walked away from my responsibilities.

Our dad, he always looked after us, didn't he?

You can still be her father's son, Terry.

I know that.

I was so sorry to hear about Ronan.

Mary, I'm sorry.

And I believe you.

Well, uh... Hey, I've got a surprise for you. What?

I've got a trip. Where? I can't tell you. It's a secret.

You have to come with me now, though.

But what about with your... No, we're going to come back for it later. I've

spoken to Mr. Leary about it. It's okay.

I am a friend of your Uncle Larry's.

Where are we going?

On a magical mystery tour. We'll see.

Morning with Bundy, Maury.

Yeah.

I don't think he ever gave up hope for you two.

So how did you get the disc?

Through a lot of soul -searching.

Phelan said the guards had taken it.

Mitchell.

I knew there was police involvement.

I never trusted that bastard.

Look, if you're going to start blaming Terry, I'll leave.

How did you get it?

I took it from his pocket.

He came into the office.

I saw him talking to a horror.

And then he showed him the disc.

After what you told me, I put two and two together.

You were listening to me.

Well, for once you were talking some sense.

He's going to go apeshit when he knows it's gone.

I know, when he's going to know it's me.

I appreciate what you did.

I didn't do it for you, Terry. I did it for myself.

Larry was the one who told me that Earl had committed suicide.

Well, he didn't.

And the car Kelly was shot in was rented at Klaus Neumann, the head of Mitre

Bank.

I can't believe I let him in my life.

And I let him get close to Orla, too.

It wasn't Mitchell who tried to take a shot at me, and I don't think it was him

that killed Kelly and Erskine.

He's too smart for that.

Yeah, but he's involved.

People have been murdered and he's involved.

Look.

Take me through it all, will you?

From the beginning.

I want to know everything you know.

Maybe we can help each other.

If you don't tell me the truth, Steffi, I can't help you.

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

No promises, but I can speak to people in immigration.

But if we don't catch this man, he's going to come looking for you.

And I'm not going to be there to protect you.

Tell her, Stephanie.

Tell her the truth, okay?

Okay.

His name's Radic.

When Nina come to club asking for Danita, Raditz, very angry, very angry,

said, show me what happened if I cause trouble.

I think they're going to beat me.

But no, they don't. They get Danita.

They make me watch.

They hold her, beat her.

Their fists.

Her face.

It was terrible.

They make me look.

I beg him to stop, but he just laughs.

The blood.

It was everywhere.

Where did he take the other girls, Duffy?

A place in the woods.

It was where I was sold to him.

I think he sold the girls there.

Minor Bank acts as a clearinghouse for the party donations, disguising them as

investments in those shell companies, who in turn donate an amount below the

declaration threshold to the Social Democrats.

These ones were Andrew O 'Hara's listed as director.

Yeah, and once the company's donated, it's folded.

No one's any the wiser. No one knows what's going on. And we wonder why and

big business gets so many favours.

It's because in return for money, the politicians are looking the other way.

So much for the big democratic ideal.

Yeah, but you can't prove that.

All you can prove is that Andrew O 'Hara is the director of the companies and

that the Midar Bank is involved. And that Kelly and Erskine were murdered

because they had that information.

When did you last see Larry Mitchell?

When he came back to get the disc.

Why didn't he give it to O 'Hara? Why was he holding on to it? Maybe they

trust each other anymore.

Or maybe it's his insurance against being done for murder.

How was he when he was looking for the disc?

Agitated.

Obsessed. Looked like he was capable of anything.

I want to go home! When are we going home? I want to go home! When are we

home? Shut up!

Hey, easy.

Excuse me, just one moment.

Maureen, what you did was very stupid.

And now you have the disc. I need it back, you hear me?

I know you took it from my pocket.

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

I need it back, and I need it now.

Maureen's not here, Laurie.

Thank you for telling me.

Shit! Fuck! Shit!

Did she say where she was going?

The least you could have done was make sure you were talking to her. Yeah,

if you hadn't suggested this, I wouldn't have made the call.

I didn't lose the disc. All right, just take it easy.

Where's Mammy?

Good question.

We've located the container from the information Steffi gave us.

But we need you to identify Radich.

You want me to come along?

We need a positive ID, and I really don't think Steffi's up to it.

I just emailed every key editor in Ireland.

In a couple of minutes, just about every journalist should know about it.

Do you think they'll vote?

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Miles,

we should already be there.

I thought we were waiting for more.

You're the important one. You can leave us there. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies

and gentlemen, thank you all very much. I look forward to seeing you all in

government.

I'll wait.

O 'Hara.

Yes, Clive.

Are you saying we still have a problem?

I can assure you that it won't affect the election result.

Good.

Because my associates have spent a lot of time and money on this, Mr. O 'Hara.

They wouldn't wish to be compromised.

That position is secure.

And mine?

There's nothing to connect you.

Except the disc.

That's in hand.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Problems? No, not at all. Shall we?

Catherine. Yes, Mr. Norman? Book me on the next available flight to Brussels.

The next flight, all right? Yes, sir.

There is God.

Stop.

Hold up.

Hold up.

Okay.

She's on the floor.

Go, go,

go. Go, go.

Surrounded. Run it.

There's no way out.

Go on, run it.

Go on, run it.

Let the girl...

Yeah,

I've got the dates, the transfers and the amounts.

Andrew O 'Hara is the head of the cell company. I'm not saying it's directly

linked to the death of 23 Albanians, but there is a link to organised

trafficking. Well, Miles Carrick -Mayer may not be involved, but his campaign

manager certainly is.

Yeah, Andrew O 'Hara.

OK, great, get back to me. I have my number. You don't have to believe me.

to Maureen Boland. She's their press secretary.

Hi, Maureen Boland.

Hello.

Beatrice. Yeah, hang on. I'll put you on for it. Yeah, it's true, everything he

said.

Can you hang on a moment?

Beatrice. Maureen, two days ago you were hailing Carrick as the new messiah.

Well, have I ever let you down before?

Who else knows about this, Terry?

Are we talking exclusively?

RT are willing to cover it, but they want to see the proof.

But I want it to go out live.

They won't buy that.

No, no editing. I don't want anything going mysteriously missing.

Did you hear that?

Okay, you got yourself a deal.

Give it half an hour.

Looking forward to it.

Lance Carrick what?

Terry's phone.

Shut up.

We were wondering where you got to, Maureen.

Larry.

Be quiet!

Who's that?

Look, my partner isn't nearly as patient as I am, Maureen.

Let's get this sorted quick.

Is that Orla?

What are you doing with her?

Larry, what are you doing with her?

He's got Orla.

He's got Orla.

Mitchell, Mitchell, if you touch her, if you hurt her, I'm going to kill you

with my bare hands, do you hear me?

Just give me the disc and you'll get it back.

Okay, where?

Phoenix Park.

No.

No, somewhere public.

The Count Center.

Now.

Do you think Terry will deliver?

Beatrice, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind this story means more to him

than anything.

When you look at them,

I'm seriously unaware that the shit is about to hit the phone.

Andrew!

Have you seen Maureen?

Why, is she here?

Not yet, but we're certainly looking forward to seeing her.

Whatever it is you've heard, it's bollocks.

That's so, because it's all over town.

What is?

That you're heading for a landslide.

What else?

Get Mr. Carrick someone private. I want him to practice his acceptance speech.

No press, no interviews, do you understand?

Have you got it back yet?

Ten minutes.

Why here?

We're surrounded by the country's media.

They'll have to play straight.

Miles is upstairs.

I'm just not going to bring him down until we're absolutely 100 % sure it

becomes fine.

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

What story?

They all have it.

I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Andrew O 'Hara, how did you form this campaign?

Tonight is a victory not just for the Social Democrats,

not just for me, not just for Ireland, but for truth and open government.

For any who doubt me and my convictions, I will not compromise my beliefs,

beliefs I have held since I first entered the political arena.

Integrity is everything.

And without integrity, we have nothing at all.

Come on, Miles.

Tonight is a victory not just for the people of Ireland.

Tonight is a victory not just for the Social Democrats, not just for me, but

the people of Ireland.

But for open and truth in government. For any who doubt me and my convictions,

will not compromise my beliefs.

Beliefs I have held since I first entered the political arena.

Integrity is everything.

And without integrity, we have nothing at all.

Where's Orla?

Where is she? She's fine. Have you got the disc? Yeah, I've got the disc. Where

is she?

Where is she? You can't. Calm down.

Now, you come with me. I'll check the disc if it's okay. You got her back. All

right, let's go.

You stay here.

So what do you get for kidnapping little girls these days?

Uncle Larry?

I'm going to make sure you don't get away with this.

Press Secretary Maureen Boland. Why is she not here today?

Where is your Press Secretary Maureen Boland?

I'm not going to comment on stories that I've heard based on complete

fabrication.

He's here somewhere. I don't know.

He's here somewhere. I don't know.

He's here somewhere. I don't know.

He's here somewhere. I don't know.

I don't know where she is.

Get out of my way. Get out of my way.

Give me the disc. Where is she? Give me the disc.

Are you okay?

Are you all right? Will you get up? There's no story.

Get back off. Keep back. Give us some room.

Give us some room.

Move, move.

Fucking animals.

I have someone who wants to speak to you. You need to come with me now.

come with me.

Look. Come on.

Get back.

That disc shows the creation of over 5 ,000 companies. They've contributed

25 million euro to your campaign.

One of those companies is Endigo Entertainment.

They own a lap dancing club that employs illegal aliens from Eastern Europe

working as prostitutes.

One of them was found dead in the Dublin mountains recently.

Two people who had the disc have been found dead in suspicious circumstances.

That can't be true. Ladies and gentlemen, the final count of Dublin

now in.

Blood on his hands.

You've been maneuvered. You've been hijacked.

Where do you think the money for your campaign came from? The most powerful

media -intensive campaign in the history of the state?

From trafficking and enslavement, that's where.

Dirty money from all over Europe.

Mitre Bank launders the money. Andrew O 'Hara is the linchpin.

This is ridiculous.

Miles, I have absolutely no idea why this man is making up these allegations.

But...

Your constituency count of coming in. I suggest we be there.

The proof is in his pocket.

A disc showing the money trail.

I've seen it. This is a joke!

Miles, please.

Let's go.

Miles.

Could you leave us, please?

I would say that's for you.

Thank you.

Tonight is a victory not just for the Social Democrats,

not just for me, and not just for Ireland, but for truth

and open government.

For those who may doubt me and my convictions, let me say this.

I will not compromise my beliefs.

Beliefs I have had since I first entered the political arena.

Integrity is everything.

And without integrity, we have nothing at all.

That is why I say to you tonight...

As

your Taoiseach...

I will honour the pledges that we made to you at the beginning of this

but much more importantly, I want to take this opportunity to thank the

of Ireland for placing their trust in us.

And to say to you that that trust will not be betrayed.

Because you can trust the Social Democrats.

I would have taken you, you know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

But this is fine.

Besides, I'll be back in a week or so to help with Debbie's asylum claim.

I'll be seeing you again.

Good luck.

Yeah.

Thank you.

there's some in -flight reading for you.

I, uh, got you a little present.

Thank you, Father Grace.

They're for Lorna's party.
