All language subtitles for Acceptable Risk S01E04 720p x264 RB58

These are the names of Irish crime
families who have connections in both

Montreal and Dublin.

Someone wanted Lee Manning
professionally killed. Any one of them

arranged it.

I've been doing a bit of work for a
yank, you see.

Miss America might know why your old
man's lying on a slab in Canada.

I could lead you to her. They fished
Walsh out of the canal.

He was helped on his way. He had a bash
to the back of the head.

I don't have your name yet, but I know
where you work.

You meet me and talk or I'll come
knocking on the door of the US Embassy.

Jimmy! We've shut out Rowling's out in
the past, I know. But your advice on

would be very welcome, before it turns
into the kind of headlines that none of

us want. Lee Manning used to work for
the CIA.

I assume full operational control.

I'm off the case.

You got close to something, so they
closed you down, and you're going along

it. What Cormac Waltz was sent here to
look for, it's got hotel bills,

a record of everywhere he'd been for the
firm, all the places they sent him.

It's an address here.

It's where Barry Lahanna is.

Lee was scared that Lahan suspected him
of being there the night Ciarán died.

Yeah, you're making this up, aren't you?
Now, Lee Manning, whoever the hell he

was, got what he wanted. Ciarán was in
his way, and Ciarán had to go.

A little bird tells me you're going away
for a few weeks.

Monday, London, of course.

They're very big on those now.

Policing has changed since I left. It's
not all clearing bars with your fists in

Dolphin's Barn or getting to know the
chancellors on your beat.

I'm not sure about it.

This case I'm working, I told you about,
it'll be hard to let go of the reins.

I know the feeling. Some of them you
take personally.

You want to be the one to make the
arrest.

You're under enough pressure without
adding to it yourself, though, don't you

think?

It was a different world when I started.

The Stone Age.

I was one of the first to get to high
rank.

I thought they'd give me a chance to
prove myself.

Instead, I was sent around the country
inspecting accounts.

Then I got saddled with a hit -and -run
driver.

A very rich man with powerful friends.

I was told if I made waves, I'd be
proven I wasn't a team player.

And that'd be bad news for any other
woman trying to follow in my footsteps.

If I wanted to join the boys' club, I'd
have to prove I understood the rules.

So I took the long view.

I let it slide.

I went with the force instead of my
feelings, and I think I was right.

I paid my dues on behalf of you and the
other women that followed.

Are you giving me a message?

What message would that be then?

To straighten yourself out.

To realise that not all the battles have
been won. To understand that you have a

responsibility too to the women who will
come after you. What, to keep my head

down and my mouth shut?

You didn't write the rules on policing
and at your level you don't get to see

the big picture. If something stinks,
cover your nose.

Can I guess who the little bird was who
sent you?

Jimmy Nulty is one of the best friends
we ever had in the guards.

Look how he forced them to give that
course to you instead of to the blue

boy the rest of them wanted.

He'd make a fine commissioner, maybe
even a great one.

Sarah Manning is in the clear as far as
I'm concerned, though there are some

that are trying to set her up. Listen to
yourself.

There's people in Dublin, important
people, that want her headed off or

as a lunatic. I really don't want to
think that it goes up to chief

superintendent level and you're doing
this dirty work. If you want to make an

enemy of me and sabotage your career,
then go right ahead. I'm not trying to

make an enemy of you.

I respect you.

I learned everything from you.

This is my life, my career and my name
on that file.

And I'm making a phone call.

I want you to hear this.

Sarah.

Eimear.

I'm coming to see you.

Let's just say tea with an old friend
gives you a chance to calm down and

things through.

The CIA?

Lee worked for the CIA?

As far as we know, he was an ex
-employee.

That explains this and those.

Put them somewhere safe.

I'm taking you to meet somebody.

The person who arranged for your car to
be bugged and your house broken into

looking for them.

What's she doing here?

You need her on your side.

She found the file you paid Walsh to
break it to her house to look for.

I had nothing to do with that. Cormac
Walsh said you did.

He offered to sell you out. For 50 ,000
euros, he was gonna hand you over.

He never got the chance.

We can do this here now.

No record of who says what, or we could
do it the other way.

Leave here. Go back to the U .S.
Embassy.

Make it official. Your call.

I want the truth.

I'm going to get it.

Lots of people say that.

But they don't want the whole truth.

They only want the one that they can
handle.

The one that fits into the way they see
the world.

How they want to keep thinking about
somebody.

Especially somebody they're close to. I
want to know everything.

about Lee, about the company, about why
he was in danger. I want to know who you

are and what gave you the right to do
what you did to my family.

I work for the FBI on attachment to the
embassy in Dublin.

The case I'm working on falls under the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which

authorizes us to bring charges against
any firm or employee of that firm using

bribery or corruption to obtain
financial advantages.

Gumbiner Fisher was using Lee to do
that.

Do you have proof of that?

I can tell you exactly what he was going
to do in Montreal if he had the chance.

It's what he did every time he made a
trip on behalf of that firm.

Have an appointment with the minister?

We had been watching Lee for some time.

Every trip followed a similar pattern.

I'm not here to offer anything as crude
as a bribe, Minister.

You're a man of the highest ethical
integrity with an unblemished

So far.

Your promotion to health minister in one
of the German federal republics puts

you in charge of the bidding process for
a drug that we manufacture.

We want to invest in you, in your
career, your success in that career,

well -being, and when you leave
political life, if you should choose to

talents in the business world.

We'd be more than happy to talk.

In public life, people make enemies.

You've made them.

One in particular.

He'd destroy you if he could. But we'd
prefer it if you destroyed him first.

would regard this as a down payment on
our investment with you.

That's how it was meant to go down.

That day, of course, it all went south.

I was planning to approach him, show him
the evidence that we already had, offer

him a deal, get him to wear a wire.

He was the last piece of the puzzle.

I want to say how sorry I am that your
husband was killed in a place where we

couldn't intervene.

Or are you just sorry you can't make
your case anymore?

I would like to believe that he would
have cooperated willingly once I had the

means to get his attention.

But he could have ended up on the
witness sheet instead of in the dock.

When did you last see Walsh?

I tried to talk to him two nights ago.

See how serious he was about his threats
to go public?

I couldn't find him.

The night he was killed?

I had nothing to do with that.

He had enemies, too.

The Drug Enforcement Agency used him as
an informant in a smuggling case at

Dublin Airport.

I'm not holding anything back.

You asked me for the truth, and now I'm
asking you to act on it.

Your husband was a highly trained...
undercover intelligence officer who

no one, not even the firm that he worked
for.

If something went wrong, he might have
kept a record as an insurance policy in

case they tried to throw him under the
bus.

Why should I help you blacken his name,
even if I believed any of this?

Because the answer to the person who
killed your husband is what he was doing

with that firm.

Don't you want that answer?

I'll make a deal with anybody to find
who killed me, but I have to be sure I'm

going to get the right answer and not be
fed another pack of lies. I am not

lying to you. I have put my career in
your hands by telling you all of this.

Let's go.

I am going to get an indictment on that
company one way or another, and I will

include in those indictments anyone who
tries to obstruct my investigation.

You have no idea how broad the reach of
the United States government is.

Do you believe it?

I didn't know your husband.

Do you?

If I wanted somebody to do a job like
that, I'd be looking for somebody with a

background like his.

Somebody who could guard a secret.

Keep his nerve.

Look somebody in the eye and make a
threat or tell a lie without blinking.

But that same person...

It's a car knife!

You gonna be alright?

He gave me this last year.

It's from Italy.

Changes colour.

It's red from one angle and green from
the other.

Depends how you look at it.

It's not just one thing.

Two things all at once.

Maybe he was sending me a message.

In case one day I ever thought the other
side of him, the other lady.

I have to take this.

Han is dead Had another

heart attack he was never gonna make it
Are

you sure you've given us a list of
everything he was taking for his

heart He was on a lot of things. We
found quilladine in his system We have

record of the quilladine having been
prescribed

Sarah Manning to see Aidan O'Sullivan or
Deirdre Kilbride. Do you have an

appointment? If you tell them who it is,
they'll see me.

I'm not willing to let anybody through
without an appointment.

Well, you're not supposed to spend your
time doing your nails and texting your

boyfriend, are you, love?

This is Manning to see you.

Yes, thank you.

Sarah? Sarah?

These are the dates he was in those
cities on your behalf Paris, Rome, Hong

Kong, Nairobi, Singapore, Cairo East.

Comes on and on and... Oh, Montreal.

The last trip, the one he didn't come
back from.

You sent him there to very cleverly
threaten to blackmail people to swing

contracts and deals your way.

I've the originals of all his travel
details, expenses, instructions on who

meet and where.

I've just come from meeting an FBI agent
attached to the U .S. Embassy in Dublin

who'd be very interested in seeing them.

She wants to send you to jail.

You should not foresee what means she
has to use. She's already had my house

broken into, booked my car. She'll...
she'll do what it takes.

Oh, that's not, um...

That's not jail here, by the way. That's
federal prison in the U .S. where

there's no parole and they can sent you
down for 150 years without cracking

their faces.

The way they work is to round up the
small five births, the lower and middle

ranking executives like you, and work
their way up to the big fish.

Which of you wants this?

Legal?

Human resources?

Or... Should I find my way to Dr.
Hoffman's office and hand it to him

personally?

I knew nothing about this.

Neither do I, and Sarah, I resent you
forcing your way in here. I resent

to bury my husband in a few days, so I
think we're quits.

Well, things have changed since your
time here. You work here, the pair of

Gumpiner Fisher pays your wages. If you
didn't know about this, you should have

guessed. And if you did know, you both
have Lee's blood on your hands.

What do you want from us?

I want the name of the man in the file
Lee carried.

The man who was going to be destroyed
because of the information in it. He had

the most to gain by Lee being killed
before he could hand it over.

If I don't get that, I'll go back to the
FBI and show them everything I have.

I'm still hoping there's another
explanation.

That...

Maybe he was planning on blowing the
whistle on the whole rotten deal. That

was sick and tired of the lie.

The ones he told on your behalf.

The ones he had to tell me that he was
going to bring you down. That he was a

good man.

And not a crook.

And a blackmailer who saw the light in
the end.

Give me that name or I will do to you
what Lee did to people on your behalf.

Destroy you.

Sarah Manning was in the office just
now. It's no longer vague threats

She's got something in writing that
could destroy this vermin. Send a lot of

people to prison.

Prison in America as well as here.

I'm told one of the best views in the
world is from the cells at San Quentin.

No more jokes, Morris.

Scared.

For the first time, really scared.

The FBI is involved, and God knows who
else.

Sarah Manning is coming straight at
Hoffman, and you're a little too close

him for comfort.

She'll do anything to find the answers.

And if they can help her do that... I
have done no more for convener Fisher

I would do for any major employer in
this country.

We have a vital national interest in
working with those who can bring good,

steady jobs here, but I am also fully
aware that there are lines never to be

crossed. This sounds like something
you'd say outside the four courts before

going in to be sentenced.

Look, don't panic.

In the meantime, stay clear of Sarah
Manning.

There's nothing more I can tell her.
That won't stop her asking questions.

Aidan O'Sullivan, though, I wouldn't be
sure about him and what he knows and

what he is willing to tell to save his
own neck.

There's not much to tell about that
night.

And I have told it many times.

You still have to ask?

I was on my way to work.

That time of the night?

Yes.

I worked two, three jobs in those days
to have money to buy this.

My night job was to clean the vents in
the restaurant.

I stripped the grease and it was
recycled into new cooking oil.

I'll think of that next time I'm down
and out.

So I walked by the canal, and I heard
blood, as if someone had fallen in.

So, you were here when you heard Kieron
Boyle call for help, yeah?

Yes, yeah.

Help!

Help! Help me!

Did you see anyone else?

No, no, I see no one else. Only the man
in the water.

He's in the lock, trying to get out, but
the water is too deep.

I'm shouting for help.

There is no one to hear me.

The man in the water is trying to get
hold of something.

There is nothing there.

He tries to reach my hand when I reach
down for him, but... Take your time.

One moment.

Do you drink?

I do, but I'm on duty.

Sometimes I have nightmares.

Then I saw lights of police car on the
road.

So I leave the man in the water and I
run to them.

We get man out of the water and it's too
late.

So this is my statement.

Nothing to add.

It's your statement word for word.

But I think you're lying.

I think you saw something else that
night.

There was a knife found here.

Knife? Don't know nothing about knives.

A short -bladed folding knife that
somebody would use to protect themselves

they had to be going around the city
late at night, going from job to job

cash. Was yours, wasn't it?

And on your way to ask the guard for
help, you stopped and you got rid of it

because you didn't want them to find it
on you.

I think you were nervous because you saw
something.

That's why you got rid of the knife.

Which means that if there was somebody
else there that night, you saw them.

So what really happened? Who did you
see?

If I tell you about the knife, will you
put me in trouble?

I don't care about the knife.

It's only important because it tells me
you were too scared to say what you

really saw.

So what happened?

What did you see?

At first I hear shouting.

As if someone was in a fight. Two voices
of two men.

So I think to myself, Kirilko, this is
none of your business. Don't get

involved. Just go.

But then I hear shouting for help.

So I run towards lock gate.

And that's when I hear splash.

And that's when the other man sees me.

And he runs away.

So he gets away, the other man that was
fighting with him.

Yeah.

I lied because I don't want to get into
trouble.

You see, if they send me to jail, they
send me home straight away.

Are you going to put me to jail?

I just want to know what the other man
looked like.

I did not get a good look at him. Yeah,
but you did see him.

Yes, I saw.

Was this him?

It was a very long time ago.

Yeah, but you said you still have
nightmares.

You see it all again. Was this him?

Yeah. Yes, I think that I am. Yes.

Yes.

You're a very capable man, Mr. Lahan.

And I'm sure you do whatever it takes to
protect the people you're working for.

You don't get a free pass just because
you work for one of the biggest firms in

Ireland.

Not just one of the biggest.

One of the most important and powerful.

You should remember that.

Are you going to look for him now?

And put him into court?

Well, I have to say what I saw.

You may not have to do that.

Not now.

Let me walk this back.

You carried out an illegal surveillance
operation against an employee of one of

Ireland's biggest and most profitable
companies without informing me as legal

attache.

To do so, you use the Dublin criminal
who even the Drug Enforcement Agency

flaky.

He's dead, and now you've opened a bad
channel to a detective in the Dublin

police force who seems to have an agenda
of her own and conducted an interview

with a potential suspect, your target's
widow.

She's just told you to get lost, so
you're bringing it to me in case she

public, in which case the ambassador is
going to be asking me some very awkward

questions.

I have strong circumstantial evidence
that contracts have gone to Gunbeiner

Fisher instead of the lowest bidder. Or
that the terms of bids changed at the

last minute to favor them. I think we
can still pull a case together.

And Sarah Manning is the key.

Given what you've done already, it could
also turn into one of the nastiest

diplomatic dogfights in Foreign Service
history.

Ireland is not a hostile power.

These are our friends.

We like them. They like us. We don't
have too many people left in the world

do that unconditionally these days.

We're through here.

I want nothing to do with this.

Fold the case and walk away.

You said it yourself.

It started off as an illegal
surveillance operation in a friendly

went downhill from there. If you didn't
know about it, you should have.

I have no intention of holding this case
while there's still a chance that we

can get indictments.

You ordered a guard to sit by the
hospital bedside of a man connected with

case that you were warned of.

You spoke to that guard and to the
doctor in charge in direct defiance of

order given to you by me in this office.

Is that right? The death of Sarah
Manning's first husband is now a murder

inquiry. I have a witness.

He said Lehan was there the night he
died.

Somebody gave Lehan medication that
would kill him if taken in combination

his regular prescription, which means
Lehan was killed to stop him revealing

name of whoever he killed for.

You're accusing an ex -guard of murder
for hire?

I think we could make that case.

On whose behalf?

Somebody in that firm wanted Ciarán
Boyle out of the way because of what he

about their corrupt operations.

Operations that Lee Manning was part of.

Why do you think I took that case from
you? Or tried to?

You really think it can be handled at
your level? I don't know why you took me

off the case. I know what I'm told.

Sir.

I know what I was told, sir.

By you, sir.

Your current daybook.

Now.

You've not spoken to anyone else about
this case, either by phone or in person,

and left details out?

No, sir.

Don't get cute with me, have you?

I have not, sir.

Because if you have, it's a very serious
disciplinary matter.

I'm well aware of that, sir.

It wouldn't just be a matter of missing
this course in London.

You could be out on your ears. I realise
that, sir.

Did you talk to Sarah Manning this
morning?

I did, sir.

I don't see a note about it in here.

My friend, Sarah, that's a private
thing, not official business.

Don't get cute with me.

Should I ask for a member of the Garda
Representative Association to get

involved in this, sir? I put my own
brother away once.

He was a bad lot, but he was still my
flesh and blood.

I could have dipped in the wig to get
the next boat out of here before they

nabbed him. But I didn't make that call.
I had my loyalties sorted out.

Everything I do is knowing my loyalties,
sir.

As I said to ex -guarded Detective
Heffernan when she tried to warn me to

off. I sent her to you to give you that
warning.

In the hopes that you'd see reason back
off when you were told that this inquiry

involves issues that are way out of your
league. But you said no. You tried to

make an idiot out of me.

That's not true, sir.

All I tried to do was follow the case to
where it led.

It leads here to my desk, where it
should have been all this time.

You might as well hand in your
resignation here and now, because

you do from now on, there'll always be a
red flag against your name.

Neymar Byrne asked Jimmy Nolte about
her.

She never gave 100 % when she was asked.

She knew better.

Your career's over.

It's our loss as much as yours, but
there it is.

Get out of here.

Cool your heels while I decide what to
do with you.

Whatever it is you won't like it because
it'll be a total waste of your time

training and talent Go

You

did

that for me put your career on the line

For the case, to get the truth no matter
who's standing in the way.

It burnt me bridges.

Now all I can do is do what you did.

Take the fight to them.

That list of Canadian organized crime
figures with Irish family connections

here, I think I can help.

Hila Beck.

The German Federal Intelligence Service.
Amos told me who you are.

We're on the same side, Mrs. Manning.
Are we?

Are we really?

I want to find the man who killed my
husband and see him punished.

Is that what you want?

I want the same name as you do.

that of the man who had reason to take
the file from your husband, even if he

had to kill him to do so.

This one is doing 20 years in
Portlaoise.

This one is in jail in England.

This one has got a big family, but
they're all Egypt. Nobody would trust

And this one is strictly small time.

Him and him.

It may be worth giving a shake.

I'll have a sniff around for you.

Do you really think that you can get one
of them to give somebody up?

That depends on how good a deal I'm in a
position to make.

You two make a good team.

I just want it all to be over.

To close the door behind me.

Be with my kids.

And around people who tell me the truth.

I regret the deception I had to practice
on you, Mrs. Manning.

I especially regret that you saw through
it so easily.

Do what you have to do, Mr.

Duquesne.

You too, Miss Beck.

You tell me who in there arranged to
kill my husband, and I'll tell you who

stood most to gain from it.

Once I know.

As well as all the stuff about the firm,
he's got all these details about how

you financed the properties you and
Patrick got into.

You know, who your partners were, the
banks you used.

There's also a lot of things about
Patrick's legal problems.

The fraud charges.

All the shenanigans he got into when he
got desperate.

It brings it back.

It was great for a while.

When we went out for the night, we never
knew where we'd end up.

Paris by Charterjet, Ibiza to go
clubbing.

Be honest.

Sister to sister.

You were always a bit jealous of me back
then, weren't you?

Maybe I was.

Sister then.

You had all the money in the world and
you weren't shy about showing it off.

I'd worked hard to get where I was and
you'd dropped out of school and were

living like a queen.

Why would Lee care about it?

And care enough to put all this
together?

I've no idea.

I need to talk to him.

To Patrick. How do I find him?

I would have said in the biggest suite
at the most expensive hotel in Dublin.

These days.

Did I ever tell you about the time he
didn't like how the hotel manager spoke

him? He tried to buy the place so he
could sack him. He did. Can you keep to

subject? I have nothing to do with him
anymore.

You knew he was back.

He came round the day he flew back.

He wanted to borrow some money for the
taxi fare from the airport. He didn't

even have that. Can you imagine?

How do I find him?

No.

I'm doing as well as you can when it
looks like the jig is up.

Thanks for asking.

As well as you can do when this is your
lunch.

Not the culinary razzle -dazzle of the
best restaurants in Dublin.

I'll take you to lunch. Put that away.

Hold on a sec.

With the compliments of somebody who was
at one point the 15th or possibly 16th

richest man in Ireland.

Some touch of the old style there.

Yeah, you always had plenty of that.

That's all I've left.

When that's gone, it'll really be over.

I've asked Sarah to lunch, too.

How's she holding up?

Sometimes I think my sister is made of
spring steel.

Sometimes I think she's made of
strawberry jelly.

Be careful what you say to her.

What about losing Lee?

Bringing up the kids on her own?

About everything.

Are you listening to me?

You're wide awake. This is getting
through.

Everything.

Right.

You're not staying.

I said I'd take you to lunch. I didn't
say I'd eat with you.

I have a business to run.

Feels like an ambush.

It's about Lee.

I just found out that he put a file
together about your property deal.

Why would he do that?

Why would he care about them?

Care about them and hide them. Hide them
with a bunch of other things about the

firm he worked for. Things.

That might have got him killed.

I like Lee.

He was one of those quiet Americans.

Most of them tell you in the first five
minutes about their Irish roots and how

their grandfather was in the GPO in
1960.

Lee didn't tell any stories about where
he was from. That's one of my problems.

This is what he had.

A lift of all your properties.

Why? Huh? Why are you going to all this
trouble?

You know, I actually think I owned this
restaurant at one point.

If I still did, I'd fire everybody for
keeping us waiting this long.

Yes, sir?

Yeah, I apologize for disturbing your
slumbers, but we wish to eat.

I'm so sorry, sir.

The lady will be paying.

Can we get back on track?

You and Lee.

The property deal. Why would he go to
all this trouble to get these details?

I need to know how this fits in with
everything else.

I figure you're firing all these
questions at me because there was a lot

good old Lee than met the eye.

Why else would we be here?

Could it be anything to do with this
deal?

Or this one?

Or this?

Yeah, you'll have to excuse me. I won't
be having lunch with you after all. I

mustn't keep the judge waiting. She
isn't in for me already.

I hope this has been useful.

To repeat, however, I have no idea why
Lee did what he did or what those papers

add up to. That you've been waving a
little bit rudely, I'd have to say, in

face. I need to know.

You're the only one who can tell me what
this means.

I should say, do let's do this again,
but even if by some legal loophole they

don't put me in jail.

I really don't have anything to say
about Lee, and I resent being cross

-examined about it. That's not what I'm
doing.

I have quite enough people in my life
firing questions at me at the moment,

it is what you're doing.

And I've nothing to tell you, so leave
me alone. He wouldn't have done this

without a reason.

I'm not at the dock here, and nor is
Nuala.

This isn't about me and her. This is
about you and Lee.

And if that was a mess that you're only
now getting around to sorting out, don't

bring us into it.

Understood?

Ex this room alone?

Oh, come on!

I made quite a little scene out of it,
too.

I was always good at that, wasn't I?

You were.

I don't think she'd be back for more.

How much do you think she really knows
about that deal with Kieron?

She has no idea of it. Not yet.

I hope she never does.

She'd never forgive me.

It'd be over for me and her as sisters.

Do you know that name?

I'm a legal officer of this corporation.

What I know and don't know is
privileged.

You do, don't you?

Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to
share it. Whatever the circumstances

Sarah Manning or anybody else.

However, if that meant I'd be complicit
in a crime, that if by

withholding the information I was
furthering a conspiracy, malfeasance or

something that would put me on the wrong
side of the law, it would be a

different matter.

I'd have no choice. You tell her.

A couple of months ago, the US
authorities extradited two directors and

treasurer of a London bank. None of them
had even set foot in the States ever.

They're in jail there now, awaiting
trial.

There are arrests for and save for the
members of staff who did the paperwork.

I like those documentaries about
American jails, but I don't want to be

But why?

Who are you going to call?

Your boyfriend, the TD.

How deep is he in?

He's not.

Look, I know a little bit about how this
firm got the planning permission and

the buying credit for the new plant, the
one in O 'Hanlon's constituency.

He's the man who can get things done.
But this is the FBI.

The FBI, if they broke into Sarah's
house, booked her car, and you're... But

call them.

Go on.

Put your head in the news. I'm going to
do what's best for me.

You're going to tell her?

Yeah.

If that's what it takes.

Barry Lehan.

That weasel is the reason I'm serving up
my time in traffic.

We were both in the running for
promotion to inspector.

My qualifications would even be a bit
better than his.

I was ready for the challenge.

The promotion was mine for the having.

Then things started to go wrong.

I started getting sideways looks from
the station.

People would clam up when I walked by.

People I'd worked with for years
wouldn't want to be seen with me.

I found out why.

He was putting it around, but I was
dirty.

that I was doing favours for cash.

So Lahan was behind it?

He got the job and I got shuffled into
traffic.

He said, I told you I wanted that job,
Brian.

You know me.

You know I'd do anything to get it.

I'm in two minds whether to go to his
funeral or not.

I'm damn sure I'll go to his grave at
some point and have a good laugh.

Could Lahan have arranged for somebody
to be killed in Montreal using his

connections here?

Lahan was a walking who's who of Irish
crime love.

Spent his life dealing with it.

Sometimes there's a line that gets a
little blurred, if you take my meaning.

What you're dealing with day in, day
out, rubs off.

If anybody could do it, he'd know who.

The rumour mill says that you've made a
bit of an enemy for yourself at

headquarters, Emer.

I might have done.

Be careful, or you might end up like me,
staring at a bank of traffic monitors

and waiting for the day the pension
check's in the bank.

Of a single malt I've been saving for a
special occasion.

Between you and me, I prefer scotch to
Irish whiskey, but I can't be seen

drinking it in public.

Chief Superintendent Nolte has some good
news.

He's taken back complete control of the
operation.

Eimear Byrne is out the door.

Isn't that right, Jimmy?

There's no reason for the guard that you
called it to celebrate.

Quite the opposite.

A good, smart, hard -working detective,
who also happens to be a decent human

being, has had her career derailed.

Slated her own door, but it's a damn
shame, anyhow.

Combiner Fisher is one of this country's
most valuable companies.

We reached out to offer you whatever
help we could.

All we expected in return was to be kept
informed of developments in your

inquiry. Can I make it plainer that
after this, I won't have nothing to do

any deals with you or anyone in your
firm or the goings -on going on there,

whether it comes through your poodle or
Hanley or not?

That's what I came here tonight to tell
you.

You came in with your eyes open, and I
regret it the minute I did.

I still reserve the right to take this
further.

Once I get my head all the way around
the facts.

How much pain is your wife in, Chief
Superintendent?

Mr. O 'Hanlon tells me she's very ill.

That's no business of his or yours. We
have some people achieving very good

results on a new pain management
protocol.

Life -changing results.

If you would like me to speak to them on
her behalf. We've tried everything.

This is new.

It's cancer, right?

It's not a cure, you understand.

But a way to make the final months
bearable.

Family support is vital.

So I could make arrangements for you to
be with her full -time, without

financial penalty.

If she would be more comfortable in
another house.

At the coast, perhaps.

Even abroad.

In the sun somewhere.

It would be part of our therapeutic
commitment to you.

I'm not ready to retire.

A man like yourself has a great deal to
offer to an industry such as mine.

Of course, there is a vacancy here in
Dublin following the regrettable death

Mr. Lahan.

Take his job, you mean?

And end up like him?

Thank you very much, no.

I don't want anything from your firm.

What about your wife, Nolte?

Siobhan. What about her?

I would need an answer tonight, I'm
afraid.

Before we all leave here.

You can sit in your high horse, but at
her expense.

What kind of man are you?

You're not as smart as you think you
are, Mohand.

You might think you've got a nice little
out -of -the -way place here, but

nowhere is really out -of -the -way
these days.

A local guard, knowing it belongs to a
TD, keeps a very close eye on it.

He's aware of the comings and goings.

He keeps a lookout for strange cars,
makes a note of regular visitors.

We ran a couple of number plates to be
on the safe side.

Man in public life.

One stood out.

Do you know your head of human
resources, Deirdre Kilbride, is a

here day and night?

Especially night.

Night through to the early hours of the
morning.

She has her own key.

This is true, Mr. Allen.

Miss Kilbride comes here?

That's nobody's business but hers and
mine.

You're a married man. It opens you up to
blackmail. If it's another kind of

relationship you're looking for. Do you
want your mouth washed out for your

nutty? I'm in pretty good shape for a
man who sits behind a desk all day. Do

want to try me?

Gentlemen, please.

What does she know?

What have you told her, and what has she
told you?

She's not a problem, and she's not going
to be a problem.

You are sure?

Women get to her age, and yeah, sure,
you know, the career's gone great guns,

but they're lonely.

Their looks are beginning to fade, and
the biological clock is going boom,

boom.

Leave it to me.

I'll keep an eye on her.

She's not going to do anything to rock
the boat or to talk out of turn.

Not when she hopes that I'll cause a
scandal by leaving my family for her.

I've been keeping her dangling with that
for a couple of years. It's good for a

few years more.

I came to...

I wanted... Aidan O'Sullivan is going
to...

I heard.

I've been in the hall. Deirdre, what is
Mr. O'Sullivan going to do?

You've kept me dangling for a couple of
years. I'm good for a few more. I have

to tell them what I thought they wanted
to hear. What is it Mr.

O'Sullivan intends to do?

You're a guard, right?

But you're doing it for your wife, not
for you.

What did you hear? Stay here, Mr.
Ryland.

I'll talk to her. She'll listen to me.

I'll handle this.

I don't take orders from you.

No, you do.

You both do.

Perhaps she didn't hear everything, but
she heard enough.

Sarah Manning? Sarah.

Deirdre.

Is this the most safe we can meet?

What?

It's anywhere safe.

Maybe not.

I need to see you anyway. Can I come
round?

Now? Well, if it wasn't something you
needed to know, what I'd be calling.

Of course you can.

How long will you be?

Not too long.

The stuff you need to be made aware of.

Do it rather than later.

I'm on my way.
