(AN INDISTINCT VOICE
THROUGH A MEGAPHONE IN THE DISTANCE)

(BABY CRYING)

(ITALIAN BEING SPOKEN)

Abeni.

Abeni? Abeni Bankole.

Abeni Bankole.

Good boy, Isaiah.

My children...

How long will be here?

As soon as we get through this.

(CHILD COUGHS AND CRIES)

Your husband.

He died in the crossing?

He died from his burns.

The chemicals from
the fuel on the boat.

I could not even touch him...

..my husband...

..because of
the chemical burns on his body.

What's with the numbers?

It's my phone number.

If they get lost from me.

I am all they have.

I am submitting
an application for asylum for you.

If the application is accepted,

you will be granted asylum
and protection in Ireland.

While the case is being assessed,
you and your children will be housed

in temporary accommodation
called a Direct Provision Centre...

..where your basic needs of
food and shelter will be provided.

(CRYING)

Our new home be this place now.

How long will it take?

Before I know if
we can stay in your country, sir?

The processing can
take a number of weeks...

..or months.

Mum?

Mum!

I need an example of onomatopoeia.

(CAMERA SHUTTER)

Fuck off! Get out!
You can't be barging in here!

Ma!

Isaiah, I hope you are not sending
naked pictures of yourself to girls.

No, I'm not. It's against the law,
You will get into trouble.

No it's not
and I'm not sending anything!

Now tell him to get out! Isaiah,
you are breaking the curfew again.

I need a life. I'm meeting people.
Hm, who? Who are you meeting?

Friends.

You will get us all into trouble.

Please, Ma.

I have to work tonight. Help Oba
with his homework and you can go.

But be back before curfew, okay?
Yeah. Thanks, Ma.

Go on, then.

I need to use
onomatopoeia in a sentence,

like the word sounds
like what it does.

Ah yeah, I know what it means.
The bomb goes 'BOOM'!

(BOOM)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Fuck.

(PRAYING)

(TWEETING)

Is the scene preserved?

Get whatever S.H.O. is on to give us
as many uniforms as he can spare.

I'll let the Super know.

Don't tell me
you were in there on your own.

Go on.

(SIRENS)

Stop looking at me. I'm alright.

The Super is coming down now.
Got a few of the hacks on the way.

I can look after them if you want.

Looking for a job in
the Press Office now, are you Fitzy?

It's all set up in there for you.
What's that building there?

I think it's something
got to do with the incinerator.

It's a Water Treatment Plant.

And that?

It's a Direct Provision Centre
for refugees.

(BEEP BEEP)

It's the only time in the day
there's no waiting in line

for the washing machine.

But you were
working the night, Abeni.

When do you sleep?

I can't sleep.

I can't ever sleep.

What is wrong, Samir?

The world is a bad place, Abeni.

Isaiah! You dey kolo!
It is daytime already, get up!

Shu'gba!

You did not even clean, butty.

Ma, you see this? All the Guards!

I know. Come away from the window,
Oba. Someone has been killed.

Isaiah!

Please, come away from the window.

Do you think it's
someone from here, Mum?

I hope not.

Check the buses for dash cam CCTV.

Alright, Inspector?
How are you, Mackin.

How long are here? Since early.
Just got the call after breakfast.

Thanks be to fuck.
It's hard to eat after seeing that.

What's the story with the body?
Has she been ID-ed?

No, not yet. No ID on her.
She's a black girl. Looks foreign.

Inspector Clouseau here.
She asked, didn't she? Smart mouth.

No phone?

No phone, no bank cards, nothing.
Just an empty wallet inside there.

She was robbed? Except
there's money inside in her jacket.

She looks like she's been battered.

A shot of that for me?

Cig? Super's here.

Don't ask me too much,
I'm not long here.

Was it done here?

No.

It hasn't rained, there's
nothing to wash the blood away.

She was moved.

Her primary wound was still bleeding
a little when she was left here.

She wasn't dead?

(INDISTINCT POLICE CHATTER)

Super? I've a press conference
in 20 minutes, any updates for me?

We're getting cameras off buses,

but hopefully someone
in the Direct Provision Centre

across the way knows who she is.
What can you give me?

Resources are tight.

We'll see.
Yeah? They're always tight.

I'd like Detective Fitzgerald
on board for this one.

The dash cams from the buses
will be with us this afternoon.

We driving?
Sure, why the hell not.

Come on, if you're coming.

The manager's name is Wayne...
Sorry, I can't find it.

Where the hell is it? Sorry.

Where the hell is it?

Deevy. Wayne.

Wayne Deevy, how are you?

Jaysus, it's mad. Unbelievable.

Your colleague was
filling me in about the bus stop.

You think it could be one of ours?
Is anybody missing?

Jaysus, I don't think so.
Hopefully not. We'll go inside.

Have you CCTV on the front gate?

Yeah. No, I mean there was. It's not
working now. It's supposed to work.

Same as yourselves,
cutbacks, you know?

Any other CCTV on the premises?

Ah, yeah. And on the grounds?

Ah, it's in places, you know.

It's not 100 percent,
but you know yourselves.

Now.

Eve, you couldn't
get us some teas and coffees?

Eve's from Syria.
I think she's a Kurd.

Not 100 percent certain,
but I think she is.

You want to come into the office?
Yeah? A bit more privacy. Dean?

(BUZZER)

You couldn't give us
the room a minute there, Dean?

How many people are staying here?

Eh, 67, more or less.

What do you mean, more or less?

Well, I think it's 67.
I mean, it was last week.

But sometimes
some of them are sent home

and there's other replacing them,
so more or less, you know?

Esme?

Esme?

I have some photos here to show you.

You might find them distressing.

(KNOCKING) Esme?

Esme?

Do you know who it is?

Yeah, I do.

It's Esme. Esme Lukasa.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

There's that bogey fuck
from before in the red top.

Just look at him.
He keeps watching everything.

You okay?

Will you do me a favour?

Go down to the car?
There's painkillers in my bag.

Wesh, Izzy?

How are you, my friend?

Good?

I still can't believe it, Samir.

What are they still doing here?

Tomorrow they come to talk to us.
Why? What for?

Because they are the moustache.
They're fucking cops.

In Algeria, you always have a small
man who loves to be a big man.

Les Moustaches.

"Who are you? What do you do?
Yeah you, what do you do?"

"Fuck you! Fuck you man! Eat shit!"

I swear, Wallah.
The whole world, Les Keuf.

You have money? No problem,
they don't come near you.

You have nothing? Putain.

Remember.

See you later Samir.
Yeah, see you later.

(BUZZER)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Yeah, the computer
keeps crashing on us.

So, I mean,
we have the DVD back up system,

but I don't know
what you'll find there.

It's not catalogued at all?
Eh, not really, no.

How far does it go back?
Usually about seven days.

But with the system we have being
erratic, you could be missing days.

I need them all. Game ball.
I'll have it ready for you soon as.

If you want I can have
a gander at it myself,

just see if there's anything fucking
peculiar on it, anybody acting odd

or what have you, that you mightn't
know 'cause you don't know them.

If you can get that
to me as soon as you can.

Or any logbooks you might have.
Yeah. Tomorrow. First thing.

You alright, Ma?

I am sorry that I cannot
give you a proper house, Isaiah.

What are you talking about? We're
grand. Who needs a house anyways?

I did not think we would be in this
place for so long. It is not a home.

Ma.

The Guards are
going through her room.

What?

What is it?

I kind of sent Esme photos
on my phone for a laugh.

Ma, I was only having
a laugh with her though.

The naked pictures?

No! They weren't naked!
I had a towel around me.

Ma, I swear, I didn't do anything!
The pictures will be on her phone?

Yeah.

Did Esme send you pictures?

Show me.

Show me!

Show me the ones you sent to her.

No, Ma. Show me!
Ma, I don't... Isaiah!

Ma I can't, I don't have them.
They'd be on her phone though.

Should I say anything
to the Guards if they ask?

No.

Were you sleeping with Esme?
No! No, I wasn't!

Ma, I swear, I didn't do anything.
It was all jokes.

It is important to
be polite to the Garda.

But we must not
be associated with this.

They could send us back to Nigeria
if they think we are undesirable.

What? How?

By plane, stupid.

I'm more Irish than I am Nigerian.
Oba doesn't even remember the place.

They could send us back
if they so wish.

There's nothing you want to tell me?

Look at me.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(DING)

'Til we trawl through CCTV,
this all the information we have.

Her phone is missing,
but if we establish a number,

we can ascertain who she was
in contact with before she died.

I want us searching on social media.
Let's find out about her life.

(CAFETERIA CHATTER)

What's the special? Lasagne.

I would like a T-bone steak.
A big one.

Do you want the lasagne?

Do you want peas and veg?

Now son, what'll you have?
I will have a Big Mac.

What's the pasta? Bolognese.

Will you have chips with that?

Samir. Samir do you have a sec?

I am waiting for my T-bone steak.
Huh?

We're stuck for translators.
Can you give us a dig out?

What will you pay me? What?
No, no, just to help the Guards.

Just if you're needed. People
might think they're being deported.

Everybody knows it's about Esme.

You speak most
African languages, don't you?

I speak Arabic and French.
Yeah, that's it. Good man.

How are you. I've another translator
sorted there if you need it. Who?

What, your man in red?
Yeah, Samir. From Algeria.

Where is Mackin?

Jesus Christ.
Niamh, go and see what he's doing.

What have you got?
Lasagne or pasta.

Can I have the both?

What? You're fucking eating?

It's free!

We're waiting on the lunch
anyway to talk to the foreigners.

Do you want dessert?
What have you got?

Crumble with custard.
Go on. Fuck it.

I'll be over to you now in a minute.

There's three of you here?
This one room? Mm-hmm.

How many years?

Eight years. And how long
has Esme been your neighbour?

She has been here
approximately one year.

Do you know if
she had a boyfriend or...?

Not here. Somewhere else?

No, I mean, she did not
have a boyfriend that I knew of.

I did not know her very well.

Isaiah, is it?

Did you know Esme?

Yeah.

It's alright. It's not
a crime to know someone, okay?

He's doing his
Leaving Certificate next year.

He studies mostly.
He wants to go to college.

What was she like?

She was cool.

She was real, like.

Innocent, or something.

Even though she'd been through...
You know what I mean?

When you have come to this country,
you go through many hardships.

When was the last time you say Esme?

Maybe a couple of days ago.

Do you know if she was here
the night before last?

Did you see her that night, Isaiah?
Isaiah went out.

With his friends.

But he was back before curfew.

Curfew? What time is curfew?

You have to be in before ten.
Ten!?

You ever break curfew, Isaiah?

You must do. I know I would.

(CHATTER)

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

Do you know who Esme
would've been friendly with?

Not personally,
but I used to see them around...

So she was from West Africa?
Yeah, she was from Nigerian.

I did not know her so well.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

I'd see her sometimes,
but I did not know her.

She was like a ghost.
She was not around.

What did you say?

I said she was like a ghost. She was
always going out and coming in.

I don't know what else to tell you.

Sorry, I just need to grab somebody.

Samir, my brother. Later, my friend.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Later.

Hey!

Hold up there.

Hey.

What?

We're just walking.

No, you are following me.

You're storming off there.

I'm not paid to be a translator.

And translate
stupid questions about Esme.

Oh, you know Esme yourself?

I'm asking a question.

No. No, you didn't know her?

No, I'm not answering your question.

Don't walk away from me.

It's a simple question.

I will not answer a question.
You look at me all the time.

All the time I see you
watching me like I'm a bad man.

Well you're acting very suspicious.
What? How!?

What were you doing
the night before last?

So, you're refusing
to answer my questions.

I answer the question,
but not from you.

You're not going
to answer my questions?

Did you know her?
Did you know the victim?

(GRUNTS) Fucking bollocks!

(DISTANT BANG)

What is wrong with you?
The woman smiles at you

and you tell her everything.
I didn't say anything.

You act like you know Esme.
Like she was your girlfriend.

You fucking prick! That's assault!
You're getting done, now!

Fitzer! Calm! He assaulted me.

CALM! HE'S the one
that wants to stay calm!

I need you, please,
to calm down and cooperate.

Ma! Ma! They're arresting Samir!

What are you doing!?
Will you get off of him! Isaiah!

Step back!
Get off him, leave him alone!

Step the fuck back, you! CALM!

Alright! He assaulted me!

What are you hiding here, huh!?

Oh, what have we got here, huh?

Look at what the pervert has here.

THAT'S ENOUGH!

Take off the cuffs.

I'm going to take
the handcuffs off now.

If you could remain calm.

I mean, what kind of fucker
has this shit under his bed, huh?

Ebony babes?

This is your thing, is it?

Pervert.
For God's sake, leave it.

I'm sure you've worse on your phone.

Get out.

You alright Samir?
That man's a fucking animal.

Are you okay?

Go with your mother, brother. Go.

Are you sure?

You know we're next door
if you need anything.

Thank you, son.

I'm not a pervert.

I'm not even a man.

How many times have I
asked them to fix the mould?

Hm!? Kilode!

How many times!?

It is the same for Samir,
for all of us.

How long are we going to wait
for them, Isaiah? Huh? How long?

Always waiting.

Not allowed to work.
Not allowed to cook.

I cannot breathe.

Wait here.

Now, that's the most
of them done, I think.

There's another 12
waiting to be talked to,

but most of them are the Rohingya,

I'd say you won't
get a lot out of them.

Well, we'll be the judge of that.
Yeah, we want to talk to everybody.

How are you getting on with
that CCTV? Oh yeah, it's on the way.

The only thing is there's
a slight issue with the logbook.

I need to talk to you about
the condition of the rooms upstairs.

What?
The mould is back in the room.

On the ceiling. All over the
windows. We cannot breathe in there.

The air is bad.

The air is bad?
Are you for real, Abeni?

Bringing that up with me now? Today?

Do you think today has been any
worse for you than it's been for us?

Oh my God, are you having me on?
Look, I have a situation here.

I ask you all the time.
There's nothing I can do.

It is not acceptable.
Your units are the oldest ones.

You need to get rid of the mould.
The room is damp. It's not.

You need to replace the windows.

We cannot live like this.
I'm not replacing the windows Abeni.

I know you don't experience
damp where you come from,

but I told you before,
it's fairly common place in Ireland.

What do you mean,
"Where she comes from?"

I mean she's not from here,
she's from Nigeria, I think.

It's not being racist. You're a
fucking prick Wayne, you know that?

You actually are. Break it up.
I'm not doing anything.

I'm just talking to him. Alright
guys let's bring it down a notch.

See the shit I deal with?

Deal with? You don't deal
with anything! Isaiah, stop!

You get your fat fucking cheque
and you fuck off!

This place is a fucking kip,
d'you know that!? It fucking is!

Alright, that's enough! STOP!

Abeni, I'll send somebody
up later today. Okay?

Jeez, you get no gratitude with
some of them. It's a full time job.

You should not
have gotten angry with him.

Ma, I'm not going to
let him talk to you like that.

Yes, but it's different.
You are a man.

You are, and
it could have been trouble.

I didn't do anything anyway.
You have to control your temper.

I did, though,
I didn't punch him, did I?

Hitting people is no solution, boy.

I was trying to explain it
to you before I was interrupted.

I was going through the logbook
and in all the rigmarole...

I have a new lad I'm training
here for night time security...

He's off sick, the thing is.
Will you just get on with it.

Yeah. So the thing is,
another girl didn't clock in.

What do you mean? I mean
another girl didn't come back.

Ma!

Are you okay, my little man?

It will be all fine.

This place is a shithole.
Yes, Isaiah.

It is a shithole.

Ma! I mean this country.

In every country you have good and
bad people. You have to be careful.

I'm 17, Ma. I can handle myself.

You have to be careful.

You have the Guards,
and now you have made an enemy.

Who? Wayne?

He's harmless.
He's not harmless.

Flora Adeyemi.

Age?

20, it says here.
Where was she from?

Eh, Nigeria. Where in Nigeria?

Eh, Benin City.

Where was Esme from?

Nigeria.

Can you look up and
see if it was the same place?

It was...

..Benin City as well.

(KNOCKING)
You were looking for me?

Yeah, but...
Should I come back later?

Yeah, will you? Thanks.

I don't understand how it seems this
girl hasn't been seen for 2 days...

..and we're only
getting the information now?

There's two log-in books. Two?
Yeah. I don't understand.

Normally there's only one, but
the main one was lost temporarily,

for about a week or two. Well, it
wasn't lost but it couldn't be found

someone put it somewhere.
So, we were using the second one,

when we couldn't find the first one.
But then we found the first one.

But people were still using the
second one 'cause it was still there

even if they couldn't
find the first one, so.

As I was saying, eh, there was
a new security lad in last night,

and he must've been
using the wrong book

which is why it seems
Flora was in when she wasn't.

Was she friends with Esme?
I can't be sure.

I want to keep this
tight for now, okay?

I don't want the rest of the team
knowing about this girl. Okay. Why?

'Cause I don't want it to leak out.
I don't want anyone to know.

Not even Cole.

You think she's
connected to the victim.

I don't know,
but she's unaccounted for.

I don' t know if they were friends
or what, but we have to assume

they're connected.
Ideally, she shows up

and we can see if she's a person
of interest, but if she's a witness,

I don't want her getting spooked,
so, keep it tight for now.

(TWEETING)

Tea? No.

(WHISTLING)

Is he hungry?

No.

But you can feed him if you wish.

Not too much.

He's a greedy bird.

Thanks.

Tea!?

Will that not scald him?
No. It is cold.

What, he likes tea?

He likes mint tea.

Maybe it's sugar.

(WHISPERING)
Say "Salam." "Salam."

"Salam." Easy, easy.

He's a beaut.

It's time to sleep.

Greedy bird.

I'm heading into town later.
D'you want anything?

No.

D'you want to come?

I'm okay. Thank you, brother.

Alright.

Look, I'll talk to you, yeah?

I'll talk to you.

Are you ready, Oba?

You are taking too long in there.

Don't come in!

I AM coming in.

Oba.

What have you got? Show me.

Oba, what is this?

It's nothing.

Oh, sorry.

The windows for the mould.

Just giving them the once over.

I'll be in and out.

It's only a temporary fix,

but a bit of silicone
should do it for the moment.

I'll be back in a sec.

(SILENT MUTTERING)

This won't come off now.

I'm sorry.

Who told you about this?

I remember.

You don't remember.

Isaiah told you about this.

You don't have to write
my number anywhere on you.

We are not on the boat.

But if I die, they can ring you.

God forbid,
you are not going to die.

You are safe, kekere.

I won't let anything happen to you.

Right? Give me a second.

Any luck with her phone?
Nothing.

What about social media?
Not much.

Found her on Instagram.

She used to post
every couple of days,

but nothing this week.
That's not good.

Gotcha.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(CLUB MUSIC)

(CORONER) Epidural hematoma

caused by trauma
to the temporal bone.

She’d have been
stunned at first, concussed.

Between attack and time of death,
I’d estimate three to four hours.

There are various other wounds,

some fresh bruising
along the forearm.

Could she have been saved
if she was taken to a hospital?

Maybe.

There was recent
vaginal and anal sexual activity.

Sorry, my blood sugar's low.

Rape?

Inconclusive.

The wounds she has aren't consistent
with typical defensive wounds.

No semen. No DNA.

She looks so young.

On that.
So, I can carbon date the eyes,

but from the teeth
and the size of the skull,

I'm adjusting my estimation.
Mid-teens. I'd guess 17?

17? Mm.

She was just a kid.

(DOORBELL)

Sorry,
I didn't check it back in yet.

Can you not call or text
like a normal person?

You don't answer your texts.

Sexy PJs. I like.

Well, you're not getting any,
if that's what you're thinking.

I'm just checking in.

See what the story is with you.
I thought you were dead.

Yeah. On purpose.

I had a rough day.

Yeah, I know.

That black bird was done in.

Can you not call her that? What?

"That black bird."

Sorry.

That's her?

Yeah.

You're making a lot of noise.

Samir?

How was the party?

You stink of beer, my friend.

It's better not to drink too much.

Or smoke.

Give us a toke on that.

In another life,
you could be my son, Izzy.

Nah.

What are you doing out here anyways?

I'm waiting for
the women to get dressed.

I'm like the peeping Tom.

Samir.

I can't sleep. I can never sleep.

Does that not help, no?

Not really.

It's all fucked up, isn't it?

When life is turning upside down,

how do you know that
the side you are used to

is better than the one to come?

That's a cool one. Who said that?

Rumi.

He was a poet.

A wise man.

I think he smoked a lot of hashish.

Go. Before your mother wakes up.

What's your man?
The one that said that?

Rumi.

When life is turning upside down...

..how do you know that
the side you are used to

is better than the one to come?

Nice one.

Have a nice dream, bro.
