Original subtitles

Do you know who it is?

Yeah, I do.

It's Esme. Esme Lukasa.

They could send us back to Nigeria

if they think we are undesirable.

Were you sleeping with Esme?

No. No, I wasn't.

Gotcha.

Another girl didn't clock in.

What do you mean?

Flora Adeyemi.

I don't understand

how it seems this girl hasn't been seen for two days

and we're only getting the information now.

Did you know her? Did you know the victim?

Hey!

This your thing, is it? Pervert.

Samir.

Inspector Rooney, this, of course,

is only very much a preliminary assessment.

I understand.

So, what are we looking at here?

This would be a common torture method used in Algeria.

Beating of the soles repeatedly.

This would be Mr. Harrachi's experience

with the police in his own country.

Were you aware the deceased had mental health issues?

I was not.

Some of the residents have expressed concern

about Detective Sergeant Fitzgerald's manner

and behavior towards Mr. Harrachi

and contend that this would've been a contributory factor

in his suicide.

Did you find Detective Sergeant Fitzgerald's use of force

to be excessive?

No. I did not.

Go on, you good thing.

Shut up, Macken, will you? You're a tool.

Look at this now.

There's a good bit coming up. Watch.

When was the last time you got one of them?

She wouldn't know where to find it.

You do know you're all looking at a murder victim?

Watch this now.

Here's the money shot.

Wait for it.

Jesus. She's one hungry young one.

What do you call that when you muck into a young one's mouth

and she kisses you?

A snowball.

A snowball?

It's actually full of potassium.

Is it actually full of potassium?

Brainbox puts it on his bran flakes.

Here we go again.

Youse are a fucking disgrace.

The lot of youse. Do you know that?

This is homework, Inspector.

Open the blinds, Macken.

I'm surprised at you, Ben. The others are dogs.

Tell her what you were saying about the potassium, Brains.

Any luck with the buses?

No, not yet.

I'm going through them all for the two days before,

and I can go back further then.

Look for any possible route she might have taken.

Listen up.

Isaiah Bankole, who you all know from the video --

That video doesn't prove anything.

Is he not getting reefed in for questioning?

- Put a bit of pressure on him? - No.

We don't have enough evidence to arrest him.

And I want this handled sensitively.

That's you out of a fucking job anyway, Fitzer.

Brains is on the CCTV for the buses and surrounding areas.

You might need to divvy up that work.

So, Macken, you can help him go through the tapes.

And I want footage from the whole area.

We need factual information to find out what happened,

how she died, and who did it.

And evidence.

Go on.

Listen.

Thanks for backing me up... with the suits.

I owe you one.

Oba!

Oba's with us.

Tell Mum I'm not hungry.

Oba, here!

Where's Oba?

He's outside playing football.

He needs to eat.

He said he wasn't hungry.

It's disgusting anyways.

The Garda want to talk to you.

About Esme.

I didn't do anything.

I will be with you.

Oba.

Your mother wants you to stay with me.

She has to do something.

Where are they?

It's okay. It's fine.

She said for me to get you food.

Come on. They won't be long.

But where are they?

They are downstairs.

I want to wait here.

But you have to eat.

Okay, Oba.

Okay.

I think I need a lawyer.

If I was charging Isaiah with an offense,

I would've arrested him.

We'd be having this conversation at the station.

Then you'd need a lawyer.

But all I'm asking

is for Isaiah to account for his relationship with Esme.

What relationship with Esme?

He did not have any relationship with her.

- He has j-- - Mum.

I did.

My son, you did not.

He did not.

He has many friends, girls and boys.

She was only one.

What is this?

It's from CCTV.

Isaiah, I need to ask you about this.

It's not right.

It's just not right.

It's not fucking right, showing my ma all this.

Isaiah, I need your mother here

because technically you're underage.

If you're more comfortable answering ques--

I'm not leaving.

Isaiah.

Isaiah, look at me.

I know you are not a murderer.

I know you are a good boy.

Tell them.

I didn't do anything. I wouldn't do anything.

I liked Esme.

I really did.

Ma, I liked Esme.

That's all.

Mum, where were you?

-What happened? -It's okay, Oba.

It's all okay.

What are you doing here?

We wanted to wait here for you.

Have you not eaten?

We wanted to stay here, Abeni.

Isaiah, bring your brother to the canteen for food.

I'm not hungry.

Please, Oba, do as I say.

I want you to eat.

Isaiah.

Right. I'll do it. Let's go.

I'm sorry, Abeni. He wouldn't go with me.

Why are you trying to blame my son?

Why?

I have to give them the CCTV, Abeni.

It's not my fault what's on it.

For Isaiah, they are both children.

They are young.

But you should be talking to him.

Ma?

Go to bed, Isaiah.

Fitzer, Niamh.

Close the door.

All right.

Have we any updates on Flora's case?

I need a separate form for her phones for Crime and Security.

What about Department of Justice?

-They give you a steer, Fitzy? -Nothing of any use.

They told me to contact this woman.

Some migrant-rights group for foreigners.

A Nigerian woman called Mama something.

She's ex-brasser herself, so she knows the scene.

-Do you want me to talk to her? -No.

You know and I know that you went OTT

on that poor Algerian guy.

I didn't know he'd been tortured.

You didn't need to know.

A lot of these people have been traumatized.

That's why we need to handle it softly softly.

It's why I'll talk to this woman, all right?

I want you to get a warrant for every bit of their CCTV

and their hard drives.

After what Abeni Bankole said,

I want to see if there's any footage recovered.

And I know that prick of a manager is bogey --

I know. Softly softly.

Go on.

Do we have an address for this woman?

-Mama? Yeah. -Is that her real name?

No. It's some African name, but --

Jesus Christ. Sorry. I need to wee. I can't hold it.

I'll see you in the car.

Jen.

What are you doing here?

I'm at the drugs conference with the brass.

What? I'm not stalking you.

I know. I know.

Sorry. It's just the job, you know?

Shit. I really need to get this.

And I really need to wee.

Go on. Multitask.

Hey, do you want to go on the range sometime?

I'll call you.

I just ran into Matt there when I was running for a piss.

- Mortified. . Giller?

He must be here for the drugs conference.

Why didn't you fucking tell me he was here today?

Why didn't you read your e-mails?

Relax.

I'm sure he found your piss dance very endearing.

So, any ideas?

Yeah. Max?

What about a shampoo that didn't sting your eyes

when it got in them?

Okay.

Who's next, guys?

Okay. Molly.

- I think -- - You never pick me!

Oba, I'll come to you now, okay? Molly.

This is all fucking stupid ideas -- all of them!

Oba, outside now!

What's the story with you acting the bollocks in school?

You're not getting bullied, are you?

No.

Oba.

Leave me alone.

- Hey, Izzy. - All right, pal.

I got it, man.

-Got what? -They're letting me stay.

I'm gonna be 100 percent Irish.

-That's great news, Mo. -I'm moving out, man.

I'm gonna get my own crib, gonna be having parties.

Get myself a fucking fridge, man.

-You're legend. -I'll talk to you later.

Right. Wait. Mo, when are you leaving?

How come Mo gets to stay?

We've been here longer than him.

No one's gonna kick us out of this country, Oba.

We're gonna own this place someday.

-Oba! -Go on, Messi. Go on.

Don't tell Mum about school, will you, now?

-I won't. -Thanks, bro.

This is totally out of order.

It's a court-ordered warrant. Take it up with the judge.

I've done nothing but cooperate with youse.

-How does this make me look? -Like you've something to hide?

-Yeah, exactly. -Well, it must be a relief

to be able to vindicate your good name.

This isn't funny, you know.

Hey. The food's not started yet.

Just getting bread.

Katerina, have you seen my ma anywhere?

No.

If you see her, can you tell her I was looking for her?

Yeah.

It's not a laughing matter.

Lis-- Listen.

I'd appreciate if you got the gear back to me in one piece.

What's so fucking funny? Nothing better to do, have you?

It's a free country, pal. Don't sweat it.

We'll be in touch.

Fuck.

All right, little fella?

Okay, ladies -- and gents --

we're closing up in half an hour.

So no long washes.

Why are you closing so early today?

The electrician needs to look at the washing machines

or something.

I don't know. Okay?

All right, Ma?

You're not answering your phone.

I didn't hear it.

Okay. Closing up now. That's it. Let's go.

The clothes are still wet.

That's why I told you before you put them in --

Look, Abeni. I can give you 10 minutes.

-That's the best I can do. -Fifteen.

All right. Fifteen, but then I have to close up shop.

Twenty.

Twenty.

Go on.

I'm sorry. I was gonna tell you, but...

She was your girlfriend.

No.

You must go for the test to see what you have.

- I don't have anything. - Maybe.

But maybe Esme has given it to you.

I don't want to talk about it.

It is too late for that now.

You have to get a test for the sexual disease.

Okay?

Ma?

Do you know what happened to her?

No, son, I don't.

A landlord cannot increase your rent by more than 4%.

It's the law.

We have real difficulty getting the residents to talk to us.

They associate the guards with deportation.

I'm not interested in that.

My understanding is that a man committed suicide

in the direct provision center

after being questioned by the police.

Yeah.

I'm very sorry that happened.

Sometimes in the police, you have officers

who think everyone they question is a suspect.

My approach will be different.

The police are still the police.

Can I ask if you've had any dealings with Flora Adeyemi?

No?

My concern is that she's some way connected

to the murder of Esme Lukasa and she might be scared.

I'm afraid I cannot help you.

Can I be honest with you?

None of my team or none of my senior officers

know that Flora is missing.

You know why?

I wanted to buy time.

I am different, Mama. I'll protect her.

And if she feels unsafe,

I'll do everything in my power to make sure that she's safe.

But if she's still missing tomorrow,

I have to release the information to the papers.

But I have this small window.

And if you find her before this window closes,

you will protect her?

Yes.

Sorry. Should I come back later?

Do you ever knock?

What do you want?

The mold.

Leave it.

You might want to give it a half an hour for them fumes.

Leave the window open, yeah?

Isaiah... I want you to study hard.

You need to go to college, get a good job,

have a different life.

A good life.

Then you'll have time for girls.

That's her.

This is Niamh.

She's the only other one that knows.

Wait here.

Come, Flora.

Flora, these women are gonna help you.

They're good women.

Tell her I-I no know what happen to Esme.

She said she doesn't know what happened to Esme.

Come.

I'm Jen. This is Niamh.

Hi, Flora.

Can you tell me what you're afraid of?

Flora, you don't have to be afraid of us.

Flora...they're gonna help you.

I fear...all the bad men.

All the bad people. They -- They try to cheat you.

They -- They try to hurt you.

And they -- And they make me do bad things.

They -- They beat me with a stick, a-and they wound me.

They burn me with cigar if I no do what they want me to do.

We're not gonna let them come back, Flora.

We'll put them in jail.

Them go come for me.

I go give them the money.

Why do you have to pay them money?

Them pay for me to come here.

My family pay, but they say it no reach.

Flora, I'll protect you, but I need your help me.

Do you understand?

How old are you, Flora?

Do you know what age she is?

She doesn't look 18 to me.

I'm going to have to tell Tusla about this

and get her some help.

But she's scared.

I know she's scared.

They have residential centers. They're safe.

It's 100 percent secure.

They put juju for my body.

Who go help me commot the juju?

She -- She said they put the bad spirit on her body.

That's Esme returning to the center at 1:00 a.m.

Over the past month, she's come in after midnight six times.

Some nights she doesn't come in at all.

She doesn't look too worried.

The night of her death, anyone else in after curfew?

Not through the front door.

But that's the only camera actually operating

on an external entry point.

What do you mean?

There's plenty of internal cameras,

but there's none to the rear of the building.

Could be too expensive to hook them up.

Most likely it's laziness.

There's whole chunks of internal CCTV missing by all accounts.

What's this?

This is one of the logbooks. This month's.

What's the story with it?

- Do they have to sign in? - Yeah.

There are seven nights, not consecutive,

where she didn't sign back in.

-And there's a penalty for this? -Yeah.

If a resident misses three days in a row,

they lose their place in the center.

The dates correlate with the CCTV?

Yeah, but that's hardly hard evidence.

I mean, your man Wayne's incompetent.

His records are shit. That's all that proves.

Well, I have saved the best till last.

Come on, will you?

You wouldn't notice, especially if you're fast-forwarding...

...but it's been edited.

And I checked the metadata, too, and the file's been altered.

Show us that again.

Watch the shadow in front of Wayne.

There.

Let's bring the fucker in.

How would you characterize your relationship with Esme Lukasa?

Professional.

Did you allow her to break curfew rules...

and otherwise give her preferential treatment

in return for sexual favors?

No.

Can you account for what appears to be

deliberately deleted material from your CCTV?

No.

What do you think we're doing here, Wayne?

I'm answering your questions.

Don't need a solicitor.

But I want it put on the record

that I'm answering these questions and being cooperative.

You're not.

I'd prefer if you'd answer them straight

so at the very least I can rule you out as a suspect.

Suspect, yeah?

The CCTV has been tampered with.

You know what I'm looking to do you for?

Withholding evidence and evidence tampering.

There's a case in there for you.

You'll lose your job.

Will I, yeah?

I'll ask you again, Wayne.

Can you account for what appears to be

deliberately deleted material from the CCTV?

Fucked if I know.

Is she all right?

She's scared.

You think she'll be able to talk to us about Esme at some point?

I hope so. Maybe in a couple of days.

All right, Gar.

Drive, will you?

What's the panic?

I'm on edge with all this bullshit.

You need to fucking relax.

Just drive, will you?

Open up the glove compartment there.

Go on. I have a little present for you.

Nice one.

That'll keep the wolf from the door.

You were saying some of the Syrians got their visas through?

Yeah. There's a gang of them. Mainly young fellas.

So they'll be looking for accommodation, then?

Pricks.

And they took my computers and everything.

Looking for the kiddie porn, are they?

Would you...

You wouldn't put it past them to fit you up, would you?

They're as bent as fuck.

It's the one thing you can count on.

You know what they say.

The jails are full of innocent men.

Doesn't sound like you're making much progress on this.

You let the manager go.

-I didn't have enough on him. -So why'd you bring him in?

I thought I could rattle him. He knows something.

So explain it to me.

I don't understand about the girl.

She's in with Tusla.

She's completely traumatized.

We can still talk to her.

This is how I want to play it.

All right.

But I need you to get a handle on this, Jen.

-Dad? -Yes, Amira?

What do you want?

You cannot be in here. This is our apartment.

I'm calling the police.

This is our flat.

We're only after renting it.

You must to get out, please, Mister.

Maybe ring the free phone number or something,

I'm not sure, but we're after signing the lease.

-You must to leave. -Sorry, buddy.

One, two nights,

you're gonna have to get all this stuff out of here.

That's the best I can do, mate.

Cute daughters he had, all the same.

The old Muslims don't like you looking at their women, do they?

Or drinking.

Nice and fucking legal.

All right, Gar. What's the story?

How many we fit in here?

About nine?

I think we would do 12, minimum.

So, we'll begin the grand tour.

First bedroom in here.

Bathroom.

Hot shower.

One bathroom? Yep.

Another bedroom in here.

A bigger bedroom in here.

All the mod cons.

Microwave, fridge, cooker, plugs for your phones.

And, two beds over here, lads, by the windows.

Nice bit of fresh air. I'd call dibs on them.

Because when we get the color television -- digital --

um, a bit of television always helps me get to sleep.

So, here's the key.

Don't lose it.

Feel free to make a few copies for yourselves,

and, I'll leave you gentlemen to get settled in.

Congratulations, fellas.

Pause. Pause that video.

Dunnie, hit pause.

Roll it back a few seconds.

Pause.

Abeni Bankole.

This is from one of the routes on our crime scene?

Yeah, from one of the nights

the victim was out of the center past curfew.

Right.

I want us to review all bus footage we have,

but focus where that bus stops, the stop Abeni's getting off at.

Let's find out what's in that area.

Are you okay, Sweetie?

Thirsty.

Okay. I'll get you some water.

You will not go out.

Promise me.

I promise.

I know it is hard for you

and you want to go out with your friends to parties and dancing.

I don't even go to parties that much.

That is what young people do.

They meet other young people and they go to parties.

You need to do this.

I am sorry that I have to ask you to stay in all the time.

It's okay, Ma. I understand.

I'm going to ask them can I work more daytime hours.

And then I will be looking for a new job.

Maybe I would like to be a limo driver.

Or drive a digger.

Go on.

Mum?

Be safe.

Always.

I am just going to the shop, Dean.

Yeah. Go on. I didn't see you.

Yesterday she was lying on the street.

Out there.

And now...

Where is she?

Pshh.

She's gone.

Cig?

Cue her up there, Brains.

The bus drops her off by Tara Street.

With the time and date,

I checked with other cameras in the area and got this.

Due to the construction on the far side of the river,

the cameras here are offline.

We lose her here, but we'll begin by checking the cameras

on surrounding streets.

Okay.

And Brains has just found...

Two days earlier, same route, same time of night.

It's Esme Lukasa.

Well done, Ben.

What do you think?

I think we have a lead.

Abeni, my darling. How are you?

Good. All is good, Marvellous.

Thank God.

You are a miracle worker.

I cannot believe it.

Were you not a cleaner in Nigeria?

No.

What did you work as when you lived there?

I did lots of jobs.

But you were a teacher, no?

Yes.

I worked as a teacher in a junior secondary school.

Hey, hey.

I think you have found your true calling.

So very particular.

I have offended you.

I did not mean to offend you, Abeni.

I meant that only to give you a compliment.

I am sure if you were a teacher, you were the best,

most hardworking, punctual teacher in the whole country.

Do we have enough sheets?

Yes.

I will have all these ironed now.

But we are running low on washing powder.

There's none under the sink?

No.

I'll give you money.

I left the receipt and change from before on the table.

You keep the receipt.

I will reimburse you, my dear.

Would you like a cup of tea, Marvellous?

I am making one.

I do not drink tea in the evening.

Otherwise, I can never sleep.

Some of these rooms need cleaning.

Marvellous?

Yes, my darling.

My son is missing me at nighttime.

I was thinking maybe I could work more for the daytime.

You want to work during the daytime?

It's much busier during the daytime, Abeni.

You would prefer to work the daytime?

If that is possible.

Of course.

For my best cleaner...

...I will ask.

Okay?

At ease. At ease.

Go on. Sit back down. You're having your break.

Go on. Sit. Sit.

Is there any biscuits left?

Could I have a cup of tea?

I will make you a cup.

Nah. Nah. Sit. I won't have one.

Go on. Sit.

Or will I?

Nah. I won't.

Marvellous was saying there you were wanting to change to days.

I have a son.

Oba.

And Isaiah.

That's no problem, Abeni.

It's no problem at all.

I could eat these all day.

I heard Isaiah was questioned there about poor Esme.

Had a little thing with her, did he?
