Original subtitles

Is there anything you can tell me about Esme?

I did not know her very well, and I don't know who killed her.

She knows something, all right.

She was too scared to talk.

I am chasing a possible lead.

To do so, I'll need surveillance

on Esme's neighbor, Abeni Bankole.

Go on.

But not 24/7. We're not made of money.

She was in with Abeni.

You think she's talking to her?

What is it?

He's a dangerous fucker.

You break such a powerful curse,

and you will spend eternity in hell

-No. -...with the demons.

Please, no.

I want to check on her.

Do not say to Benjamin.

What have they done to you, child?

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known

that anyone who fled to thy protection,

implored thy help, or sought thine intercession

was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence... I fly unto thee...

...O Virgin of virgins, my mother...

...to thee do I come, before thee I stand,

sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions,

but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.

We have two fragmentary routes for Abeni and Esme.

Now, this is a commute,

so they've taken these routes together more than once.

Route one has them at Butt Bridge,

however, this is where we lose them.

Now, Route two, it leaves them near Connolly Station,

so have loads of footage for here.

It then takes them down Talbot Street.

But again, we can't establish a destination.

Anytime there's a gap in coverage

with the subjects unsighted, it's problematic for us,

just given the volume of people in the area.

Detective Inspector Matt Gill and his lads from drugs

are going to give us a dig-out with the surveillance.

Matt?

Just remember that the people she might be associated with

or be working for, they could be heavy enough.

And they might have form.

So just to be aware of that.

That said, she should be pretty handy to cover.

But keep the coverage loose.

We don't want to spook her.

I said hoo-fucking-ha!

You never seen that movie?

Al Pacino was in it.

Fucking great movie.

Fucking hell, am I after falling off the fucking wagon!

Am I right, brother?

Yeah.

I forgot something!

You know what, brother?

This white is serious fucking gear.

You know what I mean?

Every month is Christmas in Nigeria.

Do you remember when we used to dance like this

every night in Lagos?

Before you were married.

Hey. You all right, babe?

What?

Yeah. No. Go back to sleep, darling.

You having a bit of a nightmare, were you?

Yeah.

Hi, Abeni.

Hey, Nina. Where is Marvellous?

Fucking Benjamin.

I want to have a baby.

You want to have a baby.

Now?

I want to have a baby with you, Benjamin.

I already have too many children, Marvellous.

I cannot afford to have any more children.

I cannot afford another wife.

You will need to find yourself a husband.

Where will I find a husband?

Who will take me?

The world is a big place, Marvellous.

Don't tell me you cannot find a man

who will give you his seed to make a baby.

I can write him a recommendation.

I know what you're thinking, Marvellous.

You're thinking I will leave my wife and children

and make you wife number one.

You don't know what I'm thinking.

What are you thinking?

I am thinking...

...you should come back to bed.

I am not giving you...

...a baby.

Abeni, what are you doing?

I am emptying the rubbish.

No. You can't do this when there are customers.

In the morning is best.

Hey. Oi. Who made you bossy?

You're not the boss, yeah?

Marvellous told me to look after the house.

I am the boss.

Abeni, put the bin back.

Abeni!

I'll help you, Abeni.

It's okay.

-It's okay, Toby. -Mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.

You don't have to help me, Toby. It is not your job.

You are a good woman, Abeni.

Thank you.

Do you smoke a lot?

I was smoking from when I was a boy.

Small boy.

You are allowed to smoke at home?

No.

No home.

I am not at my home for a long time.

You have no family?

I don't know.

No father.

No mother.

No brother.

You have Benjamin.

He is not my family?

He is my boss.

What about the girl, Toby?

In the room.

It is not my concern.

She's only a child.

It is not my concern.

Toby, please.

Please, Toby.

Okay, boss.

They are parking the car.

They will be here now.

Yes, boss.

Abeni, come here.

I dropped the plastic bag for the bin outside.

All the rubbish spilled out.

It will probably smell, so I can scrub the yard if you want.

You are very beautiful, Abeni...

...when you smile.

You could make a lot of money working here, Abeni,

but I would not ask you because I know you are a lady.

You are a moral person.

You are a mother.

You are a good worker.

I do what I am told.

Boss.

Hey. Nice.

So business is good, yeah?

Business is always good!

You?

You want to fuck the girls first, then we can talk?

You come.

Abeni is not one of the girls.

Go upstairs!

Toby will bring you the best that you want.

I want to talk to you about something, Abeni, but not now.

It will be something good for you and your family.

A big job. More money.

More responsibilities.

What do you think if I have such a job offer for you?

Here?

Not here.

I am happy here.

It would not be here.

Hope. Nina.

No more partying. Go back to working.

Okay, Hope. Maybe you can stay.

They are good girls.

They want to be...

- Hope, what do you want to be? - I want to be a doctor.

A doctor!

Sit. Sit.

Hey.

It come all the way from Brazil to Nigeria, direct.

Sometimes it come here first, direct.

Sometimes it go to Cote d'Ivoire first.

Sometimes it go to Guinea-Bissau first.

It's good.

We could do business.

Sure.

We could offer good money.

Maybe.

Please.

Don't say a word.

Be strong. Be brave.

I have to leave you.

But I swear to you, I am going to save you, my child.

Okay?

Okay?

When Jesus was in the desert

for 40 days and 40 nights, Toby...

the devil came to him.

And the devil took him to a very high mountain

and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their glory.

"All this I will give you", he said...

"if you will fall down and worship me."

And you know what Jesus said to him, Toby?

He said, "Away from me, Satan."

But I think it is too late for us, Toby.

-How are youse? -Hello.

Morning, campers. Rise and shine.

-All right. -Goodies?

Goodies is right.

Digestives.

Mikados, Hobnobs, chocolate Hobnobs, Swiss rolls,

fucking Jaffa Cakes -- everything.

So what's the craic? We having a party or something?

No. We're getting an audit this week.

Them ones from the department.

I thought it was only spot checks they do.

Yeah. But a little birdie told me otherwise.

Any activity last night, Dean?

Activity? What? What do you mean?

Anything strange. Anything out of the ordinary.

Anything I need to be made aware of.

No. Just the usual, you know?

How about the Bankoles?

Abeni Bankole?

Yeah. Abeni Bankole, the son, Isaiah -- anything unusual?

Midnight sojourns or what have you?

No. Nothing.

Why are you asking?

Because, Síle, we're getting an audit from the department today,

and I want to know if there's anything untowards

pertaining to certain individuals

whose surname begin with the fucking letter "B."

As in fucking Bankole.

Now...

Pancakes. There you go.

There's jam and maple syrup at the end there.

What's he doing?

They have pancakes.

Wayne.

The inspectors from the department are here.

There are issues.

The center is generally clean and well maintained.

There have been some complaints from residents, though,

about the variety of food.

But you'll always get a couple of whingers, you know?

Sorry. Go on. I interrupted you.

The food passes our requirements,

so that's not the issue.

The issue is, obviously, the death of a resident.

Admittedly not within the confines of the center.

The unfortunate, suicide of Mr. Harrachi there.

But there is also concern with a system

which allows for a missing girl to go unnoticed

for a number of days.

Absolutely. No. I appreciate that.

I'm fully in agreement with the concerns you've raised.

As you know, I've fully cooperated

with the Garda investigation.

A lot of these people, they're coming from lawless areas.

There's issues. Issues of mental health.

I'm not tarring them all with the same brush,

but sometimes criminality...

Yeah, the vast majority of them are law-abiding,

but there's no system bulletproof, you know.

I try my best, you know?

Because what's the use cribbing and moaning?

Those CCTV cameras should also have been replaced

once it was established there was a problem.

I appreciate that. Absolutely. I mean, they're all working now.

They're all checked and updated and what have you.

Delta 1, we have her on the bus now.

Roger that.

That's her bus just pulled up now.

Passengers getting off now.

I'm not seeing Abeni get off.

Niamh, can you go on foot?

Will do.

Nothing.

Would she have passed you?

She might have. I can't be certain.

Where is she?

Glynn, are you in position?

She hasn't come this way.

Okay. Alger, Cossie, where are you?

North side of Butt Bridge. Still unsighted here, Delta 1.

Delta 1, she must still be on that bus.

Fitzer, see if you can catch up with that bus.

Excuse me, sir. I missed my stop.

Can I get off here?

Please. I don't want to be late for work.

- Go on. - Thank you.

Delta 1, eyes on target. I have her.

Where?

I have her going into a premises on Sackville Place

by a set of steel gates.

Hold off for a moment.

Niamh, can you do a walk-by?

I can if you want, Jen,

but I think I might just stay where I am.

I think she nearly caught me there coming up behind her.

Roger that. Stand by.

Benjamin said to come here.

You can wait for him in the kitchen.

All right?

Aw, Wayne, where's your clubs? You're not using mine.

What the fuck, Gar?

What the fuck what?

What are you doing sending me that video?

Have you no sense of humor?

There's a murder investigation going on.

That video makes me look bad.

Does it, yeah?

I had nothing to do with that.

-I didn't say you did. -You know I didn't.

I don't know what you think I know or don't know.

But I know there was some funny goings-on

and that poor girl wasn't happy.

That's what I do know.

You're back on the sauce?

Fuck off and get your clubs.

Get one of your guys to do a walk-by, see what this place is.

Cossie, where are you now?

I'm at the corner of Marlborough Street and Sackville Place.

Right. Head up Sackville onto O'Connell.

And get us some visuals, will you?

Roger that.

Yeah, yeah. That's right. That place is all closed up.

Okay.

Yes, boss.

Listen to me.

I want you to go to the top of the building.

Some people have just walked by the taxi.

Go onto the roof

and see if you can see them on O'Connell Street.

Fuck that!

I don't mean to be giving out, but I'm stressed, you know?

Can you get rid of that video?

The video shows you all having a great time.

-It doesn't incriminate you. -I don't want to lose my job.

How'd you get the job?

-I done an interview. -And who did you interview for?

I don't know. Whatever the company is.

-And who owns the company? -I don't know.

Your man John. The lawyer. Your -- Your pal.

And there you have it.

What, do you own it?

It's owned by a company based on the Isle of Man

whose board of directors includes John,

and they're owned by an entity in Jersey.

Beyond that, I don't know.

The reason you have your job

is not down to some Mickey Mouse qualifications you have.

Now let me concentrate and hit this fucking ball.

Bollocks!

Look, is there any way you can erase that video?

There is, yeah.

I could press "erase." But I'm not going to do that.

Fuck it!

Well, why not?

Because it could be evidence in the murder inquiry, couldn't it?

Marvellous?

He is not here yet.

I will tell you when he gets here.

But I need to go home.

Go home, then.

They are still there, boss.

We will have to change the plan.

You come with me.

Benjamin said to wait here.

We go meet him.

Why?

We go.

-Hey, Toby. -Brother.

Wait here.

Let's go.

Let's go, Abeni!

Go into the shop.

Abeni, what are you doing here?

You come to get your hair done?

We're getting the hair. We're getting the nails.

We are going to be princesses.

We only need to find a prince.

My sister.

The problem is all the Irish men, they look like frogs.

Okay, boss.

Go. Go.

Wait.

I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother,

to thee do I come, before thee I stand,

sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions,

but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.

Hey, hey, hey! My two princesses.

Your chariot awaits. Come, come. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

Nina.

The boys are waiting for you.

Abeni, you wait here.

Follow me.

Get in the fucking van!

Where are Hope and Nina going?

Toby, where?

They're no good. He sell them.

So, as far as we know, this is the premises.

It's one or two buildings above and beside a closed-down bar.

Do we know who owns the premises?

The premises belong to a company called

Stygian Capital Management, a property fund manager.

There's two interconnecting buildings.

They own a number of similar fire-sale properties.

I have the number if you want me to make contact.

No. We don't want to alert them just yet.

For the warrant,

we'll go Criminal Law Amendment Act on this one.

-Not a Section 10? -No.

So you're saying 'cause we think it's a brothel, we're going in,

not because Esme Lukasa was probably battered in there?

That's a Section 10 in my book.

In your book, can we convince a judge this is where it happened?

On what basis?

No, we can't.

But if we observe the premises

and the punters going in and out, it looks like a brothel.

We can cite for Section 19 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act.

So how about you help us with that, Fitzer,

instead of giving us legal lectures?

Sorry, Inspector.

Of course,

there's always one way of finding out what's in there.

What are you saying, going in there as a punter?

Can't he make his excuses and leave, as the fella says?

Sure you look like a fucking guard.

I look like every other fat bastard looking for his hole

after a few on a night out.

So, what do you say, Inspector?

Fine. No fucking around.

No problem. You're the boss.

You want a drink, Abeni?

We offer a free drink to all the customers.

Most of them say no.

But they feel good to be asked.

We get the beer from the cash-and-carry,

so it's not costing us too much.

What do you think, Abeni?

You want to be the manager of the salon?

Of here?

It's a very profitable business.

Much better place to work for you.

She see Hope and Nina go with the others.

Good.

They are not working for me anymore, Abeni.

They were no good.

There were...ungrateful.

You want to work here, Abeni?

Yes.

I am very happy to work here, Benjamin.

Thank you.

How we doing, my good man?

We in the right place?

We're looking for a...late one.

Good evening, gentlemen. How are you?

Not a bother. Not a bother.

We're looking for a drink and, maybe a massage.

No. I'm just gonna have a drink first.

You want a massage?

If you insist.

No.

-Maybe I'm all right. -You don't like me?

No, I do, but...I've had a skinful.

I make you happy.

How about now?

Fuck it. Go on.

Yeah?

We have a problem.

I thought you were sorting that out today.

Yes, but we need to move faster.

Late one tonight?

Are you going home?

Is there anything you can tell me about this crew?

Yeah. They're serious.

You know what I meant.

Is there an ongoing investigation

I should be aware of?

No.

Why not?

I don't know.

There is, there was -- the usual.

It's hard to pin anything on them.

They're very cautious.

And that's about the gist of it.

There's something you're not telling me.

There's not.

You know I can't get into it with you, Jen.

What?

Do you have a tout working for them?

No.

You should have been a detective.

And you'd be no good under questioning.

Do you have a tout?

Between me and you?

I had someone.

But he was unreliable, so I had to cut him loose.

I have to go.

Mind yourself.

Good man, Dave.

-What's going on, Gar? -I have a job for you.

I need that Latvian crew to do a cleaning for me.

What is wrong?

Nothing.

Why are you calling me? Is there a problem?

No. No problem.

Sorry.

You are crying?

No.

You are crying.

Yes.

Don't call me until the morning unless it's an emergency.

Okay, Benjamin. Sorry.

Benjamin?

Yes.

You are a very good man.

Very good.

A special man.

You are a special woman.

Now go to sleep, okay?

Okay.

Benjamin, I'm sorry. Benjamin...

What is it?

I am going to go to sleep.

That's good, Marvellous. Go to sleep.

Okay.

Let's move in.

Let's go.

Who are you working for?

-What's their story? -Just stay where you are.

They say they're the cleaners. I'll have them checked out.

Stay where you are, okay?

What's going on?

There's no one here. Just her, and she's out of it.

Hey.

I know you can hear me.

Where's the girl?

Where is she?

Where's the girl?

Fucking bitch!

Cig, take a look at this.

We'll talk.

What do you want to do?

I want forensics in.

Every square inch. Top to bottom.

Cig? Cig!

Attempted O.D.

I think she's puked most of it up.

Get her an ambulance.

Brought sandwiches.

Good man, Dave. What'd you get?

Chicken and bacon.

That'll do.

That's all I'm eating these days is bleedin' sandwiches.

There's a place around the corner there does a carvery.

Any good?

Not bad. It's decent enough.

They have a hot roast special every day.

I need to give up the sauce.

Anyways...

No rest for the wicked.

Do you want me to have them beds and mattresses delivered today?

Give me a look at the prices first.

See if they'll do us a deal.

Good man, Dave.

Is it very dark in here or is it my imagination?

Here. I got water for you.

Come on. I don't want you getting dehydrated.

We need to get some coat hangers in here.

What'll we do?

Watch television?

Need to get a television in here.

Sure I suppose all the young people,

you watch everything on your phones nowadays.

Now...

Little darling, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna give you the old lash, just to break you in.

Now...

I want you to get into it a little bit.

You know what I mean?

But not at first.

The punters that pay the big money,

they want to think it's your first time

and you're not very happy about it,

which is not a problem to show that, says you, but...

And here's the thing.

You need to be moaning and shit at the end of it,

like you can't help it.

You know what I mean?

Yeah?

Jesus. I nearly forgot.

I had it up there and... tight like that.

Yeah?

Didn't I have it like that the last time?

You were screaming like a lunatic.

You loved it, didn't you?
