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 2 days...

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

Did you know her?
Did you know the victim?

This is 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'd be Mr Harrachi's experience
with the police in his own country.

And were you aware that the
deceased had mental health issues?

I was not.

Some of the residents
have expressed concern about

Det. Sergeant Fitzgerald's manner
and behaviour towards Mr Harrachi

and contend that it would've been a
contributory factor in his suicide.

Did you find Det. Sergeant
Fitzgerald's use of force excessive?

No. I did not.

Go on you good thing.

Shut up Mackin, 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...

Whoa!

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?
Eh, a snowball.

A snowball!?
It's actually full of potassium.

Oh, is it ACTUALLY
full of potassium?

Brainbox puts it on his branflakes.

Here we go again.

You're a fucking disgrace.
The lot of you. Do you know that?

This is homework, Inspector.

Open the blinds, Mackin.

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

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

Have you any luck with the buses?
No, not yet.

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

and I can go back further then.
Okay.

Look for any possible route
she might have taken. Yeah.

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 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 Mackin?

You can help him go through
the tapes. Fuck.

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 Mam I'm not hungry!

Oba, yes!

Where's Oba?

Oh, he's outside playing football.

He needs to eat.

He said he wasn't hungry.

It's disgusting anyway.

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 offence I'd have 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 just...
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
questions... 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.

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.

Alright, 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?
Did 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 brazzer herself
so she knows the scene.

D'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 traumatised.

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

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

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. Multi-task. Do you want
to go on the range some time?

I'll call you!

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

Mortified. Ah, Giller? He must
be here for the drugs conference.

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

Eh, why didn't you read your emails?

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!
Alright, pal?

I got it, man!

Got what? They're letting me stay,
I'm going to be 100 percent Irish!

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

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

Get myself a fucking fridge, man!
Ah, you 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 going to kick us
out of this country, Oba.

We're going to
own this place someday.

Go on Messi, go on.

Don't tell Mam about school,
will you not?

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!

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

Yeah, exactly. Must be a relief to
be able to vindicate your good name.

Look, this isn't funny you know!

Hey! The food's not started yet!

Just getting bread.

Katarina, have you
seen my Ma anywhere?

No. If you see her, can you tell
her I was looking for her, yeah?

Yeah.

It's not a laughing matter.

I'd appreciate if you got the gear
back to me in one piece, yeah?

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

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

Fucking shithead.

We'll be in touch.

Alright, little fellow?

Okay ladies... and gent...

we're closing up in half an hour.
Alright? 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?

Alright, 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...

Look, Abeni,
I can give you 10 minutes,

but that's the best I can do.
15.

Alright, 15, but then I have to
close up shop, alright? 20.

20?

Go on.

I'm sorry.

I was going to 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 percent.

It's the law.

We've 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 Centre 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 would 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 in 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's 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 mould.

Leave it.

You might want to give it
a half an hour for those 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
gho help you. They're good women.

Tell her
I no known wétin 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 gho help you.

I fear all the bad men.

All the bad people, they try
to cheat you, they try to hurt you.

And they make me do bad things.

They beat me with sticks
and they wound me.

Dey burn me with cigar

if I no do wétin dey want me to do.

We're not going to
let them come back, Flora.

We'll put them in jail.

Dem go come for me.

I gho give dem their money.

Why do you have to pay them money?

Dem pay for me to come here.

My family pay
but dey say ‘e no reach.

Flora, I'll protect you but I need
you to 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 centres,
they're safe.

It's 100 percent secure.

Dey put juju for my body.

Who gho help me commot the juju?

She said they put
the bad spirit on her body.

That's Esme returning
to the centre at 1 am.

Now, 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 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.

And 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?
Have they to sign in or something?

Yeah. There are 7 nights,
not consecutive,

where she didn't sign back in.

And there's a penalty for this?
Yeah.

If a resident misses 3 days in a row
they lose their place in the centre.

The dates correlate with the CCTV?
Yes but that's hardly hard evidence.

Your man Wayne's incompetent.
His records are shit.

That's all that proves.

Well, I have saved
the best 'til last.

Ah come on, will you.
You wouldn't notice it,

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 characterise
your relationship with Esme Lukasa?

Professional.

Did you allow her to break
curfew rules and otherwise give her

preferential treatment
in return for sexual favours?

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 your 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.

Oh, 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 alright?

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.

Alright, Gar.

Drive, will you?
What's the panic?

Ah, I'm on edge
with all this bullshit.

Ah, you need to fucking relax.
Just drive, will you?

Open up the glove compartment there.

Go on,
I've 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 fellows.

So they'll be looking
for accommodation, then?

Pricks.

And they took
my computers and everything.

Looking for
the kiddie porn, are they?

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

There as bent as fuck. At least
there's 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, Rooney.

You let the manager go.
I didn't have enough on him.

Why did you bring him in then?
I thought I could rattle him.

He knows something.
Explain it to me.

I don't understand about the girl.

She's in with Tusla.

She's completely traumatised.
We can still talk to her.

Well this is how I want to play it.

Alright.

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.

Sure, we're only after renting it.

You must 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 leave.
Sorry, buddy.

One, two night, you're going to have
to get all this stuff out of here.

It's the best I can do, mate.

Two 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.

Alright Gar, what's the story?

How many will we fit in here?

About nine?

Oh, I think we could 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 eh, two beds over here, lads, by
the windows, nice bit of fresh air.

I'd call dibs on them because
when we get the colour television...

digital... 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, fellows.

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 Centre 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?

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 in 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.

Ah. 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.

Ha-hey!

I think you have
found your true calling.

So very particular.

Oh, I have offended you.

I did not mean to offend you, Abeni.

I meant that only
to give you a compliment.

I'm 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.

And there's none under the sink?
No.

Hm. 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 night time.

I was thinking maybe I could
work more for the day time.

You want to work during the daytime?
Mm-hmm.

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.

Are there any biscuits left?

Can 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.

You could eat these all day.

I heard Isaiah was questioned
there about poor Esme.

Had a little thing with her, did he?
