Transcript

00:00:00We present An Irish Connection by Patrick J. Power, with Stephen Kennedy as Michael,

00:00:21Eamon Hunt as Detective Superintendent Gleeson, and Owen Rowe as Detective Sergeant Fitzgerald.

00:00:30Excuse me. Hello? Excuse me. Jesus Christ.

00:00:51Don't make a scene, Michael, please.

00:00:52We're here half an hour, and we haven't even seen the menu yet.

00:00:55They'll get around to us eventually.

00:00:57Country hotels are the shagging limit. There he goes again.

00:00:59Who?

00:01:00The French waiter. He hasn't taken a single order since we came in.

00:01:03All he does is keep darting back and forward to that reserve table.

00:01:06I wouldn't fancy meeting him after dark in a Paris alleyway.

00:01:09I think he's quite attractive.

00:01:12Have you been back to see the doctor?

00:01:13No.

00:01:14Or shouldn't you have gone back?

00:01:15He's a quack. First he told me I had malaria, then he said glandular fever.

00:01:19I had neither. I picked up a summer flu.

00:01:21You don't look well.

00:01:22I'll be fine once I'm back in the sun.

00:01:25I thought you said you had a medical cert on the middle of September.

00:01:27I can't stand this bloody climate any longer.

00:01:30As soon as we get back to Dublin tomorrow, I'll phone head office and ask them to arrange a flight out as soon as possible.

00:01:36I'm sorry, Michael.

00:01:38There is somebody else, isn't there?

00:01:40Yes.

00:01:41Well, do I know him?

00:01:42No.

00:01:44What does he do?

00:01:45He's a research chemist.

00:01:47Would it have made any difference if I hadn't gone away?

00:01:49What's the point in discussing that now?

00:01:51Water under the bridge, huh?

00:01:54Oh, wow.

00:01:55Oh.

00:01:57Here come the honored guests, conducted to their table by the proprietor himself.

00:02:02Pin-striped suit, flyer in his buttonhole, hands as big as shovels.

00:02:06How are you, sir?

00:02:07More than likely made his money on the fiddle in some building site across the water.

00:02:11Philippe!

00:02:12Hey!

00:02:13The usual for you, Herr Smith, sir.

00:02:15Cognac?

00:02:15Oh, yeah.

00:02:16And you, sir?

00:02:17Naga, bitte.

00:02:18Big glass?

00:02:19Small glass?

00:02:21Gross and flas.

00:02:22Aye, big glass.

00:02:23A pint of Naga, Philippe, and a cognac for Herr Smith.

00:02:28The menu is gingerbread.

00:02:29And the wine list.

00:02:32I'll have some take orders in the moment.

00:02:34We're completely ignored those foreign gets walking and get attention right away.

00:02:38They do have a reserved table.

00:02:40So what?

00:02:41For heaven's sake, Michael, relax.

00:02:43Don't get so tight over nothing.

00:02:45Of all the places in Ireland, we had to choose skibberine on a wet August weekend.

00:02:50Good God.

00:02:52What?

00:02:53The waiter, Philippe, over at the drinks hatch, he's put something in the brandy.

00:02:56You're ridiculous.

00:02:57Brenda, I saw him, a quick flick of the wrist.

00:02:59Whatever it was, he had it hidden under that napkin.

00:03:02How can you possibly tell from over here?

00:03:04Because I was watching him.

00:03:05Look, he's put his hand in his trousers' pocket.

00:03:07I swear to God, he'd tip something into Schmidt's brandy.

00:03:09Well, surely Schmidt or one of the others would have seen him.

00:03:12They weren't looking, they've got their heads stuck in the menus.

00:03:15What the hell is wrong with you, Michael?

00:03:18Here he comes.

00:03:19I've got the toilet.

00:03:21I'll go off, monsieur.

00:03:22I guess, ma'am.

00:03:23What's yours?

00:03:24Meisty's drinking it.

00:03:26If you continue with this nonsense, I am getting up and walking out.

00:03:29Oh, Jesus, no.

00:03:30Michael, this is very embarrassing.

00:03:32People are staring at us.

00:03:33Look, the drink was doctored, I'm certain, but I know what I saw.

00:03:36Oh, Jesus.

00:03:38Brenda, watch out!

00:03:40My gut!

00:03:42Someone help me out, please!

00:03:49Where the hell did you go?

00:03:51I have been looking all over the place for you.

00:03:53I had a walk-up time.

00:03:54You're as white as a ghost.

00:03:59Any news of Schmidt?

00:04:00He's dead.

00:04:01Massive heart attack.

00:04:03Who's dead?

00:04:04The doctor who attended him, he was in the bar.

00:04:06He came almost immediately.

00:04:08I'm going to the guards.

00:04:09The guards?

00:04:10Michael, what the hell is wrong with you?

00:04:13Shh, Schmidt was poisoned.

00:04:14The frog poisoned.

00:04:15Michael, I have just told you, you are not listening to me.

00:04:18The doctor said he died of a massive heart attack.

00:04:21And I'm telling you he was poisoned.

00:04:22That was murder in there.

00:04:23Oh, and you know better than the doctor, do you?

00:04:25The doctor didn't see what I saw.

00:04:27Do you realize what going to the guards means?

00:04:29They'll be down here swarming all over the place because of some crazy notion that you saw Philly put something in the jam and drink.

00:04:36Here.

00:04:38Smell that.

00:04:39Where did you get that glass?

00:04:41It fell out of Schmidt's hand and rolled under our table.

00:04:43Look, go on, smell it.

00:04:44There's nothing in it to smell.

00:04:47You don't get an almond wolf of it?

00:04:50No, I don't give it to me.

00:04:51No, I'm going to have it, Amelie's.

00:04:53It's empty, for God's sake.

00:04:54Look, if the cognac was poisoned, they'll find traces.

00:04:58Come on.

00:04:59We have indeed, and let's go into dinner.

00:05:01Michael, it is ten o'clock.

00:05:02The dining room closed at nine.

00:05:04You have been gone for over two hours.

00:05:07Oh.

00:05:07Look, we'll have to get something, indeed.

00:05:13Sorry, excuse me.

00:05:15Excuse me.

00:05:16Yes, sir.

00:05:17Could we have sandwiches and a pot of coffee, please?

00:05:20What kind of sandwiches would you like?

00:05:23Ham, cheese, whatever you have.

00:05:26I hear Harry Schmidt's dead.

00:05:28Oh, he is, yes.

00:05:30Poor man.

00:05:31He has it all over him, now.

00:05:33Did you know him?

00:05:34Um, we were just sitting at the next table.

00:05:36Oh, well, he had a weak heart.

00:05:39Dr. Crowley told him he could go at any time.

00:05:42Not to worry, he wouldn't know a thing about it.

00:05:44Sure, that's what's happened.

00:05:45Dr. Crowley was the doctor who attended him in the dining room?

00:05:48Oh, that's right.

00:05:49Oh, a good doctor.

00:05:50What a devil for the whiskey.

00:05:52A great friend of Jerry's.

00:05:54Jerry and him go on fierce binges together.

00:05:55Who's Jerry?

00:05:56Jerry Langan.

00:05:57Well, the boss.

00:05:59Jerry's a big wheel in this town.

00:06:01Builder, auctioneer, you name it, Jerry's mixed up in it.

00:06:04Well, he was the only friend Schmidt had, apart from his own bunch.

00:06:08Schmidt wasn't too popular.

00:06:10How's that?

00:06:12Land agitation.

00:06:13It was in the papers.

00:06:15About a year ago, Schmidt bought a farm out Baltimore direction.

00:06:18Jerry arranged the sale.

00:06:20The local farmers wanted it divided.

00:06:22Then there was slogans painted on the road.

00:06:25Nazis go home, that kind of thing.

00:06:27And then a few eejits with shotguns tried to ambush him one evening.

00:06:31Well, the guards caught him and that was the end of it.

00:06:34The rumour was, Schmidt was going to put up some kind of a holiday complex.

00:06:39A million pound it was to cost.

00:06:41And Jerry was to build it for him.

00:06:43I dare say nothing will come of that now.

00:06:45Were they his two sons with him?

00:06:48That's another story.

00:06:50Well, the word was, he was gay.

00:06:53All was a stream of young fellas going to and from the house.

00:06:56All Germans.

00:06:57He never appeared in public without a couple of them tagging along.

00:07:01He stayed in the hotel for a couple of months when he came over first.

00:07:04And every Sunday night since, he's had his dinner here.

00:07:07The French waiter, is he permanent?

00:07:08Philippe.

00:07:10Not at all.

00:07:11He's only in the place two weeks.

00:07:13He came to Jerry and spun him a story.

00:07:16He was a student and he'd lost all his money.

00:07:19And Jerry took him on.

00:07:20Jerry has big notions.

00:07:22The idea of having a French waiter appeal to him.

00:07:24Give a bit of tone to the place.

00:07:25I heard someone saying he was finishing up tonight.

00:07:28And good riddance.

00:07:30Would you care for a drink?

00:07:32Not now, sir.

00:07:33Jerry caught me drinking on the job.

00:07:35He'd fire me.

00:07:36If you like, you could leave one down for me and I'll have it after.

00:07:39A pint of stout.

00:07:40Just tell him it's for dinner.

00:07:41I'll do that.

00:07:42Wait, I'll get you the coffee and the sandwiches.

00:07:45Right.

00:07:45Well, satisfied?

00:07:47Nope.

00:07:48Very well, then.

00:07:50Excuse me.

00:07:51Where are you going?

00:07:53To my room.

00:07:54I have had enough of your stupidity and I can't take it anymore.

00:07:58But you haven't, Eden.

00:07:58I'm not hungry.

00:08:00Oh, bloody hell.

00:08:12Oh, Jesus Christ.

00:08:18This is all I need.

00:08:34Brenda.

00:08:37Brenda, do you hear me?

00:08:38I'm in bed.

00:08:39Open the door.

00:08:40I have to talk to you.

00:08:41Go away.

00:08:42Open the bloody door, will you?

00:08:48Is anything missing?

00:08:49Yeah.

00:08:50My address book and passport.

00:08:51My overnight bag's been prized open.

00:08:53The lock's broken.

00:08:54Are you sure that you have them with you?

00:08:56Yes, I'm sure.

00:08:57I had them in this plastic folder.

00:08:59See?

00:08:59Empty.

00:08:59Get your things.

00:09:00You're sleeping in here tonight.

00:09:02I most certainly am not.

00:09:04You're in danger.

00:09:05The frog knows I have the glass.

00:09:06He's been in here searching for it.

00:09:07He didn't find it, so we'll go to your room next.

00:09:09Michael, are you on drugs?

00:09:11No, I'm not on drugs.

00:09:14A man was murdered in this hotel this evening, right in front of our noses.

00:09:18I have the proof.

00:09:18That's why he's broken into the room.

00:09:20You're not staying in your room tonight.

00:09:22Not with that bastard pouring the room.

00:09:24So get your things and get in here.

00:09:25I will not.

00:09:26I am sleeping in my own room.

00:09:28Look, I didn't want to come on this lousy weekend.

00:09:31I told you everything between us was over.

00:09:34Now, you begged me.

00:09:36You pleaded with me.

00:09:37And I was a bloody idiot to come.

00:09:41Why do you think I broke it off with you?

00:09:44I hadn't got that ring on my finger for two days when you announced that you were off to Dubai.

00:09:49Well, I asked you not to go, but you wouldn't listen.

00:09:52You know, once you get an idea into your head, God almighty won't change you.

00:09:56You knew I had applied for that job out there.

00:09:58I went out there to earn money so that we could marry and buy a house.

00:10:01I've earned more money out there in one year than I would have made in this tip of a country in five.

00:10:06And what do you expect me to do?

00:10:08Pine away like some love-lorn princess in prison in a garage.

00:10:11Write you love letters pledging my undying devotion.

00:10:14Wait till you came home and you got another brainstorm.

00:10:16Listen, you are unstable.

00:10:18You are still a schoolboy.

00:10:19You don't even know your own mind from one minute to the next.

00:10:22If I ever needed proof, I got it this evening.

00:10:24Now, I am going back to my room.

00:10:26I am getting into bed, so do not bang on my door again.

00:10:30Do you hear me?

00:10:44You've hardly touched your dinner.

00:10:47Aren't you hungry?

00:10:48No.

00:10:51How do you feel?

00:10:52Tired?

00:10:54Confused?

00:10:56Michael, listen to me.

00:10:59The weekend is over.

00:11:00Just put it out of your mind.

00:11:03There was somebody in your room last night, but it wasn't the frog.

00:11:09My guest, it was just some thief, you know, maybe even a guest in the hotel.

00:11:13And when he didn't find anything of value in your bag, he nicked your address, book, and passport.

00:11:19As for that other stuff, we know that Schmidt died of heart failure.

00:11:24Philip put something in Schmidt's glass.

00:11:26I have no doubts about that at all.

00:11:27I saw him.

00:11:28Give it to me.

00:11:30What?

00:11:31The glass.

00:11:32No.

00:11:32I'll get David to test it in the lab.

00:11:34Suppose he does find traces of poison in it.

00:11:36Cyanide, for instance.

00:11:37Don't argue with me, Michael.

00:11:39Then you're both involved.

00:11:40We could all be in trouble.

00:11:42Just give it to me.

00:11:45You realize what you're doing?

00:11:48Yeah.

00:11:49Yeah.

00:11:54Don't mess about with it.

00:11:55Put it in your bag.

00:11:56Leave the tissues on us.

00:12:02So, you still plan on flying out this week?

00:12:07As soon as you can arrange a new passport, can you?

00:12:11You give me a ring before you go?

00:12:15I'll get the car in the mall and drop you home.

00:12:18Um, I'm not going home.

00:12:21I'm meeting David.

00:12:23Look, I'm sorry about what I said to you last night.

00:12:26You know, about you being unstable, I didn't mean that.

00:12:28You're sure we're all washed up?

00:12:30I'm a little confused, too, Michael.

00:12:36Look, I have to dash.

00:12:39Why don't you just give it some time and ring me in a day or two.

00:12:43No, look, don't.

00:12:44Don't come with me.

00:12:45It's...

00:12:47I'm all right.

00:12:50Mind yourself.

00:12:53Bye.

00:12:55Bye.

00:13:00That land again.

00:13:12Other people's bloody televisions.

00:13:17Where's the freedom of my switch?

00:13:21Same old story.

00:13:22Somebody's nicked a bulb.

00:13:25Oh, land of night's gone, too.

00:13:28Stairs this way, I think.

00:13:30Sorry, Walt.

00:13:34Ah, here we are.

00:13:36One, two, slow, Mike.

00:13:40One, two, miss your footing.

00:13:46Who's there?

00:13:49Frog?

00:13:52Are you up there, Frog?

00:13:56Frog?

00:13:57Frog?

00:13:58Frog?

00:13:59Oh.

00:14:01You're...

00:14:01fulght.

00:14:04I told it back you bastard.

00:14:05Oh, I'm...

00:14:06Oh.

00:14:08Oh.

00:14:09Oh.

00:14:14Oh.

00:14:15Oh.

00:14:16Oh.

00:14:17Oh.

00:14:18Oh.

00:14:19Oh.

00:14:21Oh.

00:14:22Oh.

00:14:23Oh.

00:14:23I can't see. The light's gone. Open the door a bit.

00:14:26Oh, my God. What's wrong?

00:14:28Look, it's the fellow on the next floor. Is he Gerard?

00:14:31He must have fallen down the stairs. He's pissed out of his mind.

00:14:34Oh, Jesus. Karen, his head's split open.

00:14:38Should we get him inside?

00:14:39No, don't touch him. Let's ring for an ambulance.

00:14:41Would you, sir? Are at an all-time...

00:14:53Now, then. How do you feel, Michael?

00:15:00Terrible.

00:15:00Don't try to sit up. No. Lie back.

00:15:03How many stitches did I have?

00:15:04Six. You had a pretty nasty gash in your head.

00:15:08Now, then. Open your eyes, please.

00:15:09Now, look at me. That's right. A bit wider.

00:15:13Yeah, that's it.

00:15:16Yeah.

00:15:16I'll have to keep you overnight to be on the safe side.

00:15:18Why?

00:15:19No, nothing to be alarmed about. Merely precaution.

00:15:21Now, can you remember what happened to you?

00:15:25Aye, the frog clobbered me.

00:15:26Sorry?

00:15:28A French man. The French waiter.

00:15:30He was waiting for me at the top of the stairs.

00:15:32He grabbed me overnight bag, and then he hit me over the head with something.

00:15:37You'd been drinking.

00:15:39I had a few.

00:15:40Yeah, well, the girls who found you told the ambulance crew you fell down the stairs.

00:15:43Aye, after the bastard hit me. Look, I'm getting out of here.

00:15:45I strongly advise you to remain overnight.

00:15:48For your own good, you have concussion.

00:15:51Do you have a phone? I want to call a taxi.

00:15:53There's a pay phone down the corridor.

00:15:55Just a moment, please.

00:15:58I'd like you to sign something here.

00:16:01Here we are.

00:16:02What's this?

00:16:03Well, it's just a precautionary measure.

00:16:06A statement to say you discharge yourself voluntarily.

00:16:08Customer search.

00:16:23Bandage round his head.

00:16:25There's another nut I'll kill myself.

00:16:29See what he wants.

00:16:29Yes?

00:16:34I want to report an attack made me about three hours ago.

00:16:37Do you know who your assailant was?

00:16:39A Frenchman called Philippe.

00:16:40I don't know his surname.

00:16:42Why did he attack you?

00:16:44He committed a murder on Sunday night.

00:16:45I was a witness.

00:16:46Where?

00:16:47Skibberine.

00:16:48Just a moment, please.

00:16:50I think you're right, Sarge.

00:16:55Some Frenchman attacked him because he was a witness to a murder the Frenchman committed on Sunday night in Skibberine.

00:17:03Is he doped?

00:17:06Hard to say.

00:17:07His eyes are glazed and he has a whiff of drink off him.

00:17:11They let them out for the day.

00:17:14They go off drinking.

00:17:15They get involved in fights.

00:17:16And then, when they've nowhere else to go, they wander into the nearest Garda station with their heads full of nonsense.

00:17:22And then we have to play mother.

00:17:25Show him in.

00:17:26Do you want me to go inside and ring around the psychiatric hospitals?

00:17:29Later.

00:17:30We'll suss him out first.

00:17:34Will you come this way, please?

00:17:45Another cuppa, Michael?

00:17:46No.

00:17:46Thanks.

00:17:47Okay.

00:17:48Well, then let's have a quick run over your statement.

00:17:53On Sunday night, you saw the French waiter putting something in the German's drink.

00:17:59The German took the drink and died.

00:18:02Your room was burgled and your passport and address book taken.

00:18:07Now, last night, when you returned to your flat, the French man was lying in wait, grabbed your bag and hit you across the head.

00:18:17An ambulance was called and you were brought to James' hospital.

00:18:24From the hospital, you took a taxi here.

00:18:28That's correct.

00:18:28Right.

00:18:32Have you been ill recently, Michael?

00:18:35No, I picked up a bug about six weeks ago.

00:18:38What kind of a bug?

00:18:39The doctor wasn't sure.

00:18:40First he said malaria, then glandular fever.

00:18:44We don't have malaria in Ireland.

00:18:46I picked it up abroad.

00:18:47I picked it up abroad.

00:18:48Where?

00:18:49Dubai, in the Middle East.

00:18:50What kind of work do you do?

00:18:53I'm a civil engineer.

00:18:56Can I see a second, Sarge?

00:18:59Excuse me, Michael.

00:19:06I was on to James'.

00:19:07The doctor in Casualty says the girls who found him told the ambulance crew he was maggoty drunk and fell down the stairs.

00:19:16The doctor says he's concussed.

00:19:17He wanted him to stay in overnight, but he discharged himself.

00:19:22He claims he's a civil engineer home on holiday from the Middle East.

00:19:25He's a loopy, Sargeant.

00:19:27That's my opinion.

00:19:28Call the squad car.

00:19:29We'll get shut up.

00:19:30What do we do at the statement?

00:19:32Tear it up?

00:19:32Oh, no.

00:19:33We'll pass it on to the CDU.

00:19:35Any tearing ups that we don't let them do it.

00:19:40Okay, Michael.

00:19:41We've called the squad car to drop you back to your flat.

00:19:44What if the Frenchman's still hanging about?

00:19:45We have a patrol in the area.

00:19:47If he's in the vicinity, they'll get him.

00:19:50But don't worry.

00:19:52You'll be perfectly safe.

00:19:53Good morning.

00:20:11You want to see me, Zuber?

00:20:12What do you do, Fitz?

00:20:13Grab a chair.

00:20:15Jesus, you look great.

00:20:17Everything okay?

00:20:18I'm getting by.

00:20:19Have you heard from her?

00:20:22No.

00:20:23Not the children?

00:20:24Nothing.

00:20:25But you know where they are?

00:20:27London.

00:20:28I have an address.

00:20:30I dare say their job didn't help.

00:20:32She'd been seeing them for some time.

00:20:33I didn't tweak on.

00:20:35Probably because I wasn't around much.

00:20:38Strange business for infants, hmm?

00:20:39Yeah.

00:20:40Investigating societies.

00:20:41We don't realize what's going on inside our own four walls.

00:20:46Who's the Ellis lad?

00:20:48He's gone too.

00:20:49Christ only knows what's going to happen to him in London.

00:20:52Sorry, Fitz.

00:20:53Yeah.

00:20:54Shouldn't you take time off?

00:20:56Go across, sort things out?

00:20:57Yeah.

00:20:57I'm at my wit's end.

00:20:59I don't know what to do for the best.

00:21:03Did I ever tell you?

00:21:04All I wanted to be was a farmer.

00:21:06Oh, we're off.

00:21:08Draved cattle along a country road.

00:21:10Oh, yeah.

00:21:10Rear a few pigs.

00:21:11Back and forward to the creamery and the mount.

00:21:15Didn't work out, though.

00:21:16There were six of us born in 50 acres of the foot of the Galilee of Owens.

00:21:21The eldest brother took over.

00:21:22The rest had to leave.

00:21:24I joined the guards.

00:21:25Some day I'll go back there, that's for sure.

00:21:29Back to the lush green fields of Tipperary.

00:21:32You ever have dreams like that, Fitz?

00:21:34Afraid not super.

00:21:35I was born in the city.

00:21:36But the streets are my home.

00:21:38Not the same streets you grew up in, are they?

00:21:41Well, that's true.

00:21:42But you know what keeps me going on the bad days

00:21:44is that I can help put some of those bastards away.

00:21:48When it strikes your own family, huh?

00:21:50Jesus, that's when it hits home.

00:21:51Amen to that.

00:21:52Problem fits.

00:21:55Right.

00:21:56Those two foreigners who died, Tassie and Padroni.

00:21:59I'm not happy.

00:22:01I guess the file...

00:22:03Something odd there.

00:22:05Both suicides were in a few days of one another.

00:22:08Hmm?

00:22:08Too much of a coincidence.

00:22:10Well, there was nothing to indicate foul play.

00:22:12Tassie hanged himself.

00:22:14Padroni shot himself without duck shooting.

00:22:16The only prince found on his glomer his own.

00:22:19Tassie had a contusion at the base of his skull.

00:22:21Well, the medical evidence of the inquest was

00:22:23that the contusion was caused by the knot on the rope.

00:22:26If the coroner had any doubts,

00:22:27he'd have brought in an open verdict.

00:22:30He had nobody.

00:22:30His family, his friends, his employees

00:22:32can put forward any reason why he should have taken his own life.

00:22:35His business was doing well.

00:22:37He had no apparent problems.

00:22:38It seems so.

00:22:40Let's see.

00:22:40He came to Galway from Belgium five years ago.

00:22:44He ran a successful food import business.

00:22:45He was popular locally,

00:22:47a member of the Gulf Club Chamber of Commerce.

00:22:49As you say, no problems.

00:22:51At least none that have come to light.

00:22:53Imported goods from the eastern Mediterranean.

00:22:55Lardle leaves, fig paste, raisins, sultanas.

00:22:59I'm not with you, Zuber.

00:23:01The word from the States is still

00:23:03that high-grade heroin is flooding onto the streets

00:23:05of east-cost American cities.

00:23:07The Yanks of Southern has been manufactured here.

00:23:10If they're right,

00:23:11then somebody has to be importing morphine base.

00:23:15The best way to get it in

00:23:16would be under cover of legitimate imports.

00:23:18Galway's a small place, Zuber.

00:23:20I mean, if Tassie was involved in drugs,

00:23:22something would have leaked out.

00:23:23There hasn't been even a whisper.

00:23:24The drug squad have been working flat out

00:23:26on the ring allegation.

00:23:27They've checked every available source.

00:23:29They still haven't a glimmer.

00:23:30They say they're satisfied

00:23:31any heroin on sale here is imported

00:23:33and not manufactured.

00:23:35Anything back from the Belgian police?

00:23:37We've sent them Tassie's picture.

00:23:39They're still working on it.

00:23:41Get on again.

00:23:41Tell them it's top priority.

00:23:42Yeah, we'll do, Zuber.

00:23:44We know Padroni had mafia connections.

00:23:47Well, it says here

00:23:48he came from a New York mafia family

00:23:51which split in two.

00:23:52One side is involved in racketeering,

00:23:54the other legit.

00:23:55Now, Padroni was on the legit side.

00:23:57He was a lawyer.

00:23:58The Yanks have checked him out

00:23:59and they say there's nothing on him.

00:24:01He had a host in West Mead.

00:24:02He was a regular visitor.

00:24:06He flew over three or four times a year

00:24:07for the fishing and shooting.

00:24:09The staff from the house were questioned.

00:24:10The local gun and angling clubs.

00:24:13Nothing has turned up to show

00:24:14he was here for any reason

00:24:15other than to enjoy himself.

00:24:16He dies in a West Mead lake

00:24:18within four days of Tassie

00:24:19hanging himself in Galway.

00:24:21Yeah.

00:24:22Suppose a hitman did them both in.

00:24:25Made it look as if their debts

00:24:26were self-inflicted.

00:24:27Hmm?

00:24:28Hmm.

00:24:28Say there were members of this ring.

00:24:30There was a contract outing them.

00:24:31All Interpol have told us

00:24:32is that they've picked up

00:24:32an underworld rumour.

00:24:34We have no description,

00:24:35no photo fit, nothing.

00:24:36Look, it's August.

00:24:37The country has sworn

00:24:38with shagging your opinions.

00:24:39There could be a hundred hitmen here

00:24:40and we wouldn't be able

00:24:41to identify anything.

00:24:42Get on to Interpol again.

00:24:43See if they're photoed anything else.

00:24:45Tell them we've looked

00:24:45at those two deaths again.

00:24:47Tassie and Padroni

00:24:48were suspicious.

00:24:49Fair enough.

00:24:50There is one other thing, Fitz.

00:24:51Yeah.

00:24:52I had a report on my desk

00:24:54when I came in from Donnybrook

00:24:55and Michael Regan

00:24:57called at two this morning

00:24:58and claimed a Frenchman

00:25:00attacked him

00:25:00because he saw the Frenchman

00:25:01murder a German

00:25:02in a hotel in Skibarine

00:25:04on Sunday night.

00:25:05What?

00:25:05Sunday night?

00:25:06And he didn't report it

00:25:07until till this morning?

00:25:08They figured in Donnybrook

00:25:09he wasn't the full whack

00:25:10so they packed him home

00:25:11in a squad car.

00:25:12You'll read the statement yourself.

00:25:13No.

00:25:15I've been on to Skibarine

00:25:16and they confirmed

00:25:17a German called Schmidt

00:25:19died in a hotel

00:25:20there on Sunday night

00:25:20but the doctor

00:25:22who attended him

00:25:22said it was cardiac arrest.

00:25:25A Frenchman called

00:25:26Philippe Brahms

00:25:27worked as a waiter

00:25:28in the hotel

00:25:29for a couple of weeks.

00:25:30He finished on Sunday night

00:25:31and a Michael Regan

00:25:33stayed there

00:25:34for the weekend.

00:25:35No.

00:25:3699 times out of 100

00:25:37I toss a report

00:25:38like this aside

00:25:39but I have a niggle

00:25:41about this one.

00:25:42The girls who found him

00:25:43say he fell down the stairs

00:25:44they didn't see anyone else

00:25:45and he's been ill.

00:25:46The fact remains

00:25:47he did stay in the hotel.

00:25:49There are two foreigners

00:25:50involved

00:25:51and one of them

00:25:51is dead.

00:25:52Why did he wait

00:25:53over 24 hours

00:25:53to report his suspicions?

00:25:55The first possibility

00:25:56is he's fantasising

00:25:57the other is

00:25:58he's frightened.

00:25:59A civil engineer

00:26:00home on holiday

00:26:00from the Middle East

00:26:01and that could be fantasy too.

00:26:03Might be worth talking

00:26:04to him Fitz.

00:26:06Right.

00:26:07At least we'll be able

00:26:07to get a description

00:26:08of the waiter from him

00:26:09and send it off to Winter

00:26:10I'll see where they turn up.

00:26:13Come on

00:26:13let's get it over with.

00:26:14It's a long way

00:26:16I'm sorry to have

00:26:20got you out of bed.

00:26:22Time I was up anyway.

00:26:23How's your head?

00:26:25Terrible.

00:26:27You're sure you saw

00:26:28the waiter

00:26:28put something

00:26:29in the German's drink?

00:26:30Yeah I'm sure.

00:26:31You've no doubts

00:26:32about that at all?

00:26:33None.

00:26:34Why didn't you report

00:26:34the matter to the guards

00:26:35at Skibarine

00:26:36on Sunday night?

00:26:37I persuaded myself

00:26:38I was mistaken.

00:26:39You just said

00:26:40you weren't mistaken.

00:26:41The doctor who attended

00:26:42the German said

00:26:43he had a massive heart attack.

00:26:44At that stage

00:26:45I was confused.

00:26:46The fact remains

00:26:47you say

00:26:47you saw the waiter

00:26:48tamper with the drink.

00:26:49Yeah I did.

00:26:50Did you mention

00:26:50your suspicions

00:26:51to the doctor?

00:26:51No.

00:26:52Or to anybody else?

00:26:54I had a conversation

00:26:55with the porter

00:26:55in the hotel.

00:26:56He told me

00:26:57the German had a weak heart.

00:26:58The doctor who attended him

00:26:59was his regular doctor

00:27:00and had told him

00:27:01he could die at any time.

00:27:03The porter was

00:27:03the only person

00:27:04you spoke to?

00:27:06Yeah.

00:27:08You sure about that?

00:27:09Yeah.

00:27:11The attack on you

00:27:12last night

00:27:12you knew it was

00:27:14the Frenchman

00:27:14because he got

00:27:15the smell of

00:27:15French cigarettes.

00:27:17That's correct.

00:27:18Surely if he attacked you

00:27:19you would have

00:27:20both been at close quarters.

00:27:22You would have

00:27:22been able to see him.

00:27:23It was dark.

00:27:24There were no bulbs

00:27:25in the hall they're landing.

00:27:26So you're merely

00:27:27assuming this was

00:27:27the same Frenchman

00:27:28who worked in the hotel.

00:27:29I'm certain.

00:27:31All you have to go

00:27:32on is the smell

00:27:32of cigarettes.

00:27:33French cigarettes.

00:27:34I know what

00:27:35capitals and galois

00:27:36smell like.

00:27:36So if he'd been

00:27:37smoking camels

00:27:38he'd have been in Arab.

00:27:39Jesus.

00:27:40Look the girls

00:27:40in the downstairs

00:27:41flat didn't see

00:27:42any asylum.

00:27:42They said you were

00:27:43drunk and fell

00:27:43down the stairs.

00:27:44They didn't see him

00:27:45because the hall

00:27:45was dark.

00:27:46By the time they

00:27:47found me he had

00:27:48left.

00:27:48Wouldn't they have

00:27:48heard the hall

00:27:49door opening

00:27:49and closing?

00:27:50I can't answer

00:27:51that question.

00:27:51You'll have to

00:27:52ask the girls.

00:27:52You were drunk?

00:27:53I had a few.

00:27:54You told them in

00:27:55Donnybrook you'd

00:27:56been ill.

00:27:57I picked up a bug

00:27:58when I came home

00:27:58from Dubai.

00:27:59The doctor couldn't

00:28:00diagnose exactly

00:28:01what was wrong

00:28:02with you.

00:28:02He told me

00:28:03eventually I had

00:28:04glandular fever.

00:28:05I can't say for

00:28:06sure.

00:28:07Have you ever

00:28:08received psychiatric

00:28:08treatment?

00:28:10No.

00:28:11Really?

00:28:12Yeah.

00:28:13I mean no.

00:28:14How long were you

00:28:15in Dubai,

00:28:16Michael?

00:28:16A year.

00:28:18Now the Frenchman

00:28:19who attacked you,

00:28:20how did he know

00:28:21where you lived?

00:28:22He stole me a

00:28:22dress book from

00:28:23the hotel room.

00:28:24You caught him

00:28:25in your room?

00:28:26No, I didn't.

00:28:27So you're making

00:28:27another assumption.

00:28:29What are you

00:28:29trying to do?

00:28:30Convince me I made

00:28:31all this up?

00:28:31All we've got

00:28:32from you so far

00:28:33is an uncorroborated

00:28:34account of what

00:28:35you think happened.

00:28:35Did you report

00:28:36to the hotel

00:28:37management that

00:28:37your room had

00:28:38been burgled?

00:28:38No.

00:28:39Why not?

00:28:40Because I was

00:28:40leaving the next

00:28:41morning.

00:28:41I didn't see the

00:28:42point.

00:28:42Yet you suspected

00:28:43the French waiter,

00:28:44one of their staff.

00:28:45The porter had

00:28:46told me earlier

00:28:47the waiter was

00:28:48leaving that night

00:28:48that he had been

00:28:49employed only

00:28:50temporarily.

00:28:51How many people

00:28:52were in the dining

00:28:52room when you

00:28:53saw him put

00:28:53something in

00:28:54the German's

00:28:54drink?

00:28:55About a hundred,

00:28:56a hundred and

00:28:56twenty.

00:28:57And you were

00:28:58the only one

00:28:58who saw him?

00:28:59I didn't check

00:28:59with anybody else.

00:29:01How did the

00:29:01Frenchman find out

00:29:02you saw him

00:29:03tantal about

00:29:03the German's

00:29:04drink?

00:29:06When the

00:29:07German collapsed,

00:29:08I got a flight

00:29:08and walked out of

00:29:09the dining room.

00:29:10He must have

00:29:10seen me leave.

00:29:11You were the

00:29:11only one who

00:29:11left.

00:29:12There may have

00:29:13been others.

00:29:13I can't remember.

00:29:14You'd finished

00:29:14your dinner at

00:29:14that stage.

00:29:15No, I hadn't

00:29:16been served.

00:29:16Yet you'd got up

00:29:17and left

00:29:18throughout eating.

00:29:18Yeah.

00:29:20If you ransacked

00:29:21your room,

00:29:22attacked you

00:29:23last night and

00:29:24ran over your

00:29:24bag, he was

00:29:26obviously looking

00:29:26for something.

00:29:29Why the

00:29:30hesitation?

00:29:31I don't know.

00:29:34You're holding

00:29:34out on us,

00:29:35aren't you?

00:29:35When the

00:29:38German collapsed,

00:29:39his glass fell

00:29:40on the floor

00:29:40and rolled

00:29:41under my

00:29:41table.

00:29:42You still

00:29:43have it?

00:29:43No.

00:29:45Was it in

00:29:45your overnight

00:29:45bag?

00:29:46No.

00:29:48I think you'd

00:29:49better let us

00:29:49hear the full

00:29:50story.

00:29:51I gave it to

00:29:52someone to have

00:29:53it analysed.

00:29:54Who?

00:29:55A girl.

00:29:56Look, I don't

00:29:56want her involved

00:29:57in this.

00:29:57She was with you

00:29:58in Skibberine.

00:29:59Yeah.

00:30:01Look, we're not

00:30:01interested in your

00:30:02morals, Mr.

00:30:03Regan.

00:30:03If you are

00:30:04away on a dirty

00:30:04weekend, that's

00:30:05your own

00:30:05business.

00:30:05I wasn't

00:30:06away on a dirty

00:30:06weekend.

00:30:07We had separate

00:30:07rooms.

00:30:08You'd better

00:30:09come back to

00:30:09this station

00:30:10with us.

00:30:11We'll hold

00:30:11on while you

00:30:11get dressed.

00:30:12I've told you

00:30:12everything I know.

00:30:13Why do you

00:30:13want me to go

00:30:14to the station?

00:30:14If you're

00:30:15correct, the

00:30:16German was

00:30:16poisoned.

00:30:17This is a

00:30:17murder

00:30:17investigation.

00:30:19We have

00:30:19procedures to

00:30:20follow.

00:30:21And we

00:30:21also want the

00:30:22name and

00:30:22address of the

00:30:23girl you were

00:30:24with in

00:30:24Skibberine.

00:30:35Please sit

00:30:39down, Miss

00:30:40Harkin.

00:30:41I'm Detective

00:30:42Superintendent

00:30:43Leeson, Detective

00:30:44Sergeant Fitz

00:30:45Joddleton, you've

00:30:45already met.

00:30:46I'm sorry to have

00:30:47taken away from your

00:30:48office, but I'll try

00:30:49and get you back

00:30:50there as quickly as

00:30:51possible.

00:30:51I haven't got the

00:30:52glass, Superintendent.

00:30:53I've already told him

00:30:54that.

00:30:55Where is it?

00:30:56I threw it in a litter

00:30:56bin.

00:30:57When?

00:30:58Last night, shortly

00:30:59after Michael gave

00:30:59it to me.

00:31:00Where?

00:31:01O'Connell Street,

00:31:02Westmoreland Street,

00:31:02I'm not sure.

00:31:04Regan says he gave

00:31:05it to you to have it

00:31:06analysed.

00:31:06I hadn't the

00:31:07slightest intention

00:31:08of having it

00:31:08analysed.

00:31:09Despite the fact

00:31:10that you knew that

00:31:11it could have

00:31:11contained traces of

00:31:12a lethal poison?

00:31:13The German wasn't

00:31:14poisoned, Superintendent.

00:31:16He died of a

00:31:16massive heart attack.

00:31:17The doctor in

00:31:18Skibberine will

00:31:19confirm that if you

00:31:19contact him.

00:31:20I already have.

00:31:21Then what is the

00:31:22point in continuing

00:31:23with this stupid

00:31:24investigation?

00:31:25Michael isn't well.

00:31:26Surely you realise

00:31:27that from talking to him.

00:31:29How long do you

00:31:29know him?

00:31:30Do I have to have

00:31:31my personal life

00:31:32dragged into this?

00:31:33You were engaged,

00:31:33I believe.

00:31:35Yes.

00:31:36We planned to

00:31:37marry when his

00:31:38contract in Dubai

00:31:38ended.

00:31:40While he was away,

00:31:41I met somebody

00:31:41else, so I broke

00:31:42off the engagement.

00:31:42Then why did you

00:31:43spend the weekend

00:31:43with him in Skibberine?

00:31:44When he returned

00:31:45from Dubai, I was

00:31:46on holiday in Greece.

00:31:47When I got back,

00:31:48he'd contracted

00:31:49some kind of virus

00:31:50and was down in the

00:31:51country in his

00:31:52parents' home

00:31:52convalescing.

00:31:53I didn't see him

00:31:54till a week ago.

00:31:56I wasn't happy

00:31:57about what I'd done,

00:31:57so when he asked

00:31:58me to go away

00:31:59with him for the

00:31:59weekend, I agreed.

00:32:01Why did he go

00:32:02to Dubai?

00:32:03He was unsettled.

00:32:05After he qualified,

00:32:06he worked for a firm

00:32:07of consultancy.

00:32:09Complained that he

00:32:10wasn't getting any

00:32:10sight experience.

00:32:11He was sitting

00:32:12at a drawing board

00:32:12all day.

00:32:14Then he went to work

00:32:14for the Port Authority

00:32:15and they put him

00:32:16on a dredger

00:32:17analysing samples

00:32:18of silt from the

00:32:19seabed.

00:32:19He saw an ad for the

00:32:20job in Dubai,

00:32:21he applied and he

00:32:22got it.

00:32:22Have you ever

00:32:24known him to take

00:32:24drugs?

00:32:25No.

00:32:26Did it occur to you

00:32:27that he could be

00:32:27on drugs?

00:32:28I asked him and he

00:32:29said that he wasn't.

00:32:30Did you believe him?

00:32:32Yes.

00:32:33Michael was a

00:32:34fitness fanatic.

00:32:35He took the odd

00:32:36drink, he didn't

00:32:36smoke, he was into

00:32:37road running and

00:32:38swimming.

00:32:40Did you see the

00:32:41way to tamper with

00:32:42the gentleman's

00:32:43drink?

00:32:43Of course not.

00:32:44That's all out of

00:32:45baloney.

00:32:46Regan is convinced

00:32:46the drink was

00:32:47tampered with.

00:32:47How many times do

00:32:48I have to repeat

00:32:49myself?

00:32:50If the German

00:32:50wasn't poisoned,

00:32:51he died of a

00:32:52heart attack.

00:32:52So you'd been to

00:32:53medical school then,

00:32:54huh?

00:32:54What?

00:32:55Did Regan say

00:32:56anything to you

00:32:56about reporting

00:32:57the battle?

00:32:58Yes, he did.

00:32:59I persuaded him

00:32:59not to.

00:33:00Why?

00:33:01I went out with

00:33:02Michael for three

00:33:02years.

00:33:03I know him pretty

00:33:04well.

00:33:04Once he gets an

00:33:05idea into his

00:33:05head, nothing will

00:33:06convince him he's

00:33:07wrong.

00:33:07Suddenly, out of

00:33:08the blue, he

00:33:09conjures up this

00:33:10image that the

00:33:10German was poisoned.

00:33:11Can you imagine

00:33:12the fuss and the

00:33:13bother?

00:33:13Everyone in the

00:33:14hotel had been

00:33:14questioned.

00:33:15The whole thing's

00:33:15a sick joke.

00:33:16Why did you choose

00:33:17to go to

00:33:18Skibberine?

00:33:19We'd been there

00:33:19a few times when

00:33:20I was going out

00:33:21with them.

00:33:21Seems a long way

00:33:22to go for a

00:33:23weekend.

00:33:24Are you implying

00:33:25that there was

00:33:25something sinister

00:33:26in our going to

00:33:27Skibberine?

00:33:28What time did you

00:33:28get back to

00:33:29Dublin last night?

00:33:30Around six.

00:33:31Was Regan

00:33:31drinking?

00:33:32No.

00:33:33We had a bottle

00:33:34of wine with

00:33:34our meal.

00:33:35I drank most of

00:33:36it.

00:33:36What time did

00:33:37you leave him?

00:33:38About eight.

00:33:40And you went

00:33:41home then?

00:33:41Yes, I was

00:33:42tired.

00:33:43And on your

00:33:43way, you threw

00:33:44the glass in a

00:33:45little bin in

00:33:46O'Connell Street.

00:33:46Oh, West

00:33:47Molan Street, I

00:33:48can't be sure.

00:33:49Did Regan say

00:33:49where he was

00:33:50going after you

00:33:50left him?

00:33:51To his apartment,

00:33:52I presume.

00:33:54When he left

00:33:54the hotel dining

00:33:55room, how long

00:33:57was it till he

00:33:57returned to the

00:33:58hotel?

00:33:59Close on two

00:34:00hours.

00:34:01You asked him

00:34:01where he went?

00:34:02He said he went

00:34:03for a walk

00:34:03through the streets.

00:34:05For two hours?

00:34:07Skibberine's a

00:34:07small town,

00:34:08Miss O'Keefe.

00:34:09He was in a

00:34:09state of shock.

00:34:10He believed the

00:34:11German had been

00:34:12murdered.

00:34:12When I saw him

00:34:13again, he was

00:34:13ashen.

00:34:14He didn't even

00:34:15realize that he'd

00:34:16been gone for two

00:34:17hours.

00:34:17He thought the

00:34:18dining room was

00:34:19still open.

00:34:21Well, I think

00:34:22that's all for the

00:34:23time being.

00:34:24Thank you, Miss

00:34:24O'Keefe.

00:34:25Is that it?

00:34:26Am I free to go

00:34:28now?

00:34:28There is just one

00:34:29other thing.

00:34:30We'd like you both

00:34:30to help us with a

00:34:31fortified of the

00:34:32Frenchmen.

00:34:33What do you mean

00:34:34both?

00:34:35Michael is still

00:34:36here.

00:34:36You're holding him?

00:34:38No, no, no.

00:34:38Just routine, I

00:34:39assure you.

00:34:40Where there's a

00:34:40suspicion of

00:34:41foul play, the

00:34:42formalities can

00:34:43take some time.

00:34:44If you'll come

00:34:45this way.

00:34:46So, you are

00:34:48taking this

00:34:48seriously?

00:34:53Regan and the

00:34:54girl have just

00:34:55left super.

00:34:56Together?

00:34:57Yeah, I offered

00:34:58them a lift, but

00:34:58they said no.

00:34:59Regan called a

00:35:00taxi.

00:35:01You've organized

00:35:01surveillance.

00:35:02I have, yeah.

00:35:03Sharky's following

00:35:04Regan, and O'Donnell

00:35:04is keeping tabs on

00:35:05the girl.

00:35:06Do you believe her

00:35:07story about the

00:35:08glass?

00:35:08I'm skeptical.

00:35:09If she did

00:35:10throw it into a

00:35:11litter bin, there

00:35:12is no hope of

00:35:12recovery.

00:35:13I've been on to

00:35:13the corporation, and

00:35:14they say all city

00:35:15center street bins

00:35:16were empty at

00:35:16seven this morning

00:35:17and transferred to

00:35:18a crusher lorry for

00:35:19delivery to the

00:35:19tip.

00:35:20That's assuming

00:35:20there was a

00:35:21glass there in

00:35:21the first place.

00:35:22You think they

00:35:23concocted the

00:35:23story?

00:35:24Well, I have

00:35:24serious doubts

00:35:25about Regan,

00:35:26super.

00:35:27I mean, why did

00:35:27the Frenchman bother

00:35:28to go into the

00:35:28house?

00:35:29Now, if I wanted

00:35:29to swipe somebody's

00:35:30bag, I'd do it

00:35:31outside on the

00:35:32street.

00:35:32Well, Regan would

00:35:33hardly do himself

00:35:34an injury.

00:35:35That required six

00:35:36stitches.

00:35:36He said he had

00:35:37a few drinks.

00:35:38He could have

00:35:38generally fallen

00:35:39down the stairs,

00:35:40made up the story

00:35:41of an attacker,

00:35:42because it suited

00:35:43his plans to

00:35:43switch the inquiry

00:35:44up a blind alley.

00:35:45If Regan isn't

00:35:46on the level, the

00:35:47girl has to be

00:35:47implicated as well.

00:35:49That story she

00:35:50told us about a

00:35:50busted romance

00:35:51doesn't gel either,

00:35:52super.

00:35:53As soon as she

00:35:54saw him upstairs,

00:35:54she threw her

00:35:55arms around him.

00:35:56They left holding

00:35:56hands.

00:35:58Let's wait and see

00:35:59what the autopsy

00:35:59turns up.

00:36:01The pathologist

00:36:01is on his way

00:36:02to skibberine.

00:36:03Whatever the

00:36:04result of the

00:36:04autopsy, I still

00:36:05think Regan

00:36:06isn't as innocent

00:36:07as he makes

00:36:08out.

00:36:09He's a smart

00:36:10little bastard.

00:36:12If you ask me,

00:36:13he's playing

00:36:14games.

00:36:19Anything else?

00:36:20No, thanks.

00:36:21Well, that's

00:36:21140, please.

00:36:24No, that's

00:36:25okay.

00:36:26Why did you tell

00:36:28them I had the

00:36:29glass?

00:36:30I'm sorry.

00:36:31I had to.

00:36:31My story didn't

00:36:32make sense.

00:36:32Otherwise...

00:36:33It's okay.

00:36:35Why did you

00:36:35throw it in the

00:36:36letter bin?

00:36:36I didn't.

00:36:37David did.

00:36:39You told

00:36:39Gleeson that?

00:36:40No.

00:36:41Last night when I

00:36:42asked David if he'd

00:36:43analysed the glass,

00:36:44he went crazy.

00:36:45Quite a blazing

00:36:46round.

00:36:47If I involved him,

00:36:48he'd die for it.

00:36:48You're absolutely

00:36:51sure it was that

00:36:52French waiter who

00:36:53attacked you?

00:36:53I'm certain.

00:36:55If he has your

00:36:56address book, maybe

00:36:57he knows where I

00:36:58live too.

00:36:59Whatever the hell

00:37:00it is we've

00:37:00stumbled on, let

00:37:01Gleeson and that

00:37:01ignorant sod Fitzgerald

00:37:03sort it out.

00:37:03Oh, I'm shaking

00:37:04Michael.

00:37:05Look at my hand.

00:37:07I can hardly lift

00:37:08the cup.

00:37:08We're both wrecks.

00:37:09If I had to do it

00:37:10all over again, I'd

00:37:11leave that bloody

00:37:11glass where it was.

00:37:13Did they ask you

00:37:14if you were going

00:37:15back to Dubai?

00:37:16No, they didn't.

00:37:17And I wouldn't

00:37:17have told them if

00:37:18they had.

00:37:18It's none of their

00:37:18business.

00:37:19But it's what I'm

00:37:20going to do as soon

00:37:21as I can pick up a

00:37:21new passport and

00:37:22arrange a flight out.

00:37:23What'll you do

00:37:24tonight?

00:37:25I'll have no plans.

00:37:27I'll mess around

00:37:27for a couple of

00:37:28hours, probably go

00:37:28to a film.

00:37:29We could meet up

00:37:30later on.

00:37:32What's the point?

00:37:33Do you not want

00:37:34to see me?

00:37:35And have you walk

00:37:36off as you did

00:37:36last night?

00:37:37Only a masochist

00:37:38would want to go

00:37:39through that again.

00:37:39I was really upset

00:37:41as well.

00:37:41I couldn't sleep

00:37:42for hours worrying

00:37:43about you.

00:37:45Please phone me,

00:37:46Michael.

00:37:46What time?

00:37:49About eight.

00:37:51Okay.

00:37:57Point of stout, sir.

00:38:00Thank you, sir.

00:38:01What's with the bandana

00:38:15on your head?

00:38:16Did you have an accident?

00:38:16I got belted last

00:38:18night.

00:38:19Oh, nothing.

00:38:19Yeah.

00:38:20Listen, Jesus,

00:38:21great.

00:38:21Do you want a pint

00:38:22or something?

00:38:22Oh, yeah, great.

00:38:23Yeah, pint us out

00:38:24if you can.

00:38:25Sorry, excuse me.

00:38:26Can I have another

00:38:26pint us out, please?

00:38:27Come down, sir.

00:38:28What are you doing

00:38:29with yourself,

00:38:30isn't it?

00:38:30Oh, well,

00:38:31finally made

00:38:43A Ned Gleason?

00:38:44A big man,

00:38:45red face.

00:38:46Looks like

00:38:46somebody's uncle

00:38:47up at the horseshoe.

00:38:48That's him.

00:38:48Sure it is.

00:38:50A shrewd operator.

00:38:52Has quite a reputation.

00:38:53And do you know

00:38:54a detective

00:38:54Sergeant Fitzgerald?

00:38:55Oh, God.

00:38:56Jesus, Fitzie?

00:38:57Who doesn't?

00:38:59A rough bastard.

00:39:00Used to be

00:39:00in the drug squad.

00:39:02Someone told me

00:39:03his eldest son

00:39:04got hooked.

00:39:04Ever since then

00:39:05he's declared

00:39:05war on pushers.

00:39:07And I whacked

00:39:08the shit out

00:39:08of one of them

00:39:09a year back.

00:39:10Turned out

00:39:10it was the pushers

00:39:11brother he mishandled.

00:39:12So they claimed.

00:39:14So, uh,

00:39:15how come you're

00:39:15involved with this

00:39:16mob, Mike?

00:39:17Have you happened

00:39:18early, Scott?

00:39:19Sure.

00:39:21You okay?

00:39:22Yeah, well,

00:39:24listen, uh,

00:39:24the big bloke

00:39:25with the red hair

00:39:26and the blue

00:39:26antirac on my left.

00:39:28He's his ear cocked.

00:39:29Let's move over here

00:39:30to the corner.

00:39:41So, uh,

00:39:42they grilled you

00:39:43for four hours?

00:39:44Oh, I don't know.

00:39:45Yeah, they're

00:39:45onto something, Mike.

00:39:46You think they have

00:39:47all their information?

00:39:48Of course they have.

00:39:49I was down

00:39:50skibbering myself

00:39:51when Schmidt bought

00:39:51the farm.

00:39:52The rumours flying

00:39:53around.

00:39:54What kind of rumours?

00:39:55Drugs.

00:39:56I don't know if

00:39:57they were malicious

00:39:57or not, but the

00:39:58local grapevine

00:39:59had it.

00:39:59Schmidt was into

00:40:00drugs.

00:40:02By the way,

00:40:04did you ask for

00:40:05protection?

00:40:05No.

00:40:06Why?

00:40:07A friend at the

00:40:07counter with the

00:40:08red hair, the earwigger.

00:40:10He's been watching us

00:40:10in the mirror.

00:40:12He's a cop.

00:40:13Are you sure?

00:40:14Written all over.

00:40:15Where did you go

00:40:16this afternoon,

00:40:17by the way?

00:40:18Well, me and

00:40:18Brenda had a cup

00:40:19of coffee and

00:40:20she went back to

00:40:20work.

00:40:21I went there

00:40:21for them,

00:40:21now to come in

00:40:22here.

00:40:23You didn't

00:40:23notice them

00:40:23before?

00:40:24No.

00:40:26If you didn't

00:40:26ask for protection,

00:40:27there's only one

00:40:27other explanation.

00:40:29I'm under

00:40:29surveillance.

00:40:30Right.

00:40:31Look, Mike,

00:40:32let's slip back

00:40:33to the office.

00:40:34I can check

00:40:34what the news

00:40:35room has been

00:40:35happening.

00:40:42Relax.

00:40:43Nothing from

00:40:44the newsroom.

00:40:45By the way,

00:40:47your tail is still

00:40:48across the street.

00:40:50Where?

00:40:50The doorway of

00:40:51the shoe shop

00:40:52opposite.

00:40:54And that's not

00:40:54very much mistaken,

00:40:55he's carrying a

00:40:56Smith & Wesson 38

00:40:57in a shoulder

00:40:58holster under

00:40:58that anorak.

00:40:59This is turning

00:40:59to be a bloody

00:41:00nightmare.

00:41:01Listen, don't

00:41:02panic, Mike.

00:41:02Take it easy.

00:41:03What's the idea

00:41:04of putting me

00:41:04under surveillance?

00:41:06They don't think

00:41:06I'm mixed up

00:41:07on a drugs racket,

00:41:07do they?

00:41:08Well, they have

00:41:09devious minds.

00:41:10Mind you,

00:41:11there is another

00:41:11possibility.

00:41:13And what's that?

00:41:13they're hoping

00:41:16that the Frenchman

00:41:16is telling you

00:41:17as well.

00:41:18Oh, look,

00:41:50Uh, yeah,

00:42:48He's lost Regan.

00:42:49Where's Sharky

00:42:50now?

00:42:50He's still in

00:42:51town outside the

00:42:52newspaper office.

00:42:52Regan met some

00:42:53bloke in the pub

00:42:54across the way,

00:42:54Bose's pub.

00:42:56Sharky thinks he's

00:42:56a reporter.

00:42:57They went into the

00:42:58newspaper office a

00:42:59couple of hours ago.

00:43:00The reporter has

00:43:01been in and out a

00:43:01few times since,

00:43:02but there's no

00:43:03sign of Regan.

00:43:05How about the

00:43:05flat?

00:43:06He hasn't shown up

00:43:06there either.

00:43:07The girl's place?

00:43:08No, she's at

00:43:09home.

00:43:10She went in around

00:43:11about seven.

00:43:12Get over there.

00:43:13Find out if she

00:43:13knows where Regan

00:43:50Branda, Michael.

00:43:51Michael, where the

00:43:51hell are you?

00:43:52Fitzgerald was here

00:43:53looking for you.

00:43:54When?

00:43:54An hour ago.

00:43:55He said if you ring to

00:43:56find out where you

00:43:57are.

00:43:57The bastards set me

00:43:58up.

00:43:59What do you mean,

00:44:00set you up?

00:44:00I have an armed cop on

00:44:01me tail all afternoon.

00:44:03Fitzgerald said they

00:44:04were watching you for

00:44:04your own protection.

00:44:05Like hell they were.

00:44:07I'm pretty certain

00:44:08you're under surveillance

00:44:08too.

00:44:09Michael, I'm scared.

00:44:10If there's something

00:44:11I don't know, please

00:44:12tell me.

00:44:13They have information.

00:44:14It's to do with drugs.

00:44:16Where are you now?

00:44:17I can't say.

00:44:18I have to call Fitzgerald

00:44:19back, Michael.

00:44:20Just tell him I'm

00:44:21lying low.

00:44:22If they want to

00:44:22nab the Frenchman,

00:44:23they're not using me

00:44:24as bait.

00:44:24Are you in danger?

00:44:26I don't think so.

00:44:27Listen, I'll ring you

00:44:28again tomorrow morning.

00:44:29If you don't hear from

00:44:30me by twelve, get in

00:44:31touch with Joe Quirk.

00:44:33Have you a pen?

00:44:34Yes.

00:44:35He has two numbers.

00:44:37The first one is

00:44:37five oh seven.

00:44:45Come on, Joe.

00:44:48Come on.

00:44:50It's Quirk here.

00:44:51Joe, Mike Regan,

00:44:52how's it going?

00:44:53Listen, any developments?

00:44:55Schmidt was poisoned, Mike.

00:44:57Listen, where are you?

00:44:58I checked in somewhere.

00:44:59All right, stay there,

00:45:00okay?

00:45:02Confidential information,

00:45:03Mike.

00:45:04They found heroin

00:45:05in Schmidt's house

00:45:06in Baltimore

00:45:07and a huge quantity

00:45:08of morphine base.

00:45:10They suspect the

00:45:11Frenchman is a

00:45:12hard hit man.

00:45:13Oh, Christ.

00:45:15I had a visit from

00:45:16Fitzy.

00:45:17And what did you tell him?

00:45:18Nothing, of course.

00:45:20I'm just worried that

00:45:20some people may be

00:45:21wondering why you

00:45:22turned up in

00:45:22Skibbereen on Sunday

00:45:23night.

00:45:25And I don't mean the

00:45:25cops, you understand?

00:45:27Yeah.

00:45:28Well, what do you

00:45:29think I should do?

00:45:31Just don't let anybody

00:45:33know where you are.

00:45:34Stay there, okay?

00:45:36Oh, and Mike.

00:45:37Yeah?

00:45:38Fitzy might be a

00:45:39bastard, but he knows

00:45:40what he's doing.

00:45:42Yeah, listen, thanks,

00:45:43Joe.

00:45:43I'll call you first thing,

00:45:44okay?

00:45:45Yeah, take care.

00:45:46Okay.

00:45:46Yeah?

00:45:46Good morning, sir.

00:46:10Good morning, sir.

00:46:11Good morning.

00:46:16Yeah.

00:46:16Great.

00:46:17Thanks.

00:46:17Thank you, sir.

00:46:43Estate.

00:46:43The car involved in

00:46:45the accident failed to

00:46:46stop and was last

00:46:47seen heading off at

00:46:48speed in the

00:46:48Rathfarnham direction.

00:46:50The dead man is

00:46:51believed to be the

00:46:52managing director of a

00:46:53German electronics

00:46:54firm.

00:46:55His name was held

00:46:56until his relatives

00:46:57have been informed.

00:46:59Garda and Tala are

00:47:00anxious to contact the

00:47:01owner of a white

00:47:02Ford Sierra,

00:47:03registration number

00:47:04ASI 842.

00:47:06two.

00:47:06Right.

00:47:13Okay, Mr. Regan.

00:47:17You checked into the hotel

00:47:19last night at 10 o'clock.

00:47:21You left the newspaper

00:47:21office at seven.

00:47:23Where were you in

00:47:24between?

00:47:25Covering me tracks to make

00:47:26sure no one was following

00:47:27me.

00:47:27I want to know where you

00:47:28went.

00:47:29Well, I took a couple of

00:47:30bus trips trying to decide

00:47:31where I'd stay.

00:47:32Where was your car?

00:47:34Where I left it on

00:47:34Monday night in the car

00:47:35park in the mall.

00:47:36Well, you haven't been

00:47:37back to your car since

00:47:38Monday night?

00:47:38No.

00:47:39I put it to you that

00:47:40between seven and ten

00:47:41last night you collected

00:47:43your car, parked it,

00:47:44then checked into the

00:47:45hotel under the name

00:47:46Thomas Kennedy.

00:47:48Early this morning you

00:47:49slipped out of the hotel

00:47:50through the window of

00:47:50your ground floor room,

00:47:52drove to Tala,

00:47:53killed Hoffmoyer,

00:47:53abandoned the camera,

00:47:54and got back into the

00:47:56hotel through the window

00:47:57in time for breakfast.

00:47:58No.

00:47:58You invented a story

00:47:59that the Frenchman

00:47:59attacked you on Monday

00:48:00night because your

00:48:01whole purpose was to

00:48:02divert attention from

00:48:03yourself by spinning this

00:48:05elaborate web of lies

00:48:06so that you could kill

00:48:07Hoffmoyer.

00:48:08Are you going to try and

00:48:09tell me I killed Schmidt

00:48:10too?

00:48:12We have a witness who

00:48:15saw you running away

00:48:16after you abandoned your

00:48:17car in Raffarnum.

00:48:19Look, I wasn't there.

00:48:21I had nothing to do with

00:48:23Hoffmoyer's death.

00:48:24You were afraid he'd

00:48:25talk, so you killed him.

00:48:26If I killed him, why

00:48:28would I have come here

00:48:28voluntarily?

00:48:30Why would I have used

00:48:31my own car?

00:48:32Because you're a cute

00:48:33shagger, huh?

00:48:34You went to the Middle

00:48:35East and saw the chance

00:48:36to make some big money,

00:48:38but the deal went wrong,

00:48:39didn't it, huh?

00:48:40I'm a civil engineer.

00:48:41I went to the Middle

00:48:42East to work on a

00:48:42harbour project.

00:48:44You were sent out there

00:48:45by somebody to procure

00:48:46Morphine base and ship

00:48:47it back.

00:48:48Your job as a civil

00:48:49engineer was a cover.

00:48:51Bollocks.

00:48:51Schmidt recruited you to

00:48:53go to the Middle East.

00:48:53The first time I saw

00:48:55Schmidt was when he

00:48:55walked into the hotel

00:48:56on Sunday night.

00:48:57Then something went

00:48:58wrong, isn't that right,

00:48:59huh?

00:49:00You had a row with

00:49:01Schmidt, perhaps.

00:49:02You came back to see

00:49:03Schmidt, decided to go to

00:49:05Skibbereen to sort it out.

00:49:07Then Schmidt got killed.

00:49:09And you covered your

00:49:09tracks with a pack of lies

00:49:10about a broken engagement.

00:49:12If it hadn't have been

00:49:13for the broken engagement,

00:49:14I wouldn't have been

00:49:14anywhere near Skibbereen.

00:49:16Then you invent some

00:49:17Mickey Mouse story about

00:49:18a waiter being a hired

00:49:20killer and use it as a

00:49:21cover to buy time so that

00:49:23you could kill Hoffmire.

00:49:24I never heard of

00:49:25Hoffmire until you

00:49:26mentioned him.

00:49:26Hoffmire was in on the

00:49:27game.

00:49:28You were afraid he'd

00:49:28spill the beans so you

00:49:29killed him.

00:49:30Have you ever had

00:49:31psychiatric treatment?

00:49:34They said you parked

00:49:35that car in the mall on

00:49:36Monday night.

00:49:37Yeah, after you and the

00:49:38guy returned from Skibbereen.

00:49:39Yeah.

00:49:40You told me you didn't

00:49:42go back to it.

00:49:42That's correct.

00:49:43Your story is that

00:49:44somebody else picked it

00:49:45up.

00:49:45Well, somebody must have

00:49:46done it if it was used

00:49:47to kill Hoffmire.

00:49:48Well, can you turn up

00:49:48the car parking ticket?

00:49:49No.

00:49:50Why not?

00:49:51Well, because I left it

00:49:51in the car.

00:49:52So somebody else could

00:49:53pick up your car.

00:49:54Look, you're wasting

00:49:55your time.

00:49:56I know nothing about

00:49:57drugs, about Schmidt or

00:49:59Hoffmire or anybody

00:50:00else.

00:50:00Who killed Tassie and

00:50:01Padroni?

00:50:02Look, I never heard of

00:50:03Tassie and Padroni.

00:50:05Look, don't try and

00:50:06bullshit me.

00:50:07Come on, who killed

00:50:07them?

00:50:07I'm not answering any

00:50:08more questions.

00:50:10If you want to sweat

00:50:11it out, that's up to

00:50:12you.

00:50:13Sooner or later, you're

00:50:14going to have to tell us

00:50:15the truth.

00:50:16I want to see a

00:50:16solicitor.

00:50:17You will see a

00:50:18solicitor when you're

00:50:19charged.

00:50:20Charged with what?

00:50:22To begin with,

00:50:24Hoffmire's murder.

00:50:25Right, so that's the

00:50:45end of that super, huh?

00:50:46Regan's on the level

00:50:47fix.

00:50:48Interpol have been in

00:50:49touch.

00:50:50They've identified the

00:50:51fortified we sent him as

00:50:52Pierre Dubois, the string of

00:50:55aliases.

00:50:56The French police believe

00:50:57he's been involved in

00:50:58several contract killings,

00:50:59but haven't been able to

00:51:00nail him.

00:51:00That report from House,

00:51:01that trawler business,

00:51:02there's a strong possibility

00:51:04that could be him.

00:51:04They've interviewed the

00:51:05skipper again.

00:51:06He confirms the time,

00:51:08four this morning.

00:51:09He reported the incident

00:51:10because the man didn't

00:51:11come up the slipway.

00:51:12He clambered over the rock,

00:51:13hammering as if he didn't

00:51:14want to be seen.

00:51:16He's in no doubt he drove

00:51:17off in a white Sierra.

00:51:18He didn't get the number,

00:51:19but I think we can assume

00:51:20it's the one used in the

00:51:21Hoffmire killing.

00:51:23The yacht he saw him

00:51:24leave belongs to a

00:51:25Thomas Malone.

00:51:26Will we check Malone

00:51:27out?

00:51:27I've done that.

00:51:29Born in Liverpool,

00:51:30ex-seaman, lives in an

00:51:32expensive spread up near

00:51:33the summit, owns a

00:51:34shipping agency.

00:51:36One of the lines he

00:51:37handles is a feeder

00:51:38service to Le Havre,

00:51:39which transships

00:51:40container cargo to the

00:51:41States.

00:51:41But then Hoffmire

00:51:42exported through Le Havre,

00:51:43and if he was using

00:51:44Malone, then his stuff

00:51:45was going to the States.

00:51:46That's exactly what was

00:51:47happening up to a year

00:51:48ago.

00:51:49Fact number two, Malone

00:51:51handled Tassie's food

00:51:52imports from the Middle

00:51:53East.

00:51:54They too parted company a

00:51:55year ago.

00:51:56We also know the drug

00:51:58squad found a huge

00:51:58quantity of morphine

00:51:59base in Schmidt's house

00:52:00in Baltimore.

00:52:02Put the three together.

00:52:03Right, right.

00:52:03So Tassie's importing

00:52:04morphine base through

00:52:05Malone.

00:52:06The morphine base has

00:52:07gone down to Schmidt and

00:52:08Baltimore, who's

00:52:08manufacturing the heroin,

00:52:09then shipping it out with

00:52:10Hoffmire to the States,

00:52:12again through Malone.

00:52:13So presiding over the

00:52:14entire operation is that

00:52:15bastard Malone?

00:52:16Until they got greedy and

00:52:18cut Malone out.

00:52:19What about Padroni?

00:52:21Let's say he was here to

00:52:22protect the American

00:52:23interest.

00:52:24Well, how do we nail

00:52:25Malone?

00:52:26Presumably you've got

00:52:27round-the-clock

00:52:27surveillance.

00:52:28A hell of a lot more

00:52:29than surveillance.

00:52:30We have to set Malone

00:52:31up.

00:52:32Arrange a rendezvous with

00:52:33Regan as our star

00:52:35witness to Schmidt's

00:52:36murder.

00:52:36Jesus, it doesn't have

00:52:37to be Regan.

00:52:37I mean, the eunuch can

00:52:38handle it.

00:52:39No way.

00:52:40He was a stand-in and

00:52:40we've blown it.

00:52:41The cute French whore

00:52:43seen him close up.

00:52:44I know it's unethical.

00:52:45If anything goes wrong,

00:52:46I'll live with the

00:52:46consequences.

00:52:47What do those evil

00:52:48bastards know about

00:52:49ethics?

00:52:50Fight fire with fire.

00:52:51What if Regan doesn't

00:52:52cooperate?

00:52:52No, he will, Fitz.

00:52:54I'll leave him no

00:52:55alternative.

00:52:56Come in.

00:52:59Super, there's a

00:53:00Miss O'Keefe at the

00:53:00desk.

00:53:01She wants to know

00:53:02what's happened to

00:53:02Michael Regan.

00:53:03Ask her to wait.

00:53:05I'll talk for later.

00:53:06Very good, sir.

00:53:09Do you want me to

00:53:09see her, Super?

00:53:10No, I'll do it.

00:53:12Get Regan for me.

00:53:13Right.

00:53:18Sit down, Michael.

00:53:20I have nothing to do

00:53:20with Hoffmeyer's death.

00:53:21I never even heard of

00:53:23Hoffmeyer.

00:53:23We know that.

00:53:24Then why did you set

00:53:25that psychopath Fitzgerald

00:53:27loose on me?

00:53:27Fitz was only doing his

00:53:29job.

00:53:29On your instructions.

00:53:31Why not sit down and

00:53:32I'll tell you what we

00:53:32know?

00:53:33Hmm?

00:53:37We believe we've

00:53:38established the

00:53:39whereabouts of the

00:53:40Frenchman.

00:53:41We suspect he's

00:53:42already killed four

00:53:43members of a drugs

00:53:44ring set up to

00:53:45manufacture heroin for

00:53:46the American market.

00:53:47If you know where he

00:53:47is, arrest him.

00:53:48It's not that simple.

00:53:50He's been sheltered by

00:53:51a shipping agent called

00:53:52Malone, who we suspect

00:53:53was part of this ring.

00:53:55The four dead men got

00:53:56greedy and ditched him,

00:53:58so Malone hired the

00:53:59Frenchman to kill them.

00:54:00To confirm Malone's

00:54:02link with the

00:54:02Frenchman, we have to

00:54:03set him up.

00:54:05Where do I fit in?

00:54:07I want you to make a

00:54:08phone call.

00:54:09To who?

00:54:10Malone.

00:54:10No.

00:54:12Michael, I have to be

00:54:13brutally honest with

00:54:14you.

00:54:15Malone is a drugs

00:54:16baron, an evil man.

00:54:18He has your address

00:54:19book.

00:54:20He knows you have

00:54:20Middle East

00:54:21connections.

00:54:22He believes it's not

00:54:23coincidence you are in

00:54:24Skibberine on Sunday

00:54:25night.

00:54:25Do you understand what

00:54:26I'm saying?

00:54:27That's sheer conjecture.

00:54:28What would you do if

00:54:29you're Malone?

00:54:30Hmm?

00:54:31The way he sees it,

00:54:32you're involved.

00:54:33You have information on

00:54:34him.

00:54:35He has a high profile in

00:54:37the business life of the

00:54:37city.

00:54:38That's his cover.

00:54:39Do you think he's going

00:54:40to risk all that when he

00:54:41has an easy alternative?

00:54:43The Frenchman is a

00:54:44hired assassin.

00:54:45That's how he makes his

00:54:45living.

00:54:46Human life means nothing

00:54:48to him.

00:54:49If Malone gives him an

00:54:50order, he'll carry it

00:54:52out.

00:54:53Not only you.

00:54:54Brenda as well.

00:54:55But can't you harass

00:54:56them on suspicion?

00:54:57We have nothing on him

00:54:58that'll stick.

00:54:59And we lose the

00:54:59Frenchman.

00:55:00If we're lucky and we

00:55:02pin down the Frenchman,

00:55:02we lose Malone.

00:55:04The only sure way we can

00:55:05get them both is by

00:55:06establishing the

00:55:07connection.

00:55:09Would you like some

00:55:10time to think it over?

00:55:12And if I don't

00:55:13cooperate?

00:55:13We'll do our best to

00:55:16protect you.

00:55:17We can't guarantee

00:55:18anything.

00:55:18We're dead.

00:55:19That's what you're

00:55:20telling me.

00:55:20Unless we apprehend

00:55:21them.

00:55:23Drugs is a dirty, nasty

00:55:24business, Michael.

00:55:25It's international.

00:55:27Even in Dubai, you

00:55:28won't be safe.

00:55:30These are determined

00:55:31cold-blooded criminals.

00:55:34Malone is a killer here

00:55:34to do his bidding.

00:55:35He won't hesitate.

00:55:38All right.

00:55:40What do you want me to

00:55:41say?

00:55:59Yes?

00:56:00Mr. Malone?

00:56:01Yes?

00:56:03My name's Michael

00:56:04Regan.

00:56:05Just hold for a moment,

00:56:06please.

00:56:11Yes?

00:56:11As a result of an

00:56:13accident in Taylor

00:56:14this morning in which

00:56:15my car was used to

00:56:16kill your former

00:56:17colleague, Mr.

00:56:18Hoffmeyer, the guards

00:56:18are looking for me.

00:56:21I haven't the faintest

00:56:22idea what you're

00:56:23talking about.

00:56:24I think you do.

00:56:25Listen very carefully.

00:56:27Four men are dead.

00:56:28I have information

00:56:29connecting you with

00:56:30their deaths.

00:56:31I'm prepared to

00:56:32withhold that

00:56:32information in

00:56:33exchange for a

00:56:34certain favor.

00:56:35Do you understand?

00:56:36Are you sure you

00:56:39have the right number?

00:56:40Yeah, perfectly sure.

00:56:41I'm in serious

00:56:42difficulty, Mr.

00:56:43Malone, and I

00:56:43don't have much

00:56:44time.

00:56:45I must get out of

00:56:46this country before

00:56:46the authorities find

00:56:47me.

00:56:49A container ship

00:56:49called the Acacia

00:56:51into your agency

00:56:51is due to birth at

00:56:52Ocean Pier in

00:56:53Dublin Port this

00:56:54evening.

00:56:55When the Acacia

00:56:56leaves tomorrow for

00:56:57the Havre, I have

00:56:57to be on it.

00:56:59Tomorrow morning at

00:57:002am, that's 0200

00:57:02hours, I'll be at

00:57:03birth 33 at

00:57:05Ocean Pier under

00:57:06the 35-ton crane.

00:57:07I want you or

00:57:09your representative to

00:57:10meet me there to

00:57:10make sure I get

00:57:11aboard.

00:57:12If you're not

00:57:12there, I'll spill

00:57:13the beans.

00:57:15Okay, Mr.

00:57:15Malone?

00:57:16Perfect, Michael.

00:57:22Who turns up on

00:57:23Ocean Pier tomorrow

00:57:24morning at 2 o'clock?

00:57:25You do.

00:57:26Not on.

00:57:27If we use a double,

00:57:28we've blown it.

00:57:29The Frenchman knows

00:57:30you from the hotel.

00:57:31He followed you

00:57:32back from Skibarine.

00:57:33Saw you park your

00:57:34car in the bell,

00:57:35tailed you to the

00:57:36restaurant, to the

00:57:36pub, back to your

00:57:37apartment.

00:57:38If we send a stand

00:57:40in, he'll know it's

00:57:40a trap.

00:57:41We've blown it.

00:57:41We've lost him.

00:57:42You said it was

00:57:43Malone you were

00:57:44after?

00:57:44Malone too, but I'm

00:57:46certain Malone won't

00:57:47turn up on Ocean

00:57:47Pier.

00:57:48Then why did you

00:57:49ask me to make the

00:57:50phone call?

00:57:51If the Frenchman

00:57:52turns up, it can

00:57:53only be because Malone

00:57:54tipped him off.

00:57:54So I'm to meet

00:57:55this psychopath

00:57:57at two tomorrow

00:57:58morning in Dublin

00:57:58Docks and run the

00:57:59risk of being killed.

00:58:00We're professionals,

00:58:01Michael.

00:58:02We'll have men down

00:58:03their arm to the

00:58:03teeth.

00:58:04Enough firepower to

00:58:05start a small war.

00:58:06You'll be fully

00:58:07protected.

00:58:08I want to ring

00:58:08Brenda.

00:58:09Sorry, we need a

00:58:10total blackout for

00:58:11security reasons.

00:58:12Tomorrow you'll be

00:58:13free to do as you

00:58:14please, not today.

00:58:14No.

00:58:15I'm putting my life

00:58:16on the line.

00:58:17I want someone to

00:58:17know the circumstances.

00:58:19You'll be in no

00:58:19danger, Michael.

00:58:20You have my full

00:58:21assurance on that.

00:58:22You can have my

00:58:23cooperation provided

00:58:24I talk to Brenda.

00:58:25For all I know, I

00:58:27could end up on a

00:58:28slab tomorrow

00:58:28morning.

00:58:29What's the story

00:58:30then, huh?

00:58:31Michael Regan

00:58:31suspected of being a

00:58:33career for a drug

00:58:34syndicate trying to

00:58:35flee the country on a

00:58:36French container

00:58:37boat.

00:58:38You won't put that

00:58:39right.

00:58:39If you did, you'd be

00:58:40admitting your own

00:58:41failure, that you

00:58:42bungled the operation

00:58:43and got a totally

00:58:44innocent man killed.

00:58:46How do we know she

00:58:46won't talk to the

00:58:47papers?

00:58:48Your friend Quirk,

00:58:49for instance.

00:58:49She won't if I ask

00:58:51her not to.

00:58:52Okay, give me a

00:58:54couple of minutes.

00:58:54I'll get her in

00:58:55here.

00:58:55How are you going to

00:58:56manage that?

00:58:57Pick her up in a

00:58:57helicopter?

00:58:58I forgot to tell

00:58:59you.

00:59:00She's waiting

00:59:00outside.

00:59:01Forgot to tell

00:59:02me?

00:59:03Don't ask me to

00:59:04believe that crap.

00:59:05Did you turn

00:59:06Fitzgerald loose on

00:59:07her too?

00:59:11No, don't sit

00:59:12there.

00:59:13Goose and staff's

00:59:13wired.

00:59:14Over here.

00:59:16You mean those

00:59:17bastards Reeves

00:59:18dropping on us?

00:59:19Sure they are.

00:59:20Turn in towards

00:59:20the wall with

00:59:21your back to the

00:59:21desk.

00:59:24How long are you

00:59:24here?

00:59:25Shortly after two.

00:59:27When you hadn't

00:59:27found, I contacted

00:59:28Joe Quirk.

00:59:29We heard a

00:59:30garden message on

00:59:31the one o'clock

00:59:31news.

00:59:32Your car had

00:59:32been involved in

00:59:33a hit and run

00:59:33and they were

00:59:34looking for you.

00:59:34Keep your voice

00:59:35down.

00:59:35This is ridiculous.

00:59:37Let's go somewhere

00:59:38that we can talk.

00:59:39I can't.

00:59:40You're not in

00:59:40custody, are you?

00:59:41I mean, they

00:59:41told me that...

00:59:42The police

00:59:42asked me to do

00:59:43something.

00:59:44What?

00:59:46Apparently that

00:59:46was a drugs ring

00:59:47we walked into on

00:59:48Sunday night.

00:59:49Schmidt was part

00:59:50of it, so was

00:59:50Hoffmeyer.

00:59:51Oh, who's

00:59:51Hoffmeyer?

00:59:52The factory owner

00:59:53in Tallahue was

00:59:53run down this

00:59:54morning.

00:59:55They're on to

00:59:55another member of

00:59:56the ring called

00:59:57Malone.

00:59:58The others welched

00:59:59in him, so he

00:59:59had then...

01:00:00Do it, please.

01:00:01I have to.

01:00:02Why?

01:00:03Because I told

01:00:04Malone on the

01:00:04phone that I have

01:00:05information on him.

01:00:06Why did you make

01:00:07that stupid phone

01:00:08call Gleason set

01:00:09you up?

01:00:09Malone has my

01:00:10address book.

01:00:11I've been to

01:00:11Dubai.

01:00:12I was in

01:00:12Skibberine on

01:00:13Sunday night.

01:00:13I'm in trouble

01:00:14either way.

01:00:14Jesus, are we

01:00:15ever going to get

01:00:16out of this?

01:00:16That's why I'm

01:00:17cooperating, to get

01:00:18it over with.

01:00:20This is all my

01:00:21fault.

01:00:22I didn't believe

01:00:23you.

01:00:23If I'd let you go

01:00:24to the guards in

01:00:25Skibberine, none of

01:00:26this would have

01:00:26happened.

01:00:27Look, you're not

01:00:27to blame.

01:00:27Oh, yes, I am.

01:00:29Well, I mean, I'm

01:00:30the one who was

01:00:31stupid, not you.

01:00:35I don't suppose by

01:00:36any strange chance

01:00:37you still have that

01:00:39ring on you.

01:00:41Yeah.

01:00:42Well, would you

01:00:44like to put it back

01:00:44on my finger?

01:00:46What, Malone?

01:00:48Yeah.

01:00:49Now.

01:00:54There.

01:00:56Oh.

01:00:56I'll never take it

01:00:59off again.

01:01:00I promise you.

01:01:08Oh, I missed you,

01:01:09bud.

01:01:11But I'll make it

01:01:12up to you.

01:01:14Let me get this

01:01:15thing over with.

01:01:16We'll celebrate

01:01:17tomorrow.

01:01:21Mind yourself,

01:01:22Michael.

01:01:23I'll call you

01:01:24when I get back.

01:01:24You won't have

01:01:26to.

01:01:27I'm going to

01:01:28stay here.

01:01:471.15, Michael.

01:01:48Time to go.

01:01:50How do you feel?

01:01:51Look, your safety

01:01:54is our number

01:01:55one priority.

01:01:56We have been in

01:01:57the cabs of all

01:01:58the quayside cranes.

01:02:00Fitz is in the

01:02:00checkers hut

01:02:01between their

01:02:01transit sheds,

01:02:02you see, right

01:02:03here beside the

01:02:04ship.

01:02:04I'll be on the

01:02:05roof of the tea

01:02:05warehouse directing

01:02:06the operation.

01:02:08The taxi will

01:02:09drop you off here

01:02:10at the grain silo

01:02:11on Alexandra Key.

01:02:12Oh, get a police

01:02:13car.

01:02:13I'm not going

01:02:14down there in a

01:02:15taxi.

01:02:15Don't worry,

01:02:16the driver is

01:02:17special, Branch.

01:02:18When you get

01:02:18out of the taxi,

01:02:20walk up

01:02:20Alexandra Key

01:02:21and down

01:02:22Ocean Pier

01:02:23towards the

01:02:23container ship.

01:02:25Walk slowly

01:02:25past the ship,

01:02:26continue on down

01:02:27to the end of

01:02:28Ocean Pier,

01:02:28then turn back.

01:02:30What happens if he

01:02:31gets to me first?

01:02:32There's no chance

01:02:32of that.

01:02:33We've got the

01:02:34pier absolutely

01:02:34covered, and the

01:02:35second there's any

01:02:36movement, we'll be

01:02:37there.

01:02:38If you're in any

01:02:38danger, he'll be

01:02:39shot and disabled,

01:02:40okay?

01:02:42Malone's yacht sailed

01:02:43into Dublin Port two

01:02:44hours ago.

01:02:45He tied up at the

01:02:45dockyard wharf in

01:02:46Alexandra Basin.

01:02:47And what does

01:02:48that mean, that

01:02:49the Frenchman's

01:02:49on board?

01:02:50We don't think

01:02:51so.

01:02:52We know Malone is

01:02:52on board because

01:02:53he was seen taking

01:02:54the yacht out of

01:02:54Hoth.

01:02:55We're certain that

01:02:56the Frenchman is

01:02:57somewhere in the

01:02:57port, and Malone

01:02:58plans to pick him

01:02:59up.

01:03:01Okay, Michael?

01:03:02Aren't you going

01:03:03to sprinkle holy

01:03:04water on me?

01:03:10Here it goes.

01:03:14Onto Ocean Pier.

01:03:15like Gary Cooper

01:03:18and Houghton.

01:03:20Only it's not

01:03:21Houghton.

01:03:22It's two in the

01:03:23morning.

01:03:26Oh, Christ, I'm an

01:03:27idiot.

01:03:28How could they

01:03:28protect anybody in

01:03:29this light?

01:03:32Jesus, it's weird.

01:03:35They're up there in

01:03:36the crane cabs

01:03:37watching me.

01:03:39Where's the

01:03:40Frenchman?

01:03:42He could be

01:03:43anywhere in an

01:03:46empty container

01:03:47hiding in those

01:03:48stacks of timber

01:03:49alongside the

01:03:50transit sheds.

01:03:52There's the

01:03:53checkers hut.

01:03:55Fitzgerald lurking

01:03:56inside in the

01:03:57dark, itching to

01:03:57blow somebody to

01:03:58bits.

01:04:00Here's the

01:04:00ship.

01:04:04No sign of

01:04:04life.

01:04:06Walk past it,

01:04:07Gleason said.

01:04:08Continue on down

01:04:10to the end,

01:04:10then come back.

01:04:23Come in, Fitz.

01:04:24Are you

01:04:24receiving me?

01:04:24Over?

01:04:26Yeah, I'm here,

01:04:26super.

01:04:28Wingers

01:04:28reaches the end

01:04:29of the

01:04:29fear.

01:04:31Whenever you

01:04:31turn him back,

01:04:33there's no sign of

01:04:34any of

01:04:34his head.

01:04:36Wait a minute,

01:04:37wait a minute,

01:04:37wait a minute.

01:04:38He's approaching

01:04:40the ship

01:04:41again.

01:04:41Hold on.

01:04:45The yacht

01:04:45engine has

01:04:46started up

01:04:46super.

01:04:52He's pulling

01:04:53away from the

01:04:53dockyard

01:04:54wolf and

01:04:54heading towards

01:04:55the ocean

01:04:55pier.

01:05:02Fitz,
