0:01:06 > 0:01:08Good morning, Bernie.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Father, would you say a prayer to Our Lady for an intervention?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Is someone sick?- No. I want to pray for my daughter

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Almost 1,200 parking tickets.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30March 10th, speeding ticket.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33108 miles per hour.

0:01:34 > 0:01:39Just last month, another speeding ticket for 104 miles per hour.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43Well, I think that shows some improvement by my client, Judge.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47I'll alert mothers that it's safe to let their children on the streets.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50I... I deserve to lose this case, Judge,

0:01:50 > 0:01:55that's fair enough, you know, but if I can't drive,

0:01:55 > 0:01:59I can't do my job. I'm a journalist with the Sunday Independent...

0:01:59 > 0:02:02We all know who you are, Miss Guerin.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04That does not grant you immunity.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11TELEPHONE RINGS

0:02:17 > 0:02:21'This is Bernie Guerin. I can't take your call at the moment,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24'so please leave a message.'

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Mum? I'm driving.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32Can you believe it? He let me off. He actually let me off. I love you.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Oh, no. You're having me on.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38No. Just a £100 fine and a warning. I'm behind the wheel again.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- It's your ma, the criminal. - Hi, Ma.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45I hope you've learned a lesson and reformed your ways.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- 'You're not speeding now, are you?' - No, course I'm not.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, maybe a little.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55What did you say to that daft judge?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57'I told him I was guilty as sin.'

0:02:57 > 0:03:01And he let you off? Pleads a great case for judicial reform.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05SHE LAUGHS: Yeah. Another repeat offender returned to decent society.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10'This is Garda Detective Chris Mulligan. Please leave a message.'

0:03:10 > 0:03:14You didn't get me this time, Chris. Still got the wheels.

0:03:14 > 0:03:19I was fined, you're gonna love this, 100 quid. Can you believe it?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22You owe me lunch. You said wherever I want...

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- How much do you pay for one of those? - Few quid.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Anyway, it's cheaper to rent someone else's needle.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14- How about the score? - First one's free.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Well, I heard five pounds.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25We just say to some broad like you,

0:08:25 > 0:08:28"Gimme your money or I'll inject you with AIDS."

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- How old are you? - What's it to you?

0:08:35 > 0:08:39I'm writing a piece for the paper. I wanna know where you get the gear.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41And do your work for you?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Come back when you got some money.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15I fucking swear to God, fuck you.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Ah, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44You're an awful man, do you know that?

0:09:44 > 0:09:48What did you have to shoot your mouth off to the guards about me for?

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Did you think I wouldn't find out it was you?

0:09:52 > 0:09:56You know... I was thinking about killing you

0:09:56 > 0:09:59and then I thought to myself, "You know,

0:09:59 > 0:10:04"people get killed every day and nobody gives a shite."

0:10:04 > 0:10:08So, I've decided I'm going to have to hurt you a bit.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10HE MUMBLES

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Actually, I'm going to hurt you an awful lot.

0:10:13 > 0:10:18The good news is I'm going to do you myself. Oh, yeah, personally.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I mean, you don't want people thinking

0:10:21 > 0:10:24just because I've got me name in the papers and all that,

0:10:24 > 0:10:28that Martin Cahill is too posh to do his own dirty work,

0:10:28 > 0:10:30now do you?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40MUMBLES: Oh, for fuck's sake.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Let the gag out of his mouth.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Let the scumbag squeal. He's good at that.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48HE SCREAMS

0:10:48 > 0:10:51SHOUTING AND SCREAMS

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Here she is now. - Hiya. You're great.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I must be.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- How you doing? - Hi, Jimmy.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Off to a big news story, are we?

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Come on, Ronnie, give us the scoop. Who's the scumbag of the week?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Go and buy the paper, little brother.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- You ready for me? - Did I say something?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Don't look at me. She's your sister.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- You warm enough? - Yeah.- OK.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Night, darlin'.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- I'm in the other room if you need me.- OK.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24He won't have any trouble sleeping tonight.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- That's cos you wore him out on the football pitch.- Yeah.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32- What's up? - Nothin'.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Nothin' or somethin'?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's bollocks. What I'm writing.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Why don't you give yourself a bit of credit?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45So it's half-decent bollocks. It's light, it's human interest.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48It's bollocks.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52On that estate, on the street, there were needles everywhere.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Where kids were playing. - Jesus.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57You should have seen these wankers.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Standing there with their new Mercedes.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04How many five-pound hits of dope do you need to shift to buy a Mercedes?

0:13:04 > 0:13:08You do the maths. How many kids is that?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Nobody's writing about it. Nobody cares.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17Isn't that...? Someone needs to get after these bastards.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20They're making megabucks.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23That's what I should be writing about.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Now that wouldn't be bollocks.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34The pushers are using the underaged kids to do their business.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38They know the guards won't touch the kids. Everyone knows what goes on.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Eight kids from this block died from drugs last year. Eight.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- All under 15. Four were me sister Iris's kids.- Jesus, I'm sorry.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48TD's, guards, closed their eyes,

0:13:48 > 0:13:52called it a family problem. To some, these kids are dead already.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56We formed Concerned Parents Against Drugs. Made it our problem.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00- I'd love you to write something. - How often do you march?- Once a week.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- It's quite a commitment. - It's quite a problem.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Hey, you remember me?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Where those Cahill's lads in the van?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13What van?

0:14:13 > 0:14:16She can help, Timmy.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19You know, Martin Cahill? The General.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21You know him?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24What's your cut?

0:14:27 > 0:14:32- I better go. I can't be seen with yous.- Let us help you, Timmy.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36I can find you a good place to stay tonight. Tomorrow...

0:14:36 > 0:14:40Do yous want to have sex with me? I'm not expensive.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49- The bill, please. - He nicked your wallet.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- What do we want?- Pushers out. - When do we want it?- Now.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58- What do we want?- Pushers out. - When do we want it?- Now.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Are these marches always this small?

0:15:00 > 0:15:05- Well, hopefully with your help the word will get to more people.- Yeah.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I'll make sure it does.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13- When do we want it?- Now. - What do we want?- Pushers out.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Tommy Mullen! - You bastard!

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- What do we want?- Pushers out. - When do we want it?- Now.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- What do we want?- Pushers out. - When do we want it?- Now.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Pusher, pusher, pusher. - Out! Out! Out!

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Look who's got himself a new girlfriend.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- See you there then, John. - Yeah, go ahead.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56What the hell do you want?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Is that any way to talk to a lady?

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Ladies don't call on gentlemen unannounced.- Oh, we're a gentleman!

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Where's your manners? You didn't introduce me.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- If that's what you after. - You closing early?

0:16:10 > 0:16:14- One of the benefits of being self-employed.- You're amazing, John.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18No, really. You're a model of profitability.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22How to succeed in business without any customers.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I do well enough.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Yeah, well, there must be a few bob in those brothels on Athgar Road.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30What are they worth now, John?

0:16:30 > 0:16:34- You're a dangerous bitch, aren't you?- I do my best. Buy us a drink?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37That's the benefit of being self-employed, John.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40You are your own boss, aren't you?

0:16:40 > 0:16:44You're way off the mark, Veronica. Martin Cahill isn't into the drugs.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Neither am I. - You sure?

0:16:46 > 0:16:49We're just ordinary, decent criminals.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54If you won't take my word, why don't you ask Martin?

0:16:54 > 0:16:58- He's very fond of the ladies. - Exactly. So set it up for me.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Why you chasing the drugs? You should chase the pubs,

0:17:03 > 0:17:06- they do more damage. - Yeah, right.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Yeah? No, I tried that. It was a dead end.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12I'll call you back? Grand.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16So, how many guys you have working for stories at once?

0:17:16 > 0:17:20Now, a less generous person might say you were ungrateful

0:17:20 > 0:17:22for what I gave you already.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Stealing paintings, kidnapping, you above that now?

0:17:25 > 0:17:29I got you famous with those stories.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33Yeah. You feed me the superficial crap.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- I make you look good. - Great picture.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Come on, I need your help to get to Cahill.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Write me a reference.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43I'm late for an appointment.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48Word of advice. Stay away from Martin Cahill.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Sorry to disturb ya, are you Mrs Cahill?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Frances Cahill?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Right.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Are you Frances Cahill?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- I am. - Hi, I'm Veronica.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32- I'm a friend of John Traynor's. - I know who you are.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Is your husband home? I want to ask him a favour.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Martin Cahill doesn't do favours for journalists.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41So piss off.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45There's a rumour he's putting drugs on the street, you got any comment?

0:18:45 > 0:18:49I know he nailed a tout to the floor of a flat, was it drug-related?

0:18:49 > 0:18:54I want a comment. Off the record. I'll be out of your...

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Mr Cahill! Could you do me a favour?

0:18:58 > 0:19:02I need the names of those kids selling drugs for you.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06And I'll do you a favour. I won't write about what people are saying.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10You know, you're having kids with your wife's sisters?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12There's me number. Gimme a call!

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Cheers.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20SIRENS BLARE

0:19:24 > 0:19:26'What can I do for you, Veronica?'

0:19:26 > 0:19:29How could you lose a body?

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I mean, that's just downright careless.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36You find some, you lose some. It'll turn up. They always do.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39You gonna join the cause of those crying foul?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42"More Garda incompetence? Is this why we pay our taxes?"

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Some might say incompetent, but you could say you're understaffed.

0:19:46 > 0:19:51You can't have 24-hour surveillance on a murder site with 24 staff.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56People should know that. Someone should write that.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00And if someone did write that, what would that someone want in return?

0:20:00 > 0:20:05I talked to the couple you detained after the weekend in Amsterdam.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Held for 48 hours cos they bought nothing there but a box of condoms.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15How does it feel to wait for a mule to shite out a condom full of drugs?

0:20:16 > 0:20:20You and I both know the couriers are the lowest man in the organisation.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Some Mr Big is laughing at you and your stool sample.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Now you can't touch him. I want...

0:20:26 > 0:20:30- We both want to get Mr Untouchable. - What'll you do when you do?

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Your paper's so scared he'll sue if you name him,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36they employ more lawyers than journalists!

0:20:36 > 0:20:39Well, there's more than 300,000 people...

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I don't want to blow my own trumpet,

0:20:41 > 0:20:44but they know that Martin Cahill's The General,

0:20:44 > 0:20:48because what I write in the Sunday Independent.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50At least they know what he's up to.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Great. For your readers, but does it help me put him behind bars?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56We're on the same side, Chris.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I trained as an accountant, right?

0:20:59 > 0:21:01If I could have a look at these files,

0:21:01 > 0:21:04then I could go after those other wankers.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08Put some pressure on them. Come on.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Go on.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Look, I've got more packing to do. I'll be back in an hour or so.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25Looking forward to reading someone's column on Sunday.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- "For The Coach, every day is Lotto Day." - LAUGHTER

0:21:37 > 0:21:42"What others might earn in a decade, he can conjure up in an afternoon."

0:21:42 > 0:21:47"His Swiss scam was a stroke, a child of his remarkable ingenuity."

0:21:47 > 0:21:50"The fruits of a complex fraud..."

0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Coach, boss. - What?

0:21:54 > 0:21:58I never knew you were such a horse lover, John.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- What took you so long? - The traffic.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Nothing to do with that woman from the Sunday Indo?

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Did the boys say somethin'?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14That's not the question. What did you say to her?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Nothin' important.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20She fancies me, so I humour her.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23You know why I'm successful, Johnny?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25I lead a quiet life.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Nobody knows what I'm doing and that's good for business.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32When you talk to that bitch and she writes about you,

0:22:32 > 0:22:34you feel like a movie star.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38And don't think she doesn't know how to use that, because she does.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41You're not as smart as you think you are.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45That makes you a liability. Remember this.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48If that bitch ever mentions my name,

0:22:48 > 0:22:51you pay.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54GUNSHOT

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Hey, you like playing the gangster, do ya? Do ya?

0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Make you feel like a big man, does it? Does it?- John, please.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08- How does it feel now?- John! - You heap o' shite!

0:23:08 > 0:23:10- You heap o' shite! - Please!

0:23:10 > 0:23:15You bunch of eejits. Which fucking genius fired a gun around my horses?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19You don't insult me boys, Gerry.

0:23:19 > 0:23:24You leave that to me, unless you want some of the same yourself.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Word of advice. Keep your fucking mouth shut.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38- I called you here, cos we've got a debt to settle.- What debt?

0:23:38 > 0:23:42Your man Martin Cahill thinks over half a million quid is owed him.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46He loaned us that to start up the operation. He wants it back.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49There's no back, that money moves forward.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53He lent you it when you were out of prison. You had nothin'.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Now, he's down on his luck. He can't shift the paintings. Too hot.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Why don't you just pay him? - No, no. You don't get it.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04When a scumbag like him is down on his luck, kick him in the bollocks.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08I wouldn't try that with Martin Cahill.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Who's side are you on, Coach?

0:24:10 > 0:24:14I just think we should make payment.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18Don't you worry about it. We're gonna make payment.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29SHE SCREAMS

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Then he poked that one...

0:24:42 > 0:24:44GUNSHOT

0:24:54 > 0:24:56GUNSHOT

0:25:08 > 0:25:09Jesus!

0:25:22 > 0:25:25CHEERING

0:25:26 > 0:25:28LAUGHS

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Are you people fucking insane?

0:25:39 > 0:25:44- For a few hundred grand you murdered all of us?- I don't like your tone.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Maybe the guards don't know, but if the Cahill mob find out,

0:25:47 > 0:25:50they'll kill yous and everyone you work with.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57The IRA has claimed responsibility for the murder of Martin Cahill

0:25:57 > 0:25:59and we are now doing everything in our power

0:25:59 > 0:26:02to apprehend the gunmen involved.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04No progress has been made.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08This isn't the first execution. What about the Davey and Gormley cases?

0:26:08 > 0:26:12I cannot comment on any other investigation.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15No progress is ever made in cases involving the IRA.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19Cahill's family has stated that The General and I quote,

0:26:19 > 0:26:24"Was not killed by the IRA, but by someone who saw the money he made."

0:26:24 > 0:26:27In your opinion, could this be drug-related?

0:26:27 > 0:26:32- You can't believe everything you hear.- Neither can you, Des.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Look, Veronica,

0:26:42 > 0:26:46- every journalist sees a vast conspiracy in everything.- Get away.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50We haven't a fucking clue. We don't know who killed Cahill.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52And you don't care, right?

0:26:52 > 0:26:55If they kill each other, it's easier for you.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01Here. Let's sort out the petty criminals first.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Those who loved Martin Cahill

0:27:03 > 0:27:07feel a deep sense of loss and pain.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Violence can only lead to death...

0:27:13 > 0:27:15..because it's the way of hatred,

0:27:15 > 0:27:18fear and revenge.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom...

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Nothin' like a funeral to bring out the competition, is there?

0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Yeah. - Look at Gerry Hutch, all tearful.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32- Or should I say The Monk? - He's not bad looking for a monk.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36Thing about monks though, is they're celibate.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Supposedly.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43- See those two there?- Yeah. - Dealers, right?- Yeah.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Fatso Mitchell and Tommy Mullen.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Right.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Cahill wasn't running drugs. - No?

0:27:53 > 0:27:56I followed the money and it turns out

0:27:56 > 0:27:58your man was absolutely broke.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02- The family had to borrow 10,000 for this.- Really?

0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Didn't have the cash to run drugs. - Fuck's sakes.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09Will you look? The north-side rivals to pay their respects.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12- Out. - That's Brian Meehan there.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14- The blond one? - Yeah.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Nasty little fucker.

0:28:16 > 0:28:20The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

0:28:20 > 0:28:23and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Hail Mary full of grace,

0:28:25 > 0:28:29the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women

0:28:29 > 0:28:31and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35TELEPHONE RINGS

0:28:38 > 0:28:42- Yeah? - The IRA didn't act alone.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46Tell me something I don't know. Where are ya?

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Gerry Hutch ordered the hit on Cahill.

0:28:49 > 0:28:54Hutch? Jesus, are you sure?

0:28:54 > 0:28:56I was there.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10She bought it.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Boo-hoo(!)

0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Holy Mary, mother of God. - Boo-hoo.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee...

0:29:21 > 0:29:24RAISED VOICES

0:29:24 > 0:29:27OK. Let's bring them in. Bring them in.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Leave it out lads, please.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Strip 'em and search 'em.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40I'll get you,

0:29:40 > 0:29:42your wife, your kids.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Think you're the big fella now?

0:29:44 > 0:29:49- You'll not be so big the next time you meet me.- Yeah? I'm trembling.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53We can do this the hard or the easy way, your choice.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Please, let's do it the hard way, huh?

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Do you like men with big cocks, do you? Want that, do you?

0:29:59 > 0:30:03Is she a lesbian? Fancy me arse, do ya? Pervert!

0:30:03 > 0:30:08All right, get your designer gear back on and get the fuck out of my sight.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11There's over £600 there. You can keep that.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Yous fuckers need it more than I do.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19Bunch of fuckin' eejits, working and paying taxes. Do you know what?

0:30:19 > 0:30:23I make more in a week than yous fuckers earn in a month.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Here. Much more than you earn in a year.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29Thanks. See you, guys. All the best.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- You can tell the time, can't ya? - See you soon.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42I always like to go shopping after a funeral.

0:30:45 > 0:30:49- What are you doin' here? - It's lookin' bad for you.

0:30:49 > 0:30:53- People say you ordered the hit on Cahill.- They can say what they like.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55I was out of the country.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Is that your response, Mr Hutch?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Or should I call you The Monk?

0:31:00 > 0:31:04You're invading my privacy and the privacy of my family.

0:31:04 > 0:31:09If you don't get off my property I'll sue you and your fuckin' paper.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11Now fuck off.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Can I quote you on that?

0:31:21 > 0:31:23I can't talk to anyone right now.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27It's Tony Gregory. He's an MP for Dublin South.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30I know. I still can't talk. Tell him I'll call him later.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34- You can tell him yourself. - Hiya, Tony.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38- What is this shite? - It's Ireland's finest newspaper.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42"Dublin city is currently like a tinderbox waiting to explode"?!

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Self-fulfilling prophecy. - It's a quote.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49It's a source quote. It's not me editorialising. Understand?

0:31:49 > 0:31:51No gang was involved in the murder.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54The Garda filed photos of these gangs. No-one identified them.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57The only reason there's no blood bath

0:31:57 > 0:31:59is the Cahills didn't buy your story.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03As far as I'm concerned, this woman is reckless and inflammatory.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05She treats rumour as fact.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08And you are irresponsible for publishing it.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12I expect to read my response over breakfast next Sunday.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18- I did nothin' wrong.- I know that. - Did you corroborate your facts?

0:32:18 > 0:32:21I was told by a source. He's never been wrong before.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25I didn't name Hutch. I didn't even call him The Monk.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Hutch said he was out of the country.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30- He said he'd sue us, but didn't deny it.- We know that.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34- And the lawyers approved it, Angus. - We don't doubt you,

0:32:34 > 0:32:39but Gregory doubts you. He's an MP for the area. He wants his say.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41- I don't give a shite. - What about the source?

0:32:41 > 0:32:45- Will he go on record? - Of course he won't, he's a criminal.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- This is like being a cop. - It's worse.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52You can't get a search warrant or tap but you must prove everything.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56Yes, and you want to check how reliable that source is.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Is Traynor about?

0:33:11 > 0:33:13What time? Whatever. Yeah.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16OK. Uh-huh.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24- Jesus! - Sorry, John. Just a quick question.

0:33:24 > 0:33:28You're not aiming to start a gang war between the Cahills and Hutch?

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Jesus. She's famous. - Shut up, you.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35I have a feeling you've been feeding me a line of shite about The Monk.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39- What?- Get the south-side and north-side gangs to kill each other,

0:33:39 > 0:33:43- so someone else can take over? - You're talking out of your arse.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48- Get out of here, unless you want to join in.- You said you were there.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51- I done you a lot of favours. - I'm doing the favours.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55No, I've done you the favours. Don't forget that.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59I tell you what I know. I don't tell you what to do with it.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02You come in here calling me a fucking liar?

0:34:02 > 0:34:05That's a bit of an overreaction there, John.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17- Why don't you come and have a pint? - Too many journalists for me.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22You can't join the club if you ignore the members.

0:34:22 > 0:34:27I know what they say. No experience, I'm exaggerating the drug problem.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31- My sources are unreliable, can't spell.- Pretty accurate.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35- Get away and shite. I know I'm no great writer.- I think you're a poet.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Go on. Go on, Cantona.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46That's poetry.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48What's the score?

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Nothin' nothin.' Cantona's a fuckin' vacuum cleaner today, man.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53It's unreal.

0:34:55 > 0:35:00- He's what you call a striker. Number seven. Watch him.- A striker?

0:35:00 > 0:35:03- What did you say his name was? - Eric Cantona.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07Born 26 May 1966, led Man United to six cups,

0:35:07 > 0:35:11- winning Footballer Of the Year in 89, is that him?- Fuck me pink, it is.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Yeah. Fair play to you.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16- I met him, you know? - You met him? What did he say to ya?

0:35:16 > 0:35:21- Doesn't matter, does it? He's a genius.- He is a genius. He's deadly.

0:35:23 > 0:35:28Would you look at that? I bet you any money The Monk done that.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33Do you fancy a pint? There's a great pub down there. Very quiet.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36That's almost three million quid.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Where would you hide all that?

0:35:40 > 0:35:45How could you find any fun in hiding that? You'd be spending it like mad,

0:35:45 > 0:35:49- wouldn't ya? - Yeah. That's exactly right.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Good night. Thanks. - So, no pint, no?

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Not a chance?

0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Well done on the Brinks job. - What are you doing following me?

0:36:07 > 0:36:10I'm gonna write about it, so you may as well talk.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12I don't give a bollocks.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16- What do you do with the money? - None of your business. There you go.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18You know, I've forgotten my manners.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22You've been to my home. Maybe it's about fucking time I visit yours.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26- Right ahead, sir. - Thanks. I'll see you again.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31- 'Night, Ma.' - 'Night, love.'

0:36:31 > 0:36:34- What are you reading, Ma? - Some of me notes.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- On the bad guys? - No.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40There's just one bad guy I'm after who's up way past his bedtime.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Now, let's go.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45You're getting too big for your ma.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48HE LAUGHS I'll have to read you a story.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50GUNSHOT

0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Stay there.- All right.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19You gonna give someone else a go?

0:37:19 > 0:37:21Me! Me! Me! Me!

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Oh, that's great.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Ronnie? - Hmm?- We're all nervous.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Ma's nervous, I'm nervous.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41Even Graham. He just won't say anything.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43There's no use talking to you.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47Those people issue death threats if their laundry's folded wrong.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Ma? Where did you put the candles?

0:37:49 > 0:37:52They're on top of the bread box.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Oh, right.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58It's not the first. Remember the religious fanatics

0:37:58 > 0:38:01after the Bishop Casey story? There's always someone.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05- You get used to them. - No, you get used to cold water,

0:38:05 > 0:38:07not bullets. This is madness.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10You'd do the same. If you saw those kids on the streets.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14- Not if people were shooting at me. - Ma, look!

0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Cathal, that's great! Who gave you that?- You and Dad.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Yeah.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27I'm listening. Whoever did it made sure I was not in the room.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Could you do this? You're better at it.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34- There's nothing to worry about. - Nothing?

0:38:34 > 0:38:38I'm the only Guerin in the phone book. Who will they come after?

0:38:38 > 0:38:41Don't flatter yourself, little brother.

0:38:42 > 0:38:46Are you gonna dance or go fast? Give someone else a go.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16MUSIC MUFFLED THROUGH HEADPHONES

0:39:25 > 0:39:28You coming to bed?

0:39:28 > 0:39:31- What?- I know you can hear me, are you coming to bed?

0:39:31 > 0:39:35- I'll be along in a minute. - Fine.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38Suit yourself.

0:39:40 > 0:39:44- SWITCHES MUSIC TO SPEAKERS - Turn it down.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48- Turn it down. - Come on.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51I love it. I love my work.

0:39:51 > 0:39:56- I'm doing something that could make a difference.- What can I do with you?

0:39:57 > 0:40:00- Come on. - No.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02MUSIC: "Everlasting Love" by U2

0:40:11 > 0:40:13OK.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16# We'll have our own... everlasting love

0:40:16 > 0:40:20# Love will last forever

0:40:20 > 0:40:23# It's going to last forever... #

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Good boy. Up you come.

0:40:26 > 0:40:28# You will realise

0:40:28 > 0:40:29# Here I stand with my

0:40:29 > 0:40:31# Everlasting love... #

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Did we wake you up?

0:40:36 > 0:40:38# Everlasting love! #

0:40:38 > 0:40:42What can I say? I don't think Gerry Hutch is into drugs.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46The Brinks heist, yeah, probably,

0:40:46 > 0:40:50- but drugs is not his scene. - I've been tracking his movements.

0:40:50 > 0:40:54I just need to source the drugs, the connection's easy. I need your help.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57And I need you to stop coming to my office.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59He's got the money.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03We're talking about a fella with no visible source of income,

0:55:03 > 0:55:06You must have missed some of my articles.

0:55:06 > 0:55:09On June 11th - I want to clarify this -

0:55:09 > 0:55:12I suggested extending detention periods for drug offenders.

0:55:12 > 0:55:16On July 16th I wrote about tax officialdom, and this is ridiculous,

0:55:16 > 0:55:19saying they're paid only to record declared income,

0:55:19 > 0:55:23not to worry whether it comes from drugs. Then on July 23rd,

0:55:23 > 0:55:26I wrote how the Gardai can seize drug proceeds

0:55:26 > 0:55:29but can't hold them. How frustrating is that?

0:55:29 > 0:55:33I don't need to be told the fight against drugs has been crippled

1:06:29 > 1:06:34Soon as I heard, I went to see him. I told him he'd got it all wrong.

1:06:35 > 1:06:37He's a small man with a chip.

1:06:37 > 1:06:41You know? He's got a temper. He just lost his head.

1:06:41 > 1:06:45Anyway, he wants you to know that he's sorry for what he done

1:06:45 > 1:06:49and for what he said about your kid and the family.

1:06:49 > 1:06:51He'd never do those things.

1:07:04 > 1:07:08- and let the IRA take credit.- I don't know what you're talking about.

1:07:08 > 1:07:10I'm here because he wants this to end

1:07:50 > 1:07:53If convicted, all he'll get is six months.

1:07:53 > 1:07:57Well, if he's not worried, why is he prepared to pay so much?

1:10:21 > 1:10:23You were out in the street playing football

1:10:23 > 1:10:27and the ball went over the wall to old man Clancy, remember him?

1:10:27 > 1:10:31He was a very dangerous man and very violent. The boys did nothing.

1:10:31 > 1:10:34But you, bold as brass,

1:10:34 > 1:10:37marched up those steps and knocked on his door.

1:10:37 > 1:10:41- He scared the bejesus out of me. - You didn't show it.

1:10:41 > 1:10:45That's your thing, isn't it? You don't show your fear.

1:10:46 > 1:10:51You know, sometimes it's wiser to let the crazy old man keep the ball.

1:10:52 > 1:10:56It is. And sometimes it's braver to just walk away.

1:10:57 > 1:11:02(Yeah.) Well, I got the ball back, didn't I?
