We're investigating the death of Roisin Hurley and we are treating
this as a murder investigation.
Why did you kill her?
Oh, that would make things all nice and neat for you, wouldn't it!
Charlie looked me in the eye right before he pulled that trigger
and said he didn't kill Roisin.
Tell her I'm sorry.
GUNSHOT
Whatever else your father did, he was never guilty of Chloe Whelan.
Someone came in, I heard his voice.
Thanks sunshine.
Charlie Reid wasn't driving the car that night Chloe Whelan died.
It was Bill Maguire.
He's behind everything.
Bill...
Fia, what brings you over here?
Can we do this inside, with clothes on?
It's Detective Lucey, if you don't mind.
What can I do for you detective?
I just wanted to ask you a few questions.
What about?
The events of 20 years ago.
What has your personal tragedy got to do with me?
I actually meant Chloe Whelan's death.
But now that you mention it, it was pretty close in time to what happened
to my family, wasn't it?
I remember.
It must be why people said what they said.
About my father and Chloe?
But they're not saying that now, are they?
I mean my father wasn't one to mess around with young girls.
He wasn't a sick fuck like that.
She was just 16, 17, and that's practically paedophilia.
17. Only just.
Funny how you remember that just off the bat!
Were you close?
If you're trying to imply I somehow knew about her relationship with .
Charlie Reid, I certainly didn't.
She didn't have a relationship with Charlie Reid.
Someone else was driving the car that night.
And you know that how exactly?
Evidence found, in the car.
Oh well if it's evidence, there'll be no time at all until
you've solved the mystery.
There was also a witness.
Who?
My father.
Jack, well I'm no expert in Garda matters, but what can a dead witness tell you?
The dead can be very informative, Bill.
But of course you wouldn't know that, not being versed in Garda matters.
I'd love to hear more, but just the bullet points, I'm starting to run a bit late.
I know.
I know what you did, Bill.
Did she reach for you as the car filled up with water?
Do you still hear her scream?
Really Fia? Yeah.
I remember you as a child.
A real daddy's girl.
Always out on that boat.
I'd see ye from the shore.
Envied Jack, if I'm honest, envied that bond between father and child.
Of course he envied what I had.
There was no secret he didn't like my plans for the distillery, lodged
objections, would have said it was environmental concerns,
but it was just plain old jealousy.
I single-handedly dragged his town out of the muck and into the future.
I made it into a place that could hold its head up high.
Whereas Jack, Jack couldn't stop looking down into the depths,
into the darkness.
Everyone knew he wasn't well.
People were shocked, but not surprised when he did what he did.
Even if he was alive to say what he wanted against me, nobody would believe him.
So whatever you think you know, Fia, your theory has less than nothing
going for it.
I'm sorry.
Oh no, you've been more helpful than you realise, Bill.
Maybe next time make an appointment.
Next time I won't need one.
The only thing that links Bill to Chloe's death and therefore
potentially to the events of the barn, is Niamh's memory.
And whatever way you look at it, that's not proof, not after 20 years.
I know you know it's all circumstantial.
I know you're just trying to prove to yourself that you're right...
I am right.
I proved it to myself this morning when I looked him in the eye.
You did what now?
I went to Bill's.
Why?
I have a memory.
It would have been the night of Chloe's death.
Dad was in the barn, changing out of his wet clothes.
He had them draped over this clothesline.
Charlie must have been told to get rid of the clothes.
Charlie!?
Well it was Charlie who Bill went to for help after he crashed into the lake.
It stands to reason...
It doesn't stand to any reason, Charlie saying his car was stolen to
help Bill is one thing, committing out and out murder is another.
Why would Charlie Reid do such a thing for Bill Maguire?
I don't know...
Yet.
How are you feeling?
Fine.
Just trying to keep my head straight.
Trying to keep things out of it.
So you're going tonight?
Yeah.
Do you not think maybe you should...
It's not as simple as that, okay. Yeah, but...
KNOCK ON DOOR
KNOCKING ON DOOR
KNOCKING
What the fuck is so important it couldn't wait?!
Ah Niamh, you're here, great.
We could really do with some space.
Charlie had a history of cheque fraud, kicked out of three separate
jobs for the same scam. Cheques?
When was this? Late 90s.
So?
So explain to me how a degenerate loser like him ended up with a
share in a prosperous business.
I checked his credit history this morning, it's a complete joke.
Carrie told me that Charlie and Roisin had done some sort of deal
back in the day.
A deal that involved killing your family.
Can you prove it?
I need a little peek at someone's accounts first.
(Alarm Beeps) System Arming.
CAR STARTS
ALARM BEEPING
System unset.
Deirdre, Bill, hi.
Niamh, and Cian!
So lovely to see you both out.
We'll leave you both to it.
No, sit down please.
Will you have another Bill?
Yeah, go on, better drain the spuds so.
Bill!
I don't know what I'm going to do with that man.
PHONE BEEPS
PHONE BUZZES
Everything okay?
Yeah, just babysitter.
Hello?
Charlie bought the restaurant two days after your family were killed.
The same amount was moved from an account the day before.
Bill paid Charlie the money to buy the restaurant.
Yeah, and look at this.
Charlie wasn't the only one to get a shot at a future he didn't deserve.
Roisin Hurley, same setup.
Jesus!
Charlie must have told Roisin what he did.
So, what, she blackmailed Bill into giving her a share of the hotel?
Look at the date.
She was paid first.
She didn't just hear about what he did, she was in on it.
When Roisin told Charlie, it's all coming out, she wasn't talking about
the girls, was she?
But none of this is gonna stand up in court, everything's inadmissible.
Even without all the accounting chicanery, I'd still have to explain
where we got all this information from.
Fia, Bill knows how to cover his tracks, that man plans ahead.
What if there was one time he just couldn't?
One time he just had to act fast.
I don't believe Charlie killed Roisin.
Ultimately he was just a coward.
A sick, slimy bastard who preyed on young girls.
I mean Roisin's wounds...
It was something else.
It was real anger.
I mean that was rage.
Bill?
PHONE BUZZES
Webster.
Super wants to see you now.
You had no authority to go to his house like that.
Bill Maguire is guilty, sir.
There is reams of evidence. There is circumstantial nothing!
It would be negligent to ignore it.
Is this is how you were in Dublin?
Deciding for yourself what's the law and what's not.
You accused the man of murder, multiple murders.
He didn't personally carry those out.
He's too clever for that.
That's how he's been able to get away with it all these years.
Do you even hear yourself?
You have nothing that says he had a part in Chloe Whelan's death,
less than nothing that he had anything to do with what
happened to your family and yet you see all this as evidence that he's
hiding something.
It never occurred to you that the reason there's no evidence is
because he's not guilty!
He's been able to cover his tracks in the past, but in Roisin Hurley's case...
Roisin Hurley was killed by Charlie Reid, the case is closed!
It isn't sir.
I've requested that we hold it.
You what?! At least until we examine...
I was with him!
When?
The night of the Friends of Blackwater thing, the night Roisin Hurley died.
He invited me to his house and we opened a bottle of the 20 years reserve.
It was light by the time I left.
Bill Maguire didn't go anywhere that night.
And as far as I'm concerned, you can get out of this office, get into
that squad car and go out and do some proper police work.
Now get out!
I've never seen him like that before.
I've seen it before.
Where?
Interrogation rooms.
When you're closing in on them they go spare.
He was scared, he doesn't want me anywhere near Bill, because to get
near Bill is to get near him.
Ah, come on!
I did say you mightn't like the truth.
The truth...
Don't take this out on me, I'm on the shitlist too because of you and
I've a family to support, remember that.
Christ!
Shanahan's involved is he?
Do you know how ludicrous that sounds?
It's not ludicrous.
There had to have been Garda collusion.
I need to get my hands on the coroner's report at the time.
You don't need to do that.
When I recused myself from the investigation, it was Shanahan took over.
See you. Yeah.
I'll be back at the station.
Why didn't you tell me, Donal?
I didn't think he did much more than sign the paperwork.
He's not a good guard.
Lazy, that's all.
If I'd told you it was him, what would you have done?
I would have confronted him.
Like you confronted Bill, how did that go?
You moved too soon Fia.
Bill knows he's in your sights.
If there were any loose ends you can be damn sure he's tied them up now.
Are you heading back to the station this evening?
Shanahan's given me the day off.
Well Sandra's out at one of her classes, do you fancy having a spot
of dinner with me?
That'd be nice.
Wait now till I see, Sandra might have left something in the freezer.
Mam says he's not sleeping, night terrors, she thinks it's connected
to something you're working on. Is it?
You know I knew he recused himself for a reason.
Stupid of me to think that reason might have changed.
I'm sorry.
I think Bill ordered my family's murder.
I think it was him in the car with Chloe.
Jesus, Fia!
That's what you have dad helping you with.
He'd do anything for you, you do know that don't you?
Yeah.
Niamh.
What if Bill finds out what we did?
What I did.
He won't.
Fia knows what she's doing.
I'm finding it hard, Cian, being around him, knowing what I know now.
But what could I do?
You could leave.
So what time did you leave last night?
I left at 5.30.
And when you left, did you set the alarm?
Yes, I definitely locked the door and then I set the alarm.
Bill, hi, we need these signed off ASAP.
You'll need your coat.
Come with me.
(Voicemail) Hi, this is Garda Cian Furlong, please leave a message.
Hi Cian, I'm on my way to the coroners, see if they have any of the
old records on file.
If you want access to my father's official records, you're going to
need to go through the proper channels.
Yeah, look, kind of hoping you'd be able to do that for me, you
know, your name carries more weight.
You mean my name isn't your name?
What are you so worried about anyway, I'm sure you've a legitimate
reason to want to see them?
Tell that to Shanahan, sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
No, my father was never Shanahan's biggest fan.
My dad was a professor at the College of Surgeons and he mentored
a student there at the time.
Kind of sheltered bloke, said grace before meals when he came around.
Anyway, they kept in touch.
And years later when that man's daughter went missing and the GardaÃ­
weren't doing much, dad tried to help.
He spoke to the investigating officer at the time and tried to get
him to keep the search going, but he shut him down.
Hang on, you're talking about James Whelan, Dr. Whelan.
Shanahan was the investigating officer in charge of Chloe Whelan's
disappearance, and he shut it down?
Jesus Christ!
I can't help you access the files, but dad had a habit of making notes.
If you can drop by my place later, you can have a look.
See what's in storage.
Yeah, I will.
Thank you.
Where's your mam? I don't know.
What happened today?
I couldn't reach you.
Bill took me out to lunch to talk, he took me to lunch at Marlow.
He offered me a codirector position, Cian, that's not a raise, that's
three times my salary, better benefits, scope to go much higher.
Niamh, that's just what he does.
He keeps his enemies close, he keeps them in his debt, so they depend on...
Yeah, but don't you know what a job like that could mean for us, Cian,
for the boys?
What did you say?
That I'd have to think about it.
He laughed at that, he said it was important you're informed, make you
feel like you're a part of the decision.
Resign.
Resign, what about everything, we need two salaries?
I'll do all the overtime I can, I'll get another job, whatever,
we'll manage like we always do. That's easier said than done, Cian.
Look, you're trustworthy, you're talented, you're honest,
you'll find something else, anything else.
No, we don't know that though. Listen, you don't need him!
But I need you.
Okay.
Is there any correspondence from that time?
Emails, letters?
Anything the investigating officer would have put in writing?
Any official statement for his reasoning for calling off the search.
You think he was remiss in his duties?
I can't say that.
But you think he should have known, that if he hadn't shut down the
case, he would have caught Charlie Reid earlier.
I can say that either...
It wasn't Shanahan's fault he didn't suspect Charlie Reid.
Nobody would ever have thought Chloe was seeing him.
She was a good girl.
And she'd still be with us if it wasn't for the damned vanity of others.
Let me see you out.
Dr. Whelan... what did she mean "others"?
She was talking about me.
At the time, your mother, she was coming to church with her sister.
They were praying for Emma.
That the cancer would go, and God forgive me, I saw an opportunity in
their desperation.
You hoped Chloe would encourage our family into your church group.
I wanted to bring you all into the light, but instead I allowed demons
to gain access to Chloe.
She used the freedom I gave her to be with the likes of Charlie Reid
or perhaps another just like him.
I heard on the grapevine you visited the Maguire house.
You questioned Bill didn't you?
Dr. Whelan, I have no proof, no evidence at all.
Tread carefully Fia, this town won't hear a bad word said against Bill Maguire.
There's not a soul in the parish doesn't owe him a favour for a good
deed of some sort.
I mean you yourself must know that.
What did Bill Maguire ever do for me?
Not you exactly but...
You don't know?
KNOCK ON DOOR
I'm so sorry to come here so late.
Not at all, come on in, it's freezing.
All of dad's stuff is down here in the basement.
He was coroner for 40 years, so there's loads of boxes.
I'll leave you to it.
Yeah.
Let me know if you need anything.
Right, thanks.
This might have to wait for another day.
I just have an early start in the morning...
These look like originals.
Duplicates maybe, I mean he would have photocopied stuff if he wanted
to revisit it later.
Have you found what you wanted?
You never recused yourself in the case.
I did.
Only after you signed off on the coroner's report, why?
You knew that when Shanahan took over that would never see the light of day again.
Why did you want to bury it Donal?
Fia, I had no choice.
Because Bill paid for Emma's cancer treatment!
Yes.
But how, how could you let everyone think my father murdered his wife and son?
How could you let me think that?
Emma's treatment had only just started.
For the first time I allowed myself to believe that we were going to get
to keep her.
If Bill went to jail, it would have stopped.
She'd have died Fia and God knows it wouldn't have been an easy death.
Can you imagine what that would have been like for my daughter?
My mother, my brother, my dad, your best friend!
What about them?
Fia, they were dead when I got there.
Nothing I could have done would have changed that.
I had one choice that night, to let Emma live or to let Emma die.
Bill?
Bill called me, saying there'd been an accident.
Charlie and Roisin had been sent to persuade Jack.
To forget he pulled Bill Maguire from the lake, to never mention
anything about that night to anyone.
I think they just meant to rough him up, to make sure he kept quiet.
But something went wrong.
Dad?
Elizabeth and Aidan came back to the house.
GUNSHOT
Aidan?
(Screaming)
GUNSHOT
They were gone when I got there.
I did what had to be done.
I've been carrying this, the weight of it for too long.
Fia, I'm not asking you to keep this secret, I wouldn't do that to you.
I just need you to know why I did what I did.
Jack would have done the same.
He would have done the same...
To save you.
You didn't come home last night.
I'm late for work, I need to see Cian.
Yourself and Donal, you're at odds with each other.
Did he talk to you?
He said nothing.
Don't be too hard on him Fia, you weren't there.
What he saw...
It haunts him, his failure.
His failure?!
To see the signs.
That Jack... was so unwell.
I need to go.
Please come tonight?
To Emma's party.
You're cousins, but...
I know she thinks of you as a sister.
Like your mam was to me.
I need to go.
Any luck with Marie?
You were gonna ask her if she could access her dad's records for you.
Oh right, yeah, she didn't.
Shit, so nothing?
Well I got his notes...
Anything in there? No.
I mean the records aren't gonna show us anything anyway.
But what if Shanahan signed off... He didn't!
And even if he did, it's not gonna bring us any closer to Bill and
that's the only person who we should be on.
We tried to get closer, we couldn't. Yeah, I know.
So what, we just give up?
Great.
Well, I don't know what we're doing here.
Nothing's gonna change if we just sit on this.
We got to see it through.
We're in this now, Fia.
Here he is, cheer up it's not a funeral.
It's a surprise birthday party.
Fia, I've been calling you all day!
Sorry.
We're gonna go, are you ready? No.
Thank God you said that!
Look, I need to get showered up, why don't you go ahead, I'll be right behind you.
Okay, see you there. Come on.
I'm going to show my face in the pub, but I'm leaving for Dublin tonight.
I do love you, you know.
Well she didn't sink anyhow.
What do you mean?
The Lady Elizabeth...
I called into Jack's old boathouse and I saw that you'd taken her out.
After all this time, you're taking your life in your hands going out
without a proper checkup.
But I didn't Fergus.
Ah sure, who else would have taken her out?
Excuse me everybody, can I have your attention please?
Thank you Victoria for the gorgeous cake.
(Singing Happy Birthday)
I thought you were in Dublin.
I've called forensics to dad's old boat.
They'll be checking your car too.
We both know what they're gonna find there, Donal, don't we?
She killed your family...
Don't you dare say you did this for me!
You murdered her to protect yourself...
So that no one would find out you covered up my family's slaughter.
Fia, please.
Who the fuck are you?!
Okay, okay, Roisin came here.
She told me what Charlie had done to her daughter.
He's lying there on top of her like some kind of filthy animal.
I don't care what happens to me, I have spent my entire life running
from what I did that night.
And I stood by while all those girls were hurt.
I'm gonna tell the guards everything, I want everyone to know
who Bill and Charlie truly are.
After I talk, he won't have anything over me.
No Roisin, you can't do that!
You're a victim Donal, I know how Bill dragged you into this, but if
we do this together, people will understand.
People will understand, Donal.
Will you help me finish this?
Thank you.
I knew you wouldn't let me down.
LOUD THUD
There was only one boat people had forgotten about.
One boat people didn't even want to think about.
LOUD SPLASH
You murdered her just to cover up your dirty secret.
I HAD NO CHOICE.
Dad?
Emma go back to bed, this isn't...
What is she saying you covered up?
What did you do? TELL THEM!
What did you do?
WHY DON'T YOU TELL THEM, DONAL!?
WRETCHING
Emma, I'm so sorry.
I only did it to save you.
Roisin was going to tell them everything.
(Loud crying)
Fia, Fia!?
I'm sorry.
Stop will ya, I didn't know.
I never thought to ask how they paid for the treatment.
Even if I did I could never have known.
You were just a kid.
So were you.
But it was taken away from you.
Your life, your family.
Please Fia, don't take away mine?
You know what it's like to lose the people you love, you know.
Emma...
What he did was wrong, but he did it to save me.
Killing Roisin wasn't about you!
It was about him.
He killed the woman who murdered your family.
And you want to destroy him?!
Us for that?
Fia, you should be thanking him.
Roisin Hurley was a fucking monster!
He's the fucking monster!
He killed Roisin because she wanted to come clean.
He's let me live in agony for the past 20 years!
If that's how you feel, then go, just, just go away.
No...
It's just going to be buried again.
You can Fia.
We love you, Fia.
We are your family.
Family?!
Oh Fia!
Fia, please.
Donal O'Reilly, I'm arresting you for the murder of Roisin Hurley.
No, Fia, I raised you, so did he, you cannot ignore that.
You do this, you will be on your own again.
I've always been on my own.
SIRENS
Any word from Maguire?
He'll be brought in, but without Donal's co-operation, it will be
your word against his. Yeah.
The biggest, most beloved employer in the region.
I heard.
Ah, time has a habit of bringing things to the surface.
Yeah!
I'll be waiting, watching.
So will I.
