friggers in this world,

you're lucky you did not have

to deal with any of them.

So she took you and headed off

to the glorious countryside.

In another life you could have

been an oul townie, just like me.

Ah! For Jesus'

sake. Here we are.

Might be a nice place for

a wee bit of holidaying.

So?

Have you the Google

on that thing?

'The Google?'

just type in the name 'Joe

Pierce' and less of the buck.

There's a few recent news

articles that mention Joe Pierce.

Show me that.

Give me the gist.

Former prominent Ira commander Leo McMahon

died in palliative care this week

after a long battle with cancer.

McMahon was suspected of carrying

out a string of political murder

with long time collaborator Joe

Pierce in the seventies...

What has this got to

do with anything?

I dunno. Yet.

Well if you don't f***ing know,

can we go and get my sister?

I told you, lad. We get Pierce first.

Then we go get your sister.

Right. What if getting Kaja

could get you to Pierce?

Remember how I said I

tracked her down before?

She told me about Pierce. She knew

about her business, where she lives.

They have mad orgies there.

And how does your sister

know all of this.

They would make her take part.

She knows where Frankie Pierce

lives, Donal.

I know the number. Now I

know the name they've given her.

You just have to

call and arrange to meet.

Away and shite.

They know me and they know my voice. So

you have to call and ask for Alisha.

And say what?

Just pretend you're lonely and you

need some company. Come on. Come on!

Paper lantern Chinese,

how can I help?

Hello? Uh, is Alisha about?

Sorry no one by that

name works here.

Oh. Right.

Anything else I can

help you will

no I just wanted to

speak to Alisha.

I'm afraid you've got

the wrong number.

They hung up. It's a Chinese take away.

Not a whore in the place.

Sorry. No need for

that language.

It's a front. Just try again.

Paper lantern Chinese.

Aye hello, I meant to say

to you earlier,

Gavigan gave me this number and

told me to ask for Alisha.

Continental apartments.

Six o'clock.

We're grand. Six o'clock.

We'll need to lie

low for a while.

And we also need to get you

something else to wear.

Hang on I'll go and see

if Eamon has a suit.

I don't understand?

Did you never hear of

hiding in plain sight?

Tell me you have positive news.

We've found the pole's sister.

You have her?

Jerome's on his way. I'm

coming to lift you.

Put the foot down.

Mum?

Why are you not doing

your homework?

What are you doing?

I'm just reading some

stories about your grandad.

Why?

Because it's important to remember people.

And he would have loved to have met you.

And he would have been really annoyed

that you haven't finished your homework.

So go on.

Relax. You look fine.

I look like a tube.

Almost time.

Gimme your number. In case.

I need you to come in.

Hold on.

Oh, seven, double eight, six...

Alright mate.

Hello.

How you doing?

Alright.

Another fifty, boss.

In you go.

Behave yourself.

Hello. Would you like a drink?

How you doing, Kaja?

Your brother tracked you down.

I told you I'll be good now. I'll behave.

Just, please don't hurt him.

No. Bartosz is with me.

Come on we need to leave.

Look he's been trying to get at

you now for a lock of weeks.

There you are.

Kaja?

Bartosz?

What about him?

Go you and get ready,

I'll worry about him.

What's your name?

Donal.

How do you know my brother?

He tried to kill me.

What?

It's all sorted now though.

Albert!! Help me!!

Where does Frankie Pierce live?

Who?

Y'know... your woman who

runs them... orgies.

What the f*** are

you talking about?

Your brother's some boy.

Come on boy, tell

me about Pierce.

F*** off.

What are you doing? Come on.

I don't know anything

about Pierce.

Well what about Ballantine?

You're a lying shite.

F***!

Ok, alright, f***!

Ok, alright alright

alright alright.

Pass me the pen.

Well holy f***.

Lovely.

Help!

Jerome's dead.

Sure he is. It's for

the best. Probably.

What did you tell the farmer?

Nothing about you.

My head feels like it's

bleeding from the inside.

Jeez, that's not good.

Here let me help you with that.

Frankie... we already have

one dead body to deal with.

It's ok Trevor. What was it

you said? 'We'll fix this.'

yeah.

C*nt! C*nt! C*nt! C*nt! C*nt!

She knows nothing about Pierce.

Orgies my hole.

I had to tell you something.

And you almost got her killed.

I've an address for that hole

Ballantine works out of.

You're barely able to stand up.

You don't have to go.

I want to.

Whoah whoah whoah, whoah. We just

freed you from these people.

Yeah. Both of you did.

Jesus, you are both

as bad as each other.

Put that into your sat-nav.

Were you and your mother close?

Close enough, aye.

Why do you think they do this

Frankie thought she had something to do

with her father's death. But she's wrong.

Do you have anyone

else back home?

No. But I'm dead on.

What about you?

We have a big family but I

didn't appreciate them.

I wanted to escape, so I did.

I got to London. I was excited,

nervous, being on my own.

And one day it just happened.

They took me in the

middle of the street.

In broad daylight.

And brought me here.

After a while I just

stopped fighting.

That's Tara...

What does Tara mean?

Bad.

Thanks for helping me back there.

I meant to say to you earlier...

It's ok. It didn't feel real, the way his

body slumped over. I keep seeing it.

Aye.

That's the boy there.

A 'Tara' man.

You can say that alright.

Frankie.

You sure?

I'm sure alright.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

whoa, whoa! Here?

It's a good enough spot.

Look at this sh*t. Look.

Let me see.

Fair enough. We'll come back

when the child's asleep.

Hang on, who's that?

Did they follow us?

They must have got to Eamon.

There will probably

still be someone there.

I hope so.

Donal I have just got Kaja back.

You do what you want Bartosz but

child or no child,

Frankie's not going to get away

with killing an innocent woman.

What if she wasn't

innocent Donal?

What did you say?

I think you should

stop and go home.

I asked you a question.

What. Did. You. Say?

You don't know the full story.

No-one seems to know the full story.

That's the problem with this country.

Maybe Frankie had a reason.

Get the f*** off me!

Stop it! Both of you!

You're gonna get us all f***ing killed!

I'm not gonna be part of it anymore.

You feel the same way, Cutty?

I didn't know she had a child.

You are some Craic.

Both of youse can get

out right here and now.

We're on the side of the road!

I was gonna shoot you in my shed when we

first met, so you're not doing to bad.

F*** you, Donal.

You didn't kill me because

I didn't deserve it.

That'll get you both a flight.

And you'll need that too.

What you making there?

Ice-cream!

What flavour?

Vanilla.

You find him?

At a caravan park.

Sensational.

But... they saw me. I'm still looking.

Sorry Frankie. I'll get them.
