Thanks mister.

Hey, you give me no choice. You're loco.

Where are we going?

I am taking this dredger to the basin.

Is that near Gardiner Street?

I don't know. Maybe.

I only live here a few months.

So you're coming with me, huh?

Yeah.

I thought you said no passengers.

Put this on, you'll be my assistant.

Do...

- ...a monkey!.

- A monkey?

A monkey.

Okay, the monkey says...

- So your name is Dylan, eh?

- Yeah.

- That's the best name.

- How is it the best name?

- It's like Bob.

- Bob who?

Hey, come on. Bob Dylan?

- Who the f*** is that?

- What?!

He's a singer.

He is not a singer.

He's more like a musical god.

- So?

- So, it's a big thing to be called like Bob Dylan.

So?

Hear this.

Come on.

Where?

Go spend some of my sister's money.

Now. Thanks very much.

Happy Christmas.

Come on, ya f***in' eejit.

You're shite.

Shite!

Play something we know, will ya?

You don't even give money.

This guy!.

- You sing with me?

- Yeah, go on.

- What song you like?

- Did ya ever hear of Bob Dylan?

Ah, yes! Dylan, very good!

His name's Dylan.

You know this?

Okay. I sing. You learn.

Come on mister, give me some money.

Bob Dylan, live on stage.

- Your name Bob Dylan?

- Just Dylan.

That is for you.

I have to go.

Guitar lesson in ten minutes.

What about our share?

I was collecting the money for you.

Where's my share of it?

All he said was he was squatting

in a house on Gardiner Street.

How are we going to know which one?

We'll just try them all.

How many houses can there be on one street?

Excuse me, Mister. Is this a squat?

- Is this a squat?

- I don't understand you.

- A squat.

- I don't understand.

Do you know Barry Dunne?

Is Barry Dunne there?

Do you know Barry Dunne?

- Here, do you know Barry Dunne?

- He used to live here.

- They threw him out about six months ago.

- Forwhat?

- Fighting.

- Do ya know where he went?

He moved overthe road, down the other end...

...number 68 I think.

- Thanks.

- Nice one mister.

Hello?

Excuse me, does Barry Dunne live there?

No. But a boy lived in that flat.

I think he was Barry.

- Big scar on his lip?

- Yes.

He was fighting with a man on the stairs.

Police came to arrest him.

Then I saw him in the streets,

sleeping in boxes.

- What street?

- At the river.

- Are you his friends?

- He's me brother.

I hope you find him.

Sorry, I'm busy.

F*** it, that's it so.

Come on, we'll go down and look.

She said at the river.

Kylie, forget about it, will ya?

He's out on the street.

We're never going to find him now.

He's not much use to us anyway,

he can't even find himself a gaff.

Maybe she's talking about a different person.

- Another Barry Dunne?

- Maybe she remembered his name wrong.

She said he had a scar on his lip.

It's him. Why don't you just admit it?

It's not him. We can still find him,

and he's going to help us.

He's not going to help us, he's gone...

...and you're off your head if ya think

you're going to find him now.

He's probably in one of these other houses

that we haven't knocked on yet.

See you, honey.

Is Barry Dunne there?

- How you lose your brother?

- He ran away two year ago.

Said if he didn't, he'd kill me Da,

and the prick wasn't worth going to jail over.

- He would kill his own father?

- Yeah. I would too.

I hate the f***er.

- But you'd go to jail.

- I'd make it look like an accident.

Anyway, they can't put you into jail

until you're eighteen.

And your girlfriend?

What would she think?

She's not me girlfriend.

- What about your mother?

- I'd be saving her.

Your man was a bit old for ya.

I like old.

Old has money.

So you kiss him for money?

No. He is kind to me.

And I have nothing to give him, only kisses.

When you kiss, you give or you take.

See?

For you...

...I give you luck.

- Do you know Barry Dunne?

- No.

Do you know Barry Dunne?

- They didn't know him.

- He's gone, Kylie.

He never was able to look after

himself without me Ma around.

- Come on and we get some dinner.

- I haven't got anymore money.

- I thought you had loads.

- I did but we spent it. Those wheelies weren't cheap.

It's time to go home.

I'm not going home and you promised

you wouldn't leave me out here.

I'm the one that's going to get killed.

I don't know what you're so worried about...

...your big sister, so f***in' what?

We're both in as much trouble

for running off.

They'll be glad to get you back.

You'll be grand.

I thought we were running away.

I thought you'd stay with me...

...after me saving you from

your Da gonna kick the bollocks off you...

...if you want to go back to that,

then f*** off home...

...I'm going to find Barry and I'm not going

back to that kip no matter what you do.

You don't even know Barry.

You were only eight when he ran off.

Say what you like.

I'm not going back!

- But I'm starving.

- So nick something.

We have to go home.

Fine. Go home, ya bastard.

Fine. I will.

- Are you sleeping here tonight?

- Are you mad?

The minute I make 29 euro

I'm going in the hostel.

Any change?

Do you know Barry Dunne?

- Who?

- Nothing.

Get lost, will ya?

You're cramping me style.

Nobody will give me anything with you

sitting there in that jacket.

Shut up you.

It's better than that...

...manky yoke you're wearing.

- Hi. How's it going?

- Alright.

- Don't mind me.

- Hi Joe.

- Do you have somewhere to stay tonight?

- Where's your family?

We have some nice warm soup.

Would you like some while we

ask you a few questions?

Leave her lads, she's grand.

She's keeping me company.

If we get your details we might

be able to find you a bed tonight.

Send me home, you mean.

I'm not telling you nothing.

Here, have some soup anyway.

What's your name?

I'm Catherine.

Oh look, there's me Da.

We just want to know they're okay, Adrian.

Kylie's mother Carol Ann is in ribbons.

With these perverts going around, and that

little girl going missing in Cabra last week.

I know, I can only imagine how you must feel.

Can I ask Dylan's dad, Noel, is it?

That's right.

How are you, Adrian?

Grand thanks, Noel.

You're very welcome to fm104.

Let me tell you, the hearts of the people

of Dublin are with you tonight.

Has anything like this

ever happened before?

- No. Never.

- So why did he run off today?

To be honest with you, Adrian...

...I had a few cross words

with him this morning...

...so I think he may have decided

he'd get back at me forthat.

But it doesn't matter about that, Adrian.

We just want him home, now.

What about his friends?

Did they have any idea where he might be gone?

- He doesn't have any friends.

- What do ya mean he doesn't have any friends...

- ...all 11 year olds have friends.

- No, he doesn't.

He spends all his time on his own, Adrian.

Playing these computer games.

The kids up here give him a hard time,

because he's too quiet.

It sounds like he might have

finally found a friend in Kylie.

Let me bring in Anita on line three.

You're on fm104 Anita, how are you?
