Just find out.
Don't stoop or try to hide your face, you'll only look guilty.

So, what do you think? I think with that much hair product, Got to look my best for the cameras outside.
Nice, the The handsome face of policing.
For those of you who haven't heard, Darren Kiely died last night.
In my station we serve the law, and that's fair and impartial.
Without exception As you may know Hennessy is my brother-in-law, so to ensure we Nikki will be taking Everything goes through her.
As you've probably seen there is a significant media presence outside, but in case you're in any doubt, we do not comment on this case.
I do mean you Garda Holden.
LAUGHTER Why don't you come to my office later, we can have a word then, okay? You ready? Yeah.
What did McKay want? Nothing.
Didn't look like nothing to me.
Like you and the Super were having a nice cosy private chat.
Exactly, "private".
What can I do you for? Actually we need to speak to Niamh.
Don't mind me.
We just wanted to inform you that Darren Kiely died last night.
So we'll need to go through your witness statement again, Would lunchtime suit you to pop over to the station? Yeah.
Okay, see you then.
You're doing the right thing, Niamh.
Trust me.
We've all our savings invested in this place, I can't jeopardise that.
And you won't.
Hello.
Thought you would want to know, the Kielys are home.
But I thought I might go see them as their FLO, a pre-emptive action.
But for what it's worth, I think it's a smart idea.
Almost forgot, Great.
Now, Ma.
The boy hasn't been buried yet.
No, he's laid out on a mortuary table, while the Hennessys strut around as if they own the town Michael Hennessy did this, not the whole family.
Shut up, Katie, you don't know what you're talking about.
Tell me you're not going to let them get away with this too? It should be you with all the Instead you're stuck here The Hennessys stole your livelihood, and you let them.
Are you going to let them get away with that too? I told you, nobody's getting away with anything! All this stuff with our families, that's not us, it's them.
No matter what, me and you stick together.
And then we're unbreakable.
I shouldn't even be out.
I should be at home.
Then stay here with me, I don't have to open for a couple of hours.
I'll ring the doorbell, you go round the back, in case he tries to leg it.
Five minutes, that's all I'm asking.
Did you get him? He owes me three months rent.
As long as it's important.
I don't know what's wrong with you today.
There's nothing wrong.
You might want to tell your face that.
If you've a problem at work, You don't need to go to McKay.
I'm your partner, that's what I'm here for.
Whatever it is - I've probably been through it myself anyway.
What would you do if you knew another officer had done something illegal? What kind of illegal? Wow! It's fabulous.
Just what we need around here.
Your Dad tells me all this was your idea? Yeah.
Aren't you the lucky one, having such a supportive father to hand over the shop like this.
All the hard work is just so we have something to pass on to our children.
You never stop wanting to help them, especially if they're in trouble.
Can't help it, it's just animal instinct.
Likewise, especially if I thought someone was trying to intimidate one of my daughters.
(Laughs) Don't want to keep you from the work, I know how precarious start-ups can be.
I think we can take it she knows about your statement.
What? Poke the bear.
Make things worse.
You can't rat on another officer, you just can't.
The girl was under age.
Could be 17! Oh well, that's all right then.
Cheating ain't illegal.
Under age sex is.
But you don't Not for certain.
So I just turn a blind eye? Yeah.
If you want a career.
Now who's over reacting? Report McGonigle, and you may as well hand in your resignation.
Because no one's going to thank you for ratting on a colleague.
Not at this station.
Not at any station.
This is not why I signed up.
Is this the brick they used? You don't have to be a genius to work out that the Kielys did this.
I can give you the address if it helps.
It's obvious.
Unfortunately "obvious" isn't enough.
We're bound by things like evidence and proof.
Isn't that your job, finding evidence and proof? Even if it was the Kielys, maybe you should just let it go.
Why would I do that? Because their son died yesterday.
This is criminal damage.
And I want someone charged for it.
What's your name? And you? Garda Adrijan Kosos.
My son-in-law, Superintendent McKay, with the investigation.
Good day.
Does look delicious.
Niamh Reid didn't show for her interview.
She said she'd come in.
Patricia Hennessy owns the building the cafe's in.
Can't blame her for not wanting to upset the landlady.
You want to tell the boss that, when he asks why we haven't got statement out of her? Bang on down there now and impress upon Ms.
Reid the importance of her You got that? Sharon, if you're free now, we could have that chat? Okay, well why don't you come and see me later, when you've got a minute.
As your Family Liaison Officer, I'll keep you posted on all matters to do with the case So why hasn't Michael Hennessy been charged yet? Of course not.
Your boss is a Hennessy.
Superintendent McKay has taken himself off this case.
Another officer has taken over.
All show.
I know how difficult this is.
Really? But I can tell you from experience, is seeing justice done, in court.
You're the victims here.
You've lost your son.
Take things into your own hands, and all you're doing is damaging Darren's case.
Then let us do our job.
Look, I'm sorry, I didn't make it in.
Work got on top of me.
We can reschedule.
You go ahead, I can hold down the fort.
But pretending you didn't see Only way we can do our job properly is with the help of people like you.

That's the idea.
How did you get on with the Kielys? In the interests of our crime stats alone, I'd happily buy her ticket back to wherever she came from.

I don't mean putting their poxy windows in.
