-Alpha bravo, 1-1.
Confirm both your
units and support team
are ground side.
- Stand by, 1-0.
All units to confirm the cordon.
-Alpha bravo 442
-All units be reminded I want
a calm and low key approach.
-Stand by, alpha bravo.
Right, here we go.
-The fruity fizz
cloud is broken
Tommy Brennan,
open up! Police!
-Police!
-Tommy Brennan.
I'm D.I. Collette Cunningham.
I'm arresting you
-Officers in pursuit
of Tommy Brennan.
Copy that.
-Jesus Christ.
-Stop! Stop now.
- Get off.
- Will you make sure she's okay?
- Yeah.
- Tommy Brennan,
I'm arresting you on
suspicion of possession,
intent to supply
and obstruction.
You do not have to say anything.
But it may harm your defense
if you do not mention
something which you
later rely on in court.
- Right, Tommy
- Yeah. Hello.
-Hi. Is this Mrs. Cunningham?
-Yeah, it's Ms. Who's this?
-This is Detective
Garda Luke Byrne
from the Irish Police in Dublin.
-Sorry. What's this about?
-I'm sorry. I'd rather
not say over the phone.
-You said you're
in Dublin, right?
Well, I'm in Liverpool, so
-Yes. Would it possible
to arrange a time to meet?
-Jesus Christ. Tommy, you
need to pipe the hell down.
You're doing
yourself no favours,
and I'm on the bloody phone.
Listen, either you tell
me why you're calling me,
or we discuss this the next
time you're taking the ferry
to Liverpool.
-I'm sorry. I've
got some bad news.
We have found Stacey
Lockley's body.
-Sorry, Stacey who?
-Stacey Lockley. You're
down as her next-of-kin.
-Yeah, I don't know
anyone called Stacey.
- Tommy!
- Jesus Christ!
Tommy, in the last three days,
six people have been
rushed into A&E,
one even had his skull cut open
because his brain
was swelling so much,
all because of
drugs you sold him.
Tell me who gave you
the drugs to sell.
-No comment.
-I get it, I do.
These people mean
nothing to you.
Why would you give a shit?
But they are people, Tommy.
They're real people
and husbands and wives
and mothers and
fathers, just like you.
How would you feel if it
was one of yours up there,
with their skull cut open?
-No comment.
-Listen, here's
the thing, Tommy.
As of tomorrow, I'm
going on me holidays.
Two week, all
inclusive to Tenerife.
Do you think I'm going
to actually give a shit
about your predicament when
I'm sitting by the pool
with an Aperol
Spritz in my hand?
Hm?
I don't know who's going to
take your case when I'm gone.
All right?
But some of these guys
are real dickheads.
All right. I was
just trying to help.
-Wait.
-Are you off to Tenerife
then, boss, or?
-Am I fuck? Going to
Tuscany to drink wine.
Hello.
- Hi. Ms. Cunningham.
-Look, like I said earlier,
I don't know any
young women in Dublin.
All right?
Last time I was there
was for a hen night,
and that was like 30
It was a long time ago,
let's put it like that.
After that experience, I
swore I'd never set foot
in the place again.
-Okay. Would it help if
I gave you a description?
She's 36 years old. Around
5'6", of medium build.
She has brown hair, blue eyes,
and a large birthmark on
the side of her shoulder.
-You said she had a birthmark?
-Does that ring any bells?
Hello?
Are you still there, Collette?
Hello?
-Boss, we were gonna wait,
seeing as it's your birthday
while you're away.
Here, we've all
thrown in a few quid
towards your holiday booze fund.
Are you all right, boss?
-Collette Cunningham.
Detective Luke Byrne.
-Collette Cunningham?
It's her.
-We're still waiting on the
results of the post mortem.
-How did she die?
-At this stage, we're
treating the death of Stacey
as an apparent death by suicide.
I'd like some time alone
with my daughter, please.
-Yes, of course.
-Would it be okay if I
can ask a few questions
about your daughter, Collette?
Just want to get a better
sense of what her life was like
in the lead up to her death.
-I don't think there's much
I can tell you, to be honest.
-Take your time.
Just anything that can
give us a little insight
into what may have led
her to take her life.
-I don't know.
Haven't seen her in 20 years.
-Right. Right. Okay.
But you have spoken to
her in that time, right?
-No.
-Texts, e-mails?
-She left home when she was 17.
Cut all contact.
-So you know
nothing of her life.
-Nothing.
I tried looking for her.
I went out of my
mind looking for her.
And the whole time, she
was right here in Dublin.
I guess the fact that
she changed her name
from Kate Cunningham to
Stacey Lockley says it all.
She didn't want to
be found, did she?
-Right. Okay. Um
We'll leave it there for now.
Here is a list of support
agencies we recommend.
Will you be staying
in Dublin a while?
-I don't know.
-Well, can I contact
someone for you?
-No.
-I can arrange for
someone to take you over
to Stacey's house,
if you'd like.
-No, it's okay.
I'll drive myself.
-Any questions, anything at
all, just give me a call.
-I've got questions.
-Sorry?
-I've got questions now.
A million of them, in fact.
-Okay. Uh, can I grab a cup
of tea or something first?
-No.
Where was she found?
-Stacey was found
in the Phoenix Park.
-What do you know about her?
Her life? Did she work?
-Yes.
Until quite recently,
she worked as a nurse
in St. Peter's
General Hospital.
-Until recently?
You mean until her death?
-No.
Stacey was suspended
shortly prior to her death.
Well, a couple of
months ago, actually.
-Why was she suspended?
-Look, um, I'll be
honest with you.
My brief was to try and get
more of an understanding
about the period leading
up to Stacey's death.
I wasn't prepared for the
fact that you and her
-Luke
tell me who's in charge here.
-That would be Detective
Sergeant Jane Connolly.
-Okay, well, can you tell
Detective Sergeant Jane Connolly
that Detective Inspector
Collette Cunningham
from Serious Crime across
the way in Liverpool
would like to speak with her?
Can you do that for me?
I won't take up
much of your time.
I just want to ask a few
questions about my daughter.
-Right. Of course you do.
Um, is Kurt up to date on OCIU's
investigation into Stacey?
- No, not yet. Mainly because
- OCIU?
-Um, Organized Crime
Investigation Units,
where Detective Byrne works.
-Why is my daughter's
suicide being investigated
by organized crime?
-Well, because of the
allegations leveled against her.
-Which allegations?
-The allegations of
theft leveled against her
by her employer.
-I'm sorry. Um
I haven't seen my
daughter for 20 years.
So any information
you can give me
to bring me up to speed, I
would really appreciate it.
-Okay, Collette.
Prior to her death,
Stacey was suspended from
her job at the hospital due
to suspected theft of opioids.
It's standard procedure
for organized crime
to investigate where
controlled drugs are involved.
-Right.
Is the hospital still carrying
out the investigation?
-As far as I'm aware, yes.
-When Stacey's body was found,
was there anything
unusual about the scene?
Any injuries?
-Like I said earlier, we
are treating this death
as an apparent death by suicide.
At this stage, we have no
reason to suspect any foul play.
-Right.
Thank you for your time.
-Actually, uh,
Collette, before you go.
We haven't been able to get
in touch with Cara and Liam.
You have no idea where
they are, do you?
-I'm sorry. Who?
Hello?
Hello?
-Mom?
We're back from Debbie's.
Mom? You home?
Who the fuck are you?
-I'm your grandmother.
-You're you're from
- From Liverpool.
- Yeah. Liverpool, yeah.
-No offense, like, but
mom always said that
-Cara, don't say anything
-She always said that she didn't
want anything to do with her.
-She's here now, isn't she?
Mum's obviously invited her.
-Well, did she?
Did she invite you?
-A police detective
contacted me.
They've been looking
for you, as well.
-Police detective?
-Where's Mum?
Is she upstairs?
-I'm very sorry.
Your mom's dead.
-No.
No. No, she's not.
Where is she?
Mum! Mum!
Mum! Answer me!
Mum? Mum?
Mum?
Where is she?
Where is she?!
-She's gone, love.
-No, no.
Don't fucking touch
me! Where is she?!
Where is she?!
-I'm so sorry, Cara.
-No.
No, she's not!
No!
-I'll look after her.
-What's going to happen to us?
Where are we going to live?
-Where's your dad?
-Haven't seen him in years.
-Are you staying
here tonight, then?
-Yeah.
Yeah, of course
I'll stay tonight.
-You are not sleeping
in mum's bed, though.
You can stay, but
not in mum's bed.
-Cara, stop. She can stay
in mum's bed if she wants.
- No fucking way is she.
- It's fine.
-No, you can sleep in
mum's bed if you want.
- No!
- Cara.
- No, Liam. What the fuck?
- Yes, Cara.
-I'll sleep on the sofa.
It's it's not a problem.
-What happened to Mum?
-Your mum
she took her own life.
-No.
She didn't. No, I
don't believe you.
-Cara, why would she lie?
-She wouldn't, though.
She wouldn't do that to us.
-Yeah.
-Why have we never
met you before?
-Did your mom mention me?
-Yeah, sometimes.
Said you were a police
detective or something.
- Yeah.
- No.
She said you threw out
of home when she was 17.
She said that you
were really strict,
said you wouldn't
let her do anything.
And she said that she was
glad the day you threw her out
because she couldn't breathe
living under your roof.
- Cara, she never said that.
- Yes, she did, Liam.
She said it to me.
She said that she loved her dad,
but that you were a total bitch.
That you were as
good as dead to her!
-Cara!
-It's been a long day, so I
-Cara, why would you say that?
-I've made up the couch for you.
-Thank you.
-I think she was late on
the mortgage, as well.
-Right.
I'll take care of it.
-What about the funeral?
-I'll sort it.
Don't worry.
-Okay. Thank you.
-Hey, boss.
I heard had to
cancel your holiday
and move across to Ireland
on some family business.
I do hope everything is okay.
Oh, hang on. Hang on.
Yeah, the others, they just
want to say a little something.
-Hello.
-Hello. Chief
Superintendent Brown?
- Yes?
- This is
Detective Inspector
Collette Cunningham.
-Yes, Collette.
-Yeah, I'm sorry to be
calling so late, sir.
I have a favor I
need to ask you.
-So, it seems that your
chief spoke to my chief,
and you're to join us
for the next six months.
I mean, it's all happened
very quickly above our heads,
and it's highly unusual,
but here we are.
-Well, thank you for having me.
-You'll be on probation for
the first couple of months
as a detective garda.
That means doing all
the grunt work
Thefts, assaults,
that kind of thing.
Nothing as exciting as
what you were dealing with
in Liverpool, I'm afraid.
-That's all right.
-You've already completed
basic firearm training,
but you will be required
to do a refresher course
before we can issue
with a handgun here.
You are free to do
that before you begin.
-Yes, of course.
-Okay. Yeah.
-Right. Well, just
-Collette, you're a
very expensive resource.
I have a recruitment freeze
for the next six months
because of your transfer.
I hope you're worth it.
-I come with 30 years
of on the job experience
and 53 years of life experience.
I won't let the side down.
One more thing, if I may.
I'm hoping to keep my
association with Stacey's death
under wraps for the time being.
I don't want people walking
on eggshells around me.
Is that all right?
-Yeah.
-Thank you, Sergeant.
-What will it be like?
The funeral.
I've never been to one before.
-It can be whatever
you want it to be.
It's an opportunity
to honor your mom.
-I've got trousers and shoes.
But I don't have a
black shirt or anything.
-We can tell you a black shirt.
-Cara?
-What the fuck? You
can't just come in here.
- I did knock.
- Well, what do you want?
- I was wondering
if you and Liam wanted
to go shopping this weekend.
Find something to
wear for the funeral.
-Oh, I'm busy.
-I just thought you might
want to find some special.
-Fine. Okay.
-All right, thanks, Cara.
-Hello.
-I'm here to see Ryan Shelby.
Detective Collette Cunningham.
-This is your desk.
- Thanks, Ryan.
- If you need anything, call me.
-Detective Garda Cunningham?
You're the lead on the Loftus
Hill Prison case, right?
The one with the two prisoners
who overdosed in their cell?
-That's right. Yeah.
-Siobhán Wilson.
Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you, Siobhán.
-Have you, um Have you
met the rest of the team yet?
-Not really. Just
exchanged a few nods
with them this morning.
-Ah, well, allow me.
You lot, this is Collette.
She's joined us
from across the sea.
- Hiya.
- Hey.
-Uh, well, maybe join us at
the pub one night after work.
It can sometimes
take a few points
to get past nods with this lot.
-Thanks for trying.
Right, so it says here that
there was methamphetamine found
in the prisoners' cell.
- Uh, yeah.
-Do we know how
the drugs got in?
-Yes. A drone.
But I don't think
our drone operator
will be getting their
pilot's license anytime soon.
-What do you mean?
-Oh, he, um He
crashed it into a tree.
-Oh, my God, the fool.
Tell me he had it registered.
-Yep. To a one Dylan
Horgan, 58 Gerald Avenue.
-Right. Let's go.
So, what did you do
to piss off the boss?
- You do you mean?
- Getting stuck with a newbie.
You must have done
something to piss her off.
-Uh, well, I went on a
few dates with her son,
and then I realized that I
preferred having sex with women.
- Right?
- Yep.
- Mrs. Johnson?
- Yeah?
I'm Detective Garda Cunningham.
This is Detective Garda Wilson.
Are you the foster carer of
Dylan Horgan, Mrs. Johnson?
-You've come a long
way to bawl him out.
What's he done this time?
-We have a runner!
-Hey!
All right, show's over.
You've had your fun.
-Fuck off, Mary.
-Let's go inside and
have a cup of tea.
-So what does that mean?
I mean, if he was involved,
what does that mean for him?
-The drugs were laced
with a deadly substance.
Two people have died as
a result of taking them.
He could be in a lot of trouble.
-I do me best as a
foster parent, you know?
-Most of the kids here come
from really shitty backgrounds.
Violence, drugs, parents in
prison, that kind of thing.
It's hard.
I try and give them the
right kind of guidance.
I really do.
-Detective Cunningham,
we found something.
It's a smart controller
for an FPV drone.
-No, you must be mistaken.
This is Ashling's room.
Dylan probably hid it there
without Ashling knowing.
Marlene, you said some
of the kids' parents
are in prison, right?
-That's right.
-Ashling, we brought
you in for questioning
because we found a drone
controller underneath your bed.
Did you put it there?
-No.
-The controller was
paired to a drone
that was used to fly a package
into Loftus Hill Prison.
-Your dad's in Loftus
Hill, isn't he?
Must be really hard for you
being separated from him.
You must really miss him.
-Yeah.
-Does your dad call
you from the prison?
-Sometimes.
-We have a call log here that
says he called you last week.
We're in the process of
getting that recording now.
-When you talked to
your dad last week,
did you tell him
about the drone?
-I don't know.
-Dylan told us that he's been
teaching you how to fly it.
Ashling, did your dad tell
you to fly a package into
Loftus Hill prison for him?
I know he's your dad,
and I know you love him.
-I just wanted to help him.
I'm sorry.
-Detective Cunningham.
You got a second?
-Yeah.
-We've got the general
report back from the coroner
regarding Stacey's body.
Toxicology has confirmed
the lethal mix of drugs
in her system.
The coroner believes
she overdose
and has ruled the
death a suicide.
As we haven't found anything
to implicate Stacey,
Organized Crime will be
closing their
investigation into her.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
-Thanks, Luke.
- Take care.
- Yeah.
-Do I have to wear a suit?
-Of course you do, dick
brain. It's a funeral.
-Mum though men in suits
were pricks anyway.
She wouldn't give a shit
if a wore one or not.
-You're right. Whatever
you want to wear.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-I want to wear this.
-Go for it.
So, is there anyone
in particular
we should invite to the funeral?
-Debbie probably.
-She your mum's best mate?
-Yeah, I guess so.
-Right, so we'll invite Debbie.
Anyone else? Was your
mum seeing anyone?
-Yeah, Eoin. But don't
worry about inviting him.
-Why's that?
-I think they broke up.
Oh. Can I get Kevin?
-Yeah.
Is he a friend of your mom's?
-No, my boyfriend.
-Well, then I'm inviting
my boyfriend, too.
-Are you thinking of
staying here in Ireland?
-Yeah. For the kids I am.
Tell me, how come guardianship
didn't go automatically
to the kids' father?
-Because they were born
outside of marriage.
It's only the mother
has an automatic right
to guardianship in Ireland.
-Does Stacey always have
me down as guardian?
-No. No, she only ask me
to change it recently.
Yeah, the will was made
on the 13th of April.
-That's a week before she died.
Any idea why she changed it?
-No. Afraid not, no.
-Does Detective
Garda Patrick Fannon
work here with Central?
-Uh, yeah, that's
him right there.
-Thanks.
Detective Fannon?
-Detective Connolly, I believe.
-Call me Collette.
It's nice to meet you.
-Patrick. Nice
to meet you, too.
Top marks on your
first case here.
-We did okay.
I understand you were first
on the Stacey Lockley scene.
-Yes, I was.
Though Organized
Crime swooped in
and took that off my
hands pretty quickly.
-I just wanted to ask,
was there anything unusual or
suspicious when you found her?
-Nothing I could
see. Nothing at all.
-Thanks, Patrick.
-Sure.
-Neighbor.
-Liam.
Car's here.
-Yellow was a favorite color.
-Yeah, I know.
-I miss her.
I really miss my mom.
-Course you do, love.
-Love does not come to an end.
In short, there are
three things that last
Faith, hope, and love.
And the greatest
of these is love.
The Word of the Lord.
Stacey's mother will
now say a few words.
-Thank you.
Unfortunate
Hi. I'm Collette.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to
know the adult Stacey became,
the Stacey that you all knew.
I didn't get to share the
life that she built in Dublin
with Cara and Liam,
and you, her friends.
So I just want to thank
you for providing her
with that love and friendship
and for giving her a home.
As a little girl,
Stacey loved this poem,
and she would recite it,
and she knew it off by heart.
So I just thought I
I thought I'd read it today.
For Stacey.
Down by the salley gardens
my love and I did meet.
She passed the salley gardens
with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy,
as the leaves grow on the tree.
But I, being young and foolish,
with her would not agree.
In a field by the river
my love and I did stand.
And on my leaning shoulder
she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy,
as the grass grows on the weirs.
But I was young and foolish,
and now I'm full of tears.
-Night then.
-Good night, love.
