Dublin Murders (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Reilly and Maddox's working relationship comes under pressure when, in the course of the investigation, elements of their pasts emerge that they would rather forget.
- We always think that
the ones who get away
are the lucky ones.
They must have someone
watching over them.
They're blessed.
And we're not supposed
to think like that,
sentimental bullshit,
that's not for us,
jaded bastards, but we do.
And if someone still
clings to life,
a flicker of pulse,
we think lucky,
blessed, watched over.
But what if the killed
are the lucky ones?
(light celesta music)
The brightest, most golden and
most alive, they're chosen.
And the rest of us
aren't lucky at all.
Not blessed.
Not watched over
by some kind angel.
The ones who get left,
they're just too slow, too
stupid, too muddy, too dull.
The gods don't want them.
They're lumps.
They're rejects.
We all are.
(audience applause)
Rejects.
- We won't see each other again.

(muffled dispatch radio)
- Roger Control, we've got
the whole area sealed off.

Hang up and try again.
Hang up and try again.
- Eye witness is saying
they saw someone like me.
Isn't really me though, is it?
- I know that, Cian.
But we've got to go through
the motions, tick the boxes.
- I was with Alannah all night.
- What were you doing?
(scoffs)
- Do the English even do that?
Heard all the girls
have to fake it
Tar-amnesia
swam
- It's absolutely true.
- I don't even go
into that shop.
It's a shit hole.
Food in there's
always out of date.
Wouldn't be seen
dead in the kip.
- As you've mentioned
the word dead.
- She speaks.
- Cashier who got stabbed.
Well he is.
Bled out right there.
- Poor fella, I'll
light a candle for him
K music)
dill-wait
Should be in bed.
And I'm sat here while
you lot dick around.
I told you what
happened over and over.
- He's saying it was you.
Mum
What was me?
- Your boyfriend, Cian,
he says it was you.
- He wouldn't.
- And you've got a conviction.
Possession of an
offensive weapon;
a serrated kitchen knife.
- That was years ago.
I was 'I4 for fuck's sake,
didn't do anything with it.
- What's a jury gonna think
when they look at you?
Wham?)
You've already got two kids
that don't live with you
because of the never ending
car crash of your life,
but despite that you're
having another one
because you think
this time's gonna be
the fairytale with
the happy ending,
and it's not, because a
man's dead in a pool of blood
and you're the one with
the prior conviction
so you'll go to prison, and
Cian will find someone new
because he reckons
he can do better,
and deep down, Alannah,
darling, you agree with him
because you don't think
you're worth anything either.
Why should anyone love you
when you're lower than shit?
So there is no fairytale,
no happy ending,
new,
This only this moment
right here right now
and what you do with it.
- Three, two, one.
(Alannah sobbing)
Did Cian leave the flat?
Did you get rid of
the knife for him?
- I put it down the grate of
the drain outside my flat.
Winner-arming,
Still had blood on it.
(seagulls cawing)
- That's yours.
How can you have two
sauces on a bacon sandwich?
- Red sauce one side,
brown on the other.
That's the rules.
- You're a monster.
(mm)
wan
- You're a ruthless bastard.
(indistinct chatter)
- Detective Garda
Cassandra Maddox.
- [Male] Here he comes.
(applause)
Good work.
Good man yourself.
- [Reilly] Thank you.
- I know that little prick.
Tm ('Jaw.
He's been a twat
he was in nappies.
Good man yourself though.
- Well it wasn't
just me, was it?
- Been thinking, we
should team up again.
- I've got a partner.
- Yeah but we all
know she's only in
murder because of quotas.
- O'Kelly.
Mum
- All you did was
your job, Reilly.
No call to look smug.
- It's just my face, sir.
- Mm-hmm, where's the other one?
- She's in court this morning,
old case before
she was on murder.
- If it's not my squad
I don't give a bollocks.
Get off your arse and
go out to the country.
Local Garda have called it in,
forensics already attending.
Piss off.
- I'll come with you.
- What the fuck are these?
You're the sheriff now.
Are you gonna ride into
town and make a giant
tit sandwich out of everything?
- No, sir.
- Then go back to your
desk and do some work,
and I see that t-shirt
again I will staple
your sorry penis to the wall.
Jesus Christ!
Are you trying to
give me an aneurism?
Why haven't you pissed off yet?
- I will when you tell me
where the body is, sir.
K music)
- It was your
evidence that helped
secure Mr. Johnson's conviction,
when you were working as
an undercover officer.
'War-m
- Mr. Johnson asserts that
while he accepts his sentence,
it is his inalienable
right to maintain
contact with his
children from prison,
as any other loving father
would be allowed to do.
- What Mr. Johnson wants is
to know where his wife is.
Allowing him any contact
whatsoever with his children
means a clear and immediate
threat to the safety
and wellbeing of both of his
children and their mother.
They must remain hidden.
Mr. Johnson may be in
prison but his associates
will do the work for him.
- [Judge] Any further questions?
- [Barrister] No further
questions, Judge.
(indistinct chatter)
- What have you got?
- 'I2 year old scrote.
Drove a stolen car into
his mother's front room
because he didn't want
noodles for his tea.
- Fair.
(mm)
- Quality dickhead.
- That's me nailed.
(laughing)
See you tonight?
"Mi.
- How was Johnston?
- Oh you know, he'd
like my head on a spike.
Pretty ordinary really.
Where we going?
= Knesknaree.
I didn't know where
until it was too late.
Your boots are in the back.
- Is it the woods?
K music)
Reilly
- Phelan.
This way, detectives.
Archaeologists.
Mm»
Statements and personal
details are being taken.
= [Per-er] Mann.
- [Adam] Peter, Jamie, wait up!
- [Male] Detective.
- Her name was Katherine
Devlin, she's 'I3.
She was registered as missing
at 2:47 p.m. yesterday,
Iran a check.
The photo of the missing
person sent through.
Sir.
She lives up on the estate.
She lived, up on the estate.
- [Reilly] Have her
family been contacted?
- No, sir.
- We'll do that.
- Has some bastard
been, you know, at her?
- Apart from killing
her you mean?
- Gonna need more
presence on the road.
Make sure no cameras get through
before we've got the tent up.
- [Phelan] Yeah, on it.
- Phelan.
Good M).
K music)
(crow squawks)
- This isn't the kill site.
Egg stage insect activity
and no traces of blood
on the stone or around it,
and she's been dead
approximately 24 to 36 hours,
but don't quote me on that.
- Who found her?
- Two of the archaeologists,
well, I say archaeologists,
they're students.
The lad bent over and
thought she was asleep,
tried to wake her up.
- Has she been raped?
- Can't say at this stage.
Cooper's away at
some conference,
enjoying the sound
of his own voice.
He'll work through
the night on it,
says he'll see you first
thing in the morning.
- And what is this?
- Some sort of altar.
That's why they're
doing the dig.
All this is gonna be
flattened for the motorway.
You know what everyone's
gonna ask about don't you?
It was the first thing Cooper
said when I called him.
- What's that?
- Is this something to do with
the others, back in the 80s?
They were the same sort
of age, weren't they?
120113.
- [Female] Boss.
- [Adam] Peter,
Jamie, wait for me!
Slew dawn
- [Peter] No, you speed up!
- Wait for me!
(WWI)
Wait up!

Peter?
Jamie?
Peter?
Jamie?
Where'd you 9°?
(mm)
- [Female] ls there any chance
you can give us a statement?
- [Mark] When can we
get on with our work?
- Who are you?
- Mark Hanley, site director.
- [Reilly] Okay Mr. Hanley.
- Dr. Hanley.
- Dr. Hanley.
No one's going to be
doing anything today.
- Who found the body?
- We did.
Mel Royce and Damien Donnelly.
- I lent over her.
I'm sorry.
- [Mel] I told him not to.
It was obvious she
wasn't sleeping.
- Not to me, I didn't know that.
I thought...
Look, I'm sorry for
leaning over her.
- Have you noticed anything
unusual in the site recently?
Anyone suspicious?
- Yeah, yeah loads of them,
all with signs over their
head saying fucking weirdo.
Did you pull this out
of your policemafis hat
of shit questions?
- Mark.
- Thank you for your
time, Dr. Hanley.
- [Radio Reporter]
There continues to be
a strong Garda
presence in the woods
of Knocknaree this morning,
as the search for the
missing school girl
Katherine Devlin intensifies.
The community was rocked back
in 'I985 when three children--
- Right, let's do this.
K music)
- [Child] Did you find her yet?
WWW
- Come here, you.
Keep your mouth shut.
(knocking on door)
(indistinct television chatter)
- Out of the way
Jessica, good girl.
- ML Dew“?
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
- I'm Detective
Garda Cassie Maddox,
mag
mm Reilly
- Have you found Katy?
- Can we come in, Mr. Devlin?
- [Male On TV] I actually
don't like it, because...
- [Jonathan] Rosalind!
- [Female On TV] You
don't like, which?
- [Male On TV] I don't
like prepping the prawns
because I find that the shells,
my hands are kind
of allergic to them.
- Rosalind!
Is she dead?
- The body of a
young girl was found
mum
I'm very sorry to say
but we have good reason
to believe it's Katy.
- But, is she dead?
- I'm afraid she is, yes.
- How is she dead?
- We can't say at this moment.
- Did somebody hurt her?
- [Maddox] I'm afraid so.
- She was such a good girl.
She never gave us
a moment's trouble.
- Are there any family
members we can call?
Anyone who can be with you?
- No.
It's just us.
(mm

- I'll get a cloth.
- You alerted missing
persons yesterday afternoon,
mam
- We all went to bed, I looked
in on her, she was asleep.
- And she wasn't
there in the morning?
- I thought she'd gone training.
She did that.
- Can I take a look at
Katy's bedroom, please?
- It's upstairs, first
door on the right.
- That's very kind of you.
- [Maddox] Not a
problem, Mrs. Devlin.
(music box plays)
(mm mm)
- I got those for her.
For Jess.
She likes them.
- Is this how Katy left her bed?
- I did that.
I always do that.
So it's ready for her.
- And Jessica didn't
notice or hear anything?
- She was in with me.
She gets, well she gets
night terrors sometimes.
I take her in with me.
Katy needs her sleep.
- And you didn't
hear Katy leave?
- You said Katy went
training most mornings.
- She got into ballet
school in England.
She was going there in
September, in two weeks.
She was training and training.
We thought she was there.
- Is this really happening?
Is this happening?
Is this happening?
(Wm)
(Jessica screaming)
“Wm.
- [Reilly] Jesus Christ.
- Yeah.
Family liaison are here.
I'll go brief them.
- I had them ready.
You pray for good news but
it's never likely is it?
- I'm sure they'll
appreciate the kindness.
- It's Katy.
It's Katy!
- [Female] That's the dance
teacher, Simone Cameron.
Teaches all the little girls.
- You know everyone?
- Everyone and everything.
The curse of being old.
Nothing to say with
Katy that it's like
the other poor children?
- No.
- Well that's something.
My mammy used to say, "Course
they'll never be found,
not hide nor hair.
They've gone under the
hill with the old ones."
- We'll find out
who did it to Katy.
- I always like the English.
There's lots that
don't, but not me.
I always like them.
Mind your feet
there now young man.
_ Ram?
We need to stop off
somewhere quiet.
- No we haven't got time.
- Somewhere quiet,
it won't take long.
This isn't for us.
We can't do this.
Not this one.
- You know what O'Kelly does
to people who pass on cases?
You've seen how
he treats Quigley.
- I don't care.
We're passing on it.
=IHI
- We tell him my head is
wrecked from working dead kids.
You back me up.
I'm drinking too much,
my concentratiofis shot,
I'm not sleeping.
My head is fucked from
all the raped dead kids.
- That's not true, Cass.
- You think I can't
play psych reports?
- So we go back
and bail on it now?
- Not right now.
We do the prep, set it up.
Gives you time to have concerns
over my erratic behaviour.
Concerns you take
discreetly to O'Kelly.
We set everything up,
take the family through
the formal identification,
but then we're out.
Say yes, Rob, because we
absolutely cannot do this one.
And you know why
you can't do it.
Wig)
- Yes.
- Ne we okay?
- We're always okay, Cass.
Always.
(light classical music)
- [Radio Reporter] Residents
of the Knocknaree estate
are only too familiar
with grief and heartache,
as 2'! years ago,
again in August,
three children disappeared
from the woods,
and only one was ever found.
Nobody in Knocknaree who
remembers that terrible summer
will ever forget the names
Peter, Germaine and Adam.
And new there is another
name to add to that list,
that of K--
- [Anne Robinson] What
G is the general name--
- We're missing our
favourite programme.
- [Anne Robinson] To accompany
meat and often served
in a long, shallow
jug known as a boat?
= II Gravy.
Mum
(construction noise)
K music)
- Cathal, it's happened again.
- [Cathal] Yeah?
What's happened again?
= Knesknaree.
- Fucking Christ.
Keep your voice down,
you fucking animal.
Harte.
Buy a toothbrush, buy some
wet wipes and fuck off.
=mm
(will,
Ours, you, me and Janet,
and the three of us,
there's no escape,
we can't escape.
- Come back again and
I'll have you kneecapped.
- Is it paedos?
- There's no immediate
sign of sexual assault.
Cooper's doing the PM overnight,
he'll be ready for us at 5 a.m.
- Jesus, that fella.
Sometimes he wouldn't give
you the steam off his piss,
other times he gives
you the full bladder.
Family?
- Door to door says they keep
themselves to themselves.
Not drinkers, not
ones to give a party.
Mrs. Devlin looks like she's
on prescription tranqs.
Jessica, the twin daughter,
has some sort of
learning difficulty.
Jonathan Devlin leads the
campaign to move the motorway.
The estate thought a
lot of Katy though.
One of their own doing well.
- Yeah well I'm getting
bollocks off the bloody press,
wanking themselves into
a frenzy about the dig
and this ancient site and
is it a satanic ritual?
Fuck sake.
Oh and is it a serial
killer who takes
2'! years off in between crimes?
I hate journalists.
I'd quite happily set
the dogs on all of them.
- We have a body and
there were no bodies
recovered back then.
- Three kids go into those
woods, only one comes out alive.
You two, get across that
Peter, Germaine and Adam case.
Get down to the archives
and pull all the files.
See if there's anything
we missed last time round.
Any detail, any connection.
I don't care how
tiny or random it is.
Hound it down.
- [Reilly] We will.
- What is wrong with you Maddox?
If I had wanted
female detectives
to stand around and look pretty
I'd have got ones
with bigger tits.
- You don't get to
speak to me like that.
And it's Jamie.
- [O'Kelly] What's Jamie?
- Germaine.
That's what she got called.
That's what she
liked to be called.
So if you're gonna
talk about her
have the decency to use
the name she preferred.
(door slams)
- Jesus.
Well usually I get
some smart-ass comment
about sure no one could
have bigger tits than me.
- She hasn't been sleeping well.
Drinking a bit too
much if you ask me.
Mails,
Yes, sir.
Reilly
She isn't gonna
complain to HR about me,
'cause it was just craic,
everyone knows that.
- I'll talk to her, sir.
K music)
What's that?
- From the ballet teacher.
- Simone Cameron.
- From Katy's
farewell performance.
So, O'Kelly?
- He doesn't give a shit
about your erratic behaviour.
He's just scared
you'll complain to HR.
- I like when he's scared.
(ballet music)
We agreed.
It's the right thing.
- I didn't say a word.
K music)
- [Male] Peter!
Jamie!
Jamie!
Adam!
(dogs barking)
Adam!
Jamie!
Adam!

- His feet aren't cut.
It's not his blood.
No cuts on his back either.

- [Reilly] Oh, Jesus Heather.
- You woke me up.
You know I'm alight sleeper.
[Reilly] ~»
Something you want, Heather?
= mu °
Could you not
smoke in your room?
It really aggravates my asthma.
- [Reilly] You have asthma?
Oh no.
- Yeah.
- [Reilly] You
never told me that.
Have you got a puffer?
- No.
- Shit, Heather.
You should have a puffer
if you're asthmatic.
This is dangerous.
You could die.
We should get you to
a hospital right now,
grab yourjacket
and I'll drive you.
- Could you just not
smoke in your room?
- Yeah, sure.
- And that is mine.
See?
The H.
- Oh yeah.
Thought it was an R.
It's a bit like how you
thought you had asthma
but it was just a
bit of a tickly cough
and a good suck on a lozenge
will sort you right out.
- The cheese you had
in there went green,
so, chucked it out.
It's your turn to buy
bleach and loo roll.
= .
- And those are my peas, too.
(heavy breathing)
(car horn honking)
(car horn honking)
- [Female] Get out
the fucking way!
- [Reilly] Sorry to
wake you up, Cass.
- I think the moral of
the story for you here
is don't screw your landlady.
- I didn't think she'd
take it out on the cheddar.
- Be thankful that's all
she's taking it out on.
Let's not pretend it's
been a normal day.
- Yeah all right.
- Rosalind Devlin.
- What about her?
- She wasn't wearing a bra.
What, you didn't notice?
- Did I notice that
the teenager sister of?
A murdered kid
wasn't wearing a bra?
How fucking dark
do you think I am?
- Well, I did,
I'm am that fucking dark.
She wasn't wearing a bra.
And those clothes.
{full-aim
- What are you thinking?
Are you changing your
mind about passing on it?
K swans)
- O'Kelly wanted me to come.
Report straight back to
him if it's, you know.
=lFmW
Nice that he let you
out of the building.
- He wants Cooper to
tell him I puked up
so he can laugh at me.
He's a bastard.
- Just breathe through
your mouth quickly.
- So, stomach contents.
A meal consisting
of beans on toast.
Classic dish, I enjoy it myself.
Advanced digestive process,
so eaten a good five
hours before death.
And a chocolate biscuit,
initial digestive process.
- So her killer could've
given it to her then?
- Or she could've taken
it from her house,
a snack for the walk.
Even I have a biscuit tin.
So, two blows with an object
of considerable weight.
The first grazes the
right hand side of
the back of her skull,
second blow is more forceful,
landing just behind
and above the left ear.
A lot of blood, though
neither blow were enough to...
Are you going to vomit,
Detective Quigley?
- All right, so what
did kill her then?
- This is what killed her.
Some material,
probably a plastic bag,
was placed over her head,
twisted the top of the spine
and held it in place.
Particular haemorrhage
to the eyes
and surface of the
lungs means that I can
comfortably assert
that the cause of death
was suffocation, complicated
by blunt force trauma.
Though there is a
time lapse between
the trauma to the head
and the suffocation,
perhaps about an
hour and a half,
during which time she was
undoubtedly still living.
- Did she know it was happening?
- Abrasions to the
knees, hip, elbows
are consistent with struggle.
There's also bruising
and tooth marks
on the inside of her mouth,
consistent with the
perpetrator pressing
a hand over her mouth.
No secondary Iividity, so
the position she was found in
was the position
she was kept in.
Time of death I would
say between midnight
and 2 a.m. on the
24th of August 2006,
meaning that she was
kept somewhere sheltered
before being carried into
the woods to be discovered
at 7:45 a.m. on the
25th of August 2006.
- She wasn't raped?
No sign of any violation?
- No.
The child in that respect
at least is untouched.
She'll be ready for
formal identification
later this morning.
- I'll ring O'Kelly.
- Oh sweetheart.
Your little feet.
K music)
mm)
- [Maddox] Hi, this
is Cassandra Maddox.
Please leave me a message.
(II-mm)
- [Male] Hey, it's me.
I was hoping to catch you
before you went to Cooper.
I'm guessing you got
your phone turned off.
Just checking you're okay.
See you later.
- I'll get a shower and
a change of clothes.
Have to wash the smell
of that place off me.
Get flowers.
Make sure you get her flowers.
And give her a hug, Rob.

- Hello Mum.
- Hello Adam.
- You need to be
careful calling me that.
- Adam?
Adam?
Where are Peter and Jamie?
Their mammies and
daddy are desperate.
Where are they?
What happened?
(panicked breathing)
- Adam!
Adam where are they?
- [Father] Leave him alone!
- Where's my Jamie?
- Just go away!
- What happened Adam?
I'll never leave!
- [Father] Leave him alone!
- Just tell us, where are they?
- He doesn't know!
- [Female] Adam!
Please!
(indistinct chatter)
- You're a good boy, Adam.
- I know this is a big change,
but we're gonna make a
success of it, aren't we Adam?
- My middle name's Robert.
I want to be Robert now.
(haunting theme music)
the ones who get away
are the lucky ones.
They must have someone
watching over them.
They're blessed.
And we're not supposed
to think like that,
sentimental bullshit,
that's not for us,
jaded bastards, but we do.
And if someone still
clings to life,
a flicker of pulse,
we think lucky,
blessed, watched over.
But what if the killed
are the lucky ones?
(light celesta music)
The brightest, most golden and
most alive, they're chosen.
And the rest of us
aren't lucky at all.
Not blessed.
Not watched over
by some kind angel.
The ones who get left,
they're just too slow, too
stupid, too muddy, too dull.
The gods don't want them.
They're lumps.
They're rejects.
We all are.

Should be in bed.
And I'm sat here while
you lot dick around.
I told you what
happened over and over.
- He's saying it was you.
Mum
What was me?
- Your boyfriend, Cian,
he says it was you.
- He wouldn't.
- And you've got a conviction.
Possession of an
offensive weapon;
a serrated kitchen knife.
- That was years ago.
I was 'I4 for fuck's sake,
didn't do anything with it.
- What's a jury gonna think
when they look at you?
Wham?)
You've already got two kids
that don't live with you
because of the never ending
car crash of your life,
but despite that you're
having another one
because you think
this time's gonna be
the fairytale with
the happy ending,
and it's not, because a
man's dead in a pool of blood
and you're the one with
the prior conviction
so you'll go to prison, and
Cian will find someone new
because he reckons
he can do better,
and deep down, Alannah,
darling, you agree with him
because you don't think
you're worth anything either.
Why should anyone love you
when you're lower than shit?
So there is no fairytale,
no happy ending,
new,
This only this moment
right here right now
and what you do with it.
- Three, two, one.
(Alannah sobbing)
Did Cian leave the flat?
Did you get rid of
the knife for him?
- I put it down the grate of
the drain outside my flat.
Winner-arming,
Still had blood on it.
(seagulls cawing)

How can you have two
sauces on a bacon sandwich?

your job, Reilly.
No call to look smug.

she was on murder.

I don't give a bollocks.
Get off your arse and
go out to the country.
Local Garda have called it in,
forensics already attending.
Piss off.

You're the sheriff now.
Are you gonna ride into
town and make a giant

your sorry penis to the wall.

- Mr. Johnson asserts that
while he accepts his sentence,
it is his inalienable
right to maintain
contact with his
children from prison,
as any other loving father
would be allowed to do.
- What Mr. Johnson wants is
to know where his wife is.
Allowing him any contact
whatsoever with his children
means a clear and immediate
threat to the safety
and wellbeing of both of his
children and their mother.
They must remain hidden.
Mr. Johnson may be in
prison but his associates
will do the work for him.

but don't quote me on that.
- Who found her?
- Two of the archaeologists,
well, I say archaeologists,
they're students.
The lad bent over and
thought she was asleep,
tried to wake her up.
- Has she been raped?

He'll work through

That's why they're
doing the dig.
All this is gonna be
flattened for the motorway.
You know what everyone's
gonna ask about don't you?
It was the first thing Cooper
said when I called him.

Mel Royce and Damien Donnelly.

It was obvious she
wasn't sleeping.
- Not to me, I didn't know that.
I thought...
Look, I'm sorry for
leaning over her.

unusual in the site recently?
Anyone suspicious?
- Yeah, yeah loads of them,
all with signs over their

don't like, which?
- [Male On TV] I don't
like prepping the prawns
because I find that the shells,
my hands are kind
of allergic to them.
- Rosalind!
Is she dead?
- The body of a
young girl was found
mum
I'm very sorry to say
but we have good reason
to believe it's Katy.
- But, is she dead?
- I'm afraid she is, yes.
- How is she dead?
- We can't say at this moment.
- Did somebody hurt her?
- [Maddox] I'm afraid so.

She never gave us

She did that.

Katy's bedroom, please?

For Jess.
She likes them.

I always do that.
So it's ready for her.

notice or hear anything?
- She was in with me.
She gets, well she gets
night terrors sometimes.
I take her in with me.
Katy needs her sleep.
- And you didn't
hear Katy leave?
- You said Katy went
training most mornings.
- She got into ballet
school in England.
She was going there in
September, in two weeks.
She was training and training.
We thought she was there.

appreciate the kindness.

It's Katy!

Teaches all the little girls.
- You know everyone?
- Everyone and everything.
The curse of being old.
Nothing to say with
Katy that it's like
the other poor children?
- No.
- Well that's something.
My mammy used to say, "Course
they'll never be found,
not hide nor hair.
They've gone under the
hill with the old ones."

who did it to Katy.

There's lots that

I always like them.

We need to stop off

This isn't for us.
We can't do this.

to people who pass on cases?
You've seen how
he treats Quigley.

We're passing on it.

wrecked from working dead kids.
You back me up.
I'm drinking too much,

My head is fucked from
all the raped dead kids.
- That's not true, Cass.
- You think I can't
play psych reports?
- So we go back
and bail on it now?
- Not right now.
We do the prep, set it up.
Gives you time to have concerns
over my erratic behaviour.
Concerns you take
discreetly to O'Kelly.
We set everything up,
take the family through
the formal identification,
but then we're out.
Say yes, Rob, because we
absolutely cannot do this one.
And you know why
you can't do it.

- [Radio Reporter] Residents
of the Knocknaree estate
are only too familiar
with grief and heartache,
as 2'! years ago,
again in August,
three children disappeared
from the woods,
and only one was ever found.
Nobody in Knocknaree who
remembers that terrible summer
will ever forget the names
Peter, Germaine and Adam.
And new there is another
name to add to that list,
that of K--
- [Anne Robinson] What
G is the general name--
- We're missing our
favourite programme.

meat and often served
in a long, shallow
jug known as a boat?

wet wipes and fuck off.

Ours, you, me and Janet,
and the three of us,
there's no escape,
we can't escape.
- Come back again and
I'll have you kneecapped.
- Is it paedos?
- There's no immediate
sign of sexual assault.
Cooper's doing the PM overnight,
he'll be ready for us at 5 a.m.
- Jesus, that fella.
Sometimes he wouldn't give
you the steam off his piss,
other times he gives
you the full bladder.
Family?
- Door to door says they keep
themselves to themselves.
Not drinkers, not
ones to give a party.
Mrs. Devlin looks like she's
on prescription tranqs.
Jessica, the twin daughter,
has some sort of
learning difficulty.
Jonathan Devlin leads the
campaign to move the motorway.
The estate thought a
lot of Katy though.
One of their own doing well.
- Yeah well I'm getting
bollocks off the bloody press,
wanking themselves into
a frenzy about the dig
and this ancient site and
is it a satanic ritual?
Fuck sake.
Oh and is it a serial
killer who takes
2'! years off in between crimes?
I hate journalists.
I'd quite happily set
the dogs on all of them.
- We have a body and
there were no bodies
recovered back then.
- Three kids go into those
woods, only one comes out alive.
You two, get across that
Peter, Germaine and Adam case.
Get down to the archives
and pull all the files.
See if there's anything
we missed last time round.
Any detail, any connection.
I don't care how
tiny or random it is.
Hound it down.
- [Reilly] We will.
- What is wrong with you Maddox?
If I had wanted
female detectives
to stand around and look pretty
I'd have got ones
with bigger tits.
- You don't get to
speak to me like that.
And it's Jamie.
- [O'Kelly] What's Jamie?
- Germaine.
That's what she got called.
That's what she
liked to be called.
So if you're gonna
talk about her
have the decency to use
the name she preferred.
(door slams)
- Jesus.
Well usually I get
some smart-ass comment
about sure no one could
have bigger tits than me.
- She hasn't been sleeping well.
Drinking a bit too
much if you ask me.
Mails,
Yes, sir.
Reilly
She isn't gonna
complain to HR about me,
'cause it was just craic,
everyone knows that.
- I'll talk to her, sir.
K music)
What's that?
- From the ballet teacher.
- Simone Cameron.
- From Katy's
farewell performance.
So, O'Kelly?
- He doesn't give a shit
about your erratic behaviour.
He's just scared
you'll complain to HR.
- I like when he's scared.

We agreed.
It's the right thing.

It really aggravates my asthma.

Oh no.

never told me that.
Have you got a puffer?
- No.
- Shit, Heather.
You should have a puffer
if you're asthmatic.
This is dangerous.
You could die.
We should get you to
a hospital right now,
grab yourjacket

smoke in your room?
- Yeah, sure.

See?

Thought it was an R.
It's a bit like how you
thought you had asthma
but it was just a
bit of a tickly cough

take it out on the cheddar.
- Be thankful that's all
she's taking it out on.
Let's not pretend it's
been a normal day.
- Yeah all right.
- Rosalind Devlin.
- What about her?
- She wasn't wearing a bra.
What, you didn't notice?
- Did I notice that
the teenager sister of?
A murdered kid
wasn't wearing a bra?
How fucking dark
do you think I am?

I'm am that fucking dark.
She wasn't wearing a bra.
And those clothes.

- What are you thinking?
Are you changing your
mind about passing on it?
K swans)
- O'Kelly wanted me to come.
Report straight back to
him if it's, you know.
=lFmW
Nice that he let you
out of the building.
- He wants Cooper to
tell him I puked up
so he can laugh at me.
He's a bastard.
- Just breathe through
your mouth quickly.
- So, stomach contents.
A meal consisting
of beans on toast.
Classic dish, I enjoy it myself.
Advanced digestive process,
so eaten a good five
hours before death.
And a chocolate biscuit,
initial digestive process.
- So her killer could've
given it to her then?
- Or she could've taken
it from her house,
a snack for the walk.
Even I have a biscuit tin.
So, two blows with an object
of considerable weight.
The first grazes the
right hand side of
the back of her skull,
second blow is more forceful,
landing just behind
and above the left ear.
A lot of blood, though
neither blow were enough to...
Are you going to vomit,
Detective Quigley?
- All right, so what
did kill her then?
- This is what killed her.
Some material,
probably a plastic bag,
was placed over her head,
twisted the top of the spine
and held it in place.
Particular haemorrhage
to the eyes
and surface of the
lungs means that I can
comfortably assert
that the cause of death
was suffocation, complicated
by blunt force trauma.
Though there is a
time lapse between
the trauma to the head
and the suffocation,
perhaps about an
hour and a half,
during which time she was
undoubtedly still living.
- Did she know it was happening?
- Abrasions to the
knees, hip, elbows
are consistent with struggle.
There's also bruising
and tooth marks
on the inside of her mouth,
consistent with the
perpetrator pressing
a hand over her mouth.
No secondary Iividity, so
the position she was found in
was the position
she was kept in.
Time of death I would
say between midnight
and 2 a.m. on the
24th of August 2006,
meaning that she was
kept somewhere sheltered
before being carried into
the woods to be discovered
at 7:45 a.m. on the
25th of August 2006.
- She wasn't raped?
No sign of any violation?
- No.
The child in that respect
at least is untouched.
She'll be ready for
formal identification
later this morning.
- I'll ring O'Kelly.
- Oh sweetheart.
Your little feet.
