This is dangerous, Siobhan.
If you're spotted meeting me like this, you're dead.
Yeah, fuck it. Let's whack the fucker.
I got him. He went down. Bang bang, two shots in the back.
Well he must've been wearing a bleedin' vest.

It was Nidge he threw the pipe bomb.
I'm gonna kill him.

They wouldn't expect it to come from one of their own.
I'm not using a junkie.
There's one or two that's off the gear could do it.
What about Fran?
Yeah, I'm on it.

AGH!
You fuckin' dirt bird.
Sore?
You should see the other fella.
I'm not questioning you Cig.
That's exactly what you're doing Terry.
You think it's a waste of time unless we've got full surveillance on him?
I'm not saying that. What then?
It's like he's getting away with it. You know what I mean?
Why are we following him if we don't know dick?
Put the fuckin' resources where they can impact.
Like where? I don't know.
Terry. Yes Cig.
Got a sec?
Sit down there.
I want Nidge to think it's business as usual.
But he's not going hands on.
I fuckin' know that.
This is a long term operation.
You don't know every part of it.
Understand Terry?
Sorry Cig.
So think sometimes before opening your fuckin' mouth over there.
He's in the back, is he Janet?
He is, hun.
How'd it go?
Alright.
Where is it now?
Want a beer, hun? Cheers Janet.
I'll have one too.
Where?
I have it up at this city horse farm I do go to.
Under a pile of horse shit.
Is there many up there? No.
A few I know but it's quiet.
Any strangers up there and they'll be spotted.
We might bring the Dean fella up there.
Thanks.
Will you be finished with my phone any time soon?
Yeah, go on Janet. Thanks.

Beside the garage. You know the one?

Run round there and get a pizza, will ya.
What sort of pizza?
Ham and pineapple.
Yeah? Yeah.
Gonna hit the road, right.

Feel like a dope.
Come in.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry Donna. I was completely out of order.
You fuckin' were, Siobhan. I'm only trying to help you.
My head's fucked up because of Tommy and all that shit.
I don't know.
Do you know what I mean?
It's alright, chicken.
Come 'ere to me.
Is that you?
D'ya not want any?
Are you right? Yeah.

Here she is now.
How's it goin'?
It's kinda fucked up.
Do you want one?
No, I gave them up.
I got your text with the photographs.
Do you know all of them?
Most of them.
If there's any you don't know, ask me.
So how's it goin' with Paulie?
That's what's fucked up.
It's kind of fun.
Are you in love with him?
What?
That.
What? That. In love.
Sounds stupid.
In love.
You're involved with him romantically Siobhan,
so maybe you might think if you feel close to him,
that you could share any of this with him.
That would be a serious mistake.
I'm not stupid.
Cos he'd have you killed in a second Siobhan.
He wouldn't even think about it.
I know.
If it's any use to you, Elmo was over meeting him today.
Elmo?
Yeah.
Fuck it.
I can't relax.
You want to leave it?
No. Let me just check on the kids.
What the fuck now?
Hello. Just a second.
Hello. < Hello, this is Mountjoy Jail.
Yeah.
< Can I speak to Aidan please?
Aido? < Yes.
No, he's not here. < Will he be back soon?
No-one ever rings him on this number. < I have a bit of news for him.
Did you try his mobile?
< It's about his brother. He's in the infirmary here in Mountjoy.
< He's lost an eye in an altercation.
What?!
Feel sorry for the poor fuck.
He was only doin' what he was told.
Nadine.
Aido.
Did the prison not get through to you?
What the fuck? What is it Nadine?
Aido.
Get the fuck off me.
Aido, get off him. Get off.
This prick Fran is dangerous, Aido.
That's why he needs to be got. For Pottsie's sake, understand?
I'll pay him for the eye. Okay Aido?
I'll pay him for the eye. Fuckin' Fran.
Are you gonna shoot this Dean fuck?
I wanna talk to him first.
I'll do him now if you want me to.
No, we need to use him to get to Fran. Understand?
We need to do that for Pottsie. Don't we? Yeah?
You go on home.
If I went up now would they let me in, do you think?
I don't know Aido. Leave it till the morning.
Have a shave, go in first thing.
Fuckin' foreign security they have on in the middle of the night there.
Alright?
Good man. Go on.
Jesus, you gave me a fright.
Are you alright?
You're shakin'.
Yeah, I thought you were a..
I don't know. I thought you were a..
I let your friend go.
Was that alright? Donna. Yeah.
It was a bit weird, you know what I mean?
The two of us, sitting there.
Then I came into the bedroom and I said you might as well head on.
Sure the little fella knows me at this stage, doesn't he.
No.
I gave you a bit of a fright, did I?
I went down to see Tommy in the hospital.
They let you in at this hour, do they?
Yeah. He's a special case. They know me in there now.
I don't have to stay if you don't want me to.
I can head off.
I don't want to be in the way. D'ya know what I mean?
Would you mind if I was on my own tonight?
No.
Whatever you want.
I just want to sleep in the bed with Leighton.
Yeah.
That prick Fran put out Aido's brother's eye today, you know that?
Prick has you goin' round looking to get a contract out on me.
There's a silage pit out the back of here full of horses' piss and shite.
We're gonna fuck you into it now.
Come on, grab him there.
You have one chance to get out of this.
I don't give a bollocks either way.
So do you have anything for me?
A way I can get to Fran.
Yeah.
What's that?
Yeah.
Yeah, you have something for me?
Noely Hughes.
He's inside.
Noely Hughes, don't know him. Who is he?
Noely that knocked out Fran's teeth.
He knocked his teeth out. So fuckin' what.
After Noely done that, Fran..
Fran dug up Noely's ma.
And he pissed on the grave.
He what?
