Redemption

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
