'What?'

I said, my son's been murdered.

Are you still there?

'Yeah, OK... Er,

I'll let them know.'

Thanks.

I'd really appreciate that.

'Yeah, OK, sure.'

Thanks. 'I'm really sor...'

Thanks. Bye.

Er, Margaret Ward,

Detective Inspector Hastings.

I'm very sorry, Mrs Ward.

Thanks. We'll do all we can

to get these people.

People?

Yes.

More than one, then?

We think so.

You've got a daughter.

Nicola.

Yes.

We were at school together.

I stayed in your house

loads of times.

Margaret...Devaney.

Then, yeah.

Otherwise

known as Roger the Lodger.

Yeah!

How is she? Great. Married?

Yeah. Three kids.

Boy of 18 and two...

It's OK.

Two daughters. 13 and 14.

Lovely.

We'll get them, Margaret.

I'm sorry about this, Johnjo.

I'm really sorry, mate.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

You were going there to get him,

weren't you?

Yeah. Not the lad who died.

But, yeah, someone, yeah.

Nothing to do with pizzas at all.

No. And the others,

they knew, didn't they?

Yeah.

Everyone knew bar me, yeah?

Yeah.

I'm telling you the pizza I want but

it's got nothing to do with pizzas

because you're going there to sort

some little bastard out! Sh, sh, sh...

I'm made up, aren't I? I'm made up

when I get the call.

"Johnjo, come for a pizza with

the big lads. Come for a pizza..."

Shush, mate. "Why don't you drive us

for a pizza, Johnjo?"

But all you're interested in

is the car. The f***ing car!

There's people looking over...

That makes me feel like sh*t, mate,

and so it should, cos... Please, just shut it.

Just f***ing SHUT IT! Cos that's how you've treated me!

Like sh*t! That's how you've treated

me! Listen, we're cousins, right?

If I drop my cousin in sh*t,

I'll get him out of it.

Right?

Yeah, we lied to you, but

you should be grateful,

because you can put your hand on

your heart and say, "I knew nothing.

"I knew absolutely nothing."

And we'll back you up on that.

We'll make sure everyone knows

you're innocent.

I'm innocent, Colin's innocent, but

you're even more innocent. Right?

So, what...so you'll tell them?

If we have to, yeah.

If you have to?! Nobody's been

picked up yet, have they?

As soon as they are, if

they are, we tell Kieran he's got to

cough for it, he's got to tell

the bizzies it was him.

Nobody else had a knife, nobody else

used a knife, least of all you. Right?

You've got nothing to worry about,

Johnjo. Eh?

Can we get them enhanced?

Yeah, we're trying.

This is the best we've got

of the other three.

Uh. Could be anyone.

Hello? DI Hastings here.

Is that you, Margaret?

Yeah. Just letting you know

we're arresting someone soon

and it's significant.

Who? Name again?

O'Shea.
