but appeasement

is a dangerous thing.

LIAM:
These are

longstanding issues.

That if addressed now,

would smack of appeasement.

I need something, Kate.

The newer members

haven't lived the bloodshed,

and are easily swayed.

I'm trying to

hold this together.

A gesture is all.

It would make a difference.

I'll consider it.

But I want something first.

Something real.

Understood.

Hello?

(SIZZLING)

We're closed.

We open at 12:
00.

Uh, we're looking for the

owner, a Mr. Quin Minh?

Quan.

Upstairs.

LEVETT:
They were found

on site,

not far from

your daughter's body.

Can you positively

identify them as hers?

Who did this?

I don't know, sir.

We don't know,

but we're going to

find out.

Why my daughter?

Is there someone we can call to

come and be with you, Mr. Quan?

I have no more family.

These bombers,

will you catch them?

Yes.

Will they get punished?

BARRIE:
Yes,

they certainly will.

LEVETT:

We'll let ourselves out.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(VOICES ECHOING)

Ah, good morning, Hugh.

Thanks for coming.

Been a long time, Liam.

It's been

a long time, indeed.

Go on,

take a chair, there.

MAN:
All right, Hugh?

Now, that we're all here,

does anyone know

who this Authentic IRA is?

Are they even part of

the IRA?

Some new upstarts, or

something else entirely? Hmm?

They're trying to

undermine everything

we've achieved

over the last 19 years.

Well, I won't have it.

They don't have the support of the

people who said no to the violence.

Our mandate's to uphold

that choice

and maintain the Peace

Accord, no matter what.

Are we in agreement?

There's a lot of support for their

actions amongst the younger ranks.

Hotheads.

Hotheads who don't remember,

or know any better.

You were once one of

those hotheads, Liam.

Aye. Long ago, when it was the

only way. And what did it give us?

More graves

than I care to remember.

This bombing rivals Omagh

with its civilian deaths.

It's unacceptable,

anytime, anywhere!

And do you think the

bombers come from our ranks?

The Brits ID'd the explosive.

Czech-made Semtex

from our dumps.

(ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES) They

also used our code word.

Which means they have a

contact in our command.

Maybe someone in this room.

They're trying to divide us,

put the Brits back

on the streets again,

stir up the troubles

all over again.

Well, I won't have it!

I want a complete check of all

the arms dumps here and abroad,

everything verified, guns,

Semtex, the whole f***in' lot.

Jesus, you can't be serious.

Never been more so, Patty.

We check 'em,

and if something's missing,

we trace it back to those

who knew the location.

And then we deal

with this internally.

Unless someone here's got
