Ordinary Decent Criminal Page #3

Synopsis: Michael Lynch is Dublin's most notorious criminal, his brazen robberies making him the bane of the Gardaí and a hero to his fellow working class city Northsiders. When not playing happy families with his two wives - sisters Christine and Lisa - and his children, Lynch is busy plotting elaborate heists, thinking as much about the showmanship of it all as he is the loot involved. On his case is Garda Noel Quigley, his determination to convict Lynch slowly turning into an obsession. Inevitably, a showdown looms.

And I made him promise...

that no-one could ever take

our homes away from us again.

And the Mayor said...

Yes, I promise!

So, I graciously

accepted their offer.

I won. I beat them all.

The bailiff and the Mayor

and the law.

I was loyal.

And that's why I won.

You see, the thing is...

they'll never beat you...

if you stick together

and stay loyal.

Are they asleep?

It's time

for the tickle man.

See you tomorrow.

'Night.

Hiya, Michael.

Hey, Shaun.

You're late.

Sorry, bedtime stories.

God! The Mansions again.

I bet that put 'em to sleep.

Christine asked me to ask you

would you mind looking

after Tom and Shane tomorrow.

She has to go into town to

get Breda her first communion gear.

No problem.

Are you ready for this?

Oh yeah.

I missed you.

F*** them! Don't answer!

No, gotta call Billy,

tell him what's happening.

Jesus! F*** 'em!

Who was with you at the bank?

It was Stevie.

No, no. Did Stevie drive the car?

Stevie drove the car, right?

That's right.

And Tony Brady was with you, yeah?

You see,

we know what you did, Lynch,

doing jobs

while you're out on bail.

And we have proof boy.

All you have to do is say,

''Yes, that's just the way it was''.

You drove to the courts

on a motorbike

and then you switched

at the last moment, right?

Fifteen minutes,

that's easy on a bike, Lynch.

Give us an answer,

you f***ing gobshite!

All right, Con. Take it easy.

Shall we start all over again,

shall we?

You weren't with either of

your two wives Monday night

we know that much.

So, Michael, if you weren't

with the two ugly sisters

don't tell me you were off

banging some other old slag?

I realize you're not a golfing man,

Detective Sergeant

but...

the Association of Inspectors

and Superintendents Annual

Four Ball

had to be cancelled today.

Now, why do you think

it had to be cancelled?

Well, I did mention to you, sir,

that things like this usually

happen when we try to inter...

Don't be the smart Alec with me,

Noel.

I haev to tell you,

there's a lot of very unhappy

golfers here today.

This is vital rest and recreation

for senior officers.

Do you understand the importance

of this, Detective Sergeant?

Well I do now, sir.

Are you trying to tell me

''I told you so''?

I'll tell you someting,

Detective Sergeant...

I will not have

the reputation of the Garda...

brought into disrepute

by these shenanigans.

We will not be intimidated

by the likes of Michael Lynch.

Are you listening to me now?

Christine wasn't upset, was she?

No, no, she's fine.

You see, every time

you go out on the road

there's dangers out there

bits of glass lying in wait nails,

pot-holes.
