OK.

What a f***ing mess.

Thanks for

coming by, Barry.

Talk later.

What was all that with Delavine earlier?

Are you feeling left out, Mac?

- So you're working another angle?

- No.

Relax, we're all on the same side.

- Can I speak to Declan?

- Hold the line.

Yeah, this is Declan.

Is he dead?

He's in the hospital,

but it's not looking good.

He came in when I was talking to you.

- Did he hear you?

- Aye.

OK, we'll deal with it.

If he's alive, that's it.

I said we'll deal with it.

Right, right.

Kevin.

We need to talk.

- Aye.

- Now.

Have a seat there for yourself, Collette.

Do you want a coffee?

Be grand.

When did you first hear

about the operation, Collette?

- This morning in the car.

- In the car this morning?

- Aye.

- Are you sure about that?

Aye.

- No mention of it before then?

- No.

- Connor drop you a few hints?

- No.

We were going to take out the guy

who tried to put you away?

No.

See, it's like this, Collette.

Only two men knew

the time and the place, right?

And it's hardly our Gerry squealing

to the Brits.

So, is it his shaggy-haired brother?

Or did he blab his fat mouth off

to his sister?

We lose you in London,

but then you're back

like nothing ever happened.

Then the peelers bash in

your Ma's door,

haul you off to Castlereagh.

But you're back by lea time,

like nothing ever happened.

Sure they knew

I'd been away for a while.

- Who?

- A man. An English fella.

- What was his name?

- Jenkins.

- MI5?

- Probably, aye.

What did he want?

- Where was I? What had I been doing?

- Mmm.

What did you say?

I said I was visiting my auntie

in the south.

Without your son?

I told him I was going with a fella there.

- Which one asked you about it all, now?

- Mac.

Who's Mac?

You said his name was Jenkins.

Well, Mac Jenkins, that's his name.

So you were friendly then, hmm?

First name terms and all that.

You're red-lighted, Collette McVeigh.

Don't leave Belfast. We're not done yet.

- Where is he?

- He's making his excuses to our Lord.

So sad, isn't it?

He said he wants to talk

to Collette again.

That's not right, Gerry.

You need to tell Kevin to back off.

After what's just happened,

he'll need to talk to her again.

What do you mean?

Just heard from the hospital.

Brendan's dead.

Christ.

Did you kill him?

- Did you f***ing kill him?

- Calm down.

No.

Were you going to?

Were you going to?

Kevin knows. He's red-lighted me.

No, he doesn't.

It's his job to make you think he knows.

Well, he's brilliant at it then.

You said, "Nobody dies,

- "nobody gets hurt".

- Collette!

Collette, love.

F***ing loads of them.

Do you want to talk to these guys?

I'll do the talking, OK? Yeah?
