00:00I'm scared of death, but aren't we all?
00:10What lies on the other side?
00:12Every death forces us to look in the mirror, to think about our own demise.
00:18That's why we need ritual, something which allows the living to move on, letting us bury
00:24the secrets of the dead forever.
00:28But secrets are a funny thing.
00:30They have a way of clawing their way back to the surface.
00:39I think his family will mind us being there.
00:52We hardly knew Dara.
00:53It's not a funeral, Scissor.
00:54It's a wake.
00:55Knowing the deceased isn't necessary.
00:56Getting smashed in their honour is.
00:57Ah, it's a good crack.
00:58I've been to wakes where I barely even knew him.
01:00What the hell?
01:01You think you own the town?
01:02Take a look at the state of the place.
01:03I can't believe this.
01:04Dad, Dara isn't even called yet, and here you are, setting out your wares for a party.
01:05I don't know what you're talking about, Scissor.
01:06It's not a funeral, Scissor.
01:07It's a wake.
01:08Knowing the deceased isn't necessary.
01:09Getting smashed in their honour is.
01:10Ah, it's a good crack.
01:11I've been to wakes where I barely even knew him.
01:12I don't know what you're talking about, Scissor.
01:13It's a wake.
01:14I don't know what you're talking about, Scissor.
01:15It's a wake.
01:16It's a wake.
01:17It's a wake.
01:18It's a wake.
01:19It's a wake.
01:20It's a wake.
01:21Take a look at the state of the place.
01:24I can't believe this.
01:25Dad, Dara isn't even called yet, and here you are, setting out your wares for a party.
01:30Is he okay?
01:31You have yet no respect.
01:32A man is dead, and you're preparing some cheap disco.
01:37Dara gave this festival his full blessing and a signed contract.
01:41Unlike some people, he could see what we're trying to do here.
01:44To bring this town together for something positive.
01:46You lanky wanker.
01:47I ought to rip your fucking tongue out.
01:48Try it.
01:49Try it. I'll sue you till you can't even afford to breathe.
01:51Seamus, relax.
01:57Fuck you, shitpants.
02:07Fucking is changing, Seamus.
02:09The future's gonna happen, whether you like it or not.
02:13Back to work now. Chop, chop.
02:17You're right, Gilbert.
02:19He is a really nice guy.
02:28Would you look at all this nonsense?
02:30It's a lot of fuss.
02:32The last Samhain festival ended in disaster.
02:34Not to mention the vandalism and wanton destruction of property
02:37in the city.
02:39Not to mention the vandalism and wanton destruction of property
02:42that took place.
02:44As head of the Samhain Safety Committee,
02:46I assumed your podcast would be very interested
02:48in hearing our perspective on it.
02:50I'd rather listen to fucking paint dry.
02:56I'm so sorry. Thanks for coming.
02:58Make yourself a cup of tea.
03:02Jesus, the lungs on her.
03:05Who are they?
03:06Dara's two sisters, down from Mayo.
03:08The place is theirs now.
03:10Looking to get a pretty penny for it.
03:12It sure is OK to just turn up like this.
03:14Dara's family are in mourning.
03:16Exactly. So they're throwing a three-day party
03:18to cheer themselves up.
03:20Besides, the badger's in there.
03:22He and I need to have a little chat.
03:24I'll talk to Seamus, all right?
03:26You'll just scare him off.
03:28For all we know, he's been living a perfectly innocent life all this time.
03:31Men like him don't change.
03:33Think about it. I get run over.
03:35Sean's car is set on fire, and now Dara's accident.
03:37You really think he was murdered?
03:39Let's not jump to conclusions, all right?
03:41Our job is to ask questions, not to make wild assumptions.
03:44OK.
03:51Sorry for your loss. Sorry for your loss.
04:08MUSIC PLAYS
04:28Do you like the make-up?
04:30Did it myself.
04:32Are you the undertaker or something?
04:34I am, actually.
04:36Mary Donovan.
04:38Donovan and Sons Funeral Home.
04:40Sons?
04:42My brothers were more squeamish than anticipated.
04:44And you are?
04:46Dove.
04:48I'm curious, was there an autopsy on Dara's body?
04:50You only carry out an autopsy when the death is suspicious,
04:52which Dara's was not.
04:54Poor man just tripped and hit his head.
04:56How can you be so sure?
04:58Angle of the fall, depth of the wound,
05:00a blood-alcohol level that could strip the paint.
05:02On behalf of the family,
05:04I thank you all for coming to pay your respects.
05:06An annam náir, si bhfid agus an spiritu níob.
05:10Hail Mary, the Lord is with thee.
05:12Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
05:14Holy Mary, Mother of God,
05:16present sins, thou hast outdone us.
05:18Hail Mary, full of grace,
05:20the Lord is with thee.
05:22Blessed art thou amongst women
05:24and blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
05:26Holy Mary, Mother of God,
05:28present sins, thou hast outdone us.
05:30Hail Mary, full of grace,
05:32In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
05:35Amen.
05:37Amen.
05:39Amen.
05:41Amen.
05:43Amen.
05:45Amen.
05:47Amen.
05:49Amen.
05:51Amen.
05:53Amen.
05:55Amen.
05:57Amen.
05:59Amen.
06:01It's called the Second Name.
06:06Thought so.
06:08You ought to be ashamed of yourself for picking over honest people's grief like a vulture.
06:13I'm a journalist.
06:15Of course you are.
06:17I know it's fun for you city folk to come down here and gobble it.
06:21But our lives aren't fodder for your entertainment.
06:24Well, you seem pretty interested in me.
06:26Well, now, I might have an interesting story for you.
06:29Let's say I work for the British government
06:33and I want to whistleblow about a bunch of data breaches
06:36in the healthcare system.
06:37So I tell my story to a journalist
06:41who promises me all sorts of anonymity.
06:44Somehow on the very day said journalist publishes her story,
06:48my name is leaked and my life is turned upside down.
06:54Well, I just might end up killing myself.
06:57All because of this journalist's glaring incompetence.
07:04You want to be careful gawping,
07:06you never know who'll gawp back.
07:11Mmm, nice sausages, mind.
07:22The Rolling Stones are the best band ever.
07:27Wild horses, think about it.
07:29Wild horses, doesn't get any better.
07:31How's it like?
07:32You can't go wrong with the Stones.
07:33I don't know why they try to make new songs anymore.
07:50You look very relaxed for a man
07:52who's up to his ears in debt.
07:54This isn't really the time or the place to be.
07:57I'm fucking with you, relax.
08:00It's a party, no money talk.
08:04What is she talking about?
08:06Nothing, nothing.
08:08So were you close with Dara?
08:12No, not really.
08:13We had a few business dealings over the years.
08:15Okay, and was he friends with Malachy?
08:18Who?
08:19Malachy, the guy who disappeared on sound.
08:22I didn't know him.
08:24What about you?
08:25What were you doing on sound?
08:26Sounds like it was a pretty crazy night.
08:28I wouldn't know, I missed the entire thing.
08:31I gave my pal Greta a lift to Dublin that night,
08:33but by the time I got back, it was all over.
08:36Yeah.
08:39All right, I'm going in.
08:41I'm gonna see what I can tease out about Dara and Malachy.
08:44Great, I'll try to see if I can find anything too.
08:46All right.
08:55For fuck's sake.
09:02Can offer you a real drink if you're interested.
09:12Homemade pudgy?
09:14Guarantee it's changed any mood.
09:16For better or worse.
09:18It's good stuff, I make it in the bathtub.
09:21Yeah, I don't think going blind will cheer me up.
09:25Find your own drink then, if you're so chicken shit.
09:34Jesus fucking hell.
09:35I ate it with formaldehyde,
09:37it adds character if you know what I mean.
09:42You're some easy mark, do you know that?
09:51That's the spirit.
09:55Jesus, why are the sexy ones always so moody?
10:17That should do it.
10:19He was as sweet as an angel, was Dara.
10:22Never a bad word for anyone.
10:26I spent months trying to shift Dara,
10:28but he said that he wanted to wait until he was married,
10:31so I married Tommy here.
10:34Now, it's Tommy I had the opposite problem.
10:36He's like a rabbit.
10:40Dara used to be quite devout,
10:41but he never attended mass again after his spell away.
10:44I thought he never left the farm.
10:47Well, it's a long time ago now.
10:49You know where he went?
10:51You know yourself.
10:53A nod is as good as a wink to a blind man, huh?
10:57Is that head-noshy, I see, Dara?
11:01You're kind of interesting, aren't you?
11:05I've been called worse.
11:07Yeah, I bet.
11:11Tried you one for one.
11:17Right, you go first.
11:25I traded Bodkin for London.
11:28Small town, big dreams, and a love fell out of love.
11:34Turns out I'm better at handling dead ones than live ones,
11:36so I came home.
11:38There are plenty of dead ones in London.
11:40Yeah, but not so many wakes.
11:42Where would I meet anyone new?
11:47You know, normally people who take themselves so seriously
11:49are kind of a pain in the ass, but on you it is kind of cute.
11:56You're drunk.
11:59Yeah, well, I'd want to be.
12:01This stuff is about 90% proof.
12:08Can we go to the chase?
12:12PHONE VIBRATES
12:13I won't.
12:14PHONE VIBRATES
12:16Excuse me.
12:17PHONE VIBRATES
12:19Damien.
12:23Bye, then.
12:25He's the fucking badger, Damien.
12:27An infamous smuggler, missing slash presumed dead,
12:29living all this time, getting a bloody bug.
12:31This could be huge. Stop. Stop.
12:33What? I haven't even told you the best bit.
12:35I mean it. Stop. Breathe.
12:37Don't tell me to breathe, Damien. I'm always fucking breathing.
12:40They got a warrant to search your flat.
12:42They found Kurtek's laptop.
12:44Now, the Home Office think that you stole it.
12:47They are launching a formal investigation against you.
12:52That's bullshit. I didn't steal it.
12:53He asked me to mine it at standard practice.
12:55No, Deb, it's not. It's government property.
13:00The guy who was scared shitless, he came to me asking for help.
13:02What was I supposed to do?
13:03You were supposed to tell me,
13:04so this wouldn't hit me like a fucking train.
13:06Damien, you know this is bullshit.
13:09They're punishing me for breaking the story.
13:11I mean, they're the ones that fucking leaked his name.
13:13I think you need to come home.
13:16Oh, no, you want me home.
13:18I found a story here, an actual story,
13:20and you want me home to defend myself against faceless bureaucrats
13:23who've got their knickers in a twist? No, not a chance.
13:26Deb, it's serious.
13:28Of course it's fucking serious, so I need you to step up,
13:30vouch for me.
13:31Tell them I mentioned it here at the time.
13:33Lie for you, you mean?
13:35You're meant to protect me, Damien.
13:39You really think there's a story in this badger thing?
13:41100%.
13:44Keep on it, then. I'll see what I can do from here.
13:51Fuck.
14:11♪ We all are a ramblin' man
14:14♪ We all are a ramblin', a ramblin' man
14:22Do you, uh, know Darragh well?
14:26Well as you can know anyone, I suppose.
14:30Seems like he was a good man.
14:32He was, he was.
14:34Good friend.
14:36Helped me out a lot.
14:38He was...
14:39He was good to my brother.
14:42Does your brother ever...
14:43You know that Dove woman?
14:45Uh, what about her?
14:47I mean, she's a fiercely irritating individual.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Can't argue with you there.
14:52The type of woman that'd start a fight in an empty room.
14:54Yeah. She's, uh, very driven.
14:56Let me see.
14:58I had a different word.
15:02Would you excuse me a moment?
15:04Why don't you grab us some drinks?
15:07♪ We all are a ramblin', a ramblin' man
15:09♪ We all are a ramblin', a ramblin' man
15:11I heard them lads having a missing and stowin'
15:13and their arms and legs chopped off.
15:15Hey, you wanna come round mine later?
15:17I've got a big secret I could show you.
15:19Oh, get the fuck out of here, will you?
15:21It's a bunch of inbred scobes.
15:23I was in the middle of something.
15:25They don't know shit.
15:27Just a bunch of cowboys looking for the ride.
15:29Does that make you?
15:31I'm the horse whisperer, darling.
15:33Does that line ever work?
15:35Sometimes. You'd be surprised.
15:37Really would.
15:39Don't lump me in with those culties, though.
15:41I'm better than this lot here. I'm made for more.
15:43Like what?
15:45More than anyone here could imagine.
15:47I've already survived an orphanage.
15:49Nobody knows what I've been through.
15:51I don't belong here. Do you know what I mean?
15:53I actually do, yeah.
15:59If you fancy, we can jump in the back of my car
16:01and search together.
16:03I was joking.
16:05It was a joke, obviously.
16:07We can jump in the front.
16:09What are you doing?
16:11My job.
16:19Shall I come with you?
16:21No.
16:29Having fun, pet?
16:31Lights.
16:37I wasn't sure how much milk you took.
16:39I hope it's OK.
16:41No, that's perfect.
16:43I'd murder a cup of tea.
16:45Excuse me.
16:47Hi, there. I'm Emmy.
16:49I just wondered if I could talk to you about the...
16:51So, this podcast of yours,
16:53it's about song, right?
16:55The disappearances?
16:57Yes, but it's about the town, too.
16:59We just want to talk with people, see where the story takes us.
17:01Good luck getting any sense
17:03out of anyone in this town.
17:05Claire, where are you?
17:07Are you open PA, guys?
17:09Please hold back. Our bog-standard
17:11top 40 shite.
17:13That's what your taste in music is, shite.
17:15And they should be flushed down the toilet where they belong.
17:17Well, you should flush yourself down after them
17:19because you're full of it, shite.
17:21Here, hold that. You want more of this?
17:23Drink?
17:25You're a lovely man.
17:27You know,
17:29so many people have said such kind things
17:31about Tara.
17:33Thank you.
17:35You know, it's funny
17:37because he told me that he never left this place
17:39but then I was hearing about a time
17:41that he did leave town.
17:45We should have a word. In private.
17:47Of course.
17:49Sorry if I was rude earlier.
17:51Sometimes this place
17:53makes me so mad I forget where I came back.
18:01I imagine Balkan's a bit of a culture shock
18:03for you.
18:05You don't know anything about me.
18:15Hello.
18:17I'm Fintan.
18:19Sorry for being a dick just then.
18:21You seem cool and interesting
18:23and I'd like to talk to you.
18:25And hopefully we can have a full conversation
18:27before you realise how painfully
18:29socially awkward I am.
18:31Good pivot.
18:33That's the first law of tech. Interpret the data
18:35and adapt.
18:37Nicely done.
18:51Like you have your ups and downs
18:53with family but
18:55at the end of the day they're your own flesh and blood.
18:57You don't want anyone to be thinking
18:59ill of them. Yeah, of course.
19:01We wouldn't want to upset either
19:03you or your sister in your hour
19:05of grief. The last thing the family wants
19:07is for Tara to be remembered for his mistakes.
19:09Yeah, of course.
19:11No point dragging it over the coals now.
19:13Thank you.
19:15I mean, we were war-tified
19:17when he was sent to prison
19:19but then he comes back with that boy
19:21Malachy in tow.
19:23Nothing was ever the same again.
19:25Yeah, Dara and Malachy
19:27met in prison.
19:29Yeah.
19:31I could never understand it.
19:33Dara thought the world of him.
19:35He was heartbroken when Malachy
19:37disappeared.
19:39I tried to comfort him but
19:41he never really listened to me.
19:43She always confided in Alice.
19:45Oh, but I
19:47loved him so much.
19:49Of course you did.
19:51Of course.
20:17For a penny?
20:47So, what do you remember
20:49of Samhain?
20:51I, uh...
20:53I saw
20:55Jackie Lantern.
20:57Who?
20:59He's this mythic blacksmith who's doomed to wander the earth
21:01for eternity.
21:03When we were kids, we'd dare each other to go up to the Bog Lake
21:05on Samhain because that's where Jackie Lantern turns up.
21:07And?
21:09Well,
21:11I'll be honest,
21:13I was 14 at the time and
21:15I'd recently discovered magic mushrooms
21:17and I was trying to show off to a girl
21:19so I took shrooms
21:21and ended up there.
21:23And you saw him?
21:25I saw a huge, hulking,
21:27hideous monster emerging
21:29from the bog on Samhain.
21:31You're making this up.
21:33I'm not. I swear.
21:39Nice view.
21:41All I see is shit.
21:43Fields and fields
21:45of shit.
21:47Besides, every second here
21:49is another moment away from my poor, sick
21:51Morris.
21:53He has the cancer, you know.
21:57How long have you been married?
21:59Morris is my cat.
22:05No one understands,
22:07do they?
22:09You know how much our cats mean to us.
22:11Do you have a cat?
22:13Oh, yeah.
22:15Two.
22:17What breed are they?
22:19They're, uh,
22:21Strays is the best way to
22:23describe it.
22:25I got them from our rescue.
22:29Good man.
22:35So, Dot mentioned how
22:37heartbroken Dara was when Malachy
22:39went missing. They must have been
22:41great friends.
22:43Friends? That's one word for it,
22:45I suppose.
22:47What do you mean?
22:49Don't be daft. Poor Dara obviously
22:51dug with the other foot.
22:55Were they together?
22:57Hardly.
22:59Malachy never seemed to return my brother's
23:01feelings, but he did exploit them.
23:03Malachy kept Dara on a short leash.
23:05Made him rent that land to him
23:07for years for next to nothing.
23:09Everyone could see it but Dara,
23:11the great big eejit.
23:13Then Malachy disappeared, and his brother
23:15just waltzed into town, took over the lease
23:17at the same rate.
23:19He let those two good-for-nothing
23:21brothers just take advantage of him.
23:23So, Malachy had a brother?
23:25Of course.
23:27Weren't you talking to him earlier?
23:29It's James Gellar.
23:31Oh.
23:37♪
24:07♪
24:23And then the devil gave Jackie a hot coal
24:25and a turnip. That's why you carve
24:27pumpkins on Halloween.
24:29You think the devil gave you something more useful?
24:31Like a car?
24:33Um, so,
24:35what did he look like?
24:37Who? Jackie Lanton.
24:39Oh.
24:41Very big.
24:43Very frightening.
24:45Only the bravest of boys can look at him.
24:47And that's you, is it?
24:49It's a blessing and a curse.
24:51You know, I haven't thought about that night
24:53in so long. God, I...
24:55I think there was some sort of a car crash
24:57that night, too. Where?
24:59I didn't, uh...
25:01I didn't, uh, see it.
25:03I-I just heard this
25:05screeching and then a huge
25:07crash and then this
25:09blood-curdling scream over near the Casement Road.
25:11But when I finally
25:13got over there, there was no sign
25:15of a crash at all.
25:17Nothing.
25:19But that's when I saw Jackie.
25:21Out in the distance.
25:23Coming out of the bog lake.
25:25And what did Jackie do?
25:27Honestly?
25:29I don't know.
25:31I ran away.
25:33But only for very impressive and manly
25:35reasons.
25:37That's so brave.
25:39Bravest.
25:59Yeah, Gilbert.
26:01Such a nice guy.
26:03Then you hear some
26:05tech bros in town and
26:07you imagine someone, um...
26:09Someone...
26:11A bit cooler than you?
26:13You're mean.
26:15I'm just interpreting the data.
26:17Have you seen Dev?
26:19She left. Left for where?
26:21Incredible as it is to believe, she didn't talk
26:23through her plans with me.
26:25I don't know.
26:27She didn't talk through her plans with me.
26:29Do you mind?
26:31Thank you.
26:33Um, but listen.
26:35You have to hear this, okay?
26:37Fenton saw something on the night of Samhain.
26:39Saw what?
26:41He heard a car crash outside of town and a scream.
26:43Then saw a mythical blacksmith
26:45from Irish folklore coming out of a bog.
26:47Okay, well, get it on tape. Maybe it'll add to the general mood.
26:49You said you wanted
26:51folk tales.
26:53Text me if you see Dev.
26:57Okay.
26:59All good?
27:01Mm-hmm.
27:03Just a thought.
27:05You wanna change your scenery?
27:07You need to ask permission?
27:09No.
27:11Let's go.
27:27♪♪♪
27:29♪♪♪
27:31Don't stop thinking about tomorrow Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
27:59Don't stop, you'll still be here It'll be here, better than before
28:07The answer is God, the answer is God
28:11Right lads, I don't need to tell you how important it is to protect the goods, yeah?
28:36Yep
28:49Fuck off
28:59Nice ride
29:01You're not going to believe what I found out
29:03You're not going to believe what I found out
29:16Seamus and Malachy were brothers?
29:18Yes
29:20Okay, but why would they come here and rent Dara's land?
29:23Well the coastline is incredibly difficult to police, it's a perfect haven for smugglers
29:27We're on to something Gilbert, I'm telling you
29:30So what does it mean that Seamus wanted to marry Fiona?
29:32It's Shakespeare
29:34Two brothers smuggling drugs, fighting for control of their empire
29:37Malachy steals Seamus' fiancé, so Seamus kills both of them
29:41Okay, but what about Teddy? Why'd he go missing?
29:44I don't know, he was probably wanking in the woods for three days
29:47Teenage boys are gross
29:49A smuggler murders family, that's the story
29:56Cilantro
29:59The entire thing will be 100% renewable
30:03A vertical farm, 250 well-paying jobs
30:06You trying to sell this to me? Because I'm convinced
30:09I'm just excited, the server farm I'm building now is just the beginning
30:13And we can expand into wind farms, geothermal, housing, infrastructure
30:19Balkan 2.0
30:24Curious much?
30:27These are Teddy's, right?
30:29Yeah
30:31You a fan of his work?
30:33In a way
30:37He was a friend, a good friend
30:41Was?
30:42He and I, we had a sort of a rift a long time ago, I'm just trying to help him out
30:48Why would you do that?
30:50The night he disappeared, I...
30:53I was supposed to meet him, but I ditched him for the sake of that girl
30:58He used to be such a smart guy, smarter than me, funny
31:04But after he disappeared, that's how he was
31:07Different
31:09Quiet
31:11Dark
31:14You feel guilty?
31:16I suppose I keep thinking if I'd met him as planned, then maybe he'd be okay
31:24I always struggled to fit in, you know?
31:26I was one of those kids who always seemed to be the butt of the joke
31:29Is that why Seamus called you shitpants?
31:34When I was ten, I shat my pants during a school play
31:39Been my nickname ever since
31:41Say what you like about Balkan, we're a literal people
31:45But not Teddy
31:48He was always loyal
31:51He probably spent the whole night waiting for me to turn up
31:54Hey, what would you have done?
31:58All the shit that happened that night was so long ago
32:03Can we not let it go and move forward?
32:06Just have a little fucking fun
32:09I can try
32:15So, are we doing this?
32:18Doing what?
32:20Fun
32:22Come on
32:44Job, come dance
32:46No, dancing's a weakness
32:49Sorry, you're far too cool to dance
32:52Yeah, precisely
32:53You've read me very well, Gilbert
32:55You hate everything
32:57Sláinte
33:00Come on, you must like something
33:02Tell me one thing you like
33:04Whiskey
33:06Whiskey's a thing, it's not a hobby
33:08Come on, tell me what you like to do
33:11Gilbert, what you've just said is blasphemy
33:13Whiskey is an Irishman's number one hobby
33:16What do you like to do when you're not working?
33:20I write poetry
33:22Long, romantic epics
33:25Filled with lust and desire and heartbreak
33:29Bullshit
33:31I don't know if you've realised this about me yet, Gilbert
33:34But I'm kind of an arsehole
33:36No, I realise what that means
33:38See?
33:40This version of you
33:42Wild Gilbert
33:44It's way more fun than that sunshiny yank I first met
33:47I guess that's as close to a compliment as I can get from you
33:51Boop
34:02It's time to get out of here
34:05Wait, I'll get this
34:15Just the fella I was looking for
34:17Who's that?
34:19The yank here owes me money
34:21He owes you shit
34:23He owes me 8,000 fucking euro
34:25Oh, that a lot of money to you?
34:27I don't care, love
34:32That's my nose, you crazy cunt
34:36Get up, Gilbert
34:38Get up, quick
34:44Oh
34:46Oh
34:48Oh, my God
34:518,000 euro
34:53I know, I know, I can explain
34:55You fucking idiot
34:57I know, I know, it wasn't my finest hour, right?
34:59You've only been here for two minutes
35:01Yeah, it was the first night in the pub
35:03And I, you know, I drank a little bit too much
35:05And then I guess I just tried too hard to ingratiate myself
35:09You give me so much shit for bulldozing in
35:12And then you go and lose 8 grand to a fucking hippie
35:16I'm in real trouble, all right?
35:18I've mortgaged my house
35:20And I borrowed money, a ton of money
35:23Just to keep my company going
35:25Well, Damien says you're the hit maker
35:27No, one hit, I had one fucking hit
35:33And for a moment I was like, oh, everyone's listening to me, right?
35:36And that's when I started the company
35:38And I threw every cent that I had in it
35:42But it's like everything after that has hit the air
35:45Like a fucking lead balloon
35:48Just...
35:52It's like nobody's listening anymore
35:56Fuck
36:08What if I'm a one-hit wonder?
36:13It's not just career
36:15You know, it's like everything is falling apart
36:18Money, debt, things with my wife
36:21It's just not good
36:24I can fix everything, all right?
36:27I can get back to where I belong
36:29I just need this one to work
36:32All right, I need your help
36:37I get it
36:39Everyone's out to get you
36:42And you're just trying to do your job
36:44You're just trying to tell the fucking truth
36:47And they don't want to hear it, they never do
36:52So you do everything, fucking everything
36:57To get the job done
37:03No matter the consequences
37:07Are we talking about the same thing?
37:13I get it
37:30That looks delicious, thank you
37:32What will you be having this morning?
37:35Tea, just tea
37:43How can you eat?
37:45You know, I started drinking a glass of water
37:47Between every pint of Guinness
37:49And it really helps, you should try it
37:52So, what's our game plan?
37:54Oh, go back to bed, sleep forever
37:58We have to go to Dara's funeral
38:01I'd like to dance with her
38:04I'd like to dedicate my hangover to Dara
38:07He'd want me to go back to bed
38:10Oh, Seamus will be there
38:12And you'll need to talk to him
38:18Look, I like the guy
38:21But if he really is the badger
38:23Isn't it dangerous to confront him?
38:25Seamus is the key
38:28You own a big podcast
38:30Catching him will deliver that in spades
38:39I hope I didn't worry you
38:42Well, I'm only just in, actually
38:44You missed a button
38:53Because God has chosen to call our brother Dara
38:56From this life to himself
38:58And to commit his body to the earth
39:00For we are dust, and unto dust we shall return
39:03But the Lord Jesus Christ shall change our mortal bodies
39:06To be like himself in glory
39:08For he is risen, the firstborn from the dead
39:11We commend our brother Dara to the Lord
39:14Go on
39:15So the Lord may embrace him in peace
39:17And raise his body
39:18Nothing worthwhile ever came easy
39:24For our brother Dara, let us pray to the Lord Jesus Christ
39:27Who said, I am the resurrection and the life
39:29Whoever believes in me, I believe even in death
39:31Seamus, wait up
39:32Whoever lives and believes shall never die
39:34Got a minute?
39:35For what?
39:37Wondered if you wanted to talk
39:40Talk?
39:42You know, about Dara
39:47He gets seasick
39:53So may your mercy join him to the angel in heaven
39:55We ask this through Christ our Lord
40:08Hello
40:10I saw you standing here
40:11And I thought it might be worth seeing
40:13If you had reconsidered your interest in our worthy cause
40:16No
40:17Let's go
40:19Sorry
40:22I know you must think we're just a bunch of small town busybodies
40:25But our concerns are genuine
40:27We don't want history to repeat itself
40:30You might be more interested if you knew what happened to Seamus that night
40:34Oh, sorry
40:36What do you mean?
40:38The statue of St. Seamus
40:40In the grotto encasement road
40:42Christ
40:43This is important
40:45At the last Samhain festival, a car crashed into poor St. Seamus
40:48And almost completely destroyed him
40:51That level of violence is totally unacceptable
40:53Did you say car crash?
40:55On the encasement road
40:56Isn't that what I've been trying to tell you?
40:59Daph, wait!
41:04Picton heard a car crash up there
41:06And then saw something, someone walking out of the bog
41:08Maybe Malachy?
41:09Fiona?
41:12Something happened up there that night
41:16Where is this road?
41:20You know in Ireland it was considered bad luck
41:23For a fisherman to learn how to swim
41:25That doesn't seem sensible
41:27Ah well, it is and it isn't
41:31You know, maybe it seemed wrong to tempt fate
41:34Or maybe there was no point in fighting the inevitable
41:41Darragh loved the sea
41:43Told me once he wanted to be cremated and his ashes spread to the waves
41:47He hated the idea of being trapped in a box
41:51His sisters buried him anyway
41:54Mad, isn't it? All the things you think are so important
41:57The next thing you know, you're in a box
42:07You ever, uh, lose anyone close?
42:11Haven't we all?
42:14The big thing for me was my wife
42:19It was cancer
42:21It was bad
42:23And I took the most intimate and difficult parts
42:27From the worst time of my married life
42:30And I shared them with the whole world
42:36Never thought for a second that, you know, how big it would become
42:41Public
42:45People loved it
42:48True love
42:50Not everyone except my wife
42:53She beat the cancer
42:55Of course she did
42:57We can't quite seem to beat what I did
43:01You know, people do what they have to do to survive
43:04Maybe that's all you were doing, surviving
43:09I did the opposite
43:13Tried to bury it, put it in the past
43:21Who, uh, who was it?
43:26That you lost?
43:31You lads seem awful interested in my past, I notice
43:36Dove in particular
43:38You know, it's the way she is with everyone
43:42I did wonder if you maybe knew what she was fishing for
43:58She, she thinks you were in a relationship with Fiona
44:03And that Malachi was your brother
44:09Does she now?
44:15Do you know what happened to them?
44:25I didn't mean to
44:27I know exactly what you meant
44:30I loved that woman more than life itself, eh?
44:33I saw my children in her eyes
44:35I would have moved heaven and hell for her
44:38Malachi
44:40Malachi was my rock
44:44And then one day they were just gone
44:48Gone where?
44:51Sometimes you have to face the fact that some questions
44:55Shouldn't be answered
44:58So you hold on to that lovely wife of yours, Gilbert
45:03Because there's some things that are worse than death
45:10Hergitry's an Irish creation, after all
45:21Swim well, friend
45:28Look, the casement where he just dead ends into, into a bog
45:35Zoom in
45:40What does that look like to you?
45:42A car
45:45We should call Gilbert
45:50Maybe it's just a rock
45:52Shaped like a car
45:54Come on
45:55I didn't see anything
45:57We've got two people who disappeared
45:59And a mysterious car crash on that same night
46:01You don't think it's connected?
46:03Maybe
46:05One of us is going to have to go in
46:12Right?
46:17Look up, it's freezing
46:19And it's probably nothing
46:25Oh
46:56Oh
47:04It's a car
47:06Oh my god
47:07Right here, I fucking knew it
47:20Did you get anything from Seamus?
47:22Look, he's not who you think he is
47:24You know, if he was the badger, he definitely isn't anymore
47:28He's just, just a man
47:30A really, a sad man
47:46You know, maybe, maybe this podcast isn't about all this crime stuff
47:49You know?
47:51You know, maybe it's a story about grief
47:54And a man who's dealing with losing all the people he cares deepest about
47:57Right?
47:58Wow, yeah, great hook
48:00People are really going to want to listen to that
48:02I think it sounds really interesting
48:04You can't just go around pulling things out of bogs
48:06There's official paperwork needs filling out
48:08Hooks, you just stay back at a safe distance there, now
48:10Go on, just get back there, lads, please
48:12No, I don't know whose it is
48:16It's empty
48:18Right, it is empty
48:20So there's nothing to see here, and we all go on home, please
48:22It's worth a shot
48:24I guess
48:42Fuck me
48:44Oh my God
48:46Two bodies
48:48Locked together for over 20 years in a bog
48:51Buried secrets finally come into life
48:54It's a storyteller's dream
