01:20I'm not toast as bread. I'm not stupid.
01:23She's a girl. She gets away with it.
01:25They look at me like everything's going to be totally messed up,
01:28like I'm the resident idiot.
01:30It's because they don't understand you.
01:32That's why they put you down.
01:34My dad used to do that.
01:36After he died, I worked it out.
01:38It's fear.
01:40We want to live our lives differently.
01:42It threatens them.
01:44Don't worry. You're not alone.
01:47Thanks.
01:58You'll be OK. It's OK.
02:01Sorry, Danny. Don't be silly. We're mates.
02:04It's my fault, not yours.
02:06Probably bad gear.
02:09Here.
02:11Thanks.
02:13Why don't you have a kip in the car?
02:16You'll feel better after a sleep.
02:27OK.
02:29Thanks. They traced the car.
02:31Not David, Daniel. It seems to be him.
02:34I'm sorry.
02:36They traced the car. Not David, Daniel Simpson.
02:39Thornwell Street. No previous self. Employed electrician.

03:27How many intends to be in 1645 this afternoon?
03:37DS Hall. DC Garda.
03:40Are you Daniel Simpson? Yeah.
03:49We've been tipped off.
03:51A gang of criminals may be targeting properties in the area this afternoon.
03:55Do you know if you'll be in?
03:57A late afternoon.
03:59Yeah.
04:01Is that your car?
04:04Yeah.
04:06Do you intend lending it to anyone this afternoon?
04:08No. Only my name on the insurance policy.
04:11Is it fitted with an alarm?
04:13Yeah.
04:16Great. Thanks.
04:18Thank you, sir.
04:27Three possibilities.
04:29He in the car will be here at 4.45.
04:34He's lying, or the car gets stolen.
04:37What are we supposed to do?
04:39We can't wait here for the next five hours and 19 minutes.
04:43We can't ask for surveillance without explaining why.

09:43He'll never tell us.
09:45Danny getting killed.
09:47Maybe that means the drowning won't happen.
