00:00MUSIC
00:15Erm, do you want to meet up later this evening?
00:19Go dancing?
00:22But we should, erm...
00:25Don't you think, meet up to talk about everything?
00:30We should, yeah.
00:31Talk now?
00:33I can't have work. This evening, I'll call you.
00:37Yeah, okay.
00:38Yeah, fine. I'll see you.
00:46Yo.
00:47How are you?
00:49Da.
00:51What's the story?
00:54Erm...
00:55Mariah thinks we shouldn't move in together.
00:57Oh, I mean, er...
00:59Are you two finished?
01:01No, erm...
01:03She just wants our space and...
01:06Bit of time to herself.
01:08Right, right, yeah.
01:10Where are you gonna stay?
01:11Where are you?
01:14Well...
01:15The...
01:16Rug off.
01:18Oh, right, yeah.
01:18Yeah, of course, yeah.
01:21Right.
01:28Morning, Fergal.
01:30Lovely dates we got on your holiday.
01:32If I could take you with me, I would.
01:34What?
01:35What were you and Gwen talking about?
01:37Sorry?
01:37Last night.
01:38The McCoy, as I heard you.
01:41Er...
01:42Nothing.
01:43I don't know.
01:46Sorry, what did you hear?
01:47You said to her about her and Gar, and that if she didn't tell me, you would.
01:51Tell me what?
01:53Nothing. It was nothing.
01:55I could just wake her and ask her.
01:57No, don't wake her up.
01:59So?
02:01Ask her later.
02:03I'm asking you.
02:05This is really more to do with Gwen.
02:07You should be talking to her.
02:09Could you just ask her?
02:09Don't do that. Gwen would...
02:12Much prefer that you didn't.
02:16Because Gar isn't...
02:18I mean...
02:19Gar doesn't know all the...
02:21circumstances.
02:24Circumstances?
02:25Actually, it would be much better if you just didn't mention this to Gar at all.
02:27Just...
02:28Leave it.
02:29And...
02:29Talk to Gwen.
02:31That's something serious.
02:33Is there something that Gar should be worried about?
02:36I wouldn't say worried.
02:37Well, what would you say?
02:39Gwen will explain.
02:59Are you not talking to me?
03:01No.
03:02I shouldn't have even said that.
03:03What did I do?
03:05I'm the one that's put out here, you know.
03:07I'm sleeping in the box room.
03:08What did you do?
03:09Yeah.
03:10You took that woman in and didn't even consult me.
03:13And what do you mean you're sleeping in the box room?
03:14So you're moving in with Dolores?
03:16It's a delicate matter, it might take some time.
03:18But in the meantime, I have a bedroom the size of a coffin.
03:21She's just been here for one night so far, so...
03:24Would you give the woman a chance?
03:27Are you two still here?
03:29Good morning, Claire.
03:30I thought you two would have gone to work by now.
03:33I'm just heading off.
03:34Me too.
03:35Well, I need the kitchen.
03:36Could you clear the table?
03:38Excuse me?
03:39There's a lot of clutter in the office.
03:41Comet is organising some promotional things,
03:43so I'm working from here.
03:44Right.
03:45I mean, the kitchen.
03:47I have a lot of Zoom meetings.
03:49The light is good in here.
03:50Gotcha.
03:51The first one's in ten minutes, so could you clear the table?
03:54Oh, absolutely, yeah.
03:56And you're gone till, what, six?
03:58I'll be back at lunch, have a half day.
04:01Yeah?
04:02The holidays I didn't take, but...
04:04when you move.
04:06Right, yeah.
04:07As long as you keep the noise down,
04:08and you don't come wandering in here,
04:10I'm gonna be on a call.
04:12I'll let you know when you can come in.
04:14All right?
04:15Sure.
04:18So, can you...?
04:20Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course, of course.
04:25Don't, erm...
04:26Will you give me a hand there?
04:30This is your fault.
04:32You do it.
04:33Do you know what?
04:34I liked it better when you weren't talking to me.
04:45You're mistaken about Holly's promotion.
04:48Really?
04:50All the things is fake.
04:52That influencer was paid to say how good it was,
04:55and everything after that was just all her followers agreeing with her.
05:00Sorry, am I supposed to referee this?
05:02I just came in for coffee.
05:04She was paid.
05:05She was hired. It's her job.
05:07It's deliberately misleading.
05:08Misleading.
05:09Your opinion is your opinion.
05:11But don't go spreading it all over the place, would you?
05:13I mean, why do you want to damage my business anyway?
05:16Especially when Emma's coming on board.
05:18Might be coming on board.
05:20Down the line.
05:22Depending.
05:22Well, things take off, you know.
05:25Or with another branch.
05:26A franchise.
05:27Seriously.
05:28Down the line.
05:30Possibly.
05:30A new chain.
05:31Why not?
05:32We pay Tom Cruise to say,
05:34it's the best pizza in Ireland.
05:36Is he lying?
05:37Do people even ask that?
05:38No, they don't.
05:39Because you don't care.
05:40It's advertising.
05:41It's publicity.
05:43I was right.
05:48You should listen to her.
05:51He is right.
05:53Well, you would say that.
05:55Wouldn't you?
05:59Fergal knows.
06:00He doesn't know about Gar paying you to have him here,
06:03but he knows there's something going on between you and Gar
06:05and he was asking me.
06:06And what did you say?
06:07I said that he should talk to you.
06:09But then Fergal was saying that he wants to ask Gar about it.
06:11No.
06:12No, it's okay.
06:12I told him that Gar doesn't know all the circumstances
06:15and that it would be better if he didn't say anything about it at all.
06:18And what did Fergal say?
06:19Ask him, was there something important?
06:21And should Gar be worried?
06:23And what did you say?
06:24That you'd explain.
06:25Oh, Georgie.
06:27Well, that's time something.
06:28So Fergal's going to come and talk to me?
06:30Yes.
06:31And it's about me and Gar?
06:32Yes.
06:34But Gar doesn't know all the circumstances?
06:35Yes.
06:37And it would be better if Fergal didn't mention it?
06:39Yes.
06:40And I'll explain why.
06:42Yeah.
06:43So I need to come up with a story about me and Gar
06:46that Gar knows nothing about.
06:49Exactly.
06:51And what would that story be?
06:53That's up to you. I've done me bit.
06:55Are you joking me?
06:56I've bought you time.
06:58You'll come up with something.
07:03Well, we can certainly make those amendments to the agreement
07:06and we'll all fire it across.
07:13Doug.
07:17Doug.
07:19Doug.
07:20What?
07:22Are you still ignoring me?
07:24I couldn't hear you. I'm wearing headphones.
07:26And why are you shouting then?
07:27Because I'm still annoyed at you.
07:28What's all the shouting?
07:29I'm on a call. Can you keep the noise down?
07:34Well, what are you doing here?
07:36I'm talking to my son.
07:37Well, can you do it quieter?
07:39Yes, sir.
07:43I'm sorry.
07:45You were right.
07:47I should have consulted you.
07:50Why, Hoda?
07:52Because I had to get her out of Dolores' place
07:54so I could move in.
07:55But you didn't move in.
07:56I know that.
07:57So when are you moving in?
07:59I don't!
08:04I don't know.
08:05But for the time being,
08:07you and me are in this together.
08:09Okay?
08:10Except you went out last night with Dolores
08:12and left me stuck with her.
08:14How bad can it be?
08:15But she took over to tell you that.
08:17She's got this box that says some real life thing about hospitals.
08:21Hospitals?
08:22Two hours I spent watching operations.
08:25Blood and guts and people getting caught open.
08:27Ah, yeah.
08:28I know.
08:32Yeah, and I'm pretty sure Orla's gonna stay quiet.
08:36Emma backed me up.
08:38She told Orla that our stuff was par for the course,
08:40which it is, isn't it?
08:42Orla hasn't a clue about this.
08:44Yes, our stuff is totally fine.
08:46It's not like we're doing anything illegal.
08:47Well, illegal doesn't bother me.
08:49As long as we're not caught.
08:51Well, it's not illegal.
08:54I don't need a kid.
08:56You know, if Orla does start melting off,
08:58it's a little publicity, right?
09:00Bad publicity?
09:01Ah.
09:02The nauseous thing is bad publicity.
09:04It was that Oscar world.
09:06Whoever it was, they weren't in PR.
09:08Yeah, well, not to worry about Orla.
09:10It's not gonna be a problem.
09:12But I was also thinking about AI, bots and that sort of thing.
09:15You could really screw up other people's publicity, right?
09:19Why would you?
09:21Rival. Competition.
09:24I don't do that.
09:25I'm not asking you to.
09:26I'm just saying you could.
09:28You're better off focusing on your own business and building that up.
09:31Yeah.
09:32Absolutely.
09:32But when you build it up and you want to expand more and you want to move into other people's
09:37territory, that's...
09:39That's competition, isn't it?
09:44Don't answer your phone.
09:46I was swimming.
09:47I left your messages.
09:48You were meant to be here 30 minutes ago.
09:50I was swimming.
09:51I saw your messages and I came straight away.
09:53What's going on?
09:54Fergal's gonna be here any minute.
09:56Why? Is there something going on?
09:57Yes.
09:58He overheard Georgie talking to me about you paying me to have him in the house.
10:02Gwen, no!
10:03Well, hold on.
10:04Right, you were the one that let this slip in the first place.
10:06What, so this is my fault now?
10:08Well, yeah.
10:09Wait, no.
10:10Hold on.
10:11Let me just...
10:13All Fergal heard was blah, blah, blah.
10:15You and me.
10:17Georgie's saying if I don't tell Fergal, he will.
10:20Right, so I need to come up with a story to tell Fergal about you and me.
10:24And he's gonna be arriving here any minute to hear what that is.
10:27Gwen, why am I here?
10:29To back me up.
10:30I say what exactly?
10:31Well, just mostly just act surprised, like you've never heard any of this before.
10:34But I haven't heard anything.
10:37Right, there he is.
10:38Gwen!
10:39Just come on, back me up, surprise.
10:42Fergal!
10:46Alright.
10:47What's going on?
11:07I asked you to be here, because this is actually about both of you.
11:12Fergal, I'm as surprised as you are.
11:14I'm not surprised.
11:15Oh.
11:16I heard Georgie and Graeme talking last night.
11:19I knew there was something up.
11:20Oh, I'm not surprised, I just wanna know what's going on.
11:23Well, just to let you know, I am surprised.
11:26Gar, maybe just stop talking and just listen.
11:29Sorry.
11:30Ahem.
11:31Okay.
11:32So, a couple of days ago, Gar told me that he fancied me.
11:36What?
11:37I'm sorry, I just thought Fergal should know, and look, this was totally out of the blue.
11:43Yeah, it surprised me as well.
11:47It, but you know, it's like, you see someone, but then you actually see them.
11:55That's really lovely, and I was so flattered.
11:58Sorry, but why am I here?
12:01You want an audience or something?
12:02Well, because this actually concerns you.
12:06I said that I needed some time.
12:09Right.
12:10And, and this is me, okay?
12:12This is not you, but I think if we got together, it would make things weird between me and Fergal.
12:19Weird how?
12:21Because I'm your friend, and he's your brother.
12:24I knew that before I arrived.
12:26Oh, come on, Fergal, do you not, do you not see how this would complicate things?
12:29Like, Gar, don't you?
12:31Yeah, yeah, I do.
12:32Like what?
12:34Like...
12:34Well, it's like Gwen said, used to her friends, so it would, erm...
12:39Complicate?
12:40Yes.
12:40Things.
12:42Because you see, it already has, you know?
12:45Like, this is awkward, isn't it?
12:48Yeah.
12:50What are you?
12:51Hang on a second.
12:52I...
12:53Gar, I hope, I hope you understand.
12:56Because I like you.
12:58I really do.
12:59But I just don't think this is going to happen.
13:03I do.
13:04I, I understand.
13:07Are you okay?
13:09Yeah.
13:11No, I, I mean, I'm, I'm upset.
13:13I'm upset, but that's how you feel.
13:17Do I not get a say on this?
13:19This is actually between me and Gar.
13:21But then why am I here?
13:24Because!
13:24You wanted to know what me and Georgie were talking about the other night.
13:27You could have just told me that.
13:29Instead of me sitting here watching you dump my brother.
13:31Oh, hold on, she didn't dump me, we didn't get started.
13:34Right.
13:35And I wanted you here for support.
13:38What?
13:39You know what, I have to get to work.
13:41Gar, I, I hope we can still be friends.
13:43Sure, why not?
13:46Fergal?
13:47Thank you for being here for me.
14:00Try to head into town.
14:02Go somewhere fancy.
14:04Erm, of course it's fine.
14:05It's quiet.
14:05Erm, like you said about not wanting us to move in together, yeah.
14:10I understand.
14:14Erm, Dean.
14:16You need your space.
14:17Of course.
14:18And quiet.
14:20After all the madness.
14:23Dean.
14:24And listen, take your time as well.
14:26There's no rush.
14:29I'll leave it.
14:33What?
14:36I can't stay here.
14:40Erm.
14:42Yeah, sorry.
14:45Like, we're taking a break.
14:48We're going to New Zealand next month.
14:52No, we're not.
14:54What are you talking about?
14:57Well, I'll go.
14:59With Phoebe.
15:01I'll pay you back the money for the ticket if you can't cancel it.
15:03Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:05What are you, what are you saying here?
15:09We're not going together because I'm, I'm going back to cattle.
15:14Back home.
15:18Back to, yeah, quiet.
15:22And then New Zealand with Phoebe.
15:25And then.
15:29So, like.
15:30So, like.
15:31Yeah, you.
15:32Like, you go to Cashel and then, then New Zealand and.
15:37You feel better and.
15:38We can figure out what we want to be.
15:43Come on, come on back.
15:46Not here.
15:49I don't want to be here.
15:51I've cared about work.
15:52Wherever, like.
15:53I don't, it doesn't matter to me.
15:54Look.
15:55As long as we're together, I.
15:56We're not together.
15:57I don't want us to be together.
15:58I don't love you.
16:03I'm sorry.
16:11No, you're not.
16:26Orla.
16:27Hey.
16:30You know.
16:31Paul is right.
16:33People don't care.
16:34It's just publicity.
16:35And if you go around ranting about it, they'll just think you're trying to screw him over.
16:39Which is reasonable.
16:41Which is reasonable.
16:41Because that's what exes are for.
16:43It's never going to change.
16:44I don't know why I even care.
16:47Because sometimes that's what exes are for as well.
16:50It's very annoying.
16:53I'm sorry for being such a cow.
16:54No.
16:55Well.
16:56Buy me a drink.
16:57And we're quits.
16:59Done.
17:02Hey.
17:04Sorry it didn't work out between us.
17:06Gwen, stop.
17:06That was actually insane.
17:07No.
17:08It wasn't.
17:09It worked.
17:10You were great.
17:11Was Fergal talking to you?
17:12Yeah.
17:13I kept apologizing for ruining me romance.
17:15Oh.
17:16That's sweet.
17:17And what did you say?
17:18She said I didn't want to talk about it.
17:19That's brilliant.
17:20That's exactly it.
17:21Because you know, say you're like heartbroken for like a week.
17:25And then everything just goes back to normal.
17:27Heartbroken.
17:28No.
17:28No.
17:28Mildly regretful for a few days.
17:31Fine.
17:31Well if denial works for you.
17:33You know, before when you were saying how much of a friend Fergal was.
17:37It was very good.
17:38It was very believable.
17:40Well he is my friend.
17:41Yeah.
17:41You went to all this trouble not to upset him.
17:45Because you like him.
17:46Of course.
17:47So all that money I've been paying you to put up with Fergal.
17:51That stops.
17:52Now.
17:54It was good while it lasted though.
18:04Oh Lord.
18:07I know.
18:08It's amazing what they can do.
18:12I wouldn't mind it being a surgeon.
18:23Maybe we should go somewhere else.
18:25Why?
18:26Oh.
18:27The station.
18:30Anywhere around here is going to have memories.
18:33Mostly bad.
18:35Yeah well this is where I live so.
18:37Pick a good memory.
18:40Think about that and have a drink.
18:43Do you want a pint?
18:46Yeah.
18:46Sure.
18:47Take a seat there.
18:50It will get better.
19:01What was that about?
19:04Him and my right?
19:06I was swinging.
19:12Yeah.
19:20I'm right.
19:22I saw you talking.
19:23I saw you walking away.
19:26It's over.
19:28She's leaving.
19:30For good.
19:32That's what she wanted isn't it?
19:35Works for me.
19:37And that's all that matters.
19:39What you want.
19:40You're the one who told Mariette about Will.
19:43You made your choice.
19:45I made mine.
19:46Are you going to whinge about it now?
19:47Just get the hell away from me.
19:49There you go.
19:51Anger is better than feeling sorry for yourself.
19:55You'll survive.
19:57Just go away.
20:01I thought you could do with this more than me.
20:05Drink it or not.
20:07Tomorrow is still going to be Saturday.
20:10Life goes on.
20:25Hi.
20:27Hi.
20:29You all right?
20:34This thing between you and Gar.
20:38Ever since you came back from Belfast.
20:40I knew there was something on your mind.
20:43Yeah because you know.
20:45And look listen.
20:46I wanted to say it again.
20:48Thank you for being there for me.
20:51Anyway.
20:53Gar at work I tried to talk to him but he just kept shutting everything down.
20:58Oh yeah.
20:59He needs time.
21:01We both do but it'll be okay.
21:04Look I know that you were looking out for me.
21:07But I think you should give it a go.
21:09Give it a go?
21:10You and Gar.
21:13Fergal.
21:14That's really nice of you but it's...
21:15Look he's a good guy and you're fantastic.
21:18He'd be lucky to have you so yeah you and Gar should give it a go.
21:24I don't fancy him.
21:27What?
21:29When he came out with all this stuff about how he really liked me and we should go out.
21:33I didn't want to hurt him.
21:35You know I wanted to let him down gently.
21:39So I came up with that story about not wanting to ruin our friendship.
21:45Sorry.
21:47No.
21:48That was...
21:49Good.
21:50Decent of you.
21:52You're not mad at me?
21:54Why would I be mad?
21:57Well for...
21:57For using you like that.
22:00I wanted to tell you but...
22:02I thought if I didn't it would...
22:03Be more real.
22:05No.
22:06Using me.
22:07That's what friends are for.
22:09I mean...
22:10We are friends.
22:11Right?
22:11That is real.
22:12Of course it is.
22:15Wouldn't have worked if...
22:16If we weren't.
22:19Oh.
22:21This got delivered for you.
22:26Is there something wrong?
22:28Gwen.
22:30I saw the Victorian address.
22:32The solicitor's office.
22:34Bell's passed.
22:35Is everything alright?
22:37I told them I didn't want this.
22:40What is it?
22:40It's...
22:41It's nothing but junk.
22:43It's junk.
22:43Junk?
22:44Yeah.
22:46Stuff my dad's.
22:48Your dad?
22:49Uh huh.
22:49He died.
22:51What?
22:53When?
22:55November.
22:56Third I think.
22:58November as in three months ago?
23:00That's why I was in Belfast.
23:02They read the will.
23:05It's nothing but junk.
23:07You never said?
23:08No.
23:10Why?
23:11Because it didn't matter.
23:13What?
23:15Well it's nobody's business.
23:17But Gwen.
23:17It's hardly even my business.
23:20I know that you didn't really know him but still.
23:22But still what?
23:23It didn't matter.
23:25It doesn't matter.
23:26It doesn't matter.
23:27It doesn't matter.
23:43It might be true.
23:44It sounds very bad.
23:46It doesn't matter.
23:46You don't know up.
23:47You know?
23:47It's a lot better.
23:52It doesn't matter.
23:52It's good.
23:56It doesn't matter.
