00:06THE END
00:14Hey Victor
00:17Hi
00:19I'm guessing business is slow
00:22There's no point in sitting in an idle cab
00:24Might as well get some fresh air
00:27Between you and me
00:28I thought what Carol did was a little rough.
00:31Having customers post bogus reviews about me on an app,
00:34I'd say that's more than a little rough.
00:36I didn't spite Lorcan.
00:38Yeah, but Greg did.
00:40You did try to cover for him.
00:42It should have stayed between the two of you.
00:45Damaging your reputation, costing your work.
00:47I was harsh.
00:49And have you said that to her?
00:51No, I didn't think so.
00:53I have a family to provide for.
00:55That's the only reason I got in touch with those customers.
00:57I need work.
00:58Maybe Carol will come round.
01:01You're a bookie.
01:02What odds would you give me?
01:05It's a long shot.
01:10You better go.
01:11She won't like us talking.
01:14I'll see you, Victor.
01:15Yeah.
01:17Suppose he's feeling sorry for himself.
01:20Well, he has lost all his regular customers.
01:22Good.
01:23What's the idea?
01:26What's you care?
01:27We share a grandson.
01:29Yeah, and what about my grandson?
01:32Greg's by Lorcan, and they covered it up.
01:35I think Victor's taken his medicine.
01:37Maybe he'll let it go.
01:39It'll be a long time before that happens.
01:45All good?
01:46Ask me again in two parts, say the most time.
01:50Did you have a good night last night?
01:53I think it's pretty obvious that I did.
01:57I saw you crying.
02:01Fuck, it makes me emotional.
02:03Are you sure there wasn't more to it?
02:06I was drunk.
02:15Lily's photo made you cry.
02:17Why?
02:19It was a moment of weakness.
02:22The sooner she goes back to being my dead mother, the better.
02:25Good riddance.
02:26That's what I say.
02:28OK.
02:30If you're sure that that's what you want.
02:46Hi.
02:47Hey.
02:50How's the head?
02:51Hangover reserve for the week.
02:53Paracetamol.
02:54I know you too well.
02:57Is this the sooner reason you came over?
02:59Maybe I wanted to know how you were feeling
03:01after you were running with Lily last night.
03:03Good as ever.
03:04Are you going to say anything to her?
03:06I think we said it all last night.
03:09She knew I was in a home.
03:10She never came and got me, so...
03:13There's no forgiving that.
03:14I know.
03:17Besides, just...
03:17Every time we talk, it ends up in a huge fight, so...
03:20What's the point?
03:22I liked my life before she got here.
03:25And if she goes, are you all right with leaving things like that?
03:28Very.
03:30But do you not think...
03:31I don't want anything to do with her, right?
03:32And I'm pretty sure she feels the same, so...
03:35Can we just leave it?
03:38Well, I'll see you later.
03:47I should be gone, Sian.
03:50So...
03:51Good riddance.
03:52Right?
03:54Yeah.
04:05You want to talk about it?
04:08About what?
04:09You.
04:11You're fuming with your sister.
04:13I'm not.
04:15I'm not bothered.
04:17So you're done with her, are you?
04:20Until she apologises to you.
04:22She won't.
04:23How do you know?
04:25Because she's not thinking of anyone else.
04:28Oh, I know that.
04:30She is terrified.
04:32And she's every reason to be.
04:33Our fella's looking at a prison sentence.
04:35Well, she thinks Mondo's going to get off.
04:37Maybe she has to think that.
04:38But she doesn't know.
04:40Mondo doesn't know.
04:41The solicitors don't.
04:43It can go any way.
04:44And that's scary.
04:46So she's lashing out a bit.
04:48Let her off.
04:50She hasn't let me off.
04:51You think Mondo's guilty.
04:54Yeah, I do.
04:56Ando is dead, Nicky.
04:57All he did was throw a punch.
05:00Now, I've seen a fair few punches thrown and nobody ended up dead.
05:05So what?
05:07It was bad luck.
05:08A random tragedy.
05:10We all just forget about it and move on.
05:13Like, Mondo made his decision.
05:15Yeah, in the moment.
05:17It was self-defence.
05:23It's not for us to judge him.
05:26I know.
05:29But I can't be on Mondo's side.
05:31I just can't.
05:34But that doesn't mean I don't care for Keira.
05:36Like, what am I supposed to do?
05:38How am I supposed to support her?
05:41Well, I go over there for a cup of tea.
05:44I listen to her mount in Mondo's defence.
05:46And I pretend I'm on his side.
05:49You're too honest.
05:52She would see right through me.
05:54Even if I tried to.
05:57I have no poker face.
05:59You're not a liar.
06:00But you know yourself.
06:02You can't pick and choose.
06:03You can't be there for her and want Mondo to go down.
06:08Mondo's doing on trial.
06:10But they're in it together.
06:12You're with them.
06:13Or you're not.
06:29Hi.
06:31How was the cinema last night?
06:33Yeah.
06:34Fine.
06:35What'd you go see?
06:36Oh, it was some rom-com.
06:39What was it called?
06:42You really took it in.
06:44I had other things on my mind.
06:51Mondo, have you thought about talking to someone?
06:54Oh, like...
06:55a counsellor.
06:57I don't think therapy is going to change anything.
06:59Well, it can help.
07:01Look, if not for you, then...
07:03then do it for Ciara.
07:07I know I'm not her number one fan,
07:09but I can see that she's doing her best.
07:12And I can see it's taking a toll.
07:19Good.
07:20OK, I'll send you his number.
07:23Thanks.
07:26You're all packed?
07:27Not yet, but...
07:29I've not got much.
07:30Oh, I'll give you an address
07:32where you can send on the post.
07:35That way you'll have to stay in touch.
07:38Well, people email nowadays.
07:40Is that not easier when you're on a cruise ship?
07:43I prefer the personal touch.
07:47Penpals.
07:48Or you could send the odd Valentine.
07:52Well, look, don't be expecting poetry.
07:55Oh, I think you've got it in you.
08:01Well, it's been fun.
08:04Interesting, at least.
08:06We have a discount, you know,
08:08for people who've stayed a week.
08:1120% off if you want to stay a few more nights.
08:18Are you trying to persuade me for your sake?
08:20Or for Gwyn's.
08:22We could do the business.
08:24That's all.
08:25I appreciate the offer.
08:27But I don't think it'll make any difference.
08:35What a performance.
08:37She's a winning award.
08:39What are you?
08:40An expert on human emotion?
08:42Well, you think she's being genuine?
08:44I think her and Gwyn both care more than they're letting on.
08:48And how could they not?
08:52Hiya, Victor.
08:54Hi.
08:56Any joy?
08:58I've had one fair all morning.
09:00I wouldn't even cover the cost of my petrol.
09:02I'm going home.
09:04I might have some work for you.
09:06What kind of work?
09:08Regular.
09:10Cash in hand.
09:11How's that sound?
09:13Like you're winding me up?
09:14No.
09:17Well, then I'm your man.
09:19But why?
09:20We share a grandson.
09:22Don't want to see you struggling.
09:23That reason enough?
09:25What about Carol?
09:27She's not going to be hiring you back any time soon,
09:29if that's what you're waiting for.
09:30I mean, where is she, Mike?
09:34Meet me outside Vino's in an hour.
09:48What a nice surprise.
09:50I have something for you.
09:53Do you have to bring him?
09:55Every time I turn round, there he is.
09:57He's here for moral support.
09:59Oh, good for you.
10:01You're useful, aren't you?
10:03Here.
10:06What's this?
10:07Farewell, good luck card.
10:09I know there's some cash in it.
10:11It's your picture.
10:12I thought you might want it back.
10:13No, I gave this to you.
10:15I wanted you to have something.
10:18Something to remember you by, was it?
10:20No, not like that.
10:21Don't worry.
10:22I've made copies.
10:23It's actually going to be my Christmas card.
10:25Fergal's blown it up.
10:26We've put it over their mantle.
10:27All right, watch the cheek.
10:29Excuse me.
10:30Where do you get off talking to me like you're...
10:33Like I'm your mother?
10:34Never.
10:36Let's just go back to pretending the other doesn't exist.
10:39I never pretended that.
10:41I think I preferred it when you were dead.
10:50Shut the door on your way out.
10:53I want to talk to you.
10:54Oh, don't tell me.
10:56You just want to make sure I get out and get on my way.
10:59No.
11:00I'm not going to tell you to leave.
11:01What then?
11:04I think you should stay.
11:06Please.
11:24There's a cruise ship docked in Dublin.
11:26I will be on it when it takes off.
11:29This is more important.
11:32She says she wants me gone.
11:33I have to believe her.
11:35I'm not going to stay where I'm not wanted.
11:37She wants you to stay.
11:39She's covered.
11:40Where is she then?
11:41Why is she not telling me herself instead of wishing I was dead?
11:46I have to move on.
11:48She doesn't like anyone helping her either.
11:51Sounds familiar, all right.
11:53Yeah, you're as thick as each other.
11:55What are you trying to do?
11:56Make me cry?
11:57You made her cry.
11:58That girl is made of stone.
12:00No, she's not.
12:02She cried.
12:03Look at this.
12:04I've had nothing but grief from her ever since I came.
12:08I told her my story, her history.
12:12She didn't want to know.
12:14She just threw it back in my face.
12:16Well, you would know why if you knew her.
12:19It's too late.
12:21I think if we're as alike as you say we are, I should definitely go.
12:27This town is not going to be big enough for two of me.
12:35Thanks for trying.
12:37I'm glad she's got you as a friend.
12:41She had my back.
12:43I'm just returning the favour.
12:47See you.
12:48Yeah.
13:03Hiya, Victor.
13:05So, what are we doing?
13:07I'll just go to my accountant's in town.
13:10Okay.
13:12Strap in.
13:13I'm not going with you.
13:17This is.
13:18Why not just use a courier?
13:20Because I need someone I can trust.
13:23And you need the work.
13:25Right.
13:26Problem?
13:28No.
13:29Not good.
13:31Hiya.
13:32Oh, sorry.
13:33Hi.
13:34I wasn't expecting you back.
13:35Well, that's because I didn't tell you.
13:37I got off early.
13:38How are you?
13:41Well, thanks for the lift.
13:45I'm surprised Carol isn't her fella anywhere near you.
13:49Should we not be avoiding them altogether?
13:51JJ's a good bloke.
13:52He's been trying some work my way.
13:55Even he knows Carol is out of line.
13:58So, are you going to bring me for a drink with all this extra money you've been making?
14:02Later.
14:02Yeah, definitely.
14:04I've got a fare.
14:05Sorry.
14:06Oh, no.
14:06Do what you have to do.
14:07Tonight?
14:08Can't wait.
14:09Great.
14:10I'll see you later, okay?
14:11See ya.
14:17Come on, will ya?
14:19Stop dragging your feet.
14:20Since where did you get started with the yoga?
14:22Oh, well, I'm not going.
14:23I'm just dropping you off.
14:24Like a toddler to crash?
14:25Exactly.
14:26This camera stuff has you like a caged animal.
14:28I can't be in the house, would ya?
14:30You need to rediscover your zen or whatever.
14:33All right.
14:36Here's your chance.
14:38For what?
14:39To bury the hatchet.
14:41He doesn't want to talk to me.
14:43Well, he is going to have to be a big boy.
14:45And considering all that he's gone through,
14:47I think it should be you.
14:56Come on, though.
14:58We should talk.
15:01I don't want to leave things the way they are.
15:03Is that an apology?
15:06What would I apologise for?
15:07Nothing.
15:09Not to me, anyway.
15:10But Ciara, on the other hand.
15:11Look, neither of them is good at apologies.
15:13Maybe you should both move on.
15:15Well, I tried to sort of with her.
15:17Yeah?
15:17How did that go?
15:19Look, I don't blame you for not being on my side.
15:22But Ciara does.
15:24Look, if it makes you feel better,
15:25I'll tell her we made up.
15:26It'll make her happy.
15:28There.
15:29That's something, isn't it?
15:31I know it's a nightmare what you're going through.
15:35But Ciara's going through it, too.
15:38I just want to be there for her.
15:41We don't have to be best mates to keep it civil.
15:44Sounds great.
15:46Sean?
15:47Yeah.
15:56Right.
15:58Here we go.
15:59This is for the best.
16:15Hi.
16:17Hi.
16:29Hi, yes, I'll be right there.
16:54It's like he's given up.
16:56That's a lot of strain on a person.
16:58This is going to be really tough on him.
17:00Yes, it will.
17:02Well, I recommended that he speak to a counsellor.
17:04I gave him Gavin's details.
17:06It might help.
17:08You're not convinced?
17:10He needs to keep his head up if he's to have any chance,
17:13but there's a lot of people who saw what happened.
17:17Maybe I shouldn't have tried to reassure him.
17:19Of course you should.
17:20That's your job.
17:23But I wouldn't be under any illusions.
17:25You have to prepare yourself.
17:27We might lose.
17:32Hey.
17:33Hey.
17:34What's this all about?
17:36I thought it'd be nice if we hang out.
17:38All three of us.
17:40And Nicky.
17:42Does she have to be here with a prison talk?
17:44Look.
17:45She is the one that got me and Mondo back talking.
17:50You made up?
17:52We both want what's best for you.
17:55I made you change your mind.
17:58It's easy for me to judge.
18:01You are in the middle of it.
18:03So anything you need, I'm here.
18:08I'm on your side.
18:11Both of you.
18:18You're not telling any more war stories?
18:20He asked.
18:21No, you were saying before to not borrow anything,
18:23don't get in debt.
18:24Can we not talk about it?
18:25This is interesting.
18:26My mate Chrissie was inside and she got in debt over a toothbrush.
18:30A toothbrush?
18:31And her weapon of a cellmate turned around and said she owed her.
18:34Big time.
18:34Plus interest.
18:36Chrissie ended up having to hold pills.
18:38Got caught with them.
18:39And two years tacked onto her sentence.
18:41That's some dead.
18:42Must be one head of a toothbrush.
18:44All right, that's enough of that now.
18:45Come on, give us a hand with these drinks.
18:52Do you actually want to hear that stuff?
18:53I don't know.
18:56I don't know what's going to happen.
18:58You know, I might go to prison.
19:00I might not.
19:02Maybe I deserve to.
19:04But preparing myself the best I can helps take the edge off.
19:08I need to find some way to keep it together.
19:12For her sake.
19:22All good?
19:24Yeah.
19:24Pretty straight forward.
19:26Nice to know I have someone to depend on.
19:29There's more work there, if you want it.
19:32I do.
19:34Good man.
19:38This is you.
19:39Oh, thanks.
19:40There you go.
19:42You know, getting your regular customers back from Carol was the best thing you could have done.
19:47You're a god.
19:49Should you be encouraging Claire?
19:50Well, it's for a good cause.
19:52And it worked.
19:53Didn't you come home with loads of money?
19:55Yeah.
19:55It was a good day at the office.
19:57Chin chin.
19:57Mm-hmm.
19:59All right.
19:59He's gone.
20:01Sorry, Carol.
20:02I didn't see you there.
20:03Hi, it's Ruby.
20:05Tell her I said hi.
20:06Yeah.
20:08He seems to be doing okay, despite your best efforts.
20:12Did I not bury you?
20:13Are you ever gonna get over this?
20:15Oh, no, wait.
20:16Sorry, I forgot who I was talking to.
20:18I haven't kicked you out yet, have I?
20:19I reckon I'll be pretty generous.
20:21Would you ever grow up?
20:24Babs.
20:28What?
20:31They're not coming back.
20:33Jess and Ruby.
20:34They're staying in London.
20:39I've just gotten an email from Jess.
20:42When is she coming back?
20:43She isn't.
20:45She's staying in London.
20:46She's quitting.
20:47Oh, I can't believe it.
20:49So much for notice.
20:51What are we gonna do?
20:52We'll miss her.
20:52That's for sure.
20:54I...
20:54I...
20:54I...
20:55I've been doing both jobs at the same time.
20:56You love it, though.
20:57Same as me.
20:58Yeah, well, I don't love not getting credit for my work.
21:01Sorry.
21:02No, it's fair enough.
21:03It's the nature of legal work.
21:05Top dog gets all the credit, and if you're anywhere below that,
21:08it feels like grunt work.
21:10Great.
21:11We'll need to hire someone.
21:13And soon.
21:16Good, so...
21:17I can leave it in your hands?
21:18What?
21:19I'd do it myself, but I'm too busy.
21:23Is there a problem?
21:25No.
21:31Hey.
21:31Hey.
21:32Pine?
21:33Yeah.
21:34She's, er...
21:35She's gone.
21:36You know what you wanted.
21:38Haven't even thought about it.
21:40Oh, that cake's empty.
21:42I'll go.
21:43No, no.
21:43It's all right.
21:44You just mind the bar.
21:45You were in a much better form than you were this morning.
21:48Yeah, well.
21:49The last few days have just been a bit weird.
21:51I know.
21:55Gwen.
21:55But, like, we both know where we stand.
21:56Who knows when you start to move on with things.
21:58Yeah, all right.
21:59Gwen!
22:02What happened?
22:04You've got to be joking me.
22:06You won't believe it.
22:09I get to Dublin Port half an hour before I needed to ball, because I don't like to take any
22:14chances.
22:16And then I go rooting through my bag, and guess what?
22:20What?
22:21What?
22:21No papers.
22:22Now, I know I had them in the taxi, because I checked.
22:26Anyway, I'd been chatting to the driver.
22:29You know, lovely guy.
22:31He's got five kids.
22:32One of them is a teacher in Dubai.
22:34All right.
22:34So, they must have slipped out of my bag and under the seat without me noticing.
22:44Is that right?
22:46Yes, that is right.
22:48So, I explained to the staff captain on the ship, and she just said there was nothing she could
22:55do, so I just had to watch it sail off into the sunset.
23:01Your room is still there for you.
23:02Oh, Huey, I couldn't impose.
23:04No, I mean, it's there.
23:05And you said something about a discount?
23:07Every cloud, eh?
23:10Huey, would you get us a drink?
23:12Yeah.
23:15Is there something you wanted to say?
23:18No, no.
23:19I'm very happy you're still here.
23:21I mean, I suppose you'll be on the next cruise ship out of here.
23:26We'll see.
23:29So, she's back.
23:32First time for everything.
23:34I thought you'd be delighted.
23:35She obviously wanted another chance.
23:38She didn't come back for me.
23:41If she's here, she's up to something.
23:59She has a real problem.
24:03We hope you enjoyed.
24:04I'm not.
24:04I'm a little bit surprised.
24:20I'm a little bit surprised,
24:21I'm a little bit surprised.
24:24We'll see you next time.
24:25If you guys are on the phone,
24:26We'll see you next time.
24:26We'll see you next time.
24:26If you are on the phone,
