00:18Oh, Dino!
00:21Come here, any word from Estella?
00:24Are you going to see her again?
00:26Pete, do you remember the whole what happens in our clothing?
00:30Yeah, well, that never works.
00:32It was a bit of fun.
00:33Not so much fun if Paul finds out.
00:36Yeah, take more than a dream catcher to calm him down about that.
00:39But what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right?
00:41Or you.
00:43Exactly.
00:44Seriously, Doug, you've got to keep his store, right?
00:46Well, you'd better make sure that she hasn't left any more notes for you in the backseat, then.
00:51Yeah!
00:53See you later, bro.
00:55Hey.
00:56As soon as the park gets here, you can fix it, right?
00:59Nice to see you too, Laura.
01:00Wait, you want us to walk on the car today?
01:02Yeah, well, Paul's back tomorrow.
01:04Sure, I can't do anything until the park shows up.
01:06Yeah, but I paid for rush delivery.
01:07What time does it usually arrive over the weekend?
01:09Well, he never guarantees us the time, but hopefully he'll be here before lunch.
01:13Okay, I paid for rush delivery.
01:15Hopefully he just won't cut it.
01:17We're not market walkers, you know.
01:19Also, you never said anything about walking on a Sunday.
01:21Oh, please, Doug, I am begging you, okay?
01:24Can you just fix it?
01:25He is back tomorrow.
01:26Right, well, we get double time for Sunday work, Ray said.
01:30Okay, fine.
01:31Hold on, hold on.
01:32I can't put this through the books.
01:34Who says?
01:35I manage junior shares, so I'm also management.
01:38That makes you a trusty.
01:40Now, I'm not trying to be difficult here, but everything has to be square.
01:44Okay, fine, okay?
01:46We don't have to put it through the books, okay?
01:48I would pay you cash today, but it has to be good as new.
01:52Paul can never know, all right?
01:53Okay, great.
01:54Sorry, excuse me.
01:59So the apology worked. Holly bought it?
02:02I think so.
02:04She said that she doesn't think I'm dangerous,
02:06and that she feels okay working with me.
02:10Good.
02:11Just feels wrong.
02:13Making out like this is all Melanie's fault.
02:16Pretending that she went on a solo run.
02:19Melanie's fine.
02:20You have bigger things to worry about.
02:22Holly's never gonna change her statement.
02:23Just keep a polite, friendly distance.
02:26And don't get yourself into a situation where you spend too much time together.
02:34I didn't know you'd be here.
02:36We'll take this meeting in the boardroom.
02:39Actually, will you give me five minutes?
02:53I thought you were managing that promo gig today.
02:57I am, but three of them called in sick.
03:01I've been ringing around your freelancers trying to get someone, but it's too short notice.
03:05Did you try those students from Ballyfarmer that we used for the Christmas promotion?
03:09They said they're studying for exams.
03:11On a Sunday.
03:13I've tried everyone on the list twice.
03:16I'll do it.
03:17I don't think you're gonna get a different answer.
03:20No, I mean, I'll do the job with you.
03:22Mondo?
03:22A word?
03:24It's fine.
03:24I'll tell Melanie we'll talk later.
03:30You shouldn't feel under pressure because people are sick.
03:33And I meant what I said about how much I value you.
03:36I really don't mind stepping in.
03:39Might even be fun.
03:42Okay, maybe not fun.
03:43But have you got a better suggestion?
03:48We could make this work.
03:50What other choice have we got?
03:53Today, the business has to come first.
04:08How did you manage to make so much mess?
04:11I was cooking breakfast.
04:12And you used every single dish in the place?
04:15Slight exaggeration.
04:17Barely.
04:19You looking for something?
04:20Yeah, my phone.
04:22I can't think I'm fair.
04:24Well, it's hard to tell given the state of the place.
04:26I'm cooking pancakes.
04:27You want some?
04:28I started earlier, but then I got distracted.
04:30Yeah, I'll take your word for it.
04:32Come on, you have to keep this place tidy.
04:34Sure thing.
04:35I mean it, Ben.
04:37This is my home.
04:38You can't treat it like some kind of dump.
04:40How am I supposed to find anything?
04:41I mean, if we're gonna get technical, it's my home too.
04:45Seriously, you sure you don't want some?
04:46They're really good.
04:47The trick is to add a little bit of bicarb with the buttermilk.
04:50Our chef back home taught me how to make them.
04:52Oh, well, it's a shame that he didn't teach you how to clean as you go.
04:55Oh, gee.
04:58Okay, okay, don't stress it.
05:01I'll keep the place tidy.
05:05Ah, I told you'd be somewhere.
05:21There's a new course of yoga classes starting here next week.
05:25I was thinking we could sign up.
05:27As if I have time.
05:28You could make time.
05:30What happened to taking it easy?
05:32I am.
05:33Doctor's orders.
05:34Well, Tara's, but it's the same difference.
05:37What exactly did Tara say?
05:39I'm still waiting for her to call me for those tests.
05:43Could take forever.
05:44Oh, don't let her keep you waiting.
05:46I won't.
05:47I could have a word of you.
05:48I could get you put to the top of the queue.
05:50No, er, don't make a fuss.
05:52Here, look.
05:55I've got your chocolate biscuits.
05:57Oh, all right.
05:58I don't want to be a source of temptation to you.
06:01Well, if you don't want them...
06:02Oh, no, I didn't say that.
06:04Everything in moderation, right?
06:08It's no wonder your kids are so hyper with you stuffing them full of sugar.
06:13And now, actually, we're under a new regime.
06:16Not that it's any of your business.
06:17A new regime?
06:19You could have fooled me.
06:21So, you listened to me about Lent, did you?
06:23Did I ask you?
06:25You obviously didn't listen to me about Lent.
06:30I hear.
06:32No, don't let her derail you.
06:34You were doing so well.
06:37Nicky, if you're worried about something,
06:39you know you can talk to me or Sean.
06:42Please don't let this stress you.
06:44Hardly.
06:44Well, I'm trying not to.
06:46Well, do you want me to break out the white coat again?
06:49Definitely not.
06:53You can head back to the office.
06:55I can handle things from here.
06:56No, it's okay.
06:57I'd prefer to stick around.
06:58You sure?
07:00Yeah.
07:00You can go back if you want to.
07:04Oh, I'm surprised you two are still working together, seeing as she's testifying against you.
07:11Don't want to let the business down.
07:13So noble of you.
07:16You should have let me run Comet when you had the chance.
07:19You're going to destroy it.
07:21Right.
07:23You know what?
07:23Maybe I will take that break.
07:25You okay to hold the fort?
07:26Yeah.
07:27Maybe you should let Armando take the break.
07:30Yeah, I'll just take advantage of being able to go outside while he still can.
07:35Come on.
07:36Come on.
07:36Let's go.
07:36Just leave him to us.
07:42Oi.
07:44How's he looking?
07:45The part's just gone, you know, so it'll take me a couple of hours to finish so long as it's
07:48a straightforward job.
07:49You better hope it is.
07:50See, you know, it's like, I swear, it's like the cars do know when we're under pressure.
07:54Hey.
07:55So, any joy?
07:56Well, the good news, the part got here.
07:59Okay, so everything's okay then?
08:00Yeah, er, when was the last time Paul had his card in for his service?
08:04I don't remember working on it this year.
08:05Ah.
08:06Ray gave it a full inspection about a month ago.
08:08Have you got the work sheet there?
08:10Yeah, I don't know.
08:15Well, hang on, that says he got a whole new housing replaced last month.
08:21Well, is that a bad thing?
08:23Well, there is if we have to explain replacing it again.
08:25Well, make it so he doesn't ask any questions.
08:28Yeah?
08:28You think that'll work?
08:30Well, it has to.
08:40Are you sure Nicky is hiding something?
08:43Absolutely.
08:43The only question is what?
08:45Well, you know Tara isn't going to tell you anything.
08:47Oh, she hasn't seen the Cassidy charm in action.
08:51Yeah, I don't think that's going to work on her.
08:53Oh, ye of little faith.
08:57Ah, you're looking wonderful today.
09:02We're only open for emergency cases today.
09:04I know.
09:06Is it an emergency?
09:07Not exactly.
09:08But it is important.
09:10You've got two minutes.
09:12Well, we know you can't talk about someone else's test results, but we're worried.
09:18It's Nicky.
09:20It's Nicky.
09:21What about her?
09:22Those extra tests you want her to take.
09:25Is it serious?
09:29She doesn't need any tests.
09:31Does she?
09:33There's nothing wrong with her.
09:35Is he right?
09:37Um.
09:38Well, how about blink once for yes, twice for no.
09:43We only want to know how sick she is.
09:46She's got children.
09:49Okay, we've already been over patience, confidentiality.
09:54But you might want to ask Nicky to give me a ring.
09:56It seems we've got our wires crossed.
10:02I'm going to kill him.
10:03Ben.
10:04Yes, King Nerd the first himself.
10:06I thought you guys had everything sorted.
10:09Well, that didn't last long.
10:11Well, what's he done now?
10:13Ben, he's being the house guest from hell.
10:16I popped back in this morning, and the place was like a bombsite.
10:19I was only gone for a couple of hours, and he'd managed to create complete chaos.
10:22You need to lay down some rules.
10:24Hmm.
10:25Why didn't I think of that?
10:26Well, I tried that, and it didn't work.
10:29I've also told him that he needs to be pulling his weight, and he doesn't listen.
10:32Joe always spoiled that boy.
10:34And Lord knows he probably never had to pick up after himself in America.
10:38Yeah, well, bet you he had staff to do that.
10:41Well, it was far from staff he was raised.
10:44Sounds like he got used to it pretty quickly.
10:46More's the pity.
10:48Joe should have had more sense.
10:50I suppose if you don't know any different, it could be a bit of a shock to the system.
10:55I am not picking up after him or washing his dirty dishes.
10:58You have got to be strict.
11:01Kick him up the backside until he stops stepping out of line easy.
11:06Do you want me to go over there now and have a word with him?
11:09I can handle it.
11:11Are you sure?
11:13Absolutely.
11:15Thanks.
11:22You okay?
11:23Yep.
11:24Aw, thanks, Doug.
11:28There's your key.
11:29Thank you so much.
11:38What the hell is going on here?
11:54No.
11:59So what happened to me, Car?
12:03Nothing.
12:05Don't try that again with a real answer.
12:07I just asked Doug to give it a once in a while.
12:09over to make sure that it's managing the extra mileage I was just being cautious
12:14well Ray replaced the termist at housing a month ago so what didn't he do one
12:19again I'm sure you know what bogey parts are like Paul it's always a gamble in
12:24plain English but you save money on unbranded parts yeah sometimes this
12:29happens they don't last as long as the branded ones so this on me then yeah no
12:33no one is saying that it's not their fault and you know this because all it
12:40was doing me a favor it's my fault okay I was getting supplies from the cash and

18:43keep costs
18:44down and a good quality yeah would you never run by me what else don't I know okay you had
18:50bigger
18:50things to be worrying about with Nicola okay look at all the orders that have gone out I mean it's
18:56working I can't see a man rich being too happy making on his own pizza dough yeah well it
19:03was kind of me I made it I didn't think it would be better Paul okay everybody just heard that
19:09I
19:10was making it and I think they were just being kind don't worry about the details okay just focus
19:16on the bottom line would it kill you to say good job Worla yeah well don't think this is going
19:23to let
19:23you off the hook don't look so grumpy Paul you're making money that should put a smile on your face
19:28yeah but I still have to pay a totally unnecessary bill from the garage no you don't because I am
19:33paying the repairs it's not going to cost you anything well repairs I thought you put it in for
19:39for a check-up yeah yeah I did repairs bills same difference
19:52um do we walk into the wrong house that is the only logical explanation
19:59maybe we should rethink laying down the law strategy good because honestly I was dreading that
20:05fine me too I owe you an apology I'm so sorry I left the place in such a state this
20:14morning
20:15I know that's not on well it was a lot I'm not going to lie but this is amazing
20:22seriously this is like deep clean level I can't get over it it must have taken you hours
20:29not exactly what aren't you telling us Benjamin Fahey I know when you're lying you give me the
20:36whole first name last name treatment spill what did you do okay I didn't exactly spend the whole day
20:43cleaning I hired an executive cleaning company to come in and do a rush job
20:48hey and how much did that cost you on a sunday it was worth it wasn't it oh you're unbelievable
20:53to be
20:53fair you told me to get the place clean you never specified I had to do it myself
20:59I think you should book them every week no sweat
21:10trying to avoid me
21:16why would I do that
21:19well that's what I'm wondering
21:23you seem to jump in there pretty quickly to take the flag for Orla before
21:28you don't have to cover for her I'm not
21:33she never great with cars you know I should have known better than I could tell her she could use
21:37it
21:38you know she won't spend two years without checking the oil in her car before
21:43so what did she do
21:46it wasn't Orla it was me
21:51I borrowed the car to do a festival down in
21:54Arclough and uh was heading back
21:57started overheating
22:00she borrowed employees that I gave you my permission
22:03well I didn't think you'd find out
22:05clearly
22:07none of this is Orla's fault
22:09oh you're right there
22:11because you're the one who took my car without my permission
22:13and then you damaged it
22:16Doug replaced his thermostat
22:17because it's as good as no better even
22:20all right
22:21that's how you're gonna play this is it
