00:00MUSIC
00:12Can you ask JJ again about me working in the bookies?
00:15Are you still banging on about going to this festival with your mate?
00:19I just need a bit of extra cash to pay for it.
00:21I already said no, so will you please stop asking?
00:26I know what's going on.
00:29You were worried about the bookies being held up again, but that was a random event.
00:33It's got nothing to do with that.
00:36Look, I'll give you the money, alright?
00:39Really?
00:41Hm. It's a once-off, an early birthday present or whatever.
00:45Seriously, you don't have to give it to me. I can pay you back.
00:47Yeah, I just said I would, alright? So go on, you're going to be late for your mates.
00:51Thanks for having a seat. You're late.
00:55Go on.
01:03You gave him the money for the festival then?
01:05Look, what's the plan to deal with Buckley?
01:08And please tell me that you have one.
01:10Can I have my coffee first?
01:11I didn't sleep a wink last night.
01:14If we don't get rid of him, he's going to keep digging until he gets something on you or me.
01:18He won't. And he can dig all he wants.
01:22Look, I've got the guards sniffing around the station.
01:26And if they're coming for you, they're coming for me.
01:30And Jer.
01:31You need to speak to her again.
01:34Forget about Jer.
01:35I'll find another way.
01:58Oh, hey.
01:59Are you off to the gym?
02:00Some of the lads from work have dragged me along to a boot camp.
02:03Wish me luck.
02:04I've booked a table for us tonight in town.
02:06Nice little Italian.
02:07Yeah, sounds lovely.
02:09I've eaten McCoy's before, yeah.
02:10Perfect.
02:10Cool.
02:11Bye, see you then.
02:13Alright.
02:15Are you going on a date with him now?
02:17Yes, Ciara.
02:18I am.
02:19He actually fell for his whole charm routine through the night.
02:22And that was only because things didn't go well with Con.
02:24Con did not remind me.
02:26And it is one day with Lenny.
02:27I'm not riding off into the sunset with him.
02:29Yeah, well, I should hope not.
02:30And even if I was, it's up to me.
02:35I'm just looking out for you.
02:36No.
02:37No, you're not.
02:38You're judging me.
02:39Because if you were looking out for me,
02:41you would offer to mine junior while I was out tonight.
02:46See?
02:47Didn't think so.
02:53Great.
02:56Booker's here.
03:00Hi.
03:01Oh, hey.
03:02OK.
03:02Right.
03:03Whatever plans you've got today, can you change them?
03:07Janice, a client at the salon, has invited me and a friend
03:11to a free, bottomless brunch at her new restaurant in town.
03:16Is this Janice with the pink highlights?
03:19Yeah.
03:19That's her.
03:20I caught her son and her husband's hair.
03:23Oh, do you?
03:25Well, this is like a girly lunch thing.
03:29So what do you say?
03:31Can you come?
03:33I can't.
03:34Me and Georgie are going to a darts bar with some mates.
03:38Well, I'm sure he can manage without you.
03:41You don't mind if I borrow her, do you?
03:43It'll be fun.
03:46You should go.
03:47You don't mind?
03:49Of course you don't mind.
03:51Er, no.
03:51It's Grant.
03:53OK, I'll come.
03:55Amazing.
03:55Right, apparently it's a very fancy place so we have to dress up.
04:00OK.
04:00Well, I'll see what I've got in the wardrobe then.
04:03Thanks.
04:03You're a star.
04:09Georgie, it'll be really great for me and Gwen to have some mother-daughter time.
04:36Thank you very much.
04:43Does JJ know you're paying his debts?
04:45It's not a debt.
04:46It's compensation for your stock being stuck at customs.
04:51Buckley's not going to stop this campaign against JJ and that include hounding you.
04:55Buckley's only in my case because he thinks I helped JJ hide steel.
04:59But he's dropped that now.
05:01Has he?
05:02I don't think he's dropped anything until he's got proof of something.
05:05That's JJ's problem. Not mine.
05:08That's not your problem, that your antiques are sitting at Dublin Port going nowhere fast.
05:13I mean, if you don't have any stock for your shop, you don't really have a shop, do you?
05:18Don't you worry about my business.
05:20Look, I know you didn't want to get mixed up in any of this.
05:25But if you don't help Buckley wins, and if he nabs JJ, he's going to smell blood and he's coming
05:31for you next.
05:33I'll take that risk.
05:36Don't say I didn't warn you.
05:45Hi.
05:45Hi.
05:46I hope you're not going into the office tomorrow.
05:48I wasn't planning on it.
05:49Me neither.
05:50We deserve a bank holiday weekend like everyone else.
05:52Although, um, I've just been learning Irish for an hour for my sins.
05:57My who?
05:58Girl, my husband.
05:59Anyway, we've both been flat out and we need a day off.
06:02Well, I won't argue with you there.
06:05The work you've done on the Sullivan case is outstanding.
06:08And I'm sure it wasn't easy to get the intel.
06:10Well, no, it wasn't.
06:12But it was worth the extra hours to get results like that.
06:16Well, I'll be telling Joan in our monthly catch-up.
06:18You should ask for a raise at your next review.
06:21See you.
06:22See you.
06:24It's worth the extra hours for results like that.
06:28Are you listening in on my conversations now?
06:30You're not exactly discreet.
06:32You're taking full credit for my work.
06:34So?
06:35Someone has to.
06:36And it can't be you.
06:38Maybe you should tell Claire about me.
06:40We had a deal.
06:41Remember?
06:42You work quietly in the background
06:44and I don't shop you off to the guards for cyber-sabotage.
06:47Cyber-sabotage?
06:48It was a prank.
06:50You should definitely say that in court.
06:52Yeah, the judge would love to hear your casual opinion of website defacement.
06:55It happens.
07:02Hey.
07:03Hey.
07:04Melanie's passing off all of my work as her own.
07:07That's why we get a raise on the back of it.
07:08Why doesn't that surprise me?
07:10I could just tell her to stick her job.
07:12She's not going to go to the guards about you now.
07:15Especially after giving you access to her private client files.
07:18It's a breach of client confidentiality or whatever.
07:21I don't think she cares.
07:22And she could still go to the guards.
07:24But she's using you.
07:25No, she's not.
07:27I like the work.
07:28I'm good at it.
07:29You're not even getting paid.
07:30Yeah, well, I could lead somewhere.
07:33Well, just stitch her up in a way that doesn't implicate you.
07:37Then we'll just do that.
07:38I don't know.
07:38Think of something.
07:39Look, there's Nancy.
07:40She's lending me a jacket.
07:42I'll see you later.
07:43Hi.
07:44Oh, great.
08:06I just paid Ger the cash she wanted for her stock being stuck at customs.
08:11What did you do that for?
08:13Because I didn't want her turning on you.
08:15Which she still could very easily.
08:18How much was it?
08:20I'll pay you back.
08:22No, Ger would never go to the guards.
08:24That woman would chop you like that if she thought it would save her own skin.
08:28So, come on.
08:28What did she say?
08:31I presume the money was your way of trying to soften her up.
08:34Ger Lynch?
08:36There's no chance of that.
08:38The woman has made a reinforced deal.
08:41I'd say people used to say that about you.
08:44They still do.
08:48She's not going to help us.
08:51At least she's not holding a grudge.
08:54No.
08:55Just counting her extra cash.
09:21I'll do it.
09:23Lucky for you, I don't like Buckley.
09:26And I need him gone as much as you do.
09:28Just tell me what to say.
09:32This guy Lenny is a joker.
09:34His wife left him and now he's back sniffing around Orla.
09:37At least he's single.
09:38This time.
09:39He lied before.
09:41Said that he'd split up with his wife when he hadn't.
09:43Far from it.
09:44Orla dumped him as soon as she found out.
09:46There you go.
09:47She's not stupid.
09:49And I don't blame her for giving things a try.
09:51It's nice to have someone to do things with.
09:52Yeah, he's taking her out tonight.
09:54Lovely.
09:55She deserves a bit of fun.
09:56But he's such a slime ball.
09:58I'm sure he can't be that bad.
10:00Hi.
10:01Good news.
10:02CEO of Green Day Developments said yes to that investor's lunch.
10:06And he's bringing his MD, who's also his wife.
10:08I told you.
10:09Persistence always pays off.
10:11It's taken me years to convince Con that persistence is not the same thing as harassment.
10:15Oh, I totally agree.
10:15Well, it worked.
10:17He wants to talk business.
10:18Congrats.
10:19Well done.
10:20But now I need a plus one.
10:22It's next Thursday.
10:22Can you do it?
10:24Seriously.
10:24Is there no one else you can ask?
10:26No.
10:26And you're brilliant at this kind of thing.
10:28Besides, it's work.
10:29Yeah, why don't you ask Orla?
10:31She's used to entertaining clients and dealing with people.
10:34She would be great.
10:35And you could pick up the bill this time.
10:36I'm not asking Orla.
10:38She'd say no anyway.
10:39She might not.
10:40Third time lucky.
10:41I'm not asking Orla.
10:43It's a business thing.
10:45Fine.
10:45I'll be there.
10:47Life saver.
10:51It's a shame you didn't invite Orla.
10:53Anything to distract her from Lenny.
11:02What's all this then?
11:05You finally going to talk to me?
11:07That depends how accommodating you're prepared to be.
11:10That depends on what you've got.
11:12Let's start with the fact that JJ harbored Steele at your house.
11:16Steele never set foot in my house, even when you weren't looking for him.
11:19Don't go off in a huff.
11:21We've nothing else to talk about.
11:22That's why you're wrong.
11:24I have other information you might be interested in.
11:27I know something that'll give you JJ Nash on a platter.
11:32I'm all ears.
11:34First, I want all customs restrictions on my stock lifted.
11:38And then I want a guarantee that you'll call off the dobs.
11:41I want to be able to run my business in peace.
11:44What's the information?
11:46I want that guarantee first.
11:48You have to take me out my word.
11:50I'm not interested in you.
11:52All I want is Nash.
11:54Are you ready to give him up?
12:11There's going to be a big cash drop delivery to one of his rookies this week.
12:17How do you know?
12:19The driver's an old pal from back in the day.
12:22He has loose lips.
12:25How do I know you're not setting me up?
12:28There's not much I can say to that.
12:31Oh, here, forget it.
12:33I don't know why I'm helping the guards anyway.
12:35Why is he doing a cash drop when he knows we're watching him?
12:41He's not very smart.
12:42I have no idea.
12:44But with you on his case, he probably had to put a stock to things for a while.
12:48Well, I'd say his clients weren't too happy and he needs to make up for a lost time.
12:56Anyway, let me know.
12:58The deal is the same.
13:00I get my stock back.
13:02And no more guard visits.
13:12Have you got your hands on some free flights?
13:16He wasn't an airline pilot, not in those jeans.
13:19Well, we'll never know now.
13:24Lily got shot up by a pilot at the bar.
13:27He looked more like an insurance salesman.
13:29Even better.
13:31I thought this was a ladies-only event.
13:35Er, no.
13:36Lily got that bit wrong.
13:38It was mostly women, though.
13:40But I got some new clients for the salon.
13:43For me or for you to give to me?
13:46Have you got FOMO?
13:49No.
13:50I don't have FOMO.
13:57What's wrong with him?
13:59Nothing.
14:00What was he talking about, you giving him clients?
14:04Just work banter, that's all.
14:06He covered for me this week, so he's having a laugh about it.
14:09You have to have a very thick skin to work in a salon.
14:14Well, is he giving you a hard time?
14:16Of course not.
14:17I'm the new girl, that's all.
14:20Let's have a look, see what we've got.
14:22Yeah.
14:24Oh.
14:30So tell him what happened.
14:33I told him I had information on a cash drop.
14:36And?
14:37He's thinking about...
14:40Thinking about whether he believes you or not.
14:42You tried, I suppose.
14:44He's a guard and I've got a past.
14:47He's got to at least look like he's proceeding with caution.
14:50He didn't even ask you for details, did he?
14:53I didn't offer them.
14:54Let him come back to me and then we know it's on.
14:57Even if Buckley's gut is screaming at him not to believe me,
15:01he's going to want to go ahead with this.
15:03He's a dog with a bone.
15:11Do you believe her?
15:14If she was going to rat you out, she'd have done it by now.
15:25I'm heading into work.
15:27Sash needs cover.
15:28Will you come in later for a drink?
15:30Yeah, sure.
15:32Great.
15:33Also, if you could maybe lay off Lily a little bit in the salon,
15:37you know, just until she's settled.
15:39Excuse me?
15:40Like, I know it's work banter,
15:42but just maybe give her a chance to get used to the place.
15:46What's Jeff sent you?
15:48Just that you were giving her a bit of a hard time,
15:50but that's OK because it's salon life.
15:53But I could see she was upset by it.
15:55Oh, Lily's upset, is she?
15:57I don't believe this.
16:00But she's new.
16:01Georgie, just give her a break.
16:04She's having no problem settling in.
16:06She takes all these appointments off the law of us
16:08and it gets me to do them.
16:09She takes the credit and doesn't split the tips
16:11the way she said she would.
16:12She didn't even say thanks.
16:14What?
16:15The woman is a hustler.
16:17Well, she saw you coming.
16:19Yeah, well, I won't be doing it again, all right?
16:21Just tell her you're not a pushover.
16:23Thanks.
16:24Great advice.
16:26OK.
16:26Bye.
16:31Now, sir.
16:32Ah, thanks, sir.
16:34Listen, how are you?
16:35You must be ruling off your feet,
16:37what, with managing this place on top of everything else.
16:39Yeah, I'm flat out with Vino's and Tiny Tur's,
16:42but, you know, it has to be done.
16:44Plus, Dean and Zoe help out when they can.
16:46How is Paul doing?
16:49Surviving.
16:49Let's just put it like that.
16:52Anyway, listen, I am up this evening
16:54and I have a date.
16:55Eh, good for you.
16:56Yeah, I'm full on enjoying myself,
16:58especially since I'm up home.
17:00Hiya.
17:01Hello.
17:02Hey, um, so are we eating?
17:04Eh, I'll get your menu.
17:06Oh, thanks.
17:08Listen, how are you fixed next Thursday?
17:10We've been invited to my friend Cormac's birthday
17:11down in Kilkenny,
17:12and they are dying to meet you.
17:14There you go.
17:14Oh, thanks.
17:15Sorry, I can't next Thursday.
17:17No, of course, you're working.
17:19It was late and all the same.
17:20I promised Connaby his plus one
17:22at this business thing.
17:23Right.
17:25Orla, I'll take a pot of tea for now.
17:28Yeah, sure.
17:28And I'll just run to the ladies.
17:34Getting used to playing second fiddle to her ex.
17:37You should have said something.
17:39She might have bumped him for you.
17:41I wouldn't do that.
17:42Look, it's fine.
17:43It's not a problem.
17:54Hi.
17:58I am sorry for stealing Gwen away from you
18:01when you'd already made plans.
18:03You certainly didn't seem sorry when you were doing it.
18:05So you're annoyed with me?
18:07Well, not about that.
18:08Is it for covering me in the salon?
18:11It's not just covering.
18:12I put my neck on the line,
18:14and you didn't even say thanks.
18:16Now, you could have shown your appreciation
18:18by inviting me to the brunch,
18:20but instead, you get Gwen to dump her plans with me,
18:23and you take her with you.
18:24Oh, no, it wasn't like that.
18:26Forget about it.
18:27But I won't be covering for you again.
18:29I thought you didn't mind helping me.
18:31Lily, you didn't even share your tips.
18:34Oh, I forgot.
18:35That's all.
18:36You can have them now.
18:37No.
18:37You can have all of them.
18:38I don't want your money.
18:40Please, Georgie, I feel awful.
18:42What can I do to make it up to you?
18:46Just don't ask me for any more favours, all right?
18:52Yeah.
18:53Catch up to you in a second.
19:01Take a seat, why don't you?
19:03I have some new info on this Sullivan case.
19:05Proof that your man made false claims before
19:07under a different name.
19:09Great.
19:09Send it on to me.
19:11No.
19:12I want us to present this together to Claire.
19:15Or you don't get the intel.
19:16This is not a job and was never going to become one, okay?
19:20You were helping me out and in return, I was making sure that the firm didn't report you
19:24for the website defacement.
19:26But I'm good at this.
19:27We can keep helping you.
19:28I don't think so.
19:30Let's call it a day, okay?
19:31You just send me the latest intel, I promise not to prosecute and we leave it there.
19:35But I don't want to leave it there.
19:37Claire should know what I'm capable of.
19:38If you even attempt to tell Claire anything, or make my life difficult at all, I will personally
19:44drag you before a judge and make sure that you get jail time.
19:48Now, if you don't mind.
20:00Mind if I join you?
20:01No.
20:01Come on, I'd love some company.
20:03I'm just waiting for somebody.
20:05Oh, that's right.
20:06Your date tonight.
20:07Claire told me all about it.
20:09She thinks that the guy you're seeing is a bit untrustworthy.
20:14Yeah, I'm pretty sure she didn't use that exact word.
20:16I'm officially going to kill her for gossiping about me.
20:19She's just worried.
20:20Emma, he is not untrustworthy and I should be able to date and not get any looks.
20:26Yeah, well, that's what I said.
20:28Grab the fun while you can, see what happens.
20:30That's what myself and Tommy did.
20:33You're happy with Tommy, right?
20:35We get along really well.
20:37Nothing ruffles him that you're aware of.
20:41Emma, I just think he's a little bit put out that you can't make his friend's birthday lunch.
20:46He understands.
20:46I've got other plans.
20:48With your ex-husband.
20:50Con and I are friends.
20:51Tommy knows that.
20:53Okay.
20:54But who comes first?
20:57Con or Tommy?
20:59Because I'm pretty sure if Con tried, he could find a plus one.
21:05Finally, I was about to give up on you.
21:07Relax, I'm only 20 minutes late.
21:09Hi, nice to meet you.
21:11Oh, sorry.
21:12Emma, this is Lenny.
21:13Lenny, this is Emma.
21:14Can I get you a drink, Emma?
21:15I thought we had reservations.
21:17I've been waiting here for ages.
21:18Oh, yeah, you two go on.
21:19I've got a drink on the way.
21:21Oh, not at all.
21:21We can have one here.
21:22Okay.
21:22There's no rush.
21:23White wine.
21:24Sure.
21:26White wine.
21:27What have you got?
21:28He seems nice.
21:29Mm-hmm.
21:29Quite the charmer.
21:31At least he's not going to leg it the minute he arrives.
21:35Like somebody else that we put now.
21:44There you go.
21:47Thanks, Gwen.
21:49Sorry.
21:50What's the matter with you?
21:52I'm going to tell Clare about the work that I'm doing with Melanie.
21:55Have you lost your mind?
21:56Well, Melanie wants to cut me loose, so I've nothing to lose.
21:59Well, except she could go to the guards.
22:01Oh, I've more on her now than she has on me.
22:04And it's like you said, client confidentiality.
22:07I don't know what I'm talking about.
22:08I was just throwing that out there, all right?
22:10Don't listen to me.
22:11Oh, but you're right.
22:13My mum's lucky.
22:14And I won't be going quietly either.
22:17Just don't do anything stupid, okay?
22:20Think about it carefully.
22:32Cash drop.
22:33When and where?
22:35What about my customs-ish?
22:37It's one phone call.
22:38You'll get what you want.
22:40Fine.
22:42The Dominic Street boogies.
22:45Tuesday.
22:46Midday.
23:07Ger.
23:08He bought it.
23:10Are you sure?
23:11He's got the time and the place.
23:13He tried to hide it, but he's all charged up and ready to go.
23:18I don't want your thanks.
23:21But if any of this comes back on me,
23:23I'll be coming after you myself.
23:32Buckley bought it.
23:36Now all we have to do is sit back and wait.
23:38Yeah.
23:39Exactly.
23:40Mm-hmm.
23:44Heaven all right?
23:46Yeah.
23:48Just Betty's saying she'd open up the shop in the morning.
23:51Hi, lad.
24:06Here's more intel on the Sullivan case.
24:09How do you even know about that case?
24:12Yeah, I'll be there.
24:14Midday.
24:15Use the back door.
24:17And no more texts.
24:20Okay, he told you he'd already broken up with his wife when he hadn't.
24:23And no, don't give me that rubbish about him changing...
24:25He's not the first person to cheat on his partner, is he?
24:28Nah, she's in Carrickstone bookies.
24:30Dominic Street is a decoy.
24:31The cash drop is happening here.
24:34Right under our noses.
