00:18One of them for me?
00:20Uh, definitely me.
00:22I just came back to get me back.
00:23She's well trained.
00:25Grabbing her coffees, hooking her up with a job.
00:28I'm just trying to be nice.
00:31Look, I don't blame you for being angry with her.
00:33I'm not angry.
00:35Well, what are you then?
00:36I'm indifferent.
00:37If I spent my whole life thinking my mum's dead and I found out that was a lie, I'd be
00:42angry.
00:42As far as I'm concerned, she did die.
00:45And my mummy muscle died with her.
00:47Yeah, but she's alive.
00:48And she's actually a good crack.
00:50She's grand.
00:51I just don't get any feels when I see her.
00:53Well, you're not trying to get to know each other now that she's here.
00:56You know the life she lives.
00:58She'll be on the next boat out of here as soon as she gets bored.
01:01She's not going anywhere.
01:03Yeah, well, I've made it very clear that we're never going to be besties, so I don't know why she's
01:07hanging around.
01:12What am I missing?
01:14I told her to stay.
01:16Excuse me?
01:17I thought you wanted her to.
01:18Are you serious?
01:20I am trying to live my life, and I've got you two manufacturing some fantasy about me and Lily.
01:25Queer mates.
01:26Yeah, we're trying to help you.
01:28You have a second chance with her.
01:29Don't blow it.
01:30I am not little orphan Annie.
01:32Who needs a home?
01:33Everybody wants their ma to like them.
01:35Yeah, my ma doesn't like me, but she's still my ma.
01:38Can you do genuinely not hear yourselves?
01:41You're projecting your own issues onto me.
01:44No offence, Fergal, but you and Jacinta clearly aren't the best dad for family values.
01:50And you didn't even talk to yours, so if you want to fix someone's family, try your own.
01:58Holly was avoiding me this morning.
02:00I've tried calling her twice since then.
02:02She won't pick up.
02:03That's a big deal, getting her to make a statement at the guards against Mondo.
02:07Maybe we should let it sink in for a while.
02:11The trial is less than three weeks away, right?
02:14We don't have time for Holly to think it over.
02:17Hey, Victor.
02:22Thanks.
02:24You go on.
02:25I'll try to get her on her own.
02:29Well, I know why he's mad at me, but there's no need to be rude to you.
02:33It's nothing.
02:34Just forget about Victor.
02:36It's hard to.
02:38He could say something at trial that gets me put away.
02:41You want my advice?
02:42Ignore him.
02:43If you keep trying to talk to him, it's just going to annoy him.
02:47Sorry, yeah, you're right.
02:50So, I've got a lot on my mind.
02:52Look, why don't you go on to the office?
02:53I can get the bits we need.
02:58Holly?
03:09So, when suits you today to go to the guards?
03:11I never agreed to your crazy plan.
03:14Well, you need to agree to it.
03:15Now.
03:17Everyone knows it's what he was thinking.
03:19All right, the guards just need to hear you say it.
03:22I bet you've even written me a script.
03:24Just a few punters.
03:27You didn't come forward before now because Mondo is your boss.
03:30But you can't get it out of your head how he said he wanted to hurt Anto.
03:36Or maybe I could just tell the guards about how you helped Greg, Spike Lorcan, hmm?
03:41Or Emma.
03:42Let's see if she'll still have you under her roof after that.
03:45You're going to wreck my life.
03:48You're a smart woman, Holly.
03:51Make the right move.
03:54Do you know what?
03:55Tell Emma.
03:56I survived without the Rafferty's before and I'll do it again.
04:03So, Dog took the photos by mistake.
04:06And then when you came up with that silly lie about losing your rotor...
04:11Well, he must have looked at them and been embarrassed.
04:14And what was I supposed to say, hmm?
04:17Oh, Dog, did you happen to pick up me and Dolores' boudoir pictures?
04:23Are you that embarrassed?
04:25You shouldn't have done them if you were that uncomfortable.
04:27I was comfortable with you.
04:29We were away.
04:31It was exciting and romantic.
04:33Just hadn't intended Dog seeing them, that's all.
04:36Neither had I.
04:38Well, now he's seen them and he's too awkward to mention it,
04:41so we're caught in this loop of Ferguson self-consciousness.
04:46I'd better go.
04:47Well, I'm going to ask him for the photos.
04:50We're growing adults.
04:51We've nothing to be ashamed of.
04:53Of course not.
04:54Yeah, don't worry.
04:55I'll be subtle.
04:57Right.
05:03So, Holly actually dared you to tell Mum about Lorcan.
05:09I'd like to see her fend for herself without my family supporting her.
05:12Yeah, and what then?
05:13If Emma cuts her off, we lose our leverage.
05:20What if, instead of pressuring her, we try something a bit more emotional?
05:27Holly has no emotions.
05:30Except when it comes to Milo.
05:33That's exactly what I was thinking.
05:38Hey.
05:41I was talking with the solicitors.
05:43They're finishing up the paperwork.
05:45I should be able to transfer the comment shares next week.
05:49That was quick.
05:51I asked them to make it a priority.
05:54I look forward to it all being wrapped up.
05:57Me too.
05:59And thanks for letting us know.
06:03See you.
06:07We need Holly to make that statement.
06:18Oh, hi.
06:19Hi.
06:19How was your trial in the salon?
06:21Oh, good.
06:23Georgie is a sweetheart.
06:25I'm sure you're like a duck to water in there.
06:27Let me buy you lunch to celebrate.
06:29Oh, thank you.
06:32So.
06:33You're taking the job, then?
06:35It looks like it.
06:38Listen.
06:39Fergal.
06:40Bless him.
06:41He's a good guy, but he's watched too many Disney movies.
06:45I don't get you.
06:47I know he told you that I wanted you to stay, but he got that one wrong.
06:53Did he?
06:54Mm-hmm.
06:55Stay.
06:56Go.
06:57Do whatever you want.
06:58But forget what Fergal said.
07:00Okay?
07:01Let me know when you're ready to order.
07:15That was the temp agency.
07:17What time are they arriving?
07:18They're not.
07:19The replacement fell through.
07:21They'll call later to confirm someone for next week.
07:23You can't run a medical practice like this.
07:26What do they expect us to do?
07:28Let's just keep going.
07:29We'll split the admin and get through it somehow.
07:31You're right.
07:32So, can you file these for me, please?
07:34If that's not splitting the admin, I have my own work to do.
07:37Mr. Murray is waiting to be seen.
07:38Mr. Murray, this way, please.
07:52How are you?
07:53I'm here for me bloods.
07:55Oh, er, Mrs. Boyle, isn't it?
07:57Mm.
07:58Do you have an appointment for today?
08:00That whippersnapper of a doctor gave me one when I was in yesterday.
08:03I can't seem to find you on the system.
08:05What sort of a place is this?
08:07You've no staff.
08:08You've no records kept.
08:09I'm sorry.
08:10Things are a little hectic while we're down a receptionist.
08:12Well, that's no good to me.
08:15I might be able to squeeze you in this afternoon.
08:18Well, I hope you're better at taking bloods than you are at working that thing.
08:21Why don't you come around to me at three o'clock today and judge for yourself?
08:26Fine.
08:26I will.
08:33What's going on?
08:34I got a notification to say Milo left school early.
08:37Only me and James can take him out on the school app.
08:39I thought Hayley told you.
08:41Yeah, I used James' login on his laptop.
08:44You should have said.
08:45Did you not get my message?
08:46I got tickets to a kids' show in the Paddy's Day Festival.
08:49I thought Milo might like to spend some time with Emma.
08:51I didn't get any message.
08:53You'd like to go to the play with Gran, wouldn't you, Milo?
08:56Yeah.
08:58Can I speak with you?
09:06You're using my son now to manipulate me?
09:08Do you really want to blow this cushy set-up you have going here?
09:14Holly, I'm sorry.
09:15We should have cleared it with you first.
09:17No, it's okay, Emma.
09:18Just cross wires.
09:19That's all.
09:20I can bring him back to school if you prefer.
09:22No.
09:23No.
09:24It's okay, sweetheart.
09:25You don't have to go back to school.
09:26You can go to the play with Emma.
09:26Yay!
09:28If you're sure.
09:29Yeah, of course.
09:32Are you really willing to say goodbye to all of this?
09:35Is there nothing you won't do to get what you want?
09:39I need that statement, Holly.
09:41And I need it today.
09:47What would you like?
09:48Nothing, thanks.
09:49I'm waiting for someone.
09:50Oh, no problem.
09:53Oh, hi, Dolores.
09:55Hi, Doug.
09:55Look, I saw you go in.
09:59Pete was saying that you're having a run of bad luck.
10:01Oh, it's just...
10:02The only cop today is Friday the 14th.
10:04Let's probably just go to bed and close the cones.
10:07And hopefully that's your lot for the day.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Right, I'll head back.
10:10Oh, listen, I just wanted a quick word while Pete's not around.
10:15What's up?
10:18Look, I know you said that you didn't have the envelope that Pete lost.
10:23The one with the car brochure?
10:24Brochure.
10:25Invoice calling what you like.
10:27We're all adults here, right?
10:30Nothing to be embarrassed about.
10:33So, if you just have another look around, I'm sure you can turn up and you can put it back.
10:39And then you, your dad, none of us, need to ever mention it again.
10:45OK.
10:46So, you'll have a little think about where I might be.
10:49Sure, yeah.
10:50I'll think about it.
10:52Let's do it.
10:53See ya.
11:03What's going on?
11:03I just saw Milo and Mum heading off in a cab.
11:06I sent them off to a play.
11:08I thought if Holly saw them happy together, she might play ball and not risk ruining everything here.
11:15Don't worry, it's just a threat.
11:17Did it work?
11:18She's upstairs now, thinking it over.
11:22We need her to do this, James.
11:25Well, let's make it an easier decision for her.
11:27How?
11:31You happy with your wife using her son to make me lie to the guards?
11:35Milo will always have a home here.
11:38Hayley was just helping you see things more clearly.
11:41Now, are you really going to choose Mondo over everything that you have here?
11:45And perjure myself in court?
11:48You might even go ahead.
11:50Think of everything that you have to gain.
11:52A criminal record?
11:53A guaranteed career path at Comet.
11:59Absolutely.
12:00When I'm running the company, I'll be looking for people who are willing to get the job done, no matter
12:05what it takes.
12:07It's a guaranteed future for you and Milo.
12:09And a significant pay rise, I'm sure.
12:13That can definitely be arranged.
12:15This family sticks together.
12:16You do this, and it won't be forgotten.
12:21What's it going to be, Holly?
12:24Yes or no?
12:42You'll have to sell this to the guards.
12:45Not make it out like someone's forcing you to do it.
12:48You are forcing me.
12:49Look, I know this is difficult for you.
12:53Okay, I really appreciate you doing this.
12:56I get that you like Mondo, but I know what was in his heart the night he killed my dad.
13:02And your statement will help bring him to justice.
13:07A year from now when you run on accounts at Comet and Milo's playing with Scouts, you won't remember this.
13:15This is insane.
13:17We have work to do.
13:18So, Jan, we need to go over what you're going to tell the guards.
13:28I didn't even notice the needle was in.
13:31Oh, you're a pro, all right.
13:33We'll let you know when we get the results.
13:34I'm really glad we could help Mrs Boyle.
13:36We?
13:37Dr. Doolittle here did nothing.
13:39Only cocked up and expected you to clear up his mess.
13:42Mrs Boyle, was there a problem?
13:45He never made my booking.
13:47Thankfully, this one was here to bail you out.
13:49I was sure I asked Nurse Seymour to make the appointment.
13:52No, you didn't.
13:53Oh, look, look, look.
13:54I don't want to hear your lover's tiffs,
13:56but at least I know who to talk to the next time I'm in.
14:01See you.
14:03Please don't contradict me in front of patients.
14:06It's not a good look for the practice.
14:07So I'm just supposed to take the blame for your mistake?
14:10I'm a doctor, not a receptionist.
14:12And I am.
14:13Why don't we go over the appointment procedures
14:15so this doesn't happen again while we're on our own?
14:17I know how to make an appointment.
14:18Clearly not.
14:19I don't have time to talk about this, okay?
14:22We'll talk later.
14:24Mrs Duffy, this way.
14:30What's up?
14:31Ah, what's the story?
14:32Oh, day from hell, bro.
14:35Plus, my kids broke the compressor.
14:37Super-narchy customers.
14:38Get away from me.
14:39Might be contagious.
14:40Any crack at yourself?
14:42Well, not good.
14:44Eh, cute customer asked me for my number, actually.
14:47Oh, yeah?
14:48Invited me to a party on Paddy's side.
14:50Ah, nice one.
14:51Yeah, all right?
14:52Dino, what's up?
14:53Just in for a quick session.
14:54Ah, go easy.
14:55You were in yesterday and recovery is important too.
14:58No pain, no gain, am I right?
14:59You up, bro.
15:00Yeah!
15:02He's in good form.
15:04Flying.
15:05He set a new personal best on the bench press yesterday.
15:08Oh, so it's just me having a bad day then.
15:10You'll feel better tomorrow.
15:11Oh, come here.
15:13Dolores was on to me about me dad's missing envelope again.
15:15But I'm telling you, bro, something is up.
15:17They can't even get their story straight about where it is that they lost.
15:19I'm starting to feel guilty lying about it.
15:21Doug, what are you saying?
15:22Well, maybe we should get it back for them.
15:24Dane is in good form.
15:25He's not living in the past anymore.
15:27I got asked out on a date.
15:28When was the last time that happened?
15:29You said yourself you felt better since the funeral.
15:31We can't risk everything digging things up again.
15:34What's going on?
15:36It's Erica.
15:37She asked me to take No-No tomorrow.
15:39What?
15:39Have you got plans?
15:40No, it's not that.
15:41She's seeing some new fella and he wants to take her away the weekend.
15:49Well, you wouldn't have thought it was your first date.
15:52Mm-hm.
15:55You doubted me.
15:56I was doing nails when you were in short pants.
16:02Georgie, I'm looking for a lodger.
16:04Spread the word, will you?
16:05If you know anyone that's interested.
16:06Yeah, will do.
16:09How long are you planning on sticking around?
16:11Oh, er, I'm not sure yet.
16:14Cos there's a room going on mine, if you're looking.
16:17Oh, well, thank you.
16:19I'll think about it.
16:20Right.
16:21See you.
16:24That's a sign.
16:26A place right here.
16:27You should stay.
16:29I'm not sure that I'd be for the best.
16:31Gwen did say it'd be a waste of my time hanging around.
16:35But she's in denial.
16:36What do you mean?
16:37It's a lot.
16:38Getting used to you being in her life all of a sudden.
16:43All her life.
16:45She thought I was dead.
16:49Now, I'm the ghost of her mother.
16:53I know, Gwen.
16:54And she wants you to stay.
16:58Well, she deserves to be the one who decides.
17:03Now, Mr Murray.
17:05Thanks for coming in.
17:13We got through it in the end.
17:15Did we?
17:16Everyone got seen.
17:18We didn't kill any patients.
17:20That's a pretty low bar.
17:22I owe you an apology.
17:24I know.
17:28I messed up Mrs Boyle's booking.
17:30Things were hectic and it got away from me.
17:34I know that too.
17:35This is me apologizing here.
17:37You haven't apologized for blaming me for your mistake in front of a patient.
17:41From what she said, you got there first and hung me.
17:44I told the truth.
17:46There was no appointment for her in the system.
17:48I might...
17:49Fine.
17:49Whatever.
17:50Let's just move on.
17:51So, no apology.
17:53Okay, then.
17:57I have some notes to write up and some orders to send.
18:00If you could just process some paperwork for me while I do that.
18:05Absolutely not.
18:06Sorry?
18:07We agreed to split the admin.
18:09I did my fair share.
18:10I did mine.
18:11I've still got a load of work to do.
18:14I'm done covering reception.
18:18Can I help you?
18:19Don't mind me.
18:20Just here for the show.
18:22She's a friend.
18:23What's up?
18:24I was just saying if you wanted to keep me company during my shift later.
18:28I'll need a drink once I get out of here.
18:32Are you going to answer that?
18:34Oh, I said I'm done.
18:35So, you can get it.
18:37Don't be so childish.
18:38It could be important.
18:39I don't know.
18:40The phone is right beside you.
18:42You really should answer it.
18:45Cargstown Medical.
18:49Thanks for letting us know.
18:53That was the temp agency.
18:55They have no one available until next Thursday.
18:57At the earliest.
19:00So, looks like it's just going to be the two of you for a wee while yet.
19:07Interesting.
19:17Did you have a chat with Doug?
19:19We talked.
19:20It went well.
19:22Did you tell him about our pictures?
19:24Well, I didn't need you.
19:26He knows.
19:27So, he says he has them.
19:28Well, not in so many words.
19:30I was discreet.
19:32I didn't want to fluster him any more than you already have.
19:35So, we're exactly where we were this morning.
19:38I wouldn't be surprised if the photo is mysteriously turned up in your desk drawer on Monday morning.
19:44Gently, gently, catchy monkey.
19:52I'm telling you, man.
19:53There's something very weird going on with the two of them.
19:57To be honest, I'm kind of dying to know what it is I did bury.
20:00Whatever it is, we're not digging it up.
20:04It's not just that.
20:06Erica.
20:07I knew she'd move on.
20:08I just didn't expect it to be so soon.
20:12I mean, you and Dian, you's got something out of burying your stuff.
20:14I buried someone else's.
20:16I don't even know what.
20:17It looks like I'm jinxed or something.
20:19Yeah, jinxed.
20:20What's going on?
20:21Nothing.
20:22He's just having a bad day.
20:25Spit it out, lads.
20:28Erica's saying something.
20:31Oh, that sucks, man.
20:34I'm not sure I'd be ready to hear that about my raids.
20:37You just need to put it out of your head.
20:39We need to keep moving forward, yeah?
20:43I suppose my looks bound to change eventually.
20:45Doug, there's nothing supernatural going on here, yeah?
20:49Burying our stuff, it made us face our feelings.
20:52That's what helped us.
20:54I suppose, yeah.
20:55So now you need to face this about Eric.
20:58What are you saying?
21:00We can help you do it again.
21:02Properly this time.
21:03You don't mind going back there?
21:05No, Doug deserves to get what we got.
21:07So grab your hitches.
21:09We buried him once and for all, yeah?
21:13Thanks, Tina.
21:22I am going to enjoy this for as long as it lasts.
21:25What?
21:26You're a nurse.
21:27Pretending you're not absolutely...
21:28Absolutely wild for each other.
21:30Trust me, the thrill is gone.
21:32If I could get her to do her job properly, that would be a win.
21:35Well, I, for one, believe you.
21:47You know, I thought me staying would be a good idea.
21:52For who?
21:53For both of us.
21:55I was thinking, I was thinking, I'm really hoping that we could have a laugh together.
22:01You remind me of somebody I used to be.
22:05But you are right.
22:06There are other places I could go and a lot sunnier than here.
22:10So if me hanging around isn't something you're interested in, you just say the word and I'll be gone.
22:17No hard feelings.
22:26Who's that?
22:28My dead mother.
22:32That's it, I'm calling her.
22:37Here she is.
22:41Hiya.
22:44How'd you get on?
22:46It was a real fun time.
22:48Did you tell the guards what we agreed?
22:51Yes.
22:52Exactly.
22:54As we prepared it.
22:55You would have lied better than me.
22:57But I did what you said.
23:01You, uh, you did the right thing.
23:05How would you know?
23:07You don't know the difference between right and wrong.
23:09This can be a fresh start.
23:11Right for all of us.
23:16Hey.
23:17Hey.
23:19Thanks for the advice earlier.
23:20About Victor.
23:23Oh, no worries.
23:24And I, I just want you to know that I won't forget the friend you've been to me through all
23:29of this.
23:43We got what we wanted.
23:46That's all that matters.
23:51Are you having second thoughts?
23:53Even if I was, the damage is already done.
23:56She can't withdraw her statement now.
23:57She needs to hold her nerves.
24:00I thought I could smell the aroma of the 90s finest perfume.
24:04It wasn't a compliment.
24:06What the hell are you lot up to?
24:08It's a love funeral.
24:09It can't be okay.
24:10It was Doug's idea.
24:11Sound, lads.
24:12You going somewhere?
24:14Yes.
24:15Away.
24:16Away where?
24:18Anywhere but here.
24:19in the door here?
24:21M
24:21You're still there.
24:25I'm still here.
24:26I've told you the only time they've made a story.
24:26We have an extra assets hak folks that we already know.
24:26I'm sure you've done it.
24:27Then because you've done a lot of the money,
24:27you've done a lot of the money.
24:30You've done a lot of the admirable.
24:33You're doing the money where I've been there.
