00:00Exactly. And what happens under this roof falls under housemate privilege.
00:05Outside of these four walls, we don't speak about overnight guests. Understood?
00:10Got it, yeah.
00:11You look guilty.
00:13I went out.
00:14Sit.
00:17I spend a lot of time in courtrooms, dealing with liars and spoofers.
00:22That's just the other solicitors. I know a guilty face when I see one.
00:26Okay, I kind of told Orla.
00:30About?
00:31You going on a day.
00:32Why would you do that?
00:34I felt sorry for her.
00:36Expand.
00:37What?
00:38Tell me why you felt sorry for Orla Malloy.
00:40Con Rafferty.
00:42She thought that she was getting somewhere with him, yeah?
00:45But that you were swooping in, so I just wanted her to know that you weren't.
00:48That you had someone else on the go.
00:50I see.
00:52Look, on my head, I've six cars lined up for repairs.
00:56Clear?
00:58Yes, you can go.
01:00But, Doug, I trust this is the last time you've breached my privacy?
01:05Yeah.
01:05Yeah, sorry.
01:06I won't go up Robin again.
01:16Hiya.
01:17Hey.
01:19Look, are you annoyed with me?
01:20Because I didn't get the job at Norm?
01:22Of course not.
01:23Be silly.
01:24You were tossing and turning all night, and then you disappeared altogether.
01:28Scout was fussing, so I brought him into the den.
01:30Ellie's in there now.
01:30She's just getting ready to go for a walk.
01:32I'll say hi.
01:33Yeah.
01:37Hey.
01:37Hi.
01:39Listen, ma'am.
01:41Not a word to Hayley about me getting fired.
01:44James, you have to tell her.
01:46She didn't get the job at Norm, okay?
01:47My news on top of that would be too much for her.
01:50I have more secrets.
01:51I can't.
01:51It's too stressful.
01:52For Hayley's sake.
01:52Take it until I fix things with the hot bitter, okay?
01:54Please, ma'am.
01:59So you got the old recipe books out, yeah?
02:02Hey, listen.
02:04What was that dish you used to make, you know, with the mints and the aubergines?
02:09Moussaka.
02:10Moussaka, that's right, yeah.
02:11You haven't made that in a long time.
02:13No.
02:15Because you said it gave you indigestion.
02:17Oh, yeah, that's right.
02:18I was sucking on milk and magnesium all night.
02:22Yeah.
02:23I was talking to the fair about hot pots.
02:27Oh, yeah?
02:28Yeah.
02:28Lovely fella.
02:29Head of a big tech company.
02:31He said he'd get a hold of you when they're having their summer party.
02:33That food truck's coming in, bands, the whole thing.
02:37Said it's great crack.
02:38Okay, yeah.
02:39Well, I see how I'm fixed.
02:41You don't fancy it?
02:43Hopefully I'll be busy.
02:46It's part owner of Venus.
02:49The partnership?
02:50What, it's happening with Orla?
02:52Yeah, we made the peace.
02:54Have you made Paul an offer?
02:56Not yet, but Orla's gonna go into the prison today and suss him out.
03:00Well, you tell Orla to play it casual.
03:02Don't let Paul Brennan know that you're mad to get a hold of the place.
03:05Ah, look, she'll be well able for him.
03:07And hopefully with the auctioneer coming in on a Sunday.
03:11It means a pause under pressure to make a quick sale.
03:21Hi.
03:22Hi.
03:23Ellie's playing with Scout in the den.
03:24Oh.
03:26You know, some of the antiques, Chair orders are downright ugly.
03:31Who in their right mind wants a shepherdess lamp?
03:34Chair knows her market.
03:35Some five-star country house hotel will snap that up and see.
03:40Is James still in the office?
03:42Uh, yeah.
03:43Yeah, I think so.
03:44Great.
03:45Maybe me and Scout can go over and surprise him.
03:47Take him for lunch.
03:48Actually, I think he was having people in for a meeting.
03:52Cancel that then.
03:54I'll just grab a sandwich here.
03:58Holly.
04:02Hayley's in the kitchen.
04:04James doesn't want you knowing he's been fired yet.
04:06She thinks he's over in the office now.
04:09Another secret for you?
04:11Well, at first you can't talk about me being harassed now.
04:13You can't tell Hayley that James has been fired.
04:16I don't know how you keep it all balled up.
04:18It can't be good for you.
04:19I did tell him, to be honest, but he swore me to secrecy.
04:22Poor Hayley.
04:28Hey.
04:30Hey.
04:31Look.
04:31I know when you don't always see eye to eye of us.
04:34Except Milo or siblings.
04:36Half siblings.
04:37I just don't want you worrying about money.
04:40Excuse me?
04:42I don't have much, but I have a little bit put away and I'm welcome to it.
04:46What are you on about?
04:50James.
04:50James getting fired yesterday.
04:53James got fired?
04:55Holly.
04:56How could you?
04:58I thought you were hinting at me to tell her.
05:04Now, guys, there you go.
05:06Oh, we didn't order these.
05:07On me.
05:11Thanks, Dean.
05:14Isn't that very nice of Dean?
05:16Well done to you for putting things right there.
05:19Oh, sure it was you who knocked sense into me?
05:21Takes a real man to say I'm sorry.
05:25Orla, a word?
05:27Yeah.
05:29I don't like speaking about my personal life.
05:31But I will say this.
05:33Conor Rafferty is a client.
05:35Our relationship is entirely professional.
05:37Yeah, but you were planning on going drinking with him the other day.
05:40To toast a job well done.
05:42I don't sleep with clients or colleagues.
05:44It's against the rules of professional conduct, for one.
05:47And it's incredibly tacky.
05:51Thank you for telling me that.
05:54I was wondering.
05:56I know you were.
05:57I've had Pete and Doug cataloging my every move.
06:02Well, it's all down to them.
06:04You must really like Con.
06:06No, I do not.
06:08Well, okay.
06:10Smart.
06:10Funny.
06:11Successful.
06:12I can see the attraction.
06:13Yeah, he's also racked up a few names around here.
06:15You've all been around the block.
06:17And he's best friends with his ex-wife.
06:19I mean, is that the deal?
06:21Because it's really odd.
06:23Well, we all come with baggage.
06:24You're running this place with your ex-husband, aren't you?
06:28Okay.
06:29Yeah, I am.
06:31Oh.
06:33A date at this age is just...
06:36It's awful, you know?
06:38And have you seen the date naps?
06:39They're an absolute nightmare.
06:40There's no point looking for something long-term on there.
06:43I use mine for short-term only.
06:45Really?
06:47None of the strings.
06:48All of the fun.
06:49Oh, I'm starting to think I could learn a thing or two from you.
06:53Are they?
06:54Oh, yeah, sorry.
06:55Excuse me for one sec.
06:59Well?
07:00Well, the auctioneer was only here because Paul is changing insurers and wanted to get Vino's valued.
07:06Oh, the big dope.
07:07We could've only told you that.
07:09Stopped us jump to conclusions.
07:11Oh, it slipped his mind.
07:12Did you put it to how it was interesting, boy?
07:15Yeah, I did.
07:17But he wants a business to come back to you when he gets out.
07:21Really thought we'd get this place.
07:22I know, me too, love.
07:24Me too.
07:38Don't be too hard on him.
07:41Could you give us some space?
07:44Sure.
07:51Hiya.
07:54Not in the office?
07:56Ah, it's too noisy over there.
07:58Holly yapping on the phone.
08:00Much quieter here.
08:02Where's Scout and Ellie?
08:04Well, I give her the day off.
08:05You know, no point in paying her if I'm here.
08:07She put the Scout down for a nap before she left.
08:10So you could concentrate?
08:12Yeah.
08:13On your job?
08:15Yeah.
08:16The job you got fired from yesterday.
08:20Just hear me out, okay?
08:21You are sitting there lying to my face.
08:23What is our number one rule?
08:24I was going to explain to you, okay?
08:26After I'd sorted everything out.
08:27But you were just so upset after I knew her.
08:29So it's my fault you lied to me.
08:30What?
08:31No.
08:31Listen.
08:32Holly insulted me.
08:34I tried to use it against her.
08:35I told Dad to choose between her or me.
08:37She...
08:38He chose her.
08:39Inexplicably.
08:39I mean, it's insane how Mum and him just keep pandering to her.
08:42Holly told me you were fired.
08:44I felt like an idiot.
08:46Of course you did.
08:47Offered to lend me money like she felt sorry for me.
08:50Well, she was practically salivating when Dad fired me.
08:52Okay, here's what you're going to do.
08:53You're going to go over to that office and apologise to your father.
08:57Okay.
08:58And to Holly.
08:59What?
08:59No, I'm not...
09:00We have a child, James.
09:02Alright?
09:02And you have Milo to support.
09:04We need that wage.
09:06So I don't care.
09:07Suck it up.
09:08Eat whatever humble pie is needed.
09:10Yeah, but she was...
09:10Not another word, James.
09:12I'm in the driving seat now.
09:19You alright?
09:22Can we sit for a sec?
09:25Look, Ellie, last night, what you said about me and Shea for dating...
09:30It was a joke.
09:32You heard loads of the same answers.
09:34And it made you feel...
09:36Insecure?
09:37No, it didn't.
09:38It's okay to admit it.
09:40I was totally fine.
09:42I would have been jealous too, if it was you with some water feeling.
09:46Would you?
09:47Yes.
09:48Come to think of it, I would.
09:50Because you're my match.
09:51No matter what some stupid quiz says.
09:55Okay, it did make me feel like a bit of a third wheel.
09:58And I could have killed Ben.
10:01He was trying to keep Shea from running off.
10:05I think she enjoyed me getting wound up.
10:08No way.
10:09Her style.
10:10I don't know, she had this look on her face.
10:13I didn't like her at first either.
10:15But I misjudged her.
10:17She's actually really sound.
10:20You think I'm misjudging her?
10:22Why don't you find her?
10:25I wanted to hire some models to pose as a family for the Rafferty Homes catalogue.
10:29Can you not just Photoshop some people into it?
10:32I'm gonna do this right or not at all.
10:35Okay.
10:36Well, keep the cost to the bare minimum, will you?
10:42Can I interrupt?
10:44If you've come for your things, they're in the box by the door.
10:47Come to speak to my father.
10:48Spit it out.
10:52The ultimatum was unfair.
10:53Okay, I shouldn't have put you in that position.
10:55You're right to teach me a lesson.
10:57I won't disrespect you like that again.
11:00Is that it?
11:01Because we're in the middle of something here.
11:03Well, Holly had a second chance.
11:04I think I deserve one too.
11:06I had a rough guess.
11:07I'd say you've had about 80 or 90 second chances.
11:09Well, that far.
11:11What do you think, Holly?
11:13Can James have his job back?
11:16It's up to you.
11:31You're letting her decide.
11:32She's the one you had the problem with.
11:34You're playing straight into her hands.
11:36We all know what she's gonna say.
11:38Actually, James,
11:40I think you should get your job back.
11:44It's for the good of the company.
11:46We can't be pushing Rafferty Holmes as the ideal
11:48if the Rafferty family are at each other's throats.
11:52Okay.
11:54You're back in.
11:56Put on probation.
11:58Say a month.
11:59If you can't make it work, we'll call it a day.
12:02Take it or leave it.
12:04Okay.
12:06I'll have you something to say to Holly.
12:12And for accusing her of trying to sabotage us all.
12:17I'm sorry.
12:18I was...
12:21wrong.
12:23Clean slice.
12:33Thanks.
12:35Hi.
12:36Oh, Alex is at the cash and carry.
12:38It was you I wanted.
12:39Hmm.
12:40Okay.
12:41Hey.
12:42Wanna take a break?
12:43You want me for a coffee?
12:44Oh, Ellie needs a chat.
12:45In private.
12:47Okay.
12:49Sorry about that.
12:52Go ahead.
12:53This is embarrassing.
12:55Can I guess?
12:57Uh, Ben's quiz made you feel a bit jealous
13:00and that's why you got a bit salty with us?
13:02Am I close?
13:03It was totally juvenile.
13:06I have zero interest in Alex.
13:08He is a work buddy and that's as far as it goes.
13:11Okay.
13:12I was worried for a minute.
13:14Look, when you get to know me better, you'll know I just say things straight.
13:18Like, if I fancied Alex, I'd tell him.
13:21You weren't straight with Ben.
13:23I told him I wasn't interested.
13:25He obviously just didn't grasp it.
13:27Like, bring me flowers.
13:29And then Alex didn't want me to embarrass Ben,
13:31so I just...
13:32I just went along with the new plan.
13:34Fair point.
13:35Alex did railroad us all.
13:37Mm-hmm.
13:38Thanks for understanding.
13:39Most people would write me off as a jealous cow.
13:41So you're fiery.
13:43Better than being boring any day.
13:45I guess.
13:47Um, maybe we can hang out sometime.
13:49Like, just us.
13:50Yeah, I'd like that.
13:52See you.
13:52See you.
14:00Please, I cannot do another evening here with her.
14:03Can we just take Scout and go to my mass?
14:04Gladly.
14:05James.
14:08I need you in early tomorrow.
14:09For what?
14:10I'm expecting a delivery.
14:12So be there yourself.
14:13Well, you wouldn't want Colin to think there was an issue,
14:16what with you being on probation.
14:18Fine. I'll go in.
14:20And I'm gonna be leaving some of the grunt work to you from now on.
14:22Whatever. Yeah.
14:24And one more thing.
14:26Your salary.
14:30What about it?
14:31I want 30%.
14:33In a fund for me and Milo.
14:35I already give you money for Milo.
14:37Not enough.
14:38Do you want one of his kidneys while you're at it?
14:41Okay.
14:43I'll set up an account.
14:45Great.
14:46I'm gonna enjoy working with this new compliant to you.
14:51Vicious little bitch.
14:53She'll hear you.
14:54I don't care.
14:55I need the job.
14:56She is gonna make your life hell.
14:58I'll cope, okay?
15:00I have to.
15:01For you and Scout.
15:13You were right about Sheepra.
15:15She is not into you.
15:16I won't say I told you so.
15:18She's cool.
15:19We're gonna hang out sometime.
15:20Ah.
15:21That's the second good thing to come out of this.
15:23What's the first?
15:24Me realising that you, like me, way more than I thought you did.
15:28I could take you or leave you, really.
15:30Nope.
15:30You are into me.
15:31Head over heels.
15:33If you say so.
15:34I do.
15:35And just so you know.
15:36Feelings mutual.
15:38Drink later.
15:39With Ben and Sheepra?
15:40Hell no.
15:41I want you all for myself.
15:45Used to sort things out then.
15:47Sorry, what?
15:48You thinking Sheepra and Alex were vibing.
15:50I've copped myself on.
15:52Sheepra has, and I quote, zero interest in Alex.
15:55I'm slightly offended.
15:57She confirmed that?
15:58Yeah, earlier.
16:00So I'm still in with a chance.
16:04I'm not so sure that it's gonna work out.
16:06I didn't see much of a spark between you last night.
16:08How could we be?
16:10You two clinging on to us.
16:12Operation Solution here for you.
16:13It's still a go.
16:17Give me a few minutes to get change,
16:19and I'm gonna buy you lads a pint.
16:20Okay, you're on.
16:21Yeah.
16:23So, have you made your choices?
16:25What's it to be, the new menu?
16:27Classics.
16:28Fusion.
16:30Salvinos is not for sale.
16:32What?
16:33What, the auctioneer?
16:35Yeah.
16:36Paul's changing insurers.
16:37Needed evaluation.
16:39Well, that's some kick in the teeth, what?
16:42Just a bit.
16:44Well, I tell you, it was great to see you revved up about something.
16:47Yeah, for the first time in a long time, I was excited about the future.
16:51Well, you can pivot.
16:52As they say.
16:53Use all that enthusiasm.
16:55Down on hot pots.
16:56Change the menu there.
16:58Get a second van.
16:59Yeah.
17:00I could.
17:02But?
17:04The thought of that doesn't fill me with the same buzz, you know.
17:07It's not as ambitious as a new restaurant.
17:09Yeah.
17:10It's just the same old team.
17:12So, what's the dream now then?
17:16I have no idea.
17:21Oh, Mum and Dad were asking if I'd go to Brazil soon.
17:25You should.
17:26It'd be nice to see them.
17:29Would you consider maybe coming?
17:31It doesn't have to be a big deal.
17:32It's just a holiday.
17:34And Brazil is gorgeous.
17:36You could see the places I've talked about.
17:38You don't have to sell it to me, Eddie.
17:40I'd love to go.
17:41Or I could figure out the finances.
17:43It's just flights.
17:44We could stay with my parents.
17:45What if we save up for a couple of months and go at the end of the summer?
17:49Yeah.
17:50Our first foreign holiday ever.
17:54Guess what?
17:56Motorhead case are playing in town next week.
17:58Last minute addition to their tour dates.
18:00No way.
18:01Motorhead case?
18:02A motorhead tribute band from Leeds.
18:04They are unreal.
18:05I know heavy metal is not your thing, Eddie.
18:07But do you want to come?
18:07I'm in the queue to buy tickets now.
18:09Yes, definitely.
18:10I've been dying to see them live.
18:11If that's okay.
18:13Yeah, of course.
18:14Great.
18:15I'm in.
18:17Standing.
18:19Done.
18:20Amazing.
18:21I'll pay you tomorrow.
18:22I can't wait.
18:23Okay, I'll leave you to your drinks.
18:24See you in work?
18:25See you in work.
18:30I'm really sorry.
18:31I thought I was doing you a favor.
18:34I genuinely thought you wanted me to tell Hayley that having another secret was just too much for you.
18:40Look, all I did was land you in it with James.
18:44Like we haven't got enough tension in the house already.
18:47At least bringing things out into the open pushed James to be honest with Hayley.
18:52And apologize to you and Con.
18:55So are you saying I actually saved the day?
18:58I wouldn't go that far.
18:59But it ended well, so let's draw a line under it.
19:06Outside?
19:07Not yet.
19:09Oh, there they are.
19:12Hi.
19:16Thanks for coming.
19:17Well, you said it was important.
19:20I wanted to celebrate putting that whole ultimatum nonsense behind us.
19:25We're only staying for one mask out or something.
19:27Oh.
19:28It's a shame you couldn't stay for dinner earlier.
19:30Holly made a delicious meal for everyone.
19:32Well, I was just so glad that we sorted it.
19:35And that you were man enough to apologize for your behavior.
19:39Well, it's very mature, love.
19:41It's such a relief.
19:43I mean, I hate an atmosphere in the office, don't you?
19:46Yeah.
19:48Well, I hope that's the end of it now.
19:50We all have enough to be doing without fighting among ourselves as well.
19:53I meant it when I said clean slate.
19:55Well, we shook on it, didn't we?
19:57We did.
19:58And now we can move forward with things.
20:00I'm so excited about these new brochures.
20:02Oh, this rebrand is genius.
20:04People are going to be drooling over these houses.
20:07That's the plan.
20:08Well, it's great to finally have a marketing person
20:09who actually knows what they're doing.
20:11I'll get us all some fizz.
20:12No, please, let me.
20:14Not for me.
20:14I have something to take care of.
20:21Hi.
20:22Hello.
20:23Drink?
20:24No, Doug, got me one.
20:25As made.
20:27Um, Doug, could I have a word in private
20:30about that Passat job we were working on?
20:31There's nothing to talk about.
20:32I've finished it.
20:33Of course, I've collected it.
20:34Still, I've got a few follow-up questions.
20:38Right, yeah.
20:38Come on.
20:39Yeah.
20:40Excuse us.
20:41Yeah.
20:41Okay.
20:42Mm-hmm.
20:44Subtle as a crick.
20:46Uh-huh.
20:48It's a shame, um, we couldn't go to Scaries yesterday.
20:51Yeah, you never got back to me on that.
20:53Mm.
20:54My bad.
20:55It was a lovely evening for a walk on the beach.
20:58Yeah, it was.
20:59It's probably too late to go now, though.
21:01Yeah.
21:02We'd have missed the sunset.
21:04Mm.
21:05I mean, we could go back to mine, you know, and watch a film.
21:09Mm-hmm.
21:10Because Junior's on sleepover.
21:13Can I pick the food?
21:14Yes, as long as it's not too scary.
21:17Do you have any popcorn?
21:18Popcorn?
21:19No, I don't.
21:20But we could grab some on the way.
21:22Sounds like a plan.
21:23Mm-hmm.
21:29Nice one, that.
21:30Yeah, we should get into the matchmaking business, what?
21:33We make a fortune.
21:35Um, I'll give her a hand with the tricks.
21:42I can't handle this.
21:44We have to.
21:46I'll take the front of it.
21:48I'm happy to, for you and Scout.
21:50I should never have made you grovel.
21:52I thought it would calm things down and it made things ten times worse.
21:55She is loving every minute of this.
21:57I have to bite my tongue.
21:59We used to have money.
22:01Status.
22:02We answer to no one.
22:05I swear to you, on my life, we will have that again.
22:08I believe you.
22:10What do we do?
22:12Well, first up.
22:14Destroy Holly.
22:16Together.
22:30From.
22:44From.
22:55Fran.
22:57by we.
22:58From.
