00:20What happened to Buckley?
00:21I said we should keep our distance.
00:23Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can disappear and it's not let us know what's going on.
00:26We heard he released him without charge.
00:29Here you go. You're all up to speed.
00:31But you had a good old chat with him while you were in there though, did you?
00:34I didn't say a word.
00:36Then why did he let you go?
00:37I'm guessing it's because he doesn't have enough evidence.
00:41Or else you made a deal with him.
00:42Carol, this is what he wants. Create distrust. Divide and conquer.
00:47Why do you think the law is coming down on me like a ton of bricks?
00:50Because I had tis idiot son.
00:52I'm not grateful for that.
00:54Admit it. You enjoyed rubbing my nose in it. Getting me to shatter steel.
00:58And you, you used me to keep yourself at arm's length.
01:02But Buckley isn't a complete idiot.
01:04He knows that you had a hand in getting Steele out.
01:07He's only putting pressure on me to get at you.
01:09That sounds about right.
01:10No question. He told me so.
01:15And no, I didn't make a deal.
01:17But give me one good reason why I shouldn't drop you in it.
01:21What do you want?
01:23Buckley claims to have evidence that proves that Steele stayed with me.
01:26But if he did, why do you let me walk?
01:28He's bluffing.
01:30He's playing the long game.
01:32I need to know one way or another.
01:34We all do.
01:35I've asked Claire McSweeney to find out what she can.
01:37But she's limited to whatever her sources give her.
01:42You might have better luck though.
01:44What do you mean?
01:45One or two contacts in the Garda station?
01:48What makes you think I have that kind of reach?
01:50You better.
01:51For your own sake.
01:57Can you find anything out for her?
01:59If I could, I would have already.
02:05Thanks.
02:08Ah, there's a wicked mudder now.
02:10Oh, are you talking about the date?
02:14Junior lied to me.
02:16Okay?
02:17He lied to my face.
02:18He told me that he was meeting his mates
02:20when I knew he was meeting Kim.
02:23I can't stand for that.
02:25There has to be one adult in the room.
02:27And are you happy letting Kim there?
02:29We should get over it.
02:30Is that what you want?
02:32Give a child something to get over?
02:33Okay, I'm sorry, Dolores, but it's my decision.
02:35What do you think they're going to get up to?
02:37They're only kids.
02:38Exactly.
02:38They're too young.
02:39It's all very innocent.
02:41They really think there's nothing to worry about.
02:45Junior, well...
02:46Wayne was shy about telling his mom.
02:49That's normal.
02:50Especially when you react the way you did.
02:53Junior is a good kid.
02:55But I have to be able to trust him.
02:56So show him that you do and let him have his romance.
02:58He's not ready, Sean.
03:00Or you aren't.
03:03Either way, it's my call.
03:12What are you doing here?
03:13I was looking at ways we can cut down on spending.
03:16And I came across the PJ Kavanaugh invoices.
03:19The investigator?
03:20Yeah.
03:21He's pricey, isn't he?
03:21I thought I'd better look at them again.
03:23Just picking up these files for the Jenkins case.
03:26Is Kavanaugh worth it?
03:28He gets the job done.
03:30The tech side of things is expensive, whoever you use.
03:36Joe, I spoke to my source again.
03:39And I have some very interesting information for you.
03:52Hi.
03:53All right.
03:54So, what have you and Babs got planned for the rest of the day?
03:58Oh, yeah.
03:59Well, we'll probably meet up a bit later on.
04:00But I've got a few runs to do first.
04:02Oh.
04:03Will you be running past Carol at the station?
04:07What do you mean?
04:09Look at you.
04:11So I was right.
04:13I honestly don't know what you're talking about.
04:15I know you're keeping something from Babs.
04:18And I know it's not for the first time either.
04:20Sorry.
04:20How is that any of your business?
04:23I don't know how long I can tiptoe around a house with a weird atmosphere.
04:27Then take my advice and don't create one.
04:43They're not open yet.
04:45Unless you're going to arrest me again.
04:47How did you get caught up in this?
04:49Smart cookie like you.
04:51I'm not caught up in anything.
04:53Do yourself a favour.
04:54Let JJ Nash pay for his own mistakes.
04:57You shouldn't have to pick up the tan.
04:59Let me see if I got this right.
05:01You want me to confess to something I didn't do.
05:03And then you'll go easy on me if I blame someone else for a crime I know nothing about.
05:07I mightn't get Nash this time.
05:10But I'll get somebody, Jo.
05:12I promise you that.
05:14Thanks for that.
05:15We'll talk again.
05:16What?
05:18Keeps done for no, alright?
05:20I'll be seeing you.
05:23He's winding you up.
05:25He didn't come down the last shower, Jo.
05:28I know.
05:29But don't.
05:30I didn't trust you though.
05:35You wanted to know if Buckley made me an offer.
05:37Well, of course he did.
05:38I know that.
05:40Well, you saddled me with your problem.
05:42He was offering to take it off my hands.
05:43It made sense.
05:44What are you saying?
05:45I didn't think I was interested.
05:47But I was curious to see what he'd come up with.
05:49He came up short so you can relax.
05:52Aye, so you won't ride us out until it suits you.
05:55Did you find out anything for me?
05:57Not yet.
05:57I did.
05:59Clare McSweeney got back to me.
06:01She had it confirmed that they have CCTV footage.
06:05From where?
06:06The community centre.
06:07That's the wrong angle.
06:08That doesn't matter.
06:09Word is that it shows Steeo entering the house.
06:13Is it a goddess?
06:14You're sure about this?
06:15You're not listening.
06:17Steeo going into the house.
06:21On his own.
06:22I double checked with Clare.
06:24That's definitely what they claim to have.
06:25We were there with Steeo.
06:28Yeah, and if Buckley had that footage,
06:29he'd have hauled us all off long ago.
06:31So he's bluffing.
06:32Unless it's a lie to catch us off guard.
06:35Either way, it's time I stopped being your human shield.
06:38What do you suggest?
06:40This is between you and Buckley.
06:42Either take me out of the equation,
06:44or else I will.
06:53You think I was being unreasonable earlier, don't you?
06:56I never said that.
06:57You didn't have to.
06:59Look, I think Kim is a lovely kid.
07:01It's just...
07:03It's just the lying I can't stand.
07:06I remember when Wayne was about junior's age.
07:08Please untie me, he had a girlfriend.
07:10I was delighted when he suddenly developed this passion for chess.
07:14Chess?
07:15Wayne?
07:16They had a chess club after school every Tuesday afternoon.
07:19But he said that wasn't enough.
07:20He needed to practise with his friends on other afternoons
07:24and all day Saturday.
07:26Yeah, girl.
07:28Eventually, I found a neatly folded note
07:30covered in hearts and kisses.
07:31Me school bag.
07:34Trisha Hickey, that was her name.
07:36Wayne and Trish forever.
07:38Little chancer.
07:40Yeah, but I was obsessed.
07:42Just like you are.
07:43But you let them carry on?
07:44Well, no.
07:45I discussed it with our parents
07:46and we all agreed it was too soon.
07:49Just like you.
07:50Well, there you go then.
07:51Naturally, that turned us into ogres
07:52and them into Romeo and Juliet.
07:55Oh, there was sulking and slamming of doors.
07:58You'd think there was a scribbling love poem or two.
08:03Chess and poetry.
08:05Wish I met the 11-year-old Wayne.
08:07But the point is,
08:08forbidding them only built up the romance.
08:10They still managed to meet up in secret.
08:14Okay, so what did they do?
08:15We didn't find out until later.
08:17After they'd lost interest in each other,
08:20which didn't take long.
08:22So are you saying being a responsible parent
08:24just makes things worse?
08:26It's never easy to accept that your child has grown up.
08:29They pull away, they keep secrets.
08:32They take it from me,
08:34Wayne needed his mommy long after he'd forgotten
08:36Patricia Hickey.
08:47You've made a proper mess of our website.
08:50Didn't you get an IT guy in?
08:51It's glitching.
08:53Doesn't make any sense.
08:54Well, tell that to Clare.
08:55She's livid.
08:56We're still trying to work out what you've cost us.
08:59And we'll be coming after you for it soon.
09:00You know, I'm skint.
09:02You got me suspended from work.
09:04And with my record, any judge would try to bucket me.
09:07Tough.
09:09If the IT team were any good,
09:11fixing this site wouldn't be a big job.
09:13Okay.
09:14You wrecked it.
09:15Let's see if you can fix it.
09:17And the legal action?
09:19That depends.
09:21Are you willing to hack into another website?
09:23Why?
09:24Not interested?
09:25I don't know.
09:26Oh, I thought you'd be more than willing to oblige.
09:28In your position.
09:30Whose website do you want me to hack?
09:31I'll leave that to you.
09:33Meet me in the Hungry Pig at four,
09:35and you can talk me through how it's done.
09:37And the money you're coming after me for?
09:39Don't be late.
09:46Victor didn't come in there, no?
09:48No.
09:49I ran into him earlier.
09:51He said he did a few runs to do.
09:53Oh.
09:55You'd think he'd want to spend time with me at the weekends.
09:59Did he say who the jobs were for?
10:02No.
10:03Hope he's not too erect when he comes back.
10:06I was hoping we could go for a late lunch.
10:10You'd be more than welcome to join us.
10:12No, I'll just chill here, thanks.
10:15Are you sure now? The more the merrier.
10:17No, really.
10:20Hiya.
10:20Hi.
10:22Can you tell Lily that we would love if she came to lunch with us?
10:28Absolutely.
10:31You guys go ahead.
10:34Actually, I think I might go of a little lie down.
10:38Oh, okay.
10:47What was that about?
10:50What do you mean?
10:52Does she seem a bit off to you?
10:54I didn't notice.
10:56And what about earlier when you saw her? Did she...
10:59...say anything?
11:00No.
11:01Just, you know, chit-chat.
11:04Hmm.
11:05Well, I don't want her to be awkward around us.
11:07You've made her feel welcome.
11:09Yeah, I think so, perhaps, yeah.
11:11Yeah, well, obviously not enough.
11:13Look, I want to make a proper effort with her later on, okay?
11:17I want her to feel at home here.
11:19Right?
11:20Right, right. Okay.
11:25Come on in.
11:27Imagine my surprise, Gerald Lynch, a grass.
11:30Who'd have thought it?
11:32Your solicitor here?
11:34No.
11:36Why don't you tell me about JJ Nash's involvement in this fiasco?
11:40You can ask him yourself.
11:43I'm going to the shops.
11:46Be sure I'll lock up on your way out.
11:49I've seen a few sketchy types hanging around here lately.
11:57Detective.
11:59The kettle's on.
12:01Tea?
12:27So, this is where you reckon Steele was hiding out?
12:29I know he was.
12:31That's what your intelligence came up with, isn't it?
12:35You have evidence.
12:37I got a call from Steele.
12:39Well, he's not in the country anymore.
12:41Is that a fact?
12:43I must put out as you are.
12:46He's not around now.
12:47I believe that.
12:49But before he disappeared, he was seen here.
12:52I'll take a word for it.
12:53Where's he now?
12:54He didn't say.
12:56You didn't think to ask him?
12:58All he told me was he left the country on his own
13:00without help from family, friends or neighbours.
13:04Especially not Gerald Lynch.
13:07Spot on.
13:08Nice story.
13:09You seem determined to take her down for no reason.
13:12I'm looking at anyone involved.
13:14You've been trying to pin all manner of lawlessness on me for years now.
13:18Take it up with the ombudsman.
13:20And now you see a chance of getting me through my son.
13:24And you can't believe your luck.
13:25You're running out of road.
13:27And the sooner you realise that, the better.
13:31It's a bad move arresting Ger in the first place.
13:34If you are going to hold her.
13:35Do you reckon?
13:36Because now you've tipped your hand.
13:38I know you have nothing.
13:39We released Miss Lynch before we got some new CCTV footage.
13:44We arrested her.
13:49I didn't think so.
13:52Or bluffing.
13:54I know it.
13:56You know it.
13:57And most importantly, Ger knows it.
14:02Do you want to test that theory in court?
14:04What can I say?
14:05I'm feeling lucky.
14:07You're putting a lot on the line for that young fella.
14:11Hope it's worth it.
14:14Are you sure you won't have a cup?
14:16Ger Lynch hasn't always been so backward in coming forward.
14:20She can be very chatty when it suits her.
14:24It's not over.
14:26Let's face it.
14:28It never even started.
14:38I don't get it.
14:39There's nothing wrong with the website.
14:41There's no glitch.
14:42Walk away now.
14:43That woman is out to get you.
14:45She could call off the legal action.
14:47Did she say that?
14:49Even if there's a chance, I should go for it.
14:51If you're gonna demonstrate an illegal hack.
14:53A woman who's doing her best to ruin your life.
14:56And she's a lawyer.
14:58There's no way he's doing this.
15:00It's entrapment.
15:01Get you with your legalese.
15:03There's nothing wrong with your website.
15:05That was just a little fib to keep you focused.
15:07Time to go, Fergal.
15:09As if I'd let you near our website again.
15:12But I do want to hear more about your hacking skills.
15:15And if you're as good as you say you are,
15:17maybe we could talk about your debt.
15:20Sit down.
15:21I'll talk you through.
15:22I give up.
15:23You're a sucker.
15:29So, the software is evolving all the time.
15:32And you have to keep on top of that.
15:34And you do.
15:34Yeah, of course.
15:36But the hacker's most reliable tool is social engineering.
15:39Impersonation, trickery, building a false trust.
15:42Which would be your speciality.
15:45Software can always be hacked.
15:47But it's the user that always is the weakest link.
15:51All right, Huey.
15:56And you reckon you could hack into pretty much anyone's account?
16:01Here's Vino's new webpage.
16:03How did you do that?
16:05Paul's password was easy to work out.
16:07It's Ruthie in the year that she was born.
16:09Same for his emails and his socials.
16:11Take it down.
16:13I kinda like it.
16:17Done.
16:20You're quick.
16:22So?
16:24You still coming after me?
16:27Actually,
16:29I might have a job for you.
16:31Do you fancy being an investigator?
16:34What, for Howley's?
16:35For me.
16:37Interested?
16:39Which is the pay?
16:41You'd have to work off your debt.
16:43Sounds like slave labour.
16:44More like indentured servitude.
16:48Clare, are I right with this?
16:49She will be.
16:52Investigator?
16:53Mm-hmm.
16:56I'll do it.
16:59Welcome aboard.
17:01Fergal.
17:02That's my order.
17:03Oh, don't worry.
17:04I'll get it.
17:10Thanks.
17:11I'm not even gonna ask you.
17:13We're just chatting, that's all.
17:15You sure you know what you're doing?
17:17A little bit of research.
17:18With Fergal?
17:20I can't stop you.
17:21I thought you believed in giving people second chances, Huey.
17:24Yeah, he's had plenty of let-offs.
17:27I know what I'm doing.
17:28You always do.
17:30Don't you?
17:32I think he could turn out to be very useful.
17:35Are you trying to convince me?
17:37Or yourself?
17:44Now.
17:45Thanks.
17:48Listen, love.
17:48I know it's not easy, okay, when life throws new things at you.
17:53And you want to be independent, okay?
17:56And you think you can handle it on your own.
17:58And the last thing you want to do is talk to your man about these things.
18:04Sorry, what?
18:06All I'm saying is that if you ever need to talk, then I'm here for you, okay?
18:09Yeah.
18:10Okay.
18:11Oh, look.
18:12It's Kim.
18:13Go and join them.
18:14Why?
18:15It's fine.
18:16Look, I know about the two of you.
18:17No, ma'am.
18:18Don't do this.
18:19Oh, don't be silly.
18:20Come on.
18:20I love that my little man has grown up.
18:22Ma'am, don't embarrass me.
18:23Oh, I like Kim.
18:24I really do.
18:25Please.
18:25I just want to talk to her, that's all.
18:27Please.
18:28Just stop it.
18:28I'm just going to go over and say hi.
18:31Hiya's.
18:31Hiya.
18:32Hey, Kim.
18:35I was just wondering if you would like to come over to ours for a movie night.
18:40Ma'am.
18:41No thanks.
18:42No, it's fine.
18:42You don't have to be shy, love, okay?
18:43It'll be a lovely night.
18:45Ma'am, we're not going out with each other anymore.
18:47What?
18:48Awkward.
18:50We still see each other as friends, but that's it.
18:53Maybe that's for the best.
18:55The chemistry just wasn't there.
18:58Oh, yeah.
18:59Well, I mean, it's not there, you know.
19:04I love my football.
19:06Alright.
19:07Do you want your badge back?
19:09Yeah, you can keep it if you want.
19:11Thanks.
19:14They're even more adorable when they're splitting up.
19:17I'm sorry that I was so down on them.
19:20Yeah, it's alright.
19:21They were lovely together, but my Kim is very choosy.
19:35Did it work out the way you want it?
19:38He's got nothing.
19:39Does that mean he's going to stop coming after me?
19:41JJ stepped up for you today.
19:43What more do you want?
19:44Buckley's taking his best shot.
19:46And he blew it.
19:47That doesn't mean he'll give up.
19:49He will.
19:50Anyway, it's me he's after.
19:51He made that very clear.
19:52I could still end up being collateral damage.
19:55We'll all be okay.
19:56As long as we don't do anything stupid.
19:59Do you think you can manage that?
20:01All for one.
20:03That's not something I ever signed up for.
20:06But if it means we close Buckley down,
20:09sure.
20:11We're in the clear.
20:12You'll see.
20:16Give us an Irish G&T, right?
20:27Hiya.
20:29Hi.
20:30Sit down.
20:32How was lunch?
20:34We need to get something straight.
20:36Okay.
20:38It's about you staying here.
20:42Victor and I have been talking and it's only fair to let you know that, em, we love having you
20:49here and we want you to feel right at home.
20:52Hope you like Indian.
20:53Hope you like Indian.
20:55What is this?
20:57Well, I've barely seen you and anytime we do talk it's just so you can pass messages between me and
21:02Vic, so.
21:04So we thought it was about time we gave you a proper welcome.
21:06I was trying to work out what I've done to annoy you.
21:10She was winding you up.
21:12I want you to feel very much at home here.
21:15And so say all of us.
21:17So I'm going to go upstairs and pack while you serve up, yeah?
21:20And I'll be back down to you's in a minute, okay?
21:22Okay.
21:29You were asking if I kept secrets from Babs.
21:34I'm going to mind my own business.
21:36You were suspicious about me and JJ.
21:40And you were right.
21:42He's more than a client.
21:45I guess it's because of Taylor.
21:47I'm the kid's granddad.
21:49And so is JJ.
21:51We used to get together to coordinate family visits, outings, that sort of thing and we kind of just bonded
21:55from that.
21:57And there's a very simple reason that I don't go on about him much in front of Babs.
22:02It's because of Steejo.
22:04Taylor's dad.
22:06JJ's son.
22:08Babs can't stand him.
22:10Never could.
22:13I was thinking you and Carol.
22:17Carol?
22:18Seriously?
22:20Somebody's been telling tales.
22:23No, I mean it's true.
22:24I have been unfaithful in the past.
22:28Me and Babs split for a while.
22:30And I finally woke up to what I've been missing.
22:34I thought it was too late.
22:36And I realised what a fool I was.
22:38Slow learner.
22:40I've not always been top of the class myself.
22:45Thanks for telling me.
22:47No problem.
22:49Right.
22:49I'll get a place.
22:57You alright little jack in the box aren't you?
23:00Springing up all the time.
23:04You and JJ dreaming up another hilarious prank?
23:08Get lost.
23:09You think I'm that easy to get rid of?
23:11I don't think of you at all.
23:13I never had you down as a risk taker.
23:15I'm not.
23:17But your best bud JJ is.
23:19Or has been lately.
23:21Worse than that.
23:22He's getting careless.
23:24He must have seen that.
23:26Whether it's his relationship with Carol Foley or young Steel's antics.
23:29He's taken the eye off the ball.
23:31And when you're laundering as much money as he is.
23:33You can't afford to lose concentration.
23:35It's only a matter of time before we nail him.
23:37What has any of this got to do with me?
23:39I liked your little son today.
23:41Very clever.
23:43Thanks.
23:43But you know it puts you squarely on Team Nash.
23:46I'm not done with JJ not by a long shot.
23:48I promise you he'll go down sooner or later.
23:51And after today's little performance, when that happens, you go right down with him.
24:19We will take care.
24:21Thanks.
24:33You've been waiting for now.
24:34You're welcome.
24:35We will be here for next week.
24:36We will be here for today's little performance.
24:37I'm so sorry.
24:39I'll never wait for you.
24:39You're welcome.
