00:12Now, sorry about the delay, but Zoe is out on deliveries, and I am on my own.
00:17Where's Dean?
00:18Probably halfway up a mountain.
00:20Can't wait for this iron gauntlet to be over, so I'd actually get a day off.
00:23Was this yesterday's?
00:25No.
00:27Look at that. That's hard as a rock.
00:29Peace.
00:30I mean, you could take someone out with that, eh?
00:32Watch it. We'll stop.
00:34We'll stop giving out about a feud in front of our customers.
00:36We're on our own here today, and you're giving her grief.
00:39There's only one answer to that. Hire more people.
00:41Oh, yeah, yeah, just for a couple of weeks until Dean is out of his lycra.
00:44Why didn't I think of that?
00:49Where are you up?
00:50Into town with Saj and Olivia.
00:52How are you getting on with the books for the garage?
00:55The accountant said he wants them at the end of the week.
00:58Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all in hand.
01:00Good.
01:01Yeah.
01:02And please, don't insult anyone else until I get back.
01:10See you.
01:10Oh, see you, Dolores.
01:12He needs to touch the brass.
01:14Oh, look, he's not wrong, OK?
01:15Between Junior, this place, Tiny Tours, I just can't keep up.
01:18Right.
01:20Hey, hey, hey, sorry.
01:22Would you like me to stick that in the oven for you, or would you prefer if it's stuck
01:26it somewhere else?
01:27No, thanks.
01:29I've decided to keep it as a weapon, in case I ever get burgled.
01:33Could he be any more rude?
01:35You know, I'm so busy, it doesn't even touch the sides.
01:37Do you want a coffee?
01:37Yeah.
01:37OK.
01:40Good man, Milo.
01:41Good lad.
01:42Here, here, watch your knees.
01:44Can we talk?
01:46Now is not a good time.
01:48That draft email to Conn with Holly's private pictures.
01:53I held me hands up, OK?
01:56I apologise to Holly.
01:57We're not raking over this again.
01:59I wish we didn't have to.
02:01It's awful how she's cornered you into picking sides.
02:04Is this a concern for me, or a pitch to keep a roof over your head?
02:09Holly has always hated our guts.
02:12Right, this outrage over a picture that wasn't even sent.
02:16That's just an excuse to finally get rid of us.
02:18Please tell me you can see that.
02:21Pathetic.
02:21No more fighting.
02:22I can't bear it.
02:24Well, there's an easy answer for that.
02:25Boot them out.
02:27Giving you orders in your own home now?
02:29You aren't this close to getting hauled in front of a garter station right now.
02:31You haven't a hope in hell of making anything stick, and you know it.
02:35Oh, please, enough.
02:36Both of you.
02:39My floor.
02:40A mile over.
02:41Hi.
02:43Look, I'm...
02:45I'm going to go out.
02:46Just, um...
02:48Clean that mess up.
02:55Gran's just having a bad day.
02:57Let's get your hands washed.
03:01You pair better start packing your bags.
03:08Did you check Mum's temperature?
03:10Yeah.
03:11Still on the fence.
03:13Okay, that's good.
03:15We've got the threat of being thrown out hanging over us.
03:18How is that good, James?
03:19Because Mum hates conflict.
03:21She'll ignore Holly's ultimatum until it goes away.
03:23Just like everything else.
03:24Except Holly won't let go.
03:26She'll keep pushing.
03:28Let her.
03:29Mum's like the Hoover Dam.
03:30No.
03:32No, we cannot take that chance.
03:34If Holly's in her ear, we need to fight our corner too.
03:39I'll try to talk to her.
03:41Good.
03:42Do it today.
03:45It's 20 euro cheaper, each if we enter as a team of four.
03:50It's a good deal.
03:51Hey, lads.
03:51Hey.
03:52Come here, I saw your message in the group chat about resale tickets four.
03:56Do you want to go on there?
03:57Team of four though, not three.
03:59And the resale closes at eight tonight if we want in.
04:02So basically, we need one more to join the no limits team by eight.
04:07Now don't pour some to flame.
04:09But Fergal might do it.
04:10You for real?
04:11But who else are we going to find by tonight?
04:12Fergal's in, I'm out.
04:14We could ask Sean.
04:15No.
04:16No, we train in the evenings and we're working in the station.
04:18It's not really that free.
04:20Oh, what about Max?
04:21Didn't he say he does it every year?
04:23What do you think, God?
04:25The guy's fit.
04:26He practically lives in the gym.
04:28Great then.
04:29OK.
04:30Max.
04:31Yes or no, he might be our only option.
04:34He seems hard-cut.
04:35Are you sure he want to slum it with the likes of us?
04:38I know how to deal with Max.
04:39You leave him to me.
04:40Right, I see it.
04:41See you later.
04:41Bye, child.
04:42Care.
04:43Hey.
04:44You know, the councillor trying to downsize me.
04:50No.
04:51No, it's just a suggestion.
04:53They can't actually force you.
04:54Well, there was a woman two doors up from me and they tried it on her.
04:57And they found out that her husband had bitten the dust.
04:59You do know there is a housing crisis.
05:01So?
05:02So you're living in a gaff that's much too big for you.
05:04Oh, you want to kick me out of me home too?
05:06No, that's not what I'm saying.
05:06But all I'm saying is, a smaller place might be easier to manage.
05:10I'm happy where I am.
05:13Do you know, there's a new scheme of going up by the gym.
05:15It's age-friendly.
05:17A community of people like yourself.
05:19Sounds like the village of the damned.
05:22Just talk to the council about it, at least.
05:25Hey.
05:26Council visit?
05:28They bring me out in sweats.
05:30What would you know about council visits?
05:31I was in me friend's gaff before when she got one.
05:35But your man was like Columbo snooping around the place.
05:39I hope you've nothing to hide.
05:42It'll be fine.
05:44Okay?
05:49Is there no peace?
05:51I came to see how you are.
05:53I'm wonderful, James.
05:54My whole family is tearing itself apart.
05:58Look, I'm sorry things have gotten so ugly.
06:01Meanwhile, your father has done his usual disappearing act,
06:04leaving me stuck in the middle.
06:07Looking for this?
06:10I have work to do.
06:12How am I supposed to concentrate with all this going on?
06:14What is it?
06:15It's a pitch for the golf club revamp.
06:18My friend, Lizzie, put me forward for the job.
06:21Ah.
06:22The one who went up against you for the ladies' club captain?
06:24And won?
06:25I was never really that interested.
06:27She and Cathy will be here any minute.
06:29You need to tell Holly to sling her ultimatum.
06:32James.
06:32She's already run rings around you and Dad.
06:34She's trying it again.
06:36Not a word about any of this.
06:38Cathy, Lizzie, hello.
06:40Emma.
06:41Hi.
06:41Welcome.
06:42Nice to see you.
06:43Nice to see you.
06:44You remember my son, James?
06:46James, how are you?
06:47Hiya.
06:48What's your handicap these days?
06:49Oh, probably two kids under the age of seven.
06:53No, James is far too busy for golf.
06:56He has his job, his family.
06:58He is doing wonderfully.
06:59You said all of you are living together with his ex?
07:02Yes.
07:02One big, happy, blended family.
07:04I couldn't do it.
07:05You're a wonder, Emma.
07:07Did you bring the cup?
07:09The club didn't want to lend it out.
07:11I had to put on my lady captain's voice and pull rank.
07:13Oh, the 1942 Ladies Northside Challenge Cup.
07:18It's been in the club's possession for 50 years.
07:21I am designing my entire pitch around it.
07:23We can't wait to see what you've done.
07:25But I thought we were meeting at yours.
07:28Oh, the house is a little busy right now, but it's fine.
07:31We can work here.
07:32The cup shouldn't be in a public place.
07:34It's a bit noisy, too.
07:36Fine.
07:37We'll, um, we'll go to mine.
07:39Great.
07:46And all of you, stay on my way.
07:54Yeah, I'll be your tour guide, so, um, I'll see you tomorrow.
07:57Okay, Grace, thanks, bye.
07:59Hey.
08:00Oh, another fully booked tour.
08:02Nice.
08:03Yeah, except I may have to clown myself, because I'm also rusted in here, too.
08:07Don't worry.
08:08Help has arrived.
08:09What?
08:11You?
08:12Yeah, a little bird told me you need to dig out over the next few weeks.
08:15And what about the station?
08:17Ah, between Andy and Lorcan, we're covered.
08:19No chance of extra few shifts to bump up the savings account.
08:22Aw, Sean, this is amazing.
08:24And you are getting lunch on the house.
08:26Who, me?
08:27Yeah, as a thank you for organising Sean to help me out.
08:31She didn't.
08:32You said it was a little bird.
08:34Yeah, Pete.
08:36Pete?
08:36Yeah, he sent a text around, I jumped in.
08:39What, did he not mention it?
08:41Eh, no.
08:41Well, why would he put himself out like that?
08:43Because under his burrish exterior lies a hard to go.
08:46Eh, don't be ridiculous.
08:48I'd make a wonder, wouldn't I?
08:49Yeah.
08:51Oh, I like you.
08:54Pete?
08:57Thank you very much.
08:59Cheers.
09:02Max.
09:04Look, we had a lot of competition, but we've decided to offer you the final spot in our team.
09:10Thanks, but I'll pass.
09:13You're not even going to consider it?
09:14All right.
09:15I prefer to go with solo.
09:16My goals are pretty high.
09:18Yeah, so are ours.
09:20Obviously, you're in great shape.
09:22Fuck Doug.
09:23Dean.
09:23No, no, no.
09:24My boys are in top condition.
09:26Look, see for yourself.
09:28We're training tonight.
09:29I'll leave you to it.
09:30Not a team player.
09:31Fair enough.
09:34When did I say I wasn't a team player?
09:35I'm just hearing a lot of eyes and not wheeze, and that's not really what we're going for,
09:39so thank you anyway.
09:41If a team's good enough, I can get fully behind it.
09:44Look, I can't make any promises, but we'll give you a try out if you want.
09:48What time are you training at?
09:50Six.
09:50In the gym.
09:52I'll see you then.
09:53And I'm training you out.
09:59Nicky, can you please not wind me up about the council visit?
10:03She's nervous enough as it is.
10:04Well, it's the council I feel sorry for.
10:07I got a visit from the council.
10:08About the boiler.
10:10Listen, talk up a smaller place if they try to give her a nudge.
10:13What smaller place?
10:14They gave her a leaflet about downsizing.
10:16You serious?
10:17Yeah, I think she might be lonely since you moved out.
10:19Aw.
10:20It might be the best thing for her.
10:24This can't happen.
10:25Well, they can't force it on you.
10:27And why do you care anyway?
10:28You don't live there anymore.
10:30No, but my name is still on the Tennessee.
10:33You didn't change it when you moved into mine.
10:35I didn't know if it was going to work out.
10:37Look, loads of people leave their name on after they move out.
10:40It's a safety net.
10:41Yeah, exactly.
10:42If Joan decides to sell in the morning, at least I'll have somewhere to go.
10:45And if he's caught?
10:46Well, it could trigger an investigation.
10:49You just had loads of people keep their name on tenancies.
10:51Yeah, but the thing is not to get found out.
10:53So make up a bed, leave some things around, it'd be grand.
10:55That's too risky.
10:56What if they figure it out?
10:58Well, have you a better idea?
11:01I'm just not losing my spot on that house.
11:06What's that, Yuck?
11:08Oh, some prehistoric golf club.
11:11I spoke to Mum.
11:13And?
11:15Turning the screws in her isn't going to work.
11:21Oh, you are unbelievable.
11:25Just a little thank you to Emma for all the support after what you two did.
11:29No, as if you weren't sending out nudes to any fellow who asked back in the day.
11:32But now you're traumatised.
11:35Just leave it.
11:35Don't even try.
11:37Emma sees you for the low life that you were.
11:39So.
11:40You're delusional, Holly.
11:42If you think she's going to choose a blackmailing scrubber over her own son and his wife.
11:48You sound scared.
11:50Of you.
11:52You tried to get me slung out by Emma if I didn't testify against Mondo.
11:55Now you know what it feels like.
11:57Okay, you want to dig that up?
11:58Let's talk about your part in Lorcan being spied.
12:01No.
12:02Let's wait till Emma's here.
12:04So bitter and twisted.
12:07Must be Mondo getting off scot-free for killing your da.
12:11Really screwed with your head.
12:14What did you just say?
12:15Hayley.
12:16Go away from me.
12:18You get out of here before I batter you.
12:20And take it.
12:21She flurries with you.
12:29Hi.
12:44Thanks.
12:44It was her.
12:45All right, she was rubbing it in about Mondo getting off.
12:48Stop.
12:49I was here.
12:49I heard it all.
12:50I might add attempted assault to your list of charges.
12:52Tell your wife to get a grip.
12:55She's not my wife.
12:56Only in hell.
12:57The cup is ruined.
12:58The golf committee is going to go ballistic.
13:00Well, you can sell the bill to her.
13:02If you start on me again, Holly, I swear I will mince your face.
13:06Enough, both of you.
13:09How could you?
13:12In my home?
13:13I have guests.
13:15We were trying to work.
13:16Maybe I can fix the cup.
13:17Let me have a look.
13:18Don't touch it, James.
13:19I was just trying to help.
13:21You know, you've done enough damage for one day.
13:22Mum.
13:24No, no, get out of my sight.
13:26All of you.
13:41Just got a tenner tip.
13:44You are a natural.
13:47Ah, there you are.
13:49Great to see you.
13:50You were able to take a break now.
13:51Your staff and issues have been sorted.
13:53Yeah, all down to you, I hear.
13:54Well, I realised I might have been a bit rude earlier, so I thought I'd make it up to you.
14:00Oh, that's very sweet.
14:02Paula was saying you were moaning about the scones.
14:05Ah, moaning is a very strong word, Sean.
14:07I'd call it giving honest feedback.
14:09Oh, well, listen, I am touched.
14:10And to be frank, I did think maybe you had an ulterior motive, but then I thought, you
14:14know, no, Pete would never stoop that low.
14:18No, no, no.
14:22Sorry, was there something else?
14:25Actually, I do have a little favour to ask.
14:28Ah, there you go.
14:29I'm a bit behind on the books for the accountant.
14:34Well, now that you have some time on your hands, I wonder, maybe you could throw your eye
14:38over them?
14:39You are doing so well, Pete.
14:42Come on, come on.
14:43It's so bad to help each other out.
14:45A little bit of quid pro quo, yeah?
14:47No, no, no, I agree.
14:48And I would love to, but the problem is, Sean, is that now I feel manipulated, because he
14:55was.
14:55He was out of order this morning.
14:58I wonder, would an apology help?
15:00Well, we could certainly try.
15:05All right.
15:06I'm sorry for being rude this morning, and I very much regret it.
15:10Beautiful.
15:11But if you could possibly see a way to helping me out this afternoon, well, I'd really appreciate
15:17it.
15:17You see, Pete, it's not so hard to be nice.
15:20Thanks, Orla.
15:21Okay, I'll be over once I've finished my break.
15:24Thank you, Orla.
15:25You're welcome.
15:27Thanks.
15:29Now, Sean, when you're finished there, you can polish my halo.
15:39Well, it's nice of you to bother with me.
15:41It's been weeks.
15:43Been busy.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Mr. Important.
15:48About this, er, council visit.
15:51So that's what has you crawling out from under your stone?
15:54Gar said that they might suggest a downsize.
15:57They'll have to crowbar me out.
15:59Yeah, well, you needn't worry, because I'm going to move back in.
16:03To the house?
16:04Till the visit's over.
16:06Oh?
16:07Well, they see me there, they'll leave you alone.
16:09Oh, don't pretend this is about me.
16:12You just want to make sure that you're in line for the place when I croak it.
16:17My name is on that, Tennessee.
16:19I've always paid my way.
16:20I'm entitled.
16:21It's too late.
16:23You made your bed with that Gwen one.
16:24Well, now you're just being stupid.
16:26If they figure out that I don't live there, could start the whole investigation.
16:29You really want to bring us both under the spotlight?
16:34Well, you have to bring your own sheets and towels.
16:38Fine.
16:39And food.
16:39I'm not buying in stuff for you.
16:41I can cook for meself.
16:42You'll be cooking for me.
16:44What?
16:45I fancy a steak tonight.
16:47You must be joking.
16:49With peppercorn sauce.
16:50And tiramisu for afters.
16:53I'll be home at six.
16:59Here we go.
17:02You must be laughing at me.
17:04For all those stories about my perfect family.
17:09Well, you did bang on a bit.
17:12The truth is, it's been nothing but aggravation since they all moved in.
17:19Fights, backstabbings, kids screaming.
17:21Let it all out.
17:22I've tried to keep the peace.
17:24But no matter what I do, they all seem intent on tearing each other apart.
17:29Drink up.
17:30You'll feel better.
17:33Found a place in swords that will repair the cup.
17:35They want a kidney.
17:37Emma's in a crisis here.
17:39All of this is even affecting my work.
17:42Tell me honestly what you thought about my mood board for the clubhouse.
17:46It was like a cat threw up.
17:47Lizzie, she needs to stop crying.
17:50How long have we known you now?
17:52Maybe too long.
17:54When have we ever seen you put up with this nonsense before?
17:57Look, I know it looks bad, but this is different.
17:59They're family.
18:00They're feral.
18:01I'm sorry to say it, Emma.
18:02You've let it happen.
18:04I may have allowed things to rattle out of shape.
18:06It can still be fixed.
18:08This is your house we're talking about.
18:11You don't have to put up with it.
18:14You're right.
18:15Time to show that lot who's boss.
18:20You see those shutters?
18:21They're closed.
18:23We open at half-eight tomorrow morning.
18:25Not a second before, so you can come back then.
18:29Yeah, have a nice day.
18:34Oh.
18:36Absolute neck.
18:37Look at her.
18:38Yes.
18:39I'm sitting here doing Pete's books.
18:40She marches in.
18:42She wants to know when her car is ready.
18:43Well, you certainly told her.
18:45You know what, Ciara, it is a Sunday.
18:46We are closed.
18:47And I have had it up to here when people have been rude to me today.
18:50Yeah, I heard you got an apology from Pete.
18:52Yeah, well, I'm on a mission.
18:53It don't matter some people.
18:55Well, I'm still going to be doing us books.
18:57Listen, I'm sitting here in a nice, warm office.
19:00No customers.
19:02And...
19:03Peace and quiet.
19:05Yeah, I suppose.
19:06Yeah, don't forget that Junior is going to have a stake in this place one day.
19:10And also, Pete's sums don't really add up.
19:13I'm surprised he's not looking over your shoulder.
19:15Yeah, well, he knows better.
19:16Do you know what, one of these days he's going to annoy the wrong person, and then he'll be sorry.
19:20Oh, here's hoping.
19:22Go on, look, I'll see you later.
19:23Yeah, go on, have a good day.
19:30Now, Anita, if you sign this, Fergo will be with you in a minute.
19:34Thanks.
19:37Yeah, gosh, I was one of them energy drinks there, bro, will you?
19:41Nice one.
19:44Oh, man, me quads.
19:46Yeah, you nearly killed us in there.
19:48Well, let's just hope it was enough to impress Max.
19:50What?
19:51The chap was barely over it.
19:52Exactly.
19:53Imagine if we got him on the team.
19:54We could absolutely smash it.
19:56Or do I try, am I?
19:58Perk up.
20:00Hey.
20:01Hey, how was the burner?
20:03Yeah, well, we're just getting warmed up.
20:05We usually wind down with a 5K run.
20:07Right.
20:08Thanks, but I'm planning a half marathon in the morning meself, so I've got to keep some of the powder
20:12dry.
20:13Well, the lads agree.
20:16If you want to join the team, you're in.
20:18Well, I enjoyed the session.
20:20More fun than slogging it out on your own.
20:22Exactly.
20:23Now, obviously, there's a lot of work to be done for the competition.
20:28But us?
20:30But there's time yet, and I enjoy a challenge, so, yeah, sign me up.
20:35Ah, fantastic.
20:36I've got to run.
20:37I'll catch you soon, yeah?
20:38Yeah.
20:39See ya.
20:41I'm sure there's enough room on the team for him and Ego.
20:45He loves himself.
20:46Just give him a chance.
20:47It's just going to be great.
20:55Well.
20:57Well.
20:59What's the story about you moving back in with your soon-to?
21:02It's only for a few days, so I can keep my name on the tenancy.
21:06Screw the tenancy.
21:07You'll be back five minutes and it'll all kick off again.
21:09Oh?
21:10Because I won't let it.
21:11Fergal, you've moved on.
21:13Why not let her move on as well?
21:15That's easy for you to say.
21:17You own your flat.
21:19That house is the only security that I have.
21:22You're making a mistake.
21:28Hello.
21:28I've already had the big brother lecture.
21:30I don't need one from you two.
21:32Well, I actually just came by to give you this.
21:37It's the, uh, Jacinta survival kit.
21:41Ear plugs?
21:42To drown out her snoring.
21:43Or just her voice.
21:46Nice.
21:47That's for her.
21:48Not you.
21:49But her up.
21:50She's already getting a steak dinner.
21:52She's not getting this, too.
21:54Are you sure that this is worth the pain?
21:57It's just for a couple of days.
21:59And there's plenty of time for her to get inside your head.
22:02I'm ready for her.
22:04That was never a happy house.
22:06You seriously think that someday you want to go back there?
22:10My ma has never given me a single thing apart from a roof over my head.
22:14I'm not going to lose that.
22:16No matter what it takes.
22:21Come on in.
22:23Milo, too.
22:27What's this about?
22:28You wanted me to make a decision.
22:30And I have.
22:32We're sorry about earlier.
22:34Yeah.
22:34But things got out of hand.
22:35Milo, hand these out, please.
22:38I want you all to read and memorise.
22:41What is it?
22:43New house rules.
22:45Effective immediately.
22:46The den is off bounds after 8pm.
22:49I need my own space.
22:50Any toys left lying around the kitchen will incur a fine.
22:53What?
22:54Don't worry, Gran.
22:55It's just joking.
22:56No, I'm not.
22:57You've turned my home into a pigsty.
23:00I love you, Milo.
23:01But yes, even you.
23:03What?
23:03Kid free spaces.
23:05A deep clean and roll.
23:06We can't live like this.
23:07Well, then you know what you can do.
23:09This is Lizzie and Cathy.
23:11Every time you hang out with them, you go crazy.
23:13Yeah, James is right.
23:14I'm with a charity fashion show.
23:16You nearly came to blows.
23:17I don't recall asking any of you for your opinion.
23:19Oh, come on.
23:20This is ridiculous.
23:21I took all of you in.
23:23I gave your children a roof over their heads.
23:26And my thanks is to be turned into a full-time referee.
23:29This is all your fault.
23:31You and your stupid ultimatum.
23:33Well, I'm giving you one now.
23:35Follow my rules.
23:36Or get the hell out of my house.
23:45We showed them the boiler.
23:46Let them see that I'm living here, too,
23:48so they shut up about the right sizing
23:49and send them on their way.
23:51We're just about to drop a scout into crash.
23:53Are you OK to pick them up this afternoon?
23:55No.
23:56A review for the garage.
23:58It's terrible.
23:59The manager I met
24:00had the people's skills of an undertaker.
24:03You've had no heating.
24:04Or how are?
24:05I've been having to live with this, not you.
24:08You don't know the first thing about that boiler.
24:11I thought you said you lived here, too.
