00:20STELLA
00:20Estella, that was lovely. Take care of yourself, right?
00:27Our cloak.
00:29Alright.
00:45Let me get this clear. You two lured Hayley and Holly here.
00:49We didn't lure.
00:50Hayley was here to sign that partnership agreement. Did she do that?
00:53No.
00:54No, in fact, you tore the contract up, yes?
00:57Yes.
00:58And Holly was here to extend the term of her employment. Did that happen?
01:02No.
01:03No.
01:03So, false pretenses. Melanie, you're the budding lawyer, apparently.
01:09Would you agree? False pretenses?
01:11Take your time.
01:13It could be put that way, and will be put that way, against you, in court.
01:20I bet you didn't think of that before.
01:21I bet you didn't think.
01:24So, you lured them to the office, and you accused them of what?
01:28Remind me again?
01:30Working together.
01:32Well, that's what we thought at first.
01:34That Hayley paid Holly to make a false statement.
01:36Yeah, but now we think that Hayley has something on Holly.
01:38Why?
01:39Because Holly swore that Hayley didn't pay her, and we believed her.
01:42So, it's something else. Blackmail.
01:44Oh, good.
01:45So, they're working together because Hayley is blackmailing Holly?
01:50Yes.
01:51Oh, right.
01:52Or they're working together because they're secret lovers, or long-lost cousins, or no, they're members of a cult sworn
01:57to protect each other.
01:58Stop. Okay?
01:59No, why? I haven't even gotten to mind control or aliens, because what you're talking about, if you have no
02:05proof, it's a theory, and it carries as much weight as the theories I came up with.
02:09So, where is your proof?
02:13We thought we could rattle them, and they would spill.
02:18How could you do this?
02:19No, I made her do this.
02:21She has a mind of her own.
02:23That's why people hire lawyers.
02:25To stop them doing themselves damage.
02:29How much damage?
02:31If we're lucky, they won't bring this up in court.
02:34They might think it muddies the waters.
02:37And if we're not lucky?
02:39Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this man and his conspiracy theories.
02:45It wasn't conspiracy.
02:46His paranoia.
02:47His threats.
02:48I didn't threaten anybody.
02:49His shouting.
02:50That didn't happen.
02:51Losing his temper.
02:58Did she quit?
03:00What?
03:02Holly, after you accused her of taking money from Hayley to lie about you, did she quit?
03:08No.
03:09You're sure?
03:10After she left, she didn't say anything like, I'm out of here, or that's the last you'll see of me.
03:15Anything like that?
03:15No, she just left.
03:16I mean, she was pretty angry.
03:18Because yesterday, when you found out she was the one who made the statement against you,
03:23and you wanted to fire her, and we said it was a bad idea.
03:27Melanie, why is it a bad idea?
03:30We want her to stay in the job so that we can make the point that she's happy to work
03:33for someone that she alleges made threats against Anto.
03:39If she doesn't show up today, if she's walked, that's bad.
03:50Coffee and pastries for breakfast.
03:53Imagine you're in Madrid.
03:54Oh, there's a phrase.
03:56You know, I was there years ago.
03:59I was having breakfast, and it was the easy Spanish business, and then we're there in their seats in their
04:03briefcases.
04:04They're in the cafe having coffee and churros.
04:07Now, that's a deep-fried pastry that you have with sugar, or you can have it with chocolate if you
04:12prefer.
04:13Yeah, maybe you're in Glasgow with a Mars bar.
04:16So I thought, why not?
04:19But I'm going to tell you something.
04:20You should think about churros.
04:23Now, there's another phrase.
04:26Sorry.
04:27Oh, excuse me.
04:29Dean, where are you?
04:31I'm in Arclough.
04:34Listen, I've had to call Roadster assistance to something up with Paul's car.
04:40What?
04:41I don't know. It's steam.
04:43Overheating.
04:45Fella said it's a thermostat housing or something anyway.
04:49He needs a new part.
04:50Fella said it could be three days before he gets it.
04:53No, no, no, no, no, no.
04:54Paul's car cannot be stuck in Arclough for three days.
04:57You need to get it back here.
04:58Okay, well, then I'm going to have to get a toad.
05:00Well, then get a toad.
05:02Sure.
05:05Get a toad to the gastropark.
05:07You can just get a toad straight to the garage.
05:09Dean, you never borrowed the car, remember?
05:13The car was never in Arclough.
05:15So get a toad to the gastropark, unhitch your Toppots van,
05:19and then give me a call and I will bring it to the garage.
05:22Okay, okay.
05:23Come here.
05:26Arclough was pretty good.
05:28As soon as you can, Dean.
05:34I put in two sugars. Did you not notice?
05:37I always have two sugars.
05:38Yeah, well, from yesterday we've been cutting them out.
05:42Help.
05:42I notice when there's none.
05:44I always have two.
05:45I put them in special.
05:48Special why?
05:49Positive reinforcement, because of the test.
05:52Now you're associating with something sweet.
05:55You'd be looking to get your blood pressure checked every day.
05:59No, I won't.
06:01Nikki, you must eliminate the negative.
06:04I'd like to eliminate that coat.
06:06That's crazy.
06:08Well, Jacinta said it and you agreed.
06:11White coat syndrome.
06:12You see the white coat, the doctor, you get the fear.
06:15This way, you get used to it.
06:18But you're not a doctor.
06:19Well, it's called flooding.
06:21If you're afraid of spiders, you get into a bath full of spiders.
06:26That's horrible.
06:27Yeah, it is a bit.
06:28Can we stop talking about this now?
06:30How much?
06:31A hundred and seventy.
06:33Wow, Jetboy 353 went up by twenty.
06:36Because I did, because you told me to.
06:38Crush him.
06:39Remember?
06:40Hold on.
06:41You're the one who said crush him?
06:42Yeah, by raising it five euro.
06:44But that wouldn't crush him.
06:45If twenty euro didn't, five euro wouldn't.
06:47Except I think I got him angry.
06:50Okay, so you raise him fifty.
06:52That's like over two hundred.
06:54Are you mad?
06:55For a games console.
06:56Except now it's not a better game console.
06:58Now it's personal.
06:59It isn't.
07:01Ellie, come on.
07:02I'm not a boy playing boy games.
07:04I'm a nerd.
07:04You're online.
07:06You can be both.
07:07You can...
07:07You can be a cat.
07:18I thought it was better to meet here.
07:20It's more neutral.
07:21Oh, that doesn't matter anymore.
07:22They put us together themselves yesterday.
07:25And now we have a reason to meet.
07:27Talk about how we're going to sue them for slander or whatever.
07:32We're not.
07:33I just want to put him in jail.
07:37Yesterday was pretty freaky, don't you think?
07:39It was pathetic.
07:41They're trying to scare us.
07:43But they know what happened.
07:45But they know what happened.
07:45No, they don't.
07:46They know we're in it together.
07:48Because they think I'm paying you to shaft Mondo.
07:52But that's not true, is it?
07:54No, you're blackmailing me.
07:56Oh.
07:57So they got it wrong.
07:59They don't know anything.
08:02And if I'm asked in court under oath, are we in this together?
08:07Lie?
08:08Under oath?
08:09What?
08:10Do you think God is going to strike you dead?
08:14You're already lying about Mondo.
08:17Anyway, nobody is going to ask you.
08:21And you know this how?
08:23Because they won't bring it up.
08:26It's them witness tampering now.
08:28They're threatening us.
08:30And Mondo trying to bribe you.
08:33Claire McSweeney is not going to go near this with a barge pole.
08:37And neither will we, alright?
08:38Because we won't have to.
08:42Have you been into Comet?
08:44No.
08:45I'm fired.
08:47Mondo fired you?
08:48Well, he will.
08:49Wouldn't you?
08:52Why should I go in?
08:53You can just do that over the phone.
08:54That's good.
08:56Excuse me?
08:58Mondo firing you?
09:01It's petty.
09:02It's mean.
09:03It's taking revenge.
09:06It's perfect.
09:10Nicky, hi.
09:11Right on time.
09:13Cass, sorry, am I seeing you today?
09:14No, I'm here in a supportive role.
09:17Nicky's a bit nervous.
09:19Oh, there's nothing to be nervous about.
09:20You're not wearing a white coat.
09:22I usually don't.
09:23There's this thing, white coat syndrome, it's where-
09:25She's not wearing a white coat.
09:27If there's a problem, I could put it on.
09:29I have one.
09:30No, it's great.
09:31And when you're done, I'll bring you to Venus.
09:35Coffee and a big bun.
09:36Reward.
09:38Hold that in your mind.
09:40Sounds like a good deal.
09:42Alright, just give me a second to get all set up
09:44and then I'll call you in, alright?
09:50Now, breathe.
09:51I am breathing.
09:53Deep breaths.
09:54Oh, will you stop?
09:55You're making me feel more nervous.
09:56That's because you're not breathing enough.
09:59Or maybe it's that white coat.
10:00Look, I'll see you in Venus.
10:10Should I give Holly a call?
10:12No.
10:15Why not?
10:16Call her up?
10:17Ask her where she is?
10:19Melanie?
10:20It's harassment.
10:22How?
10:23She went away angry.
10:25Now you call her up and want to know where she is.
10:28Why?
10:28To come after her?
10:30She hangs up.
10:31She doesn't want to talk to you.
10:32And what?
10:33You call her again?
10:34Just let her call you.
10:37Fine.
10:40Very good.
10:43Oh, and remember, when she calls.
10:45If she calls, we need her to stay here.
10:54Holly, listen.
10:56You don't have to fire me.
10:58I quit.
11:15Miss Shine.
11:16I want to apologize.
11:18My junior made an accusation against you and Hayley Collins yesterday.
11:22This was done without my knowledge, and I would never have condoned such an action.
11:26The accusation is totally groundless, and you will never hear it again.
11:32Oh.
11:34Well.
11:35Good.
11:36Good.
11:37It is especially unfortunate that Melanie persuaded Mondo to go along with this, but you will understand
11:44he is under a great deal of stress, and perhaps may be excused for agreeing to such a misguided
11:50course of action.
11:52Yes.
11:54Yes.
11:54Yes, I do understand.
12:06We'll talk later.
12:10You need to apologize.
12:12Tell her you want to meet, that you have something to say.
12:20Hey.
12:21Where's the tow truck?
12:23Come back to our club.
12:24Why did you send it back to our club?
12:25How am I supposed to get Paul's Beamer to the garage?
12:27Orla, do you think I could tow Paul's Beamer through Carrickstown without anyone noticing?
12:32Okay, good thinking.
12:34So look, if you go slow for a short distance, you can drive it there yourself, okay?
12:38So you remember the story, yeah?
12:40You're driving along, the temperature light comes on, the steam, the whole lot, yeah?
12:43Yeah.
12:44No, pizza dough.
12:45Yeah, got right on it.
12:46Come here to me.
12:47What?
12:48Do you want to know how it went in there?
12:50Do I look like I have the time?
12:51No, it was really cool though.
12:52Okay, seriously then.
12:58So everything is fine?
13:00Yep, you're in good shape.
13:02And a test in the community centre?
13:04Well, it's like you said, maybe your kids are driving you crazy.
13:07But no, everything's normal.
13:10Oh, that's great.
13:11I was a bit worried.
13:12There's no need to be worried.
13:14Oh, but I would get that button before you tell Cass.
13:20And next thing, steam out of the engine.
13:23Oh, wow.
13:24I know.
13:25Lucky I was on the Carrickstown road.
13:55Thanks.
13:56I was on the Carrick, on one day.
13:57And I can't have his car banjaxed.
13:59Which was not your fault.
14:01Yeah, I know that.
14:02But like, you know, I still want to have it fixed.
14:04But I could tell them it's urgent.
14:05That might get it moving along.
14:07But I'm not guaranteeing anything.
14:09How about I pay for a weekend delivery?
14:13That could work.
14:17What I said about you to Holly, that was tactical.
14:20Are you okay with that?
14:21No, I get it.
14:23Smart.
14:25Though a lot of it was true.
14:27I haven't been very smart lately.
14:29But you're learning.
14:31The thing with Holly and Hayley.
14:34I'm sorry.
14:36That was Mondo.
14:37It was both of us.
14:38No, I mean, it's because it was Mondo.
14:41Because you're close.
14:42A lesson.
14:43It's always good to keep a distance with a client.
14:46Usually it's easy.
14:47But if it's someone you already are close to.
14:50Take a step back.
14:52Perspective.
14:55It's just really annoying.
14:57These people.
14:58It's like money doesn't mean anything to them.
15:01Probably because they're rich.
15:03Even if you're rich.
15:05300 euros.
15:06That's stupid.
15:08Rich and stupid are not an unusual combination.
15:12This jet guy, jet face, what's his name?
15:16Jet boy 353.
15:18Jet boy 353.
15:20Has more money than cents.
15:22Let it go.
15:23It wasn't even him.
15:25It was some other eejit who suddenly appeared with his stupid 300 euros.
15:29King nerd the first.
15:31I thought you said being a nerd was cool.
15:34It is.
15:35But you just call this other guy King nerd the first.
15:39That's what he calls himself.
15:41King nerd the first.
15:43Yeah.
15:43Oh dear lord.
15:44What are these people like?
15:47Of course he could be a cat.
15:49Excuse me?
15:51It doesn't matter.
15:54Here you go now.
15:55A treat for the hero.
15:58Go on with you, hero.
16:00You faced your fears.
16:02You did it.
16:04A hero in my book.
16:06That looks lovely.
16:09So, how did the test go?
16:12Grant.
16:13Grant how?
16:15Grant.
16:16What do you mean?
16:17Well, there's grand.
16:19Grand.
16:20And, grand, I don't want to talk about it.
16:24So, everything is all right?
16:26Yeah.
16:29Although...
16:30Although what?
16:32Tara did say maybe a few more tests.
16:35What kind of tests?
16:36You know, just blood, things, tests.
16:40Just to keep an eye on things.
16:43It's nothing to worry about.
16:44And there's no need to tell the kids.
16:46When are these tests?
16:48A week.
16:50Two, maybe.
16:51Just to take it easy until then.
16:53Oh, of course.
16:56Do you think I could get some cream with this?
16:58Oh, certainly.
17:05It's Stella.
17:07Hmm.
17:08It's a cool name, isn't it?
17:10Yeah, it is.
17:11Dean.
17:13You're useless.
17:14No, no, no, no.
17:16It was a beautiful, meaningful experience.
17:22Hold her.
17:23Dean and Estella sitting in a tree.
17:26Oh, or in a field.
17:28Or in a haystack.
17:29You know, all that pagan stuff.
17:31Nah.
17:32It was in our house.
17:33Well, that is a pity.
17:35No, it wasn't.
17:38Okay, come on.
17:39So?
17:40Is it going to be a long-distance relationship,
17:42like up and down to our club?
17:44No.
17:45Wouldn't I?
17:46Dean.
17:47You are a slut for Estella.
17:49That was her choice.
17:51Arla, I don't even know her second name.
17:54And to be honest, I don't even think she knows mine.
17:56We didn't swap phone numbers.
17:58And here.
17:59That is the way she wanted it.
18:01Wow.
18:03Some of the fellas I met her should have done that to.
18:04Hello there, Dean.
18:09Is that one of those dreamcatcher things?
18:12Well, Dean?
18:15It's a dreamcatcher.
18:16I've seen them, so what?
18:19Why are you looking at me like that?
18:21Well, now, don't you think it's a bit, er...
18:24Well, yeah.
18:25New-agey.
18:26Maybe a bit pagan-y.
18:27Maybe a bit art-clo-y.
18:29I don't know what you're talking about, Pete.
18:32Hmm.
18:33Doug found this in the back of Paul's car.
18:39Yeah, because it's juniors, but...
18:42He made it at school, you know, and it's arts and crafts.
18:45Did he, really?
18:46Yeah.
18:47Did he, er, happen to write the note that went with it?
18:51Let's have a look.
18:52Look.
18:55Dean.
18:57We'll always have...
18:59our clove.
19:01Sweet dreams.
19:04Estella.
19:09OK, fine.
19:11Don't tell Paul that I lent Dean his car.
19:14Why would I do that?
19:15Exactly. There's no need, so don't.
19:17Well, that's fine.
19:18Because, you see, the thing is...
19:21I'm more interested in, er, this Estella.
19:26I believe those are mine.
19:28Why?
19:28Those are yours.
19:30And this.
19:33So, Dean.
19:35Come on, come on now. Spill, spill.
19:43What happens in our clove, Pete,
19:47stays in our clove.
19:56What time did Holly say she'd be here?
19:59About 15 minutes ago.
20:01Maybe she'd change her mind.
20:03Why would she agree and then change her mind?
20:04I don't know, Melanie.
20:06I don't know why people do anything anymore.
20:07OK, look.
20:08When she gets here...
20:08If she gets here.
20:09Remember what we said.
20:11Yeah.
20:12Not to pretend to her I'm a decent guy.
20:14You are a decent guy.
20:16Maybe.
20:17Maybe that's what I've been pretending to myself.
20:19All this time.
20:21And really, I'm just this vicious guy with a temporary can control.
20:24Who killed a man.
20:25Stop.
20:27Well, that's what I'm gonna be, isn't it?
20:29It is who I was before Anto and who I'll be for the rest of my life.
20:33And that's the man people will think I am.
20:34This isn't useful.
20:36What?
20:36Feeling sorry for yourself, it's not gonna help.
20:39It's what Claire said.
20:40You stay calm, you apologise and you sell it.
20:45It?
20:47What's it?
20:48Whatever it takes.
20:56Here you go.
20:57On me.
20:58Claire.
20:59We're celebrating.
21:00What are we celebrating?
21:02Well, I'm celebrating the fact that Fenn is buying the drinks.
21:05Ladies, raise your glasses.
21:07Ladies.
21:08Sorry.
21:08Chicks.
21:10Okay, okay.
21:11Sisters.
21:11We kind of are, right?
21:12I'll accept sisters.
21:14What are we raising them to?
21:17King Nerd the First.
21:19What a guy.
21:20How do you know about him?
21:22Didn't you tell him?
21:24No.
21:26No.
21:27You!
21:28Yep.
21:29You're King Nerd the First.
21:30Yep.
21:31And what a guy.
21:32You bought the games console.
21:33I'm happy to sell it back to you for 130, which was your last bid, yeah?
21:38Actually, I think it was 150.
21:40Okay, Ellie.
21:41I'll run that by you again.
21:42I'm happy to sell it back to you for 130 euro, which was your last bid, yeah?
21:46Yep.
21:47Here you go.
21:48King Nerd the First.
21:50King Nerd the First.
21:51Cheers.
21:57You're up.
22:00Holly.
22:01Thanks for coming.
22:02Do you want us to sit down?
22:03Sure.
22:08I'm just going to come out and say it.
22:11I don't want you to quit.
22:14What?
22:15I don't want you to quit.
22:18I quit before you could fire me.
22:20But I wasn't going to fire you.
22:23Why not?
22:25I would.
22:26Why?
22:26Why would you want me to stay on?
22:28What I said yesterday.
22:30About your statement.
22:32I meant that.
22:33It's your opinion.
22:35You think it's true.
22:38How could I fire you for that?
22:42Wasn't that just to get me to the office so you could do that thing with Hayley?
22:46Yeah.
22:47Yes, it was.
22:48But that was Melanie's idea.
22:50Like Claire said, I never believed you would take money from Hayley to lie.
22:55I didn't.
22:57I swear.
22:58I know that.
22:59I wasn't thinking straight.
23:01Everything's really stressed.
23:04I know.
23:06And maybe you're right.
23:09Maybe I was saying things about Anto.
23:10I honestly can't remember.
23:12I certainly taught stuff.
23:15But I would never do anything.
23:17Not on purpose.
23:21Do you think I'm a bad person?
23:24No.
23:28Can you help me?
23:31I can't take back my statement.
23:34No.
23:34No.
23:34I mean...
23:37If you don't quit.
23:39If you stay on.
23:41It's like what you said.
23:42I'm not a bad person.
23:44If you're willing to work with me.
23:46You're not afraid of me.
23:49You don't think I'm...
23:52dangerous.
23:54No, I don't.
23:55Of course I don't.
24:00I'm going to stay on.
24:04Yes.
24:15Any word from Estella?
24:17It was a bit of fun.
24:18Not so much fun if Paul finds out.
24:20But what he doesn't know won't hurt him, Marie.
24:23Or you.
24:24I am not picking up after him.
24:25Or washing his dirty dishes.
24:27Kick him up the backside.
24:28Until he stops stepping out of line.
24:30Easy.
24:31Surprised you two are still working together.
24:33Are you okay to hold the fort?
24:34Yeah.
24:35Maybe you should let Mondo take the break.
24:37Take advantage of being able to go outside.
24:39But he still can.
24:42What the hell is going on here?
