00:17So is that it?
00:19You're just not going to talk to each other again?
00:23I've said everything you need to say.
00:26Well, I didn't.
00:27And here's what I didn't say.
00:29How dare you?
00:31Sorry?
00:32About everything we've been through.
00:34You just tell me that I can't come and see if you enter behind bars.
00:37Like it's over, that's it.
00:39What you sleep in Juliet's bed and you slip out before my alarm rings this morning.
00:43What sort of man behaves like that, Mondo?
00:46If you think about this, you'll see that it's best for both of us.
00:49Oh, and you think you can decide what's right for me?
00:51Like you just know?
00:52No, I'm not doing this anymore.
00:54I've decided.
00:55That's it.
00:57Hate me if you want.
00:58Maybe it's better for you if you do.
01:00I think we're just going to tiptoe around each other.
01:02I know this is mad.
01:03You're right.
01:04It is.
01:05I should find somewhere to stay until the trial is over.
01:08I don't want you to move out.
01:10I want you to drop all this talk and come back to me.
01:12No, a clean break is better.
01:15I'll find somewhere to stay.
01:20Is that new?
01:21Yeah, Ben got it for me yesterday.
01:23Ben?
01:25Oh, we know what she's thinking, don't we?
01:26Where's my prezzy?
01:28I'm not thinking that.
01:29Well, you should be.
01:31And Brother Ben has the answers.
01:32I'm taking you both into town this afternoon.
01:34And we're going on the Viking boat bus ride thing.
01:37Awesome.
01:38I've always wanted to do that thing.
01:40I can't just dump work for the afternoon.
01:43Of course you can.
01:43Pull a ciggy.
01:44No, I'm not going to do that to myself.
01:46Sure you are.
01:47I've got this.
01:51Give him a break.
01:52Don't you want to get to know him again?
01:54Please?
01:56Something doesn't feel great about all this.
01:58He's trying to be generous, to spend time with us.
02:01Don't you think it's great having him around?
02:03I do.
02:04It's wrong to say no.
02:08Maybe I can shift a few things around and make time.
02:11Okay?
02:13You could have sworn there was half a loaf here last night.
02:17Sorry, no toast this morning.
02:19Ah, don't worry about me.
02:21I have to be on my way anyway.
02:22I just came over to get a spiritual temperature reading.
02:26See how young Darren's progressing.
02:28Your new missionary is still finding his feet, I'm afraid.
02:32Ah, he'll work out for us in the end.
02:34Your faith is inspiring.
02:36Ah, don't worry about my faith.
02:38It's Nicky's faith you have to keep an eye on.
02:41Right, well, thanks for the tea.
02:43Oh, say goodbye to Jacinta.
02:46She's leaving.
02:47Bye.
02:47Bye.
02:48Darren isn't in your first Canadian book, by the way.
02:50Oh, is he?
02:52Now, what did I tell you?
02:54Look, what happened to bread?
02:56Wasn't there half a loaf here last night?
03:01Darren!
03:02Cass wants to know where all the bread went.
03:05Tell him about your experiments.
03:08So, in my new book, it's got this prayer that turns ordinary breads into holy breads.
03:14I found him testing it.
03:15It doesn't work.
03:16I tested it on a few slices, but it still tastes like bread.
03:19You have to be a priest for that to work.
03:22I told him that, and he wouldn't believe me.
03:25So, you used up half a loaf, testing your prayer.
03:29I have to make sure.
03:30It's in the bin.
03:31There's only one bite missing from me sliced, so I might still be fine.
03:34I'm off screwing the two of you.
03:36Go on.
03:37I was looking forward to a bit of toast.
03:40Then we'll have to settle for porridge.
03:50Go on.
03:51You can do it.
03:53Do what?
03:55Ask Dean if he'll have it with a pizza, though.
03:58I mean, that's why you're standing here, isn't it?
04:00I have really no idea what you're talking about.
04:02I just stopped here to check messages.
04:05You hate when people just stand there checking their phone.
04:10Not that difficult, you know?
04:12Okay, maybe I did have one or two complaints, and maybe I was going to give him a break.
04:17Oh, all right, sorry.
04:18This is for his good, is it?
04:20That guy owes me big time for banjaxing my car.
04:23He's the one who should be coming over and asking me what he can do to make it up to
04:26me.
04:26After the tongue lashing you gave him about it?
04:30Well, go on, go over and ask him.
04:33You're enjoying this, aren't you?
04:34Just a little bit, yeah?
04:37Maybe our supplier isn't so bad after all.
04:40Yeah.
04:41I don't think we've changed anything right now.
04:44Paul, this is just your pride talking.
04:46You need him.
04:48Yeah, well, I'll cope.
04:49Don't humiliate myself.
04:51Anyway, I'll have to go when I prefer this meeting.
04:53What meeting?
04:55I'm seeing Melanie later, if you must know.
04:57She's going to talk me through this hearing I have next week.
05:00She's got all about it.
05:01Well, this could be great for both of you.
05:06I'll cope.
05:08See you.
05:11You busy today?
05:13Not as busy as I'd like.
05:15Ben has invited me and Ellie into town for a treat.
05:18He wouldn't take no for an answer.
05:21His shirt?
05:22Definitely.
05:23Where's this cash of his come up from?
05:26Joe.
05:27And her plastic surgeon husband, I see him.
05:30Are you sure he's not softening up for something?
05:33Yeah, well, that's my worry.
05:35Anyway, I have to run.
05:37They'll be waiting for me.
05:38Bye.
05:39Bye.
05:42Well, thanks very much.
05:43Whatever you're saying to him is having zero effect.
05:46Is he still acting irrationally?
05:47Like a few weeks ago, he was all fighting talk.
05:49About how he was going to beat this and none of us had a thing to worry about.
05:52And now he's like a different man.
05:54What happened to the old Mondo?
05:56You know Mondo.
05:56He can just be a bit dramatic every now and then.
05:59Well, I have a theory.
06:00I think this is what you do, you and Clare.
06:02You start to lower the expectations.
06:04You tell your client to prepare for the worst.
06:06So when something a little bit bigger happens, it becomes a big win.
06:09And you'll always become the heroes.
06:11Oh, so you think this is our fault?
06:13Like, why else would he be so convinced that they're going to lock him up and throw away the key?
06:16Ciara, I'm sorry that Mondo has taken this out on you.
06:19And I know that you're looking for someone to blame.
06:21But we are doing everything in our power to support him.
06:26Yeah, okay, look, I'm sorry.
06:29I'm just trying to understand.
06:30Me too.
06:31I promise.
06:33But some switch has flipped on him.
06:35I know, I don't know what to do.
06:36Like, he can barely be in the same room as me.
06:39Like, it would be better for me in the long run, apparently, to forget all about him.
06:43It would be insulting if it wasn't so bloody tragic.
06:46And he won't discuss it?
06:47No, not with me, he won't.
06:48Honestly, he's his own worst enemy.
06:50I've got really out of options here.
06:52Well, I'm happy to try again with him, if you think it'll do any good.
06:56I have said everything.
06:58But I can think of nothing that's getting through him.
07:02See what you can do.
07:03Please.
07:04Of course.
07:06I have a meeting with Paula shortly, but I'll try to grab Mondo afterwards, okay?
07:11Thanks.
07:16I just feel bad.
07:18Me and my big mouth.
07:20Paul was on his way over to chat to Dean about becoming Domemaker Supremo, and then I'd go
07:23up to him and rub his nose on it.
07:25Parker still changes mind.
07:26Oh, no.
07:27Once Paul's pride gets involved, I mean, it causes more damage trying to budge him.
07:32And I have scars to prove that.
07:34Paul, right?
07:35Hello.
07:35How's it going?
07:36How are you?
07:36Just this today, yeah?
07:38Thanks.
07:39Come here to me.
07:41What was Paul up to this morning?
07:44He was on his way over to talk to you, but I stopped him.
07:47There's no need for that.
07:48I'm a big boy.
07:49I can take whatever he's throwing out about the car.
07:51Oh, no.
07:52It's not that.
07:53Well, he found out it was your dog that made his pizzas into the big hits of the week.
07:56And we think he was trying to decide whether to come and chat to you about it.
08:00Mm.
08:00His customers aren't happy, because now that they taste it yours, they don't want Paul's
08:04slices of cardboard.
08:05Sales are taking a hit, bro.
08:07For real, yeah?
08:08Go on.
08:09Give yourself a pat on the back.
08:10You deserve it.
08:11Nice.
08:13I'm just glad I wasn't more moaning about the car.
08:16See you.
08:17See you.
08:17See you.
08:19Wouldn't it be great if Dean was making the vases for Paul?
08:22I mean, then they'd both be rolling in the dough.
08:26Rolling in the dough.
08:27Rolling.
08:28OK, right, let's go.
08:29I'm sure we can do something.
08:30Come on.
08:44What's this?
08:45It's an amended list of questions I'm going to ask when I call you to the stand, plus
08:50some of my guesses as to how they're going to go after you during cross-examination.
08:54Well, there's a lot more on here since the last time you went through this.
08:57I have to pre-empt their new attacks.
08:59You're going to be fine.
09:02If I answer some of these honestly, it'll be game over for me.
09:05Well, let's just say how you frame things is crucial.
09:08What you put into the frame and what you leave out.
09:10Lie, you mean?
09:12I'd never advise that.
09:14Mondo, we have built a really solid case together.
09:19We just need one last push.
09:21Stay strong.
09:26What if I don't feel strong?
09:29What are you saying here exactly?
09:32Mondo.
09:36Look, this isn't working for me.
09:39I think we need to have a whole new approach to this.
09:43And I have an idea of how we do that.
09:57What are you doing?
09:58The homework.
10:00What's the fruit of thy realm?
10:02Sorry, what did you just ask me?
10:05The fruit of thy realm.
10:06It's in here.
10:07What does it mean?
10:08What are you reading?
10:10Me first holy communion.
10:12Did you get this in school?
10:14Just since I once made to learn some of the prayers.
10:16She says if I do, she'll give me a prize.
10:19So will you help me?
10:21What kind of a prize?
10:22The biggest prize I ever got.
10:25Someone who says Jesus is the fruit of the realm of Mary
10:27just means it's our baby, right?
10:30That's it.
10:31Then why don't they say that then?
10:32Where are they going on about fruits and realms?
10:35Can't they just talk simple?
10:36You said it.
10:37You know, the world would be better off if people just did that.
10:41Including Jacinta.
10:46There you go.
10:49Hey.
10:51Sorry, the meeting with Paul went on a little longer
10:53than it was supposed to.
10:55Tea, anyone?
10:56No, thanks.
10:58Okay.
11:01Mondo, when you're done here,
11:02do you mind if we have a little chat?
11:03You can have your little chat now.
11:05I think we've said everything there is to say.
11:07Right?
11:08Yeah, I reckon that's it.
11:10And thanks for not, you know,
11:12freaking out.
11:13Freaking out is not in the lawyer's job description.
11:16You're the client.
11:17You instruct us.
11:18We do what you say.
11:19We'll draw up the new brief.
11:20What's happened?
11:21Against the advice of his legal team,
11:24Mr O'Connell is changing his plea
11:25from not guilty to the charge of manslaughter
11:27to guilty.
11:48It's mad.
11:50I've thought about it.
11:51I've listened to everything Claire and Clodagh have said
11:53and I'm still convinced that this is the way I want to go.
11:55You can't let him do it.
11:57You're going to go to prison if you do this.
11:59I'm going to prison anyway.
11:59That's not true.
12:00Well, maybe this way I get a shorter sentence.
12:02Mondo has heard every possible reason why
12:04this might not be the best decision.
12:06He has.
12:07I have to head.
12:09Now that you've freed up a good chunk of my time,
12:11Mr O'Connell,
12:13I better put a bit of effort into some of my other clients.
12:18Good luck.
12:19I suppose I'll see you at the sentencing hearing.
12:23I'll see you at the sentencing hearing.
12:31Talk to him some more.
12:32We can't let him do this.
12:33I agree.
12:34I'll do what I can.
12:36See you soon, I hope.
12:44Sorry.
12:53What are you doing now?
12:56I need to find a place to stay.
12:57Well, forget that.
12:58I have a better idea.
13:00We find a park bench
13:02in a big patch of spring sunshine
13:06and we talk about it.
13:09I've talked enough.
13:11OK.
13:12OK, we don't talk about it.
13:13Fine.
13:15I often find that
13:17unbuttoning your coat,
13:20sitting back
13:21and watching the clouds floating past
13:23can do wonders for your mood.
13:28I'm not discussing the case.
13:29Message received.
13:39Come on.
13:40That was super fun.
13:41My throat is sore
13:42from all the shouting.
13:44Don't worry about that.
13:45I've got cash.
13:49What is the deal with him
13:50and all this cash?
13:53Is there a problem?
13:54No.
13:55My card was playing up.
13:57Luckily, I visited a few cash machines last night.
14:00Are we off?
14:01Let's go.
14:02Thanks, Ben.
14:03Yeah.
14:04Thanks.
14:08Do you mind explaining to me
14:09what game you were playing?
14:11No game.
14:12What are you on about?
14:13Look, it's fine
14:14if you want to get at me about Lent
14:16and us being godless heathens and that.
14:18But don't be bending my son's ear
14:20and offering rewards behind my back.
14:22A nice prayer
14:24is a great comfort
14:25in tough times
14:26and your family
14:27have had their share of those.
14:29What are you on about?
14:30Look, if you want to play
14:31Mother Teresa
14:32do it somewhere else, okay?
14:36Why can't Paul admit it?
14:39Dean's faces are better.
14:40He should just hire them.
14:41He should.
14:42It impacts on my business too.
14:44The slices I get from Paul
14:45aren't selling as fast
14:46now that we're back
14:47to the old arrangement again.
14:48Oh.
14:49Well, how'd you done?
14:51I nearly sent a pizza back, lads.
14:53He should have.
14:54Right at the point home.
14:55Could be the start
14:56of a whole campaign.
15:00That is not a bad idea, Hugh.
15:02We all agree
15:03that Dean's pizzas are nicer
15:05and you could use the extra work
15:07if Paul just hired him.
15:08I could use the extra quality.
15:10Exactly.
15:11So let's get a bit
15:12of community activism going on this.
15:15Like a sort of boycott?
15:16Yes.
15:17Well, I can think of a few people
15:18who'll be up for that
15:19off the top of my head.
15:20Okay, well then you have
15:21a word of them
15:21and Hughie, you were going
15:22to play a part in those two.
15:24For sure.
15:25I'm always up for letting
15:26an old tabby cat in
15:27amongst Paul's pigeons.
15:29See ya.
15:31Are you sure?
15:32As long as you don't mind
15:33the couch, yeah.
15:34Of course you can keep
15:35at my place.
15:35I just have a few things
15:36to tie off for the day
15:37and then we can head back home.
15:39You don't mind waiting
15:40with me, do you?
15:41No, of course not.
15:43And the couch is fine,
15:45by the way.
15:45Yeah, I'll probably end up
15:47staring at the ceiling anyway.
15:49It's become my
15:51nightly routine.
15:55You poor thing.
15:57I know.
15:58The questions just don't
15:59stop going round and round.
16:01All the what-ifs.
16:04You think I'm making
16:05a big mistake, don't you?
16:08Are you really asking me?
16:10No.
16:11But you do, don't you?
16:25I think you're making
16:26a huge mistake.
16:29You can't plead guilty.
16:32You've allowed something
16:33to spook you
16:34and you're not thinking straight.
16:36Mando, you had no intention
16:38of killing Anto.
16:40You just don't want
16:41all your hard work
16:41going to waste.
16:42No, it's not that.
16:43I just don't want to see you
16:44destroy yourself
16:45over something
16:46that really wasn't your fault.
16:48And all that stuff
16:49with Ciara.
16:51How could you say
16:52those things to her?
16:53You're on some
16:54self-destructive mission
16:56and as your friend,
16:57I need to get you
16:58to wake up
16:59and get real again.
17:00Right, thanks for the offer
17:01but I think I'm just going
17:02to book into a hotel
17:02for the night.
17:03Oh, Mando, don't go.
17:04You asked me what I thought.
17:05No, it's awkward
17:06because you don't understand
17:07and you want me
17:08to help you to understand
17:09and I'm not up to it.
17:11But I want to try anyway
17:13and then I won't sleep
17:13for the whole night.
17:14You just admit it,
17:15you don't sleep anyway.
17:16Okay, fine,
17:17well then I will sleep
17:17even less.
17:18Look, I know you mean well
17:20and you are very sweet
17:21but I'm just going to head.
17:23Okay, please don't.
17:24Okay, I won't say
17:25another word about it.
17:26Okay, I'll sit here
17:27quietly and send my emails
17:29and then we can go back home,
17:31we can pick up
17:31a few bits on the way.
17:32I'll make you that pasta bake
17:33you really like.
17:35The one with the mascarpone?
17:36Yeah, yeah,
17:37and the white wine.
17:39No, I'll find a hotel
17:40but thanks anyway.
17:41Okay.
17:42No, and suddenly I'm hungry now
17:43so I'm going to go
17:43get a takeaway on the way.
17:45Well, I'm hungry too.
17:46Why don't you get something
17:46that we can share
17:47and we can have it here
17:48before you head off.
17:50Okay?
17:50Deal?
17:51Oh, you are relentless.
17:54Sure.
18:01What kind of normal kid
18:02takes a prayer book
18:03to football training?
18:05I need to get that book
18:06off of him
18:07and get it back to home.
18:08You don't think
18:09he'd find it inspiring?
18:11In my time,
18:12we still believe
18:13that some people
18:14got a vocation.
18:15They were called.
18:17Darren's been called,
18:18all right.
18:19Called by that reward
18:20she's offering.
18:21A few wholesome values
18:23might be good
18:24for both those kids,
18:25don't you think?
18:26Well, I decide
18:27what's good for them,
18:28not who.
18:29Ah.
18:29So,
18:31you're not tempted
18:33to explore
18:33the spiritual aspect
18:35of all this?
18:36Me?
18:37I mean,
18:38not suddenly thinking
18:39of your immortal soul,
18:41are you?
18:42I have a few more
18:42pressing problems
18:43right now.
18:44Are you okay?
18:46Oh, no,
18:46just checking,
18:47you know.
18:48I'd be interested
18:49to see where this goes.
18:51It goes no further
18:52than this
18:52because I'm stopping it.
18:54Okay,
18:55well,
18:56that is interesting too.
18:58Is it?
18:59I have to go
19:00and collect Darren.
19:01See you later.
19:05To admit it,
19:05you had a good time today.
19:06What are you having?
19:07No,
19:08I am buying this one.
19:09I've been doling
19:10out the cash all day.
19:11What's money for
19:12if it can't be used
19:12to spoil the people you love?
19:15Love?
19:16It's a bit early
19:17for that, isn't it?
19:18You know what I mean.
19:19We're having fun,
19:20aren't we?
19:21Sure.
19:24Look,
19:25I want to know
19:26what's really going on here.
19:28What?
19:29I told you,
19:30nothing's going on.
19:31Why should there be
19:32something going on?
19:34Okay.
19:35Here's a question.
19:38Why were you
19:38running about
19:39withdrawing stacks of cash
19:40from a load of different
19:41ATMs last night?
19:43It's always good
19:43to have a bit of cash on you.
19:45Just in case.
19:46In case what?
19:49Did you know
19:50that your cards
19:50had stopped working?
19:51How would I know that?
19:53I don't know.
19:54Maybe Joe
19:55said something?
19:56I told you
19:57what she said.
19:58Why do you keep
19:58going on about this?
20:00Were you listening
20:01to our conversation?
20:02No.
20:03No.
20:03Of course not.
20:05Sorry.
20:06Let's forget it.
20:07Thank you for taking us
20:08on the Viking boat.
20:09It was fun.
20:11Now,
20:12what are we drinking?
20:14Okay.
20:17I'd forgotten
20:18how sharp you are.
20:20That conversation
20:21with my mom
20:23did not go great.
20:25What happened?
20:28There was a meeting
20:29last week
20:29with the dean
20:30of my college.
20:33And I don't know.
20:35Maybe I missed the flight.
20:37How was I supposed to know
20:38my mother
20:39was going to be
20:39at the meeting too?
20:42So when I didn't show,
20:43he tells her
20:44all this stuff
20:44about how I've
20:45had my last chance.
20:47It was a rubbish
20:48degree anyway.
20:50So she just
20:51blocked your cards?
20:52It's the sort of thing
20:53they say now and again.
20:55It never lasts.
20:56And in the meantime?
20:57In the meantime,
20:59I suppose you're
21:00stuck with me.
21:01The way I see it,
21:02this is a good thing.
21:03This means I have to
21:04get on with doing
21:04my own stuff.
21:07I've got loads of plans.
21:08I promise.
21:10You won't have to
21:10put up with me for long.
21:12Oh yeah?
21:13Because it seems
21:14as though you're
21:15getting very comfortable.
21:16You're cutting keys,
21:18cancelling college,
21:19stockpiling cash.
21:21Be straight with me, Ben.
21:23What am I looking at here?
21:25Sure, sir, I miss you.
21:26That's all.
21:28You sure?
21:29Very sure.
21:35Okay.
21:36I like the sound of this.
21:38Open your order
21:38a second time.
21:39I'm open to trying it.
21:41So your customers
21:42like to pee today?
21:43Well, not right now, no.
21:45I had to drop any price.
21:47Getting confused, so
21:49why are we talking
21:50about expanding
21:50your order again?
21:52Because there's a condition.
21:54I want the same pizzas
21:55we had last week.
21:57They are the same?
21:57We both know they're not.
21:59I want the ones
22:00with Dean's dough.
22:02I had great feedback
22:02about dough,
22:03so did you, I hear.
22:05Now I've got
22:05disappointed customers.
22:08So how about
22:10I up the order
22:11but only if you
22:12bring back Dean's bases?
22:17Is it just me
22:18or are Paul's pizzas
22:19actually getting worse?
22:20Yeah, maybe we should
22:22have hung in
22:22for the pasta bake.
22:23Well, too late for that now.
22:25You missed your chance, buddy.
22:29I've been good, haven't I?
22:31I haven't mentioned the case
22:32even once in the past
22:34two hours.
22:35Yeah, you've been
22:36very restrained.
22:38But thanks for,
22:39you know,
22:40not giving up on me.
22:42Well, I'm not going
22:42to do that,
22:43no matter how tempting
22:44you make it.
22:47You think I'm a fool,
22:48don't you?
22:49Changing my plea.
22:51I am not going to
22:52fall into that trap again.
22:54I told you what I think.
22:57Every time I try
22:58and think about the future,
23:00I just hit this dark void.
23:03I try and imagine
23:04nice things after the trial.
23:06Even just sitting down
23:08with you,
23:09sharing a coffee
23:10and a chat.
23:12these alarm bells
23:13start going off.
23:14Don't do it.
23:15You know, jinx it.
23:17You might not even
23:18have a future at all.
23:21And then I thought,
23:23just deal with it.
23:25Embrace it.
23:26Plead guilty.
23:29But, Mando,
23:30this is not all on you.
23:33There are people
23:34that care for you.
23:36Loads of us.
23:38we'll get you through this.
23:43You know,
23:44I don't tell you this
23:46often enough,
23:46but
23:48you are amazing.
23:50You're always there for me.
23:52I know.
23:54What's the matter with me?
23:55Nothing.
23:58Nothing.
24:07Oh, no.
24:08Sorry, I don't.
24:09I don't know what.
24:09That's...
24:25I don't know what you're doing.
24:26I don't know what you're doing.
24:26I don't know what you're doing.
24:28I don't know what you're doing.
24:28I don't know what you're doing.
24:31I don't know what you're doing.
24:33I don't know what you're doing.
24:37I don't know what you're doing.
24:40Hey.
24:43About last night.
24:45It was amazing.
24:47We shouldn't have slept together.
24:49We were both stone-cold sober. It was real.
24:55OK, look, you're right.
24:57I should go to court.
24:58I should own what I did, why I did it, and take my chances.
25:09Mondo has agreed to stick to his not guilty plea.
25:13Good.
25:14It was all down to Melanie.
25:18Ciara, Mondo is telling us he's come to his senses and will, in fact, be going to court.
25:24I don't understand.
25:26Doesn't matter.
25:29What's going on?
25:31Mondo hit a speed bump.
25:32The thought of being in the courtroom.
25:35You were going to plead guilty?
25:37It doesn't matter. I'm back on track now.
25:40Why didn't you say anything to me?
25:42Just let it go, please.
25:43I have some documents for you to sign.
25:47Sorry.
25:53Ciara.
25:54Don't.
25:55OK.
25:56You forgot this.
25:57Give it to him, will you?
25:59Yeah.
26:05So, how's the ban the bad base campaign going then?
26:08Not great.
26:09People don't want to be getting grief from Paul.
26:12Why don't you just put the idea of you being Vino's dough supplier to him, eh?
26:16If I go to Paul, he's just going to act like he's doing me a favour.
26:20Then he's going to try and rob me.
26:23Maybe he's wised up, lad.
26:25Very nice.
26:28All right.
26:30Quick word?
26:31Yeah, sure.
26:40How's business?
26:42Good, you?
26:44Flying?
26:46Let's not get into the game playing.
26:48If you want me to supply Vino's, just come out and ask him.
26:51Well, it sounds like you're the one who wants to make that happen.
26:53Don't start.
26:54Well, you're the one who brought it up.
26:57OK.
26:59So, what did you want to talk to me about?
27:04Nothing.
27:14Don't.
27:18Sasha is after twisting her ankle.
27:20She needs me to cover her Maciahs later.
27:22Oh, I can hold the floor chair.
27:24Thanks.
27:29There's going to be a communion quiz.
27:32You'll ace that, won't you, Cass?
27:34No, I'm not a bother.
27:36Is there a prize?
27:37A pack of markers.
27:38Lovely.
27:40Is Kim awake?
27:41I don't know.
27:42No, I'm going to take that phone off her.
27:44She's on it all night and then she's like a zombie the next day.
27:47Do you want me to test you on a few of the questions?
27:50It's OK.
27:51There's a great trick for remembering stuff.
27:54You put a picture in your head to spark you.
27:57For example, the first commandment.
27:59You see Messi sitting on a throne.
28:02He's the numero uno.
28:04He's the man, Yamal.
28:05Of course.
28:06Yamal.
28:07The new god of football.
28:10Doesn't matter anyway.
28:12The cruises yesterday.
28:13I was rubbish.
28:15I kept mixing stuff up.
28:17I mean, if God is so nice, why did he send people to hell?
28:20I'm not sure I understand myself.
28:22I'm more of a pagan spirit.
28:24Not much into the crime and punishment vibe.
28:27Then why do you keep asking me how I'm getting on with my communion lessons?
28:31Well, it's a bit complicated.
28:34That's what adults say when they want you to shut up.
28:36I'm sorry.
28:38Doesn't matter.
28:47Ah, Zoe.
28:49Did you talk to Ben?
28:50Yeah.
28:51He'd had a fallout with Joe.
28:53He said he'd passed his exams when really he failed.
28:56Oh.
28:58Yeah, so she's cut off his allowance.
28:59Which is why he was running around trying to get all that cash together.
29:02You know, before Joe pulled the plug.
29:04Ah.
29:05Well, a sharp shock might be just what he needs.
29:10Except now I'm stuck with him.
29:11Is it that bad?
29:13No.
29:14It's just, I wasn't even asked.
29:16And...
29:17It's a bit of doubt.
29:20It's been my house.
29:21And now it's his as well.
29:23And I've tried talking to Dermot about it, but he's just...
29:25Oh, it's so great that he's back.
29:27He's his son.
29:29Yeah.
29:29As in prodigal.
29:33Hey.
29:34Hey.
29:36Look at me.
29:37I need you, to be honest with you.
29:40Okay.
29:41It's about Mondo.
29:44Ciara, I can't reveal any client information.
29:46No, it's not about the case.
29:48Is there someone else?
29:50What?
29:52No.
29:53Swear to me there's none I should know.
29:55I think he's feeling very alone.
29:58But I've been with him all the way.
29:59His family is there from...
30:01But he's the one facing the judgement.
30:04Anto's death is hanging heavy on him.
30:06No, but how can I help him if he won't let me in?
30:08He loves you.
30:11Once this trial is over, he'll be right back with you.
30:23Do not say one word.
30:26What's your problem?
30:27I'm just trying to encourage him to study for his communion.
30:30Yeah, right.
30:31You probably haven't been inside a church since your baptism.
30:34I go to church.
30:36Maybe not to mass every Sunday.
30:38Not the same since they got rid of the Latin.
30:41I like sitting there in the quiet.
30:44Used to love going to Whitefriars Street.
30:47When the kids were small.
30:51I, um...
30:53I didn't get it easy from their father.
30:56I used to go to St. Mark's.
30:58I loved the choir.
31:01Just listening to them when my life was chaos.
31:03It was lovely.
31:05I hear you.
31:31Why didn't you talk to Kira?
31:35I decided to change my plea back when I saw you this morning.
31:39I know you'll fight like a tiger to get what's right for me.
31:42Explain that to her.
31:43Well, not like that.
31:44Don't bring me into it.
31:45Don't worry, I'm not going to give up that stupid.
31:47You already have.
31:49We both have.
31:51You're saying it didn't feel right?
31:52That's beside the point.
31:54Not true.
31:56I was feeling sorry for you, OK?
31:57You don't do pity.
32:03All good? Fine.
32:05Yeah.
32:05You?
32:07Melanie was just going through the order of play for next week.
32:09The main thing is, you look like an ordinary Joe
32:12caught up in a nightmare accident.
32:14I am.
32:16Just like that.
32:26Is there anything I need to know?
32:28Sorry?
32:29We don't want any more changes of heart.
32:31Uh, no.
32:32No, he's determined to plead his case.
32:35I want you to stick with him.
32:37In case you have to talk him off the ledge again.
32:39OK.
32:40You're doing well.
32:41Your work in this case will look excellent on your CV.
32:47Admit it.
32:48I won.
32:50I'm free for lunch now.
32:52I'm calling off the bet.
32:54You're not.
32:55I shouldn't have agreed in the first place.
32:57If you pull out, I still win.
32:59Lunch is on you.
33:00Come on, let's go.
33:01That would be honouring the bet.
33:03No, I'll make a donation to charity on your behalf.
33:08What's going on?
33:09This snake wants to back out of a wager.
33:12What kind of eager are you?
33:14She'd buy and sell you.
33:15If you could leave now, we could take this matter up later.
33:19Look, forget about the lunch.
33:21I'll take hard cash.
33:22I'll let you off with the tenner.
33:24Done.
33:25What were you betting on?
33:27There.
33:28He bet me that I couldn't get you gung-ho for Darren's communion.
33:33Not only have I done that,
33:34but the young fella could recite the Bible backwards now
33:36with the push I've given him.
33:38What?
33:39She got my back up.
33:41You used Darren to get at his kew?
33:43Excuse me.
33:47I can't believe this.
33:51Shame on the period.
33:57Hello.
33:57Look at this.
33:59Doug here's trying to shake me down with my secret recipe.
34:01I was just asking for a voice.
34:03I don't know.
34:03It's your fault.
34:04It's addictive.
34:06You see,
34:08it's not all about the ingredients.
34:10Every chef has the
34:12little micro-adjustments that they make.
34:15Oh, listen to you,
34:16chefy-chef.
34:17It's not every day I get to change things up.
34:22We've got him.
34:24Yeah?
34:25Mm-hmm.
34:25Dean and Paul.
34:26Two little boys
34:27who both sell themselves
34:28the next big thing.
34:29They can't do it alone.
34:31But together.
34:33Right.
34:35Mm-hmm.
34:35Just like that.
34:36Enemies become frenemies.
34:43Thanks.
34:46How are you holding on?
34:49Okay.
34:51Everyone is thinking about you.
34:54Thanks.
35:03What are people saying about me?
35:05Who cares?
35:07It's normal to be freaked out.
35:08I was.
35:09You weren't being accused of killing someone.
35:11No, but I could have lost me kids.
35:14How did you cope inside?
35:16One day at a time.
35:22Hey.
35:24Okay, look, this is on me, all right?
35:27I should have kept things professional.
35:29I knew what I was doing.
35:31Yeah.
35:38There's something I have to ask you.
35:41I was just coming through
35:42some legal stuff with Melanie.
35:43Yeah, we can chat later.
35:47Oh, no.
35:49Will you marry me?
35:54What?
35:56Oh, I already love you for better or worse.
36:00Marry me, Wanda.
36:05Do you want me to get down on one knee?
36:07Okay, if that's what it takes.
36:09Come on, get up.
36:11Please, get up.
36:14Well, yes or no?
36:18No.
36:20Oh, okay.
36:23Is there someone else?
36:25Answer me, Wanda.
36:42All right, lads.
36:43I'm sure there's plenty of entertainment
36:44on your phones.
36:47Are you going to answer me?
36:55No, there's no one else.
36:57Is that any way to treat the girl?
37:00Although, why you'd want a husband
37:01who's in the slammer, I don't know.
37:03Please, this is private.
37:05Go.
37:07You're wasted on him.
37:15You should leave.
37:18Do you know,
37:19you stood over there not so long ago
37:20and you begged me not to leave you.
37:23And I stayed because I love you.
37:26And I still love you.
37:29It must be very frightening
37:30where you're at right now, Wanda.
37:33I'm just sorry you won't let me in.
37:44How could I say yes?
37:48Zoe's worried about you.
37:50She hardly even knows me.
37:53Anyway, do I look like I need minding?
37:55Know what I am?
37:55An angel sent from heaven for her.
37:58Are you sure your head's big enough?
37:59It's just a fact.
38:01Zoe's been living here on her own
38:02like something out of Dickens.
38:04You know, the old lady with the wedding gown.
38:06You are so rude.
38:07I guess she's being kind to me,
38:09but I'm like catnip to my mum.
38:10She can't help but do my will.
38:12Hey, Ellie.
38:13Hi.
38:14Hey.
38:16I'm just off a Zoom call
38:17with Dermot and Joe.
38:19I asked you to leave, Nick.
38:21They called me.
38:23Your mum and stepdad
38:24are presenting a united front.
38:26So no more bailouts.
38:28Or, to quote Joe directly,
38:30tell Ben to cop on
38:31and get himself sorted.
38:32The bank of mammy
38:33is permanently closed.
38:38My mum will blink first.
38:46Do you have those statements
38:47I was looking for?
38:49Is it not in the file?
38:51Oh, sorry.
38:52I must have left it in the photocopier.
38:54What's going on?
38:56I don't know what you mean.
38:57You've been so tense
38:58these last few days.
38:59You look like you've got luck, Joe.
39:02It's this trial.
39:03It's such a big deal for me.
39:05I don't want to get anything wrong.
39:07And I guess it's personal for you.
39:10You and Mondo have history.
39:14Well, yeah.
39:15But like you said,
39:15it could be a big boost
39:16for my career.
39:23So I have some good news.
39:26Turns out Dean
39:27got a real buzz
39:29about doing something different
39:30and getting good feedback.
39:32I'm delighted for him.
39:33How do you blow it, though?
39:34Okay, I know what this is.
39:36This is the clash of the alpha males.
39:38And it's not a criticism, Paul.
39:39Okay?
39:40We'd all still be eating insects
39:42if the cavemen
39:43didn't go out and slaughter
39:44a few beasts.
39:46Dean really wants to be part
39:48of this partnership.
39:50Okay?
39:51But he's too macho
39:52to bend the knee.
39:54So why don't you
39:56be the bigger one?
39:58Let him think that he's one.
40:00Massage his fragile ego.
40:02And then you
40:03will be smiling
40:04with stellar reviews
40:05and cues of customers
40:07outside the door.
40:10I don't know.
40:11You are too smart
40:12to put ego
40:14over profit.
40:17Okay?
40:18Imagine
40:19Fino's
40:20as a destination
40:21pizza restaurant
40:23and that
40:24has a nice round to it.
40:26Paul's a tick, man.
40:27Everybody knows that.
40:28But that's good.
40:29Now you let him think
40:30he's won you around.
40:31Meanwhile,
40:31you'll be building your profile.
40:33Plus,
40:34women love chefs, bro.
40:35Look at that man the bear.
40:36The head on him
40:36and all the women
40:37are swinging.
40:41Okay, listen.
40:42Why don't you
40:42go over to him now
40:43while he's still
40:43annoyed at himself?
40:44Go on.
40:45Back him and tag him.
40:47Go on!
40:48Ahem.
40:50Yeah.
40:50Shh.
40:55How are you?
40:56Do you, uh,
40:57have a minute?
40:59Yeah, sure.
41:00We'll leave you still it.
41:04Ahem.
41:07All right.
41:08All we have to do
41:09is wait
41:10till the dough
41:11rises.
41:13Got you.
41:13Yeah.
41:25How is he?
41:26I tried to talk to him
41:27but he told me
41:28to shut up.
41:29I don't want
41:30his communion
41:30to be spoiled.
41:32They're going to have
41:33the church lovely.
41:34and the kid's
41:35drawings all
41:35on the wall
41:36and his other
41:37classmates of all
41:38religion and no
41:39religion are asked
41:40along.
41:40He'll probably
41:41change his mind
41:42tomorrow.
41:43Maybe.
41:52It's not your fault.
41:54I should have
41:55known Jacinta
41:56was up to something.
41:58That's on her.
41:59She's the
41:59two-faced snake.
42:04I love you, ma.
42:05I love you, too.
42:14Thanks.
42:19Is Zoe always so serious
42:20about everything?
42:22No.
42:23Did something happen?
42:26Me?
42:26What did I do?
42:28You landed in
42:29without letting her know.
42:30I didn't know myself
42:31until the day before.
42:32I was just like,
42:33I don't want to go back
42:34to the States
42:34and get more grief,
42:35so then Dublin
42:36popped into my head.
42:37You could have
42:38sent her a text.
42:39I wanted to surprise her.
42:41You did.
42:44Here you go.
42:45Thanks.
42:46Are you still working?
42:48Final drop.
42:49We're just about to order.
42:50Do you want it?
42:52No, I have lasagna
42:53at home in the fridge.
42:54No, you don't.
42:54I chucked it.
42:55It was a Petri dish.
42:56Also be a burger.
42:58Look,
42:59here's what's going to happen.
43:01You are going to get
43:02yourself a job
43:02and then a flight home.
43:05Except
43:05I am home
43:07and I like it.
43:08In fact,
43:09I'm having a blast.
43:10No,
43:10I have looked after
43:11Dermot's house.
43:12Repairs,
43:13renters,
43:14bills.
43:14And if you think
43:15you can just walk in
43:16and take all that from me...
43:17Where's this coming from?
43:19You might be all fun
43:20and buddy-buddy now.
43:21What happens
43:21when your money runs out?
43:23That's not fair.
43:23I'm a nice guy.
43:25Then leave.
43:31So how about we
43:33throw aside
43:34the person's stuff
43:34and just talk business?
43:38I mean,
43:38we're both local traders.
43:40Trying to keep
43:40a head above water.
43:42You got the product.
43:43I got the outlet.
43:45Makes sense.
43:47Guess it does.
43:48I'll come up with a price then.
43:49No, no.
43:51No, I will.
43:52I don't expect
43:53that it costs
43:54the same as that
43:54mass-produced rubbish.
43:56Yeah, but I still
43:57gotta make a profit.
43:58So do I.
44:00People will pay
44:01for a superior product.
44:03Okay.
44:04We can agree in principle
44:05and
44:06come up with a price later, yeah?
44:07No, no, no.
44:08No, no, no, no.
44:09The costs are non-negotiable.
44:11You know how good I am.
44:13It's dough.
44:14I can walk, huh?
44:15Okay.
44:16Okay.
44:17Deal.
44:18Right.
44:20Wait.
44:21Let's make money, so.
44:23Let's do that.
44:24Right.
44:36Well?
44:37I dropped the bait
44:38and lured him in.
44:44I got him just where I want him.
44:51How's it going?
44:54He's probably just freaking.
44:56Yeah.
44:57Probably.
44:58I know it's no picnic
44:59for you either.
45:01Thought of him getting time.
45:03It won't make a difference.
45:05He won't be with me either way.
45:06What?
45:08He's cut me off his life.
45:10Handed it to me
45:11in a nice, tidy parcel
45:12like I'm provided for generously,
45:14but
45:15I'm gone.
45:17Maybe it's just a stress.
45:19Doesn't get much clearer
45:20than my aunt today.
45:21Like, he
45:22he could have said
45:22let me think about it
45:23or
45:25you know,
45:25let's get the trial over with,
45:26but
45:27he said no.
45:29Loud and clear
45:30for the world to hear.
45:33See you, Vandal.
45:38Don't be giving me
45:39those snake eyes.
45:41There was a pair of us in it.
45:42Darren isn't talking to me.
45:44I don't fall for that, Ply.
45:46You give in once
45:47and they have you.
45:48He's a child,
45:49not a Machiavellian con man.
45:51He's trying it on.
45:53Virgil used to try that
45:54with me too
45:55until I cut it at the quick.
45:57Yeah, well.
45:58Yeah, well, what?
46:00Nothing.
46:01It would have turned out
46:02a hell of a lot worse
46:03if I hadn't cracked
46:03the whip.
46:05Has your young fella
46:06got over himself?
46:08What did I tell you?
46:09How am I the villain?
46:10At least I got a bit
46:11of Christianity into him
46:12which is more than
46:13can be said for most people.
46:14You included.
46:16All he learned from you
46:17was that you can't
46:18trust anyone.
46:19I'll take over the studio.
46:21It's no need.
46:22He decided he's not
46:23making his communion.
46:24Would you tell him
46:25to cop on to himself?
46:26I don't talk to my kids
46:28like that.
46:28You go near him again
46:30and I'll burst you.
46:35Why did you turn
46:36Ciara down?
46:38I'm not in the right place.
46:40So that's why
46:41you shut her out
46:42of your life entirely.
46:43Tied her up like
46:44a loose end.
46:45She told you.
46:46What happened?
46:48Yous were all loved up.
46:50Because you haven't noticed
46:51I've got a lot going on.
46:52So?
46:53You stop.
46:54Things haven't changed
46:56for her.
46:57She got down
46:57on her knees to you.
46:58A court case
46:59starts on Tuesday.
47:00I can barely handle that.
47:01So that's what
47:02this is about.
47:03I thought it was
47:03to do with Melanie.
47:07I knew it.
47:08You did the tort
47:09on Ciara.
47:09Don't be ridiculous.
47:11Fine.
47:11I'll ask Melanie.
47:12Alright, look.
47:12It was once.
47:14And it was after
47:14I'd settled matters
47:15with Ciara.
47:16You wouldn't be
47:16the first crim
47:17who wanted to get
47:18his jollies
47:18in case he ended
47:19up inside.
47:20I am not a criminal.
47:22That's all you have
47:22to say.
47:23You stop this,
47:25please.
47:25Oh, sorry.
47:26Are you the victim?
47:27Because I thought
47:28that was Anto.
47:29But at least
47:30you're alive
47:30to face the music.
47:32Nicky, grow up.
47:38I know it must
47:39be hard on you too.
47:40You know, you,
47:41him and Alex
47:41were a proper
47:42little family.
47:44He refused
47:44to take part
47:45and told his teacher
47:47that he wanted
47:48to be pagan.
47:50I wonder where
47:50he heard that word.
47:52Cash force.
47:53That's not the way
47:54business works.
47:54Sorry about this, folks,
47:56but Paul here
47:56wants me to give
47:57him my stuff
47:59and not give me
48:00any money.
48:01You're a good man.
48:02Sleeping with Melanie.
48:04Is it the real thing?
48:07It's the real thing.
48:08It's the real thing.
48:10It's the real thing.
48:12It's the real thing.
48:13It's the real thing.
48:13It's the real thing.
48:13It's the real thing.
48:13It's the real thing.
48:14It's the real thing.
48:14It's the real thing.
48:14It's the real thing.
48:15It's the real thing.
48:18It's the real thing.
48:18It's the real thing.
48:19It's the real thing.
48:20You
