00:03Music
00:24Sorry, but are we sharing?
00:26We just got here and nobody told me anything.
00:31Music
00:36Music
00:39Music
00:40Music
00:40Music
00:40Music
00:41Music
00:48Music
00:56I shouldn't have touched that.
00:58No, definitely not.
00:59Not a way to introduce yourself.
01:01No, it's just that I wasn't thinking, you know.
01:03I was just trying to get my head around things.
01:05You'll get used to who it is.
01:07You're lucky. Danny's one of the decent ones.
01:10I'd be glad I wasn't nervous, don't they?
01:12Oh, he was in here a few seconds ago.
01:15He's not very friendly.
01:16He'll muscles on Marley.
01:17Now he's a few cells down, he was just checking you're no competition.
01:21I mean, there's three of us.
01:23Some cells have four.
01:24What?
01:24This here's Mr Johnson. He's fairly easy going, aren't you?
01:28As long as you behave yourself.
01:30Oh, I will.
01:31Yeah, look, the cell is what it is, yeah.
01:32Make the most of it, because nobody wants a moaner.
01:34Yeah, well, it's better than remand.
01:37I ain't been waiting since Friday to get a transfer, so...
01:40Yeah, I'm just waiting to taste the food.
01:42I can imagine.
01:44No, no, you'd be surprised. Like, it's gourmet, good as.
01:48What am I, Mr Johnson?
01:49No.
01:51Keeping prisoners happy has been an unspoken policy for a while now.
01:54If a chef ever makes it in front of a judge,
01:57they always get a custodial sentence.
01:58Yeah, yeah, no matter what the crime.
02:00Yeah, we get the criminal chefs in here.
02:03Everybody's happy.
02:05Desi was saying you were like a big fancy chef with your own restaurant.
02:09I mean, you never had a chance.
02:11No, I'm not a chef.
02:13Still, though, you were always going down.
02:19I wasn't falling for it.
02:21Right, I'm going to get serious.
02:24Look, you don't want to be talking from me.
02:26Have a sit down with Danny here.
02:28He'll put you straight and help things work in here, all right?
02:30Thanks.
02:32Right.
02:33Well, look, there's a few do's and don'ts, yeah?
02:35You've already learnt one.
02:37Never touch anyone's stuff.
02:49No cellmate.
02:50Oh, I'll believe this.
02:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:54Suck it up.
02:55Rat.
02:56Don't you call me that.
02:58You were waiting to spill your guts to the guards.
03:00Yeah, but I didn't.
03:01Big difference.
03:02You shot me.
03:04Wait until you find out what happens to rats in here.
03:08You won't have to put up with me in the office as much.
03:10Or there'll be full time in common.
03:13Well, I'll miss your sparkling wit.
03:16You needed a few days, but you have to ease yourself back.
03:19Maybe.
03:20Look, I've set up meetings tomorrow.
03:22We're solid clients to get you going.
03:24And Rafferty wants to talk to you as well about the marketing plans
03:27for a swords build.
03:30Actually, how many regulars have we got?
03:32Not one of them texting me to say good luck.
03:34Before or after.
03:37Not all of them cancelled their accounts.
03:39You know, there's more than one way of showing support.
03:42We ordered 20 minutes ago, is it on the way?
03:44ASAP, I'm really sorry about the day.
03:45Well, at least you managed to open today.
03:47I'm sorry about yesterday.
03:49We had an emergency staff meeting because Paul left us in a bit of a heap.
03:52Yeah, I can imagine.
03:54Cancel mine.
03:55I may as well head.
03:57Well, wait a while, I'll come with you.
03:59Oh, look, I'll get you.
04:00Can I give you a coffee, please?
04:00Yes.
04:02He's going to health.
04:03Where Anto's ashes are scattered.
04:06Oh.
04:07Well, it's probably something he needs to do.
04:09You know, pay his respects.
04:10Well, he must have said sorry a million times.
04:12Like feeling guilty is holding him back.
04:15Maybe just let him deal with it in his own way.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Or himself.
04:19Like ignore him like all his customers.
04:24I'm not saying we should celebrate, but I'll organise a get together in the house later.
04:29Like people can rally around.
04:30Will you come?
04:32Text me when.
04:33I'll be there.
04:35A party for the man who killed Anto.
04:37You sure that's a good idea?
04:39Mondo always said it was an accident.
04:41The jury agreed.
04:42Anto's family will take a while before they get used to seeing Mondo walking around like nothing happened.
04:47Maybe you should give them some time.
04:52Sorry.
04:56Now that's all here.
04:59Yeah, look, I don't want to give you false hope.
05:02Like you did before the sentencing.
05:05Your cockiness influenced the judge.
05:10Look, I don't want to kick you when you're down, but blaming me is going to get you nowhere either.
05:14So where do we go from here? Because it's a nightmare.
05:17Yeah, I know it's awful, but you'll get out early with good behaviour.
05:23So how long do you think I'm going to?
05:25Maybe six months.
05:27Or less.
05:28They're letting people out early with overcrowding.
05:32Okay, just keep your head down.
05:35Yeah.
05:42Well I said be quick.
05:43I didn't mean you had to rush.
05:45You can make another call if you want.
05:49Can you tell me you have to get back to my cell?
05:52Sure.
05:53Well.
05:57Morning.
05:58Hi.
06:01I have ten minutes.
06:02I'm not late.
06:05Mrs Harkin had 20 questions for me about my living arrangements with Pete.
06:10Very fascinated.
06:11I wonder where she heard about it.
06:15And she let me down.
06:17I left a message for you to sort out the nail bar.
06:19It's still not done.
06:20What?
06:21That's Lily's department.
06:23I'll do it with her today.
06:25She's gone.
06:26She won't be here.
06:27So will you get it done this morning?
06:29And you'll have to call some clients to rearrange.
06:33We're a staff member down.
06:34So step up.
06:37Good man.
06:38Hi.
06:42Georgie?
06:43I think Dolores is after firing Lily from the salon.
06:47For any particular reason?
06:48You know as much as I do.
06:50Well, these things happen.
06:52Bosses united, I should have guessed.
06:53No, it's not that.
06:54It's just none of my business.
06:56Lily is more than just a work colleague.
06:57She's a friend.
06:59So call her?
07:00She doesn't do sympathy.
07:02And she'd never tell me why.
07:04If only I knew and then I could figure out a way to fix it.
07:09Would you maybe get to suss off Dolores?
07:12Come on, please.
07:15No promises.
07:17Thanks.
07:27A place for everything and everything in its place.
07:30Except you.
07:31What's a big mover like you doing in a kip like this?
07:35Trying to get by?
07:36I suppose you could have asked me the same question.
07:39Oh.
07:40Like me? You were cut.
07:44We are not alike.
07:46There's a hierarchy in here.
07:47A ladder.
07:47I'm at the top.
07:48You.
07:49You're on the bottom run, clinging on.
07:51Barely.
07:53Look, I don't want trouble with anybody, okay?
07:56I'm just reintroducing myself.
07:58I still can't believe Paul Brennan ended up inside.
08:01I mean, I had you as a bit dodgy, a bit up yourself, but a full-blown crimp.
08:07I'm not.
08:08Oh.
08:08We didn't do it.
08:10We had to hear that before.
08:11Except I was talking to your cellmate Kev.
08:14You, him and J.J. Nash's young people have pulled the job there a while ago.
08:17One of these were never caught for.
08:19It's an awful team when your own crew disrespects you.
08:23Kev called you a waster.
08:25Amongst other things.
08:31What else did he say?
08:33Don't let a little scut like Kev telling her about you.
08:36Would you look the top gun himself came to say hello, huh, Karl?
08:39That's a story, man.
08:41At least you've one good cellmate.
08:43Result.
08:47I'm not the first he tried to intimidate with that smile.
08:51No.
08:52He was after something, but I don't know what.
08:55Yeah, that might be the first day paranoia talking.
08:58They're not allowed to get you.
09:00Only some of them.
09:02If you are right about Cottle, I'd find a soft way of saying that one.
09:19You should just send me a text next time and I'll book you in straight away, alright?
09:21Thank you so much.
09:22Thanks for that.
09:24Sorry.
09:24Thanks.
09:28Dolores is in the back.
09:30Thanks for doing this.
09:31She'll probably tell me to keep my nose out.
09:34I would.
09:34She respects you as a fellow business titan.
09:36And I admire you as somebody who cares.
09:38Now you're overplaying it.
09:40Gwen is always singing your praises.
09:42That's why I thought I'd get you to help.
09:44Look, I'll ask her once, but I am not pressing things.
09:47Hi.
09:49Still not done?
09:50I've been busy.
09:51You're not now.
09:55Why did you fire Lily?
09:57It was very sudden.
09:59I normally have to jump through hoops to get rid of an employee,
10:02unless they've done something seriously wrong.
10:05Lily wouldn't.
10:06Oh, I'm blessed with two experts.
10:08Tread carefully is all I'm saying.
10:11Lily's a woman of the world.
10:12If there's even a hint of unfair dismissal.
10:15It might just be safer to bring her back.
10:17Work whatever it is out.
10:18You shouldn't have time to be acting like a union rep, badly.
10:22I don't even know why you were here.
10:24I didn't sack Lily.
10:25She's gone to England.
10:27It's salon business.
10:30Is Lily coming back?
10:35She never said goodbye.
10:37Or even told me she was going.
10:39I hope she did to Gwen.
10:48Someone hammered in.
10:50Look at the state of my hair.
10:53It's fine.
10:55Hello.
10:55I'm here. I made a special effort for you.
10:58I really appreciate it.
11:00It's so nice to see someone who's not proud of this place.
11:04You look gorgeous.
11:06I had to put my belongings into a metal detector.
11:10I'm just not a visitor and I'm just a...
11:12not a sad loser.
11:13You'll never be that.
11:16Hey, look, I even wore the platter ring you got me that time in Galway.
11:22This is Operation Maple Smile.
11:26Yeah, look, the...
11:27the memories are great.
11:29This past world has been amazing, but...
11:33it's not where to go.
11:35Says who?
11:35Look, I've thought about this.
11:37I've been stuck in here for months.
11:41I'm not asking you to wait around for me.
11:43It's my choice, Paul.
11:45You're firing yourself in here week after week.
11:47Going through the same thing.
11:49Hold that prisoners eyeing you up.
11:51Making smart comments.
11:52It's...
11:53it's a novelty now, but...
11:55the reality will kick in.
11:57I can take it.
11:58Nicola,
11:59I don't want any of this for you.
12:02I'm gonna take you off the visitors list, okay?
12:20Don't try and get me to change my mind.
12:23I'm struggling to get something clear.
12:26Are you dumping me?
12:28Until I can do something to change it.
12:31I'm a nobody in here.
12:32And I don't want you seeing me that pathetic.
12:35Shake yourself up.
12:37You're starting to remind me of that weakling, Claw.
12:40I'm sacrificing whatever we may or may not have to save you.
12:44How is that weak?
12:45I make decisions for myself, Paul.
12:48You don't get to kick me to touch.
12:51Look, forget the doom and gloom.
12:54You'll be out of here in no time.
12:56Well, not according to Melanie.
12:58Jumped up backstreet law clerk.
13:01I'll find you professional representation.
13:03They'll find loads of grounds for appeal.
13:06Wait till you see.
13:06Still gonna change my behaviour at this entity.
13:09Melanie reckons that's what's swung against me.
13:11And whose fault was that?
13:13Melanie had you all pumped up thinking it was the virality.
13:16It'll be our first point in the appeal.
13:18Lousy legal representation.
13:22Hey, we can do this.
13:24Say it.
13:28We can do this.
13:31Whose party is it?
13:33Well, welcome home for Mondo.
13:36Yeah, I know it wasn't a waiver.
13:38Well, he hasn't been himself in months.
13:40I could tell.
13:41Yeah, in his own mind he'd already gone to prison.
13:43Like it's all still an adjustment room.
13:48There's no winners in all of this.
13:50Er, you will join us, sir.
13:55Nobody's asking you to put on a Mondo t-shirt.
13:58Just...
13:58I'm treating like a priori.
14:00I'm not.
14:01I wouldn't.
14:02Do you mean a lot to see you at the house?
14:04I'll pop in for a few minutes after work.
14:06Ah, thanks.
14:09See you later.
14:19Bags of booze and party food.
14:22I knew they were having a thing for Mondo,
14:23so I asked them to keep it low key.
14:24Looks like they've gone full blowout.
14:26As long as it's not in public.
14:28Oh.
14:28A private due to trample on Daz's grave.
14:35Perfect.
14:36Thanks.
14:40They just upped their pizza order.
14:43Oh, well done.
14:44I don't think the staff and Beano's are gonna thank me.
14:47We're already stretched.
14:48You should hire some.
14:50I have too many bills to clear.
14:53Anyway, it's not just work.
14:54I get home completely exhausted,
14:57and Ben is crowding me with this rubbish.
14:59Cult movies and 70s disco music are his latest obsession.
15:02And last week it was old video games.
15:04He's trying to be different.
15:06I thought he'd be here a week, and it's already been over a month.
15:10Sorry for going on, it's just...
15:11I can't exactly say this stuff to him.
15:14Why not?
15:15Because it's Ben.
15:16Picking on a child.
15:19How are my two favorite people?
15:20Just great.
15:24Is it me?
15:26It's work, home, and maybe you two.
15:30I'll see you.
15:38I'll see you.
15:42What was our visit?
15:44Yeah.
15:44Pretty good.
15:47Did you ever...
15:48Did you ever hear the saying,
15:50the one that got away?
15:51I'm sure they'd only catch you again.
15:53No.
15:54I'm talking about the woman,
15:55she'd never let be her ex.
15:58She'd just...
15:59robbed a hole and not let go.
16:02She's...
16:03helping me with my appeal, you know?
16:06The white master list are in the hands of it still.
16:09Well, but lesson number two.
16:12Every job's open,
16:13this place thinks they had useless representation.
16:15And lesson three,
16:16keep your personal stuff to yourself.
16:19Yeah, but it's you.
16:20You've known a day.
16:22Alright, I'm not going to be spilling my life story.
16:28But here, look.
16:30Finish what you're saying if you want, alright?
16:32I feel gone no further.
16:35It's just that she's...
16:37just organising my appeal and...
16:40might get out.
16:44Well, just keep enjoying the visit.
16:57Oh, see yous later.
17:04Sash keeps you busy.
17:05Yeah, she'd be lost without me.
17:07I don't doubt it.
17:09So, do you see much of Lily these days?
17:12Where did that come from?
17:14Making conversation.
17:16She's in here a bit.
17:17I bump into her in the pig.
17:20Hugh's trying to impress her with his cuisine,
17:21but she's actually just there for the discounts.
17:24So, you're getting on.
17:26No major explosion so far.
17:29I might even join her this evening for a drink if she's in.
17:32Sorry.
17:33Hey.
17:35Come here.
17:36Have you spoken to Lily recently?
17:40About...
17:41Spill?
17:44She's back in England.
17:46For what reason and for how long, we don't know.
17:49That would bother me why.
18:01I didn't have to go to all of this.
18:03Oh, she was right.
18:05We don't you think of that you're all alone.
18:07And I have three supporters anyway.
18:09Yeah, more on the way.
18:11Pete, Doug, Nora.
18:13They understand this could have happened to anyone.
18:16I went out to where Anto's ashes were scattered.
18:19And just started talking to him.
18:21Like he was there.
18:24Explained everything from my side.
18:27Everything that led up to that night.
18:30That punch.
18:32It's the first time in ages I've felt any kind of peace.
18:37Is that mad?
18:39No, Mondo.
18:40Not at all.
18:43Whatever it takes.
18:45And you hold on to that.
18:48Look, the jury thought about it and they understood how it happened.
18:52Most people will come to the same conclusion.
18:55Eventually.
18:56And you hold on to that too.
18:57Hiya.
18:58Hiya.
18:59Hi.
18:59I can't stay long but I wanted to show my face.
19:04It must have been awful for you.
19:07But it's finally over.
19:09Yeah.
19:09We're getting there.
19:10Slowly.
19:11Everyone's arriving now.
19:17Hi.
19:19Hi.
19:29I had to come see how the celebrations were going.
19:33I have you no class at all.
19:38I don't know the right thing to say or do.
19:41Yeah, Mondo's trying his best.
19:43Okay, he's definitely not celebrating.
19:45He went to Hoth today.
19:47To pay his respects.
19:50I didn't know if even bringing flowers would be okay or...
19:54If it would offend you.
19:55It would.
19:57Because it would do nothing except make you feel better.
19:59Can you just leave him alone?
20:01I left that courtroom with one message loud and clear.
20:05My da meant nothing.
20:10His death was just...
20:12one of those things.
20:14We should all just go home and get over it.
20:18I won't.
20:24Hayley needs to say that.
20:26Yeah, but how is making Mondo miserable helping anyone?
20:29Yeah.
20:38I want to support Hayley.
20:40But it's doing her no good.
20:42None.
20:44Mondo's in bad shape too.
20:48See ya.
20:49Yeah, bye.
20:53Hey.
20:55Hey.
20:57The Wolfman's dies in 30 minutes.
20:59What?
21:00I never agreed to this movie marathon.
21:01But it's the great launch, Amy.
21:03I don't even know who that is.
21:05And you didn't either until you started going on to all those horror movie sites.
21:08I want to open myself up to new experiences.
21:10I'll do the same for you even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming.
21:14Ben, what are your long term plans?
21:18I have zero idea.
21:21But I can give you my short term once to skip this place.
21:25I had this band hang out with a buddy of mine.
21:29Will you miss me?
21:31Obviously.
21:32But I will envy you.
21:33All that sun.
21:35Ben.
21:49Hi.
21:51Hi.
21:52I want you to hand over all files relating to Paul's case.
21:57Every scrap of paperwork, no matter how insignificant.
22:00I take my instruction from Paul.
22:02I'm acting for him now.
22:04Lucky Paul.
22:06Make it a priority.
22:08His case certainly wasn't.
22:10I've asked Paul to outline in detail any and all advice you gave him.
22:14In person or on the phone.
22:16So thorough.
22:16I'll be handing the lot over to a proper solicitor.
22:20Who will be able to spot your incompetence for a mile off.
22:23Let's see how smug you are then.
22:25I may take you seriously when Paul drops me and Clare as his legal team.
22:30Until he does, and he won't if he has any sense.
22:34Come into the office and make your request to Clare.
22:36We could do with a laugh.
22:46You take the mattress, yeah?
22:48That thing is flit.
22:49We're hardly going to make the owl lad sleep on the floor.
22:52Oh God.
22:55Well, I will if you like.
22:58Thanks.
22:59Are you sure that's what you want?
23:04Well, the mattress will be fine.
23:06Yeah.
23:07It's all right, man.
23:10No.
23:20Kyle came to see me today.
23:22Did you see him?
23:27No, yeah.
23:30Well, cross me once and I will.
23:33Next time your team come on.
23:49She's very down.
23:51Nothing I say can get through.
23:52I know exactly what she needs to do.
23:54Until he can't walk some horse.
23:56I don't know.
23:57That'll be you.
23:59Oh, by the way, thanks for me and myself.
24:02Paul, my job here is to make your life easier.
24:04Are you moving on from Lily?
24:06She's got no bearing in my life.
24:08Am I wrong?
24:10Overthinking will give you a headache.
24:12What's up?
24:12Ma has decided that me and Darren need to go to the police.
24:16And tell all.
