00:14Oh, I was hoping to bump into you. Have you got a minute?
00:17Quickly. These bags are heavy.
00:19Let me take them from you.
00:20I'm fine.
00:21No, no, it's all right. I got them. I got them.
00:25What did you want to talk about?
00:26I want to apologise.
00:28For what?
00:29For being pig-headed.
00:33Look, it's you I want, Dolores.
00:35For us to be together, even if that means we live apart.
00:39What made you change your mind?
00:41I had a bit of time to think about it.
00:43And what about all that stuff about us needing to live together so people know we're a couple?
00:47Well, but that was wrong in me. It was very old-fashioned.
00:51Well, I can see that now, and one must move at the times.
00:56I don't believe a word of it.
00:57You're telling me what I want to hear.
01:00Yeah, you feel exactly the same as you did before.
01:02Look, I'm giving you a win here.
01:03You could be a bit more gracious.
01:05This isn't about winning.
01:06It's about us wanting the same thing.
01:09Now, if we don't have that, all we have is history.
01:17So, what are your plans for your time off?
01:20I don't know.
01:22Virgil, I didn't want to suspend you. It was part of the deal.
01:26I know.
01:27Melanie said that Clare got us a really good settlement, so we just take our medicine, move on.
01:34Damn, I'm going to have to free on the documents in my place.
01:37I've got to run.
01:39Hey.
01:42Pleased with the outcome of the claim?
01:44We got the best possible result for Gar.
01:46Sure.
01:48You could be a bit more contrite.
01:50Sorry?
01:51It could have been a lot worse for Gar.
01:53He gave you a job, and your incompetence cost him.
01:56I'm good at my job.
01:57The claimant didn't think so.
01:59Some crank looking for a payout.
02:00You were liable, under the law.
02:03A happy coincidence for you, huh?
02:05What are you suggesting?
02:07You still hold a grudge because me and Gwen wouldn't let you move in.
02:10I bet you pushed for my suspension.
02:12It didn't even enter my mind when I was negotiating.
02:15I thought Gar said Clare negotiated the deal.
02:18She did.
02:20I was just assisting.
02:21If you're so blameless, why didn't Gar refuse the deal?
02:25You should be grateful you still have a job.
02:27I doubt you would if the boss wasn't your brother.
02:35Hiya.
02:37Hey.
02:38I just had a call with Theo.
02:39I told him to pack his bags.
02:41I got the call.
02:42He'll be on a ferry to Scotland.
02:43Watch it, watch it.
02:45Here comes your best friend.
02:47Morning, guard.
02:48I'm guessing you still know information on the whereabouts of your son.
02:51If I did, you'd be the first to know.
02:54When we catch him, which we will.
02:56We'll have his phone and we'll be able to prove that you were helping him avoid arrest.
03:00The only thing I'd tell Theo now would be to give himself up and pay his debt to society.
03:09Is he really gone?
03:11Just the way he wants to play it.
03:14Then how are you going to get him out?
03:16He's stuck to us at the minute.
03:18Yeah, that's what I'm counting on.
03:19If he's keeping such close tabs on me, he won't notice Theo slipping out with the lad I have coming
03:24to collect him.
03:34You're packed.
03:36Tell me this means you're gone.
03:39I got the call from you, Dad.
03:41I'm on the ferry out of here.
03:43Ferry to Scotland.
03:45And then Bilbao after that.
03:47It's in Spain.
03:49I know where Bilbao is.
03:51It's a long trip.
03:53You'll have lots of time to brush up when you're Spanish.
03:56Have you much?
03:57Jambon.
03:58That's French.
04:00Yeah, well, I'm sure it can't be that hard.
04:03It'll be fine.
04:05Look, I have nephews in the south.
04:07I can let them know you're coming.
04:08They might be able to get you work.
04:11Thanks, but I'm going on the street from here on in.
04:13No offence.
04:15They're not crooks.
04:16They work in my pub.
04:17It's a legitimate business.
04:19Of course.
04:20Sorry.
04:21And if they were dodgy, given your recent track record, I wouldn't be recommending you to them.
04:26No offence.
04:28Fair enough.
04:29Thanks.
04:31When do you go?
04:33Sometime tonight.
04:34Me da's it all organised.
04:37I'll make you a last meal.
04:38A full Irish.
04:40A breakfast?
04:41The rashes are manky over there.
04:43And you can't get a pudding to save your life.
04:46Get it while you can.
04:48Sounds good.
04:49Thanks.
04:55Mr Johnson.
04:58What is it now, Brennan?
04:59Oh, is there something I could have a chat about getting on a work detail?
05:02Not a bad idea.
05:04Get yourself on the list.
05:06There's a waiting list.
05:07Usually for a few months.
05:09Oh, right.
05:09Probably takes that long to vet some of the lads, yeah?
05:12I mean, I'm not really a criminal, you know what I mean?
05:15I shouldn't really be here.
05:17Judge thought you should.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Anyway, who do I talk to to make that happen?
05:23That'll be Assistant Chief Officer Holt.
05:25Oh, right.
05:27It's not something that you could sort, no.
05:29I'm afraid not, no.
05:31Okay.
05:31So what I do, just go to our office?
05:34I wouldn't do that.
05:35But what would you do?
05:36Sorry.
05:37I'm sorry.
05:38Really sorry.
05:39It's just that I get a bit antsy, you know, when I'm not busy.
05:42I'm just used to the cutting thrust of business.
05:45Real mover and shaker, are you?
05:47Yeah, well, I have my moments.
05:50That's why I thought I could be useful around here.
05:52Well, you'd be a great help.
05:54No doubt.
05:55Right.
05:56So what do I do?
05:57Do I just put in an official application or what?
06:02Maybe it's better if you just mention it to her next time you see her.
06:05Great.
06:07I mean, the food, you know, I could change up the menus.
06:10I mean, you know, the food itself, it's not bad, surprisingly, you know.
06:14But, you know, we could do it a bit more variety.
06:17Well, why don't you say all of that to Assistant Chief Officer Holt?
06:21I'm sure she'd be delighted to get your input on the menu.
06:24Oh, aye.
06:25So, so, when's she back on?
06:27Well, she should be around this afternoon.
06:29Okay.
06:30Well, I'll say to her then.
06:31Chill.
06:33Thanks.
06:49Don't tell me, huh?
06:51Did you get a report that Steele Nash was hiding under one of the tables in the community centre?
06:56You'll be laughing out at the other side of your face, Shark.
06:59Yeah?
06:59Well, let's say if he was here, you'd have tripped over him by now.
07:02Not everyone here is unwilling to support the guards as yourself.
07:05Really?
07:06What's that supposed to mean?
07:10Afternoon, Miss Foley.
07:21Is this the plan for the next two weeks?
07:23Because I'm not living in the twilight zone until you go back to work.
07:28As what?
07:29Garry's charity case?
07:31What are you on about?
07:34Fergal.
07:35I'm not a mind reader.
07:39I was talking to Melanie.
07:41Right?
07:41What she said?
07:43She said Garry is lucky that I didn't cost him any more money and that I was a pity hire.
07:49Well, like, you're not exactly a typical nepo baby.
07:52You're an experienced personal trainer.
07:55That's why he hired you.
07:57You'll do your time and go back to work as normal.
08:01Garry only suspended you because he had to.
08:03Right?
08:03He's only going to argue with Claire.
08:05It was Melanie that did the deal.
08:08Seriously?
08:09She's denying it, but I know she organised it.
08:13What a snake.
08:15Yeah, like she said, her's just lucky that I didn't do any more damage to his business.
08:24What's wrong with him?
08:26Melanie's gotten into his head.
08:28About what?
08:30Tell him that Garry only puts up with him because he's his brother.
08:34Why would she do that?
08:36Because she's a wench.
08:38Well, Fergal knows he's good at his job.
08:40He shouldn't let her get to him.
08:42It's easy to get into his head.
08:44I'm going to have a word with Melanie.
08:46Well, don't you go starting around.
08:48I'm not.
08:49Fergal's changed his life around, right?
08:51I'm not going to let him get slapped down by Melanie.
08:53Good night.
09:03Pete.
09:05Any of your thoughts?
09:08I wonder if I could, er...
09:10trouble you for a bit of advice.
09:12I think a female perspective might help me.
09:15Well, I can't claim to speak for Dolores, but I'll be honest.
09:18Well, call me traditional, Renee, but shouldn't a husband and wife live together?
09:23Otherwise, me and Dolores might as well be courting.
09:27Well, Bob and I can't live together anymore.
09:31But he's still very much my husband.
09:34I'm sorry, Renee.
09:35I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
09:37I know, I know.
09:39Besides, you and Dolores are a bit past courting.
09:43Exactly.
09:44This modern arrangement is like some hippie, free love carrier.
09:48Are you saying you don't trust her?
09:51Oh, of course I trust her.
09:53I just can't get my head around this living apart thing.
09:56It doesn't feel right.
09:58I happen to agree with you.
10:01But I'm not Dolores.
10:03What's more important?
10:05That you have the marriage you imagine.
10:08Or that it's Dolores that you're married to.
10:13You know, I nearly lost her before.
10:17More than once.
10:19I won't let that happen again.
10:21So?
10:23So if this is how Dolores wants things to be, then I'll go along with it.
10:29Well, tell her that then.
10:32And Pete, try to seem enthusiastic about it.
10:44And you can't get a decent rasher in Spain?
10:46They have a whole museum dedicated to the stuff in Madrid.
10:49But they love all that cured meat.
10:51And it's nothing like ours.
10:54The guards?
10:56Unlikely.
10:57But you'd better wait beside the back door just in case.
11:00And if you hear me making a fuss, get yourself over the garden wall.
11:02Quick.
11:09Oh.
11:12Where is he?
11:14You haven't let him out of the house, have you?
11:16He's in the kitchen having a cuppa.
11:18He says he's getting out this evening.
11:20At last.
11:21No, not any more.
11:23What's going on?
11:25The van's changed.
11:26We have to go now.
11:27He says who?
11:28Where's JJ?
11:29We don't have time for this.
11:30Look, I'm not going anywhere until I speak with me da.
11:49Here, don't turn that on.
11:51Have the guards nabbed him?
11:52No.
11:53Then why?
11:54Because they could be tracking your phone.
11:57How's he going to explain it if you're making calls to him?
12:01Knowles has already taken great pleasure in threatening him
12:03that he's going to do them if he helps you.
12:05He's going to go after me da.
12:07No, your da's well able for Knowles.
12:09As long as we get you out now.
12:11It's the same plan that JJ organised, only it's brought forwards.
12:15Look, I don't want to go cause any more hassle, so let's go.
12:18Who's taking me?
12:19You?
12:19Well, Victor's waiting for you at the back.
12:21And he knows where to bring you.
12:23Victor?
12:23His missus is a guard.
12:25She's only a trainee.
12:27Victor knows how to keep his gob shut.
12:29If he gets stopped, he can say that you just flagged him down on the street
12:32and he knew nothing about your warrant.
12:36So that's it then?
12:37Tell me da, thanks and I'm sorry.
12:41When Victor drops you off, he's going to give you a burner phone.
12:44That way you can tell him yourself.
12:47All right, that's Victor.
12:49Well, you better go, he's ready.
12:52I'll see you around.
12:55What a mess.
12:57Remind me never to work with you.
12:59And tell JJ we're square.
13:08Two pair?
13:10Kings.
13:12Want to go again?
13:14No, I'm going to, er, stretch me legs.
13:16You coming?
13:16No, I think I'm going to hang around here in case Holt comes away, you know.
13:19I'll see if you've got me a job.
13:21Right, well, see you later.
13:22Yeah, see you.
13:26Hey, Holt's on the wing.
13:28Good luck, yeah?
13:29Cheers, yeah.
13:34Officer Holt.
13:37Brennan.
13:38Hiya, did, er, did Desi have a word with you?
13:42Sorry, Mr, Mr Johnson.
13:44About what?
13:45Well, I was hoping to get an award detail.
13:48Fine.
13:49I'll have a look.
13:50Great.
13:51Something in the kitchen would probably be best.
13:55All right.
13:56There's some kind of managerial position down there.
13:58We're going to, we'll get the most out of my skill set.
14:03Anyway, anything.
14:04Just down past the days.
14:06Did you think you were coming to Club Med?
14:09Yeah, fair point.
14:11But like I said, you know, anything at all.
14:13Yeah.
14:14I'll take a look.
14:16Right, and do you know when you'll be able to let me know?
14:20When I let you know.
14:31I hear your house guest has checked out.
14:35You'll have a drink?
14:37Large scotch.
14:39Top shelf.
14:41Two doubles, please.
14:44A lot of drama this afternoon, getting him out.
14:47Carol has good instincts.
14:49I trust him.
14:50He was a bit over the top when he asked me.
14:52You should be thanking her.
14:54The lad wasn't found sheltering at your place.
14:57I'll deny he was if I'm ever asked.
15:00I wouldn't expect anything else.
15:03I suppose it's too soon to know if he got on okay.
15:07No news is good news.
15:12I told him I'd put him in contact with me nephews when he gets there.
15:16That's very kind of you.
15:18I call it a bonus.
15:20On top of the favour I was paying back.
15:25To a clean slate.
15:29A closed book.
15:35Don't you fancy?
15:36A word with her.
15:38Please don't.
15:40Relax.
15:45Can I have a quick word?
15:47Sorry?
15:48A word.
15:49What is it?
15:51I think that you owe Fergal an apology.
15:54I don't think I do.
15:56Well let's talk about it.
15:57Sorry, I really don't have time for this.
15:59Yeah, well...
16:00Make time.
16:01What do you think you're doing?
16:03You need to drop this grudge that you have against me and Fergal.
16:06I can assure you, neither of you are even on my radar.
16:09Sure.
16:10Is that why you got him suspended from work?
16:12He got what his incompetence deserved.
16:15And did he deserve you ragging on him?
16:17And telling that he's Gar's pet project?
16:20The truth hurts.
16:21You don't even know the guy?
16:22We are talking about Fergal.
16:24Mr Far Right.
16:25Yeah, well, he's changed.
16:27And if you'd had the same upbringing as him, you would have done some crazy stuff too.
16:31Do you know who had the same upbringing?
16:33Gar.
16:34I don't see him terrorising his community.
16:37Yeah, well Gar, who you trying to shack up with when you needed a gaffe?
16:42Yeah, I know all about that, so you're no better than us.
16:45Except I've worked really, really hard to make myself better than you, Gwen.
16:50So next time you or Fergal get a case of the feels,
16:53maybe try and invest in some therapy instead of coming at me.
16:57Okay?
17:04How long does it take Holt to check a list?
17:08Do you fancy a game of cards?
17:09No, I don't want to play another game of cards.
17:11Come on, it'll help take your mind off Holt.
17:14It's nearly lock-up.
17:15And I want to know if I'm on Mortydale tomorrow or not.
17:19Officer Holt!
17:23What, Brennan?
17:24I'm just wondering if you had a chance to look at a job for me.
17:27You're on the list.
17:29Oh, great.
17:30So when do I start?
17:31As soon as the spot becomes available.
17:34You're on the waiting list.
17:36There's about 40 lads ahead of you.
17:3840?
17:39You should get a spot in three or four months.
17:42Oh, you're joking.
17:44Can we talk about this?
17:46You just did.
17:54You sure you don't fancy that game of cards?
17:56Three or four more months of this?
17:59What am I going to do?
18:01The time, buddy.
18:02You can't fight it.
18:04You just got to do it.
18:11Can I join you?
18:13Oh, please do.
18:18We were just arguing.
18:20More a frank exchange of views.
18:22I didn't mean to interrupt.
18:24We're just joking.
18:26What were you arguing about?
18:28Oh, just Tommy's closed-mindedness.
18:31Eh, I object to that.
18:33So you will come to the exhibition with me?
18:36Modern art is just not my scene.
18:38How do you know if you won't try it?
18:40It's not this thing I'm going to tell you about.
18:42The fella taped a banana to a wall
18:45and sold it for six million quid.
18:47That's all I need to know.
18:48The artist was making a point
18:49about what people will pay for art.
18:51That's too clever for me.
18:53I agree.
18:54I don't enjoy the conceptual stuff either.
18:56It's the paintings and sculptures that I like.
18:59They're just so beautiful to look at
19:02and they give me inspiration for my work.
19:05Painting and sculptures don't sound too bad.
19:07So you'll come?
19:09In the spirit of compromise,
19:12I'll go to the gallery with you
19:13if you come to a Kilkenny match with me.
19:18Kilkenny seems a long way to go
19:19to stand in the cold
19:20and watch men chase a ball around a field all day.
19:23Well, I'll throw in a hot dog from the burger man.
19:29Can't be all one-way traffic.
19:31I give a little, you give a little.
19:33Right, you have a deal.
19:36Oh, you know what?
19:37It's got a bit chilly.
19:39We should go inside.
19:40Yeah, we'll see you in a bit.
19:45Now.
19:47What's this?
19:49Something to show you how I feel.
19:52My, uh, words seem to get in the way.
19:56What does this mean?
19:58It means I want what you want.
20:01Whatever makes you happy.
20:02Even if it gives me a headache
20:04or I don't understand the appeal.
20:07Does that mean that you'll forget
20:09all the talk about moving in?
20:11Listen to me now.
20:16The only thing I want to talk about
20:20is our lives together.
20:29Where is he?
20:30Don't.
20:31Fergal!
20:32Get down here.
20:34You're going to get the two of you in trouble.
20:36I'm not taking out a hit on her.
20:38What?
20:39You were right.
20:41Melanie did get you suspended.
20:43So she admitted it then?
20:44No, she didn't.
20:46She didn't have to.
20:47Right, I could tell from her.
20:48That's not proof.
20:50What did she say?
20:52She said that she's better than you and me.
20:54Who cares?
20:55Only a sap would say something like that anyway.
20:58Getting on like we're the local losers.
20:59Forget about it.
21:01No chance.
21:02She needs a dose of reality.
21:03I need to bring her back down to earth.
21:06See these next two weeks
21:07when you've got nothing to do?
21:08I've got a project for you.
21:10What?
21:11Let's have some fun
21:12with little Miss Melanie.
21:14Bring her down a peg or two.
21:16Yeah.
21:17I want nothing to do with it.
21:21Yes!
21:24Venice.
21:25It's a bit extravagant for a weekend away.
21:28It sure hasn't been worth it.
21:31I was thinking
21:32maybe Paris are wrong.
21:34You're celebrating us.
21:36We should go big.
21:37Better still.
21:38What about Vegas?
21:40We could have our
21:41wedding vows renewed by home.
21:44I know you're joking then.
21:47You two seem very aligned.
21:50Oh yeah.
21:51Never better.
21:52We're heading home for a nightcap
21:53if you fancy one.
21:56Why not?
21:57Now, would that be in your place, Tommy?
21:59Or would it be in your place?
22:01Or would it be in your place, Dolores?
22:03Or would it be in mine?
22:06Right.
22:07Go on, Sue.
22:09I'll talk to you tomorrow.
22:11Who's that?
22:13See you.
22:14How is he?
22:15Feeling seasick.
22:28Pint, please.
22:30Unless you meant to bar me the other night.
22:32Go on, take a seat.
22:33I'll drop it down to you.
22:34Great service in this place.
22:36He always said that.
22:41I hope he finds out
22:42about Steele being gone soon.
22:44I just can't relax
22:45with him snooping around.
22:48Always seemed a little odd to me.
22:49Him being so worried
22:51about a warrant on a lad
22:52for a few cases of wine.
22:54I don't get you.
22:57Maybe it wasn't Steele
22:58he was that interested in.
23:05I think our new friend
23:06might be around for a while, yes.
