00:12Give me two minutes, René, and I'll be right with you.
00:15I need to get that leak sorted ASAP.
00:17Yeah, no rush.
00:19Hi.
00:20Hey.
00:22There's something I wanted to talk to you about, if you have a minute.
00:26In private, René, I'm sorry.
00:28Oh, well, I don't really have time.
00:30The utility sink has sprung a leak, and I've been trying to get a plumber.
00:34Why didn't you ask me, sir?
00:36I can take a look at it for you.
00:37I didn't want to bother you.
00:39I have the toolkit that I think is in the car, so give me a sec.
00:43It's very handy.
00:44Oh, yeah, he has his moments.
00:46That leak has been driving me mad.
00:48Just a minute.
00:49Oh, yeah, sure.
00:51Hiya.
00:52Hi.
00:53You getting your nails done for anything special?
00:55Oh, general maintenance.
00:57Tommy persuaded me into tidying up my garden and erect my last shellac.
01:01He should have just let him do it.
01:03He's determined to get mud under my nails.
01:05It says it's good for me.
01:07Is Pete going to get a free manicure if he gets a chip while he's fixing your leak?
01:12If he gets a chip?
01:14We all know about it.
01:15They're only half as tough as they think they are, right?
01:21Now, I see what the trouble is.
01:24Bob was never very good at DIY, but I do miss not having him around.
01:30If you're lucky, you can call on Pete, even though you don't live together.
01:34What's that?
01:35Your living arrangements.
01:37Same as Emma and Tommy.
01:40I suppose it's whatever works.
01:41It suits me and Tommy.
01:44We get to enjoy each other's company and then have me time whenever we want.
01:48Maybe it's the modern way.
01:50Living together doesn't suit everybody.
01:51Right, Pete?
01:53Oh, yeah.
01:54Absolutely.
01:55What do you want to talk about?
01:58Look, there's nothing important.
02:01This shouldn't be hard to sort.
02:04Won't take long.
02:06Okay.
02:16Well, I've brought you some breakfast.
02:20I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to keep making excuses for keeping the staff out.
02:24Nobody tried to come in, but it's freaking me out being locked in from the outside.
02:27Well, tough.
02:28I'm not taking any risks.
02:29If we've been one of the staff or the guards, you might as well be standing there with your hands
02:33in front of your eyes.
02:34And JJ, you're supposed to be gone by now.
02:36What's the story of the transport?
02:38Son of control.
02:39I just need to make sure we're not being watched.
02:41Well, it's a bit late for that, isn't it?
02:43I mean, there's a warrant out for his arrest.
02:45You know, the guards are sniffing around for him.
02:48With good reason.
02:49Relax.
02:50The van and driver are ready to take him to Belfast.
02:54Then he's out of your hair.
02:56Is the plan still Scotland boy ferry?
02:58Once you're in the UK, you get a flight to Spain.
03:02That is what you want, isn't it?
03:05Prison's not an option for me.
03:06Oh, it still is.
03:08It's not a bad one either.
03:09I thought you were going to help me.
03:10What do you think we're doing?
03:13Eat your breakfast.
03:15While I check on arrangements.
03:19You make it all sound so very simple.
03:21It is.
03:22As long as he doesn't make a hems of things.
03:25Stay with him.
03:26Keep that door locked.
03:29I'll make sure this place isn't being watched.
03:47Anyway, Venus is going well.
03:49It's quite busy, actually.
03:52Maybe I was the only thing that was holding the place back, huh?
03:58Is something wrong?
04:01And then...
04:03I'm not making many friends in here.
04:05Twenty minutes left, everyone.
04:07What are you, Pop?
04:09Orlip.
04:10Best dressed lady in here.
04:11Oh, Danny, isn't it?
04:13This isn't a social club.
04:15Sorry, Mr Jones.
04:20Well, it is to have one sound enough sound, mate.
04:25The little guy's so quiet, he's no hassle.
04:29But you're OK, I mean, like you're...
04:31You're safe, boy.
04:35Yeah.
04:36I think so.
04:38I'm more likely to die of food pies and a boredom in here than anything else.
04:55Looking for a place to rent?
04:58So I was right about Gwen and Georgie wanting rid of you.
05:01No.
05:02I want to move out.
05:03I'm sure they'd be devastated.
05:12What do you mean it's getting too hot?
05:14You pick them up and be on your way.
05:18You won't get caught.
05:20I'll double your fee.
05:21How's that?
05:23Then find somebody else to do it.
05:25And fast.
05:29Problems?
05:31That was a private conversation.
05:33Then you shouldn't be having it in front of him.
05:37I have nothing to hide.
05:45Any sign of my son?
05:46You're asking us.
05:47Well, I don't know where he is.
05:49And if you knew, would you tell us?
05:50Of course.
05:52Anything to help?
05:53Can we be honest with each other?
05:54I thought that's what we were doing.
05:56I find it hard to believe.
05:58And the longer this goes on, the worse it is for Steele and anyone else who might be helping him.
06:03I wish I could help you.
06:06Maybe Carol can.
06:08Especially seeing as if she's involved.
06:10It could have serious implications in terms of her renewing her license to run that bar.
06:15And the cab company.
06:17Carol has nothing to do with him being on the run.
06:20I hope so.
06:21For her sake.
06:27Time's up, everyone.
06:30Oh, dear.
06:32When are you there?
06:33You'll be in again this weekend.
06:35Oh, no.
06:35Sorry.
06:36I can't.
06:36I can't.
06:36I can't.
06:36I can't.
06:37I can't.
06:37Maybe Huey or someone could come in.
06:40Listen, do you think...
06:41Do you think you should tell the kids?
06:43No.
06:44I don't want them knowing that I'm here.
06:46OK.
06:47Well, look.
06:47Hang on in there, OK?
06:48I'll be back in a couple of weeks.
06:50Thanks.
06:51See you.
06:51OK.
06:51No, close.
06:52See you, Danny.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Yeah.
06:54See you after.
06:56Hey.
06:57She's a keeper.
06:59My next wife, remember?
07:00Yeah, still.
07:01You seem to be getting on very well.
07:03Yeah.
07:03Better than ever.
07:04All it took was for me to get locked up in here.
07:07He's right, lads.
07:08Come on.
07:08Come on.
07:09Let's go.
07:14Hey, can I get a coffee, please?
07:16I hear Dolores is putting you to work.
07:18Yeah, well.
07:19Trying to make myself useful, you know?
07:21Oh, it was a good plan.
07:23I had to go and grab Emma's scarf.
07:25She left it there when she was getting her nails done earlier.
07:28And seeing as she blames me for having them chipped in the first place, I thought I'd
07:32jump in and make the most of the time to make up for it.
07:36Well, that's probably wise.
07:38Although, you should warn Emma.
07:40Be careful what she says to Renee.
07:43We all know what a terrible gossip she is.
07:45Ah.
07:46Emma likes to get the lowdown herself now.
07:48Well, I'm just giving you the heads up, seeing as you were the topic of conversation.
07:53In a good way, I hope.
07:54Yeah, pretty much, uh, she was talking about your, uh, living arrangements.
07:59How it's great to have your own space.
08:02I suppose it is.
08:03Good for you.
08:04But now she's got Dolores agreeing that it's the best of both worlds when he can shut the
08:09door on your other half whenever you get tired of them.
08:12So you don't agree?
08:14Uh, no.
08:15Not when I'm living in a small box room and sharing a house with my son, my granddaughter,
08:21and a lodger who's been doing my head in since the day she arrived.
08:24Doesn't sound ideal.
08:26No.
08:27Then I was ready to spend the week with Dolores, but, uh, her signs has flared up and she cancelled
08:33on me.
08:34And if that week had worked out, well, I was going to talk to her about me moving back
08:38in.
08:38But then, Rene and Emma, they chime in with their views on separate dwellings.
08:43Ouch.
08:44Ouch, exactly.
08:45So I was thinking, um, maybe you could, uh, ask Emma to drop a few hints on the benefits
08:54of living together.
08:56and go against what actually works for us.
08:59Or worse, get them and thinking we should do the same.
09:02No, thanks, Pete.
09:03No.
09:04No.
09:04You're on your own on this one, I'm afraid.
09:08Thanks, Tom.
09:14Can you stop pacing like that?
09:15It's irritating.
09:17I know.
09:19I'm an idiot for bringing this on myself.
09:22You're tick, all right, yeah.
09:23But it's not just you that you've landed on.
09:25What, Lorcan?
09:26Your dad?
09:27Me?
09:28And if I lose my licence, my staff?
09:30You think I don't realise what I've done?
09:32Look, I'm not sure that you do.
09:35Look, I'm so sorry for what happened.
09:39But I never would have let Lorcan go to prison.
09:41Yeah, because he did nothing wrong.
09:43I mean it.
09:45It's not a good place.
09:46And that's kind of the point, isn't it?
09:49He hasn't told you what happened to me.
09:51In prison?
09:53I was picked on.
09:56Non-stop.
09:58Not because he didn't try to stop it.
10:01But for being a Nash.
10:03I was treated like dirt.
10:05Why?
10:06Me dad has more enemies than you think.
10:09Our hair's fine.
10:11He can keep his distance.
10:14But for me in prison, there were people who loved picking on JJ's kid.
10:22I'd fear for me life going back inside.
10:24I didn't know that.
10:28I thought it was just you.
10:30Me being soft.
10:34It's easier for me dad to believe that.
10:36Was it really that bad?
10:37Worse.
10:39You think I don't realise what going on the run means for me and Taylor?
10:46I may never see me kid again.
10:49But if I go back inside,
10:51I probably won't be walking out anyway.
10:56It's your dad.
10:58He's outside.
11:00Is it not?
11:01I don't know yet.
11:03You wait here.
11:19Can I get a long charger, Ian?
11:21Yeah, but I'm busy, so will you ask my staff?
11:24Hang on, sorry.
11:25Hayley keeps sending me videos of Scope playing on the beach.
11:28If anyone needed time building sandcastles,
11:30it's her and Sharon.
11:32Listen, that's lovely, but I am busy,
11:34so will you place your order on the staff, yeah?
11:37Happy birthday, bro.
11:39Your present hasn't arrived yet.
11:42Cheers.
11:44May somebody remember it.
11:46Ah.
11:47Is that what Scott you saw down?
11:50Parsley.
11:51It's mainly Melanie.
11:53She thinks she's so smart
11:54making chippy little comments about me all the time.
11:57It's juvenile.
11:57Then Roy is above it.
11:59I'm trying to.
12:01I think she might be right about
12:03Gwen and Georgie wanting me out.
12:06Nah.
12:07Nah, that's not on your head.
12:08Is it?
12:09She sent me a text asking for a house meeting.
12:12So?
12:14They've all been acting real shifty lately.
12:17All of them have been real off with me.
12:19And now I know why.
12:20Fair enough, that text could mean anything.
12:22Or it could mean that they want to give me the boot.
12:25Well, one thing's for sure.
12:26I won't be going quietly.
12:28Just don't go in, guns blazing.
12:30Go over there.
12:31See what they want.
12:38What do you mean there's a problem?
12:40Careful.
12:45Carol.
12:45Can I help you?
12:46I hope so.
12:48Look, I've already told you.
12:49I haven't got a clue where Steele is.
12:51He's probably left the country.
12:53Have you information to that effect?
12:54No, she doesn't.
12:56She's just speculating.
12:58You know by helping him, you're making things worse for Steele.
13:01And for you.
13:03You're saying that as a friend, I suppose.
13:06Aiden and a bet on a fugitive.
13:07That won't go down well when your license comes up for review.
13:10Is that a threat, Gerdonald?
13:12We've had our differences in the past.
13:14But I've always done my best to be fair.
13:17I'm giving you one last chance.
13:19Hand him over now.
13:20Or face the consequences.
13:38You can't come in here making threats in front of my customers.
13:41I am appealing to you to do the right thing.
13:43For Steele, too.
13:45He's better off doing the time.
13:47You're putting pressure on two innocent people.
13:51What you said to me earlier, and to Carol now, about interfering with our license.
13:55That sounds like a threat to me.
13:58Intimidation.
13:59It's friendly advice.
14:01Yeah?
14:02Well, here's some in return.
14:04Stop harassing me.
14:06You've had a number of interactions with the Gardaí lately.
14:10That doesn't make it harassment.
14:12But it raises questions in certain quarters.
14:15Here's a question.
14:16Instead of picking on Carol, why aren't you out looking for my son?
14:20Oh, we're busy making inquiries.
14:22And our sources point to him being in the area.
14:25Right, well, you need better sources.
14:26Or is it possible that he's nearby and don't even know it?
14:29Why don't I take a look around?
14:31No, thanks.
14:32I think I should.
14:33For everyone's peace of mind.
14:34Unless you have a warrant, you don't.
14:36Why would I need a warrant?
14:37If you're nothing to hide.
14:38I'm getting tired of your time wasting, all right?
14:40So go on out in me bar.
14:41I can enter any premises if I've concerns about adherence to the terms of a license.
14:45If you want to spout the law at me, go on ahead.
14:48But there's nothing out of order here and you know it.
14:51So keep pestering me and I will.
14:52I'll make a complaint.
14:53On what grounds?
14:54Harassment.
14:55So go on, clear off.
14:57Unless you want to explain yourself to your boss.
15:00And we have to play this the hard way.
15:03We will.
15:10I take it they're still looking for your young lad?
15:13Yeah.
15:14As if we'd be mad enough to have him here.
15:19Well played with, Knowles.
15:20Yeah.
15:20You kept your cool.
15:21Well then why am I shaking?
15:24He needs to be gone.
15:26All right?
15:27Now.
15:33Oh, Tommy.
15:35I hope I didn't get you into trouble with Emma.
15:38Oh, no, no.
15:39Not at all.
15:40But you got me thinking about not taking my setup with her for granted.
15:44Glad I could help someone's situation.
15:47I hope you don't think I was being harsh earlier.
15:49No, no, no.
15:50I get it.
15:51Hi.
15:52Hey.
15:53Lovely flowers, Tommy.
15:55Actually, I was just holding them for Pete.
15:58I wonder who they're for.
15:59Good luck.
16:00See ya.
16:02Thanks, Tommy.
16:04Flowers?
16:05Yes.
16:07Oh.
16:09Well, after all the help you gave me in the salon, I'm the one who should be buying you gifts.
16:14Well, it was an impulse buy and I saw them and I thought of you.
16:18Oh, that's very thoughtful.
16:20And I'm really grateful for all your help in the salon.
16:23I don't know what I'd do without you.
16:25Well, that's nice to hear.
16:27Glad we can do this again.
16:29What?
16:29Be nice to each other?
16:31I just want you to know how much I appreciate another chance.
16:34And, um, there was something I wanted to talk to you about earlier on.
16:40It's about us.
16:42Oh?
16:43Well, I was wondering if it's maybe time for us to, uh, make things a little more normal.
16:49But they are.
16:50Very much so.
16:52I mean, on the domestic front.
16:54Be nice if we could, uh, live together again as a married couple.
17:00Now, you don't need to say anything.
17:03I'm just throwing it out there for discussion.
17:06But, um, think about it, yeah?
17:11Great.
17:13Well, Carnot, and it's you that got us here.
17:16Nothing to do with the way it was raised, no?
17:18Seriously?
17:19You want to have that conversation now?
17:21I'm just saying.
17:22Don't start throwing rocks in a glass house.
17:25That's it.
17:26I'm stuck here, then.
17:27You can't stay here.
17:28It's too risky for Carl.
17:30Then where will I go?
17:32I'm trying to figure that out.
17:35Will you two keep your voices down?
17:38JJ's supposed to be in here on his own.
17:40I don't want my staff getting dragged into this.
17:43And he's selling holes.
17:45He's cleared off.
17:46And they don't seem to be watching the place outside, either.
17:49Well, it's something at least.
17:50Oh, look, don't worry.
17:51He's going to be back.
17:52Might come across as thick, but there's no flies on him.
17:54He's not going to let this go.
17:57It's over.
17:58I'm going to prison.
17:59No.
18:00No, as soon as it gets dark, we're getting you out of here.
18:03Where will he go?
18:03I have an idea.
18:05It's a bit mad, but...
18:07It's all I've got.
18:36Thanks for fitting me in this morning.
18:37So what changed?
18:40Maybe he thinks it's practical.
18:42Hopefully he's thinking more romantically than that.
18:44I was enjoying things the way they were.
18:46Then stick to your guns.
18:48But sell it to him in a way that he doesn't feel rejected.
18:52Men can be delicate creatures.
18:54Goodbye.
18:55See you.
19:08Fancy a game of cards?
19:10No.
19:10Me and Tim were just playing with some of the lads down the back room.
19:13Oh, right.
19:13Well, you're warmed up, so.
19:15Come on.
19:16You can fleece me again.
19:17No, not this time, no.
19:19I've had to call me man.
19:20Tim was still at it.
19:22You're lucky, like.
19:23You've been to sell to yourself for a bit longer.
19:26I'll see you later, yeah?
19:28Yeah.
19:38Where is Georgie?
19:39He'll be down in a minute.
19:41Look, Fergal.
19:42I'm really not sure how to put this.
19:44Can we just get this over with?
19:45I don't care if you don't like me.
19:47I'm sick of living here anyway.
19:48You two do my nutting.
19:50Can I just say something?
19:51Yeah, well, you're gonna anyway, because I never shut up yapping.
19:53What's going on?
19:55Happy birthday!
19:57Sam Brite!
20:01Think we got him, guys?
20:03That must have worked too well.
20:04You nearly went nuclear there.
20:06I was about to lose the head there.
20:07Really thought we were gonna kick you out?
20:09You've been acting so off, haven't we?
20:11It was all part of the plan.
20:13Think we're gonna kick our mate out?
20:14We're celebrating this birthday.
20:16So, uh, you do really like living with me, then?
20:19I love it.
20:21Thanks.
20:22This could be the best birthday ever.
20:24And it's only just officially started.
20:26Hooray!
20:28Come on, Fergal.
20:30Let's get some cake.
20:35So, have you, uh, had a chance to think about my suggestion?
20:41It's been on my mind, all right.
20:44You can take all the time you like.
20:46We don't need to make a decision now.
20:49Sounds like you have decided.
20:51Well, I know what I want, if that's what you mean.
20:54We have to be on the same page about it.
20:57Obviously.
20:58So, there's no rush.
21:00In other words, we wait until you get the outcome you want.
21:06I don't seem to be making myself clear.
21:08Oh, but you are.
21:10You want to move back in, and I'm happy with the way things are.
21:14Yeah.
21:16I thought we were in a good place.
21:19We are, but we could always be in a better one.
21:21For you?
21:23For both of us.
21:26Look, what is it that's making you think it's a bad idea?
21:29I don't want anything to get in the way of what we have.
21:33At the moment, my living arrangements are...
21:37Oh, so it's purely convenience.
21:40Because you don't like living with Doug and Claire.
21:42No.
21:44I want us to get back to what we had.
21:46We were driving each other up the walls?
21:48There's many reasons why we broke up.
21:50Well, the main one being, we couldn't be honest with each other.
21:55Is that a dig at me?
21:56No.
21:57It's about communication.
22:00Look what happened when I couldn't tell you I was addicted to painkillers, huh?
22:03Yeah, and I did the best I could for you.
22:05Which I'm grateful for.
22:08And you getting yourself back on track has allowed us to grow close again.
22:12I'm really happy about that.
22:15But I don't think we should jump ahead just because you want out of the box room.
22:21You think I'm being selfish, don't you?
22:25There's a certain muscle memory.
22:28Maybe it gets triggered in me.
22:29Right back at you.
22:33Well, I think we've established why neither of us is ready to live together again.
22:38We're allowed to have the odd little row, you know.
22:41That's healthy.
22:42Accusing me of being selfish?
22:44Well, you started it.
22:47You might think this is normal, but it's not the way I want to communicate with someone I live with.
22:53Dolores.
22:54Dolores, come on.
23:00I was about to go to bed.
23:02Is there anyone else here?
23:04No.
23:06You know Sharon is away with Hayley.
23:08What's this about?
23:10That favour that you owe JJ.
23:12He's calling it in.
23:19No way.
23:19You're not dragging me into this.
23:21It won't be for long.
23:22I don't care.
23:22It's not happening.
23:23Look, I'm sorry for the hassle.
23:24You think that's all it is?
23:26One or two nights tops.
23:28Then the debt is cleared.
23:30And if I refuse?
23:31You won't, so let's not waste our time going back and forth.
23:33He stays and the slate is clean.
23:36Get caught and we're all screwed.
23:38Make it work.
23:43Danny, visitor.
23:46Is mine here yet?
23:47No, you had your visit this week.
23:48Yeah, but I was due another one.
23:50You get one a week for now.
23:51Can you double check, please?
23:54Nope.
23:55I've been married to Dolores before.
23:57It's different.
23:58People think that she's keeping me at arm's length.
24:00I doubt people think about you much at all.
24:03A lad just came into the gym, asked if I was Gareth Boyle and handed me this.
24:09You're being sued.
24:10Virgil, do you know anything about this?
