00:00MUSIC
00:12Would you hurry up, love?
00:13Hi.
00:15Have you done the school run already?
00:17Relax, I sent Olivia in early for a breakfast club.
00:20How long does it take to pick out a pastry?
00:23Oh, what kid is in a rush to get to school?
00:25OK, that's true.
00:26Come here, I meant to ask, how's Paul getting on?
00:28I'm still in shock that he's actually in prison.
00:31Well, that'll soon wear off, and then the boredom will set in.
00:34Yeah, well, on the plus side, he says that his cellmate is really nice, so...
00:38Oh, that's good.
00:39Yeah.
00:40You know, meeting Nicky when I was inside, that's the only thing that kept me sane.
00:44Hiya.
00:45Oh, finally.
00:46You look smart.
00:47Is that hair gel?
00:48No.
00:49See you later.
00:50See ya.
00:51Right, are you ready now?
00:52Yeah.
00:52Right.
00:53Will you talk about Paul?
00:55Briefly.
00:56Well, when's the next time you're going in?
00:58Why do you need to know that?
01:00I want to come with you.
01:01We've already talked about it, love, OK?
01:03It's too early, OK?
01:05Why not?
01:07Because Paul's just got in, and he needs time to settle.
01:10He keeps saying that.
01:11Junior, it is a prison, love.
01:14There are rules and regulations.
01:16I mean, we can't just rock in.
01:18Forget it.
01:19Are Junior what you're waiting?
01:31Being suspended from work must be a killer.
01:34All that time to fill.
01:37Oh, it's flying by.
01:38It's like a little holiday.
01:40You know, for such a tough guy, I was surprised that you asked Gwen to plead your case.
01:44I didn't.
01:46But at least I have friends who can stick up for me.
01:50Seriously.
01:51That's your best shot.
01:53Hi.
01:54Hi.
01:55We were just saying how lucky Ferba was that the gym client dropped her claim.
02:01You're lucky Mel needed such a good job.
02:03You got away lightly with the suspension.
02:06Thanks.
02:07Use the time wisely.
02:09Some self-improvement.
02:11Maybe you could brush up on the health and safety protocols.
02:13Good idea.
02:15A word?
02:16Yeah.
02:17You're too easy.
02:21That blog post I wrote on consumer rights isn't up on the website yet.
02:25I ran out of time this morning.
02:27I'm in court tomorrow on the Jenkins case.
02:29It's high profile.
02:30People will be looking us up.
02:32I'll get on it over lunch in the office.
02:34Well, I want to go over the Jenkins file one last time.
02:36I'll be spreading everything out.
02:37Can you find somewhere else?
02:39Er...
02:40Yeah.
02:40Fine.
02:41I can go to the Hungry Pig.
02:42Show me when it's done.
02:49Have you seen Garret and Knowles knocking around?
02:52No.
02:53No other cops either.
02:54You?
02:55Not since we got Steele well.
02:57Yeah.
02:57They must have given up.
02:58Or else they're trying to throw me off guard.
03:00Steele has us all on edge.
03:01We should go for a bit of lunch.
03:03You know?
03:03Dial down to Paranile.
03:05Maybe you're right.
03:13Steele's smelly sock.
03:14I found it under the sofa.
03:17Stop it.
03:18He's in Spain.
03:20I don't want evidence on my bin.
03:22I'm having to fumigate the place before Sharon's home.
03:24Oh, yeah.
03:25You better find the other one in case she thinks that you got lucky when she was away.
03:28You wouldn't find it so funny if you were holed up at Steele for days.
03:31Relax.
03:32We didn't think you'd find it so stressful.
03:34I didn't.
03:35Although that can happen, you know.
03:37We've been out of the game.
03:39Come near me again if you want to find out.
03:41Only having a laugh, that's all.
03:42The debt you're owed is paid.
03:45Our business is done.
03:47Exactly.
03:48So both of you, stay away from now on.
03:56Sorry to land in like this.
03:59No, it's fine.
04:00I thought I could hold on till the weekend, but it just got so bad.
04:05Yeah.
04:06Oh, Vic, look at all this stuff.
04:09Yeah, I know.
04:10I was trying to sort it out before you arrived.
04:13Oh, Babs.
04:15Hiya.
04:16Welcome back from England.
04:18What are you doing back from Temple Mall?
04:20Toothache.
04:21It started last night.
04:23Oh, poor you.
04:24I managed to get an emergency appointment at the dentist, but when Vic wasn't picking
04:28up his phone, I had to jump in a taxi from the train.
04:31I told you I was in the attic.
04:33I couldn't hear my phone.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Er, he's been helping me with all my stuff.
04:38Mmm.
04:39He said.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Er, I was going to book storage, but he insisted.
04:45It cost you a fortune.
04:46And I got the attic cleared out last year, so may as well use it, eh?
04:49Well, that'd be great, thanks.
04:52Painkillers.
04:55Here you go.
04:56Now I'm going to have to leave the rest of it till tomorrow though, because I'm working
04:59this afternoon, if I even make it.
05:02Well, do you want me to get my own taxi to the dentist?
05:05What?
05:06Well, I seem to be putting you out.
05:08Why are you taking my head off?
05:09I wasn't expecting you, that's all.
05:11I have dropped everything, so I can take you.
05:13Can we go then?
05:15Yeah.
05:18What did I say?
05:25If Junior wants to visit Paul, why not let him?
05:28Because Paul is too embarrassed to have Junior visit him in prison.
05:33All about him then.
05:34I'm not wild about it either.
05:36Being frisked and screened by prison staff, Junior's only 11.
05:40I know, but he still needs a male role model.
05:42Paul.
05:43A role model?
05:45In how to rob wine, maybe.
05:47Okay, stop.
05:47Look.
05:48Paul is no angel, okay?
05:50When we separated, he always made time to see Junior.
05:55So what, Junior's in withdrawal?
05:57I don't know, Sean, okay, but he's changed.
06:00He's moody all the time and he just hangs out in his room.
06:03And he's usually so chatty and good-humoured.
06:06Yeah, I know.
06:06But look, if I get the odd grunt these days...
06:09Honestly?
06:12Doesn't sound alarming to me.
06:13Yeah, Sean's right.
06:16Junior might be missing Paul, but I don't think you have too much else to be worried about.
06:20Yeah, okay, you're right.
06:22Yeah, because if something was wrong, I mean, he would tell me.
06:25Exactly.
06:36I don't believe it.
06:38What?
06:39Gara's making me do a refresher health and safety course.
06:43You'll find you it.
06:45Well, that's not the point.
06:46Melanie must have texted him to suggest it.
06:48Cow.
06:49You know, if one of my staff slipped up like you did, I'd make them do a refresher course too.
06:55I heard what happened.
06:57That woman was just looking to pull a fast one.
06:59You could have cost Gara's gym.
07:02Melanie sells all the money to me.
07:06Typical.
07:07Always sticking up for her.
07:10Sash, how'd you get more of this?
07:11No, cheers.
07:12The element's gone in ours.
07:14Half that salon's gas for coffee.
07:16Screw the coffee.
07:17We need to fix Melanie.
07:19Relax.
07:20It was your suggestion.
07:21So what are we waiting for?
07:23We need to figure out the best way to make her suffer.
07:27I'll have an idea.
07:28Let's have it.
07:29Well, you can count me out.
07:31Chicken.
07:31I've got bookings coming out in years.
07:33I don't have time to be getting mixed up in little pranks.
07:35You're going to miss out on all the fun.
07:36I'll live.
07:37But you be careful.
07:39Melanie's already gotten you suspended.
07:41I'm not afraid of her.
07:42I'm just saying.
07:43Don't go too late.
07:46Hello.
07:47Hi.
07:48You're back.
07:49Yeah.
07:51Told you I would be.
07:54Yeah.
07:54Yeah.
07:55Got in on the ferry yesterday with all my stuff.
07:58Loads of the clients were asking after you.
08:01Saying nobody does cuticles so clean.
08:03Oh, great.
08:04Good to know I was missed.
08:07That coffee we said we'd have?
08:10You still on?
08:11Yeah.
08:13If you want to.
08:14Great.
08:16I'll drop by later.
08:20Let's go.
08:23What?
08:27Nothing.
08:30We were talking about your plan for Melanie.
08:32Spill.
08:34Oh, you're going to love this.
08:53Hello, Ger.
08:55Detective Buckley.
08:56Come in.
09:00I thought you'd been put out to pasture.
09:03I could say the same about you.
09:05It's been a while.
09:07To what do I owe the pleasure?
09:10Doing a spring clean.
09:14Why?
09:15Do you want to give a hand?
09:16We're doing door-to-door inquiries in the neighbourhood regarding Steele Nash.
09:20Oh.
09:21J.J. Nash's son.
09:24J.J.'s an acquaintance, but I can't say I know Steele.
09:28Apart from when he used to be a barman in the station.
09:31There's a bench warrant, though, for his arrest.
09:33Sounds serious.
09:35He stole a large quantity of wine.
09:38Must have been top vintage.
09:39If they have a detective of your standing doing door-to-door.
09:43I'd like to get out from behind the desk every now and again.
09:46Turn over a few stones.
09:48See what's lurking underneath.
09:50I wish I could help.
09:51But I haven't seen Steele around.
09:53We think J.J. helps Steele get out of the country.
09:56In that case, shouldn't you be talking to J.J.?
09:58Oh, don't worry. We will.
10:01Anyone that's aided and embedded Steele will be under the microscope.
10:04I wouldn't be wasting too much gar the time and a scut like him.
10:10But I suppose it's a handy enough number while you wait for the pension to kick in.
10:14Where's Sharon been the last week or two?
10:16Who said she was anywhere?
10:18As I said, I've been out and about, keeping an eye.
10:22Go and snoop on someone else.
10:23It's none of your business.
10:26I'll see myself out.
10:34Thanks.
10:41Where's Melanie?
10:43She told Clare lunchtime.
10:45You've just distracted from her laptop.
10:47I'll do the rest.
10:49You're evil. You know that?
10:51You'll love it.
10:52Of course I do.
10:55So...
10:56Lily.
10:58What about her?
11:00She's back for good.
11:02Back for now?
11:03No, that's good.
11:04For me and Georgie too.
11:06No more two-day parties where I have to go and kip a gars.
11:10Have you ever mentioned to Lily that I went off the rails?
11:13I'll come for you in your sleep.
11:18Right, go for the Oscar.
11:20I said I'll have it next Friday.
11:22Well, what good is that? It's due tomorrow.
11:24I'm not in work in case you haven't noticed.
11:26I can't just pull it out of thin air.
11:27So I'm supposed to sub your rent?
11:29It's just a loan until I'm back in the gym.
11:32Do you know what? Forget about it.
11:34Don't say there's trouble in paradise.
11:35Oh, jog on.
11:36Just a tea when you're ready, please.
11:38You know, if he doesn't pay his rent, you can always kick him out.
11:42Oops.
11:43What the hell?
11:44Oh, I'm so sorry.
11:45Oh my God, I'm soaked.
11:47Can we get some napkins, please?
11:48No, forget it. I'm going to have to clean up in the toilet.
11:50Yes.
11:52Thank you, Mel.
11:54Right, I'll keep sketch.
11:55Do your worst.
11:58Oh, thanks. Sorry.
12:21Are you done?
12:22Just a minute.
12:24We'll make it quick.
12:26Melanie!
12:28Oh, look at you.
12:29Do I?
12:30I am so, so sorry.
12:33Don't touch me.
12:34No, honestly.
12:34I'm such a...
12:35Do you hear?
12:37Don't touch me.
12:38Well, I'm just, I'm just trying to help.
12:39Well, you can't, okay?
12:40I'm going to have to go home and change.
12:42Yeah.
12:42Well, you're right.
12:43You should.
12:44Because I'm not going to lie.
12:46It looks like you've had an accident, if you know what I mean.
12:51So...
12:53You left your laptop unattended.
12:56I was just...
12:58Actually, I've decided to update the website from home.
13:03Take away.
13:04Clare.
13:07Detective Buckley.
13:08Have they changed you to your desk?
13:10I don't see you in court much these days.
13:13I've been working on something big.
13:15Sounds juicy.
13:17Can't say any more about it, but I've enjoyed taking this one home.
13:20Oh.
13:21Let's have a drink sometime.
13:23He can fill me in on all the gossip.
13:30Have you in your way?
13:32Buckley.
13:33Do you know him?
13:35He'd been nipping at my ankles for years.
13:38He tried and failed to make a money rinse and charge stick.
13:41Oh.
13:42He was left with a bloody nose.
13:43Well, you don't have to worry about, son.
13:46We get Steele away and suddenly he shows up.
13:49Yeah.
13:50It's probably just a coincidence.
13:52I've only spotted a chance to annoy me again.
13:56Never live.
13:57What you're thinking is right.
13:59You should mourn Jer.
14:00Jer's my neighbour for the likes of him.
14:04I just don't need the hassle.
14:05That's all.
14:06Yeah.
14:16I don't know.
14:18Just that one.
14:19Hey, Nicky.
14:21Hiya.
14:22What are you doing?
14:24Setting up for the kids tomorrow.
14:26Sorry, what?
14:27Well, it's Earth Day, so the older classes are coming over to do a big pack cleanup.
14:32Was it just in Kim's school or...?
14:33No, all the local schools.
14:36And this is helping how, Nicky?
14:38He gives them something to pick up.
14:39Otherwise they'll be done in ten minutes and back in class, give me rage and...
14:43Right, that's enough.
14:44You can stop now.
14:45I think you've helped.
14:46Enough.
14:48I didn't know that it was Earth Day tomorrow.
14:50Did Wayne not tell you?
14:52How would he know?
14:53I hadn't spoken to him once.
14:54No, I mean Junior.
14:55I know, but you said Wayne.
14:57Is that not what we're calling Junior now?
15:00Sorry, I am lost here.
15:02Well, he told everyone that his proper name was Wayne and he wasn't answering to Junior anymore.
15:07Has he said that?
15:08I thought you knew.
15:10No.
15:12I used to change my name all the time when I was that age.
15:15Say, I'm sure I was Ariel for a week after I watched The Little Meme.
15:20Yeah, well, it's not surprising.
15:21You know, as Junior said, Wayne is his proper name.
15:25Exactly.
15:25And he probably just doesn't want to be called a baby name in school.
15:28So you think Junior is a baby name?
15:30I don't think she meant it like that.
15:31It's just, you know, Wayne is a bit more mature.
15:34It's probably just a face.
15:36Give it a few days and he'll be back to Junior again.
15:39Yes.
15:43The illness is starting to wear off now.
15:45Oh.
15:48Well?
15:49Oh, you fillin' fell out.
15:50I got it replaced so hopefully it should be good as new.
15:55And that's screaming you hear?
15:56It's from my wallet.
15:59Oh.
16:00Right, I'm gonna grab some water and have a lie down before the train back,
16:04so you can carry on with your day.
16:07Babs.
16:11What?
16:12Your bedside mama needs brushing up.
16:15I have dropped everything to ferry her around.
16:17Yeah, and making sure she knows it too.
16:21I was trying to clear away those boxes before she came home on the weekend.
16:24You think I want my stuff causing trouble between you?
16:27Sorry.
16:31You know, when you're in pain and away from home, that makes it a lot harder.
16:38TLC, that's all you want.
16:40Am I getting relationship advice from my housemate?
16:43Comes free with the rent.
16:47Yeah, let me take that for you.
16:49I will get you settled upstairs.
16:51I thought you were rushing off to work.
16:53My wife's not well. Work can wait.
16:57Okay.
16:59Look, sorry if I was grumpy.
17:03Too fake will do that.
17:05After you.
17:07Thanks.
17:23Hi.
17:24Hiya.
17:26Lily, right?
17:28I'm JJ.
17:30Oh, yeah. I've seen you around.
17:33Victor Holm.
17:35I'll give him a shout.
17:39JJ.
17:40Just call by for a quick chat.
17:42Er, now's not a good time. Babs is home. Dental emergency.
17:48Then I shouldn't be interrupting.
17:50I'll catch you again.
17:53Nice to meet you.
17:54And you.
18:00I did a taxi run for the bookies over the weekend. Probably wants to just settle up.
18:05I wasn't asking.
18:08Right.
18:09Sure.
18:10Yeah, I'll get back to Babs.
18:17It was too easy.
18:18The company's website was set up to remember Melanie's username and password, which she then used for everything else.
18:24Amateur R?
18:25A hotshot wannabe solicitor. Can't even use a password manager.
18:28What did she get into?
18:30All of her accounts.
18:31You should see her history.
18:34Go on.
18:35You have to train your brain when you're asleep.
18:37No way.
18:39Will my cat eat me if I die?
18:41Too funny.
18:42Plus, she creeps on Claire's social media every day.
18:45Really?
18:46Have you seen this?
18:47What?
18:48Melanie's socials.
18:49Show me.
18:52Fergal, you're too bad.
18:54Did you do this?
18:55Shh.
18:56Melanie, I'm a crazy cat lady.
18:58This is your idea of revenge, is it?
19:00See, I told you it was all good, clean fun.
19:02Go on.
19:03Coffee, please.
19:04Yeah, yeah, sure.
19:09What's all musing?
19:11Nothing.
19:13Melanie's just went a little wild on her socials.
19:15That's all.
19:16Yeah, bit of a catastrophe.
19:23I mean, Wayne.
19:24Come on.
19:25In fairness, that's what's on his birth cert.
19:28He's been junior for 11 years.
19:31Not Wayne.
19:31Never Wayne.
19:33In fact, one time he told me that he thought Wayne was a stupid name.
19:36I'm the one who started that name in the family.
19:40Okay, Dolores, look, no offence, but it...
19:42It's not exactly cool, is it?
19:44I mean, it's not like a...
19:46a Reen or a Killian or whatever it is that the lads want to be called these days.
19:50Well, if Junior's chosen it, you'll have to respect his riches.
19:53Yeah, I know that.
19:54But he never told me.
19:55He just told the kids.
19:57Well, maybe he was embarrassed.
19:58Around me.
20:00His mam.
20:01That's what I mean.
20:03There's something going on and I do not know what.
20:05Wayne Gate.
20:07Nicky told you.
20:08She thinks she's got her foot left.
20:10Well, in fairness to her, if she never said anything, I wouldn't know that my son is going through an
20:14identity crisis.
20:14He is just trying stuff out.
20:17Exactly.
20:17He's finding himself.
20:19Find? Oh, great.
20:19So, my son is lost.
20:21Have you spoken to him about any of this?
20:23No, because he's at football practice.
20:25Well, take a deep breath and when he gets back, have a chat and you'll sort this whole thing out.
20:35Hey.
20:36You two not had your phone now?
20:39What's that?
20:40It's just my new screensaver.
20:42Who is it?
20:42It's a long story.
20:44Oh.
20:45I'll get the drinks in.
20:51Enjoying your little stunt?
20:53Doing okay?
20:55You seem a little upset.
20:56You know exactly what I'm talking about.
20:58Yeah, your cat selfie.
20:59It's tragic.
21:00Some might say that you've gone a little feral.
21:02I didn't upload that picture, as you lot well know.
21:06Hope someone didn't mess with your socials.
21:07Hmm.
21:08Not only that.
21:09Whoever uploaded the picture redirected the law office website to it.
21:13What do you mean?
21:14Clients who clicked on Howley & Company got that ridiculous cat filter instead.
21:18Well, I hope you're not accusing one of us.
21:20You need proof for that?
21:21Oh.
21:22I'll find it.
21:23You have no idea the damage you've caused.
21:25We had to hire in an emergency IT team to crisis manage.
21:30I just wanted you to know that whoever did this will pay.
21:36I thought this was supposed to be a prank.
21:38It is.
21:39You mess with Joan's company.
21:41Our landlady.
21:43That was her.
21:45In the cat picture!
21:47You've taken this too far.
21:49If she pins this on us, we all get kicked out.
22:03There was, you know, no luggage or anything in the way.
22:06And I couldn't just check the acoustic.
22:08He's a beautiful boy working.
22:09There's a medical consequence.
22:10I was going in there.
22:12What now?
22:14It's best we do this inside.
22:17I already told you, I haven't seen Steele and Ash.
22:20I'm no dad's dad.
22:23Nice job.
22:25Messy, I'd say, was he?
22:27Not the most pleasant to have under your feet?
22:29I have no idea what you're on about.
22:31Drop the act.
22:32This is Gar the harassment.
22:34We know Steele and Ash entered this house.
22:36You hid him here for several days till he got away to safety.
22:39This is a fairy tale.
22:40We know you've been in contact with JJ.
22:43You have been for months.
22:45Admit it.
22:45We have the evidence.
22:47You helped Steele and Ash escape.
22:49What evidence?
22:50Enough to put you in Mount Joy for aiding and abetting a fender.
22:53So why haven't you arrested me?
22:54Because I'm giving you a chance to save your skin.
22:57Really?
22:58Steele isn't worth my time or effort.
23:01Frankly.
23:03Neither are you.
23:05It's JJ we're after.
23:07JJ?
23:08On the level.
23:09We've been building a case against him for some time.
23:12Oh.
23:12We know he's involved in money laundering and other serious crimes.
23:16He's brought a lot of heat to the area.
23:18So go talk to him.
23:19It has nothing to do with me.
23:21If we nail JJ for Steele, we can start poking holes in the rest of his operation.
23:26And let an ordinary decent criminal like yourself get on with the job.
23:29I sell antiques.
23:30As you well know.
23:33If you say so.
23:35Besides, even if I had information, which I don't.
23:38I'm not a rat.
23:40It's not what I heard.
23:42What's that supposed to mean?
23:44You have a choice.
23:46Either JJ goes to prison over Steele, or you do.
23:54I think it was Virgil Boyle.
23:56You rescued him in the gym from a big claim.
23:58Why would he do something wrong?
24:00Because he's twisted.
24:01Everyone knows that.
24:02This so-called evidence you say you have.
24:04What is it?
24:06Enough to nail it to the wall.
24:08Is that why you wanted to change your name?
24:10Because of girls?
24:11Maybe.
24:12Okay.
24:14Let's talk about girls.
24:16Come clean now or I tell Joan everything.
24:18She'll throw me out of the house.
24:20That's the least of your worries.
24:22She could have you done for fraud.
