Short filmTranscript
00:14The EV just came in, you know, it'll take me a while now to get up to speed, you know.
00:20Shouldn't I know what back was right? From the two courses that I took to Utah were a waste of
00:24time.
00:26Okay, I was wrong. It's always good to learn a new skill.
00:29You know, see?
00:31All right, lads.
00:32Come here, I was pitching Orla an ongoing comic contract with a big focus on servicing and NCT fixes.
00:39There could be more work in it for you, a bit of overtime.
00:42Now, there has to be a unanimous ownership agreement, so I need your support.
00:47Don't assume anything. I'd want to study every detail.
00:50Yeah, I figured you would.
00:51Yeah, and I bet there'll not be any loopholes, because D.I. Ray here will have time to look at
00:55the fine print.
00:57So Nora was saying everyone's very disappointed with losing the new premises for the men's shed.
01:02Yeah, I hope Tommy saw it soon.
01:04Yeah, we'll still have our meetings, but it won't be a brand-new swanky place, but, you know.
01:09Do you mind if I come back to this?
01:11I'll leave you to it.
01:12All right, see you after.
01:15Ray, why are you knocking yourself out, man?
01:18Are you never going to use this new skill again?
01:20Oh, I'll have it here.
01:22Relax.
01:27I know it was a lot to hit you with, no trigger.
01:31I had no idea me to house like that.
01:34I wasn't exaggerating.
01:37After all you've been through, I'm so sorry.
01:41Don't blame yourself, all right?
01:46The only person in the wrong here is our pig of a father.
01:54Look, the search for Ma might be going somewhere.
01:58Father Art, he managed to track down Rose O'Brien.
02:00She's in a home.
02:02We're trying to arrange a visit.
02:04Good luck with it.
02:07Come with me, will you?
02:10Rose has Alzheimer's.
02:11It's going to be tough to remember.
02:13But maybe if she sees the two sisters from the flats,
02:15it might bring something back.
02:17Genuinely hope it does.
02:19This is your thing.
02:23Let me know how you get on, yeah?
02:25Yeah.
02:26See you.
02:32I've sorted a visit today.
02:35Just be aware,
02:37Rose may not be able to offer much.
02:39Her Alzheimer's would be pretty advanced by now.
02:41Well, we'll find out what we can from Rose.
02:45I sure argue that the social welfare will follow up in my mother's records.
02:48Confident.
02:50Well,
02:52I never got much help from any of the authorities.
02:55I doubt you ever asked for much.
02:58They'll track our benefits,
02:59but you'll need to sign a few forms to get the process moving.
03:04Her official records.
03:06I should have thought of that.
03:08Why?
03:10You've no experience of this.
03:12We're both just feeling our way.
03:15No blaming ourselves for imagined mistakes.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Well, I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't look for her.
03:23Should we ask JJ to come with us?
03:25No.
03:26JJ thinks this is a dead end.
03:28Literally.
03:30Rafferty has upped his offer.
03:32Yeah.
03:33You expected it?
03:34Not by this amount.
03:36It's like he's going all in.
03:37Your family are just bluffing.
03:39Trying to get you to outbid each other.
03:41They wouldn't blame me like that.
03:47Let Rafferty have his property.
03:49Trying to get one over on me has clouded his judgement.
03:51He's paid too much.
03:53When he cops on to that,
03:54we'll both know who really won this little skirmish.
03:57Fair enough.
03:58I'll have a look out for other investments.
04:00Do that.
04:04Tommy.
04:07I assume you'll need this.
04:08Oh, thanks.
04:11Losing that building is still getting to you.
04:12Isn't it?
04:13It is, Nora.
04:14Yeah, it is.
04:16Oh, dear.
04:17See you.
04:23I hope this Rose thing leads somewhere.
04:26There's only so many setbacks that Carol can take.
04:29My gut feeling is your instincts are correct.
04:32This probably won't end well.
04:34So why give her hope?
04:36Because I don't know for sure.
04:49Alex really pushes deliveries.
04:51It's taking off.
04:53That's why he's too busy to read a text.
04:55I messaged him a big apology.
04:57For what?
04:58To be ghosted?
04:59Hardly.
05:01Maybe he wants a tag ten feet high in the public space.
05:04Yeah, as long as it's tasteful.
05:06I'll help.
05:08Just give him some time.
05:09We'll get back to you.
05:10If a girlfriend did to Alex what Ruby did to me,
05:13I'd be 100% with him.
05:14There's a friend's code.
05:16That's playground talk.
05:19If he asked you to choose sides,
05:20I know which one you'd take.
05:22Yeah, not against you.
05:24Or him.
05:26Look, this isn't a war.
05:28It's not even a battle.
05:29Just give Alex a stubborn moment.
05:31That's all it is.
05:33I'll leave.
05:33Get back to your masterpiece.
05:36I'm only a novice.
05:37I have a collection of signed anime prints
05:39I bought at conventions.
05:41Different class.
05:41You should see them.
05:43Yeah, I'd love to.
05:44See you.
05:45See you.
05:47I honestly didn't think Tommy would take it this badly.
05:50Well, even gardeners have their dreams.
05:53Has Con agreed with my idea
05:54to give the vacant unit at the marketplace
05:56to Tommy for his men's shed?
05:57A flat no.
05:58Did you explain it was just a three-month lease?
06:01For free?
06:01That's a small hit.
06:03One Con is unwilling to take.
06:05Then I may go ahead without him.
06:08Do you really want to cause such friction?
06:10There will always be losers in any deal.
06:13You're not crying tears over JJ.
06:15You can't waste energy feeling sorry for Tommy.
06:19I'll see you.
06:39She's older than I remember.
06:41You all are.
06:45This might be a wasted journey.
06:51Rose.
07:00Rose.
07:03It's been too long.
07:06I'm Father Art.
07:09You knew me in the flats.
07:15Father Art.
07:16And this is Carol.
07:20I'm from the flats as well.
07:25And Michelle Foley saw her.
07:31Why'd you bring that Debbie one here?
07:33I told them I never wanted to see her again.
07:39You're a cheating bitch.
07:45I'm not Debbie.
07:47Tell her.
07:56We don't challenge her.
07:58We wait to see if she remembers.
08:01How long will that be?
08:07Ray.
08:09I got a run from town with Victor.
08:11He's having engine issues.
08:12I told him I'd get you to take a look this afternoon.
08:15I know it's presumptuous, but he was so pleased.
08:18It would be nice to have him saying good things about us.
08:20Oh, no, I'm not complaining, you know.
08:22I'm grateful.
08:24You know, Doug is acting like I'm already gone.
08:26You're still our top man.
08:28I called Victor, yeah.
08:30And, uh, I'll tell him he'll do it.
08:31I'm ready.
08:32I'm waiting.
08:32That's right.
08:35Oh, hey, Dan.
08:37Would you drop off a couple of packages for Comet?
08:39When?
08:40Now would be good.
08:41I'm busy.
08:43I've okayed it with Doug.
08:45I am busy.
08:47It could be the start of a nice little nixer for you.
08:49It'll help fill the days.
08:52Yeah, well, if Arthur, you know, I'm going to finish him with your shift.
08:54And if it suits, if it suits, then there's no problem.
08:58Ah, yes.
08:59Quite a fine plan to be kidding me, does he?
09:04You know, he's kidding himself.
09:06Who's really going to miss the garage?
09:08Remind him he still has a contribution to me.
09:11Just not in the garage.
09:17Hi.
09:18Hey.
09:20What's up?
09:20When Con went to Drada, he, uh, he left his car here.
09:24He's just got word that all four tyres were slashed.
09:27No damage to any of the vehicles parked nearby.
09:30Could be targeted.
09:32That's a leap.
09:33He's in a bidding war where he's just outbid JJ Nash.
09:37It could be a warning that JJ will not accept losing.
09:40Is that what you think?
09:42Is that what you think?
09:43Con does.
09:45I'm inclined to agree.
09:46Do not encourage him to butt heads with JJ Nash.
09:49Well, I certainly won't be advising him to lie down and take it.
09:53Of course, we could be wrong.
09:56Of course, we could be wrong.
09:56Maybe Tommy isn't buying the whole building collapse.
09:59No, he is.
10:00He doesn't think I'd lie to him.
10:02We still have to consider the fact that he might have suspicions.
10:06How has he been?
10:08Disappointed.
10:09Frustrated.
10:10Well, target slashing is the action of a frustrated loser.
10:15If you and Con accuse Tommy of this, I'll be leasing that unit to the shed rent-free for a
10:20year.
10:22You might be right.
10:23I think our original assessment was correct.
10:26I'll be advising Con to make an official complaint.
10:29But you watch your back.
10:31Tommy might start seeing through that friendly smile of yours.
10:36I'll see you.
10:57Remember the dances, Rose?
11:01Homemade dresses.
11:03Secondhand with alterations.
11:06Ribbons and bows.
11:09A sewing circle used to do them.
11:16Madge King ran them.
11:18She did.
11:19She was a real sergeant major.
11:22Oh.
11:24Those dances.
11:26And...
11:27Minerals.
11:32And...
11:33Cake.
11:37Magella Foley used to make a lot of those.
11:40Her daughters helped.
11:44The older one used to sneak into the dances to eat them.
11:51Rose, do you trust me?
11:57I do.
12:00She is not Debbie.
12:03You're mistaken.
12:05Her name is Carol Foley.
12:09This is Magella's daughter.
12:14Carol.
12:15Carol.
12:31You knew us.
12:34Carol and Denise.
12:39Carol was a real tomboy.
12:41Always smoking.
12:43Yeah.
12:44That was me.
12:46My mamma, Jella, always hoped my younger sister wouldn't follow me example.
12:52Do you remember Denise?
12:58And her da.
12:59Trigger.
13:04Trigger.
13:10Let's leave Rose for a bit.
13:13We were getting somewhere.
13:15Maybe as far as we're going to today.
13:28Victor rang here.
13:29You can have Judy Evie.
13:31I knew you'd see since.
13:33No, it's not that I can't do it.
13:35It's just that, you know, he's a priority.
13:36Time has money with him.
13:37Oh, yeah.
13:38You know the boss.
13:45Do you know a Mrs. Harkin?
13:48Unfortunately, yeah.
13:49She's one customer I won't miss.
13:51I've always found a fault.
13:53Something.
13:54She called into the office.
13:55I haven't done my own.
13:57Well, she did say a lot about you.
14:00She said she'll miss your lively discussions.
14:03Oh, is that where they were?
14:04She sang your praises.
14:07She thinks you'll be a huge loss to the garage.
14:10Yeah, called you no-nonsense old school.
14:13Yeah.
14:15She left a Vino's voucher to wish you a happy retirement.
14:20Very generous.
14:22And these for Nora?
14:24Oh.
14:26I thought she hated me.
14:28You are very well liked.
14:31Remember that.
14:40We won't stay too much longer.
14:42I wasn't trying to upset her.
14:45Absolutely.
14:46But this is a traumatic memory for Rose.
14:51Rose.
14:55You're a good man.
14:59Trigger was evil.
15:02There was no good in him.
15:06Poor Magella.
15:09And our little girl.
15:11Oh, she was lovely.
15:12Real innocent.
15:17That flat was no place for an innocent.
15:20Definitely not.
15:23And there was an older sister.
15:27She disappeared.
15:29That was me, Rose.
15:34I'm glad the little girl escaped.
15:38With your help, she grew up safe.
15:41She's now a successful businesswoman.
15:46Poor Magella.
15:49What about Magella?
15:51She had no life.
15:54A punch bag for Trigger.
15:59And then the Clinch brothers got her.
16:03Disgusting what they made her do.
16:08I want to go.
16:10I want to go home.
16:11Everything's okay.
16:13You're safe.
16:21I don't want me, Nor.
16:23Tommy.
16:26Hey, Sammy.
16:27What?
16:28Lovely job on those window boxes in the station.
16:30Oh.
16:31Must get some of that colourful vegetation for the bookies.
16:34Well, I'm taking orders.
16:35Although better not.
16:37Losing punters, I'd love to take it out by yanking the head off a tulip.
16:42Just letting you know that it's full steam ahead for Rafferty on that purchase.
16:46Knocking the building was a dirty trick, but paid off.
16:50Happy accidents are rarely accidents.
16:53Well, it wasn't on purpose.
16:58Reply to his apology text now.
17:00Nah, nah.
17:00Let him suffer.
17:01He deserves it.
17:04But just say hello so he knows it's not a freeze-out.
17:09How are you?
17:16I tried.
17:17Oh, yeah.
17:18I'm back breaking over it.
17:21Ah, just meet me at the station later.
17:24Ah.
17:25This is one of those things where you invite both of us without telling the other one who's
17:29coming.
17:30Just be there.
17:31No.
17:32Okay.
17:33Then enjoy your work when I join the freeze.
17:38Tommy.
17:40Hiya.
17:41Yeah.
17:42Have you been thinking about the next step?
17:44Well, it sounds like you have.
17:47It would be difficult to find a permanent premises at the right price.
17:50Impossible.
17:51I was this close.
17:55Yeah, but that building was knocked on purpose.
17:58Deliberately demolished?
18:00What makes you say that?
18:01Well, who's the only winner here?
18:03Con Rafferty.
18:04I'm convinced he's made a fool of me.
18:06And Emma.
18:07Well, they should both confront him.
18:09Yeah.
18:09What if I'm wrong?
18:10And if you're right, you can't let him away with it.
18:14Yourself and Emma could really put it up to him.
18:16Yeah, I'll see what Emma says.
18:18Yeah, look, I know the location for the shed meetings is all over the place.
18:22Like, Ray said you can't even be sure of the community centre.
18:25And that's where I started on this effort.
18:27As a temporary measure, what about doing a rotating location?
18:33Like, like book a room in the community centre for one week.
18:37Our house the next, then yours.
18:40I was talking to Sharon.
18:41She's willing to give up her house once a month when she's working late.
18:45Emma might not even be talking to me after accusing her business partner of dirty tricks.
18:49But you will?
18:50Yeah, I owe it to the group.
18:52And to myself.
18:54See you.
18:57Well, Victor left here with a smile on his face, promising to tell all these punters how great we are.
19:03I'll finish the EV.
19:05And I'll keep taking courses as well so we can put the word out that the garage is future-proof.
19:09New technology, no problem.
19:11Yeah, and I'll make sure that Mando includes it in the marketing.
19:14I don't know if we'll ever have such a good team again.
19:18Two work comrades pulling together.
19:20Ah, we always do.
19:22Well, we had our moments, but we always worked our own.
19:26You know, I think it's fair to say that of all the colleagues I've had over the years, you're the
19:31best.
19:33She was an apprentice to Masters.
19:35I wouldn't go that far.
19:36But it's good to know they're leaving the place on safe hands.
19:39I think the torch has officially been passed.
19:43And one more week.
19:50OK, thanks.
19:54All agreed?
19:57Let's go give JJ the good news.
19:59Why stir things?
20:00We have to make life interesting.
20:07Conn's offer was accepted.
20:09This is something Conn was never going to let go of.
20:12You're saying I was beaten by the better man.
20:15Then again, he had a secret weapon.
20:17A one-woman wrecking ball.
20:20Some people are saying you had your own weapons.
20:23I know setting a thug to vandalise Conn's car is beneath you.
20:27But when rumours start, it's difficult to contain.
20:30I heard his tyres were slashed.
20:32Now I discover I'm behind it.
20:34Fair warning.
20:35A complaint has been made.
20:36May the wheels of justice run smoothly.
20:39Unlike Conn's wheels.
20:46JJ only respects people who stand up to him.
20:49I have to go and meet Tommy.
20:51I love how you're so adept at separating the business and personal.
21:03Can I be honest?
21:04Please.
21:06It isn't very good.
21:10Blunt.
21:11You can handle it.
21:12Because it's not mine.
21:14Someone sent it to me for feedback.
21:16Amateur hour.
21:17Everybody thinks anyone can do it.
21:18But very few have to tell me.
21:21I'll go home there and grab my cheerleader's costume.
21:28I set up.
21:30Look, you're both boring me.
21:32I do not do boars.
21:35Apology accepted, all right?
21:37Preferred to do it in person.
21:38Because you ignored my texts for so long?
21:43The conversation's really flowing.
21:46My fault.
21:47The house is nuts.
21:49Nora and my nana are always whispering.
21:51And then they shut up when I come in.
21:53It's beyond annoying.
21:54Maybe ask what's going on, no?
22:04Look, there's no easy way of saying this.
22:09I'm pretty sure that Khan wrecked that building on purpose.
22:12In fact, I'm certain of it.
22:15Somehow he found a way to get it deliberately knocked.
22:18What on earth has put this in your head?
22:20And that's why he disappeared to Drogheda.
22:22So he wouldn't be in the picture when it was done.
22:24He'd just blame the workers.
22:26You're way off the mark.
22:27If you try to accuse him of it, I won't be able to defend you.
22:29Look, I'm only an amateur DIY man.
22:32But even I know that you have to secure the walls before you go anywhere near the roof.
22:36And any problems like that are going to be easy spotted by a professional.
22:40And you do a complete survey.
22:42You secure what needs to be secured.
22:43I'm going to stop you now.
22:44Yeah, and I know where you want to shut me up.
22:47Because you don't believe that he lied to you as well.
22:50Well, he has been.
22:51All along.
22:53Tommy.
22:54Please.
22:55Try to relax.
22:58For me.
23:02Yeah.
23:03There's low lives and then there's the clinch family.
23:06A whole new level of dirt.
23:08How do you mean?
23:09You can imagine.
23:11It's bad.
23:13You don't need to know.
23:14I want to.
23:15They're pimps.
23:18They supply women and children to the worst types out there.
23:22Then when they're used up, hooked on heroin, they get them working the streets.
23:27A grim fate for anyone.
23:30Being dead is worse.
23:33Anything's better than that.
23:36She had a chance to fight back and she took it.
23:38Did Rose say that?
23:39I'm saying it.
23:41Nothing you heard today changes anything.
23:43We go on.
23:45Till we get word of exactly what happened to Majella.
23:48Wherever she is, she got away from them.
23:51I have to believe that.
23:55I have to believe that.
24:22I have to believe that.
24:22Don't beå.
