00:00MUSIC
00:13Oi.
00:15We're gonna do the spark plugs on the car that was dropped in yesterday evening, yeah?
00:18Done.
00:20Already?
00:20Yeah, come in a bit earlier.
00:22Oh, really? What needs to do, then?
00:24There's a hatchback there, you know, come in for servicing.
00:28The exhaust pipe is done in.
00:30Did you let them know?
00:31Yeah, he told me not to bother him, you know.
00:33But he said go ahead, do it, within reason.
00:36Or replace it?
00:37No, no, just weld it. It's cheaper.
00:39Welding is only gonna fix it temporarily, Ray.
00:41He's gonna have to get it replaced eventually.
00:43Look, just weld it, you know.
00:45He'd be happy with the savings, you know. Trust me.
00:48I have been at this a while too, you know.
00:50Well, not as long as me.
00:52Hey, lads.
00:53Hello, Huey.
00:56Talk to Tommy.
00:57Yeah, yeah, last night.
00:59He said that Pigeon Fancio's Club was the perfect spot.
01:03Everything he wanted for a new base for the men's shed.
01:06He's pretty down in the dumps about it.
01:08And it fell just like that?
01:09Yeah, the roof was the only thing keeping the walls up, I dunno.
01:12Listen, maybe you can help search for a new place.
01:15You'll have time on your hands soon enough.
01:18I don't know. I might be busy.
01:20Oh, yeah?
01:21Big retirement plan.
01:23Well, I'll tell you when I know.
01:25Oh, the diary's empty, in other words.
01:27Oh, not to worry.
01:29It's a good time to experiment.
01:31Figure out how you're gonna spend the rest of your days.
01:35Haven't you always wanted to restore a vintage car or something?
01:38Might be a bit out of the budget.
01:39I suppose that rules out a world cruise.
01:44Now, look, you'll think of something.
01:46Once you retire, the days are long.
01:48The years are shorter, you know?
01:51I've been on to the family solicitor.
01:54Oh, that's a bold move.
01:56I told you.
01:57I know his wife.
01:59I had an inn.
01:59And?
02:01We'll know more soon.
02:03With the clubhouse gone, they've no reason not to sell.
02:06Yeah.
02:06Look, that land is prime real estate.
02:10Any developer would want it.
02:12This is a big win for you and Rafferty.
02:15Flattening that pigeon shack was the right move.
02:18Oh.
02:20That's him.
02:21The solicitor.
02:23Looks like our offer is about to be accepted.
02:32Denise isn't answering.
02:34Maybe she's busy.
02:35She has a business to run.
02:37So do you, by the way.
02:40I should never have said anything.
02:42You told her the truth.
02:44She'll get back to you.
02:45Give her time.
02:48Shouldn't you head to work?
02:50You seem very eager to distract me.
02:52I think you're distracting yourself from the important things.
02:56The important things?
02:57I didn't mean that.
02:59I don't mean this isn't important,
03:00but don't derail your life for someone you haven't seen since you were 13.
03:04My mother.
03:05You're some mother.
03:06Sorry.
03:08I'm angry.
03:09For you.
03:09I know you are.
03:11But that's not your place.
03:14That's Nora.
03:15Will you get it?
03:16I have to get ready for work.
03:27Hiya, Nora.
03:28Hiya.
03:32Um, Carl's just heading out.
03:35Well that's alright.
03:36I'm here to be an agony aunt for Lorcan.
03:38Poor fella.
03:39He needs someone to bend the ear off.
03:41We all remember our first heartbreak.
03:43Hm.
03:44Well don't tell him it never gets easier.
03:46I'm not sure I'm handling all this stuff with Majella the best.
03:50All you can do is be here for her.
03:54Are you?
03:56None of my business.
03:57I'm sure you'll sort it.
03:59Sort what?
04:01Nothing gets past you, does it?
04:03Why have a conversation?
04:04Nah, I'm still in the mood.
04:06What have you done?
04:07Alright.
04:08Give the man a break.
04:10Yeah.
04:11I'd say he needs it.
04:25No, you're back.
04:26Yeah, I was taking a break.
04:28Okay, I didn't say anything.
04:30Did you do something with that car?
04:32Yeah, I welded it in your josh pipe.
04:34Ray, I told you a man I'd replace it.
04:36And I told you not to.
04:37Yeah, and I thought the customer I would prefer if it was replaced.
04:39It might save them having to get it done in a few months.
04:42Yeah, so you disobeyed a direct order.
04:44What, were you in the army now?
04:45I called him with an estimate.
04:47And that included a new exhaust pipe.
04:49And he was happy with the price.
04:50Now I have to call him again and say what?
04:52I changed my mind.
04:53You don't need it replaced.
04:54I don't know what I'm talking about.
04:55I look like an amateur.
04:56You'd be happy with the savings.
04:57And what happens next when you're gone?
04:59Will he come back to me if he thinks I'm a dope that needs supervision?
05:02I'll talk to him and say it was my call.
05:04That'll make it worse.
05:05But what do you want?
05:06Stay away from my cars.
05:08Talk about gratitude.
05:10That's all I've done for this place.
05:11Oh, don't start that, Ray.
05:12It's nothing to do with what you've done for the place.
05:14I need to think about my job.
05:15Are you gone soon, man?
05:16I'm not.
05:17I need the customers to trust me.
05:19So stop going over my head.
05:21Well, why don't you work your stuff?
05:23And I'll work mine.
05:24And before you know what, well, the week will be over.
05:27And I'll be out of your hair.
05:31Fine.
05:34Con wants to talk to you.
05:37Don't think there's much to say.
05:39He wants to say sorry about what happened with the clubhouse?
05:43Eh, the new home for the men's shed.
05:45Yeah.
05:46It was an honest mistake.
05:49Doesn't really affect him, though, does it?
05:51We're the ones left with nothing.
05:55I'm sorry, too.
05:56Why?
05:57Not your fault.
05:58It's my family business.
06:00It's hard not to feel partially responsible.
06:03It is convenient him being away, all right.
06:06He doesn't have to say any of this himself.
06:08That sight in Drogheda is taking up all of his time.
06:11Besides, he's not great with apologies.
06:13But he has offered to put the feelers out with his contacts
06:16to find an alternative venue.
06:18He said that?
06:20He feels bad.
06:22That'll be something, I suppose.
06:31Hello.
06:33I hope you're not doing what I think you're doing.
06:35What do you think I'm doing?
06:37Looks like I'm open.
06:38Actually, I was just texting with a mate.
06:40He's going through a similar thing.
06:42He's supposed to be having a coffee with Nora,
06:44but she had a work emergency, so...
06:46on my own.
06:49Can we join you?
06:50It's better than being on your phone.
06:52I wouldn't want to bore you.
06:54Besides, I've already got mates I can talk to.
06:56Luckily.
07:03Being a little harsh, no?
07:05I literally didn't say anything.
07:07Um, you literally did.
07:08He's the one making comments.
07:10You know, he's pretty loyal.
07:13Are you being serious right now?
07:16Most people would kill for a friend who would leave a festival early for them.
07:20I wouldn't turn my nose about that if I were you.
07:28Do you see the welding art?
07:33Hello?
07:38Hello?
07:38I know you, pal.
07:39Yeah, yeah.
07:40You can collect your card any time.
07:42Yeah.
07:42You're exhausting all that's done.
07:44Yeah?
07:45No.
07:45And you'll find that the bill will be a little less than you expected.
07:49Yeah?
07:50Yeah.
07:51Hi, Doug.
07:52Hi.
07:53Any plans after work?
07:55Getting chips.
07:57Going home.
07:58Watching an accent movie.
07:59So you don't have any plans?
08:01Did I say that?
08:02Why consider them big plans?
08:04No.
08:04Myself and Hughie are treating my dad to a bite to eat and a drink later.
08:08You should come.
08:09It'll be fun.
08:10There'll be chips.
08:12That's nice of you, but why?
08:14Well, we're soft launching the whole retirement thing.
08:18You know, trying to ease him into it.
08:19I reckon if we have a big party, it'll be too emotional for him.
08:22So I thought I'd just bring him out for a burger, raise a glass,
08:25and get him used to the idea.
08:28What do you think?
08:28Do you think he'll come?
08:30I'd love to, but I have nono, so...
08:33I thought she said you were watching an action movie.
08:36Yeah, with nono.
08:37She loves them.
08:38She's not a bit young.
08:40Kung Fu Panda.
08:41Sorry.
08:42You know, yeah.
08:43By the books, there's some miscommunication there, yeah.
08:46Yeah.
08:46Okay.
08:47See you, bye.
08:48So, did you get my text?
08:50Are we good for dinner?
08:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:52Sounds good.
08:53Give me a minute.
08:54There's something I need to sort.
08:57Doug.
09:03You were right.
09:05That was a customer from Elliot.
09:08He wants the exhaust replaced.
09:11Yeah, well, I can't stay.
09:13I have plans.
09:14I've actually got annoyed to myself at once.
09:16What?
09:17Well, me and nono.
09:18I can't stay.
09:20Yeah, well, you know, I'll come in early and I'll replace her.
09:24It was my mistake.
09:25Really?
09:25Good.
09:26Good.
09:27Fine.
09:27Here.
09:29Here.
09:31Here.
09:31Here.
09:31What's that about?
09:33Don't know what you're talking about.
09:41Hiya.
09:42Hiya.
09:44Hiya.
09:45Hiya.
09:48Can I at least get a coffee, if not a smile?
09:51Well, one of the lads will sort you, yeah.
09:53I can't promise that they'll smile.
09:56You know, I'm trying to look out for you.
09:58Yeah, I know that's what you think you're doing.
10:01What am I not getting you?
10:03Do I really have to tell you, JJ?
10:05Well, apparently, yeah.
10:07Oh, come on.
10:08Huh?
10:10Figure it out.
10:18Okay.
10:20Now would be a good time for some sage advice.
10:24It's her mother.
10:26There's no universe in which she's not going to do everything she can to find her.
10:31Even a mother who didn't protect her?
10:33Some people are better off as ghosts.
10:36Magella was Trigger's victim too.
10:38Just like Carol was.
10:41Carol got on with her life.
10:43She didn't let it define her.
10:45Not everyone's that strong.
10:47I suppose I've always thought, why not let the past be the past?
10:51Walk away.
10:52Stay away.
10:54That's you.
10:55Not Carol.
11:01I still haven't heard from the family.
11:03We have a problem.
11:04They want more.
11:05Yes.
11:06And somebody has offered it.
11:08Since this morning.
11:09How could that be?
11:10Well, maybe somebody with insider knowledge.
11:13Somebody we know.
11:14If I tell you this doesn't get back to me, this would be a serious breach of confidentiality.
11:19Do you have a name?
11:23JJ Nash.
11:43Emma.
11:47You put in an offer on the pigeon pancier site.
11:50What?
11:51Someone's had their sniffer dogs out I see.
11:54You've been doing a little digging around yourself.
11:57Turns out I knew their dad.
11:59Back in the day.
12:00Oh.
12:01Of course you did.
12:03I made the family a generous offer.
12:05So you're doing this out of charity?
12:08No.
12:08But then neither are you.
12:11Don't you think you could have talked to me first?
12:15You and Rafferty did a number on me with that whole memorandum of understanding business.
12:20I don't recall getting a heads up.
12:25May the best man win.
12:38So?
12:39How's my dad holding up?
12:40You won't tell me.
12:43It's grand.
12:44Bit more nitpicky than usual.
12:46I think I saw him make a face when I said I was going for lunch.
12:49It's a busy time of year for us.
12:51He probably wants to make sure we keep on top of it.
12:54I get twice as much to him around breathing down my neck.
12:56I thought I'd sense a bit of tension here you're alright.
12:59I can't turn a screw without him giving me notes man.
13:02I don't know what's going into him.
13:03I do.
13:05He's freaking out about retirement.
13:07She says he can't wait to be rid of me.
13:09The things we say to the people we love.
13:12Go away all that will ya?
13:13He's nervous.
13:15Ray is.
13:16No way.
13:17What do you think Huey?
13:18Terrified.
13:19He's staring into the void.
13:21He hasn't a clue what he's going to do.
13:22I just think it's kind of snuck up on him.
13:24A bit.
13:26My dad loves working.
13:27He hasn't really put much thought into what he was going to do after.
13:31They'll figure it out.
13:33We will be able to help him tonight.
13:35Talk to him.
13:36That might take the edge off.
13:39But you're going to have to be a bit more patient with him.
13:42If I had no walk I'd be out the back on a sunlounge or cocktail in hand.
13:46But the rest of your life?
13:48Sounds alright but...
13:49Yeah I suppose Ray likes to keep busy.
13:52Are you sure we can't change your mind about dinner tonight?
13:55I know you had your heart set on Kung Fu Panda.
13:58It's a classic.
14:00Yeah well look if for any reason your plans fall through.
14:03Or let's just pretend for a sec that you were making it up and you don't have anything on tonight.
14:07Alright.
14:08Fine.
14:09I don't have no no tonight.
14:11I guessed.
14:13Me and Ray we're getting on each other's nerves today man.
14:16Yeah I think we both just need a break.
14:17If anything I'm doing them afraid of staying Elby's way.
14:20You'll miss each other soon enough.
14:24Think about it.
14:31Now.
14:32Frozen pizza or waffles.
14:35Would you want to cook yourself something?
14:37Maybe a vegetable.
14:39After a day on my feet?
14:40Are you mad?
14:42You're doing well now if I don't spend all my tips on takeaway.
14:45Sometimes it's leftover muffins and bruises.
14:47You think I'm not already aware of that?
14:49I've got three in my bag.
14:53Who's that?
14:55Ruby.
14:56She just got back to me.
14:58I texted to say it was good to see her.
14:59On Monday.
15:01If she was busy I wouldn't read into it.
15:03I don't know.
15:05I feel like she thinks I'm on Lorcan's side.
15:08Are you?
15:09I'm not on anybody's side.
15:10Why do I have to be?
15:12It's just the rules.
15:14I feel like I'm losing both of them.
15:16So I'm not too well.
15:18You're in an impossible position.
15:20Like you've been there for both of them.
15:23Are you okay?
15:25Yeah. Yeah. I'm just tired.
15:28Where are the frozen pizzas?
15:36So, what's for dinner?
15:38Are you trying to be funny?
15:40Yeah.
15:41It's not working.
15:43I've been in ages.
15:45Look, I don't need you to be angry for me.
15:48I talked to Nora.
15:50And?
15:51Carol, let me help you.
15:53How?
15:54You.
15:54I have resources.
15:56I have lads working for me who are good at this sort of thing.
15:59You're good at finding me.
16:00Finding what?
16:01Dead bodies?
16:02That's not what I was going to say.
16:04I've already got someone on it.
16:06Who?
16:08Never mind.
16:12Boss.
16:14Thanks for trying to help.
16:15Okay?
16:20So, I had an idea.
16:22I wanted to run by you about the base for the men's shed.
16:25A new location?
16:26No. No.
16:27I thought I might go and visit the family again.
16:30And if I remind them how much it meant to their father, they might do me a favour.
16:36A favour?
16:38Yeah, let me talk to prospective buyers about building a men's shed on the site.
16:42You know, we'd cover the costs.
16:44There'd be tax breaks.
16:45Good PR.
16:46I think the sister would be open to it.
16:48That is an idea.
16:50Yeah.
16:51And we could do some fundraising.
16:52There's hundreds of men's sheds all over Ireland.
16:55If we got all the members to give us even a euro, we could build a new clubhouse.
16:59You know, from scratch.
17:02But hasn't the family said that you can't rebuild?
17:06They wanted someone to renovate the old clubhouse because it had sentimental value.
17:10Yeah.
17:11And it sounds like an awful lot of work.
17:14Maybe it's best to look elsewhere.
17:16I'll help.
17:17And with Con's contacts, we'll find somewhere even better.
17:21And you won't have to ask anyone to reach into their pockets.
17:25Yeah, you're probably right.
17:27Look, it was just an idea.
17:33So...
17:35This person you have on the case...
17:38You don't have to worry about it anymore.
17:40Sorry.
17:41No can do.
17:42I'm going to worry about you whether you like it or not.
17:45Well, he's meeting me here tonight.
17:48It's all very mysterious.
17:50Is he a private detective or something?
17:54Maybe you should go home.
17:56Why?
17:58Because if he's here, you might not like it.
18:02Look, whatever this is, whoever you've got to help, I'm sure you did what you had to do.
18:06I won't judge.
18:07We'll see.
18:09And then she had the cheek to get involved.
18:11Said I should be grateful to have a loyal friend.
18:14Wait.
18:15Who did that?
18:17Shifra.
18:18Are you not listening?
18:19Sorry.
18:20Sorry.
18:21Sorry, love.
18:22It's just...
18:23It's hard to keep track sometimes.
18:26So...
18:27You're annoyed at Shifra.
18:28The girl who works with Alex.
18:30Yeah.
18:31For not letting you be annoyed at Alex.
18:35Well, when you put it like that, it sounds stupid.
18:38Do you think you're angry at Alex because you're protecting yourself from feeling something else?
18:46I just feel sad.
18:48About Ruby.
18:50It's okay to feel sorry for yourself sometimes.
18:53I didn't say I was feeling sorry for myself.
18:55As long as you admit that's what you're doing.
19:00Maybe I am.
19:02A little.
19:03That's a good start.
19:05Now, let me get us a drink and you can feel sorry for yourself for as long as you like.
19:10Thanks.
19:16Carol Foley.
19:18Yeah?
19:19Father Arthur Hagen.
19:21Liam sent me.
19:23Liam sent you?
19:25Liam.
19:28Eh? Why didn't he come himself?
19:31He thought I'd be more suitable.
19:32Liam? Where's your grand plan?
19:34Sit down.
19:38Look, I know you're working so I won't keep you.
19:41Liam filled me in on your search for your mother.
19:44Yeah, I mean, how do we do this?
19:45Liam has already put out the feelers.
19:47I'm gonna follow up.
19:48I have a few contacts around the city that might know something.
19:51Homeless.
19:52Hostile workers.
19:54Volunteers.
19:55Addiction services keep records.
19:57Guarded drug units.
19:59Maybe vice units.
20:04Erm, why don't I leave you to it?
20:06Yeah.
20:11What?
20:13No need for the attitude, JJ.
20:15Just because we have conflicting business interests doesn't mean we can't be civil.
20:19Oh, right.
20:21So this is, what, a civility?
20:25You know, I can understand your problem with con.
20:27I don't blame you one bit.
20:29But taking that site from under Tommy's nose.
20:32I'm not the one who knocked the clubhouse down so the land could be snatched up.
20:37I put two and two together.
20:39It's unfortunate that it's worked out the way it has.
20:43Now, when it becomes public knowledge that Rafferty's above the site,
20:47don't you think Tommy will cop that you did it on purpose?
20:51It's business.
20:53Let me buy it.
20:54Put it all behind you.
20:57Because, if it means falling out with Tommy, you have to ask yourself,
21:01is it worth it?
21:09So, did you decide to join us?
21:12Yeah, I said it. Stick my head in.
21:15I thought you had to look after No-No.
21:17Change of plans.
21:19I don't feel obliged on my account.
21:21That.
21:23What?
21:24What's wrong with you?
21:25What's gotten into you?
21:27Nothing. Good as ever.
21:30I suppose I'm having a hard time saying goodbye.
21:37Maybe that's why I've been so tetchy with you.
21:41I mean, I have to know the place is in good hands.
21:45And to be honest, I'm not ready.
21:48What are you not ready for?
21:51I'm not ready to stop being someone who goes to work every day.
21:55What am I going to do for now?
21:57Well, you do have a granddaughter, you know.
22:01You're going to have to get up out of bed the odd time to see her.
22:04That's true.
22:06Teach her things.
22:09Like, how to change a tire.
22:11Actually, you could teach me how to change a tire while you're at it.
22:15That's all I'm good for now, is it?
22:16Hey.
22:17You led the march against Rafferty when there was protest.
22:20It's not as if we're running out of problems in the world.
22:23Someone needs to organise marches and make a nuisance of themselves.
22:28No one good at that.
22:29No better man.
22:30Tommy will need help finding another place for the men's shed.
22:34And it's not as if you'd be banned from the garage.
22:36We'll need you to stop by for the odd chat and a cup of tea.
22:39Or a lecture.
22:41Yeah?
22:41Yeah.
22:43You and Keith practically taught me everything.
22:45But that's not going anywhere.
22:47All those skills are going to be here long after you're gone.
22:52Well, that's something.
22:54Hey, come on.
22:55I've said something about ships.
23:03Good. You're still here.
23:06I've talked to Khan.
23:08We need to move fast.
23:10Like tonight.
23:11I agree.
23:12Have you told him about matching JJ's offer?
23:14And we could sweeten the deal.
23:17Maybe suggest a commemoration for the father and the club on site.
23:20I don't know.
23:21A bench or something.
23:22We can do better than a bench.
23:26This is what we're offering.
23:31Don't.
23:32Call them.
23:33Tonight.
23:33Make the offer.
23:35That's more than the sight of the worst.
23:36We haven't done all this just to lose that spot to JJ Nash.
23:41Use your head here.
23:43Does Khan even know you're offering this?
23:45What's his idea?
23:46Do you think he wants to lose to JJ any more than I do?
23:52I hope it's worth it.
23:54It has to be.
23:56Make the offer.
24:09This is my jealous daughter.
24:13Carol.
24:17You know, I think it's fair to say that, er, of all the colleagues I had over the years, well,
24:22you're the best.
24:24She was an apprentice to Masters.
24:26I'm going to stop you now.
24:27Yeah, and I know where you want to shut me up.
24:30Because you don't believe that he'd lie to you as well.
24:33Well, he has been.
24:34All along.
24:35Tommy.
24:36Please.
24:38Home.
24:46By accident.
24:47Hi.
24:48Could you have any chance?
24:48Mother's Behetto.
24:48Can I have you?
24:48See me?
24:49Please.
24:50Yeah.
