I've written a list.
I can't ask all that. He'll cop something's up.
But I need you to...
You don't need to know all this stuff for a wisdom tooth.
He's not stupid, Orla. Only the essentials.
These are the essential. Says who? The internet?
Look, stop freaking yourself out. When are you going to see him?
First thing in the morning.
I have to get clearance first. Well, why can't you go today?
I can't just go barging in. He'll wanna know why.
Make up an excuse, Caoimhe.
This isn't for me, OK?
I know, or I wouldn't be doing it.
My family doesn't owe you any favours.
Alright, you're right. I'm sorry. No, you're not.
You'd say anything you could for your child, and I get that,
but I have to protect my dad.
Hiya.
Hi. Hi.
How's the son and heir? He had a rough night last night.
Right, well, you know, it'll all be fixed soon, right?
Yeah. Hopefully.
Erm... will you give me a shout about that thing, then? Yes.
See ya. Bye.
It's tough on them. It's a straightforward procedure.
Look, is... is everything OK? Why?
You've just been kind of all over the shop
since you came back from Kilkenny.
I can't be little Miss Sunshine all the time.
This is so pathetic.
It'll just be weird for a couple of days, alright?
Make that years.
Don't give me that look. You hated school.
Yeah, cos I didn't have your brains.
Look, you'll make a few new friends and you'll be grand.
We'll share our crayons and play skipping at break time.
They're not that much younger.
I'm sure most of them have killed a relative or two,
we'll have loads in common.
If you let that screw up the rest of your life,
he is still controlling you.
Look, here, go get some, erm, chips or something for your lunch.
Good luck with school.
Sure, what can you do? Big brother has spoken.
Yeah, and I always do what I'm told.
My da ask you to come here? Did you go to A and E?
There's no need. Any dizziness, nausea?
No. I'm fine. Although, if you've a few painkillers in that bag...
That's not how I do business.
Dean, you know you could end up dead.
Look, we all gotta go sometime.
Mm. Well, it's your life... waste it if you want to.
I didn't ask you to come here.
Oh, don't worry, I won't trouble you again.
You wouldn't go to the hospital.
If you want me to stay here, you're gonna have to stop interfering.
I was concerned.
I'm fine, Da. You're worrying yourself about nothing.
So, er, how's Rach? Fine, I suppose. Why?
She didn't seem too happy last night.
Not that I noticed.
Yeah, I think that might have been the point, Paul. You arrived late.
Yeah, well, I was, erm... I was looking for Callum, wasn't I?
You could have done that today.
It was supposed to be Rachel's evening.
And when you did arrive, you barely said two words. I was worried.
How many times has Callum done a disappearing act?
Rachel's important, too, Paul.
And you know what? He'll get in touch once he cools down.
Which'll be never.
Sorry?
He's sick of all the head games that go on here.
And how do you know that?
Cos he posted it online. Oh, sorry, didn't you know?
I thought he would have added you. Did he say where he was?
No, and don't go looking because he'll just block you.
Well, at least you know that he's OK.
Yeah, and putting our private life out there so every idiot can see it.
Yeah, it's not like you tried to murder Michael in the street.
Can we please just stop this?
Look, I know you're angry with me for yesterday, and I'm sorry.
But I'll make it up to you. We'll... get a cake or something, yeah?
No, thanks. I want a piece of cake.
Well, Ruthie, I don't know, if Rachel doesn't want one, then we can't.
Seriously, Dad, using Ruth to blackmail me?
What's blackmail?
Yeah, let's get a nice big cake, and that'll make everything great.
Listen, er, I'll see if I can get a replacement part,
but you might be better off getting a new machine altogether.
Yeah, whatever you think.
Orla was saying that you had a tough time with Junior last night.
Yeah. Yeah.
Ah, you know, it'd kill you.
He's just this tiny little thing,
and... he doesn't know what's going on around him.
He'll be grand. Yeah.
I just want it to be all over now, you know?
Can I ask you a question? Yeah.
Actually, do you know what? It's nothing.
No, no, no. What is it?
Caoimhe. I know there's something going on with her,
but she's not telling me.
Yeah?
Ever since she got back from Kilkenny, you know?
She's been acting weird. So?
So maybe, you know, she met someone. An old flame.
Don't be silly. You're letting your imagination run away with you.
Did Orla say anything? Orla? No.
It's just that, er, I seen them, you know, earlier on,
they were talking real serious, then when I arrive... zip.
Ah... no, no. That doesn't mean anything.
Wayne, if you know, just tell me.
Listen... you're just being paranoid.
OK? Which I can understand, a hot chick and a big lump like you.
That's what I mean. Ah, no, come on, I'm just joking with you.
I just don't want to be made a sap out of, you know? You're not.
Hey, Dolores.
Anyway, I'll be off.
Bye, love. Thanks, man.
See ya. Give me a call when the part comes in, will ya?
Yeah, yeah, I will.
He thinks Caoimhe's going off him. All the secrecy and everything.
(SIGHS)
He's my best mate. You can't tell him the truth, Wayne.
It's bad enough that Caoimhe knows. OK, OK. Relax.
I don't need you getting stressed out about this, alright?
Caoimhe won't go see Tommy until tomorrow morning. What good is that?
We need to know before the operation. OK. Just sit down and relax.
Did you not hear what I said? Did she say why?
She doesn't want to upset him by just arriving.
I mean, she was this close to saying she wasn't going to go at all.
Do you want me to talk to her?
No. No, you need to go home and rest. Do you hear me?
Right. Well, call me if you hear anything, alright?
Yeah. See you later. See you, Orla.
Bye.
(SIGHS)
We can't be stressing her out like that, do you hear me?
I'm sorry... it just came out.
We're going to have to make Caoimhe go today.
We can't force her to go. We need to know.
If she goes there first thing in the morning,
there'll still be plenty of time.
So, Monday? No, no, no. I'll be ready for that.
What's the address?
Yeah, yeah, I know it. Come here, what odds have been put on me?
Alright. OK, I'll see you then.
Right. Good luck.
Here, Ray, do you know, he's only going and getting himself
another fight for tonight. Can you believe that?
He'll do what he likes, no matter what you say.
I had the same with Mondo.
I'm gonna have to stop him. He's a grown man.
I can't just sit around and do nothing.
Why don't you try and talk sense to him?
And what if he doesn't listen? Like I say, he's a grown man.
Hey. What's the story with Callum and the garage?
I had to turn down two service jobs this morning.
You did what? I'm running the place single-handed.
In case you hadn't noticed, I spent most of yesterday at car auctions
and I'm going to another one today.
And muggins here has to service every one that you buy.
That's on top of the repairs and the driving lessons.
Now, I know Callum is your son, but if he doesn't get back pronto,
then you wanna think about hiring someone else.
Oh. So you're calling the shots now, are you? No, I'm talking sense.
Have you any more driving lessons today? Mrs Caldwell.
Cancel her. I can't.
The service jobs are more important.
Word will get around, right. I might as well pack in the driving school.
You cancel her, or I will.
Hey.
Your brother was right, telling him to shove his job.
Well, he had a bit of conflict of interest scenario.
Yeah. At least Paul doesn't get to play the great dictator any more.
All bosses are the same.
Renee's just taken on some new intern,
and she wants me to train her for no extra pay.
You have your rights, you know. Not as far as Renee is concerned.
Someone should remind her of the words of Mr James Larkin.
Your man in O'Connell Street? Yeah.
"The great appear great because we are on our knees. Let us rise!"
Jim.
It's Dean, he's set up another fight.
Why are you telling me this? I don't know who else to go to.
He made his feelings clear. What happens if he goes ahead?
Help me.
Look, I can mop up after the crash, but I can't stop it happening.
Good luck, Leo.
Caoimhe, could I have a word, please?
Could you just go? Orla, we've had this discussion.
Well, do you want to have it again in front of Renee?
Don't be stupid. Can you just... go today?
What did I say?
I am not waiting for my child to be wheeled into an operating theatre
to find out that there's a problem.
And I am not pushing my father over the edge.
Fine.
Well, then I'm gonna go.
And I don't care what I have to do or say to get to talk to him.
Alright? You alright, dude?
Come here, are you up for a pint later?
Otherwise occupied. Jane. Oh. Lovely.
Hang on.
On sec.
Chariot couriers.
You're joking?
Wh... No. What happened?
Lovely. Well, thanks for ringing me.
That was the school.
Charlotte's been sent home. She's after getting into a fight.
I'm sorry for turning up without notice, but it's really important.
Can you let my dad know I'm here?
Caoimhe, I'm sorry, your father's been released.
There must be some mix up. There's no mistake.
Well, has he been moved somewhere else?
He was released back onto the prison system,
but as far as I know, he's been let out on probation.
This can't be right. Why weren't we contacted?
That was Mr Dillon's decision.
But the last time I saw him, he didn't say anything.
I'm sorry. He did leave this for you. Hopefully it might explain.
Excuse me.
Heads up, Paul is looking for you. Well, let him look.
He says he's got some fella wants his car back.
I'm entitled to me lunch and I'm taking it, every last minute of it.
A bit of give and take never did any harm.
Yeah. Well, except for people like you and Paul,
It's all take and no give. Isn't that right, Katy?
I just came in for a Pot Noodle.
What's going on here? I don't know.
Are you, or are you not asking this young lady to
take on extra duties without extra pay?
I'm allowed to give out. Did you ever hear of loyalty?
Chill out, Renn.
I've had quite enough of your cheek.
Oh, so she doesn't have the right to free speech either?
As if anyone ever shut up an O'Brien.
Don't slag off my family! Can we all calm down?
She started it.
Yes, and you better stop it, or else you'll be looking for a new job.
That's intimidation. You can keep your stupid job.
Ah, don't be silly.
I quit. Stick that up on your roster.
Are you happy now?
Dean, wait.
Dean, cancel it. That was a private phone call.
You've the doctor telling you you needed to be seen by a hospital.
I know what I'm doing. You're injured!
It's nothing I can't handle. OK, then. Come on. Prove it to me.
Take me on.
Don't be stupid, Da. Come on, give it your best shot. Go on.
Da, will you get out of the way, please?
You're going to hit me? If I have to.
OK, you need to relax now.
Dean, please, I'm begging you, please don't do this.
The fight isn't until Monday. I'll be fighting fit.
Wh... Monday? Yeah.
I thought it was tonight.
No. Oh, OK. Look, I get why you're freaking.
But I'll be totally back in shape by then.
So you can get yourself pummelled?
Will you have a bit of faith, Da, please? I usually win.
In fact, you should actually throw a few bob on me.
Dean, I don't understand you.
(DOOR OPENS)
A mill on your first day?
I was keeping to myself and a gang of snobs went for me.
They were saying really horrible stuff about Da.
Then one stupid cow started calling Ma The Black Widow. It was sick.
You still shouldn't have hit anyone. I didn't. I walked away.
One of them tripped me and the other got my hair.
Of course the teacher blamed me. You didn't tell her what happened?
If you're a Bishop, you're always in the wrong.
Caoimhe. He wasn't there.
What do you mean? He's been released.
What? Where is he? I don't know. He's just gone.
This one's on me, seeing as you got fired.
I didn't get fired, I quit. Either way, you're out of a job.
I was sick of Renee moaning at me all the time anyway.
The only thing I'll miss is the money.
Are you going to move back home? Yeah, right.
Anyway, I still have the Chariot gig.
Look, if you ever need a dig out for rent or whatever, I'm your man.
That's why you're my favourite brother.
Sorry for landing you in it, but I'll fix it.
Renee's just being the queen of Phelan's. No big whoop.
Oh, no. She foisted extra unpaid duties on you, and when you refused,
which you're entitled to do,
she made it impossible for you to continue on in her employ.
Yeah, whatever. Oh, no, that's exactly it.
What?
Well, under the Unfair Dismissal Act of 1977.
Look, I'll write it all down for you.
So you know what to say, so you can get your job back.
Oh, seriously, Ray, there's no need. Oh, no, no, it's no bother.
Michael, drop us over a pint? Sure.
Can I have a seat? Yeah, yeah.
Look, erm... a couple of years ago, I was mugged.
I was on a night out with a girl, and I got the head kicked off me.
Why didn't you tell me?
I was embarrassed, beaten up by a kid.
Anyway, the next day I walked into a boxing club.
And, erm, turns out I was good. I had a natural talent.
Why don't you go legit?
Ah, that's a young man's game. But the bare knuckle, I can do that.
I can make a lot of money.
But the real reason I do it is... I love it.
The buzz.
I'm just being honest with you.
This is all my fault.
I should have found out about this stuff when I knew I was pregnant.
I should have known. Listen to me.
Junior's going to have his operation and he's going to be fine.
We don't know...
Yeah, we do. He's a big, healthy kid. Because of you.
He's going to be back home with us, messing around before you know it.
The risk is minimal, that's what all the doctors have said, right?
We don't know if Tommy...
Listen, do you not think, if there was anything really wrong,
that Caoimhe would told us?
Her meeting with Tommy would have been just all... belt and braces.
That's all.
I'm just so scared.
Maybe if you apologised to Renee. Yeah, right.
She's such a sour cow. Was someone talking to you?
Just saying.
She's right, all Renee did was boss me around.
Yeah, actually, she is kind of bossy.
Yeah, let her keep her manky job. It's her loss.
I saw what happened on the school yard.
You should get them suspended. For doing me a favour?
How?
Duh. You really think I'd sit in a class
with a load of fifth years? Nobody bullies me.
I slagged off that stuck-up Amy Monaghan.
You started the fight?
Poor little Charlotte, bullied because she's a Bishop.
You're mental.
Hey, I'm finished with school. Mission accomplished.
So, what are you going to do? Whatever I like.
Why don't we go out tonight and celebrate?
I can get us in to HellNight. What's that?
The pop-up club in Smithfield.
Do you guys want to come? Sure.
I have this thing with my parents.
But no, it's cool. I'll tell them there's a change of plan.
Hiya. Hi. Hi.
I have a couple forms for you to fill in.
Medical history and consent for the procedure. OK.
I was just wondering, erm, does he 100% have to have the operation now?
I'm sorry, I thought all this was explained to you.
Yeah, she's just a little bit nervous.
Junior will be very carefully monitored throughout.
He is in extremely safe hands.
Why don't I leave these? You can fill them in and drop them to me.
Alright. And try not to worry.
Thanks.
We don't have a choice. Alright?
Caiomhe.
Wayne phoned. Have you any idea where Tommy's got to?
No.
Well, maybe if you contacted Judith or your sisters.
I spoke to Neasa. No one knows anything.
What about his friends in Kilkenny?
I've done all I can. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Sure, it must have been an awful shock for you.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for trying anyway.
Hey, Dolores.
You alright? Damien, I need to be by myself right now.
Caoimhe, come on, talk to me.
I went to visit my dad. He wasn't there.
He's been released.
Left me a letter.
He's gone on a journey of healing.
He loves me... and he hopes those flowers I planted for him
are coming into bud. And that's it.
He doesn't say where he was going, or...?
Nothing.
Caoimhe, your old man, he's a strong guy,
you know, I wouldn't be worrying about him.
He can go to hell.
Alright? Hey. How's Junior?
Yeah, he's good, yeah. I just came to get some stuff for him.
Right. He's a strong little lad.
Yeah.
Poor guy.
Yeah.
Surprise!
Congratulations. Good girl.
Oh, I thought it was just cake. As if. You did really well.
The young genius, and I'm quoting your father there.
Here, I got you a card.
Thanks, Cass. You're welcome.
We're all very proud of you. So straight As in the Leaving, yeah?
No pressure. (LAUGHS)
And, Ruthie, what are we going to have to eat? Pizza.
We thought we'd make a night of it, you know.
Dad, can I grab you for a minute? Sure, yeah.
Everything alright?
Yeah, it's just, I've made plans to go out with my friends tonight.
Not this evening?
I didn't know you were going to make such a big deal.
Is everything OK? She's, erm, arranged to go out.
Oh. Well, OK, I suppose if you'd prefer...
Well, she can't be out two school nights in a row.
Last night doesn't count. We were home really early.
But you were kicking off, saying we weren't pay you enough attention,
now you give us this? I only said yes for Ruth.
How about a compromise? Why don't you invite your friends over?
What, to play pass the parcel?
You can go into the den there, watch a movie or something.
I'm not asking Katy and Charlotte... Whoa! Hold... Whoa, hold on.
Charlotte? I'm hungry.
Come on, Ruthie, let's do a bit of colouring.
Why are they fighting? Oh. We'll give you a bit of space.
It's OK, I'm not staying anyway.
Paul, leave her.
Charlotte Bishop? You can't choose her friends.
Oh, can't I?
Do you want her moving out? She wouldn't last a day.
OK, do you know what? Stop it. Back off, stop trying to control her.
Katy said I can get ready in her place.
Rach, will you listen to me... I'm going clubbing! Don't wait up.
Fantastic.
Two weeks, sure, he could be halfway around the world.
Or he could be around the corner. What if he comes back?
But he has no idea. The Dillons know.
Do you really think they're not going to tell him?
Then we fight.
He took a gun to keep what was his.
Wayne, stop thinking like that.
He better keep on going for his own sake.
Wayne. No. No one takes my son from me.
