What are you doing? What does it look like?
I'm recycling it.
I was going to ask Katy to post a photo of that banner.
This way maybe some good will come of it.
Might be turned into toilet paper. Ah, don't be like that.
Are you on duty today? Heading to the rank now.
Before I forget, I'm working tomorrow night
so can we postpone the celebrations until the weekend?
Celebrations? What are you on about?
Are you serious? I'm late, can you give me a lift?
Not a taxi service.
You've been using that same joke for years.
I know. See you later. See youse.
Bye. What a grump.
He's forgotten our anniversary. Your wedding anniversary?
I'm sorry, it's just with the Leaving Cert and all...
Oh, relax. It's not till tomorrow.
So, he hasn't forgotten then? Not yet.
See ya. Bye.
You are a bad influence.
Every time you stay over, I'm at least an hour late for work.
I won't stay over any more, so. Oh, no, don't do that.
(GIGGLES) Don't mind me.
Just getting a bowl of cereal for Juliet.
Come here, I better head anyway.
So can you meet me for lunch?
It depends. I'll see if I can get through all this stuff this morning.
Flat out. You really should hire someone.
Yeah, maybe. See you later.
Bye. Bye.
Ooh, staying over again, I see. This is getting serious.
Don't be nosey.
I'm joking. He's a good bloke. I know.
And we'll be out of your hair as soon as I get sorted with work.
Any luck on the job hunt? It's tricky.
I can't take anything till Jules is sorted in school.
What about the local one? It's Juliet.
There's a different system over in England
and she was already in secondary school.
And she has it in her head that going to primary school
is like she's being held back/ You know her so well.
Well, let me talk to her, like, girl to girl.
That'd be great.
(DOUG) Depression is real though.
Look at what happened with your man Tommy Dillon.
He wasn't depressed, his pride was hurt
cos his missus had shacked up with his brother.
So it's all in her head? She's imagining it?
Basically, yeah, she's bored. She needs to do stuff.
Get out and about, get exercising.
I don't know. Are we going to Bray or what?
Yeah, why not?
Hey, you alright? How's Dolores?
Yeah, she's good today. I'm meeting her now.
You see? What?
Dolores is out and about and she has cancer.
Ma is just moping. Take it down a notch, OK?
We don't want everyone here knowing our business.
I'm just saying.
Where are you going? The jacks.
Is he alright?
Yeah, just this stuff with ma, it's a real downer.
She's still no better?
I tried to convince her to come out with us today,
get a bit of fresh air, but she wouldn't.
Just wanted to stay in the house feeling sorry for herself.
Good on you at least for trying.
And she won't shut up to me about going to the doctor.
Really? Like I'm the mentaller.
Look, I'll talk to her, OK? Thanks.
See you later. Yeah.
(RACHEL) Isn't there a word for that?
Entrapment? Oh, good woman.
You'll ace English in your Leaving.
Which I should be studying for. This will only take a second.
And don't worry, you will not be implicated.
I better not be.
"CC" as in "Community Centre"?
As in "Cass Cassidy". I want to make sure I get it back.
Now go over there and buy something
and when she pockets the money, we'll have our proof.
Hey. Erm, a packet of popcorn.
Here you go. I can't break that.
It's all I've got. Poor little rich girl.
Oh, you're in luck.
You left me a euro short.
Did I?
You're right. Silly me.
Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. Oh, yeah? How many years?
Put it like this, I'd do less for murder.
Have you got any plans? Not from me anyway.
If you want my advice - I don't.
This is the perfect time for you and Debbie to get over that tiff.
There's only a couple of days a year where you can wipe the slate clean.
Anniversaries, that's one of them.
You have how many failed marriages? Exactly, I know all the pitfalls.
I tried your advice, it didn't work.
Anyway, the whole calendar is messed up,
there's six extra hours in a year. You might be wrong there.
They sorted that with the leap year. Anniversaries are meaningless.
Not to Debbie, they're not.
When we were young and things were new and fun,
yeah, of course we celebrated, but now?
There you go. All the more reason why you should make an effort.
Hey.
Actually, do you want to take the second one?
You go. Fair play, yeah.
You on the hop? Just grabbing some lunch.
I'm a bit peckish myself actually.
It's your wedding anniversary tomorrow.
Yeah, I know. Ma thinks you forgot.
Good.
I'm doing my Leaving Cert this year. Really(?)
I don't need any extra stress clogging up my valuable head space.
Then do yourself a favour and stay out of it.
Trust me, I'd love to.
You alright? Hey.
Have you seen Kerri-Ann? I'm supposed to meet her.
No, but herself and Mondo were looking very cosy when I left.
Oh, come on.
How do you know they're not, you know, when you're out?
Kerri-Ann is not like that. Mondo definitely is though.
You, er, throwing your money away? Oh, right. Thanks.
I've had a brainwave. (SCOFFS) I doubt that.
This is going to solve all your problems.
OK. You need someone to work for you.
Someone who knows the ropes. Right.
What about Raymond? I think it's a great idea!
Nobody asked you. What do you think?
Erm...
(PETE) Neil had a big day planned for them.
Make things worse, she thinks he needs to see a doctor.
She still has it in her head that he's bipolar.
This can't be helping her depression.
I'd just hate for the lads to have to see her like this.
Have you ever thought maybe they don't have to?
Well, there's places, clinics, Jackie could go to
until she's feeling herself again.
Maybe.
Anyway, she's got enough air time.
Tell me about your flowers. Oh, yeah.
The florist can do us a package deal for 300 euro.
Are they dipped in gold?
Well, there's you, Doug, Neil, Wayne, my bouquet,
and the reception.
I thought we could go and see her today.
Yeah, yeah. Whatever you want.
(SIGHS)
OK, he's done it before and he's good with customers.
Look, I'm already living with the bloke
and now you want me to work with him, again.
Maybe it could be temporary. Temporary?
Oh, you won't regret it.
Look, I'm gonna go up and order. What do you want?
Toasted special, but no onion.
What a rip-off.
Twelve hundred a month is the cheapest you can get for a two-bed.
That's pricey, alright.
Everyone's looking for work references as well
which means I can't get a house till I get a job.
I can't get a job till I get Juliet sorted with school.
Look, I might have something going for you for a while.
Really? Yeah.
It's just temporary till you get something more permanent.
Sweet. When? This afternoon.
You can go and pick up your uniform from the office.
Great. You're on.
I'll take over here, you can go on your lunch break.
That's OK, I'm not hungry. Oh, I insist.
Fine.
So what?
I just write any purchases made on this spreadsheet?
Exactly.
Charlie? Yes, Charlotte?
We're running low on fivers over at the coffee dock.
Oh, right.
So here, four will do us.
You hang on there. I'll go and get them.
You've been taking your medication?
Yeah, for all the good it's doing.
It's better in you than in the bin. I know.
Neil meant well, he actually thinks I can cure myself
through diet and exercise.
In some cases, yeah, but not yours.
God forgive me, I think I'd actually get better a lot faster
if I had a break from him.
Have you spoken to his father? (SIGHS)
I've tried but Pete is blinded when it comes to his sons.
I know this is a delicate subject
but you have to start thinking about what's best for you.
Even if that's some time away from Neil.
Now, this cert is good for a week,
I'd be surprised if you don't feel a lot better by then.
Thanks.
And you should try setting yourself some small goals.
Going for a walk, getting dressed,
it will give you a psychological boost.
I will.
Thanks, Jackie. Yeah.
Hey, Shane. How are ya?
Hey, Pete. How are you feeling?
Not great to be honest.
I was actually just gonna go for another lie down.
Well, this won't take long. Could we sit down?
Yeah.
Is everything alright? Oh, everything's fine.
I just wanted to have a chat.
Jackie, I know you've been through the wars
but, er, I was talking to Neil earlier
and he told me that he'd organised a day out with you
but you refused.
And? Is that why you came round?
He also said you've been hassling him to go and see someone.
Did he now? Yeah.
It has to stop, Jackie.
The other day when I told you that I'd lied, I was wrong.
I'm not following.
Neil threatened to leave if I told you.
Told me what? That he needs medical help.
Immediately. Why?
He's not well, Pete.
He's not sleeping, he's erratic,
he was jogging today at half past four.
So you want me to commit my son because he went jogging?
He's a healthy young man, there's nothing wrong with that.
You're not listening to him.
I don't want him committed, I want him to get help.
Why are you doing this?
If he had a broken leg, we'd get it seen to.
If he hadn't a broken leg, we wouldn't.
This is serious.
Jackie, I don't know how much longer
I can expect the lads to put up with this.
Then help me to persuade Neil to have himself assessed.
I'm not talking about Neil. I'm talking about you.
This whole situation here. Well, what are you saying?
I'm saying it's not fair on the boys to have to put up with this.
And I think it'd be best for all concerned
if you were to find somewhere to stay
until you're feeling yourself again.
I just want you to go to a respite or a hospital or somewhere
until you're feeling better.
Neil needs my help. Our help. Why would I make this up?
I don't think you're making it up.
I think you genuinely believe what you're saying is true. But?
But you're unwell, Jackie. You're not thinking straight.
Neil is fine, I can see it, everyone can see it.
And his impulsive erratic behaviour?
Oh, let me guess, that's just Neil.
Well, he's always been like that. Which is why he needs to be checked.
Look, Jackie, why don't you just take some time out
until you're feeling better?
You always do this. What do I always do?
Undermine me. Look, come off it, OK?
Yeah. You did it 20 years ago and you're still doing it now.
Like I said,
I don't want Doug and Neil and everyone having to put up with this.
I want you to go somewhere, get help,
until you're feeling better again, do you understand that? Please!
You've earned loads of brownie points.
Is that right? Mm-hmm. Oh!
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
So you're back working for Decco? Got it in one.
And what about Juliet?
She's hanging out with Zoe for the afternoon
and as soon as she's settled, I'll figure something out.
Make sure you get yourself saving
and find a proper place to live for you and Juliet.
Yeah, I agree. That's the plan.
Come on, you. No slacking. Yeah, watch it.
The money's gone? Maybe she gave it out as change.
I thought of that
but that would mean there'd have to be a 50 in the cash box
and there wasn't.
And she definitely did try and short-change me.
She's been at that craic all week. It stops now.
Fine.
Don't worry, I'll say you knew nothing of it.
Could I have a word? In private.
What is it? This way.
What's this about?
There's no easy way to say this.
What is it?
We have a thief in our midst.
He knows it's your anniversary. That's something, I suppose.
I've had years of his sulking.
It's your granny's fault for spoiling him rotten.
Could you not go for a drink or something, kiss and make up?
I thought you were working. Yeah, I'm doing a double.
I was thinking maybe we'd go for a drink later after work?
Do you not have to study? I can take a break sometimes.
(SIGHS) Fine. Ma?
Yeah, count me in.
Oh, I just remembered, I told Rachel I'd help her study.
(SCOFFS) You're a terrible liar. You can still go with Ma.
Yeah, we'll see.
I'll take that as a yeah.
Is this the 20 you were talking about?
Give me a look.
I've never stolen anything in my life.
This can't be right.
I've warned you before.
I can't have these slanderous accusations in my community centre.
Now, you owe Charlotte an apology.
My mistake.
Good craic this afternoon. Yeah, it was alright.
I appreciate the hours, man. No worries.
Listen, I hate asking, especially as we're staying here rent free -
No.
You don't know what I'm looking for yet.
Oh, let me have a wild guess. You want an advance on your wages.
Very good.
Have you thought about getting into the fortune telling game?
No. Pay day is Friday. And you have to work a back week.
I'm smashed and I need to get stuff for Jules.
Ask your da.
You know things aren't great between us at the moment.
Please. A ton should do it.
Mondo, I don't carry that kind of money on me.
Is that why you stopped at the ATM on the way home?
There, that's all you're getting. Cheers.
To get stuff for Juliet.
Why don't you want to go back to school?
Did my dad ask you to talk to me? No.
OK, maybe. But you can talk to me girl to girl.
I don't like it.
Well, I'm sure if you give it a shot you'll love school.
No, I like school,
it's just I don't like having to move schools all the time.
Mmm, I see.
Now can I ask you something? Yeah, of course.
Are you in love with Decco? Oh, no, you don't ask that.
Why?
Because it's way too early in the relationship.
But you loved Dad and Decco always seems so cross.
He's really nice when you get to know him.
Well, my dad said he was in prison.
That was a long time ago.
Right, you ready to go? Yeah.
You two have fun. Myself and Juliet will get a takeaway later.
Hungry Pig? Whatever you want.
I have to meet Katy.
Thanks for dinner and sorry things didn't turn out as planned.
Charlie gave me a right rollicking. I thought you were my friend.
What? Rachel had nothing to do with this.
It's true. I didn't know. Really?
Really. Right.
I'll see ya.
I noticed you waited for my brother to leave
before you pulled your stunt.
Can you not see what you're doing is wrong?
It's a community centre for goodness sake.
I've done nothing.
What about her?
Charlotte Bishop? Nah.
She's cute, ask her out. And what have you to lose?
Apart from the obvious. Shut up!
You're single as well. By choice, not like you.
Look at Ray, there.
The old mechanic coming in for his after-work scoop.
That'll be you if you don't get your act together.
Ray's a sound bloke. I don't doubt it.
But there's more to life than eating curry chips,
drinking pints and...
Same again? Yeah, go on.
Same again, ta.
You know what makes me sick?
Modern medicine.
Strange, cos actually it's supposed to make you better.
Answer me this.
Before prescription medication
what did people who suffered from depression do?
Excuse me. Not until you answer.
Give the man a break, Neil. Mind your own business, Ray.
Your stunt set your mother's recovery back a week.
More money for you, you'll be delighted.
Neil, what are you doing?
There's no profit in curing people, isn't that it?
Keep them sick, keep them coming back for more.
Keep the shareholders happy. Neil, look, come on, will ya?
Listen to your brother.
You think you have everybody fooled, but not me.
I can see right through you. What's going on here?
OK, thank you. Bye-bye. They'll be down in a few minutes.
Great. I'll wait in the car and I'll see you later anyway.
Hmm? The Station?
Eoghan said we were getting together for a bit of a shindig.
He did, did he? Yeah.
Hi, Leo. I'm double parked, is that laundry ready?
He's a sneak. Who, love?
Eoghan.
I'm supposed to meet him later
and he's gone and invited Leo Dowling as well.
I don't follow.
Obviously the thought of spending some alone time with his wife
is too unbearable. Then you bring someone with you.
Now, is that laundry ready? Yeah, I'll go and dig it out.
What are you doing later? Going for a drink with you.
Thanks, Jo.
(DOUG) He was getting smart. (NEIL) It wasn't smart.
(THEY CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)
What's going on?
Your son verbally assaulted Shane.
Would you listen to yourself? "Verbally assaulted".
What are you on anyway? I'm just high on life.
See youse in the morning.
How much did he have to drink? Nothing.
He was having rock shandies. Now do you believe me?
Doug, will you give us a minute? I'm not a child.
I want to know what's going on. Will you just do what I ask ya?!
Fine.
OK, so he shot his mouth off. If it was only that.
The disappearing acts. The threats.
Just the other day he threw away my medication
and then completely denied it.
Then the incident with Bob. What does that prove?
It proves I'm not imagining it.
Do you know, there's fashionably late and then there's this.
I think maybe you're reading too much into this.
It's my fault, I've been too distracted with my new job.
Hello? You're allowed to be.
Do you know, it's our wedding anniversary tomorrow.
Well, there you go, he's probably organising something fabulous.
Maybe. (LEO) I'll have a pint of lager.
Cider. And whatever the ladies are having.
I'll have the same again. Thanks. What kept ya?
Er, work. You could have let me know.
Yeah, well, I'm here now.
Can I get a pint, please, and another one for the ol' fella.
You shouldn't be wasting your money on gargle.
I inherited that from you.
For your information, I never drank my wages.
I made sure you had plenty of food and clothes and somewhere to live.
And Juliet deserves the same. I came in for a drink not a lecture.
You know, I have to admit,
having an extra pair of hands today was fairly grand.
Oh, he's great with his hands.
At work, that is, I mean. Yeah, well, I'm glad we came out.
You know, just us.
I don't believe this. Not interrupting?
Just waiting on a take away from the Hungry Pig.
Mind if I join youse? Yeah, sure.
Shane, look, I'm very sorry about Neil.
He just shoots his mouth off.
Yeah, thanks, but listen, it's not you that should be apologising.
Look, I don't know what comes over him.
Talk to Jackie about him, Pete.
She seems to have a bit of a handle on this.
Are you saying what I think you're saying?
Just talk to her.
Yeah, right. Can I get you a drink?
No, you're alright. Thank you though.
Thank you.
Alright, Ray? Can I get a pint of lager, please?
Thank you.
Sons, eh? Who are you telling.
Yeah, we've all said stupid things when we were drunk.
That's just it. He didn't have a drop taken at all.
Oh.
His mother thinks he needs to see a specialist.
He might have bi-polar disorder. And what do you think?
Well, it would explain his erratic behaviour over the years.
If the right treatment would work, isn't that a good thing?
Yeah. You're right, I suppose.
If he had a broken leg we wouldn't be discussing it, we'd fix it.
Exactly. There's no stigma attached to it now.
It's not like the old days. Yeah, you're right, Ray.
If my son needs help, I'm gonna make sure that he gets it.
