Are you sure he can get a total refund?
Yeah. As long as I deliver them back to the depot.
Positive you don't want to keep two?
Yes. It's simpler that they all go back.
Neil?
I know you meant well. Thanks.
It's a shame. They were such a bargain.
If we want this to be the end of it, he has to make that appointment.
I'll walk him to the door. If only you could go in with him.
That's up to Neil. (SIGHS)
I know. Of course. We have to trust him.
Do you want me to drive them back? I thought you might come with me.
I'll drop you to your appointment on the way back.
I was gonna postpone. I heard about this Segway racing I want to try.
It could take ages to get another appointment.
I suppose. Maybe I'll just leave it. I don't need a lift.
Alright. Someone has to go with him.
I could call work and get the day off.
No, you've taken enough time. He mightn't want you to go.
Look, I think he knows he has a problem.
He just doesn't want us all ganging up on him.
I reckon he'll go to his appointment.
He's coming round to the idea of getting help?
He knows the TV thing was bad.
Him telling you doesn't mean he believes it himself.
So, what do we do?
Well, the three of us need to not let him out of our sight
until he goes to that appointment.
Right, OK. I'll catch up with you after work.
Is that about the van? I'll get it for you later.
I've been asking about this for ages. I've been busy.
Doing what, working on your tan? Pick it up today.
How's things? Fantastic.
What's wrong with him?
I asked him to keep an eye on the fort for a few days.
You'd think he'd enjoy the chance to show off his managerial skills.
You can look after the place, right? Just tell him not to be so stroppy.
Where will you be?
Don't get jealous. I have my own little enterprise.
I've a race meeting coming up. Down Royal. It's always worth the trip.
Hey. How are you? Hey, baby.
Don't let me stop you. I won't.
Right. I better open up. I'd better get on too.
Carol? Things shouldn't be awkward between us, you know?
This trip Robbie has planned.
What's the story? Apart from fleecing the punters?
Do you want me to open the door? No. I have to get used to it.
Alright. See you. See you.
How are the stress levels? I need coffee.
You've had enough coffee. Stick to green tea.
You know I'm not a waitress. We are kind of busy here, so...
I know what it's like. I'm flat out. It's not really the same, is it?
You think studying is harder than real work?
Pushing pills is hard work? I was talking about this place.
Yeah. That cloth looks really heavy. Stop it, both of you.
I'm going home. It's too distracting here.
Hey, have you seen Neil? Not today, sorry.
I swear, he was right beside me. I turned around and he was gone.
Try Doug again. He's not answering his phone.
Neither is Neil.
Maybe they're together and we're running around over nothing.
Yeah, maybe. Come on.
I knew you were handy when you had to be.
Can I get back to work now? Yeah.
Hi. Do you guys know anyone that works here?
I'm coming.
Spill it.
I asked him to help with something. He works for me. Not you.
Don't tell me it was something for this place.
Or will I just ask Sean myself?
Alright. I'm doing a favour for Mick. Holland?
I had to get him a van. You mean Sean did.
I was doing other things. Don't give me the run-around.
Alright. It's a mercy mission.
Me and a mate are gonna lift the booze, the coffee machine
and everything else that's not nailed down in his bar.
And how does this help him?
I'm going to flog the lot and give him the cash.
He's a mess. The man needs my help. Was this your idea or his?
He doesn't know. If I told him, he'd completely fall apart.
I want in. Look, man, it's sorted.
You said I wasn't a good enough friend. I want to help.
Thanks.
(PAUL) Great. There's your da.
I thought Ray was looking after her.
You see, he's kind of busy, you know, doing his job.
Here, go and choose something. A takeaway, yeah?
What are you playing at? She loves hanging out at the garage.
And do you really think a workshop is a safe place for a kid?
She could wait in the office.
Oh, right. So I'm your babysitter now, am I?
It's just for an hour until I finish my deliveries.
You don't do yourself any favours, do you?
What if Kira was to find out cos someone told her?
Now, who'd do that?
Some people might feel it was their duty.
I could just stay here for a while. I don't mind.
I'm not leaving you anywhere on your own.
Well, I could hide in the van with you. Decco wouldn't see me.
That's not safe. I'll have to call in sick or something.
Well, how are the Faheys?
Good. Yeah? You're not doing any laundering?
No, we're here to discuss a contract with Bob, actually.
But he's been detained. Oh. Cool.
I've been meaning to say sorry. That was a fair cop the other day.
I've a long way to go before I'm as good a parent as you.
At least you can admit it. I better get back to work.
We'll try and catch Bob later. See you.
See you, Dermot. I'd better be off too, love.
Listen, I think what Juliet is lacking is a good female role model.
Like you. You wouldn't mind if she hung out with you for an hour or so.
She really likes your company.
You are so transparent. Just for an hour. Please. I'm stuck.
You shouldn't have taken her out of school.
I know. That was stupid. And I'm sorting that.
But think of the stuff you could show her today.
She could help.
Please. If I don't finish these deliveries, I'll lose my job.
We'll be even more unsettled. OK, OK, OK. One hour. Tops.
And only because I feel sorry for her.
You're a life saver. Thanks.
Sweetheart?
You're gonna hang out with Jo for a bit until I get finished.
I could just hide in the van.
She's just messing. Right, I'm already late. I'll see you.
Right, so. How do you feel about some work experience, huh?
(NEIL) You found us.
Where did you get my phone? Off the table.
I saw the messages they sent you. You can't keep doing this to us.
I told you I'd go. I didn't need a minder.
I wasn't. I was trying to make sure you got there on time.
Speaking of which, we should be going now.
Did you tell them I tried to do a legger? No.
Hang on a minute. Where were you going?
I hadn't decided yet. But I'm sick of being treated like a child.
We just want to make sure you make it to your appointment.
They're won't throw me in the madhouse for being late.
Take it easy. If we leave now, you'll be fine.
I'm not going with you.
But if it'll keep you happy, I'll go with Doug.
He's the only one who has any faith in me.
I've torn my whole room apart. It has to be here.
Are you OK? I think I left my study notes here.
Have you seen them? Like she'd care.
Of course I'd care. She's my friend.
Who you're trying push drugs on. Will you quit calling them that?
Stop fighting and help me look. Everything is in that folder.
Study-plan, flashcards. The whole lot.
No point asking her. She doesn't know what study notes look like.
Yeah, you're right. They can't be here.
I already cleaned the whole place. Are you sure?
Positive. But if you're stuck,
I might have something to help you remember what you learned.
She doesn't want to do an exam off her face. It's not like that.
What is it like? They help you concentrate. That's all.
I just need to concentrate on finding my notes.
I can't help you there, but the offer's open.
I can't. But if you find the notes...
Yeah. I'll give you a call.
I didn't say anything about you doing a runner.
I believe you. Alright. Come on, we need to go.
But you were talking about me, weren't you?
Neil.
Alright, yeah, I was. Only because I care about you.
People worry about stuff causing problems.
Think how much nicer the world would be
if everyone stopped stressing.
So, what? You are stressed?
Do you know what we should do now? Something fun.
How much do you reckon sky diving costs?
Neil, I don't think that's the answer.
You're so easy to wind up. Come on. Wait. Come here.
If you really aren't feeling well, you will tell me, yeah?
Yeah.
If this is what it takes to prove everyone wrong, then let's do it.
It's not about being wrong or right. We just want you to be well.
Let's go, then. I think you're more nervous than me.
Look, it just wouldn't work.
You think I'd get in the way? Be a liability?
Alright, use your head. How do you know you won't slow us down?
It's great that you want to help out a friend,
but your future isn't in lifting furniture out of a pub
or doing making fast getaways.
I want to be there. Look, it's not gonna happen, man.
You've enough to be getting on with here.
Like what? Sean does everything. I can't even set up without him.
Alright. How do you plan to empty Mick's pub?
Hmm? If you want to help him out, offer him some moral support.
Great. Nothing but a mascot.
How's my favourite lady? I didn't think you knew any ladies.
You think they were all mots until you came along?
How is he? Besides the obvious?
Isn't it lucky he has you to take it out on?
Come on.
Look, you've loads here. I'm sure you've more on your laptop.
I hand-wrote most of it. It helps me remember better.
Does that work?
You want to give yourself a break from that.
I'm having a nightmare. She lost her study notes.
Don't lose the head.
When's the last time you saw them? The Community Centre.
But we've already looked there.
I've got to go to a meeting now, but when I'm done,
I'll give you a hand to look for them.
They couldn't be anywhere but the Community Centre.
Charlotte would have seen them.
She wouldn't take them for a laugh, would she?
And risk upsetting potential customers?
Say what? Nothing. It's just her new business.
What kind of business? I don't know much about it.
Anyway, I thought you were in a rush. Yeah. Yeah, I am.
Relax, will you? It's probably somewhere obvious.
See you in a minute.
She wouldn't. You know she would.
OK. I'm going to search everywhere again before I go accusing her.
Alright? Well?
There's nothing wrong with my head. I got the all clear.
He was delighted when we came out. What exactly did the doctor say?
What about doctor/patient confidentiality?
We trusted you to go. Give us a bit of credit here.
Are you ever sad, Da? What?
Do you ever have dark thoughts?
On a scale of one to five,
how much have you thought about sex recently?
OK. You've made your point.
I went through an hour of those kinds of personal questions for you.
Alright. And?
I have above-average intelligence, but beyond that, I'm fine.
It's true.
Will we go next door and do these designs?
Yeah. We're getting matching tattoos.
Neil's drawing them first. Tattoos?
Yeah. Probably on our arms.
Why did Doug let him go in on his own?
You know how persuasive Neil can be.
Forget about bloody confidentiality.
We're gonna find out exactly what happened in there.
If you keep mixing those up, it's going to take twice as long.
I'm hungry.
Then you should have ate the sandwich I made you.
Dad was gonna get me a takeaway. Well, Dad's not here, is he?
Sorry, where are you going? To see what else you've got.
Tell you what, you finish this
and then I will go and see what else you might like.
You don't know what I like.
Juliet, these are the VAT. I want you to add them up.
You might as well learn something. Seriously, Jo?
It's Mrs Fahey to you. Everyone calls you Jo.
Yes, and I will let you know when you can do the same.
Dad said if I want to be treated like a grown up,
I have to act like one.
Yes. That's actually very good advice.
Now sit down, please, and finish what you started.
(SIGHS)
Listen, thanks very much for that. Be in contact soon.
Thanks very much. See you.
Aha! Keep up the good work.
It's all good experience for that new business of yours.
Yeah, I'm learning loads wiping this counter.
I'm not saying I'm not grateful. We all had to start somewhere.
I mean, Paul Brennan there, he didn't start out rich.
No? No. Odd jobs, DJing.
If there was money to be made, Paul Brennan would roll up his sleeves.
You could learn a lot from him.
You didn't see a folder lying around here, did you?
I know what you're looking for. Do you have it?
Yeah, I found it. Didn't want to interrupt your meeting.
Just hang on. Nice one.
It's a bit messy. It was behind the bin.
As long as she can read it, that's all that matters.
Is she OK? She seems a bit stressed out about her exams.
She'll get there. I wish I was as clever as her.
I've just got to get stuck in and work my way up.
Nothing wrong with that.
By the way, I heard all about your little business.
Rachel says you're quite the entrepreneur.
Really?
Listen to me, Charlotte. Exams aren't for everyone.
But think about a night class or something.
Learn more about business plans, accounts, that kind of thing.
Hey, I owe you one for this. I'm glad to help.
Thanks for the advice, Mr Brennan. I'll definitely take it on board.
You said "a few deliveries". They gave me the wrong address.
Oh, hi, Dad. Hey. What did you get up to?
Jo taught me all about organising receipts.
And you helped? Everybody's a winner.
And we had a little chat about manners.
She's great, isn't she? We're like mates.
That's not really how parenting works.
No. Sometimes we have to put the foot down.
Oh, yeah. You're absolutely right. I should do that more.
Right, sweetheart. Come on. Let's go. We'll get that takeaway.
Thanks again, Jo. Bye, darling.
Thanks again? You never thanked me in the first place, Mondo.
See you later.
Can you book Jackie another appointment in a month's time? Sure.
There's something else I want to ask you before I go. Sure.
Neil said he got the all-clear at the appointment today.
He said the specialist didn't diagnose him with anything.
No, he wouldn't. Not on the first visit.
He'd do some tests, maybe put him on some trial medication
and then make a formal diagnosis after that.
He didn't even mention medication. Just "all clear".
Jackie... He's lying. He has to be.
That's not a judgement call I can make.
You know it doesn't sound right. It's unusual.
Can't you do something? Only if he comes to see me.
And says that you come too.
What if he hurts himself? Or someone else?
I know how worrying this must be. Then please help us.
I'll keep an eye on things, alright?
If he comes to see me, I'll encourage him to bring you along.
That's all I can do.
OK.
Hey.
Do you want a hand? No.
We're heading into town. Do you want to come? No.
Alright. I'm gonna ring one of the lads to pick us up.
Go on. I will.
As soon as you let me help you. I can do it.
I know, but I can do it quicker.
You're in on the job. But don't hold me back.
I won't. And I'm not just a mascot.
I know. I don't need one of them.
I do need a lookout. I can do more than that.
There's a mate of mine sorted. That's enough hands.
Keeping sketch is just as important if we're gonna pull this off.
You can hide in plain sight. Just pretend you're stuck on the curb.
Hey. Jackie's cooking something special
to, you know, clear the air after today.
We were gonna go out.
Yeah. To celebrate my clean bill of health.
You could go after. She's not gonna be offended, is she?
No. I just thought it would be nice.
We'll stick to our own plans.
Yeah, well, I can ask her to put it on hold
and we could join you for one in McCoys.
What about Dolores? Yeah. We'll be grand, Da.
You should be home with her, not minding me.
Yeah. Of course. Alright. Enjoy yourselves.
See you later.
You know what? I should have got a certificate that says "not nuts".
They could have framed it and put it up on the wall.
You can't blame them for being worried.
They can sleep easy now.
Did the doctor not tell you what the TV thing was about, no?
There's a difference between being an eejit and being bipolar.
I'm impulsive. You know that.
What do you think of that?
Back of the hands, up the elbow.
When we shake hands it'll be like two comets colliding.
What? I thought you only said that to annoy Da, you mad thing.
I was only going along with you. I know, but then I was thinking.
It would be kind of deadly.
What's this? It doesn't have to be stars.
It could be gin and tonic or strawberries and cream.
No. On this side. Why have you got a prescription?
So, how strict was Jo? You saw her face when you got there.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
If I could've got back sooner, I would have.
I couldn't let the clients down. She made me work.
Yeah, well, she's old fashioned.
She thinks kids should be afraid of their parents.
I think we should be pals. You're a way better dad.
And so much cooler than Mum's boyfriend.
He's all, "Do this, clean that, pick up your stuff."
Yeah, well, I like to lead by example.
Dad? Yeah?
There's this game I want to get, but you have to buy the app.
Do you think you can charm me that easily?
No. But I reckon you could make up for leaving me all day.
Go on. Get me my phone.
What? She was sad, now she's happy. Textbook parenting.
You bought her love.
Look at Charlotte. I was strict with her.
Now she has a job and she's making money on the side.
Yeah, and it's all down to you. Look, I'm just saying.
Sometimes kids need a parent, or a big brother in this case,
more than they need a pal.
The doctor just wants to tick me off his list and get his 50 euro.
Plus they get commission.
The drug companies have them in their pocket.
Neil, stop trying to throw me off.
Tell me exactly what that doctor said, now.
Do you want me to get Jackie? You wouldn't.
It's too early to say for certain.
The doctor thinks my other doctor might be right
about me being bipolar.
I couldn't say it to them because they'd freak out.
Neil, I'm on your side here.
He's not even sure. He wants me to neck a bunch of pills to find out.
So why don't you? Do you like me?
Me being here. Do you like it? You're my brother.
But if I took that stuff, I'd disappear.
You'd run away again?
No, I'd be here, but my mind wouldn't.
My personality. My sense of humour. Gone.
You need to find out what's wrong with you.
I'll make a deal with you. If I feel weird, I'll try them.
Really? Sure.
Swear? If I need them, I'll take them.
Come here.
I'm not lying to you.
(SNIFFS)
Man, you stink.
Go and have a shower so we can go on the lash.
