So, are you all set for the scan?
Damien hasn't even said yet if he's coming.
He will.
Look... they get nervous, they're men. Wayne did.
It's normal, don't worry.
Hiya. Hey.
Listen, er, I've a few jobs over at The Station,
so I won't keep Dan waiting.
The scan's at one.
Yeah, well, I'm sure Damien doesn't need reminding.
No, I don't, Orla. Right.
I'll just go make us a cup of tea.
Whatever it is, don't take it out on Orla.
She shouldn't even know.
She's showing an interest. I'll see you later.
You do want to be there? Of course I do.
This is all new to me.
It's new to me, too. And... I'm terrified.
Look, I'm sure Damien will be there. OK?
Look, how about I go with you?
And if I'm in your way, you can just tell me to get lost.
Alright?
I'll get you that cup of tea.
(NEIL) The coffee in here is brutal.
Come back to mine, I'll make you the best you've ever tasted.
Doug, explain what "leave me alone" means.
I've a better idea. I'll do you the full breakfast.
Let me guess, a four-course one? The works.
He is a decent chef, I suppose.
Yeah? You eat it. Get him to play you some music while you're at it.
OK, I lost the plot. I just wanted everything to be perfect.
Epic fail.
I don't usually fall for women the way I have for you.
You don't even know me. Get lost.
Crash and burn, bro. Losing the old touch there, are you?
The last thing she wants me to do is give up on her.
I might try superfood smoothies.
Anybody that uses a gym will go mad for them.
I do and I wouldn't.
It's a tapas bar, not a health food shop.
People come for my food and your... smile?
I'm not even going to answer that.
Hey. Hi.
Listen, I'm definitely interested in looking at your spare room.
Sorry, it's not available any more.
Yvonne rang and said that, you know, she might be back for a bit, so.
Fair enough. Rejection is turning into my theme for the week.
Sorry. No worries.
See ya. See ya.
If you're going to lie, at least make it a good one.
Laura doesn't want her in her face.
Look, Louise, Vinos isn't broke, so don't try and fix it.
There's plenty of places around have got ideas
and end up with shutters on the doors. We're doing alright.
We? We're a team.
Remember I'm the captain.
I was hoping we could have a word. I've nothing to talk about.
I know you're annoyed, but it'll only take a minute.
Can you tell me what happened with you?
Your son never told me he was a head-the-ball, that's what.
First he's all over me, then he's more interested in his music.
It was like I wasn't even there. Now he's stalking me.
Can you keep up? Because I can't.
He can get a bit hyper. The word is mentaller.
Shouldn't be let out without a health warning.
Could you try and be a bit more understanding?
I'm right.
I should've copped. What's wrong with him?
He's bipolar.
But he's having treatment. Yeah. It's not working.
Do you know what?
Why don't you just keep your ignorant opinions to yourself?
He doesn't deserve to put up with that.
Don't worry, I'll be crossing the street when I see Neil.
Let him down gently. Please.
It just won't balance. The same one worked out perfectly yesterday.
Have a coffee. You're just tired.
I'm studying too hard.
Law of diminishing returns.
How long are you gonna stay at it? As long as it takes.
Can you stop interrupting? I'm losing track.
What time did you go to sleep at last night?
Three. (SCOFFS)
Unlike you, I have to work.
We can't all be Super Katy.
The one that came out, moved out and got not one, but two jobs.
Now you're flying your exams.
Well done, you.
Do you ever get fed up being perfect?
Study on your own from now on. Hiyas.
Pizza for the workers.
I'm gonna call it a day.
Rachel should to.
See ya. See ya.
Listen, love, er... you keep at it, yeah?
Good girl.
Hey. Hey.
Do you ever wish you could wave a wand and change your life?
Oh, yeah.
Maybe I should start buying lottery tickets.
I'm tired of the same thing day in, day out.
Oh, I have a bag of things that I'm not going to wear again.
I can drop them in to you. Please do.
OK.
You know, we went out for drinks,
all she could talk about was her career.
Yeah, she came back to me about the room, but I shut her down.
Good. It was one more kick.
She is upset about not getting the job.
She'll get over it. She never mentioned planning a move to London.
The first I heard about it was the interview.
You two need a sit down.
Hey.
One door closes. Did you get another job?
A place to stay. First refusal on an apartment near Heuston.
Rent very negotiable.
Oh. Best of luck. Thanks.
See ya. See ya. See ya.
Listen, I'm trying to put some shape on my weekend.
What's the story about this wedding? I'm going.
Is my invitation still open? If you don't have another interview.
(PHONE RINGS)
It's Damien.
It's like walking on eggshells around him and Caoimhe right now.
Damien. Look, can you do me a favour?
Can you, er, check in on Caoimhe? Tell her I might be a bit late.
You should really call her yourself. Can you just do that for me, please?
I picked up the rubbish you left behind.
Someone needs to take his batteries out.
How's it all going? Yeah, good. Shelves are up. Tiles are down.
And I'll sort the skirting in the office now. Thanks, man.
Damo.
Now, I know it's early days, but I just want to say... congratulations.
Yeah, alright. That's not the word I'd be using.
I know it takes a while to get over the shock, OK? But once you do...
Right? And sure, hey, I was that soldier, right?
So whenever you need any advice... Wayne?
..come to me. Wayne?
Can you and Orla just keep it quiet, please?
Yeah, of course we will. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
But, erm, should you not be in the hospital now, huh?
Yeah, I will be.
Yeah?
Orla sent you.
Come on. This is a good thing. Hang on, this is a great thing.
So, will I tell her you're on the way over, will I?
I will. See you later. Congrats again.
You should get Damien to touch up the paint out the front.
Or I could do it? You're not even supposed to be working today.
I'm not taking wages. This is from me to you. Call it thanks.
Just... stop buzzing around the place, OK? Calm down.
Are you on something? No.
No way. That's not my scene. Why would you think that?
Right. I'm a hard worker. That's who I am.
And I'll work even harder for you.
Soft spot for cripples, have you? No. It's cos you had faith in me.
I see you, Dan, not the chair.
That's straight up. I wouldn't spoof you.
Right, well, just take it easy, OK?
You're the boss, boss.
What time are you off at? Whenever.
Why aren't you in the garage? I'm doing Saturday instead.
Oh, so you can vegetate here, sipping coffee?
What's the story? No story. Just relaxing.
You must like watching me work.
Or maybe watching me. Did she tell you to keep an eye, is that it?
No. I don't blame you. You're no match for Jackie.
Just don't let her use you. She's not, Neil.
She'll get inside your head.
Hey. Hey.
Doug's not your spy. I know you want to keep tabs on me.
Are you sure everything's OK? I was talking to Hayley.
She's said you're annoying her.
You see? She's even having little chats with my girlfriend.
Neil, she doesn't see you as a boyfriend.
Maybe... just ease off a bit.
So Hayley doesn't get Jackie's seal of approval, is that it?
Well, you've no say.
Don't ever come in here again when I'm working.
You can get out now for a start.
Are you gonna calm down there, yeah? I'm fine. It's her. She gets to me.
Pick a key.
Come on. Time's a wasting.
This is gonna be the key to Hayley's heart.
Oh, man. Look, maybe just give Hayley time to chill, yeah?
That's your problem right there.
You always believe what your mammy tells you.
Come along. You'll see everything's cool.
I'll give you a shout when I head. You might even learn a few moves.
Now, you need to fill up. It's good for the scan.
Come on, you know the biologicals more than I do. Drink up.
Damien's not coming.
Wayne said that he would definitely be here.
Look, Damien's not gonna let you down, OK? Cos he's crazy about you.
Come on, drink.
Caoimhe, I'm ready for you now.
Erm, do you want me to, er, come in with you, or...?
The apartment's big enough for two. Maybe Laura'll go for it.
She lives a mortgage-free dream.
And her job's only two minutes away.
OK, so she'll be giving up some advantages.
But I think we're worth it.
Are you sure she's ready to move in with you?
There's only one way to find out.
Laura'll say yes.
What, have you got a crystal ball in there with your pots and pans?
She threw out her rattle out of the pram
because you wouldn't go to a wedding with her. Just join the dots.
I'm sure you're gonna do it for me. Now he's a relationship expert.
She wanted to show you off.
You sound like a Sunday supplement. And that is not a good thing.
I've gotta go. I'll see ya.
See ya. See ya. Bye.
So, Laura freaked out at the idea of Nina living in the same postal code,
but, hey, let's get cosy in our own apartment?
Look, you don't get to score as often as I do
without being able to read some signals.
Perhaps your signal reading is the reason that you haven't
had a girlfriend in quite a while. I'm saving myself for you, Louise.
Dream on. Not so successful yourself.
Everything's looking fine. The placenta's lying normally.
I can't believe this is happening.
It'll be, er, like 20 weeks or so
rill you can tell if it's a girl or a boy?
There or thereabouts. Would you like to know?
I don't know.
Up until a few days ago, this was just...
Children were just something that might happen.
I don't know, sometime, someday in the future.
Now I'm making plans.
You'll be able to clearly see your baby in the next scan.
Someone's growing inside me.
It's real.
Right, go on in. You might just make it.
Er, where is she? She's in there.
Right. How is she? Is she... Is she disappointed?
Damien, just go in and hold her hand, will you? OK?
Remember... it's your baby, too.
Alright? Go on.
So I'll take the supplements,
but, erm, are there specific foods I should be eating for folic acid?
A well balanced diet is all you need. Try to cut out fast food.
Plenty of fish? Never any harm. No raw shellfish.
Oh, no pate, no unpasteurised cheese.
I used to hand out the dietary advice sheets.
And now it's your turn for some information leaflets.
Yeah. Thank you.
Listen, I'm... I'm really sorry.
Hi. Can I have a takeaway cheeseburger, please?
Coming right up. Thanks.
Good luck with English.
What do you want, you pill pusher?
They're not real. Just vitamins.
That's not the point. You're acting like a drug dealer.
I'm making a few lousy quid. We're not all little rich kids.
I'm probably not even breaking any law.
You stop selling in the centre, or I'll drag you from it by the hair.
Have you got that, you skanger?
That girl is wired.
Yeah, well, if she doesn't, Ciara will,
when she realises you're treating her like a clown.
Tying Dan to a chair is like locking him in prison.
I doubt he'll get used to it, now. A man like that shouldn't have to.
She's shooting you pure daggers.
Oh, ye of little faith. (SIGHS)
I remember I put a clove of garlic into a ringbox for Ama once.
I'm nearly afraid to ask.
Ah... I was asking her to Paris.
Garlic. France. I thought you'd get it.
Yeah, watch and learn.
What's that supposed to be? Whatever you want. Open it.
If you don't like it, I'm gone. I don't like it.
A key.
As it happens, a key to my place.
Why would I ever want that?
It's just a key. It could easily have been the key to my bike lock.
Doug chose it.
You should have more cop, egging him on. Get him away.
Look, it means something.
What I'm trying to say is, you make me want to open my heart to you.
And I'd love it if you opened yours to me.
Look... we had a bit of fun, that's it.
I like you, Neil, but... that's as far as this goes.
Can I have my key back? I don't want to be locked out.
I'd be better without an audience. Will you meet me later?
I know about your problem. There's no problem here.
Nothing to see. Get yourself sorted.
Then find yourself another girl.
Jackie put the bad word in her ear. Ah, you tried, it didn't work.
She's into me, man, I'm telling you.
This looks brand new.
It is. I don't know what I was thinking.
I think it'd suit you.
You're supposed to be talking me into donating.
Hi. Hey. Hey.
Do you fancy meeting up later? Sure.
I'll call for you around eight? See you then.
I have something to put to you. Not a word, you.
What don't I know? I'm sworn to secrecy.
I don't like these games. Oh, chill out, would you?
You've got everything going for you.
You've no mortgage, you run the show here, you've a decent partner.
Do you want to swap it for my life?
It's just one of them days. Louise?
Nina and you, I'd hate to see it mucked up over a misunderstanding.
I'll see ya. See ya.
I've only a few more and then I'm finished permanently.
Not good enough. I won't do it in the centre.
Hi, girls? Hi, Mister Doyle.
Whatever is going on with you, stop taking it out on me.
You know how long it took me to find that job.
You better not be lying.
Hey, Granddad. Hiya, love.
Hey. Those things are poisoned with caffeine.
It's just a drink.
Yeah. Why don't you try some warm milk with some cinnamon?
That was Rita's trick with your ma when she was doing her exams.
You're a bag of nerves. I'm not nervous.
Are you getting enough sleep?
Cos they say if you lose a night's sleep, your IQ goes way down.
What's up?
Oh. Nothing. Er, could we talk about something else?
I'm trying my best here. Or could we just not talk at all?
Whatever you want.
(DOUG) You still shouldn't have told Hayley.
I needed to explain his behaviour,
so she wouldn't lose her temper with him.
How did it go? Look, this isn't on, Ma.
I'm not spying on Neil for you. Doug, you're helping your brother.
She gave him the boot.
But not in a bad way. It was more of a "goodbye, nice knowing you".
But he thinks she wants him to keep trying.
Well, talk him out of it. He's put up a wall with me.
Are yous having a good conversation about me?
Yeah, I'm concerned about you and Hayley.
You're annoying her.
Ah, she had her chance, she blew it.
She's at home, nursing a broken heart.
Maybe you're better concentrating on yourself for a while.
Grub's up.
So, er... you're finished with Hayley then, yeah?
That's a good move, bro.
You shouldn't be talking about my private life with her.
You let me down, bro. I thought you had my back.
I do, man.
There's two sides, Doug, mine or Jackie's.
You can't be on both.
So what's it gonna be, man?
It shouldn't take so long. Is she up there pulling strings?
Me or her?
You know I'm on your side. Good man.
I should've had more cop on about the wedding invitation.
That's not why I was annoyed. Let me finish. I get it.
It's like making a public announcement
you're in a relationship.
It's dinner, a few drinks, some dancing.
Don't over-analyse it. God, you don't make this easy.
Look, here's the score. I've been burned in a few relationships,
so I'm not great at this whole commitment thing.
But I really care about you, Laura.
Me too.
Let's get that drink. In for a penny.
How's this for a leap of commitment?
Let's you and me get an apartment together.
That's what I wanted to ask you.
You know, Damien and Caoimhe get their space, we get ours.
What do you say?
Don't leave me hanging.
Can I think about it? If you have to.
You alright?
Don't forget your meds.
I'm only reminding you.
No need. I already did. When?
What is this?
I'm worried about how you're acting.
What am I doing wrong? Tell me. How should I be acting?
Three tablets a day.
There's only one of these gone since yesterday. I counted.
All you had to do was ask, not sneak around checking up on me.
You just lied to my face. I didn't, Doug. Man, I wouldn't.
That's all hit and miss stuff anyway, experimentation.
Man, they prescribed way too much for me.
Three a day? Any more, I'd be like your man from
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
I'd be zonked.
(CHUCKLES)
One keeps me level. Look, you can't decide that, man.
Yeah, which is why I'm making appointments for more tests.
If they say I need more, then more it is.
Make sure you go.
Yeah, well, you owe me when I'm proved right.
Doug, the medical industry isn't about curing people,
it's about selling drugs.
They want to get inside your head, control you.
It's the same thing with Dan.
They've decided he'll never walk again and they'll keep saying it
until he ends up believing it. Cos it's true.
Maybe. No! No maybe, Neil.
There is no maybe there. Well, he's given up trying.
A key in a ring box was a dumb idea. Nearly as bad as garlic.
Hayley needs something big to impress her.
I thought you said you were done with her?
I'm only getting started.
As soon as I heard the heartbeat, I knew.
It puts everything in perspective.
It's... The future isn't only about you any more.
That's true.
Where's Damien gonna fit in?
All those times you've gone on about how much you love Caoimhe,
that means nothing unless you step up now.
I'm an idiot for not going with her today.
You're frightened. That's allowed.
Just explain that to her.
If Damien was five minutes earlier, there wouldn't be an issue.
Why don't you blame Dublin traffic, and not him? He did show up.
Yeah, only because he felt guilty.
OK, er, we better get going. Yeah, yeah, we'll head, yeah.
Erm, I'll talk to you... Thank you.
No problem. See you, Damien. Alright, lads, yeah.
Bye. See yous. Thanks again.
I love you.
Right? And I wish that I'd been able to be there today.
But you weren't.
This has all just happened to us, you know? Just... just now.
I'm having this baby.
Will you be at the next scan?
I can't.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I can't. I'm not ready to be a father, Caoimhe. It's...
So where does that leave us?
Because I'm going to be a mother.
I'll support you financially, and any other way I can.
Until the baby comes along?
Is that when you, erm... you dump me because you're not ready?
I don't know. Because I'm trying to figure this out right now.
Yeah, well, you don't need to do your duty.
I want to. You just need to tell me what to do.
Me and my baby, we'll manage on our own.
