"May you find love and happiness on your special day."
That's from Charlie.
Aww. Tell him thanks. All of them.
Well, they all wish they could be here for it.
Yeah. I've had so many good people in my life.
Ah, come on. Stop thinking like that.
Especially today.
Wayne, will you give me away?
Ma...
Even if you have to push me up the aisle.
Yeah, I'd be honoured to.
Look at me. I'm a mess already.
You just need to hold it together.
I can't even watch sick people on the telly without breaking down.
Yeah, well, love, Dolores is counting on you.
Yeah, you're right. I'm going to do the best job I can.
That's my girl. Thank you.
Oh, and thanks for letting me stay last night. It really helped.
That's what I'm here for.
Now... Great, thanks.
There you go. OK, I better go.
I'll see you later, OK? Have a good day, alright?
See you later.
Hey, man.
Why didn't you say something?
How insensitive do you think I am? She's got a rough day ahead.
We're all having a rough day.
The next time you have a few drinks, please leave Tommy Dillon out of it.
And you don't go stringing Kerri-Ann along
unless you're gonna move in with her. No, look, just not now.
Right? Now it's great. Now it's fun.
There's no 20-minute queue for the bathroom in the morning.
You're good. Her moving in now could ruin something special.
Maybe that's something she should figure out for herself.
Bad idea. Just be straight with her.
Huh. See ya.
Well, did you enjoy that scone, Bela? Yeah, not bad.
High praise.
Annetta's just after phoning in sick.
Well, she can be a bit delicate.
Particularly on her boyfriend's day off.
What am I going to do? I have that portfolio shoot at 2:00.
I'll, er... I'll manage here. Not at lunchtime.
Maybe I should ring them and try and reschedule.
You don't want to cause a hassle before you're even in the door.
He's right.
I don't suppose you could cover? Me? (LAUGHS) I'm too rusty.
It'll only be for an hour or two.
And Dean, you'd help out, wouldn't you?
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we'd manage.
Alright, go on, then. You don't want to miss your big chance.
Thank you, Da. I owe you. OK, I will be back as soon as I can.
(SIGHS)
Right. You better get me an apron.
I thought you'd still be in bed.
No, Dad's paying me to tidy out the office.
Oh. Well, it's good to see you getting over the exams.
Yeah, well, they're not everything. No, I know, love. Of course not.
Hey. Hi.
It's Pete. I was passing on my best to Dolores.
I was talking to him earlier.
Anyway, look, er, you're good to go. And your keys are in the ignition.
And nothing else turned up? No, I don't think so.
I got Ray to check the wiring,
in case there was any loose connections, but it's all good.
Thanks. So, how much do I owe you? Ah, nothing.
Ah, Paul, come on. Just put a sticky note in your car.
I forgot to turn off the interior light. Again.
So that's all it was? Mm.
(PHONE RINGS) I gotta take this.
I'll see you at the dinner later? Yeah.
I'll buy you a drink. Actually, several.
Don't worry about it. Hiya.
You don't have to try so hard. I'm sorry?
People are talking about the two of you.
I... I do hope you're joking.
Saying you're trying to get back with him.
He fixed my car, Rachel. That's all.
Yeah, well, maybe you're sending off the wrong vibes.
Right, OK. Thank you very much,
but I don't need you talking to me like this.
Just thought you'd want to know.
Here are the rings. Don't lose them. I won't.
Neil, are you reading the poem? I am.
Will you put your best into it? Cos it's her favourite. Alright.
OK. OK. All done.
All set? Yeah.
How is she?
She's good. We're just getting her dressed now.
See yous in a mo. Bye. See yous in a bit.
Hey, how about we get you a cup of tea, Da?
No, no. I still have to write a speech.
We'll help you, so. No, it has to be from me.
I don't even know what I'm going to put in it.
Just relax.
No, it has to be right for her.
Bloody damn pen doesn't even work.
Sit down for a minute, will you? No, no. I'm fine, I'm fine.
Come on. It's hardly the wedding you were hoping for now, is it?
No, no, it's not.
You know, we made an awful lot of plans.
I know it's not fair, but you know what? You love her.
Some people go their whole lives without ever finding that.
That's true.
But today, you get to make it official. It's a good day, Da.
Thanks, son.
(DAMIEN) Hey, Wayne.
Look, I'm sorry, I'm running late.
Will you tell Dolores that we were thinking of her?
Yeah, of course I will.
Yeah, you know, I'd love to be there today, but...
Yeah.
Well, we would have invited you, but the hospital said family only.
Sure, yeah.
Damien's been filling me in. Will you... give her my best?
Yeah, sure.
Right, we better get a table. I'll follow yous over in a sec.
Are you best pals now, are you? He's Caoimhe's da. That's all it is.
And that's why you're defending him here last night
against everybody? I heard.
He was being abused. It wasn't on, man, you know?
Mm.
Well, you'd better get going. They're waiting on you.
Look, Wayne, er...
What your ma's going through... and the rest of yous, you know...
If you need anything, just... give me a shout, won't you?
Yeah. We can manage. Alright?
I was hoping I'd catch you before you left. For Dolores.
Why is he still coming into the pub? It's trickier than we thought.
Yeah? And why am I the only one dealing with this?
In case you haven't noticed, my ma's in ICU.
Go. Leave Tommy to us, OK?
And... done. Ta-da!
You look beautiful.
Now... something borrowed.
Oh.
Are you OK? Is this too much?
Thank you. Both of you.
Let's have a drink. That'll cheer us up.
Kerri-Ann.
Oh, it's OK. I smuggled it in.
Thank you.
Oh. Maybe it's a bad idea. I'm sorry, I didn't think.
No, no, go on. Break it open. We're celebrating.
Exactly.
Now...
Ooh. Ooh.
(CHUCKLES)
There you go, Kerri-Ann. Thank you.
Pete's a lucky man today.
I'm the lucky one.
Now... a toast.
To the bride.
To Dolores. To Dolores.
Cheers. Yeah.
What was wrong with the car anyway? A flat battery.
Do you think Niamh was putting it on?
She pitched up to the garage all dressed up. Ugh.
Maybe your parents are right, she is trying to get back with my dad.
Yeah, but he wouldn't touch her anyway.
But that's not the point.
They messed us up so much first time round. Imagine they had a second go?
Why can't they just get over themselves? It's all about them.
And now the family dinner tonight.
Look, I've one, as well. Only, yours will be more exciting.
Yeah, watching Niamh try to get it on with my dad?
You could sell tickets. Hey, girls.
What's that?
Er, it's just a dress for tonight.
It's just an old one. I just brought it to the dry cleaners.
I was just thinking, seeing as both families are out for meals tonight,
why don't we all eat together?
Oh, I'm sure Katy's parents don't want to get lumbered with us.
Er... they'll just go along with whatever I want.
So can we? It'd be more fun than just you, me and Dad.
Yeah! Sure... if that's what you want, yeah.
Great. See you, then.
Cool. See you later. Bye. See ya.
Any chance of a bit of cutlery? Yeah. Thanks.
I never remember things being this busy, you know?
Why don't you take table four's order,
and I'll look after the till, how about that? Yeah, OK.
Cheers, man. Come here, how did you get lumped with him?
He's doing his best.
Well, if it isn't the fastest gun in the west.
Guys, sorry about last night.
But, er, there's not going to be any trouble in here today.
Tell him that, not me.
I'm just in for change, if you can spare it.
Give me a second.
So, no Damien to hide behind today?
You always were a bit of a coward.
You can think whatever you like, Bob.
If you'd any decency,
you'd crawl back to whatever hay loft you came from.
Why can't you just leave him alone, Bob?
What's got into you? Remembering all the good times?
No. I just don't go in for public lynchings.
Since when?
You're welcome to come back to McCoy's if you like.
No, thanks. Just don't mind him.
I'm not.
This is pointless. He'll never fall for it.
It's just going to take time.
It's like he's laughing at us.
Thank you.
Oh. How are you?
How was Dolores?
Too soon. I'm sorry.
Come here, er, Dean, can we get a cup of tea over here? Yeah.
Thanks.
(SIGHS) It just makes you so glad for what you have.
Yeah.
Is everything alright? You seem a bit off.
Oh. I'm just... I'm just tired. Just... insomnia, you know?
I didn't hear you stir.
I wasn't snoring, was I? No, no, it's... it's me.
See, I can be going round pacing during the night.
You can ask Mondo. He says I'm the worst he's ever lived with.
Well, take it from me. Compared to him, you're a dream.
No, believe me, I have my quirks. And not all of them are pleasant.
No. No, don't tell me. I want to find out for myself.
See? You've already cheered me up.
Alright? Yeah.
OK, er, they're bringing her down now.
OK, great. Right.
Are you ready? Er, yes. Yes, yes.
Good.
Good luck.
Thanks, Wayne.
Yeah. I know you're making my ma very happy today.
Well, that's all I wanted, you know. Yeah.
Damien.
Hiya.
Er, I know it's family only, but... Dolores was like a mother to me.
Yeah, we know she was.
And no matter what you think, I'm gonna be there for her.
You know? And you.
We know that. Don't we, love? Yeah. Thanks for coming, mate.
Wanna sit down? Yeah.
Hey, Damien. Thanks very much. Yeah. Good luck.
Thank you.
You alright? Yeah.
Thanks, love.
It's lovely. You look beautiful, you know that?
If you'd all like to take a seat.
You're very welcome, Dolores. And Pete.
It's great to see you have all your family around you here today.
You asked if I would pray with you before you take your civil vows.
It's been a long road for you both here today.
So let's begin by thanking God for the love you have for each other.
And asking Him to give you the strength and the courage
for the days that lie ahead.
And now I'd like to ask Neil to read a poem,
especially chosen by Dolores.
Stop.
Are you OK? Do you want me to get the nurse?
No. What's wrong, then?
I'm sorry.
I can't go through with this.
Please. Can you just ask people to go?
You tell me.
I'm sorry.
Look, I thought I wanted this. But I don't.
Ma.
I just want to be on my own. Please, Wayne.
Erm, could everybody just wait outside? If that's OK.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Oh, there's no need to be.
It's just... the whole thing.
The flowers. And Pete's face.
I feel I'm at my own funeral.
Why didn't you check with us first? Cos I didn't think you'd mind.
After everything's that's gone on? Alright?
Rachel invited us to dinner with the Brennans tonight,
and herself here said yes.
What makes you think we want to eat with them? Go back and say no.
She's had a tough year.
We all know who we can blame for that.
It's not just about the separation. (SIGHS)
I can't let her down.
Oh, go on, then. But we're not staying late.
Yeah, and the bill goes 50-50.
I don't want Paul thinking he can splash his cash around the place.
You should be so lucky. See you later.
Bye.
I've cancelled the Registrar.
I warned you. I told you, but you wouldn't listen to anybody.
Wayne. Well, I listened to Dolores.
Or does she not have a voice in any of this any more?
She's facing that biopsy tomorrow,
and if you've made things worse for her...
How could things be any worse?
OK, I think we should go.
You have no idea how much I've protected you
from what she was going through.
And who told you to do that? Wayne. Huh?
Hey.
How are you, Ma? Are you alright?
Yeah? I need some time with Pete.
Yeah, we'll... we'll go.
I'll drop by later. See how you're doing.
Thanks.
What happened?
I was so worried about leaving you behind.
We waited so long, I wanted you to have this.
So this wedding was for me?
I thought I wanted it, too.
I don't care if we never get married.
All I want is you, here with me.
Well, then let's fight this.
With everything we've got.
I'll head on. I'm only in your way.
Well, why don't you head back to the house?
I'll be finished here in a bit.
I might go for a walk. Don't want to cramp Laura's style.
Just ignore her.
It's fine.
Why did you stick up for me today?
Bob can be a jerk, that's all.
You haven't exactly been welcoming yourself.
Yeah, well, when you see what's going on with Dolores...
Life's short, you know?
Do you want to join?
No, thanks. I'm heading on. I was just talking to Caoimhe.
OK. I'm sure she's glad to have you back.
I hope so.
I don't know if you heard, but Callum's moved on.
Oh.
Safe to say I didn't handle things very well.
Yeah. It'd be nice if we could just rewind, do things again.
Knowing me, I'd probably make bigger mistakes.
Well, you couldn't do any worse than me.
You weren't well, Tommy.
Anyway, I'm glad we spoke.
Yeah, me too.
I'll head on. OK. Mind yourself.
Thank you.
So, what's this about?
Tommy Dillon. The man who shot me, remember?
Have a seat. I don't want a seat.
I want to know why I wasn't told he was being released.
That's a matter for the prison service.
Oh, so you had no clue he was going to be walking amongst us again?
Sometimes a victim will be informed as a courtesy.
But there's no onus. A courtesy?
So that's all we're worth?
I do appreciate how you feel. You've no idea.
He was in my restaurant.
A man with a history of mental illness and violence against me.
He's done his time.
And what's going to happen when he attacks somebody else?
Why would you think he'd do that?
Well, It's obvious, isn't it? He won't be able to help himself.
I suppose then you'll send him back to the hospital.
He wouldn't go back to hospital.
Breaking the conditions of his probation?
If he gets charged with another crime and there are objections to bail,
then he's straight back to prison.
That's great. Thank you very much.
I thought that was an old dress? Yeah. It is, yeah.
Yeah, it's nice. Oh, thank you.
Brace yourselves.
Fantastic night of Eoghan and his stories. behave yourselves.
Hey. How are yous. How are you? Hey.
Thanks for inviting us.
It's a nice, isn't it? All of us together.
So, your car running well again?
Yeah. Yeah, thank you. Great.
Here, let me get you a drink.
Yeah. I tell you, I could do with one after the day I've had.
Oh. Brilliant. A story.
Yeah, there was a guy on the M4... Later, yeah?
OK. Right, will we, erm, have a toast?
Why stop at one? (LAUGHTER)
Right, well, to, er... to Katy and Rachel. Well done, both of you.
It was a hard slog, but yous got there.
Yeah. Although, it helps when you have the brains.
Our Katy, real knack for the old chemistry, you know?
Da. Don't start.
What?
Rachel's, erm, strength lie in languages.
She's always loved Irish. No, I haven't.
Oh, sorry, is that not cool? Just drop it.
And Spanish. She got "A" s all the way through.
Oh. Were you counting?
Well, I think that the results will speak for themselves.
You can be sure of that. She's just being modest.
Do you want me to be straight about it?
I'm not going to come away with tonnes of points.
Come on. No more exam talk now.
We're here to enjoy ourselves, aren't we, yeah? Yeah.
Are you worried that Irish Oral didn't go as you'd planned?
None of them did because I had a complete meltdown.
Look, can we please just wait until we go home to talk about this, yeah?
She keeps going on and on about my great results.
Like the horrible year we've had didn't affect me. Rachel.
I nearly quit halfway through.
And maybe I should have, because I've probably flunked most of them.
Now, do you want to have your toast?
Jane.
Relax. All is good.
What are you talking about? I met Tommy in the Station.
And we connected. No, no. You have to stop.
It's going to work. He's not as cool as he looks.
He just needs a friend, Bob. Me.
I've had a word with John Deegan.
If Tommy is accused of anything else,
they'll send him back to prison, not the hospital.
Even better. How can that be better?
Because maybe this time they'll throw away the key.
That is not our agreement. The man had a mental breakdown.
What, are you kidding me? Suddenly you care?
I just want him where he belongs,
a mental institution where he can't do any harm.
Believe what you want. Either way, he'll be gone soon.
I won't be responsible for sending him back to prison. I will.
Rach, will you please listen?
Rachel? You cannot just announce that you were going to quit.
I think she knows that was a mistake.
A mistake?
This is your big chance, and you're telling us that you've blown it?
Yeah, and that's for me to worry about now. But why?
I was stressed. I thought I could handle it, but I couldn't.
What, and you didn't think to tell us?
Yeah, well, erm... I knew.
You what?
And what, did you just decide between the two of you to cut me out?
It wasn't like that. Paul, she's my daughter.
And I'm finding out the same time as the O'Briens?
Yeah, well, maybe you should have made it your business to find out.
That's not fair. I mightn't live here, but I'm here for you 100%.
We have to stop pretending things are like the way they were before
because they're not.
And you don't get to sit there like this is some family conference,
where we sort Rachel out.
I'm doing alright now, on my own.
Rachel...
Rachel!
Dolores?
The sooner we get the biopsy, the better.
Maybe go home, get some sleep for yourself?
Yeah, thanks.
I thought you'd gone home.
How is she?
Sit down.
Could be a long night.
