Hey, good morning. Wayne.
Well, how's she doing?
OK, well, she didn't have any reaction to the medication,
which is good.
Right. Could she still have that?
It's unlikely, but we'll do some blood tests this morning.
We'll know more then, OK?
Yeah.
That's it, is it? Just more... more tests?
Let's talk outside.
We have to prepare ourselves.
For what her wishes might be.
You... you want to discuss funeral arrangements, is it?
I'm just being practical.
Oh. What, you want to pick out a hymn, is that it?
Well, if you want to, yes.
You're unbelievable, do you know that?
Two days ago, you were running around trying to arrange a wedding.
And I told you that was a mistake.
We have to face the facts.
We? Please, Wayne...
No. I'm her family.
And I'll make the decisions.
Let's go over a few more details one last time.
I've told you everything.
Yeah, well, you see, he's made allegations against you, too.
So it's important we get all the facts exactly as they happened.
Whoa. What did he say?
That you invited him to your apartment for dinner.
Yeah, that's true.
That you then locked the door yourself
and called the guards to set him up.
What, and you believed him? Well, he was there as a guest.
Yeah, exactly. Because I thought he was better.
And he said he wanted to say sorry to me.
I'm surprised you'd want anything to do with him after what happened.
Why does everyone keep dragging that up?
So you had dinner and he flipped?
Oh, you see... I keep trying to go over all this in my head,
what I said, what he said.
Erm, he... he just started yelling suddenly,
saying that everything was my fault and that no one understands him.
(SIGHS)
I was really afraid for my life.
Look, I know this is difficult for you, but it's important OK?
So, what's going to happen? Will he be released?
(SIGHS) It depends if he's charged.
You can't do that. What if he comes after me again?
He won't be allowed anywhere near you.
And how will you stop it?
Thanks.
I, erm, I just don't want there to be any awkwardness between us.
There isn't.
Yeah, I just, I shouldn't have kissed you last night.
No. No, you shouldn't have.
Oh, would you stop? Come on, it was only a peck on the cheek.
It's no big deal. Really?
Yeah. And is that how you kiss all your other friends, then?
OK, fine. I, er, I didn't know what I was doing.
It was stupid. I'm sorry.
So, what do you want here, Niamh?
Are you hoping for something here?
I miss us. I miss what we had.
And things are so different now.
Thos last week, it's been... It's been like having my best friend back.
You want to get back together again?
Well... it wouldn't be the same as before. We're different now.
Well... what happened to wanting to find yourself
and being on your own and all that?
You know what, honestly, I don't know.
It's just, with Dolores fighting for her life,
it just makes you think about your priorities.
And... mine are still you and the kids.
You know what, Niamh, this is not really what you want.
It's not what I want.
Well... it all depends, Paul, on how you feel about me.
Well, I care about you, and I always will, but...
(SIGHS) Look, we've been finished a long time now.
And the only reason we're getting on now
is that we're not a couple any more. And you know that.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right, of course. You're right, it's just...
It's just hard being on the outside. But you're only across the road.
Yeah.
And you know what, we'll always be a family in our own way.
You mean, we're stuck with each other?
Pretty much, yeah. (PHONE RINGS)
Sorry.
Look, I better take this.
Will you hold on for a second? No, I won't. You take it.
I'll talk to you later.
You must have been terrified.
I was just shocked, more than anything. I thought he was OK now.
Well, at least he's locked up again.
You mind yourself, OK? Yeah. Thanks, Louise.
I see you haven't calmed down yet.
I'm perfectly calm, but thanks for your concern.
You cannot do this.
Do what? Tommy took me hostage, just like he did with you.
And what about Caoimhe? This effects her, too.
We were never very close.
She thought she lost her dad for good,
and now she's doing everything she can to try and make this work out.
That's very sweet, but I'm not really the sentimental type.
I don't believe that. What he just did to me was a crime, Bob.
And now he needs to pay for that.
Five minutes.
Dad, what's going on?
They said you locked Jane in her flat and threatened her.
Of course I didn't. She set me up. What?
The whole dinner was a sham.
I went to the bathroom, she locks the door and calls the guards.
What did Deegan say? I should have seen it coming.
Dad? What did Deegan say? He doesn't care. It's her word against mine.
They all think I'm unstable again.
And are you?
You don't believe me either? Great.
I'm trying to understand.
If my own daughter doesn't know when I'm telling the truth...
Dad, I do believe you. She set me up. That's it.
Any news? Erm, still the same.
I'll let you know when there is.
Oh, hi. Hey.
Er, Niamh told me Dolores is in a coma.
She's unconscious. It's not a coma. Isn't it the same thing?
They're a little bit different. Poor Dolores.
Yeah, well, they're keeping a really close eye on her.
You OK?
She's in intensive care.
What if she dies? That's not going to happen, OK?
I have to go and see her. I'm sorry, Kerri-Ann, you can't.
It's family only at the moment.
The last time I saw her, I told her how beautiful she looked.
It's the way she smiles, isn't it? She makes you feel so special.
Mm-hmm. She definitely has that way about her.
(SNIFFLES) And now they think she has lung cancer.
What? Niamh said they're doing tests on her.
Look, hang on, OK. It's just tests.
They're just being over cautious, that's all.
Yeah, there's nothing confirmed.
She is bad, though? It's complicated.
She was only in here last week, telling me I need a haircut.
We both agreed you'd look great with a number two on the sides.
Yeah, well, she'll be in again, so.
It just wouldn't be the same around here without her, would it?
(SOBS) Maybe you take Kerri-Ann out for a little bit.
Yeah. Yeah, come on, love. I'm sorry.
Don't be silly. I'll see you, Kerri-Ann.
See you later. I'm gonna try Wayne again there.
Yeah, he'd appreciate that. Thank you.
Not easy being everyone's rock.
(SIGHS) Seeing her lying there with the tubes going in and out,
the machine helping her breathe...
If anything happens, Wayne's going to be devastated.
And Pete.
And what about you?
(SOBS) Don't, please. I just have to be there for them. That's all.
OK. OK?
Right, well, erm, thanks for letting me know.
OK, bye.
You alright?
I didn't get a couple of those modelling auditions.
I mean, they only look at your head shot first.
Maybe they were looking for blondes.
I could do blonde.
I'm sure there's going to be plenty more auditions.
Yeah, right.
Erm, will you guys be OK?
Because I might be back later than I thought.
No, hang on a minute. The lunchtime rush is about to start.
I've stuff to do. Yeah, like what?
I have a life too, you know?
Sorry, Da. If you didn't want to help, you just have to say.
I don't mind an hour or two here and there, right?
But you're taking liberties now.
I thought you'd want to feel like part of the team.
(SCOFFS) Not particularly.
Do you want to go visit Dolores? Is that what this is? Cos I don't mind.
Oh, that's very big of you. Thanks. I didn't mean it that way.
Come on. You've been great. You know I appreciate your help.
What emergency is it this time? What stuff have you got to do?
I have to get some new clothes for castings.
You're going shopping?
I work every evening and at the weekends. I don't have the time.
I'm going to lunch.
And then I'm going to the hospital to visit Dolores.
That takes precedence today.
Looks like you're working now after all.
You can't expect your da to keep covering for you.
You're right. I'm a terrible person.
I didn't say that. But it's true.
It just feels like you don't want to be here.
Of course I do.
Why are you standing out here?
He wants to talk about funeral arrangements.
What? (SIGHS)
Have you seen Wayne or Orla?
Er, yeah. Orla was in for a bit.
It's hard for them.
That's why I offered to cover.
I wouldn't be in here otherwise.
Yeah. It must have been terrifying for you.
It was.
I'd rather keep busy than sit in my flat on my own.
Well, don't overdo it. Alright? I'll won't. Thanks, Bela.
Hello. Hi.
I was just telling Jane to mind herself after this Tommy business.
I mean, who released him?
They're the ones who need their heads examined.
What can I get for you, Bob? A coffee, please.
If you can manage that after your ordeal.
Yes, absolutely. Everyone has been very supportive.
Jane, can I talk to you? Er, yeah.
Look, you don't need to apologise, OK?
We all thought the same thing, that Tommy was better.
What happened?
He just freaked out.
He locked the door and started ranting that everything was my fault.
What was your fault? His illness?
I don't know. Like I say, he wasn't making any sense.
He says you set him up.
He's not well, Caoimhe.
Well, I was with him earlier and he was really calm and together.
Not like the last time. Maybe he's just better at hiding it.
It's not really something you can control.
He was fine one minute, then acting like a crazy man the next.
What can I tell you?
Usually it's something that comes on pretty gradually.
And he wasn't even agitated yesterday. I'm not an expert, am I?
I'm just saying, he seems pretty sane to me.
Some people are just better at putting on a show.
He's right, isn't he? You set him up.
I know this is hard for you to hear, but your dad's for the birds.
You tricked him. (LAUGHS)
I think you're starting to lose it now.
And I think you're a little bit too relaxed
for a woman who's been held hostage by a mad man.
You don't know anything about how I feel. You're lying!
Really?
I'd like to see you try and prove it.
There is no way you're getting away with this. It's done, Caoimhe.
He was trying to make amends. Oh, well, you should have said that.
All is forgiven.
Did he really think he could just turn up here? What did he expect?
A little compassion, maybe?
Oh. Like he showed to me, do you mean?
And don't be fooled. He's still got a temper, because I saw it.
You have to drop the charges.
Fine. I'll go to the guards myself.
And with your past, it shouldn't take much convincing.
But I'm not a gun-wielding maniac who stalked his ex wife.
I know who I'd believe.
If he goes to prison, I'm coming for you.
(LAUGHS) Is that a threat? Like father, like daughter.
Exactly. So watch your back.
Hi. Thanks.
What I was saying earlier, I didn't really mean it, OK?
I don't want to talk about it, OK?
Hi. Hiya.
Well, we have some results back
and her white blood cell count has improved.
OK. That's a... That's a good thing, right?
Well, it means she's fighting the infection.
The antibiotics are working. So she's going to be OK?
Well, we're still waiting on the results of the biopsy, so.
But what you're saying is that she's getting better, right?
Yeah, well, it's definitely positive news.
OK, good. Thanks. That's fantastic. Thank you.
Hey.
Well, did you hear that, Dolores?
You're getting better, so whatever you're doing, keep it up. OK?
Yeah. You're almost there, Ma. Yeah?
It's the best news we've had. Yeah.
I should have kept him away from her,
or at least gone for the dinner as well.
Talk to the guards. It's our word against hers.
And with the whole probation thing...
It'll probably go against him. Then we'll get a good solicitor.
I already suggested that. He said no.
We'll work it out. It's OK?
What are you doing here? How's Tommy doing?
Well, he's not going to be released, if that's what you mean.
He'll probably get another three years. Happy now?
I didn't want this. Yes, you did. Everyone did.
So you all owe Jane a great big thank you.
She set him up and it worked out great.
I'm sorry. No, you're not.
You don't seem too surprised?
He should have stayed away from Jane.
The only reason Tommy is here is to make things right.
That's not going to happen.
All he wants is a second chance, Bob.
You know what that's like.
I'll put these with the other 50 pairs I have.
Oh, I'm so... I can't believe I didn't remember to bring some.
How are yous? How was the film? Hey.
Eight out of ten. (CHUCKLES) Oh, there's my girl?
How are you? Are you coming to my house tomorrow for breakfast?
Yeah. Yeah?
Er, do you want to come in for dinner? I'm making chilli.
Come in.
Oh, I'd love to come in, but I've got work to do.
OK. No worries.
Gonna help me stir the pot? Oh, yeah.
I'll be in, in a minute.
You know, you're more than welcome. Oh, I know... I know that, thanks.
It's just, er... No, I do have work to do.
OK. See you later, yeah? Yeah, see you later.
Bye.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
I'm actually just going out.
To celebrate?
Yeah, that's right. Would you like to join me?
You'd really put an innocent man behind bars?
A guilty man. He's done his time.
Not nearly half enough, in my opinion.
OK, here's what you're going to do. Tell Deegan it was a mistake.
Or I will tell him that you and I plotted the whole thing
right from the beginning. And they'll take my word over yours.
Go ahead. We'll just get charged for wasting Garda time
and entrapment or whatever. I can live with that. But can you?
You've done pretty well recovering after what you did to the Brennans.
I'm sure you've had the odd night's celebration on that one, as well.
But now you're the bubbly barmaid, working for Niamh's cousin.
Respectable again.
I'd even go as far as to say that some people like you.
I'm not the bad person here.
But when it comes out what you did, and believe me,
I will make sure it does, you may as well pack your bags.
Think about it.
(SLAMS DOOR)
There you go. See you tomorrow.
Debbie. Hiya, Niamh.
How are you? Oh, wrecked.
You? Oh, I'm just about holding up.
Can I... Can I buy you a drink?
Oh, to be honest,
all I want to do is get home now I'm finished.
Yeah, of course, sure.
But, erm... why not?
OK, well, er, white wine? Yeah. That'd be lovely.
Erm, can I get the same again whenever you're ready? Thanks.
This place is really nice.
You can take it from me, it's very clean.
You can take pride in your work. That's good.
Ah, I don't want to get fired, anyway. Sure, who'd want that?
I did get fired once. Years ago, before I had the kids.
I worked in this printers. Oh, I loved it.
But, you know, cutbacks and... One day, they had to let me go.
Felt like I'd been dumped by my boyfriend.
I've never been fired, but, erm, I've certainly been dumped.
Then again, who hasn't, eh?
Live and learn.
Oh, I hate that saying.
My granny used to say it all the time.
Spill a glass of water. "Live and learn."
Problem is, most of us don't, though.
Yeah. You have to take risks, you know? Make mistakes.
Oh, listen to me. I'm the most risk-averse person you'll ever meet.
Oh. Thank you. Thanks.
You're the last person I ever expected to be having a drink with.
Yeah, well, my gran used to say you never know what's around the corner.
Yeah. I prefer that one.
Cheers. Cheers.
It's... about Tommy Dillon.
Thanks very much. Thank you.
I can't get through to Deegan.
I'm going to go see him myself when things quieten down here.
Right, I'll come with you. No.
You want to visit Dolores.
Look, I can handle this.
Right. Well, call me if you need anything, yeah?
Yeah. Give me a kiss.
See ya.
Deano. You alright?
Yeah.
Er, can I get an orange and a vodka and coke, please? Sure.
And I'm sorry about your dad, as well.
Do you know what? It feels good to be out. Thank you for getting cover.
Yeah, well, you can't work all the time.
And when the modelling takes off, you'll need someone you can rely on.
If I ever get booked for anything. Mm.
Have you still got a thing for Decco?
I just... I don't want to end up the spinster in the tapas bar.
Yeah. Yeah, I can see that happening, alright. You're totally doomed.
There's only one thing for it.
You two? Come here a sec, will you?
Don't embarrass me. Would I?
What's up?
Er, there's been a bit of an emergency.
What, like a fire?
Louise, she needs saving before it's too late.
Why? What's wrong with you? Nothing.
Just leave it, would you?
Are you OK? I'm fine.
She's heading for a life of misery and drudgery,
unless we take her out tonight.
Oh, you mean, go clubbing?
Oh. Yeah, no, I'd be up for that, yeah.
Well, I'm not. Well, you don't have a choice.
You'll be dancing on tables before the end of the night, guaranteed.
(LAUGHTER)
I promised your mother I'd be here for you.
Yeah? You don't have to worry about me, OK? I am fine.
Hang on a second.
Will you just give me a minute here? Please?
Will you sit down?
Please.
Look, I know we haven't always gotten on well together.
(SCOFFS) That's an understatement.
I love your mother and I would do anything for her.
And for her family. Oh, yeah, OK.
I know how you feel about her, alright?
Right. Yeah.
Let's just leave it at that, right?
Because, me and you, we don't have to... You know.
Yeah, I know. It's an emotional time, that's all.
Yeah. Everybody's tired.
Yeah.
But I know she's going to get better.
I know it.
What are you doing?
What does it look like I'm doing?
I didn't know you were into all that.
What have we got to lose?
Look, I'll tell you what, finish these and we'll head off.
Yeah, come on. OK.
Hey. How you doing?
Dad? What are you doing here? I broke out of my cell.
What?
No, relax. They released me. Jane retracted her statement.
Oh, that's great. I was so worried.
I didn't even know what to do.
Why don't you get your dad a drink? Yeah.
You have ton relax on the whole making amends mission, OK?
I always knew Jane was going to be tricky.
Yeah, well, she's not getting away with it.
Don't be talking like that.
She nearly had you sent back to prison. How can you not be furious?
I knew it was going to be hard coming back. I almost expected this.
But you're still staying, though? Of course.
It's all part of the journey.
Because we've a lot to look forward to.
I know. Hey, it's all good.
People will see that you're better. They just... They just need time.
And I have plenty of that.
