Yeah, Doug, that people carrier, will it be ready this afternoon?
(EXHALES) I'll try my best. He just called me, wanting to know.
I'm going as quick as I can. Where's Ray?
Giving driving lessons. He's booked up for most of the day.
I could really use an extra pair of hands.
Well, it's not my fault you're so far behind.
It's my fault. I kept him behind yesterday.
Is there anything I can do? No. You stay in the office.
And I'm expecting a new delivery in this evening,
so I need you to move all those cars to make room for them.
Oh. Can you not do that? I'm minding Ruth all morning.
Then I have meetings all day. I could move them.
You don't even have a licence.
And you do not let her anywhere near them, do you hear me?
Right.
He thinks I'm a total imbecile.
Ah, you're probably better off inside.
Out here is for the grease monkeys like me, you know?
If there's anything you need... Thanks, Rach. I better crack on.
Hey.
I, er, I'm gonna take him over to see my ma. OK?
Yeah. Give her my love. Yeah.
You look shattered. Do you wanna go back to bed?
I won't sleep.
I can't stop thinking about what happened last night.
We need to be more careful.
Jane is like an apparition, she appears out of nowhere.
What was she even doing in that office anyway?
She was talking to her auld one,
which means she definitely didn't hear us.
Has she ever mentioned her mother to you?
No, but I'm pretty sure she must have one.
Mm. That remark about families being complicated. That was a dig at us.
You're reading into this too much.
Listen... if Jane knew anything, right,
she'd have told us to stick our hands up
and she'd have emptied out the tills.
What if she's sitting on it?
Trying to figure out how much it's gonna be worth to her.
You're being paranoid. OK? She doesn't know.
What if you're wrong, love?
I mean, we already have a fight on our hands with Caoimhe.
You throw Jane in the mix, it's going to go nuclear.
We're going to have to do something about it.
I'll suss her out. I'll see what she knows.
OK.
But don't be nice to her, otherwise she'll know something's up.
Alright.
Clean and valet the van. Sure, you're gonna be out in it all day.
You can do it this evening when I'm done.
Clean the office and kitchen areas thoroughly.
Mm-hmm.
Have you got a leash and collar as well? (CHUCKLES)
If you don't like it, you know where the door is.
And that kitchen is in a heap, so give that a good scrub.
Yeah. I've seen the state of it. What happened to the dishwasher?
Ask her yourself.
I would advise you to watch it.
Oh, and, er, don't forget the jacks as well.
But that's not on the list.
When I said do everything that Decco tells you to do...
He's taking the Mick.
Yeah, he's trying to scare me off. And it won't work.
Well, fair play to you.
I don't think I'd be able to put up with him.
Well, whatever he throws at me, I'll stick it out.
I'm doing this for Juliet.
Come on, you can take 15 minutes. I'm working.
Alright, but at least give me breakfast
for keeping me up all night again.
You don't answer your phone? I left it in the back. Why?
There's a casting call for a Lotto ad in town.
You need to be there by noon.
Today? Yeah.
Well, it's kind of short notice. I've nobody to cover.
I thought you wanted this. I do.
It's not some hobby on the side.
You need to be available, or forget about it.
OK, I'll figure something out.
And they want a sexy, sassy vibe. So don't go in looking like that.
Leave the hair down, unbutton the blouse,
and a lot of red lippy should do the trick.
I'll let you know how it goes. Yeah. Good luck.
Oh, Dean.
Would you be able to manage if I pop out for a couple of hours? No.
Please. It's important. Life or death?
A model casting. That's a real red hot emergency, now.
It's the first one that Hayley's asked me to do.
Please. I can't let her down.
Is she even kosher?
I mean, you want to be careful she doesn't ask you to take your kit off.
It's legit. It's for a Lotto ad.
Could be your lucky day, huh? Thank you.
You ignored my call last night. I was at work.
After work. I was busy.
I just got my first casting call.
Ah. I told you Hayley was on the ball.
I better go home and glam up. I haven't a clue what to wear.
You could wear that and you'd knock them out.
You're looking at Ireland's next top model.
A glorified clothes horse. Very impressive.
Wish me luck. Ah, you don't need it.
I can guess what was keeping you busy last night.
Oh, come on, Michael. I know what's going on.
Jane... we were never exclusive, alright?
And we ended it anyway, so. (SIGHS)
Please, it's fine. You're like a treadmill.
Good to hop on every now and then.
But you hate it hanging around taking up space. (LAUGHS)
Yeah, it's a table for four booked under Brennan. Thanks.
Hey, Paul. Jackie.
How's it going? Grand, yeah.
I am, er, running late for a meeting, though.
Next time, let me know. I'll reserve you a quiet table.
I didn't know you were working here. Yeah.
An ex-colleague of mine is the boss and we're friends.
And it's around the corner. I jumped at it. Right, well, er...
Sorry, before you go, it was good of you to give Doug the time off.
Well, Doug took the time off.
There was very little I could do about it.
Well, we had a lot of family stuff going on.
Well, we've all got problems, you know, Jackie.
And my problem is the garage right now because Doug is slacking off.
From what I can see, he's more than making up for it.
Well, he'll wanna pick up the pace. He's starting to let things slide.
He's also helping Rachel. She's struggling in there.
Rachel's doing fine.
OK. Well, thanks for being so understanding about Doug.
If Doug needs some support and understanding,
you should bring him to a counsellor.
Because I'm his boss and I've got a business to run, alright?
So... was it a late night last night?
We stayed out until the bitter end.
They were literally sweeping us out the door of the Station.
Look, sorry I had to leave, but I had a splitting headache.
Are you sure that's all it was?
Orla, come on. You know you can talk to me.
Yeah, I do.
It's this thing with Wayne, isn't it?
Are yous not getting on? I really can't talk about it, Niamh.
It's... It's a bit awkward.
It wouldn't be fair on Wayne.
Are you not close any more?
I mean... physically close.
Orla, come on. He's just been...
He's been really stressed about Dolores.
And having a new baby, that doesn't help.
Yeah. Have you talked to him about it?
No, not yet. Well, maybe you should.
Cos none of us are getting any younger.
And all marriages go through their slumps. (DOOR OPENS)
Hiya, Niamh. Wayne, how are you? Wayne.
Good, yeah. Great.
Cos I was just saying to Orla that any time you two want a night out,
I can take Junior. It's no hassle.
Yeah? We might just take you up on that sometime. Do.
Thanks. I better head. I will see yous later.
Yeah. Thanks. Bye. See you later. I'll give you a call. Good luck.
I told Jane we want to talk to her. She's on the way over. Why?
So we can suss her out. I told her you wanted a word with her.
What am I going to say to her?
I don't know. Think of something. (KNOCK DOOR)
Hey. Hey.
Hi, Jane. You wanted to see me?
Yeah, I did. I, er...
I was wondering if you could swap a shift with me?
Which one? One of the weekends.
Yeah, I guess so. Oh.
Is that it?
Nothing else strange, no?
Since I saw you last night?
Yeah, my life has been a whirlwind of excitement.
No, it's just that, you know, you were talking to your mum. Is she OK?
My mother's never OK because she's a thundering old bag.
Right. Sounds complicated.
Yeah, well, we've never got on. Even as a child, I couldn't stand her.
Right. That's parents. A lot to answer for.
Anyway, I better get back because the lunch crowd are gonna be in.
Right, thanks for that. See you down there.
I told you.
Doug?
Doug?!
Sorry, he's not here, but I'll get him to ring you back.
Thanks. Bye.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Are you OK? Help us, will you?
Aah!
That's grand, see you next week. Alright. See you later.
Oh, hiya. Hey.
Is Mondo around?
No. He's outside cleaning my van with a toothbrush.
Er, Decco's just, er, giving him stuff to do to fill in the hours.
Oh, I see.
He's lucky I let him back at all after I sent him packing yesterday.
What do you mean?
He rang up all my clients, trying to wheel them and deal them
with an offer that would have lost me money. He's a disaster, Ray.
Go easy on him.
He lied to my face, Niamh. You were there.
He just doesn't want to disappoint you.
(SIGHS) I can't believe a word he tells me, my own son.
Do you know what, Ray, if I were you now, I'd be very proud of my son.
He's working like a dog, putting up with all of Decco's nonsense,
and all just to give his daughter a better life.
I'm going to call an ambulance. No, don't.
You can't move. Yeah, cos my shoulder's in bits.
It could be broke. We have to get you to the hospital.
I'm ringing my dad.
Yeah, cos that's a great help, him F-ing and blinding us out of it.
He's going to kill me. Go to the surgery and get Ama.
I can't leave you on your own.
Rachel. OK.
Doug, I am so sorry.
Look, just go and get her, will you?
That keg needs changing. Yeah, er, I'll do it.
Are you sure?
Yeah. And when I get back, why don't you take a break?
Make it a long one cos it's quiet in here.
OK. You're in a good mood today.
I heard Decco was cracking the whip.
That he went through you yesterday
for doing the hard sell behind his back.
Well, you could have told me.
Yeah, well, I didn't want to worry you.
You know, I botched up again.
Anyway, it's sorted now. I'm back working.
You shouldn't have to put up with that Decco
lording it over you like that.
I'll do anything if it means getting Juliet over here.
There must be something better out there.
Ah, well, job offers aren't exactly piling in.
It will have to do for now. Till I get something else sorted.
Look, I can give you a deposit for a place and a couple of months rent.
No, you're alright.
Well, no, you can pay me back when you find some work.
Thanks, Da. But I can't keep relying on you for bail-outs.
I need to do this on my own.
Anyway, I better head. I don't want Decco thinking I'm skiving off.
What do you want? Lunch. If that's alright with you?
No, actually, it's not.
Right. So are you refusing to serve us?
Oh, not you two. Just Tommy. And why is that, Jane?
Because we don't have plastic cutlery.
And he might start attacking someone with his knife and fork.
Alright, let's just go. No.
You treat him like this after the stunt you pulled?
Oh, I'm not one bit sorry for that.
My only regret is that I didn't get him
sent back to the funny farm where he belongs.
As if any one of us are right in the head?
Is everything OK here? Man, she is well out of order.
I am not serving that creep. A word with you, now.
I'm really sorry about that, OK?
I'll be back in a minute.
Alright, what the hell are you playing at?
I want him barred. Look, that's for me and Orla to decide.
This is our pub, not yours.
I don't think I need to remind you what he did to me.
The man was sick then, OK? He's better now.
You really believe that? Yes. I do, actually, yeah.
So how come you don't want him to know that he's Junior's father, then?
No. This is crazy. Tommy is not Junior's father.
I heard everything.
I don't know what you think you heard...
Well, if it's that ridiculous, I'll just ask Tommy what he makes of it?
No, don't. Don't. OK?
Hey. We're going somewhere else.
Yeah. Er... I'm sorry about that, OK?
Yeah. I know it's not your fault. But Tommy doesn't want to stay here.
OK.
This has to stay between you and me, do you hear me? Of course.
My family is at stake here. I know.
Junior's my little guy. I love him to pieces.
And you're a better father to Junior than Tommy would ever be.
Yeah, and that will change if this gets out.
I am not going to be his stepfather. I'm his dad. Do you hear me?
You know how I feel about Tommy. Why do you think I'd tell anyone?
Swear to me, will you?
I promise.
Your secret is safe. But just keep Tommy away from me.
Shoulder's dislocated.
Doug, I'm going to need you to relax for me for a minute, alright?
Why? What are you going to do?
Aah!
So, how long have you been working at the garage?
Oldest trick in the book there, Doc,
try and distract me while you're sticking the knife in.
(LAUGHS) Clever fella, aren't you? I'm not going to get one over on you.
No. Still, I've heard you're a good mechanic.
I used to be into cars myself actually,
followed the rally circuit for a while. Aaah! Ah. Ah.
There you go. That wasn't too bad, was it?
(GROANS) Is he going to be OK?
Will you stop freaking out?! I'm fine!
Now, there might be muscle spasm for a while.
You should go and have an x-ray
to make sure there's no damage to the joint.
Here, look, can you not say anything to Paul about this?
I don't discuss patients with anyone. Sound.
So you'll go straight to the hospital?
Yeah. (SIGHS)
I don't think you should drive, though.
Mind you, I don't think you should, either.
I'll pay you now.
Don't worry about that. You two should get going.
We'd better get back.
OK. I'll see you later, alright?
Alright. Thank you. See you. Thanks, Ama.
I'll call us a taxi now.
No. Look, if your da comes back, he'll find out.
I'm not going anywhere.
He said you have to go.
He's a doctor, of course he'd say that.
Oh! What's the matter?
Nothing, it's just a muscle spasm.
Doug, I... If you say sorry one more time...
Right... there's work to be done.
First things first, we need to shift these cars.
Alright, hop in that one there, and I'll teach you how to reverse.
Hey.
Jane knows.
She heard everything.
That's great. I mean, this is all we need, isn't it?
Relax. She said she's not going to say anything.
Seriously? She doesn't want him hanging around.
Jane never misses an opportunity.
And this has fallen right into her lap.
You're telling me that she's not going to look for something?
Jane hates Tommy.
She reckons Junior's better off without him.
Now, maybe that's enough for her.
I hope you're right.
Cheers, thanks.
So, how'd it go?
The queue was a mile long.
I waited for two hours, but then I had to get back in here.
Open castings take hours. You have to wait your turn.
I'll be more organized for the next one.
We're not exactly off to a great start here, are we?
In fairness, it was kinda short notice.
Yeah. Just don't be wasting my time.
I wouldn't mess with her. She scares me, too.
I even lied to her about why I left the audition.
What happened?
You should have seen these girls. They were complete pros.
Strutting around, trying to psych each other out.
I'd had enough. I'm not like them. Just as well, by the sounds of it.
Maybe the modelling thing isn't for me.
Nonsense. That face could launch a thousand ships,
let alone some little Lotto ad.
OK, so you know, you got cold feet. Next time, you'll nail it.
Yeah.
Here, come in for a drink later.
I'll keep telling you how beautiful you are,
and eventually it will sink in. OK.
Listen, er, sorry about earlier. But you know what Jane is like.
Yeah, unfortunately, we do.
She kinda killed the mood, Damien's gone off to work.
Yeah. Yeah.
Look, Orla feels terrible about what she said.
She didn't mean to insult you or anything.
So the next time you're in, drinks are on the house.
Wayne, there's no need.
I insist.
Just make sure Jane isn't pouring them.
Otherwise Tommy's going to need his own cup bearer.
Alright, well, we'll look forward to seeing you. Thanks, Wayne.
Nice fella.
Hey. You're back from the hospital already?
Yeah. No.
Look, the caddy's scratched to bits.
We have to get it fixed before Paul gets back.
And I'm way behind on work, so.
So you just dislocated your shoulder, and now you're fixing cars?
(LAUGHS)
You've either got great endurance, or you're extremely stupid.
Seriously, you need to rest up.
Yeah. I hear you barking, Doc.
Come on. I'll leave you to it. See yous. See ya.
You can't go back to work.
Sure I can. There's nothing wrong with me.
Fine. As soon as you're finished, we're going straight to hospital.
And how's Baldrick working out?
He's hasn't packed it in yet, surprisingly.
You're going too easy on him. Believe me, he's not.
We're going back to normal again tomorrow, yeah?
I haven't decided yet. I might do you up another list.
Do you want to get a drink tonight?
I'm going to the cinema with Kerri-Ann tonight.
You used to be fun. Does your one not let you out at night?
You know, jealousy isn't really your best trait.
Your dolly bird, erm, she's a beautician, yeah? Mm-hmm.
I've a load of stuff coming in.
Cosmetics, make-up, all top of the range.
She'll make back double what it costs her.
Kerri-Ann wouldn't touch your knock-offs.
You would, though.
Those days are behind me now.
You are turning into an awful bore.
I know someone who might be interested.
Did he say you could speak? Anyway, I don't do business with replicants.
Blade Runner? Blade Runner.
(LAUGHS)
He's definitely not playing with the full deck.
Talk to you later. See ya.
Michael, we're out of Chardonnay. There's some out back.
No, I looked earlier. I can't find any.
I'm sure there was one. Alright, back in a minute.
OK.
Thanks for filling in for me last night. Sorry?
Michael texted me after work to call around to his place,
but I was just so shattered, you know?
Oh, come on, we're all grown-ups here.
One of us is a lot more grown up than the other.
You off already? That's a shame.
You might be OK with being somebody's booty call, but I'm not.
Depends on who's calling.
Jane, can I have a word for a sec? Yeah, of course.
Oh, sorry, Michael.
Where did she go? No idea.
Wayne says you know, about Junior.
You don't need to worry, Orla.
I'm not going to breathe a word to anyone.
I just want to protect my family. Don't beat yourself up over this.
You're doing the right thing by not telling Tommy.
He's a certified mental case,
he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near that child.
Right, well, look,
I just wanted to say thanks for keeping it amongst ourselves.
If Tommy got me pregnant, I'd be on the next boat.
Junior's the best thing that ever happened to me,
and I would never change that.
I felt the same way about Callum.
You know, Callum was raised without knowing who his real father was.
Do you regret not telling him?
Maybe he would have been better off, who knows?
But I did what I thought was best for him at the time.
And that's all you can do.
Well, how did things go today? Grand, yeah.
No more disasters, then, no? No. Smooth sailing all the way.
Right, well... Listen, thanks for helping her out, yeah?
I did nothing, sure.
Oh, by the way, how's Ruth?
Oh, she's grand. And I've got dinner ready.
I'm going into town with Doug.
Right. Well, go on. But don't be long, you hear me?
Alright. See ya.
See yous.
Hey, Doug? Yeah?
Are you alright there? Yeah.
You just a bit crooked or something. Oh, I... I pulled a muscle.
Oh, right. I didn't know you had any.
See you later. Good luck.
This little nixer that you have going on.
What about it? I want in.
I thought you were skint. Yeah, well, sales is more my strong point.
I could shift a lot of it for you and we can split the cash.
I need an investor, not a sales assistant.
How much?
500. You're having a laugh?
It's worth over twice that. So take it or leave it.
I'll get the money.
How are you? Oh. Hi.
Do you want a pint? Sure.
Er, Wayne, could you stick on a pint for Mondo, please?
Listen, Da, do you remember what we were talking about earlier.
Oh, about you refusing to take my money? Will I ever forget?
(CHUCKLES) It's probably a first. It certainly is.
Do you know, I really admire what you're doing, son.
(SIGHS) Thanks.
Yeah, no, I... I just wanted to say, I appreciate, you know, the offer.
Sure, I know. There you go.
Oh, thanks, Wayne.
You can head off if you want.
Oh. You're sure you can manage?
Yeah, we've got it covered. Thanks.
Alright. I'll come in earlier in the morning, then.
Hey. You don't have to.
There's something I want to discuss with you both.
Right. Is it work related, or...?
Er, yeah. Well... I'm here quite a while now.
And I'm a good employee, don't you think?
Yeah. Yeah, we do.
So isn't it time I was due a pay rise, then?
We can't afford that, and you know it.
We're barely getting by here.
OK. Tell you what. I'll take tomorrow off, and let you both mull it over.
I knew it was too good to be true. We have to give it to her.
No, we don't, because that's how it starts.
We don't have a choice. (SCOFFS)
We give her whatever she wants, whatever the cost.
