You didn't sleep a wink last night.
I hate all this waiting around. I wish there was something I could do.
He'll call later and this will all be over. Try not to worry.
We were supposed to be getting married today.
Neil would have been here. And he will be.
Sure, we have it all ahead of us. It's something to look forward to.
Yeah, you're right. Just have to try and stay positive.
Yeah. See you later, OK?
Ah, Pete. How you doing?
Mondo? I better get going, otherwise I'll be late.
She's only gonna be here for the next couple of days.
Are you going to spend it working? It's OK, I don't mind.
I need every cent I can get.
Anyway, I'll see her all the time in Liverpool.
I am going.
He wants to come.
Yeah, I know that, love. But I don't think he's thought this through.
You mean, he won't come?
Look, I just don't want to see you being disappointed, that's all.
I was thinking of bringing Ruth to the park. Do you want to come?
We're going into town.
I want to treat this one for putting up with me these last few days.
Are you going anywhere nice tonight?
McCoy's. We're all going.
And this one here is going to be the belle of the ball.
Oh, no, I'm not.
You are a stunning looking woman.
I'm a princess. Yes, you are, yeah.
You're a gorgeous girl. (LAUGHS)
You're looking very well yourself these days, Niamh.
Oh. The compliments are flying around here today.
That young fella's knocking years off you.
For somebody who's supposedly heartbroken after getting ditched,
you're looking very well yourself. Oh, well, you know me,
I'm not one to wallow. Stuff happens, you move on.
Isn't that right, pet?
Besides, and who knows, maybe this'll be my lucky night?
Maybe I'll meet the man of my dreams.
Anybody particular in mind?
Well, I don't know.
Happen to know of any rich, single, successful, men out there?
Oh, now, one my own age, obviously.
I don't think I'd ever date a younger guy again.
Not after Clar. They're just so fickle.
And they always end up leaving you for someone younger, prettier.
OK, sweetheart. Right, let me get my coat,
and then it's Brown Thomas, here we come.
Seriously? Only the best for us gals.
Come on.
See youse later. See ya.
Have fun.
I have him checking his emails every ten minutes.
And nothing?
Not yet, no.
I was thinking, maybe he's just out on a bender, Da.
That's how Neil would react to getting fired.
Sean told me he was a wild child.
By a bender, do you just... You mean drinking?
Yeah. What else goes on?
Like I'm going to grass him up? Doug, this could be important.
If Neil has a drug problem, we need to know.
He could be out of his mind. He's not a junkie.
He just likes to keep the session going.
OK, OK. Let's all just calm down until we hear what he has to say.
He'll phone later. What if he doesn't?
He always phones on New Year's Eve at ten minutes to twelve,
you can set your watch by him. You're worrying too much.
If you knew Neil, you'd understand.
I want to know him. And you will.
(ROBBIE) Look, there's a bit of a cash flow problem.
You're not backing out on me? I just have to offload a few assets.
It's not as straightforward as I thought. I need to sort this.
I'm doing my best, Dan, alright?
I have to go.
Hi. How are you?
Listen, about yesterday...
Buy me a drink later on, we'll forget about it.
I would, but there's something I've gotta sort out.
It can wait. Come on, what could be more important
than ringing in the New Year with an old friend?
McCoy's, around nine?
See you then. OK.
Hello, gorgeous?
Still trying to profit from his misfortune?
He's practically begging me to buy his bar.
I'm doing him a favour.
It's sweet though, to see you still fighting his battles for him.
I care about him. Forget Dan, it's not going to happen.
We'll see about that. He's not right for you.
And you are?
Do you feel that? What?
Chemistry, it's what has you all hot and bothered.
You are unbelievable.
And you are very sexy when you're mad.
When he doesn't show up, give me a call.
Starting the New Year's resolutions early, huh?
Who am I kidding? I'll be back on the junk food by Friday.
Are you going to McCoy's later? I'm not sure, Charlie.
I know you mightn't feel like it. But all your friends will be there.
We'll raise a glass to Gina.
And to Esther.
Dolores? Hi.
I'm Fionnuala, your breast care nurse.
So, this is your first time with us?
Yeah. I had a physical recently, and they found a lump.
Well, it's important to have it seen to.
It might not be anything to worry about.
But it's best to know for sure.
Yeah. I'm a bit nervous. I'm not a fan of hospitals.
Try working in one. (CHUCKLES)
So, the doctor will go through your medical history,
do a physical examination,
and then we'll bring you down for your mammogram.
It'll be all over before you know it.
Hello, Dolores.
I'm Olivia Sutton, the consultant here.
Oh. Nice to meet you.
If you wouldn't mind removing your top and bra,
we can get on with the examination.
You've got a spook tailing you. Are you spying on me?
Well, I was practicing my surveillance skills.
You should be at home.
Granddad gave me money for chips. I can't eat his rabbit food any more.
His New Year's resolution. How's the ankle?
It's on the mend.
I heard Decco spent Christmas in A and E with you and your auld one.
Talk about trying a little bit too hard.
He sneaked her in a bottle of brandy.
She thinks he's the best ever.
The sap has me out door-stepping clients, trying to get money
cos he's too chicken to do it. You're not threatening them?
No, I'm not a thug.
No, just a few firm words to get them to part with their cash.
Can you take me for a spin in the van? Go on, hop in.
OK!
Are you all set for Liverpool?
Just about, yeah.
I think it's wonderful what you're doing.
You two have a special bond. She's an amazing kid.
I can't take the credit for that. That's her mother.
There's a lot of you in her, too. Only the best bits, I hope.
Alright, alright, I'm coming.
I forgot. I have to go meet Granddad in the park.
OK. Well, er, I've got break in a few minutes,
so I'll see you over there? 1400, usual place.
OK, yeah. Here, what about, er, your chips?
I'm not hungry any more.
Erm, any word from Neil?
Er... Not yet, we're expecting a call from him this evening.
Doug mentioned the door to his flat was forced open.
Yeah.
Can you think of any reason why someone might be after Neil?
Could he have got mixed up in something?
Look, anything you tell me in confidence will stay that way.
Well, he's no angel, you know that.
I suppose he could've fallen in with a bad crowd.
We just don't know what's going on.
Well, the police will be taking this seriously.
They'll be checking CCTV, looking for fingerprints,
they'll do whatever they can do to find out who broke in.
Well, hopefully, he'll fill us in himself later.
Well, keep me posted, yeah? Yeah. Thanks.
We should go over there.
What, and wander round the streets of Paris hoping to bump into him?
At least we'd be doing something.
Put your mind at rest.
We'll just have to wait until he calls later.
If he's in trouble... we'll sort it.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Juliet!
Slow down.
Lunch. Dig in.
I have something for you, too. Oh, yeah?
Where did that come from? I can't reveal my methods.
Juliet, that's a lot of money. Just over 500.
All of my savings, plus the Christmas money Ma gave me.
You know I can't take it. It's yours. Please?
What would your ma say if she knew I took your Christmas money?
And who's going to tell her?
Da, you coming to Liverpool is better than any stupid Christmas present.
That wasn't too bad.
I told you there was nothing to it. I'm just relieved it's all over.
She'll have your results any minute. Oh. I should be getting back.
I'm minding my grandson this afternoon.
Ah, how old is he? Six and a half months.
They're gorgeous when they're that age.
Ah, yeah. He's a little dote.
Please, won't you take a seat?
The mammogram has shown up something.
A mass in your left breast. I believe you knew about it?
Yeah, I was hoping it was nothing to worry about.
OK. We will do a core biopsy immediately
to take a sample of the tissue.
What do you think it is?
We'll know for certain when we get the results of the biopsy.
But you must have some idea.
I mean, you're looking at dozens of these X-Rays every day.
Please, I just... I just want to know.
Like I said, we will have to wait for the lab results to come back.
Yeah, but it might be...
There's no use in speculating. It's too early to say.
I'm supposed to be getting married.
I have a grandson now.
He's only a baby.
I want to see him grow up, you know> I want to be here for him.
I can't be sick.
(SIGHS) I need to know what I'm facing into here.
Please, just tell me what it is.
There is a possibility the tumour is malignant.
What else could it be? A cyst. Possibly a fibroadenoma.
A benign tumour.
And if it is malignant, which it might not be,
we have effective, successful treatments.
Try not to worry. It's pointless stressing yourself out
until we have a definite diagnosis.
When will that be?
Fionnuala will arrange an appointment for this day next week.
You should bring someone with you, a family member, or a close friend.
In case it's bad news.
Hopefully, it'll be good news.
It's best to have support there, whatever the outcome.
We'll get you ready for the biopsy now.
I'll go through what's involved.
Er, could I have a minute to myself, if that's OK?
Of course.
So, any resolutions, Carol?
Same as last year, ditch the fags.
Michael, you can head off, love. Thanks.
Yeah, and, er, enjoy the private party.
See ya.
Hey. Hi.
Are we OK? Yeah.
It's just, I shouldn't have interfered with you and Rachel.
You were only trying to help. Well, look, I'll make it up to you.
You put your feet up, have a glass of champagne,
while I slave over a hot stove.
And there is the look that tells me my plans are gonna change.
I'm sorry, I know you were looking forward to tonight.
Yeah, you and me both, I hope. No, I was, too.
It's just that Rachel's coming to the party here,
and it's her first time going out with the adults on New Year's Eve.
Next year, she'll be in college. I don't want to miss it.
No, I understand. It's cool. Really?
Yeah, as long as we escape before midnight,
before Wayne ropes me into doing the clean-up. OK, It's a deal.
Look, after what we've been through this year, I want you all to myself
when we're ringing in the next one.
Look, I, er... I know this is difficult for you.
I only came because you promised this would be the last time
I ever have to see you.
Now, what is it you want?
I want to help out with the cost of his care.
I at least owe him that much.
I'm selling the bar. It should be sorted soon.
So just take the money and use it for whatever he needs.
You have some nerve.
You came to me before looking to clear your guilty conscience.
I told you then, there is nothing you can do for us.
I'm trying to do the right thing.
By buying your way out of it? Keep your money.
Don't go. (SIGHS)
I knew it was a mistake coming here.
Just hear me out, alright?
OK...
You, er... you look great. Oh, sure, this old thing?
You bought it today.
OK, lesson one, never reveal to the man the effort you've gone to.
Let him think that you look this fabulous all of the time.
Does this look OK? I think it's stunning,
but I think you could probably bling it up a little bit.
My jewellery box is upstairs on the dressing table, knock yourself out.
Thanks.
Here, come here. Let me do that. Oh, cheers. Thank you.
Do you know what? I hate stand New Year's Eve.
It's the same as every other night out,
except you have to go round hugging and kissing every dim-wit in sight.
Well, you have had a few amazing New Years'.
When you whisked me off to Clifden? Yeah.
We walked the legs off each other. Do you remember that? (LAUGHS)
And we ended up in that little restaurant.
And back in the hotel afterwards. Do you remember that?
I know you struggle to meet the costs of his care. I just want to help.
There's no agenda.
You think you'll get less time
if the judge takes into account your big show of generosity?
No. That's not why I'm doing this. It won't even come up in court.
I don't want your blood money, Dan.
Then take it for Phil.
Why? So that you can feel better about yourself? No.
Is that what my son's life is worth, a few hundred grand?
I can't undo what's been done. I just want to help make it easier for you.
You can never repay what you took from me.
You took my son.
No amount of money, or years spent in prison
will change the fact that my boy is gone.
(DOOR SLAMS)
Er, text from Dan, is it? No.
Then why are you blushing? I'm not.
Oh, it's that kind of text, is it? It's nothing. Will you stop?
OK. See ya.
Bye. Happy New Year.
Hey, Carol. Hey.
Happy New Year.
This was a bad idea. Look, Jackie, he'll call.
And by one o'clock, you'll be swinging off those rafters.
Enjoy the night.
I'll get the drinks in. Good lad.
I'll give you a hand.
Are you alright?
I'll just be glad when all this worrying is over.
Couple of hours' time, it'll all be forgotten about. Charlie.
Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you.
It can't be worse than this one.
But my New Year's resolution is to count my blessings
and never look back. That's the spirit.
Make the most of it cos you never know what's around the corner.
Er, Pete, can I steal Dolores for a minute?
Yeah, so long as you bring her back to me. Of course I will.
Happy New Year. Happy New Year.
So, how did you get on? They had to do a biopsy.
Oh, I should have come with you.
Stop. Sure, it's probably nothing.
A cyst or one of those benign tumour thingies.
Yeah. Yeah, it's probably nothing. Did you tell Pete?
Sure, he's going out of his mind about Neil. I'll tell him tomorrow.
Right, I'll... I'll get you a drink. OK?
Come here, did you get any of those to cough up today?
Every single client. Finally, something you're good at.
So you gonna give me a reference? You must be joking.
I'll need it to get my next job.
You leave me in the lurch, and you want me to say how great you are?
Forget it. Suit yourself.
A reference from an ex-crim is no use to me anyway.
That was clever, burning your bridges.
You'll probably come crawling to him next week.
I'm not coming back here. I got a loan.
Enough to get me sorted over there. From who?
Someone who has a lot more faith in me than you do.
What is she wearing?
If I'm not mistaken, that's called an outfit.
But where's she going in it? It's hardly the Ritz.
In fairness, she can pull it off.
Will you come sit with us?
Yeah, you go on ahead.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Maybe we'll just get a table, the two of us?
OK.
His first New Year's, huh? Mm-hmm.
It's gonna be a big year for us. His first words.
"Dada." Will you stop?
Here, Michael, instead of standing there like a shmuck,
make yourself useful and collect the empties for me.
So, any New Year's resolutions? To be happy.
We all deserve to find happiness, Paul. Even you.
Do you know what your resolution should be?
What? To start having some fun.
Yeah.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
(CAROL) Dan, I know you're in there. Open up.
I'm gonna freeze to death out here. Will you let us in?
Hey.
I thought you were gonna meet me in McCoy's? I was waiting for you.
I'm not really up for celebrating. What's going on?
Nothing.
Oh. So you're just going to sit here and feel sorry for yourself?
Dan, life goes on. So get out of your funk, let's go for a drink.
I don't feel like it.
You really have given up, haven't you?
What's the point in going to prison when you're already there?
What are you doing here, Carol?
There's no-one else I want to ring in the New Year with.
We don't have to go McCoy's. We can stay here.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Why can't we just forget about everything, just for one night?
You're just feeling lonely, Carol. OK? Go to the pub.
Find someone else to make you feel better.
Just go.
(DOOR SLAMS)
No word? Er, no.
Would he have phoned you at home? No, he always calls me on the mobile.
Something's wrong. Try not to think like that.
I just want to go home. Just stay here. For a few minutes.
Just in case.
I can't believe that you're gonna be 18 next week.
It's not so long ago that you were playing dollys and teddy bears,
and look at you? Niamh, it's nearly twelve.
Already? I better get back to dad.
Oh. OK. Give us a hug.
Sorry, I know I promised we'd be home.
I didn't want to drag you away.
Charlie, do the honours there, will you? I'm up to my eyes here.
Alright, everyone, less than one minute to go! (CHEERING)
Oisin?
Oh, just a girlfriend. I'll call her tomorrow.
Still no sign of Kerri-Ann. She goes to her cousin's every year.
What? Nothing.
You should clear the air before he leaves.
He can do what he likes. I don't care any more.
You will someday. So don't leave things on a sour note.
Are you ready? It's time.
Ten.
(ALL JOIN IN) Nine.
Eight. Seven.
Six. Five. Four.
Three. Two. One.
(ALL) Happy New Year! (CHEERING)
Happy New Year, sweetheart. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year. Happy New Year, love.
Happy New Year.
Where is he?
Everything is going to be OK. I hope so.
Come here.
