So, is Carol definitely out of the picture, then?
Too much hassle.
There's nothing keeping me here. I'm leaving. Today.
Yeah, well, you make a New Year's resolution...
I'll keep an eye on The Station. Protect my future investment.
And help yourself to the odd pint. Quality control.
Caoimhe loves being in charge, so at least let her think she is.
Yvonne is gonna have to find herself a new whipping boy.
Dan's finally got sense, upped sticks and leaving.
Tell him not to bother with a postcard.
Alright?
Yeah, I didn't sleep either.
Will you be OK?
I want to know as soon as you find out.
Yeah.
I'm gonna head. Alright.
Bye. Talk to you later, Doug.
He fears the worst. I'll mind him.
It might not be Neil.
It's not Neil, OK?
Dolores, bye. Take care of yourself, Jackie.
And you call me if you need anything, alright?
I love you.
Do me a favour? Will you look after him, just in case...
You know, in case...
I'll call you later. Yeah.
By the way, you don't fancy meeting for lunch later on, do you?
I could really do without Ray's communist manifesto for one day.
Yeah, well, I would, but, erm, I'm expecting Clar this afternoon.
I'm not looking forward to it.
Well, I could rearrange things to be here for you.
No, no. No need. Absolutely not, no.
I am kinda curious to see what this Clar is like in person.
Yeah, I'm sure you are.
To be honest, Paul, I just want to get this meeting over and done with,
with as little fuss as possible.
Are you gonna be OK with him here on your own?
Yeah. Of course.
What if he loses the cool, or... He won't. You're late. Will you go?
I will probably miss this bossiness when you're gone, do you know that?
McGowan's Hotel cancelled my 18th. By email.
I wouldn't even know if I hadn't checked.
What? It's OK, Paul. I can handle this. You go.
What excuse did they give?
A double booking. Well, they can't just cancel yours.
They offered to have the party in a sister hotel, miles away.
OK. Look, I'll get on to them.
You would be amazed what the threat of a solicitor's letter can achieve.
Another venue is what I need.
I'll see if Niamh can come into town with me.
Well... I would, but it's just I'm expecting Clar later on.
Maybe you could get my deposit back?
Plus an apology in writing. Consider it done.
And, you know, when I'm finished with Clar,
I could always come with you then. If you'd like me to.
Yeah. Thanks. OK. I'm on to it.
Yeah. (PHONE RINGS)
(SIGHS)
Hey, Rach. We're turning them off for the weekend.
Niamh, the hotel cancelled my party.
Well, no, they can't do that. That's what Nicola said.
She's having a go at them. But I need a venue.
Come straight over here, and we'll sort it out.
Yeah. See you in a bit. Yeah, see you in a few minutes.
Alright, love. Bye. Bye.
What's the hassle? Rachel's 18th birthday party.
And Nicola's now getting herself involved.
Why not? If Rachel needs help. Er, because I'm here for that.
OK. And she's on her way over now.
I'll be heading to work soon anyway, so you want to start getting packed.
Yeah, it'll only take me two minutes. Since when?
Look, are you into this trip as much as I am?
Oh, a weekend away with a bunch of your rowdy mates?
Yeah, I... I can't wait. Wild horses wouldn't keep me away.
It's not a gang of lads. It's couples.
I'm joking. I'm looking forward to it, too. Of course I am.
Jason's bringing his fiancee. He's finally getting domesticated.
Myself and him were the hit and run artists.
I can only imagine. Until you meet the one.
I can't wait to show you off.
Pack the red dress, yeah? OK.
Right, time to take the decorations down.
Christmas is well and truly over.
Have you seen Dan? Not today.
He's packing his bags.
That's the gospel according to Robbie.
He's probably doing a runner. Hardly. He did give himself up.
Maybe Saint Dan is having second thoughts.
Let the Guards worry about it. Well, did Robbie say where?
The Costa del Crime would suit him. Lowlife fugitives running bars.
This is not a joke.
Oh, please don't tell me you give a damn.
Sad, sister. The decorations.
It's Neil... lying dead over there.
You don't know that.
I'm just facing facts. The police think it's him.
Doug. I checked in the shop, they didn't know where you were.
He called to the surgery. Are you alright?
He's in shock, preparing for bad news. I'll keep an eye.
I'm glad he has you.
As a friend, Ama.
Oh, yeah? Sweets for Juliet? And they say you can't buy love.
You leave my daughter out of this.
I feel sorry for her, though.
I suppose she'll have her mother to go back to when you're inside.
Cos that's where you're heading.
You're not just a thief, you're a bad one.
And do you know what, you'll always be a waster.
Proving him wrong is one of the things that's gonna keep me going.
He's not wrong.
If anyone is to blame for Dan moving away, it's you.
He's leaving? You just had to keep interfering.
Listen, I'm not the one who went running to Phil McGrath's mother.
You drove me to that. You just couldn't bear to see me winning.
Get over yourself, will you? You're so important.
Dan has legal issues to deal with. Running away will make them worse.
He's gone already? Like you give a damn.
I'll try talking him out of it.
Want a coffee? No, I'd prefer to just get going.
Oh, well, I... I thought we could do it here, online.
I could've done that with Nicola. I'd prefer to see the place.
Well, it's just that I'm heading away and I need to get ready.
You should've said.
I'm meeting Michael's friends for the first time. It's a big deal.
No, really, it's OK. I'm panicking for no reason.
Nicola said she could do it later.
Well, no. Actually, I do have a couple of hours.
And you do need my negotiating skills.
But we're gonna have to hurry. And I mean jog.
Right. Go.
I'll give him this much, he was some cook.
Sorry. Sorry. I mean, is some cook.
No, no, it's hard not to be pessimistic.
I mean, would they bring them all the way over to London
if they weren't fairly certain? Doug's already starting to grieve.
Well, that's something we deal with if we have to. If.
Anyway, how are you doing? How are you coping?
And I'm not talking about Neil.
The same. Hoping for the best.
I'm frightened, Orla.
Another good man gone. Tell Jason to enjoy his last days of freedom.
Jason is going for a swim off the pier in Salthill tomorrow,
only he doesn't know it yet.
A big fry to warm him up after, he'll be grand.
Yeah. As long as there's no handcuffs involved. Big mistake.
Listen, erm, tell me something, though.
Why are you bringing Niamh to a stag?
It's not a stag. It's a night out with the gang.
Yeah, I know, but won't she feel a bit out of it?
She doesn't even know your friends.
They're bringing their partners, too.
Yeah, but how many of these girlfriends are married with kids?
What difference does that make?
Look... they're more into the Spice Girls, and she's into Madonna.
If you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, look, makes no odds to me, right?
The new boss, he'll have his own way of doing things,
get the basics right and I'm sure he'll keep you on.
Is he local? You'll meet him soon enough.
When he gets his act together and buys the place.
This new guy, he thinks he knows everything,
but he can teach you a few things.
Sean, I've seen you in action. You need to be a bit more zen.
Be the pint. Voila.
I'm dispensing wisdom here.
Caoimhe is senior, but I want you dealing with the reps.
Or let Robbie. Robbie?
Don't be fooled by the clown act. Watch him in action some time.
And keep the paperwork in order and, er, tidy the cellar.
It's a bit of a state. My fault. Why am I getting this extra work?
It's called responsibility. If you don't want it... I'm not refusing.
Go on, make a start on the invoices.
I'll be in to discuss your raise. I like the sound of that.
And I'll put a word in with the buyer about your jobs.
I don't want them knowing it's me yet.
I like to slip in under the radar.
Fair enough. I doubt Carol and Yvonne will keep your secret.
Yeah, and don't be so generous with the raises.
Are you having fun?
You're rewarding me. I've earned it.
I've organised a van to clear your house
and a lock-up to store your gear.
Is he here?
Where, then?
He doesn't want to see you. That's straight from Dan.
Give the guy a break. I just want to say goodbye.
I'll pass it on. Ah, Robbie, please. I want us to part on good terms.
Hey.
Wild guess. You're here to see Dan, too?
Well, you can wait your turn, OK? Like I need your permission.
Have you taken over already? Soon. So you better be nice to me.
Where is he? Dan left strict instructions.
Do not disturb. He'll gut me if I tell.
Well, I will if you don't.
(SIGHS) Between me and you, try the cellar. But you owe me one.
I'll settle for a dinner. You'll be waiting.
I'll make sure to tell Dan that you gave him up real easy.
Two coffees for the working men. You know where they are.
I'm just going down to the cellar to check some stock.
There's a customer there needs serving.
What can I get you?
Dan? He's not here.
Now, this is called Operation: Save Dan From The Dragons.
Make yourselves comfortable. (LAUGHS)
Robbie! Robbie!
Robbie, if you want to keep your kneecaps, open this door right now!
Now!
(BANGS DOOR) Robbie!
Give over a second, will you?
I want to talk to dead man walking. Push me again, I dare you.
Just shut up. Oh, please, ladies, no cat fights.
Not until I can sell some tickets.
Robbie, are you gonna open the door?! No, not for a while.
Do you know what I saw today for the first time in months?
A happy Dan. You know, you're not half as funny as you think you are.
Oh, I have my moments. This is just until Dan makes his getaway.
An hour or two, tops.
Robbie! Robbie!
Look, knock away as loud as you want. No-one will hear you upstairs.
You'll have some quality time together. Bye.
(HUMS)
I'm gonna throttle him.
Then I'm gonna revive him, so I can do it again.
You keep playing pretend gangster. I'll do something practical.
No signal? Two steps ahead of you, Einstein.
Robbie? Robbie! Robbie!
What can I get you? Who put you in charge?
Can you hear anything?
Like what? Two banshees screaming.
Carol and Yvonne. I locked them in the cellar. They're going mental.
(LAUGHS) It's your funeral.
Ah, they'll get over it. See, I should have planned it right,
installed CCTV, we could have all watched it.
Come here, I need a signature here. Yeah.
Now, you can, er, let Carol out for good behaviour. No parole for Yvonne.
You're not a fan? Let's just say people will thank you.
Cheers.
Wait. Let me say something.
(SIGHS) You gave me a chance when no-one else would.
And that makes me a sap.
I let you down. And a lot of other people.
I'm gonna get Robbie there to play you a violin, will I?
Well, what do you think? I have been told I look great in it.
Oh, maybe if I saw it on. (DOOR BUZZER GOES)
I'll get it.
Thanks, Rachel.
Yeah, do you know what, you're right.
It looks a bit line-dancey. Hello.
(NICOLA) "Rachel. I was hoping you'd be there."
Oh, is it OK to let Nicola in? Of course. Why wouldn't it be?
Come on up.
I wonder what she wants. Must be important, she could've rang you.
She sounds happy. She must have good news.
Oh, yeah? Hi.
Hi. Now, I won't stay long. I have to get back for Clar.
Oh. So, this is nice and compact. Well, you know, it is what it is.
Niamh and me found the perfect venue. Connex.
They have a private function room upstairs.
And guess what, you will have your deposit back on Monday.
Tuesday at the latest.
With a voucher for a meal for two. Seriously?
Happy birthday! (CHUCKLES)
I mean, I will obviously be getting you a proper present,
but, you know, it's a bonus.
Oh, thank you so much. Oh, you're welcome, pet.
I do what I can. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Nicola.
Right. Well, erm, I won't stay for coffee, Niamh.
I'll see you later. Bye.
See you later.
Well, that was nice of her, wasn't it?
Yeah, it's really coming together now.
Almost. All you need are your balloons, decorations.
Oh, the party shop. They do themes. Yeah. And a cake. You need a cake.
So come on, let's go. Can you?
Well, you do need your party planner.
I'll call in to Michael, let him know.
He'll be OK if we leave a little bit later. Come on.
Feeling better now? (SLIGHT NOISE)
Shh, listen. Listen.
There's mice in the wall. There.
Oh, I see a spider. Giant man-eating one. Get a grip!
Me? You'd want to take a look at yourself.
Maybe I should do a song and dance, huh?
What, is it not cold enough for you? It stinks in here.
Ah, turn it off. Leave it.
They're professionals. These things are handled very delicately.
It can't make it any easier.
Imagine being brought face to face with your dead son.
Well, there will be a counsellor on standby.
Yeah, well, I suppose that's something.
John, would you mind not getting into the specifics with Dolores?
Even if she asks. You know, it's all a bit glum.
She'll have to find out sooner or later.
How's my little man? He had two full bowls.
They've landed. Yeah. They're on their way to the city centre.
Poor Pete.
Yeah. Anyway, I better let Kerri-Ann off. Mondo'll be leaving soon.
She'll want to say her goodbyes. OK?
Thanks, Dolores. Thanks, Ma. See you later.
See you. Bye. Bye, Nana. Bye, Nana.
Thanks for that. For what?
I see you being nice to her. Well, it's the least I can do.
Let's go.
My kids send me birthday cards. Not now, John.
And I send them cards, too. When I remember.
I asked you. Ray, that's all we have now.
Look, I'm not gonna pretend I like Mondo, or understand him.
But he is your only child.
You could end up losing Juliet, too. I'm not gonna let that happen.
Ray.
I'm almost packed. Could this be a record?
Yeah, I did say I'm almost packed.
But I have to do something with Rachel first if it's OK.
So would you mind if we leave a little bit later?
As long as it's not too much later. Thank you.
You won't get a signal. Maybe if I go higher.
Don't be so desperate. Just wait it out.
I have things to do.
I'm sure your taxi empire will survive.
I told the babysitter that I'd be half an hour, right?
(LAUGHS) The concerned mother routine. Here we go.
Watch it.
Come on, Carol. It's me. I mean, babysitters, creches.
How many hours a week do you actually spend with Jack?
You are sailing really close to another smack in the mouth!
Try it. This time I'll gouge your eyes out.
Just keep your thoughts about my son to yourself!
You'd want to calm down, Carol. I get claustrophobic!
Ever since I had Jack in the lift, alright?
So don't be annoying me, Yvonne, because I won't be responsible!
(CLATTERING) Here, mind, Carol!
Mind!
Now...
Still no bloody signal!
It shouldn't be much longer, OK?
Of all the people to be stuck with.
Yeah, well, you wouldn't exactly be top of my list, right?
Who would be? We're playing games now?
Well, go on, you first.
Brendan Gleeson.
I'd say he'd have some stories.
And you wouldn't get cold. Plenty to cuddle into.
(SOUND OF GAS ESCAPING)
I love the accent. (CHUCKLES)
Soothing, isn't it?
OK, you again.
Mostly, I'd like to be locked in here with Robbie.
So I could stick needles in him.
Dan'll be gone.
I said some vicious things to him.
We've both put Dan through it.
(SOUND OF GAS ESCAPING)
I won't miss much around here.
What about Ray?
I will miss you, though. Good friends are hard to find.
There's no way you stole that money. You wouldn't.
Except I did. Please don't lie to me.
Juliet. She's the only other one who could have.
What good is this doing?
Are you taking the blame for her?
Raymond.
At least tell Ray you're innocent. Don't say a word.
You put it together because you have a bit of faith in me.
You and Juliet are the only ones that do.
You're not that alone.
Except I'm not a saint. I've stolen stuff in the past.
And I regret it.
It hurt someone I really care about.
Someday I'll make it up.
I know you will.
I should never have let you go.
Not meant to be.
Goodbye, Raymond.
Bye, babes.
Paul... what are you still doing here?
I'll stay out of your way, but I'll just be in the den if it gets heated.
Oh, for God's sake, Paul, he's not a thug.
Well, he doesn't sound exactly like a gentleman to me.
Look, I'm doing this. You most certainly are not.
What? You're going to throw me out of my own house?
Look, Paul, will you quit beating your chest.
You do not need to be competitive, not around Clar.
For God's sake, I'm not that sad.
By the way, that looks very nice on you.
Oh. Thanks very much. (DOORBELL ERINGS)
Right. OK, that's gonna be him. Please, just leave.
He needs to know I'm here, and then he'll behave. Paul!
Let him in, will you? I'm doing it.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Clar. Nicola.
Hi. Erm, you'd better come through to the kitchen.
I had to take the train.
Then the taxi driver gave me the magical mystery tour.
The car is in the garage again.
My worst purchase ever. They see me coming.
I wouldn't be exactly what you'd call an expert. Unlike you.
You must be Paul. Clar Geraghty. Hey.
Erm, I wasn't expecting an audience.
Well, I did ask Paul to leave us alone.
We do have a lot to discuss.
In private. In fact, Paul was just leaving.
Right, well, er... You know where I am if you need me.
I suppose why is top of the agenda. It's the only question, really.
(COUGHS)
Carol. (COUGHS) Wake up.
(COUGHS)
There's gas. (COUGHS)
What are you talking about? Carol, gas. I can smell it.
Come on. (BOTH COUGH)
Where's it coming from? I don't know.
It wasn't like this when we got in here.
The barrel I knocked. Damn it. Oh, here.
Mind where you're going! I didn't do it on purpose, OK?
Oi, stop. Will you stop? We're gonna have to stay calm here.
Oh, if I hadn't woken up. If I'd had my fags with me.
OK, there it is. Great.
There's tape over there on that shelf. Go on, go and grab it.
Right. OK. Hurry up.
Here, look.
Lovely. Get that barrel out of the way.
(CLATTERING) Great.
Here, use this. Right.
Hold it together. Hold it... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(COUGHS)
OK. OK, I think that's got it stopped.
Is it gonna stay stopped? I don't know, Yvonne.
I'm not a bleeding plumber! Oh... (COUGHS)
There's some coming out. Oh.
Robbie! Robbie!
(BANGING)
I'm leaving the place in good hands. The best.
He meant me. So did I.
Are you two gonna get on?
I should probably say something meaningful.
Speech.
Bye-bye, Carrigstown. It's been... an experience.
Ah, here.
Don't be a stranger.
When you get your head sorted, give us a shout, yeah?
(BANGING) Pipes must be acting up.
It was cold night last night. I'll check them in a while.
What's going on? Me and Sean will take care of it.
It's Carol and Yvonne.
I locked them down in the cellar to stop them bugging you.
Get out of here before I let them out.
You're a class A clown.
The key! Where'd you leave it?
Well, if I knew that...
There should be a spare in the office.
Bring it down to us, will you?
(BANGING)
Robbie! Help! I'm here. Give it over!
Stop! Carol! Carol, stop, stop!
Let us out! Dan!
One second. Relax! Give me the key?
I lost it. Sean's looking for the spare one.
There is no spare one.
There's been a gas leak, right? We think we've blocked it.
Gas? How? Are you sure? Yeah, we broke a pipe.
It's just stuck with tape. Would you hurry up?
Is the leak definitely stopped? How bad is it in there?
Come on! Open this thing! Just get us out, Dan!
We'll have to kick the door in. The lock could spark.
We've no choice.
Look, this is really important. Don't turn anything on or off.
Nothing that can cause a spark.
Now, get back from the door and lie on the ground.
That's really gonna help if it blows. Robbie.
We're gonna have to kick the door in.
Mind. Oh!
(PANTING)
What about when they smash the door in?
One. Two. Three!
Are you OK? I'm so sorry.
You idiot! Everybody get out!
You can have your arguments outside!
Robbie, I'm gonna turn the gas off at the mains. Clear the bar. Just go.
You too!
Now, Dan, please... Look, you pick your moments. Get out!
OK, ladies and gents, we have to close up.
There's a small emergency, but nothing to panic about.
But anytime today would be good. Thank you.
There's a gas leak.
Could you make your way out now, please? Thank you.
Where's Dan? He's turning the gas off.
Come on, Dan. How long does it take?
OK, guys, come on. Thank you.
(COUGHS) Come on. Out, out, out, out, out.
Right, guys, move outside. Call the fire brigade, ambulance, whatever.
Robbie! You call. I'm helping.
Are you mad?! We're only gonna be in the way. Come on, Yvonne!
(COUGHS)
No. Dan.
OK, Dan. OK. Look, you're gonna be fine, OK? You're gonna be fine.
Now, right, I've gotta go, but I'm not leaving you.
I'm coming right back. Coming right back.
OK. OK, man.
Listen, I've gotta ♪get you out of here. OK?
I've gotta get you out. OK. OK.
Here we go. (GROANS) Good man, Dan. That's it.
Good man. Stay with me. Here we go.
One, two, three.
We were stopping at the garage to see you.
Yeah, well, I wasn't going to leave without her saying goodbye.
Now, I'll be expecting lots of letters.
Emails. Maybe the odd letter, what?
Thanks. This is so nice. Definitely different.
I'm not finished yet. Now, you see this?
That was your gran's.
Come here.
Thanks, Granddad. I'm gonna miss you.
Yeah, look, time to get going.
You don't make it easy. I've tried, time and again.
Yeah, well, you don't have to any more.
Here. I got a loan in the Credit Union. It's a few hundred quid.
No, thanks.
It's for a deposit, so you can get a place to live near Juliet.
Take it. It's for her.
Don't let that child down, you hear?
Mr and Mrs Ferguson?
Yes. We're here to identify...
Our son Neil. They told us that...
I understand. I'm Stephen, the liaison officer.
Stephen, Pete. Hello.
Hello.
I know how difficult this is.
They're very trying circumstances. I'm here to offer any help I can.
Where is he?
I'd advise you to take a few moments. I'll make the arrangements.
We take things in your time. OK?
OK. OK. Thank you.
I have him. Let me.
Could you give us some air, please?! How is he? Dan?
Go easy on him.
The ambulance is on its way.
You've already proven you're an idiot. Are you completely clueless?
You're not supposed to move him. I had to.
I couldn't risk the ceiling coming down on him.
You could have made his injuries a lot worse.
Look, I had to make a decision, I made it. Now back off!
How long does it take for an ambulance?
Clar, coming after me was never gonna change anything.
A cancelled wedding doesn't have to mean it's all over.
So you're telling me that's it? We're wrong for each other.
So it's better to face it now
than drag ourselves through a messy divorce down the line.
How can you be so cold? (SCOFFS)
Just, er, just putting the kettle on. No, no. It's OK. I'll do it.
Go on back in. Eavesdropping, were you?
Enjoying the show?
Clar, this conversation is over. You heard her.
We can work this out. No, we can't.
Nicola, please. You got your answer.
So come on, you're not welcome any more.
But she is?
You're making a show of yourself. It's not your business.
You made it my business when you ran out on her.
Nicola was devastated when she turned up here.
I ran out on her? Is that what she told you?
She lied. She played you just like she played me.
When you're ready, I'll get them to draw the curtain.
The body is covered with the face exposed.
Just so you're prepared, there will be a small amount of discolouration,
but there are no facial injuries.
I can't do this.
We have to. Yeah.
OK. OK.
That's not Neil.
That's not him. That's not our son. (GASPS)
It's not him.
For a second, I thought... I'm sorry.
It's OK. Come here. It's OK. It's alright.
It's not him, OK? Not him. It's not him, OK?
I know. I didn't want to let myself hope.
How did he get Neil's things? Neil could still be in London.
He probably is.
We can get on top of this from Dublin, through the Guards.
No, I need to be in London. I know you have to go back.
Look, I'm not gonna let you do this by yourself, OK?
I'm gonna stay with you. Alright? We'll find him.
Oh...
OK, come on, let's get out of here.
I had to move him. I didn't want to. I just weighed up the risks.
OK. (BOTH) Thanks.
Yvonne!
I heard there was an explosion, you weren't answering your phone.
Yeah, it was in the cellar.
Dan was the only one down there. We're all fine.
I've room for one more! I'll go.
No, I don't think so. I'm not asking.
Where's your cab? Come on.
(SIREN)
So, you know, who's the dumper, who's the dumpee?
It's the same thing in the end.
It still doesn't explain why you had to lie about it.
Running up here with your broken heart.
Oh, far from broken, Clar, believe you me.
We're talking here. Did he comfort you?
Oh, please. Well, at least your imagination is in working order.
I'm glad something is. Goodbye, Clar.
I hope you're happy together.
I'd stay out of Mallow.
What was that about? That was Clar being Clar.
Not good enough.
Er, they've rushed him in for scans. They're talking brain trauma
and, er, possible internal injuries.
When will we know? Is there anyone we can talk to?
Just stop with the 20 questions. You know as much as I know.
And they're not really sure of anything just yet.
Well, what was he like in the ambulance?
Robbie?
Unconscious. He never came round.
Alright? Alright?
Yeah, me da just rang. It's not Neil.
Ah, man, I'm so happy for you. That's great, man.
Great news.
Hey. Hey.
I'm just off the phone to Pete. Yeah.
I had such a bad feeling, Dolores.
I'm sorry for moaning. I just... I was convinced.
But look, he's still missing. We still don't know.
Let's try to take the positive.
Yeah, Pete and Jackie are staying over for a few days to look for him.
Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna head, right? See youse. OK. See ya.
See you later. Bye, Ama.
Well, first the good news, then the bad.
It must've been hard for you to hear.
Ah, if Pete had known about me, he'd have come home. Yeah.
Keeping this from him isn't fair on either of us.
Ma, you alright? What?
Oh, yeah, no, it's just relief. I'm grand.
Now, listen, he wants to go to his daddy, don'tcha?
Come on, big man. There's a big fella.
(LAUGHS) Here we go.
Wayne deserves a chance to help out too, you know.
Mm-hmm.
OK, thanks. Thanks, Sean.
They're just checking for any structural damage to The Station.
They're not 100%,
but they're pretty sure there were some frayed wires in the wall.
Bad electrics and the gas build up in the cavity.
It's what probably caused the explosion.
It's your fault.
You'd think they'd send some word.
They will when there is any. I'm going to find out.
Look, if they're not telling me anything, they won't talk to you.
I'll say I'm his fiancee.
I am so, so sorry.
Look, this should be something that we'd have a laugh about someday.
I could've died in that cellar.
Jack could have been without a mother.
You're sorry?
Go in and tell Dan that.
Thank you, that'd be great. OK.
Alright, we'll see you shortly. Thank you very much. Thank you.
The police officers will be here soon to talk to us.
Good.
I, er, got us a hotel in Bayswater.
Today would've been the first time I saw him in years.
In that room.
Who is he?
I don't know my son.
Neither do I.
We haven't really got on since he was a teenager.
I know we've very little chance of finding him, but I owe him this.
When he turns up, I'm going to make a real effort, Jackie.
I want Neil and me to be close.
At least his parents will be pulling together.
I feel so guilty, you know?
I just let him drift away.
Look what it's taken for us to realise.
We could've been planning a funeral today.
It's a tough wake up call. Yeah.
Yeah, well... I'm gonna take this chance.
I'm gonna find Neil and... be a proper father to my sons.
You have another life too, Pete.
If things had gone the way they were supposed to,
you'd be married now.
Yeah, well, Dolores will understand.
This has to be my priority.
And you rolled up here like some damsel in distress,
looking for shelter.
Oh, well, now, you just loved pulling the big He-Man pose.
My big protector.
Your man Clar has left here with the impression
that me and you are sleeping together.
He's not going to take out an ad in the Evening Echo.
Well, I want you to pick up that phone and put him straight.
Paul, I don't ever want to hear his voice again.
You were going to marry the guy. Was. Now, can we just drop it?
Because Clar has taken up as much of my life as he is going to.
Easy come, easy go. You've a hard heart.
You know that is not true.
Look, the closer I came to marrying Clar...
..the more I realised that I didn't love him.
There was no real passion between us.
Not like there was with you and I.
It finally hit me, I still have feelings for you.
Just like that? After all this time?
My God, you're priceless, you know that?
So I came here.
I wanted to see if there was any chance that you felt the same.
I don't.
If I thought that... I think I'd have left after day one.
I've been honest.
It's your turn.
That wasn't meant to happen. Oh, yes, it was.
Are you sure you won't stay for another one?
I'm going to the hospital.
Well, look, I hope it works out OK.
Look, if he was seriously injured, we'd know. Bad news travels fast.
I mean, you leave the army to get blown up in a pub.
I mean, how weird is that?
Michael, quit slacking. I own you for the next five minutes.
The joys of being your own boss, huh?
From the man who whinges about working seven days a week.
Enjoy your weekend slaving, man. Some of us will be having fun.
Go on, leave whenever you want. Sound.
And listen, don't come back with a hangover, right?
Ray, look, I'm sorry you had to overhear all that stuff this morning.
But it needed saying.
Me and you, we're OK. I can't be dealing with Mondo.
Don't ever call my son a waster. You've called him worse.
You don't get to.
No, but... Finish your pint.
Thanks very much.
Hey.
Wayne, er, I've been keeping something from you.
Can we go in the back?
Well, what is it? Please, love, come on.
No, hang on. You're freaking me out. What is it?
I just... I went for a routine check-up.
And? I don't want you to be worrying now, OK?
Well, I am worrying. What's wrong with you?
They found a lump and... I may have cancer.
You know, Michael is going to kill me.
We were supposed to be leaving ten minutes ago.
You are a bad influence. I really enjoyed today.
Me too. Right, I better let you go.
OK. Thanks.
Oh, God, you're welcome.
Do you know what, Rachel, why don't you go and get us
a burger and chips for the two of us?
You know, empty calories. No better way to end a day.
Are you sure Michael won't mind?
Yeah, no, it'll be fine. Here, you go get them.
Give us them. Thank you.
OK. See you in a minute.
Hey. Hi.
There was a reason I wanted to get on the road early.
It'll take forever to get on the motorway. Michael, I can't leave now.
I want to have a meal with Rachel. We'll get there, just later.
Why are you doing this?
Because today was really special, we got on great.
Sure, you can eat any time you want with Rachel.
Three meals a day if you want. Be reasonable.
Why don't you head now? I'll join you first thing in the morning.
You won't be late, and all I'll miss is the drinking session.
This was supposed to mean something. Remember?
Michael, please don't be like that. Well, how about this?
You either come now, or you don't come at all.
Are you serious? I don't do ultimatums.
I, erm...
Actually, you know, I think I should just say nothing right now.
(LAUGHS) What, like, pretend that didn't happen?
Well, I certainly didn't find it very forgettable.
Very memorable, actually. Is right, then, yeah?
(CHUCKLES)
(CLEARS THROAT)
Niamh. I thought it was Rachel.
Yeah.
Er, no, she's... gone to get us chips.
I'm... I'm sorry, I probably should've knocked.
Yes, Niamh, you probably should have.
Excuse me?
Well, I'm sure you wouldn't like it
if Paul let himself into your flat day in, day out.
But where are my manners? It's not for me to say, obviously.
No, you're right, it's not.
Rachel's party gear.
Erm, can I get you a coffee, maybe? Or something stronger?
No, thank you, Nicola. Can you tell Rachel I had to go?
Did she cop? What do you think?
How are you now? I miss him.
Oh, that's good. It's a start.
But if he's to walk through the door right now, my heart would sink.
Cos I know it'd only be a matter of time before he'd disappoint me.
That's what Mondo does.
Pete wouldn't stay in London unless there was hope of finding Neil.
When, though? I wanna see my brother.
Ma, if there's anything I can do, you tell me, alright?
I want to be there for you, OK? And you should've known that.
I told Orla not to say a word. I haven't even told Pete yet.
I didn't want to ruin Christmas for everyone. It was Junior's first.
And then there was all this stuff with Neil.
Ma, will you stop thinking about other people?
You have to start thinking about yourself now. Do you hear me?
I will. Good.
That means taking it easy and letting us help you.
Exactly. Whatever it takes to beat this, do you hear me?
Dolores, loads of women get lumps.
I did, and look how stressed out I was.
And it turned out that it was nothing.
Yeah. You can't assume that this is cancer.
I wish Pete was here.
Dan's stable. On the ventilator.
Stable's good, though.
Yvonne?
What are you not saying?
They got the results of the scans back.
What exactly did the doctor say?
Yvonne. Stop crowding her.
Extensive spinal damage.
He might never walk again.
And that's if he wakes up at all. (SOBS)
