You really didn't have to walk me to work.
It's on my way.
Sorry we had to sneak out this morning.
The less my sister knows, the better. Look...
No, no. Let's not do that. It was what it was, OK?
Nobody needs to know. Carol, you mean?
All I'm saying is, let's just keep it between the two of us.
Better cancel my interview with the local press, though.
If it works out for them, happy days.
If it doesn't, that's their problem.
And you'll be there to pick up the pieces?
If I have to.
For who? Dan or Carol?
Well, Dan is the priority right now. Yeah.
Leo asked me to go to Berlin with him. The dates don't suit.
I'm gonna have to tell him.
Kinda ruined his surprise.
I'd love someone to take me away.
Between me and you, he's getting a bit clingy.
Weekends away and everything.
Is that why you're not going? No.
But he can't be making decisions for me.
It's not like we're married. You could do a lot worse than Leo.
Yeah. He's nice. He just needs to loosen up.
Don't worry. I'll soon sort that. (CHUCKLES)
Cheers. Hey, love.
Hey, Ma.
Eoghan's going to Rose's on Sunday.
I'll be at a loose end if you want to meet up.
You're not tapping along? I saw her two weeks ago. That'll do.
Your mum's very worried about you.
No point pretending. So, how are you?
Thank you, Paula.
Sometimes families need a bit of a push.
We are fine on that front.
Sorry, love. She means well.
I talked to Niamh last night. We had a good chat.
What's that mean? Just a blip, that's all.
Did she say that? I'm handling it, alright?
I tried calling, but the phone was ringing out.
He's fine. He's coping very well.
Better than Doug. You must be delighted.
Yeah. Yeah, it's going well.
We didn't turn up last night. I hope he's not in a sulk.
Don't worry. He's grand.
I'm not used to living with him, I suppose.
Relax. Here he is. Getting my shot of Vitamin C in the morning.
So where were you, then? Out.
And that explains it all? Do you want details?
No. But you might send your mother a text next time.
Sure. It'll say, "I'm out."
I'm off. I'll see you. Bye, Dolores.
See you.
Sorry. I didn't mean to be on your case.
Like you ever cared where I was before.
It was a couple of weeks ago we were over in London,
identifying bodies from the Thames, thinking it might be you.
Good thing I can swim.
Relax. You don't expect me to tell you where I am all the time, do you?
There's plenty of candles on my birthday cakes nowadays.
I wasn't going sit in the pub all night, waiting.
I had to work. They didn't give me much notice.
Don't stress over it. We'll do something later instead.
All of us. Do you want some? No, thanks.
Here. Cheers. Thanks. See you.
Hi. By the way, Ruth was asking for you this morning.
Is she OK? Yeah.
She wanted me to do her hair in plaits, the way you do it.
She ended up throwing the brush at the wall.
I'm sorry. I told her you'd see her later on.
But I have a meeting later.
If you want to pick her up from the creche...
Yeah, I'd like that. Thank you. Great.
See you. Alright. I'll see you later.
Can you just give me a second? Yeah, of course.
That's all I need. Do you want to go somewhere else?
Not that I think that's a good idea.
You can't keep running out of places just cos she's there.
You're right.
Michael is under the impression there's a future for the two of you.
Well, it's definitely over. I made it very clear.
Where did he get that idea from? I don't know, Debbie.
Do we have to do this here? Oh, am I making a show of you?
I wouldn't want to do that.
Look, why couldn't you just leave him alone?
I really wish that it had worked out. But it didn't.
I never meant to hurt him, Debbie.
Well, then, do the decent thing. Make him see that it is over.
That's it. All our suppliers now know that you're the boss.
So don't let them take advantage, OK?
If anyone's late with the delivery... Kick up a fuss.
I'm actually quite good at that.
I've booked my flights and I spoke to Adele.
There's a position going
in a restaurant just outside San Sebastian.
Great. When are you leaving? Tuesday.
It still gives us plenty of time to get you sorted.
I'd better make sure your shifts are covered.
I've done that. You might want another part-timer.
So my social life doesn't disappear completely.
Are you sure you're OK with this? Yeah. Of course.
Anyway, it was my idea.
What about Da, though? He's not going to be happy.
I'll talk to him. Nearer the time.
What, when you're getting in a taxi?
I hate goodbyes.
I'll get this. Hey. How are you doing?
Busy, you know? So, you were with him last night?
Sorry? How was he?
I thought we could compare notes. What do you mean?
He's all gung-ho to start this physio. What do you reckon?
Well, he's certainly being very optimistic.
Dan's a fighter. He thinks he can feel his legs.
If he thinks he can, I'm not one to argue.
He's not suddenly going to start walking again.
You don't know that. He can't feel his legs, Carol.
He's pretending. And so are you. About a lot of things.
Not this again. I don't know why I bother.
You're getting his hopes up.
Dolores is resting now, so keep your voice down.
I want everyone to come to ours later.
I'm cooking. Call it an apology dinner.
Not tonight. I don't think Dolores has the energy for it.
The energy for what? Sorry for disturbing you.
You didn't. I was never one for sleeping in the afternoon anyway.
I want you and my da, Wayne, Orla and the baby
to come to ours for dinner tonight.
That's very nice of you, Neil, but I'm not feeling up to it.
But you go, Pete.
I could go home and bring it round here. I'll make it healthy.
I don't think so. There won't be any washing up.
Neils-on-wheels.
I don't mind. See?
The lady of the house has spoken. See you later.
Yeah. See you, love.
Are you sure you're up to this?
It's good for you, having your son around.
I'm gonna go lie down again, OK?
Would you get me a glass of water? Yeah. I'll bring it into you.
Hey. Alright?
You on lunch? Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
What I said about Niamh, I shouldn't have.
You're worried about her. I am too.
Yeah, but I don't want you to take it the wrong way.
She's sad. There's no shame in that, Rachel.
That's not what I mean. It's OK. I'll talk to her.
I don't think that's a good idea.
This is complicated stuff, OK? I don't expect you to understand.
Do you want to invite Ama as part of the extended family?
You know my philosophy in life. Variety.
Don't get stuck with one bird. It's a prison sentence.
Yeah. I don't see it like that. That's cos you're a big softie.
Ah, yeah, under this well hard exterior.
Come here. What was the French birds like?
Special breed. They go mad for the cheeky Irish charm.
Yeah? Do you miss it? It got too crazy, even for me.
What about you? You must have wet yourself when Ma showed up.
I didn't even want to see her at first. It was too freaky.
Good thing it wasn't Halloween. But I understand now.
She had to leave in case she did something she regretted.
Sounds serious. It is.
Don't feel too sorry for her. She still walked out on us.
You don't know, do you?
Forget it. Come on, spill.
No. It doesn't matter. Why did you bring it up, then?
You just don't know how bad things got.
Let's get our violins out. People get depressed. It's sad.
She nearly drove off the pier. She should have been more careful.
On purpose. With me and you in the back.
She tried to drown us? It was the day she left.
She didn't trust herself any more. Do you not remember it?
I remember going to the beach. (CHUCKLES) It's not funny, Neil.
It's hilarious.
I mean, you hear people bringing their kids swimming,
but that's going a bit far.
Vroom, vroom, splash.
Right. Get a move on. Chop-chop.
I thought you were going to the library. I couldn't face it.
Are you hungry? No, I was in Vinos.
I could have made you something to eat.
I saw Michael. When are you going to tell him?
He still thinks you're going to get back with him.
What was he doing talking to you about it?
I spoke to him, because I told him you were upset.
Rachel, I'm sorry, but that's not appropriate.
Why?
Oh, I don't believe this. I do not have a crush on Michael.
I can't believe I ever did. It is nearly as pathetic as you.
Right, well, thank you for that.
Just tell him what he needs to know. He's finding it hard to let go.
Rachel, I wish I could just snap my fingers
and everything go back to the way it was before.
You mean before Michael? Yeah. Before Michael.
How are you doing? I did some more research.
Top 10 rehab centres in the States. Good.
The things they're doing over there, they're way ahead. Look.
They've managed to regrow nerves in rats
that link the spinal cord to the brain.
It just goes to show there's a lot we don't know about. Rats.
Hey. What's going on? Discussing Dan's options.
I don't believe this. Who asked you?
I wonder why. Cos I won't go along with a bunch of lies.
Yvonne. Dan needs to have a rest, alright?
You need to start listening to the doctors, Dan.
What are you now? Some kind of expert?
We've done some research. 20 minutes on the internet.
Very scientific. Now isn't the time, Yvonne.
In six months' time, he's gonna need strong people around him.
Not a bunch of liars. What are you saying?
Dan, You have no feeling in your legs,
despite what you're telling yourself.
You were here. We did a test. I didn't touch you.
Don't listen to her. He's going to get better, alright?
He's going to work harder than anyone else. Just stop.
Yvonne, you've got no right. What does she mean, "liars"?
You're not wanted here.
You have to stop pretending that he's going to walk again.
You really need to get over this.
He deserves to know the truth. About everything.
The longer you leave it, the harder it's going to be.
Tell me what? It's nothing.
It's just Yvonne stirring it again. Yeah, and she's leaving.
I want to know. Why won't you look at me?
I wanted it to be true. I wish it was.
I didn't know what to say, so I said it back.
When you said that you loved me.
You said... Are you saying you don't love me?
I care about you. I really do.
Carol.
It doesn't mean I won't be here for you.
It's because of the accident.
No. That's not the reason. Yvonne, please.
She's in love with Robbie.
It has nothing to do with your injury.
I don't know anything about this. Look, I can explain.
I couldn't stand seeing them take you for a fool.
Please, Dan.
Dan. Just go.
Both of you.
Ah, thanks, Pete.
Yeah, so Junior's trying to go up on all fours at the moment.
It's so cute. (Wayne) He is very advanced.
Doug didn't walk for ages.
He just bummed around on his backside. Remember that?
Neil, on the other hand, was on his feet at 11 months.
I was probably trying to get away from you.
So, is the food ready?
I'm just waiting on the garlic bread. Don't be so impatient.
You have to watch her. She has a tendency to bolt.
Yeah, well, I'd like to take this opportunity
to welcome back Neil and, of course, Jackie.
Yes. You're very welcome. Thank you.
Isn't that lovely, Ma?
Everyone having a drink on us, the lost souls returned.
Right, well, can we eat now? I'm starving.
Good idea. Neil. One last thing.
Thanks for not driving off that pier with me and Doug in the back seat.
That was a close one. What is wrong with you?
What's the big deal? Sorry, did I ruin the buzz?
I though everyone knew. I mean, Doug knows.
I'm sorry.
You see? I told you. She's a bolter.
Now, who's hungry?
Bad timing.
Very bad.
I couldn't do that to him.
Makes two of us.
Dan has to come first.
Agreed.
But I don't want to lose you again.
What's there to lose? We can't. You just said it yourself.
I have to get along, though, OK?
For Dan's sake.
Here they are. Hi, sweetheart!
Daddy. How are you?
Will you sit down? No, I won't.
I have to go. I've got things to do.
I can take Ruth more if it suits you. Yeah, no problem.
I could do without plaiting her hair every morning, couldn't I?
Alright. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
Keep an eye on Ruth for a sec, will you? Yeah.
Won't be long.
Niamh? Are you alright?
It's... It's Michael.
He thinks there's a chance that we could get back together.
Right.
I've told him that it's over, but he's not listening to me.
I'm sorry it didn't work out.
(SCOFFS) Would you come on?
No, I am. I mean, after everything you've given up.
But you never know. Maybe you can get past it.
Like us. We got over it, didn't we?
Yeah. Yeah, no, we did. I'm going to go. I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah.
I would have preferred colour-coded. Don't push it.
It's basically when I do everything. Rotas, orders.
And it's really important to do the wages
before midnight the day before pay-day.
Da's waiting for you.
Bring us some calamari to start.
Are you filling him in, then?
We're having dinner. Yvonne.
I'll call him when I get to San Sebastian and I'll explain.
Right now, I just want to spend some time with my da.
Well, it's not every day I'm invited out by one of my daughters.
I'm sorry for doorstepping you. You didn't.
Michael, we need to talk.
Can I go first? Will you please listen to me?
You know the way you said it was over? I accept that.
If that's what you really want, I accept that.
Michael...
Do you remember how it was in the beginning?
Yeah. Yeah, of course I do.
We hit a rocky patch, that's all.
No. I'm sorry. It's more than that.
We never gave it a proper chance, you know that.
I love you. And I know you love me.
Just not enough.
You don't know until we try.
Michael, I'm sorry. I don't have any feelings for you.
Not any more.
It's over.
I'm sorry.
You'll get through this.
You'll get through this, I know you will.
I shouldn't be here. I'm sorry for barging in.
You didn't barge in. Michael, will you wait? This is all my fault.
I should never have walked into that hotel bar.
There you go. I don't want it.
I think it's itchy on her.
We're gonna have to get you a new one, will we?
I think so.
I hope Niamh's OK.
Michael's the one who came out worse.
Yeah, but she's got nothing now.
She has you girls. She has Callum.
She says she wishes things would go back to the way they were.
Come on, Ruth.
Thanks. I brought you your dinner.
Two minutes in the microwave should do it.
What? I should have never told you.
I'm sorry, Ma, alright? I was only having a laugh.
Yeah. At my expense.
Nobody cared. It was years ago. I don't know why you never told me.
Is that why you did it? Because I didn't tell you?
Don't be stupid. It's nothing compared to the other stuff you did.
What is that supposed to mean? You gave me drugs.
I never gave you drugs. You took them.
It doesn't matter now, anyway.
If I had known you were helping yourself to my meds,
I'd have stopped you, which is exactly what I did do.
Are you still using? Am I still using?
Well, are you? I'm not some pill popper.
One's enough in the family.
I'm on the right medication now, so it's under control.
I can get on with my life.
So it's safe to get back in the car with you again?
Listen, lighten up. I'll stick this in the micro for you.
(SNIFFS)
I, erm... I just saw Michael leave there.
Niamh. Are you alright? Yeah.
I don't think there's going to be any confusion as to where we stand now.
You know what, Paul?
Part of me actually wishes that it had worked out.
Like you said. I had given up so much.
Yeah. We all make mistakes. Not this big, we don't.
No point beating yourself up over this now.
Thanks for being here. I appreciate it.
You know...
Believe it or not, I don't like seeing you upset.
The main thing is, it's over now. Yeah.
Come here.
Sorry. It was a force of habit. Sorry.
Look, don't overreact. It was nothing.
Why are you really here, Paul?
Just checking in on you.
Do you think now that me and Michael are over,
I'm going to pack up and come home with you?
Wait a second. Wait a second.
No. I think you should go. I'm sorry. Just go. Please.
You know, for what it's worth,
people wouldn't think anything less of you if you did come home.
I can't go back.
Yes, you can. If you really want to.
All you've got to do is walk down that street. It's easy.
And straight back into your bed?
We can take it slow.
Paul, I can't be with you like that.
Then you'd better sort your head out, alright?
Finish up inside, will you? Thanks.
Dan won't see me now. Are you proud of yourself, are you?
We're closing up.
You're a heartless witch. You said that before.
Put it on a T-shirt and give it to me next Christmas.
The only person that you hurt today was Dan.
And the only person who really cares about him is me.
Now you and Robbie can do what you want. You should be thanking me.
You're wrong about me and Robbie. There's nothing going on.
You should think before you go shooting your mouth off.
So you're not into him? Not even a bit.
Then you won't mind that I slept with him last night.
Just sort of happened. You know how it is.
You didn't sleep with Robbie. So I'm lying now?
Come on, Carol. You know me better than that.
I'll tell you one thing for Robbie.
He's a hard man to say no to when he wants something.
