Son, listen to me, I still think it's a bad decision.
I told you, it's not your kind of place. It's grey. It's dull.
Look, tell them you've changed your mind.
You've got a fortnight before you're supposed to start.
That's plenty of time for them to find someone else.
Yeah, but look, er, take care.
Can we talk? No.
What happened with Ava? Especially not about Ava.
I thought we might clear the air.
If you want to clear the air then get the hell away from me.
Sean? Sean.
This is the second morning this week.
And I heard you come in. It was four o'clock.
What are you, me ma? I'm worried about you.
Just leave me alone, Ama.
Sure. Except we share a house.
And I'm tired of seeing this place in a mess.
Alright then, I'll clear it up.
I'm tired of coming downstairs and seeing you passed out on the sofa.
I fell asleep.
Do you plan on staying drunk for the rest of your life?
So you'll never have to think about Christy?
You don't know what I'm thinking.
You think about Max. You go on about him.
"It's his fault." It's no-one's fault Sean.
He panicked. Why?
It was Christy. I wouldn't have.
You don't know. You weren't there. I should have been.
Ama, I should have been there.
Don't do this to yourself.
When someone dies there's unfinished business.
What I should have said. What I should have done.
You feel these things and then you deal with it.
Not this. This is stupid.
Thanks, Farrah. Have you seen Sean?
Not since the other night, no. I hope he's alright.
That stuff about Max, he didn't mean it. Not really.
He's looking for a reason why my da died.
I understand, I feel like screaming, too.
Yeah.
So, what are people saying? Do they believe it about Max?
Could you blame them? How could someone just walk away?
People think it's weird. You know? I do. So does he.
He feels so guilty about it.
But mostly I just think about Christy. I'm just sorry he's gone.
Are people saying anything about me?
Please.
People just wonder why you don't do something.
Either support your man, or throw him out, or... Or what?
Are you scared? Of Max? No, I'm not.
Look, I'll see you, I've got to get this.
See ya.
Hello...?
So, anyway, I said to Dolores, I can do you a fabulous makeover
and it's not whether you want to go out, it'll be a bit of fun.
Louise is going to be my model. Guinea pig more like.
No, I can different looks on Louise then Dolores can pick.
I don't want to be tiring her out.
Yeah... How was the man hunt?
Kerri-Ann let me down big time.
What are you talking about? The guy chatting you up.
He had a girlfriend. How do you know?
They were kissing.
It was a nightclub. You could at least have given it a go.
Louise... He was gorgeous.
Yeah? What was the problem?
I have, like, morals. We'll put that on your headstone.
She died alone, but she had, like, morals.
(chuckles) That's terrible. Let's go.
See ya. See ya.
Can I just ask? Renee. Why did you change your name?
Or was it your brother changed his?
I was in England, trying to earn a living. Bob Charles sounded better.
Bob Charles, Anglo-Irish gent.
So, you're Bob Cawley?
Bobbie.
Young Bobbie Cawley.
Northside Dub.
Who was Ava?
If he's still angry after all these years, she must have been some woman.
His wife. Oh.
So, there's nothing much to talk about, is there?
That pretty much says it all.
You think so?
We were in love.
Thought we were. She thought we were.
But you didn't?
Well, not enough to take her with me.
I had my fortune to earn. No room for anyone else.
So, I left. Moved to England. Became Bob Charles.
She went back to Jim. When was this?
Thirty years ago, early Eighties.
And that was it? That was the last contact with Jim?
Or her.
I tried to get in touch a few times. She never replied.
I wonder if she showed up here now... Would you like that?
To see her again?
Yeah. Yes, I would.
Ava.
OK now, Dolores, you're not comfortable about going out, are you?
Because of how you look. Kerri-Ann, relax, would you?
No, it's alright. Yes, maybe that's shallow of me.
No, how you look is important because it affects how you feel.
For instance, Ama said I should try going out without any make-up.
So I did. Disaster. Yeah?
Frank the guard couldn't get away fast enough.
Because you weren't wearing make-up?
Or maybe I was acting weird, because I felt naked, like, cosmetically.
Or because the guy's an eejit? No, he was nice before that.
Have you not asked him about it? I haven't spoke to him since.
And why would you? He's the one that ran off, he should talk to you.
He didn't run. He should at least explain himself.
I was saying to Kerri-Ann she should find somebody else.
What about Decco? What about him?
You seem to get on well.
Dolores, we've been through this. He has a crush on her.
Louise. And she has a crush on him.
Ah, God love him. Kerri-Ann, would you not give him a chance?
He has a girlfriend. And Kerri-Ann has morals.
Shut up. Hayley and she's nice. That's a shame.
Anyway, we are here to do a make-up session. So, can I get on with it?
Go for it.
Hi.
Those cheques you have to sign.
Don't shout at me, I'm only doing my job.
Why would I shout at you?
Because you did the other day. The first time I asked you to sign them?
Sorry, my memory, it's a bit shot at the moment, but It'll get better.
What was I shouting about?
Getting a lawyer. Suing Robbie.
Yup. That's nothing to do with you. I know.
Anyway, a bit of shouting? You should be used to it.
I thought you were tougher than that. I'm your boss.
Except you're usually fair about it. Life isn't fair, is it though?
If I'd never come to Carrigstown, never bought the bar,
never went into that basement. I wouldn't be here, would I?
If you hadn't, Carol and Yvonne wouldn't be here.
You saved their lives. Yeah, well, it wasn't worth it.
I actually think that sometimes.
What kind of man am I?
The kind of man who saves people's lives.
I think that, everybody thinks that. Except you, seemingly.
And what you thought. That isn't terrible.
It makes sense. Anybody would think that.
Anyway, give me those cheques, I'll sign and you can get out of here.
That's not going to work, is it? No.
Can you forge my signature?
Sure. Write it down, I'll copy it.
What are we going to do?
You could get me a coffee.
I'm still your boss.
Yeah. At least you're not shouting. Yet.
How are you? Is Sean here?
I just want to talk to him. Sean?
How is he? He hasn't been around. He's finding things a bit rough.
Yeah. So, don't give him a hard time.
He's been doing that enough to himself.
I won't. We should all go a little easy on ourselves. Yes.
I'll give you some privacy.
I was worried about you.
What I'd get up to next?
No, about you. How you were. People haven't seen you lately.
Keeping myself to myself.
Are you going to keep doing that?
That's why you're here? You're not worried about me.
I'm worried about us all, Sean. What this has been doing to us.
The stuff you said about Max, people think I'm part of it.
No. Why wouldn't they?
He's my husband, we're together.
Maybe they think I wanted me da gone so I could get the shop.
You thought it. When you first heard what Max did.
Yeah, I was crazy.
So you know the you're saying about Max, you're wrong.
He screwed up. But everybody screws up sometimes. Don't they?
Yeah. Just give us all a break, let us get on with our lives.
Try to, please? OK.
Really? Yeah.
Thank you.
Farrah?
Sorry.
Talk to him.
And say what?
Think of something.
I just realised. It didn't register before,
but this new locum? He's your son?
You have a son?
Who told you?
Ama. Am I not supposed to know that your son is coming here?
Not if I can help it. What does that mean?
It's bad enough me meeting you. I don't want him to.
What's his name? None of your damn business.
You won't even tell me your son's name?
Does he know mine? Does he even know I exist?
Uncle Bobbie? Why would I talk about you?
Does Ava talk about me? Get out of my way.
Is this what Ava would want? You and me? Like this.
What Ava would want doesn't matter. Why don't you ask her?
Because she's dead.
Ava's dead.
What happened?
For God's sake, Jim, what happened?
We were in Indonesia. I was working there.
She got meningitis.
When?
1988.
Oh, Bob.
Can I ask you something? Go ahead.
What's it like? I mean, can you feel anything?
If you don't want to talk about it...
A simple no would have done.
When you figured out what to do about those cheques, let me know, yeah?
Thanks for coming, for staying.
When my dad was in hospital, erm, it was like he was a different person.
I mean, he'd had a nervous breakdown, but still, it freaked me out.
I was scared that you were gonna be different.
This looks pretty different to me.
But you're still you. I don't know if that's such a good thing.
It is. Because you're a good guy.
That is great. Is it?
Did you not look in the mirror?
I did. It looks fantastic. I didn't want to say.
You have to say. When you look good, you have to know you look good.
And how do you feel? You're right. I feel great.
And that outfit is terrific with it.
Ladies, sorry to disturb...
Ah, look at you! Come here to me.
You look beautiful. It was Kerri-Ann.
No, it's you. I just bring out what's there.
What about me, huh? Ah now, Pete, she can't work miracles.
Really? An attitude and a make-over, I like that.
You go, girl.
We should go out. All of us. You'd be like a walking advert for me.
Will we?
Ah, I don't know about that. Sure, why not?
Sure you're up to it, love? Yeah, I feel great.
You're just over that chest infection.
Yes, over it. So stop fussing. I want to go out.
McCoy's? Or what about The Station? There's a younger crowd.
Kerri-Ann is looking for a man. I'm not going looking for a man.
I'm just going to let whatever happens happen. It's Karma.
(CHUCKLES)
Hi, Jim. Ama.
You Bob that my son was new locum after I specifically told you not to.
I did not. He just said that you did.
Oh, sorry. I just mentioned it, in passing.
But that was before you said not to tell him. It's not my fault.
Why were you gossiping in the first place? I was not gossiping.
Why don't you talk to him?
He has no family apart from you. And your son.
Bob had a son. Did you know that?
No. Had?
He died. Drowned.
He was only a child. Bob has never really gotten over it.
Everyone has tragedy in their lives. That's why you need family.
Are you alright? What's wrong? I went to see Sean.
What did you say to him? That you made a mistake. That everybody does.
You feel bad about it but you deserve a break. He agreed.
Do you? We're not even sharing a bed.
I've tried to explain it. I didn't mean it, it just happened. Please.
You have to believe me.
I do believe you.
Because I did the same. I just reacted without thinking.
When I saw him lying there, it was just for a second,
but I was relieved. That's alright, love.
No. That I was better off. Shh.
How could I think that? Shh, it's alright.
How can I have thought that?
It's natural. It's a natural reaction. I thought the same.
Like you. I mean, just for a moment.
What kind of people are we?
We're just people, trying to do our best.
But, like you said it, we make mistakes.
But it's good that we can tell each other.
I suppose.
Yes. Because I love you.
You were saying about Karma? Yeah, I noticed.
Well? Do you think I should go over?
No. An apology, or at least an explanation?
What are you talking about? Girl stuff.
Yeah? Do you want the male perspective? Go on then.
I'm sitting with the best-looking girl in the place,
so I don't care. Oh, that's lovely.
Are you feeling alright? Yeah, I feel good. Good.
Dolores is looking great. Yeah.
I'm with her. You put on a bit of make-up, you get out, face the world.
You can't run away.
Come on, Bob. Talk to me. What is there to talk about?
Ava?
She never replied.
He should have told me.
If she had lived she might have brought bring you and him together.
She still might.
Hi. Are you meeting Hayley?
No, not tonight.
When you see her, say hello from me.
I'm not sure when I'll be - Frank, I haven't seen you in a while.
I didn't think you'd want to. Oh?
I kept meaning to apologise for running out.
I never seemed to get a chance and then I thought, I'd left it so long,
you'd probably just think I was an eejit.
No. I did wonder why you left. It was a work thing. An emergency.
A young lad, causing a row.
I know him so I didn't want to get him in trouble.
He was just upset, he'd lost someone close,
so I calmed him down, got him home. Sean?
I can't say. Garda business.
That was good of you.
Anyway, I'm sorry. Maybe I can make it up to you?
You could buy me a drink. I'd love to.
Would you like to join us? Great. Sure.
Hi, JD on ice, please.
This better be worth it. What does that mean?
You made it clear you didn't want to see us,
then you phone and ask us to come in?
Robbie, relax, will you. No way. I'm not at your beck and call.
I came in here because we're friends. Or are we?
Sometimes I think you saved me life.
Other sometimes I wish you hadn't.
That's just stupid.
I called my lawyer. What? Dan, please.
I have cheques to sign.
For the Station. Me and Caoimhe. I can't.
I... physically can't.
So, I need to give someone power of attorney.
Someone I trust. Is that OK with you?
Yeah. Right.
And Carol? I need clothes, bits and pieces.
Yeah. Just 'til I'm back on my -
..back in circulation.
Is that it? Yeah.
Oh, I didn't realise you had visitors.
Dan has a rehab session now. That's alright, we're going.
So, let me know, yeah? Bye.
OK. Let's do this. Seriously?
Because usually I bring you down and you just sit there.
I have a business to run, things to do. I can't be lying around.
I need to be getting back in action.
It's about time.
Jim.
I'm sorry for your trouble.
Can I even say that? Does it mean anything after all this time?
But I am sorry.
Ava was a wonderful woman.
Jim, please. It was so long ago now.
I heard you had a son who died.
Larry. And you never got over it.
You don't. Something like that.
So, the pain never goes away?
No. It doesn't.
I'm glad you feel that pain every day.
You deserve to.
