Max, you could be in luck after all.
Few jobs coming in, need an extra pair of hands.
Anything that's going, I'm definitely interested.
Well, if they go ahead, we'll take you on, see where we go from there.
Terrific, thanks, Pete.
Alright, listen, I'll be in contact with you. Yeah, see you.
Hi. Hiya.
I think he just offered me a job.
That's brilliant. See, it's all coming together!
We can really start planning our future now.
Oh, is he going to turn up everywhere I go?
Don't get into an argument.
Morning, Jim. Renee.
I hope you're feeling better. Why wouldn't I be?
You know exactly what she's talking about. Has that happened before?
It's a bit early for 20 questions. I bet it has.
Enjoy your day, Renee.
We both saw him, he was out of it, right? Stop antagonising him.
What if he's like that at work?
You can't go making accusations without proof.
Renee, can I talk to you? Oh, yeah, in a minute.
Look, leave it, Bob, he'll be gone soon.
I can't.
(LAUGHTER, SHRIEKING)
This is a work place, not a youth club for dysfunctional teenagers.
Why wasn't the ham taken out of the freezer? Oh, sorry.
And the dishwasher wasn't turned on last night.
I know, I'll do it now.
Hang on a second, actually.
Why am I paying two wages when we're barely ticking over,
no work is done and my stress level is through the roof? Point taken.
I don't care what this is, but you leave it outside my pub.
I'm not putting up with it. I don't care who it is, but one of you goes.
Hey, come on now. I'm not putting up with it.
Sure, you can't fire us for laughing.
OK, Jane, well then you're both on a warning. And sort out the kitchen.
Give us that.
I still haven't said anything yet to Farrah.
Well, do you not think you should?
She has her head set on starting a family.
I was hoping maybe you could,
I don't know, just bring it up with her, see how she reacts.
No. You're her husband. This is between you and Farrah.
We're just getting through the last few weeks.
Let her know how you feel. I can't. You have to.
You're confusing her and that's not fair.
And stop dragging me into this.
What? Er, nothing.
What's going on? You two need to talk.
Excuse me.
Farrah, I know I said I wanted a family.
And we will.
But I think if we had a kid now, it would be for all the wrong reasons.
Were you discussing that with my Ma?
It came up, that's all.
That's our private business. What, has she changed your mind?
I just don't think we're ready to do this now.
Can you get these over to me first thing?
Any chance you could do 4.00-6.00 Monday to Friday this week?
This week's tricky, I have my mocks.
Er, what about all day Saturday? I'm in Phelan's on Saturday.
Rachel's waiting for you. For what? I don't know.
Trying to have a conversation. I'll see if I can do Sunday in Phelan's.
I'll need more hours than that but can you get these back first?
Sure. Thanks.
Why would anyone want to work for Decco Bishop? (PAUL) Callum!
As opposed to your friendly boss(?)
Ray told me you cut your hand fixing a mate's car? It's nothing.
Don't use my garage to do favours.
I wasn't on your time. That's not the point.
Use your head, will ya?
Farrah, I'm sorry. What are you doing discussing this with me ma?
Our marriage is nothing to do with her. Will you just listen?
Having kids was a reason we got married. Yes. In New Zealand.
It was different over there. We had jobs, we had a home, we had a plan.
Everything's got so mixed up here. We had troubles in New Zealand, too.
Not like this. We've a business here, a place to live, no mortgage.
What exactly are you waiting for, Max?
You can't ignore that we have problems.
I thought we were sorting them out. We need more time.
A baby will just cover the cracks.
It sounds to me like you're getting cold feet.
Do you want out? Is that it? No, I do not want out.
I need to make sure we're ready for this.
So, you lied to me? I didn't think you meant straight away.
You did. You're twisting things now.
I don't know where I stand with you anymore.
I want more time before we lose each other for 20 years.
And that's what you think a family means?
No. I didn't mean... Maybe I'm wasting my time with you.
How do I know you'll ever be ready? We might never want the same things.
I just want us to be rock solid.
You don't know what you want, you keep changing your mind.
Fine, whatever. I don't even think I care anymore.
They're my own spanners, so bring them back to me? Yeah.
Don't want me to take a look? No, this should do it.
(loud bump)
Hey, are you alright?
Damned car. I'm used to an automatic.
How did you not see the bin?
What idiot left that on the road? It's pretty hard to miss.
It's just a scrape, that's all.
You're not fit to drive. I'm fine.
You don't look fine. Look, it's a bin.
You should not be driving. Be quiet, will you?
You're a bit dazed. Maybe have a coffee.
Better still, don't get back behind the wheel. Drop it now.
Do you need me to spell it out?
I'm sorry, is this bringing up unpleasant memories?
What are you talking about? Bob was in a bad car crash years ago.
Really? It was a terrible crash. The family were very worried.
Luckily, everything worked out well in the end.
OK, let's tidy up this bin.
I'll give you a hand with that. OK, take it easy.
I'm going to the pub for lunch. Welcome to join us if you like?
No, thanks.
Look at you, digging your heels in.
She only wants to lecture me.
Yeah. Two jobs and your mocks. Crazy woman.
I need the money for my year off. So you work your socks off
while sitting the hardest exams of your life? Something like that.
What if you don't get the points you need? I will.
While you take on all this extra work? You're not super human.
I am actually.
Why not go straight for paper that gives you the life you want?
That's what I'd do if I had the chance.
Are you ready for this?
I have to admit, I didn't sleep a wink.
My hair... We can wait.
No. Jim has talked me through what to expect as the sessions go on.
He's very straight and honest about it.
It'll be a relief not to see my hair on the pillow or in the sink. Yes.
Don't think I'm ready for the bare headed look.
What would people think in the salon?
Dolores, you do whatever makes you feel comfortable.
And it will grow back. Yeah.
Hair is the least of it, I suppose.
How are you? Oh, hi.
I asked Ama to come over. Oh, hi Ama. I just saw Jim.
I thought he was gone off for the day.
Well, not any more. He ran into a wheelie bin with the car.
No harm done. Bob was furious though. Is Jim OK?
Yeah, he's just a bit dazed.
I tell you something, there's some vibe between the two of them.
Er, Pete, Ama is here to shave my head. Oh, yeah.
We talked about it. Yeah, we did. It's the best thing.
Yeah.
My scalp's been very itchy and sensitive.
Don't worry, I'll be very careful.
I'll go and set up in the bathroom. Thanks, Ama.
I suppose I'm going to look really strange.
Come here.
You're a beautiful woman, Dolores.
Beautiful in every possible way and I always thought that.
I just want you well.
That's all that matters.
Why do you keep interfering in my marriage? I'm not.
Yes, you are and it's not on.
You put ideas in his head and make me doubt everything.
It's normal to have doubts. Seriously, stop.
OK, sorry.
What am I even doing here anyway? Don't say that.
It's all falling apart. We should never have stayed after Da died.
It's OK.
No. No, it's not.
This was Da's dream, not mine.
Just go back to work.
Can I do anything? No, I have to get these orders done for next week.
Please, will you just go?
How are you? Hi, Callum. What did you do to your hand?
I cut it. Do you not think you should change the bandage?
It's fine. She's right. Do you want me to have a look?
Why would I do that? He's a doctor, Callum, come on.
No, thanks. Come on, let's see.
Yeah. Yeah, that needs to be seen to.
I'm in the at four o'clock doing paperwork, drop in.
Listen to the man. I'm not paying £60 for a bandage.
You work in a garage, I've a dent in my car.
We can come to some arrangement. Thanks.
You should take advantage. Do you want a pint?
No, I just came to make sure you're not pulling a fast one on me Ma.
She still has her job, right? That's between herself and Michael.
Why? What if their little fling goes sour?
Orla! Are they sleeping together?
What did you have to tell him for?
They're not exactly hiding it.
You're not surprised, are you?
What, you know about it as well? They deserve each other.
Drop us over a ham and cheese toastie, will you? Yeah, of course.
I presume you're not intending to drive today?
You're so full of brotherly concern.
When the local GP is off his head on painkillers it is my concern
Go away Bob, you're being a pest.
Your pupils were dilated, I could tell. Listen to Doctor Bob(!)
You drove into a bin today, falling over on Thursday.
Is this because I brought up the car crash,
where my wife could have died because of your stupidity?
You're gonna twist that? She should never have been driving.
She couldn't wait to get away from you fast enough.
What is your problem? Does it still eat you up that she dumped you
and spent the rest of her life with me?
Spin it whatever way you want, but this is not about the past.
Isn't it? It goes all the way back to that fat, red-faced boy,
exploding with jealousy and anger
because he couldn't beat his brother... at anything.
You're the one who hasn't changed, Jim.
But I won't stand by and see you risk people's lives.
It's Saint Bob now, the people's saviour.
Your pathetic put downs don't bother me.
It's your patients I fear for.
The hearsay of an obsessed, bitter sibling.
I won't let this go.
Thirty, Stephen? Sure. Thanks a lot.
I'll be with you in a second, OK?
That kitchen is pristine now. I'd say employee of the year.
Good.
By the way, I'm cutting both your hours, if youse don't wise up,
you won't be working together. That is not fair, Orla.
It's business, Jane.
Now, would you make Paul a toasted sandwich, please? With pleasure.
Ready?
See ya, Bob. See ya.
Thanks, Stephen. Thank you.
Right, let's get this over with. No comments, thank you.
I'm going to submit a late CAO application.
Don't worry, I'll pay for it. That's great news, love.
Katy, the thing is, I was really worried you'd miss your deadline.
No, I've loads of time. I'll do it this afternoon.
I was just afraid you'd miss your chance.
Tell me you didn't. Don't take this the wrong way.
What's she talking about?
I already submitted your CAO application.
You what? I swear, it was just to get it in.
You're a total control freak. You said you'd leave it.
You can change your mind about the courses.
It's like being stuck on a hamster wheel.
I didn't want you to get caught out.
No-one changes. Nobody learns. It's wrecking me head!
All we do now is fight.
Can we go for a walk? I've to finish this.
You've been in here all day.
Look, I don't blame you. I don't even blame me Ma.
What do I want a kid for? I'd be an awful mother.
You'll be a brilliant mother. You were right.
Everything we started out wanting is gone. We can get it back.
Too much has happened. The shop is taking over my life
and you keep going away. That was for work. I'm home now.
Do you not see? It's us. Maybe we can't do this.
Of course we can.
It's not working for me anymore. Max. No.
You're not happy, just go back to New Zealand.
I'm not going anywhere without you. I want you to move out.
Farrah, please, don't do this.
I have to. Really, I do. I have to sort meself out.
I can't do that with you around.
Ama, I'm concerned about what's going on in the surgery.
Jim is a liability. You have doubts about him too, I know you do.
I only confided in you because you're his brother.
I thought you could help.
You're a nurse, you have a responsibility.
I never should have said anything. But you did. Because you're worried.
All he has to do is to mess up once.
I can't get involved with this, Bob.
He crashed his car this morning. He knocked into a bin, Pete told me.
Other night he was slurring his words.
He's definitely on something.
Help me get the proof.
You mean spy on him?
Somebody has to do something. Supposing anything serious happened?
Well... how do you feel?
I think I'm OK. Another hard bit done.
We'll get through this, I promise you.
Yeah. I was so worried about it,
but now it's done, I feel kind of relieved.
You look as lovely as ever.
It's not like she did it out of spite.
We've been here too many times.
Excuse me, I have to give invoices to Decco. Come on, Katy.
You said you wanted to apply for college.
Not any more. And here we go.
Suppose I'm just living up to your expectations. Immature and fickle?
No wonder you're stuck on your hamster wheel.
She'd no right.
She wanted to make sure you didn't lose your place.
Tell her I'm not going to college.
Katy, you're being ridiculous.
Soon as my leaving's over, I'm out of here.
Well, off you go then. Throw away your chances.
Before you know it, you'll be 30 still going round in circles.
But I guess you won't know that until you're 30 and full of regret.
Oh, sorry, I didn't know there was anyone with you. I'm just going.
Thanks for that. And, er, for the tetanus.
I'll drop the car in during the week. Yeah, sound.
Well? You said it was important on the phone.
First of all, I like my job, I care for my patients and I'm happy here.
Well, looks like you landed on your feet then.
I thought you should know,
Bob thinks you're putting patients at risk.
He asked me to spy on you. I won't do that.
Do you think I'm a risk?
If I'm honest, I think possibly you're self-medicating
and that could cloud your judgement. Well, I'm not.
But if you were. I'm not.
What about the car? For goodness sake.
This is not about me being a competent doctor,
this is my brother digging up the past. Right.
Look, when I was working in South Sudan, rebels shelled the hospital.
Part of a building collapsed, it crushed my shoulder.
Sometimes it flares up.
I was taking the wrong painkillers, they didn't agree with me.
I'm not taking them anymore.
Sorry, OK.
I thought you should know. I appreciate that.
I've never compromised a patient in my life,
I'm certainly not going to start now.
See you in the morning.
Thanks, sweetheart. Thank you.
Orla wanted me to drop these over. Great.
Look, I didn't mean to upset you.
Why would I be upset? The thing with Jane, it was nothing.
You know you don't have to explain yourself.
Just saying, it can't have been easy, finding out that way.
Right, well, can I go now?
I just wanted to clear the air, that's all.
If I ever had any vague, lingering doubts, they're well and truly gone
now you dredged the gutter with that little tramp.
You will never be my concern again. Is that clear enough for you?
All those years with Paul, they're really starting to rub off.
Just listen to me. I know we're not in a good place.
But if we split now, like this, it's just wrong.
It's the only way, Max. I'm sorry. Two tickets to the south of France.
The flight leaves at 12.00 tomorrow.
Don't worry, it's covered with the New Zealand money.
Renee has agreed to manage the shop. What did you do that for?
I just thought if we actually had a honeymoon,
go back to where we were, it would make things clearer.
I don't want to break up, Farrah.
Please, don't say anything now, just think about it.
I'll understand if you don't want to come.
I'll wait for your decision in the pub.
Are you sleeping with Michael?
What? Who told you that? Orla and Niamh.
Ah, don't mind them. So, you're not?
Look, Orla caught us laughing earlier on and she freaked out.
I think she must be up all night with that baby. It's ridiculous.
They're spreading gossip about you.
They've little to talk about. Do you want a beer? Yeah.
What's for grub, actually?
Stew. I know how much you love it. Ah, lovely(!)
(knock at door)
Hi. Is, er, Jane in? And what are you doing here?
Michael, hi.
I just called to see if you could swap shifts next week.
Erm, well... You are such a liar.
What do you mean? And you are unbelievable.
First me step mother, now me mother. You've got this wrong.
Is this personal? He came to talk about work.
Do you think I'm stupid? This is a sick little plot to get at Niamh.
Calm down, will you? You're twisted, you know that?
Get out of me way. Callum, please! Come back!
What about dinner?
Er... I'm sorry, I should have called first.
Yeah, you should. Look, I'll just go, OK?
No, look, stay, please.
Niamh and Orla told him. He was suspicious anyway.
Why do they have to drag Callum into this?
It was my fault, that was rotten timing.
It's none of their damned business.
Niamh probably told him out of spite. I'm fed up with them.
She had a go at me earlier. Why? Over me?
Hypocrite!
You know, there is one way we could our own back.
How?
Well, Callum was the only one I cared about. Now he knows, so...
Just fun? Yeah, no strings?
I'm in if you're in. I'm in.
I don't know if we can fix this. All I know is, I miss what we had.
Then come with me. I've got the money from that job.
Let's use it on us. I can't promise anything.
That's good enough for me.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Sneaking around my back, intimidating Ama.
You sound like a man who's scared. I have nothing to hide.
If you could even admit you had a problem. We're not brothers anymore.
You're abusing your position.
I should be reporting you to the medical council.
You think taking me down will make a man of you? Well, it won't.
I won't be bullied into dropping this.
You go to the medical council and I'll screw you over so badly,
you'll wish you died in that car accident.
Now, stay the hell out of my life.
