Oh, hi!
You'll have to pop in for some pancakes later.
Bob has donated all the ingredients completely free,
so every penny goes to charity. Thanks. We will.
Is Robert after the Nobel prize now?
It was my idea, actually.
Oh, I'll lend my support, then. I'll see you later.
Callum, did you lose your phone or something?
No. I blocked you. We should go.
You don't believe me either?
You can't help lying, can you? You were just born twisted.
You don't know me. Yeah, you're right.
You're madder than I thought. Callum.
She's his problem now.
It's Decco I lied to, not you.
If him and mum knew how much trouble I was in,
they'd make it ten times worse.
You shouldn't be talking to that dope. Yeah, I'm going.
The only place you're going is school. It's mid-term.
Yeah, and Charlotte's meeting the principal to get herself enrolled.
Or I can send you back to Ma and she can walk you to school every day.
Looks like she's here to stay.
Couldn't give a rat's as long as she stays away from me.
With someone like Nina, there is always an agenda.
I'm the one asking the questions.
I need advice on writing. I'm not gonna give her any stories.
I'm just saying be careful, is all.
Careful of what? Ah, nothing.
(DOORBELL RINGS) (CAOIMHE) I'll get it.
Mentioning her name in front of Damien is not worth the hassle.
You don't want me to talk to her either, do you?
(DAMIEN) I'll babysit. (WAYNE) No way.
You're asking Damien to babysit? No. No.
You said you were looking for someone to babysit.
No, I thought you'd be gone earlier.
No, I was thinking maybe you could do it?
Or, er... or Katy.
Why? Cos we're girls?
What's wrong with me?
You know what, Caoimhe, maybe Orla'd go for that, yeah.
Hey. I'm the kid's godfather. Oh, Wayne doesn't trust you.
Listen, I trust this man with my life. OK?
Just not your child's.
What have I done? Look, Orla has a list. OK?
She doesn't even know I'm over here looking for a babysitter.
But she's not gonna leave the kid with just anybody.
It needs to be somebody that she's comfortable with.
And if I can find that person, I think she'd be good.
She won't be able to back out on me, you know? Oh, I'm busy.
Yeah, sorry, me too.
This is all his fault. What?
If you could babysit, I wouldn't be in this situation.
Sorry, why can't Damien babysit? Yeah, why can't I?
I looked after Laura and Mark often enough.
This is not just any kid. Neither were they!
Look, Orla is still very protective, OK?
And I just thought tonight would be the night.
We have this really decent supplier,
he's after giving us these vouchers for a whole night together,
away in a spa. Aww.
Well, if you can't go, I'll take them.
No. We are going.
Just, you know, have to find a babysitter.
Me ma can't do it and Niamh is busy, so...
You came crawling over here.
Just bring the kid with you. It's a spa, not a water park.
Come on, guys, please.
We haven't had a whole night away since the baby was born.
Then, why can't Damien do it?
I've already told you that he can't do it.
He's not allowed... for a while, at least.
It's not like you've covered yourself in glory.
I don't even make the cut when you're desperate?
You think I'm happy about this? You're supposed to be his godfather.
This is supposed to be your job.
I think this is something you need to sort out yourselves.
Guys, come on. Please.
One of you have a chat with her,
explain to her that she's being unreasonable. Oh, Sure.
Then I'll just go down to the zoo and wrestle some cubs away from a bear.
I'll talk to her. No, no. That's only gonna make things worse.
I'm not allowed to babysit Junior, or allowed to talk to your wife?
It's nothing personal.
Fine. Look, I will talk to your cranky, exhausted wife
and convince her that what she needs is a night away without the child,
and that this is the man to do it. OK?
Great.
How hard can it be? Yeah.
Come here.
This is never happening again, OK? I won't even try. Cross my heart.
Hi, Jane. Hi, Charlotte.
Erm... so, do you take dropping that roster back to the office?
Sure. OK, and, er, thanks a million for dropping over to collect it.
No problem. See you, Charlotte. See you.
Er, Jane, Is Callum inside? Er, no.
He's not at work.
What do you want?
Callum hasn't been right since you got back.
Yeah, we've missed each other. He was doing just fine before.
That's not what I heard. You are trouble, Charlotte.
And we both know it. So you please just leave my son alone.
My Philip used to love these. I can see why.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, careful now, they're hot.
You should try one, Callum.
I'm not hungry. It's for a good cause.
Here you go, Bob. Pretend he ate six of them there.
Put that in the box, will you? Oh! That's Very generous. 20 Euro.
Everyone's a winner.
What is with you? Nothing.
Well, I hope you're going back to work.
Callum, just listen to me for one second, please.
And that's what his mood is about, is it?
Is she trying to get her hooks into him again?
He's barely spoken to her for days. Which means yes.
Now, you are gonna be my eyes and ears.
I'm not spying on him.
What, you're mates with her again? No.
Good. Cos I don't want either of you mixed up with that girl.
I mean, what happened to her was unfortunate.
But when we did try and help, look where it led?
Stolen crashed cars, maniac father...
Yeah, I get it.
I don't want her dragging you down.
I'm going to make sure he's gone back to work.
At least there I can keep an eye on him. I'll talk to you later. See ya.
Rachel, I really need your help. I need to go.
What do I have to do to make you believe me? Stop lying?
Hi.
You should have said something to Damien. He's wrong about Nina.
Well, can you blame him?
He's kinda private about what happened to my family.
She really admires you and him for what you've been through.
OK. Well, we both feel a bit used. She wrote a great story.
Instead of some boring thing about charity shops,
she found a really good angle.
She just went where the story led her.
You're beginning to sound like her now.
Look, there's a side to Nina that I just don't like.
She doesn't care who she offends.
You said it's none of your business who I hang out with.
OK. Well, then you don't need my approval.
Yeah, but I'd like it.
She really admires you. So do I.
I'm not your mam. Like I said, who you meet with is up to you.
See ya. See ya.
What if we snuck him in? Hmm?
You want us to smuggle our kid into a spa?
I can think of better reasons to be thrown out of a hotel. (LAUGHS)
Yeah, I don't want to leave him, love. Sorry.
OK. OK, OK.
Alright, just think about this, right? Yeah?
We take him with us, we're gonna have a terrible night's sleep.
Sure, we can have that here. At least it's a change of scene.
Yeah.
I, er... I was talking to Damo earlier.
Mm-hmm? Yeah.
He feels really bad, you know, about not living up to your ex...
..to our expectations.
And I was thinking, what is the point in having him
if we can't take advantage of him at times like this?
You've already asked him to babysit, haven't you?
No, it was his idea. (SCOFFS)
Come on, do you not think it's a good idea?
We get to spend some time together. Alone.
Well, I'm not risking our son's life, so you can have a soak in a hot tub.
Damo's not that bad.
Ah, do you know what? Fine.
Fine. Forget about it, right?
We'll sneak him in, then.
We can take turns running up and down to the spa.
We're not a couple any more, we're a tag team.
(DOORBELL RINGS) I'll get it.
No, why don't you go? And I'll stay here with Junior.
Orla... No, no, no.
You said it yourself, we're only going to have a bad night's sleep,
so it's a lot less hassle if I stay here.
Oh, great.
Callum!
Quick, run!
What happened to you? He tried to grab me into a van.
I got away, but they followed. Who?
We have to get out of here, come on. This is your best one yet.
Maybe you're so deep into your lie, you believe it yourself. But I don't.
Will you believe it when they find me in the Liffey?
Wait. They're coming, Callum.
Come back to me ma's. Why? You don't even believe me.
If there is someone after you, you're safer there than anywhere else.
She's at work. Come on, we'll think of something.
Come on.
You could be having a hot stone massage if you let Damien have a go.
Junior is not something you just have a go with.
I'm surprised I made it through the Christening.
Well, I am too, to be honest. Maybe I'll resign.
Give the job to someone you do trust. Damien.
I believe in you, pal. Look, I... I want to trust you.
And you can. You could both do with a lie-in, right?
Think about it. Breakfast in bed. Hot tub.
What if we did it together? And we could stay here.
Junior could be in his own bed.
Babe, you don't need to babysit the babysitter.
Let her speak, will you?
I used to do it loads in Kilkenny.
Yeah, and she's practically a doctor.
OK, don't you start pushing it now.
It'd be no big deal to help out. It mightn't be a big deal to you...
It would be a huge honour. Massive.
Trust me, Orla. We can do this.
We had a great lunchtime rush, but then it got quiet.
So if you could mention it to everyone that comes in?
I'll make sure to send them over. Mention my gluten-free pancakes.
Let me guess, almond flour?
Oh, no. Mashed bananas instead of real flour.
Nice.
Well, you'll be saying more than that when you've tasted them.
I'll make sure I do. Great.
Right, well, I better go drum up more business.
I'll see you both later. See ya.
You're such a flatterer, you. I was serious.
What's in it for you? Free pancakes? A human interest story?
Do I detect a simmering resentment, or are you just pleased to see me?
Aren't you here to see Katy? I wanted to catch you first.
Maybe grab a coffee.
I'm working.
So, I was right about the resentment?
You just wrote what you saw. Is that what you'll tell Katy to do?
Look, she wants advice. Do her a favour. Be encouraging.
You're very protective of her.
I get the impression that you don't give advice
unless there's something in it for you.
Not true. I could set you straight over a drink.
Another time.
Oh, and if you see Damien, stay out of his way.
So, who was it?
I didn't ask his name while he was trying to grab me by the hair.
If you still think I'm lying, just let me go.
I'm not stopping you going anywhere.
But I need to know how to deal with this.
Was it one of the creeps from Spain? I didn't recognise him.
But it's obvious it's one of the same crowd. Are you sure?
Who else would it be? I've given up trying to make you believe me.
I just need to get out of Dublin. Wait.
I need to get me head around this, alright?
Oh, yeah. You take your time. I'm getting out of here.
What if they followed us? I don't have much choice, do I?
What are you doing? Just in case?
What, in case I'm not lying?
I believe you.
Decco said he was taking you to school. What happened?
I ditched him and went looking for you.
Why? I keep asking myself the same thing.
So, it's my fault you got attacked?
No. It's mine for being such a moron all my life
that nobody believes a word I say. I just told you that I did.
Well, it's too late now, isn't it? Would you hang on for a minute?
I'm done with this place and everyone in it.
You just stay here, OK? I can keep you safe.
I wanted it to happen.
You need your brothers to call these lads off.
They think Decco's a joke. And Zumo's out of his depth.
Could you not pay them?
I've got a bit of money, some inheritance.
That's not how this works.
If they think you have money, they'll always be looking for more.
I need to get out of Dublin, or... Ireland even.
I can help you. I don't want your money, Callum.
But you could come with me. Leg it?
Yeah, why not? How many chances do you get the chance to just take off?
It's kind of romantic, isn't it?
What's keeping you here? Family.
If you weren't related, would you even like them?
That's family for you.
(JANE) Callum? Yeah, coming.
Let's get out of her way. Together?
Yeah, definitely.
What's the chain doing on?
Hi, Jane.
What are you doing here? Just, er, hanging out.
See ya, Jane. See ya.
Not without an explanation. Why? What's the point?
You've already made your mind up. She is playing you.
Yeah, and you'd know, wouldn't you?
We need all this stuff, do we? No, it's all useless.
No, but it's good to know it's there you know, just in case you need it.
Right, love? Yes, it is.
OK, so he's still asleep, alright? Perfect.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. No.
You're going to have to wake him to feed him.
Easy. Yeah, without freaking him out.
I'll make sure he doesn't. Oh. That's the cab.
It's outside. Come on.
OK, erm... Right, so here's his routine.
Now, this is really important, alright?
Do not let him sleep after his last nap.
Alright, yeah. Does he turn into a werewolf?
(BOYS LAUGH) Right, I can't do this.
This isn't funny.
Look, you're only half an hour away.
If you miss him too much, you can just come home, OK?
Or you can phone. Alright?
Alright, look, I know I might sound a bit selfish here, OK?
But I'm doing this for the two of us, OK?
I'm going to miss him, too, just as much as you are.
But I can live with that for a night.
And possibly part of the following day?
No, it's one night and we'll be home in the morning. Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no. We'll be home first thing. Yeah, sure.
OK? Cool.
Right, let's go. Come on. OK.
I never doubted you for a second. OK.
Enjoy. Enjoy. See youse.
(SIGHS) You're going to do just fine.
Yeah, you are sticking around, aren't you?
My job here is done. I'm off out with the girls.
Ah, do you really think I'd do that to you?
But you are on changing duty.
Ah, no, no. I think you'd be way better at that.
I've... stumpy fingers.
Oh, but just think about how impressed Orla would be.
Watch this. (JO LAUGHING AND SHRIEKING)
It's all in the wrist. Clearly not mine.
Nobody's going to eat that. I'll have another go.
Look, I do know it's for charity, but we have to be able to sell them.
OK, Dermot, give it here. Leave it to the pro.
Ah, you came.
I said I would. He even made me come, too.
Not that I needed persuading. (CHUCKLES)
Well, watch and learn. Careful, Jo, that's hot.
I know what I'm doing, Dermot. Oh! (LAUGHS)
Have you had many takers? Yeah. It's been very popular.
To be fair, our Jo is quite a ringmaster. Ow!
You see, you burned yourself, didn't you?
No, I'm fine. Let me see.
You need to run that under tepid water.
No, it's nothing. Really.
Just do as I say. I don't suppose you have a decent first-aid kit?
Yes, we have.
I'm fine. Honestly. There you go. It's just a tiny burn.
I've seen some nasty infections develop from minor burns.
Especially in places where hygiene might be an issue.
Well, luckily, we keep it spotless. Yes, and Bob is right.
There's no need for this fuss, Jim. Are either of you doctors?
Ama, get me a burn dressing. This kit is useless.
And you, go out to the back and run it under tepid water.
So, have you dropped him yet?
Not at all. I'm an expert. But, erm, Wayne left the fridge empty.
So is there any chance of a couple of cheese toasties?
And maybe a pint as well? I thought you were on duty.
Yeah, but... Just maybe the cheese toasties, then.
Drop them up when you're ready, will you?
Does that mean we're working for him now?
I don't know, with Wayne and Orla away, I think maybe we're in charge.
So maybe we can take a break together, then?
Now, now. What did I say earlier? (LAUGHS)
Have you seen that son of ours?
Yeah, actually, and I can tell you who he's with. Oh, no.
I caught them in my flat. Doing what?
I tried asking, but do you think I could get a straight answer?
Shouldn't have her near your place. I'd already told her to get lost.
Little brat has no respect. Are you not being a bit hard on her?
How has this got anything to do with you? She's my mate's sister.
Then you should know what a complete looper she is.
So if you don't mind, we're trying to discuss a private matter here.
(SIGHS)
I don't know why you're having a go at him.
But I agree with you, for a change.
So, are we going to work together on this?
Yeah, whatever it takes.
You know, the more we tell him to back off,
the more they'll think they're Bonnie and Clyde.
Yeah, but we've gotta be smart about this cos we all know how that ended.
How about The States? Alaska?
Way too cold. I want beaches.
If you could go anywhere hot in the world, where would it be?
Brazil. For the bikinis?
You did say hot. Plus, er, you'd look great in one.
We could work in a beach bar. Learn some scuba diving.
You would want to go together, right?
Yeah. Someone has to keep an eye on you.
And yeah, like you said, what's keeping me here?
Is that not a bit excessive? It does seem a little over-cautious.
You can't take chances with a wound like this.
Better to take the doctor's advice.
I'd suggest a couple of days off work, too. Let the wound heal.
No! No, Jim, I'm fine. And keep it dry.
If it doesn't heal, the germs in this place will be all over it.
As I said already, this restaurant is spotless.
Anyway, I can't afford to take time off work.
What, is he too tight to pay sick pay? Isn't that illegal?
No, I wouldn't accept it. It was my own fault.
It's his grill. There should be some sort of protection around that.
Well, It's an occupational hazard. Jo, take the rest of the day off.
And tomorrow, as well. I'll see how I feel.
Come on, Jo. Doctor's orders.
Right. You get the kids, I'll get my stuff.
What was that about? Patient safety.
It looks like you've a bit of cleaning up here to do, as well.
Oh, I'll have a coffee to go while you're at it.
Honduras? Yeah.
Oh, me ma thinks I'm mad. She thinks I should just leave it to the nuns,
but there's this orphanage. And they're looking for volunteers.
I'm going to go before college. Good for you.
So, you think I should go, then? You just said you were going.
But do you think I should go to college first?
Look, I used to ask people the same questions.
But ask any writer, or journalist.
They probably all took a different route into the job.
You're not giving any straight answers here.
Because there aren't any. You have to find your own way in.
Thanks for the words of wisdom.
I should have just stayed home and written something.
Now you're getting it.
You haven't you seen my sister, have you? No, she hasn't been in.
You should keep her on a lead. I bet she's with him, isn't she?
Or maybe you should lock your sister up in her room? That's not helping.
I will look after my sister.
But if she's with him and anything's happened,
it's Callum that'll need to watch his back.
He blinks a lot, doesn't he?
Maybe that's cos you're freaking him out.
Poor little man.
Is your big, scary Godfather playing silly staring games with you?
Is he?
I didn't have you pegged as the maternal type.
You're the one who insisted on having him for the night.
Only because they said I couldn't.
So, erm... you ever thought about having kids?
Maybe someday. Seriously?
Well, have you not? Nah. It's not for me.
What, never? Nah, not a chance.
The great thing about being a godparent is you can hand them back.
Best of both worlds.
Thanks.
We probably shouldn't have come in.
Or are you just trying to wind up your mum?
You're bad. Yeah, well, she's worse.
Have you ever tried one of those cocktails
they drink out of coconuts?
I don't think a bloke would get away with it here.
Would you try one in our beach bar in Brazil?
Yeah, if me mates wasn't looking.
What was that for? We're not bringing anyone else.
Dad's going mad looking for you.
I'll be back in a sec.
What are you at? Last time I saw you, you hated her.
Yeah, well, she was telling the truth.
They found her. She was attacked.
You were there? No, but... I believe her.
Nobody else is going to look out for her, so it's up to me now.
That bandage was a joke.
I'd hate to see a good person like Jo suffer
because of shoddy work practices.
The last thing you need is a lawsuit. Or a health inspection.
I've a friend in that line of work. Is this a warning now?
Mind yourself, Robert. And your staff.
Come back to mine. I don't care what me ma says.
Here, get away from her, you.
She was nearly grabbed off the street.
She was lucky Callum was there.
I could be anywhere now if it wasn't for him.
Bull. Come on.
She's coming home with me. No way.
That is the first place they'll look. Then I'll be waiting.
Me and her imaginary friend can sit and watch football together.
I told you this would happen. Let's go.
Go on, try it. I dare you! Leave it. She'll be OK with him.
Move.
