How come you're not up?
You'll miss breakfast.
I didn't sleep very well. I'm surprised at that,
considering the extra work you've been doing.
Are you in any discomfort? No.
Maybe we'll have to review your meds. I'm fine.
Is it Carol and Robbie?
Look, you've got more important things to be concerned about.
Come on, you can't do physio on an empty stomach.
You saw them, too.
I saw two friends comforting each other. That's all.
You didn't see what I saw.
He was touching her face and he kissed her.
I've got it.
Hey, you're still here? Get me wicked way with you and then leg it?
No, I though you'd be at the race tracks or something?
Show your face? That can wait.
My ugly mug is yours for today.
I meant what I said last night. Yeah, me too.
But right now, I gotta go. I thought you were staying?
It's not a work thing, I said I'd drop in on Dan.
I hate giving him hope about us being together.
I wish everything was out in the open.
It will, once he's strong enough. Yeah, but that's not at the moment.
Did he say something?
Just yesterday he was rambling about when he gets out.
What did he say? He wasn't really making any sense, it doesn't matter.
Really. Are you sure? Yeah.
I'll be as quick as I can. Make sure you are. I'll be here.
Fly, fly. (laughs)
Mum says I can stay up as late as you during the Easter holidays.
It's not that much later.
No staying up for anyone if you don't hurry.
We have half day. We still need to go in.
Dermot, sorry, I got delayed. Your meeting.
Where did you disappear off to?
I just popped up to the Smart Office to see Niamh and Decco
before they started their day. Niamh and Decco? Why?
Just to get a little information about starting up a small business.
I picked up these leaflets yesterday.
About grants and small start-up loans you can get.
They say we should start with grants first.
Hold on a second, I didn't agree to any of this.
Jo, if you want to leave The Hungry Pig, it has to be worth your while.
We need your income. I know that.
A community resource centre isn't the answer. It's not profitable.
You don't know that for sure.
And you do? Well, there's more research to be done.
I have to go. Your mum will take you to school.
Paul, I'm just if unit of yours is still vacant? It is, yeah.
Good. I'd like to view it.
Oh, that's great, isn't it? Why? What do you want it for?
Mum's going to open an ice-cream Lego shop.
(laughs) Don't be silly.
That's a stupid idea.
Ben, Zoe, adult talk, yeah?
Er, we haven't finalised the business plan yet.
Dermot never said anything to me.
This isn't Dermot's idea, it's Jo's.
You never told me about your business dealings.
What is this? You two ganging up on me or something?
The market place has been open nearly a year
and that unit's never been occupied. It looks bad.
Well, there's been a lot of interest in it recently.
Meet me there at three o'clock. Great. See you then.
See you later.
Thank you, Niamh.
You're more than welcome. Talk to you later.
Well, come on! We're going to be late, quick, quick!
This is the last thing I need.
Read the email, easier to get an international driving permit
than an Australian licence. I'm leaving tomorrow,
I'll be stuck in a queue all day and I have to pack.
Relax, you don't need to take much. You're in a quarry.
So, are you coming with me? I'm thinking about it.
This could be good for both of us.
Stop with the pressure.
I'm not talking about tomorrow.
Follow me over in a couple of days, or a few weeks?
I'll think about it. Now go. You need to be first in that queue.
Bye. See you later.
Made a right mess of things with Dean, haven't I?
You were only trying to help.
I was, and anyone else would be glad of the work.
Maybe it's the work that's the problem, the type?
I've got a great idea.
Dean's his own man. Best to leave him to sort this out himself.
But if he doesn't sort something soon, he'll fight again.
I know he will.
Hey! Hey.
So, er, what are you up to today?
I don't know. Is that a problem? No. Just asking.
You don't want to be out with Pete on a building site, and that's cool,
but I was thinking, what about setting you up as a driver?
I can have a word with Carol?
I got this. It doesn't look like it, son.
Leo.
Take your time.
It's not as if I need it.
Just... let's take a break.
Robbie's not coming in.
Great, maybe you'll get some work done.
Hey. The man himself. I'll leave you to it.
Did you get held up?
A supplier meeting dragged on. You know how it is.
How's Carol? Not a bother on her. She says hi.
I bumped into her earlier.
Some good news. McGurk's Pub is closing down. Page seven.
It'll benefit The Station, boost profits, means more money for you.
And Carol. I might have found a place for us to live.
Already? I have to think of our future.
Of course you do. Is it in the area?
Caoimhe told me she's moved out of her apartment.
Louise isn't renewing the lease and it's on the ground floor.
Carol will love it. I'm sure she will.
She won't have to worry anymore,
especially when my insurance policy comes through.
Nearly a hundred grand.
Not a bad windfall.
A hundred grand for my legs?
That's not what I meant. I didn't expect it to be that much.
It's not, considering I won't walk again.
After everything she went through with CAB, it should set us up nicely.
Great.
We'll be a family. Me, Carol and Jack.
I better get back to The Station. I can spare a few more minutes.
And face the wrath of Nurse Bronagh? You've a busy day, too.
Good luck. See ya.
Louise.
You're a life-saver, thank you. I'll settle up with you later. Sure.
There you are. I was looking for you. Is everything alright?
I couldn't help but notice yourself and Max earlier.
Is this about Australia?
If I go with Max, I'll be in Perth on my own,
he'll be in the quarry, what'll I do?
There's your photography. It's not that easy.
This isn't about where you live, or what you'll do there.
This is about you and Max.
I do love him, I want this to work.
Then do what you have to do, to make it work. I don't know what that is.
I'd better be getting back to the shop. See ya.
Louise!
Sorry. What was it again? The special.
Right. I'll drop it over to you.
Louise, table five has been waiting a while.
Why don't I finish here and give you a hand.
No, it's alright. I'll manage. It's no problem, love.
I used to help Yvonne when she couldn't cope. It's OK, Da.
Well, I think Bela helping out is a great idea.
We used to make a mighty team. They were the good old days.
I'm sure they were.
Why don't I get Cass to come in too?
No, it's alright, just you. Thanks, Dean.
Don't mention it.
Caoimhe, will you put Robbie on? He's not answering his phone.
Oh, don't worry, I think I know where he is.
Everything OK?
I need you to do something for me. What is it?
It's my insurance policy, the small print, I want to read it over.
You wouldn't get it from Carol's for me, would ya?
Can't wait till her next visit? Can't.
What's going on, Dan? The truth.
Robbie lied earlier.
He said he was going to work, but he didn't.
He's with Carol. Both their phones are ringing out.
You have to stop this. There's something going on.
Look, patients can feel trapped in here and start to imagine -
Please. I need you to do this.
And what if you're right?
What if Robbie is there?
I'll handle it. Oh, God.
You asking me to do this is not on. There's no one else I can ask.
It's crazy. I need to know.
OK, look... if it will put your mind at ease. It will.
Fine, I'll go on my break.
Thanks, Bronagh.
Louise, could you come here? Something wrong with the till.
I need a coffee to go.
No, don't -
Here, I'll have a look at it.
Whose bill is it? Farrah's. Right.
I'm sorry for the wait. We are just having some problems.
So I see. My ma has the same best intentions.
How you getting on with this place?
I've got the hang of it since Yvonne left. What about you and the shop?
It took me a while to settle in. But you like it?
I do.
Do you ever miss Australia?
The weather, yes, and the surfers.
Would you go back? To live? I don't think so.
Yvonne kind of landed me in it here,
I do have a good rate on the rent upstairs,
so I'm happy to stay for the moment.
You've food orders here as well. I better go.
See ya. See ya.
I had a look at some hotels.
We could go over Easter instead of the weekend?
Leo.
Yeah, yeah, if you like, yeah. Talk to Dean.
What difference will it make?
You heard him. He doesn't want to know.
Thanks, love. Thank you.
There. Fixed. Good man.
Why don't you take a break, Da? Make yourself a cup of coffee. OK.
You owe me. For what?
For him. You made it impossible for me to say no to him earlier.
His heart's in the right place, but he's making things worse.
Yeah, used to do that to Yvonne all the time, too.
What would you say to coming back? Here?
Yeah, your old job. I thought you had everything under control?
I do. Why do you need me?
OK, I need a chef. Yeah, but why me?
Because I heard you're good.
What about pay? Whatever you were on before.
Come on, I need more than that. Maybe I can go a little higher.
How much higher? Five percent.
(SHARP INHALE)
No. I like to move forward, not back.
Ben, eat your carrot sticks. I've given them up for Lent.
Since when? Today.
You can't do that, Lent's nearly over.
Come on, eat them, you don't fool me.
Will we have to give up going to The Hungry Pig when mum leaves?
Your mum's not leaving.
But what about her new business?
There's not going to be a new business.
I don't think we're meant to tell Dermot.
Tell me what?
Mum must be changing jobs, she's gonna see Paul's empty shop later.
Wait there a minute.
Paul?
Erm, Jo is viewing your unit later? Yeah. At 3.00.
Are you OK with that? Shouldn't I be?
It's just, we haven't quite nailed down what we might do with it.
She told me she was finalising her business plan.
I need to move quickly on this. Yeah, I know you do.
So, I can't be wasting my time showing a unit for no reason.
We're close to making up our minds.
Do you know what, tell Jo the viewing's cancelled.
Ah, no, Paul, you can't do that. Would you not let her see it anyway?
Good luck. Goodbye, goodbye.
(KNOCKING)
I'm coming.
Bronagh. Your neighbour let me in downstairs. Is now a bad time?
Is Dan alright? Come on.
What's wrong? I don't want to be here, but Dan sent me.
Why? He has himself all worked up, otherwise I wouldn't have come.
Worked up about what?
It's awkward, but it was only fair that you should know.
He thinks Robbie's here, something's going on behind his back.
What?
I told him this yesterday myself and Robbie are just friends.
Like I said, I thought it was fair that you should know.
Yeah, OK, look, thanks, but really you should be getting back.
Yeah, sorry. That's alright.
Thanks.
Carol, have you seen my phone?
Then you shouldn't have come here. I know, but I did.
You can't tell Dan, it'd just gonna set him back.
Don't pretend it's for his benefit.
He may be a patient, but he's not a child.
This isn't really your call, is it?
(sighs)
You forgot these. Thanks.
Are you alright?
Thinking about how to tell Max.
So, you've decided not to go? He'll be disappointed.
It's better to be honest.
I should go back downstairs.
Hi, Renee. I got that permit.
Great. Max -
Thanks for making a start. I don't know where I'd be without you.
I'm not going with you.
I can't. Why?
It's not what I want.
I don't understand. I've found me feet here again.
And you'll find your feet in Australia.
A year's a long time for us to be apart.
That's just it. If I went, we'd barely see each other.
You'll be in the quarry 15 days at time.
It's better than not seeing each other at all.
I need to stay. For me, for the shop. I want this. Da would be proud.
Is this about him? No, it's nothing to do with that.
Believe me, that's all in the past.
So, where does that leave us then?
We'll be fine. You'll be back before you know it.
We've never been away from each other for that long.
I'll miss you. I'll miss you too.
So, come with me. I can't.
Right. I'm going to head out for a while. OK?
Oh, hey. Oh, hi.
Are you all set for your viewing? Yes, I am.
I shouldn't tell you this, but Paul hasn't much interest in that unit,
so don't let him fool you into paying too much. Thanks, Niamh.
Nice to have somebody having faith in me.
Dermot's being a right pain about it all.
Well, prove him wrong.
I intend to. Wish me luck. You don't need it.
I'll talk to you later. Thanks.
Hey. Hey.
Listen, er, Paul cancelled the viewing. Why?
He thought you were finalising a business plan.
Well, I will be, soon. But he won't wait.
(sighs)
Look, I'm sorry if I was hard on you earlier.
I want to be a business woman, make my own money, be my own boss.
But why now?
Going to that school reunion,
it got me thinking that I want to try new things.
I thought you were over all that. No, it's been niggling at me.
You don't think that I can do this, do you? I never said that.
You know, I supported you in your political career,
and when that didn't work, I stood by you.
I know you did. So, why can't you do the same for me?
Well? Well, what?
Was Robbie there? No.
Carol? Yeah.
How did she seem?
Fine, normal. Same as always.
No more worrying, OK?
So, all I saw was Robbie supporting her?
Yeah, that's all.
Shouldn't you be in the canteen? Sure.
Thanks for going over there. You're the only one I could trust.
Go on, yourself.
I've put us down for a few cancellations.
Never know, we might find some nice little spa,
spend all day in our dressing gowns.
Ignoring him isn't going to help. Dean. What are you doing?
Getting you two talking. I hate seeing you like this.
Your Da is worried about you. I'm fine.
See? The man says he's fine.
Will you pair ever cop on?
Look, everyone needs a dig out from time to time.
That's all it was earlier,
when Leo said he'd talk to Carol about getting you work.
She's right, son.
Thanks. But I'll sort myself out, really. When?
You've been saying that for weeks, but you don't do anything about it.
I got a job in Vino's, so it's all good.
Sorted. Why didn't you tell me?
It's only just happened. Fair play.
Do you want a pint to celebrate?
Just the one, I've got to go meet the boss, discuss contracts.
Steve. Get us another pint here? Sure.
You've made your da very happy.
I'm sorry. Yeah.
I'd be mad at me, too. I'm not mad, I'm just -
Disappointed? That's even worse. That's not what I meant.
I'm just sad you're not coming with me, that's all. I know.
But I shouldn't have run off on you like that.
You weren't exactly hard to find. Well, you know me too well.
I'm guessing you're hungry now as well as thirsty?
Hey. Do you fancy heading to Vino's?
Yeah. Go on, then.
(MIMICS CARS)
Is he not asleep yet? Not even close.
Told Rachel she could be in for a rough night. I know the feeling.
I warned her we might be late.
You might not be if Bronagh's already told him.
We could be sent packing sharpish.
What if she hasn't? You're sure you wanna come clean with Dan?
It would stop all this sneaking around, which is what we both want.
I know.
Then let's do what we have to do.
The sooner you can show me off to the rest of the world, the better.
And you look so hot. (LAUGHS)
See you, Rachel!
Guys, there we go. Thank you. Enjoy, OK.
Dean, what can I get you? The roster.
So you can put me down for a few shifts.
So, you want the job now? Maybe I've had a rethink.
I worked here before. It makes sense to hire me.
I'll be the judge of that, after I interview you. Interview?
Why did you stop being a chef? (LAUGHS)
Guess you don't want the job then. No, no, I do, I do.
So tell me.
Erm, I wanted to fight. What do you mean?
Like boxing, it's not exactly professional.
It's bare-knuckle. Right. Do people bet on you to win?
Yeah. And if you lose, they lose their money?
Well, it doesn't happen that often. I'm very good.
But it does happen? Sometimes. What?
I don't want people hassling you for their money.
They won't. But they might, things could get out of hand.
I'm sorry, I'm not taking that risk. I've customers to think of.
Are you serious? I can't give you the job.
Summer's not that far away.
Your winter, so you should come back for a holiday.
Christmas, I could come to you.
I'll stick a shrimp on the barbie for you. Yeah? I can't wait.
Try and go to Auckland, catch up with the old crowd.
I hate to think of you not knowing anyone.
I get six days off at a time, so Auckland's doable.
You never stopped missing New Zealand, did you?
It's the most amazing country I've ever seen.
And I'm the one who's kept you away.
You needed to come home to take care of your da.
I did, and you gave up everything for me.
You're my wife. I'd do anything for you.
And you're me husband and I'm too selfish to do the same.
You've always been there for me. Because you needed me to be.
Now you need me to be there for you.
Do you know what, I've changed me mind. I'm coming with you.
I'm coming with you.
Are you serious? Yeah.
You've already given up so much for me, now it's my turn.
I don't know what to say. Say you want me to come.
I want you to come with me. I want you to come with me.
Missing her already? Farrah's coming with me.
You're going to Australia? Yeah, I am.
What made you change your mind? It's a year, and I'd miss Max.
I'm as surprised as you are.
Well, I suppose congratulations are in order.
You're right, hang on.
Here. Oh, thank you.
Thanks you. So...
To the year ahead. To the year ahead.
Yeah, the year ahead.
Bronagh. Is Dan OK?
I didn't tell him, if that's what you're wondering. Thanks.
I didn't do it for you.
We're here to tell him. Good. Then we all can move on.
Dan, you have some visitors.
I'll call back later. Stay. There's something I want to say.
I'm sorry for how I've been lately.
You've both been in here, every day practically and what do I do?
I accuse you of having an affair.
Dan - And Bronagh. I sent you to spy on them. That's not fair.
It's messed up. I don't deserve any of you.
We're not going anywhere. No, Robbie's right.
It's just being in here,
just staring at these walls all the time, you know, it's hard.
Of course it is. How could it not be.
I'm going to get stronger, you know, you don't have to worry.
I'm sorry. Stop that. You've nothing to be sorry for.
