I heard you're refusing to go the gym.
There are other patients desperate for this level of physio.
Go away.
If you don't follow the programme, we have to discharge you.
You've come this far, Dan. Don't throw it all away.
Oh, sorry. I didn't think... No, you're grand.
I'll give you a while to think about that.
I thought you'd be down in the gym, doing your physio.
I just came to drop off the lease from Paul.
I knew you'd want to get it done. I'm not taking the apartment.
I thought you and Carol were... Carol is, er...
Well, she's sleeping with Robbie.
Surprised? I was.
I actually thought she was going to live with me. Idiot.
OK, you're got all the details. Can you leave?
Thanks for nothing, mate. OK. Bye.
I thought you were in Vinos today? No, I'm not in until 12.
Oh, yeah? Who was that? My landlord, in London.
I'm, er... I'm giving the place up.
That's brilliant. You know you can stay here as long as you want.
Your da loves having you around. Thanks, Da.
Is everything OK? You sounded really annoyed there.
Yeah. He's keeping my deposit and looking for two months rent.
That's not allowed. It's in the contract, apparently.
He's talking solicitors.
You know I'd help out, but I'm not exactly flush.
I'm gonna sort this.
I'm gonna go grab a shower, yeah?
Listen, about that money. We'll sort that out, OK?
Hey, it's not your problem, OK? I'm on it.
(JO) No regrets, right? Not for a minute, partner.
Hi. I heard about the new venture. Fair play to both of you.
Thanks. Now we just have to actually do it.
A laundrette is a good idea. There's money in muck.
It's going to be an awful lot more than a laundrette.
Really? Yes!
I see it as the hub of the community.
A place of tranquillity.
You know, sort of like I imagine the Helping Hand could have been.
Er... We were going to ask Damien about the re-fit.
No better man. See you around. See you.
You know, our cash flow is tight.
A juicy price on the re-fit would be nice.
Damien and Laura are very close. I could butter her up.
You know, make her feel important. She loves all that.
Caoimhe, you were in with Dan today, weren't you? How's he getting on?
How do you think?
With his best friend? It's none of your business.
Fair enough. But he's pretty shattered.
It looks like he's given up on physiotherapy.
And he's not taking that apartment.
Where's he going to live? I don't know.
But it certainly didn't seem like he could manage on his own.
He thinks we're walking away. That's not gonna happen.
He needs to know that. Dan doesn't forgive too easy.
We just have to give him some time. He doesn't have time, Robbie.
I'm thinking of going with blue.
I know it's a bit daring, but blue suggests rest and calm.
It also helps to generate spending.
I can see you've gone to a lot of effort.
I know that the voluntary sector can afford to be casual,
but there is no room for sloppiness in the commercial world.
Oh, but I hear you are going great guns here.
Everybody's singing your praises. Oh, yeah? Who?
Well, there's Dermot.
And what about Damien, huh? Another success story.
Hello, stranger. Hi.
I thought you'd fallen off the planet.
I got your texts. I was in London, mad busy.
I'm kind of busy myself here, so...
Sure. Hi. It's Jo, isn't it? That's right.
Look, I'm just not great at text friendships. Too much half said.
But I couldn't wait to come see you.
I can't just drop everything.
I'm actually meeting a lead, a potential lead, in McCoys.
McCoys? He lives nearby.
I suggested the place. I thought I might bump into someone I know.
What, you two are friends? I certainly hope so.
Even after that article? We made our peace.
My family know what it's like
to have its personal life toyed with in the newspapers.
Really? What's the family name, again?
I think that I'm going to keep that to myself.
Have you ever thought about the consequences of what you write?
I'd hate to think I hurt somebody I cared about.
I should go. It was nice to meet you again.
Mm-hmm. And you.
It usually slackens off after three. Great. I'll call back.
I know that this is none of my business, but that woman is trouble.
Are we passionate?
Sorry, it's a stupid question.
I'd like to think so. Me too.
Maybe we need to explore that. I wouldn't be against the idea.
OK. Tonight. My place. Dinner.
I'm supposed to be doing overtime.
I was thinking that maybe you might want to bring a toothbrush.
Oh. Erm... I'll talk to my sergeant.
Good.
OK, I just need to do someone a favour. Louise.
No problem.
This is your first day off in ages.
What are you looking at? Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Really?
I had to drag him out. Well, that tortilla was unreal.
We had to give our compliments to the chef.
Did my da put you up to this? Don't be silly.
Nicely done. I wasn't lying. The food was great.
You set this up? Yeah. Bit of a confidence booster.
I hope you don't mind, but I invited Frank over for dinner tonight.
No, great. I love winding him up, especially about the GAA.
I thought you might be going out or something?
Not at all. Dinner sounds like great fun.
I think they want to be alone. Oh, right.
I'll tell Dean to make himself scarce as well.
Thanks. OK.
Louise. What can I get you?
Well, you could get a few extra shifts for Dean.
The customers like him and he loves it here.
Listen, he's a bit short of a few quid.
OK. No promises.
But he knows his way around a kitchen, alright.
Thank you. I'd better get the paper.
I want to look at the jobs pages. I'll go with you.
Carol's got a few runs for me. But it's your day off.
I know, but Dean, you know? I want to get him a few extra quid.
Give him a hand out. I'm looking forward to it.
I'll be working with a purpose, for a change.
You're a good dad. I've got a lot of years to make up.
I don't know if visiting is such a good idea.
I heard he's refusing physio. I think we all know why.
I'm not here to upset you.
I know we can't explain away what we did.
But we still care.
I know you don't want to hear this, Dan, but you're gonna need help.
We could live together, just like we planned.
At least until you're getting more confident.
Roommates? It would make things easier for you.
(CHUCKLES) I want to help.
How pathetic do you think I am? I am sorry, Dan.
Sorry you got caught. Who else is gonna help you?
I'd advise you to just leave, OK? You can't do this on your own.
You know that's the truth. I don't want you to end up in a home.
Just get the hell out, will you?!
Bronagh!
I'll be back in the gym tomorrow. Great. I'll let them know.
And I want some pen and a paper.
I need to be able to write my signature again.
That'll come back with the cognitive exercises.
We agreed to prioritise other areas. No.
I want that power of attorney back now.
OK. Good to see the fight back in you.
But if it's driven by anger, it won't last.
I don't need the lecture. Just get me what I asked for, please.
Hey. Hey.
Erm... So... You and the guard. You're going well?
Yeah. Kerri-Ann's cooking him dinner tonight.
Oh! Sounds lovely. I can't decide what to make.
You can never go far wrong with a roast chicken.
And sausage stuffing. Mounds of potatoes. And thick gravy.
I might go for something fancier.
Yeah, yeah. You're probably right. I'll see you.
See you.
How would you feel about doing a few extra shifts?
I thought this was on trial basis only?
You're showing promise. Yeah, I'll think about it.
Don't blow me away with your enthusiasm.
I thought you needed the money.
OK, Leo might have said something. He's looking out for you.
What, by telling the world I can't pay my bills?
What's this really about? I'll let you know about them shifts.
Forget it. I don't need somebody here who doesn't want to be here.
But you might want to tell your da that.
Oh, you're back. I didn't see your car outside.
You know, there's a fair bit of admin stuff in here
I might be good for.
Kerri-Ann gave me her keys. I'm meeting her here later.
She's going to show me some good online sites for jobs.
Leo?
What's wrong? Leo. Sorry. What did you say?
You look awful. I'm OK. I'm OK.
You're not. What happened? I'm OK, alright?
Please tell me.
In the taxi. I got mugged!
I mean, they were quiet. No trouble.
The guy in the passenger seat, I was talking to him about football.
They told me to pull over.
Go on.
The guy that was sitting directly behind me, the passenger seat,
he grabbed hold of my neck, really hard.
Then I felt something sticking into my neck.
The guy in the passenger seat had a syringe!
He said he was gonna stab me!
The lowlifes.
They took everything. They took my wallet, the money. They took the car.
If I got my hands on them, I'd wring their necks for them.
Paula, please, please, please.
Look, it's over. It's done. What did the guards say?
No, I came back here, directly.
I couldn't sit through all those questions.
Of course. We'll head down to the station together when you're ready.
No. There's no point.
They can't get away with something like that.
(KNOCKING) Don't say anything.
It's Kerri-Ann. Paula, please.
Hey. I got way too much food and I still can't decide what to make.
I was thinking a Thai green curry. Have you ever tried Thai?
Don't worry, Paula, I have a few minutes to go online with you.
That can wait. Actually, Leo's not feeling great.
No, no. I'm good. You two go ahead.
Will you be OK for tonight? Yeah.
Yeah, we're gonna keep out of your way, OK?
OK. I'll put these in the kitchen.
You shouldn't be going out this evening.
Listen, she might start talking.
She's going to find out. She'll tell Frank!
That's not a bad idea. He is a guard.
Leo, you're not OK.
I'm feeling much better now. I don't want anybody fussing over me.
All I need is a shower, just get myself cleaned up, alright?
You go ahead and you do your thing, alright?
Dermot and I were saying we'd all go for a drink. And Damien.
This evening? Yes. We could get a babysitter.
OK. I think I'll be meeting someone later.
The journalist woman? Nina. You didn't think much of her?
No. It's her ethics that I question.
Look, You know her better than I do, I'm sure.
Are the two of you dating? No.
For what it is worth, all relationships are difficult,
especially when two people don't share the same morals.
Is that why you fell for me, my morals?
You opened your heart up to this woman once
and she published it all over the papers.
I think Laura can make up her own mind about her friends.
Of course she can.
I'd better go in and see Charlie. We'll go for that drink soon.
And tell Damien, yeah? I will.
You know, Jo is the apple of my eye,
but occasionally she gives advice that wasn't asked for.
Well, you were right, Dermot. I can make up my own mind.
I think you already have.
How are you? How are you doing? Dean, yeah?
Yeah. How are you? How are you doing?
You're early. Whoa. You look nice.
You see? I told you.
OK, that's my cue. Good luck.
Remember, you're an officer of the law.
Cheers.
I brought this. It looks nice.
So... Everybody's out? Yeah. We're all alone.
Are you sure you didn't arrange this? Maybe.
Maybe we could skip dinner, go straight to dessert.
I'm kidding. I'm starving.
Just something simple I whipped up. Thai green curry.
Oh... That's got coconut milk in it, right?
Yeah. Loads of it.
I can't eat that. Brings me out in a rash.
You never said. Sorry.
It's not very sexy. I can eat the rice.
No. I was so stupid. What are we going to do now?
Have you got any menus?
You're still in shock. You should be at home.
No. Kerri-Ann. I said...
If she knew the truth, she wouldn't care about her dinner.
You didn't say anything to her? No.
I went in to see him. It was awful. I've never seen Dan so cold.
He's angry. The look on his face, Robbie...
You can't really blame him.
Maybe you should stay out of his way for a while.
Great, thanks for the advice.
Maybe you should just get back to work.
Maybe she's right. There's nothing you can do for him now.
He has no-one. And that's all our fault.
Come on. I'll get you a drink.
Hey. So you're my agent now, are you?
What? Trying to get me extra shifts?
Oh, look, I'm sorry.
I know you don't like the fighting,
but you don't have to organise my whole life.
Go easy on your da. He's had a rough day.
You have to tell him. Da?
Leo was mugged. In his taxi. Are you OK?
Yeah. I'm fine. Did you get a good look at them?
What do the guards say?
He says it's a waste of time going to the guards.
Da, you have to, even for the insurance on the car.
Let me handle this in my own way. I said we could talk to Frank.
Yeah. Sure, he's over in the house.
I promised Kerri-Ann. She was looking forward to this.
I think they'll understand. You have to talk to him.
No. If you don't, I will.
Ah, Dan, it's after seven. You should be resting.
You can't push yourself too hard. Come on. That's enough.
I can go further.
I'm back where I started. No, you're not.
I feel weaker than ever.
You just need to be calm and focused when you do this.
You can't let what happened with Carol affect your recovery.
What recovery? Self-pity won't help anyone.
I'm sick of listening to you. I want another nurse.
So you keep saying, but it won't change anything.
I don't trust you. You were probably talking to Carol.
Was it your idea, her offering to live with me?
Calm down. You all think I'm desperate!
I'd settle for anything!
Great. I didn't talk to Carol.
Just get out. I told you to calm down.
Leave! What happened, huh?
Look, it's OK, Dan. I forgot.
Look, your mind was elsewhere. No.
I have to change you.
I'll organise your clothes
and I'll get the healthcare assistant to help you, OK?
I'll be back in a sec.
Well, my sweet and sour was lovely. How was your King Pao?
Yeah, delicious.
We could go out, meet up with Dean.
Do you want to go out? No, not really.
Good, cos I was thinking I wanted to kiss you.
Oh. OK.
How was that? Passion wise? Not bad.
We could go upstairs. Or not.
No. That's the plan.
You sure? Yeah.
I'm so, so sorry, Kerri-Ann. Frank, we need a word.
(LEO) This is not my idea.
My dad was attacked. In his cab. We want to report it.
No, I don't. Da, they're not gonna get away with this.
Were you attacked? Yes, I was, but I'm OK now.
No, you're not. It's over! Let's just leave it!
They took his car. They took his money.
They threatened to kill him.
I'm here to help, Leo. That's my job.
So what would you call that? What we just did?
A drink? That's all?
I might have polished off a few cashew nuts.
So, just two mates enjoying a pint.
There's nothing wrong with that. Jo Fahey warned me off you.
Did it work? She says you're a muck raker.
If I could be war correspondent for the New York Times, I would be.
I'm just trying to climb the ladder. Where would you draw the line?
The truth? I don't know.
OK. New rule. No work talk on a date.
Oh! So it was a date, not just a drink.
You're devious. Taxi rank's that way.
I'll see you around. I did miss you, you know.
Good. Did you miss me? Even a little bit?
Next time, you text me.
(PAULA) How did it go? Good.
Do you want to take a seat, Da?
Going down to the station was the right move.
They'll never track them down.
They may have records. That'll help.
It wasn't the first time they did it.
Especially the guy in the passenger seat.
He was enjoying it.
Don't go over this again. Let me get you something to eat.
No, I'm OK, thanks. Maybe a strong cup of tea?
You probably want to go up to bed. You must be wrecked.
I'll make the tea and Paula can bring it up to you.
Stop fussing, will you? I think I will go to bed.
I'll be up in a minute.
I'd better be heading. I'll keep you all informed.
Yeah. Thanks, Frank.
Not the night you were expecting. I feel terrible.
I basically kicked Leo out after he'd been mugged.
Kerri-Ann, you didn't know.
So, rain check? Yeah, sure.
Thanks for helping out. No problem.
He's definitely still in shock.
He wasn't even supposed to be working.
What do you mean? He had the day off.
But he wanted to raise a bit of extra cash.
For me?
You look awful.
I suppose I'm the last person
you want to see walking through that door.
But you never leave a man behind, remember that?
Even if that man hates your guts.
I don't care.
You. Carol. The bar. I don't care any more.
Yes, you do.
You hate us. And you're right.
Look at me. Of course she left me.
Look, man, you're angry. Good.
Use that. Get better and shove it back in our faces.
I'm not angry. I'm done.
Dan. Leave me alone.
No.
Do you want me to get a nurse to throw you out?
Hey. What are you doing up?
I didn't mean to wake you. No, it's fine.
Paula said that you had the day off.
No, I wanted to work.
Yeah. We both know why.
You needed a bit of help, so...
Look, Da, you may have lost your cash and your car,
but the main thing is you're OK.
Dean, you shouldn't have got Frank involved.
The guards had to know. No. This has all happened before.
The Bishops? Yeah. They made my life hell.
I can't go through that again. This is different.
This is a once-off. It's behind you. No, it's not.
They took my ID. They can find out where I live.
Why would they be bothered?
They told me not to say a word to the guards.
They swore to me that if I did,
they'd make it their business to come and get me.
