02x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Dennis is dead near on
a year, why are you here now?

Really, I am sorry, I just...
Wanted to meet your family.

I've been discreet, keeping my
visits to once a month, but with

Ruairi gone it's different now Val.

You should have told
the girls about him years ago.

I didn't think I'd have to.

Did you know Elaine is moving here?
She got herself a job.

I told mum not to say anything today.

Mum?!
Or Elaine or mum or whatever.

I heard something.

I don't know what's going on!

How did they get in?

Why wasn't the alarm set?

Because Calum takes pictures...
What's the point of having an alarm...

Can everyone just stop!

I refuse to let whoever did this
reduce us to a general bloody panic.

This has to be about dad's death.

Now we don't know that for certain.

Is there another huge
lie you've told recently?

She's right, what else could it refer to?

How did they even get in?

There's no sign of break in.

But I'm sure I locked the
back door before I went to bed.

Where was the lipstick?

In my bag.

In the kitchen.

So they had a good look around first.

Unless they were already in the house.

You said yourself Calum's been
asking a lot of questions lately.

No way, he wouldn't do this!
I'm calling Joe.

No, you're not.

The last thing we need now are
the guards breathing down our necks again.

Mum, this is serious.

Someone broke into our
house while we were sleeping.

Someone was walking around your bedroom.

You can't just
stick your head in the sand.

Somebody was here.

Somebody who knows.

You're not involving the Guards Grace,
because I already know who it was.

It's Finn, it has to be, it's
the only thing that makes any sense.

How does it?

How does he know that we lied?

Well, he told Anna
he's been here for over a week.

And people talk.

Who knows what he's heard.

You really think he's
capable of something like this?

Well, that's just the point, isn't it?

You have no idea what he's capable of.

Where were the boys?
They were asleep.

We were all asleep.

What about the alarm?

We haven't been using it.

Calum goes out early
for walks taking pictures.

He set it off a few times.

It'll be on from now on.

Maybe they should come and stay with me.

Absolutely not!

I'm just thinking of their safety.

You have no idea who
Finn is, he could be dangerous.

Were you talking to him at the party?

Yeah, for a minute.

Yeah.
Why?

Just wondering maybe
you let something slip.

Anna!

I mean, not deliberately, but in
passing maybe said something that

made him question.

Sorry, so you're asking what if I accidentally
blurted out my guilt to Dennis' son?

How stupid do you think I am?

Okay, can we just all take a breath here?

I mean, it could just be a
bunch of local kids playing a prank.

I just thought it
better if you were informed.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

Well the boys will be up soon, you
should go or they might want to know

what's going on.

I'll walk you out.

Early riser.

Never been much of a sleeper.

Well you get that from your dad.

Dennis only ever needed five hours
a night, he was up before the birds.

Look I'm sorry he didn't do right
by you, I never approved of that.

I've been thinking, have
you ever done any labouring?

Bricklaying, plastering, fitting.

If you fancy earning a few bob we
could always do with an extra pair

of hands on the site.

Sure.

Thanks.

The least I could do.

Was he like you?
My dad?

Dennis and I could not
have been more different.

Call down to the site after lunch,
I'll introduce you to Tommy, the foreman.

Did you see how defensive she was?

Doesn't that make you suspicious?

Elaine didn't do this, don't
forget she has the most to lose.

They're becoming so attached to her,

she can do no wrong
as far as Calum is concerned.

Listen, it's easy to be a weekend
parent, you are the one who's been

there through every sickness, every
loss that's what being a real mother is.

Morning love, how did you sleep?
Good.

What's going on?
Why was Elaine round here?

Nothing, just family stuff.

Find what you're looking for?

Looks impressive.

It will be.

So have you and Frank
been working together long?

About six months now.

He looks after the site and staff
and I handle design, marketing and

sales, look here.

Granite kitchen islands, just got a deal
for one for every home on the estate.

Looks expensive.

Exactly.

Supplier needed to
shift it and in I swooped.

Don't tell Frank though, it's a surprise.

Mam, I was thinking maybe I should
postpone the opening of the cafe.

What, why would you do that?!

I put a lot on the line for this,
all the money from dad, plus the

loan for the refurbishment, not
to mention the months of planning.

You said yourself, we don't
know what Finn might be capable of.

Listen, you do not need to worry
about this, I can take care of it.

How exactly?

Well I'm just gonna pay him to go back
into whatever hole he crawled out of.

You and dad think
money solves everything.

No, I just think
you're being a bit naive.

I mean, come on,
everyone has a price Grace.

Just trust me will ya.

This is your dream and I am not gonna
let anyone take that away from you.

Come on.

If this goes pear shaped it's on you.

They'll k*ll you,
you should probably quit!

Are you gonna start telling
me what to do now as well?

No.

Have you talked to you
mother about Singapore yet?

I'm not even supposed to
know she's looking at flights.

You should just tell
her you don't want to go.

She just won't tell me
anything, treats me like a child.

Do you think maybe you
should talk to somebody about it?

You seem... well like you've not
been in a good place for a while now

My father just died.

I know.

I thought you'd understand.

Calum, I do.

Calum, I'm trying to.

Calum!

There's no sign of any
infection, Mrs. Kennedy.

So I'm gonna say it's just a virus.

A couple of days rest and
plenty of fluids should sort it out.

Are you not going
to give me antibiotics?!

Oh, antibiotics don't
work on viral infections.

I'd rather you just
gave me a dose, just in case.

I understand what you're saying,
but you really don't need them.

So you're saying
you won't give them to me?

I guess I am.

You're welcome.

Hey, hey!

Hey Finn!

What is it you want, is it money?

Where is this coming from?
Like you don't know.

I don't know.

There's nothing for you here.

Dad's dead, we all have lives
to live, you may as well just leave.

So you're angry with me for being here?

Or with your dad for shagging about?

Because you can't blame me for that!

Just go home.

Whatever you're looking
for, you won't find it here.

Grace!

Come on, we'll talk inside.
Yeah.

Did they take anything or move anything?

No, just scribbled on
the mirror in her lipstick.

What do you want me to do?

Mam says do nothing, so we do nothing.

Even though it affects us
all, even though we're all scared.

Unless she tells us it's
okay first, we can do nothing.

It's pathetic!
I'm sure she means well.

She does, but that's
not what always is best for me.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm scared Joe.

Sorry...

Sorry.

Come in.

Oh hey, it is so good to be back.

Mrs. Kennedy just left my office,
she said you were rude and patronising.

Well, that's not true.

You know how much hassle a
complaint can bring down on top of us.

So what, I should start prescribing medicine
to patients that they don't actually need?

No.

I just want to make sure you're
taking this seriously, that you've

the best interests of
the clinic at heart this time.

And that better be
the last complaint I get.

Jesus!
Is he okay?

Yeah.

He's alright.

You okay?

Oh, you're Finn right?

I met you at the Aherns, I'm Cathy.

Joe's wife.

Not married, yet.

I just saw him actually.

Hey.

Calum, this is a nice surprise.

Just wanted to give
you this, house warming gift.

Thank you!

Can I come in?

Of course!

Hey.

Sorry I didn't mean
to... did I scare you?

No, you didn't scare me.

Is everything okay with Grace?

Why?

I just bumped into her earlier, she seemed
a little bit upset about me being here.

I just wonder if
you knew anything about that?

Well, you know, she has an
awful lot on her mind at the moment,

I wouldn't worry about it.

I just think if me and you had
the chance to proper clear the air.

Put to bed any confusion about
me being here looking for money.

Well are you?

I'm offended Val.

Just answer the question!

Do you think I'm owed money?

I think this is a very complicated
situation and we all need time to get

our heads around it, so if you
would just, you just respect that.

Of course.

You Tommy?
Who's asking?

I'm Finn, my uncle Frank said
I should report to you for day labouring.

Uncle?!

Yeah, Dennis was my dad.

Right, Jesus, I get it.

He got around didn't he!

Yeah, well I get the
feeling he weren't all that liked.

Depends on whose side you're on.

How do you mean?
His or yours.

Ah, good, you've met.
Just now.

So you think you
could find a spot for him?

I suppose I'll have to.

Listen, I need to
talk to you about the wages.

Yeah, what about them?

I checked last night and again
this morning, they haven't hit my account.

You sure?
Like I said I checked twice.

Must be some sort of a glitch at the bank,
I'll give them a call and get it sorted out.

Right so, you're with me.

It's stunning.

Do you think?
I do.

I love it, it's perfect, thank you.

Thank you.

You're brilliant.

Hey, you look tired.

I haven't been sleeping much lately.

Why don't you rest here for a while?

Take a load off.

You were at Val's house together?

Yeah, that's right.

Mum won't tell me what's going on.

Will you?

Hey.

Grace mentioned
you had a visitor last night.

Despite the fact that I
specifically asked her not to.

Yeah, if only there was someone you
could call when you had a break in!

Honestly, it's nothing to worry about.

You don't know that.

Just trust me on this one, okay, it
was just a practical joke played by

an estranged family member.

Do you want me to have a word with them?

No.

I don't want him to think we're onto him.

I mean, if you wanted to do
something you might just do a little

digging for me.

We don't pull records for personal use.

No of course not, I know that.

We know nothing about him and
you know how vulnerable Grace is.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Okay.

So someone was there
while we were sleeping?

Why did she call you?

Because Jacob and you were in the
house at the time and she just felt

I should be kept informed, there
really isn't anything to worry about.

Then why did they invite
you over the crack of dawn?

Look I only told you because I don't
think it's right to keep things from you.

But please just stay out of it,
your gran will do what she thinks is right.

Now get some rest, I'll make us
something to eat and then I'll run

you home later.

I can walk.
No, no, no, not at all.

I promised Jacob I'd bring
him over my old phone anyway.

Here.

We're not open.

It's just me, I wanted to drop these
things off before your big opening tomorrow.

Alannah you've already given too much.

Aw, they look great.

The whole place does,
you must be really proud.

Grace?

It's fine.

No sit, sit.

It's normal to be nervous.

It's a big step for you going it alone.

It's what I want, stand on my own
two feet, not rely on anyone else.

But I don't know if that's possible here.

Too many ghosts.

I get that.

I've a flat in Dublin,
if you need some space.

Thank you.

It's okay.

Did you bring it?

I always keep my promises.

Brilliant!
Thank you.

Aw, you're very welcome.

I can help you set it up.

Night-night.

Did you just give Jacob a phone?

Yeah, it's not new or anything.

That's not the point though is it?

He lost the last one and we agreed
you'd pay for half the new one.

I wasn't even using it.

I'm trying to teach him something
here, about the value of things.

I appreciate that.

But to be honest, I just miss being
able to speak to my son without

always having to go directly through you.

But I didn't mean any disrespect,
if it makes you feel uncomfortable,

I'll take it back.

And that just makes
me what? The bad guy.

Just forget it, it's done.

Anyway, I'm bringing them
back to Singapore at midterm.

So it might come in useful.

You can't do that.

They just lost their
father and their grandfather.

They need their stability.

Maybe I'm not being clear.

I won't let you do that.

If you try to stand in
our way, I'll go to the guards.

And I'll tell them everything.
Anna, stop.

You think you'd get
off scot free in that scenario?

You have heard of
perverting the course of justice.

Tell her mam, tell her
it's what's best for the boys.

Anna, Anna, be reasonable love.

I don't believe this!

I don't f*cking believe this!

Please don't take to heart what she said.

She's threatening me.

No she's not, she's just
panicking, she's, she's terrified,

she's not thinking clearly.

Okay, well I am, so
you can tell her this from me.

If she makes any attempt to take my
children out of this country without

my consent, I will
apply for full legal custody.

From what I can see,
they'd be a hell of a lot safer

out of this family for good.

She won't take them to
Singapore, I'll make sure of it.

Hi, I thought I'd bring breakfast.

Did you get much sleep last night?

I have a new baby, sleeplessness
comes with the territory.

I've been thinking of how good
you've been to me over the years and

when I was sick you were the one
that was always turning up and I

just want you to know
how much I appreciated that.

And that I'm here for you too.

Where is this coming from?

I don't know how to say
this other than just to say it.

I saw a red mark on Noah's leg a
few days ago and I know how hard

it's been and you're
frustrated and exhausted and...

Sorry, are you accusing
me of hurting my own baby?

No I just want to understand
and to help if you need it.

They're called Strawberry birthmarks.

Google it.

You can take your coffee and
your appreciation and your f*cking

judgmental eyes out of my house, now!

You know I have to
say, I think it's rich.

You of all people
questioning my mental stability!

Get out!

Tommy, what the hell's going on?!

You're contracted
to work until six o'clock.

Well I'll tell you where you
can put that contract now Frank.

With the wages that still
haven't appeared in my account.

I was on to the bank, okay, they're
trying to get to the bottom of it.

You're telling me as it stands,
you don't have the money to pay me.

No, I do.
Well I did, it's...

You can't pay us but I hear that
you can splash out 30 grand on posh

granite worktops for
kitchens that aren't even built yet!

Does that sound fair to you?
Well what's going on?

It's the wages haven't been paid.

So what, you're
leaving halfway through a job?

What do you think that's
gonna do for your reputation?

What f*cking
business is it of yours?Hey!

I'm your boss and you and your men
better get back to work or I'll have

you replaced by the morning.

Well good luck with that, because
by tonight I'll make sure every

contractor in Munster knows
exactly what sort of a sh*t show

you're operating here!

All right lads.

f*ck sake!

Is it not freezing?

The cold water brings you close to
your pain barrier, it's euphoric.

Can I come?

Sure.

I'm not a strong swimmer
Stick to the shallows.

Let's have you.

Whoa!
You got to get you head in.

You ready?
Go for it.

Come on!

You ready?
Yeah.

Calum?

Calum!

Calum, Finn!

What was that?
f*cking hell!

You okay?
Yeah.

That's good, brings you close man.
Yeah.

Clears your head.

Done well.

For God's sake, out!

Out of the water.

Calum, come on, now!

Calum!

Let's go.

You could have drowned.

I had him, he was safe.

Seeing as I don't know you from Adam,
I don't find that terribly reassuring.

Come on, let's go home.
I'm fine.

It's freezing you need a hot shower!
Just leave me alone.

I'll be home in a bit, yeah?

That was intense.

Tell me about it.

She still treats me
like I'm six years old.

You're lucky you know...

Never even knew my dad.

If you have any questions, you can ask.

I'd like to see where he died.

How did you get your scar?

Long story, I'll tell you some time.

You?

I was in a house fire, when I was a kid.

I'm going swimming
tonight, you should come.

In the dark, it's on a
whole different level altogether.

Yeah, sure.

Come in.

Oh my God, oh my God it's amazing!

Oh, I got prosecco.

Oh Alannah already dropped off champagne.

Anna, will you do the honours?

It looks beautiful.
Thank you.

Ah God.

Thank you.

A toast.

We wish you all the luck in the world.

Grace we're all so proud of you.

To Grace; to Grace's cafe.

To Grace's cafe.

I wanted it to be a surprise.

Well it was, well done.

It was a total f*cking surprise that
you took the money that was meant

for the wages and you spent it
on 30 grand's worth of countertops.

Obviously I didn't realise the
margins were so tight this month.

Well then why didn't you ask me?

You know that I'm in charge
of managing the budget and the

contractors and the schedules, big surprises
are the last thing I bloody need!

Congratulations.

It looks brilliant.

Thanks.

So Cathy didn't come?

No, she said she was
tired, so she sends her love.

Can we talk?
Maybe later.

Ah, here he is.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Look, I get why you're not
thrilled to see me, really I do.

All I'm asking for is a chance.

So are you only
kissing blood relatives then!?

Anything yet?

Put out some feelers,
probably take a few days.

But I was thinking
you should change your locks.

Maybe he has a key.

Thank you.

Really sorry about before, I just...

I have to say this out
loud or I'm going to regret it.

I love you.

Always have.

I tried to make it go away, but it won't.

Stop.

I will, if that's what you want, but
if there's any chance at all that

you might feel the
same then... I don't know.

Maybe we can salvage something.

It's not about us anymore.

It's about your family.

They don't deserve this.

I refuse to be a homewrecker, I've
seen what that does to a family.

So yes, I love you.

No.

This is about professionalism,
I've always done right by people.

Business associates, when they
didn't trust Dennis for years they

would still sign the contracts with
us, because they knew that whatever

shenanigans Dennis was up to, they
could still put their faith in me.

And what you did today
completely undermined that.

I'll speak with him.

I really don't think
that's the best route to take.

Uncle Frank, Grace just
wants a word before you go.

Oh, okay, see you back in the car.

Everything okay between you two?
Yeah.

He's a real sweetheart.

Yeah he is, I'd hate to see him get hurt.

Me too.

Handsome isn't he?

Is he?
I hadn't noticed.

Okay, anyway, I've got a
couple of calls to make so...

Good night.

Why do I get the feeling Uncle Frank
is totally out of his depth with her

He's a big boy.

He can learn to look after himself.

Is everyone okay?
Mam?

I'm fine, I'm fine,
it's nothing, don't fuss.

Jesus, Finn!

Do we need to call an ambulance?

No, I think I should be able to handle this,
we'll have to go to the surgery though.

Come on.

Ladies and gentlemen, we promised
you an exciting evening, you can't

say we didn't deliver, safe home.

He could be a difficult
man sometimes, hard to love.

You may have dodged a b*llet there.

He must have been so proud of you.

You're so impressive.

A doctor...

..beautiful.

No one saw anything.

Or at least that's what they're saying.

Will you be okay?

What if it's the
same person that broke in?

That brick barely missed your head.

There's no point thinking like that.

Who didn't come?

Who wasn't here when it happened?

It could have been worse,
I mean someone could have been hurt.

Someone was hurt mam!

No I mean badly hurt, I mean once
this window of yours is fixed you'll

be up and running in no time.

You amaze me you know that.

I told you yesterday I should
postpone this in case something like

this happened and you convinced me.

You're just upset.
Of course I'm upset!

Look at the damage you've done in
the past 12 months in your crusade

to try to protect us.
That's enough Grace.

You're right, it's more than enough,
it's too much, I want you both to leave.

I mean it, this is my
property, I want you both gone.

So what about Nell's dad?

He's not around, it's not
what I wanted, but there you go.

You turned out all
right without your dad around.

Depends on your definition of all right.

So what about you, you
got a girlfriend out there or...

No.

Why are you interested?

What? No, I...
Oh so you're not interested.

That's not...

Just forget I said anything.

Because I have thought
about it, about kissing you.

Then why haven't you?

Because it would complicate an
already very complicated situation.

And your mum's just looking
for any excuse to send me packing.

And I don't want to go to just yet.

Shame.

What about your big speech?

I had to see what I was missing.

Good night.

Hi, do you want a lift?

You said you wanted to talk, let's talk.

Okay.

Where do you want to start?

Well how about why you're
here and what you want from us?

I don't want anything.

Because you should know I
won't let anyone hurt my family.

I don't want to hurt anyone.

See the truth is, this
is the only family I have left.

What about your mother?

She died when I was seven.

From then on I was
living in foster homes.

I thought you knew.

Well how could I, I mean up until
a couple of days ago I didn't even

know you were alive.

Well now you do.

All patched up?

Good as new.

Great.

We were worried about you.

No need.

So, any luck finding a new contractor?

Just a misunderstanding,
we'll sort something out.

Glad to hear it, because I'm
actually really enjoying the work.

And I really appreciate
the opportunity, Frank, the job.

How kind you're being to me, both of you.

It's nothing.

No it is something, so I want
to be truthful to you in return.

When you reached out to me
and told me that my dad had died,

you said how sorry you were that
I never had the chance to meet him.

Yeah, yeah and I meant that.

But I did meet him, more than once.

He's the one who told me to come here.

So what do we do?

Nothing.

Well can we get covered up?

I'll get Frank on to it first thing.

Best if we're not seen anywhere near it.

So we just pretend
it has nothing to do with us.

Trust me.

Sometimes the best
reaction is no reaction at all.

Dennis taught me that.

You ready to go?

Yeah, just had to get my togs.

Hey Finn...

My dad didn't k*ll Dennis.

What makes you say that?

He pretty much told me before he died,
but I knew my dad, he wasn't a m*rder*r.

Then who did it?

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

You want some help?
