She died when I was seven.

Then I was living
in foster homes.

Played the game...

You really think
Calum's friends did that?

Seems sort of what
they might do.

The day that's in it.

Since when does a bench
facing your house

say "Happy Birthday!" on it?

It says the same thing that
everything else

that's been going on says,
"I'm watching you."

- Is there any word from Grace?

Oh, she's fine, Mam.

She'll be back
when she feels like it.

She just needs some space.

Yeah, but where is she?
Did your text say anything--

"Out of here
for a few days.

Phone turned off."

Why did she have to do that?
Turn her phone off.

Hey, come on in.

I'm full.

And?

The birthday boy?

Okay, I'm gonna have a shower.

Is it good?

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Well, maybe you should
tell her that.

What's all this?

Auntie A's stuff.

Dad gave it to me
after she died.

I'm just trying to pool
everything I possibly can
together.

See what our options are.

What options?

I want us to get out of here.

Out of this house.

- Where?
- I don't know.

But I promise I won't
make any decision

about us moving without talking
it though with you first. Okay?

Thanks for the breakfast.

And the presents.

You're welcome, love.

You're gonna invite Ingrid
to your barbecue?

Yeah. Did you invite Elaine?

She's coming.

- What did she get you?
- I don't know.

But she said she was going
into town this morning.

- So you said
he's sixteen?
- Er, yeah.

Lots to choose from.

Is he into fantasy, sci-fi?

What about graphic novels?

- Erm, I--

Oh. Sorry.

Erm, oh.

Uh, erm, I'm so sorry.

I might come back later.

- No worries.
- But thank you so much.

- No worries.
- Thank you. Bye.

So have you or have you not
got Tommy to come back yet?

Just--just--
Forget about Tommy.

He isn't the only show in town.

I've got a list of other
cheaper contractors

that we can use.

Jesus, Frank,
you and your lists.

Let me guess, nobody's willing
to jump into Tommy's boots

while they're still warm?

You know, it's okay, Frank.

I'll sort it myself but first
I want a word with Finn.

Do you know where
he was last night?

He was at home. Why?

I'd like to discuss
that with Finn.

Yeah, well, you're not gonna
find him out here.

He opened up his wound again
cleaning up around the site.

He's at the doctor's.

Your Jenny's back
working there, isn't she?

High pain threshold.

- No. I'm crying inside.

Now, there's too much sharing
nowadays if you ask me.

Push it all down into
a tight little space

- and get on with it.
- Mm.

So you like a guy
who hides his feelings?

I thought you were scared
of my mother.

Maybe I shouldn't have been.

Maybe she's scared of me.

It would be a mistake
to think that.

Yeah.

So, what do I owe ya?

I heard it's
pay for play around here.

You can settle up outside.

They don't trust you
with the cash.

- Don't believe
everything you hear.
- Ah.

Anyway, I'll see you around?

Don't know when, though.

I think Calum's barbecue?

Ah. Yeah. It's a date.

It's not. Erm...

- But I will be there.
- Yeah.

I'll be there as well.

- Okay.
- Jenny!

What's going on?

Don't know.

- You are not listening to me.
- I am listening to you.

- Jenny!
- Michael?

How could you do this to me?

- Okay, back off, chum.
- Finn! It's fine. It's fine.

Michael, what is wrong?
What are you doing?

She's mine!
Nell is mine, isn't she?

Er, Michael--

You can't--!

How did you think you were
going to get away with this?

Huh? Is it because
you're an Ahern?

One law for you lot,
another for the rest of us?

- What's going on?
- Ask her.

Ask that thief you have
working for you!

She had our baby
without telling me.

- Michael. Michael, please--
- Don't touch me, Jen!

My office, Jenny. Now.

- So, that was...
- My ex-husband.

Yeah.

- Kevin, I can explain.
- Jen, I'm sorry, but--

That's it.

You brought this on yourself.

This is your fault.

It had to have been
someone in the family.

You're the only ones
I ever told.

Yes, but it's not
just us you told.

You told Frank.
Now I'm not saying

he said anything himself
but Finn is staying with them.

Mum...

I just lost my job.

Michael could sue me,

he could even take
Nell away! Jesus!

He is not gonna do that.
Come on.

How do you know?!
How do you know
what he'll do?

All you care about is
pinning it on Finn.

Finn... tried to protect me.

He thought Michael
was going to hurt me.

Wait. Finn was there?

- At the surgery?
- Of course, he was.

Wasn't enough for him
to light the fuse.

He needed to see it
go off for himself.

- Like he did at the café.
- Do you even yourself?

It doesn't make any sense.

Why would he do that?
Why would he do any of it?

You have this idea that Finn is
out to mess with us.

Why?!

- Why?!
- It's money, you know?

He thinks we're gonna
pay him off.

What money?

There wasn't any inheritance

and the insurance is long gone.

- At least you
got a share, Anna.
- Don't start Jenny.

That embryo didn't just
fall into your handbag.

- What did you say?
- Stop this.

This is exactly what he wants.

Us at each other's throats.

How many things have to happen

before you see this
can't be a coincidence?

It is Finn. All of it.
It has to be.

Now, more than ever
we need to stick together.

We keep him out.

We give him nothing.
We tell him nothing.

As long as we do that,
he won't be able to get to us.

Thank you, Mary.
That was very

Anybody else who would like to
share with us this morning?

- Please.
- Thank you. Er, hi.

I'm Elaine.

- Hi, Elaine.
- Hi.

And I am...

A ginger.

- Sorry.

I'm...

I'm an alcoholic
and it's been...

six years

two months, twelve days
since my last drink.

Sorry. I've got--

Allergies.
Sorry.

Ah, so today...

Today is my
eldest son's birthday.

And he and his brother
haven't been living with me

since they were quite small.

And I'm trying to make up
for lost time.

You know, if that's possible.

I haven't even
bought him a present yet.

And not for the reasons
I used to have

for not getting him one.

You know, too drunk...

forgot, didn't care.

I'm afraid of getting it wrong.

Because if I get it wrong,
it's like admitting

I don't know him.

That I lost him back then.

And that I will, erm...

Sorry.

Part of why I feel today
is so hard...

is because it
reminds me that...

he almost didn't have
any more birthdays.

He almost died...

when he was a child.

In a fire.

A fire that I always
thought was my fault.

But it wasn't.

And I lived with
that guilt for a long time,

it kept me from my children.

And by the time I found out,

it wasn't me, it was too late
to do anything about it.

And that's my challenge.

To forgive, to move on,

to be better every day

and above all, stay sober.

Thank you.

Thank you, Elaine.

Thanks for sharing
that with us.

Anybody else who would like
to share with us?

Elaine.

Elaine.

Please leave me alone.

Now, look,
I didn't know you'd be there.

And what you heard in there--

Stays in there.

Honestly, I know how
the fellowship works.

I'll find another meeting.

If there's one today,
I'll take it.

Feel like I need it.

There's one in Ballagh.

At mid-day.

- How long have you--?
- Been sober?

Yeah.

A couple of years.

Okay.

You won't get it
wrong with Calum.

No matter what you do,

he's your son.

And he wants you in his life.

How would you know that?

Calum's actually one of
the only ones

around here I feel I do know.

He's a great kid.

Going through a lot of stuff.

I mean, his dad
killed his grandad.

It's bound to mess with you.

I'm not sure you should be
talking to him about that.

Well, at least he was
talking to me.

About Denis being my dad now.

All right. I gotta go.

You want to get Calum
a present, right?

Well, if you wanted a hint,

I know something that
would really blow his mind.

All right, I don't want
you second guessing

what you think
I'd might have loved or...

what would have made me proud.

I'm proud of you
just by being yourself.

There's just one thing.

What?

Don't go into
the family business.

The Ahern business.

Why?

There's such a thing
as too close.

The Aherns can have a way of
dragging you into their dramas.

I just want you to do...

what you want to do.

Did you get dragged
into something?

- Hiya, man.
- Hey.

What's happening?

- Hey, killer.
- Who's that?

You ever piss off, Andy?

I don't think you want to be
talking to me that way.

Unless it's all bullshit.

How you never hurt a fly.

So which is it?

- Huh?! Which is it?
- Yo, Calum!

Is there a problem?

Andy, come on.

We're not done here, yeah?

Happy birthday, man.

It's not brand new, but...

at least the next time
you see your friends,

you'll have something
to show them, eh?

Where you off to?
I thought we were going
to the beach.

Andy Dillon showed up.

But Finn scared him off.

Hi, Ingrid.

Hey, Finn.

Have you thought about
any more, you know...

our dads? How we can
find out more?

Oh, let's not
talk about it now.

It's your birthday.

Go and have some fun
with your pretty little lady.

That's what I'd do. Go on.

See you at the barbecue later!

Hi, Grace.

Where are you?

Dublin?

How long are you
gonna be out there?

You're not coming to the party?

Okay. Bye.

Was that Grace?

Don't ring her back, Mum.
She's not in the mood.

She's fine, she's just...
She's not coming tonight.

- Oh, where is she?
Did she say?
- Dublin.

- Alanna has a flat there.
- Alanna?

But I saw her this morning
and she never said anything.

I didn't think it was
possible to hate that woman

any more than I already did.

I know the feeling.

Oh, come on in.

You look like you're
coming down with it?

I dunno.

It's just--
it's just allergies.

Hi, Anna.

Is, er, Calum here?

No. He's at the beach.

I wanted to give him
his present so...

I'll make sure he gets it.

- Hey!

- Good timing.

Hi, guys.

Birthday boy!
Come here!

Happy birthday!

Hope you like this.

Oh, my God.
A camera!

That's amazing.
Thank you so much!

- Well, somebody's happy.
- How'd you know?!

Well, I just went with my gut.

Right. I need to be off.
I'll see you later, Elaine?

Eer, yeah, I'll be there.
Don't you worry.

Mum.

Can we talk?

Look, I'm in a bit of a hurry,
Anna. What is it?

I've been thinking of
renting a place in town.

- For now.
- What?

Why? That is insane.

You've a whole house
here to yourself.

- It's not exactly to myself.
- Listen.

I don't think you realise
just how much

renting costs, even here.

Put it out of your head, Anna.

Er, look, I've left
messages for Michael.

And if he calls the landline,

tell him I want to
see him. Okay? Bye.

Sorry, Val. Too late.

I've the lads prepping
another job already.

Tommy, I want to make sure

you're acting off
the best information.

You think someone was
pouring poison in me ear?

Were they?

Whatever way I heard it,
doesn't make it less true

does it, huh?

You can't go
spending money like that

- and leave wages unpaid.
- Hm.

Your Kira's having a baby,
isn't she?

Yeah, she's living with us
at the moment.

Herself and Pavel.

Idiot roofer
that knocked her up.

Why?

I was hoping you were going for
one of them Indecent Proposals.

Frank's okay with this?

Well, he'll have to be.
Won't he?

First thing in the morning.

Did you know?

Only after the ship had sailed.

None of us knew what
she was planning, Michael.

If we had of, we would have
talked her out of it.

- Michael, who told you?
- I don't know.

- Michael.
- I don't know!

I got this in the post.

Do you still have the envelope?

Did you tell Finn who the
father of Jenny's baby was?

Why would I do that?

Val. Back again.

You didn't mention
that Grace

was staying in
your flat in Dublin.

She didn't want anyone to know.

Who am I to interfere?

Tommy Hehir will be
back on site tomorrow.

We're giving him one of
the units at cost

to his daughter.

Fine.

And by the way, Alanna?

It was your decision
to delay Tommy's payment

that made him walk.

Now I want you to tell Finn

that there's no job
for him here anymore.

No, no. I won't do that.

Yes, you will, Frank.
A job makes it easier
for him to stay.

And that is
the last thing I want!

Well, too bad.

He's got a feel for it.
For the men.

He's his father's son
in that regard.

It's almost like he
taught him the ropes.

Well, he didn't.
They never met.

Really?
Well, it's just...

It's just what?

Well, according to Finn they
crossed paths

a few times over the years.

When Denis would be in England.

Finn says he couldn't
get enough

of hearing about life
in the Ahern house.

It's just the once or twice.

Well, it doesn't
change anything.

See, the truth is...

See, this is the only family
I have left.

What about your mother?

She died when I was seven.

And I was living
in foster homes.

- Val.

- Take this. Come on.

It's fine, you can drive on it.

What is it? What's wrong?

I think he knows.

Oh, God.

I think he knows.
I think Denis told him.

Finn told Frank and Alanna
they met each other.

That would explain a lot.

Yeah.

Shh. Hey.

Hi.

Look, I--I know you
wasn't expecting to see me

till later but...

thought you might
appreciate these.

Some doughnuts.

Oh. Erm..

Everything all right?

I got fired.

Why?

Well, you were there.

What do you think?

It was
a domestic scene at most.

Just nothing more than
a slap on the wrist.

Er, there was a previous...

misunderstanding.

Involving some guns.

Well, then.

You better get your job back.

Or another one.

You can't be unemployed
with a baby.

No.

I think the law
is different here in Ireland.

Hey, it's not funny, Jenny.

Having a child
you can't support is no joke.

Even with the best intentions.

It's the child who bears
the brunt of it all.

- Finn--
- No, listen!

It's fucking irresponsible

to have a child that
you can't support.

I'm going to need you
to leave, Finn.

Er. I'm sorry.

Let's go get
a coffee or something.

Leave now.

Goodbye, Finn.

Hey, Finn.

What is Michael doing here?

I asked him to come.

You did what?

You said it yourself.

You could be
in really big trouble.

So the sooner you
sort it out, the better.

Thanks for inviting me, Val.

I didn't invite you.

Frank, you're on steak duty.

All right,
just like the old days.

You know, we used to do this
nearly every weekend.

Girls used to be running
around like wild things.

It's a pity Grace isn't here.

I mean, she was
the wildest of the lot.

It was good times.

I'll take your word for it.

I think these times
aren't so shabby.

Don't you agree?

Thank you.

I'll go get the gas.

Am I the only one
that finds that disturbing?

They're happy,
that's what matters, isn't it?

Why do you all have
a problem with that?

What?

I'm sure you just feel
it's weird

that your uncle's with the
same woman your dad was with.

Cathy, Grace shouldn't
have told you that.

Well, Grace shouldn't have
done a lot of things.

Okay, well, I'm going to get
another drink.

You were never
going to tell me?

I didn't exactly
think this through, Michael.

I didn't plan anything.

Right? I just knew that
I wanted...

that I needed...

her.

Can you understand that?

Yeah, but she's not just yours.

She's a part of me as well.

You know what? I'm glad whoever
it was sent me that card.

Because if they didn't...

I might never have known.

Or found out, like, years later
when she's grown up.

And that--

That would not have been fair.

I could never forgive you
for that, Jenny.

Can you forgive me now?

You know, I've been thinking...

- Since I spoke to your mom.
- Michael, just please.

Just don't get any lawyers
involved, all right?

I'm already in
way over my head.

That's not...

That's not what I'm thinking.

Look, I wanted--

Like, we wanted this together.

Maybe we still can.

It doesn't prove anything.

Besides, he wouldn't have heard

about Jenny
until he was here, so...

So? So he rang
a mate in England

and got him to send
the card from there.

We all have mates
in England, Val.

Everyone here does.

What is it that
you're thinking exactly?

He's trying to
squeeze you for money?

Well, he's going about it
the wrong way.

First you threaten
and then you do stuff.

It makes no sense.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless he just wants to
hurt you all.

That's his end game.

But why would he
want to do that?

More likely,
it isn't him at all.

It isn't any one person.

Val, erm...

I don't know how well you have
your ear to the ground,

but this isn't the most
popular family in town.

Denis had a way with people,

a way of making them not notice
all the privilege, if you like.

But now he's gone.

You're saying I'm to blame?

Because I don't glad-hand?

Because I don't buy rounds
for people I don't know?

In pubs I don't visit?

Because I don't shaft people

when they're no
use for me anymore?

Because I don't
sleep with every--

Jesus Christ, Val!
Just leave me out of it.

I know I shouldn't even
have asked around about Finn.

But I did.
Because you asked me.

For Grace, for--for
everyone else, but that's it.

That's all I can do.

- Sorry.
- Well, yeah, I am sorry, too.

I am sorry that I ever
thought that your loyalty

extended beyond your
relationship with my daughter.

bb

Ah. Sorry.

Oh, don't worry.

- Got any word from Grace?
- No.

She'll turn up.
Just not tonight.

I'm sure Grace is fine.

As for your son?

I think he might be sick.
We need to go.

He seems okay, Cathy.

Joe?

Of course, yeah.

See ya, Anna.

Okay. Bye.

Cold beer?

No, I'm good, thanks.

This is all lovely.

Frank told me this used to be

- a regular thing
back in the day.
- Hmm.

Wish you coulda seen that.

I'll give you 20,000.

Who do I have to kill for that?

You just have to leave.

What, the party?

Do you want the money or not?

Can you write a cheque?

No problem.

Make it out to...
Jennifer Ahern.

Excuse me?

If you write
the cheque to Jenny,

I'll go back to England.

She could do with
the help, Val.

She's got a baby.

And she just lost her job.

Don't fuck with me,
I swear I'll--

Kick me out of the family?

It's too late for that.

I've always been on
the outside.

The outside looking in.

Right?

- Ingrid.
- Hi.

- You look gorgeous.
- Thank you. So do you, Elaine.

- Thank you.
- Calum's very pleased
with his camera.

Well, I don't want
to be the one to

stand in the way
of his talent.

Speaking of which,
some stuff on that course.

And you know, a good friend
of mine teaches there.

I think there's some photos
and stuff in that.

- I think you'd like it.
- Like what?

It's just some,
er, college stuff.

A course I think
Calum should consider.

And where is this course?

NCAD. Dublin.

I know where NCAD is.

The clue's in the D.

What?

The D stands for Design.

National College
of Art and Design.

Right.

But the great thing is,
I have a cousin

who lives just around
the corner from there

She's got a spare room.

Double bed.

Oh, that was the line,

just there and I crossed it.
Didn't I?

It's grand.

I better go.
Something I need to do.

Excuse me.

You know what I'd like to do?

Get pissed?

Blow some shit up.

Hope he likes it.

Anna made him a cake.

Well, we can bring both out.

Elaine, this isn't the way
to handle Anna.

She's already close
to breaking point.

If you think I can control her,
you're mistaken.

She's scared that you're going
to take the boys away from her.

Now, from where I'm standing?
I can see why she'd think that.

I suppose it can be a spare.

Thank you.

What was that?

God, that felt good.

Mind if I try?

Just, er, careful, Finn.
You have to, erm--

No, I'm good.

- Good shot!

Way to go, bro.

Nice one, sis.

So is Calum not that into guns?

- Hm?
- Or is he more
the creative type like Elaine?

Calum! You wanna try?

Come on.

- Elaine--
- No, no.

- How does it go?
- I'll show you.

You stand like this.

- See?
- No, no. What the hell
are you doing?

- You aim with care,
Calum. Hold it up.
- Calum, don't.

- Aim...
- What the hell are you doing?

Now, squeeze.

- Jesus!

Okay, okay,
let's leave it there.

- Anna. Come on.
- No, Jacob needs a try.

It's okay, Mum.

Come on, all the Aherns shoot.

No,
he's not an Ahern.

Of course, he is.
They both are.

No, they're not.
Rory wasn't.

- I'm not. So they're not.

Oh, all right. Erm...

You think that's a good look
in front of the boys, do you?

Yum. You must really miss this.

All right, come on.
Let's all just go inside.

- Okay?
- No. Not finished.

- Anna!
- Jesus!

Anna! Anna!

I think that's enough now,
don't you?

Yeah?

That's not my cake.

You okay, Elaine?

You know, it's not fair to
tease you about your drinking.

You know, alcoholics
tend to remember

exactly how long it's been

since their last drink.

And you said what?
"A couple of years".

Give or take.

Okay.

- It's Kiksegage!
Say that again.

No, stop.
It's chocolate biscuit cake.

My mum used to
make it for me as well.

Are you not gonna get
yourself a slice?

Oh! I wish I could.

I can't taste a thing
with this blocked shnozzle.

Ooh, Jenny.

Mm.

Biscuit cake?
Chocolate biscuit cake?

Sure.

I heard your
little chat with Mum.

We could have split the cash.

Is it you?

Behind all the stuff
that's been happening?

Did you send a card to Michael?

No.

Well, you would say that,
wouldn't you?

If it was you.

If you want to trust me, Jenny.

You're going to have to
take that leap.

A leap away from your mum.

My turn.

Denis and Alanna?

Were there others?

It's old news.

And you... and Michael?

Old news, too?

I think so.

Drop it.

I don't like Finn.

Why not?

You've always been someone
who thinks for himself.

But now he's making you
think what he wants.

He's not.

He believes that dad
didn't kill Denis.

That's the same as me.

Calum, I know you
need the truth.

But you--
but you ever just think

the truth is what
you've been told?

Just don't close your mind off
at the idea.

Oh, I've closed
my mind, am I?

- Calum, please don't--
- No, piss off, Ingrid!

Get lost!

- Are you serious?
- Go!

Hey!

Hey.

- Hey, Ingrid.

What's the matter?

Is it Calum?

Yeah, it's not all his fault.

Well, whose fault is it?

What is it?

Ingrid thinks Finn has been

filling Calum's head
with ideas.

What sort of ideas?

Like the idea his father
didn't kill Denis.

I was at a meeting earlier.

An AA meeting.

And he-- he just turned up.

What happened at the meeting?

He knows I was
blamed for the fire.

Jesus, Elaine!

What if he tells the boys?

I know! I didn't expect him
to show up like that!

By the time I realised it,
it was too late.

We need to sort this.

First things first.

The boys stay with you tonight.

I don't want that bastard
near them

for the rest of the evening.

Can you go now?

Yeah, but...
Anna won't let me.

No. Leave Anna to me.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

I'm fine--I'm fine.
I think I'm

ready to admit
it's a cold, I--

I'm fine.

He's asleep now. At last.

What are you having?

Been a while, hah?

Thank you.

Come on, sit down.

Joe? Can you put that down?

"Possession of a firearm...
previous bodily harm".

Shit.

Sorry. I--I need to print this.

Val, call me. I've heard back
from England. It's important.

Val?

You care about the Aherns

than you care about
your own family, Joe?

- Joe!
- Cathy, I can't.

Don't walk out
that door. Joe!

Joe!

Fuck's sake!

You're always
cleaning up after her.

It would be nice
not to have to.

She isn't their mother.

She is.

And so are you.

The sooner you accept that,
the better for everybody.

- She's isn't their mother.
- Listen.

Elaine's not the problem .

Not now.

I don't think you should let
Finn spend time with the boys.

Finn, Finn, Finn, Finn, Finn...

He is encouraging Calum
to believe Rory was innocent.

Rory was innocent.
It's the truth.

You think truth is
what the boys need?

Finn knows Elaine's
blamed for the fire.

Now, if he tells them that,

they will never believe
anything we tell them again.

Oh, come on.

Come on, come on.
Let's get you to bed.

You can have a lie in,
in the morning.

You'll have a bit of peace
and quiet for a change. Hm?

Elaine took the boys
for the night.

Hmm?

Why did you let her do that?

- Jesus Christ!
- Anna...

I want them back here
right now!

- Anna, please, Anna.
- Just give me your phone.

- Just give me your phone now!
- Okay, okay.

No...

Pick up.

Pick up, pick up,
pick up, pick up!

- Mum!

Calum, are you okay?

Are you okay?
All right.

All right. Your brother...

- Oh, no. Not Joe.
