let me go.
-I can't do that, Evelyn.

Look, I don't want to hurt you, okay?
I just need your help with the passcode for the bank transfer,
and then I will send Harry a text
and let her know exactly where you are.
I'm not dangerous.
-You're not dangerous?
You attacked me...
and you killed my George.
-Yeah, but that was necessary.
-Fergus, these coins are Gamblers Recovery chips.
You get these with every milestone.
Laura's been in and out of it for years
by the looks of things.
-So you're saying that she knew George?
-I imagine so, but her little plan,
it was inspired by a book she read --
Henry James' "The Golden Bowl."
It's about a man who falls in love with an impoverished woman,
but he marries a rich heiress,
then he and the first girlfriend,
conspire to swindle the heiress.
-Well, where could she have taken Evelyn?
Oh, hang on, there's one place
that Stuart is staying out of all week,
and chances are Laura would've known about it.
-Where's that?
-The school building he's renovating.
-Fergus, you bloody genius.

-George told me everything about you.
He was so eager to do well in Gamblers Recovery.
I think he thought you'd take him back.
But the whole time all I heard was Evelyn's so good,
she wins that competition every year.
-He trusted you.
-I needed him to.
I didn't have his willpower.
I'd started gambling again and...
I owed a lot more money than George.
I learned everything about you, your parents' breakup,
your abusive dad, how you hated Rob Rogers.
It was...
It was so easy to insert myself into your life.
-I tried to be a friend to you.
George tried to be a friend to you.
-He did,
until he realized I was gonna scam you.
He found out I was here and somehow put it all together.
That night I warned him to stay away,
but he insisted on going to you.
He wanted to be your knight in shining armor.
Gobshite.
-You really are an evil bitch.

Evelyn's fine.
Stuart's bringing her home after a check-up.
Sounds like a very happy man.
-Wow, poor Anna.
-Yeah, indeed.
I guess Stuart now has a shot at Evelyn's affections.
Speaking of young love, where's Lola?
I thought she was coming here with you, Charlie?
-She changed her mind, said she was studying.
-On her own or...?
-I dunno.
Oh, um, by the way, you don't need to worry
about Bridie Cullen anymore.
Your recording of her admitting to one of her boys
throwing that brick
was all we needed to give her a good scare.
-Harry's idea.
-Mm, a bloody good one.
-Yes, well, that's one money lender dealt with.

You're a Dublin man, aren't you?
With a Dublin mammy?

-Well, then you know full well when a Dublin mammy's not happy,
Happy.
And I'm not happy, Happy.
If you ever come near my children again
and threaten them
or bribe them or tell them that they owe you anything,
I will chop your bollocks off and put it into my famous
Dublin coddle, do you understand what I'm saying?
Just nod.
Right, let's go to that restaurant then.
We'll be having champagne, of course.
And do you know? I think I fancy lobster.
