00:00:29Chocolate or strawberry?
00:00:30Life's big decisions.
00:00:32Ooh, you are going places, kid.
00:00:35Oh, my apologies.
00:00:37That was close.
00:00:39Whoa!
00:00:41And there's the punchline.
00:00:45Sorry.
00:00:48Oh, Sandy, there you are.
00:00:50Any signs of Sarah?
00:00:52Guess she's a no-show.
00:00:53It's just I have that audition.
00:00:55Another toothpaste commercial?
00:00:56No, this one is a biggie.
00:00:58Bigger than a shift you committed to a month ago?
00:01:00Well, technically, my shift ended an hour ago.
00:01:03Flexibility, Fiona.
00:01:05It was in the job description.
00:01:06Yes, ma'am, of course.
00:01:08Which is why I worked at Double last Tuesday
00:01:10and then again on Thursday.
00:01:13Please, this is one of my favorite ballets of all time.
00:01:17It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
00:01:20Leave now, and that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
00:01:23will turn into a job search.
00:01:25Yeah, pipe rubbed you.
00:01:37Thanks, fellas.
00:01:40Hey, sweetie.
00:01:42And the universe strikes again.
00:01:43What happened now?
00:01:44Oh, you know, just another round of Fiona versus Lady Luck.
00:01:57Sandy won't let me leave for the Giselle audition.
00:01:59Well, that's unacceptable.
00:02:00She promised.
00:02:01Mom, she wears sandals with socks.
00:02:03She's hardly a cornerstone of good choices.
00:02:05You need me to flex some mom muscle on her?
00:02:07What are you gonna do, knit her into submission?
00:02:09I think I'm just gonna bolt.
00:02:11You know that I support this dream, but it's Giselle.
00:02:14Mom, Giselle.
00:02:16No, it's deja vu, Fee.
00:02:18So?
00:02:19So eventually the city's gonna run out of jobs.
00:02:22Well, you know how hard it is to find work
00:02:24that offers enough flexibility for auditions.
00:02:26Yeah, which is why you shouldn't quit.
00:02:30What's going on over there?
00:02:32The shop just got a new indoor waterfall this morning
00:02:35courtesy of the apartment above.
00:02:36Yikes.
00:02:37Everything okay?
00:02:38Well, I gotta close the shop for the next two weeks,
00:02:41so what do you think?
00:02:43Well, I think you could use a universe-sanctioned brake.
00:02:47Brakes are for ceramics.
00:02:49Get it?
00:02:50Because ceramics...
00:02:51Yeah, got it, Mom.
00:02:52Commedia gold.
00:02:53Just promise me you won't do anything you'll regret.
00:02:56The only thing I am gonna regret is not believing in myself.
00:03:00Pray for a miracle.
00:03:06Praying.
00:03:22Ladies.
00:03:23Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:03:25Okay, ladies.
00:03:27For the callbacks tomorrow, we would like to see...
00:03:30Martinez...
00:03:32And Abrams.
00:03:34Everyone else, thanks so much.
00:03:38Um, excuse me.
00:03:40I'm so sorry.
00:03:41Um, there's no chance that you forgot a name?
00:03:44Grant?
00:03:45Fiona?
00:03:46I'm afraid not.
00:03:47I thought I nailed that one.
00:03:49Technically, you did.
00:03:51But...
00:03:52the director is looking for...
00:03:55something different.
00:03:57I'm sorry.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:23You...
00:04:28isesti...
00:04:33Go on.
00:04:34Go on.
00:04:39Go on.
00:04:40Go on.
00:04:42Alright.
00:04:43Go on.
00:04:46Go on.
00:04:47All right.
00:05:28Mom?
00:05:29Oh, yeah, I'm in here.
00:05:31I got takeout.
00:05:33From where?
00:05:34Everywhere.
00:05:35That bad, huh?
00:05:36Oh, just my usual luck working.
00:05:39It's gloriously depressing magic.
00:05:41I'm sure you did great.
00:05:43Nope, wouldn't matter if I did.
00:05:44Apparently, they're looking for something different.
00:05:47Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:48I'm basically a meme for failure.
00:05:51Or a meme for resilience.
00:05:54I am single, unemployed, and living with my parents.
00:05:57It's only been a few months.
00:05:59Wow.
00:05:59Look at me go.
00:06:01You know what you need.
00:06:03A time machine.
00:06:04Wine.
00:06:06Well, that will work.
00:06:08For now.
00:06:08From your mother, MJ, Ireland.
00:06:21You found your birth mom?
00:06:32She found me.
00:06:33And you didn't tell me because?
00:06:35Because you were busy.
00:06:36Busy doing what?
00:06:38Graduating.
00:06:39Graduating?
00:06:40High school or college?
00:06:42High school.
00:06:43Mom!
00:06:43See?
00:06:44I knew that you would overreact.
00:06:46Well, of course I'm going to overreact.
00:06:48This is huge.
00:06:49Bigger than huge.
00:06:50This is life-altering.
00:06:51Yeah, and that's what terrifies me.
00:06:53I don't understand.
00:06:55I struck gold with your grandparents.
00:06:58And your dad.
00:07:00And you.
00:07:01I didn't want to risk ruining that.
00:07:03But it's your mom.
00:07:08Aren't you curious?
00:07:11All I know is what's in that letter.
00:07:14It isn't much.
00:07:16She's Irish.
00:07:18And wants to know me.
00:07:21Or did, at least.
00:07:25You never wrote her back.
00:07:27No.
00:07:28I mean, I tried many times.
00:07:31But days turn into weeks, turn into years.
00:07:35And then it just felt too late.
00:07:39I can't believe I'm part Irish.
00:07:42Actually, it explains your stubbornness.
00:07:46Don't even think about answering that.
00:07:48It's probably the plumbers.
00:07:50You are not wriggling out of this.
00:07:51There could be another leak.
00:07:52This is not over.
00:07:57Helen speaking.
00:07:59Yeah, there seems to be a lot of water
00:08:01coming through the ceiling.
00:08:08What?
00:08:09What's happening?
00:08:12What?
00:08:14Operation Mother Daughter Trip
00:08:15is officially a go.
00:08:16And our flight leaves very soon.
00:08:18My bad.
00:08:19I slept through my alarm.
00:08:21Flight?
00:08:21What flight?
00:08:23Oh, just a little hop across the pond.
00:08:25I booked us 10 days at a cottage
00:08:26in this tiny seaside village
00:08:27called Ballymore.
00:08:29We're going to Ireland, baby.
00:08:30Don't forget your toothbrush.
00:08:32Please tell me that you're joking.
00:08:33About the toothbrush?
00:08:34Fiona!
00:08:35Dad is at his conference
00:08:37and I am officially fun employed.
00:08:39The shop is out of commission,
00:08:40so it's perfect.
00:08:41We'll soak up culture,
00:08:42trace our lineage,
00:08:43and maybe, just maybe,
00:08:45knock on her biological mother's door.
00:08:47You're not gonna let me get out of this,
00:08:48are you?
00:08:49Remember when I had my first big dance audition,
00:08:51how terrified I was?
00:08:52And you tricked me
00:08:53into thinking it was a rehearsal.
00:08:55Do you remember
00:08:55why you said you did that?
00:08:57Sometimes a nudge
00:08:57is the only way to help us jump.
00:08:59Exactly.
00:09:00Now get dressed.
00:09:01Our ride is gonna be here any minute.
00:09:02Yeah, well, for the record,
00:09:03this feels more like a push than a nudge.
00:09:06What can I say?
00:09:07I inherited Dad's lack of subtlety.
00:09:08Chop, chop.
00:09:09Don't you just love flying?
00:09:25I swear I get the best sleep on planes.
00:09:27Oh, that must be nice.
00:09:28Meanwhile, I was stuck next to Mr. Garlic Breath
00:09:31with the kid behind me
00:09:32who thought my hair was a plaything.
00:09:34You know these things always happen to you.
00:09:35I must have walked under
00:09:37one too many ladders in a past life.
00:10:07Oh, wow.
00:10:18Well, if a fairy doesn't come
00:10:20to visit us tonight,
00:10:21I will be writing a complaint.
00:10:27Oh, how cute.
00:10:29I've been here two minutes
00:10:30and I'm already craving a scone.
00:10:31Is that weird?
00:10:33Oh, look at this funny little guy.
00:10:35What's wrong?
00:10:45One bed up there.
00:10:49Yeah, not gonna lie.
00:10:51I was kind of half asleep
00:10:52when I booked this, so...
00:10:53Fiona, it's fine.
00:10:55It's fine if we were at summer camp.
00:10:59I hear you.
00:11:00And I validate you.
00:11:01But our mission is clear.
00:11:03And what mission is that?
00:11:05Drink first, rant later.
00:11:06It's the Irish way.
00:11:07To the pub!
00:11:08Can we shower first?
00:11:10That's why you're the mom.
00:11:11Hmm.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:13Ugh.
00:11:14Wow, the colors of the buildings,
00:11:28the sea.
00:11:30Incredible.
00:11:31Makes New York feel like
00:11:32a different planet, doesn't it?
00:11:33Yeah, it certainly does.
00:11:35Good afternoon, ladies.
00:11:36May I tempt you with some blooms
00:11:38to brighten up your day?
00:11:39They're stunning.
00:11:40I picked them fresh this morning,
00:11:41so I can vouch for every petal.
00:11:44Um, we will take...
00:11:46the tulips?
00:11:47Yeah?
00:11:47The tulips, please.
00:11:48Excellent choice.
00:11:49I'm Daisy, by the way.
00:11:50You two on holidays?
00:11:51Yeah, we're in from New York.
00:11:53The Big Apple.
00:11:54It's a bit of a leap from here, isn't it?
00:11:55Yeah.
00:11:56Well, I hope you're enjoying Ireland.
00:11:57I'm obsessed.
00:11:59I came over for what was supposed
00:12:00to be a short stint,
00:12:01and then six years later,
00:12:02the business is thriving.
00:12:03I've got a cozy flat
00:12:04and brilliant friends.
00:12:07Life's funny like that.
00:12:08Life is funny.
00:12:10I suppose this place
00:12:11just gets in your bones, you know?
00:12:13The music, the people, the festivals.
00:12:16Speaking of festivals,
00:12:18there's a Cayley in a few days.
00:12:19Yeah, you won't want to miss it.
00:12:21The whole town comes out
00:12:22singing, dancing, the lot.
00:12:24Okay, well, we'll be there.
00:12:25Thanks for letting us know.
00:12:27Of course.
00:12:28Well, enjoy your night,
00:12:29and welcome to our little corner of Ireland.
00:12:33That's a crooked toss.
00:12:35Those days,
00:12:36they seem more hands
00:12:37than a blarney stone.
00:12:39Do you mind if I give it a try?
00:12:40Yeah, show us what you got.
00:12:46Did I win?
00:12:48Afraid not.
00:12:49You might want to work
00:12:49on that look of yours.
00:12:50A story of my life.
00:12:52Fortune follows the curious foot.
00:12:54You remember that now.
00:12:56I will.
00:13:03Hey, hey.
00:13:03And she says to me,
00:13:09do you use the same lines
00:13:11on all your catches?
00:13:12And I tell her,
00:13:13only on the pretty ones.
00:13:15And then I get a number
00:13:16and a barrel of fish.
00:13:17Ah, Nolan, you'll see, dog.
00:13:19Sounds like someone's been sniffing
00:13:21too much of the salt air.
00:13:22Ooh, says the lad with no lass.
00:13:24I don't let him fool you.
00:13:26He's hiding them all out the back
00:13:27with secret brews,
00:13:28aren't you, Liam?
00:13:29Oh, the elusive secret stash, huh?
00:13:32Owen here tells me
00:13:33they're fine with
00:13:34some of the things
00:13:35you have on tap.
00:13:35Yeah, that's because
00:13:36Owen here has hit his head
00:13:38one too many times
00:13:39on a wave.
00:13:40Helps get the sand
00:13:40out of my ears.
00:13:42Go on, give us a taste
00:13:43and we'll go easy
00:13:44with you on the darts.
00:13:45Last I heard,
00:13:46I was the darts king
00:13:47of this fine establishment.
00:13:48Then let's see you
00:13:49defend your throne,
00:13:50your majesty.
00:13:51The board awaits.
00:13:56Pool table, two o'clock.
00:13:57Ooh, still got it in you?
00:13:59Watch and learn.
00:14:04Ah, some things never change.
00:14:06Like your modesty.
00:14:08A lady never apologizes
00:14:10for being good.
00:14:11Well, step aside, Mom.
00:14:12It's time for the real pro
00:14:13to take a shot.
00:14:16Oh, hey!
00:14:18Apologies.
00:14:19I, um, lost my foot in there.
00:14:21Yeah, flat surfaces
00:14:22can be tricky.
00:14:23Yeah, keeps things interesting.
00:14:25Hmm, do they not teach
00:14:26personal space in Ireland?
00:14:28Fiona.
00:14:28Uh, we're a close-knit lot.
00:14:30Must be all the Kaylee dancing,
00:14:32I suppose.
00:14:32Ah, right, that's the one
00:14:33where you guys pretend
00:14:34to be river dancers, right?
00:14:35Only if we're feeling
00:14:36particularly spry.
00:14:37Let's keep the spryness
00:14:38to the dance floor
00:14:39next time, yeah?
00:14:40Oh, there's that Yankee charm
00:14:42always hidden beneath
00:14:43the thin skin.
00:14:44And here I thought
00:14:45the Irish were known
00:14:46for their warms.
00:14:47Only to those
00:14:47who can take a joke
00:14:48or a nudge.
00:14:50Well, maybe later
00:14:51I'll let you teach me
00:14:51how to pour a beer
00:14:52without it being half foam.
00:14:54Yeah?
00:14:54Only if you show me
00:14:55how to make a burger
00:14:56that doesn't require
00:14:57dislocating my jaw.
00:14:58Okay, okay.
00:14:59I'm sensing
00:14:59some transatlantic baggage.
00:15:01I got this, Mom.
00:15:02Of course you do.
00:15:03You wouldn't want
00:15:03someone else
00:15:04stealing the spotlight.
00:15:05Hmm.
00:15:06If I wanted the spotlight,
00:15:08I just would have done this.
00:15:13She didn't even warm up.
00:15:15Lucky shot.
00:15:16Oh, no, luck
00:15:17and I don't mingle.
00:15:18Is that right?
00:15:19Part of my factory setting.
00:15:21You know, they say
00:15:21that fortune favors
00:15:22the curious foot.
00:15:24You're the second person
00:15:25who said that to me today.
00:15:26It must mean
00:15:27you're meant to hear it.
00:15:28What does it mean?
00:15:29It's just a fancy way
00:15:31of saying that luck
00:15:31follows those
00:15:32who go looking for it.
00:15:34And I suppose
00:15:34you're the type
00:15:35who believes in fairies
00:15:36and pots of gold, too.
00:15:37Never doubt the mess
00:15:39of a man's motherland.
00:15:40Fair enough,
00:15:41but I can assure you
00:15:42that was all skill.
00:15:43Well,
00:15:43prove it.
00:16:05You were saying?
00:16:11Shall we?
00:16:13Gentlemen.
00:16:28Well,
00:16:29he was dashing.
00:16:30Oh, don't.
00:16:31Tall.
00:16:31Please stop.
00:16:33And broad.
00:16:33Mom,
00:16:34I'm just saying.
00:16:38Do you think
00:16:39what he said
00:16:39was true
00:16:40about luck?
00:16:42Well,
00:16:42I think
00:16:42if there's
00:16:43some luck
00:16:43floating around
00:16:45out there
00:16:45anywhere,
00:16:46it's here.
00:16:47There's no harm
00:16:47in looking for it.
00:16:53Can you, uh,
00:16:55go grab
00:16:55some more firewood?
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:56lucky penny.
00:17:20All right,
00:17:21Ireland.
00:17:22Let's see
00:17:23what you got.
00:17:23Oh, can you believe it?
00:17:33We're going to be galloping
00:17:34through the mythic valleys,
00:17:35along ancient ruins.
00:17:37It's like leaping
00:17:38into a fairy tale.
00:17:39Yeah?
00:17:40And in those fairy tales,
00:17:41does anyone ever mention
00:17:42getting kicked in the head
00:17:43by a horse named Cupcake?
00:17:44You'll be fine.
00:17:46I was practically
00:17:47a jockey at your age.
00:17:49What?
00:17:49There's two of you.
00:17:53Yes, the Grants?
00:17:54Ah, terribly sorry, ladies,
00:17:56but all my other horses
00:17:57are already out on rides.
00:17:59Bit of a booking mix-up,
00:18:00I suppose.
00:18:01Oh, shucks.
00:18:02Guess I'll just have to survive
00:18:04without risking life and limb
00:18:05on the back of an unpredictable
00:18:06giant beast today.
00:18:07We can maybe do it
00:18:08tomorrow instead.
00:18:09No, no.
00:18:09You go
00:18:10and gallop off
00:18:11into your fairy tale.
00:18:12Are you sure?
00:18:13Yes, absolutely.
00:18:15I will look into
00:18:16that luck thing.
00:18:17Maybe find a four-leaf clover.
00:18:19I'll meet you later.
00:18:20Okay.
00:18:22Whenever you're ready, love.
00:18:24Hello there.
00:18:25Hello there.
00:18:26Yes.
00:18:40Post office, here I come.
00:18:43Oh, you have lovely hair in the back.
00:18:54Looks beautiful.
00:18:56Lots for a look.
00:19:03For sale?
00:19:04Oh.
00:19:09Holy cow.
00:19:11It's you, isn't it?
00:19:12The dart dancer
00:19:13from last night?
00:19:15That was the classiest thing
00:19:16I've seen in ages.
00:19:19Classy, huh?
00:19:20Will you teach it to me?
00:19:22The turning bit,
00:19:23not the dart bit.
00:19:24I'm quick to learn.
00:19:25The last dance teacher I had
00:19:27used to say I was a prodigy.
00:19:29Then she moved to Vienna
00:19:30to breed ferrets.
00:19:31Wow.
00:19:32That is so niche.
00:19:34Annie.
00:19:35Come on.
00:19:36I've got to like it.
00:19:37But hey,
00:19:38will you be at the Cayley tomorrow?
00:19:39It'll be great crack.
00:19:40I think so.
00:19:42Brilliant.
00:19:42You can show me then.
00:19:43You're the best.
00:19:44Slalom.
00:19:45Slalom.
00:19:45Would you look at that?
00:20:10An Irish blessing
00:20:12straight from the heavens.
00:20:14Nature's own bridge.
00:20:16In our tales,
00:20:17a rainbow's more than beauty.
00:20:19It's a promise.
00:20:20A pathway
00:20:20to what's needed most.
00:20:22For some,
00:20:23it's a sign
00:20:24to bridge the gap
00:20:25between the past
00:20:25and the present.
00:20:26To connect with
00:20:27what's lost
00:20:28or left behind.
00:20:31Is it true
00:20:32what they say
00:20:32that the wind
00:20:33carries old voices?
00:20:35Very much.
00:20:37If you listen closely,
00:20:39they might just
00:20:39have a message for you.
00:20:53You're looking for Oona?
00:20:55Oh,
00:20:55uh,
00:20:56maybe.
00:20:58I'm trying to get
00:20:58some info
00:20:59about an old letter
00:21:00that was sent from here.
00:21:01Oh,
00:21:02I'm afraid
00:21:03she's off sick today.
00:21:05But,
00:21:05there is a chap
00:21:06who sometimes
00:21:07helps out
00:21:07when she's away.
00:21:08Oh, yeah?
00:21:09Do you know
00:21:10where I might be able
00:21:10to find him?
00:21:11Oh,
00:21:12well,
00:21:12he'd be down
00:21:12at the beach
00:21:13at this hour.
00:21:14Foraging for seaweed.
00:21:15He's mad about the stuff.
00:21:18Yeah,
00:21:18just follow the path
00:21:19straight on down
00:21:20and she can't miss the coast.
00:21:29Come on, you.
00:21:31Excuse me.
00:21:43You gotta be kidding me.
00:21:46Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:21:47Missed me, did ya?
00:21:49Like a toothache.
00:21:50And yet,
00:21:51here you are.
00:21:53Yeah,
00:21:53I thought I made
00:21:54an impression.
00:21:55I was told
00:21:56that you could help me
00:21:57with some detective work
00:21:58at the post office.
00:22:00Lose a package,
00:22:01did ya?
00:22:01A person,
00:22:02actually.
00:22:03And I'm hoping
00:22:04to find a phone number
00:22:05or address linked
00:22:06to a PO box number.
00:22:07Trying to track down
00:22:08an old flame,
00:22:09are we?
00:22:10Not quite,
00:22:11but it is important.
00:22:14Tell you what,
00:22:16help me finish up here
00:22:17and I'll see
00:22:18what I can do.
00:22:20Ah.
00:22:21Quicker for the both of us.
00:22:24Fine.
00:22:25Great.
00:22:38What is all of this for anyway?
00:22:40Some weird spa treatment?
00:22:42Local farmers swear
00:22:44that it's the best
00:22:44natural fertiliser.
00:22:46So,
00:22:47I try and fill up a basket
00:22:48and drop it up to them
00:22:49every few days.
00:22:50My way of giving back
00:22:51to the community,
00:22:52I guess.
00:22:53That is surprisingly thoughtful.
00:22:55Well,
00:22:55it's more my wife's thing,
00:22:57really.
00:22:58Oh,
00:22:59you're married?
00:23:00Was.
00:23:02She used to come down here
00:23:03every weekend
00:23:04and donated armfuls
00:23:05of the stuff.
00:23:07Yeah,
00:23:07after she passed,
00:23:08I guess I just
00:23:10kept the tradition going.
00:23:11I'm sorry.
00:23:13Thanks.
00:23:14Thanks.
00:23:16It's messy,
00:23:17but
00:23:17it's good for the soil
00:23:19and the soul.
00:23:21And it's a nice break
00:23:23from the noise of the pub.
00:23:24You're there a lot,
00:23:25huh?
00:23:25Yeah,
00:23:25it comes with the territory.
00:23:26Barfly?
00:23:27Owner.
00:23:28Ah.
00:23:29Do you always argue
00:23:31with your customers?
00:23:32Sure,
00:23:33that's the best part.
00:23:35That stunt you pulled
00:23:36last night
00:23:37was something else.
00:23:38Hmm,
00:23:38darts and I go way back.
00:23:39No,
00:23:40I meant the spinny bit.
00:23:42You dance professionally?
00:23:43On and off.
00:23:45Mostly off.
00:23:47I'm sorry to hear that.
00:23:48Yeah,
00:23:48I've had a few stints
00:23:50over the years,
00:23:51some understudy rules.
00:23:52Just enough
00:23:53to keep the dream alive,
00:23:54but not enough
00:23:55to keep my landlord happy.
00:23:56Yeah,
00:23:57well,
00:23:57you never know.
00:23:58The next gig
00:23:59may be the one.
00:24:00Yeah,
00:24:00I used to think that too.
00:24:02Then I turned 30
00:24:03and suddenly my feed
00:24:04was full of baby showers
00:24:05and mortgage approvals
00:24:06and there I was,
00:24:08standing in a sweaty
00:24:10audition room
00:24:10wearing a hot dog costume,
00:24:12convinced that if I just
00:24:13landed the part
00:24:14of Dancing Hot Dog Number 9,
00:24:15all my dreams
00:24:16were going to come true.
00:24:18Spoiler alert,
00:24:19they did not.
00:24:20Well,
00:24:21it sounds to me
00:24:22that Lady Luck
00:24:23is just waiting
00:24:24for the big one.
00:24:26Well,
00:24:27if there is
00:24:28a Lady Luck,
00:24:29she's got me
00:24:29on Do Not Disturb.
00:24:31Oh,
00:24:31that's right.
00:24:32That's your
00:24:32factory settings,
00:24:34isn't it?
00:24:34Exactly.
00:24:35That's what brings you
00:24:42to Ireland.
00:24:43My mom is hoping
00:24:44to find her birth mother.
00:24:46Well,
00:24:46sort of.
00:24:47I kind of pushed it.
00:24:49Oh,
00:24:49yeah.
00:24:50Yeah,
00:24:51ever since I was a kid
00:24:52she's been obsessed
00:24:53with these stories
00:24:54of long lost families
00:24:55reuniting
00:24:56and I never understood
00:24:58it until years later
00:24:59she told me
00:25:00she was adopted
00:25:01and everything clicked.
00:25:03I know she really
00:25:04wants this.
00:25:05She's just scared.
00:25:06So you got a bit
00:25:07Irish in you then?
00:25:08Maybe a sprinkle.
00:25:10Well,
00:25:10you can't be all
00:25:10bad luck then.
00:25:11Tell that to the
00:25:13three elevators
00:25:14that I've been trapped in.
00:25:15Get away.
00:25:16Three separate elevators?
00:25:18Oh,
00:25:18yeah.
00:25:19That's basically
00:25:19a habit.
00:25:21You know,
00:25:22I was thinking about
00:25:22what you said last night
00:25:24about looking for luck.
00:25:26Is there,
00:25:26like,
00:25:27a map?
00:25:27No map,
00:25:28I'm afraid.
00:25:29Figured.
00:25:30All islands
00:25:30ripe a ways
00:25:31to find it though.
00:25:32Oh,
00:25:32and let me guess,
00:25:33each and every one
00:25:34can be found
00:25:35for just a small
00:25:36tourist fee.
00:25:37Not all of them.
00:25:38Some magic's free.
00:25:39Oh,
00:25:40like,
00:25:42lucky pennies.
00:25:43Well,
00:25:44I knew there was
00:25:45something different
00:25:45about you.
00:25:46Well,
00:25:46I've found pennies
00:25:47before,
00:25:48so.
00:25:48Ah,
00:25:48but that's an Irish penny
00:25:50and those,
00:25:51they find you.
00:25:52You really believe
00:25:54in all this stuff,
00:25:54don't you?
00:25:55I can think of worse
00:25:56things to believe in.
00:25:57I wish I had
00:25:58your optimism.
00:25:58It's not optimism.
00:26:00It's faith.
00:26:00And more importantly,
00:26:02intention.
00:26:03You have to know
00:26:04what you want.
00:26:05Well,
00:26:05that part is easy.
00:26:07I want...
00:26:07Na, na, na, na, na, na.
00:26:09That's between you
00:26:10and the tree.
00:26:11What tree?
00:26:12It's called a wishing tree.
00:26:28Each ribbon represents
00:26:30a wish
00:26:30or a hope
00:26:31someone's casting
00:26:32into the future.
00:26:33Hmm.
00:26:33Kind of like
00:26:33sending a message
00:26:34in a bottle.
00:26:36A lot of folks believe
00:26:38that it's a way
00:26:39to let nature
00:26:40carry our wish forward.
00:26:43Well,
00:26:43that is beautiful.
00:26:45There's one problem,
00:26:46though.
00:26:46I do not have
00:26:47a ribbon.
00:26:49Well,
00:26:50you're in luck
00:26:51because I've got you covered.
00:26:53That was in your pocket?
00:26:56Go on.
00:26:58Okay,
00:26:58do I have to chant
00:27:00or do a little jig,
00:27:01perhaps,
00:27:02around the trunk?
00:27:02Absolutely do
00:27:03a jig
00:27:04around the trunk.
00:27:05Yes, please.
00:27:05I think that's
00:27:06a brilliant idea.
00:27:08Or you could just
00:27:09tie a ribbon
00:27:10and make a wish.
00:27:12A little privacy, please.
00:27:25I wish
00:27:26I had better luck.
00:27:32You broke
00:27:42the wishing tree.
00:27:45Let's go.
00:27:46Go, go, go.
00:27:52I told you
00:27:53I was cursed.
00:27:54You're not cursed.
00:27:58I single-handedly
00:27:59destroyed a magical
00:28:00wishing tree.
00:28:01Are you sure
00:28:01we got forests
00:28:02full of them?
00:28:03And for the record,
00:28:04it was an old branch
00:28:05that gave way,
00:28:06not you.
00:28:08Besides,
00:28:08the wish is just
00:28:09one step.
00:28:10The real work
00:28:10and the real luck
00:28:11come after the wish.
00:28:13It's about
00:28:13what you do next.
00:28:14In fact,
00:28:15I bet your luck
00:28:16is about to turn around
00:28:18about now.
00:28:22Or maybe a little later?
00:28:23Of course.
00:28:25Yeah,
00:28:26it says she closed
00:28:27down the account
00:28:28about six years ago.
00:28:29Is there any
00:28:30contact information?
00:28:31Phone number,
00:28:31address?
00:28:32Neither.
00:28:33But it does
00:28:35have her place
00:28:36of employment.
00:28:37How's that
00:28:38for luck?
00:28:39I will take it.
00:28:40You know,
00:28:53I can't believe you,
00:28:54a history foe,
00:28:56is excited to tour
00:28:57a manor.
00:28:59Hey,
00:28:59just because I prefer
00:29:00reality TV to a four-hour
00:29:02documentary about
00:29:03ancient tapestry weaving
00:29:04doesn't mean that I don't
00:29:05appreciate a good manor
00:29:06when I see one.
00:29:07plus I heard it's supposed
00:29:08to bring good luck.
00:29:09Really?
00:29:10Oh,
00:29:11yeah,
00:29:11totally.
00:29:12Something about,
00:29:12um,
00:29:13old stones bringing
00:29:14good fortune.
00:29:15It's a whole vibe.
00:29:17Yeah.
00:29:18Well,
00:29:19thank you for arranging
00:29:20this tour.
00:29:21Anything for you,
00:29:22Mom.
00:29:23My pleasure.
00:29:26What do you think
00:29:27the medieval Zillow
00:29:28estimate is
00:29:29in a place like this?
00:29:30Two villages
00:29:31and a magic bean.
00:29:32Plus HOA's
00:29:33for dragging a key.
00:29:34Don't forget
00:29:35the court wizard's retainer.
00:29:36But huntings are free.
00:29:37Oh,
00:29:38adds to the ambiance.
00:29:40Uh,
00:29:43what do you say
00:29:44we go on our own
00:29:45little private tour?
00:29:47Um,
00:29:47I'm pretty sure
00:29:48that's not allowed.
00:29:49Well,
00:29:49what are they gonna do?
00:29:50Behead us?
00:29:51Come on.
00:29:55Fiona.
00:29:58Fiona.
00:29:58Fiona.
00:30:00This is brutal.
00:30:10You'll crack it yet.
00:30:12You're the sharpest
00:30:13lass I know, Annie.
00:30:14You're my dad.
00:30:15You've got to say that.
00:30:17True,
00:30:18but luckily
00:30:18you're not making
00:30:19a liar out of me.
00:30:21History of Berlin,
00:30:22is it?
00:30:22Yeah.
00:30:23It's about as festive
00:30:24as the Berlin Wall.
00:30:25Yeah.
00:30:26You know,
00:30:26your mum almost moved
00:30:28to Germany
00:30:28after university.
00:30:29Yeah,
00:30:29she had a right
00:30:30fancy job lined up
00:30:31and everything.
00:30:32Why didn't she go?
00:30:33I begged her not to.
00:30:35Way to play it cool.
00:30:37Yeah,
00:30:38we've been seeing each other
00:30:39on and off
00:30:39for about a year.
00:30:41She didn't start
00:30:42for another month,
00:30:42so I asked her
00:30:43to stay a bit longer
00:30:44and see if things
00:30:45might change.
00:30:46Lucky for me,
00:30:47she did.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:49Lucky for the both of us.
00:30:50Where are we going?
00:31:05Fiona?
00:31:06This way.
00:31:08Ooh,
00:31:08let me look in here.
00:31:11Oh, wow.
00:31:12It's like stepping
00:31:13into a painting.
00:31:14Very cool.
00:31:15What is going on?
00:31:18It's like you're
00:31:18in some sort of hunt.
00:31:19What?
00:31:19No,
00:31:20I'm just soaking up
00:31:21the ambiance.
00:31:22Yeah,
00:31:22at a very quick speed.
00:31:23Well,
00:31:23you know what they say,
00:31:24the faster you soak,
00:31:25the more you absorb,
00:31:25right?
00:31:26Let's go.
00:31:28Fiona.
00:31:28Fiona.
00:31:28This would be my
00:31:32favorite room.
00:31:34It's full of history,
00:31:35which I will explain
00:31:36to you now.
00:31:38If you all get together
00:31:39now,
00:31:40that's it,
00:31:41lovely.
00:31:42If you look at the
00:31:43mirrors behind you.
00:31:46I'm really glad you came.
00:31:48I do hope you enjoy
00:31:49yourself.
00:31:50You see the wonderful
00:31:51paintings back here
00:31:52and they're absolutely
00:31:54gorgeous.
00:31:55And they are mainly
00:31:56the family.
00:31:57You know,
00:31:57so you remember
00:32:00that whole gentle
00:32:01nudge thing?
00:32:03What'd you do now?
00:32:05Just some harmless
00:32:06digging.
00:32:08And?
00:32:09And I found her.
00:32:12I found your birth mom.
00:32:15And she has spent
00:32:15the last eight years
00:32:16working as a tour guide
00:32:18at a historic manor.
00:32:22This historic manor.
00:32:24Mom?
00:32:35Mom?
00:32:50Hey.
00:32:51I'm sorry if that was
00:32:54too much.
00:32:55I was just trying.
00:32:56No, I know.
00:32:57I know.
00:33:03She's beautiful,
00:33:04isn't she?
00:33:05Pretty fabulous.
00:33:07How did it feel?
00:33:09It was overwhelming.
00:33:11Surreal.
00:33:13It's like I've known
00:33:14her face my whole life.
00:33:15I guess she's pretty
00:33:18into history,
00:33:19just like you.
00:33:20You think?
00:33:21Mm-hmm.
00:33:22Two peas in a pod.
00:33:24How'd you find her?
00:33:26I had a little bit
00:33:29of help from a local.
00:33:31A local, huh?
00:33:34Mm-hmm.
00:33:36Do tell.
00:33:37So there I was,
00:34:02knee-deep in a bog,
00:34:03trying to fish out
00:34:04my very expensive shoes.
00:34:05Well, this former
00:34:06London girl now has
00:34:07absolutely hideous
00:34:08but proper footwear.
00:34:09I do not think
00:34:10I pack correctly.
00:34:11Eventually,
00:34:12you'll get the hang of it.
00:34:13Mm-hmm.
00:34:18Hey, girls.
00:34:19Hi.
00:34:20Fee, guess who signed us up
00:34:21for the potato peeling contest?
00:34:22You're joking.
00:34:23Nope.
00:34:24Bring on the gold, love.
00:34:31Look.
00:34:33Look.
00:34:34In my paper.
00:34:34Like, they're just so beautiful.
00:34:36Well, I could give it to you.
00:34:37Just go and talk to her, fella.
00:34:41I can.
00:34:41Sure you can.
00:34:42What if she thinks I'm dense?
00:34:45Janine thought I was dense.
00:34:46Well, then at least
00:34:47you'll know she's perceptive.
00:34:48Good point.
00:34:51Ha-ha.
00:34:55All right.
00:35:00Grab your spuds and peelers.
00:35:03And on my mark,
00:35:05go.
00:35:07You know,
00:35:08that's the second time
00:35:09he's looked at you.
00:35:10So?
00:35:11So you should go talk to him.
00:35:13And say what exactly?
00:35:15Um, thank him
00:35:16for helping you.
00:35:18I know what you're doing.
00:35:20Mm-hmm.
00:35:21The contrast between the two colours,
00:35:23you know what I mean?
00:35:27Try starting with
00:35:28hello, Daisy.
00:35:30Hello.
00:35:32That's good.
00:35:33Smart.
00:35:34Then what?
00:35:35I don't know.
00:35:36Maybe mention something
00:35:37about liking flowers.
00:35:40It's a bit on the nose.
00:35:41You know,
00:35:44your father and I
00:35:45met on a foreign adventure.
00:35:46You two met
00:35:47at a taco stand
00:35:48in Albuquerque.
00:35:49Yeah, but to two New Yorkers,
00:35:51it was practically
00:35:52a new continent.
00:35:54And we have a winner!
00:36:01All I'm saying
00:36:02is that a little romance
00:36:03could be good for you.
00:36:04This is supposed to be
00:36:05a mother-daughter trip.
00:36:06Times two.
00:36:07I see you every day.
00:36:09And?
00:36:11As your mother,
00:36:12I'm ordering you
00:36:13to go dance
00:36:14with a handsome local.
00:36:15Oh, you're ordering me,
00:36:17are you?
00:36:17Well, consider it
00:36:18another loving shove.
00:36:20Okay.
00:36:21Well, I will do that
00:36:22if you promise
00:36:23that tomorrow
00:36:23you will go back
00:36:24to that manor
00:36:25and this time
00:36:25don't run away
00:36:26from what's waiting
00:36:27for you in there.
00:36:28You shove, I shove.
00:36:29Deal.
00:36:38Hello.
00:36:39Aaron?
00:36:40Are you all right?
00:36:43Flowers, daisies,
00:36:45your daisy.
00:36:48Hello.

00:37:14Ready?
00:37:14We're in.
00:37:15Come single bell and roll
00:37:16Untuned to your attention
00:37:18Don't ever fall in love
00:37:20Never want to mention
00:37:22What's I fell in love
00:37:24With a maiden salty witch
00:37:26And it was Henrietta Bell
00:37:28Out of Captain Kelly's kitchen
00:37:30With me to blue-a-law
00:37:32Me to blue-a-laddy
00:37:34With me to blue-a-law
00:37:36To blue-a-laddy
00:37:37At the age of 17
00:37:39I was brenticed to a grocer
00:37:41Black bar from Stephen's green
00:37:43Where as ever used to close her
00:37:45Matters were sublime
00:37:47She set my heart afliction
00:37:49And she invited me to
00:37:51Only in the kitchen
00:37:53With me to blue-a-law
00:37:55Me to blue-a-laddy
00:37:57With me to blue-a-law
00:37:59To blue-a-laddy
00:38:00You came
00:38:06I did
00:38:07Everyone's so excited
00:38:09Everyone?
00:38:09Yeah
00:38:10Oh
00:38:10Ladies and gents
00:38:24The band will take a break now
00:38:26Okay
00:38:28Chins up ladies
00:38:30Tall spines
00:38:32Feet in first position
00:38:33Arms in first
00:38:36Okay
00:38:36You are holding these bottles
00:38:37To remind you to engage your arms
00:38:39So lift up your elbows
00:38:41And we are going to pretend
00:38:42That the bottles
00:38:43Are the riskiest texts
00:38:44That you've ever sent
00:38:45And if you drop them
00:38:46Then every kid in your school
00:38:48Is going to get an alert
00:38:49Life-altering stakes
00:38:51Got it
00:38:51Okay
00:38:53Let's plie
00:38:55Lengthen up
00:38:57Releve
00:38:58Roll through those feet
00:38:59Back down
00:39:00Plie

00:39:02Remember those arms
00:39:04Oh
00:39:04Better
00:39:05Better
00:39:06Okay
00:39:06Let's do it again
00:39:07Minus the condiments
00:39:09Great job ladies
00:39:11Look at you being all professional
00:39:14Hey dad
00:39:16Dad
00:39:18That's my name
00:39:19That's my name
00:39:19Look
00:39:21I need to go over to the pub
00:39:22And get another keg
00:39:23There's only bottles left
00:39:24You alright here?
00:39:25Yeah
00:39:25Maybe you should go help the man
00:39:27You know
00:39:28I think he's more than capable
00:39:29I could use the company though
00:39:31I could use the company though
00:39:31We're settled then
00:39:33Shall we?
00:39:35Yeah
00:39:36I like your style
00:39:44Oh let me help you with that
00:39:53On three
00:39:54I thought you were holding the door
00:39:56Uh oh
00:40:00What do you mean uh oh?
00:40:02Yeah
00:40:02I'm pretty sure
00:40:03That door only opens from the outside
00:40:05Like pretty sure
00:40:06Or sure sure
00:40:07Oh now I'm leaning more towards
00:40:09Sure sure
00:40:10Hello
00:40:19Anybody
00:40:20Help us
00:40:22Please
00:40:22Please somebody
00:40:24We're stuck in here
00:40:25There's no one out there
00:40:27This is bad
00:40:28This is very bad
00:40:29It's really not
00:40:30I'm slightly claustrophobic
00:40:32Really?
00:40:32Yes really
00:40:33Alright well then
00:40:34Just breathe
00:40:34Just breathe
00:40:35Help is on the way
00:40:36But it could be hours before somebody finds us
00:40:38Days even
00:40:39Nolan said he'd be here in five minutes
00:40:41Oh
00:40:42Okay normally there's no service when I get stuck in elevators
00:40:46Oh I forgot getting trapped was kind of like a hobby for you
00:40:49What is this?
00:40:52Oh uh don't worry about that
00:40:54Moby's white ale?
00:40:58Yeah cause ale rhymes with whale
00:41:01Clever
00:41:01Yeah
00:41:02Crisp light and gives a bit of a chase
00:41:04Just like the story
00:41:06Yeah
00:41:06Did you brew these?
00:41:09Only the ones with the bad puns
00:41:11Pride and porter
00:41:14Rich, dark, little bitter but finishes sweet
00:41:18Like Darcy's character arc
00:41:19Exactly
00:41:20I am sensing a pattern here
00:41:22Yeah I like to call it literature liquefied
00:41:24Every flavour has a story so it's just a fun way to celebrate things I love and it helps pass the time
00:41:31Well it's kind of genius
00:41:32Yeah it's kinda silly
00:41:34What's your favourite book?
00:41:37Guess
00:41:38Alright strong free spirit vibes for sure
00:41:42Artsy but more avant-garde slash bohemian
00:41:45On the road Jack Kerouac
00:41:47Okay
00:41:49The unbearable lightness of being
00:41:52To kill a mockingbird
00:41:55Okay
00:41:56Deep sense of morality
00:41:58Themes of innocence and growth
00:42:01It's classic
00:42:01Let me see
00:42:02Taste would be
00:42:04The bitterness of injustice
00:42:06Mellowed by the sweetness of childhood
00:42:09And name
00:42:10Scout's honour
00:42:13Scout's honour
00:42:15Not bad
00:42:16Yeah it's just a bit of fun
00:42:18I don't remember seeing any of these on your menu
00:42:21Yeah no I don't think anyone would want them
00:42:25They're a bit personal
00:42:27And a little too odd for the regulars
00:42:29Connecting flavours and feelings
00:42:31What's odd about that?
00:42:41Someone call for a hero huh?
00:42:43Stop smiling
00:42:44Did you mean we said earlier about this island being ripe with ways to find luck?
00:42:50You kidding?
00:42:50There's tons
00:42:51Would you mind showing me some?
00:42:54Oh sure he'd love to
00:42:56I don't think that's a good idea
00:42:58What?
00:42:59I've got a pub to run
00:43:00Yeah and a great staff to help you to do it
00:43:02Look
00:43:02I'm sorry
00:43:04No no it's fine
00:43:05No need to be sorry
00:43:06I'll see you back at the party
00:43:08Are you daft Liam?
00:43:13Don't start
00:43:14The girl was practically asking you out
00:43:18No she wasn't
00:43:19She was asking me to be her own personal leprechaun
00:43:22Yeah
00:43:22And what's so terrible about that huh?
00:43:24Look
00:43:25It's
00:43:25It's not the right time
00:43:27It's been four years Liam
00:43:29You're allowed to do stuff for yourself now and then
00:43:32You do know that don't you?
00:43:33I haven't got the time Nolan
00:43:35I'm busy
00:43:36Oh please
00:43:37That's a load of rubbish and you know it
00:43:40How's about tomorrow at nine?
00:43:53I would love to
00:43:54Ride bicycles along the wild Atlantic way
00:44:05Plant a hazel tree
00:44:07Cook an Irish stew
00:44:08Play the tin whistle
00:44:10Supposed to bring a merry heart and lucky steps
00:44:14Uh what does drown a shamrock mean?
00:44:17It's not as grim as it sounds
00:44:19Just drop a clover into the top of your pint for a spot of luck
00:44:22And then chuck it over your shoulder when you're done
00:44:23I'm glad I can get behind you
00:44:25Of course
00:44:25This side
00:44:32I'll get back to you
00:44:58Right. See that fellow over there?
00:45:14Yeah.
00:45:15I want you to throw this onto his boat.
00:45:18You're joking.
00:45:19It's an old sailor's charm for good luck,
00:45:21but you have to get it on the boat while he's on it for it to work.
00:45:25And this is going to help me how?
00:45:26Well, old lore says if you give a bit of luck,
00:45:28you get a lot back, all right?
00:45:30Trust me. It'll come round.
00:45:35I hope you've got good aim.
00:45:37Have you already forgotten my dart performance?
00:45:39I have great aim.
00:45:40Good.
00:45:41Because you're about to miss your shot.
00:45:42Watch and marvel.
00:45:48Watch and marvel, eh?
00:45:49What is this? This is not sucking.
00:45:50This is a disaster.
00:45:54What? On the boat, not at it.
00:45:57I got this one.
00:45:58Yeah, I wish you would.
00:45:59Now, come on. You've got this.
00:46:01Okay.
00:46:05Hey, you!
00:46:06Uh-oh.
00:46:09Run.
00:46:09Run.
00:46:09Hello.
00:46:21Oh, hi.
00:46:30Um, you wouldn't happen to know a woman named MJ, would you? She's a tour guide here.
00:46:42Sure. Everyone knows MJ. She's the best.
00:46:47Oh, um, you wouldn't happen to know where she is?
00:46:50Oh, she doesn't work as a tour guide on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
00:46:55Oh, I see.
00:46:56But I do know where we can find her.
00:47:00Oh.
00:47:02Each leaf represents something different.
00:47:05Hope, faith, love, and, of course, luck.
00:47:08But you need to find one with all four, and they're very rare.
00:47:12How rare are we talking?
00:47:14About one in ten thousand.
00:47:15And I thought finding a parking spot in New York City was hard.
00:47:19Don't be giving up just yet.
00:47:23You know, I was thinking about your special brews.
00:47:27Where are you now?
00:47:28Mm-hmm.
00:47:28I think you should sell them.
00:47:31I bet people would love them.
00:47:33That's not really why I brew them.
00:47:34Yeah, I get that.
00:47:37Boss?
00:47:38I didn't say but.
00:47:39Yeah, but you're choking one down.
00:47:40I can see it clear as day.
00:47:42Come on.
00:47:43Out with it.
00:47:44Okay.
00:47:45I used to have this dance teacher, Miss Wilder, and she was always so happy, always laughing.
00:47:50Even as a kid, I remember being just mesmerized by her spirit.
00:47:54And before every dance recital, just as the nerves were about to take over,
00:47:58she would say it as sharing something that you love is like sprinkling beauty across the words.
00:48:04Yeah, but it's just beer.
00:48:05It's not high art.
00:48:07Well, art or not, it brings you joy, and that means something.
00:48:11Unless, of course, you're just scared.
00:48:17You up for a detour?
00:48:18I want to show you something special.
00:48:21Sure.
00:48:28Oh, my.
00:48:31This is actually my home.
00:48:33Wait, what?
00:48:34Really?
00:48:35I didn't think New Yorkers were that gullible.
00:48:38Come on.
00:48:45You think we're allowed to be in here?
00:48:47Well, I imagine the door would be locked if we weren't.
00:48:50Fancy a look from the top?
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:53Okay.
00:49:23hello there oh hi i'm so sorry um i was out front taking it all in and the door was open so well
00:49:49i i walked in which is probably not allowed so i i should probably just go nonsense nonsense you're
00:49:56here now you might as well get something out of it besides i've always been a wandering soul myself
00:50:02mj is the name uh heather heather it's a pleasure heather these uh costumes they look like they're
00:50:12from a different century and that they should be you know it's the history that weaves the
00:50:19real magic into the fabric did you make them yourself oh no dear but i mind their spirit
00:50:27i um i restore antiques myself back home in america i have a little shop so we're kindred spirits
00:50:36come on let me show you how i play with time
00:50:39there's an old tale related to this place no but expect nothing less
00:51:05it's about a captain named seamus o'reilly now he lived for the sea spent his whole life chasing
00:51:12legends of lost gold and never stayed ashore any longer than he needed just resupply
00:51:19but one night after a brutal storm his ship was wrecked washed up right here on these very rocks
00:51:26barely alive the keeper saved him helped him heal and as seamus recovered this lighthouse eased the storm
00:51:36inside him and before he knew it he found something unexpected a newfound appreciation for life
00:51:44best it's true calling when the keeper of the time passed away seamus took over he'd spent his whole
00:51:53life thinking that he needed the sea's open horizon
00:51:57but what really made him happy was guiding others to find theirs
00:52:03i always related to that story
00:52:07how so
00:52:09well before i opened the pub i was all geared up for life in engineering
00:52:13yeah it was the only dream i'd ever had i spent more than half my life i thought it was my
00:52:20forever horizon and then one day it wasn't what changed somewhere along the way building something
00:52:30new well just felt more right
00:52:33did you ever miss the old horizon
00:52:37in my experience finding what truly fits is a lot more rewarding than chasing a dimming glitter
00:52:47how do you find what fits
00:52:53you don't it finds you
00:52:57you
00:53:01you
00:53:07you
00:53:09you
00:53:11you
00:53:13you
00:53:15you
00:53:21you
00:53:22you could practically feel the history through the fabric
00:53:24mm-hmm
00:53:25isn't it remarkable how a single piece of clothing can transport you in time
00:53:31it is so nice to meet someone who gets it
00:53:34yeah
00:53:35i don't just get it dear
00:53:37sometimes i wear it
00:53:39when no one's looking of course
00:53:42once upon a time i wanted to be on stage
00:53:46really
00:53:47yeah
00:53:48but then i found my magic behind the scenes
00:53:51so meryl streep's legacy is safe from me yet
00:53:56oh i'm so sorry
00:53:58don't be
00:53:59i mean minding these costumes
00:54:02well
00:54:03keeps my inner artist alive
00:54:05mm-hmm
00:54:06and it spares me from the stage fright
00:54:09so tell me
00:54:11so tell me
00:54:12how long have you been rescuing antiques
00:54:16oh goodness
00:54:17for as long as i can remember
00:54:19you know i've always had this instinct i guess
00:54:23to collect the things that the world's given up on
00:54:26clocks
00:54:28furniture
00:54:29i used to believe that if i could fix them up
00:54:33make them better
00:54:34then they could find a new home
00:54:36a second chance
00:54:38i do understand
00:54:40a friend of the estate donated a lovely old planting table
00:54:45that i've been meaning to spruce up for some time
00:54:48but
00:54:49but if i'm honest
00:54:50i think i beat off more than i could chew
00:54:52well i could take a look at it
00:54:54uh
00:54:55i mean if you'd like
00:54:57well yes
00:54:58okay
00:55:12it's like a canvas with no end
00:55:14yeah
00:55:15there's only a handful of places where you can see the cosmos this clearly
00:55:19mm-hmm
00:55:21growing up
00:55:23whenever i felt alone or
00:55:25whenever i had a rough day i used to come up here and chat to the stars
00:55:30for a while they felt like the only mates i had
00:55:32mm-hmm
00:55:33did those mates ever chat back?
00:55:35in their own way
00:55:37i used to think that each star was a message for someone
00:55:42someone
00:55:43somewhere trying to reach out like postcards across the sky
00:55:48mm-hmm
00:55:49kind of like your bruise
00:55:51little messages just waiting for somebody to find them
00:55:55you're really not gonna drop this are you?
00:55:58i get it
00:56:00you know the first time i went on stage i was terrified
00:56:04exposing something you love is scary
00:56:08but what if there is somebody out there just waiting to find your message
00:56:13and perhaps that message is in
00:56:17don't say it
00:56:18a bottle
00:56:20it's so corny
00:56:23okay pop quiz

00:58:30No way.
00:58:53Dance studio?
00:59:00What do you mean you didn't tell her?
00:59:21Well, I wanted to, but then I panicked.
00:59:24Clearly.
00:59:25Well, once I was looking in her eyes, I just...
00:59:29I just wanted to know her for who she is, you know?
00:59:32Not as my mom or whoever she felt she needed to be right then.
00:59:36Wait till you meet her.
00:59:38She's brilliant and witty and full of charm.
00:59:42Everything I'd hoped for.
00:59:44And when I talked to your dad, he sends his love.
00:59:47I told him that I met MJ and he was supportive as always.
00:59:51I'll tell her soon.
00:59:56Good.
00:59:57What's happening today?
00:59:59Oh, she needs some tips on restoring an old gardening table.
01:00:04Okay.
01:00:05Look at you besties already working on projects together.
01:00:08Well, I mean, I don't have to go if we have plans.
01:00:10No, absolutely not.
01:00:11You are going.
01:00:12And anyway, Liam is helping me complete my good luck list this weekend.
01:00:16And like you said, you and I get to spend every day together and you should cherish every minute that you have with MJ.
01:00:22Another date with Liam, huh, Mom?
01:00:25My mother says I have Irish eyes, Irish eyes.
01:00:30Thank you for nudging me.
01:00:31My mother says I have Irish eyes, my mother says I have Irish eyes, my mother says I have Irish eyes.
01:00:34To unexpected adventures?
01:00:35May they continue.
01:00:36May they continue.
01:00:37Amen.
01:00:38I'm a map of the world and the ones before.
01:00:43One foot in sea and one on shore.
01:00:46Every step of every hopeful on high.
01:00:51I'm a map of the mole with my Irish eyes.
01:00:56Mine and I said I have traveling feet, traveling feet, traveling feet.
01:01:02Slippers for princesses don't fit me.
01:01:05But I dance to my own drum, bright and bold.
01:01:08And my traveling feet always get me home.
01:01:12My sister says I'm a restless soul, restless soul, restless soul.
01:01:18Easy to catch but I'm hard to hold.
01:01:21Like a song on the wind that you caught one day.
01:01:24I get under your skin then I step away.
01:01:28I'm a map of the world and the ones before.
01:01:31One foot in sea and one on shore.
01:01:34Every step, every hopeful on high.
01:01:39I'm a map of the mole with my Irish eyes.
01:01:54My mother says I have Irish eyes.
01:01:57Irish eyes, Irish eyes.
01:02:00My mother says I have Irish eyes.
01:02:03I can't remember the last time I breathed air this fresh back home.
01:02:27This is where you could bottle it and slap a 100% organic free-range Irish breeze label on it and make a killing.
01:02:34I can't believe you get to experience this every day.
01:02:37Not every day.
01:02:39Meanwhile, the rest of the world is living in a box apartment staring at a deluxe view of the back of another box apartment.
01:02:48Does it ever get old?
01:02:50Old?
01:02:51No.
01:02:52Blurry?
01:02:53More often than it should.
01:02:54Yeah.
01:02:55Life has a funny way of taking even the best views and feeding them into the background sometimes.
01:03:01Hmm.
01:03:02After Lillian, a fog settled on us.
01:03:07She was always the one who believed in us.
01:03:09In me.
01:03:10Always pushing me to go for more, to try new things.
01:03:13And without that, it's hard to see things clearly.
01:03:18That's why I took the books.
01:03:20I mean, I'd always been a reader, but diving into other people's stories became my fondest escape.
01:03:33For a long while there, it felt like there was always something keeping my head down.
01:03:39Pouring, brewing, reading, praying.
01:03:44But these last few days, it's the first time I've looked up in ages.
01:03:50Thank you for that.
01:03:52I should be the one thanking you.
01:04:03Owen!
01:04:04Sorry about that.
01:04:05Didn't mean to break the moment.
01:04:06What are you doing way out here?
01:04:08Come on, man.
01:04:09You're not the only one with a good taste in views.
01:04:12The best views for the prettiest girls.
01:04:27Not too shabby, eh?
01:04:28Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
01:04:29Oh, wow.
01:04:30How about a nice cup of tea, and then we can tackle that sticky drawer.
01:04:36That sounds like a player.
01:04:38Yeah.
01:04:39Well, he's a bit of a mess, but in a proper charming way.
01:04:56Like a puppy chasing his tail.
01:04:58We'll see how he goes.
01:04:59Well, I'm happy for you.
01:05:01What about you and Liam?
01:05:02Looking quite cosy?
01:05:03He's just helping me shake off some bad luck.
01:05:06Just that, is it?
01:05:07Just that.
01:05:08Mm-hmm.
01:05:09So when do you head back?
01:05:11Uh, about that.
01:05:13What?
01:05:14Tell me.
01:05:15It's barely a flicker of an idea.
01:05:18Just go on, spill.
01:05:19There's this dance studio in town, and it's up for auction tomorrow.
01:05:23I can't stop thinking about it.
01:05:25Wait, the old Hanson place?
01:05:26Yeah.
01:05:27Yes, yes, you must go for it.
01:05:28Oh, we'll be business besties.
01:05:30Honestly, I don't know how I'd be able to afford it.
01:05:32We'll get you sorted.
01:05:33As a business owner myself, I will make sure that this happens for you.
01:05:36That's really sweet of you.
01:05:38Just to have someone in this town who understands the value of a well-placed Taylor Swift reference,
01:05:43it will be worth it.
01:05:45Does he know?
01:05:49There's nothing to know.
01:05:51Not yet, anyways.
01:05:53No.
01:05:54No.
01:05:55Yeah, it does.
01:05:56No.
01:05:57No.
01:05:58No.
01:05:59No.
01:06:00No.
01:06:01No.
01:06:02No.

01:07:58a shift in luck is just a shift in perspective

01:09:07Fiona, it's Julie Donovan, casting director of Giselle.
01:09:10Give me a call when you get this.
01:09:12It's important.
01:09:24Thank you so much.
01:09:25This is a dream come true, really.
01:09:28I'll see you then.
01:09:30Who is that?
01:09:32The casting director from Giselle.
01:09:34They re-watched the audition tapes and the director and choreographer want to see me again.
01:09:38And apparently it's down to me and one other dancer.
01:09:41For which part?
01:09:42Giselle!
01:09:43No!
01:09:44Oh, wait, wait.
01:09:46Did you tell her?
01:09:47I told her.
01:09:48Oh, how'd it go?
01:09:49It was amazing.
01:09:50We talked for hours.
01:09:54And she wants to take us to a show tomorrow night to meet her granddaughter.
01:09:58I have to get back to New York ASAP.
01:10:00They're putting me on a flight tomorrow.
01:10:02But you should stay.
01:10:03Finish the trip.
01:10:04You think?
01:10:05Absolutely.
01:10:05You've got a mom to hang out with.
01:10:07Those are moments you're never going to forget.
01:10:10It looks like that good luck magic is working after all.
01:10:13I guess so.
01:10:15I don't know.
01:10:17Yay!
01:10:43Oh, yeah, that's Al. She starts in an hour.
01:10:55Okay, thanks.
01:11:13Hey.
01:11:23Hey.
01:11:25Hey.
01:11:26Wasn't expecting ya?
01:11:28Yeah, um, I just, um, I just came to say goodbye because I'm leaving a little bit earlier
01:11:42than planned.
01:11:44Oh, you know.
01:11:46Yeah, you were right.
01:11:48I, uh, never should have doubted the myths of a man's motherland.
01:11:53Because it worked.
01:11:55All of it.
01:11:57Um, after you dropped me off last night, I got a call from New York.
01:12:02Um, the show that I auditioned for, they want to see me again.
01:12:06And the final callback's tomorrow.
01:12:12It's the job of my dreams.
01:12:14That's, uh, congratulations.
01:12:18Yeah.
01:12:21I never would have gotten that call if it wasn't for you.
01:12:23But that's not true.
01:12:24Yes, it is.
01:12:25Irish luck isn't just about ticking boxes, Fiona.
01:12:29None of it works without belief, conviction.
01:12:33That's all you.
01:12:34Uh, I should really be getting back.
01:12:43I hope you know.
01:12:44Look, you don't have to say anything else, alright?
01:12:46I, I'm happy for you.
01:12:50You caught the horizon you were after.
01:12:53And, of all the pubs in Ireland, I'm glad it was mine that you came twirling through.
01:13:01Me too.
01:13:03Goodbye, Fiona.
01:13:08Goodbye, Fiona.
01:13:15Goodbye, Fiona.
01:13:19.
01:13:25I can't believe I just got a new grandma and now I have to leave.
01:13:51Look, we have all the time in the world ahead of us. Please call me Gigi. I've always wanted
01:14:00to be Gigi. I like Gigi. What's up, sweetheart? You look as if you're wrestling with yourself.
01:14:12I am just not entirely sure that I want to get on that plane right now. What's going on?
01:14:17Okay, there's this old building in town that's up for auction today and it just, it has this
01:14:26magic about it. It actually reminds me of Miss Wilder's old dance studio in Brooklyn and I just
01:14:33haven't been able to get it out of my head. So what are you saying? You know better than
01:14:40anyone. How much living I have missed out on just relentlessly chasing this dream. Convinced
01:14:49that my life could truly begin once I finally made it. You know? But there's always going
01:14:56to be auditions and more what ifs. For the first time in my life, it feels like there's
01:15:02a dream that's actually chasing me. Miss? Your flight?
01:15:07Please. Gotta go. Yeah. I love you. See you soon, darling. You be safe. Yeah. Bye-bye.
01:15:31Bye-bye. Hey, these are for you. Where's Fiona? Gone. Why'd you let her leave? I can't exactly
01:16:01chain her to the bar, love. Why didn't you ask her to stay? I've only known her a week.
01:16:07So? Ask her to stay a little longer. It worked for you once, didn't it? You've got to fight
01:16:16fight for her. Like you did for Mum. Remember?
01:16:46Come on. Hurry up. Hurry up. I'm going as quick as these legs will carry me. Keys, Dad. Keys.
01:17:01Step on it. I'll put you in the car. Great. So we'll be safe and late. Perfect combo.
01:17:08Let's go.
01:17:09Let's go.
01:17:10Let's go.
01:17:11Let's go.
01:17:12Let's go.
01:17:13Hey, are you and Judy still at the cottage?
01:17:42her flight's boarding. We'll never make it. I'm so sorry, Dad.
01:17:59Me too, kiddo. Me too.
01:18:12Okay, Fiona. Go, go, go.
01:18:17Excuse me. Sorry. Um, is the auction over?
01:18:21Never really started. A private bidder snapped it up first thing this morning.
01:18:25Um, is there any way that you could give me their name?
01:18:29Absolutely not. That's illegal.
01:18:33I'm so sorry, sweetie.
01:18:36Oh, stop your moaning now. It's not over till the Irish lady sings,
01:18:41and I haven't cleared my throat yet.
01:18:44Benefit of living here all my life is I know people.
01:18:50Okay.
01:18:53Any idea who bought the place?
01:18:56No idea at all.
01:18:57Okay, thanks a million.
01:19:00She certainly has Moxie.
01:19:02She sure does.
01:19:04Fountain!
01:19:06Come on, hurry up, girls.
01:19:08Okay, uh, what exactly is the plan here?
01:19:11We're gonna confront the owner and then what? Force him to give me the space?
01:19:16We're not going to force anyone, but sometimes a friendly chat can go a long way.
01:19:21And sometimes, yeah, it's good to spin your own look.
01:19:25The buyer's right up here.
01:19:30Oh, no. I threw a piece of coal at that guy the other day.
01:19:35I was trying to get it on the boat, but I kept missing.
01:19:38Why would you do that?
01:19:40It's a good luck thing.
01:19:42What have you got here?
01:19:45Well, we're here to talk about the Hanson building.
01:19:50You?
01:19:51You're the coal-lobbing lassie from the other day, aren't you?
01:19:54Yes, sorry about that.
01:19:56Captain?
01:19:58Can I call you Captain?
01:20:02Okay.
01:20:03Here's the deal.
01:20:04Well, I have spent most of my life believing that I was just an inherently unlucky person.
01:20:09You know, walking around under a permanent dark cloud.
01:20:12But ever since coming here and just being around all the warmth and the kindness of everyone,
01:20:17it's felt like the sun was finally peeking out, you know?
01:20:20And, well, I just wanted more of that.
01:20:23So I threw myself into every Irish superstition and good luck ritual
01:20:26in hopes of finally shaking off the cloud and turning my luck around for good,
01:20:29hence throwing the coal at you.
01:20:31Apologies again.
01:20:32But now, I can't for the life of me think of why I thought I was so unlucky in the first place, you know?
01:20:41And what's all this got to do with the Hanson building?
01:20:44Right.
01:20:45Back to the point.
01:20:46I have also been a dancer my whole life.
01:20:49And walking into that beautiful building and seeing what it was and what it could be again,
01:20:55not just for me, but for the village, you know?
01:20:58For every little girl with a dream.
01:21:01It just really felt like fate was reaching out to me.
01:21:06I'm afraid I can't sell it to you.
01:21:10The building's been in my family for nearly a hundred years.
01:21:13We lost it back in 98.
01:21:16Fought hard to get it back.
01:21:22What if I rented it from you?
01:21:23I promise it would be in such good hands.
01:21:26Rent?
01:21:27I'm sure you're a charming man like yourself.
01:21:30Now, I'd wager you have a few granddaughters.
01:21:34A whole gaggle.
01:21:36Lively as the sea they are.
01:21:38Could use an outlet.
01:21:40Well, I would be honored to provide that for them.
01:21:42Looks like you found a new landlord.
01:21:47Thank you so much.
01:21:51Oh, boy.
01:21:53Well, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling pretty lucky right now.
01:21:55Me, too.
01:21:56Oh, cha-cha!
01:21:58Hey!
01:22:13What are you doing here?
01:22:14Did you know that if you have an Irish grandparent, you can become a dual citizen?
01:22:21Is that right?
01:22:22Yeah.
01:22:23Which I thought might come in handy, you know, with my parents being over there and the studio here.
01:22:29Studio?
01:22:30Yeah.
01:22:31You haven't heard?
01:22:32Oh, I just signed a year's lease on the old Hanson building.
01:22:35So, your village just got a new dance teacher.
01:22:39I thought maybe you could help me find my first student.
01:22:42What about Broadway?
01:22:45I found a better horizon.
01:23:12Yeah.
01:23:17By the way I got one of our voices and your community.
01:23:21Thank you so much.
01:23:23Bye.
01:23:24Bye.
01:23:30Bye.
01:23:31Bye.
01:23:32And remember, no pirouettes in the streets.
01:23:34Oh, my God.
