HE LAUGHS

Have you seen it? What?

SHE GASPS

Dear God.

MESSAGE ALER

Oh, your interview's out.

Well, what's it like?

Is it not good? It's, um

Let me see. Bernie, it's

important to remember,

the first time you

see yourself in print,

it can be a bit of a shock.

What?

When I wrote my book, I

did some national press,

and the Roscommon

Echo, well, now,

to say they twisted

things was

Finbar, you're scaring me!

Oh, my God.

The text isn't really

that Oh, my God!

Look, "Bernie Sheridan, a

spirited recovering alcoholic."

Spirited.

Oh, Jesus wept! SHE GROANS

I think they've up-skirted

her. No, it's just the light.

Is IT just the light?

FINBAR CLEARS THROAT Your

mother's interview is, er

Yeah. We've We've

seen it. How is she?

WHISPERS: Well, she's

a bit sensitive.

I'm going to pop out,

get her some breakfast.

So, I'd tread softly "for

you tread on my dreams."

That's not really

appropriate here, but

terrific writer.

Alex, I've to go!

My mum's interview came out, and

she looks f*cking psychotic.

LOUD TALKING OUTSIDE

I am done, yeah? You

can talk, can't ya?

Look, get out of

here! What's going on?

That your girlfriend, is it?

Shiv

this is Gareth.

He's my da.

And if he doesn't f*ck

off right this second,

I'm calling the guards.

Knock and wait, Ant! Sorry.

Er, just letting you know I'll

be showing Eddie the house

I'm going out now, anyway,

so To milk some cows?

What? Did Little Bow

Peep lose her sheep?

Are you helping her find them?

f*ck off! It's cottagecore!

It's fashion.

Fashion for the farm?

f*ck off, Ant!

SHE EXHALES, DOOR BELL RINGS

Mr Sheridan.

Eddie Appleby, great

to see you again.

Eddie, hey. Coached

your son Carl.

Rugby. We were

Right. So, this is the house.

Great place. How

long have you had it?

Er, bought it in,

er, the mid-'80s.

Just before Carl was born

For what, ten bob

and a bag of oranges?

HE LAUGHS I'm only joking.

Close, I'd say, though.

Is this the living room?

What's going on? Mum,

this is my boss, Eddie.

He's here for the valuation.

Mrs Sheridan. Pleasure.

What valuation?

I sent you a text yesterday,

appraising you of the situation.

Appraising me?!

You might have been too

busy with your press junket.

OK, Eddie. Let's, er,

give you the tour.

Don't worry, we'll

get you a great price.

What's the price on a

lifetime of memories?

Between 850 and 900k, I'd

say. Subject to survey.

He left when I was two.

Well, no. He left,

then he came back,

and then he f*cked off to England

until he got in trouble over there.

Never had a proper job, and

my ma always took him back.

No matter what he did, no

matter who he was with

Where does he live now?

Maybe with my aunt,

maybe in a shelter.

I really don't care.

He looks Like sh*t?

Yeah, he does. And

he deserves it.

But, like, could he

be, you know, sick?

You said he only started

coming here a few months ago.

No, it's He heard

about the restaurants.

He thinks I have cash.

That's all he's interested in.

I had to drop out of school

and start working in kitchens

cos that f*ck never

left us a penny.

He is an as*h*le, but

he's still your dad.

BANGS TABLE No, he's

He's not.

He's never done anything for me.

He's a liar and a

manipulator, and the only way

to deal with people like

that is to cut them out

like the f*ck'

cancer they are!

I owe him nothing.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry your morning's

been taken up with his sh*t.

What's going on with your ma?

Oh, now, that is-is

It doesn't matter.

It's not important.

That's the problem

with these vampires.

They always make

it all about them.

I suppose it depends how

much work you wanna do.

Work? Kitchen's a bit dated.

Carpets are I

chose those carpets.

No, no, no, no, no.

I Huge fan. Huge fan.

But, buyer's market.

Any excuse to drive down prices.

Well, then, obviously,

it's not the time to sell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Eddie,

but people who forge signatures

and commit fraud don't

really get a say

And we can price it to sell.

You know, it's still a

great house, great location,

the perfect opportunity for someone

to put their own stamp on it.

This guy. Writing the

marketing blurb already.

I don't wanna hang

around. Good, decisive.

Suppose an auction is

probably our best option.

Get a bit of a buzz going,

some blood in the water.

Could start showing

this week. This week?!

If Anthony here could give the

place a bit of a spring clean.

Absolutely. I'll

make some calls.

OK. Sounds good.

That house across the road.

That's not the place where

that poor woman was

She was a good friend of Mum's.

That's where I know you from!

Your photo didn't

do you justice.

Poor woman. An

alcoholic, then m*rder*d.

Pam wasn't an

alcoholic, was she?

Says it in the paper.

Book club was the giveaway.

Shiv! Shiv!

How are ya? Hi.

Listen, er, I'm sorry for

upsetting you earlier.

You know

I don't mean to cause

any harm, you know.

I just wanted to see

my boy, you know.

You're a nice girl.

So

You couldn't loan me a

couple of quid, would ya?

I haven't eaten today, you know.

I've a pain in me

chest. I I'm sorry.

Nah, that's all right.

You're a nice girl.

Thanks. Nice to meet you.

Gareth.

Oh.

Look I'll get

that back to you.

It's OK.

Thank you, Shiv! Thank you.

Shh.

What are you doing?

I've been going through

the bank statements.

There's some suspicious

activity. Like what?

Erm dodgy subscriptions.

Look, er Paris Review.

Times Literary Supplement.

Men's Health

Magazine! That was me.

Well, anyway, look at this.

New credit card, 500 a month.

She is funnelling money to

Finbar. But we don't know that.

The man's written one

book, what's he living off?

Dad No, I can't trust her.

Right, now, I need you

to go through her bag

and see if there's a

MasterCard ending in 7

Look, Dad, I don't mind helping

with the house stuff, but I can't.

PHONE CHIMES

It's Max. Max? Why's

he texting you?

Oh, good man yourself.

But what's I've

gotta make a call.

Whose barbecue is this again?

Cliona, I've known

her since school.

DOORBELL

Said we'd come

early, help set up.

Is it a fancy dress thing?

No. Then, er, why

are you wearing that?

What's wrong with it?

It's just a bit

mumsy or something.

Shane, I need to tell

Caroline!

Rory! Er, what are

you doing here?

We said we'd come

early and help set up.

Caroline! You didn't

say she would be here.

Er, Cliona's in the

kitchen, if Sorry.

HE SIGHS

What the

Mum?

Mum, are you here?

Mum?

Snared. I know

your little secret.

What are you talking about?

Er, OK. Where's Mum, is she OK?

You're back on the piss? What?

Yeah, I found your little

stash in the toilet.

That's not mine.

Bullshit. Why's it

hidden in the cistern?

Maybe you left it

there at my party

when you were hoofing

lines of cocaine.

It's really not yours?

If I was gonna hide booze,

it'd be vodka or gin,

or something to actually

get shitfaced with.

The only person who drinks

white in this house is

She has been spending a shitload

of time in the bathroom.

Oh, my God.

PHONE BUZZES

Hello?

Speaking.

Oh, hi, Mary.

How's the, erm Have they

set a date for the trial?

Which interview?

All that stuff about how

easy the moral inventory is.

Obviously, if you're

boozing your way through it.

Mum! Oh. You're home.

I suppose you saw the

interview. I did, yeah.

SHE EXHALES Is it terrible?

No, it's not. The

DPP just called me.

They don't think I'm an

appropriate witness for trial.

I've really let Pam down.

Ah, no. No. BERNIE SIGHS.

I mean, I did say an interview

probably wasn't a great

I see. Of course.

I couldn't expect an ounce of

sympathy from my own children.

Mum. "I did say."

SHE SCOFFS

And him, trying to sell the

house out from under me.

Well, you know what? Two

can play at that game.

What does that mean?

If you and your father want

a fight for this house,

well, you've got one.

I'm just doing my job. Yeah.

DOOR SHUTS

Oh, my God.

I'm telling Finbar. No!

Why? He might actually

f*ck off, then.

You can't tell anyone, Ant.

This is serious. But you said

She is an alcoholic,

and she's drinking!

SHE SIGHS Just let

me handle it, OK?

Get rid of that!

Seriously, Ant, not a word.

f*ck's sake.

IDLE CHATTER

Rory. Rory!

Come on.

CHILD: Hey!

I'm just gonna

go to the bathroom.

RORY: Oh! What? I

wasn't looking at her!

Oh, my God. Oh, er

Marie-Luisa was making sandwiches

and accidentally cut me.

Oh, well, let me see.

She seems

intense.

She's actually a

good, erm laugh.

Your guy seems

Well, what's his name?

Shane. He's an

investment banker. Cool.

I think he might be a sociopath.

That's cool.

Er, your hand seems

fine. Oh, er, thanks.

OK, well, erm You

look really nice.

Er I've never seen you wear

anything like that before.

It's nice.

Thank you.

There's just something about

you right now, and I

I was waitin' For

the guilt to wear off

Woke with a dry mouth

And bitter thoughts

You were in a bad way

Bed sheets soaked in sweat

Want you to know this

The flowers never made it

And I never want them

Despite the good intent

I never called you

But I sent a couple texts ♪

Thanks, man, you're

a life-saver.

What are you doing? Oh,

Bernie said I could park here.

What? Just for a few weeks.

A few weeks?! Jack! Welcome.

Bernie! HE CHUCKLES.

Thanks. You're really

doing me a solid.

He-he can't park here.

We're selling the house.

I don't see what the problem is.

Well, people are

coming for viewings!

OK, look, I don't want to get

in the middle of anything

He has a child, Tom.

I do, and we're kind

of in a custody thing.

It's harrowing.

What? Bernie, this is not on.

Do you want a cup of tea, Jack?

I'd love one, actually, yeah.

Couldn't use your

shower, could I?

What about a bath? Nice!

Bit of luxury. I'll

get you a towel.

Bernie, this is

not on! DOOR SHUTS

Rory!

Rory, are you in

there? Er coming!

Rory! Open the door!

There's just something wrong

with the, er, the lock.

INTENSE KNOCKING Open the door!

You ready? Yeah.

Rory!

Hey.

What were you doing? I was

helping him with his hand.

That was a very

serious cut there.

You should be far more

careful with the bread knife.

She's a doctor.

I just I don't know whether

to confront her outright

or pretend like I've

only just found it,

cos I don't know if she's

been drinking this whole time

or if it's just a blip.

What do you think?

She has a sponsor.

That guy Billy? He's not

a sponsor, he's an idiot.

He's the whole reason

she did this interview.

God. So much being thrown

at her right now, you know.

The divorce, the house.

Maybe it's just a wobble.

I mean, that happens,

doesn't it? It happened to

Are you even listening? Yes.

You seem quite distracted.

Well, you've kind of

gate-crashed my evening.

Sorry.

Are you meeting friends or

No, I'm not meeting friends.

You're just sitting

in a bar not drinking?

Yes.

I'm trying to get picked up.

Picked up?! Shh!

You're not the Virgin Mary,

don't look so f*ck' shocked.

I was here a few of weeks ago.

Not Just having a lemonade,

and this man starts

talking to me.

You know, just chatting

and flirting, and then

Nothing happened,

but it was nice.

It was fun. It gave

me a little buzz.

So, I've been coming

back every week since

to make it happen again.

With the same man? With anyone.

I'm stifled in my relationship.

I want something new.

I want to be surprised

and excited again.

I get it. You've been

together a long time, and

And relationships

are hard. So hard.

Even this thing with Alex's dad?

I'm seeing a whole new side to him.

What? Angry? Judgmental?

Mildly oppressive?

A little bit, yeah.

f*ck' men.

Why do we always have to

give up a piece of ourselves?

Why are relationships never

what they're cracked up to be?

I want freedom,

I want adventure.

I want someone who gets that.

I don't want to live in

someone else's little box. No!

No little boxes! I want

to make my own rules.

I don't want any f*cking

rules. Ha! Me neither.

What are you doing? Huh?

Sorry, I thought you

might be into it.

For f*ck's sake, Karen,

I came here for help.

Ah, sorry, I just

Shiv! Wait!

God, you're supposed to

be my f*cking sponsor!

'Hey, this is Max.

You know what to do.'

Hey, er, you were supposed

to call me, but you haven't.

Erm and now, I am home

with a bag of mushrooms

that I'm probably gonna have to take

all on my own, unless you call me.

So, yeah.

DOORBELL

Hey. What do you want?

Is Bernie there? No,

she's out with Finbar.

Well, she hasn't been answering

any of my calls or texts, and

Well, I I saw the interview.

Is she all right?

No, Billy. She's not all right.

She's actually,

er hit the bottle.

What? Oh, my God!

Is this my fault?

Probably, yeah.

Will you give her these? Maybe.

If you ask me nicely.

Hey.

You will not believe

the day I've just had.

Did you give my da money?

What?

My da.

He came by here with 20 quid,

saying he wanted to pay you back.

Yeah. I met him on the

way home, he asked me.

f*ck's sake, Shiv!

Did you not hear

one word I said?

He was hungry! I was

just trying to

Listen, just cos

you've no boundaries

with your toxic family,

don't drag me into

that sh*t as well.

OK? What?

Alex

I-I can't talk to

you now, all right?

Alex!

Alex, for

f*ck's sake!

I say yes When I

should say nothing
