The Walsh Sisters (2025) s01e01 Episode Script

1
They'd ask you
what you'd like,
And you'd say what
my sister's having
Same new bike, same new shoes
When you were 4
And, I, 6 or 7
Always right, in your eyes
And oh I led the way
with pride those years ago
It turned to night
Close out the door
Curl up in bed
But leave on the light
We'd read books
You'd read yours
and I'd read mine
But I'd help you with
the words you didn't know
I never thought I'd
learn so much from you,
And for the most
part, I'm just proud
But I guess a part
of me just thought
It always be the
other way around
I never thought I'd
learn so much from you
I guess I thought
I knew it all
We're going to get a taxi.
Are you coming? No.
I'm sorry, I'm just not
as great as both of us
Thought when we were small.
They're going.
Rach, D'ya wanna go?
Rach.
Rachel.
Rachel!
Anna.
Anna, come in here!
Rachel. Rachel!
Cathy
Davey - "Little Red" ♪
Hey, I, I wouldn't let him in
No, I, I wouldn't,
I wouldn't let him in.
His eyes are close together,
His eyes are close together,
and he wears a toothy grin
Don't let him in
No, I wouldn't if I
were you let him in ♪
What are you doing? Hey.
Hey. Are you okay?
The fuck? I couldn't wake you.
Sit up. She's fine.
She's fine, she's fine.
I called an ambulance.
You what? What?
Of course, I called
an ambulance.
They're going to have to
check your vitals, Rachel.
I was shaking her.
She wasn't breathing.
Okay, look, can we all
just calm down, please.
I need to find my
phone. Where's my phone?
You're just a lightweight.
Here. Thank you.
This time, I thought
she was dead.
Was the ambulance
absolutely necessary?
Yeah, Anna, it was
absolutely necessary.
She wasn't breathing. Okay.
She's all right now.
Are you in immediate danger? Hi.
Say yes, if you can. No, sorry.
No, there's no emergency.
My boyfriend called
for an ambulance,
but I just want to cancel it.
Did you have a good
night after we left?
Yeah.
To a point.
You know what she's like, Anna?
She doesn't know when
to call it a day.
She's a grown woman, Luke, so you
just have to trust that she does.
Miss, what is your address?
I'm in Rathmines, but I
don't need an ambulance.
I'm really sorry for
waiting your time.
If you're not safe,
please say yes.
No, no, no, no.
I just I don't
need an ambulance.
My, em my boyfriend
panicked and threw water
in my face because
I'm an heavy sleeper.
I'm really sorry.
Uhh
Come on, get in.
No, we're not going to pretend
like that just didn't happen, okay?
UGH
Okay.
If you want to have it
out, let's go. Oh, sorry.
Are you trying to
turn this around now
so that you're
pissed off with me?
Yeah. No, fuck that, Rachel.
Oh my God.
You are insufferable.
You were the one
flirting with a bloke
right in front of my
face last night, yeah?
Purely because he had some coke.
I wasn't flirting with anyone.
Why'd you call me your brother?
It worked, didn't it?
It got you where
you wanted to go.
Listen, I'm sorry if
your ego's so delicate
that me showing someone else
some attention is so triggering.
You drive me mad, Rach.
God's sake
Hi, em I'm off today.
Get in here, Rachel.
You messed up the
Jacksons' reservation,
and I'm not cleaning
up your shit.
Anna, work just called.
There's some emergency
with one of the guests.
Can you drive me in?
You don't knock, huh?
I'm sorry. This is my apartment.
It's not your room.
Anna, do you mind me coming
in? Don't do that, Rachel.
I can order you a taxi.
Yeah, will you get a taxi?
I just don't want
to get out of bed.
We're just taking it
easy. Please, Anna.
No, Rachel. I'm going
to get you a taxi.
Benjamin will be with
you in 40 minutes.
Is there a match
on? I don't know.
I need to get there
quickly. Come on.
Okay, look, I'll be right back.
Don't move.
Don't move.
Did you use any shower
gel in the bathroom?
Yeah, it was the only
one that was in there.
Why? Was I not supposed to?
No, no. That's fine.
It's just
Just different.
And? Am I dumping it?
No, no, no, no, it's fine.
It's just my sense of smell.
It's really heightened.
Oh, don't do that, Mag.
You've got every symptom
under the sun every month.
I know, but this month
I actually can smell it.
Paul, I'm just saying.
Look, are we going to talk about
what happened this morning,
or are we just going to add it to
the list of things that we ignore?
What? What's that
supposed to mean?
Luke was really concerned.
Too concerned.
Well, I mean, the ambulance
was definitely unnecessary.
What if someone actually
needed an ambulance
and they couldn't get it because
they were on our way to ours?
Yeah, exactly. I mean, like
You know, it's actually a really
selfish thing to do to call an
ambulance, if you think about
it. I don't think it's selfish.
I think he was really worried.
Anyway, let's just
everyone needs to calm down
and just take a
bit of space. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's genius.
Maybe we should walk the Camino
or climb Kilimanjaro or something.
No, no, no, no, no, Rachel. Not you
and me space, you and Luke space.
Besides, people
only walk the Camino
when they're trying to
run away from their lives.
And I definitely cannot
run away right now
because I actually have
something to tell you.
Why are you turning down the
radio and being so dramatic?
Are you dying? No.
Are you pregnant? No.
What? I know.
He put it in a
croissant this morning.
Who, Aidan? Obviously!
This is absolutely
not obvious, Anna.
You only met him a
few weeks ago. Months.
It's been months. You
barely know this man.
I do know him, and I
know that I love him.
I actually might announce
it at lunch today.
I don't even know why I care
because this is never
actually going to happen.
This is just another
one you're notions.
It's definitely happening.
We're going to spin around
a few venues today, I think.
Why are you laughing?
You've said nothing
about the ring.
Yeah, because you're going to
be giving it back in a few days.
Do you even know his
mother's maiden name
or if he had any childhood pets?
Rachel, I'm marrying the guy.
I'm not trying to
hack into his email.
I can't believe this.
I mean, this is just ridiculous.
How long are we going to have to
wait for this colleague of yours?
You understand Oh, shit.
You're off the plane, and
you're just Absolutely.
Can you not see how
upsetting this is?
Here's my colleague now.
She'll be able to help you.
Finally.
Mr. And Ms. Jackson.
No. I don't want to hear it.
We demand that you
fix it right now.
I'm so sorry.
I honestly don't know
how this happened.
I mean, I definitely remember
making the booking, so.
So you're calling me a liar?
No, no, no, no.
No, I'm not saying that.
Anna, I'm quitting. Fuck this.
I'm better than this.
Oh, sorry.
There's no point in
sending this to you
because you don't have any time
for me at one of my voice notes.
Now that you have a fiancé.
Luke, do you want to
come for lunch today?
Dad would love I
don't want to see you.
No, you probably don't.
Listen, I just need you to
know that I love you so much,
and I'm so sorry that
last night was so chaotic.
Can we hang out tonight?
Walshy, smoke.
Christ, how are
you still standing?
I got some Valiums
off my neighbour.
I'm probably going
to lose my job,
and then my mother's
gonna lose her shit.
Ugh. I just don't know
what people want from me.
Mm. The best lesson
I've ever learnt.
Tell people what they want
to hear, whatever it is.
An apology, a free breakfast.
Give it to them.
They'll leave you alone.
Mm. You're right.
You're always right.
D'ya know that?
Actually, I'm going to
change your name on my phone
to the voice of reason.
Oh, shit.
UGH. Lunch.
Walshy?
Are you okay?
Grand.
Wait till I see where
it went. There, there.
No, no. Jesus, stop. What?
Jack, for God's sake,
will you stop clicking?
Now it looks as if I like that
Sandra Clifford's dog died.
Helen? Helen, come in here.
What do you need now?
It's disappeared again.
Will you help me get it up?
Dad, if you ever ask me to help you
get it up again, I will kill myself.
Jesus Christ, Helen.
12 o'clock on a Saturday,
she's making suicide jokes.
Oh, I'm not joking, mum.
Look, Mick Clifford took Sandra
on the Shannon as a surprise.
25 years to be married.
Clonmacnoise is
the best he can do.
Well, then at least, Mick
Clifford still takes his wife
places, even if it is Offaly.
Haven't we enough
to be doing here?
Our girls are gone, Jack.
I'm ready for my
postpartum adventure.
It's only been what, 35 years?
Helen's not gone,
she's still here.
Yeah, but she's at college.
Anna and Rachel are away
with their own lives.
As for Claire, she needs
to stop relying on us
to do everything with Kate.
She is our
granddaughter. Exactly.
We're done.
I want to go somewhere,
somewhere there's no drama.
Maybe a cruise? No drama.
A cruise. People die on cruises.
They do not. They do so.
I read it online.
I sent you a link.
They go there to die.
It's cheaper than a hospice.
No, I'm really sorry we had
to interrupt our morning.
Yeah, annoying.
Do we have to do this lunch
every week until we die?
No, just until they do.
And Jesus, I should
not have said that.
No, it's actually really
nice to have a weekly
check-in with everyone. I
shouldn't have said that.
You're not wearing your ring.
I just need to find
the right moment.
How did Rach take it?
Not well, but she takes
traffic lights personally.
She's just really-Possessive?
No, actually, I was
going to say loyal.
Here, I need to stop
and get some flowers.
Can't arrive empty-handed.
Hiya. Hi.
Heya.
So you have two options.
You have flowers or chocolate.
You are a soft lick arse. What?
You'd always complain
about mum's demands,
then you'd give in to them.
Yeah, Helen, for a quiet life.
In fairness, you have
created a monster to a point.
Thank you. I don't
want to golf with Jack.
Okay, bye.
Ugh.
Hello. Hiya.
Sorry, thank you so much for
getting those bits, Maggie.
You have two options,
chocolate or cookies.
I'm not giving her chocolates or
biscuits. She'll say I'm a feeder.
Well, they're the only
options I have, Claire.
She's not wrong, though.
Mom's already in a bad mood
because dad fell asleep at mass.
I'll give her the flowers.
You'll kill them.
I'm giving them to
her in five minutes.
Still. I'm capable of
keeping things alive,
thank you very much.
You sound like James.
How is James?
I have to be careful now
because the walls have ears.
Kate, we go inside and say
hi to Nanny and grandad.
Where's Auntie Rachel?
Should we see if
she's inside? Okay.
All right, go on about James.
He wants me to bring her over
because he's missing
the birthday tomorrow.
I'm just exhausted. I'm
dragging her through airports.
Why is it always me
that goes over there?
I know.
But she loves to see him,
and he loves to see her.
Don't do that, Maggie.
You always take his side.
I don't. I'm just saying
you should bring her.
I will, don't I always?
I'm just saying that being a parent
is a gender imbalance cesspool.
Okay.
Give me a hand here.
I think we should go huge.
I think they said the
room only holds 60.
60 it is.
We can't let my parents
pay for anything.
Otherwise, every single person
on their road will be invited.
No, I'm paying.
I already told you, but But?
My money, my music. No.
No, no, no chance.
Any sign of Rachel?
Kate's crying.
She's not here yet.
Oh, God. I need a
night off from this.
Night off? When did you
last have a night on?
What would you know about
being a single mother?
Eh, that you're not one?
Come on, we're all
raising that child.
Her first word was Was Mama.
Yeah, who was it
directed on? Rachel.
Okay, Helen, leave it. Hey.
Hey. Hello.
Hi. What's it today, Maggie?
Chicken. Oh, my favourite.
Let me help. I told you.
I did suggest lamb,
but mum was horrified
I would suggest it
at this time of year.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
She's watching from the good room.
Hey, Mum. Hey.
The ball in the middle.
This V goes to that shoulder.
There you go. Now, go on.
Oh.
We'll try that again.
The worst thing when
Princess Diana died
was the outpouring of
cheap ugly flowers.
I'm sorry, the merger thing
wrapped in plastic isn't up
to your standards.
He's all right.
These ones are gorgeous, Anna.
We'll put them into the
window of the good room.
Sure no one goes into
the good room, mum?
Yeah, leave them here
where we can see them.
Everyone passing by on
the street would see them.
Oh, well then. Well,
I'll do it later.
Sorry. There she is.
Rachel!
Mum, these are for you.
Butter cookies. I'll
be as fat as a fool.
Are you trying to
give me diabetes?
Mum, dial down the
fat-phobia, please.
It is really boring. Fat-phobia?
See, that's the problem
with your generation, Helen.
You're so accepting.
Excuse us for trying to
make people feel comfortable
in their own bodies.
But at what cost, Helen?
At what cost?
Hey, you perked up
since this morning.
Mum, a friend of mine is selling
a ticket to Field of Dreams.
You are a grown woman Helen.
Do you need to ask permission?
Field of Dreams? That's wild.
Sure Jack didn't the Department
of Health have an amnesty
tent to that thing?
They do, for the drugs.
I am going to serve
the dinner now.
Open the window there
like a good girl, Helen.
Don't the smell of food
in the house all day.
Guys, she doesn't need
to ask for permission.
Helen's 23 years old. I'm not.
But thank you.
You'd never let us go to
a festival like that one.
None of you had to ask because
you all got the chance to escape.
Oh, escape?
Excuse me for putting
a roof over your heads.
You're an adult, Helen.
You can do whatever you want.
Yeah, but the ticket is 300,
and I don't have any money.
It's alarming you don't
even have a small cushion
when you're living
here rent-free. Garv.
I'll put a small
cushion over his head.
Just because you still
have your communion money.
Under his mattress.
Do you think we should
get the ticket for her?
Absolutely not. It's hot.
Ah, guys, it's not that simple.
It's expensive out there.
Says you, and I'm the dope who
pays your rent when you're broke.
Here we are. Yeah, if you spend
less money on gigs and flat whites,
you might have a hope. You're
a generation of wasters.
Wasters?
Mum, things are
different since your day.
Bouncy castle tomorrow is
costing me 200 euro for the day.
It's not our fault that the
systemic underinvestment
of successive governments means
that buying a house is impossible
and renting a
place is extortion.
Although, yeah, the government
are trying more now.
Just a bit.
Just stay safe with
that festival, Helen.
You don't know the people
that go to that type of thing.
Yeah, Helen. Protect
yourself from the rabble.
You think you're going to catch
poverty or something, is it?
Go on, Garb.
Garv!
Can Auntie Rachel come on the
bouncing castle with me tomorrow?
Well, it's your birthday,
so you get what you want.
Yay. Yay!
Okay, let's watch
some cartoons now.
Mum's going to go talk to
the aunties, all right?
Where's Luke?
Did he not say he was
coming today? I don't know.
Maybe he changed his
mind. That poor lad.
How does he put up with you?
I don't know, mum.
People put up with
all sorts of stuff.
I like Luke. The guy's got rizz.
He's got what?
Rizz.
Luke has rizz. Are
you having a stroke?
Walshes, I've news.
Has Black Friday come early?
No, actually.
Actual news, hot off the press.
On Monday, I will finally
be a full Walsh again.
My divorce has done.
And To Claire!
What's that look
for, Mum? Nothing.
I'm not putting up with
any negativity about this.
I'm finally rid of a man who
left me the day Kate was born.
Yeah, this is huge. Yeah,
we have to celebrate.
Even I would celebrate that.
Oh, well, I'd love to
go out, but you know.
Why don't you go out,
Garv and I'll babysit.
Yeah. No, no, no.
You should all go.
Your mother and I
will do this sitting.
You may volunteer yourself, but
don't go offering my services.
I have my programmes to watch.
Well, I'll watch her.
Thanks, dad. I'm favourite.
In your dreams. Congratulations.
Thank you.
When I have a phone, I'll
text you all day, every day.
Promise? Promise.
You're my favourite,
you know that?
Why don't you and I
just run away together?
Where would we go?
The moon.
Rachel, be your time
way back. The moon.
Rach!
The moon. That's
the best idea ever.
Come here.
See you later. Bye.
Why don't you want to tell them?
I don't know.
Look, I just don't want our
big news to be undermined
because my family think
I'm being typical.
I can't imagine they'd
be anything but excited.
My friend's already booking
flights from back home.
Yeah?
Yeah, it's a great day.
It is a great day.
Sorry. Sorry.
But I didn't think the two of you
would be going at it in a single bed
when everyone is knee-deep
in profiteroles downstairs?
What, there's none left? Barely.
I'll leave you
guys to it. Yeah
Go clean my dancing shoes.
Ay yi yi, yi yi.
Come here. Okay.
Nice.
Scratch my arm. Come on.
Harder, don't be feathery.
See you too the ring off.
I'm so glad that you
changed your mind.
No, I didn't change
my mind. Really?
Why didn't you announce it then?
It's not the right time.
That's for sure. Rachel, like
I have this really deep,
like knowing that
Like, this is right.
He's the one, I think.
Why are you so against it?
You're just the only
one that really knows me
and doesn't try and change me.
Now you'll be gone.
I'm not going anywhere.
My love for Aidan doesn't
replace my love for you.
Like, we're sisters.
It's not possible.
Yeah, but what if you get
hurt and he breaks your heart
and then you love me less because
your love muscle's damaged?
I'm not going to
leave you, you looper.
He's going to take you away.
He's not taking me anywhere.
You're moving out.
I mean, eventually, we'll
probably get a place.
Rachel, why are you so panicked?
Because you're moving out.
I never said anything about moving.
You were the one who brought it up.
Are you going to have
a baby without me?
I mean, without telling me?
What about cinema
Sundays, and
and-and Tuesdays with Krispy
Kreme and the Bake Off?
Yeah, we'll still
do do all of that.
But he'll always be with you.
No, he could be with his
friends or something.
Does he have friends? Rachel.
Have you met them?
This is a terrible idea.
God, I love you but
this conversation is bananas.
I'm leaving.
Are you okay?
Do you think Luke's controlling?
Controlling? No.
I think he's the most
concerned, like
caring guy ever.
I would go as far as
to say he loves you
more than your mother does.
Well, that wouldn't be hard. No.
But like, Rachel, do
not sabotage this.
Luke's fab.
And he really cares about you.
Sometimes I think
he cares too much.
See, there you go, looking for
problems with her and on again.
You on your period or something?
Are you?
Guys, can we walk
on the footpath?
Okay, mum.
What are you two
up to back there?
You better not be
planning to ditch us.
I just got divorced, you bitch.
Do not make this about you.
If I'm being dragged out, you
are not getting away with it.
You're such a flake.
I'm not a flake.
It's a bit flaky
if you leave. Garv.
She used to be
flake. Now she's
What's the one with
two chocolate fingers?
A Twirl.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you don't know what
we're talking about?
It's a chocolate bar. Yeah,
sorry. We all have a food.
So I'm a Jelly Baby because
everyone buys my head off.
Helen's a Turkish Delight.
She's confusing.
And only weird people like her.
I'm a spicy curry, obviously.
We're going to miss
the next train, guys.
And Maggie's a plain
yoghurt at room temperature.
Plain yoghurt's lovely, Garv.
Yeah, and it's really
good for thrush.
Oh
Too much.
Well, I got you a
lovely pink hairband,
so we can be matching.
And when you wake
up, you'll be Six.
And I'll have lots of presents.
Yes, I think you will.
Night, night. Night.
Samantha Mumba - "Always Come
Back to Your Love" plays in bar ♪
No, no, no, no, no.
Three more shots.
It's the song!
Three shots, please.
Helen! It's our song!
Maggie!
Come on. Absolutely
not. Stop her.
Okay, okay, we're not doing it.
Please Claire, come on. Yeah, we are.
Go on.
It's a divorce
party. Okay, stop it.
I always come
back to your love.
Clearly now. I'm not doing it.
Take my shot.
5, 6, 7.
Here we go.
Is he ready?
Show Me Where I Belong Tonight
Give me a reason to stay
Embarassing.
No matter if I
go left or right
I always come
back to your love
Do the worm. No. No.
Welcome to the family.
Get off the floor.
Oh, Jesus. Claire.
Oh, my God.
There's probably
glass down there.
Oh my God
Are you okay?
Hey, Mr. Quiff at
the end of the bar
wanted to send a
mojito. Mr. Queef?
Mr. Quiff. Which one?
Which one, which
one? The worm lady.
The worm lady.
She called you the worm lady.
Okay, let's go, let's
go. No, that's you.
It works every time.
I can't be worm lady.
Oh my God, enough with
the sad boyfriend.
I think I'm going to go. What?
Patch things up with Luke.
I'm just getting a pain in my
stomach that he hasn't text back.
No, no, darling.
Do not curtail your
happiness for a man.
Look, look, look at you.
You're a fucking vision?
What's a boy to do to
get a solo performance?
Not a fucking lot
apparently, apparently.
Needs more booze.
We can sort that.
I'm going to keep calling
you until you show up.
I really need to talk to you.
She thought that after we were
married, I'd change my mind.
You know, I hate that.
You can't just force
people to change.
Sorry, can I just get a beer?
That's coercive
control. Exactly.
So I take it you're not one
of these broody women, though.
Yeah, no. The whole kids thing.
It's just not for me.
Are you serious?
Man, this woman has a kid.
In fact, she's turning six
tomorrow. And mummy dearest here
is supposed to be organising a
birthday party right about now.
Are you for real?
What?
Am I lying?
Have a nice night,
Claire. No, David.
Come back.
I have a child,
not fucking Ebola.
You're a bitch, Rachel.
Sorry.
She'll get this. What?
I'm on my way,
Rach. Where are you?
I'm outside Zozimus,
waiting for you.
When you don't text me back,
it's like everything's wrong.
I mean, I hated not
replying to you,
but I don't know what
to say to you, Rach.
Like a broken record
these days, you know?
Yeah.
You are.
But I know it's
because you love me.
Yeah. You need to
know I'm an adult.
I know how to manage
my life. Can you?
I can. I just
Oh.
Fuck, sorry. I'm a bit drunk.
You're hiding it
so well. Come on.
Let's get out of here, I'm cold.
We can talk about
this in the morning.
Lukey.
Have you calmed down?
Or were you out here waiting
for some emergency vehicle?
Shut up, Anna.
The guy called an ambulance
on you this morning, like.
Stop trying to stir
shit with Luke and I
just because you think you're the
only one who's allowed to be happy.
Okay, can we just
stop. What's going on?
Don't. Oh, you want
me to shut up, is it?
Rachel.
You're afraid that I might
reveal to your actual family
that you have a secret fiancé?
Fiancé? You're engaged?
Who's engaged? I am.
To who?
What? What?
Leave me alone.
I'm trying to subtly
suggest that we leave.
Okay.
Well, if you think
it's best we
No, let's get
ourselves come along.
Move a little line.
Come on, ladies.
No, Mr. Von Trapp wants home.
I give up, Rach.
Oh, I
Luke, I was joking.
Come on.
Rachel, come on.
Let's go back in.
This is Claire's night.
Don't ruin this on her.
Just leave me alone, Maggie.
Congratulations.
We're all just going to
go inside for champagne,
and forget that just
happened, does it?
We go one more?
What?
Guys, I have never been more
sure I'm going to marry that man.
That brilliant legend
of a man in six weeks.
Six weeks? Is that a
refundable deposit?
Mum and dad don't even
know his surname, Anna.
Or that you're engaged.
Yeah, I'm not doing this now.
It's I not that we're not happy
for you, but it's just very quick.
I'm not doing this now.
Damien.
Damien. Walshy, what's the
craic? How you getting on?
I need a smoke.
You look like you could do
with a lot more than a smoke.
D'ya have some? Maybe.
Yes, I do. Come on.
Let's go, let's go.
The night is looking up!
You best believe it.
Please, I'll raise a glass and
give us your Irish blessing.
Anna, I love you so much.
Thank you for welcoming
me to the family,
and I can't wait to
call it my own. To us.
Americans are so gross though.
Excuse me.
The shoes are my I can forgive
the shoes, but I'm with Helen.
You're as unconcealed
with your feelings.
Are you going to let
them roast me like this?
Come on. We're Irish.
Roasting you means we love you.
That's confusing.
Well, welcome to
being confused. Yay.
To have a brand new
heart and brand new head
To find the smallest
of all things exciting
To find the biggest
of all things inviting
Oh, to be a child
again, they said
At first, I thought I
did, but now I'm thinking
And I don't know if I do,
'cause I'm just thinking
That maybe, we don't
miss being younger
Maybe we just miss the wonder
We miss a point of view
But we can have it, too
If we really try, all you
have to do is open your eyes
The world is just the
same as it has always been
The beauty is alive
It's eager to be seen
So don't dismiss the colours,
don't dismiss, the sounds
Find comfort in the rain,
find magic in the clouds
As we get older,
we fall into a spell
To blame it on the world and
not to look inside ourselves
How come I've never
seen you before?
Ya some kind of recluse?
A recluse?
No.
Every bouncer in
Dublin knows who I am.
Maybe you just don't
know where's cool.
Yeah, that's possible.
That's very possible.
Do you believe in
love at first sight?
I don't know.
I do believe in
annoyed at first sight.
You know when you just see
someone and they piss you off,
without even looking
at you. Mm-hmm.
Oh, did I
Did I just ruin where this
was going with my jokes?
No. Not at all.
You know, maybe we
shouldn't, though.
I don't know. I want you to
know that I'm kinda into you.
Don't want it to be a one
night only kinda thing.
Same.
But that doesn't mean we
should deprive ourselves.
You know?
Mum, mum, look at me. I'm six.
Oh, hi.
Your eyes.
Oh, my God, my head.
Where are my presents?
Oh, wait till you
see your presents.
Come on, come on.
Yeah, just give mommy a minute.
Okay.
Oh, come on, Claire.
Come on, Claire.
Come on.
It's 10 o'clock.
Hello, Big Ben.
You'd said you'd get Kate to
give me a call this morning
when she opened her present.
She's my child too, Claire.
I'm sorry, there's been an issue.
I don't even want to hear it,
there's always an issue.
Perfect.
Idiot.
Sorry, man.
Sorry. Don't mind her. Rachel.
Rachel.
Drink. No, we're done drinking.
Her name is Rachel.
Rachel? Rachel, can you hear me?
Rachel? Rachel?
Rachel, can you tell
us what happened?
Yeah, I fell asleep.
I was so tired.
We could barely detect a
pulse when we found you.
Tell me, have you any history
of drug abuse, alcohol abuse,
substance abuse?
Any history of self-harming
or suicidal thoughts?
Look, I'm sorry for
your wasting your time.
I just couldn't sleep, so I
took a little sleeping tablet.
Morning.
I've ordered new sneakers to be
more palatable to your sisters.
Okay, you passed the test.
It's just mum too impressed
now, so I hope you bought Nikes.
So listen, there's something-
I think your Adidas
will be fine.
I love you.
So there's something
I need to tell you.
Hang on.
Hello?
Hi, could I speak to
Anna Walsh? Speaking?
Hi, it's about your
sister, Rachel.
She was admitted to A&E
earlier this morning.
An ambulance was
called. Is she okay?
Hi Jack. Hi Jack. Hiya.
You could do it a
bit, son. Oh, dad.
Not now, not now.
Great job, great job.
This just isn't the reaction-
Are you okay? Yeah.
No, I'm totally fine, honestly.
Are you happy for me to
continue with your sister here?
Yeah.
How you presented today, I know you
didn't just take a sleeping tablet.
You know, most medical
studies aren't done on women.
So maybe it's a female thing.
And I'm really tired,
so maybe low iron.
You've been here a lot.
Last month, there
was the shoulder.
That was the Cobblestone
night, remember?
Oh, yeah, no, no, I
was there for that.
There was a really drunk
man within accordion.
No, that definitely
wasn't her fault.
We've had a dislocated kneecap,
the glass shard in the hand,
two sprained ankles.
There was a slippery stairs,
and the glass in the hand was
I can't even remember.
Customers break glass
and work all the time.
The angles are just clumsy.
I think maybe this time
you should speak to
our psychiatric department.
How would that sound?
Eh
Ridiculous.
Psychiatric Department?
We are advising some
rehabilitation and support for you.
Sorry.
Like, rehab?
Why aren't you listening?
No wonder there's a
hospital trolley crisis
if you're keeping people
in bed for being tired.
Look, doctor, my boyfriend
and I have some
issues,
and the whole thing blew up,
and I was just so upset and immature
and stupid. I'm just stupid.
This has been a massive wake-up
call, and I will never, ever, ever,
ever do coke or drink
straight gin ever again.
Ever.
Rachel, you need support.
You have a very serious problem.
Thank you.
Your one thinks she's in
Grey's Anatomy or something.
The drama.
Shit, Kate's party.
Please don't tell Mum and Dad.
Kate, that's enough.
Did you have a good
party, Monkey? Yes.
The best one yet, and especially
because I got ice cream.
Is the Coast clear?
Earplugs in and music playing.
I can still hear the screeching.
That's what I don't know if
six-year-olds will do, Mum.
Well, thank God, parties
weren't a big thing in your day.
They were for everyone else.
My mates used to think we
were Jehovah's witnesses
because we never
had any parties.
Come off it.
You never wanted for anything.
Sorry, Is that my tracksuit?
Yeah.
It's a bit big, but I just
wanted something cosy.
Big?
My clothes aren't big.
Hey, it's Luke.
Sorry I missed you.
Leave me a message and
I'll get back to you.
Oh, where are you going?
Why are you interrogating me?
Eh maybe because
I'm wildly confused
about this whole situation,
Rachel. Why are we in hospital?
Talking to a doctor
about you needing rehab?
What is going on with you?
That's what I'm saying.
That doctor is giving
mellow melodrama.
No, Rachel, you pretending
like this is normal,
it's actually really
fucking frightening.
Do you know that?
Are you trying to make me
feel like I'm going crazy?
You just say what you
want to see, Anna.
Drug addicts
Fiancés. No, stop.
Don't deflect to
make this about me.
I'm not the only person
who's really concerned.
Luke just rang me there.
There is literally nothing
I can say to convince you
because you all want me to be
in this always. I live with you.
We spend every minute together,
and I'm just hearing about
some of those injuries now.
Like, Rachel, nobody
wants you to be like this.
Just Rachel.
Walshy, what's
the craic? Damien.
What the hell did you
get up to last night?
And what?
Let them off thinking
I'm a dramatic junkie?
Rach, it's class.
Any time I go, I feel like
a million dollars after.
You get to lounge
around all day,
all your meals
are handed to you.
You get to talk about
yourself all day.
It's the dream.
Seriously, call her.
Okay.
Okay.
Fine.
Speaker? Speaker.
Wait.
Hello.
Hey, Anna.
I'm sorry, you're right.
I'm sorry, you're right. I
I think a bit of time away at
rehab might be good for me.
Are you serious? Yeah.
I think a break from my
life and a bit of em
Support.
Support is
No, no, no, no. I can't.
I can't. I can't
go to rehab. No.
Hello? Ahh, Walshy.
For God's sake, everyone's
going to be in awe.
Hello?
You're going to be like a
soldier who's fought in a war.
This is going to give
you a proper status.
Hello?
Rachel?
Is there a spa? Fuck knows.
Hello. I think I've
lost you, Rachel.
No, sorry, you haven't
lost me. I'm here.
Will you please pick me up?
So is this "sister to the
rescue" a two way street, or?
Yeah. Rachel I saved my
arse on loads of occasions.
Why do I find that
hard to believe?
Aiden, you'd do the
same for your brothers.
Yeah, my brothers are a little
different to your sister.
Yeah, well, maybe it's
the start of a new Rachel.
Who knows?
Maybe even have to order
non-alcoholic wine for the wedding.
They're taking their
sweet time, aren't they?
Clearly not pushed about
rehab, but like, what can I do?
I think we should
get some more drinks
because it's not my problem.
Good thinking. Can I please get
two drinks? Two more drinks.
Actually, what did you want
to say to me this morning?
Um
Yeah, I have an issue.
Might affect the wedding. Yeah?
What is it?
Shit, sorry. It's right here.
