The Wives (2024) s01e01 Episode Script

1
Annabelle! Annabelle!
She's not here.
It's OK. OK.
Did you hear them arguing?
Sean, where is she?
Annabelle?
Tom. It's me.
Annabelle's still missing,
and I haven't got a clue
where you are. Call me back.
Charlie's called the police.
Don't worry. We'll find them.
Dad, I'm getting
really scared now.
Anything?
No.
She didn't say anything at all,
Charlie?
I'm trying her again.
PHONE RINGS
# Hey
Now that you lied to my face
# Truth twisted up
In your worn-out cliches
# You can run
But you haven't hidden
# Loving you is forbidden
Crushed by the weight of your lies
# Sweet little lies
Tell me I'm under your spell
# Sweet little lies. #
# Does it make you nervous
That I know all your secrets
# Promise you, honestly, I
I wouldn't use them against you #
Hi!
# Unless I thought it divine
# So I sit at home alone
In your T-shirt
# I'm wondering
Where it went wrong. #
The Morgan wives have arrived.
You just landed?
Yeah.
Do you know what I realised
on the way out here?
That this is our tenth summer
in a row coming here.
Tenth? Yeah, you'd just married Tom,
hadn't you, the first time we came?
Yeah. You're right. Wow. That was
when I could cope with a hangover.
Then I was a fully fledged member
of the family.
Of course,
that's not the case any more.
Divorced from the Morgan clan.
No. You'll always be
part of the clan.
It's a bit like being
in the Mafia.
Yeah. Not sure the mother-in-law
or your husbands would agree.
Are you feeling weird?
Yeah. It's gonna be a bit quiet
without her, isn't it?
Yeah.
Let's make the most of it, though.
Annabelle would not approve
of long faces.
100%. We should just enjoy this
summer like we always have done.
Yeah. Should we meet
in the beach bar, couple of hours?
OK. Yeah. See you then.
Yeah.
OK.
Right. I better go in and pack.
Yeah.
Ooh.
# You're like a devil in disguise
# Some kind of crazy acting wise
# But you took it too far this time
# Oh, baby, you underestimated. #
MAN: Hiya. Did they believe you?
This pretence is
so bloody ridiculous.
I think it's exciting.
Really?
Ah!
SHE LAUGHS
LAUGHTER THROUGH WALL,
SHE SIGHS
Frankie, do you remember
the name of the detective
in Annabelle's case?
Is it something like
Was it Cesar?
Frankie, do you remember
the name of the? Stop.
What? You said
you weren't going to do this.
I'm not doing anything.
You said you were coming back
to reset. Well, I am, I will.
I just thought there might be
some new information.
They'd have told Charlie.
Yeah, but what if they haven't?
You know. What if they've forgotten
or somebody else has taken over
the case, and it's like
And breathe, breathe,
breathe, breathe.
We have had so many good times
here over the years, haven't we?
All of us together.
Mm.
So let's remember the dead, yes.
But let's remember
that we're still alive.
We have each other.
Yeah.
We have to think about Sky.
She lost her mum,
and she still needs to find a way
to get back to being a teenager.
Mm-hm.
Do you want to go for a walk
down on the beach?
I sort of want to get to the court
before it gets too hot.
Yeah, OK.
Look, I'm sorry.
Look, we can talk later.
No. It's fine, it's fine.
I will be perfectly happy
doing some writing
while the rest of them get sorted.
Oh, right. Yeah.
You won't be like that
when I've written a bestseller.
Right. It's just
Yeah, you do need to start it first.
Thank you.
See you later. Yes.
NATASHA AND SEAN
GRUNTING AND MOANING
NATASHA: Yes!
NATASHA MOANS
You're so beautiful.
SHE LAUGHS
I look like Bob Marley,
but with a double chin.
Mm. What can I say?
I always loved The Wailers.
THEY LAUGH
MESSAGE PINGS
Oh.
It's Alice.
She wants to know
when she can call us both.
Now?
SHE CHUCKLES
Our darling daughter can wait.
Drink?
Yeah.
I'm actually going to go and meet
Beth and Sylvie at the beach bar.
OK.
How many more of these boxes
are getting delivered?
New beginnings.
Mm-hm.
I hate lying to them about
how long we've been out here for.
It's got to be done, hmm?
I just wish I could tell them.
This year's been hard enough
for the family.
As soon as we're sorted,
we will explain everything.
It's all under control.
You know what we should do?
No, but you're gonna tell me.
We should learn to cook.
I hate cooking.
I mean, your mum literally
cannot forgive me for that.
It's not even third on the list.
Oi!
Maybe I'll do a paella.
Remember the one Frankie made
last summer?
It was Mum's recipe.
I am betting
the only time that your mother
let you boys into the kitchen
is if it was a competition.
What?
Tom and Charlie still argue now
about who's the tallest.
Tom has literally run away
to Australia to escape that shit.
Healthy sibling rivalry.
It's made us who we are.
Hmm.
WOMEN LAUGHING
You got a boob job.
No, I didn't.
Yes, you did.
I didn't!
Oh, come on,
so why are they so, "Hi"?
Oh, when Tom left, they just decided
to come out to play. What?!
Yeah, my theory is that they've been
in hiding for ten years,
just in case he tried to touch them.
Do you know how he's doing,
the ex-husband?
That sounds strange, doesn't it?
Sean said that
the new new girl's pregnant.
Is that right?
Mm-hm.
I'd have to decapitate Frankie
if he tried that shit.
So outraged, you almost called me.
Yeah, so, we should
It's been a bit, erm
Trust me, she's welcome to him.
A year from now,
he will be lecturing her
about how to stack
the dishwasher correctly.
SHE CHUCKLES
What? Do I look sad to you?
Do they?
THEY LAUGH
To the summer!
BOTH: To the summer.
Now let's have some fun.
I don't know what's better,
day drinking or day shagging?
THEY LAUGH
# Ha ha ha ha ha #
INDISTINCT CHA
# Are you coming to get me?
# Send the big bad wolf to fetch me
# I've been staging a protest. #
You do know that restaurants
are a thing, don't you?
I love cooking.
Do you know, I went off it
when the kids went to uni,
but I'm enjoying this, this is fun.
Everything tastes better with wine.
And Sean has decided that we need
to start to learn to cook.
LAUGHTER
Yeah. That's true.
Here, make yourself useful.
Salad dressing.
There you go.
What?
Seriously?
What? I've got all the talents.
Ask Sean.
You know the main thing
that sells property?
It's the smell of delicious food.
Also, another key factor is having
fresh flowers all around the place.
Bingo.
Yeah. Annabel always had
red roses all over the house.
Do you know,
Charlie bought her a fresh bunch
every week without fail?
God.
I know you couldn't stand him.
He's a dick. Always has been.
Annabelle, we miss you.
We wish you were here,
not least to keep
your twat of a husband in line.
You know, there was a time when
you didn't think that he was a twat.
Quickly came to my senses
when I met his older brother, Tom.
GASPS
Sylvie! Only you. Only you.
Behold
Hey.
..my culinary skills.
LAUGHTER
Oh, yes.
VOICEMAIL:
'You have one voicemail message,
'received 12 months
and 14 days ago.
'Hi, Beth, it's Annabelle.
Fancy meeting me for cocktails?
'Oh, come on. You know you want to!'
SHE LAUGHS
'Please. Please pick up.'
Charlie, Sky!
Hey, Sylv.
PHONE RINGS
SHE SNIFFLES
PHONE RINGS
Hey.
Oh, so you're not dead, then?
'No, that would be Annabelle.'
You need to get your arse
down to the pool.
We're having drinks with Charlie.
Oh. He's arrived. Is he Is he OK?
'Being here must be so hard
without Annabelle.'
He's fine. You and Frankie
should be here, though.
'Yes, yes.'
Coming, coming.
Hello, Sky, Darling.
OK?
You look amazing.
I love the shorts
and the new haircut.
Do you have that done specially?
Not really.
No. You OK?
At last.
Sorry.
How can we even call this a party
if you're not here, Beth?
Sky and I have missed you so much,
haven't we, darling?
Yeah.
I've missed you, too.
Yeah? Look who I found.
Hey, she's alive!
THEY CHEER
Er, no. No, thanks.
I've had more than enough.
Oh, yeah? These bubbles
aren't gonna drink themselves.
Cheers!
Cheers.
Whoa!
SHE LAUGHS
Careful.
Oh, yeah. You all right?
Thank you. Cheers, everyone.
LAUGHTER
Thank you. Lovely.
Oh!
You bitch, Annabelle! I'll kill you!
What the hell?
Jane! Jane, are you OK?
What are you?
I thought she was Annabelle.
I-I I don't
WHISPERS: Sorry.
Jade, this is
my brother's wife, Beth.
Beth, this is Jade.
SHE SIGHS
I am I'm so, so sorry.
OK. Yeah, what were you thinking?
I don't know.
Huh?
It's been
a really difficult year,
you know, with the kids
leaving home and everything.
And obviously
obviously, it's been way worse
for you and Sky.
Poor kid. But I just I felt a bit
I think I can't quite believe
that Annabelle's gone.
And just for a split second there,
I thought you were her.
Just you'd come back
from wherever and
and I just reacted.
"Come back"? Beth.
Annabelle's dead.
How could she come back?
It's fine. Babe, it's fine.
Honestly.
After my dad died,
I thought I saw him everywhere.
Like, in the street,
in the supermarket.
I'd be buying oven chips
and then think, "God, there's Dad."
Yeah.
I never shoved him in the freezer.
AWKWARD LAUGHTER
Oh, yeah. No, no.
And that is why I love you.
So, it was quite an expensive dress,
actually,
I should get that dry cleaned
for you. Should I take that?
It was a present from Charlie,
but I've got a ton of other things.
You got me a new wardrobe,
as we're here for the whole summer.
Didn't you, babe?
I did, didn't I?
THEY KISS
You didn't know she was coming?
No.
What?
Have you seen he's taken down
all the photos of Mum?
He said they'll only make us sad.
He's probably right, love.
Yeah. OK.
Oh, can you see if there's any ice?
Yeah.
You could have fucking told me.
I wanted to see your reaction,
although THAT wasn't on my radar.
Why didn't you tell me
that Charlie was bringing someone?
I mean, I'm assuming that
you've known all along.
Well, I guessed you'd overreact.
Oh, well, that's not fair, is it?
You just threatened to kill her.
LAUGHTER
Stop it!
Did you know?
No.
All right.
Gin and tonic. You only like lemon.
Got to. Be rude not to.
Enjoy the show?
Every second.
Don't tell me you're jealous.
In your wildest dreams, Charlie.
Well, you weren't so sure
a couple of months ago.
I was hammered, and you
were supposedly grief-stricken.
Let's call it a pity shag.
Let's call it
exactly what you wanted.
Babe,
I can't be arsed to dry my hair.
You look gorgeous whatever.
SHE GIGGLES
I think we all need
a lot to drink.
# I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow up
# I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow up
# I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow up
# Makes me wanna throw up
Makes me wanna throw up
# I don't want to grow up
I don't want to grow up #
You know, you could have told us
you were bringing Jade.
I didn't want
all the girls gossiping
before she even got here, Sean.
Well, I wouldn't have said anything.
FRANKIE LAUGHS
Did I say anything about Jade
before?
No, I did not.
Come on.
I I don't really drink.
So how's business? How's business?
How's business?
Such a joke.
You still making money
hand over fist?
Can't complain.
So we can take you everywhere,
like, anywhere you want,
cos we've been coming for years.
How is the riveting world
of containers?
People will always need to
store their crap. That's right.
You're starting to sound
like the old man.
Before or after he lost his marbles?
Oh, no. Definitely after.
THEY CHUCKLE
# Got credit cards #
To the Morgans, everybody!
WHOOPING
# But I can't even clean my room
# Cos don't I wanna grow up
I don't wanna. #
SNORING
Did you eat?
Yes, thank you.
You know, it was Charlie's fault.
Morning!
How are you feeling?
Oh, you know. You don't need
to rub her nose in it, Charlie.
I'm just asking how
my favourite sister-in-law is doing.
Well, my heart is broken
that I don't take that slot.
Why are you staying in
my brother's apartment, by the way?
I think you'll find
I still own half of it, Charlie.
All right, time out, you two.
Come on.
Honestly, my kids behaved better
when they were five.
Jade, again,
I'm really sorry about yesterday.
Thanks for being so big about it.
It's It's fine. Don't worry.
Your husband told us
you were struggling with your HRT.
You know,
yoga's really good for that.
You don't need to suffer.
OK.
Jade's a yoga instructor.
Course she is.
DISTANT CHATTER
Aw, really sweet at that age,
aren't they?
Yeah, when they're not screaming.
Let's have a swim.
It's so nice in the sea, babe.
Feel the waves on your skin.
Yeah, it absolutely is.
I'll race you.
Oh, now you're talking.
Come on.
Come on! Oh, shit.
THEY CHUCKLE
Hey, Charlie!
You know, yoga can really help
with that. You don't need to suffer.
How about you all book a session
with Jade?
She can help you with your hormones.
Nothing wrong
with my hormones, mate.
Beth, I can feel you churning.
Eh.
Go on, spit it out.
All right, look,
I'm not excusing
the John the Baptist routine, yeah,
but look at this.
This is one of Annabelle's
last posts on Insta.
See the red dress?
Jade was wearing it last night.
I'm telling you, she was wearing it.
And then,
you know how every anniversary,
Annabelle used to post
a photo of her at the wedding,
and an explanation of how her
and Charlie met after the ball?
I always thought
it was really sweet,
the way they stayed up all night,
choosing the names of their kids.
I always thought it was bollocks.
No, you didn't.
What, hand in hand?
They looked up into the starlit sky
and came up with Sky (!)
Well, anyway Look at the photo.
I mean
Look, he's literally started dating
his first wife's double,
and the double has started wearing
his dead wife's clothes.
Beth!
And if you would dare to steal
his dead wife's clothes,
what else would you do?
So what what exactly is it
that you're trying to say?
That it's just not normal that Jade
looks so much like Annabelle.
She's 12 and calls Charlie "babe".
Well, maybe you need to find
something else to occupy your mind.
I've got plenty to occupy my mind,
thank you. I've got my book.
Which you've been writing
for three years.
And actually, I'm organising
a memorial for Annabelle.
How is that gonna make you better?
Find something pleasant to focus on!
Look, I'm I'm overrun with work
this summer,
so I could use some help.
Are you offering me a job?
Yeah. Why not?
You'd be great.
You're detail oriented.
You've got a good eye.
You need something to do.
Are you shitting me?
Now that the boys have gone,
you need something
to keep your mind busy.
All right. OK.
What's keeping your mind busy
while Alice is in art school?
Scrolling for taps for the mansion
can't be taking all day.
Er, I'm not the one who fucked up.
Oh, I fucked up, now, did I?
Wow. OK.
You pushed Jade
into a swimming pool.
OK. Enough.
No, no, no. Go on.
Go on. I'm interested to hear
Tasha's view on my state of mind.
Go on. Yeah, no,
I don't think you are, actually.
No, I am. Go on.
No.
I know you've always
looked down on me
for not having
some big, fancy career.
"Oh, Beth, she's just a mum."
What? I'm a mum.
You've made it very clear that
that's not just all you are,
with your businesses and your
live-in servants. Sorry, au pairs.
Oh, right.
So now who's being judgemental?
You know full well that my mum
minded Alice most of the time.
You two need to grow up.
Oh, we need to grow up?
Have you had a look at yourself
recently, Sylvie, since Tom left?
And yes, we all know he left you,
and not the other way around.
But no, still dancing about like
like you're not
in the middle of a divorce,
messaging random strangers for sex.
Actually, it's work.
I'm freelance,
so if I don't work, I don't eat,
which can be quite stressful.
Do you know what?
Enjoy your summer. I'm done.
Are you really hooking up
with blokes
that you don't know for sex?
Yeah.
Fair play.
# Are you coming to get me?
# Send the big bad wolf to fetch me
# I've been staging a protest
# Swapping guns for roses
# Resorted to revelry
# Campaigners for liberty
# Here to render a legacy
# We are the dreamers
And the party queens
# Ooh, ha, ha, ha, ha
Who we are. #
CHURCH BELLS TOLL
# Ha, ha, ha, ha
Who we are
# Led by fascination
# We are the superhuman
# Indestructible
# Wild party animals. #
Luca?
Ciao.
Sylvie?
I hope you're staying.
I think I am.
# I just wanna be myself
For a day #
SHE CHUCKLES
So, what's this?
Bigilla.
Here. You take one of these.
Mm.
Ah-ah!
Oh, no.
What?
You know, in the movies,
girls think this is cute.
I'm sorry to disappoint,
but this isn't a movie.
And I'm not a girl.
Not remotely disappointed.
It's going well.
Give me a chance.
I have been since
the very first day that we met.
SHE CHUCKLES,
HE GRUNTS
You haven't even told me
what's inside these boxes.
That's the beauty of it,
we don't know.
Company packages up
all the return items
and sells them for one fixed price.
Saves them cleaning and sorting,
and what have you.
But why would anyone wanna buy stuff
that's been returned?
Because there's probably
nothing wrong with most of them.
Someone didn't like an item
or didn't fit,
or they changed their mind.
Imagine if this box
is full of watches.
We can sell them
for way more than we paid.
Ooh!
It's very light.
Puffer jackets.
SHE LAUGHS
They go for hundreds each.
It's 30C.
I don't know why we don't just sell
my jewellery.
It's not gonna come to that.
PHONE RINGS
A-ha! Where is it?
No.
Hi.
'Finally!'
Oh, sorry. Sorry.
Your dad's just been being a
'Where is he?'
He's just in the kitchen.
Do you want me to call him?
'He's asked me for some money.'
Well, I don't know
what he's talking about,
so I-I will have a chat with him.
'Mum, you know I'm happy to help.'
No.
Absolutely not. We're We're fine.
'It's just that he borrowed
a grand last time,
'and he hasn't paid it back.'
Ah!
HE GRUNTS
No need to panic.
Injuries are all part and parcel
of parcel working.
That was Alice.
You've borrowed money from her?
Not much.
She's a student.
That money's to get her
through all three years!
Just a short-term loan.
So you're happy to borrow
from your daughter,
but not from your brothers?
Uh-uh. I'm not asking them.
They're loaded!
They wouldn't understand.
Tasha, we have to keep this
between ourselves.
They are family.
What is the point of family if?
All right, I get it.
You don't wanna ask for a loan.
But why not just ask for a job
in the business?
What?
I said years ago
that I would never go
into the family business.
I turned them down straight,
and you encouraged me.
Things have changed.
Surely you can see that.
Tash!
Our house has been repossessed?!
We have been through this.
All our investments are gone.
We've just spent the last year
looking over our shoulders,
not not being able
to answer the door.
We're nearly 2,000 miles away
from all that.
We're 2,000 miles away from my mum,
from Alice,
from everything that I love.
You used to love coming here.
For the summer!
I didn't think I was gonna end up
living here!
You make it sound
like this place is terrible.
Oh, God
It's not that it's terrible.
It's just all that we have got left.
Well, it's not all.
SHE SOBS
And I miss my mum.
I'm actually
I'm actually now avoiding her calls
because.
because I don't wanna pretend
that everything's perfect
when it's not.
Sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
As soon as we are back on our feet,
we will fly your mother over.
I can't
And Alice.
Tash.
Please don't ask Alice
for anything else.
No, Sean, I mean it.
I promise.
Do you know everyone here?
Yes.
SHE CHUCKLES
Tomorrow,
there won't be anyone in Mellieha
who doesn't know I missed
the evening mass
on a date
with a beautiful English woman.
I'll call you a taxi.
Hmm.
I'd ask you back to my flat,
but I don't live alone.
Wife?
No, no.
SHE GASPS
Please tell me you don't still live
with your parents.
I'm 30.
I live with my younger brother.
And trust me, you don't want
to start answering his questions.
THEY CHUCKLE
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
No, but I feel bad now, I
I should have realised how hard
being back here would be
for your poor mum.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Uncle Charlie had to dive in
and save her like some action hero.
HE LAUGHS
Yeah.
Listen, mate, it's absolutely fine.
If you want to go away,
then don't worry about it.
'Will Mum be all right with it?
'I know she loves having us all
out there.'
Honestly, she'll be fine. Really.
I mean, she could do with her space,
to be honest.
I mean, she needs to
start moving on.
Get her head clear, you know?
All right. Bye.
I'm going for a walk.
What?
It's a bit late.
It's not even 11.00.
Well, mosquitoes will be
out in force.
Yeah, well, luckily,
I've got plenty of bug spray.
I forgot before,
shame my head wasn't clearer.
Oh, no.
Look, I was just telling the boys
not to worry about not coming out.
Yeah, for the sake
of their mother's mental health.
No, that's not what I meant.
Although, to be honest,
I am worried about it.
Why?
Because you're so stressed!
I'm thinking that maybe you need to
go back and see the doctor. No.
No, I don't want to see a doctor,
thanks.
And while we're at it,
I don't need a job with Sylvie,
or to start doing yoga or
everybody telling me to calm down.
We just want you to be happier.
So do I. And maybe I would be,
maybe I would
if you guys could all open your eyes
to what's really going on here.
But, oh, no, not this family.
No. We'd rather pretend
everything's fine.
No, nothing to see here.
Everything's perfectly normal (!)
OK.
SHE SCREAMS
SOBS
DESPERATE SOBBING
EXASPERATED LAUGH
JADE: Yes. I'm doing it.
How fast do you think I can move?
Yeah, I'm doing it. Get the money.
I'm sorting it.
Yes. I'll get you the money, Dad.
Of course he trusts me.
For God's sake!
We've been together for two years.
BUBBLING
Ah. OK.
New day, new me.
Yep.
Mmm. Mmm.
Got the dentist on speed dial?
HE SCOFFS
Good walk last night?
Beach empty?
Er
Yeah. Didn't see a single soul.
So, how long has Charlie been
with Jade, then?
Er Dunno.
Couple of months, I think.
Not convinced it's serious.
Right. I'm gonna have a game
with Charlie boy.
See you later.
How much do you pay
for the small boxes? 60 quid.
It's expensive lucky dip, innit?
DOOR BUZZER
Christ, don't let anyone see them.
Hey, can I come in?
Erm
I just came to say that
I'm sorry, I really am.
I was rude about your house,
about work.
It's absolutely fine.
Honestly, it's not fine,
because you are a good person.
Yes, I am, but this is a bad time,
and we're just in the middle
of breakfast. Sorry. Bye.
I thought we'd established
the feeding thing wasn't cute.
Mmm.
SHE GIGGLES
SHE LAUGHS
DOORBELL BUZZES,
SHE GROANS
I came to apologise.
Er, for what?
Well, I said
some unforgivable things, Sylv.
Oh, er, I dunno.
I think looking after children
is work, whoever does it. Yeah.
Why do you think I never had any?
Yeah. Yeah, probably a wise move.
It's like you sacrifice everything,
and then they just
Oh.
None of my business.
You're right.
You have to leave.
You think Mellieha's tight-knit?
You should try this place.
What? I'm serious.
LUCA LAUGHS
There are less people watching
in a high-security prison.
Plus, my sister-in-law needs me.
I'm not sure that she deserves me,
but that's another story.
Family is family,
no matter how stupid they are.
Exactly.
Ouch!
Get up!
At least can I have a coffee?
Lots of sugar.
You've worn me out.
Obviously, I don't want to go home,
but this is something apparently
that you can only do in person,
or something.
You're taking Sky with you, right?
No, no. Leaving her with Jade.
Is that a good idea?
Well, it's an ideal opportunity for
them to spend some time together.
And I'm sure
you'll keep an eye on her for me.
Well, it's just for a day or two.
Yeah. Course.
God, I'll be glad
when all this is over.
Well, come on.
Let's try and take your mind off it,
huh? Yeah.
Let's see if you can score at least
one point off your big brother.
CHARLIE LAUGHS
Yeah, yeah, but I serve.
Oh, I had you down as more of
a green juice kind of girl.
It's just a coffee.
My dad used to swear by
a nip of brandy in it.
Hair of the dog, you know.
Not that I'm saying you need it.
Yeah, no.
It's too early, even for me.
You mentioned that your dad died.
Was that recent?
I was 19.
Oh, that's that's really shit
when you're so young.
Hard on your mum.
She'd taken off years before,
so it's not
I'm sorry.
Doesn't matter.
Making a new life for myself,
aren't I?
Yes, you are. Yeah.
And Charlie is a great guy.
He's He's very generous.
Did he get you that bracelet?
Yeah.
He got me it for my birthday.
Oh!
When When was that?
PHONE PINGS
Sorry.
I'm, er
I'm meeting him after tennis.
We're going to this great spa
in Mellieha.
As it says on Tripadvisor, anyway.
Ah.
You, erm You're not
not taking Sky with you, no?
No. No, she's not my biggest fan.
And that's fine by me.
Hello. I've been having a think.
We need to spend more time with Sky.
KNOCKING
You seem more like yourself.
NATASHA CHUCKLES
Hello!
We're going down the beach bar.
I thought you could join us.
I'm fine, thanks.
Oh, come on.
You're gonna go home
paler than you arrived at this rate.
You know you want to!
Right.
Is everyone having wine?
Oh, no. Water for me.
Oh, I forgot my bloody purse.
It's all right.
What about you, Sky?
Would you prefer a beer?
I'm 15.
What? And you never sneak a drink
at a party?
I don't get invited to any parties.
What? Where'd you go to snog boys?
Surely, that's what everyone does
at 15.
I'm pretty sure
that's just you, Sylvie.
I think the rest of us were
watching telly.
BETH CHUCKLES
I've forgotten my bug spray,
so I'm just gonna nip back.
But it's daytime.
You seen these bites?
Not taking the risk.
Back in a minute.
Hello?
So, how's school?
So, how did your dad meet Jade?
You picked your GCSEs yet?
He says they met through work,
but I reckon he swiped right.
It must be really tough,
having someone come
and take your dad's attention away.
Not really.
At least with Jade around,
he isn't asking me how I feel
every ten seconds.
Oh!
BETH CHUCKLES
They seem to get on well, though,
your dad and Jade? Mm
She's happy
that he gives her loads of stuff,
and he's happy that she gives him
loads of blowjobs.
Sky!
Shit!
DOOR OPENS
CHARLIE: 50 euros for a face scrub?
Is that normal?
Yeah. I'm baking. I need a shower.
Need some company?
JADE GIGGLES
Charlie!
Don't you wanna check
if your daughter's around?
WHISPERS: Sky could be about.
Sky? Darling?
Coast is clear.
JADE GIGGLES
Mmm.
I know.
MOANING
Yeah.
Oh, I love you.
You believe me, don't you?
You promised a lot of things, babe.
And I will make sure
you get every single one of them.
What have you done, Sean?
Put my bikini on under here
in case you lose the plot again.
I'm not comfortable keeping secrets,
Charlie.
Well, we both know that's not true.
NATASHA: Men will do a lot
of bad things for great sex.
I can take it or leave it,
to be honest.
Sounded like you were taking it
yesterday afternoon.
Of course it's weird,
but we're not following
some random guy with a bag of cash
into side streets we don't know.
Dad, what what's this ring?
CHARLIE: We're here today
to remember Annabelle.
I just know
that something doesn't feel right,
and I'm sure as shit gonna find out
what that is.
# Hey
Now that you've lied to my face
# Truth twisted up
In your worn-out cliches
# You can run but you haven't hid
Loving you is forbidden
# Crushed by the weight of your lies
# Sweet little lies
The secrets you tell me
# I'm under your spell
Sweet little lies. #
