Tell Me Everything (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

1
It's not forever.
Night, Night.
-Are you ever going to tell me?
-Tell you what?
Do you think I'm stupid?
What's happened with dad?
Why are we here?
Just answer me.
Okay.
It's my dad.
Okay. Do you want
to tell me about him?
He's dead.
Hi.
-You were at the fun fair.
-You crazy too?
No, my dad died.
Snap.
Don't jump.
Did I just save your life?
Mum told me the truth.
You're not my dad
and you never were.
I love not being able to sleep.
I love having the chance to go over
everything I've ever said or done
and wish I hadn't.
I'm so tired
but then I was tired when I stayed
in bed all day and night for weeks
so I guess it makes no difference
if I'm asleep or awake.
Awake and thinking about stuff.
Welwyn Garden City is always perfect
if you can't sleep
'cause it feels like a dream
even when you're awake.
Not one of those dreams you're genuinely
pissed off to wake up from.
I mean the ones where the bus
doesn't turn up
and streets end where they started.
The shit dreams.
Everyone's a bit depressed in Welwyn
and if they're not,
they haven't been paying attention.
Do you want any help unpacking?
My stuff or this whole
fucking nightmare?
I'll get Alix.
Can't face him?
Hey, love.
How are you?
-You'll always be a daughter to me.
-You lied to me, both of you.
You let me think for my whole life
I didn't know about Lim.
Not always.
Lim?
-Is Alix ready?
-What? Tell me. She won't.
-It's Lim Wei.
-Daddy!
Hey. I'll bring her back Sunday
evening. You ready for school?
Yeah.
-Jonny.
-What?
Louis' telling us a really
interesting story.
-Rude.
-You okay?
Have you been sleeping since
Yeah. No, I feel great.
Sorry, go on, Lou.
It's not really a story. Gareth
Mate, please.
Call him dad. It's so weird.
Gareth is going away this weekend.
Some old person's festival
like Trance or
No you can't stay at mine
because you don't like being at your
massive house by yourself.
Actually Gareth said why
don't I have some people over.
Thinks I'm socially awkward.
Am I, socially awkward?
-Jonny.
-Fun fair photograph girl.
Hi.
Hi.
Mei, this is Neve and this is Louis
who is not socially awkward.
You new in WGC?
Oh no, I'm from here, just moved
around a lot and went away for school.
So Louis' party.
-It's not a party.
-You've not given us much time.
-For what?
-Party pills, Lou.
You know it is possible to have
a night out without being dosed?
It may be possible
but it's not desirable.
I'll message Pineapples.
We're gonna have a party,
we're gonna have a party.
It's not a party.
Oh okay, okay.
It's most definitely a party.
I'll catch you later.
Yeah, see you.
Do you want me to sort
us out or not, idiot?
Neve, okay if I get a picture
it's for a college Tweet? Oh and Mei?
What about me?
Why aren't I in the picture?
I can't believe they made us take
that picture.
It's like look Parkway College
we're so diverse. I mean
I think it's pretty obvious why
they chose you. You look amazing.
-So Louis' party.
-It really isn't a party.
Party at Louis' this weekend.
Open house.
-FFS Neve.
-What?
What, you can invite Zia.
Impress her with your big pool.
Yeah. Yeah, that's a great idea.
Oh look there she is.
Oh she's coming, she's coming.
Oh she's going,
she's going, she's gone.
Zia. Hi.
-What you doing tonight?
-Why?
I've got a free house.
-I'm out tonight.
-Tomorrow. Tomorrow night.
Always getting them mixed up.
-Nothing.
-Great.
Would you like to come around?
It's a party.
-So how do you two know each other?
-Counselling.
Just from around town.
And mainly counselling, yeah.
-You do counselling together?
-No.
Yeah, I think one person's already
a stretch for Mr Horrocks.
-Media Studies Horrocks?
-Yeah.
He's nice but you wouldn't want him
to try and talk you down off a ledge.
No.
Don't jump, let's analyse the end
of Donnie Darko.
Shit!
My phone. Where is it?
Must have left it in English.
Hey I'll come with you.
That wasn't funny. They don't know that
I'm not okay. I don't want them to know.
I don't usually have a reason
for not being able to sleep.
But for once it's not my own stupid brain
that wants to screw up my life.
I have spent so long convincing
everyone I'm okay.
What happens now someone
knows I'm not?
Mum's like,
"Where does all your money go?"
and dad's like, "It can't be
clothes look at how she dresses."
I can't get a new one until my contract's
up which is in like a fucking decade.
I mean it's only a phone.
Only a phone, Jonny.
Should I get rid of something
you need and say,
"Oh, it's only a kidney,
or it's only oxygen?"
Does Pineapples live here?
Have a guess. He doesn't like
people coming to the house.
Oh I'm sorry. It's just we arranged to
meet but my phone's lost so I wasn't
-Do you know where he is?
-Oh what am I his mum?
No. Are you?
No. Look I don't know
where he is.
-Right. Could I get his email?
-Yeah, yeah, alright yeah.
Oh good okay.
Ready?
It's drugs-direct@
WelwynGardenCitydealer, all one word.
Dot com.
I'm sorry to have troubled you,
Miss Pineapples?
Well she seemed nice.
Excuse me.
Sorry, do I know you?
I don't know. Do you?
Sorry no, I thought you were
someone else. Bye.
Well come on then where's
the party? Alright.
Hey out the way!
Lou, Lou.
Oh what do you think?
I'm a bit worried it might look a bit
shit when Zia gets here?
Nah it looks great, Lou.
Some people have actually turned up.
Think I should you know
talk to them? Like a host?
No. Don't want to ruin whatever
cred this is gonna give yah.
Hey open house right?
-Hey, Mei.
-Yes, not just me with these idiots.
Hi.
So, what was private school like?
It was just school but a really old
building and without any boys.
And did you have like Gryffindor
and shit like that?
Sort of.
Insane. So why didn't you stay
there for A-Levels?
My dad died.
Oh shit. I'm really sorry.
Wait. You know that Jonny's
dad's dead too?
Oh for fuck sake Neve,
you shouldn't swim in loose clothing.
Hi.
Oh hi.
-Are we like really early?
-No, you're not.
Do you want me to go?
No. No, why would I?
So, do you have a lot of parties?
Yeah I do. I don't invite many people.
Keep it quite VIP.
Regan, has Jonny tried
to get off with you yet?
No and I've been here ages.
How you doing?
Yeah, good. Haven't lost a parent
for like a week now so
Is anyone going
anywhere after here?
Don't think so.
We should play a game.
Truth or Dare?
What are we, 12?
I Love Truth or Dare.
-Truth or Dare.
-Truth.
How many guys
have you slept with?
One. Oh two.
One and a half.
It didn't quite go in.
Louis, Louis, Louis come on.
-Alright a dare. A dare.
-Dare you to kiss someone.
I mean you suggested it.
Jonny's turn. Jonny, Jonny.
-Dare.
-Come on, I've had enough dares.
You could have taken
that off ages ago.
Why don't we all do a truth?
Like what's your biggest secret?
Okay, me sometimes
when I'm doing stuff in the mirror
I tap it to try and add a filter.
-Amazing.
-Neve?
Yeah, I've got nothing.
You must have something.
A secret crush?
No. Nothing like that.
I've seen Louis's dick years ago
at the lake.
Oh wait when that thing stung it?
Yeah that actually really hurt actually.
Jonny.
-I don't know.
-I know what his biggest secret is.
What is it?
Should I tell them?
If you want.
-But I haven't told you mine yet.
-Yes, come on.
I drove here.
What?
You are shitting me.
In Canada everyone drives without a
licence. Taught myself thanks YouTube.
-We could go literally anywhere.
-A club?
West One. Yes.
I bet we could score there.
-Yeah or we could just stay here?
-Yeah, I mean we are at a party.
I mean the party will always be here
when we get back.
-Do you think I should try drugs?
-Do you want to?
-No.
-Well then don't.
Success.
Mate, do you want some?
I don't need it.
Oh no, I don't either it's just
you know gives you a little
You can trust me, you know that?
Yeah, can I?
Louis. You don't drink?
No, sorry. I'm a bit boring.
No pissed boys breathing too hard on
your neck telling you
the same thing they told
you ten minutes ago, is boring.
You're not.
Thanks for inviting me to your party.
It was a bit shit. I only really had
it 'cause I hoped you might come.
There he is.
Piss off, mate.
-Did you say something to me, mate?
-Yeah, get the fuck away from my friend.
Get off him.
This artery right here goes
from the heart to the brain.
When it starts bleeding it's really,
really hard to stop.
Mei, Mei, stop it!
You're a fucking psycho.
What was that?
Fuck, I'm getting an Uber,
are you coming?
-For fuck
-You have to dance, it's the law.
Oh no, not the fun police.
Scream if you wanna go darker.
Mei, we've all had
a good night.
We don't like this,
we don't like this. Jonny.
Slow the fuck down.
Please we're gonna
Fuel filter. Happens a lot
with these older models.
I flushed it that will get you home now
but I'd book it in for a proper service.
Thanks, I will.
-Whose car is it?
-Mine.
We share everything.
Drive safely.
All back to Louis', all back to Louis'.
All back to Louis'.
Oh come on, Neve,
get out the car please.
Are you coming in or
Do you want me to?
Shit, Jonny. Jonny.
Fucking hell.
There are times you can't sleep
because your dad died.
There are times you can't sleep
because you're having a panic attack
and there are times you can't sleep
'cause well fuck knows why.
But this is one of those times you
can't sleep because you are buzzing.
-Oh what are you going to do?
-About what?
About this.
Nothing 'cause I've been thinking.
A, Gareth thinks I don't know
how to have fun. Excuse me.
And B, I had the best fucking night
of my whole entire life, ever.
-I got with Zia.
-What?
I mean it probably would have been
the best night of my life
if Mei hadn't tried to kill that bloke.
-What?
-Well she saved me.
Can someone please explain
to me what happened?
Louis' tripping and he also thinks
something happened with Zia so
Why what happened with Zia?
Well what's first base?
-Fingering.
-Consent.
Well, me and Zia kissed.
Bit of tongues, bit of teeth collision.
The worst.
And I'm pretty sure at one
point she was stroking my
my ear, my ears.
And she didn't just like
fall on you in a dream?
Is it really that hard
to believe that Zia likes me?
Oh I can't even check
my phone for drunk DM's.
Hey you've checked phone
finder, haven't you?
Please tell me you have?
What the hell?
Louis, why's it coming
from your room?
Louis, you dick.
I don't know
how that got there.
Oh shit! Shit!
It wasn't me.
Wait, Pineapples. Mate.
Let's talk out here.
It's a nice gaff. It's interesting seeing
where other people live, innit?
Are you alright talking
to a fucking loser piece of shit?
What?
You're doing too much if you
can't remember what you called me.
Your message.
This, I didn't say this,
this wasn't me.
Do you ever go down to Cornwall?
I love Cornwall.
You ever been to the Eden Project?
-I've seen pictures.
-Oh you've got to go.
See they've brought like all these plants
and trees and stuff from everywhere
on the planet and like everything's
working together.
That little bit of moss giving off them
nutrients that feed
into that bushes leaves that
become part of that trees whatever.
It's clever.
And what is totally bat shit is if that
little bit of moss stops doing its thing
paying what it owes well
then the rest goes to shit.
-Am I the moss?
-Yeah. Yeah you are.
So yeah do check out the Eden Project
sometime if you can
and get my money.
Do you know how much trouble you
could have been in last night?
How much trouble
I could have been in?
There's a problem with the fuel filter.
You might wanna get it checked.
Mei, stop this. I don't know
who you are anymore.
Neither do I, thanks to you.
I'm trying so hard to make
this work, Mei.
Never thought I'd be starting again
from nothing at my age.
Do you wanna talk about Lim now?
-How do you know his name?
-Lucky guess. Where does he live?
-I don't know.
-Country? Continent?
China. His family moved back
years ago.
Wrong answer. Lim Wei still lives
in Welwyn Garden City.
Shen told me his name.
Google told me the rest.
-Have you met him?
-I'm about to.
-Don't.
-No.
You don't get to tell
me what to do anymore.
Who is it?
I need to find out
who lives here.
I can see yah.
We've had enough
of your lot around here.
All the graffiti the mess.
What are you on about? I'm a grade A
student. I'm on a college Tweet.
Piss off.
Hi. You might remember
we bumped into each other?
-This is gonna sound weird but
-Look I know who you are.
You do?
You look just like your mum.
-You knew about me?
-Yeah, of course.
I mean I didn't know
much about you or Jing's life.
Hi. This is so weird I thought
I'd know what to say.
I can't talk now.
That's okay. I should have tried
to contact you before coming.
I have a family.
I saw. Facebook. I have two
brothers, did I get that right?
I can't do this.
Please don't come here.
Don't message me,
don't contact my family.
Don't go searching through
my life online. Just stay away.
So just when you think you know
how your head works or doesn't work,
it goes and does something totally random
like sleeping for a whole night.
Mum, can I ask you
There's this girl at college.
She lost her dad pretty
recently I think
but yeah I mean she's seeing the college
counsellor too and well I was wondering
if I might invite her around sometime?
You know if that's okay?
Yeah, she sounds nice.
Yeah, no. Yeah she is.
That's brilliant, love.
Yes, do. Anytime.
Are you okay, mum?
Yeah, gotta be. Gotta keep this
place going, keep us all going.
Alright? Seen Mei?
-What's up?
-I'm telling you it was her.
Louis' party I was talking
about Pineapples.
She was there when my phone went
missing, she's the link, Jonny.
The wiggly line between the dots.
You follow them you get her.
Holding a broken bottle
to some guys' neck.
Oh that's just coincidence.
-Hi, Zia.
-Hi.
See? Do you believe me now?
Hi.
Did you take my phone?
Just a yes or no.
-No.
-Ah she's going to say that.
Do you think I did? Jonny?
-I don't know.
-You're lying.
I'm not. You found it then?
You know I did because
you put it in Louis' bag.
I'm sorry you think it was me.
Oh shit. I was nice to you
and now you're screwing with me.
Sending messages saying things that I
haven't said. How are you doing this?
Just standing there like
some lying fucking liar.
Please, don't.
Please, please, please,
don't do a Neve.
Decide you hate someone
and then be a dick to them.
You were wrong and I like her.
Please?
Okay.
Okay.
Mei?
Are you okay?
Did you see him?
The reason I didn't tell you
and the reason I didn't stay with him,
it wasn't what he wanted.
He didn't say it, I just knew.
That's why I lied.
You're wrong.
You're so, so, wrong again.
He never forgot about me and he
never stopped thinking about me.
He said he hoped I'd find him one
day and I have.
I'm sorry about Neve.
I'm a bit of a mess.
A lot of a mess.
See I didn't really sleep
until I met you.
You saying I'm boring?
Yeah, really boring.
I can't sleep either.
Sleep's great if you're dead.
If you're not if you're trying to do your
best impression of living,
of being a fully functioning human being,
sleep is just a waste of precious time.
