Tell Me Everything (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

1
God wants us to ask these
simple questions.
Who am I? What am I?
Am I what those around me think I am?
-Can I get an Amen?
-Amen.
Samuel sixteen verse seven says,
but the Lord sees not as man sees.
Man looks on
the outward appearance
but the Lord looks on the heart.
Hallelujah.
We were formed in
the glory of the Lord.
Hallelujah.
My girlfriend told me her dad
was dead, but he's not.
As lies go, that's pretty huge.
What makes people fake who they are?
Why pretend to be something
you're not?
Or maybe that's always
been my problem too.
I do anything and everything to stop
people seeing the real me.
Whatever that is.
So I applied for a few evenings
and weekends at the gym.
It's mainly like cleaning up and stuff
but it's money and it's good for the CV.
And you can do a PT qualification.
Oh, L-man's gonna get ripped.
Stay off the 'roids though, yeah.
Yeah, I just wanna do something
different. Live in the moment.
You're quiet.
Nah, I'm not. So you're gonna be
a personal trainer?
Sounds pretty cool to me.
Oh, thanks. Yeah, I'm seeing
this as like a whole new me.
Hi.
Hi. You alright?
-Good. You?
-Yeah, mega.
So, are you guys going to Nabz rave,
Saturday night?
Secret venue, they only tell you
where it is just before it starts.
Yeah, sounds good.
More like sounds like
your worst nightmare.
There was a fight at the last one.
Seven police cars, two vans.
We should all go.
What all of us?
Yeah. We're all friends,
aren't we?
Yeah, friends, definitely.
Forever friends. We'll be there.
Excellent. We'll all have a lovely,
friends based time then.
-Right, let's go.
-Cool. See ya.
See you later.
I got the night off,
so I'm going big.
Yay. Did he say seven police cars?
He's exaggerating.
Sorry, guys, just bear with me
the projector's playing up.
Right. Good.
It seems to be working.
So, why do you think Barbara Berrill was
so important to Stephen's narrative?
Neve?
Yes. I mean, the main
point probably is
Is what we've been covering for the past
two lessons, you really should know this.
Well I don't.
Can I speak to you after class,
Neve?
-Is everything alright?
-I guess. Why?
Look, when I was your age,
I started to have new priorities.
Hey, we've all been there,
but you can't allow things like that
to let your studies suffer.
-I didn't know one answer.
-Yeah, one of many lately.
The truth is, the principal wants you
to be the face of our open day.
I think it would be really good for you
but you've gotta help me out here.
You could have a really bright future
ahead, Neve.
It doesn't have to be Harvard
like your sister,
but as she's proven, there's no reason
why someone like you
can't get into a really good university.
-I know there isn't.
-You can do it.
Understood.
Mate, chill. Last year's rave was epic,
you'll have a great time.
Yeah, I can do it. Louis 2.0.
-Is Mei coming?
-I'm not sure.
-Hey.
-Hi, you okay?
Yep. You?
Yeah, I am now.
Do you want to come back to mine?
My mum's out of town and my dad
if you wanna come and hang out.
Oh, I can't,
I've got work later.
-Done.
-What is?
Got myself on that
Nabz Rave group chat.
Louis 2.0 does not fuck about.
What version of me am I on now?
Jonny 7.0?
20% off at.
I'm not sure I remember the original.
Or if I even want to.
-Hi, would you like a
-Yeah, thanks.
No thanks, mate.
No worries. D'you want one?
No. Okay then.
Excuse me, young man, I was wondering
if your store sells cat costumes?
What?
My boyfriend's been avoiding me
and I thought if I show up as a cat
maybe he'd give me some attention.
He's into dressing up.
Oh, I haven't been avoiding you,
I've just been busy and stuff.
-Are we okay?
-Yeah. How are things at home?
-Home?
-Yep, with your family and stuff.
And your dead dad.
It's good. We're good.
Still definitely not dead.
I should let you work.
-Cover for me? I'm going on a break.
-You're not due a break.
Yeah, so cover for me and
then I'll make it up to you.
No, you won't.
You'll come in pissed or hungover
and you'll dick about with your
girlfriend until you're fired.
She's not my girlfriend.
Not being rude but good riddance.
She looked like a total nightmare.
I just wanna watch trash and eat
Cheerios like they're crisps.
Yeah, same. I mean, I've
already had my five a day, so
Hi, sis.
-What are you doing here?
-Well that's a nice welcome.
I don't need a babysitter.
You were gonna have
Cheerios for dinner.
And? Is it everyday stew?
I'm here to remind
you what's important.
-More like boss me around.
-Only if I have to.
-I get enough of that at college.
-You must need it there too.
-Oh, 'cause someone blazed a trail.
-I won't apologise for my success.
-You don't apologise for anything.
-I don't often feel the need.
-I'm calling Mum.
-It was Mum's idea.
What?
Mum and Dad think you're out of
control, they've asked me to come.
What's so important?
Huh, not this intervention
bullshit.
So, soup, was it?
What's going on?
Jonny and Mei.
Shit, no way.
I know, it's awful.
Yeah, well, Timmi's a London babe now,
so she don't dare do her own hair.
-Whatever.
-Wait.
You know what it's like
when you get your nails done.
-Okay. Those are nice nails.
-They're fresh.
-Let me see.
-You see, they're fresh. Look at that.
-Look, I've got some here.
-Okay, babe.
Hey girl.
I forgot my keys.
In my bag.
D'you like the colour?
I think it suits you.
I've never done it be
It's such a pretty like nudey-brown.
It's just professional
but not too much.
Who's Nathan?
I'll call him back.
Vee, help Nif out
with her front, please.
-Yeah, we'll do you next.
-Nah, I'm good.
Is that so? Alright.
The prison braids? Are you sure?
No, we've all been there.
If Funke, she takes out
the first couple of rows
while I finish Mama no Edges here.
Really, I'm not due for a bit.
-You should wear your natural hair.
-I always tell her that.
-That'd be nice.
-You wear your hair natural.
She's a witch 'cause she knows
I have my papa's hair.
I'll just fix up the edges Nif
and find you a nice boy
instead of that oyinbo Jonny.
It's got Timmi worried all the time.
He's my friend.
What have you been saying?
-Nothing.
-You know there's Marcus at the church.
-Ness knows his cousin.
-I do.
I don't need fixing up.
Ooh, she's keeping
her options open. Love it.
-What options?
-Oh, stop that.
Like you, you mean.
-Nah, wait. Wait.
-I think she might
I'm passing the phone to the girl
who wants a tall man but only
dates Ghanaians.
Okay, if we wanna
play this game.
I am passing the phone to the girl who is
laughing so hard but is in debt
and is trying to do up designer babes.
-Haters. All of you.
-Come on.
I'm passing the phone to the girl
whose wigs always look like hats.
-Me?
-Yes, you.
I'm passing the phone back
to the girl
who thinks Nathan's going to leave
his wife someday.
He's married?
It's complicated.
-Why would you say that?
-I'm so sorry.
Shut up.
Do you ever lie?
No.
Never?
I mean, I may not have told
my wife how much our new car cost.
I'm guessing no one's gonna get
too hurt by that?
Who do you think suffers the most?
The person being lied
to for believing them,
or the liar?
I think they might both end
up getting hurt.
Which one are you?
Both.
You could at least try to pretend
you're not smoking drugs.
Smoking drugs.
Yeah, I'm a proper crackhead.
Have you lost a bet?
I'm going for a ride.
D'you think you should be
a bit more active?
Get out in the fresh air.
Maybe, maybe set yourself a challenge,
some goals, you and that girl.
We're finished.
Sorry to hear that.
Still, why don't you get out there,
try some new experiences.
My brother might dress like a dick
but he might also be right.
I mean, how are you ever gonna know
who you are unless you experiment?
I don't know about this.
We're skipping school,
Lou, not murdering someone.
-Yeah, but won't Timmi kill ya?
-Whatever. She's not in charge of me.
If I just went back now,
I could just say I overslept
'cause it's still first period so
Yeah, but it's not
what we agreed, 2.0.
So what's the plan?
I dunno, like go full Ferris Bueller.
Why, have you got anything?
Anything?
Yeah, like stimulants?
Or hallucinogenics?
Oh, yeah, course, 'cause
I always carry those around.
Yeah, well I've got some weed but I do
feel like switching it up a bit so
There's that kid down my road
with ADHD,
chemist has been giving him double
prescription for weeks by mistake,
he's been selling the spares.
Tempting but how about
we text Pineapples instead?
And then what?
What? Where is Louis?
She ain't seen him.
Louis.
Louis.
-What are you doing?
-Look at them all.
All the cheese.
They're all here.
Group, group, group, group.
No, you need to lift your head up.
So, no Mei today?
Nope, no more Mei.
I mean, I thought
you and her were
Yeah, well I got it wrong.
I got her wrong.
-Are you okay about that?
-100%.
D'you need a hand, Sir?
-Another one?
-Sorry.
-Our friend has coordination issues.
-Your friend has off his tits issues.
What do you need, a pain au raisin
or a pain au chocolat?
Isn't it pronounced pan?
I was here making them at five
this morning, they're pain to me.
That's really, really early.
Plus is, I'm nearly
done for the day.
-Okay.
-Louis.
Ask her if she wants to hang out.
D'you wanna hang out,
Sarah, how can I help you today?
Whatever he's on,
have you got any left?
Yeah, course.
Cool, and I'll grab the thing to take
the tag off that bottle you nicked.
I like her.
Car park in five, yeah?
-Park in five.
-Sarah.
Oh, don't stop.
Stop what?
I know you're not
a little kid anymore.
Okay.
Do you have plans
to see him?
-Call him.
-Mum.
If you like him, make sure he knows.
Good looking boy like that will have
a few girls after him.
Maybe, yeah. I don't wait, how
do you know he's good looking?
He came around the other day.
Didn't I tell you?
No, you didn't, so tell me now.
Oh, fuck.
That's a lot.
-I nearly went to college.
-Why didn't you?
Fed up being skint. Don't get paid
a fortune but I do get paid.
Some days are less dull than others.
I really like your hair.
I fancy a swim.
Who's up for a swim?
Me.
-Oh, shit.
-What's wrong?
Well, new me,
decided not to wear pants today.
Oh, babe.
I mean, Louis 2.0 gives
zero fucks about such things.
-True.
-Yeah.
Ah, it's so cold.
Oh my god.
Is it mad that
I can't quite stop staring?
Oh, avert your gaze.
I was a bad friend you know.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
He was going on that date
with Zia and I got him all fired up.
Made him look like a dick
on his own birthday.
-You didn't know.
-Yeah, well, I should have.
You should know what's happening
with the people in your life,
people you care about.
People you love even?
Yeah, the people you love.
Exactly.
You get it, you always do.
Jonny, I
Louis 2.0.
Shit.
Nifemi, you there?
Who else would it be, Dad?
I told him you were in bed.
Okay.
Come close, let me look at you.
Have you been drinking?
My bad, I gave her an
antihistamine before college.
So this is how you behave?
Going out drinking when you should be
studying. Are you crazy?
After everything we have done.
-Dad, let me get her to bed.
-No, I'm not a child.
No, you're just
a pissed teenager.
Yeah, 'cause Timmi's never done
a bad thing in her life. Ever.
Follow her example, Nifemi.
You'll get a life what you deserve.
Maybe a nice
boyfriend like Nathan.
What are you talking about?
Nathan isn't her boyfriend.
No, he's my boss that's why we talk
on the phone so much. Easy mistake.
I think, I think the wi-fi's playing up.
Dad, can you hear Dad?
What the fuck?
I knew he was married
but I never knew he was your boss.
This just keeps getting better
and better.
You don't know anything
about my life.
Every day people tell me how
perfect you are.
I hear it all the time.
If Mum and Dad knew
about Nathan and me,
they'd be devastated just so you get
to feel better
about yourself for five minutes.
This will last much
longer than five minutes.
-I'm going to bed.
-Because you know I'm right.
No, it's because I don't want to listen
to anything you've got to say.
Look at yourself, Nifemi,
is this who you want to be?
Just make sure you stay alive 'til Mum
and Dad get back.
Other than that,
I don't really give a fuck.
Hey, you.
-Where am I?
-My flat. Don't you remember?
No.
What do you remember?
The lake.
God. Okay. I'll tell you three facts
from last night
and you tell me which one's
false, yeah?
Okay.
Okay, so number one, you tried
to bring a swan onto the bus.
Number two, we had wild, wild sex.
Number three, you spent an hour telling
the old lady next door
why Moana is the greatest film
of all time.
I'm gonna need an answer.
Well, I do like Moana.
Yeah.
And there is a big white
feather on the floor there.
So there is.
So, does that mean
the second one's false?
Correct. Nothing happened.
I mean, I woke up with you like a can
of monster against my bum.
And I was like, hello,
but then I realised you were asleep.
Sorry.
No biggie.
Maybe it'll work out tonight.
See ya.
Tonight. Shit.
This has to be some sort of joke.
Over the railing, turn right at
the train track. No, it's no joke.
Oh, this this can't be right.
This is where the pin is.
Hey, Mei.
-This is not what I signed up for.
-Me neither.
Do you think there's gonna
be toilets in there?
We won't know if we can't
even find the way in.
Over there. Come with me.
Nice. Well done, Mei.
-Do you think this place is safe?
-Stop worrying.
Okay.
Fucking wow!
I think I'm gonna go get a drink.
Well, why don't we just
stick together for a bit?
Okay.
Hey. You made it.
Absolutely. Definitely.
-Are you on your own?
-Well
Or is Jonny already
off his face somewhere?
Yeah, yeah, he's about.
Queue was mental so
I got shots as well, babe.
Babe?
Did say I was never drinking,
not ever again.
Oh, I thought you were joking.
Are these your mates?
Yeah.
Fuck me.
Sorry?
Right, we're gonna go
and dance
-Shall we get you a drink?
-Yes, please.
-Can we get
-Shots. Three shots.
-Three Tequilas?
-Tequila, yeah.
You're a really good dancer.
Who was that girl?
She's gorgeous.
-Yeah, we're just friends.
-Bullshit. The way you look at her
You didn't even wanna look at me
like that when I was naked.
-You alright?
-Nah, I feel ill.
You did sleep for
like sixteen hours.
Listen, can I be honest? That person you
met yesterday, that isn't actually me.
Bit weird. We are
talking about you, right?
Yeah. I need to go home.
I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to mess
you about. I can stay if you want.
No, fine. The barman
was being really flirty so
Lou. Lou.
Hi and bye.
What? Stop.
Where you going?
I've got some treats.
2.0, that's over.
I need my bed.
Well don't go yet.
Dance with me.
Yeah. Fuck, yeah.
Can we get three more
Tequila shots?
You okay?
Yeah. Yeah, you kidding?
I'm so glad we came.
-You needed a good night.
-Thanks for letting me tag along.
Oh, it's alright.
Sorry to hear
about you and Jonny.
What?
-Is this a joke?
-What?
-So we're not together?
-What?
Mei.
Mei, wait.
You're a fucking coward.
If you're pissed off at me, call,
talk to me, don't avoid me.
-You lied.
-I know. I'm sorry.
See, that's a person admitting
to a mistake and apologising for it.
You should try it some time.
Mei, that lie, it that lie was
like the worst thing you could've said.
You wouldn't like say that
and then just expect
Lying about a dead dad isn't
the worst thing.
Fuck, having a dead dad
isn't the worst thing.
-What?
-At least your dad loved you.
Try having a dad who doesn't want you,
who pretends you don't exist.
See how that feels you
big fucking baby.
-Mei.
-It's over, Jonny.
Coward.
So that's who I am.
Or maybe somehow I've known all along,
maybe just never been brave
enough to admit it.
You look upset.
Nah, I'm good.
I thought you and
Mei were finished.
Yeah. Ah, well, we are now.
Definitely.
Police.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Right, let's move you out.
Come on. Time to clear up. Let's go.
Break it up, please.
There's a story in front of you.
Fuck.
I think we're alright.
Yeah. We're alright.
Jonny, what the fuck?
Sorry. Sorry, I got
a bit carried away.
I think you've had enough.
I've had enough.
What? What's wrong?
What you doing out here?
Just out for a walk.
Strange spot for a walk.
Yeah, but it's so beautiful,
innit, officer.
The bright lights
of Welwyn Garden fucking city.
Easy JJ.
I think maybe it's
time you both headed home.
Yeah, we will. Thanks.
Why?
Why can't we enjoy the unspoilt beauty
of our nice little toy town?
-Shut up.
-Okay, mate, I'm gonna ask you again.
Mate?
He doesn't mean that.
He's not feeling great.
Get your fucking hands
off me you wanker.
Calm down. Both of you
empty your pockets.
I said empty your pockets.
-You been dealing in there?
-They're not, they're not mine.
Right. It's my duty to warn you,
you do not have to say anything
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
that you later rely on
Is Nifemi still in there?
Neve, I mean.
Yeah, I think so.
But they let you leave?
Yeah.
-I can wait if you want.
-I think I've got this.
Yeah.
Please, don't tell Mum and Dad.
That you got a caution?
Depends on your answer
to the following.
Was it Jonny's?
And it was him who talked
back to the police officer?
But it was your entire future
that nearly got fucked.
I'm sick of hearing about
my fucking future.
So I get into a good uni, get a good job,
people will be like,
well they've gotta open a few doors
for the black girls these days.
Is that what you really think?
Every door we go through is
because we kicked it down.
People who look like Jonny can get away
with shit like that, but we can't.
This is, this is so fucked up.
I was so scared in there.
Okay. Okay, listen to me
a second, yeah.
I'm not kidding myself about Nathan,
it is what it is.
I'm looking out for me.
You've gotta do the same with Jonny.
I know.
You're right.
I will.
You've gotta live your life,
be who you really are.
Got it?
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Not in my car.
Zia.
There was this new bloke
around town last week apparently.
-What?
-Looked a bit like me. Did you see him?
He swims in lakes, hangs out
with randoms, does drugs,
drinks, goes to raves, I think.
And he's still got a bit
of a headache.
You cannot still be hungover.
Well I am. Or it's diabetes,
according to Google.
This new bloke, is he trying
to be a better version of you?
-2.0.
-What have I told you about that?
-Yeah, I should've listened.
-Yeah, you should've done you dick.
You know, when your friends tell you
something important, you listen.
Zia, I don't wanna be friends.
Can we just be mates instead?
Sure. Guessing you're not going
to the next Nabz event.
Apparently, it's in a nuclear bunker.
Apocalypse theme.
Yeah, definitely not.
Come on.
Oh, Neve.
I wasn't expecting to see you.
She's a key part
of his growing up.
Who?
Barbara Berrill. She helps Stephen
see the world for what it is.
-I re-did my essay, it's in your inbox.
-I knew you'd come through.
Oh, have you had a chance to work on
your speech for open day?
It'd be great to have your smiling face
front and centre.
No. I don't wanna be your poster girl,
but thanks for the offer.
No sleep last night. How can
you sleep after a night like that?
After a fuck up like that.
Bit early for me.
Bit early for most people.
I heard about what happened with
the police. How were your family?
Well, my brother told me to
try new experiences, so I did.
I'm sorry about Mei.
You really liked her, didn't you?
It doesn't matter
'cause it's over now.
I'll be alright.
Neve.
Are you okay?
Am I okay?
I got a police caution
-No, I mean
-Because of you.
-Neve.
-I don't wanna hear it.
I've gotta go. I've got
an appointment I need to keep.
Neve, I'm really sorry.
I'll never forgive myself.
I'll always like have this
on my conscience.
And I'll always have
this on my record.
So, what you thinking?
Braids again, right?
Do you want it longer?
Thicker? That could be cute.
Nah, I know what I want.
Okay.
-You like it?
-I love it.
I just wanted a change, something
that says, this is me. Who I really am.
Ready?
Dodgy wi-fi in five.
Sorry, Mum and Dad,
you're buffering again.
Hi, Dad.
Nifemi, look at your hair.
So this is the real me.
The coward
who lets down his friends,
and ruins people's lives.
A pissed stoner in the supermarket
who's never ever felt right.
Who could only ever tell the truth
to one person.
Dad?
So can now only talk to himself.
I thought I'd been doing everything
to stop people seeing the real me,
but it turns out it's to stop me seeing
the real me
because now I know who I really am,
I fucking hate myself.
