The Dry (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

[LIVELY MUSIC]
[EXHALES]
Oh, for fuck's sake.
So, who wants to start?
Are you in charge?
No one's in charge. I'm
chairing the meeting.
Where's the stick?
What stick?
Don't you hold a stick
and whoever has it talks?
No. They do it on TV.
Well, we're not doing that.
How do we know when to speak?
You just speak.
Why don't you just tell us
what's on your mind love, hmm?
That's not the point.
This isn't about me.
That's a first.
I know you all
think it's a bit
Narcissistic?
Uncomfortable.
And to be honest,
it's supposed to be.
Telling the truth
is uncomfortable.
But it can also be very healing.
There are things going
on in this family
that need to be confronted.
What things?
That's not for me
to say. Come on.
No!
No, this isn't about
pointing the finger
or calling each other out.
If someone feels there's
something they haven't
been up front about,
it's up to them to say it.
This is a safe space.
It's the living room?
We'll be compassionate.
Siobhan, I don't understand.
Why don't we just see
what comes up, okay?
So, who would like to go first?
You go first.
Okay. Okay
Okay.
Okay, Mum
Oh, god. Do you
remember the time.
Dad crashed the
car on the motorway
and we had to get it towed?
Yeah. It wasn't Dad.
It was me. [GASPS]
I took your car when
you were at work.
I was I was drunk. Oh my God!
I was driving. I
[BERNIE: ]Oh, Jesus.
I lost control, hit a lamp-post.
Dad got to me before the
guards. He told them it was him.
[BERNIE: GASPS] Tom!
Jesus! That's a crime.
Yeah, it was years ago.
But it's a crime if
there's CCTV footage.
There was no CCTV footage.
Are you serious?
I'm really sorry, Mum.
Okay, so I've said my bit
You had three cracked
ribs around that time.
Is that how you?
Oh my god!
Come on Bernie, she's grand!
Look at her, she's grand!
She could have died!
I'm sorry, Mum.
I'm sorry, Mum, but
can I borrow some cash?
What? Oh, you cannot talk!
You live here for free.
Ah, I don't live here.
Dad built you a studio.
It's a glorified shed.
Do you pay rent?
Okay. So, I've said my bit
Why should I rent
pay for a shed?
Why should I pay rent
to live in Rathfarnham?
Nothing wrong with Rathfarnham.
Guys, come on! You
are such a snob.
And you're a disgusting
little rodent
out there in your sweat-box.
Can we just get back to
How could you have
been so irresponsible?
Have we not been through enough?
This is not why we're here.
Mum, Dad, while
we're being honest.
You know those guys that
come out of Ant's shed
who you so daintily refer
to as his 'friends'?
They're not his friends.
They're his fuck boys. Okay!
At least I'm getting some.
Rory's probably fucking
his Fitbit. [LAUGHS]
Dad's having an affair!
With Mina, his acupuncturist.
She also does reflexology.
I know, love.
Everyone knows.
Everyone knows what?
Your father and I
have an arrangement
Okay, you know what?
I'm gonna head.
This isn't a conversation
I need to have twice.
Me neither.
Great meeting, Shiv. Triumph.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I don't understand.
We've been married a long time.
We're realistic.
If your father wants to
see other people, he can.
If I want to see
other people, I can.
It's actually very French.
So, you're seeing
other people too?
Well no.
But it's nice to
have the option.
Uh
Anyway, it's not
serious with Mina,
is it, Tom?
No, no.
No. She's more of a companion.
She didn't look like a
companion yesterday when
they were riding the
arse off each other.
We bumped into
each other in town.
Anyway, that's your
father's business.
The point is, it works.
We're very happy.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Why didn't you tell me?
We thought you knew.
Why do you think you're
in granny's room?
Because of dad's back.
Oh, what, they made
that up just for me?
Look, we're all adults here.
Yes, Dad's boning Mina.
[SPITTING]
And yes, that's unpalatable,
and unsavoury and quite frankly,
just unbelievably gross.
But the fact is,
they're okay with it,
and it's their marriage.
What people do in
their relationships
is their own business.
So can we all just
grow the fuck up?
[LAUGHTER]
[DOOR OPENS]
When was the last
time you saw Pam?
Pam?
Across the road?
No idea.
She was going to Mallorca,
but that was ages ago.
She's not answering my texts,
can't get her on the phone.
Maybe she stayed on for a bit.
Maybe.
[CAR BOOT CLOSES]
Tom? I thought it wasn't
serious with Mina.
It isn't.
Well, you know what we agreed.
Keep it casual,
keep it discreet.
Anybody could've
seen you in town.
I know. I'm sorry.
If you keep seeing her, she's
going to expect something.
Don't want her
getting her hopes up.
I'll finish it.
I think that's a good idea.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[TRAIN GLIDES BY]
Shiv? I'm Kristen.
Wow.
Sorry, I've never
seen a pregnant woman
ride a motorbike before.
No. Neither have I.
So this is our little space.
Our focus is contemporary
European art,
but we do also sell
very select pieces
of Danish furniture.
[DOOR OPENS]
It's an independent business,
so I do everything myself.
But I am going to
need some help.
[LAUGHS]
I'm really grateful
for the opportunity.
You can throw anything
at me. Oh, I will.
And err I do like your style.
Thanks.
But for the clientele
we deal with,
it's simpler just to wear black.
Oh, okay.
And maybe something more
understated for the jewellery.
Delicate hoops or little studs.
We don't want to distract
from the artwork!
Let me show you the office.
[ANT CHATTERING ON PHONE]
Sorry, guys. My colleague's
held up at another
err, viewing. Excuse me.
[JANGLES KEYS] Umm
It's worth the wait, promise.
[SHIV: ]How did
you get into this?
I studied fine art in Germany.
You're an artist? Oh, no.
[LAUGHS] Definitely not.
All that self-torture,
who has time?
Jack says you're very talented.
Did he? That's
That's nice of him.
Jack isn't nice about people,
especially other artists.
He's pretty good himself.
Oh, Jack's a genius.
You've worked with him?
I used to work with him.
Now I just fuck him.
You what? It is so much easier
sleeping with an
artist than being one.
Sorry. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I umm I just I
I didn't know that you and,
and so the baby's
his, it's Jack's baby.
Hasn't he told you anything?
I thought you two were mates?
Ah
We were close in college.
You'll join us for
dinner tonight?
Dinner, with you and umm?
He's coming in
before the opening.
We'll get a takeaway,
eat it here.
You know, I think
I'll just finish this.
[KRISTEN:] Oh, you must.
Otherwise you will be hungry.
This is the kitchen, obviously.
Patio, garden
Nice for barbies.
Can I check it out?
Go for it, yeah.
Barbies?
Bedrooms are just through
here. Both en suite.
So this is what
you're doing now?
I just started.
It's a shame.
At least waitering
was an honest living.
Speaking of honesty,
I didn't know you
were with somebody.
You didn't ask.
It must be serious if you're
buying a place like this.
Ah, yeah.
We love each other
very much, yeah.
I like it. Do you like it?
Yeah.
I think we could
be very happy here.
[PETER: ]So, do you want
to make an offer, or?
Yeah, let's do it.
[PETER: ]Okay. I'm calling Dad.
See if he'll come down here.
Keeping it in the family?
Are you jealous?
[TRAIN RUSHES PAST]
So, what drew you to Ireland?
[KRISTEN:] Jack.
I also own a gallery in Berlin.
I was a fan of his work
long before I saw him naked.
But he was such
a mess back then.
He was living in a van.
It wasn't a van. It
was a camper van.
You remember.
He would drive all
over the country,
wherever he felt like.
No home, no base.
Which was amazing.
At first I thought it was sexy,
this wild and free Irish man,
but then it was just disgusting
because the van,
it really smelled.
[LAUGHS] It didn't!
And it's not cool
for a grown man
to be living in a car and
wearing a leather jacket.
Oh, you have food on your face.
Thank you.
[KRISTEN: ]So we sold the van.
I introduced his work
to the European market
and the rest is history.
[PHONE RINGS]
Karen.
What's the big emergency?
Ouch!
No big emergency,
really, I just
I don't know how to get through
the next few hours without drink.
That's all. What?
Where are you?
[SHIV: ]At my new
job at the gallery.
Turns out to be owned by
my ex's new girlfriend,
which I didn't know, who
turns out to be eight
months pregnant,
which I didn't know and
I thought he might
have still liked me.
Now I have to spend
the next few hours
handing out wine and
cheese and beer
I'll be straight down.
[LIFT DOOR CHIMES]
Yeah. Just calling to say don't
worry about me for dinner.
I'll be late back.
Just a birthday drinks thing
with some girls from work.
I do like them.
Err, what are you doing tonight?
Oh Of course, yeah.
Well, have fun at the track
and don't wait up.
Fuck it.
Thought you'd changed your mind.
Nope.
[MAX:] So
What are you gonna
tell your boss?
That there was some
definite interest.
[LAUGHTER]
I want to see you again.
[WHISPERS:] You have my number.
I want to take you to dinner.
Dinner? Yeah.
You know, where people sit,
eat, and converse
Oh, dinner, cool.
So, how about it then?!
A proper date?
I should
I should probably get
this place cleaned up.
What is your problem?
Are you just not
interested, or?
You're just
You're just too nice.
Right.
[PARTY CHATTER]
Wine?
Back in the day we'd
have skulled that booze
and got the fuck out of here?
Load of shit, right?
Guy's a fraud, doesn't
deserve an exhibition
You're having a baby.
Yeah. Why didn't you tell me?
There was a lot going on.
You kissed me at
my granny's wake.
So?
So you have a
pregnant girlfriend.
It was just a kiss, it
Why is it a big deal?
I'm not.
Kinda seems like you are.
No. No, I'm not.
I think you are.
[KRISTEN:] Jack!
Jack!
Say hi to Klaus.
He's asking for you.
Sure.
I didn't know you were
Caroline's sister.
I didn't know you knew Caroline.
Oh. She's wonderful.
You're so different.
So, how'd you think
your folks broached
the whole open
relationship thing?
Would you say your
dad mentioned it
and she went along with it,
or was it her suggestion?
Listen love.
Do you think it's a good idea
you working for this woman?
She's the only one
who gave me a job.
Yeah, but this whole
thing with your ex!
Oh, I can handle it.
Look, I was in shock earlier
because my relationship with
Jack has been, you know,
complicated. Yeah.
So's my relationship with vodka.
It's why we broke up!
No, I have clarity now.
He's having a baby.
He's moved on.
And so have I, you know?
Don't want any more drama.
Are you sure? Drunks
do love a bit of drama.
I'm a different person now.
I'm sober.
It's over.
Never trust a man in a hat.
You're so sexy.
You're so sexy.
Oh, I want this.
Me too.
[DAN: ]I'm married.
I don't care.
That is so hot.
Hurry up and get inside me.
That is so fucking hot!
I want you.
Oh god Come on.
Oh, shit.
Yeah? Oh shit! Oh shit!
[DAN CRIES]
Are you okay?
[DAN SOBS]
You alright? Yeah.
Did you just?
Sorry.
No, it's fine.
Just give it a minute.
I might be able to
Yep. Sure.
[RUSTLING IN THE BIN]
Think we're out of luck.
Yeah, that's fine.
I should probably umm
Oh, for fuck's sake
[SIGHS]
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[TOM: ]Bernie, are you there?
I'm in here!
[TOM GRUNTS]
It's over.
Sorry.
