She started bleeding.
Oh my god.
Fuck, fuck. Fuck!
Wait, I'll come
with you. No, no!
It's okay.
See ya.
[TOILET FLUSHES]
[DOOR OPENS]
Can't believe there's
no shower in there.
You said it was too expensive and
I must use the one in the house.
Oh.
When was the last
time you hoovered?
Dad!
Sticky. Yeah.
That'll be all the semen.
Your mother hasn't been in
the kitchen all morning.
Maybe she got lucky last night.
Think I could sneak
over for a wash?
[ANT: ]Sure.
What if she's there?
ANT: She's not there by
now, she's not there.
She's probably over
at Aunty Rita's.
Okay. I'll risk it.
You wouldn't have a towel?
Thanks.
[DOOR UNLOCKS AND OPENS]
[DOOR SHUTS]
What's going on?
Where have you been?
At a friend's.
What's that?
It's a casserole.
Ahem, right well, I think
we have everything we need.
Really? Are you sure?
We'll file the report
and be in touch.
What report? What's happened?
Aren't you taking this?
Oh, we can't take food.
I'm trying to go vegan.
As evidence.
To run tests on or
whatever, at the lab?
I don't think that's necessary.
He put something in it!
Mum Don't Mum me!
He's trying to poison me!
Why else would he
use a Le Creuset?
People always use the good stuff
when they're up to the bad!
Everybody knows that!
When will I hear from you?
Are you going to?
Oh
Oh my fucking Jesus!
What's happening?
Dad! What are you
doing here, Tom?
I was going for
Why are the guards here?

She was concerned about Pam.
Pam? That's what
this is all about?
Pam?
For god's sake, Bernie,
she's just on her holidays!
In Mallorca!
And take your fucking slippers!
[DOOR OPENS]
She needs more time.
Cup of tea?
How about some breakfast?
Eggs?
Probably tired, after
all that excitement.
I'm not one of your patients.
You don't have to
use that voice.
What voice.
That irritating voice.
Mum!
I've just spent the night
listening to her go on
about a fucking casserole
and that's the thanks I get.
Err
What happened?
She thinks her neighbour's
trying to kill her.
I meant with Kristen.
How do you know about Krist?
You were with him.
Is the baby okay?
Caroline
Yes. The baby's fine.
They've kept her
in for observation.
And is, err, Jack still
is he still with her?
Jesus.
You're more delusional
than our mother.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR] [ANT:] Mum?
Are you okay?
I was calling you last night.
Sorry, yeah. Things got
a bit intense at Mina's.
You were at Mina's?
Just for a bit. Not long.
Why?
I needed to talk to
Dad about something.
What?
Just, guy stuff.
Oh.
Do you think maybe you were
being a bit hard on him?
Like I'm not making up excuses,
but he thought you
wanted him to stay.
Oh, the poor man.
What an awful mix-up. Okay.
I know you're pissed off.
And you're right to be.
But, please let him
kip here for a few?
I don't want him in the house.
Mm-hmm.
So what?
He'll have to stay in my shed?
Well, given you two are so
close Oh come on Mum.
Will you let him shower?
No. Ten minutes!
No.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Is that the fella that was here?
No.
Do you like him?
What? No.
Why don't you call
him and ask him out?
Oh my god! Or send a text.
And say what?
Say err, Max, that's
his name, yeah?
Max I'm sorry I
acted like an arse.
Can I make up for it
and buy you a pint?
A pint? Yeah.
Could I say a cocktail?
Sure.
Nah, this is stupid!
I'm not doing it.
Ah, for god's sake
What are you doing?
I never understand
your generation.
Give me the phone.
Give me the phone.
[PHONE RINGING]
Give me the fucking phone!
Err, hello. Is this Max?
Sorry, who is this?
Err, my name is Thomas Sheridan.
We haven't officially met.
[ANT:] Jesus! Oh my god
I believe you know
my son, Anthony,
from the estate agents.
[MAX: ]Err Yeah?
Well err, I'm ringing
on his behalf.
He's he's very, err, sorry
for err, the way he
behaved towards you.
You know, I know you
two were intimate
Kill me, kill me!
I don't get into that
kind of stuff with
him, obviously
Is this a joke?
[TOM:] Oh god no!
No, he wants to take
you out and apologise.
Dad, hang up. Man to man.
Hang up now!
[MAX: ]Err, okay.
Listen, umm, tell
him I'll text him.
He does answer his
own texts, right?
He does, yeah. He does.

He's gonna text.
Oh, god! Oh!
[PHONE RINGING]
[JACK VOICEMAIL:] Hey,
Jack Corcoran here.
Leave a message.
[BEEPING TONE]
[PHONE THUDS ON FLOOR]
Where do you think it's going?
With Jack.
Where do you actually
think it's going?
Can we just not right now?
He has done the same thing over
and over since you were 19.
He picks you up,
he's all intense
like you're the most
important thing in the world
and then he just Yeah well,
it's different now.
How is it different?
It's just a bit of Fun?
[SHIV:] Yeah.
Looks it. [PHONE PINGS]
Oh, Jack.
They've discharged her.
He's taking her home.
Guess that's one thing
off your conscience.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[PHONE BUZZING]
[DOOR OPENS]
I know you don't
want me in the house.
[DOOR CLOSES]
And, err, I won't stay.
Look, love
Don't call me love.
Do you think
maybe you should find
yourself a hobby?
Hmm, or a little job,
you know, part time.
You know, part time.
Not for the money.
Not for the money.
Just to take your
mind off things.
Off what things?
Off the fact I've been betrayed
by the person I trust
most in the world?
Or that my adult children
are losing the plot?
No, they're
they're not losing the plot.
You know, Ant is
very hospitable.
Oh. Are you gonna take
him too, and what?
Leave me here with Shiv
and all her bullshit?
Do you actually think
she's stopped drinking?
What do you mean?
[BERNIE:] We've never
been able to trust a word
that comes out of her mouth.
If Shiv wants to
carry on being a sad,
fucked up failure,
well, that's her choice.
And do you know what?
I don't even care anymore.
She was only supposed to
stay for the fucking weekend!
Yes, I know!
I know.
Do you want me to talk to her?
Tell her you need space.
No, just get out, will ye?
Could I nip down the
hall and grab a jumper?
[WINE POURING]
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
Has she gone out again?
Everything okay?
Yeah.
Caroline said Kristen's fine.
Yeah. Thank god.
They thought it had to
do with the placenta
but she thinks she might
have just overdid it in yoga.
Too much downward dog.
Or something.
That's good.
So, I was wondering if maybe you
wanted to do something later.
I know you're with
Kristen now but
I've had such a shitty
day with my family.
I could really
do Your family?
Jesus Shiv, there's a
lot more important things
going on than your
fucking family.
I mean Kristen
nearly lost our baby.
You said it was downward dog.
I can't deal with this now.
I was just looking
I've my own family
to think about, okay?
What do you want
me to do for you?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
[SHIV SOBBING]
[FRIDGE DOOR OPENS]
What are you doing?
Getting supplies for me and dad.
What if there is
something in it?
I'll let him try it first.
What kind of eejit
leaves his wife
without warning his mistress?
Straight men are clueless.
[CARO: ]Yeah.
Speaking of.
[RORY:] You didn't
come home last night.
Yeah, sorry.
It was a weird evening.
I thought you were avoiding me.
[CARO:] No, no, no.
I'm worried I freaked
you out yesterday
Do you want to marry me?
Yes! Oh, my god.
No, like really?
Yes, really. More than anything.
Cause the way you were
talking yesterday,
it seems like you
want to have sex with
a lot of other people.
Only if you're there too!
I don't want to sneak around
behind each other's
backs or anything.
No.
But if we're going to
have any sort of marriage,
we need to be able
to talk about this.
I know.
I was just trying to
tell you what I'm into.
But it doesn't mean you
have to be into it too.
I am into it.
Not the Lycra thing or the
clowns but the threesome stuff,
maybe I could get on board with.
Really?
Great.
[AUGHS ]That's great.
Should we sign up to
like an app or?
I think we should have
sex with each other first.
Yeah. Warm up.
There's a bed here.
Okay, so
Who do you want
to watch me with?
Umm Who do you want
me to watch you with?
A guy or a girl?
Open to both. Okay.
Who have you fantasized
about watching me with?
Umm
Do you want to see a
photo of Miss Riordan?
Sure. Okay.
No, that's won't work for me.
No, sorry. Err, the
lads at the track?
Yeah, let's try that. Okay.
Him?
Oh, he's attractive.
Isn't he?
Okay, so umm
What's he gonna do to me?
Err, firstly, umm
Oh, for god's sake. He
can do whatever he wants.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hiya! Is Shiv here?
Err, no, she's, uh
And you are?
Karen. I'm a friend.
From town.
Could I wait inside?
We've a bit of
business to settle.
Sure.
[KAREN: ]Thanks.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Mum!
Have we any clean sheets?
[SCREAMING:] Get out!
[ANT LAUGHS]
Oh!
[KAREN: ]Lovely house.
Small for the price though.
I googled the area
before I came out, mad.
But lovely.
Yeah, thanks.
Are you selling drugs
to our daughter?
What? Is 'friend
from town' a code?
No! Jesus, just cause
I'm from the North side!
[DOOR SLAMS] Shiv!
Your friend's here from town.
What friend?
Karen, what are you doing here?
Well, you're not
answering me calls.
Are you alright?
You look a bit
Is he back in the house?
I'm making sure your
mother's alright.
Course she's not alright.
She's stuck here with me.
The sad, fucked up failure
who was only going to
stay for one weekend.
What?
Do you want to go for a coffee?
I heard what you said
about me earlier.
Oh, did ye?
Oh
Right.
Well, you know what, maybe
you needed to hear it.
Maybe it's about time
we all stop pussyfooting
around your hypocrisy
and tell it like it is.
What, that you
don't want me here?
That you bring darkness and
destruction everywhere you go!
Ah, Bernie It's true!
She's a magnet for it.
What's all the shouting?
Everything was fine.
We were fine,
We were fine, until you came home
with all your recovery bullshit!
Until you came home with
all your recovery bullshit!
All your lies!
Talking everything out!
Everybody saying what they feel!
Does it make anyone
feel any better,
all this fucking talking?
Does it?
I lost my son!
You didn't lose your son.
You didn't lose Carl.
He killed himself.
He was in pain, and none of
us saw, and he killed himself.
That's the truth.
[SHOUTING: ]That's on us!
There's no getting away
from that one, Bernie!
I don't have to listen to this.
No! Have another drink instead!
What? Bernie.
Bernie!
What the fuck, Shiv?
Bernie, will ye
stop. Leave me alone!
You don't care about
me! [GLASS SMASHES]
Bernie, come back in!
The neighbours can see! Come on!
None of you see me!
I'm invisible, like
every other woman my age!
[CAR SMASHES INTO BERNIE]
