01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

Have I ever showed
you my expert level

tea in Twirl trick?

No.

No? Well, it's your lucky day.

So, remove your Twirl
from its packaging.

Nibble, reverse.

Nibble. You with me?

- Yeah.
- Now, watch out.

You get your tea and you
no longer have a Twirl.

You have your own
personal chocolate straw.

Good?

Yes, it's good.

- There you go.
- Come on, try it.

So, remove Twirl.

- Nibble.
- Nibble. Reverse.

- Nibble.
- Nibble. You got it.

Straight in.

No kissing?

Straight in, no kissing.

Just suck the goodness.

Mm!

That's so good.

- You like it?
- Yeah!

It will eventually-

Oh!

Oh my God. [laughs]

Do you ever do this?

No.

Bite a little bit off each end

and dip it in and
use it as a straw.

[Pauline] What?

Trust me.

That's bloody lovely.

He was full of little
random things like that.

Feels real different here.

Obviously, sorry.

Yeah.

Look, Aine, I said some
terrible things to you.

Things I didn't mean.

No, you didn't, I did to you.

No, it's just, let
me just say this.

I needed something.

Someone to blame, and
I took it out on you

and it wasn't fair.

No, you're right though.

I was with him all the time.

There's things I
could've told you.

[sombre music]

Sean, we've talked about this.

You should just take them.

Aine, they make me feel...

When I take them, I
don't feel anything.

I know, but we're going
round and round in circles.

They were prescribed
for a reason.

Just, you know-

Jesus Christ, Aine!

Will you listen to me?

Why don't you take them then?

If it's so f*cking easy.

Like, I know that
there are things

I could've said
and done different.

But still, it doesn't make it...

My fault.

I know that, Aine.

[Aine] Just needed
to say that to you.

[Pauline] Yeah.

I loved Sean. I
hope you know that.

I know you did.

You know, when he came
out of the hospital

in the morning, I
could barely breathe

until I could hear him cough
or take his first step.

And there were times
when I'd hear him cry.

I didn't say or do
anything either.

These are some of the things

that I was gonna
say in the church

but I couldn't.

It's not that I didn't want to.

I know that.

[Pauline laughing]

What?

Best worst dancer?

His stupid dancing.

Yeah.

I was wondering if
you could help me

go through all of his things?

I haven't been able
to face it yet.

I wanted to wait for you.

Can we do that?

[sombre music]

[tram bell ringing]

[Pauline] Thanks, Aine. I
couldn't face this alone.

Pauline, can I have this?

Aine, anything
you want you take.

Liam took his PS4,
is the only thing.

He said it was for Harry,

but I know Claire won't let
Harry have a PlayStation

'til he's older.

And Liam won't take it back, so.

I'll get some bags.

[sombre music]

Go on, will you pass
it? Look up, will you?

- Go! Get it into there!
- Hit it, hit it!

Go, crush it!

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

[both laughing]

Go on then, you!

Get in there, Hoops!

What a team! What a team.

[laughs] Come here!

[gentle music]

[tender music]

[Denise] Look at her.

Big, big girl.

God, we're gonna be such
embarrassing parents.

No.

She's gonna think
we're really cool.

Babe, we met at a karaoke club.

[Denise] She doesn't
have to know that.

[cellphone ringing]

[telephone ringing]

- Lloyd O'Neil.
- Lloyd. [sobs]

- D?
- Lloyd.

Lloyd!

Denise?

[Denise] [sobs] Lloyd!

Denise.

[Denise] You need to come.

You need to come now!

[sombre music]

[Denise wailing]

Saiorse! Saiorse!

[Lloyd sobbing]

[desolate music]

[Denise breathing shakily]

Should we go soon?

Lloyd?

[Lloyd sobbing]

Lloyd.

Lloyd.

It's okay, I'll go
and get ready, okay?

[Baz] Yo!

Yeah.

That was quick.

- Yeah.
- Alright? Nice one.

I can't believe this.

I'm still not over my
parents splitting up,

what's this gonna do to me?

It's alright, Baz.

Sorry, man. Come here.

I'm grand.

For me.

Jesus Christ.

[Baz] Oh!

Okay, come on. Let's start.

Right, I'll put
these in the car.

[sombre music]

It's Aine.

Well.

Alright, love?

I'm sorry, Ma.

I'm sorry, love.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Nice for you to be able

to have some of his things.

Oh yeah. Little box of memories.

Yeah.

These are our memories, I think.

Used to keep cards and
cinema tickets and stuff.

He was romantic, wasn't he?

He was an old soul, alright.

Nervous to open this.

Don't be, we're all here.

Yeah.

[gentle music]

Is that a ring?

[Kelly breathing shakily]

[Aine sobbing]

[Baz] Look, man, what's
the rush with all this?

It's the right time.

Yeah, but would you not
at least wait for her

to come back now
and have it out,

once and for all, face to face?

It's what Denise wants.

[Baz] Is it?

[Lloyd] She text me.

What did it say?

"Beginnings always hide
themselves in ends."

It's a text, Lloyd,

that can mean lots
of different things.

Look, just tell me to F
off, mind my own business-

F off and mind
your own business.

Very good.

Oh, seriously.

Let's just pack up
and let it go, okay?

No, I can't let it
go, you're my mate

and I'm telling you now that
this is a massive mistake.

Something happened, alright?

I met someone.

No, it is mad with
everything, you know?

Could've been a right weirdo
for all you knew, Aine.

- Mm, well, he wasn't.
- Luckily.

Although, he does karaoke.

What do you mean?

He does competitions.

Like, he's in a
karaoke klub, with a K.

Are you messing?

That's what I said to him!

Aye, here, you're
lucky you're not left

in that bloke's basement,
bleeding Fritzl.

[Kelly] [laughs] Singing Fritzl!

Karaoke k*ller.

Here.

I don't think I can keep it.

Sean didn't give it to me.

[Pauline] It's yours, Aine.

Yeah. Sean would've
wanted you to have it.

Yeah, and Pauline would
say the very same thing.

You've nothing to feel
guilty about, you hear me?

Look, we say things
to each other

that we don't really
mean sometimes.

Sure we don't.

Come here to me.

You too.

You didn't sleep with
her, did you, Lloyd?

No.

You did, didn't you?

No.

Jesus.

No.

[Baz] Right.

There was a drunken moment.

Knew it.

No, it wasn't...

It was just a kiss.

Yeah, we...

We made a connection.

Connection?

What, like a wifi connection?

Game of Connect Four?

It's not a joke, Baz.

Yeah, you're right, it's not.

She...

She really helped me, I can't...

Can't explain it.

No, honestly, this is
my last one of these.

I'm actually a fat pig.

Kelly!

[Kelly] It's true though.

There's not a pick on you, Kel.

Oh, says skinny over there.

This is my second
chipper in a row.

Remember how Sean
thought it was mad

- that we did that?
- [Paul laughing]

[Kelly] What?

That we'd get a chipper

without any salt
and vinegar on it.

They never do it
right, that's why,

I told him that.

"But just put it
on it yourselves,

like, why don't you get it?"

"Relax, Sean, we just do it
the way we do it, alright?"

- Ah, old habits.
- Yeah.

[Paul breathing heavily]

Da.

Sorry.

He was a good young
man. That's all.

- You alright?
- I'm alright.

You know, like, we've
all had those weekends.

Well, you know, this connection
business, it's not real.

Yeah, you've been through
some very serious stuff.

But here, this house, Denise,

this is your real life, man.

So what, I just
wait around in limbo

while she floats around
Europe for a few weeks?

Come on, she's hardly
just swanning round Europe

having the craic,
she just needs time.

Months?

Well, however long it takes.

Years? Tell me.

Because I've moved
out, I've backed off.

Look, it's done, she
can't even look at me,

she can't bear the sight of me.

That's not true.

Look, you wouldn't
understand, Baz, so just...

Just don't tell Denise
about this weekend.

I'm gonna tell her. Come on.

[Lloyd and Baz chatting outside]

[Baz] So, what have
you been watching?

- What's the craic?
- Jesus Christ!

[Baz] What?

D.

Hi.

Hi.

But, you alright?

- Yeah.
- Here.

You look...

What?

- I dunno.
- Charming.

No, good!

You look good, it's just...

Well, you look exhausted.

Feel like it.

Yeah. What, what's going on?

What are you doing?

It was just last minute.

Hi, Baz.

- Hi!
- Yeah. Hi.

Alright, welcome home.

- The wanderer.
- Yeah.

How was El Camino?

It was very weird,
random, crazy,

my mom showed up,
I hurt my foot,

nearly missed my flight, so.

I just came by to get
the last of my things.

Yeah, I saw that.

Yeah.

I'm gonna go.

Yeah, okay.

Do you want me to?

No, no. I'll walk myself out.

It's good to see you.

I'll give you a text.

[Baz] Yeah. See you.

- Bye, Baz.
- Bye.

Taking the Tom Jones with you?

Yeah.

Well you can keep him
if you want, I didn't-

When I first walked in

I thought you were
moving back in.

No.

Denise, look, there's something

that I have to
tell you, alright?

And I just want to...

Before we get into anything.

This is not how it
sounds, alright?

But I met somebody.

And I kissed her.

Yeah.

Oh, beautiful.

Good taste.

I taught him well.

He didn't give it to me himself,

so I can't keep it.

No, but he would've, if...

It's yours.

I'm not sure if I would've
accepted it, Pauline.

Dunno if I would've
said yes if he asked me.

With everything.

No, I know.

I miss him.

I miss him too.

And I've missed you
these last few months.

We all have.

Sure, you've always been

like a daughter to
me, haven't you?

Know that I will
always be here for you

and you're part of our
family no matter what.

Thank you.

I want you to promise
me something, Aine.

Live.

Do you hear me? Live.

And when the time
is right for you,

find someone to love.

[tender music]

I love you, Aine.

Come on out and say hello.

Yeah.

Look, it wasn't a
kiss kiss, okay?

There was drink
involved, circumstances.

It's who it was.

Who?

I know her?

No.

No.

Her name is Aine.

Where'd you meet her?

You wanna be with her?

No, of course not.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, stop.

No, not stop, why are
you kissing someone else?

Look, I told you that it wasn't,

do you know what, why
am I even explaining it?

What do you care anyway?

What do I care?

Yeah, you kicked me out.

I kicked you out? Are you
f*cking kidding me right now?

"Beginnings always hide
themselves in ends."

What does that
even mean, Denise?

I can't do it anymore.

Because it's too painful, okay?

You want me to talk
about how I feel?

Well there you go.

I just can't do it anymore.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Just take your sh*t and go.

Okay? Take it, go.

I'm going.

[sombre music]

Where did he find it?

It's gorgeous, Aine.

It's a little beauty, alright.

I'll be back in a
second, Harry, okay?

You know, he had a,

he'd asked me about
proposing to Claire.

And I was slagging,
saying oh what,

are you gonna pop the
question, you know.

I didn't...

I should've just given
him advice. No, I dunno.

No, we've all been doing
exactly the same as that, Liam.

Analysing every single thing
we've ever said to him.

Yeah, I said you
can't keep doing that.

[Aine] We can't.

I know, sorry.

Mum, look!

[Claire] What're you doing, Har?

I'm sending bubbles up to Sean.

[tender music]

Hey.

Didn't think you'd be here.

I'm here every day on my lunch.

Look, everything that's
happening between us,

it's not all my fault, D.

You kicked me out.

I didn't want any of this.

You refused to talk
about it, Lloyd.

And I didn't kick you out.

Yes you did.

Let's not do this here, okay?

Don't mind your old
mammy and daddy, Saiorse.

I miss you so much, babba.

Look, I want to explain

what I told you
about last night.

I think I was just in
shock from seeing you.

Look, on Friday, I
went to Baz's gig

and he played this song
that he'd written for us.

For Saiorse.

And it upset me

even though what I heard
of it was really lovely.

So I was back in the flat
and it was lashing rain.

And I saw this girl, woman,

standing on the bridge.

Aine.

I didn't want to, in case,

after not doing
anything the last time.

Yeah.

Sean.

No.

No, I'm saying that Aine
was Sean's girlfriend.

Which is why she was...

So, she stayed in the
flat for two nights.

On the sofa.

And the kiss, it wasn't...

Look, it was just
two hurt people

but she's a really nice person.

I told her about Saiorse.

You spoke to her about Saiorse?

Look, I should
probably get back.

Okay.

Lloyd.

Today was the first time I
heard you say her name since...

It was just upsetting.

Weird.

God, yous poor things.

Look, it's nice to see you.

You too.

And this handsome guy.

Sorry I'm only meeting him now.

No, don't be silly.

I'm really happy for you guys.

[Ashling] I know you are.

He's just gorgeous.

Hi. Hi, can I hold your hand?

Hi!

Would you like to hold him?

No.

Okay.

He's a little lump, isn't he?

Takes after Tony.

How's Tony?

Ah, he's totally
unprepared for everything,

you know Tony.

And the sleep deprivation?

I understand now
how they get lads

to sign false confessions.

But enough of his w*r stories.

He was asking for you.

You know, I never
spoke to Lloyd about...

- Is there no chance, you know?
- No.

It's too late.

It's Saiorse's birthday soon.

Yeah.

And what are you
thinking about doing?

I don't know.

It'd be nice not to be alone.

Look, I think it's
important to mark it.

Yeah.

Maybe you guys could come over?

We'll be here. You know that.

Okay.

[Ashling] And what about Lloyd?

Um...

[laughs] Oh, Jake.

Yeah.

- Hi, Jake.
- I can smell that too.

Oh. [laughs]

Did you just sh*t
yourself again?

Let me change you, baby.

[Denise laughing]

[Erica] What's that? A book?

Mhmm.

[Erica] Reading, is it?

You finished it?

I am now.

[Erica] What's it about?

A young fella.

[Erica] Riveting. See ya, Aine.

See ya.

[steady music]

[Lloyd sighing]

[Denise breathing deeply]

♪ She was both
fair and handsome ♪

♪ Her neck it was
just like a swan ♪

♪ And her hair it hung
over her shoulder ♪

- Morning.
- Heya.

Something came there for you.

[tender music]

[doorbell buzzing]

Well.

Hey.

[Lloyd] Hey.

The book?

Yeah, I didn't know if it was...

Creepy or sweet?

Yeah.

Well, thank you.

You look different.

Just don't look like a
drowned rat, you mean?

You look good, I mean, very...

Luminescent.

Well, are you gonna invite me in

or are you just
gonna stand there?

Yeah, of course.

Would you like some
coffee or water or?

Yeah, water would be good.

Okay.

[Aine] Feels like a
year since we met.

Yeah.

I've been thinking
about you a lot.

Yeah, me too.

I've been thinking about
what happened to yous

and I can't get over it.

So I dunno, I just thought
I'd come and see you.

See if you're alright.

So, are you alright?

Yeah, I'm not alright.

But I'll be alright.

- Right.
- Right?

Right.

Are you alright?

I'm alright. You
f*cking alright?

Well, I'm alright.

Are you though, yeah?

Same as you.

Look, I didn't mean to
mess with your feelings.

- Oh, I know.
- No, I...

I thought I was helping you.

The classic.

You were helping me.

Bought you a trip to
Iceland, for Christ's sake.

[laughs] Very impulsive.

I dunno, maybe in
a couple of months

you might decide to still go.

You and your mam maybe.

Me and my ma?

We can't even go to
Iceland the supermarket

without choking each other.

This is the...

This is the ring
that Sean got me.

It's very nice.

I think it was his way
of trying to regain

some control of his life.

Look, I'm really sorry that
I didn't say more to him.

You know, something to stop him.

No.

Do you know, I've been thinking
an awful lot about that

and there's no point
in me doing to you

what Sean's ma did to me.

Like, if myself and his
family couldn't stop him,

how could we possibly
expect a stranger to?

Well, I'm really sorry as well

that I didn't tell
you straight out

that Denise had met him.

I forgive you, Lloyd.

I'm glad we met.

Brought you something.

[Lloyd] What?

It's just a thank you

for the book that you got me.

And I made that on my lunch
break, so, I'm the best.

You made this?

Well I didn't make
the frame obviously,

but I used like, do you
know that little teabag

staining effect to make
a thing look older?

Sean had a copy.

I read it, I liked it,

I thought you might like that.

Read it.

[Lloyd] I am.

No, read it out loud.

"Anyway, I keep picturing
all these little kids

playing some game in this
big field of rye and all.

Thousands of little kids.

And nobody's around.

Nobody big, I mean, except me.

And I'm standing on the
edge of some crazy cliff.

What I have to do, I
have to catch everybody

if they start to
go over the cliff.

I mean, if they're running

and they don't look
where they're going,

I have to come out from
somewhere and catch them.

That's all I do all day.

I'd just be the catcher
in the rye and all.

I know it's crazy but
that's the only thing

I'd really like to be.

I know it's crazy."

[Aine] Really is just
about some young fella

going around, isn't it?

Yeah, I told you.

Thank you so much, this
is just so, so tough.

Oh, and here.

Do you know how they say you
should never let the truth

get in the way of a good story?

Yeah.

Karaoke Clash, you and
Denise, a duet, coming third?

From now on, just
say that yous won.

[both laughing gently]

[tender music]

[bicycle bell ringing]

Look, thanks for the invite.

Cake.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if we...

Sorry, I should've
asked you first.

No. No, it's fine.

It's beautiful.

You wanna see what
Karen sent me?

Yeah.

Hey, Denise, sorry
for the radio silence

but we have a little
surprise for you.

Not only did myself and
Bill make it to Santiago

but we walked a further
three days to Finisterre.

Hey Denise, welcome to
the end of the world!

And we have a little
surprise for you.

Let's get this thing
over with, shall we?

Stories I could tell you
about these two, Denise.

We're off the beach
now, we're gonna do

the traditional naked run
and jump into the sea.

[Julia speaking in Dutch]

What she said!

Well, Julia. She made it.

Yeah.

Very good.

You can take your jacket off.

[doorbell ringing]

Hey, Lloyd.

Hey. Oh my God.

I had an idea and
I went with it.

She brought a tree.

An Ash tree.

No, it's a...

Oh, very good, you.

You're hanging round
with this lad too long.

I brought a bag of, what is it?

Mulch.

Yeah, mulch. For the tree.

Look, I thought we could
plant it out here for it...

- Oh God.
- What?

No, we can just
plant it in a pot.

So we can share custody of it.

I'm a f*cking eejit.

No, you're not, we can
just plant it right here.

I can take it home and-

Ash. Stop.

It's a lovely gesture.

[Baz] Or you could
just, you know.

Just what?

Just not break up.

Yeah, look,

we were thinking if you gave
it a bit of time, you know?

I'm with Baz and Ash.

Just, let's not do
this today, guys.

- It's just-
- Just nothing.

- Hey.
- No.

You guys have no idea
what we're going through

or what it's been like for us.

Yeah, we couldn't.

Do you know how hard it is

to look at the person you love
the most in the whole world

and see them so
broken and just...

And there's nothing
you can do about it

because you can't fix it,

so let's just, let's
have a drink, yeah?

Come on.

Yeah.

[sombre music]

- Thank you.
- There you go.

- Thanks.
- There you go.

Thank you.

There you go.

I'm really sorry, you guys.

You know we love
the bones of yous.

That's why we've been
sticking our beaks in.

We just want what's
best for you, like.

Come on, let's plant
this tree, yeah?

[Tony] I'll get the shovel.

We were so lucky
to have had her.

[Denise speaking in Dutch]

Sorry for earlier.

If there was ever an apology
that wasn't needed, like.

Yeah, love.

Thanks for the tree.

And thank you for being here.

Actually, Baz?

Hm?

Okay. This one's for Saiorse.

Have you heard from Aine?

Yeah.

She came by to
see if I was okay.

It's not that you kissed her.

It's that you could talk to
her about Saiorse but not me.

I just remember the night
that we first made love.

That's never gonna sound
right in an Irish accent.

No.

But that night we
asked each other

about embarrassing
stories that we had.

And you said about nearly-

Drowned a bald guy.

The bald guy, yeah.

But I didn't get
to tell you my one.

You see, I was supposed
to be moving to Australia.

But after meeting you
and after that night,

I just couldn't go anywhere.

I just, I really don't
wanna go anywhere now.

The text I sent you, I
really wanted it to be true.

But what beginnings
come from this end?

That's why I didn't reply.

But maybe we could...

Maybe we could begin again.
