[folk music playing faintly]

[people chattering]

[patron laughs]

Pint of Guinness, please.

[phone chimes]

[folk music continues playing]

[pensive music]

Okay, Sean's f*ck-it list.

[Aine laughs]

- You ready?
- Mm-hmm.

Pick a number
between one and 100.

- You've 100 things?
- I have 100 things.

- Let's see.
- No, pick one.

- No!
- Just pick one!

- Nine.
- Number nine, okay.

Learn to drive.

[laughs] At last, alleluia!

At last. Go on, go again.



Number 71, convince a stranger
that I'm from the future.

You're the biggest
dope I've ever met.

[Sean] Come on, keep going.



[laughs] I can't
show you number 14.

What?

- No.
- No.

No, no, stop!

Let me see.

I'm not letting you see.

Keep going, come on.

Okay, look, I'll tell
you what else I have.

Walk along the beach
in Zihuatanejo.

Z what?

You know, Zihuatanejo, the place

at the end of "The
Shawshank Redemption".

Sing "You'll Never Walk
Alone" at Celtic Park.

Have a son.

Sexist.

Manage said son's football team.

What about managing your
daughter's football team?

Well because, you know,
my dad managed mine and...

Manage said son or
daughter's football team.

Thank you.

Do a flying lesson.

Have sex on a beach.

Sand in me crack for
a week, no thanks!

Well who ever said that
it would be with...

I won't finish that thought.

Moving on, we have
run a marathon,

learn another language.

Mais oui.

Number one though, any guesses?

Hmm.

Honestly, no, no clue.

- No clue?
- Mm-mm.

Do you even know me at all?

Shut up, just tell me.

Go see the Northern Lights.

[sombre music]

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah, even just
thinking about it.

It'd be unreal.

[sombre music continues]

[phone chiming]

[dog barks]

Rapido.

[ominous music]

[dog continues barking]

[ominous music intensifies]

[dog barks and pants]

- [fence banging]
- [dog barking]

[Denise pants]

[dog snarls and barks]

[Denise screams in pain]

Ah.

[dog continues barking]

[folk music plays faintly]

[people chattering]

[pensive music]

Remember, all you're doing

is talking about the Sean
that you knew, your Sean.

And Sean was, is, so much more

than what happened
to him in the end.

What happened?!

What he did, you mean.

Do you know, as
awful as that is,

in some ways you
could see it as a,

as a really brave
thing to have done.

What?

[Sandra] Oh, I don't
mean brave as in brave.

Yeah, I'll just get up there

and tell everyone how brave
he was for k*lling himself.

What I meant, what I
meant was that maybe-

Good man, Sean.

So f*cking brave of you!

He didn't want to leave,
but he also didn't want-

Why don't you leave, ma?

Seriously, like now.

It's not what I meant.

I know you're suffering.

We're all here to help you,

but we can't if
you won't let us.

Just leave.

[folk music plays faintly]

[Lloyd] Buenos t*rd.

Fancy seeing you here.

Of all the beer
gardens in all the...

Is it all right if I sit down?

It's perfect timing.

We've had Lloyd's
favourite brekkie,

might as well have
Aine's favourite lunch!

[both chuckle]

Right, split the E challenge?

Split the E?

Yeah, you never...?

Yeah.

But it's to the bottom
of the harp, no?

Well let me know when you take

your training wheels off, Lloyd!

Oh, all right.

Split the E, huh?

Yeah, just along there.

[people laughing and chattering]

A thing of beauty.

Okay, so split the G?

Split the G? I told
you it's split the E.

Only bleeding dopes
say split the G.

No, but it's G for-

I can speak English, Aine.

[both chuckle]

Now, listen, three
small sips, one big one,

that's my method, okay?

You ready?

The Guinness guru.

I am the Guinness guru.

[Both] Eye contact.

[glasses clink]

[Aine slaps table]

[Aine] Boom!

I may have slightly
overshot that one.

[Aine laughs]

[people chattering]

[Aine] Mm!

Perfect!

- So you decided to come over-
- [phone rings]

Oh, sorry, oh, sorry.

Denise.

Denise?

[Denise] You're never gonna
believe what happened to me.

Is everything all right?

No, I veered off
the Camino path.

What? Well how did that happen?

Someone I was talking
to annoyed me and-

Oh, what did they
do, f*cking breathe?

That was just a...

I'm sorry, Dee.

I'm on a farm now and I'm
in this little smelly shed.

[dog barking in background]

Is that a dog?

Yes, it's massive
and it chased me.

Oh my God, are you all right?

And I really hurt my ankle too.

It's really painful.

[Lloyd] Well, can you move it?

Move it in a circular
motion there.

I can move it.

Okay, well then it's not broken.

You might have sprained
it or something.

Jesus Christ, Denise, make
sure you compress it, right?

And if you can get ice on it

and keep it elevated on
pillows tonight, all right?

Dee?

It's really nice
to hear your voice.

Yeah, you too.

Listen, your text, erm,

"Beginnings always hide
themselves in ends."

Someone I was working with,
Karen, she's, she's Irish,

and she's the one
that annoyed me.

She said it and it
just made me think.

Right.

[folk music playing
in background]

Where are you?

I can hear music.

I'm, I'm just out
and about, I...

Look, Dee what's...

[Denise sighs]

Denise?

[sobs] It's, it's just all...

I know.

- [soft tapping]
- [dog barks]

Someone's here, I can hear them.

No, look, Denise
can we just erm-

No, I can't talk right now,
I can't talk right now.

Hola!

Denise, I can stay on the line.

Hola, I'm here, help me!

Dee?

[line beeps off]

- [dog barking]
- [fence rattling]

Hola?

Hola.

Hi.

[farmhand speaks Spanish]

Camino?

No, no, no, no, no.
[speaks Spanish]

- Sorry?
- Back.

Back, oh, from where I came.

- Si, back.
- Of course.

Si, si, back.

[Denise speaks Spanish]

Gracias.

[farmhand speaks Spanish]

Hola.

[women chattering and laughing]

Oh, well, you're the
luckiest girl I know.

[Bride] To the love of my life.

[all cheer]

[Woman] Cheers!

[All] Cheers.

Everything okay with Denise?

Am I allowed ask you that?

Of course you are, yeah.

Took a wrong turn and got
chased by a dog and...

Camino drama.

Jesus, is she okay?

Yeah, no, yeah, she'll be grand.

It's a real f*ck-it list type
of thing to do, isn't it?

Hmm, which?

The Camino.

Er, mm.

Did you say f*ck-it list?

Yeah, like bucket
list, f*ck-it list.

Oh.

Sean used to have one,
he used to call it that.

Right.

You know, I'd consider doing
it meself only, the walking.

Do you know?

I do.

Why?

How did yous get together?

Me and Denise?

No, you and the bartender here!

[all chuckle]

You dope!

Yeah, you and Denise.

Was it all romantic?

Bet you it was.

Are we sitting in or out?

In.

Okay.

In fact, it better be
the most romantic story

I've ever heard.

Go on, Lloyd.

Okay, erm...

Okay, let's see, er. [chuckles]

Well, er, she's not exactly
black belt material but-

She's not a Karaoker as well?

Er, well, she wasn't,

not until we got
our hands on her.

See, she had just
joined our club.

- With a K?
- With a K.

And we were on
this weekend away,

'cause we were doing
this competition

that we'd organised
against a different club.

Hold on, there's competitions?

Oh, yes.

It starts off as a bit of fun,

but then people really,
really want to win.

And the competition,
is that with a K too?

Er, well this one was,

because it was
called Karaoke Klash.

[Aine] Me ma's obsessed

Well, he's the best.

A voice from The
Valleys of South Wales.

Let us hear it.

[Lloyd] Huh?

Go on.

What, here?

Yeah, little bit of
"Sex b*mb", something.

Oh, yeah.

No, definitely not.

Ah, Lloyd, please?

Later on, maybe.

[Aine] Right.

So, I'd just finished
doing my song

and I'm chatting away to
me mates, Tony and Baz.

Well, er, I'll tell
you something, Baz,

I think I might need
to buy a new hat.

Oh stop, I can smell a best
man speech in my future.

Do you like how I
pulled rank there, T?

Very impressive.

[all laugh]

What are you two going on about?

Come on!

You were being
watched like a hawk.

What?

No, sure everyone was watching.

Ah, yeah man, but this
was fairly like, you know?

Where do you sleep
when you go camping?

In tents.

Yeah, Tony's back in the game!

Nice one.

No, come on, we're just,
you know, we're just-

Friends.

Friends!

Friends, yes.

And let's not forget,
she has a boyfriend.

Cark?

Well, regarding Mark with a C,

Ash is very loud,
as you well know,

and let's just say I overhear
a lot of phone convos.

That's all I'm gonna say,
that's all I'm saying.

Oh, she's looking, she's
looking, she's looking.

Don't thumbs up back.

He thumbsed up back.

What's wrong with a thumbs up?

She looks cool when she does it.

Yeah, you look like you
get a different bus.

Baz!

[they laugh]

- Ladies and gents.
- Oh, here we go.

[crowd cheers and applauds]

I can tell you that
the scores so far

are very close
between both clubs.

[Audience] Ooh!

We have ourselves a
clash, ladies and gents.

Clash, it's a clash!

We've got a clash.

Are we ready to meet
our next performer

- in the ladies' singles?
- Oh, my God.

Yes!

Also representing Glenview
Karaoke Club from Dublin-

Up the Dubs!

Now, now, Newbridge, rawr!

[crowd laughs]

Joining us via Belgium,

please give it up for
Miss Denise Tielemens.

[crowd cheers and applauds]

[Man] Dee, Dee, come on, Dee!

Go for it, baby.

The thing was,
Denise was going out

with another fella at the time.

No way!

Yes, and he was-

He was her karaoke
partner as well.

Oh, no.

No, he was back in Belgium.

It would have been better
if he was in the club.

Me and the lads called him Cark.

[Aine] What?

Mark with a C.

Oh, God! [chuckles]

Anyway, Denise had just moved

to Dublin a few months before,

but her and Cark, they'd been
on the rocks for a while.

Smell scandal here,
and you swooped.

No, we-we had met up for
a coffee or whatever,

just us friends, like.

[Aine] Yeah, prepare the roots.

No, it wasn't like that,
it was just as friends.

No, don't do that, you
knew what you were doing.

You were digging
the foundations, you were shovelling away.

And look at you,
you know I'm right

'cause you're pulling
a redner there!

No, I'm not, that's
just me face.

Did you serenade her?

- What do you think I am?
- Bet you did.

- No, I didn't.
- Oh, my God, you did!

No, no, but I was, erm...

Yeah, God, I was
so mad about her.

Aw!

But I didn't know how
to, you know, tell her.

Anytime I went to
say how I felt,

I just froze up, you know.

Now Aine will come up to
say a few words about Sean.

[sombre music]

I...

I...

Sh...

Sh...

Sean...

But I was having
silly banter with her,

and as bizarre as it sounds,

I knew that I could
make her laugh.

Could you?

Yes, but I was in danger
of friend zoning meself,

wasn't I?

[Aine] Mm, the
dreaded friend zone.

Yes.

So what, it was now or never?

Correct, so then it was
Denise's turn to sing, right?

But during her song-

What?

Disaster.

Come on now, Mr. Judge, just
let me start over, please.

This microphone is not working.

Rules are rules, love.

f*cking amateur!

Huh! And what gave it away, hon?

Jesus!

Look, I'll go.

[All] No.

What do yous mean, no?

Well maybe, erm-

As chairman, maybe
Lloyd should...

Er, nah.

Look, I'll go and see
if she's all right.

If that's all right?

Fine, just two things.

Save your whole "I'm
mad about you" spiel

until she's calmed down.

- What?
- No, I'm serious Lloyd.

Yeah, all right.

And don't crack
any stupid jokes.

I won't.

Do the first bit.

Hurry up then.

Like asking a bear not
to sh*t in the woods.

Well, I had to see if she
was all right, didn't I?

Is this your thing, is it?

Women are in crisis and
then just Lloyd appears.

Yeah, my halo's in being
polished at the minute.

So I went outside and
she's sitting there

and I saw that she
was on her phone.

Now, I know this sounds
bad, but I was thinking-

Mm, yeah, you couldn't give
her a chance to call Cark.

I mean, for the love of God,

he can't be the one
to save the day now.

Yes, exactly!

Hook this sh*t to
my veins, Lloyd!

Don't even look at me
right now, I'm so mad.

Ah, look, it's
just a bit of fun.

Fun?

It's a competition, Lloyd,
and I wanted to win.

Look, I didn't know
you were so, er...

No, being competitive
is a good thing.

And the microphone,
what happened, that is not your fault.

That's what I wanted to
tell the judge dude, guy,

but he didn't want
to listen to me!

I know, I know,
the bloody amateur.

Oh, God!

Everyone heard that?

No.

Well, everyone in
the hotel, yes,

and the rest of the county but-

Okay!

No, no, no, no, look, look,
look, nobody died, okay?

Just a bit of a
Bruges-ed ego for you.

Oh, a little bit of
a smile, is it? Yes.

Anybody else and I would've
punched them in the face.

I'll admit, that was risky.

I was 50/50 about making
it, but see, I have a gift.

Mm-hmm, people ask, how
can someone so punchable

always seem to just
get away with it?

Ah.

- Er, er.
- Ah.

I think I changed my mind.

Oh.

Oh, whoa!

Eh, ow!

I'm sorry.

Jesus Christ, you're
stronger than you look.

Go on, show us your Brussels.

No, don't touch my g*ns!

[both chuckle]

At least one of us
did the club proud.

You were amazing up there.

No.

My father always used to sing,

"I'll Never Fall In Love Again".

[Lloyd] Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

We should duet it sometime.

Yeah, defo, yeah,
that'd be, er, amazio.

[Denise chuckles]

Come on, we'll head back inside.

No!

No, I'm too embarrassed,
I can't go back in there.

Look, if it makes
you feel any better,

I had a really embarrassing
moment a few weeks ago, so.

What happened?

Ah, something I've
been suffering with

for a while, to be honest.

I had to go and see
me doctor about it.

Is this a joke?

No!

Okay, go ahead.

So I went in and I
said, "Listen, Doc,

I, erm, just can't seem
to stop singing "Delilah".

[laughs] I knew it, I knew it!

- So-
- No.

- Yes.
- No, Lloyd.

She said, "You must have
Sir Tom Jones Syndrome".

[both laugh]

I'm begging you, no.

I have to finish it now.

So I said, "Is it common?"

[both laugh]

And she said...

Can I, can I?

Please.

♪ It's not unusual ♪

♪ Unusual ♪

Are you okay in the
head, like genuinely?

Two more?

- Er...
- Yeah, absolutely.

I'll drop them over to yous.

Thanks.

So, anyway, come on,
what happened next?

You're really invested
in this now, aren't you?

Yeah, you said you
were gonna cheer me up.

[Lloyd] No, well, you said
you didn't need cheering up.

Well, what other use do
I have for you, Lloyd?

So I'll have to build
this for you now.

Er, the hotel grounds,
really fancy gardens.

Er, moonlight.

Music, love, romance?

Little fairy lights.

Did I give her me jacket?

I hope you did.

[Denise laughs]

I'm feeling way better, thanks.

[Lloyd] Yeah?

Yeah.

My work here is done.

[gentle music]

It's like a film, this.

You made her feel
good, you stopped,

you looked into
each other's eyes.

And he said, "Aye, aye!"

He's as bad as you!

Do you think that was funny?

- Ah, yes, eye puns.
- What about them?

They're overlooked. [laughs]

Do you have like a little
collection of these jokes?

Basically, yeah.

So anyway, you're looking
into each other's eyes.

[Lloyd] Yes, and she said...

You're becoming a
really good friend.

- No, she didn't!
- She did.

[Aine] No!

Yep.

And why didn't you, like,
after the hug, there and then,

just tell her how you felt?

'Cause it wasn't
the right timing.

It was the perfect timing.

You made her feel
better, you're outside,

you're in the moonlight,
on a romantic stroll.

What else do you need?

Nah, I just wanted it to be...

Her to...

I know, it makes me
sound dead cheesy, but-

You? Never!

All right, knows
me a wet Tuesday.

By Friday.

Very good.

So, you're in the friend zone?

So I thought, but the
following morning...

Ah, ah, just the, er,
man I'm looking for.

Ah, morning boys,
how was your night?

Er, good, yeah, you?

Ah stop, I can't
remember a thing.

I've a hangover you could take
a picture of, dying, in bits.

But you know what, great night.

You know yourself.

Right, yeah, that the running
order for tonight's doubles?

Yes indeedy-do!

Well, here's the
thing, er, Judge-

- Your Honour.
- M'Lord.

No, er, just wondering if
there's any chance at all

of, erm, putting
a late entry in?

No need, never let it be said

that I'm a judge
who holds a grudge.

Little firecracker that one,
full of sass, I like her.

[lighthearted music]

[Lloyd] She'd put our
names down for the doubles!

She got there before you?

Yeah.

Went back to me room to get
changed and my plan was,

go find Denise and ask her
what was the story, right?

When all of a sudden...

[knocks on table]

Shut the front door.

Or open the hotel door
actually. [laughs]

Yeah. Who's standing there?

Denise.

No, Cark.

What?

No, Denise.

Ah, you f*ck!

Denise was standing there-

Just a karaoke singer, standing
in front of f*cking eejit,

asking him to be
your karaoke partner.

Yeah.

Erm, yeah, she'd gone back
to her room the night before,

she rang Mark with a C

and told him that it
was over for good.

She said to me that
becoming really good friends

was one thing, but
before we became

really good friends, we should-

If you didn't plant one
on her then and there...

Oh, Lloyd, what did you do?

[lighthearted music]

Did you just shake my hand?

Did you seriously
just shake her hand?

You shook her hand?

Well...

Oh, Lloyd, scarlet for your
ma doesn't even cover it.

Yeah, but we ended
up as partners

that night in the karaoke.

- Now, not as, you know.
- Yeah.

Not in the biblical sense.

Although you probably
wanted to, you know,

butter her toast. [laughs]

On all three sides, yeah.

I don't know what
that means, but okay!

And

we came third.

Ah, no!

[Lloyd] What?

I wanted yous to win.

I know, but we, you know,

it was our first time that...

Oh, and we, er, we got
these little trophies.

I'll show you, I have a picture.

Just...

[oil crackles]

Mm, let's see, er, what else?

Okay, so apart from
letting down the club

and the entire nation
of Belgium this weekend-

Hey!

I redeemed myself.

Ish. No, no, no,
you did, you did.

[Denise] Hm, let me tell
you something Mr. O'Neill.

[Lloyd] Aye, go on.

Watch the Belgian royal
family invite me themselves

personally to see this
magnificent trophy.

Oh, they're gonna throw
parades for you, I'd say.

Parades?

They'll have a national
holiday for me.

The Denise Day where
they'll celebrate the day

that I won the Karaoke Klash.

- Well-
- Third place.

Yeah.

[both laugh]

Tell me, er, tell me
something else about you.

What do you want to know?

Something else embarrassing.

Embarrassing?

Very embarrassing, yeah.

Erm...

I can't tell you that.

- Tell me then.
- No, no, no, no, no.

- Why not?
- You'll think I'm weird.

Oh yeah, 'cause I don't already!

[Denise laughs]

Come on!

My dad and I always used
to go swimming, yeah?

Okay.

And one day we
were doing lengths

and I saw him at the side
of the pool, just resting,

and I swam up to him and
I took his big bald head

and I dunked it
the water. [laughs]

I don't know where
I got the strength,

but I just kept on
dunking and dunking.

Okay.

[both laughing]

What?

And then I saw him swimming by.

Who?

My dad. [laughing]

My dad, my dad.

What, he was just
what? What do you mean?

[laughs] I see him pass me by,

watching me, like,
what are you doing?

Your dad?

Hang on, who was,
who were you dunking?

I don't know. [laughing]

Just some random bald dude.

[both laughing]

That is embarrassing.

That's good, I like that.

[Denise] You tell me something.

You tell me something
embarrassing.

What I couldn't tell her
was that I had me heart

set on moving to Australia.

Did you?

[Lloyd] Mm.

What's embarrassing about that?

What's embarrassing
is that the minute

she walked into me life I just
didn't want to go anymore.

What did you tell her instead?

[gentle music]

It was all romantic.

Yeah, a lifetime ago now though.

Why aren't you in
Spain with her?

Told you, it's, erm-

Yeah, but what are
you not telling me?

'Cause I know there's something.

My spidey senses are tingling.

Dee.

Denise.

Denise, wait.

I just want to go home.

Y-you can't just get up
and walk out during lunch.

I just did.

All right, you did.

One minute we're talking
normally and the next...

I don't know what to do.

Normally?

You're acting like
nothing happened, Lloyd.

No, I'm not, I'm just,

I'm just trying to...

Look, let's not do
this here, okay?

Do you think I care who sees me?

I can't... [crying]

Just let me go back in
and get me stuff and pay,

all right?

[Denise sighs]

I think, er...

What?

I think I need space.

What does that mean?

I can't be around you.

I just, I just want
to be alone, okay?

[Lloyd sobs]

Denise.

You don't have to talk about
it if you don't want to.

There's nothing to talk
about, it's not even, er...

Anyway, enough about
me, waffling all day.

How did you and...

Sean get together?

Sorry you don't have to...

Feels like we were
always together.

No, because I didn't.

[they laugh]

[people chattering faintly]

[pensive music]

Me.

This feels weird.

[Aine sighs]

What are you doing?

This is just... [clears throat]

It's grief.

f*ck off, Gavin.

Do you think it's a brave
thing for someone to do?

Not sure I can answer that.

I think it's a cruel thing.

But Sean was kind.

That's where it sort of gets-

Well, it's an
unfathomable thing, like.

Even though, you know, it
didn't come out of nowhere

or anything, like, when
you think about it.

We'll never get all the answers.

No.

I really wish I could
grab him and shake him

and tell him to hold on.

That things are gonna
get better, do you know?

Sometimes people just...

They can't see that.

She blamed me.

Who did?

[people chattering faintly]

If you weren't able
you should have said.

Liam could have done the eulogy.

It just hit her, Pauline.

Just would have been nice

to have something
said about him.

I froze.

Froze?

[Sandra] Pauline.

Pity you didn't freeze when
you were calling him crazy

and all sorts.

Plenty to say for yourself then.

They were just fights, Pauline.

I never called him crazy.

I heard you, Aine.

Just fights.

Different story when he
was calling me a psycho.

It's amazing how
you never heard it

when Sean was in the wrong.

You were with him every day.

[Aine] I know.

He must have said something.

Did you say something to him,
Aine, that pushed him to this?

Pauline, stop!

[Aine scoffs]

Are you... Don't
you smirk at me!

- What?
- She's not smirking, Pauline.

I know, Aine, what you are.

Ma, stop, come on.

No, please, Pauline,
tell me, go on.

You were supposed
to support him.

She tried, Pauline,
you know she did.

Look at you, laughing
with your mates

like this is a party.

You're a mess!

- This is just shock, love.
- She's upset, she's upset.

No, you were never f*cking
good enough for him.

Pauline, please!

No, it's the truth
though, isn't it?

And everyone f*cking knows it.

Oh, everyone knows it?

Did you know it?

No, that's not the case, Aine.

Did you know it? You?

Lying in a coffin
in front of you

and you couldn't even
say anything about him.

It's okay, love.

No, she was right.

I wasn't any good from him and
he deserved better than that.

Aine.

I know I don't really...

I think you're a lovely person

and you shouldn't
think that way.

I think you're the only person
willing to put up with me.

[Aine chuckles]

My family, Sean's family,
they can't all be wrong.

I'm very happy to be
putting up with you.

Do you ever think, my life's
not supposed to be this way?

[both laugh]

I have to ask you
a serious question.

Okay.

What's brass and
sounds like Tom Jones?

Oh, my God!

Go ahead.

I don't know, what's
brass and sounds-

Trombones. [laughs]

I love you, yes!

No, that's a joke by the way.

Is it?

Well, I don't wanna
freak you out, but...

You know, I...

You know that I am madly in
love with you, don't you?

Yeah, I know.

[Lloyd chuckles]

[insects chirping]

[phone chimes]

Denise, are you good?

Yeah, I'm fine.

[Julia] Denise?

[gentle music]

[Denise] Hi, Mum.

How you and Denise got
together, that's a great story.

There's something I forgot
to ask you actually.

The competition, the night that
you sang, what did you sing?
