THOMAS:
What, Mum?
-What are you up to?
-What?
Working, why?
John's coming.
Who is John?
Pest control.
Are you wearing makeup?
I just need you to take him
to the basement.
Well, I can't.
I'm busy, okay?
Would you just get down here?
I need a piss first.
Hurry up.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
JOHN:
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-JOHN: I prefer to leave it in.
-[DOOR CREAKS]
Tom, would you take John
to the basement?
And then please clean that room,
yeah?
That's why we got mice.
I can't, Mum.
I'm going out.
Going where?
You never go out.
Yes, I do.
Would you just take him
to the basement first, yeah?
[SWITCH CLICKS]

[CLICKS TORCH]
Just you and your mum
living here then, eh?
Yep.
No dad?
No.
[MICE SQUEAKING IN DISTANCE]
[SIGHS]
Vermin.
[MIMICS MICE]
You give them warmth, food.
They never leave.
Yeah, it's just gonna take long
because I was somewhere to be.
Didn't your mum tell you
you had to clean your room?
Yeah.
I can do what I like, thanks.
I'm a fully grown man.
That you are.
[CLICKS]
That you are.

DANO: [OVER PHONE]
Yo.

DANO: [OVER PHONE]
See?
I can't hear you,
but what you up to?
DANO: [OVER PHONE]
Working, lad.
Why what you sayin'?
You coming down?
Yeah.
Yeah man, no, no,
I thought I'd come down
and say hi.
It's been a--
it's been a while.
[INDISTINCT LYRICS]
[]
Yo, you actually came, my G.
I had to get up the house.
Mate, I've not seen you
in months.
Mum's doing my fucking head in.
What?
Mum.
I think she's dating.
You need to get laid, bro.
[POURS]
Thank you.
DANO:
It's getting a bit pathetic.

[ALARM BLARING]
What the fuck.
[PISS TRICKLING]
Using the toilet.
Hello, mate.
Sorry to bother you while you
almost got your hands full.
[PISS TRICKLING]
Anyway...
I just wanted to say that
um, what I'm trying
to say is,
I'm not just here for the shag.
I do like her.
We like each other.

Yeah, bro, been thinking.
Why don't you come work here?
Get out the house.
THOMAS:
You know I got my portfolio
to work on, man.
I'm busy.
[THUDS]
It's my house too, you know.
It's your mum's house, mate.
She smashes more than you do.
Fuck off.
Just saying, bro.
You seen that Rhea girl?
Who?
The one who asked me to dance.
Out your league, lad.
[MESSAGE RINGTONE]
I did ask around about her,
though,
and apparently
she doesn't even have a phone.
Why are you asking
about her phone number?
She'd have social media either.
So what?
She's different.
She's weird, mate.
I mean, who doesn't have
social media nowadays?
Don't like that.
I do.
I bet you do.
Fucking weirdo.

[FOOTFALLS APPROACHING]
All right?
[SOBS]
Did you slam the door earlier?
No.
Must have been the wind.
Making Spag' bol'.
Will John be eating
with us again?
Do you have a problem with that?
No.
[CRUNCHES]
Your life.
Yeah, it is, and--
and it's my home.
[THUDS]
I think he wants a word
with you later.
About what?
[UTENSILS CLANKING]
JOHN:
I'm moving in.
[LAUGHS]
What?
You can't be serious.
Are you serious?
That's a bit soon, innit?
Not at our age, no.
John has a lovely flat
in Hornsey.
So he can live there.
Well, we were thinking,
you could sublet it.
You kicking me out?
No, of course not.
Yes, she is.
How the fuck am I even going
to pay for rent?
You could get a job
like the rest of the--
Oh what, like a rat catcher?
At least
he has a paying profession.
I told you, Mum, it takes time
to build a portfolio.
How long, Thomas?
How long are you going to
lock yourself away in your room?
Working on your bloody
portfolio.
I'm an artist, Mum.
-It takes--
-No, you're lazy!
I've made it too easy for you.
[THOMAS SCOFFS]
Now my house is filthy.
There's rotting food everywhere.
There's mice upstairs, Thomas.
That's my fault, is it?
Time to cut the apron string,
lad.
Who the fuck even are you?
I don't even know who he is.
[UTENSILS CLANKING]
I'm pest control.
[NERVOUS CHUCKLE]
Are you--
[]
Well.
I thought that went well.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[DOOR CLOSES]
This would be good for you.
I made you spag' bol'
for your dinner.
Thanks.

Right then, that's the lot.
So, electric and gas,

Or Vladimir poo stain.
There you go, and water rates,
council tax.

Five pound?

Don't overthink it,
just go over and talk to her.

Hi, Rhea.
Thomas?
You asked to dance
with me a couple of weeks ago.
You said I was beautiful.
[CHUCKLES]
All right, mate, do you mind?
Take care, beautiful.

[POURS]
What the fuck
did you do that for?
I thought it was funny.
At least you took

[CHUCKLES]
Um...

Where'd she go?
Um.
How'd you find
the bedroom in the dark?
Mm.
I have night vision.
Can I-- can I get you anything?
Do you want, um, coffee?
No, thank you.
Uh, I'm gonna go crush
on the couch.
Okay.
You can sleep here if you want.
Really?
Just gonna-- just gonna go
brush my teeth, yeah.

Let's get laid.
Don't be afraid of me.
I'm not afraid.
What?
Why'd you come home with me?
Maybe you're the one.
Good night.

Ow, ow, ow.

Rhe-- Rhea?
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow,
what are you doing?
No, stop it!
Let go, let go, please!
What the fuck?
Thomas? Thomas?
You taste amazing.
No.
It's just a nightmare,
wake up, Thomas.
Wake up, wake up,
it's a nightmare.
Thomas?
Don't worry.
It will heal very fast.
Don't be afraid.
Do you want me to leave?
Okay.
Shall I leave
my home phone number?
Okay.

Should I go home?
No, no, no. Um...
No, I'll come let you in.
[PHONE HANGS UP]
[DOOR CREAKING]
Hi.
So...
What do you want to talk about?
Are you a vampire?
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
What do you think?
And are there more like you?
I suppose.
How come I haven't turned
into one yet?
You've seen too many movies.
Are you going to kill me?
Of course not.
But you do want
to suck my blood?
Didn't you like it?
So...
Can I come in?

"Are you my sugar momma now
or something?"

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to,

[RHEA CRYING]
Fucking stupid.
[RHEA CRYING]
Rhea?
[RHEA CHUCKLING]
-You're laughing?
-[LAUGHING]
No, that's not fair.
You scared me.
[LAUGHING]
I thought you were burning.
[LAUGHING]
Come on, let's go.
[FOOTFALLS THUDDING]
[]
[MUNCHING]
Now this,
this is real food, you know.
Bet blood don't taste this good,
does it?
Hmm?
It tastes like light.
[CHUCKLES]
Like light, yeah, sure.
RHEA:
From the right person.
[INDISTINCT LYRICS]
[]
Bit weird feeling like
a meal ticket.
[MUNCHES]
Now you know how I feel
all my life.
[UTENSILS CLANKING
IN BACKGROUND]
So how did you actually,
you know, become a vampire?
You have to eat one's heart.
[CHUCKLES]
What?
[LAUGHS]
You--
[CLEARS THROAT]
You actually ate
a vampire's heart?
It was a long time ago.
[]
So sunlight really
doesn't bother you?
I get some eczema.
Eczema?
In the movies
that burn to a crust.
It is crusty.
Look.
Hardly.
[CHUCKLES]
We moved to London because
it's nice and cloudy here.
Who's we?
Me and my old man.
Is he like you then?
No.
He's like you.
So normal.
I should probably
go and see if he's okay.
What, right now?
He's not well.
Okay.
Bye, Thomas.
Thank you for a nice time.
Bye.
I'll see you later, yeah?
Fucking "normal", you idiot.
So, er...
Thomas, tell me.
What have you been up to
the last five, six years?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Mostly working on my portfolio.
Right, so now that's
your work then?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Honing my craft was my priority.
Sure you can handle
a nine to five?
Yeah.
Of course.
Right, your work's good,
but it's not great.
You've got some skills,
but nothing special.
Yeah, being honest,
I've got interns
with a similar skill set.
What uni do you go to?
THOMAS:
The Northern School of Art.
I never heard of it.
Where's that?
Middlesbrough.
Right, okay.
Look, my advice
for what it's worth would be
to take an internship.
Start from scratch, yeah?
Perhaps like you should have
done five or six years ago.
How's that sound?
Yeah.
Thanks.

[TAKING DEEP BREATHS]
Thomas, I don't think
you can handle this.
I can.

You can't even pay electric.
I'll get a job.
With Dano.
Are you sure?
Don't leave.
All my things are there.
We can go and get them, hmm?
Together.
Okay.
Give me a key.
Invite me permanently.
Key?
Yeah, yeah.
What happens
if you don't get an invite?
I get a panic attack.
-Panic attack?
-Yeah, I can breathe.
It sucks.

Not so good today.

I would do it all again.
Get some rest.

This is Rhea.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
Hi.
Hello.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Right, who's hungry?
[MUNCHES]
You're not hungry, Rhea?
I'm on a strict diet.
For my health.
Oh, I'm sorry, are you sick?
I have blood deficiency.
Oh.
This is, er, this is real nice.
So then, Rhea,
[CLEARS THROAT]
do you, er, do you still
live with your parents?
My mother died sixty years ago.
[THOMAS COUGHS]
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
[GULPS]
Well, I'm er--
[CLEARS THROAT]
Very sorry to hear about that.
It's fine.
I live with Thomas now.
You--
[NERVOUS CHUCKLES]
You two live together?
Yes.
Yeah.
Is that a problem?
Well, I raise my glass to that.
[CLINK]
[JOHN CHUCKLES]
It's-- it's as long
as you're happy.
Yeah, I am.
-Thomas.
-Hmm?
Got a bit of a nosebleed
going on.
Oh, shit.
Elevate your head.
John, would...would you just...
Call an ambulance.
An Ambulance,
it's only a bloody nosebleed.
Just call a bloody Ambulance!

Just be careful.

I do feel a bit weak, actually.
You okay?
Don't ever go against me again.
Wha-- what?
Especially
in front of your mother.

I didn't--
I was just trying to...
Next time
I'll rip your fucking head off.

He-- he could barely speak,
but I...
But...
He asked me to feel on him.
And then I...
I bit into him,
but I felt his heart stopped.
[SOBS]
I'm a killer.
No.
No you're not.
I am.
-I'm an animal.
-No.
No, look at me.
Look at me, look at me.
You did nothing wrong.
He was asking for it.
You don't know.
You have a heart.
You have a heart
and this isn't your fault.
Just let me look after you,
okay?
Just...
Let me look after you.
No.
No.
You're just a victim.

DANO:

Yeah, man.
Just, uh...

Oh, it's just one of those,

Bet her pussy feels like silk,
though.
A woman like that.
Oh, shit.
Hey, you sure you can handle it,
yeah?
Just shut the fuck up for once,
please.
Missed a spot, our kid.
RHEA:
Tom?
What are you doing?
[CLEARS THROAT]
I'm working.
I'm hungry.
Hey. I haven't eaten today.
Just have a steak
or something for once.
Are you serious right now?
Rhea, I am exhausted.
I have to feed.
Yeah, well, I'm not.
I'm just your personal
blood bank, all right?
Oh, you're a piece of shit.
What?
Hey, hey, I'm the one getting
the life sucked out of me.
Oh, but you have enough
energy for your stupid drawing.
Well, at least
that makes me happy.
Oh, please, you love having me
suck on you.
Yeah, it feels good.
It feels good like
fucking heroin.
Feels good,
but you are sucking the life
out of me, Rhea.
I knew it.
I knew you were too weak.
[SCOFFS]
Yeah.
Weak like Andreas, hmm?
If I wanted to,
I wouldn't need to ask.
I'm gonna have dinner elsewhere.
Fucking mommy's boy.
[DOOR SHUTS]

[]
Tomo!
Snap out of it, bro.
No slacking tonight, yeah?

Red wine and a bottle of lager,
beautiful.
All right.
Wanna be careful of that one.
What?
She'll bleed you dry.
Can't fucking wait, mate.
What the fuck?
Get your hands off her!
That's my fucking girlfriend.
Is he?
I don't know
what he's talking about.
What?
Are you serious?
We're just friends, Thomas.
Friends who drink
my fucking blood?
You should get back to work.
I thought you wanted more
than just blood.
No,
that's all you are to me.
Meat.
What the fuck
are you doing this to me?
I'm warning you.
Fuck off!
[PUNCH THUDS]
Thomas, what the fuck, man?
[CLAMOURING]
Are you good?
Bro, are you...
[]
[VOCALISING]
What-- what's happened?
You're in hospital.
You're okay.
You fainted, mate.
The doctor says you have
anaemia and high blood pressure.
It's a bad combo, that.
I knew you weren't well.
Where's Rhea?
Where's Rhea?
Don't worry about her.
Nobody's seen her.
Thomas.
[TAKING DEEP BREATHS]
Something's not right
about that girl.
Hmm?

JOHN:
He's nearly 30.
MOM:
He's my baby.
JOHN:
Yeah, well,
you keep telling him that,
and he'll stay one.
You wrapped him in
cotton wool for too long.
And women like her, they prey on
weak young men like him.
He needs to toughen up
and stop being so afraid
of the bloody world
that he needs unhealthy
coping mechanisms.

All right, come on.
Give me the wine.

Where's that?
Middlesbrough.
Right, okay.
Look, my advice
for what it's worth would be
to take an internship.
Start from scratch, yeah?
Perhaps like you should have
done five or six years ago.
How's that sound?
Yeah.
Thanks.

I'm working.
I'm hungry.
Hey. I haven't eaten today.
Just have a steak

Are you serious right now?
Rhea, I am exhausted.
I have to feed.
Yeah, well, I'm not.
I'm just your personal

Oh, you're a piece of shit.

Hey, hey, I'm the one getting
the life sucked out of me.
Oh, but you have enough
energy for your stupid drawing.
Well, at least
that makes me happy.
Oh, please, you love having me
suck on you.
Yeah, it feels good.
It feels good like

I knew it.
I knew you were too weak.
