You all right there? Fine, thank you.
SHE CLEARS THROA - Are you pissed? - No, I'm just sick.
- You sure now? - A bad takeaway.
I'll get your licence anyway.
And I'd like you to submit to a breathalyser.
- You're joking.
- No.
WIND HOWLS You live around here? My family does, I'm just visiting.
- Cathleen Hogan? - Yeah.
Any relation of Jim and Mary's? Yeah, they're my parents.
Go away.
Where have they been hiding you? Haven't seen you around.
I don't come down a lot.
Your mam's great craic, used to serve us pints, down the road there in Floods, before your man sold the place.
Not the same now.
Full of Poles.
What's she up to now, anyway, your mam? Don't see her around.
I know she hasn't been too well.
She's fine.
- DEVICE BEEPS - Oh, here.
OK, you're grand.
Thanks.
Oh, and tell your mam Dez Breen says hello.
Hey.
Hi, Michael.
Sorry I'm so late.
- HE SNIFFS - It's fine.
It's fine.
You haven't missed anything.
DISHES CLATTER Cat.
Thought you'd be here hours ago.
Had to find someone to take the dog.
There's pasta there if you want it.
- Where's Dad? - He's upstairs.
- Leave him be for now.
- He was the one who found Mam.
Can I see her? They're bringing her back in a couple of days, why don't you wait? She'll be all nice and done up them.
She look that bad? If you want to see her, you can.
It was just a suggestion.
She'd hit her head on the flagstones by the pond.
Dad said it would've been pretty quick.
We think she might've slipped or lost her balance or something.
Lost her balance? She was sick, she wasn't frail.
She deteriorated over the past couple of months.
It happens fast.
You knew that.
She never told me.
Well, you were always busy, she didn't want to trouble you.
It's still a shock, like, for all of us.
I mean, she was fine this morning.
Where is Patricia? I thought she was here every day.
I thought it was her job to look after Mam? Dad had a couple of days off.
He told her she could stay home.
Then he got called into the surgery.
Last thing this morning.
Didn't find Mam till he got home this evening.
So, Mam was on her own all day? Don't start, Cat.
This wasn't Dad's fault.
That's not what I said.
I need to go check on the kids.
I'll be back in the morning.
- Try to get some sleep.
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Cat! I'm so sorry, Dad.
Did you see your brother and sister? Do you want to talk about it or? Erm No I I just want to get some sleep, if that's all right.
I'm so sorry, kitten.
Such a terrible thing.
MOBILE BUZZES SOUND DISTORTS BANGING BIRD TWEETS Did you bring a change of clothes? Yeah, I did.
I just - What's that you got there? - It was lying in the grass, Mam's brooch.
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah, that's where she fell.
It was a beautiful, sunny day.
It was very bright.
I didn't notice her at first, you know, I I thought she was lying on the ground, you know, the way your mind can I tried to resuscitate her.
But she had been gone a long time.
What happened to your hand? Oh, just broken glass, a bit of a cut.
Are you going to Michael's gig? I mean, I know your mother would want it to go on, so I think you should come.
Michael said you found her in the evening.
Yeah.
It's just you said how bright it was.
Yeah, that's right.
One of your frog things is missing.
I don't know if you'd noticed.
No.
The gardener was in last week.
Maybe I could ask him about it, he might know.
We're not going to have any trouble, you and I, Cat, are we? No.
Good.
Hi, Sarah.
Oh, my God, Cat.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
- It's been ages.
- Yeah.
I know.
What can I do for you? Does Jim need anything? I actually came to see if he left his coat.
He can't find it.
I wondered if he'd left it here yesterday when he was at work.
Yesterday? Er Yeah.
What time did he leave? He wasn't actually in yesterday.
Did he say that he was? Er No, I must have got it wrong.
- Everything's a bit - Sure, sure.
- Look.
Let me check for you anyway.
- Oh, no, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Sorry to trouble you.
- Are you sure there's nothing you need? - Yeah, we're fine, thanks.
Oh, my God! Barry! Yeah.
Sorry, I saw you coming out of the shop.
I was going to call you to say I was here but Don't worry, like, you've got enough to deal with.
How are you? Actually, pretend I didn't ask that.
Sorry.
Look Do you fancy a cup of tea or? I've got to get back but Michael's band are playing later at Flood's.
It'll be horrendous, but Please come.
- Sure.
Sold.
- Great.
I'll see you there then, around eight.
- Yeah, sure.
- Can't wait.
VOICEMAIL: Hi, this is Claire.
Please leave your name and number after the beep and I'll get back to you.
- PHONE BEEPS - Claire, it's me.
Could you give me a call? It would be nice to know if Maggie's still alive.
Hello.
Hello.
Cathleen.
I'm sorry you couldn't make it.
But we'll have a wonderful service for your mother, don't you worry.
I'm sure the others will fill you in on everything important, OK? You take care now.
I think your mother would probably like this one here Why didn't you time with the priest was coming? I hear you just arranged everything without me.
- Dad told you the priest was coming.
- No, he didn't.
- He didn't! - I tried to call you.
- Dad, you never told me the priest was coming.
- I'm sure I did.
- No, you didn't! - I'm sure I told you this morning.
Maybe you just meant it and you forgot, you know? - Yeah, sure, OK, let's go with that.
- No, Dad, Cat forgot.
I didn't fucking forget, Fiona.
- I wasn't fucking told.
- OK, guys Do you honestly think I'd choose not to be here for this, - for planning Mam's funeral? - So, Dad's just making things up? Hang on, hang on! He wasn't at work when Mam died.
That's what he said but he wasn't.
I saw Sarah from school, from the surgery, in town, and she said you weren't in yesterday, so - .
.
where were you? - I was making house calls.
Dad, you don't have to explain yourself.
Yes, I know, Fiona, thank you but I will.
They weren't on the books so Sarah wouldn't have known.
A couple of elderly patients rang me up personally.
Your mother told me to go and, of course, I've been regretting it ever since.
He didn't tell me.
You're mad.
They Don't Laugh MUTED APPLAUSE, PEOPLE CHA They don't laugh They don't laugh They don't laugh They don't laugh MUSIC FADES OU - You all right there? - Yeah.
Fine.
Bringing back good memories Yes, how are you? Yeah, hang on, there's a lot of people here.
Let me have a look.
I could bring it around tonight.
Ha! Lucky you! Oh, yeah, no, it's here, no problem.
I can do that.
Hey.
Look, I'm sorry.
I got defensive, I said some stupid shit.
I didn't mean to upset you.
- You should apologise to Dad.
- I will.
Wait I know this is a bit random but, off the top of your head Does Mam Did mam have a, like, a red top, a cardigan type thing? Not that I know of.
Why? Just .
.
thinking about what we should bury her in, you know? You want Mam to be buried in a red cardigan? No, I was It was just an idea.
You just write the eulogy, OK? I'll handle the other stuff.
I'd like to dedicate this next one to my mam.
It was one of her favourites.
Sorry I'm late.
- You came.
- Thought I would, yeah.
MIC FEEDBACK WHINES - Oh! - Christ.
Hasn't changed much in here since my dad's time.
Get us a bottle? I'm meant to be going easy.
OK.
Cheers.
You know, I've really missed you, Barry.
I missed you.
Let's get wankered.
WIND HOWLS Oh, shit.
Oh! THUNDER ROLLS DOOR BANGS, KEYS RATTLE FOOTSTEPS APPROACH KNOCKING ON DOOR Cat, it's Michael.
Are you in there? Open the door.
KNOCKING CONTINUES Cat.
Are you in there? Jesus! - You scared the shit out of me for a minute.
- What time is it? Six am.
Fuck.
What happened to you? I don't know, I think I fell.
What, into the garden bins? I was looking for something.
- We've mass this morning.
- I'm not going to fucking mass.
Yes, you are! We're meeting with the priest after to go over Mam's funeral, unless you want to miss that, too.
MESSAGE: Hey, Mam.
Thanks for the book.
I'll call you later and we'll catch up.
Love you.
MESSAGE: Hi, it's Trevor, Mrs Hogan.
Can you give me a call, please? JIM: How dare you threaten me! You've no idea, you don't know the first thing.
LINE BREAKING UP: Tonight we will about this Did you have a nice time with Barry? - Yeah, it was good.
- He's been through a lot, you know.
Did he say anything? He tried to kill himself last year.
It's odd, isn't it, how these things sometimes run in families.
He was nearly the same age as his dad was.
OK.
Let's go.
- I'm going to take my own car.
- Right.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
Mass has ended, go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
QUIET CHATTER What is it? Cat.
Cat! WHISPERS: Oh, God.
Bobby, don't open the doors, OK? I'm so sorry.
Is everything OK? Yeah.
Do you want to come in? I'll put a coffee on.
Sorry, it's a mess.
I saw you at mass today.
It was a nice service.
Yeah.
- Do you go to mass in Dublin? - No.
I couldn't live in the city, you know.
It's great if you're single but it's expensive for a family.
I'm sorry.
I'm - What is it you wanted? - Are you sleeping with my dad? - What? - I don't really know how else to say it.
I saw that cardigan in his car.
- Did he bring it round last night? - My child is here.
Are you having an affair? - Get out of my house.
- Was Mam getting in the way? Did Dad make plans? Did you? They always said you were mad.
Where did you go? Come on.
What is it? What are you doing? That's Mam's phone.
Listen to that.
How dare you threaten me! You've no idea, you don't know the first thing LINE BREAKING UP: Tonight we will about this There was this red cardigan in dad's car, it belonged to Sarah.
You know, Sarah from the surgery, from school.
He was around there last night.
Who returns a cardigan to another woman in the middle of the night barely two days after your wife has died, unless something is going on? I think Mam found out and that's why Dad keeps changing his story.
And now you think I'm crazy.
And I didn't want to tell you but he's been lying - about all of it! About everything.
About Sarah What if something happened Mam knew about Sarah.
We all knew about Sarah.
Mam agreed to it.
She wanted to Dad to move on from when she - It wasn't a secret.
- Well, I didn't know.
We spoke nearly every week, why didn't she tell me? Michael, why didn't YOU tell me? Dad.
Dad told you not to.
Mam told us not to.
Oh.
You weren't around, like we were.
It's not like you were going to notice that Dad was shagging someone else.
Mam knew how you felt about Dad.
She just thought it would be best that you didn't know.
I wasn't going to break a promise.
So, that's where he was when he said he was at work.
He was That is why he feels so guilty.
If Mam knew and it was all fine, then what's with that message? They had fights, you know? - There's a statue missing.
- What statue? By the pond, one of the frogs.
There's blood on the he had a cut on his hand.
Dad wouldn't hurt Mam! That isn't who he is.
It's just not, OK? This has to stop.
Please.
You have to stop.
Just need to leave some clothes at the undertaker's, for Mam.
I thought maybe the what she wore for Granda's 90th.
Fine.
It's just last night you seemed to have an opinion, so I thought I'd ask.
No, it's grand.
Cat, you come with me.
- I'll come with you, Dad.
- No, you're all right, Fiona.
Cat, come on.
Why are we stopping here? I wanted to show you something.
Are you coming? Your mother thought this place was so beautiful, it was holy.
She used to bring me here to pray when we were kids.
Not that I was much of a Catholic, you understand, but I'd have done anything to be with her.
Flirt with her, done anything she said, really.
It's very hard, Cat, to watch the woman you love, who dragged you through the mud to pray, who could climb mountains, who brought up your children gradually lose the use of her faculties.
I I mean, we did our best to cope, you know? We lived as healthy and fulfilling a life as we could and .
.
Mary never made me feel guilty.
She was wonderful, right to the end.
It's funny, you know Somehow, these days, I find myself wanting to pray.
I loved your mother more than anything, Cat.
And what we agreed was between us.
It was our business.
And it was mutual.
I never betrayed her and I never hurt her.
I never said So if you go to Sarah one more time or if you undermine me again, I swear to God, you'll never be allowed in the family home again.
Now, do you understand me? SHE GASPS Do you understand me? Yes.
- Garda Breen? - Cathleen Hogan? - Could we talk? Sure, yeah.
Come in, I'll make you a cup of coffee.
Actually, I'd prefer it if we could go somewhere else.
I just don't want this to be on any record.
Whatever it is, you're safest in there, I promise you that much.
HE SCRUBS It's my dad.
I think he .
.
he hurt my Mam.
I think he killed her.
- I think maybe he hit her with one of these stone frogs by the pond.
- Right.
It should've been on the ground right where Mam was but it's gone.
Maybe he left blood on it.
I tried to look for it.
He had a cut on his hand! Right.
So, you think your dad did all this because he had a new girlfriend and your Mam wasn't dying fast enough? If you don't believe me, just say and I'll go.
What do the others say? Hm? Have you discussed it with them? I tried telling my brother.
- It sounded batshit.
- Well, it's it's a hard thing to hear about your dad.
I'm sure most people wouldn't want to believe it.
He's never seen that side of him.
Neither of them have.
SOUND DISTORTS Once you've seen it, it's always there.
SCREAM ECHOES He is more than capable.
Look, I can see you're worried.
Let me have a word with my superiors, see if we can look into this.
I won't put the wrong word in the wrong ear.
I'm a friend, Cat.
Trust me.
When are burying your mam? Well .
.
it's the wake tomorrow.
The funeral's the day after.
Maybe after that we can go for a drink.
INDISTINCT VOICES SHOUTS - Barry.
- Cat.
You're early.
I heard about what happened.
That you haven't been well.
The kettle's just boiled.
Do you want any tea? Sure.
I should have stayed in touch.
I'm sorry I didn't.
It's not like I was ringing you every other night.
You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
Do you know what, there's enough misery in the world.
Do you want to do something fun? Fun sounds good.
You're very quiet.
Is everything all right? Why did you tell Cat you were at the surgery when Mary died? Oh, Sarah, come on.
If you knew what she was like! That's why I told her.
Just as well telling her one thing over another.
Everything would have been fine if she hadn't spotted your cardigan.
So, where were you actually, if you had to hide it from her? Nowhere important.
I mean, how the hell was I to know she was going to show up? Anyway, everything's OK.
I'm just sorry I didn't warn you.
Now, I've a question.
Go on.
What do you think of Portugal? - Portugal? - Mm, you know, Porto, Lisbon, the Algarve - SHE LAUGHS - What, so are we going on holiday? No.
We're leaving.
That was the plan, wasn't it? SHE SIGHS What's wrong? Jim, your wife has just died.
I hadn't forgotten.
So, you don't think this is all a bit of a rush? Well, look, you said you wanted to go.
Didn't think you'd meant right now! I thought we'd years to think about it.
- What's to think about? - I have a child, Jim! I still have my stupid bloody husband.
I can't just drop everything.
You shouldn't be smoking in here.
How would we even pay for all this? I'm selling the house.
- You're selling the house? - Yeah.
Do your kids know that? Has my daughter managed to scare you off? Is that what's going on here? I just think this is all a bit mad, that's what's going on.
Hold on.
I've got something for you.
I had wanted a better moment, but - What's this? - This is what I was doing.
I was buying the ring when Mary passed.
I'd watched Mary dying for years.
I'd watched the marriage die with her but just knowing .
.
that you were there, knowing that you were going to be there after That's what kept me going, you know? She looked so well that morning.
I really I hadn't intended to be away all day, but I bought the ring and I was just I don't know, happy to be away, I suppose.
When I got home, she was gone.
So, you can see You can see why I didn't want to tell Cat or the others.
Oh, my God.
Look, I didn't mean to give it to you this soon, all right? I wanted a better moment but I didn't want you to think I wasn't serious.
- I'm married, Jim! - I know, Sarah.
It's a gift, I'm not proposing.
So, what have you told Cat? And what do the other two know? I don't want any more angry visitors.
Look, Michael and Fiona .
.
they think I was with you.
And, as far as I understand, Cat believes the same.
You told them that? No, no, no, no.
No, they made an assumption, you know? Do you want me to correct them, tell them I was out buying a ring for you with money I don't have while their mother was dying at home? I'd rather you not include me in all these lies, Jim! Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
I was just trying to keep things simple.
It's all right, it's going to be fine, look, nobody is going to ask.
But even if they do .
.
it's not a lie anyway.
I should get back to work.
No, no, keep it.
Keep it.
Think about what you want to do.
Where we're going to go from here.
KNOCK ON DOOR Yes? Looks like Rita Corcoran hasn't shown up for her appointment again.
- OK.
- Should I call her? - No, no, no, I'll do that.
I've got a few minutes.
I also want to apologise to you.
I'm sorry if I came on a bit strong, you know? Sorry if I upset you.
It was never my intention.
I want you to take it back.
And I want us to take it easy for a bit.
I need some time to think.
All right.
I'll send in the next patient.
Christ! I can't even get out of this room! I used to be so good at this.
- Go on, bitch, I'm coming for you.
- At least let me get a better gun.
- No! - It's not fair! I'm done.
I'm calling it a bloody draw.
Oh, would you get lost? You still can't handle my A-game realness.
Oh, that's what that was! I'm so drunk.
Shit! It's dark outside.
Here, look, wait until I finish this off before you go.
Could I stay? Oh, but I don't want to be weird.
- No, no, I'd love you to stay.
- I mean, I can absolutely go.
- Do what you like.
- It's just - I'd love you to stay.
Why did you stop coming back? This place .
.
brings back .
.
bad memories.
I hope not all bad.
No.
Our families used to be so close.
I always wondered what happened.
Dad died and then everything started to fall apart.
I always wondered if you knew what happened.
Why? Cat? We were here.
That day.
Me and Dad, we came to your house.
I knew you weren't there so I didn't know where we were.
Dad wouldn't tell me.
He was angry, angrier than I'd ever seen him.
I thought he was going break down the door.
But your dad lets him in.
I was starting to worry.
So I went to see .
.
what was going on.
Your dad was on the floor.
Mine standing over him, screaming at him.
I don't know, I That night .
.
your dad killed himself.
I told Mam what happened but .
.
Dad called me a liar.
He said we hadn't even been here, that I'd just made it all up.
He alienated me from my whole family and even I believed it, eventually, that I was wrong or that I was just a liar.
But I wasn't.
I remember now.
I know.
Because he's done it again and no-one will believe me now because no-one believed me then and that's why I wanted to tell you because I .
.
was hoping that you would .
.
believe me.
What do you mean again? I think he killed my mam.
Barry.
I thought I'd called.
I'm so sorry.
Not at all, Rita.
I just wanted to check up on you to see if you're all right, you know? You're so kind, Jim.
I don't like to leave the house.
I was burgled, you know.
- I do, yeah.
- They took all my money.
And the remote.
I don't know what they would want with the remote.
Oh Now, do you mind if I listen to your heart? If you can find one.
Ha! Stop it! Now You're a true saint, Jim.
Not many like you around here now.
You care about people.
Keep your children close, Jim.
Don't end up like me.
SHE HUMS A TUNE Did I tell you I was the one who found him? My dad.
He was in his study.
He'd drunk a bottle of Irish and hung himself.
Which I thought was odd because he usually drank scotch.
There's several spare bedrooms upstairs, you can pick whichever one you like.
I'm going to bed.
Barry? Jesus Christ! Scared the shit out of me.
Hello.
How you doing? Good boy.
It's OK.
Let's get it you downstairs.
Come on.
You're a lovely little fella, aren't you? - BREATHLESSLY: Oh, Jesus! Oh, fuck - You didn't come home.
I was worried about you.
I tried calling but you didn't pick up.
I was asleep.
Barry looks very shook, is he all right? Did he ask you to come here? No.
Cat, I've just been with a patient, you know, Rita.
She's really not very well.
Her mind certainly isn't what it used to be.
I mean, the kids don't see her any more.
Husband died a while back.
And she's on her own, really.
Look This isn't how things are meant to be between us, Cat.
I could not bear it if your mother's funeral is the last time you and I speak.
Now, I know I said some things to you and I know I've done some things to hurt you.
I have only ever wanted to keep you safe, Cat.
How can that possibly be true, Dad? What world are you living in? Will I see you at the wake? Yeah.
I'll let you get some sleep, then.
I love you, Cat.
PHONE RINGS Hello.
I'm driving.
No! It's my mother's wake.
INDISTINCT VOICE ON PHONE OK.
Where do you want to meet? Did you buy cake? It's in there with the crisps.
- Michael, are you joking? - It was all they had.
I don't want people standing around my mother's body eating the face off Thomas the bloody tank engine! - That's actually Tony the train.
- It's a children's birthday cake! - Yeah, well, maybe if dad had have put some money towards caterers - Stop it.
- And where do you think it all went? - Where do you think what all went? Nothing.
Look, the undertakers are going to be here in an hour, so I'm going to set up the living room.
No sign of Cat yet.
She'll be here soon.
OK.
OK.
How do I look? I've put on a few pounds, I mean No, you haven't.
You look great.
Thank you, Fiona.
Patricia can't make it.
She sends her love but it's best appearances tonight, everybody.
Please make sure that Cat gets the message, all right? And Michael, don't you have a comb? Did Cat stay over at Barry's? I told Cat about Sarah.
- Christ, Michael! - Look, she'd figured it out.
I just couldn't keep lying.
We should have told her in the first place.
How does she always manage to make you feel so sorry for her? We were calling her crazy when we knew she was right! Will you keep your voice down? Dad already knows, I already told him.
Look, he was going to find out! Anyway, Cat's fine with it.
It's not going to be a problem.
What? I'm just trying to keep the peace here, Fiona.
I'm sorry if that's an issue.
Cat's out for blood, Michael.
She's going to use this to attack Dad.
Yeah, well, maybe she has a right.
Look, he's not a saint, Fiona, and you take his side every, single time.
Will you just take them into the living room? Hey, thanks for coming.
Look, I'm going to take a whole tonne of shite for being late to my mam's wake, so, if you don't mind.
Jim wasn't with me The day your mam died.
He said that's what you thought.
Where was he? He told me he went to buy a ring.
Like a promise ring.
But I don't know.
It felt funny.
Why would he have all these lies just for that? So, I went to the shop.
I know it sounds mad but I wanted to be sure.
And, apparently, he did buy a ring.
That ring.
Just not on the Friday when you're mam died, like he said.
On the Saturday.
So, he's lying to me, too, about where he was.
- Why would you do that if - If he didn't have to.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe there's another other woman.
I just can't help but worry he's made me his alibi for something.
I thought you should know because, well, you're clearly worried about him, too.
I should go.
Good luck with your wake.
Sorry.
Come on, why don't we go finish up in the kitchen? Oh, for Christ's sake, Michael, will you calm down? Dad, it's upsetting him.
I'm not going to have him in a different room from the rest of us while the wake is going on.
He can just man up for his mother.
She looks lovely, doesn't she? Dad was worried about you last night.
You'd disappeared.
Well, he found me.
Look, no histrionics tonight, all right? Let's just mourn.
That's a bit poetic for Dad.
Did he tell you to say that? Will you put these in the pot and then move it to the hob? PAN SIZZLES Don't worry, Fiona, I'll behave.
SH GASPS You all right? You should be more careful.
- Would you like a glass, Cat? - No, you're grand, Kieron.
If you'd all please join me around Mary's coffin.
- How's your hand? - Fine.
- Who's he? He's new.
- He's just the window cleaner.
Window cleaners come to wakes? HUSHED CHATTER WHISPERS: Dad moved one of those frog things yesterday.
- What? - At the pond, he was cleaning and he moved a frog like he was .
.
he was trying to cover a gap.
Are you saying you don't trust him either? I'm saying let's all move a frog.
In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
All right? I scrubbed that up, you know, I thought it would look a bit morbid with all these people coming.
Haven't seen your brother, have you? It's just he was supposed to be looking after your cousin, Kieron.
Uncle Paddy said he just found him pissing on the drive.
Apparently, he's been on the wine.
No.
Don't stay out too long, Cat.
- No, stop, stop.
- What? - My mam's body is literally downstairs.
She's not looking.
No, no.
My dad doesn't know.
- You said you were out.
- I am, just not to my dad.
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Just let me get you off.
HE PANTS Come on.
You'll feel better.
A good memory for a bad day.
OK, OK, just do it quick.
- Jesus! - Whoa! Just looking for the toilet.
Sure, be my guest.
Shit! - WICKO LAUGHS - It's not funny, Wicko! - What if he says something? - Who cares? - I do.
It's the last Rosary.
You're a grown man.
And a massive fucking gay.
Sh! Own it.
Your fly's undone, by the way.
Piss off! The stew is wonderful.
Thank you, Fiona.
It was Mam's recipe.
How is your hand, Cat? It's fine.
So, why aren't you eating? Some really good people there tonight.
Some very good people.
I mean, I wish you'd come and spoken to them.
They were all asking for you.
Fine.
Wonderful stew, Fiona.
Thank you.
I think I'll go to bed.
Actually, Dad, there's something I wanted to talk about with everyone here.
I'm sure it can wait until the morning.
So, I talk to Sarah and she said you weren't with her the day that Mam died.
- She doesn't know where you were.
- Jesus, help us, not again.
She told me about some promise ring that you were busy buying her but, - apparently, that's not true, either.
- Christ, what ring? So, he wasn't at the surgery, he wasn't making house calls and he wasn't with Sarah.
You can ask him yourselves.
He left threatening messages on Mam's phone, he threatened me in the middle of nowhere because I was asking questions.
I can't be the only one here still wondering where the hell he actually was and why he keeps lying about it.
And where the hell were you, Cat? What? You were never here.
You had absolutely no idea what was happening to us, to this family, or what may or may not have been going on.
You didn't even know how sick your mother was.
She was out there on that walker the day she fell.
The one I told her not to use, who nought her that, hmm? Are you being serious? That reminds me, you were very late that day.
Where were you? I know what you're doing.
You've told enough tall tales in your time, Cat.
Don't expect anyone around this table to take this seriously from you.
You need help, Cat.
Me? He pays your mortgage.
He pushed the priest to let your thick fucking kids into that fancy school.
He lets you live here rent-free.
That's why you're sitting there saying nothing because he's bought you.
He's targeted you both with his love and his generosity so you can't see EXACTLY what he is.
And what exactly is that, Cat? Sarah and I have split up.
Largely, I presume, to the prying of your sister.
I don't know why Sarah told Cat all these things but probably to get back at me.
But, anyway, we split up.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
But .
.
it's only just happened and I'm sorry that this has got so out of hand.
Where were you, Dad? You still haven't said.
Really, Michael? I think your mother would be appalled by all this.
