Blood (UK) (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

1 It's my dad.
I think he killed her.
One of your frog things is missing.
Dad was here the day that Mam died.
What are you doing? That's Mam's phone.
Listen to that.
How dare you threaten me? He's been lying.
Are you sure this is from Jim? I think he felt sorry for me after the break-in.
Mam took that just before she died.
That's the frog.
Did you take the money, Jim? I mean, why couldn't you leave it alone? Why didn't we just go? Jesus Christ, Dad, you've got to tell me the truth now.
Did you kill her? You wanted the truth, Cat.
You were right.
I killed your mother.
Morning.
Hello.
Sleep all right? I did.
A little.
Good.
Well, OK.
Here we go.
Oh.
That's it.
That's it.
I dreamed I was back in Floods.
Yeah? I was dancing.
There we go.
Now.
Did you know that dogs have sex backwards? What? Arse-to-arse.
Apparently the male turns his whole body around while he's still inside the bitch, then ejaculates.
What are you talking about, Mary? It came up on one of my news feeds.
I think it's fascinating.
When was the last time you saw a dog hump the leg of a chair with his arse? Oh, there's the video.
No, thank you.
Oh, dear god.
I mean, he really does turn around at the end.
Is it the angle, do you think? Why does he turn away like that? Shame, probably.
Morning.
What are you watching? Nothing.
Dogs having sex backwards.
Good thing you specified that or it would have been really weird.
Good morning, Mary.
Dr Hogan.
Oh, yeah.
Patricia's here.
You're ready to go, Dad? Yeah.
How are you today? I'm fine.
How are you, my darling? Late.
I've got a great evening planned for us, though.
Excited? I'm intregued.
Jim.
Patricia.
Look, I'm sorry to keep bringing this up.
No, no, no.
I'm sorry, we're just a bit disorganized.
I promise I'll sort you out tomorrow.
It's not me doing the chasing here.
Very soon the company is going to tell me to stop coming.
Well, it won't come to that.
I promise you, first thing tomorrow you get everything you're owed.
Giving my word on that.
I'm certain your practice would help if things are difficult.
We're fine, we're fine.
Michael, come on! Just trying to help.
I know, Patricia.
I'm sorry.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention any of this to Mary because frankly I don't want her getting worried, you know.
It would be great if she got some of that sun today, you know? See you later, Mam.
Bye.
Listen, Michael, I thought you might be You might be able to drop a couple of shifts.
Give your mother a bit of a hand out at home.
What? You getting rid of Patricia? No, no, I'm just thinking ahead.
Your mother's in decline.
She's not very happy and I thought it would be nice if one of us was about the house during the week, especially.
You know, Fiona's got the kids and Cat's not going to help, so I'll have to ask my supervisors.
They're not very flexible.
OK.
Who knows, you might get a new job going forward, Michael.
Unless you think that Super Price, of course, is your final location.
Why don't you ask Sarah? You pay her enough.
Excuse me? Nothing.
No, don't be a coward.
Go on, just say it.
You pay her rent, Dad.
We all know it.
You can't afford to pay for care and I shouldn't be the one making sacrifices.
This is not about Patricia.
This is not about Sarah.
I'm not trying to cost cut here.
I'm trying to make your mother happy.
Anyway, I pay for you, don't I? You know.
30 years of age, still living at home.
Drop me off here.
I'll walk the rest of the way.
For Christ's sake.
Look, just ask your supervisor.
That's all I'm saying.
I dunno what you think.
Sorry, I You want some more, Barry? If you think it's working.
Erm I'll tell you what, I'll give you a couple of months.
And I'll put you on repeat.
There you are.
You need anything else, give me a call, yeah? Thank you.
Hello.
Hello.
Will I send in the next one? Erm, just give me a minute, yeah? You all right? Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely fine.
Thanks.
Any news from Mrs Corcoran? No.
I've been calling but she's not answered.
It's not like her.
Do you want me to call an ambulance? No, I'll drop in on her.
Really? Are you sure? It's on my way home, yeah.
I could go with you, we'd get a drink maybe after.
I think I need to go home tonight.
OK.
Have you taken it yet? Ach.
Stay still.
Paranoid that Dad's going to show up.
He's going to be late.
He called.
There.
No, wait.
Didn't work.
Mam.
Do you think I'm disappointing? What's your father been saying now? It's just that Cat's all successful with her job and her place.
Fiona's got the kids.
I'm just here working at the Super Price And making your mother very happy.
Now shut up and let me take a photo.
Right.
And hide the spliff.
All right.
There.
Look at that smile.
I look stoned.
You look a little like your father when he was young.
He was the one who grew up doing this sort of thing.
I was a nice well-mannered convent girl until he corrupted me with his wayward influences.
Piss off.
I swear to you.
He was getting high in his bike leathers when I was doing my inter cert.
He was not the man he fancies himself now.
Wow.
So you liked a bit of rough.
He was a sweet little thing really.
Not unlike you.
You should put this on one of those dating apps.
Oh, God, Mam.
Find a nice young man for yourself.
Mam, the only gay men in a 15km radius from around here are priests, priests and priests.
Not really my sort of thing.
I hope you can tell him one day.
Your father.
I want you to be able to talk about things the way we do.
What happened to your arm? Nothing.
I just slipped.
Par for the course.
Mam, I'm thinking about dropping a few shifts.
Helping out around here.
I'm dying, Michael.
I'm not senile.
Yeah, but we'd have some fun.
More fun than you have with your one Patricia.
Mary, Mary.
Where's your diaper, Mary? Go live your life.
You're not going to feel better about me dying just because you spent my final days changing my knickers.
This is wonderful.
Hello.
Rita.
Mrs Corcoran.
Jesus Christ! I've called the police.
Rita.
It's me.
I don't know you.
It's Dr Hogan from the surgery.
You missed your appointment.
You know, we are worried about you.
Look - I brought your prescriptions.
Jim! I couldn't see you there.
How did you get in? Sure, the door was wide open.
Come on, sure.
Sit down.
You're all right.
I haven't really called the police.
No, I know that, dear.
There you go.
Now.
There we are.
I find it hard to stay awake sometimes.
I'm always waking up somewhere.
I never have any idea what time it is.
I don't think you should be drinking, considering the combination of medication you're on, if you don't mind me saying.
I don't mind.
Whether I listen Ah, go on.
You will.
God! You're just a constant source of trouble, aren't you? If you don't join me I'll have to have it all to myself, and the Lord knows what that'll do to my good health.
Ha-ha! Right.
Good luck.
You look like shit.
Easy, now.
Ah, well.
The minstrel boy to the war has gone In the ranks of death you will find him His father's sword he hath girded on And his wild harp slung behind him "Land of song!" Said the warrior bard One faithful harp shall praise thee Jim.
Can you? Yeah.
Of course.
That's all right.
Didn't wake you when I came in last night, did I? I didn't really sleep.
Sorry about that.
Did you go somewhere nice? She doesn't have to be your secret, Jim.
I'd prefer it if she wasn't.
I know our weekend in Paris days are over.
I was with a patient.
She was unwell and needed some company.
Did she now? Fair play to her.
Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of you out of working hours myself.
Look, I'm around for the weekend, the weather's supposed to be nice.
Maybe we could tidy up the garden.
I want to have a proper talk about the future.
And what exactly is it you'd like me to do here, Mary? I mean, I wish I could make things better, yeah? It's Patricia.
Can we pay her today? Dr Hogan.
Have you heard what happened? No.
One of your patients has had some property stolen.
She thinks at some point over the last couple of days.
Rita Corcoran.
That's awful.
It looks like money mostly, but we can't be too sure because, well, she's not entirely clear.
She said you called around yesterday evening, doctor.
Yeah, I did.
Yeah.
You notice anything? Well, I mean, her front door was open, which I found very strange.
I'm surprised she didn't Did she not say anything about that? She missed her appointment.
She doesn't usually, so that's why we were worried.
That's why Dr Hogan went round.
Yeah.
You know, I checked her out, she seemed fine.
Everything was fine when I left.
I might need you to call down to the station and put what you've said in writing.
Nothing serious now, you understand, just so we have all our ducks in a row.
Yeah.
I'm sure we'll find the time.
The sooner the better now, Jim.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Mam, did you see any of my white tops? Shit.
I'm going to be late.
Patricia! Do you have any of my white tops in the wash? I told you to check the cupboards.
There's none there.
Check again.
It's not there.
Patricia! Jesus, Michael.
What did your last slave die of? Oh.
You all right? Yeah.
I was just getting your top.
Thanks.
It's me.
I found something in your drawer.
You might want to find better hiding places in the future.
I don't know what your plans are for the rest of the night but I want you to cancel them and come home.
I want you to explain this to me.
Truthfully.
Don't make me find out some other way.
To replay this message, press 2 Mary here.
Leave a message.
How dare you threaten me! You have no idea.
You don't know the first thing.
I will be home tonight and we will talk about this.
You got my message then.
I got yours.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.
Before you go telling one your stories, I have asked around.
People are saying Rita has been robbed.
Is this why you went to her house? She missed an appointment, I was concerned.
For Christ's sake, Mary! This was a half-pissed, spur of the moment thing.
I didn't plan it! Michael is upstairs.
Look, I I was supposed to give the money back.
I meant to give it back today.
I just wish you'd said something.
If we're in trouble I didn't want to worry you.
You're too proud, Jim.
You're too proud to talk to me.
You're too proud to ask for help.
Now you're behaving like you're still some delinquent from the bog.
For Christ's sake.
What are we doing, Jim? What are we trying to save? I don't know.
We both know this doesn't get any better.
Not for me.
I can barely leave the house.
Our children are grown.
They have their own lives.
I've savoured every last moment with you all.
I've made my final memories.
All I'm doing is waiting.
And now I want to go.
You see, this This is it.
You see, this is it.
This is why I didn't say anything to you.
Because you just think you're a burden.
You aren't a burden.
Mary, you aren't.
This isn't about you.
I've always said there will come a time when I would want to make a choice.
We both know what this thing does.
We know how it ends.
I'll be unable to move or speak or breathe on my own.
I won't wait for that to happen, Jim.
For my body to die before I do.
It's my death, Jim.
I believe I've been spared the last of my faculties this long so I can decide how and why it happens.
You're just depressed, that's all it is.
I can help you with that.
This isn't coming from a place of sadness, my darling.
This is coming from a place of peace.
I want to die happy.
Let me help you.
You know how to help me.
Look, just give me the weekend.
Yes? That's all I'm asking.
Just give me the weekend.
We'll do all the things that you love to do and you'll feel completely differently after.
Just give me the weekend.
Will you do that? This is different.
Yeah, to hell with the weekend, I thought.
I'm going to take a couple of extra days.
Oh! Oh? Yeah.
I'm going to have an extended weekend.
Sorry I couldn't arrange the trip to Paris.
Think we make a good job of it here ourselves anyway.
Will we? We certainly will.
I'll be by your side the whole time, do all the things you want to do.
You won't be able to get rid of me.
No, no, no.
Not that one.
It's dead.
That's not dead.
It's a baby.
It's finding its way in a cruel and complicated world.
Leave it alone.
Cat can't make it tomorrow.
What? Again? You know, how many times is that? I'm sure she's just rushed off her feet.
Yeah.
You'll look after her, won't you? What? Cat.
You'll try with her.
She doesn't ask for help, but she'll need it.
Of course, of course.
I really don't want her to be on her own.
Oh, wow, that shot was all about power and Oh.
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Come on, what are you doing? Up, up, up, up.
All right? That's it.
Come back, let's get you into the chair.
Oh, oh, oh.
Let's get you into the chair, now.
There you go.
Oh, there we are.
Fish, feeding the fish.
It's just the heat, you know.
You're probably dehydrated as well.
Just need to lie down for a bit.

No.
Sister Martina.
