Marley's Ghosts (2011) s02e03 Episode Script

I think it just moved.
What? The vase.
I've been staring at it for an hour and I think I just moved it with my mind.
I wanna see if we can develop some sort of physical presence.
Why don't we all gather round and really concentrate on it? 'Cause then we'd all look like idiots.
Did it just move? Little bit.
Really? - No.
Not taking this seriously, are you? We're trying not to.
Oh yeah, surprise it, that'll work.
Worth a try.
No it wasn't.
Wanna go see Marley? - Yeah.
The camera never lies Mr Frensham, so in your own words please tell the court how this fight started.
I needed a new radio, it was the last one on special offer.
I needed a radio.
- She snapped my stick.
- Yeah, well I'm sure Mrs Gotley didn't mean to.
- I bloody did.
Just 'cause he's blind, doesn't mean to say he gets the radio.
He needed a radio.
She deserves special consideration though, 'cause she's old.
He's blind.
She's achy.
He bumps into things.
- She dribbles.
He can't see his face.
She doesn't even want to see her face.
Can't believe I said that.
That's not very vicary, was it? Sorry.
Sorry Why are you here? Just bored.
So you thought you'd come and annoy me? What's she say? She said we're annoying her.
No I didn't.
Yes you did.
I'm blind, I can hear better than everybody else.
No, I, er - I don't mean to be annoying.
Oh.
- Oh, that's nice.
You made an old lady cry.
Oh, that's not very nice, Marley.
You can be very cruel you know, sometimes.
Money's tight.
I don't - Why are you telling her? She doesn't care.
Yeah, I do care.
It doesn't sound like it.
As far as you're concerned, we're just annoying.
Look, I'm here to help.
I'm a magistrate.
Who shouts at blind people and makes old ladies cry.
I do other things.
Like what? Things.
You know, caring things.
Like what? Fundraising, charity work? I mean, when you're not shouting at blind people or making old ladies cry what is it that you do that's so caring, hmm? I'll show him who cares, I'll show him sacrifice.
He wants charity, I'll give him charity.
What's happening? We've just found out Marley's not very charitable.
I'm extremely charitable.
That's not what the blind man said.
What blind man? - Blind man she shouted at.
I did not shout at - OK, I shouted.
At a blind man.
- Yes, at a blind man.
And now a vicar.
Oh.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are - what are you doing? Yeah, we're selling everything we don't need, giving it all to charity.
Where did we get this? Antique shop on the high street about six years ago.
Oh, must be worth something.
- You paid eight hundred pounds for it.
Right, er, what about this? Nine hundred.
Okay.
Er Oh, yes Er Yeah, how about this? I made that at school when I was eight years old.
- This we can sell.
- Why? It's for charity, Adam.
It's just always been with me.
I made that with my own hands.
So selfish.
Why don't you think about others for once, Adam, hmm? Where are you gonna sell it? It's all in a good cause.
50p to win.
50p a go.
Spin to win.
See? I care.
Course you do.
Gave up my garden.
Yes, you've done wonders Marley - ADAM: Marley.
You can't sell this.
Put it under the stall, we'll take it in later.
Marley.
You can't sell this.
Put it under the stall, we'll take it back later.
Thank you Jill.
Or to the tip? What do you know? That's hand crafted.
Two terms' work, that is.
- Ah! - Sorry, sorry.
Mrs Wise? - Mrs Wise? - Yeah.
- Are you here? - Mrs Wise I'm here.
- Ryan.
Mrs Wise? He's nice.
- He's not.
Hi Ryan, how are you? Thanks for inviting me.
- Yeah.
Sound of things, it's a success.
Yes, it is.
Huge.
I organised everything.
Gave up my money, time, home.
It's called charity.
Now, if you'll excuse me I need to, er head off and be a bit more, um, charitable.
That's a rather wonderful scent.
Thank you.
Is it French? Brut for men.
Pungent, but - oh, I see.
Glad you like it.
I think you're in there, son.
I'll leave you to it.
I'm Jill.
This is very tactile.
It's an oddment.
I'm on oddments, bits and bobs, bric-a-brac.
Say bric-a-brac again.
Say what? - Bric-a-bac.
Bric-a-brac.
- Once more.
Bric-a-brac.
You've got a fantastic mouth.
You can't see my mouth.
I'm starting to imagine it.
Mmm.
Well done.
50p a go.
Spin to win, it's all in a good cause.
50p a go.
Your friend Jill seems nice.
Everyone here is happy to help.
You've done a wonderful thing.
- Yes, she has.
Gonna help a lot of people.
Thank you Ryan.
- Poor people.
Blind people.
- Old people.
So much tragedy.
Makes you wanna cry; - Yeah.
Oh.
What's that for? - Your tears probably.
You said you wanted to cry.
Oh, not now.
Why not now? You're surrounded by so much heartache.
If ever there was a time to cry it would be now.
Oh, um Are you crying? Yep.
There.
There's a tear.
No, that's a stye.
Oh, you've got a stye coming.
You sure it's not a tear? Let me touch your face.
Oh, um You've got a very cruel face.
- Thanks very much.
Sort of witchy.
Like a Like a cruel witch.
I'm guessing you've heard this before.
- No, no, you're the first.
Any closer to tears.
I'm getting there.
I think I'm gonna see where Jill is.
Good luck with the tears.
Maybe you just can't cry.
I can cry.
I can't cry.
Course you can cry.
You're a wonderful, sensitive woman.
Then why can't I cry? What did you feel when Adam died? Relief.
- No.
Joy? - Michael, that's not helping.
You cried on our honeymoon.
Did I, or did I fake it? Possibly a theme of the honeymoon.
We had a wonderful honeymoon.
We did.
We were in love.
I love you both.
And you were both taken from me.
And I tried to deal with it.
With the pain and the loss.
Feeling alone.
Anything? No, no, that's definitely a stye.
I'm having dinner with that Ryan.
You know, blind, gorgeous.
Oh yeah? - Got a new skirt.
It would go great with that blue top of yours.
I mean, I wanna look nice.
Why, he's blind? Oh God I'm a terrible person.
Sorry, Jill.
It might not fit but try it on anyway.
Oh.
It's dark and the streets are bitter cold.
Huddling in the doorway, rain lashes into the face of a starving old man.
Anything? No.
That one always makes me sad.
Well, you've obviously got a heart and I haven't.
And you're dead.
Marley? Oh, you're really getting the hang of this running thing now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was thinking about running the London Marathon, you know, or something for charity.
Yeah, yeah.
I ran the London Marathon once.
Oh no, no, I watched it.
Watched it on telly.
- Took hours.
It was exhausting.
Maybe I should've done some training.
Shall we - let's take a break.
Oh Marley.
- What? - Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
It's just Jill and Ryan having it Jill? Hi Marley.
Hi Miss Wise.
I need a wee.
Oh.
There's a big tree right ahead of you.
Do you want me to help you? No I can do it.
Oh.
So sad.
Mum? What makes you sad, Jill? My arse.
Never been happy with it.
No, I meant, er - - RYAN: Jill, where's the tree? It's right in front of you.
He is insatiable.
And so gentle.
He hasn't had it easy though.
Apparently he's got a rotten brother.
Oh dear.
Bossing him around, laughs at him.
Ryan said to me that I make his life happy.
Oh.
Good for you, Jill.
I've just had the most wonderful few days.
- Yeah.
He's talking about moving in.
Ow.
- You okay, Ryan? - Yeah, yeah, I, I can do it.
He's like a child, just Are you laughing? No.
A blind man just walked into a tree Marley, that is not funny.
Not funny.
Tragic.
Yeah, tragic.
It's very tragic.
Yeah.
You didn't see the funny side? No.
No, nor did I.
No.
Like when old women crash their mobility scooters, that's, that's not funny either is it? It's not.
No it's not.
- No, no it's not.
No.
Not even a tiny bit? No.
- No.
Oh, my darling, you haven't done your zip properly.
It, it's not all packed away.
Well, don't look.
I can't cry at the right things I laugh at the wrong things.
What's the matter with me? When I proposed you cried.
That was you.
Oh yeah.
William and Kate's wedding.
You cried, you really blubbed.
You again.
The Titanic.
- Mmm.
When the ship had gone down and they were hanging onto the raft.
Still you.
You cried at Titanic? Everyone cries at Titanic.
Yeah.
That bit at the end when they're in the water.
It's freezing cold and their lips have gone all blue.
And she's just trying to hold onto him, just trying to get him through just till help arrives.
It's too late though and he just slips away.
But we know her heart will go on.
Oh, stop it, all of you.
I'm obviously not like other people.
I'm incapable of feeling what others feel.
Help! Help me! Help! Help me! Help! Help! Help! Guys.
Help! Help me.
I can see.
- What? Probably stuff you wouldn't want me to, but I don't know what - how Oh god, look, can someone explain it to him? Explain what? The good news is you can see.
Woo-ho-hoo! Brilliant, and you can just go anywhere, anytime? What's going on? Is he alright? Alright? I'm awesome.
I can see.
Is that me? Yep.
Oh, I am gorgeous.
I think I'm gorgeous.
Am I gorgeous? I don't know about faces.
Is this gorgeous? What's his face? What would you call his face? Grotesque.
Seriously? - Seriously grotesque.
I am not! - Why is that lady crying? That's your Jill.
That's Jill? No.
Yeah.
That's the woman who loved you, cared for you, put a smile back on your face.
What? She's not twenty-five.
She told you she was twenty-five? She's had her hands all over me.
Do you know what, you weren't particularly nice when you were blind.
Now you're just horrible.
Who cares what I am? I can see.
Oh Jill.
How did he die? It was that hideous bloody lamp from your jumble.
I think hideous is a bit harsh.
Ryan, he liked it, he bought it, he plugged it in and the bloody thing blew up.
Well, at least he bought it and liked it.
I was blind.
- Yeah.
I mean, what idiot wires a lamp like that? I was eight.
They're the same, but they look different.
Oh, that's, um - that's probably colour.
Colour! They told me about colour.
Never understood it before.
It's awesome, different colours.
What's that colour called? That's orange.
Orange! Orange is the best colour.
And that, what, what's that called? That's Marley's bottom.
What colour is it? Well, it's less of a colour, more of a shape.
It's awesome.
Yeah, we don't really talk about ladies' bums.
Quite right too, Vicar.
However, if he chose the word awesome, then who are we to argue? He was so young.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Jill.
Tragic.
Mmm, yet still no tears.
I gave you points for the awesome arse, don't push it.
He, he said I had a lovely face.
I said it felt like you had a lovely face.
Oh, Jill.
Never actually seen a face before.
No point of reference.
I didn't realise that a nose half an inch too far to the left was the difference between very handsome and Michael.
I, I'm, I'm not an example of what's not handsome.
Take me through it.
Apart from incredible good looks do I have powers? What can I do, what can't I do? We don't have an actual physical presence but I've been working on a theory.
What are you trying to do? Hang on.
- What? - Hang on.
- What's happening? Nothing.
Never does.
- Never? Ever.
And he's even tried surprising it.
That didn't work.
Hard to believe, isn't it? - Let's, let's go and see stuff.
What sort of stuff? I dunno.
Stuff, anything.
I don't know what there is to see, I've never seen anything before.
Just not fair! No it's not.
It's terrible.
Tragic.
Anything? Um, no.
I just don't think you can do proper feelings.
Let's go.
Let's have some fun.
I need you to show me about.
Oh, d'you mind if we? Oh, do what you like.
I don't care.
I'm obviously incapable of caring about anything at all.
Pardon? Oh, nothing.
Come on Vicar.
Life wasn't very kind to my brother Ryan.
He lived all his life in the dark.
Hopefully now he's found the light he so truly deserves.
Oh come on.
She's putting it on! Everything's huge! It's brilliant! And I don't bump into things anymore, I run through them.
Watch! Ha! It's brilliant! I have tried talking to Marley.
She just gets angry with herself.
Yesterday she shouted at me 'cause she couldn't cry.
Then I cried and she got angry.
I'd like to thank everyone for coming here today to celebrate the life of my brother Ryan.
He was a quiet and humble man who had the cards of life stacked against him but somehow he managed to make the most of it.
This is amazing.
This is amazing.
She's so upset about not being able to be upset, that makes me upset.
Can't find anything orange though.
Needs more orange.
You know, Ryan, there are more things to look at in the world than orange things.
Like what? - Grand Canyon? That's a bit orange.
Pyramids? - That's kind of orangey.
What time does it start? Never seen the pyramids.
Never seen the Grand Canyon.
There's lots of things I'd like to see.
Guys, we'll go to the church.
They're gonna bury me.
That's one of them.
- Mmm.
Come on, if we don't go we're gonna miss it.
Where's the church? My hope now is that he'll be in a better place, where he can be who he wants to be and see who he wants to see.
So this is church? - Yes, we were competitive - It's big, innit? Like so many brothers are - Who's that? That's our lord, Jesus Christ.
That's him, that's Jesus Christ almighty? That's what he looks like? - CHARLIE: That was only because I loved him so much.
He's not as good looking as me, is he? And now he's gone.
- No wonder he's not as popular as he used to be.
The church are trying to find ways to change that.
Could paint him orange.
I know I'm never gonna be able to replace him.
- It's a good turnout.
Everyone having a good old cry.
Unlike me, Ryan was never good with his hands.
Well nearly everyone.
- Yeah, okay, I've got a problem.
- Oh shut up.
- Who's that talking? - The Lord moves in mysterious ways.
- That's your brother, Charlie.
- A brother I truly loved.
No you didn't, you hated me! Ryan had his problems.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I did, yeah, you.
But I always loved him.
No you didn't.
No he didn't.
Shh.
It's a funeral.
It's my funeral, I can do what I want.
You're an idiot, you're a liar and I cannot believe you're saying this! I hope you're in a happier place.
So where have you been the last few days? You missed us? - No, just, you know.
- Goodbye, brother.
Ryan wanted to see things.
- Oh, what things? - Mirrors.
Ryan spends a lot of time with mirrors.
Basically he enjoys any reflective surface.
I just love being able to see myself.
Yes, you're handsome, but you might get a bit bored just staring at yourself all day long.
Doubt it.
However I do want to see everything.
Ryan wants to go abroad.
Never been abroad.
See, the things is Marley Hang on.
I am not a bad person.
I know you're not.
- I've just been thinking about Ryan and I cried and I was, I was overwhelmed.
You need a hug.
And I want to go to bed with Ryan's brother.
He's coming round and I just need something a bit sexy to wear.
You've got that see-through black number.
You want to go to bed with your dead lover's brother? I really do.
Does that make me a bad person? No, no, not - pretty much, yeah.
I thought he was horrible.
No, he's been nice to me.
I mean, maybe he just didn't like Ryan.
Oh yeah.
That makes sense.
Pardon? My bum number.
Oh! You're not gonna start singing, are you? No.
I just don't want to see your face when you hear this.
Hear what? Ryan wants us to go away with him.
I mean, if we're honest it hasn't been much fun round here lately, has it? You've been a bit snippy, always shouting at me.
All I do is stare at stuff.
It's never gonna move, but I keep staring at it.
There's gotta be more to life - to death, than this.
I just think you don't want us around.
I've been upset.
Have you, Marley? Can you get upset? Can you cry, Marley? Marley? Marley? It feels like you never really loved us.
Oh that's - look, just 'cause I can't cry, it doesn't mean - well, I don't know what it means but can we talk about this later? We won't be here later.
Marley? Marley? Oh, let's see if it fits.
Have you lost something? I don't know.
Vicar? Adam? Michael? Marley, thanks for the dress.
Are you alright? Yes, I - Was it Ryan's funeral? Did it remind you of what you'd lost? What? Oh, it's very sad being on your own.
I mean, you should try and meet someone else, bit of company.
Wish me luck.
- Hi.
- Hi, oh thanks.
Looks to me like a tear.
Oh.
I thought you'd all left.
Never going to happen.
You're my wife.
My lover.
- My friend.
Who exactly are the tears for? I think they're for you.
'You' as in me, Michael? We agreed that if she cried we wouldn't ask who it was for.
It was just good that she was who exactly are you crying for? You.
"You" as in me, Adam? The important thing is Marley can cry.
She's done her first tear.
I thought I was a bad person.
I thought I was never gonna see you again.
OK, this is a bit embarrassing.
Just wanted a single tear.
A little bit of emotion, sign that you felt something.
I had a dog, Sheffy.
She was run over.
I wore the wrong socks on the day of the school photo.
Everybody laughed.
At the time my dad left home and my mum was crying and my sister was crying and I wanted to cry but I couldn't.
Couldn't.
Well, someone had to be strong but I couldn't let them see me cry, so I didn't.
And I wanted to.
But I promised myself I would never cry.
And I haven't.
Ready to see the world? We're not coming with you, Ryan.
You said you wanted to - We lied.
Why? How can you want to be with her and not me? Not difficult.
I know you're very good looking, but actually, Ryan, you're an ugly person.
Well, stuff you.
I'll take my face elsewhere.
If you change your mind I'll be in Vegas.
Thank you.
No! Help! Help me! Help! Help! Gum.
I was fixing this lamp and I Help! No! I was eight!
