Episode 4

There was two loads I heard.
So how is it that mine got nicked and yours went straight through? Have a drink Fran, will you.
John Boy wants me to pipe bomb Franno's house.
So what? He wants me to pipe bomb the house when she's there.
Three operations she's going to have to have now.
I want him dead.
Who do you want to get to do it? Tommy.
What's that for? Sorting out that rat problem I had.
Will you not come, no? Linda, come on.
You can't stay here.
Will you not just come with me? Is it cos it's a mobile home? Is it cos of what you look like? I told you I'll get it sorted for you.
Get the plastic surgeon in and you'll end up looking better than you did.
I can't stay here Linda.
I tell you one thing.
I'm going to get that John Boy scumbag.
Before he gets me, I'll get him.
I swear.
She says she's happy it's going to be a boy but I know she wants a girl.
I said we'll try again but I don't know if I could do it over.
Two is perfect.
Three, I just don't know.
What did I do now? If you don't like it here fuck off.
No-one's asking you to stay.
I didn't say anything.
I can see you looking.
I wasn't.
Where am I supposed to look? Don't look at me with that smart look.
I know what you're thinking.
I'm not thinking anything.
I told her not to be smoking spliff in the house.
She thinks I do a bit of Charlie Chan, it's the same deal.
It's not the fuckin' same thing.
BUZZER.
.
See who that is.
Letting her smoking shit in the house, she'd be leaving it everywhere.
I get me shit, I do it.
It's done, all gone.
Cops got nothing on me.
It's Tommy.
Are you on your own? Yeah.
Anyone near you? No.
Make sure the door's closed after you.
Yeah.
Here.
Nah.
Have to keep the head together in case Trish has to go to hospital.
She could pop at any time.
New house rule Nidge.
Shut the fuck up about your misses having the sprog.
I heard you the first time.
I'm delighted for you.
You're having another you.
Fair fucks.
You done well.
You can put Nidge Weasel and Sons over the shop door.
But don't be going on to me about it no more unless she has it.
Does that seem fair? Yeah.
He's inside.
Are you alright? You sure? Yeah.
Alright.
No, he's sulking.
I'm not.
Security not on today? Sure what would I need it for when I'm here? I'd be broke if they were on 24/7.
Here.
Tell Siobhan she's playing a blinder.
Up all last night I was, looking at the CCTV.
Did you see your ghost? I saw fuck all.
What do you think it is? You don't think it could be Hughie? Hughie.
Sure what would Hughie be doing back here? Don't know.
Looking out for you.
He's got the whole of the universe to go anywhere he wants and he comes back here? Bollocks.
Hughie'd have found some bollock butt naked picnic party, pina coladas, pussy, a big telescope looking down on me.
Alright brother.
Bollocks.
Have you two found that fucker for me yet? Not yet, no.
We'll you'd want to get the finger out.
I want to get him before he gets me.
Where will I drop you off? Anywhere round here.
Up here okay? Yeah, here's cool.
Unless you want the company.
I'm doing nothing else.
I haven't seen her in ages.
I want to meet her on my own.
No problem.
I was only thinking cos I'm doing nothing else anyway.
Talk to you whenever.
Happy Christmas.
I'll see you before Christmas.
What's the story? Has security on him everywhere he goes.
Come on lads! Linda, will you call me back? I was thinking we can book into a hotel for Christmas.
After that maybe get an apartment down here.
What do you think? Will you ring me back.
Nigel! I'm here.
Wrecked I am.
Are you alright? That's Santy done.
What'd you get him? What he wrote on his list for his Santy letter.
If you're getting me something get me speakers for this, will you? Then it won't be a surprise, will it? Well don't only get me that.
I'm not getting you speakers.
Are we leaving his Santy toys in the boot? Where else can we put them? What? How much longer are we going to be here for? I'm not too sure, babe.
Are we going to be here for Christmas? That's a yes then.
Cos the cot and the little bath and everything is in the house.
Don't worry babe.
I'll get it sorted before you pop.
When do you think we can move back home? When that prick isn't around to bother us no more.
But it's John Boy he's after, not us.
Hey.
Rosie.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
Have you been waiting long? You're grand.
I'm only off the bus there now.
I was halfway out to the airport.
I told you I was getting the bus.
Sorry.
Relax, you're here now.
What are you smiling at? Nothing.
Is this all you have? Yeah.
Travelling light I am.
But you are staying? Yeah.
All I really had was a telly.
I let my flatmate keep it.
Sure I have a telly.
Do you? Yeah.
You can come round and watch it if you want.
Maybe I will.
Got all the channels and everything.
So is your ma expecting you today? Today or tomorrow.
Would she be upset if you didn't turn up? Why, thinking of kidnapping me? Yeah.
Maybe I am.
Making me walk the plank? I might have to tie you up first.
I'll have to let you first.
Will we go for a drink? Yeah, where do you want to go? Have you got any beers back at yours? Yeah, I've got beer, vodka.
I've got a full bar license.
Yeah? Go get me drunk so.
What? Nothing.
Hi Da.
Didn't think you were coming.
Can you come in? Not really.
Ma won't mind.
I could introduce you to my friends.
I can't.
That's okay.
Hop in.
I want to show you something up the road.
Ma will be wondering where I am.
Come on.
Have you back in half an hour.
Linda, this is shit.
You're putting me in the doghouse for nothing.
If you don't ring me back I'm going to come back there and wreck the gaff and then we'll see what you do.
All I want you to do is ring me back.
This is bollocks.
Come out and look after the dogs.
I'll be back in a bit.
What are we doing here Da? It's your present.
It's mine? Oh my God.
You're not joking.
It's your birthday present and your Christmas present all in one.
Da, it's amazing.
It's unbelievable.
Thank you so much.
Happy birthday.
It's nothing.
All the lads wear them.
You've never worn them.
Does someone want to shoot you Da? Kayleigh, come here to me.
Please Da.
Don't get yourself killed.
Kayleigh, listen to me.
That's not going to happen.
The whole way through the pregnancy the thought of doing it made me gag.
Now 2 weeks to go, I'm so horny.
I'd get up on Shrek.
Excuse me.
Yes Madame.
Could I have a glass of white wine please, chardonnay.
Glass of wine Mary? Ah go on.
I hardly see you these days.
Okay.
I'll have the same.
Okay.
How come you're drinking? Ah fuck it.
The baby's cooked at this stage.
So how's the romance going with Joe? Are you getting wined, dined and sixty-nined? I wish.
Ah he's alright.
I can take it or leave it.
What's wrong with him? Nothing.
There's nothing wrong with him I suppose.
It's just.
.
He's a bit mean.
What, does he not buy you things? I don't want him to buy me things.
I'm not looking for him to give me money or anything but he never pays for anything.
He pays for nothing? No.
You pay? It's like.
.
Don't say anything but like the other day.
He said to me he wanted to get me an X-Box for Christmas.
But I don't want an X-Box but that's what he wanted.
So he said why didn't we go halves on one together so we could buy it for each other.
I didn't even want one.
The tight-arse.
I know.
What are you doing with him? I don't know.
Here, what'll we drink to? Shrek.
I heard about Stephen.
Stumpy getting shot.
Yeah, I know.
Look, it's nothing to do with me if that's what you're thinking.
No.
Do you know who did it? Nope.
To be honest I could've give a fuck.
I know it's hard on his ma and all but, he was what he was.
Let's not talk about it.
It's good to be back.
Yeah.
London was fine but I missed home.
I had no friends really.
Had no-one to keep you company? No.
You? No.
No-one? No.
What about you? No.
I was lonesome for you.
I was lonesome for you.
That was nice.
Forgot what that was like.
Yeah.
We better get you back to your ma's.
Funny boy.
Missed you.
I love you.
I love you.
I miss you.
I wish we could stay here forever.
Never have to leave this room.
We don't have to.
Linda! Linda! Linda, do you not answer your fuckin' phone any more? I was heading out for a bit.
Did Kayleigh like her new car? Can I get some money off you? I want to buy some Christmas stuff.
I wanted to get a new handbag as well.
How much do you want? Maybe a thousand.
For a handbag? That's how much they cost.
Thanks.
Don't know Aido.
I'm clean the past 3 months.
It's up to yourself man.
I don't want to see anyone stuck short over the Christmas.
Don't know, I'm skint.
You can sort me out again, yeah? Go on.
I'll get you back.
I'll give you a hand with them.
I was just having a quick smoke.
Don't worry about it.
I'll do it.
No, give me that.
You've enough food in here to feed an army.
the price of things these days.
That's not including drink, is it? No.
I can pay for the drink if you like.
Yeah you can.
And you know what you can do? You can drink it on your own.
What do you mean Mary? Know what you are? You're a leech.
I said I'd pay for the drink, didn't I.
You know what you can do with yourself.
You can fuck off.
I just wanted to see is all.
I know I'm supposed to ring beforehand.
It's not that Luke.

They love seeing you but it's just not good for you.
I just wanted to say hello.
Have you got somewhere to go for Christmas? Ah yeah.
I'm meeting my da's new family in Cork.
Rang me up out of the blue.
Are you going to be okay? I've some good mates, you know.
It's hard having no family at Christmas.
I've got this one mate, he's great.
And do you have a girlfriend Luke? I have a sort of one.
She's got kids.
She's my mate's sister.
Howya, do you have a ticket? Give the little elf your ticket.
What's his name? It's Warren.
How old is he? He's 5.
You're next to see Santy buddy.
Don't forget to tell him what you want.
You remember? You can come through now.
Doesn't matter.
Santy will know.
Tell him you put it all in your letter.
Who is it? Who is it? Who's that? Come on buddy.
I'm here with you.
Do you want your present from Santy, Warren? Come on.
We're holding up the whole queue.
Who do we have here now? This is Warren.
He's been a good boy all year.
And what do you want from Santa this year? Presents? Well here's one now for you.
What do you say? Thank you.
You'll be in bed early won't you, for Christmas Eve? Santa only comes to boys and girls who go to bed early.
You won't forget to leave out carrots for Rudolph? Take the photo so.
Okay Warren.
Big smile for Santy.
Do you not answer your phone now? Sorry, I'm seeing Santy with Warren.
What's the story? Fran the man's misses is after topping herself.
Did you hear me? Yeah.
So he's going to be coming out of whatever hole he was hiding in.
What did she do? Did you not hear me the first time? She topped herself.
Yeah, but how? How should I know? But it's a result for us so we're going to get moving.
Yeah.
Alright.
For God's sake.
Ah for Jaysus sake.
Come here buddy, you're alright.
Sorry Santy.
I don't want a cheap one but I don't.
.
I want a good one, you know.
This one here is from our premier selection.
It's very traditional.
You know about her face? I want her to look like herself.
Not too much make-up.
No red on her cheeks or nothing.
But you can sort that out? I want her to look beautiful like she was before.
Before they done that to her.
Alright? Yeah.
What are you doing with that? John Boy asked me to pick one up for him.
He's going to keep it in the gaff? Well he doesn't want to end up dead, does he? You alright? Yeah, why? Don't be shaking like that in front of John Boy.
You'll be grand.
Cheers.
Did you get that for me? Yeah.
So, what's the story? Fran dead yet? No.
Why not? What are you waiting for? Alright Debs.
I have money.
Cool yeah.
What I'm charging is practically giving it away.
This is my budgie.
It's a beaut.
What's his name? Aido.
His name's Aido? Yeah.
I couldn't think of a name for him so I named him after myself.
Want to hit the road or shoot up here? Here? Think I'll join you.
We're here now Mick, alright.
I don't know.
He's been joyriding since he was a nipper.
Nidge, he's a kid but.
Doesn't matter.
You seen him drive? I'm not using him.
He's unreal, I seen him.
He's like Evil Knieval only in a car.
Wheelies, back flips, loop the loops.
He can make a motor do whatever he wants.
With him driving no matter what happens, you get out of there.
Alright Nidge.
Howya Micka.
How's things? Alright.
Good man.
Jump in and we'll drive.
We need a car ready to go like that.
Want me to get it or can you? I have one already marked.
What is it? Subaru Imprezza.
WRX STI.
Fuckin' savage car.
Mr.
Micka Top Gear is what you are.
The fella who owns it is on holidays.
Make sure you burn it afterwards.
Yeah.
That's for you.
Buzz on home and charge it.
I'll call you later.
Keep it on.
Yeah.
And don't be going out.
So that's me clear then, is it Nidge? How much is it you owe now? Right.
Do it right and I'll leave you off.
How's that? Sound Nidge.
Game ball.
So when I move in this room is mine, yeah? No, this half of the bed is yours.
I thought we were flatmates.
Do flatmates not get their own room? No, we're bunk buddies.
Bunk buddies.
I like that.
I want a TV in here but.
A big one? Yeah.
Huge.
Jeez, I don't know.
Why not? I put a TV in here and then next thing, one day I wake up and you've got the curlers in your hair and the slippers on and you're watching Corrie.
It'd be like where's sexy Rosie gone to.
No curlers.
Swear? I swear.
Do you think we'll find time for the other if you're watching TV all the time in here? Are you worried it might kill the passion? Yeah, a bit.
I'm worried all your TV watching will cut into our baby making time.
I forgot.
It's okay.
Well, we can watch TV and make babies at the same time.
Do you want to? Well I'd prefer to have the TV off.
No Darren, seriously.
I mean is that what you want? Babies with me? Yeah.
Yeah 100%.
Do you want kids in general or with me? Only with you.
What did you do to her Aido? I didn't do nothing.
Where is she? She's after locking herself in the bedroom.
What the fuck is she doing in there? I don't know.
She's mad in the head.
Said she wouldn't come out until you were here.
Show me where she is.
In there.
Debbie.
It's Tommy.
Open the door, will you.
Debbie.
Tommy? Yeah.
What are you doing? I'm a mess.
Did something happen? Are you alright? It's all shit, you know.
Everything.
I'll bring you home.
I'll drop you here so we're not seen.
You need help, you know that? Look, is there any point in saying anything to John Boy? He'd put me out.
Probably kill me first.
It used to be good.
But now I hate him.
Move out then.
Move back to your folks.
They wouldn't have me back.
I'll stay where I am.
Maybe you should think about moving out anyway.
Yeah? And go where? Are you going to look after me? Yeah.
He's in his local boozer.
Been drinking all night.
Going in and out of the bookies next door.
Alright? Yeah.
Stop the car.
Stop the car! Keep the car running.
Don't rev it.

They let the young fella out.
I'm in the hospital John.
Do I put the cloves in first Ma, or the honey? Come on.
Alright John Boy.
Your little pal's out, the muppet.
Says he didn't say anything to them but there's enough on him that if he does talk, it wouldn't be good for you.
What do you think? You need to think about what you're going to do about that.
Okay Mammy.
You're fully dilated so your baby's ready to come.
It's ten to twelve.
You'll be having a Christmas baby so.
Daddy, will you get the clothes for the baby ready? What clothes? In the bag.
What bag? Are you feeling better? Yeah.
It's just a stomach bug or something.
Do you need to go to the doctor? No, I'll be grand.

Good girl.
It's gas the way they come out naked and you have to dress them.
Here you are.
Do you want me to pour? Thanks.
Milk and sugar? Milk, no sugar please.
Boy or girl? A boy.
He'll be Noel or Christie so.
No fuckin' way.
Toast.
You reckon I can ask for more? Hey.
Were you asleep? I thought you were staying at your folks.
Dad's using my old room as an office.
You look good.
Thought you'd gone off me.
No.
Just under pressure, that's all.
Do you want to go to bed? Yeah.
Hiya Luke.
Come on in.
Thanks for inviting me Mary.
We love having people over.
The shops were all closing yesterday but I got you these.
Thanks a million.
You're very good.
Darren, it's Luke.
Shit.
Mary's in a bad mood.
I'm not in a bad mood.
I just burned me hand.
Are you alright? She split up with Joe yesterday.
Shut up.
Don't be talking about that in front of the kids.
They don't know.
Cheers man.
Cheers.
Can I do anything for you Mary? Actually, you can mash this so it doesn't have any lumps.
Alright baby.
How are you feeling? Tired.
Got no sleep.
When are you coming in? When's visiting time? Husbands can come in any time.
I forgot to send over Warren's Santy presents.
Bollocks.
Will you drop them to your ma on your way in? And hurry up, will you? I need you to look after Bobby so I can get a few hours kip.
Alright baby.
I'll see you soon.
This is lovely.
You're better off without him Mary, if he was like that.
Ah you know.
I'll help you clear up.
No, you're grand.
I just want to get one load in the dishwasher.
Then I'll sit down.
Darren.
Is Rosie coming over? Yeah.
She said she'd be over later.
Then I've got to go to John Boy's.
He's having a party for Nidge.
He should've treated you right, you know what I mean Mary.
He should've treated you like a princess.
If you were mine that's the way I'd treat you.
Like a princess.
Like the beautiful princess you are.
Luke, another beer? No, I'm grand.
Thanks.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Rosie.
What? Ah Jesus Ma, don't start please.
If you don't want me to say anything, I won't.
No I don't.
I already know what you're going to say.
Sweetheart, I can't not say it to you.
I know.
I heard it before.
Your ma didn't like my da and you should've listened to her.
Well I should've.
Then I wouldn't have been born, would I? Rosie please.
I'm happy Ma.
For once I'm happy.
I love him, I do.
I totally love him.
I know you do sweetheart.
He said he had nothing to do with it and I believe him.
The dogs in the street would say different, wouldn't they.
Darren is not a killer.
I know he's not.
Here's the to the Nidge Weasel.
Nidge Weasel and Sons.
How's everything going? Good.
I want to get you to do some more things for me.
Yeah.
You know how to finish a job, not like that dopey fuck.
Where is he? What's going on? Nothing.
Just smoking a joint.
Fuck off.
Stop it John Boy! John! John! Leave it! I hurt myself today to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain.
The only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole.
The old familiar stain.
Try to kill it all away.
But I remember everything.
What have I become, my sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end.
And you could have it all.
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down.
I will make you hurt.
If I could start again a million miles away, I would keep myself.
I would find a way.
