The Sandman (2022) s04e07 Episode Script

Hi, Johnny. It's me, Kayla.
I'm really sorry about your grandad.
I just wanted to know if you're OK.
When you get a chance, call me.
Kettle's boiled.
What you doing here?
Ooh, caused some damage in these.
I used to love to watch you box.
Women trouble?
Rose is a good girl.
I want you to look after
Rose and Queenie, yeah?
Man of the household now.
I will.
Promise.
It's easy money.
All right, and whatever I win,
you can have it to clear
me debts for the funeral.
You don't care about that, do you, Dad?
When's the next fight?
- Look, you won't want to
- When?
- In a few days.
- Right. I'll do it.
- It wouldn't be right.
- Why not?
Huh? Grandad'd love it.
Look. Why don't you
wait a few more weeks?
No!
Right, I don't want to owe anyone!
I gotta pay for his
send off, no-one else.
It's what he'd want.
OK.
Thank you.
- Who's that?
- Dunno.
Johnny.
I thought you'd nicked it.
I was tempted. SHE LAUGHS
I'm really sorry about your grandad.
Funeral's tomorrow,
- if you want to come.
- Course.
When my grandad Frank
died, only keepsake
I got was a donkey ashtray he
nicked from some bar in Benidorm.
I'm not keeping this.
I'm burning it.
- Why?
- To set his soul free.
It's what we do.
You should go, I got to start training.
- Got a fight on tomorrow.
- A fight?!
Yeah. Got to pay for his funeral.
Why can't you do some
more gigs instead? I mean,
- I can help you.
- No.
This is what me grandad would want.
It's what I want.
Gonna use his gloves one last time.
You ready, lad, eh?
Johnny, I
Thanks for the jacket.
Yeah?
The computers have gone
funny. There's summat in 'em
Eh? What, like a virus?
Like a samosa.
A ?
Oh
It's like we've been invaded.
We'll be printing out poppadoms next.
Heard you got a nasty infection, sir?
I got the number of a
clinic. IT Clinic, obviously.
- Anyone important?
- Yeah, Mrs Carp.
- That was the Head of the Trust.
- Ken?
And I've assured him, that
anyone who thinks sabotaging
school equipment will get
them off future lessons
has another think coming.
Allow me to introduce you
to two non-digital devices,
ie, the pad and the pen.
- Thank you.
- Seriously old school, bro.
It's the Yorkshire weather.
Y'know the rain, is
not good for her bones.
I think maybe your
mother should go back
to Lahore.
Actually she said the kebabs we
had last night disagreed with her
My kebabs?!
I thought we could invite her
over to yours again tonight.
- Why?
- To make sure she's OK.
- We've got nothing planned, have we?
- No, no. Tonight is good.
- Go before I change mind.
- Mwah.
- Looking good, sir.
- Thank you, Chloe.
Hey. You might want to go
for this professional look
for your little cheeky date tonight.
Tell you what, why don't
you come round to mine later,
and you can help me
pick an outfit out, yeah.
- Yeah?!
- No.
You ready for the off, girls? Come on.
Oh, hang on, you got
room for a littl'un?
Didn't think you'd want to come, Sue.
You know me, I'm dead keen to
learn more about traveller culture.
First I've heard of it.
Oh, Mr Hyatt, you can
cover for me, can't you?
I might be some time, these
things tend to go on for a bit,
- so I've heard.
- Hey.
Your coursework is two
weeks overdue, Tahir.
Sir, I emailed it last night.
I hope it hasn't gone missing.
After all that effort!
Can't believe we're
never gonna see him again.
We'll be OK.
Yeah?
You look amazing.
The cars will be here in ten minutes.
Dad said something about some
girl being here yesterday.
Yeah. Yes, she came to
drop some homework off.
Well, you won't have time
for that when we're wed.
- Who is she?
- I dunno.
You were strong.
A fighter.
I wish I'd told you
how much I loved you.
Wish I'd said a lot of things.
You knew, didn't you?
I'm gonna make you proud.
Shouldn't you be back at school?
- I was worried about you.
- No need.
Why are you shutting me out?
I want to help if you need
someone to talk to, then.
I've got them already.
They're all I need.
- Who's that girl you were with?
- She's like family.
I've known her for years.
- What's her name?
- What's with all the questions? Huh?
You gorgers are all the same.
Grandad said we should
stick to our own kind.
You sound like half
the kids I grew up with.
Y'know, best we don't mix.
I wouldn't even exist if my mum
and dad had stuck to their own kind.
You should go,
I don't even know why you're here.
You do.
- Look, you kissed me.
- Shut up, will ya?!
- I didn't come to here to upset you.
- I ain't crying.
Come on, Martin. Cool and collected.
Bring it.
That's it.
Jesus!
He's here.
Thank you. Come in. Thanks, Lorraine.
Yeah, I think we've managed to extract
your coursework from the server.
Yeah? Just need to make sure
it's actually yours, though.
Remind me again, what was the title?
Hm?
I knew it.
I want them samosas disappeared
- ASAP!
- In you come.
- To Grandad, yeah?
- To Grandad!
- To Grandad!
Do you reckon Johnny'll
be back at school tomorrow?
- No idea.
- Hm.
- Fizza
- Has he
said anything to you?
About what?
Me
Me and him.
You like Johnny?
- But I thought you said it was just
- A one-night stand?
Yeah, that were the plan.
I dunno, he made me feel like
finally someone got me.
Like he proper cared.
The one time in my life
I actually proper fall for someone,
and he reckons we're just mates.
And I can't even talk to him about it
'cos his grandad's just
gone and snuffed it.
I hate feeling like this! It's
just, like, whatever I'm doing,
all I can think about
Johnny.
What's this, Mothers' Union?
Inside, girls.
This is Jules, leave a message.
Mum?
Look, when are you coming home?
I need you.
You're a natural. LAUGHTER
Come and go any time you please.
Sounding good, guys.
Do you want to join my band?
Here he is. Whey.
You did good this
morning. You did him proud.
So whenever you're ready
to come back full-time,
- you just let
- I'm not coming back.
Going to make some money.
By fighting? Hm?
It was the talk of the funeral.
Three grand if I win, one if I don't.
Either way, I can't lose.
Listen, I'm not criticising
your culture or anything
- Boxing ain't just for gypsies.
- I didn't mean it like that, Johnny.
Yeah, you did.
You think we're nothing
but scrappers and thieves.
My grandad taught me how to box to
defend myself from people like you.
I'm good at it, an' all!
Why not make some money off it?
Because you have so much more
to give. You know you do, Johnny.
Everything was good before we come here.
What about the music?
You could do so much.
I know you love it
You know nothing!
- Acting like you care!
- 'Cos I do care.
Everyone is laughing about you.
Ain't you noticed?
They all know about you and
this woman you met online.
It's Marina what's doing it.
You're a joke, sir.
A joke.
- It's my heart.
- Just beating with life?
Yeah.
And Mr Evershed doesn't
The samosas have left the building, sir.
- He's a genius, him.
- Taught Zuckerberg all he knows.
Mustafa Zuckerberg that is,
- Anorak King of the North West.
- Just shut up.
You think this is a joke, do you?
Wind up Mr Evershed for a laugh?
Is that what it is?
I don't know why I bother with you lot.
You tell me
- what is the point in you? Huh?
Why am I here slogging my guts out
when you obviously do not care?!
When you get out there in the
real world, you are going to regret
all the opportunities that
this school has given you!
Can you not get that inside your head?!
- I'm sorry, sir.
- So am I!
Get out.
Lorraine, was the S drive on the desktop
before he started mucking about with it?
- What?
- Was the S drive
You know what? Forget
it, I'll do it myself!
What's all this?
- What was I doing in your bed?
- Oh, you were tired.
Where's Rashid gone?
Oh, he taken Nana and the
kids to House of Chicken.
Oh.
There you go.
Oh, no, no! You're not
leaving. You're not well.
You can't stop me.
Go on, then, go!
I don't want to be
fighting with anyone
Oh. Sink, sink! No,
no. Sink, sink, sink.
It's OK. Come on. It's OK.
You stayed to look after me?
I'm so sorry.
I don't even like that chicken place.
Everything swimming in grease.
I was so cruel to you.
- Oh.
- I don't mean it.
Rashid was always my favourite.
We were so close when he was little.
Then he came to England,
and I had no-one.
You should drink.
When I was ill,
my mother used to bring me haldi doodh.
I should have been kinder to her, too.
But she was uneducated
and I was ashamed.
I thought your mother were a doctor?
She was a kanjari.
I never knew my father,
so I told everybody that my
parents were doctors in Karachi,
and had that they had moved to Canada.
I've never told anyone,
not even Rashid.
I wanted him to have a happy family.
To have his own children.
Do you think I'm too old to have a baby?
I think I might be pregnant.
But it might be nothing.
Or it might be a baby.
Ha.
He would be so thrilled.
You can't say nothing. Please.
We all have our secrets.
You keep mine,
and I'll keep yours.
He's a streak of nowt. You
got this, son. Yeah? Focus.
Focus. Yeah?
This is Rex Cooper's blood.
You better watch out, son.
Touch gloves.
Buckle up.
- Fight!
- Go on, lad.
Go on, lad!
- Good one, that's it!
- And again. More of the same, come on.
Johnny. Johnny. Johnny.
Johnny. Johnny. Johnny.
Johnny!
Come on, you can do it! Come on!
Focus!
Get up! Get up, lad! Come on, get up.
- One,
- Come on lad, get up.
two, three. You're out!
Mum!
Darling.
God. In Nayla's bag?
Well, your dad never
fails to disappoint.
Never had very good
taste in men, have I?
- Well, you might meet somebody decent one day.
- Hm!
Never going to happen.
I'll get it.
So, what have you been up
to while I've been away?
I lost.
I couldn't fight.
I had you in my head.
I like you.
No, you don't.
- I'm a gorger.
- I don't care about that!
I just I just want to be with you.
No. Look, we can't.
Right, what about Fizza?
- She's the one you
- No. I want you!
It's not going to happen, Johnny.
- Why not? Why not?!
- 'Cos she's my best mate.
- And?
- And she's in love with you.
Kayla. Kayla!
Where've you been?
Nowhere special.
I won't be going back there.
I thought you were going
to do this tomorrow?
What's the point in waiting?
Time to let go of the past.
Isn't it?
